FACTORS OF TENSION IN SOCIETY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NORTHERN IRISH CONFLICT
Authors: Vozmitel M. K.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the causes of social tension in Northern Ireland in the 60s of the XX century. The author analyzes the social, economic and political causes of disunity and instability in the region. Special attention is paid to the problem of the existence of two ethno-religious communities: Irish Catholics and British Protestants. The economic heterogeneity of society, disproportions in representation in legislative and executive authorities, and the lack of mechanisms for protecting the rights of minorities are considered. These factors, according to the author, contributed to the growth of social tension and radicalization of communities.

Cathodic Protection Potential Distribution and Anode Ground Bed Optimization Scheme for Low-Pressure City Gas Pipe
Authors: Zhuang Dawei , Du Chen , Liang Yi , Li Xian , Cao Zhongtao , Du Yanxia
Published: September 2024

The low-pressure gas pipes in some old residence communities of China are often electrically connected and groundings, which brings about great challenges to the design of cathodic protection (CP) systems due to large CP current consumption and attenuation effects. The field tests on the potential distribution of three types of anode ground beds were conducted, including a deep well auxiliary anode ground bed, shallow auxiliary anode ground bed far from gas pipes, and shallow auxiliary anode ground bed close to gas pipes. The results showed that the shallow auxiliary anode ground bed close to the gas pipe provided more protection with less current than the other two types of ground bed. Numerical simulations on CP potential distribution of different anode ground beds were conducted and the boundary conditions were determined by inversion calculation based on field tests. Based on the field test and numerical simulation results, the anode ground bed suitable for CP of low-pressure gas pipes electrically connected to groundings is the shallow auxiliary anode ground bed close to gas pipes and the optimized distribution scheme for shallow anode ground beds was proposed.

Authors: Rodrigues Rita de Cássia Rebouças , Guedes Julio Cledson de Oliveira , Barbosa Junior Francisco Welligton de Sousa , Martins José Clerton de Oliveira
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo busca identificar as etapas da jornada heroica captadas do enredo da obra Vidas Secas (2018), de Graciliano Ramos, e vividas pelo personagem retirante Fabiano. Com esse fim, realizamos uma revisão narrativa de literatura sobre o âmbito conceitual convocado, com foco em um prisma junguiano, o que serviu de base para a análise do personagem em seu percurso interno e externo ao decorrer da obra. Isso nos permitiu a interpretação de que Fabiano percorre as doze etapas da jornada heroica, em que percebemos um ciclo em que se expressam, por exemplo, as relações entre seu caminho de herói, os complexos familiares, e como o personagem os vive, assim como seu renascimento para outras possibilidades. Tal percurso vivido por Fabiano nos permite tanto a percepção deste enquanto um herói que, a cada instante, vive desafios, assim como nos convoca a nossa percepção sobre nós próprios enquanto heróis, Fabianos que vivem entre a seca e a abundância.

A INFLUÊNCIA DA MÍDIA NA PERCEPÇÃO DE SEGURANÇA PÚBLICA: ANÁLISE CRÍTICA E IMPACTOS SOCIAIS
Authors: Cavagnolli Roni , Machado Elsiane
Published: September 2024

A mídia exerce uma influência significativa na percepção pública da segurança, moldando a maneira como a sociedade vê a criminalidade e a violência. A exposição frequente a notícias sensacionalistas sobre crimes pode criar uma sensação exacerbada de insegurança, que nem sempre reflete a realidade dos dados criminais. Essa distorção da percepção pode levar a pressões por políticas públicas mais rígidas e a uma visão negativa das instituições de segurança. Além disso, a cobertura midiática tende a reforçar estereótipos e preconceitos, contribuindo para a estigmatização de certos grupos sociais. A falta de uma abordagem equilibrada e informada no tratamento de questões de segurança pode resultar em uma sociedade mais polarizada e ansiosa. Ao revisar a literatura sobre o tema, este estudo explora os impactos sociais dessa dinâmica, identificando como a mídia pode tanto contribuir para uma maior conscientização sobre os desafios da segurança pública quanto para uma percepção distorcida e alarmista da realidade. Destaca-se a importância de uma cobertura responsável e ética, que equilibre a necessidade de informar com a responsabilidade de não incitar o medo ou reforçar visões equivocadas sobre a segurança pública.

