Authors: Alejandro Juárez Rolando Pablo , César Celia Armando
Published: June 2024

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of coffee consumption on salivary cortisol (sCort) and alpha amylase (sAA) in young adults. Materials and methods: Sixty healthy university students, habitual coffee consumers, participated in this descriptive observational study. Participants were divided into three groups: G1 low consumption (≤ 2 cups of coffee per day, n= 20), G2 moderate consumption (2-5 cups of coffee per day, n = 20), and G3 high consumption (>5 cups of coffee per day, n = 20). Saliva self-collection was in the morning (6:30-7:30 AM) and at night (08:00-09:00 PM). sCort was analyzed using chemiluminescence and sAA activity by kinetic method. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using Student's t-test and analysis of variance. Results: The sample consisted of 30 women and 30 men, aged between 20 and 35 years. In all groups, sCort values were higher in the morning (AM 0,29 ± 0,19 vs. PM 0,09 ± 0,05 μg/dl, p < 0.0001). In contrast, sAA levels were higher in the night (PM 160,16 ± 60,42 vs. AM 32,79 ± 12,98 U/ml, p < 0.0001). No significant differences were detected, in the contents of Corts and AAs, between the groups. Conclusion: Coffee consumption, in non-stressful conditions, did not alter levels and patterns of sCort and sAA in young adults.

This systematic review evaluates these biomarkers, emphasizing their clinical applicability and potential in early detection. Methods: An extensive electronic search was conducted across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies. Salivary biomarkers were analyzed as independent variables, with gastric cancer as the dependent variable. The study adhered to a protocol registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021259519). Results: Our analysis identified a range of biomarkers, highlighting three proteins - cystatin-B (CSTB), triosephosphate isomerase (TPI1), and deleted in malignant brain tumors 1 protein (DMBT1) - as particularly accurate for gastric cancer diagnosis. Conclusions: Salivary biomarkers hold substantial promise for the early detection of gastric cancer. Future research should aim to refine study design and validation for enhancing the quality and applicability of these biomarkers.
Efectividad de la curcumina como terapia fotodinámica para los procedimientos de endodoncia: una revisión narrativa
Authors: Salazar Villavicencio Alisson Melissa , Zapata-Sifuentes Mauricio
Published: June 2024

Introducción: La terapia endodóntica se realiza mediante la preparación biomecánica y la medicación intracanal; sin embargo, las bacterias residuales tienen la capacidad de adherirse a las paredes del conducto radicular. Por ese motivo, la terapia fotodinámica ha ganado popularidad gracias a su capacidad para prevenir y erradicar infecciones microbianas mediante el uso de un colorante activado por luz. Objetivo: Analizar y actualizar la información sobre el efecto de la curcumina en la terapia fotodinámica para el tratamiento de conductos. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda de la literatura en las bases de datos en PubMed/Medline, Scopus, EBSCO, ScienceDirect y LILACS utilizando las palabras claves “curcumina”, “cúrcuma”, “fotodinámica”, “fotoquimioterapia”, “fotorradiación”, “desinfección fotoactivada”, “desinfección de conductos radiculares”, “terapia del conducto radicular” y “endodoncia”. Los artículos estuvieron en idioma español e inglés, entre los años 2018 a 2023. Resultados: Se recopiló información de los últimos cinco años con el objetivo de actualizar el tema de estudio. Se examinaron 749 artículos utilizando criterios de inclusión y exclusión, de los cuales solo 50 cumplieron estos criterios y fueron analizados. Los estudios actuales muestran los efectos de la terapia en la contaminación del biofilm del conducto radicular con E. faecalis, y evidencia que la curcumina fotoactivada promueve la ruptura del biofilm y reducción de unidades formadoras de colonias. Conclusión: La curcumina, como fotosensibilizador, demuestra un efecto antibacteriano potencial que disminuye significativamente la viabilidad de las células microbianas y la vitalidad de las biopelículas.
Modulation of biphasic pattern of cortical reorganization in spinal cord transected rats by external magnetic fields
Authors: Jain Suman , Kaur Sajeev , Bhardwaj Ritika , KOCHHAR KANWAL PREET
Published: June 2024

