    La virginidad cristiana en Clemente de Alejandría2019-08

    El presente estudio investiga la opción cristiana por la virginidad en el pensamiento de Clemente de Alejandría. En nuestro autor no se encuentra una doctrina organizada sobre la virginidad cristiana, sin embargo, resulta sorprendente que si se estudian estos comentarios aislados de forma conjunta, se puede descubrir de forma clara y certera el pensamiento del maestro de Alejandría sobre la virginidad dentro del cristianismo. En este estudio, las citas textuales de las obras de Clemente de Alejandría servirán de referencia y nos guiarán en el desarrollo de su visión sobre la virginidad cristiana.

    Planificación anticipada de la asistencia sanitaria : un proceso válido para ayudar a morir en paz2021

    Actualmente, la mitad de la población muere en los hospitales, lejos del hogar, en ocasiones, también lejos de familiares y amigos; rodeado de personas con culturas, religiones y valores diferentes. Por otro lado, vivimos en una sociedad que niega y oculta la muerte; no se detiene a reflexionar sobre ella; y cuando llega ese momento, se convierte en un proceso doloroso e insoportable, atenazado por el miedo; lleno de interrogantes sin respuestas. Esta situación conlleva que, frecuentemente en el final de la vida, se generen conflictos éticos cuyas soluciones son difíciles de determinar y provocan dolor en aquellos que intervienen en la toma de decisiones. Garantizar el derecho de autonomía cuando aparece la incapacidad y la muerte es uno de los desafíos de las sociedades modernas. Partiendo del Documento de Voluntades Anticipadas y queriendo avanzar un paso más, surge en los Estados Unidos el proceso de Planificación Anticipada de la Asistencia Sanitaria como medio para preservar el derecho de autodeterminación de toda persona en cualquier circunstancia. El éxito de este proceso se encuentra en que proporciona al paciente, la familia y allegados un tiempo único para aceptar la finitud de la vida y afrontar la muerte en paz.

    Determinants of nutritional recovery status and survival time among children from 0 to 14 years old with acute malnutrition admitted to a therapeutic feeding center in Oromia, Southern Ethiopia: a retrospective cohort study2023-03-09

    Some studies have been conducted in Ethiopia to analyze the predictive factors associated with recovery or mortality in children with acute malnutrition, but no recent studies carried out in Oromia have analyze nutritional recovery status in this children. we studied the factors affecting nutritional recovery for survival in acutely malnourished children Southern Ethiopia. cohort study that included the children admitted to the (blinded for review) hospital (Oromia, Ethiopia) for acute malnutrition from January 2015 to December 2016 (n = 440). Kaplan–Meier tests and log-rank tests were used to describe the survival. Chi-squared tests and Spearman and Mann–Whitney U correlation tests were also employed. The mean survival time was shorter in children with severe versus moderate malnutrition at admission (49 days vs. 101 days; log-rank p = 0.042). The survival time was shorter in children with severe acute malnutrition at the time of admission. Survival time of children with moderate acute malnutrition was shorter in children who came from rural areas compared to urban areas. Severe acute malnutrition was associated with hospital stays, death rates, or transfer to another hospital. Practical implications: the results of this study may improve the care of children with malnutrition.

    The effect of virtual reality versus standard-of-care treatment on pain perception during paediatric vaccination: a randomised controlled trial2024

    Aims and Objectives: To determine the effect of immersive virtual reality (VR) on perceived pain and fear in children during vaccination and parental satisfaction with the procedure. Background: Virtual reality can reduce the perception of pain by children but only three studies have analysed its use during vaccination to date; these had small sample sizes and imperfect methodological designs. Design: A randomised controlled clinical trial. Methods: One hundred and sixty participants from the Tres Forques Health Center were randomly assigned to the intervention group (IG) (n = 82) in which distraction with immersive VR was used during the vaccination, while standard distraction techniques were used for the control group (n = 80). The primary outcome was pain (Wong–Baker FACES). Secondary outcomes included (Children's Fear Scale) and parental satisfaction with the vaccination procedure. Chi-squared tests were used for qualitative variables, relationships between quantitative variables were tested with Spearman correlations, and Mann–Whitney U- or Student t-tests were employed to assess the relationship between quantitative and qualitative variables. Results: Compared to the controls, the children in the IG reported significantly less pain and fear, while parental satisfaction was significantly higher. Reported pain and fear did not differ according to the sex of the patient. Child age was not linked to fear but was related to pain: the younger the patient, the greater the pain they described. Conclusions: Immersive VR effectively controlled pain and fear in children during vaccination and increased parent satisfaction with the vaccination process. Patient sex did not influence the level of pain and fear but age did. Relevance to clinical practice: Improving vaccination experiences can reduce perceived pain and fear in children and increase parent satisfaction, thereby enhancing vaccination schedule adherence and improving group immunity. Reporting Method: The CONSORT Statement for non-pharmacological randomised clinical trials were followed.

    El matrimonio cristiano en Clemente de Alejandría desde la antropología filosófica2019-12-20

    Clemente de Alejandría fundó la filosofía cristiana demostrando que fe y filosofía son verdaderamente comple-mentarias. Nacido a mediados del siglo II, inauguró la convergencia y alianza entre el cristianismo y la cultura griega. Sus obras poseen un valor inestimable dentro de la literatura eclesiástica y de la filosofía cristiana de los primeros siglos de la Iglesia. El presente estudio aborda desde la antropo-logía filosófica el pensamiento de Clemente de Alejandría sobre el matrimonio cristiano. Es cierto que el matrimonio no constituye uno de los temas centrales en las obras del autor cristiano, no obstante, dedicó gran parte del tercer libro de los Stromata a refutar doctrinas heréticas surgidas en torno al matrimonio. Este trabajo presenta una reflexión de tipo filosófico sobre los textos que se encuentran en las obras de Clemente de Alejandría en las que fundamenta su visión sobre el matrimonio. La finalidad, características, dignidad del matrimonio así como las segundas nupcias son algunas de las cuestiones que se tratan en este estudio desde la antropología filosófica.
