Wuju! FREE POST =)

This is a good time to post about something I like, one of them is a time that is approaching: the summer

Summer is a season that begins Dec. 21 and ends on March 21, and this is one of the stations that I love.
This season is when the sun heats up with her light, and days are longer and nights are shorter, the air is hot and dry and it invites us outdoors and outdoor activities such as swimming, walking biking, hiking, etc.. Particularly swimming is one of the sports that I love, and that at this time serves to cool and get a good workout of the body, which is far more complete sport.
Among the things I like and I can do is to wear comfortable things, such as shorts, bathing suit, shirt, hat, shoes, shawls, etc.
It is also during this time that I feel more energy and feel more cheerful and talkative, I laugh and I feel more open to share with the environment.
Do not forget that at this time is when you lose more body fluid, and it can be retrieved with fruits displayed at this time, besides being rich in water, flavor and colors, and help them stay healthy. Among the fruits that can be enjoyed in this period are: melons, watermelons, bananas, apples, strawberries, pears, plums, nectarines, cherries, etc.

I hope that you read all and it like you.

PD: thanks Miss Trajtemberg for all, You are a very good teacher and person.

The differents uses of the technology in the university subjects

Every year the faculty comes to change, the academics, the structure, the books, etc, and with this, the use of technology and this integration in the faculty.
In the coming, the faculty didn’t have computers, internet, virtual books, the use of power point, etc; this only used traditional form for give the information.
The main benefits with this advance are the students that today can use this for to have better connection between their and all the faculty.

This year, the students had better communication with the academics, because now there is a virtual platform that has different tools: forum, upload class and papers, calendar, expose the notes, etc. This allows, for example, that the academics give the information of the week and the all programs in the year, upload the class for all the students, give private and public information, etc. This is very useful to develop a subject, because teachers can guide the virtual platform according to requirements that they have. Also the students can give their opinion about the subjects or the academics.

One example that the technology is very fun and useful to learn is the MIIM (Modulo Integrado Interdisciplinario y Multiprofesional). MIIM is a subject created this year with the object of analyzing fictional/real clinic case. The dynamic of this subject is: there are different virtual persons (this could the real people or a people impersonating this): the patient (the patient or a family of this), the different health professional (physical therapy, midwife, etc). The students are organized in groups for to approve the case. The idea is recreate a real case, and the group has the role of analyzing the case, give information to the patient, resolve the case while this evolves, etc. The students have different tools for doing this, for example: forum, a blog (only for communicate between patient or other health professional), upload papers, etc

Finally, the advanced method allows that the students access information didactically, have more tools and possibility of connection and knowledge, create a channel between the course and the teachers and between students, obtain information between different careers in the faculty, have better and updated information, etc. This opens the door to a “big world” that people are knowing and maybe in some years more, this will return to change.

The Brain myths

Dear all, a few days ago the Dr. Pedro Maldonado was to talk about "myths and truth on the brain”, with this information I made the next blog.

The brain is the control center of the body. Controls thought, memory, speech and movement. It regulates the function of many organs, so it is one of the most important organs. Although these things are known, the brain remains a mystery to modern science. There are still many unknowns:the origin of consciousness, how memories are stored, the power of the subconscious, the connection between mind and body are some of the mysteries that we still need to discover completely.

However, there are some facts we do know about him and his brain works, and with this we can break down myths. One of the most struck me was that you cannot learn while you are asleep, until quite some time been selling music tapes on the market which guarantee learn without much effort. As it mechanism, only you need to be asleep and listen these recording, and next you are going to learn how to “osmotic effect”. This sounds fantastic, but really you can do it?

While you sleep, the brain is still functioning, and despite that it performs different functions, it only cares about rest. Although the brain receives various stimuli, such as listening to the recording, do not worry about memorizing them.

I had great faith in this assumption, in fact I occupy it method, in high school, many times to "learn" some things, but I think it just helped me to be convinced that I was memorizing.

That's all, hope you like.

stress...streSS...STRESS...STRESS!!!!!

Dear all, I want to write about the stress: definition, risk, symptoms and preventing of this.

Definition: Stress is a physical and emotional reaction that everyone experiences as he/she encounters changes in life. These reactions can have positive (for example, when it makes us deal constructively with daily problems and meet the challenges) or negative effects (for example when this effects can lead to depression and heart disease).

Risks of stress: Stres stress caqn lead to a variety of serious diseases, for example: high blood pressure (wich can cause heart problems inlcuding heart attacks), migraine headaches, back pain, ulcers, bad habits (relieve it with illicit drugs, smoking or alcoho) and ,other big problem, weak immune system.

