The university-business linkage in the continuing education of teaching tutors without a pedagogical background
The Cuban higher education system demands a professional with a solid education. In this training process, teaching tutors without a pedagogical background who work in the context of the university-business linkage play a leading role. This article reflects on the continuing education of teaching tutors without a pedagogical background based on the theoretical-methodological deficiencies detected in the attention and follow-up regarding their pedagogical preparation for fulfilling their duties, which limits their professional performance in accordance with their potential and needs. The theoretical methods used were: analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, and historical-logical; and as an empirical method: document analysis. Through these, it was possible to determine the current trends and regularities of the reviewed topic. As a result, the importance acquired by the continuing education process of these professionals was revealed when considering the university-business linkage, based on two parallel and interrelated processes: the productive process and the educational process. The need for continuing education for teaching tutors without a pedagogical background was confirmed, so that they can demonstrate a set of knowledge, attitudes, and skills that allow them to develop their work.

Influence of cultural conception and community context on local child care
In Cuba, the study of child care in daycare centers has gained relevance in recent decades; it currently reveals specificities generated by cultural gender constructs and the sociocultural context, which typify the ways of life of the people who perform this work according to the sense and meaning that the act of caring represents for them. Understanding the work carried out by child caregivers necessarily involved recognizing the established differences among them; therefore, it was important to delve into care from the distinctive cultural standpoints of the art of caring. For these reasons, the article's objective was to determine the cultural components involved in the practice of child care in daycare centers, taking into account the community context of the city of Bayamo. Theoretical methods such as historical-logical, analysis-synthesis, and induction-deduction were used for this purpose; empirical methods such as scientific observation and triangulation; as well as the techniques of questionnaires and interviews. These allowed for the characterization of the study communities, taking into account the differences that distinguish them, and the determination of the main cultural components that condition the forms of child care: the educational level of the caregiver, the cultural gender constructs, and the sociocultural context anchored in the communities where the daycare centers are located.

Anxiety and temporomandibular disorders: a brief approach to their study for a better quality of life
Anxiety and depression are closely related to the appearance and evolution of temporomandibular disorders. In particular, dental anxiety nowadays constitutes a psychopathological problem of high prevalence in Latin American and Caribbean countries, with importance in the dental area, particularly with temporomandibular disorders. The article analyzed the relationship between anxiety and temporomandibular disorders in order to promote strategies that contribute to achieve a better quality of life in people. Theoretical methods (analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction) and empirical methods (analysis and critique of sources as well as scientific observation) were used. Emphasis was placed on a group of psychological references for the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders, as well as on the need to promote strategies for the prevention and management of anxiety. As a result, it was obtained that the bidirectional interaction anxiety-temporomandibular treatment generates a negative cycle if the treatment is not systematic; that the early identification of anxiety symptoms and their preventive treatment reduce the risk of developing temporomandibular disorders in predisposed individuals, which improves the quality of life and reduces the burden of oral and psychological disorders; the implementation of strategies for the treatment of anxiety associated with temporomandibular disorders requires the systemic integration of the multidisciplinary team for the diagnosis, orientation, treatment and evolution of patients.

Strategy for the socio-humanistic training of medical students at the Military Hospital of Holguín
Education in the socio-humanistic field for medical students is considered an urgent need in view of the current challenges of building a more equitable and inclusive society. The objective of this article is to propose a strategy that contributes to the socio-humanist education of medical students of the Military Hospital of the Army Dr. Fermín Valdés Domínguez, Cuba. A qualitative research was carried out, based on theoretical (historical-logical, analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction) and empirical (documentary analysis) methods. The choice of these methods allowed for a qualitative analysis and interpretation of the content presented, in addition to facilitating the application of the laws and principles of dialectical materialism, including the systemic structural-functional approach. In spite of the fact that the curricula of the medical career in Cuba have integrated in a transversal way socio-humanistic elements, the research shows that there are still deficiencies in their effective implementation. As a proposal to address this situation, a strategy was designed to strengthen socio-humanistic training in medical students, not only as a curricular requirement, but as an integral and formative process that influences all aspects of their professional and personal development.

Case report of critical aortic coarctation
Aortic coarctation is a potentially critical congenital heart disease, in which there is a narrowing of the lumen of the descending aorta. This condition causes, depending on its severity, inadequate blood flow to the systemic circulation so that, on certain occasions, the flow to the portions irrigated by the descending aorta is determined by the presence of the ductus arteriosus. The aim of this article is to describe the clinical presentation of a newborn with a diagnosis of critical aortic coarctation from the current medical position. For this purpose, the clinical case of a patient treated in the perinatal intensive care unit of the Fe del Valle Ramos Hospital in Manzanillo, Granma, was presented. The clinical, echographic and electrical diagnosis of a critical heart disease was made in secondary health care and his subsequent optimal referral to the William Soler Pediatric Cardiocenter in Havana, where corrective surgery was performed to restore cardiovascular functionality. For discussion, a review of the literature was carried out using search engines, meta-search engines and databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and Scopus). The relevance and novelty of approaches in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to aortic coarctation as a sufficiently developed area in the knowledge of medical sciences is confirmed from a literature review based on an information search strategy.
