ABSTRACT The article is part of the research project «Integrative conception of the promotion of health and natural sciences in the initial and permanent teacher training», from the University of Pinar del Río «Hermanos Saíz Montes de Oca». It is an experimental research, in its pre-experimental variant and aimed to develop a pedagogical strategy that contributes to the comprehensive education of sexuality with a pedagogical professional approach, in the students of pedagogical careers. The methodological base was assumed as the dialectical-materialist method, which supported the use of methods of the theoretical level, used in the determination of the theoretical referents of the research and empirical level methods were used, which allowed to verify the current state of integral education of sexuality, in the students of the sample. The designed strategy is based on a system of principles, in which the principle of double intentionality of the integral education of sexuality in the training of teaching staff is emphasized. Its implementation in practice allowed the appropriation of content related to sexuality as a personality dimension, placing the student at the center of the process, such as being sexed, both individually and professionally, with the mission of contributing to education of the sexuality of others, a task that is part of his role as a teacher, which proved the validity of the proposal.

RESUMEN El artículo es resultado del proyecto de investigación «Concepción integradora de la promoción de salud y las ciencias naturales en la formación inicial y permanente de profesores», de la Universidad de Pinar del Río «Hermanos Saíz Montes de Oca». Es una investigación experimental, en su variante pre-experimento y tuvo como objetivo elaborar una estrategia pedagógica que contribuya a la educación integral de la sexualidad con enfoque profesional pedagógico, en los estudiantes de las carreras pedagógicas. Se asumió como base metodológica el método dialéctico-materialista, que sustentó el empleo de métodos del nivel teórico, utilizados en la determinación de los referentes teóricos de la investigación y se emplearon métodos del nivel empírico, que permitieron constatar el estado actual de la educación integral de la sexualidad en los estudiantes de la muestra. La estrategia elaborada se sustenta en un sistema de principios, en el que se destaca el principio de la doble intencionalidad de la educación integral de la sexualidad, en la formación del personal docente. Su implementación en la práctica posibilitó la apropiación de los contenidos relacionados con la sexualidad como dimensión de la personalidad, ubicando al estudiante en el centro del proceso, como ser sexuado, tanto en el plano individual como profesional, con la misión de contribuir a la educación de la sexualidad de los otros, tarea que forma parte de su rol como docente, lo que demostró la validez de la propuesta.

ABSTRACT The article is part of the research project Vocational career guidance for entry into pedagogical careers, from the University of Pinar del Río "Hermanos Saíz Montes de Oca". Its objective was to develop a strategy of pedagogical professional guidance with a group approach, which contributes to the development of pedagogical professional interests in students from the first to third year of the Mathematical-Physical career. It is an experimental research, in its pre-experiment variants, in which the dialectical-materialist method was assumed as the methodological basis, which supported the use of methods of the theoretical level, used in the determination of the theoretical referents of the research; methods of the empirical level and psychological techniques were used that as a whole allowed to verify the current state of the pedagogical professional interests, in the students from the first to the third year of the Mathematics-Physics career. The elaborated strategy is based on a system of principles, a categorical system and the moments through which the process of pedagogical professional guidance passes. Its implementation in practice allowed the appropriation of the contents related to the pedagogical profession and the teacher's work, the emotional identification and assumption of a positive attitude in the different activities that were carried out, which demonstrates the validity of the proposal.

RESUMEN El artículo forma parte del proyecto de investigación «La orientación profesional vocacional para el ingreso a carreras pedagógicas, de la Universidad de Pinar del Río «Hermanos Saíz Montes de Oca». Tuvo como objetivo elaborar una estrategia de orientación profesional pedagógica con enfoque grupal, que contribuya al desarrollo de intereses profesionales pedagógicos en los estudiantes de primero a tercer año de la carrera Matemática-Física. Es una investigación experimental, en su variantes preexperimento, en la que se asumió como base metodológica el método dialéctico-materialista, que sustentó el empleo de métodos del nivel teórico, utilizados en la determinación de los referentes teóricos de la investigación; se emplearon métodos del nivel empírico y técnicas psicológicas que en su conjunto permitieron constatar el estado actual de los intereses profesionales pedagógicos, en los estudiantes de primero a tercer año de la carrera Matemática-Física. La estrategia elaborada se sustenta en un sistema de principios, un sistema categorial y los momentos por los que transita el proceso de orientación profesional pedagógica. Su implementación en la práctica posibilitó la apropiación de los contenidos relacionados con la profesión pedagógica y labor del docente, la identificación afectiva y asunción de una actitud positiva en las diferentes actividades que se realizaron, lo que demuestra la validez de la propuesta.

Given the suspected role of mycobacteria in the establishment of disorders with an autoimmune background and joint damage, a study was conducted to analize whether rheumatic symptoms were likely to be present in tuberculosis (TB) patients. To this end, 330 patients with a bacteriologic confirmation of tuberculosis were investigated for the presence of arthritic complaints. The latter were recorded in five of them with rheumatic symptoms mostly involving interphalangeal and metacarpophalanged joints, and preceding the clinical manifestations of the TB illness. Three out of these five patients remained arthritic by the time of the bacteriologic conversion and fulfilled the criteria for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. In the two remaining patients sputum negativization was accompanied by a disappearance of rheumatic manifestations. These patients were also assessed for their peripheral levels of major T cell subsets as well as for the presence of autoantibodies. Comparisons with a series of non-arthritic TB cases, rheumatoid arthritis patients, and controls revealed that presence of rheumatic manifestations was associated with a different profile of autoantibody formation and T cell subset changes. Evidence recorded in the present study indicates that joint affectation in TB is a rare event, being rather the exception than the rule.
