TL;DR: The representación social de los estudiantes gira en torno a temas incluidos en el Proyecto Pedagogico, al tiempo de la practica el cual se considera muy corto, mayor profundizacion en temas relacionados con ventilacion mecanica for su aplicacion in the practica.
Abstract: Objetivo: describir las representaciones sociales de estudiantes de terapia respiratoria de la Fundacion Universitaria del Area Andina, sobre la practica clinica de cuidado intensivo. Metodos: investigacion cualitativa a la luz de las representaciones sociales, los sujetos participantes estudiantes de terapia respiratoria de VI semestre a quienes se les aplico dos entrevistas semiestructuradas, se realizo analisis de contenido. Resultados : la representacion social de los estudiantes gira en torno a temas incluidos en el Proyecto Pedagogico, al tiempo de la practica el cual se considera muy corto, mayor profundizacion en temas relacionados con ventilacion mecanica para su aplicacion en la practica. Conclusiones: los ejes tematicos estudiados en la practica de cuidado intensivo son acordes a lo propuesto en los contenidos programaticos y la legislacion. No obstante, se considera que el tiempo de la practica es muy corto

TL;DR: A fuzzy inference system for evaluating the service quality performance of service contract providers and produced a service cost/acquisition cost (SC/AC) ratio reduction and an increase in availability in the period of December 2001 to January 2003.
Abstract: This paper puts forward a fuzzy inference system for evaluating the service quality performance of service contract providers. An application service provider (ASP) model for computerized maintenance management was used in establishing common performance indicators of the quality of service. This model was implemented in 10 separate hospitals. As a result, inference produced a service cost/acquisition cost (SC/AC) ratio reduction from 16.14% to 6.09%, an increase of 20.9% in availability, with a maintained repair quality (NRR) in the period of December 2001 to January 2003.

TL;DR: According to the results of the present study, physiotherapy would be the most effective treatment for cervical pain.
Abstract: espanolIntroduccion: El dolor de cuello es una de las patologias musculoesqueleticas mas prevalentes. Sin embargo, no hay evidencia de la efectividad del vendaje neuromuscular frente a la fisioterapia o de su terapia combinada. Objetivos: Analizar: los efectos del vendaje comparados con los de un programa de fisioterapia; y los beneficios adicionales que podrian obtenerse si estas dos terapias se combinaran en el tratamiento del dolor de cuello. Metodologia: Se seleccionaron un total de 60 pacientes diagnosticados con dolor cervical y se utilizo un diseno ciego simple cuasi- experimental, pre-post-paralelo, de cuatro brazos: fisioterapia exclusiva; vendaje exclusivo; Fisioterapia mas vendaje, fisioterapia mas vendaje. Los efectos se estimaron, utilizando modelos de efectos fijos, para el dolor en reposo, a la palpacion y en movimiento. Resultados: El mayor cambio intra-individual se encontro con fisioterapia (β = -1.81; IC95%: -2.69 a -0.93), seguido de fisioterapia mas vendaje (β = -1.57; IC95%: -2.32 a -0.83) y luego vendaje mas fisioterapia (β = -1.29; IC95%: -1.98 a -0.60). Sin embargo, el vendaje exclusivo logro una reduccion marginalmente significativa (β = -0.50; IC95%: -1.11 a 0.10). Con respecto al dolor de palpacion, solo se observo una reduccion estadisticamente significativa para fisioterapia (β = -0.84; IC95%: -1.56 a -0.11) y fisioterapia mas vendaje (β = -0.52; IC95%: -1.09 a 0.04). Finalmente, en relacion al dolor de movimiento, se observo una reduccion estadisticamente significativa para fisioterapia (β = -1.28; IC95%: -2.02 a -0.55) y se observaron reducciones muy similares para fisioterapia mas vendaje y vendaje mas fisioterapia. Conclusion: Segun los resultados del presente estudio, la fisioterapia seria el tratamiento mas efectivo para el dolor cervical. EnglishIntroduction: Neck pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal pathologies. There is, however, no evidence of the effectiveness of neuromuscular taping versus physiotherapy, or of their combined therapy. Objectives: To analyze: the effects of taping compared with those of a physiotherapy program; and the additional benefits that could be obtained if these two therapies were combined in the management of neck pain. Methodology: A total of 60 patients diagnosed with cervical pain were selected and a quasi-experimental pre-post parallel, four-arm simple blind design was utilized: physiotherapy alone; taping alone; physiotherapy plus taping; and taping plus physiotherapy. The effects were estimated, using fixed effects models, for pain at rest, on palpation and in movement. Results: The greatest intra-individual change was found with physiotherapy (β=−1.81; CI95%: −2.69 to −0.93), followed by the physiotherapy plus taping (β=−1.57; CI95%: −2.32 to −0.83), then taping plus physiotherapy (β=−1.29; CI95%: −1.98 to −0.60). Taping alone, however, achieved only a marginally significant reduction (β=−0.50; CI95%: −1.11 to 0.10). Regarding palpation pain, a statistically significant reduction was only observed for physiotherapy (β=−0.84; CI95%: −1.56 to −0.11) and physiotherapy plus taping (β=−0.52; CI95%: −1.09 to 0.04). Finally, for movement pain, a statistically significant reduction for physiotherapy was observed (β=−1.28; CI95%: −2.02 to −0.55) and very similar reductions were observed for physiotherapy plus taping and taping plus physiotherapy. Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, physiotherapy would be the most effective treatment for cervical pain.
