ABSTRACT
Propósito/Contexto. La interrupción del embarazo es uno de los grandes capítulos de la Bioética y el cine permite estudiarlo a partir de historias singulares. En el contexto de la reciente ley argentina y el proyecto de modificación de la ley española, este trabajo tiene como propósito examinar y comparar las trayectorias de los abortos representados en las películas Invisible (de Argentina y lanzada en 2017) y La innocencia (de España y lanzada en 2020). Metodología/Enfoque. El enfoque es cualitativo y la metodología utilizada es el análisis de contenido de los filmes, el cual se centra en las trayectorias de los abortos representados y se articulan con los contextos legales argentino y español, vigentes al momento del estreno de los filmes. Resultados/Hallazgos. Los resultados reflejan la complejidad del acceso al aborto, donde lo ilegal aparece como primera opción y se observan las diversas limitaciones de la autonomía de las jóvenes. Discusión/Conclusiones/Contribuciones. La contribución principal del artículo es el cuestionamiento de los aspectos bioéticos ligados con el complejo proceso de toma de decisión del aborto de jóvenes adolescentes a través de historias singulares. Así también la confirmación de la riqueza del formato cinematográfico permite desplegar estos matices singulares para el análisis de situaciones complejas.
Purpose/Context. The interruption of pregnancy is one of the great chapters of bioethics, and cinema allows its study from a singular perspective. In the context of the recent Argentine law and the draft amendment of the Spanish law, this article aims to examine and compare the trajectories of abortions represented in the films Invisible (Argentina, 2017) and La innocència (Spain, 2020). Methodology/ Approach. We sustain a qualitative approach and the methodology used is the content analysis of films, focusing on the trajectories of the abortions represented there and articulating them with the Argentine and Spanish legal context in force at the time of the release of the films. Results/Findings. The results reflect the complexity of access to abortion, where illegality appears to be the first option, and the various limitations of young women's autonomy. Discussion/Conclusions/Contributions. The main contribution of the article is the questioning of bioethical aspects linked to the complexity of the decision-making process of abortion of young adolescents through the analysis of singular stories. In addition, the richness of the cinematographic format is confirmed, as it allows the deployment of these singular nuances for the analysis of complex situations.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Stress has been recognized as serious health problem among nurses. It declines the quality and standard of living with a great deterrence in health of its victims
Objectives: To determine prevalence, severity and various stressors related to nurses everyday life
Methods: Hospital based analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2015 to December 2015 in two tertiary care teaching hospitals of Karachi. The study was carried out on 265 registered nurses, having valid license by Pakistan Nursing Council. The subjects were approached by convenient nonprobability method. After taking written consent, semi-structured and pre-tested occupational stress questionnaire was used to obtain the data about various stressors related directly to nurse's everyday life. Significant level was considered at a p value of 0.05
Results: The study results revealed that majority of studied nurses 160[60.4%] were female and 148 [55.8%] were married. 201[75.8%] had completed the diploma in nursing while 62[23.4%] had graduated their Post RN BSN. Out of total sample, 26 [9.8%] nurses were working as a head nurse while 239 [90%] as staff nurse. The study reveals through the participants' data that everyday life stress falls into three dimensions with their varying percentages as mild stress was found in 25.3%, moderate in 39.6% and severe stress in 35.1% of the participants
Conclusion: The study result concluded that majority of nurses irrespective of their demographic characteristic have moderate or severe everyday life stress which may put negative effects on their both personal and professional responsibilities
ABSTRACT
Age is the most important determinant of outcome for patients with acute coronary syndromes [ACS] and ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death among elderly patients. To determine the epidemiologic particularities, the clinical presentation, and the treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction [AMI] in patients over 65 years. One hundred patients >65 years of age with myocardial infarction were hospitalized in intensive care of cardiologic unit of Military Hospital of Tunis between 2000 and 2008. Clinical characteristics, reperfusion therapy and outcomes of in-hospital period and for one year follow-up were seen for every patient. The mean age of our population was 77 years. Sex-ratio was 3/1.Our population was divided into tow groups; patients aged between 65 and 75 years [48 patients] and those aged more than 75 years [52 patients]. Only 44% of our patients had arrived at the hospital within the first 12 hours. STEMI was found in 65% of our patients. At admission, 40% had congestive heart failure [[3] Killip II], 10% were in cardiogenic shock. Urgent reperfusion therapy was given to 58% of our patients; 33% received a thrombolytic therapy and 25% were allocated to primary PCI. During in-hospital period, 40% have developed congestive heart failure, 20% have had a cardiogenic shock and 12% were died. All these events were more frequent in patients aged over 75 years and reperfusion therapy was associated with best outcome. In our study invasive treatment such as fibrinolysis and PCI was associated to better outcome in acute period and at 12 months of follow up in elderly patients treated for AMI
