Authors: Romantsov Mikhail N , Cherednikov Eugene F , Glukhov Aleksandr Anatolevich , Fursov Constantine O
Published: August 2018

Relevance of research. Acute gastroduodenal bleeding is remaining a difficult and largely unsolved problem up to day. The fundamental importance in treating this category of patients is an endoscopic hemostasis. The decisive point in this problem is the most stable hemostasis and preventing a recurrence of a hemorrhage. In this regard, the search of new solutions and the development of known methods of treatment of the gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding is an important issue.
 
Aim of research. To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment protocol of patients with the gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding by applying combined endoscopic insufflations of hemostatic agents and a diovin as an integral part of a complex therapy.
 
Materials and methods. The research is based on results of treatment of the patients with the gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding being in a medical setting at the departments of surgery at Voronezh city clinical emergency hospital №1. During the treatment of the main group (59 patients) there was used an integrated approach with the usage of powdered hemostatic agents of gelplastan and lyophilisate NovoSeven in combination with diovin in the endoscopic treatment of gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding. There were used the traditional well-known methods of the endoscopic hemostasis without the usage of hemostatic agents and absorbent grains in treatment of the control group (56 patients).
 
Results and discussion. The evaluation of results of patients’ treatment with gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding was performed according to the figures of the final hemostasis, the frequency of recurrent bleeding, the prevention of emergency operations, the rates of mortality, the duration of hospitalization. The developed protocol of the patients’ treatment with gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding with the usage of combined the endoscopic insufflation of two hemostatics and diovin makes it possible to achieve the maximum persistent hemostasis at 94.9% of patients, to reduce the risk of recurrent hemorrhages by 2.5 times, to prevent emergency operations and, as a result, to reduce the lethality.
 
Conclusion. The usage  of new technologies of endoscopic hemostasis by the hemostatic pneumoinsufflation  gelplastan and lyophilisate NovoSeven in combination with diovin in the treatment of patients with gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding allows to reduce the risk of recurrent hemorrhage from 12,5% to 5,01% (by 2,5 times), to prevent emergency operations, to reduce the lethality from 3,65% to 1,7% (by 2,1 times) and to reduce the period of staying in the hospital from 10,2 to 7,4 bed days (p<0.05).

Published: August 2018

Background. Gynecomastia is one of the most famous and common paraneoplastic syndromes. With the growth of equipment clinics with modern diagnostic equipment, including the CT, increases the detection of breast pathology in men. There is the need for a correct interpretation of the data about the state of male breast by radiologists, and the attending physician, oncologist, mammologist, urologist, endocrinologist.
The purpose of the study to identify possible differences in frequency and radiation pattern of gynecomastia in patients with cancer and without it and also to follow the dynamics of the development of gynecomastia in patients with cancer, to identify the probable causes of the progression of gynecomastia in patients with cancer.
Materials and methods. It's data of 400 chest CT of men who were screened and treated for the different oncological pathology in Voronezh regional clinical oncological hospital in 2013-2015. And also data of 150 chest CT of men who were screened and treated for the various diseases (excluding oncological diseases) in the Voronezh regional clinical diagnostic center and Kursk regional clinical hospital in 2013-2015 was used.
Results. The data of the frequency of occurrence various types of gynecomastia in patients with cancer pathology and without it was obtained. The frequency of occurrence of gynecomastia in patients with cancer depending on the localization and morphology of tumor was analyzed. The dynamics of the gynecomastia in patients with cancer was tracked and possible causes of its progression in patients in this group were identified.
Conclusions 1. Gynecomastia is a frequent pathology revealed by chest CT in men as suffering from oncological disease and without it.

