abstract = {Objective: To assess the test-retest reliability of a questionnaire to determine nonspecific low back pain (NLBP) and its characteristics in schoolchildren aged 7 to 12 years.



Methodology: An evaluation of diagnostic technologies was done in 84 schoolchildren (9.2 ± 1.6 years), 50 % girls, selected for convenience. The questionnaire was administered by individual interview, twice, with an interval of 2 to 4 days. We calculated the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (CCI 2.1) to quantitative variables and Cohen ´s and Weighted Kappa Index to qualitative variables with their respective confidence intervals at 95 % (CI95 %).



Results: The prevalence was 20.2 % and 17.9 % in the first and second evaluations, respectively. The reliability of the questions that determine the prevalence of NLBP was very good (k = 0.85, 95 % CI 0.69 - 1.00, n = 84); The number of days with NLBP in the last month got fair reliability (CCI = 0.36; 95 % CI -0.009-0.70), while the duration asked by four categories of response was very good (k = 1.00; IC95 % 1.00-1.00), the intensity assessed by Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale was very good (ICC = 0.82, 95 % CI 0.54 - 0.93). In relation to consulting a professional for back pain, Kappa indices ranged from k = 0.46 and k = 1.0. In the second evaluation, the children showed a shorter duration of pain (3.9 days) and lower intensity (2.0).



Discussion: The importance of reliability evaluation of the questionnaire to determine DLI and its characteristics is that there can be a valid measure unless the measure has some degree of reliability. The questionnaire to determine NLBP and their characteristics in schoolchildren aged 7 to 12 years are sufficiently reproducible for use in population studies.},

Method: A non-experimental descriptive study was carried out in the foundation for cancer relief (Acronym in Spanish AVAC). To measure LQ, the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire was applied. Results: The study population consisted of 40 subjects of which 45% (n = 18) were hospitalized and 55% (n = 22) were in the outpatient program, the average age was 60.98 ± 11.5 years, the predominant gender is female (72.5%), the average time of cancer evolution 4.68 ± 5.17 years, breast cancer was predominant in females and prostate cancer in males, the overall average EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire score was 60 ± 9.3 points, the types of cancer that showed the highest scores were lymphoma, colon cancer and thyroid, while the lowest score was multiple myeloma and prostate cancer. Discussion: In relation to the measurement of LQ, the importance of the evaluation is clearly established, since it is a subjective phenomenon. Subjects with high scores must be the object of special care and concern when planning health care activities.},

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study. The study population consisted of 587.446 records of volunteer blood donors, of which 13.133 showed reactivity to hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C; odds ratios were calculated to establish factors associated with coinfection. 



Results: The mean age was 38.55 ± 12.4. The odds ratios for simultaneous coinfection with other blood bank markers and analyzed variables were membership scheme 1.1 (1.04 to 1.36), gender 1,4 (1.22 \textendash 1.61), and age 4.2 (3.54 to 4.99) for hepatitis B, and age 0.6 (0.38-1.00) and gender 5.1 (3.07-8.78) for hepatitis C.



Conclusions: This study demonstrates that age is a risk factor for simultaneous reactivity with other screening markers in blood banks. A different behavior was found between gender according to existing coinfection studies. },

Results: The study population consisted of 21 professors in the physical therapy program with an average age of 37.05 years, the majority was female, the teaching experience was 9.20 years, and only 23.8% of professors had donated blood at some time in their life. Regarding the promotion of donation in classrooms, the donation was considered important by all professors. Among the reasons for not donating blood, “Scared of having your blood drawn” was the most important, and among reasons for donating, the main one was advertising.

Discussion: Professors are important actors in the process of promoting blood donation in the student population.},

abstract = {Objective: To estimate the inter-rater reliability of the Body Alignment Systematic Observation Form (BASOF) applied to young adults in a private university in Bucaramanga (Colombia).



Methodology: A study of diagnostic tests was performed in a sample of 123 college students, aged 18 to 29, who met the inclusion criteria. Three examiners (an expert in posture, a physiotherapist with experience and a last semester student of physiotherapy) performed the postural examination, analyzing 7 printed photographs: one posterior, two right laterals, two left laterals and two anterior. We studied 63 deficiencies, which were registered in the BASOF.



Results: The inter-rater reliability to determine postural deficiencies ranged from poor to acceptable. The level obtaining the best reliability according to the global Kappa index was the posterior one in which 26.5% of the deficiencies obtained a kappa index greater than 0.40. Scoliosis in S variable had the highest reliability with a kappa value of 1.00, obtained on the item expert vs student on the posterior plane.



Conclusions: The low inter-rater reliability leads to the conclusion that postural examination by direct observation method is not suitable for use in research. However, it allows the practitioner to detect marked postural deficiencies and therefore should not be excluded from the physiotherapy examination. Moreover, the BASOF can become a useful tool in the future academic career in physical therapy to establish methodically the process of observing body alignment.},

Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out through self-report survey in a sample of 433 students randomly selected between April and May 2010. Simple and multiple Poisson regression analyses were carried out and, crude and adjusted prevalence reasons (PR) were calculated. 



Results: We found that being male (PR = 1.62; 95%CI: 1.21-2.18) and knowing Colombian legislation about tobacco use (PR = 1.75; 95%CI: 1.25-2.45) increases the likelihood of smoking onset during college. In contrast, knowing that smokers generally die younger than nonsmokers (PR = 0.72; 95%CI: 0.53-0.98), that most patients with lung cancer are or have been smokers (PR = 0.64; 95%CI: 0.46-0.89), and considering smoking is a bad habit (PR = 0.58; 95%CI: 0.42-0.80) or drug dependence (PR = 0.48; 95%CI: 0.27-0.82) are associated with a lower likelihood of smoking onset during college. 



Conclusion: Knowledge about the effects of smoking decreases the onset of smoking during college life.},

The aim of this study was to establish the main motivations for voluntary donation in the population that attended a gathering point of Bogot\'{a} (Colombia). A descriptive transversal study was designed with a sample of 500 adults (28.8 ± 10.4 years), 58% female. A survey was done for data collection. The variables used were age, sex, socioeconomic status, residence for the last five years and the main motive for blood donating. A descriptive and a bivariate analysis applying the chi2 test were executed. The software used was Stata 11.0. The main motives for the donation were the promotion (18% CI 95% 14.7-21.7) and to save lives (14.4% CI 95% 11.4-17.8). People coming from socioeconomic levels I and II donated mainly motivated by the promotion (33.0%) and those from the socioeconomic levels III, IV and V donated mainly to save lives (38.4%). The interviewed population gave clear information about the aspects that motivated voluntarily and willingly blood donation, as to promote more donations and save lives, among others.},

Materials and methods: a study of evaluation of diagnostic technology was done. Both tests were administered by the same evaluator to 111 adults older than 59-year-old (70,4 ± 7,3), on two occasions, with an interval of time between measures of 4 to 8 days. In the analysis, test-retest reliability was determined using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient ICC= 2,1 with their confidence interval 95% (CI 95%) respective. The agreement level was established by the Bland and Altman method. 



Results: the test-retest reproducibility of the 30-s Arm Curl test was very good ICC= 0,88 and to the Chair Stand test was good ICC= 0,78. The agreement was very good for both tests of muscle endurance. The CI 95% were between -3,8 and 3,2 stands to 30-s Chair Stand test and between -3,1 and 2,8 curls to 30-s Arm Curl test. 



Conclusion: the 30-s Arm Curl and 30-s Chair Stand test have good reliability and agreement to assess muscle endurance in older adults functionally independent.},
