Introduction Faced with the global health emergency, a product of Covid-19, the educational system was forced to change its dynamics, assuming new challenges and adapting to virtual environments (Sierra, López, Azar & Trevethan, 2020). In this sense, the teaching task from home supposes an increase in the hours dedicated to their work, since they have seen the need to be trained in digital platforms to be able to respond to the changes derived from confinement; which can quietly generate professional wear and tear.ObjectivesAnalyze the relationship between professional burnout and increased workload on teachersMethodsA cross-sectional study of correlational scope was carried out in 60 (n = 60) teachers, working actively at a higher education institution. A sociodemographic scale was designed to identify the hours dedicated to work before and during confinement and to evaluate professional burnout, the adaptation of the MBI instrument for the Colombian population was used (Barbato, Córdoba, González, Martínez & Tamayo, 2011)ResultsA 50% increase in the workload of teachers was observed during confinement, besides, a statistically significant correlation between professional burnout and the increase in hours dedicated to work (Table 1)ConclusionsIt was possible to conclude that the significant increase in the workload in teachers correlates positively with levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization; however, no correlations were observed between workload and personal achievement of higher education teachers.
IntroductionSexting is sending / forwarding erotic-sexual content voluntarily through technological devices and / or the internet. (Fleschler-Peskin, 2013). Real Participation (RPS), Active Disposition (ADS) and Emotional Expression (EES) was studied.ObjectivesCompare sexting in two groups of participants: female and maleMethodsComparison of data means measured by the Cronbach alpha sexting behavior scale α = 0.92, (Chacon-Lopez, et al, 2016). Sample N = 900 (447 female and 453 male)ResultsThe ADS and RPS decrease between 18 to 20 years old and increase between 20 to 22 years old. EES decreases when increasing age, except in 20 years old. Applying multiple regression analysis, control variable sex and reference group age 18 old, presents statistically significant difference, excepting 19 years old in EES and 22 years old in RPS. (Figure 1)Comparing age and gender, ADS men present higher levels than women, excepting 19 years old. EES and RP, no significant differences are observed. Comparing women’s mean show lower AD levels than men with Cohen’s effect size d = 0.62, (Cohen, 1988). Related to PRS averages, women present lower levels than men without statistically significant differences. Comparing means, women show lower ADS levels than men effecting d Cohen d = 0.46, (Cohen, 1988). (Figure 2)ConclusionsEvidence difference between men and women, in ADS and EES, without pattern associated with age, young men and women sexting
The halo sign in computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest consists of ground-glass opacity around pulmonary lesions. It has been linked to a wide variety of pathological processes #1.CASE PRESENTATION: Male, 66 years old, admitted for hyperglycemia; he had no respiratory symptoms. At physical examination he presented with jaundice, choluria and acholia. The laparoscopic pancreatic biopsy confirmed the presence of pancreatic cancer. Chest-abdomen-pelvis CT scan were performed for staging, and identified numerous bilateral pulmonary nodules, infracentrimetic, with a circular area of ground-glass attenuation (halo sign), being hypothesized invasive pulmonar aspergillosis or metastatic lesions with associated bleeding, the last one being less likely because the primary lesion had hypovascular behavior. He was subsequently submitted to bronchofibroscopy, whose cytology of the bronchoalveolar lavage was negative for neoplastic cells, identifying the existence of fungal hyphae; the mycological examination was negative. The galactomannan survey was also negative. He repeated bronchofibroscopy in an attempt to identify the fungus, however, the result was also negative. It was decided to perform a transthoracic lung biopsy, which confirmed the presence of metastases. The patient died a few weeks later, due to systemic progression of the neoplasm. DISCUSSION:The halo sign was initially believed to be a specific sign of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, but it has already been associated with multiple other pathologies, such as, inflammation, infection or cancer #2. CONCLUSIONS:In this case, it is highlighted the difficulty in establishing a definitive diagnosis and the importance of placing multiple hypotheses of diagnosis in the presence of some characteristic radiological signs, such as the halo sign, very suggestive of invasive pulmonary fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, but not specific.
IntroductionThe armed conflict in Colombia manifests and lasts as barbarism in the contemporary world (Zuleta, 2006). Against this background, it is possible to identify among the victims the prevalence of pathologies associated with traumatic events such as forced displacement (Andrade, 2008). Studies indicate a harmony between resentment and other psychosocial effects (Arcos, Muñoz, Uribe, Villamil, Ramos, 2018).ObjectivesThe results of the study are presented, which has aimed to analyze the relationship between resentment and forgiveness with victims of forced displacement in three cities of Colombian.MethodsA correlational study has been carried out with a sample of 40 (n = 40) subjects of which 52.5% are men and 47.5% women, the mean age is 57.52 (σ = 13.591), all with a history of forced displacement; to the data collection has been used the CAPER instrument of Rosales, Rivera and Garcia (2017) (α = .592).ResultsThere is evidence of a positive bilateral correlation between the variables studied (r = .000; p = .681), the greater the personal restoration, the greater the feeling of guilt.ConclusionsIt is important that the intervention processes designed for the victims of forced displacement focused on forgiveness include in their content elements associated with resentment.
INTRODUCTION:Although the liver is one of the most frequent targets of metastasis from primary malignant tumors, cystic liver metastases from lung cancer are extremely rare.CASE PRESENTATION: 42-year-old female, non-smoker, admitted in the emergency room with abdominal pain, nausea and jaundice. She had no respiratory symptoms. An abdominal ultrasound (US) revealed the presence of a dysmorphic liver, with the hepatic parenchyma practically replaced by multiple and coalescent lesions with apparently liquid content. An abdominal US performed 6 months earlier was innocent, with no evidence of any cystic liver lesion. For a better characterization of the findings, the patient underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen showing multiple massive rounded liver lesions, the largest in the right lobe measuring 9x6 cm and the left lobe 7.5x4.5 cm, mostly of cystic nature, and with intense peripheral enhancement after contrast administration. In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the diffusion behavior after administration of contrast suggested that the referred lesions had neoplastic tissue, particularly in the cystic walls. A similar spleenic lesion with 17mm was also found. Chest CT revealed a spiculated nodule in the lower lobe of the right lung (17x16mm) and a small bilateral pleural effusion. Positron emission tomography (PET-CT) showed intense liver uptake in the liver (SUV 9.5), lung (SUV 7.2), mediastinal adenopathies (SUV 3.2), as well as multiple osteolytic bone lesions at the level of the spine, costal grid, humerus, femurs, scapula and pelvis. Transthoracic lung biopsy was performed and histological examination was consistent with lung adenocarcinoma; the molecular study was negative. Given the imaging and histological findings, the case was discussed in a multidisciplinary team, who considered a stage IV lung adenocarcinoma. The patient started chemotherapy, with a size reduction of the described hepatic and splenic lesions.DISCUSSION: This case reflects an atypical manifestation of lung adenocarcinoma in the form of jaundice, as a consequence of liver cystic metastases. Cystic liver lesions are rare and represent a complex differential diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS:It is important to raise awareness for the possible neoplastic origin of hepatic cystic lesions, in order to obtain a diagnosis as soon as possible and be able to offer the patient the best available treatment.