Gynecomastia significantly more often found in patients suffering from prostate adenocarcinoma and renal cell carcinoma.
Surgical injury may be one of the reasons for the development of gynecomastia.
Feature of gynecomastia in patients with cancer is its asymmetry. When the detection of asymmetrical gynecomastia by chest CT is recommend the further examination of patient to exclude him cancer pathology, special attention should be paid to the prostate gland and the kidneys.
Upon detection of the progression of gynecomastia in a patient with a history of cancer need further examination to exclude cancer pathology progression.

Published: August 2018

The influence of three types of low-intensive laser radiation to healing of lower extremities venous trophic ulcers in 82 patients was estimated (class VI, CEAP classification): the continuous radiation helium-neon laser (subgroup I), the modulated infrared laser radiation (subgroup II) and the combined laser radiation (pulse infrared radiation and continuous radiation of visible range) (subgroup III). The therapeutic laser devices such as "AFDL-1" (wavelength – 0,63 microns), "Scalar-1/40" (wavelength – 0,89 microns) and "Ulan-BL-20" (lengths of waves: 0,44; 0,52; 0,57; 0,64 and 0,89 microns) were used for conservative treatment of trophic ulcers.  The planimetric methods such as evaluation of the ulcer defects area and speed of its epithelization in dynamics were used for objective comparison of different types of laser radiation efficiency. Due to this treatment in all patients the complete healing of trophic ulcers was achieved. In patients of subgroup I the average speed of epithelization was 0,26 ± 0,05 cm²/days, in patients of subgroup II – 0,17 ± 0,06 cm²/days, in patients of subgroup III – 0,33 ± 0,05 cm²/days. The advantages of laser radiation in the visible range in isolated (helium-neon laser) and combined options are revealed. The best results are received in case of combined laser radiation generated by portable devices which provide distribution of low-intensive laser radiation within all effected tissues. The combination of traditional medical methods with combined laser radiation is expedient in conservative treatment of lower extremities venous trophic ulcers.

There are 3-10 % cases of chronic osteomyelitis among abscessed surgical disorders. Osteomyelitis develops in 3-25 % of cases after open bone fractures and in 1-8 % of cases after closed fracture surgical treatment, along with this chronic osteomyelitis relapses happen in 20-35 % of cases, which, in turn, needs definitive treatment to the extent of abscission. Staphylococcus aureus dominates in cases of chronic osteitis. The role of proteuses, enterococcuses, bacteroids, peptococcuses and other microorganisms grows. Osteomyelitis is a type of purulent surgical infection in which a macroorganism interacts with a pathogenic microflora. The osteomyelitis clinic differs from the phase, form and pathogenetic process. There are primary and secondary (osteomyelitis, acute and chronic phase, toxic, septicopyemic and local forms. The methods of treatment of osteomyelitis are conservative and surgical, and also their combination.

Despite the active development and introduction into clinical practice of new groups of antibacterial drugs, the basis for the treatment of purulent-septic diseases of soft tissues is the opening and surgical treatment of a purulent focus. When we analyzing the literature data on the treatment of purulent soft tissue diseases, the following factors can be identified that determine the progression of the purulent-inflammatory process even with an adequately uncovered purulent focus: the presence of common co-morbid diseases that reduce the body's resistance (infectious diseases and metabolic disorders) and attachment to the pathological process multidrug-resistant virulent hospital flora [1, 2]. Progression of the purulent-necrotic process takes place along anatomically determined paths of pus spread, and therefore the absolute necessity of firm knowledge of the topographic anatomy of the human body is obvious. Perhaps the most complete and thorough description of the clinical picture and methods of surgical treatment of phlegmon of the upper limb and thorax, based on anatomical principles, is given in the classic work of V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky [3], since the first publication of which it has been almost a century. Currently, due to the prevalence of antibiotic resistance even of "wild" microorganisms, the prevalence among infectious diseases affecting the immune status of the organism (hepatitis, tuberculosis, HIV), as well as the pandemic of diabetes, the urgency of surgical treatment of common purulent processes in the region upper extremity and thorax again increased.
We present the clinical case of progression of the purulent process on the left upper limb from the lower third of the arm in the distal direction to the Pirogov-Paron space and in the proximal direction to the submentoral and pre-lobular cell spaces.