Study Design: Animal Study
Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) in modulating the biphasic pattern of cortical plasticity in rats with complete spinal cord injury (cSCI).
Setting: Laboratory based study conducted in India.
Method: Adult wistar rats received cSCI at T-13 followed by ELF-MF exposure for either 5 or 12 or 32 days to study biphasic pattern. A set of motor and sensorimotor behavioral tests, cortical electrical activity (electroencephalography), spinal cord lesion area and volume, and expression of neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and inhibitory molecule (Nogo-A) was observed and recorded at the three time points in motor and sensory cortical areas.
Result: A significant (p≤0.01) functional recovery was evident in locomotor (BBB score), sensorimotor (allodynia using von Frey test) and motor (grip strength) tests, lesion volume and power spectrum of EEG waves after 32 days of ELF-MF. Though both SCI and SCI+MF rats exhibited characteristic biphasic pattern in the expression of Nogo-A and BDNF, but the level of expression was significantly altered in later group at day 32.
Conclusion: A significant improvement in the expression of BDNF and decrease in Nogo-A in the cortical areas after ELF-MF exposure led to facilitation of motor and sensorimotor functions of the hindlimb in cSCI rats. It is concluded that external magnetic fields have the potential to regulate the expression of various cortical plasticity associated proteins, but the temporal pattern of expression is preserved after injury.

Published: June 2024

Urosepsis, is a severe systemic infection resulting from a urinary tract infection (UTI) that has spread to the bloodstream. Urosepsis management is challenging, especially in immunocompromised oncology patients.
In this retrospective study, we characterized the urosepsis cases in oncology patients between 2019 and 2023. Of the 337 cases, males were the most affected group (p = 0.039). Similar to other studies Escherichia coli was the most common cause of urosepsis in our oncology patients. None of the analyzed variables showed any statistical significance associated with urosepsis. These include type of tumor (liquid or solid), nephrostomy, double J stent, Diabetes Mellitus, length of stay, and presence of a central line.
Our study was the first study from Palestine that looked at urosepsis in oncology patients. The overall challenge in urosepsis in our oncology patients remains to be the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in the isolated urosepsis pathogens.

Pessoas com deficiência, especialmente deficiência mental, doenças ou outras alterações neurológicas, possuem dificuldades para o autocuidado diário, necessitando de auxílio dos cuidadores. O presente estudo objetivou conhecer a qualidade de vida da pessoa com deficiência e de seu cuidador, a sobrecarga de seu cuidador e o impacto das extrações de dentes com infecção ou dor sobre a qualidade de vida de ambos. Para isso, entre os anos de 2020-2021, foram avaliadas 40 pessoas: 20 pacientes com deficiência mental, doenças ou outras alterações neurológicas, que necessitavam realizar extrações de dentes com histórico de infecção e/ou dor e 20 respectivos cuidadores. Ambos os grupos responderam o instrumento de avaliação da Qualidade de Vida (WHOQOL-Bref) sobre o paciente. Os cuidadores responderam também o instrumento da escala de Burden Interview para avaliar a sobrecarga por cuidar da pessoa com deficiência. Não foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas no questionário de qualidade de vida no Domínio Físico (p = 0,930), Domínio Psicológico (p = 0,314), Domínio relações sociais (p= 0,620) e Domínio Ambiental (p= 0,894). Todos os cuidadores relataram que os impactos causados após a exodontia na qualidade de vida do filho ou irmão impactaram a sua própria qualidade de vida. Com a extração de dentes com histórico de dor e/ou infecção, observou-se melhora qualitativa na saúde física, sensibilidade local, alimentação e sono da pessoa com deficiência, o que impactou diretamente na vida do cuidador, sendo unânime o relato de que houve melhora na qualidade de vida de ambos com a resolutividade do problema odontológico.

