Syllabus

WEEK 1
Bases de fisiología renal
En este módulo, se abordarán las principales funciones del riñón y su relevancia en la homeostasis del organismo. Para ellos es necesario conocer la fisiología renal, ya que facilita la comprensión de los procesos dialíticos como terapia de sustitución renal.

WEEK 2
Enfermedad renal crónica (ERC)
En este módulo, se abordará la enfermedad renal crónica terminal en sus diferentes estadios, así como sus elementos principales: factores de riesgo, marcadores de daño renal y decremento de la tasa de filtrado glomerular. Se hará énfasis en el retardo del daño renal y la conservación de la fusión renal residual, así como diferentes intervenciones de acuerdo con el estadio de la enfermedad renal.

WEEK 3
Bases y principios en diálisis peritoneal
En este módulo se abordarán las bases biofísicas que permiten realizar funciones como la depuración y eliminación de toxinas y exceso de agua del organismo. También se incluyen los elementos indispensables para realizar la diálisis, como las características y colocación del catéter peritoneal y los cuidados a llevar a cabo.

WEEK 4
Programa de capacitación para la enseñanza de la diálisis peritoneal
En este módulo, se abordará el programa de capacitación considerado como una competencia del personal de enfermería dentro del equipo de diálisis. Por ello, la enseñanza consiste en dar a conocer al paciente y su familiar los conceptos esenciales y poseer habilidades motoras. El inicio de esta terapia de sustitución renal es un punto crucial para el pronóstico de los pacientes con ERC en estadio 5, ya que la supervivencia del paciente depende en gran medida del estado de salud en que ingrese al programa.

WEEK 5
Sistemas de conectología
En este módulo, se abordarán dos de los sistemas de conectología más utilizados con el propósito de evidenciar las medidas de seguridad y conservación. Se enfatizará en las precauciones a seguir durante la desconexión, cebado, permanencia y conexión del sistema para lograr un procedimiento seguro para el paciente.

Plant Bioinformatics (Coursera)

The past 15 years have been exciting ones in plant biology. Hundreds of plant genomes have been sequenced, RNA-seq has enabled transcriptome-wide expression profiling, and a proliferation of "-seq"-based methods has permitted protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions to be determined cheaply and in a high-throughput manner. These data sets in turn allow us to generate hypotheses at the click of a mouse.

These are very unique times for brain research. The aperitif for the course will thus highlight the present “brain-excitements” worldwide. You will then become intimately acquainted with the operational principles of neuronal “life-ware” (synapses, neurons and the networks that they form) and consequently, on how neurons behave as computational microchips and how they plastically and constantly change - a process that underlies learning and memory.

Principles of fMRI 2 (Coursera)

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is the most widely used technique for investigating the living, functioning human brain as people perform tasks and experience mental states. It is a convergence point for multidisciplinary work from many disciplines. Psychologists, statisticians, physicists, computer scientists, neuroscientists, medical researchers, behavioral scientists, engineers, public health researchers, biologists, and others are coming together to advance our understanding of the human mind and brain. This course covers the analysis of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data.