In 1602 he received the degree of doctor of medicine, but in 1603, the second doctoral degree at Cambridge University and a license to practice a medical practice in England. In 1604 he was elected a candidate, and in 1607 – a member of the Royal College of physicians, later takes up the chair of anatomy and surgery, where she worked until death. In 1609 Harvey became the Junior, and later chief physician of the hospital of St. Bartholomew's in London. In 1618 William Harvey becoming court physician of James I, and in 1832 Charles I. In 1645 William was appointed Dean of Merton College (Oxford). In 1646 Garvey returned to London, where he devoted himself entirely to his studies. My thoughts about circulation he first gave the lecture, read them in London in 1618, and published in 1628. Research Garvey has revealed the importance of the pulmonary circulation and found that the heart is a muscular organ which provides the injection of blood into the circulatory system. In 1651 he published his second treatise "Studies on the origin of animals," which first formulated the theory of epigenesis. He stated and substantiated the idea that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. In 1654 Harvey was unanimously elected President of the London medical College, but for health reasons, refuses the position. Harvey died in 1657 and was buried in the town of Hempstead (Essex).

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess mitral valve function after repair of ventricular septal defect (VSD) combined with mitral regurgitation (MR) in the mid-term follow-up period, to evaluate the clinical utility of simultaneous mitral valve repair (MVR).
METHODS: From June 2005 to March 2014, 60 patients with VSD and MR underwent surgical treatment. After performing propensity score analysis (1:1) for the entire sample, 46 patients were selected and divided into 2 groups: those with VSD closure and MVR - 23 patients and those with VSD closure without mitral valve intervention - 23 patients. The follow-up period - 32 (28;40) months.
RESULTS: There was no postoperative mortality in either group. There was no significant difference in the duration of the postoperative period between groups. Mean cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross-clamping time were significantly longer in the 'VSD + MVR' group (cardiopulmonary bypass, P=0.023; aortic cross-clamp, P< 0.001). There was no significant difference in regurgitation area (P=0.30) and MR grade (P= 0.76) between groups postoperatively. There was no significant difference in freedom from MR ≥ 2+ between groups (log-rank test, P= 0.28). The only significant risk factor for recurrent MR ≥ 2+ during the follow-up period was mild residual MR in the early postoperative period ( P=0.037).
CONCLUSIONS: In infants with VSD combined with MR, simultaneous MVR has no benefits simultaneous MVR provided no advantage over that of isolated VSD closure. We found that the presence of mild residual MR in the early postoperative period predisposes the development of MR ≥ 2+ in follow-up period.

Purpose. Research of features of topography of the arcuate line of the rectus sheath.           
Materials and methods. There were studied 30 corpses of both sexes without signs of pathology of the anterior abdominal wall. During the autopsy of corpses, the muscular aponeurotic layer of the medial section of the anterior abdominal wall with fragments of the pubic bones, breast and costal arches was taken. On the prepared anatomical preparations was determined localization of the arcuate line of the rectus sheath in the midline relatively to the umbilical ring and the upper edge of the pubic symphysis.      
Results. In this studied autopsy material the arcuate line of the rectus sheath was more located below the umbilical ring (93%), by the way part of the upper third of the segment from the lower edge of the umbilical ring and the upper edge of the pubic symphysis (50%). In females, the arcuate line of the rectus sheath relative to the umbilical ring was located more lower (5,4±0,8 cm), compared to males (3,5±0,7 cm). 
Conclusion. The obtained data can be used in performing hernioplasty of variously localized hernias for the prevention of intra- incisional and incisional complications.

