Investigadores de Odontología de la CEU UCH de Valencia relacionan el drástico descenso de la proteína CRP y la progesterona, transcurridos dos meses tras el parto, con la disminución de problemas periodontales en las mujeres
Los investigadores Ignacio Mínguez, Lucía Gil y Fernando Llambés, coautores del estudio.
Los problemas periodontales que afectan a la salud de las encías, como la gingivitis y la periodontitis, son, junto con la caries, la causa más común de pérdida de dientes entre la población. En el caso de las mujeres embarazadas, el incremento de estos problemas del tejido periodontal, que envuelve al diente, se ha asociado en diversos estudios al aumento de la progesterona. Ahora, investigadores del Departamento de Odontología de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera de Valencia han publicado en Journal of Periodontology uno de los primeros estudios que demuestra la relación, no solo con el entorno hormonal, sino también con el cuidado oral que debe mantener la mujer y el control que debe llevar el odontólogo para que la situación no empeore durante este periodo tan predispuesto a las enfermedades periodontales. Dos meses después del parto, al normalizarse los niveles de progesterona y de proteína C reativa (CRP), se observa cómo los parámetros de medición periodontal vuelven a la normalidad sin variar los hábitos de higiene.
Presentación de los nuevos diseños de Free Design Bank, en el nuevo taller de producción para Jimudu Women Group en Lamu (Kenia).
A group of professors and students have collaborated in the construction and equipment of a handicraft atelier for women in need of the «Jimudu Women Group» in the Lamu district in Kenya
Professor of Design at CEU UCHManuel Bañó and former students Carmen Guijarro and Nacho Errando, along with historian Amparo Balbastre, have been supported by several groups of students and volunteer designers
The company where the designer Carmen Guijarro works subsidized the project presented in association with Free Design Bank and Afrikable, under the title «Cooperation through the design for the consolidation, training, technical and economic development of Afrikable NGDO artisan groups in the district of Lamu (Kenya)»
Presentación de los nuevos diseños de Free Design Bank, en el nuevo taller de producción para Jimudu Women Group en Lamu (Kenia).
Since last summer, the «Jimudu Women Group» in Kenya – which in Swahili means «a group of women who value themselves» – and other Afrikable NGDO groups have a new manufacturing place, equipped with nine industrial sewing machines and an extensive collection of new designs to produce. The Free Design Bank project, led by CEU UCH DesignProfessor Manuel Bañó, has contributed to the achievement of this new objective for this group of Kenyan artisans, with whom they have collaborated since 2012: a new production building equipped in Lamu, new sewing and design classes for training and a new collection of designs carried out by students and professionals so that, with their resources and the materials at their disposal, they can make a living with the benefits of their sale.
The volunteer designers, design students of CEU UCH and other schools that collaborate with the project, have worked under the direction of Manuel Bañó dividing themselves into three teams, who have prepared design proposals from recycled plastic bottles that consumed in Lamu; exclusive sandal designs for the Massai women’s group; and proposals of different objects using Kanga cloth – worn by Swahili women as skirts, handkerchiefs or to carry the babies to the back – and Kikoy cotton fabric in smooth colours or multicolored stripes, used in the traditional dress of Swahili men.
In this mission to Kenya for the launching of the new Free Design Bank design workshop, Professor Bañó has been accompanied by the industrial designer (trained at CEU Valencia) Carmen Guijarro, responsible for project management, and Amparo Balbastre, coordinator of the work of volunteers, patterns and sewing. The heads of the NGO Afrikable Merche Cascajero and Lola Serra have directed and supervised the construction and equipment of the workshop. And former CEU student of Audiovisual Communication Nacho Errando has been in charge of the photographic documentation and the recording of a video about the project.
A consolidated and recognized project
Since 2012, the designs created by CEU UCH students for the «Jimudu Women Group» and «Lamu Recycling Solutions», among others, of the NGO Afrikable, are marketed in Spain through the NGO’s online shop and can also be found in Fair Trade stores, guaranteeing fair remuneration, no intermediaries and decent production conditions for these Kenyan artisans. Last year the collection of Free Design Bank designs for disadvantaged artisan groups in Senegal and Kenya was exhibited at the Barcelona Design Museum, the only design-themed museum in Spain, as part of the collective exhibition on open design «Rehogar».
