We worked with 38 sixth grade students belonging to a Colombian educational institution. The research was carried out under a mixed approach, where the quantitative approach allowed to establish the variation of the student’s performance through a pre and post-test. The qualitative approach was used to characterize the students’ reading habits, to identify the type of memes they use on social networks, and to know their perception of the didactic strategy. The results show that the didactic strategy mediated by memes strengthened the students’ critical reading skills since there was a high learning gain of 0.859.","PeriodicalId":35684,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta Medica de Caracas","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49279308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approximately 5 % of cases of pleural effusion occur in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. Although quite rare, it is associated with higher morbidity and lower survival rates. The mechanism is not fully understood, but the most widely accepted pathogenesis involves the presence of portal hypertension, diaphragmatic defects, and negative intrathoracic pressure. In this case, the pleural effusion occurs because of the direct displacement of peritoneal fluid through the small openings in the diaphragm into the pleural space.
