An African perspective of Helicobacter pylori infection: A narrative review
Authors: Funjika Evelyn , Cheuka Peter Mubanga , Zyambo Kanekwa , Chu Kathryn , Rickard Jennifer , Kayamba Violet
Published: July 2024

Background
There is a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in Africa, but data on its clinical presentation are limited. The African enigma, states that despite a high prevalence of H. pylori infection on the continent, related gastrointestinal diseases such as peptic ulceration and gastric cancer are not common.  However, this conclusion was based on limited scientific evidence and has been challenged by some scientists. 
Methods
This narrative review highlights gaps on our understanding of H. pylori infection in Africa, that limit the possibility of formulating evidence-based guidelines.
Results
We demonstrate a lack of understanding about the epidemiology of H. pylori-related gastric diseases such as peptic ulceration and gastric cancer. In addition, we discuss challenges related to drug resistance. 
Conclusions
            There is an urgent need to provide scientific evidence for the African enigma which will deepen our understanding of H. pylori infection on the continent. In addition, efforts at streamlining approaches to evidence-based eradication therapy need to be intensified.

Authors: Nambala Sianchapa Brenda , Mubita-Ngoma Catherine , Katowa-Mukwato Patricia
Published: July 2024

Background: In an effort to prevent vertical transmission of HIV, pregnant women undergo HIV testing and where appropriate, are enrolled into HIV care.  Receiving an HIV positive diagnosis can lead to stress and other experiences.  
Aim: To explore the experiences of women diagnosed HIV positive during pregnancy at selected Health facilities in Lusaka district.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. In-depth interviews were conducted on 17 purposively selected postpartum women who were diagnosed HIV positive during their recent pregnancy. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The 6-phase coding framework for thematic analysis was used to identify themes and patterns in the data
Major findings: Six main themes emerged: reactions to HIV diagnosis, stress of HIV diagnosis, making the HIV status known, ART adherence, staff behaviour and adjusting to the reality of living with HIV.  Most participants reported a mixture of emotions upon receiving the diagnosis, including anger, disappointment, disbelief, shock, turmoil, with others becoming aggressive and contemplating physical harm to themselves and the foetus. Most participants reported being stressed about the diagnosis due to fear of vertical transmission and uncertainty about pregnancy outcome and future. Others reported Intimate Partner Violence upon disclosing to their sexual partners while some reported inconsistent ART adherence. Staff were generally described as being supportive, but some staff gave inadequate explanations, and some were rude.
Conclusion: The study recommends empathetic support by Health care providers, to women diagnosed with HIV during pregnancy, together with their significant others as they undergo the reality of living with HIV.
Consideraciones históricas sobre el origen del concepto facies sedimentaria
Authors: García Cruz Cándido Manuel
Published: July 2024

Se analiza tanto el origen como el significado del concepto de facies aplicado a las formaciones sedimentarias. Este término fue acuñado por el geólogo suizo Amanz Gressly en 1838 a partir de sus estudios en el macizo del Jura Oriental, al norte de los Alpes. Gressly tuvo en cuenta las dimensiones horizontales y verticales de los estratos, y junto con el contenido lítico también incluyó el componente paleontológico. De esta forma, se podían deducir las características ambientales del medio de sedimentación, y los factores tectónicos, que habrían condicionado su formación y, por otro lado, establecer las características paleogeográficas y paleoecológicas de una región, bajo los principios de la causalidad natural y del actualismo. Con anterioridad, durante los siglos XVII, XVIII y XIX, algunos autores habían señalado la importancia de considerar los restos fósiles para entender mejor las formaciones sedimentarias. En los primeros años, se estaban definiendo las principales unidades de la columna geológica y, al mismo tiempo, se estaba abandonando la corriente neptunista. La Geología necesitaba, pues, un nuevo marco teórico en el que desarrollar las nuevas investigaciones. Gressly, con su definición de facies, puso los cimientos de un nuevo sistema para entender el registro estratigráfico.

Authors: Singer P. André M. , Audemard M. Franck Albert J. , Rodríguez Arteaga José Antonio , Rodríguez Dávila Luz María
Published: July 2024

En el organigrama de FUNVISIS, creada como resultado benéfico del Terremoto de Caracas de 1967, el Departamento de Ciencias de la Tierra (DCT), desempeña el rol de puente entre las unidades de Sismología e Ingeniería Sísmica, cuyo desarrollo ocurrirá en 4 fases. En la inaugural (1972-1978), tal misión se efectúa sin personal especializado. Entre 1979 y 1983, se implementa el DCT a través de la cooperación científica francesa gracias a la formación “en caliente” de sus geocientíficos en sismotectónica. El DCT se consolida entre 1984 y 1996, con la ejecución de proyectos de aplicación por parte de geólogos con estudios de postgrado alcanzados en esa cooperación. La fase de expansión internacional más productiva del DCT ocurre entre 1997 y 2022. La proyección de su pericia en la región conlleva al reconocimiento de Venezuela como un país de vanguardia en geología de terremotos. Los años “dorados” del DCT se cierran abruptamente con la irrupción en Venezuela de una hiperinflación cabalgante en 2017, rematada por la pandemia del COVID 19. Tal situación económica empuja a sus jóvenes profesionales a los caminos de la diáspora, circunstancia agravada por la jubilación de sus profesionales seniors en 2020; con un futuro incierto para el DCT.

