Resumen El articulo aborda el problema del desempeno de los egresados de formacion profesional en psicologia bajo la dinamica actual de la educacion superior mexicana basada en competencias; se presenta el caso particular de los egresados de la Universidad Autonoma de Baja California (UABC). Con los resultados del Examen General para el Egreso de la Licenciatura (EGEL) del Centro Nacional para la Evaluacion de la Educacion Superior (Ceneval), se comparan variables academicas y personales de los estudiantes en el campus de la UABC, particularmente debido a que la formacion en psicologia en esta universidad considera dos diferentes planes de estudios entre unidades academicas. Los resultados orientan la comprension de la forma en que las variables personales y academicas tienen baja influencia en los resultados de los estudiantes bajo un estandar nacional y dan la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre otras formas de identificar los factores que se relacionan con los resultados mostrados por los egresados de psicologia. Palabras clave: evaluacion de estudiantes; evaluacion nacional de logro academico; egresados; factores academicos; competitividad. Variables associated with the academic performance of psychology graduates: the case of the UABC The article addresses the problem of the performance of graduate student of psychology under the current dynamics of Mexican higher education based on competencies, the focus of the research is the graduate students of the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC). With the results of the General Examination for the Exit of the Bachelor's Degree (EGEL) of the National Center for the Evaluation of Higher Education (Ceneval), academic and personal variables of the students are compared between UABC campuses, particularly because psychology in this university considers two different curricula between academic units. The results direct the understanding of the way in which personal and academic variables have a low influence on student outcomes under a national standard and give the opportunity to analyze some other ways of identifying the factors that relate to the results shown by the psychology graduates. Keywords: evaluation of students; national assessment of academic achievement; graduates; academic factors; competitiveness.

Variables asociadas con los resultados de desempeño de los egresados de psicología: el caso de la UABC

Introduccion. En los procesos de formacion doctoral de la Escuela Nacional de Salud Publica de Cuba, se establecen convenios con diferentes instituciones nacionales y extranjeras, por eso, se suscribio un Convenio General de Colaboracion academica, cientifica, cultural y de extension universitaria, con en la Universidad Juarez Autonoma de Tabasco en Mexico en el ano 2004. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir el desempeno profesional y cientifico de los graduados en el Programa de Doctorado en Ciencias de la Salud, desarrollado como sede externa en la Universidad Juarez Autonoma de Tabasco en Mexico, durante el periodo 2004-2008. Metodologia. Se resumieron aspectos esenciales del Programa de Doctorado en Ciencias de la Salud y las caracteristicas profesionales de los 13estudiantes matriculados. Se aplico una encuesta de opinion sobre los cursos recibidos y el desempeno profesoral a los 7 estudiantes que obtuvieron el grado y una Guia de preguntas a los 11 profesores responsables de cada modulo del programa. Resultados : de los 7 estudiantes graduados, 4 respondieron la encuesta, asi como 8 de los 11 profesores. Es interesante que los 4 que respondieron la encuesta han mantenido una trayectoria consecuente con la formacion recibida, la cual se considera satisfactoria. Se reconoce la necesidad de elaborar procedimientos o adaptar los existentes, para el seguimiento de egresados de los procesos formativos doctorales en el campo de la salud, lo que permitiria perfeccionar la formacion y sobre todo, asegurar su calidad.

ABSTRACT
 Background The development of depression and anxiety symptoms during long COVID may partly result from the biopsychosocial effects of COVID-19 that impact mental health, rather than from the infection alone. Aim The present study examined the association of anxiety, depression, stress, and psychological distress levels with sociodemographic factors and symptom severity during and three months after the acute phase of COVID-19. Methods This cross-sectional study included 119 participants with a positive SARS-CoV-2 qPCR test. Three months after the acute phase of infection, participants completed an online survey to collect clinical information and sociodemographic data, followed by completion of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress scales. Results During and after infection, fatigue was the most frequently reported symptom. After the acute phase of COVID-19, substantial numbers of participants presented moderate to severe psychological distress (28.5%), severe to extremely severe depression (26.05%), and severe to extremely severe stress (31.09%). Female patients presented higher stress scores than males, while individuals who reported having lost a loved one presented high psychological distress, anxiety, and depression. The presence of physical symptoms after COVID-19 and other factors such as being a woman, being married, having children, or living with someone who suffers from a disease increased vulnerability to depression, stress, and anxiety. Conclusions There are psychological consequences for survivors of COVID-19 associated with sociodemographic factors. Clinical strategies are needed to provide mental health care for individuals with long COVID symptoms.

Stress, anxiety, depression and long COVID symptoms

In this chapter, we discuss general information about the post-COVID-19 condition, also known as long COVID. Since it is still under research, many questions remain unanswered. Nevertheless, post-acute complications due to infections have been previously reported for other viruses. Among those complications that remain are anosmia, fatigue, cardiovascular, and pulmonary. The evidence so far suggests that these complications decrease with time. The most worrying persistent symptoms due to COVID-19 are related to neurological damage. Most post-COVID-19 complications can be treated in a standard way, but their impact on life quality is unknown. Finally, we present a rough landscape of long COVID-19 in Mexico and Latin America. More studies are needed to study this condition and its impact on public health.