UNRAVELING THE GENETIC AND BIOLOGICAL INTRICACIES OF ANESTHESIA FOR CHRONIC PAIN: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF COMT GENE VARIATIONS AND THEIR IMPACT ON TREATMENT EFFICACY ACROSS ETHNICITIES
Authors: Arruda Rafael Augusto Jesus , Destefani Vinícius Côgo , Destefani Afrânio Côgo
Published: September 2024

Chronic pain management remains a significant challenge, with individual responses to anesthesia and analgesics varying widely due to genetic and biological factors. This review explores the influence of the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene, particularly the Val158Met polymorphism, on pain sensitivity and opioid efficacy across different ethnicities. COMT variations play a crucial role in modulating pain perception and analgesic response, with Met allele carriers generally exhibiting higher pain sensitivity and lower opioid requirements. Ethnic differences in COMT gene frequencies further impact anesthesia efficacy, underscoring the importance of personalized pain management strategies. The review also discusses the potential of pharmacogenetic approaches, a beacon of hope for improving treatment outcomes. It highlights emerging technologies in genetic-based pain management, such as epigenetic modulation and gene editing.
Postoperative Supine Sleeping Position Following Total Knee Arthroplasty Decreases Knee Flexion Contractures
Authors: Zondervan Robert L. , Riggle Patrick K. , Cien Adam J. , Penny Philip C. , Cochran Jason M.
Published: September 2024

Background

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an orthopaedic operation that improves quality of life and reduces pain in patients with disabling arthritis of the knee. One commonly recognized postoperative complication is flexion contracture of the knee. While early physical therapy and range of motion (ROM) exercises have helped improve ROM postoperatively, flexion contractures still remain a significant postoperative complication of TKA.

This study evaluated postoperative sleeping position and its effect on terminal knee extension and ROM following primary TKA. We hypothesized that patients who slept in the supine position would achieve earlier knee extension and ROM when compared to those in the lateral recumbent position.

Methods

A total of 150 consecutive primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) were conducted by a single surgeon (JMC). Prospective data collection included assessments of preoperative range of motion (ROM), postoperative ROM, patient-reported outcome measures, and sleeping positions. Functional outcomes and patient-reported measures were compared between pre- and postoperative phases, as well as across different sleeping position groups.

Results

Postoperative follow up was a mean of 29.6 days. Mean postoperative terminal extension ROM at one month was 2.98 degrees in the supine group versus 6.03 degrees in the lateral group (P < 0.001). Overall, there was significant improvement in patient reported outcome measures (WOMAC, Oxford, and pain) after surgery, but no difference existed between sleeping groups. For knee extension, a two-way ANOVA revealed that there was a statistically significant interaction between the effects of surgery and sleep position (p = 0.0053).

Conclusions

Our results demonstrate that sleeping position does affect initial postoperative knee terminal extension; however, there is no effect on patient reported outcomes. We found a statistically significant difference in extension when comparing patients in the supine versus lateral group. Patients who slept in the lateral position lacked 6.03 degrees of extension which is greater than the 5 degrees threshold needed for normal gait mechanics. Conversely, those in the supine group only lacked 2.98 degrees of extension, allowing for normal gait mechanics. This study identifies an easy, effective means of increasing patient knee range of motion following TKA.
Libertad económica y desarrollo en Chile: ¿El fin de una modernización acelerada?
Authors: PANIAGUA PABLO , ÓRDENES PATRICIO
Published: September 2024

This essay analyzes the evolution of economic freedom in Chile for the period 1970-2018. In light of the evidence, three periods of marked differences are presented for Chile: the “great expansion of economic freedom” (1980-1995), the “consolidation of economic freedom” (1995-2009) and the “stagnation and decline of economic freedom” (2010-2018). The essay argues that the expansion and subsequent stagnation of economic freedom in Chile is related to its successful development process and its current deterioration. The essay also uses the Chilean case as an illustration to make a key point in the theory of economic development, by showing that the relationship between institutions and development occurs through the speed by which economic freedoms expand over time and not necessarily through a technocratic and planned development process. This relationship between institutions and economic growth, via a general expansion of economic freedom, has not been recognized by development economics. The evidence for Chile suggests that the presence of institutions that dynamically promote high degrees of economic freedom is a sine qua non condition to sustain sustainable growth rates in the long run.
La curva de Laffer dinámica
Authors: J. DI GRIGOLI GALLARDO BRUNO
Published: September 2024

The renowned curve of the economist Arthur Laffer has been for years an illustrative and easy-to-understand tool that has been used by academics, politicians and tax experts of all branches to justify fiscal policies. However, this curve is not only insufficient, but is drawn on the basis of a static view of the economy and therefore not useful at all. Furthermore, diagnosing reality under the reasoning of the Laffer curve leads to the use of other disastrous tools such as thefiscal barometer used in Spain and in other countries. This article describes what the Laffer curve does and does not say. But more importantly, given its insufficiency, it is concluded that under a dynamic view of the economy, the curve could never be drawn, because there is no way to add the variables time and entrepreneurial creativity.

