La salvación del alma en Osuna durante los siglos XVIII y XIX
Authors: De la Puerta Lomelino Carlos
Published: January 2021

Este trabajo analiza unos treinta documentos testamentarios de la familia de la Puerta de Osuna (Sevilla), que nos revelan que la salvación del alma era una de las grandes preocupaciones humanas en los siglos pasados. Además de la mentalidad de la época ante la llegada del momento trascendental de la muerte, se obtienen multitud de datos sobre las costumbres funerarias, el coste de los entierros y misas, las obras sociales y de caridad a la que los difuntos destinaban parte de sus bienes, así como una gran cantidad de referencias de la vida religiosa de la Villa Ducal, de sus conventos y monasterios. Más importantes aún si cabe son las conclusiones que nos aportan los justificantes de los recibís firmados por los ejecutores de las diversas obras funerarias ante los albaceas testamentarios designados para tal efecto, ya que, debido al temor que siempre se ha tenido ante la muerte, las ocurrencias y curiosidades que se desvelan en dicho momento tan circunstancial nos pueden llegar a sorprender.

Authors: Souto Ludmila Alves Dias , Xavier Alessandra Rejane Ericsson de Oliveira , Xavier Mauro Aparecido de Sousa
Published: January 2021

Objective: This study verified whether the neuraminidase protein of Influenza A H1N1 virus sequence has modified from 2009–2017 and its impact on the 2018 Brazilian vaccine. Method: The reference neuraminidase protein sequence from H1N1 Puerto Rico/1934 strain was subjected to three different methods of epitope prediction and the top five from each method were aligned using Clustal omega, resulting in eight putative epitopes. These epitopes were aligned to 7,438 neuraminidase sequences spanning from 2009–2017 and analyzed for specific amino acid substitutions and counted. The resultant neuraminidase protein was aligned against the 2015 and 2018 neuraminidase proteins, from Influenza A H1N1 virus subtypes, used for vaccine production. Result: Twenty-one main substitutions were detected, of which 16/21 (76.2%) substitutions points remained stable and 1/21 (4.8%) returned to the original amino acid residue in the viral population from 2009–2017. Additionally, 19% (4/21) substitutions occurred in Brazil and worldwide in this period, indicating that changes in the neuraminidase viral population profile is time-dependent rather than geographical. Conclusion: The neuraminidase protein containing these amino acid substitutions is more closely related to the neuraminidase protein from influenza A/Michigan/45/2015 than A/California/7/2009, supporting the replacement of this virus subtype in the Brazilian vaccine in 2018.

Authors: Andrade Marileia , Pinto José Henrique Pereira
Published: January 2021

Since the beginning of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the most severe symptoms have occurred in elderly patients with comorbidities, with a higher risk of complications. Prescribed drugs, which are already part of geriatric care, associated with the experimental therapeutic drugs of COVID-19, may increase the risk of undesirable occurrences, due to the practice of polypharmacy, with the possibility of emergence of inappropriate adverse events and drug interactions. This can increase the risk of worsening the clinical picture, impairment of the general condition, intensification of inflammation and associated unfavorable conditions, incurring the highest probability of mortality.

Resumo: a pandemia da Covid-19 vem causando consequências várias à população mundial que vão além da contaminação pelo vírus, representando, por vezes, a acentuação de problemas já enfrentados pela sociedade.  Objetivo: discutir os impactos do coronavírus sobre a efetivação do Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada (DHAA), no Brasil, perpassando por dois objetos: diminuição da renda e aumento do consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados. Metodologia: método de abordagem dedutivo, através do levantamento documental e bibliográfico de fontes secundárias, procedendo-se a pesquisa em bases de dados online para seleção de artigos. Ao final, pretende-se validar, ou não, as duas hipóteses levantadas. Resultados: o DHAA é um direito social cuja efetivação está a cargo do Estado. Em razão das medidas de contenção do vírus, e seus impactos nas relações de emprego, a renda de alguns brasileiros obteve considerável redução – validação da hipótese (a). Em períodos de restrição financeira, sobretudo nas regiões subdesenvolvidas há um aumento no consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados – validação parcial da hipótese (b). Considerações finais: a população brasileira, deflagrada a situação de pandemia, pode estar inserta no contexto de falsa segurança alimentar, de maneira que qualquer agravamento dessa situação configura, em verdade, o endossamento de uma realidade anterior ao vírus.