This same project has also been highlighted by the professional magazine Architecture and Design as one of the ten best initiatives of solidarity design in Spain in 2015. Also the specialized magazine Experimenta dedicated last April an extensive report to Free Design Bank, which has been awarded by the Association of Designers of the Valencian Community (ADCV) and by the UV and has been included in the book Design for Social Innovation DESIS, Tokyo Zokei University of Japan.
Free Design Bank has had a consolidated track record of more than 16 years in the collaboration with artisan producers of disadvantaged regions, to ensure a decent way of life to them. The creativity of CEU UCH students in the design and manufacture of competitive products has supported groups of artisans in extreme need in poor countries such as Peru, India, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Ecuador, Colombia, Tanzania, Cuba, Mali and Kenya. All of them have been able to sell their products more and better thanks to this charity project in design directed from the Technical School of Design at CEU by professor Manuel Bañó.
• Los autores del estudio recomiendan el uso de manómetros durante la intubación de los gatos, ya que administrar la presión exacta durante la ventilación manual es más complejo en esta especie animal que en otras.
CEU Cardenal Herrera University professor José Ignacio Redondo has collaborated with a team of veterinary anesthesiologists at the University of Sydney to conduct this study, published in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia The authors of the study recommend the use of manometers during intubation of cats, since administering the exact pressure during manual ventilation is more complex in this species than in others.
Endotracheal intubation is a basic safety procedure in general anesthesia. However, this practice can lead to complications, with a particular problem being the air pressure of the inflated cuff surrounding the tube itself, which acts as a seal within the trachea. If the air pressure in the cuff is too high, this could cause damage to the trachea. Researchers at CEU Cardenal Herrera University and the University of Sydney have developed a cat airway simulator for the purpose of improving air pressure management during intubation by veterinary anesthesiologists.
• Los autores del estudio recomiendan el uso de manómetros durante la intubación de los gatos, ya que administrar la presión exacta durante la ventilación manual es más complejo en esta especie animal que en otras.
The simulator has also been used to train veterinary students during their rotations in the area of Anesthesiology. Use of the simulator has achieved a reduction of almost 30% in the number of interventions in which the air pressure is too high.
CEU UCH Veterinary Professor José Ignacio Redondo has undertaken this study in conjunction with three professors from the Department of Anaesthesia of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the University of Sydney: Donna M. White, Alastair R. Mair and Fernando Martinez-Taboada. The results obtained with the use of this simulator have been published in the most prestigious international journal in the field: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia.
Feline airway simulator
According to the co-author of the study and professor of Veterinary Medicine at CEU UCH José Ignacio Redondo, «intubation is a fundamental and critical safety measure in anesthesia. Sealing the trachea is key to preventing air leaks, airway obstruction, or aspiration pneumonia. However, it is a risky maneuver that may cause injury. In clinical settings, there are two main methods to verify that an effective seal has been achieved: palpation of the pilot balloon connected to the cuff or listening to the animal’s breathing for any possible air leaks. When looking to improve student and professional expertise in this area, it is a great advantage to have a simulator like the one designed in this study.»
This simulator of a cat’s trachea and lungs, created by Dr Martínez-Taboada, is based on a model obtained from a comparison of multiple computerized tomography (CT) images to define the relevant dimensions, such as the average diameter of a cat’s trachea. The use of the simulator in the study enabled the effectiveness of two different methods of checking for the appropriate air pressure in the cuff to be tested, with the resulting pressure values measured using a manometer for later comparison.

Skill, better than experience
As Martinez Taboada of the University of Sydney explains, «the manometer accurately measures the air pressure administered to the cat’s airway to determine whether it is below the pressure required for effective ventilation of the animal during the procedure, or it is excessive, which may pose a risk of injury to the trachea. In this way both experienced and trainee veterinarians can see their progress in the mastering of this technique.»
The Spanish and Australian researchers participating in the study compared the results obtained by experienced veterinarians and those of inexperienced students, both at the beginning and at the end of their rotation period. For Martínez-Taboada, » practice with the simulator was able to reduce the number of interventions that exceeded appropriate levels of air pressure by almost 30%, which shows that its use can improve the skills of those training to be veterinarians.»
