Guión de video conferencia para orientaciones metodológicas a los facilitadores de biología celular y molecular / A Program based on video- conferences for methodological orientations to the professors of cell and molecular biology

Con el objetivo de orientar metodológicamente, a través de una video-conferencia, a los facilitadotes que se inician en la enseñanza de la Biología Celular y Molecular, a estudiantes del primer año de Medicina del Proyecto Policlínico Universitario, se confeccionó un guión con los aspectos metodológicos de relevancia para preparar a los facilitadotes. A través de imágenes en Power Point se orientaron aspectos relacionados con la caracterización de la asignatura, su organización desde el punto de vista didáctico en cinco sistemas: sistema de objetivos, de conocimientos, de habilidades, de clases y de evaluación, se dan además las indicaciones generales para el estudio de la asignatura. Se hizo particular énfasis en la estructura metodológica y el papel del facilitador en las diferentes formas organizativas del proceso docente dentro del sistema de clases. Se realizó además un recorrido por los contenidos de los ocho temas de la asignatura, demostrando la importancia de la sistematización de la enseñanza y la forma en que se organizan los contenidos desde un nivel de menor a otro de mayor complejidad. Se concluye que la video conferencia de orientaciones metodológicas representa una herramienta útil para todos aquellos facilitadotes que se inician en la enseñanza de una ciencia biomédica y sobre todo para aquellos que se encuentran distantes y no tienen posibilidades de comunicación personal frecuente con los asesores metodológicos de la sede central.

The Effects of Brief Diet Education in Office on Body Weight and Blood Pressure in Olders

BACKGROUND: It is one of the important strategies to maintain a appropriate body weight and blood pressure by diet and exercise for the elderly. But there is some difficulties to perform the specific diet therapy continuously at the primary medical environment. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the brief diet education by physician on body weight and blood pressure for the elderly at the out patient clinic. METHOD: A retrospective design reviewing medical record with elderly(60 and over 60 years) men and women(N=110) from who had complete medical record when they visited first and revisited. 70 samples(education group) attended at the diet education with physician, 40 samples were non education group. For education group, we performed general diet principal, and investigated the change of body weight, diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure at the first visit, one month, and three month. RESULT: there was significant difference on the both group's body weight, diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure according to diet education. Body weight, diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure were decreased average 0.98+/-2.01 kg, 10.33+/-15.60mmHg, 4.97+/-9.16 mmHg on education group, but there is no significant difference on non education group. CONCLUSION: A brief diet education can be a very useful method for management of body weight and blood pressure for the elderly in the way of cost-effectiveness. Also we can obtain more higher educational effect with regular practice.

Chemonucleolysis at Out-patient Clinic

The Chemonucleolysis at out-patient clinic(OPD) is a new option in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. The authors performed 39 cases of Chemonucleolysis with this method since Mar. 1992. All but 2 cases had excellent or good results without any complications. This OPD chemonucleolysis was thought to be a very useful method that gave various benefits to both of the patient and the hospital. To the patient, Socioeconomical and psychological benefits such as cost reduction and short hospital periods would be obtained. And to the hospital, Increasing outcome could be obtained by the improving hospital circulation of the patients who needed admission. For the best results, complete pre-operative evaluation and strict application of indication was essential. Proper home care guide was also needed because the home care was occasionally required from several days to a few months.
