Calidad de vida del adulto mayor del Valle del Mezquital post apoyo educativo mediante las Tic´s / Quality of life od the elderly in the Valley of the Mezquital post educational support by Ict´s

Introducción: según estudios previos en México señalan que la esperanza de vida era de 75.5 años y de acuerdo con nuevos datos, se estima que esta aumentara a 77.8 años para 2030¹, por lo cual es necesario fortalecer y fomentar el autocuidado en el adulto mayor, mediante el apoyo educativo, debido a la pandemia a través del uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TICs) con la finalidad de aumentar su nivel de calidad de vida. Objetivo: evaluar el nivel de calidad de vida de los adultos mayores del Valle del Mezquital antes y después del apoyo educativo para fomentar el autocuidado mediante el uso de las TICs. Material y métodos: investigación cuantitativa, nivel de alcance exploratorio, con un diseño metodológico experimental, prolectivo longitudinal prospectivo. Se ocupó la prueba estadística paramétrica t de student. Resultados: de acuerdo al instrumento WHOQOL-BREF preintervención se obtuvo que el 80% de la población reflejo una calidad de vida media, posterior a un mes de intervención 67 % de la población reflejo calidad de vida alta, de acuerdo con la prueba estadística t se obtuvo una significan la bilateral de .041 posterior a la intervención. Conclusiones: la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores mejoró gracias a las intervenciones educativas ofrecidas médiate las TICs logrando así una nueva estrategia de acercamiento en tiempos de pandemia demostrando que estas herramientas ayudan a mejorar el autocuidado.

Introduction: according to previous studies in Mexico indicate that life expectancy was 75.5 years and according to new data, it is estimated that this will increase to 77.8 years by 2030, so it is necessary to strengthen and encourage self-care in the elderly, through educational support, due to the pandemic through the use of Information and communication technologies (ICTs) to increase their quality of life. Objective: to assess the quality of life of older adults in the Mezquital Valley before and after educational support to promote self-care through the use of ICTs. Material and methods: basic research with a quantitative approach, exploratory scope level, with an experimental methodological design, prospective longitudinal prolective. The parametric statistical test of the student was taken. Results: according to the instrument WHOQOL-BREF pre intervention was obtained that 80 % of the population reflected an average quality of life, and after a month of intervention was obtained 67 % of the population reflected high quality of life, according to the statistical test was obtained a bilateral mean of .041 after the intervention. Conclusions: the quality of life of older adults improved thanks to the educational interventions offered by ICTs, thus achieving a new approach strategy in times of pandemic, demonstrating that these tools help to improve self-care

Immunogenicity of a new allergoid from Felis domesticus

BACKGROUND: The chemical modification of allergens with glutaraldehyde improves safety while maintaining clinical efficacy, which permits the administration of higher doses of immunotherapy, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the immunogenic capacity of a new cat dander polymer by immunizing mice and quantifying immunoglobulins in serum, in comparison with the non-modified allergen. METHODS: The study consists of the immunization of three mice groups with the polymerized and the native extract, together with a negative control group. The immunoglobulin levels in serum have been measured by indirect ELISA. By means of the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test, it was determined if there were significant differences in the values of specific antibodies between groups. RESULTS: The group immunized with the allergoid showed significantly higher specific IgG and IgG1 values to dander allergens and specific IgG to the major allergen Fel d 1, while there were no significant changes in IgG2a and IgE values. These results could be due to a higher immunization dose. The vaccine formulation was based on the optimal defined dose for clinical efficacy of allergen immunotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: This preclinical study carried out with the present assay has established that the allergoid of cat dander extract, as designed for its optimal use in allergen immunotherapy, produces a higher specific IgG than the native extract, in addition to showing significantly higher specific IgG1 levels, evidencing a greater effectiveness in immunization