Intubation: more complex in cats
The results of the CEU UCH/University of Sydney study also show that administering the exact pressure to the cuff during ventilation in intubated cats is more complex than in other animal species, at least as compared with those results from a previous study in dogs. For this reason, the researchers recommend incorporating the use of the manometer for the intubation of cats, to be able to ensure that the pressure in the cuffs is in the proper range, thus minimizing the risks, especially with regard to high pressures.
In fact, cats are the animal species in which most complications have been reported as a result of excessive air pressure in the cuffs during intubation, causing damage to the trachea. In contrast, the incidence of complications due to low cuff pressure in this species is less notable.

Passion, determination and hard work – that is how Alma Paula Aranda, a physiotherapist who has found her true calling, has become a true pioneer in social responsibility. After the recent success of her inclusive sports event, I Salón del Deporte Inclusivo, and the launch of the magazine Insport, Alma is now working on a new project: “to turn the Valencia region into the number one area for adapted cycling in Spain.”
Alma was one of the first graduates in Physiotherapy at CEU UCH and in this interview she talks about the “magic” of her profession and the reasons behind her commitment to inclusive projects: “it’s the way in which I can strive to normalize functional diversity, making our society less disabled.”
Where does this commitment to a more inclusive society come from?
Working with people with a disability is what made me fall in love with this profession, a long time before I actually began my degree. It’s through them that I learnt to take diversity for granted and so it surprised me to then see how society very often isn’t designed for everyone. When you have one or two weekly sessions with someone for years, a bond is created between you and there’s a space in which you can speak openly about everything. I’ve always thought that many of the difficulties my patients have can be put down to the lack of thought that’s put into the creation of our environment. And it’s partly their “fault” then that I now argue loudly for a universal design at every level. Organizing and participating in a range of inclusive projects is the way in which I can strive to normalize functional diversity, making our society less disabled.
What’s your verdict on the this event that you’ve organized in Valencia, the I Salón de Deporte Inclusivo?
It’s been a success. Despite the difficulties that have appeared along the way and the lack of resources, we’ve managed to pilot an event which we hope will be taken as an example to follow for adaptive sports in Valencia. It’s all thanks to the help of a range of organizations, such as the Fundación Deportiva Municipal, the UPV, the Colegio de Fisioterapeutas, and also Germán García, because without him this would have been impossible, and then also all the clubs who offered activities and the companies who supported us. There’s a lot still to learn, but we know that we’ve been able to plant a seed which could now grow into a great project.
What response are you seeing from society?
It’s a challenge for us to attract the interest of society in these events and to get people to come to them. Inclusive projects have to make an impact on everyone, not just on a specific group of people who you already know are interested in sport or the issue itself. Those of us who already form part of this world know the value and benefits of inclusion – what we need to do is to convince everyone else. We have to stop trying to persuade other people and start to show them the potential that these events have.
Setting up a company or organizing an event like this is not an easy thing to do. How do you go about working for social development?
It’s been easier now than it was for me when I set up my own private clinic. That’s probably because I have a lot more experience now than when I opened it ten years ago. Although the field I’m working in and the strategies I need to employ are very different, I can see how much I can achieve through hard work. You don’t have that kind of self-confidence when you’re twenty-four.
“IT’S VERY EXCITING TO BELIEVE IN A PROJECT AND THEN TO MAKE IT A REALITY. AND IF IT’S ALSO SOMETHING WHICH HELPS MAKES THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE, THEN JUST IMAGINE.”
What’s next?
I’m now involved in a very special project: to turn the Valencia region into the number one area for adapted cycling in Spain. For the project, I’m working with Ruth Aguilar (who was awarded the Valencian regional government’s Medalla de Oro al Mérito Deportivo in 2014 and is a member of the ONCE charity’s Paralympic trainer group), Cristina García, President of Asociación TetraSport (which supports participation in sport by people with a disability) and Mauro Xesteira, President of the Asociación Emprendedores Sin Barreras (which supports entrepreneurship by people with a disability). All this is backed by the Asociación Tetrasport. We don’t have all the details yet, but one of the things we’ll be doing is bringing one of the stages of the Spain’s main adaptive cycling event, the Copa de España, to Valencia. And then I’ve always got some crazy ideas going around my head that might one day become great project, but you need to find the right time to bring them to fruition.
