written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Los Life Support courses of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) taught during the first semester of 2022 by the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians (SEMG) he exceeded 300 students. Most of them have been given to doctors and nursesas well as residents of Family Medicine and Nursing and their tutors, and they are further proof of the strong commitment of the medical society so that the new health workers are trained in Life Support. But it has also been done health education in this matter to citizenship, people who are, on many occasions, the first responders in a cardiac arrest.
The Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians, through the Urgencies and Emergencies Group, has taught up to 26 courses for 315 students from January to July 2022, specifically, 16 courses on Basic Life Support and AED management (Automated External Defibrillator); 4 Immediate Life Support courses; 4 Advanced Life Support courses; a Basic Life Support Instructor course, as well as a Generic Instructor Course (GIC).
Training with international endorsement
The SEMG is one of the few national scientific societies accredited for years to give courses certified by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) in its different modalities. The medical society also has the endorsement of the Spanish Council for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CERCP), of which it has been a member for more than 10 years. This ensures that your courses meet a teaching methodology and quality standards endorsed at European and national level. This endorsement allows students trained with the SEMG to be able to include this training in your resumeeven if they carry out their work activity outside of Spain.
All the instructors of the SEMG Emergency Group are instructors of the European Resuscitation Council, which makes it possible to maintain a common line of work and ensure that teaching maintains the quality standards required by the European Council and by the Spanish Council.
The Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians already has scheduled new Life Support courses for autumn, specifically, Immediate Life Support in October and Advanced Life Support in November, whose information and registration can be consulted on the website of the medical society semg.es.
Know how to act in a cardiac arrest
Another of the group’s objectives is to promote education in life support from schools and the general population. “It is essential for improve survival from cardiac arrest that we are all trained in life support”, according to the head of the SEMG Emergency and Emergency Work Group, Marta Martínez del Valle.
In Spain more than 25,000 cardiac arrests every year, more than 60 percent take place in the patient’s home, and their survival is, according to the most recent studies, around 10 percent. “Only through training and research plans will we ensure that patients who present cardiac arrest have a higher chance of surviving. Hence the commitment of our society to promote this health education to the highest percentage of our citizens”, according to Dr. Martínez.
“As it governs in the chain of survivalall the links of it are essentials. Activating the Emergency service, starting resuscitation through quality compressions and performing early defibrillation are actions that we should all be able to carry out in the face of this vital emergency, regardless of whether we are medical or not”, according to the SEMG representative.

Rihanna, Donald Trump, Thomas Pesquet, what is this obscure link that binds them?
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
The world of stars and show business is a mysterious world. Many people are attracted to this world because of the glamor and excitement it offers. However, this world also has a dark side. Many stories of betrayal, heartbreak and tragedy occur in this industry.
While the world of stars and show business can be exciting, it’s also important to be aware of the dangers that come with it. Today, it is not necessarily a question of dangers but simply of taking big risks.
An interconnected world
Whether you are a great sportsman, a popstar, a rapper or an actor, it is very likely that your circle of friends is made up of very homogeneous people, it is common to say that the circles of very popular people are often the same, and it is quite true. We can take the famous friendship between Lewis Hamilton, Justin Bieber and Neymar, while they come from very different worlds.
This homogeneity comes from the fact that the habits of these very rich and famous people are more or less the same: they drive the same cars, live in the same places, frequent the same regions on vacation, the same hotels, etc.
As a result, the stars thus develop common habits, and create a large circle in which they all meet, which inevitably results in creating links between them.
Information in advance
Without being conspiratorial, it is very likely that our friends the stars are much better informed than the rest of the population.
Firstly because the money they have gives them a significant advantage over the advisers they can afford to employ, secondly because these are much closer to power than you and me, and therefore have more enlightened decisions, and above all information before “ordinary” people.
Trump, Rihanna, Thomas Pesquet linked by the taste for risk
These three people are probably familiar to you, we have a recognized astronaut, a popstar and a former president. Although nothing brings them together at first glance, they are all linked by the choice of their investment.