Objective: We describe a psoriasis patient who let his dog lick his psoriasis lesions, which resulted in nonadherence to prescribed topical calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropiontae (Cal/BD) cutaneous foam. Methods: The patient’s adherence to (Cal/BD) cutaneous foam was objectively monitored by a chip in the medication dispenser and the patient was subsequently visited at his home to observe the dog’s licking process and obtain clinical photos. Conclusion: Topical antipsoriatic drugs containing corticosteroid/calcipotriol preparations are first-line treatment for mild-to-moderate psoriasis, but adherence rates to topical antipsoriatic drugs are low and a barrier for full efficacy of the treatment. Physicians should be aware that a dog licking off psoriasis scales can lead to nonadherence to topical treatment as well as expose the dog owners and their dogs to a risk of adverse events.

In miliary TB, the role of steroid remains to be unclear. Till date, extremely limited studies have been conducted to evaluate corticosteroids’ role in miliary TB. We report a patient with miliary TB and co-existing organizing pneumonia (OP), a condition that was managed successfully by anti-TB chemotherapy in adjunct with the corticosteroid. To the best of our knowledge, this association has not been reported or extremely infrequently reported in the existing literature. The adjunctive use of corticosteroids does not appear to diminish the efficacy of ‘adequate’ anti-tuberculosis therapy. The use of corticosteroids has significant short- and long-term benefits in most forms of tuberculosis.

Clear cell acanthoma is an uncommon type of benign epithelial tumor. Typically, it is a solitary lesion found on the lower limbs. It presents as a nodule or small plaque with slow and well-defined growth. Diagnosis used to be clinical and histopathological, but the advent of dermoscopy has led to an increase in diagnostic accuracy. We describe a case in which dermoscopy proved highly useful for diagnosis of the lesion.

Primary adenocarcinoma of the duodenum is a rare clinical condition, accounting for only 5% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms and 0.5% of all intestinal neoplasms. Nonspecific clinical presentation contributes to the majority of cases being diagnosed in advanced stages. The prognosis is poor, with a median survival of five years, varying from 23% to 57% in patients undergoing curative surgery (cephalic duodenopancreatectomy).
Tomossíntese e mamografia na avaliação de mulheres com elevada densidade mamária – Revisão sistemática
Authors: Azevedo Rita , Catarino Patrícia , Ribeiro Maria Margarida
Published: January 2021

A mamografia digital é, atualmente, o pilar do programa de rastreio do cancro da mama, contudo a densidade mamária afeta negativamente a sua performance de diagnóstico, diminuindo a sua sensibilidade devido ao efeito – designado em Radiologia “efeito máscara”. Com o objetivo de superar este inconveniente, a tomossíntese tem conseguido bons resultados em mulheres com elevada densidade mamária, devido à sua capacidade de reduzir as falsas imagens resultantes da sobreposição dos tecidos. Este estudo pretende explorar a literatura no que diz respeito à integração da tomossíntese nos programas de rastreio para avaliação de mulheres com elevada densidade mamária, com base nos indicadores clínicos: taxa de rechamada – recall rate, fração de falsos positivos (FFP) e taxa de deteção de lesões. Da pesquisa na literatura resultaram 79 estudos, dos quais 11 foram incluídos para análise. Verifica-se que a utilização da tomossíntese mais mamografia está associada à redução da recall rate, em todas as categorias ACR, mas maioritariamente na categoria C (Starikov A. et al, 2016) atingindo 8,83% para a tomossíntese e 10,98% para a mamografia (Alsheik N. et al, 2019), e 10,4% para a tomossíntese e 19,9% para a mamografia no estudo de Conant E. et al, 2019. A FFP também beneficia duma diminuição, porém, aumenta com o aumento das categorias ACR sendo cerca de 5 vezes superior na categoria D. A taxa de deteção de lesões também aumentou com a adoção da tomossíntese sendo cerca de 1,41 vezes superior em cada 1000 mulheres, e com maior expressão em mulheres com tecido mamário denso. Conclui-se que o uso isolado da tomossíntese ou a sua adição à mamografia demonstra resultados muito positivos, dado que esta modalidade de imagem contribui para a deteção de lesões de menores dimensões e, consequentemente, aumento da taxa de deteção de lesões, aumento da especificidade, diminuição da recall rate e FFP. Por este motivo a tomossíntese demonstra ser uma técnica promissora e pode representar uma resposta eficaz nos programas de rastreio.