Jaundice is the most common problem of newborns. Around 60% term and 80% preterm neonate develop neonatal jaundice during first week of life. Neonatal jaundice is defined as yellowish discoloration of skin and sclera. Icterus appear on face when serum bilirubin level exceeds 5mg/dl. This is called physiological jaundice. It is usually noticeable when the baby is 2 to 4 days old. Most of the time, it does not cause problems and goes away within 2 weeks. Symptoms may include excess sleepiness or poor feeding. Complications may include seizures, cerebral palsyor kernicterus. The condition affects over half of babies in the first week of life. Of babies that are born early about 80% are affected. Globally over 100,000 late-preterm and term babies die each year as a result of jaundice. The need for treatment depends on bilirubin levels, the age of the child, and the underlying cause.Treatments may include more frequent feeding, phototherapy, or exchange transfusions.In those who are born early more aggressive treatment tends to be required.Physiologic jaundice generally lasts less than seven days.

FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH ACCEPTANCE AND REFUSAL FOR PPIUCD AT TERTIARY CARE TEACHING HOSPITAL IN MAHARASHTRA
Authors: Rajput Niharika , Bangal V.B.
Published: June 2024

Background: Postpartum Intrauterine Contraceptives (PPIUCDs) offer a highly effective, reliable, cost effective,non hormonal, immediately reversible, long active contraception which can be used immediately after birth and has no negative effects on breast feeding. Despite these benefits, the acceptance and utilization of immediate PPIUCD were very low and the reasons for rejecting immediate PPIUCD usage have not been characterized in Maharashtra. This study aims to determine the level of acceptability and factors associated with rejection of immediate PPIUCD use among women who gave birth at Pravara Institute of Medical Sciences, Loni, Maharashtra. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted from August to September 2023 at Pravara Institute of Medical Sciences, Loni, Maharashtra. Three hundred fifty-one women were randomly selected and were interviewed using structured and pre-tested questionnaire. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 21, and results were found to be statistically significant (p-value <0.05). Results: The acceptance of immediate PPIUCD usage was found to be 22.5%. The reasons for rejection of PPIUCD use were husband refusal (35.9%), religious beliefs (33.7%), and concern and fears of complications (30.4%). Women who had completed secondary education were more likely to accept PPIUCD usage than those who had no formal education. There was a higher inclination of PPIUCD use in women who had attended 3 antenatal care visits than those who did not attend the antenatal care visits for current pregnancy. Conclusions: Currently the acceptance rate for PPIUCD is low. This is mostly attributed to low education of the couple, male partners refusal and religious beliefs, and perceived fear and concerns regarding complications associated with the insertion of PPIUCD. Higher inclination for PPIUCD insertion among counselled women during Antenatal Care visits indicates the importance of patients and partners counselling regarding benefits of PPIUCDs, correction of fear and concerns regarding the procedure and the need for proper family planning.

Background: Pregnancy is defined as the period from conception to birth. After the egg is fertilized by a sperm and then implanted in the lining of the uterus, it develops into the placenta and embryo and later into foetus. Pregnancy usually lasts for 40 weeks, beginning from the 1st day of the womens last menstrual period and lasting for 3 months. The changes observed in the system from conception to pregnancy, are principally the following namely- amenorrhoea, morning sickness, fatigue, heart burn, increased salivary discharge, occasionally depravity of appetite , headache, irritability of temper, the pressure of increasing pregnancy, protrusion of umbilicus, sometimes, varicose, swellings of the lower extremities, the breast also enlarge, an areola or brown circle is observed around the nipples and a secretion of lymph, composed of milk and water takes place. There had been over 30 million women who have experienced pregnancy and 27 millions have live births in a whole year in India. It also has been estimated that about 21 million girls aged between 15-19 years in developing regions become pregnant and approximately 12 million of them give birth. Stress can be defined as a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation. Stress is a natural human response that prompts us to address challenges and threats in our lives. It usually happens when a person is in a situation that he or she do not feel like they can manage or control. Stress in pregnancy may lead to higher blood pressure. This puts the pregnant women at risk of serious increased blood pressure, called pre-eclampsia, preterm birth and having a low birth weight infant. Stress may also affect how someone respond to certain situations. There are various reasons which can results stress among pregnant woman. Methods: This chapter deals with the description of research methodology. It is most important in research as it is the framework in conducting study. It indicates general pattern for organizing the procedure together valid and reliable data for investigations. It includes research designs, population and sample, sampling technique, inclusion and exclusion criteria, instruments, data collection and methods of data collection procedure and data analysis plan. Results: Through this study we came to the conclusion that the maximum samples or the pregnant women had somewhat recovered from their increasing level of stress by the interventions of art therapy that was provided to them for fifteen days and also the mean value of the pretest and the post test score is 20.01 and 14.4, respectively.
El Poder y la naturaleza política: el caso del Covid-19
Authors: Montalvo Cantú Juan Francisco
Published: June 2024