Authors: Leite João Guilherme Dal Belo , Correia Dheicy Luana Gomes , Deoti Diogo Antonio
Published: September 2024

O uso de agrotóxicos pode representar riscos à segurança alimentar, particularmente no Brasil, que, desde 2008, é o maior consumidor mundial. O objetivo principal deste estudo é investigar a presença de resíduos de agrotóxicos em alimentos in natura comercializados na região Oeste de Santa Catarina entre os anos de 2013 e 2018, utilizando dados do Programa Alimento Sem Risco (PASR). A série histórica abrange 23 alimentos, coletados em pontos de comercialização e estabelecimentos rurais, e agrupados em três categorias: sem resíduo, com resíduo, e desconformes. Os resultados demonstram que, em média, 17% das amostras analisadas entre 2013 e 2018 estão em condição desconforme. Destaque para o pimentão, que apresentou 70% das amostras nessa condição. A desconformidade é, na maioria das vezes, causada pela identificação de ingredientes ativos sem registro para cultura. Os ingredientes ativos identificados em 97% correspondem a inseticidas (54%) e fungicidas (43%). Os resultados reforçam a importância do monitoramento, da fiscalização e de práticas agrícolas capazes de mitigar riscos do uso de agrotóxicos para o meio ambiente e a saúde humana.

Predictors of thyroid cancer survival in Saudi Arabia: A retrospective 10-year analysis
Authors: Bawazir Amen , Alhalafi Sadeem , Al-Aidaross Omer , Jazieh Abdulrahman , Khan Wasif Ali
Published: September 2024

Background: Thyroid cancer (TC) is becoming more prevalent in Saudi Arabia, currently ranking among the top three cancers affecting women. Despite its rising prevalence, there has been limited assessment of the factors influencing the survival rate (SR) among the Saudi population over an extended period. Therefore, this study aims to address this critical gap in knowledge by identifying the factors affecting the SR of TC, comparing the SR with previous studies, and exploring potential areas for improving the SR of patients.

Methods: A retrospective study analyzed secondary data from patients diagnosed with TC, as recorded in the King Abdulaziz Medical City Cancer Registry in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, over 10 years from 2009 to 2018.

Results: Of the total 665 TC cases, the mean age at diagnosis was 46.2 years (±SD 16), and most patients were women (78.5%), with the majority being under 50 years old. The most common type of cancer was papillary thyroid carcinoma, comprising 88.6% of all TCs. Over half of the cases were localized to one of the lobes of the thyroid gland, with almost equal frequency between the two lobes. The 5-year SR of localized papillary thyroid carcinoma reached 96.5%, in contrast to the extremely low SR of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, where most patients died within a few months of the diagnosis. Factors such as morphology, tumor extension, male gender, and age at diagnosis significantly impacted patient survival, as analyzed by the Kaplan–Meier test (p < 0.001). Compared to other types of cancer, those with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma had a lower SR.

Conclusion: The SR of TC patients is predicted by factors such as their age, morphological type, and the presence of distant metastasis.
Liver ultrasound evaluation of acutely increased liver function tests of COVID-19 hospitalized patients
Authors: Almughalles Salah , Khojaly Shazaly N. , Nashwan Abdulqadir J. , Darweesh Adham
Published: September 2024

Background: The incidence of hepatic abnormalities has been notably higher following the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, attributed to the virus’s entry into cells via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) surface expression. The gastrointestinal tract’s significant ACE2 expression, alongside a lesser degree in the biliary epithelium, has been implicated in gastrointestinal symptoms and liver injury.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether specific ultrasonographic findings in the liver correlate with acute increases in liver function tests (LFTs) among hospitalized patients.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on hospitalized COVID-19 patients at Hazem Mebaireek General Hospital in Qatar, from March 1, 2020, to June 30, 2020. The study focused on patients who experienced acute increases in LFTs, excluding those with chronic liver disease. Ultrasound imaging and patient records were reviewed to gather data.