Article 19 of the Law on Legal Aid provides the authority to local governments to deliver legal assistance to the poor by allocating budgets in the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budgets, all of which are subsequently regulated by Regional Regulations. However, some areas have not yet implemented the mandate of Article 19 of this Legal Aid Law, because there is still doubt that the fulfillment of legal aid for the poor is part of the absolute government affairs relating to the justice sector. This includes establishing a Judicial Institution, appointing Judges and Prosecutors, establishing human rights and immigration policies, granting pardons, amnesty, abolition, legislation, Substitutionary Rules of Law, Government Regulations, and other national regulations. Unlike Jember Regency, which has legalized the Regional Regulation of Jember Number 6 Year 2016 regarding Legal Aid for the Poor, this Regulation of Jember Regency cannot be implemented since there is no Regent Regulation that regulates the implementation of the Regional Regulation. This article discusses how to regulate the authority of local government in fulfilling legal aid for the poor, and how to fulfill legal aid for the poor in Jember.  This article concludes with a suggestion for the Local Government of Jember to immediately approve the Regent's Regulation as the implementing regulation of Jember District Regulation No. 6 of 2016 on Legal Aid for the Poor, and to provide opportunities for community participation in supervising the fulfillment of legal aid in Jember.

Article 160, paragraph (4), Act Number 8, Year 1981, Code of Criminal Procedure states that witnesses are obliged to take an oath in accordance with their religion, before providing a statement in courts. It is aimed to prevent witnesses from providing a fake statement, as it is strictly prohibited in Article 174 Code of Criminal Procedure and Article 24, Criminal Code. In practice, it has resulted in contentious views of the application of such articles. In one regard, the procedure settles the problem of fake statements, as it does not require a report or an investigation, but only the ruling of judges. In contrast, another argument states that it does not require the ruling of judges, so that witnesses can be reported to police for investigation. This article revisits the power of police to investigate a fake statement in courts. By using legal research, the results of the study show that Article 242 Criminal Code remains to be applied in cases of fake statements, with the absence of a judge’s ruling. Therefore, police remains to be granted the power to investigate fake statements.

Formulation policy occupies a strategic role in the efforts to eradicate criminal acts, as law enforcers are bounded by prevailing laws and regulations. The issue of article formulation is only the surface of the problem when using electronic evidence in practice. The Law Number 31, Year 1999, on Corruption Criminal Act acknowledges electronic evidence as an extension of “petunjuk”, while in The Law Number 8 Year 2010, the Money Laundering Criminal Act, electronic evidence is recognized as an independent instrument of evidence. This article examines the underlying reasons for differences in formulation policy, in terms of the legislator's rationales. This article will also expose juridical implications for the recognition of electronic evidence in both acts. The article uses normative yudiris-legal research that analyses law through a building norm system. Based on legislative review, by tracking the legislation rationale, it is found that there is no fundamental reason for the classification, but it is only a legal policy because of legislation Based on the conceptual study, it is understood that electronic evidence, “petunjuk”, is weaker than independent evidence. This article concludes with the suggestion to include electronic evidence in the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), with a ‘stand-alone’ position that is not part of other evidence.

Tea is the most common drink worldwide besides water. It is rich in antioxidant polyphenolic flavonoids. Further, it has anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and autoantigen-inhibitory properties. To evaluate the effects of oral administration of aqueous extract of green tea against experimental aflatoxicosis on the renal tissues of adult male albino rats. Twenty five adult male rats were included and they were divided equally into 5 groups: Group 1 (aflatoxin group): the rats received aflatoxins (2.5 mg/kg diet for 15 days), group 2 (aflatoxins and green tea aqueous extract group) for 15 days, group 3, the rats received aflatoxins for 15 days and aqueous extract of the green tea for 30 days, group 4 (green tea aqueous extract group) and group 5(control negative group). Detailed non-traditional histological and morphometrical analyses for renal tissues stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin, Masson's trichrome stain, Periodic Acid Schiff’s (PAS), Alizarin red S stains and immunohistochemical detection of Ki-67 were done. The main observed renal lesions in rats received aflatoxins were dilatation of the renal pelvis, increases in glomerular areas (GA), widening of Bowman's spaces and necrosis of the renal lining epithelium and proliferation of fibrous connective tissues. Morphometric analysis revealed the presence of significant difference between group I and the other experimental groups. Meanwhile, groups 2 and 3 revealed a significant improvement in the histological changes and decrease in most of parameters. The highest percentage of PAS positive reaction was significantly found in group 4. Quantitative analysis of positive reactions of Ki-67 revealed the highest positive immunohistochemical reactions were detected in group 1 which significantly different in groups 4 and 5. In conclusion, green tea has a protective effect against the adverse effects of aflatoxins on renal tissues evidenced by improvement of histopathological alterations and regulation of Ki-67 expressions.
The Aversive Brain System of Teleosts: Implications for Neuroscience and Biological Psychiatry
Authors: do Carmo Silva Rhayra Xavier , Lima-Maximino Monica Gomes , Maximino Caio
Published: August 2018

