Abstract: This article describes a qualitative, correlational, basic and synchronous research that addresses several aspects that have implications in the way in which the environmental conscience is developed in children of sixth grade of primary in the context of the Educational Project “Save your world”, Carried out in a public school in Xalapa, Veracruz. The objective was to understand and interpret how environmental awareness develops and how the meanings that shape it emerge. It was carried out through the Method of Symbolic Interactionism, from the Historical-Hermeneutic Approach, positioning itself in the Naturalistic Interpretative Investigative Paradigm. The results brings in knowledge in four dimensions for understanding the process in which the environmental conscience is developed, which can contribute to the reformulation of study programs and selection of didactic methodologies propitious to favor the environmental conscience from early ages and with that to help to a Sustainable education in line with current environmental issues.

Resumen: Este artículo describe una investigación cualitativa, correlacional, básica y sincrónica, que aborda diversos aspectos que tienen implicaciones en la manera en la que se desarrolla la conciencia ambiental en educandos del último grado de primaria en el contexto del Proyecto educativo “Salva a tu mundo”, realizado en una escuela pública de Xalapa, Veracruz. El objetivo fue comprender e interpretar cómo se desarrolla la conciencia ambiental y cómo emergen los significados que la conforman. Se efectuó mediante el Método del Interaccionismo Simbólico, desde el Enfoque Histórico-Hermenéutico, posicionándose en el Paradigma Investigativo Interpretativo Naturalista. Los resultados aportan conocimientos en cuatro dimensiones para la comprensión del proceso de desarrollo de la conciencia ambiental, lo cual puede coadyuvar a la reformulación de programas de estudio y selección de metodologías didácticas propicias para favorecer la conciencia ambiental desde edades tempranas y con ello contribuir a una educación sustentable acorde a las actuales problemáticas ambientales.

Simulation has been used for decades in the curriculum of nursing programs, and is an effective strategy for clinical training. This literature review should help to reflect on its evolution and the way this methodology could be incorporated in the curriculum, with integrated teaching models that can be evaluated to ensure an adequate and effective learning experience. Some dilemmas must be considered in its use, and account taken of the reality and its representation. These have implications on the essential nature of nursing: the caring of human being.

La simulación ha sido usada, desde hace décadas, en la enseñanza curricular de la enfermería, constituyéndose en una estrategia eficaz para la formación clínica. Una revisión de la literatura nos permitirá reflexionar al cuestionar su evolución, y cómo esta metodología puede ser incorporada en el currículo con modelos educativos integrados y evaluados para asegurar una enseñanza adecuada y efectiva. Hay que considerar los dilemas en su uso, y tener presente los límites de la realidad y su representación. Lo anterior tiene implicaciones en la naturaleza esencial de la enfermería: el cuidado de los seres humanos.

Neurofibromatosis or Von Recklinghausen's disease is a rare disease that affects the urogenital system in its visceral form. We report on one case where the patient had a recurring mass located in the vesicouterine space that caused irritative urinary symptoms, which was confirmed as uterine cervix neurofibroma following surgery and immunohistochemical study. We stress the importance of a wide resection of such tumors and the need for long-term follow-up due to the high recurrence index and the risk of malignant transformation.

Relatamos o caso de paciente do sexo feminino, com 32 anos de idade, com sintomas álgicos na região occipital, compressivos de forte intensidade e com irradiação frontal, supraorbitária e orbitária esquerda, relacionada a movimentos de flexão e extensão do pescoço, com característica lancinante e duração de até 9 segundos. A investigação radiológica, clínica, neurocirúrgica e neuropatológica evidenciou um meduloblastoma que aderia à membrana tentorial promovendo espessamento e compressão das estruturas venosas desta região. Atribuímos ao estímulo mecânico sobre estas estruturas vasculares tentoriais as manifestações álgicas envolvendo as conexões entre o trigêmeo e os primeiros segmentos medulares cervicais.

We report the case of a 32-year-old woman who complained of dull and compressing occipital pain, with unilateral radiation to the left frontal and supraorbital areas (of the sickenning type). The radiological, clinical, neurosurgical and neuropathologic investigation disclosed a medulloblastoma bulging and tickening the tentorium cerebelli. This case shows how mechanical stimuli of the structures innervated by the tentorial nerve can cause pain with characteristics of trigeminal and cervical involvement.