Authors: Tomas Germán Javier , Acuña Adrián Javier
Published: July 2024

En Argentina existen varias cuencas productivas de petróleo, entre ellas la Cuenca Austral, cuyas sucesiones estratigráficas contienen varias unidades que actúan como rocas reservorio, destacando en este estudio las formaciones Springhill, Margas Verdes y Piedra Clavada. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar los biomarcadores de trece muestras de crudo extraídas de estas unidades reservorio, que permitiera caracterizar la materia orgánica que los formó, el ambiente en la que está sedimentó, la litología de las rocas generadoras y el grado de emparentamiento entre las mismas. Para tal fin, se analizaron los perfiles de biomarcadores por GC/MS a partir de sus fracciones alifáticas y aromáticas previa separación por cromatografía en columna. Parámetros específicos tales como P/F, P/n-C17, F/n-C18, DBT/Ph, % MeDBT y % S27-28-29 indican que todos los crudos se generaron a partir de materia orgánica tipo II-III (mixta), asociada a rocas madre siliciclásticas en ambientes sedimentarios con baja concentración de oxígeno. Los resultados obtenidos se corresponden con estudios previos realizados sobre petróleos de esta cuenca. Además, las muestras se agruparon mediante el siguiente patrón: ambiente tectónico y profundidad de punzado < roca madre-unidad reservorio < ubicación respecto al río Gallegos.

Authors: Ambrosio Halana Tereza Marques de Jesus , Aquino Junior José , Rodrigues Zulimar Marita Ribeiro
Published: July 2024

Este estudo aborda as doenças de veiculação hídrica, cuja prevalência está intimamente ligada ao descarte inadequado de resíduos sanitários em corpos d'água utilizados para consumo humano, resultando na mortalidade de milhões de pessoas anualmente, especialmente em países de baixa renda. O objetivo foi examinar a interação entre essas doenças, a falta de saneamento e as iniciativas de educação ambiental como soluções para esses desafios. A metodologia utilizada foi uma revisão sistemática baseada nas diretrizes PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). A revisão investigou a incidência das doenças de veiculação hídrica ao longo dos últimos anos, destacando sua relação direta com a falta de infraestrutura sanitária adequada e a eficácia limitada das iniciativas de educação ambiental. O período de estudo (2012-2022) foi selecionado para refletir as mudanças nas produções científicas em resposta à evolução das legislações ambientais e educacionais. Os estudos revisados revelaram que as doenças de veiculação hídrica são frequentemente negligenciadas devido a políticas públicas deficientes e ao estilo de vida das populações afetadas. Além disso, destacaram a necessidade urgente de uma educação ambiental mais robusta, integrada como componente interdisciplinar no currículo escolar. A educação ambiental emergiu como uma ferramenta crucial para capacitar a sociedade como agentes de mudança, promover políticas públicas mais eficazes e estimular transformações em comunidades urbanas e rurais, tanto localmente quanto regionalmente.

Published: July 2024

O presente trabalho visa apresentar uma análise econométrica dos eventos legais do tipo PADDD (downgrading, dowsizing, degazettement and reclassification of protected área), que se intensificaram no final da primeira década deste milênio no Brasil e que afetaram, principalmente, áreas verdes protegidas pelo Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação (SNUC), criadas através de atos do Poder Público Federal, no período de 2000 até 2021,e que encontram-se sob à administração desta esfera governamental. O estudo em tela encontra-se alinhado aos objetivos da Agenda de Sustentabilidade - Agenda 2030, mais especificamente com o Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável – 15, que trata da disseminação de política pública voltada para a criação de área de proteção da natureza. A metodologia abordada utilizou o Modelo de Regressão Linear Múltipla e o Método dos Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários, durante o período de 2000-2021, utilizando a interposição de múltiplas entradas de variáveis em diversas ocorrências de rebaixamento, redelimitação ou desclassificação de unidades de conservação. Os resultados apontaram como extensão da unidade de conservação, a renda média da população e o quantitativo da população ocupada apresentando forte correlação de caráter assimétrico à variação do PIB desses municípios pertencentes ao Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação. Já o total de salário e outras remunerações pagas à população ocupada não apareceu em nenhum modelo econométrico previsto, denotando que essa variável não influencia na variação da riqueza total produzida nessas localidades estudadas.