Defensive behavior is a function of specific survival circuits, the “aversive brain system”, that are thought to be conserved across vertebrates, and involve threat detection and the organization of defensive responses to reduce or eliminate threat. In mammals, these circuits involve amygdalar and hypothalamic subnuclei and midbrain circuits. The increased interest in teleost fishes as model organisms in neuroscience created a demand to understand which brain circuits are involved in defensive behavior. Telencephalic and habenular circuits represent a “forebrain circuit” for threat processing and organization of responses, being important to  mounting appropriate coping responses. Specific hypothalamic circuits organize neuroendocrine and neurovegetative outputs, but are the less well-studied in fish. A “midbrain circuit” is represented by projections to interneurons in the optic tectum which mediate fast escape responses via projections to the central gray and/or the brainstem escape network. Threatening stimuli (especially visual stimuli) can bypass the “high road” and directly activate this system, initiating escape responses. Increased attention to these circuits in an evolutionary framework is still needed.

The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway plays an essential role in embryonic and postnatal vasculature development and homeostasis of organs. Under physiological condition, Hh family’s member Sonic Hedgehog (SHh) regulates endothelial cell growth, promotes cell migration, and induces the construction of blood vessels. In this review, we highlight recent topics in EPC biology, regarding current advance in SHh canonical and non-canonical signaling pathway in EPCs and EC biology in terms of homeostasis, extracellular SHh signal transmission by parental cell-derived extracellular vesicle (exosomes containing single-strand non-codding miRNA), and SHh signal impairment in cardiovascular diseases. Also, we discuss SHh signaling pathway activation of EPCs as a promising therapeutic tool against cardiovascular disease patients.
Voltage Interruptions on 140 Bus Power Grid Performance Under Faults-DFIG Based Wind Power Generation System Control and Operation by Integrated E-STATCOM Improves Power Quality

Published: August 2018

The arrival of new developments in the field of power electronics circuit’s applications in power systems builds new control strategy to improve voltage quality for power grid by overcome interruptions. Wind energy resources are unconventional resources and get advanced problems to power grid when it is connected. Uncertainty of load sharing, peak energy management, climatic conditions, wind velocity and wind energy injected into power grid leads many of power quality problems on power grid based on the existing guidelines specified in IEC-61400 standard. This system plans efficient operation of DFIG to eliminate the voltage collapse and mismatch frequency to power grid. The DFIG connected diode rectifier and rotor side converter wind generator works as an Efficient Static Synchronous Compensator (E-SATCOM) for supplying the demand of reactive power for power grid to mitigate PQ problems. The benefit of using a combined controller was verified by simulink/Matlab and its simulated results used Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG), wind Turbine. This simulation results gives good quality transient and stable state response to manage and support reactive power for both symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults in connection of grid codes to provide continuous quality of power supply, multiple wind generators are required for 140 bus power grid.
Who is the Muslim? Discursive Representations of the Muslims and Islam in Indian Prime Time News
Authors: Drabu Onaiza
Published: August 2018

