Spirituality in Managing Perceived Stress and Promoting Self-Care: A Descriptive Study on Nursing Students in Spain.

The relationship between spirituality, perceived stress, and self-care was examined in a sample of 515 nursing students in Spain. Using the perceived stress scale (PSS), the professional self-care scale (PSCS), and the spirituality questionnaire (MiLS-sp/sf), the findings indicated that higher spirituality, particularly through inner peace and faith, was linked to reduced stress and enhanced self-care across physical, inner, and social dimensions. However, the inner self-care dimension was the least developed, suggesting that essential emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs were neglected.

Expression, regulation and physiological roles of the five Rsm proteins in Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000.

Proteins belonging to the RsmA (regulator of secondary metabolism)/CsrA (carbon storage regulator) family are small RNA-binding proteins that play crucial roles post-transcriptionally regulating gene expression in many Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. Although most of the bacteria studied have a single RsmA/CsrA gene, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pto) DC3000 encodes five Rsm proteins: RsmA/CsrA2, RsmC/CsrA1, RsmD/CsrA4, RsmE/CsrA3, and RsmH/CsrA5.

Using LEGO® Serious Play for students' Critical-Reflective Reasoning development in the construction of the nursing metaparadigm.

Introduction: In a nursing degree critical reasoning competency includes reasoning both inside and outside the clinical setting. One of the major challenges for nursing students is learning concepts at a high abstract level. In this sense, the LEGO® Serious Play method has the potential to improve thinking skills.

The biological relevance of the FspTF transcription factor, homologous of Bqt4, in sp. associated with the ambrosia beetle .

Transcription factors in phytopathogenic fungi are key players due to their gene expression regulation leading to fungal growth and pathogenicity. The KilA-N family encompasses transcription factors unique to fungi, and the Bqt4 subfamily is included in it and is poorly understood in filamentous fungi. In this study, we evaluated the role in growth and pathogenesis of the homologous of Bqt4, FspTF, in sp.

FleQ, FleN and c-di-GMP coordinately regulate cellulose production in pv. tomato DC3000.

The second messenger cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) controls the transition between motility and sessility in many bacterial species by a variety of mechanisms, including the production of multiple exopolysaccharides. pv. tomato (Pto) DC3000 is a plant pathogenic bacteria able to synthesize acetylated cellulose under high c-di-GMP levels thanks to the expression of the operon.

Multiphasic value biases in fast-paced decisions.

Perceptual decisions are biased toward higher-value options when overall gains can be improved. When stimuli demand immediate reactions, the neurophysiological decision process dynamically evolves through distinct phases of growing anticipation, detection, and discrimination, but how value biases are exerted through these phases remains unknown. Here, by parsing motor preparation dynamics in human electrophysiology, we uncovered a multiphasic pattern of countervailing biases operating in speeded decisions.

Prevalence and clinical-epidemiologic characteristics of a Mexican population with metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease: An open population study.

Introduction And Aims: The risk factors for fatty liver disease are frequent in the Mexican population and the available studies appear to underestimate its prevalence. Our aims were to know the prevalence of metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in an open population and determine the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics, nutritional status, physical activity level, and prevalence of metabolic syndrome, in the affected population.

Materials And Methods: Volunteers from the general public were invited to take part in the study.

Incidence of congenital and postnatal cytomegalovirus infection during the first year of life in Mexican preterm infants.

Cytomegalovirus infection occurs commonly during infancy. Postnatal infection in term infants is usually asymptomatic; however, infection in preterm infants can be associated with clinical manifestations during the neonatal period. Nevertheless, few studies to assess the frequency of cytomegalovirus infection in preterm infants have been performed outside of high-income countries.

Seroprevalence and risk factors for Leptospira spp. in small ruminants of semi-arid zone in northeastern Colombia.

Leptospirosis in small ruminants is an economically important disease that causes important losses by pathologies of the reproductive tract. The present study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with Leptospira spp. in small ruminants under traditional husbandry systems.

