Published: January 2023

Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud, las infecciones vectoriales son de suma importancia para la salud publica debido a que estas enfermedades son infecciosas y se propagan de manera rápida a través de insectos, caracoles entre otros. A nivel mundial se ha detectado que estas propagaciones de infecciones vectoriales se dan en países con zonas tropicales causando enfermedades como la Malaria, Zika, Chikungunya, Dengue. El objetivo de este artículo fue analizar las infecciones vectoriales, manifestaciones clínicas y diagnóstico diferencial. La metodología establecida fue del tipo retrospectiva con un diseño documental, a través de una revisión sistemática, de revistas científicas con bases de datos científicas como Scielo, Science direct, Redalyc, así escogiéndose todos los documentos disponibles sobre infecciones vectoriales. Se evidenció que la mayor prevalencia de una infección vector fue la del Zika con el 90% en Brasil, en relación con las manifestaciones clínicas, presentan fiebre, dolores musculares, malestar general y para hacer un diagnóstico diferencial hay que tener en cuenta los diferentes síntomas que presentan las personas infectadas por diversos factores. Se concluyó que, con respecto a la prevalencia de las infecciones vectoriales en países con zonas tropicales, las enfermedades transmitidas por vectores continúan contribuyendo significativamente a la carga mundial de morbilidad y provocan epidemias que perturban la seguridad sanitaria causando impactos socioeconómicos amplios en todo el mundo.

Published: January 2023

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technologies provide services and applications in a wide range of areas, including survey and mapping, transportation, precision agriculture, urban planning, smart mobility and smart city management, to name a few. Most of these applications rely on real-time kinematic (RTK) technology, which is typically supported by a network of continuously operating reference stations (CORS). In order to improve GNSS applications in Ghana, eight new CORS were established by the Licensed Surveyors Association of Ghana (LiSAG) in 2019 known as LiSAGNet. Accurate and precise positions of the LiSAGNet are, however, very critical for GNSS applications. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine accurate three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of the LiSAGNet using Network-based and Precise Point Positioning (PPP) techniques based on the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF). Positions of the new CORS were computed from data for 11 consecutive days using gLAB software v5.4.1 in PPP mode and the Canadian Spatial Reference System PPP (CSRS-PPP) online services as a check. Position solutions from both gLAB and CSRS-PPP were compared, which yielded coordinates variability of 0.001 m, 0.003 m and 0.029 m in the northings (N), eastings (E) and up (U) directions respectively and were therefore accepted as the final coordinates of the LiSAGNet. Positions from the PPP and Network-based techniques were also compared to determine consistencies or otherwise in the coordinates of the LiSAGNet. The study concluded that positions of LiSAGNet showed more consistency when determined by Network-based technique than when determined by PPP technique.

Background and objectives: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergency conditions. This study was done to clarify the effect of antibiotics in reducing post appendectomy complications after open and laparoscopic appendectomy in patients with non-perforated appendicitis. Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial. Three hundred and twenty one patients, who underwent appendectomy for non-perforated appendicitis and fulfilled the selection criteria, were randomly divided into two groups. The patients in group A received double dose of pre-operative and postoperative antibi- otics (third generation cephalosporin and metronidazole), while the group B patients received one dose of the same antibiotics pre-operatively. Patients of both groups were followed-up for 30 days to assess postoperative infective complications. Results: Group A had 133, while group B comprised of 188 patients. The groups were comparable in the baseline characteristics. Statistically, there was no significant difference in rates of localized wound complications between both groups (p = 0.4713). Mean hospital stay was 2.1 ± 0.73 and 2 ± 0.48 days for group A and B respectively Conclusions: Single dose of pre or post-operative antibiotics (third generation cephalosporin and metronidazole) was sufficient in reducing the wound related complications after appendectomy for non-perforated appendicitis.

Background and objectives: The long-term effects of adjuvant chemotherapy are very important in patients with breast cancer. Cytotoxic chemotherapy may induce changes in menstrual cycle to variable extents and even may induce amenorrhea. This study was designed to find out the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy, Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide, on ovarian function in patients with early stages breast cancer. Methods: Thirty premenopausal women with newly diagnosed early breast cancer enrolled in this study. In addition to a proper menstruation history, the following parameters FSH, LH, Estrogen, Progesterone, were estimated before and after 4 cycles of chemotherapy with another follow up formenstrual history after 6 months, in each patient. Results: After 4 cycles of adjuvant Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide chemotherapy the mean level of FSH and LH was increased and Estrogen level was decreased, significantly. While, Progesterone level was decreased non-significantly. Menstrual changes detected in most patients after receiving chemotherapy but only %47 of them developed amenorrhea which was persistent after 6 months in %33 of the patients. The induced amenorrhea has found to be related positively with the age of the patient but has no any relation with receptor status, estrogen, progesteron and Her2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2), of the tumor and neither with the menstrual phase at which chemotherapy has been given nor with the body mass index. Conclusions: Adjuvant chemotherapy changes ovarian hormonal levels significantly and induces transient and permanent amenorrhea in patients with early stages breast cancer.

Published: January 2023

Background and objectives: There are many electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for detection of right atrial dilatation (maximum diameter of more than 5.3 mm), the most common one is P- pulmonale which is manifested by a tall P- wave in the inferior leads mainly lead II (P- wave equal or more than 2.5 mm), although this criteria is subjected to criticism regarding its sensitivity, specificity and predictive values, but it is still regarded as a main criteria. This study was designed to estimate the sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and accuracy of P- pulmonale in the detection of right atrial dilatation. Methods: Two hundred patients with different pathologies that can lead to right atrial dilatation had been included in the study from 2013-7-1 to 2015-9-1. ECG and two dimensional chocardiography had been performed for all patients, P- wave in lead II of 2.5 mm or more had been regarded as P- pulmonale, right atrial maximum dimension in apical four chamber view transthoracic two dimensional echocardiography of more than 5.3 mm had been regarded as dilated right atrium. The patients accordingly were divided into four groups (true positive, true negative, false positive and false negative). Results: The study included patients of different ages, male to female ratio was 3:2, and the patients had different pathologies that could lead to dilated right atrium. Sensitivity of P-pulmonale was %49, specificity %79, positive predictive value of %51, negative predictive value of 77 % and accuracy] of %70.5. Conclusions: P-pulmonale is a reliable criterion for the detection of right atrial dilatation although it has variable sensitivity. It is more specific than being sensitive. The negative predictive value of P-pulmonale is higher than its positive predictive value.

La edad molecular: reimaginando la vejez desde laboratorios de experimentación en telómeros
Authors: Lasunción Sara , García Arregui Aníbal
Published: January 2023

El proceso conocido como “envejecimiento celular” se manifiesta en el acortamiento de los telómeros, que son los extremos de los cromosomas. En las últimas décadas, la posibilidad de la manipulación genética para preservar la longitud de los telómeros ha suscitado formas de pensar el envejecimiento como un proceso maleable y aplazable. Mediante una etnografía de los laboratorios de telómeros y su entorno de divulgación científica, aquí trazamos la emergencia de una “biopolítica molecular” (Rose, 2007) que desestabiliza la idea de una edad lineal y “cronológica”. En su lugar, se plantea una edad “biológica” que, siendo relativa a la longitud y velocidad de acortamiento de los telómeros, puede ser medida y manipulada a nivel micrométrico. Aquí describimos cómo la manipulación molecular de la edad se despliega junto a una intrínseca patologización de la vejez. Como consecuencia, la episteme y práctica biomédica transitan del objetivo de “curar” enfermedades hacia el de la optimización de la fisiología celular para frenar el envejecimiento.
