Factors related to the development of health-promoting community activities in Spanish primary healthcare: two casecontrol studies.

Objective: Spanish primary healthcare teams have the responsibility of performing health-promoting community activities (CAs), although such activities are not widespread. Our aim was to identify the factors related to participation in those activities.

Design: Two casecontrol studies.

Development of a Telemetric System for Postoperative Follow-up of Vascular Surgery Procedures: In Vitro Model.

Background: Because of the unique electromagnetic characteristics of the magnetoelastic microwire, the changes in the pressure of a fluid will provoke a variation of the mechanical pressure on the sensor, which will cause a variation of its magnetization that will be detectable wirelessly. Thus, a wireless system can be developed for following up vascular surgery procedures.

Methods And Results: The sensor consists of a magnetoelastic microwire ring, which was integrated into an in vitro model with pulsatile flow.

Observational study on factors related to health-promoting community activity development in primary care (frAC Project): a study protocol.

Introduction: According to Spanish health regulations, primary care professionals have the responsibility to carry out health-promoting community activities (CAs). However, in practice, their implementation is not as widespread as it should be. The aims of this study were to identify factors within the team, the community and the professionals that influence the development of these activities and to describe the community interventions in progress.