El artículo reflexiona sobre la naturaleza política del hombre y su relación con el poder político en algunas de sus diferentes facetas, ubicándose en el contexto de la pandemia de Covid-19, las medidas sanitarias que se tomaron, y el posterior retorno a la “nueva normalidad” para señalar cómo, a pesar de los intentos del poder objetivado por expandirse, la libertad humana siempre resurge limitando los avances del control político. Se argumenta que el ser humano es intrínsecamente político, buscando vivir en comunidad y desarrollarse plenamente en ella. Basado en Byung-Chul Han, José Antonio Marina y Michel Foucault, se define el poder como la capacidad de convertir proyectos individuales o colectivos en realidad, mientras que el poder objetivado (concepto tomado de Bertrand de Jouvenel, denominado por este como “Poder”) se presenta como una entidad autónoma que busca expandirse y perpetuarse a través del aparato de gobierno. Se introduce el concepto foucaultiano de biopoder, como la capacidad del poder para controlar y regular los cuerpos individuales y la población en su conjunto. Se discute por qué el poder objetivado renunció al control total sobre los cuerpos durante la pandemia, argumentando que la naturaleza política del hombre y la resistencia a las medidas extremas de control, junto con las repercusiones económicas negativas y el descontento popular, llevaron a este a retractarse. Se advierte sobre la posibilidad de que el poder objetivado busque establecer formas más sutiles, pero igualmente efectivas de control en el futuro, aprovechando la falta de conciencia política de la población.
Aproximación teórica de la donación de sentido en la praxis educativa de la Fisioterapia
Authors: Vargas Contreras Glenda Margarita , Oliveira Marques Marta María
Published: June 2024

En el presente devenir heurístico las investigadoras discurren, a propósito de algunas teorías y enfoques trasversales en Ciencias de la Educación, en la construcción del tejido teórico y epistemológico desde la problematización -debate entre corporeidad y corporalidad-, toda vez que se ha alcanzado a cuestionar los cimientos teóricos fundamentales de la cinestesia (fisioterapia) en la concepción de la sanación, interesándose por las epistemologías del cuerpo que piensa, y que también siente. Y con ello, si tal carga epistémica encuentra los primeros aprestos de un recorrido metodológico hermenéutico-dialógico que vuelque los supuestos categoriales que deben emerger en la posibilidad de un constructo teórico de la donación de sentido en la praxis educativa. Para ello, los referentes teóricos rectores que soportaron esta aproximación onto-epistémica desde corrientes monistas-positivistas a corrientes de la subjetividad: Gallego (2007), Rancière (2016), Bourdieu (2002),  Merlau-Ponty (1994), Morin (1998), Daniels y Worthingham (2002). Todos ellos, constituyen el andamiaje de significaciones categoriales a partir de sus enfoques comportando los desafíos del enseñar y aprender desde las particularidades del campo de la cinestesia que influyen en las focalizaciones de la educación. Se plantea en este discurrir un trasvase que va desde el monismo metodológico en la enseñanza de la Fisioterapia reducido a técnicas, enfocado en la corporeidad del paciente supeditado al síntoma, diagnóstico y tratamientos acordados; a un giro epistémico que coloca la relación de la corporalidad abarcadora mas allá de la técnica, al comprender y reconocer en la Pedagogía de la subjetividad que la salud-enfermedad es intersubjetividad paciente-participante-estudiante-participante.