“I KNEW THAT I WANTED TO HELP PEOPLE, HEAL THEM, TAKE CARE OF THEM AND HELP THEM TO FEEL BETTER.”
Why did you study physiotherapy?
When you’re a child, you think about doing every new thing that come across: you want to be a dancer, a firefighter, a fisherwoman, or a singer. After that phase, I knew that I wanted to be a physiotherapist, although I didn’t know that that was what that job was called until I got older. I knew that I wanted to help people, heal them, take care of them and help them to feel better. With time, I discovered that that was physiotherapy and so, here I am, many years later. I can say that I did it and that I made the right choice.
You’ve done two master’s courses and around twenty specialization courses concerning physiotherapy, adaptive sports, and therapies involving animals. How necessary is it to keep up with the latest developments?
I’m passionate about working with people with disabilities, especially children, and perhaps I’ve cast too wide a net with my training. In any case, I think it’s important for all professionals to keep on learning. It’s the only way to avoid stagnating in your work, to keep your motivation and to avoid getting stuck in routines which end up making the treatment you give feel impersonal.
What do you remember about your time as a student at the CEU Cardenal Herrera University?
I’ve got great memories of my time there. My year was the first to graduate in Physiotherapy at CEU, sixteen years ago now, and so it was all very exciting. Both for us because of the change from the sheltered life of school and for the lecturers who were trying to establish a new study programme at the University.
I wasn’t at CEU long and during the three years of my diploma there, I didn’t become very close to many people. I’ve always been very independent. I’ve stayed in contact with some of them, but maybe not as much as I would like. Gloria, Lucía, Nacho… I can also say I studied alongside Miguel Ángel Silvestre, and that I gave him a massage during our practical training. He wasn’t in my lectures, but people always find that funny.
I’ve got great memories of my lecturers Pedro Rosado, Javier Martínez Gramage and Miguel Ángel Vidal. Maybe they’re not aware of it, but they were an important part of giving that push forward that you need when starting to build a life of your own.
“I ALWAYS FELT THAT i WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND THE UNIVERSITY HAS HELPED ME TO BE THE PERSON i AM.”
Congratulations to Alma for all your work and all the best for the future!

Presentación de los nuevos diseños de Free Design Bank, en el nuevo taller de producción para Jimudu Women Group en Lamu (Kenia).
Desde este verano, el grupo de mujeres de Kenia “Jimudu Women Group” -que en idioma swahili significa “grupo de mujeres que se valen por sí mismas”- y otros grupos de la ONGD Afrikable, cuentan ya con un nuevo local de producción, equipado con nueve máquinas de coser industriales y una amplia colección de nuevos diseños que fabricar. El proyecto Free Design Bank, que dirige el profesor de Diseño de la CEU UCHManuel Bañó, ha contribuido a la consecución de un nuevo objetivo para este grupo de artesanas keniatas, con las que colabora desde 2012: un nuevo edificio-taller de producción totalmente equipado en Lamu, nuevas clases de costura y diseño para su formación y una nueva colección de diseños ideados por estudiantes y profesionales para que, con sus recursos y los materiales a su alcance, puedan ganarse la vida con los beneficios de su venta y capacitación comercial.
«At CEU we offer our students a space of knowledge from which to learn how to live and how to contribute to human progress and to the improvement of our society.» This was stated by the Rector of University CEU Cardenal Herrera, Rosa Visiedo, at the opening ceremony of the academic year 2017-2018, which was held this morning at the Palau de la Música in Valencia.
The academic event was preceded by a Eucharist officiated by the Cardinal Archbishop of Valencia, Antonio Cañizares. In his homily, the Cardinal recalled the role of the University in the integral education of people, «who must be constructors of a new humanity and be the vehicle of a culture of life, love and peace.»
The Great Chancellor of the University and president of the San Pablo-CEU University Foundation, Carlos Romero, presided over the opening of the course with the Rector of University CEU Cardenal Herrera. Josefina Bueno, General Director for Universities, Research and Science of the Valencian Government was accompanying them in the presidential table; the national Vice-Secretary of the Catholic Association of Propagandists, Andrés Ramos; José Manuel Amiguet, Secretary General and Vice Rector of Communication of CEU; the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs of this university, Gerardo Antón; and the author of the Master Lecture, Gonzalo Rubio, professor of the Faculty of Law, Business and Political Sciences of CEU.