An Analysis of the Communication of Provincial Identities in Mascots to Promote Tourism in Thailand
Authors: Wattanarak Suchada
Published: January 2021

This research analyzed the communication of provincial identities in mascots to promote tourism in Thailand through the conceptual frameworks of semiotic theory and identity concept. It is a qualitative research using an analysis of mascot components, an analysis of provincial identities that appear in the mascots, and in-depth interviews. The tools used consisted of a symbolic component analysis table with provincial identities and in-depth interviews.The sample group consisted of 23 mascots and 5 policymakers and mascot designers.Results of the study revealed that senders use mascots that are cute, friendly, and straightforward. Most of the senders use the encoding of sign in the icon level that looks like or resembles real objects to make them interesting and easy to understand. In addition, there is the encoding of sign in the index level that is reduced from real objects into patterns of costumes and accessories that make the mascots stand out. In terms of provincial identities, it was found that the meanings of the various symbols are transmitted in the dimensions of bringing up the distinctive identities of the province in seven aspects: 1) traditions and beliefs, 2) archaeological sites and antiques, 3) food and products, 4) famous tourist attractions, 5) costumes, 6) art and culture, and 7) other identities.

Published: January 2021

Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and hypertension. Once considered a problem only in high income countries, overweight and obesity are now dramatically on the rise in low and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings. A person with a BMI of 30 or more is generally considered obese. A person with a BMI equal to or more than 25 is considered overweight. Medodhatuvridhi causes Snigdhata of Shareera, Udara-parshvavridhi, Kasa, Shwasa, Hikka and Daurgandhya of Shareera. The Medovaha Srotas moola means the organs closely related to the functions of Medodhatu or the important sites related to beginning or ending of the channels of Medodhatu. The Acharya (Charaka, Sushruta and Vagbhata) considered Vrikka as Moola of Medovaha Srotas and also considered Vapavahana, Kati and Mamsa as second Moola respectively. The present study was conducted on 30 clinically diagnosed patients of 'Medoroga' (Obesity). The patients of ‘Medoroga’ (Obesity) were randomly divided into three groups of 10 patients in each. In Group A, 10 patients were treated with ‘Navakaguggulu’ 2 tab (each tab. of 500mg) three times a day with lukewarm water for 30 days. In Group B, 10 patients were treated with ‘Triphala Kwatha’ 50ml two times a day (morning and evening) for 30 days and in Group C, 10 patients were treated with ‘Navakaguggulu’ 2 tab (each tab. of 500 mg) three times a day with lukewarm water and ‘Triphala Kwatha’ 50ml two times a day (morning and evening) for 30 days. After completion of trial, Group C has shown the best result followed by Group A and B while in lab parameters Group A has shown highly significant result only in Triglyceride level. Similarly Group Cprovided better results in majority of the parameters.

Authors:   Waterdale Pkt, Idalia, QLD, Australia, Sandhya Gupta , Ajay Rane ,   Waterdale Pkt, Idalia, QLD, Australia
Published: January 2021

Objectives: Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a poorly diagnosed condition that produces chronic and painful symptoms that affect the sufferer’s quality of life. This article reports on the outcomes and trends of patients who received an intravesical cocktail injection of triamcinolone (steroid), gentamycin, and bupivacaine for symptom control in interstitial cystitis over a 5-year period. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 408 patients with Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome who were treated with an intravesical cocktail injection (triamcinolone, gentamicin, and bupivacaine) over a 5-year period (Jan 2015 – Dec 2019). All patients had been diagnosed with IC/BPS and had received first-line treatment as per the American Urology Association IC/BPS Guidelines. The age of the patients, the number of treatments, and the duration between each treatment were analysed using Spearman’s rho analysis. Results: In our cohort of patients, 264 patients (64.7%) responded well to just one intravesical cocktail therapy, 93 patients (22.7%) required two treatments, and 51 patients (12.5%) required 3 or more treatments for their symptom control. The longest interval between treatment delivery was between the first and second dose, an average of 328.2 days. A trend of sequentially shorter intervals between injections was demonstrated in those patients who required more than one therapeutic injection. Conclusions: The majority of the cohort patients, 87.5%, responded well and found sufficient symptom relief from just one or two intravesical injections. However, patients who required repeated injections received them at progressively shorter intervals, signifying poor efficacy of symptom control in this subset of patients.