Published: June 2024

This paper addresses the scientific production published worldwide on the Scopus indexer, aiming to understand the current state of scientific knowledge on the educational interfaces of microlearning. Based on an exploratory-descriptive bibliometric search using the descriptors microlearning and education on Scopus, the metadata was exported and processed using the bibliometric analysis program VOSviewer®. The quantitative search found 99 articles published mostly since 2019, from 37 countries, especially the United States. The qualitative discussion through content analysis revealed six thematic categories: formal educational innovations through microlearning; microlearning in the continuing education of health professionals; microlearning in informal education; the potential of microlearning; digital mobile microlearning; and methodologies for implementing and evaluating microlearning. We concluded that microlearning is transdisciplinary and is strengthened using active methodologies, superior design, short activity times, and the responsible use of artificial intelligence. Indeed, investing in teacher training for qualified work such as microlearning is crucial, as is stimulating studies in countries of the global south and east, where production is still scarce.

Authors: Fabregat Barrrios Santiago , Jodar Jurado Rocío
Published: June 2024

La incorporación de metodologías y de recursos virtuales activos en entornos de Educación Superior presencial no constituye un fenómeno nuevo. Estos modelos mixtos (blended learning), que experimentaron un importante impulso durante la COVID-19, se inscriben en un contexto que otorga un papel de mayor protagonismo a los estudiantes mediante propuestas como el aprendizaje cooperativo virtual o la gamificación superficial. El presente trabajo muestra los resultados obtenidos en una investigación cuasi experimental realizada en el Grado de Educación Infantil de la Universidad de Jaén en la asignatura de Didáctica del Lenguaje Oral y Escrito I en la que participaron 181 estudiantes, con los que se desarrolló este modelo mixto de enseñanza, y 162 estudiantes que formaron parte del grupo de control. Los resultados evidencian una mejora significativa en las tasas de éxito de la asignatura y refuerzan la pertinencia de combinar la enseñanza presencial y virtual en contextos formales propios de la Educación Superior como modelo docente.

Building Collaboration, Solidarity, and Empowerment for Enterprise Actors in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia: Towards an Adaptation of Digital Platforms
Authors: Izudin Ahmad , Fittaqiya Sheima
Published: June 2024

This article attempts to identify the role of communities in transforming economics in the digital age. A case study approach was selected in Yogyakarta City to understand the changing roles of local people in technological advancements. The findings of this research illustrate that the government initiative program, known as “Gage” (Gandeng-Gendong), has evolved into a new space of mediatization for developing entrepreneurial activities through a digital platform. The stakeholder initiation also contributes to the solidity of community bonding by engaging local businesses in developing the incubator entrepreneur, leading to more effective product adaptation to meet consumer needs. It is important that the involvement of three key stakeholder roles, such as Academicians, Businesses, and Government (ABG), be actively integrated into developing digital platform users. This study has evaluated the conflict between human roles and technological advancements. If our understanding of human beings fails to adapt to digital media and illiteracy persists, it could lead to alienation. However, effectively managing enterprise platforms through e-commerce and collaborative pathways can be viewed as a new asset in fostering community development on a larger scale.

Revisión cienciométrica (1990-2022) del ciclo del carbono y los flujos de CO2 y CH4 de manglares
Authors: Vázquez-Benavides Judith , Alvarado-Barrientos Ma. Susana , Pineda-López María del Rosario
Published: June 2024

