ABSTRACT
Con frecuencia cuando se habla de Florence Nightingale, se piensa en la visión romántica de su imagen en unescenario de guerra cuidando de los heridos y se asume su significado para la enfermería de todos los tiempos alestablecer medidas generales de lo que debe ser esta disciplina. Hoy por hoy sus textos son, o deberían ser, un referenteobligado y tan actual que resulta difícil pensar en iniciar una reflexión de la práctica de enfermería sin considerarsu obra. De este modo y en el intento de mostrar que sus escritos son tan vigentes como ayer, los autoreshacen una reflexión del tema de la salud mental desde la obra Notas de enfermería. Qué es y qué no es, escritoque después de más de un siglo, nos permite descubrir derroteros a seguir dentro de la enfermería hoy llamadacontemporánea. Es entonces el presente escrito un acercamiento a los cánones que plantea Nightingale sobre lasalud mental, aspecto de relevancia mundial.
When referring to Florence Nightingale, people frequently picture a romantic vision of her taking care of thewounded in a war scene, and this is taken in nursing of all times as generally established measures that this discipleshould represent. Nowadays, her writings are and should be an essential reference without which it woulddifficult to start a reflection on nursing practices. Likewise, in an attempt to show that her writings are as up-todateas they were before, the authors reflect on the topic of mental health in the piece Notes on Nursing: What itis and what it is not. After more than one century, this work, allows us to discover the course to follow in what isnow referred to as contemporary nursing. This writing indeed constitutes an approach to the standards proposedby Nightingale about mental health, which is of world relevance.

Por su inserción comunitaria los equipos de salud familiar(ESF) ocupan un lugar clave para trabajar conjuntamente con las escuelas en la promoción de la salud y prevención de la enfermedad. El objetivo general de este trabajo es conocer el lugar del equipo de salud familiar en una comunidad educativa de barrio José Ignacio Días de la ciudad de Córdoba. Lametodología consistió en un diagnostico institucional parala construcción de hipótesis diagnostica. Se utilizaron técnicas formales e informales y por saturación. Las principales conclusiones dan cuenta de la tarea de los equipos de salud familiar (ESF) es fortalecer a las instituciones,pero como paso previo es necesario que la comunidad reconozca a los profesionales que desarrollan tares de promoción, prevención y asistencia comunitaria. Nuestra tarea será el de aportar elementos para que la propiainstitución se transforme en el verdadero referente del barrio.

Background: Pregnancy is a physiological hypercoagulable state with an increased incidence of thromboembolic phenomena. There is an increase in the concentrations of most clotting factors, a decrease in concentration of some of the natural anticoagulants and reduced fibrinolytic activity. Changes in PS levels have also been reported. Aim: To establish referral range values of functional PS and free PS antigen, during the second (2nd T) and third trimester (3rd T) of normal gestation. Patients and methods: Forty one normal pregnant women were included in our study, 20 during the 2nd T (22-24 weeks) and 21 during the 3rd T (29-38 weeks). Functional PS was measured by a clot based test and free PS antigen by ELISA. Results: Free PS Antigen was 65.8±18.3% during the 2nd T and 62.3±16.5% during the 3rd T. The figures for normal controls were 106±6.5%. Functional PS was 43.8±13.3 and 25.9±14.6% during the 2nd T and 3rd T, respectively. The figures for normal controls were 97±24% (p <0.001 compared with pregnant women). Free PS antigen did not change from the 2nd to the 3rd T (p=NS), however functional PS fell significantly from the 2nd to the 3rd T (p <0.001) and was significantly lower than free PS antigen in both trimesters (p <0.001). Conclusions: Pregnancy is associated to a decrease in PS. This abnormality is more pronounced for functional PS than free PS antigen and functional PS falls progressively during pregnancy. These assays should not be used to screen for PS deficiency during pregnancy because they could lead to a misdiagnosis.
