RESUMO
Se realizó un estudio experimental, de intervención terapéutica, en 25 estudiantes de primer año de medicina, pertenecientes a la Facultad No.2 de la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Santiago de Cuba, desde marzo hasta septiembre de 2012, con vistas a evaluar la efectividad de las esencias florales de Bach en el tratamiento del estrés académico. Entre las variables analizadas figuraron: nivel de estrés, estresores académicos, reacciones físicas, psicológicas y comportamentales. Se calcularon las frecuencias absoluta y relativa para variables cualitativas, la media y desviación estándar para las cuantitativas, así como la prueba T para los datos pareados con un nivel de significación de 0,05 (p<0,05). La evolución favorable en la mayoría de los afectados puso de manifiesto la utilidad de la terapia floral para disminuir el estrés.

Among the analyzed variables there were: stress level, academic stressors, physical, psychological and behavioural reactions. The absolute and relative frequencies were calculated for qualitative variables, the mean and standard deviation for the quantitative ones, as well as the T test for the paired data with a significance level of 0,05 (p <0,05). The favorable clinical course in most of the affected ones showed the usefulness of the flower therapy to decrease stress.

Nuclear cardiac imaging is acknowledged as a robust technique for clinically assessing patients with a wide spectrum of cardiac illnesses. Recent technical, radiotracer, and stressor advancements continue to expand the role of nuclear cardiology for the accurate diagnosis and prognostication of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. The introduction of I-123 MIBG represents another advance for assessing risk in patients with congestive heart failure and depressed left ventricular (LV) function. Software and hardware innovations and recent shifts in acquisition protocols have greatly improved image quality, reduced cost and radiation exposure, and continue to promote patient and physician satisfaction. The following article will highlight recent achievements in the field that continue to foster a patient-centered imaging approach.