Adenomyoma is a benign lesion that is most commonly seen in the gallbladder, however, rare cases have been reported where this pathology was encountered in the vicinity of the gastrointestinal tract. The pathogenesis of this lesion is still a controversy, with the previous reports suggesting it to be either a form of hamartoma or incomplete heterotopic pancreas. Jejunal and ileal adenomyoma have been rarely reported, and as of 2016 less than 30 cases were reported in the English literature. The clinical presentation is variable depending on the location of the lesion. Although there are no specific management guidelines for this pathology, a surgical resection is sufficient. However, aggressive surgical approaches, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary adenomyoma, have been undertaken in the previous reports due to the misdiagnosis with carcinoma preoperatively. We report a case of a 58-year-old gentleman who was referred to our Hepato- Pancreato-Biliary facility with common bile duct injury post laparoscopic cholecystectomy for hepatico- jejunostomy. Intra-operatively, an intra-luminal, jejunal mass was found measuring 2x2 cm and was about 95 cm from the DJ junction. The lesion was resected with safety margins, and primary anastomosis was done. The final histopathology of the specimen was consistent with adenomyoma, and all of the surgical margins were free.

PERFILES CONSTITUCIONALES DEL DERECHO A LA EDUCACIÓN Y LA LIBERTAD DE ENSEÑANZA EN EL ORDENAMIENTO JURÍDICO ESPAÑOL
Authors: VALERO HEREDIA ANA
Published: January 2021

España se ha convertido en los últimos años en uno de los Estados de la Unión Europea con mayores niveles de segregación escolar. Esta realidad tiene diversas causas entre las que se encuentra una interpretación expansiva por parte de los poderes públicos del derecho de las familias a la libre elección de centro educativo, y un incremento notable del número de conciertos educativos. En el presente artículo se analiza el modelo educativo diseñado por la Constitución española, con el fin de evidenciar que sus líneas directrices resultan incompatibles con interpretaciones de la libertad de enseñanza que propician la introducción de las lógicas de mercado en materia educativa.

Artikulu honetan, Konstituzio espainiarrak diseinatutako hezkuntza-eredua aztertzen da, agerian uzteko haren gidalerroak ez direla bateragarriak hezkuntzaren eremuan merkatuaren logikaren ezarpena bultzatzen duten hezkuntza-askatasunaren interpretazioekin.

Spain has in recent years become one of the states of the European Union with higher levels of school segregation. This reality has several causes, like an expansive interpretation by the public authorities of the right of families to the free choice of educational center, and a notable increase in the number of educational concerts. This article analyzes the educational model designed by the Spanish Constitution, in order to show that its guidelines are incompatible with interpretations of the freedom of education that encourage the introduction of market logic into education.
REINICIO DE ACTIVIDADES Y EVALUACIÓN AMBIENTAL. COMENTARIO AL ASUNTO C-411/17, STJUE (GRAN SALA) DE 29 DE JULIO DE 2019
Authors: GARCIA URETA AGUSTIN
Published: January 2021

Este trabajo examina la sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea en un asunto relativo a la autorización a dos centrales nucleares. La sentencia considera la aplicación de la normativa de evaluación de impacto ambiental (Directiva 2011/92) en el caso de actos legislativos, así como de la Directiva de hábitats. El Tribunal llega a la conclusión de que las autorizaciones concedidas se referían a un proyecto, en el sentido de la Directiva y que sus efectos debían haberse evaluado en el proceso legislativo. Igualmente, afirmó la aplicación de las normas sobre evaluación ambiental bajo la directiva de hábitats. A los efectos de esta directiva, el Tribunal afirmó que solo la necesidad de evitar una amenaza ¿real y grave¿ de corte del suministro eléctrico del Estado miembro afectado podía constituir una razón de seguridad pública que justificase la ejecución de los proyectos previstos.