A truly international university
«We already are a truly international university, in which 1 out of 4 undergraduate students comes from another country», assured Rosa Visiedo. The Rector, who has been very satisfied by the increase in students (16% more in the last four years, with a total of 11,400 students, 2,000 of which are new students), highlighted the upward trend of international students: «In the same period, we have doubled the number of our international students, around 2,300 this course that starts today, coming from more than 70 countries; and of these, 570 are new undergraduates».
The international vocation of University CEU Cardenal Herrera has also materialized in partnerships with institutions in Europe and the United States, «which will allow us to be part of consortia to present research projects within the Horizon 2020 Program of the European Union and the National Institutes of Health in the United States. We offer our researchers the opportunity to carry out research projects in renowned institutions and, with the Visiting Scholars Program, we intend to consolidate ourselves as a receiving center for relevant researchers in their field», said Visiedo.
Innovation for progress
«In this time of change, our time, individuals, institutions, companies and society as a whole, in order to survive, have to learn at least as fast as the environment changes and, in order to progress, do it at a faster pace», said Rosa Visiedo. And for CEU, she added, «innovating is the light that illuminates this learning process».
«Today more than ever, said the Rector, it is essential to promote in our students a culture of learning, the passion to learn, based on curiosity, the experience of progress, the feeling of self-efficiency. It is important that they know that they are going to have to be learning their whole lives, not just in the workplace, but personally, emotionally, technically.»
«Doing things differently does not make us less a university, but more», said the Rector, who also recalled that everything that is done «acquires value insofar as it is translated into proposals for action at the service of society«.
During his speech, the Great Chancellor of University CEU Cardenal Herrera, Carlos Romero, has put in value the achievements of the university during the last year, and has recalled the social character of the Foundation, committed to the society it serves. Finally, he underlined his vocation to «educate people ‘useful for life’, as said by Father Ángel Ayala, founder of the ACdP in 1909, of whom we now celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth.»
The General Director for Universities of the Valencian Government, Josefina Bueno, has congratulated CEU for the numerous projects undertaken by students and teachers aimed at improving society.
Memory and Opening Lesson
The session began with the reading of the Report of the Academic Year 2016-2017, by the Secretary General of the University, José Manuel Amiguet, who highlighted the commitment of the university to promote talent through investment in scholarships that have been awarded to more than 1,400 students. «Among them, he stated, students with total gratuity thanks to the CEU Merit Program Scholarships. Brilliant young people who do not pay anything to study their entire career in CEU «.
On the other hand, the Opening Lecture, «Macroeconomics, finances and political uncertainty», has been dictated by Dr. Gonzalo Rubio, professor of the Faculty of Law, Business and Political Sciences. In his speech, the professor has called for the political authorities to be aware of the great impact that financial shocks have on the real economy.
«They should closely monitor the degree of aggregated risk aversion of the economy and not stay away from the relevant implications of the countercyclical behavior of risk aversion. Their actions on the control of uncertainty that affects both the economy and politics would be a step in the right direction», he said.
Innovative and supportive
During the opening ceremony, the work of members of the university community in several strategic areas of University CEU Cardenal Herrera was also recognized: innovation, solidarity and the dissemination of research and knowledge.
Thus, the annual Awards for Innovation and Improvement in Teaching and Services of the University have distinguished in the category «Teaching Innovation» the Escuela de Salud project, pioneer in the Valencian Community, for its capacity to generate new spaces for learning and practical training of students that combine training in technical skills aimed at improving society through education in health.
The University has also awarded a second prize ex aequo to the projects Keep Knowing: A metaphor for the acquisition and retention of knowledge and Together in excellence: We learn by teaching. With two honorable mentions for projects From the classroom to practice and Building Networks.
In the category of «Best Practices in Services», University CEU Cardenal Herrera has awarded the ex aequo prize to the Simulaciones Accede project, for its innovation as a proposal and the value potential it can bring to students in their transversal skills training that improve their employability options; and Base Operativa del 360 Academic Program, a cross-cutting initiative involving several services and both teachers and administrative staff. Also, the jury has awarded a mention of honor in services to the project El taller experimental como herramienta para la cumplimentación del apartado Sistemas and Criterios de Evaluación de la Guía Docente.