Economía ambiental neoclásica y economía ecológica: diferentes visiones de la relación entre la economía y los recursos naturales
Authors: Oliveira Isabel Cristina de , Oliveira Aristeu Geovani de , Sousa Diego Neves de
Published: July 2024

Ante el contexto actual de degradación ambiental resultante de la sustracción de bienes ambientales para el desarrollo de las actividades humanas, surge la necesidad de abordar las posiciones de corrientes teóricas de la ciencia económica encaminadas a comprender la relación que se establece entre la economía y los recursos naturales. Por lo tanto, este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar los aspectos teóricos generales de la Economía Ambiental Neoclásica y la Economía Ecológica, con miras a comparar las posiciones de estas dos corrientes sobre la cuestión ambiental. La metodología consiste básicamente en una revisión bibliográfica de las dos teorías. Los resultados indican que la Economía Ambiental Neoclásica ve la economía como un todo, mientras que la Economía Ecológica destaca su interconexión con el ecosistema global. Mientras el primero trata la economía como un sistema aislado, el segundo reconoce la relación entre la economía y el medio ambiente. Además, la Economía Ambiental se basa en principios mecánicos, ignorando la temporalidad de las transformaciones, mientras que la Economía Ecológica reconoce su irreversibilidad. Finalmente, la Economía Neoclásica no considera la unicidad de los recursos naturales, a diferencia de la Economía Ecológica, que valora sus características únicas.

Filariasis are a type of parasites (worms), who have a cylindrical body and sexual dimorphism. They are part of the filarioid family. The epidemic zone for filariasis is located in Central, as well as the West part of Africa. There are many species of filariasis, but the cutaneous filariasis (Loa-Loa, Onchocerca volvulus, Dracunculus medinensis) and lymphatic filariasis (Wucherelia bancrofti, Brugia malayi) are of medical interest. Other species of filariasis can cause incomplete infections due to the incapacity of reaching a certain complet level of maturity in the human body. Human transmission is made with the help of the red fly (Chrysops-Tabanid), which can take the role of an intermediary host and carrier [1]. Some microfilariae have a daily circadian rhythm, periodically in which they are found in maximum concentration in the bloodstream. These intervals match with the feeding circadian rhythm of the insects with the role of a carrier, maximizing this way, the chances of spreading the infection [2]. We are presenting the case of a pacient, diagnosed postoperatively with cutaneous filariasis, with insidious onset after an insect bite and the installation of local inflamatories events, which have progressively worsened, despite treatments at home, which is why sugery was performed (surgical debridement and removal the parasite).

Authors: Tran Phillip ,   Cardiovascular Department, Yavapai Regional Medical Center, Prescott, AZ, Vietnem.
Published: July 2024

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), also known as acute stress-induced cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome, is a temporary heart condition characterized by transient dysfunction and ballooning of the left ventricle (LV) of the heart. The condition is often attributed to events that cause major physical or emotional stress. Surgery may also impose substantial physiological and psychological stress on patients [1]. Diagnosis of TCM is typically based on the Mayo Clinic criteria and the criteria established by Kawai et al [2]. Only a few occurrences of TCM that have been preceded by cardiac surgery have been published, accounting for 0.9% according to 52 out of 5773 patients. In these cases, mitral valve surgery contributed to the majority of cases with 69.2% [3]. TCM typically occurs within 24 hours after surgery, accounting for 68% of cases [4]. We present a case of delayed TCM development four weeks after porcine mitral valve replacement due to severe mitral valve regurgitation.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab bagaimana sikap, norma subjektif, dan kontrol perilaku yang dirasakan mempengaruhi niat individu untuk berpikir lateral, dengan latar belakang bahwa Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) dan konsep berpikir lateral dari Edward de Bono telah terbukti efektif secara terpisah namun belum banyak diteliti secara integratif. Mengambil posisi untuk mengintegrasikan TPB dalam konteks berpikir kreatif, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain survei terhadap 300 mahasiswa dan profesional muda di Indonesia. Instrumen berupa kuesioner yang mengukur konstruk utama TPB diisi oleh responden, dengan data dianalisis menggunakan SPSS dan AMOS. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa sikap terhadap berpikir lateral (β = 0,45), norma subjektif (β = 0,30), dan kontrol perilaku yang dirasakan (β = 0,25) semuanya berpengaruh signifikan terhadap niat untuk berpikir lateral, yang pada gilirannya berpengaruh signifikan terhadap perilaku berpikir lateral (β = 0,50), dengan model menjelaskan 55% varians dalam niat dan 50% varians dalam perilaku berpikir lateral. Temuan ini memperkuat validitas TPB dalam konteks berpikir kreatif dan menawarkan implikasi praktis untuk program pendidikan dan pelatihan yang bertujuan meningkatkan kreativitas melalui intervensi yang memperkuat sikap positif, dukungan sosial, dan kontrol perilaku yang dirasakan.

Published: July 2024

The article details a comprehensive simulation study on guided aerial bombs, utilizing a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) station. It outlines the construction of the HIL station, the guided bomb model, and the simulation's control environment. The principle of operation of the laser seeker and the method of calculating the target observation angle are introduced. For simulation purposes, the spatial motion of the bomb was described by a system of twelve ordinary differential equations, supplemented with control laws. Subsequent tests validate the simulation models against their real-world counterparts, proving the efficacy of the HIL station in guided bomb testing. The test results make it possible to assess both the correctness of the models (especially the seeker) used in the simulation program and their real counterparts used in tests on the HIL station.
