RESUMEN  El compromiso de los estudiantes con el aprendizaje y la escuela es el principal reto para aquellos centros en cuya misión está la integración escolar de alumnos con antecedentes de fracaso escolar. Los hallazgos precedentes subrayan que el apoyo social determina el compromiso de los estudiantes y su integración en la vida del centro, existiendo evidencias que sugieren que esta determinación está moderada por rasgos personales como el género y el estadio de desarrollo. No obstante, faltan estudios que ayuden a comprender el efecto sinérgico entre los sistemas de apoyo y el compromiso. Este estudio utilizó el análisis de ecuaciones estructurales con una población de estudiantes (N=193) en un IES de segunda oportunidad con el objetivo de conocer los efectos sinérgicos (y sus relaciones) del apoyo familiar y escolar sobre el compromiso de los estudiantes, probando el efecto moderador de la edad y el género. Los resultados mostraron una influencia indirecta de la familia sobre el compromiso de los estudiantes, mediada por el apoyo del centro. Del mismo modo, el efecto moderador de la edad y el género de los estudiantes fue relativamente significativo. Los hallazgos aportan (a) evidencia empírica de la influencia simultánea y mediada del apoyo familiar y escolar sobre la mejora de la conducta de alumnos con antecedentes de inadaptación escolar, y (b) muestran que a medida que los alumnos avanzan en la adolescencia la influencia del apoyo familiar decrece en este tipo de centros.ABSTRACTThe engagement of students is the main challenge for those centers whose mission is the integration of students with a history of school failure. The previous findings emphasize that social support determines the engagement of students and their integration in the life of the center, and there is evidence to suggest that this determination is moderated by personal traits such as gender and stage of development. However, studies that help to understand the synergic effect between support systems and engagement are lacking. This study used the analysis of structural equations with a student population (N = 193) in a secondary school in order to know the synergistic effects (and their relationships) of family and school support on student engagement, testing the moderating effect of age and gender. The results showed an indirect influence of the family on the engagement of the students, mediated by the school support. Also the moderating effect of the age and gender of the students was relatively significant. The findings provide (a) empirical evidence of the simultaneous and mediated influence of family and school support on improving the behavior of students with a history of school maladjustment, and (b) show that as students advance in adolescence the influence of family support decreases in this type of centers.

Purpose. To evaluate the diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes after vitrectomy compared to that of healthy eyes.Methods. Twenty-one patients who had undergone vitrectomy and 21 age- and gender-matched normal controls were enrolled during the same period. We measured the diurnal IOP every two hours between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. in all patients who were admitted for cataract surgery. Patients with a history of eye surgery (not including vitrectomy) or use of a medication that is associated with IOP were excluded. The IOP and ocular parameters of patients were compared with the same patients’ fellow healthy eyes and with normal eyes of age- and gender-matched controls.Results. There were no significant differences between vitrectomized eyes and normal fellow eyes with regard to all IOP parameters including the maximum, minimum, and IOP fluctuation values. Diurnal fluctuation of IOP (or the difference between the maximum and minimum IOP) was larger in vitrectomized eyes than it was in age- and gender-matched control eyes.Conclusions. Vitrectomy did not markedly affect the IOP. Although there were no severe complications after vitrectomy, the IOP fluctuation was wider in vitrectomized eyes than it was in normal eyes.

AbstractNeurological soft signs (NSS) are characterized by abnormalities in motor, sensory, and integrative functions. NSS have been regarded as a result of neurodevelopmental dysfunction, and as evidence of a central nervous system defect, resulting in considerable sociopsychological dysfunction. During the last decade there has been growing evidence of brain dysfunction in severe aggressive behavior. As a symptom, aggression overlaps a number of psychiatric disorders, but it is commonly associated with antisocial personality disorder. The aim of the present study was to examine NSS in an adult criminal population using the scale by Rossi et al. [29]. Subjects comprised 14 homicidal men with antisocial personality disorder recruited from a forensic psychiatric examination. Ten age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers as well as eight patients with schizophrenia, but no history of physical aggression, served as controls. The NSS scores of antisocial offenders were significantly increased compared with those of the healthy controls, whereas no significant differences were observed between the scores of offenders and those of patients with schizophrenia. It can be speculated that NSS indicate a nonspecific vulnerability factor in several psychiatric syndromes, which are further influenced by a variety of genetic and environmental components. One of these syndromes may be antisocial personality disorder with severe aggression.