At the level of solidarity, the university has recognized the work of the numerous international humanitarian missions in which its students participate (Malawi, Philippines, Senegal, Ghana and Nicaragua), as well as social service initiatives within the region, including health and education programs for the elderly, people with disabilities or training initiatives for children belonging to vulnerable groups.
Finally, CEU UCH has also honored the commitment of teachers with the dissemination and access of citizens to science and knowledge.

Furthermore, given the relevance of the participants in this forum, CEU Cardenal Herrera University has submitted for consultation the project of the Degree in Security that is being developed.
Una carrera de 210 kilómetros, 5 días y un objetivo: dar visibilidad a las enfermedades raras. Esto es #RunningToSantiago, el reto solidario al que se enfrenta el próximo 1 de octubre, Nicolás Mateos, estudiante de 5º curso del Grado en Farmacia de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera. Una iniciativa solidaria que nació inicialmente “para motivar a los jóvenes a hacer deporte”, pero que hoy es un llamamiento a la sociedad para apoyar los proyectos e iniciativas de FEDER, la Federación Española de Enfermedades Raras, que une a toda la comunidad de familias con enfermedades poco frecuentes, haciendo visibles sus necesidades y proponiendo soluciones para mejorar su calidad de vida.
– ¿Cómo nació este reto solidario?
Nicolás Mateos: Este reto surgió de una idea que tuve en abril. Estaba haciendo el Camino de Santiago andando, y me decidí a realizar una etapa de 42kms corriendo (Villafranca-Triacastella). Al ver que realmente, con mi esfuerzo ese día, podía motivar a los peregrinos y a muchas personas por las redes sociales, decidimos junto a uno de mis patrocinadores Pedro Marimón (antiguo alumno de Farmacia del CEU) de MarimonTcuida, crear el reto RunningToSantiago. El reto se creó inicialmente para motivar a los jóvenes a hacer deporte, pero nada más nacer comprendimos que podíamos hacer algo más grande para la sociedad, recaudando fondos para las enfermedades raras.
– ¿Cómo conociste a FEDER?
N.M.: El profesor del CEU José Antonio Solves Almela me habló de la labor de FEDER en la sociedad y me puso en contacto con la Delegación en Valencia. Una vez comprendí que FEDER era la voz de millares de personas que muchas veces no tienen las ayudas necesarias para su enfermedad, decidimos intentar ayudarles donando 3€ de cada camiseta conmemorativa del reto que vendemos, además de dar visibilidad a estas enfermedades durante el reto.
– ¿Es la primera vez que realizas un reto de estas características?
N.M.: No es la primera vez que realizo un reto de ultradistancia, pero en el caso de RunningToSantiago nos propusimos que realmente fuera difícil de llevar a cabo, además que fuera un número redondo (5 maratones en 5 días). Los últimos retos que he realizado han sido 100kilometros en 36horas por AVAPACE y 54kilometros con 4500 de desnivel en 10 horas por las montañas de Extremadura.
– ¿Cómo te preparas para afrontar esta prueba?
N.M.: Gracias a mi nutricionista Pedro Marimón, llevo una estricta alimentación desde hace unos meses para cubrir el requerimiento calórico que me supone los entrenamientos. El 80% del entrenamiento es correr, preparar el cuerpo para correr 5 días seguidos largas distancias. Semanalmente suelo correr 60/70 kilómetros, además de hacer largas tiradas de bicicleta de carretera e incorporar gimnasio al entrenamiento. Lo realmente difícil del reto es que al acabar el tercer día con las piernas cargadas y agotadas, sabes que te quedan 84 kilómetros. Por esto, estos meses hemos intentado reducir esa sensación de agotamiento en las piernas después de correr una larga distancia, para tenerlas preparadas para el día siguiente.
“No solo corremos por nosotros, en ese momento somos la voz de miles de personas”
– Supongo que también hay que preparar la mente para correr esos 210 kilómetros en 5 días…
N.M.: Sí, es lo más importante, los corredores sabemos que el trabajo mental dentro de una carrera es prácticamente lo más importante. Por esta razón el equipo de RunningToSantiago hará turnos para que no tenga que correr solo en ningún momento de los 210 kilómetros. Cada uno en sus posibilidades, algunos corren 5, 10 o 21 kilómetros al día. Sabiendo esto y teniendo la presión de que no solo corremos por nosotros, sino que en ese momento somos la voz de miles de personas creo que la parte mental la tenemos cubierta.
