Dementia care programming: An identity-focused approach
No full textEver-increasing numbers of people with dementia are entering professional care settings and creating a sense of urgency among caregivers. Dementia Care Programming: An Identity-Focused Approach helps readers recognize that there is no single right answer to how we meet the needs of persons with dementia in these professional care settings. This book points out how dementia caregiving is filled with opportunities for adventure, nurturing, being nurtured, and creative problem solving -- plenty of opportunities to meet difficult challenges.bookPublished

Traceability of the PGI product “Vitellone Bianco dell’Appennino Centrale” by SNP markers
No full textTraceability of meat has become a key aspect of food-quality assurance and a priority for EU countries, to meet consumer demand for comprehensive and integrated food safety policies. In this context, the traceability of animals and animal products at the breed level might play a key role as it would enable the certification of regional products linked to particular breeds. Technologies based on DNA analysis have the potential to achieve this goal by-passing the large scale and systematic biological sampling necessary for individual fingerprinting. The objective of this work was to test the power of a SNP panel to trace PGI "Vitellone Bianco dell'Appennino Centrale", a product linked to three breeds: Chianina, Marchigiana and Romagnola. A total of 180 unrelated animals belonging to PGI-allowed breeds (Chianina n=22; Romagnola n=22; and Marchigiana n=22) and PGI-not allowed breeds (Piemontese n=22, Maremmana n=24, Italian Red Pied n=24, Italian Brown n=22, Italian Friesian n=22) were sampled and genotyped with a panel of 130 SNP in 90 independent genes. Individual genotypes were assigned to breed by Bayesian based clustering approach. In particular the SNP data were analysed by the Rannala and Mountain approach implemented in the software Geneclass 2 (file:///C:/Software/ GeneClass2/Help/index.htm). The SNP-based molecular approach in combination with Bayesian assignment algorithms allowed an overall correct assignment of more than 95% of individuals to their breeds of origins. This percentage increase to 96% grouping the breeds allowed in a unique cluster. Sorting the SNPs by their Gst values and using the 90 showing a value higher than 0.01, we maintain the same rate of allocation success indicating that selecting SNPs for their informative content will reduce the number of markers required for a reliable traceability at breed level, reducing the laboratory effort and consequently the cost for the large scale application of the method Our results suggest that SNP markers in combination with Bayesian algorithm can be exploited in allocation studies and are able to trace "Vitellone Bianco dell'Appennino Centrale". The main advantages of SNP are their abundance and the potential of full automation
Análisis de la variabilidad genética en razas equinas autóctonas españolas detectada mediante microsatélites
No full textTesis de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de Veterinaria, Departamento de Producción Animal, leída el 09-07-2004En la actualidad existe una gran proporción de razas que se encuentran en peligro de extinción, cuyas perspectivas de futuro dependen del establecimiento de programas de conservación, que deben estar sustentados, entre otros, sobre estudios de diversidad genética. Este trabajo estudia el estado genético de siete razas autóctonas de caballos españoles en peligro de extinción (Asturcón, Losina, Jaca Navarra, Pura raza de Caballo Gallego, Pottoka, Mallorquina y Menorquina) mediante la utilización de 13 microsatélites, ya que han demostrado ser la herramienta más adecuada para detectar la variabilidad genética entre razas estrechamente relacionadas. Estas siete razas fueron comparadas con una muestra poblacional de la Raza Pura Sangre Inglés. Tomando como medidas de diversidad genética intrapoblacional la heterocigosis y la diversidad alélica, se observaron diferencias significativas entre las razas autóctonas para el número de alelos observados, pero no para la heterocigosis (P menor 0,05). Tanto solo la Raza Mallorquina parece haber atravesado recientemente un cuello de botella, lo que está justificado por las diferencias encontradas entre la heterocigosis, y la diversidad alélica. Los dendrogramas construidos a partir de dos matrices de distancia, Da y FST, con una correlación de r=0,97, mostraron en ambos casos a las razas Mallorquina y Menorquina agrupadas en un clado distinto al reso de razas, estando más próximas a la Raza Pura Sangre Inglés. En el análisis de Correspondencia las razas Asturcón, Jaca Navarra y Losina, son las que contriubyen en mayor medida a la diversidad genética, para el primer, segundo y tercer factor, respectivamente. De los tres métodos utilizados para asignar o excluir poblaciones como irigen de individuos, el método Bayesiano fue el que mejores resutlados aportó, estando la eficacia en la asignación correlacionada positivamente con el nivel de diferenciación genética existente entre las razas probables. Los microsatélites más eficaces en la asignación variaron con las razas involucradas pero existe una correlación positiva entre el número de marcadores empleados y la eficacia en la asignación, aunque los costes de genotipado no compensan un empleo de más de diez a doce marcadores genéticos con este propósito.Depto. de Producción AnimalFac. de VeterinariaTRUEpu
