Desarrollo de un dispositivo de observación de clases de Educación Física para la enseñanza básica: una perspectiva naturalista desde La experiencia docente / Development of a device for observation of Physical Education classes at elementary school level: a naturalist perspective from teaching experience

El presente trabajo sistematiza el abordaje cualitativo de un proyecto patrocinado por el Ministerio de Educación de Chile, en función de desarrollar un instrumento de observación de las clases de educación Física para el Nivel de Enseñanza General Básica en establecimientos com financiamiento público. El mencionado instrumento tiene como objetivo favorecer procesos de diálogo disciplinar y fortalecer el desempeño didáctico de las/os profesionales del área. El trabajo cualitativo se desarrolló en etapas sucesivas y complementarias: revisión de literatura específica (fase teórica), percepciones de estudiantes de último año de La disciplina (fase ingenua) y de profesionales en ejercicio laboral (fase naturalista). De la confluencia de dichas fuentes, se establecieron tres dimensiones del desempeño didáctico, a saber: gestión, acción y saber didáctico. Como resultado se logró saturar, depurar y definir los indicadores de cada dimensión, como también generar y triangular indicaciones de implementación para el desarrollo de un dispositivo de observación de clases de Educación Física para la Enseñanza Básica en Chile. El presente reporte de investigación discute principalmente los resultados y protocolos metodológicos asociados a la fase naturalista.

The present investigation takes place in a qualitative project sponsored by the Chilean Education Ministry, in order to develop an observation instrument in P.E classes mainly in primary public schools. The previously mentioned project enables dialogue processes to improve professionals' didactic work in this area. The qualitative project was developed in complementary stages: specific literature review, perceptions of senior PE students and perceptions of PE teachers who are working at public schools. In relation to the sources, three didactic processes were established: management, action and didactic knowledge. As a result, it was possible to define the indicators for each dimension, as well as investigate implementation indicators from the specific instrument. This report deals mainly with the results and process associated to the naturalist stage.

Bioavailability of two oral-tablet and two oral-suspension formulations of naproxen sodium/paracetamol (acetaminophen): single-dose, randomized, open-label, two-period crossover comparisons in healthy Mexican adult subjects.