Los manglares son ecosistemas costeros estratégicos frente al cambio climático, pero aún existen vacíos de conocimiento sobre la dinámica del gran reservorio de carbono que contienen. Se presenta un análisis cienciométrico sobre el ciclo del carbono en manglares, con especial interés en los flujos de CO2 y CH4. El término “carbono azul” es actualmente distintivo de la literatura científica, sobresaliendo como palabra clave en publicaciones de 380 revistas. La geografía de dicha revisión muestra que la mayoría de las publicaciones presentan resultados de estudios en sitios localizados en China (160), seguido por Indonesia (128), India (92), Australia (78) y EE. UU. (62). Las publicaciones con sitios de estudio en Latinoamérica representan 15% (114), en las que resaltan Brasil (52) y México (44). A pesar de que las publicaciones sobre flujos de carbono aumentaron en los últimos años, los estudios enfocados a los almacenes siguen siendo los más numerosos (68%). De las publicaciones sobre flujos, más de 70% registran flujos verticales (i.e. con la atmósfera) del suelo (inundado o no), y los sitios conservados fueron los más estudiados. Dada la necesidad imperante de comprender el potencial de mitigación del cambio climático que tienen los manglares, es importante incrementar el estudio de flujos laterales y verticales bajo un enfoque multiescalar y en diversos contextos costeros, dando especial atención a manglares en restauración bajo diferentes legados de degradación. Abordar estos vacíos en la comunicación escrita científica es crucial para la toma de decisiones sobre la conservación y restauración de manglares.

Authors: Parın Fatma Nur
Published: June 2024

Citronella essential oil (CEO) has antibacterial characteristics that can be used in medical applications. Polyvinyl alcohol/acrylamide (PVA/AAm) hydrogels including CEO were stabilized utilizing beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) carbonhydrate-based material. In this context, PVA polymer, and AAm monomer were used as matrix (water phase) whereas CEO and (oil phase) and carbohydrate-based β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) were used in the emulsion system as an active agent and an emulsifier, respectively. The β-CD/CEO inclusion complexes were introduced to PVA/AAm hydrogels in different ratios (1:0.25, 1:0.5, and 1:1% w/v), and to obtain Pickering hydrogels by combining UV and freeze-thawing and anneal-swelling methods, respectively. The influence of different β-CD/CEO ratios on the morphological, physical, hydrophilicity and antibacterial efficiency of PVA/AAm was studied, as well. Although the amount of CEO increased, the hydrophilicity of hydrogels increased, while the swelling properties of hydrogels decreased. Moreover, the hydrogel with the highest amount of CEO showed the highest value of antibacterial activity against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The resulting Pickering hydrogels (PEHs) can be a potential use as tissue expander for many medical field.

This study aims to establish the mechanical properties of boron-doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin film. Mechanical properties are important for engineering applications and are a focus of engineering materials. Using the spray pyrolysis process, a thin coating of boron-doped (ZnO) is created on a soda lime glass substrate at a variable percentage. An iron-constantan thermocouple was used to monitor the substrate's temperature while the film was being deposited at different temperatures. Metallurgical microscopy was used to determine the mechanical characteristics of the doped and undoped samples, including hardness, impact, and tensile strength. The results indicated that when zinc oxide is doped, variations in impact and hardness values are detected, and maximum stress increases with dopant concentration. However, when zinc oxide is undoped, stress and hardness increase with temperature.

Employing Bloch-Elkon's approach (2007), we analyzed 450 news articles from The Washington Post (192), The New York Times (171), and The Wall Street Journal (87). The findings reveal that the media favored Bin Laden more in both analyzed periods and emphasized security-related themes in both cases.
Desempleo durante la pandemia por Covid-19 en Estados Unidos. Un análisis interseccional
Authors: Caicedo Maritza
Published: June 2024

En este artículo se analizan las diferencias en desempleo entre los inmigrantes de América Latina y el Caribe y la población estadounidense -blancos y afroaestadounidenes- entre 2019 y 2021.  Se observan estadísticas descriptivas y se ajustan modelos de probabilidad para identificar aspectos asociados al desempleo. Encontramos que, si bien las diferencias en la probabilidad de estar desempleado durante la pandemia se asociaron a los niveles de educación de la población, la intersección de la raza, la etnia y el sexo cumplieron un rol central en las disparidades encontradas. Comprobamos que para los hombres y mujeres negras aumentó la probabilidad de estar desempleado durante la pandemia. Los inmigrantes latinoamericanos no blancos fueron más proclives al desempleo.