Results: Out of 223 ultrasound studies of COVID-19 patients, 158 met the inclusion criteria. The majority were male, with a mean age of 47.76 ± 13.76 years. Ultrasound results showed 43.7% normal liver parenchyma, while 56.3% exhibited nonspecific abnormalities such as diffuse liver hyperechogenicity (39.2%), enlargement with diffuse hyperechogenicity (12.7%), and other findings (4.4%). The biliary tree was predominantly normal (96.2%), with 3.8% showing abnormalities, including intrahepatic (2.5%) and extrahepatic (1.3%) dilatation. Gallbladder evaluations were normal in 60.1% of cases, with 39.9% showing abnormalities like stones (6.3%), stones with sludge (13.3%), polyps (6.3%), wall thickening (1.9%), and other conditions (12%). A significant correlation was found between abnormal liver parenchyma findings and elevated levels of bilirubin (total and direct) and alkaline phosphatase, with p-values < 0.05. Only aspartate aminotransferase levels showed a significant correlation with biliary tree abnormalities.

Conclusion: The most common ultrasonographic finding associated with acute increases in LFTs among hospitalized COVID-19 patients was diffuse liver hyperechogenicity, with or without enlargement. These findings suggest a nonspecific yet significant association with liver function anomalies in the context of COVID-19.
DAANISH: A mnemonic to aid in memorizing and recalling important strategies contributing to the prevention of perioperative stroke
Authors: Mitarnun Witoon
Published: September 2024

Background: Perioperative stroke, defined as a stroke occurring within 30 days post-surgery, typically emerges within the first week. The incidence of perioperative stroke among adults undergoing non-cardiac and non-neurological surgeries ranges from 0.1% to 1% after a surgical intervention. Mortality rates following perioperative stroke surge, reaching up to eight times higher than controls, with approximately one in four cases resulting in death. Fortunately, various strategies are available to potentially prevent perioperative strokes. However, the vast amount of data poses challenges for physicians in memorization and recall for clinical use. This study aims to summarize essential perioperative stroke prevention strategies and determine an effective mnemonic for their memorization and recall.

Method: The initial search in PubMed focused solely on review articles published within the last 10 years. It utilized the keywords “perioperative stroke” and “prevention.”

Results: An initial search found 39 articles, with two suitable for review. Using data from selected review articles, further searches were conducted on Google Scholar and PubMed for articles from 2000 to 2024, identifying 30 additional suitable references. From these 32 articles, the author developed a mnemonic, “DAANISH,” to aid in remembering strategies for preventing perioperative stroke.

Conclusion: Implementing this mnemonic may help reduce the risk of perioperative stroke and improve patient outcomes. Future research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.

Okuzbeks, Their Language, Place in Society and Culture
Authors: Lafasov Urak
Published: September 2024

In this article (“Okuzbeks, their language, place in society and culture”), it is stated that the great creator is called “Kuk ulu” (Blue Great), the Turks “Tangri”, the Arabs “Allah”, the Persians “God” and all together four Biti (divine) books were revealed. The article also points out that the descendants of some of Noah’s nine sons are now known. It is also explained that the second name of Yofas ibn Nuh was Tur, that the ancestors of Tur were the creators of civilization of two (Mayan and Sumerian) generations of Uzbeks. The fact that the Romans called the Beksak (Geksak) from the Uzbeks the Hexos, that the descendants of Uzbeks (Kutji, Qiyat, Kongrat and Nayman) lived in Okuzi between the Okuz and Inju Okuz rivers, and that “okuz” (brave) and “bek” mean “leader”. It was noted that the ethnonym “Uzbek” was shortened to “Uzbek”. It is explained that the national dress of the Uzbeks (special “Qalpoq” cap, Bekasam ton, satin and Adras shirts) embodies mystical colors, and that the Uzbeks founded three scientific academies in the world (Baghdad, Khorezm and Samarkand). It is clearly stated that the name of the Caspian Sea was Elkun, and the name of the Aral Sea was Arang. Morover, it is fully explained that the distance between the two rivers, Amudarya and Syrdarya, was called Okuziya, Uzbek (Uspek) from ancient times until 1730, and the name of Uzbekistan has given from 1740. It is noted that the language based on the Uzbek dialect has been preserved since the time of Noah, and the ten-thousand-year-old toponym Elkun (Sunny place) was translated into Persian by the Munsaks three thousand years ago in the form of Khorazm (“Khavari azm” – “Sunny place”). In the 5th century, Qutluq (Eltarish) explained that the ethnonym kutji (“giver of happiness”) associated with the Khagan, acquired a new meaning. It is stated that Kutluq Khagan founded the Great Turkic Empire, Alexander the Great created the Yaban Empire, and Osman ibn Ertuğrul created the Great Ottoman Empire. In linguistics, it is recognized that the paronyms mung+ul (noble), mun+gul (herd) are distinguished, the world leader Temuchin Genghis Khan founded the First Great Mungul Empire, the world leader and master Amir Temur founded the Second Great Mungul Empire, and the famous ruler Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur founded the Third Great Mungul Empire. The Uzbek language terms “qur” (circle) and “qurultoy” (convention), “elnur” (culture), “yarariq” (“value”) are explained. It is reported that the Uzbeks respectfully salute by placing their hands on their chests like nobles. Currently, there is an opinion about the division of Uzbeks into pure Uzbeks (Kutji, Qiyat, Kongrat, Nayman), mixed Uzbeks (Oghuz) and composite Uzbeks (Qarluq and Chigil).I
Deformation in the Carbonate Rocks of the Lennard Shelf
Authors: Dörling S.L. , Dentith M.C. , Playford P.E.
Published: September 2024

