A las puertas de recuperar la democracia en los años 1970, los servicios de salud pública en nuestro paı́s estaban en una situación deplorable. Tras perder a sus lı́deres con la guerra, muchos forzados al exilio, se encontraron en una posición marginal, con estructuras anquilosadas, con profesionales reclutados sin formación y casi siempre estructuralmente pluriempleados. Pese a algunas personali...

OBJECTIVES The study objective was to identify the factors that influence the length of stay (LOS) in hospital for stroke patients and to provide data for managing hospital costs by managing the LOS. METHODS This study used data from the Discharge Injury Survey of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which included 17,364 cases from 2005 to 2008. RESULT The LOS for stroke, ...

Objetivo: Analizar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Elección de Alimentos (FCQ) en población española, su estructura factorial y consistencia interna, además de las relaciones entre el FCQ y el Cuestionario de Salud General (GHQ), la Escala de Creencias Irracionales sobre los Alimentos (IFBS) y el Inventario de Trastornos Alimentarios-3 (EDI-3), con el fin de explorar la valide...

Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) 3F11 and 06B4 recognize epitopes that are conserved on gonococcal lipooligosaccharides (LOS), present on some meningococcal LOS, and conserved on human erythrocytes. LOS of some group B and C prototype meningococcal LOS strains (LOS serotypes L1 to L8) treated with neuraminidase showed increased expression of the 3F11 and 06B4 MAb-defined epitopes. Neuraminidase-trea...

This paper focuses on an intelligent Web-based tutorial system composed of reusable learning objects (LOs). Reusable LOs lay down the foundation for a large scale collaboration among educational organizations. LOs developed at different organizations can be used by other organizations thus providing high quality courses to all students. Expert instructors at each organization maintain a reposit...

Web development is promoting important advantages for educational area specially e-learning systems. learning objects (LOs) aim to reuse specific information though different context and platforms. However, an important issue to define is to guarantee the LOs quality content. To evaluate LOs in a first place we propose our own LOs definition. According to this, we suggest to relate LOs metadata...

We isolated serologically identical (by serovar determination and porin variable region [VR] typing) strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from an infected male and two of his monogamous female sex partners. One strain (termed 398078) expressed the L1 (Galalpha1 --> 4 [corrected] Galbeta1 --> 4Glcbeta1 --> 4HepI) lipooligosaccharide (LOS) structure exclusively; the other (termed 398079) expressed th...