Post-COVID-19 Condition and Its Presence in Mexico

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently a worldwide threat and concern, not only because of COVID-19 itself but its sequelae. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a relation between COVID-19, Long COVID, and the prevalence of mental health disorders exist. A total of 203 people from Tabasco were included in this study, answering a survey integrated by three dominions: General and epidemiological data, the DASS-21 test (to determine the presence of signs or symptoms suggestive of depression, anxiety, and/or stress) and an exploratory questionnaire about Long COVID syndrome. A descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was made via Microsoft Excel and Graphpad Prism software, evaluating differences through the Mann–Whitney U test and considering p < 0.05 as statistically significant. Of the 203 people surveyed, 96 (47.29%) had had COVID-19 and 107 (52.71%) had not; from the ones that had COVID-19, 29 (30.21%) presented mental health disorders and 88 (91.66%) presented at least one symptom or sign of Long COVID syndrome; meanwhile, 31 (32.29%) presented 10 or more symptoms or signs. From the comparison between the population with previous mental health disorders and COVID-19 and those without background disorders or COVID-19, the results were the following: 27.58% vs. 16.82% presented severe depression, 48.27% vs. 17.75% presented severe anxiety, and 27.58% vs. 20.56% presented severe stress. A high prevalence of mental health effects was observed in patients without COVID-19 and increased in the population with Long COVID syndrome and previous mental health disorders.

Estudiantes de medicina de una universidad pública en Tabasco: un estudio de egresados

Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience, associated with actual or potential tissue damage. According to its neurobiological mechanism, pain is classified into nociceptive, inflammatory, dysfunctional, and neuropathic. Neuropathic pain (NP) is caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Both pregabalin and gabapentin are pharmaceuticals used as validation drugs in experimental models of NP. Pregabalin was shown to produce significant antihyperalgesic and antiallodynic effects. Gabapentin is used as a reference compound for new analgesics and reduces tactile allodynia in rats. The aim of this work is to evaluate pregabalin and gabapentin effects on nociceptive behaviors induced by spinal nerve ligation (SNL). Female Wistar rats of 140 - 160 g were used, divided into five groups: Naive, SHAM, SNL rats treated with saline solution, SNL rats treated with pregabalin 30 mg/kg p.o., SNL rats treated with gabapentin 300 mg/kg p.o. Nociceptive behaviors were determined by the up and down method. In the establishment of SNL-induced allodynic behavior, a reduction in paw withdrawal threshold was observed in the time course, which was present from day 1 and it was maintained for 28 days post-ligation. With the administration of pregabalin and gabapentin, anti-allodynic behavior was observed in the time course and in the areas under the curve (AUC) of the time course of anti-allodynic behavior, significant difference was observed between pregabalin, and gabapentin groups compared to vehicle with a value of p < 0.0001. The results showed pregabalin and gabapentin induce an antinociceptive effect in rats subjected to SNL. 

Effect of Pregabalin and Gabapentin on Nociceptive Behaviors Induced by Spinal Nerve Ligation

espanolLa anestesia regional ha demostrado grandes beneficios asociados al uso combinado de dexmedetomidina y bupivacaina, por lo que cuantificar el efecto analgesico de bupivacaina vs. bupivacaina mas dexmedetomidina intratecal en el control del dolor posquirurgico se realizo a traves de un ensayo clinico controlado. A muestra de 60 sujetos divididos aleatoriamente; Grupo b: recibieron bupivacaina a 0.5% en una dosis de 0.2mg/kg via intratecal con 0.5 ml de solucion fisiologica y Grupo d: recibieron bupivacaina a 0.5% en una dosis de 0.2 mg/ kg via intratecal con 5 μg de dexmedetomidina en 0.5 ml de solucion fisiologica. Derivado de la aleatorizacion y examen de los sujetos se obtuvo que el inicio del bloqueo aparecio en el grupo con dexmedetomidina (8.5 ± 1.0 min) con respecto a bupivacaina (9.9 ± 1.8 min) (p= 0.0006) y se observo mayor duracion de analgesia posoperatoria con un valor p de 0.0230, lo que lleva a concluir que el uso de dexmedetomidina proporciona beneficios en el control del dolor posquirurgico. EnglishRegional anesthesia has shown great benefits associated with the combined use of dexmedetomidine and bupivacaine. Therefore, quantifying the analgesic effect of bupivacaine versus bupivacaine plus intrathecal dexmedetomidine in the control of postoperative pain was performed through a controlled clinical trial. In a sample of 60 randomly divided subjects; Group b: received 0.5% bupivacaine at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg intrathecally with 0.5 ml of physiological solution and Group d: received 0.5% bupivacaine at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg via intrathecal administration with 5 μg of dexmedetomidine in 0.5 ml of saline solution. From the randomization and evaluation of subjects, it was found that the onset of blockade ocurred in the group with dexmedetomidine (8.5 ± 1.0 minutes) compared to bupivacaine (9.9 ± 1.8 min) (p= 0.0006) and a longer duration of postoperative analgesia with a p-value of 0.0230, that leads us to conclude that the use of dexmedetomidine provides benefits in the control of postoperative pain.