A cursory look at Indian prime time news tells us much about the tone and tenor of the people associated with it. Exaggerations, hyperbole, and tempers run wild and news anchors flail in theatrical rage. News channels and news editors display their ideological affiliations subliminally. These affiliations — a factor of personal political stance, funding bodies, and investors — lead to partisan bias in the framing of news and, in some cases, can easily translate into racial prejudice. In this paper, I examine news coverage related to Muslims in India. I study the coverage of two issues specifically– love jihad and triple talaq –in prime time English news of two channels – Times Now and Republic TV. My analysis of the content, tone, and tenor of their coverage shows that these channels propagate associations between Islam and backwardness, ignorance and violence through consistent employment of the following tropes – ‘Muslim women need to be saved from Muslim men’, ‘Hindu women need to be saved from Muslim men’, and ‘Muslims are not fully Indian – they are anti-national’. I place this study of news media within the current political climate in India and briefly touch on the conversations it guides and provokes.

Core Ideas

Evaluation of the influence of planting date on corn aflatoxin.

Evaluation on how in‐season weather conditions influence corn aflatoxin.

Evaluation of the influence of planting density on corn aflatoxin.

Identification of the growing season periods when the aflatoxin risk is highest.

Evaluation of the relationship between yield and corn aflatoxin.

Aflatoxins are a group of toxins produced by fungi found on corn (Zea mays L.). Aflatoxin contamination can make it unmarketable. Fortunately, management practices that reduce stress during critical growth stages lessen contamination. A study was conducted at Fairhope, AL (2010–2014), and Prattville, AL (2013–2014), to evaluate the effect of planting dates, plant densities, and in‐season weather conditions on preharvest aflatoxin contamination. The experiment had a split‐split‐plot design replicated six times, with inoculation method assigned to the main plots, planting date to the subplots, and planting density to the sub‐subplots. Results showed that delaying planting from mid‐March to mid‐April reduced aflatoxin levels and increasing the planting density from 44,480 to 74,130 plants ha−1 did not impact toxin accumulation. Multiple linear regression indicated that minimum air temperature and rainfall models could explain from 50 to 76% of the observed aflatoxin variability. However, the effect of both variables on aflatoxin contamination levels changed during the period pre‐silking (14 d prior) to physiological maturity. Minimum temperature alone had the strongest positive influence on aflatoxin over the 2 wk after mid‐silk. A reduction in rainfall during 2 wk prior mid‐silk and from Day 43 after mid‐silk to physiological maturity resulted on high aflatoxin contamination levels. In conclusion, a better understanding of the influence of weather variables on corn contamination may lead to better crop management and development of more accurate prediction systems.
Factor de impacto de revistas de la América Latina en Ciencia Social: un estudio comparativo entre las bases Scopus y Web of Science
Authors: Almeida Catia Candida , Grácio Maria Cláudia Cabrini
Published: August 2018

El factor de impacto (FI) es un indicador bibliométrico utilizado en la evaluación del impacto y visibilidad de las investigaciones diseminadas por las revistas científicas. Sin embargo, varios estudiosos han señalado críticas y limitaciones en cuanto a su utilización. Este trabajo objetiva comparar el FI de las revistas de América Latina, en el área de Ciencia Sociales, presentes simultáneamente en las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science. Los resultados apuntaron que el 71% de las revistas presentaron los FIs calculados a partir de Scopus por encima de los obtenidos de la Web of Science. Se verificó la existencia de correlación lineal de Pearson de 0,43 de tendencia positiva y se aplicó la prueba Wilcoxon demostrando diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los FIs (se utilizó el nivel de significancia del 5%). El estudio evidenció las dificultades de comparación del FI y de visibilidad internacional en la ciencia principal.
A influência da genealogia acadêmica na colaboração científica: um estudo no campo da Matemática no Brasil
Authors: Hilário Carla Mara , Castanha Rafael Gutierres , Grácio Maria Cláudia Cabrini
Published: August 2018