This article examines the relative incidence of poverty among the elderly in nineteenth-century Hertfordshire with special reference to gender. Both national and local sources are employed to highlight the particular difficulties experienced by the elderly, male poor under the New Poor Law, and the short and long term problems they faced as a result of seasonal unemployment and an overstocked labour market. For elderly women, the extent to which their poverty was relieved by employment in cottage industry, almshouse accommodation, the continuing receipt of out-relief and a higher incidence of family support are examined to provide an assessment of the manner in which poverty was gendered in the nineteenth century.

The Biała Podlaska poviat was almost at the geographical centre of the interwarperiod Second Polish Republic (1918–1939). However, its peripheral position in relation to other Districts of central voivodships resulted in a number of events and processes that were taking place at that time having a slightly different outmode in its territory. The article attempts to present selected aspects of the demographic structure to confront the extent to which the field of interest diverges from the neighbouring areas. Besides a determination of the population of the district, its structure was analysed in terms of age, gender, level of urbanization and structure of employment. Particularly valuable information was obtained through confrontation of data from the 1921 and 1931 censuses in terms of changes taking place among employment in fundamental branches of the economy. The period was also important for the urban population, which is one of the determinants of the level of modernity of society. Presentation of population growth the county and its characteristics in terms of age and gender provided information on the demographic potential of the analysed area. The analysis provided a number of interesting data sets, somewhat corroborating the varied character of the Biała Podlaska district. The information can be used for further research on the history of the district.

Purpose: to assess specificities of course of the long­QT syndrome in children before and after implantation of cardioverter­defibrillator (ICD), and optimization of indications to ICD­therapy.Materials and methods. We included in this study 48 children with long­QT syndrome from 44 unrelated families (28 boys and 20 girls), who underwent ICD implantation at the mean age 11.8±3.8 years. Mean duration of follow­up after implantation was 5.2±2.8 years. Data from these children were compared with those from 59 children of comparable age and gender with long­QT syndrome from 46 unrelated families receiving antiarrhythmic therapy (β­adrenoblockers). We assessed clinical and electrocardiographic characteristics of the disease obtained at initial visit and their dynamics thereafter.Results. Children with long­QT syndrome and ICD were mainly probands with interval QT longer than 500 ms, recurrent syncope and often history of sudden cardiac arrest requiring high doses of β­adrenoblockers for control of ventricular tachyarrhythmias.Conclusion. ICD implantation is an effective and safe method both of primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death in children with long­QT syndrome.

Abstract Background Chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC) is classically related to higher occurrence of thromboembolic events, especially stroke, particularly in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, risk factors for stroke in patients with CCC but no atrial fibrillation have not been well established. Purpose We aimed to assess the relationship between left ventricular (LV) structure and function, as evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), with stroke in individuals with CCC. Methods We prospectively collected data from 141 patients with CCC who underwent CMR from October 2009 to December 2013 and who were thereafter followed for a median period of 6.8 years. The outcome was the occurrence of stroke during the follow-up period. The only exclusion criteria were history of previous stroke, AF or use of oral anticoagulant (OAC) at the time of CMR. CMR-derived LV parameters were: LV ejection fraction (LVEF), extension of LV myocardial fibrosis, assessed by late gadolinium enhancement, and presence of LV apical aneurysm. LVEF was classified as follows: (I) normal ≥55%; (II) mid-range <55% and ≥40%; and (III) reduced <40%. Age and gender were covariates in the adjusted Cox proportional hazard model. Results Of the initial 141 CCC participants, 25 subjects were excluded due to previous stroke (n=2), history of AF (n=11), or use of OAC (n=12). The remaining 116 individuals had a mean age of 56±14 years, 51% women. Normal, mid-range and reduced LVEF were found in 48 (41%), 43 (37%), and 25 (22%) patients, respectively. Myocardial fibrosis was detected in 79 of 111 (71%) subjects in whom the detection method was feasible. The extension of LV fibrosis was evaluated as a median of 4.6% [interquartile range: 0–10]. LV apical aneurysm was identified in 36 (31%) patients. During the follow-up (median 6.8 years), stroke was reported in 9 participants. In the univariate analysis, reduced LVEF was significantly associated with higher risk of stroke compared to normal LVEF (HR: 9.2, 95% CI: 1.8–48.4), while there was no significant difference between mid-range and normal LVEF (HR: 1.2, 95% CI: 0.2–8.2). The association of reduced LVEF and stroke remained significant in the multivariable model, adjusted for age and gender (HR: 12.6, 95% CI: 1.9–83.2). Kaplan-Meier curves are presented in figure 1 (logrank p-value <0.001). Neither the extension of LV myocardial fibrosis (HR: 1.0, 95% CI: 0.9–1.1) nor the presence of LV apical aneurysm (HR: 1.9, 95% CI: 0.5–7.2) was related to higher risk of stroke. Conclusion In patients with CCC, reduced LVEF assessed by CMR, but not LV fibrosis or presence of apical aneurysm, was a significant predictor of stroke.