– ¿Cómo está respondiendo la sociedad a este llamamiento por las enfermedades raras?
N.M.: Muy bien. Por una parte, las instituciones gallegas están intentando facilitarnos todos los recursos posibles además de difundir el reto por los pueblos del camino. Por otra parte, la gente está colaborando con la compra de la camiseta conmemorativa del reto, sobre todo asociaciones y grupos de corredores. Estamos realmente contentos. En este sentido, me gustaría agradecer a las empresas patrocinadoras del reto su ayuda, porque sin ellos este reto no sería posible. 42krunning por producir las camisetas del reto y darnos todas las facilidades posibles, Physiorelax, Milola Natural y vitaminas Leotrón por aportar todos los productos necesarios para correr. Y por supuesto, al centro de estética y spa MarimonTCuida que es nuestro principal patrocinador.
“El día 5 de octubre, para la entrada a Santiago, sí que contamos con varios corredores que nos ayudarán a completar el camino”
– Entonces, ¿se animarán otros corredores a acompañarte durante el recorrido?
N.M.: Sí, sobre todo en los tramos de inicio y final del reto. Muchos corredores se han interesado pero no han podido correr por coincidir con días laborables. Sobre todo, el día 5 de octubre para la entrada a Santiago sí que contamos con varios corredores que nos ayudarán a completar el camino.
– ¿Qué te gustaría encontrar al final de esta larga carrera a beneficio de FEDER?
N.M.: Pues por mi parte mientras que no falle nada con eso estaré totalmente contento. Por parte del equipo de RunningToSantiago queremos que este reto tenga repercusión en la sociedad y en la ayuda a las enfermedades raras. Toda la ayuda que estamos recibiendo es suficiente para sentirnos totalmente satisfechos. Pero bueno, un buen plato de pulpo gallego sí que me comeré al llegar a la Catedral de Santiago.
Juan F. Peris, responsable del Servicio de Farmacia de la Residencia de Mayores La Cañada, ha defendido la necesidad de apostar por un modelo asistencial centrado en la persona
Estudiantes de los Grados en Farmacia y Medicina han asistido a la conferencia «Visión integral y multidisciplinar en el tratamiento del paciente geriátrico» que ha inaugurado las sesiones del ciclo “Los Miércoles hablamos de Salud en la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera” en este curso académico.
The event, held this Thursday at 7pm, will count on the presence of the author of CaixaForum Zaragoza and the Chair of Architectural Composition at UPV, Carmen Jordá
El profesor de Arquitectura del CEU UCH Alfonso Díaz Segura, coordinador de la monografía “Carme Pinós. CaixaForum Zaragoza”, editada por TC Cuadernos y presentada en el COAV.
The Professional Association of Architects of Valencia – Colegio Territorial de Arquitectos de Valencia (CTAV) is hosting this Thursday the presentation of the monograph coordinated by professor of Architecture at University CEU Cardenal Herrera Alfonso Díaz Segura, under the title «Carme Pinós. CaixaForum Zaragoza «, edited by TC Cuadernos. This is a compilation of the documentation of this architectural project, which also includes a conversation between Alfonso Díaz, Head of International Relations at CEU Valencia, and Carme Pinós, winner of the Spanish Architecture Award by the Spanish Board of Architects in 1995 and one of the Spanish architects with a greater international projection, with projects in Spain, France, Austria and Mexico.
The monograph, coordinated by Professor Díaz, covers all the unique architectural aspects of the CaixaForum building in Zaragoza by Carme Pinós: from its two large exhibition halls, connected by escalators, the sloping garden towards the basement and the terrace-veranda , panoramic and open to the landscape, as well as the holes of peculiar geometry that favor the active relation with the environment, a habitual feature in the architecture of Carme Pinós. The monograph brings together the documentation of the project, together with texts by Carmen Jordá and Carlos Meri, as well as an interview by Alfonso Díaz to the Catalan architect. More information on the presentation of the monograph, on the CTAV website.
Question: Carme Pinós is one of the Spanish architects with the greatest international projection. What does this project mean for CEU Valencia?