Faulting is an important control during carbonate reef development and evolution, and is widely documented (e.g. Burchette, 1988; Crevello et al., 1 989: Tucker et al., 1990). Generally, the tectonic style during reef growth is characterized by phases of extension, rifting and subsidence associated with marine transgression. These tectonic processes exert a controlling role on reef development, in that they determine the spatial and geometric distribution of reefs, and reef-bounded platforms. Elongated reefal build-ups form parallel to subsiding passive cratonal margins (Wilson, 1990), or platforms develop over and around fault blocks along such borders (e.g. Burchette, 1988; Ellis et al., 1990). Narrow platform rims with a spectrum of carbonate facies, such as the Devonian reefs of the Lennard Shelf (Playford et al., 1989), may evolve fringing a major subsiding basin in which there are fault controls on reef distribution.

The movement of MVT-forming brines has been tied to the histories of adjacent sedimentary basins, but the precise causal link is still not well established because the timing of MVT mineralization is usually poorly constrained relative to basin evolution (see Chapter 1). Thus, the precise dating of MVT mineralization would allow discrimination among the various models for the transport of the fluids responsible for ore deposition.

Geological relationships which may give a time constraint on mineralization are often ambiguous. Until the successful development of Rb-Sr dating of sphalerite (Nakai et al., 1993), some deposits, such as Pine Point (Canada), were constrained only by the age of the host rocks representing the maximum age of the deposit, and a knowledge of when it was first found by man (see Garven and Sverjensky, 1 994; Lyons, 1994). On the Lennard Shelf we can be more precise because the deposits are hosted in Devonian limestones, and Zn-Pb mineralization in faults and veins is truncated by the unconformity at the base of the late Carboniferous and Permian Grant Group. Locally, as at Blendevale, detrital clasts of mineralized limestone are preserved in erosional channels filled with Grant Group sandstone, thus providing a minimum age for mineralization as late Carboniferous. However, as with MVT deposits worldwide, the precise date on mineralization is controversial.

Este trabajo presenta el diseño de la estrategia pedagógica para la enseñanza de la asignatura de servicios de hoteleros en el bachillerato técnico. Se recurrió a un enfoque epistemológico teórico, desarrollado a partir de un amplio análisis epistemológico a través de fuentes bibliográficas y documentales de alto impacto. En el análisis de la información se recurrió a métodos teóricos como: análisis, síntesis, hermenéutico y dialéctico. Se encuentra que, para tener un diseño adecuado de la estrategia se requiere estructurar un sistema de objetivos, acciones y actividades, para complementarlo con el seguimiento y la evaluación respectiva. Tras el estudio de validez de la estrategia se concluye que, la estructura es adecuada desde una perspectiva pedagógica, metodológica y didáctica, así también, la estrategia es pertinente, relevante y necesaria, dado que la educación experimenta cambios permanentes y esta emerge como un modo o manera de responder a las nuevas exigencias educativas en contextos diversos.