Background. Evidences are accumulating that age and gender have great impact on the distribution of stroke risk factors. Such data are lacking in Chinese population.Methods. 1027 patients with first-ever ischemic stroke (IS) were recruited and divided into young adult (<50 years), middle-aged (50∼80 years), and very old (>80 years) groups according to stroke onset ages. Vascular risk factors were collected and compared among groups.Results. Female patients were globally older than male patients at stroke onset and having higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM), heart diseases, and atrial fibrillation (AF). However, females were less likely to drink heavily or smoke than males. Young patients had a much higher proportion of smoking and drinking than middle-aged and very old patients and the highest family history of hypertension, while very old patients had the highest prevalence of heart diseases and AF but lowest proportion of positive family history of vascular diseases. Hypertension and DM were equally frequent among three groups.Conclusion. Our study showed that vascular risk factors had a specific age and gender distribution pattern in Chinese IS patients. Secondary prevention strategy should emphasize on the control of different risk factors based on patient’s age and gender.

Abstract An increased incidence of obesity and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality was recently observed in adult survivors of childhood malignancies younger than 45 years. The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of early indicators of the dysmetabolic syndrome in a population of young survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in childhood. Patients and methods: Our study included 58 patients (31 males), aged 5–24 years (mean 12.9 years) with ALL, who had finished their treatment by the same protocol at least 2 years before the study (mean 5.1 years, range 2–10 years). Ten patients had received cranial irradiation (18 Gy). No patient had a history of thyroid disease or diabetes mellitus or received hormonal substitution. We obtained a detailed history of their diet habits and level of physical activity and measured their body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP). Complete blood counts and blood chemistry tests were also obtained. Finally, bone density was measured in the lumbar spine and femur with DEXA. Results: Diet enriched in lipids and low carbohydrates was reported by 43/58 (74%), while absence of any athletic activity by 38/58 (65%) of the patients. Frank obesity with a BMI >30 or its equivalent for age and gender was observed in 12/58 (21%) of the patients, while 25/58 (43%) were overweight, with a BMI >25<30 or its equivalent for age and gender.1 Increased systolic and/or diastolic BP (>95th percentile) was observed in 13/58 patients (22%), while in 25/58 (43%) it was > the 75th percentile. Dyslipidemia characterized by one, two, or three indices (serum cholesterol, triglycerides or LDL concentrations >95th percentile) was respectively detected in 20/58 (35%), 13/58 (22%), and 7/58 (12%) of the patients. Reduced serum HDL concentrations (<5th percentile) was observed in 12/58 (21%) of the patients. Slightly elevated free fatty acids were detected in 11/58 (19%) and hepatic enzymes in 7/58 (12%) of the patients. Increased fasting insulin was seen in 14/58 (24%) of the patients and HbA1c in 11/58 (19%) of them, however, fasting blood glucose was normal in all patients. Finally, increased inflammatory indices, namely C-reactive protein (CRP) or serum amyloid A (SAA), were detected in 9/58 patients (15%), reduced IGF-1 in 9/58 (15%) and thyroid hormone abnormalities in 5/58 (9%). All the patients with thyroid dysfunction, however, had received cranial irradiation. Osteopenia [Ζ score matched for age and gender of T score bone density: -(1–2.5) SD] was detected in 41/58 (71%) of the patients. None had frank osteoporosis. Conclusion: Survivors of childhood ALL have early indicators of high risk for the dysmetabolic syndrome. Modification of diet, body weight control, stress reduction, and reinforcement of an exercise program will hopefully be helpful in preventing the cardiovascular sequelae of the syndrome, improve the quality of life and enhance the life expectancy in this group of patients.