Indeed, they have all invested heavily in a digital currency that is still somewhat unknown, I am of course talking regarding Bitcoin. Created in 2009 by an anonymous person, no one knows who really started it, but what is certain is that the first users will quickly become rich, since Bitcoin will go from less than $1 in 2011 to almost 70 $000 in 2021.
While the vast majority of financial advisers still advocate caution on these assets, it is interesting to note that people who are probably better advised are making this type of decision, by investing colossal sums in these still very opaque digital products.
Would they have some information that we don’t have?
Savings and more profitable FFMM, changes in the market with a rate close to 10%
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Internalized. This is how experts define the upward move made this Wednesday by the Central Bank, where it raised the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) by 75 basis points to 9.75%. And although the market expected a higher rise, since the beginning of the process of increases the market has felt its effects.
According to what was communicated by the Issuer, “the deterioration of global financial conditions has been faster and more intense than expected, reducing the price of raw materials and the market perspectives on global growth”, a scenario that “has led to a strong depreciation of the peso. And they anticipate that these events, in the short term, will cause “an additional rise in domestic prices, in a context in which inflation and its persistence are already high.”
Luis Flores, general manager of STF Capital, points out that the rise was valued by the market during the day, and that “the only volatility has been seen in the exchange rate, mainly due to the sharp drop in copper.” Thus, “we do not see other systemic risks as indicated by the BC”, he comments.
Along these lines, Guillermo Araya, manager of studies at Renta 4, comments that “the market had already internalized this rate. For this reason, we saw a dollar declining during the followingnoon. The high inflation data in the US led us to expect a rate hike of this magnitude or even up to 100 basis points all at once”.
In fact, during the day the exchange rate reached $1,031.23, although at the end of the session it closed at $1,011, closing for the second consecutive day above the $1,000 ceiling.
According to Martina Ogaz, an economist at EuroAmerica, “swap rates projected an MPR that would reach a maximum of 11%, a scenario that given the statement is highly probable. On the side of very short-term fixed income rates, there may be some adjustment, albeit modest. Regarding the exchange rate, I think volatility will continue and it will remain at current levels, since there was no announcement on that side either, beyond reiterating what we already knew from the previous statement.”
In a report sent to its clients, Bice Inversiones indicated that “we estimate that the MPR might reach a ceiling in the range of 10% to 11%. In this scenario, from the point of view of investors in local fixed income, we reiterate the importance of maintaining a greater weighting in assets in UF, in this context of greater pressure on short-term prices”.
But what has changed since the process of raising rates by the Central Bank began? For Ogaz, on the one hand “it may be that the UF is more expensive given the persistence of the (inflationary) shock. I estimate that the UF will continue to be a profitable asset given that we will have maximum inflation during this second part of the year”.
For his part, Germán Guerrero, a partner at MBI, points out that “in general, the money markets did not pay anything, now they do. Another thing is in real terms, which is still negative, but at least leaving the money in the checking account today is very expensive.” ”.
Along these lines, Guerrero comments that “here there is a very relevant issue of real versus nominal returns. The most relevant topics are economic and political perspectives. Something more or less than TPM is not relevant. Here the question is whether Chile falls into an abyss or not”, because in the country “things have been getting more complicated. EChile n the issue of the pandemic cost much more than the rest of the world with benefits to the population that on average tripled the average in the globe, that account is paid, to which is added the uncertainty of the new constitution.
According to Araya, “inflation in the US has been a negative surprise and the dollar has appreciated multilaterally, that is, with respect to all global currencies and other assets. The foregoing in light of expectations that the FED will have to be more aggressive in its rate hikes in the remainder of the year. At the local level, despite everything, there has been a fall in the rate of long-term bonds”.
According to the statement from the governing body, the economic framework scenario presents high risks. And for this reason, it describes that “the deterioration of global financial conditions has been faster and more intense than expected, reducing the price of raw materials and the market perspectives on global growth”
