Relación del machismo con la aceptación de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en hombres adultos / Machismo relationship with type 2 diabetes mellitus acceptance among adult men / Relação do machismo com a aceitação do diabetes mellitus tipo 2 em homens adultos

RESUMEN Introducción La aceptación de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 contribuye al apego del tratamiento y al control de la enfermedad. Pero se ha reportado que los hombres tienen menor aceptación al diagnóstico de este padecimiento. En los hombres mexicanos la no aceptación puede estar relacionada con el machismo. Objetivo Identificar la relación del machismo con la aceptación de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Metodología Se realizó un estudio transversal y correlacional. La población de interés fue de hombres con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 entre 20 y 59 años de edad registrados en centros de atención primaria del área metropolitana de Monterrey, Nuevo León, México. Se obtuvo una muestra de 121 participantes a través de un muestreo por conveniencia. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Inventario de Conformidad de las Normas Masculinas y la Escala Aceptación en DMT2. Para el análisis estadístico se empleó el programa SPSS versión 25; se realizó un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple. Resultados Los resultados señalan que los hombres con percepción de mayor machismo, jornadas laborales extensas y consumo elevado de cigarrillos aceptan menos el diagnóstico y la enfermedad de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Para las subdimensiones del machismo, la homofobia fue el mejor predictor de la aceptación o no de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Conclusiones El profesional de salud debe desarrollar programas para la aceptación de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en hombres de reciente diagnóstico que contribuyan a aceptar su enfermedad, y así, permitan mejorar el autocuidado, control glucémico y prevención de complicaciones.

ABSTRACT Introduction Accepting a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus contributes to the adher- ence to the treatment and control of the illness; however, it has been reported that men tend to have a lower acceptance of this diagnosis. Among Mexican men, in particular, this low acceptance could be related to their machismo. Objective To identify the relationship of machismo with the acceptance of a type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis. Methodology This is a transversal and correlational study. The population of interest were Mexican men diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus between 20 and 59 years registered in centers of primary attention in the city of Monterrey, Mexico. The sample was constituted of 121 participants chosen by convenience. The instruments used were the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory and the Acceptance Scale for DM2. The statistical analysis and the multiple linear regression model were carried out using SPSS v25. Results Findings suggest that men who show machismo, who have long labor shifts, and who consume large quantities of cigarettes tend not to accept a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Regarding the subdimensions of the machismo construct, homophobia was the best predictor of accepting or not a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusions Healthcare professionals should develop programs aimed at improving the acceptance attitude of a type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis among men, including those with machismo, in order to better manage self-care, glucose control, and also prevent complications.

RESUMO Introdução A aceitação do diabetes mellitus tipo 2 contribui para a adesão ao tratamento e controle da doença. Mas, tem sido relatado que os homens têm menos aceitação do diagnóstico desta doença. Nos homens mexicanos, a não aceitação pode estar relacionada ao machismo. Objetivo Identificar a relação do machismo com a aceitação do diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Metodologia Foi realizado um estudo transversal e correlacional. A população de interesse foram homens com diabetes mellitus tipo 2 entre 20 e 59 anos registrados em centros de atenção primária na área metropolitana de Monterrey, Nuevo León, México. Foi obtida uma amostra de 121 participantes por amostragem de conveniência. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Inventário de Conformidade com Normas Masculinas e a Escala de Aceitação DMT2. Para a análise estatística utilizou-se o programa SPSS versão 25; um modelo de regressão linear múltipla foi realizado. Resultados Os resultados indicam que homens com percepção de maior machismo, longas jornadas de trabalho e alto consumo de cigarro aceitam menos o diagnóstico e a doença de diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Para as subdimensões do machismo, a homofobia foi o melhor preditor de aceitação ou não de diabetes melito tipo 2. Conclusões O profissional de saúde deve desenvolver programas de aceitação da diabetes mellitus tipo 2 em homens recém-diagnosticados que contribuam para a aceitação da sua doença e, assim, permitam melhorar o autocuidado, o controlo glicémico e a prevenção de complicações.

Relationship between Paratuberculosis and the microelements Copper, Zinc, Iron, Selenium and Molybdenum in Beef Cattle

To study the deficiency of minerals and its relationship with Paratuberculosis, blood, serum, and fecal samples were obtained from 75 adult bovines without clinical symptoms of the disease and from two bovines with clinical symptoms of the disease, from two beef herds with a previous history of Paratuberculosis in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Serum samples were processed by ELISA and feces were cultured in Herrolds medium. Copper, zinc and iron in serum were quantified by spectrophotometry and selenium was measured by the activity of glutathione peroxidase. We also determined copper, zinc, iron and molybdenum concentrations in pastures and the concentration of sulfate in water. Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (Map) was isolated from 17.3% of fecal samples of asymptomatic animals and from the fecal samples from the two animals with clinical symptoms. All the Map-positive animals were also ELISA-positive or suspect, and among them, 84.6% presented low or marginal values of selenium and 69.2% presented low or marginal values of copper. The two animals with clinical symptoms, and isolation of Map from feces and organs were selenium-deficient and had the lowest activity of glutathione peroxidase of all the animals from both herds. All the animals negative to Map in feces and negative to ELISA had normal values of Se, while 13.8% of animals with positive ELISA or suspect and culture negative presented low levels of Se. Half of the animals that were negative both for ELISA and culture in feces were deficient in copper but none of them presented low values of selenium. The content of molybdenum and iron in pasture was high, 2.5 ppm and 1.13 ppm in one herd and 2.5 ppm and 2.02 ppm in the other, respectively, whereas the copper:molybdenum ratio was 1.5 and 5.2, respectively. These results do not confirm an interaction between imbalances of the micronutrients and clinical Paratuberculosis, but show evidence of the relationship between selenium...

Prueba logoaudiométrica IU-PLI / UI-PLI logo-audiometric test

El proposito de este estudio fue estimar la validez de contenido y la confiabilidad por mitades de la prueba de logoaudiometria adaptada al español colombiano para la poblacion infantil de Santafe de Bogota de 3.5 a 10 años basada en la prueba Northwestern University Children's Perception of Speech: NU-CHIPS (Elliot y Katz, 1980). Esta investigacion se inscribe en el area de la medicion audiologica y adopto un diseño de tipo descriptivo correlacional. Se tomo una muestra de 64 niños, 47 con audición normal y 17 con hipoacusia neurosensorial bilateral entre moderada y severa. La prueba fue aplicada a esta poblacion en un contexto cerrado de respuesta. Los resultados obtenidos sugirieron un alto grado de validez mediante el balance fonetico del instrumento a traves de expertos y de la aplicacion empirica de la prueba piloto y la confiabilidad por la correlacion existente entre las variables analizadas a traves de las pruebas estadisticas correlacionales Spearman Brown y Kuder Richardson 20, los cuales no arrojaron diferencias significativas en la ejecucion de la prueba por los sujetos con relacion a los datos normativos de la prueba originalel propósito