Symptoms: under stress, a people may experience: headaches, heartburn, insomnia, tense muscles, shaky hands, fatigue, etc. besides It may also feel: nervous, fearful, confused, confused, worried, irritable, unable to concentrate, etc. This symptons interfere the normal life, for example poor job/study perfomance, unhappy life,unhappy marriage, unstable or lost job, poor relationship with the family members, couples or coworkers, accumulating debt, etc.

Preventing stress: avoid stressors that can to be controllable (for exmple: dont go shopping if it stresses you) , plan major lifestyle changes, realize your limitation (learn how to say "no" to new responsailities that you are not sure can fulfill), prioritize, improve communication, share your thoughts with a spouse, a parent, a child, or a friend, develop a positive attitude, reward yourself (for example with vacation, special treats, etc), exercise every day for at least 30 min (It is the most effective ways of preventing and managing stress), eat and sleep well. Well, It is a short guide about the stress. I hope that you can to read it.

Breast cancer in young women 'increases risk' of disease in relatives

Dear all, I want to write a summary of a article very interesting.

You can enter in this link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/sep/29/breast-cancer-young-women-risk

Well the article describe a studie of a group compose by parents and siblings of 504 womens diagnosed with the Breast cancer before the age of 35 and the scientist could to chek that this person had 1.5-2 fold increased risk of prostate, lung, brain and urinary cancers.

This risk increased when the scientist saw the faulty genes that increase the chance of breast cancer, for example if one of the abnormal genes is BRCA1 and BRCA2, the chance of had this disease is 55% to 85% risk of developing in their lifetime (the risk increased four-fold), being higher in siblings that in parents ,for example in mothers.
In contrast, women that dont have this abnormal genes, only account for between 2% and 5% of all breast cancers.

Is important to consider this study because suggesting a strategy to help identify other genes which significantly increase a woman's breast cancer risk, but this require new study for determine and confirm this risk and other genes.
Furthermore, previous studies have suggested the relation between the increased risk of other cancers and women with breast cancer, but the links have been weak and inconsistent.

Finally, Of the 504 women in the study, 41 had a BRCA mutation with a total of 2.200 parents and siblings were involved.

- Well, I have chosen this article beacuse It has a direct relation with my carrer, and I actually did not know what genes in particular are responsible of breast cancer and If its have relation with the developed of other cancers. With this information I can help of better way the women with this disease and prevent this in other women from young.

Thanks,

"Please, I want to live". Im sorry, you dont have money

Dear all, today my post is about the film: SICKO

Sicko is a movie that shows the health system in different countries, including stories of different people.

Personally, this movie I liked a lot because it allowed me to meet other health systems around the world, how they work, generating repercussions on the population, changes in the lives of different people, etc.
It is impressive to see two people from different countries, which share the same disease can have such different outcomes in health care, as the latter varies in the country in which it is located, for example, in the U.S. we can see that to receive attention, you must pay a large sum of money only for covers a few things. Also, if you go for any type of emergency, first they observe if you can or not pay this.

In contrast, in countries like France, Canada, England, you only have that to go to the health center and you will be served immediately without distinction to anyone. This system is funded for each person by taxes, which guarantees free health care (public health system). This dynamic does not mean that the service is bad, on the contrary, the users report that is high quality and fast.

In Chile is trying to achieve this system, and with this purpose was created the AUGE, which until now could not work perfectly, because it requires changes like give more money to this for upgrade the standard, the quality, the coverage, etc.

Well, this is my opinion.

Are you sure that you are aborting?

Dear all, In this oportunity the blog is about Dr. Valenzuela talk: the postovulatory effects of levornorgestrel in emergency contraception, and what do i think of this.


First, Why is this topic so controversial?, This topic, the use of drugs with the object the contraception, is the BIG problem, because this concept have direct relation with the abortion, and it is a topic in discussion yet, Why?, because the investigators have concept different about abortion, for example, the biologists say that the life begin when is formed the zigoto, and if you provokes the dead of this from here, you are provoking abortion.

Dr. Valenzuela's view point about the use levonorgestrel is that provoke contraception preventing the conception, through different mechanisms: It prevents ovulation (anovulatory effect), preventing the union of egg and sperm, preventing that these from joining the egg (contraceptive effect) and, in discuss yet, alters the internal walls of the uterus (the endometrium) preventing the implantation embryo in the uterus.

Is important to consider that the levornorgestrel is a drug that when you use in emergency contraceptive, while earlier you take it after the intercourse, the greater the possibility that pregnancy does not happen.

Now, with this information and drugs we could prevent the unwanted pregnancy or a pregnancy that generates product of rape, although it is a sensitive issue because it is difficult to address them, is good to consider that there are methods to avoid and prevent, especially in rape.

This is the blog and I hope you like.