BACKGROUND: Naproxen sodium/paracetamol (acetaminophen) is a combination for the treatment of symptomatic pain and fever marketed both as a prescription and an over-the-counter product in Mexico. OBJECTIVE: The aim of these 2 studies was to compare the bioavailability and to determine the bioequivalence of 2 test formulations (an oral-tablet formulation containing the combination of naproxen sodium/paracetamol 275/300 mg and an oral-suspension formulation containing the combination of naproxen sodium/paracetamol 375/300 mg per 15 mL) with their corresponding listed reference-drug formulations in Mexico (a list issued by Mexican health authorities). METHODS: Two separate, single-dose, randomized, open-label, 2-period crossover, postmarketing studies were conducted. For each study, a different set of eligible subjects was selected comprising healthy Mexican adults of either sex, and subjects were randomly assigned to receive 1 test formulation of the combination of naproxen sodium/paracetamol followed by the corresponding reference-drug formulation, or vice versa, with a 1-week washout period between doses. After a 12-hour overnight fast, subjects received a single dose of naproxen sodium/paracetamol 275/300-mg tablet or naproxen sodium/paracetamol 375/300 mg per 15 mL suspension, depending on the study. For the analysis of pharmacokinetic parameters, including C(max), AUC from time 0 (baseline) to 48 hours (AUC(0-48)), and AUC from baseline to infinity (AUC(0-infinity)), blood samples were drawn at baseline and at 0.16, 0.33, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours after administration. The formulations were considered bioequivalent if the geometric mean ratios (test/reference) of the C(max) and AUC were within the predetermined range of 80% to 125%. Tolerability was determined by clinical assessment, monitoring vital signs, laboratory analysis results, and subject interviews regarding adverse events. RESULTS: A total of 26 subjects (15 men, 11 women; mean [SD] age, 29 [8] years [range, 20-50 years]; weight, 63.1 [9] kg [range, 51.4-84.4 kg]; height, 164 [9] cm [range, 149-179 cm]; and body mass index [BMI], 23.53 [2.18] kg/m(2) [range, 18.54-26.82 kg/m(2)]) were enrolled to receive the suspension-dosage formulation; 13 subjects received the suspension-test formulation first. A total of 26 subjects (13 men, 13 women; mean [SD] age, 29 [8] years [range, 18-43 years]; weight, 64.3 [7.7] kg [range, 50.6-80.7 kg]; height, 165 [9] cm [range, 151-181 cm]; and BMI, 23.64 [2.43] kg/m(2) [range, 18.02-26.42 kg/m(2)]) were enrolled to receive the tablet-dosage formulation; 13 subjects received the tablet-test formulation first. No significant period or sequence effects were detected based on analysis of variance. For the suspension-dosage formulation, the 90% CIs for naproxen C(max), AUC(0-48), and AUC(0-infinity) were 93.06% to 104.00%, 93.50% to 98.44%, and 92.14% to 98.99%, respectively, and were 90.09% to 105.90%, 88.58% to 99.34%, and 91.43% to 101.55%, respectively, for paracetamol. For the tablet-dosage formulation, the 90% CIs for naproxen C(max), AUC(0-48), and AUC(0-infinity) were 102.83% to 117.15%, 96.59% to 104.26%, and 96.01% to 102.90%, respectively, and were 94.04% to 121.09%, 95.48% to 105.64%, and 96.64% to 105.42%, respectively, for paracetamol. CONCLUSIONS: In these 2 small studies in healthy Mexican adult subjects, a single dose of naproxen sodium/paracetamol 275/300 mg of the test formulation of the tablet-dosage formulation or a single dose of naproxen sodium/paracetamol 375/300 mg per 15 mL of the test formulation of the suspension-dosage formulation was found to be bioequivalent to the corresponding reference formulations according to the regulatory definition of bioequivalence based on the rate and extent of absorption. All formulations were generally well tolerated.

Bioavailability of two sublingual formulations of ketorolac tromethamine 30 mg: a randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-period crossover comparison in healthy Mexican adult volunteers.

BACKGROUND: Ketorolac tromethamine (ie, ketorolac) is an NSAID that appears to have several mechanisms of action, including inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, modulatory effect on opioid receptors, and nitric oxide synthesis. Ketorolac is used in the treatment of pain. There are various generic formulations of sublingual ketorolac available in Mexico. However, a literature search did not identify published data concerning the bioavailability of these formulations in the Mexican population. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the bioavailability of 2 sublingual formulations of ketorolac 30-mg tablets in healthy Mexican adult volunteers. METHODS: This was a randomized-sequence, open-label, single-dose, 2-period crossover (2 dosing periods x 2 treatments) study comparing the bioavailability of two 30-mg sublingual tablet formulations of ketorolac. Healthy Mexican adult (aged, 18-55 years) men and women were eligible for inclusion. Subjects were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive a single dose of the test formulation or the reference formulation. After a 12-hour overnight fast, subjects received a single dose of the corresponding formulation. There was a 7-day washout period between administration periods. Plasma samples were obtained over a 24-hour period after administration. Plasma ketorolac concentrations were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography for analysis of pharmacokinetic properties, including Cmax, AUC0-24, and AUC0-infinity. Blood samples were drawn immediately after sublingual placement of the drug and at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, and 90 minutes and 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours after dosing. The formulations were considered bioequivalent if the geometric mean ratios of Cmax and AUC were within the predetermined range of 80% to 125% and if P for the 90% CIs was <0.05. Tolerability was assessed by vital sign monitoring, laboratory analysis results, and subject interviews. RESULTS: A total of 27 subjects (18 women, 9 men; mean [SD] age, 27 [9] years [range, 18-47 years]; weight, 61 [8] kg [48-79 kg]; height, 163 [8] cm [150-180 cm]) were enrolled and completed the study. Fourteen subjects received the test formulation first. No period or sequence effect was observed. The 90% CIs for the corresponding differences in natural log Cmax, AUC0-24, and AUC0-infinity were 95.94% to 114.66%, 98.34% to 105.90%, and 99.25% to 108.36%, respectively (all, (P) < 0.05), meeting the predetermined criteria for bioequivalence. Sixteen subjects experienced a total of 20 adverse events (AEs) during the study. None of the AEs were considered serious. One AE (nausea) appeared to be related to use of the reference formulation. CONCLUSIONS: In this small study in 27 healthy Mexican adult volunteers, the test formulation of a single, 30-mg sublingual tablet of ketorolac appeared to be bioequivalent to the reference formulation based on the rate and extent of absorption. Both formulations were well tolerated.