Lan horrek Europako Batasuneko Justizia Auzitegiaren epaia aztertzen du, bi zentral nuklearren ekoizpenarekin jarraitzeko baimenari buruzko auzi batean. Epaiak aintzat hartzen du ingurumen-inpaktuaren ebaluazioari buruzko araudiaren aplikazioa (2011/92 Direktiba) lege-egintzen kasuan, bai eta Habitatei buruzko Direktiba ere. Auzitegiak emandako baimenak proiektu bati buruzkoak zirela ondorioztatu zuen, Direktibaren zentzuan, eta haren ondorioak legegintza-prozesuan ebaluatu behar zirela. Era berean, ingurumen-ebaluazioari buruzko arauak habitatei buruzko zuzentarauaren arabera aplikatzen direla adierazi zuen. Zuzentarau horren ondorioetarako, Auzitegiak adierazi zuen eragindako estatu kidearen hornidura elektrikoa eteteko mehatxu ¿erreal eta larria¿ saihesteko beharra bakarrik izan zitekeela aurreikusitako proiektuak gauzatzea justifikatzen zuen segurtasun publikoko arrazoi bat.

This comment analyses the judgment of the European Court of Justice in case regarding the authorization granted to two nuclear power stations. The Court considers the application of the environmental impact assessment Directive (2011/92) in the case of the adoption of legislative acts and also of the Habitats Directive. The Court concludes that the authorization related to a project as defined in the former Directive and that their effects should have been assessed in the legislative procedure. Likewise, the Court held that the rules on environmental assessment under the habitats Directive were also applicable. Within the context of this Directive, the Court held the only ground capable of constituting a public security ground for the purposes of that directive that would justify proceeding with the project was the need to nullify a genuine and serious threat of rupture of that Member State¿s electricity supply.
A kisebbségi jogvédelem nyelvezete: „az igazat mondd, ne csak a valódit”

The paper proposes an alternative (complementary) narrative for minority rights protection, which is based on dissociation and expressive language. Minority rights protection, besides the traditionalist thinking, should endeavour to identify the buzzwords that are familiar to the rule-of-law and human rights discourse of the 21st century. This quest should have two aspects: dissociation from the (fake) sovereignty associations and articulation of ethnic discrimination.

The event was moderated by Előd Pál. The participants presented their research studies related to the legal history of Transylvania and explored the legal and social situations of the past hundred years.
A Comparison of the Emotional Intelligence and Psychological Skills of National and International Taekwondo Referees

Officiating is a challenging role within sports that requires many psychological skills as well as emotional intelligence, the ability to recognize and moderate personal emotions and the emotions of others, while simultaneously processing the information to make an informed decision about the present situation. Although many studies have investigated these characteristics within athletes and coaches to improve sports performance, officials overseeing these competitive environments have been largely ignored. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological skills and emotional intelligence of national and international taekwondo referees. Participants were 10 international and 10 national referees who completed four measures of psychological skills and emotional intelligence. National referees scored significantly higher on emotional intelligence and most psychological skills. This was surprising, suggesting either national referees feel more emotionally and psychologically competent perhaps from more regular practice and/or international referees are more self-aware of their limitations and less likely to score themselves highly on a self-report measure. Future research should consider comparison of referees across genders, nationality, levels, sport, and other demographics.

Published: January 2021

En diferentes regiones de Latinoamérica la infección por T. cruzi y Leishmania se superponen, por lo cual se reportan infecciones mixtas circulantes, debido a esto; deben realizarse pruebas diagnósticas específicas para evitar reacciones cruzadas entre estas dos patologías.

Objetivo: Determinar patrones de fluorescencia que permitan la diferenciación entre Leishmaniasis, enfermedad de Chagas e infección mixta empleando epimastigotes de T. cruzi.

Metodología: Se empleó la técnica de Inmunofluorescencia Indirecta utilizando epimastigotes de T. cruzi (TcV autóctono) como antígeno figurado frente a un panel de muestras de suero codificados como A, B, C y D correspondientes a pacientes con infección por: Leishmaniasis (A), Infección mixta por Leishmania y Chagas(B), Enfermedad de Chagas (C) y sin ninguna de las dos infecciones (D).

Resultados: En los cuatro paneles de muestras se observaron diferentes patrones de intensidad de fluorescencia a nivel de membrana y núcleo de los epimastigotes de T. cruzi (TcV autóctono).