Anxiety, Health Self-Perception, and Worry About the Resurgence of COVID-19 Predict Fear Reactions Among Genders in the Cuban Population.

The resurgence of COVID-19 could deepen the psychological impacts of the pandemic which poses new challenges for mental health professionals. Among the actions that should be prioritized is the monitoring of the groups that have shown greater psychological vulnerability during the first stage of the pandemic. The first aim of our study is to explore the fear reactions to COVID-19 between genders during the second wave of the outbreak in Cuba.

Body composition and phase angle by bioimpedance in patients with MAFLD.

Objective: To describe the characteristics of the body components and phase angle (PhA) of patients with MAFLD according to those different to fibrosis and hepatic steatosis.

Material And Methods: Observational and descriptive study in a cohort of 585 volunteers from our center with MAFLD criteria. The risk of liver fibrosis was determined by APRI, NAFLD score and FIB-4; at an indeterminate and high risk of fibrosis, a transient elastography (Fibroscan®) were realized.

Subjective Well-being during the Pandemic: A Pilot Study in the Cuban Population.

Background: The study of aspects related to positive mental health and well-being in the general population with a gender approach is a necessity in the current context imposed by COVID-19.

Objective: To explore gender as a predictor of subjective well-being during COVID-19 in a sample of the Cuban population.

Design: A cross-sectional web-based survey design was adopted.

Cattle seroprevalence and risk factors associated with bovine viral diarrhea in the northeastern of Colombia.

Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is one of the most common and economically significant viral infections in cattle. Different risk factors have been associated with viral exposure and transmission, generating endemic regions with different biotype circulations. To find the BVD status in the northeastern region of Colombia, this study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with the disease in non-vaccinated farms.

in small ruminants in northeastern areas of Colombia: Seroprevalence and risk factors.

Sheep and goats are susceptible to infections with and could play an important role in the transmission of the zoonotic parasite to human. We conducted a cross sectional study to estimate the seroprevalence and to assess the risk factors for seropositivity in small ruminants under traditional husbandry systems. This study was carried out from November 2015 to April 2016 in randomly selected small ruminants ( = 1038) from 48 farms located in Colombia, in the departments of northern Cesar in the north and La Guajira in the south.

Respiratory syncytial virus acute respiratory infection-associated hospitalizations in preterm Mexican infants: A cohort study.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of severe acute respiratory infections (ARI) in preterm infants. The incidence of RSV-associated hospitalizations has not been defined in Mexico.

Objectives: To determine the incidence of ARI- and RSV-associated hospitalizations in preterm infants during the first year of life.

Catalytic Asymmetric Fluorination of Copper Carbene Complexes: Preparative Advances and a Mechanistic Rationale.

The Cu-catalyzed reaction of substituted α-diazoesters with fluoride gives α-fluoroesters with ee values of up to 95 %, provided that chiral indane-derived bis(oxazoline) ligands are used that carry bulky benzyl substituents at the bridge and moderately bulky isopropyl groups on their core. The apparently homogeneous solution of CsF in C F /hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is the best reaction medium, but CsF in the biphasic mixture CH Cl /HFIP also provides good results. DFT studies suggest that fluoride initially attacks the Cu- rather than the C-atom of the transient donor/acceptor carbene intermediate.

Effect of a surveillance system for decreasing neonatal nosocomial infections.

Background: Nosocomial infection in very low birthweight (VLBW) infants is a common complication with high morbimortality. New strategies to reduce its occurrence have recently led to the development of neonatal surveillance programs.

Aims: To determine whether the NeoKissEs surveillance system implementation in our neonatal unit has been associated with a decrease in nosocomial infection in VLBW infants, as well as a reduction in the use of antibiotics and central venous catheters (CVC).

Involuntary movements of pelvic stump.

Although involuntary movements of stumps are less frequent than phantom sensation or other neurological sequelae of limb amputation, they represent a phenomenon that has been known for many years. The pathophysiology remains unknown, but it seems to be related to damage to the peripheral nervous system. Treatment is not standardized, but antimyoclonic drugs seem to be useful.