Bioavailability of two single-dose oral formulations of omeprazole 20 mg: an open-label, randomized sequence, two-period crossover comparison in healthy Mexican adult volunteers.

BACKGROUND: Omeprazole is a proton-pump inhibitor that acts to reduce acid secretion in the stomach and is used for treating various acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. There are several generic formulations of omeprazole available in Mexico; however, a literature search failed to identify published data concerning the bioavailability of these formulations in the Mexican population. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the bioavailability of 2 oral formulations of omeprazole 20-mg capsules, marketed for use in Mexico, in healthy volunteers: Inhibitron (test formulation) and LosecA 20 mg (reference formulation). METHODS: This study used a single-dose, open-label, randomized sequence, 2 x 2 crossover (2 administration periods x 2 treatments) design to compare the 2 formulations. Eligible subjects were healthy adult Mexican volunteers of both sexes. Subjects were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive a single 20-mg dose of the test formulation followed by the reference formulation, or vice versa, with a 7-day washout period between administration periods. After a 12-hour (overnight) fast, subjects received a single, 20-mg dose of the corresponding formulation. Plasma samples were obtained over a 12-hour period after administration. Plasma omeprazole concentrations were analyzed by a nonstereospecific high-performance liquid chromatography method. For analysis of pharmacokinetic properties, including C(max), AUC from time 0 (baseline) to time t (AUC(0-t)), and AUC from baseline to infinity (AUC(0-infinity)), blood samples were drawn at baseline and 0.17, 0.33, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2, 2.50, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours after administration. The formulations were considered bioequivalent if the natural log (ln)-transformed ratios of C(max) and AUC were within the predetermined equivalence range of 80% to 125%, and if P

Bioavailability of two oral suspension and two oral tablet formulations of acyclovir 400 mg: two single-dose, open-label, randomized, two-period crossover comparisons in healthy Mexican adult subjects.

BACKGROUND: Acyclovir is an important antiviral drug, used extensively for treatment of herpes simplex and varicella zoster. Six oral generic formulations of acyclovir are available in Mexico; however, a literature search failed to identify data information concerning the bioavailability of these formulations in the Mexican population. OBJECTIVE: The aim of these 2 studies was to compare the bioavailability of 4 oral formulations of acyclovir 400 mg--2 tablet formulations and 2 suspension formulations--with their corresponding listed drug references in Mexico (a list issued by Mexican Health Authorities). METHODS: Two separate, single-dose, open-label, randomized, 2-period crossover studies were conducted at the Centro de Estudios Científicos y Clínicos Pharma, S.A. de C.V. (clinical unit), Mexico City, Mexico. For each study, a different set of eligible subjects were selected. They included healthy Mexican volunteers of either sex. For each study, subjects were randomly assigned to receive 1 test formulation of acyclovir 400 mg followed by the reference formulation, or vice versa, with a 1-week washout period between doses. After a 12-hour (overnight) fast, subjects received a single 400-mg dose (tablet or 10-mL suspension) of the corresponding formulation. For the analysis of pharmacokinetic properties, including C(max), AUC from time 0 (baseline) to time t (AUC(0-t)), and AUC from baseline to infinity (AUC(0-infinity)), blood samples were drawn at baseline, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours after dosing. The formulations were considered bioequivalent if the natural logarithm (ln)-transformed ratios of Cmax and AUC were within the predetermined equivalence range of 80% to 125% and if P