Conclusiones: La técnica de Inmunofluorescencia (IFI) con antígenos de epimastigotes de T. cruzi a demostrado utilidad en la diferenciación entre enfermedad de Chagas, Leishmaniasis y/o infecciones mixtas por ambos parásitos en aquellas zonas donde la coexistencia de ambas es habitual

Los rabdomiomas son tumores cardiacos fetales raros que pueden estar presentes hasta un 86 %. Se encuentran mayormente en el tabique interventricular, pared libre de aurícula o ventrículo y poco frecuente en las válvulas auriculoventriculares. Depende del tamaño del tumor para tener repercusión hemodinámica fetal.
Al examen ecográfico se observa lesión hiperecogénica en el tabique interventricular con protrusión a la cavidad ventricular derecha, acompañado de desviación leve del tabique interventricular y asociado al momento del examen con arritmia de tipo ventricular.
Formation of Microgrooving on C110 Casing Steel After Sulfide Stress Cracking Test
Authors: Mendibide Christophe , Duret-Thual Claude
Published: January 2021

NACE TM0177 is a commonly used materials qualification standard specifying how sulfide stress cracking (SSC) tests must be conducted and interpreted to verify the suitability of material application in sour service. This standard specifies through the so-called method A test (a tensile uniaxial environmental cracking test) that a material could be considered acceptable for sour service as long as no failure is evidenced after 720 h of exposure, and no initiation of environmental cracking is observed on the reduced length of the specimen after macrographic observations. After cross-sectional observations, so-called “microgrooves” can sometimes be evidenced on the surfaces of nonfailed specimens. Such features can hardly be interpreted as SSC crack initiation sites considering their shape and depth. Experience, however, shows that the formation of these microgrooves appears to be dependent on test conditions and type of load. This paper presents the results of investigations on the parameters influencing the microgroove formation on C110 steel after the method A uniaxial tensile SSC test. Test parameters influencing the groove formation are studied, and the results suggest that grooving is not SSC initiation for the testing conditions used in this work.
Deficiencia, discapacidad y minusvalía auditiva

Published: January 2021

Deficiencia, discapacidad y minusvalía auditiva son términos que engloban todas las características que pueden definir una pérdida auditiva como el estado físico, psicológico o social de un paciente hipoacúsico. El término deficiencia auditiva designa el cambio o desviación fuera de los rangos de normalidad que surge en las estructuras o funciones auditivas. La discapacidad auditiva se relaciona con las restricciones impuestas por la deficiencia en la capacidad para llevar acabo actividades dentro del margen de lo que se considera normal. Por último minusvalía auditiva es la desventaja impuesta por la deficiencia auditiva y que afecta a las habilidades comunicativas en la vida diaria. Ante un paciente hipoacúsico se ha de definir de la forma más exacta el defecto, la discapacidad y la minusvalía que se producen para planificar de la forma más acertada la rehabilitación audiológica.

Published: January 2021

Diversos estudios ponen de manifi esto la estrecha relación entre envejecimiento y descenso de la sensibilidad auditiva. Galicia ocupa el tercer lugar en el ranking de regiones españolas con mayor porcentaje (21.6%) de personas de edad (65 o más años) y es la comunidad autónoma que pierde población más rápidamente. A su vez, en nuestra comunidad existe un elevado porcentaje de personas de edad que refi eren problemas de audición (INEBase, 2010). Sin embargo, a pesar de esta evidencia estadística, no se ha realizado hasta la fecha ningún estudio audiológico. Objetivo: Establecer, a través de un programa piloto de screening desarrollado en Centros Gallegos de la Tercera Edad, las bases audiológicas que permitan caracterizar el estado auditivo de la población gallega mayor. Método: Evaluamos 402 sujetos (≥ 60 años). El protocolo audiológico consistió en una otoscopia, seguida de una Audiometría Tonal Liminar y el Test del Susurro. El diagnóstico de daño auditivo se realizó en base al criterio internacional de Ventry y Weinstein. Resultados: El 58% de los residentes presenta hipoacusia, siendo mayor su prevalencia en los varones (63,9% versus 54.7%). Encontramos diferencias signifi cativas en los umbrales promedio (p<0,05) y en la HFPTA(1-4KHz) (p< 0,05) entre géneros, así como en función de la edad. Conclusión: Considerando el cambio demográfi co que experimenta la sociedad gallega, nuestros resultados sitúan a la pérdida de audición entre los principales problemas de salud pública del futuro.