A colaboração científica muitas vezes é resultante da relação de genealogia acadêmica (orientador-orientando) entre os coautores, decorrente de orientações de pós-graduação, materializadas sob a forma de publicações em coautoria. Pensando nisso, o trabalho objetiva identificar as relações genealógicas dos investigadores bolsistas de produtividade em pesquisa do CNPq, nível 1 (PQ1), da área da Matemática com seus coautores docentes a fim de identificar a influência científica deste grupo sob seus pares. Objetiva também mapear a rede de coautorias da produção destes pesquisadores com a identificação das relações genealógicas com investigadores já inseridos na ciência. Para tanto, foi solicitado que os bolsistas PQ1 da Matemática indicassem quem são seus principais coautores e foram analisadas suas produções científicas no período de 2010 a 2012 quanto à presença das relações genealógicas, visualizada em rede de coautorias. Também foi construído um quadro com informações genealógicas de primeiro e segundo grau. Identifica que as primeiras relações genealógicas ocorreram a partir de 1986 e os docentes orientados continuam trabalhando com seus orientadores, mas na condição de pares científicos. Considera que foi possível visualizar a inserção de investigadores na ciência e evidenciar a e continuidade do conhecimento transmitido durante a formação enquanto pós-graduandos
¿Pluralismo o monoteoría en psicología clínica? Análisis empírico de problemas epistemológicos y formativos en carreras de psicología en Argentina (2015)

Published: August 2018

La bibliografía utilizada en el entrenamiento psicoclínico en carreras de grado es central para explicar las particularidades teóricas, epistemológicas y prácticas de la psicología argentina. Este trabajo aporta datos sobre el estado actual de dicha formación psicoclínica en universidades nacionales en el contexto de los debates sobre evaluación y acreditación de grados de psicología, que en lo epistemológico han enfatizado de la necesidad de formar profesionales pluralistas, críticos y actualizados. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, expost facto retrospectivo de tipo socio-bibliométrico, analizándose la bibliografía obligatoria (N=629) de los sílabos  de asignaturas sobre psicología clínica y psicoterapia de carreras de psicología de las universidades nacionales de Rosario, Mar del Plata y La Plata, a partir de categorías de análisis socio-bibliométrico. Se halló un predominio de trabajos de Freud y Lacan, y de trabajos de orientaciones psicodinámicas en desmedro de otras orientaciones psicoclínicas. Existiría predominio de obras de psicólogos por sobre psiquiatras, médicos y filósofos. Menos del 5% de la bibliografía fue publicada en los últimos cinco años, y menos de un 20% en los últimos diez años. Se concluye que no existiría adecuación entre contenidos impartidos y parámetros de los procesos de acreditación y debates teóricos y epistemológicos de la disciplina. AbstractMandatory readings of undergraduate psychology programs’ training in clinical psychology are of key importance in order to explain the theoretical, epistemological and practical peculiarities of Argentinian psychology. This study provides data on the current state of psychoclinical training at national universities in the context of the debates on evaluation and accreditation of psychology careers, which in an epistemological sense have emphasized the need to train pluralistic, critical and up-to-date professionals. A descriptive, retrospective, socio-bibliometric study was carried out, to analyze the literature used as mandatory readings (N = 629) at clinical psychology and psychotherapy syllabi of psychology programs at the national universities of Rosario, Mar del Plata and La Plata, using socio-bibliometric variables and indicators. We found a predominance of works by Freud and Lacan, and works of psychodynamic orientations in detriment of other theoretical orientations. There exists a predominance of works by psychologists over psychiatrists, physicians and philosophers. Less than 5% of the literature was published in the last five years, and less than 20% in the last ten years. It is concluded that there would be no congruence between the contents taught at psychotherapy undergraduate courses, criteria used for psychology programs’ accreditation processes, and theoretical and epistemological debates of the discipline.
