The BCN Science Festival is celebrated on the 26th and 27th of October, a festival that aims to bring science closer to the public through talks, workshops, demonstrations, debates, etc. The venue, which will take place at Moll de la Fusta, is part of Barcelona's Science City program Barcelona. This year there will be 190 activities, facilitated by more than 250 participants from more than one hundred research centers, universities, companies, associations and professionals of scientific divulgation. In this edition, Vall d'Hebron will participate by offering six activities.In the first place, to the activity "We have an emergency! Visit the pediatric ambulance, "organized by the Vall d'Hebron pediatric SEM team, will teach how it is a pediatric ambulance inside and explain the care activity that we carry out. Electromedicine material such as the portable ecographer will also be available, which will allow us to show the heart of the smallest in real time and their electrical activity through regular monitoring. This activity will take place Sunday from 11:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.On the other hand, to the activity "We have an emergency! Help us? Do you know us? ", Driven by the same team of the Pediatric SEM, there will be some role dynamics that will represent the action of the population in an emergency. From the acronym PAS (protect-alert-help) different situations will appear, much more common than they seem, and will work with small and large about what should be its role and how it can be helped by specialists in these cases. The activity will be held on Sunday at 15.25 and at 4:00 p.m. In the children's workshop "Clinical trial... What is it?" Will be simulated participation in a clinical trial to prove the efficacy of a drug. Children will be distributed in three groups - researchers, nurses and patients - and will follow the steps to be taken to launch a trial protocol: signing of informed consent, medical visits with a record of constants, the taking of medication, the collection of data and the final analysis. In addition, a trial will be simulated in which a study drug or placebo (sweets) will be administered which presumably improve the patient's aim. After the administration of sweets, children will throw darts and it will be necessary to determine if the aim has increased. The workshop will be held on Sunday at 12.15. This workshop will be given by Mrs. Vanessa Casares, Coordinator of Clinical Trials of the Research Unit of the Intensive Medicine Unit of the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital and member of the Shock, Organic and Resuscitation Dysfunction Research Group (SODIR) of the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR), the Dra. Sofia Contreras, Doctor of the Intensive Medicine Unit and member of the VHIR Shock, Organic and Resuscitation Dysfunction Research Group (SODIR), Ms. Joana Aina Reñé Reyes, nurse of the Intensive Medicine Unit of Vall d'Hebron University Hospital and Ms. Ana Carolina Murayama, nurse of the Research Unit of the Intensive Care Unit of the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital and member of the VHIR Shock, Organic and Resuscitation Dysfunction Research Group (SODIR).The other three activities will be stimulated by researchers from the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO). The first of all, entitled "What is this about mutations," will allow you to get closer to the world of genetics and mutations. Through a game, you can discover what DNA is, how it defines who we are and what happens when you suffer from any alteration. This workshop will take place on Saturday at 1:25 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.Also on Saturday, at 4:15 p.m., VHIO Orland Díez, Sara Gutiérrez, Sandra Bonache and Alejandro Moles researchers will promote the workshop "Do you want to learn to read DNA?", In which you will discover how DNA sequences are read in the laboratory to find out if there are genetic mutations associated with an illness and what are the most basic alterations of our hereditary material.By last, Sunday at 11.15 a.m., researchers from the VHIO Estela Carrasco and Adrià López will offer the talk "Can genetic studies tell me if I will have cancer?". It will be explained what inheritance patterns are hidden behind this illness, in what way family history of cancer is studied and whether there is a possibility of knowing the predisposition to suffer from genetic studies. If so, the following question will be raised: is it better to know or ignore it?Check the full https://www.barcelona.cat/barcelonaciencia/ca/13a-festa-de-la-ciencia festival program.