Alfonso Díaz: For the University it is an honor to have the presence of Carme Pinós, who has come to give lectures with a resounding success of attendance. In addition, we have had some CEU Architecture students doing internships in their study.
Q: What would you highlight about the conversation with Carme Pinós that you have gathered in this monograph?
A.D .: For any architect, the passion for what he does is essential, because it is not simply a work, but a way of life. The interview with Carme Pinós was influenced by her strong passion, making it clear that she really enjoys her career. Having the ability to create an impact on the physical environment in which we live and its inhabitants is a constant and motivating challenge, but also a great responsibility.
Q: How can an Architecture student benefit from this kind of documentation on a specific project, such as the one that compiles the monograph on the work of Pinós that you have just edited?
A.D .: Architecture must be lived in order to understand it. Before the work everything is revealed. If the physical visit is not possible, you have to go to the books. In this case the goo thing about the book is that it is not an explanation of the work through third parties. It is the architect and the building itself who speak and explain, through words, drawings and images, the architectural principles and the technical details that shape it.
Q: And from the professional point of view, what does it mean to present the book at the Professional Association of Architects of Valencia?
A.D.: This is a great opportunity given by the Professional Association of Architects of Valencia. It helps to carry out a work of cultural diffusion and to use their facilities to reach society.
Cinco estudiantes de cuarto curso de Enfermería de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera de Castellón han participado activamente en la sexta edición de la Semana de la Salud y Gente Mayor de Nules.
Fernando Pagan, Marina Beltrán, Claudia Bolos, Sheila Montañés y Danaide Penades han atendido a los numerosos ciudadanos que se han acercado al punto saludable instalado por el CEU. Allí les han tomado la tensión y han medido su índice de masa corporal, entre otros indicadores de salud, además de proporcionarles consejos útiles y sencillos para llevar una vida saludable.
Esta novedosa iniciativa de la Escuela de Salud CEU pretende, según Isabel Almodóvar, coordinadora de Enfermería del CEU de Castellón, que los ciudadanos sean conscientes de la importancia de revisar su salud periódicamente y de practicar hábitos saludables.
‘He aprendido mucho, no solo a nivel técnico sino sobre todo en lo que se refiere a la comunicación y el trato con las personas’
Un aprendizaje único
Para los futuros enfermeros, la experiencia no ha podido ser más satisfactoria. «Me ha parecido una iniciativa muy interesante, y la respuesta de la gente ha sido muy buena, todos querían participar», destaca Sheila Montañés. La estudiante considera que esta actividad de promoción de la salud no solo es útil para los ciudadanos, sino que aporta una formación y motivación extra a los estudiantes de Enfermería, «ya que te permite tratar de un modo más cercano a las personas y eres más autónomo que en unas prácticas tradicionales».
Fernando Pagán también está muy satisfecho con la experiencia: «He aprendido mucho, no solo a nivel técnico sino sobre todo en lo que se refiere a la comunicación y el trato con las personas», asegura. «Esta actividad te ayuda a desenvolverte tú solo, trabajando de cara al público. Aunque estuvieran allí la coordinadora y otros profesores de Enfermería, añade, eras tú el que debías atender a cada persona, comunicarte con ella, responder a sus preguntas y explicarle los resultados».
El futuro enfermero que, como su compañera, asegura que repetirá experiencia si tiene oportunidad, también está muy contento con la respuesta de los ciudadanos, de quienes destaca su interés y gratitud.
Una iniciativa pionera en la Comunitat
Mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas desde las perspectivas de prevención y de promoción de la salud es el objetivo con el que nació el curso pasado la Escuela de Salud de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera.
Se trata de una iniciativa pionera en los estudios universitarios de Enfermería en la Comunidad Valenciana, ya que los alumnos de esta titulación podrán aplicar sus conocimientos teóricos con pacientes reales, especialmente jóvenes y personas mayores, a través de talleres y otras actividades de promoción de hábitos saludables.
Los estudiantes de Enfermería del CEU han desarrollado diversas acciones de educación para la salud en numerosas poblaciones de la Comunidad Valenciana. Entre ellas, Elche, Castellón, Rojales y Santa Pola.
El acto, este jueves a las 19:00h, contará con la presencia de la arquitecta autora del CaixaForum Zaragoza y la catedrática de Composición Arquitectónica de la UPV, Carmen Jordá