La investigación describe la correlación entre el liderazgo del profesorado y el desempeño profesional de estos importantes actores educativos. El trabajo de campo, se llevó a cabo en una institución de educación media y de sostenimiento privado en la República del Ecuador. Es una investigación cuantitativa, que recurrió al análisis de estadísticos descriptivos para identificar la relación entre las variables. Fueron 50 los individuos participantes en este estudio, se trabajó con toda la población, dado que, los investigadores contaron con los recursos y las posibilidades suficientes para acceder a esta, en todas las fases investigativas. Los resultados demuestran la existencia de un elevado nivel de liderazgo del profesorado, así como también, altos indicadores en su desempaño profesional. El estudio de correlación de Spearman dio como resultado que existe una correlación positiva moderada a fuerte, entre las variables objeto de estudio. Se destaca la relación significativa entre las variables, lo cual, demuestra que la asociación no es el resultado del azar. Estos hallazgos indican que potenciar el liderazgo del profesorado puede tener un efecto positivo en su desempeño profesional.

Los murales, ¿Quién dio la orden?, y el arte urbano como lugar de memoria
Authors: López Cruz Juan Simón
Published: September 2024

El espacio público de las ciudades funciona como un palimpsesto en el que se materializan una simultaneidad de espacios y tiempos que convierten la ciudad en un archivo repleto de documentos como capas sobrepuestas de memoria. Las obras de arte urbano, desde esta perspectiva, pueden ser comprendidas y estudiadas como marcaciones territoriales y entradas documentales en las que es posible leer las luchas por la apropiación del espacio como escenario de manifestación de memorias colectivas, plurales, fragmentadas y antagónicas de una sociedad determinada. En este contexto, el presente texto se propone estudiar el caso de los murales, ¿Quién dio la orden?, en Colombia, los cuales han sido elaborados, contra-elaborados y re-elaborados en varias ciudades del país desde el año 2019. El objetivo es indagar por los distintos relatos memoriales que, sobre las ejecuciones extrajudiciales, se construyen, materializan y enfrentan a través de estas obras.
Despojos y formas de agenciar futuro en América Latina
Authors: Villa Beltrán Anderson , Céspedes Arce Carolina , Llanos Cristian
Published: September 2024

La elaboración de este dossier para el número 223 de la revista concatenó diversas controversias y particularidades, producto de la confluencia de nutridos debates interdisciplinarios. El mismo nombre de la revista nos invitaba a considerar un horizonte de investigaciones entreveradas epistémicamente hablando. Nociones que permitieron reflexionar sobre las actuales tensiones entre los proyectos hegemónicos y los proyectos comunitarios que, en aras de construir sus propias nociones de futuro, involucran e impactan indistintamente cuerpos, economías, geografías y políticas. En ese sentido, siguiendo el título de la convocatoria: “Disputas territoriales: cuerpos, despojos y formas de agenciar futuro”, logramos abarcar diferentes miradas sobre dichas disputas. Evidenciamos procesos de expoliación y despojo de bienes comunes y derechos en Colombia y en el resto de América Latina; pero, al mismo tiempo, aquellas acciones de resistencia y reivindicación cultural que surgen como contrapeso a las prácticas cada vez más sofisticadas y, por lo general, violentas las cuales son producidas en nombre de las políticas de desarrollo impulsadas por la globalización neoliberal.
Capacidad anaerobia Fundamentos fisiológicos de la capacidad anaerobia: revisión sistemática
Authors: Martinez Gonzalez Joel Abraham
Published: September 2024

El máximo déficit acumulado de oxígeno (MAOD) es considerado el patrón oro para estimar la capacidad anaerobia (CAn); Pero sus dificultades metodológicas complican su estimación. Recientemente se ha propuesto un método denominado EPOCrápido+[LA-], que contempla la sumatoria entre el EPOCrápido y las concentraciones de lactato sanguíneo [LA-]. Dicho método promete ser válido, confiable y al igual que MAOD. El objetivo de la presente revisión sistemática fue recopilar información sobre el sustento fisiológico de la estimación de la CAn a través de este método.
La búsqueda se realizó en las bases de datos en línea: PubMed, Redalyc y Revista CAPES, además, se apegó a las recomendaciones propuesta por PRISMA. Se incluyeron artículos sobre las bases fisiológicas que fundamenta el uso de EPOCrápido+[LA-] y los artículos que expusieron su aplicación en el campo.
La base fisiológica que respalda a EPOCrápido+[LA-] como método para estimar la capacidad anaerobia se centra en la importancia del consumo de oxígeno (V̇O2) durante EPOCrápido ya que ese consumo es indispensable en la recuperación de las reservas de la fosfocreatina (PCr). Además, el equivalente de las [LA-] expresado en O2, pueden estimar la participación glucolítica en un ~50% de lo real durante el esfuerzo. Actualmente, existe evidencia para determinar que el método es sensible en detectar niveles de entrenamiento y cambios en la CAn producto del entrenamiento y/o el por el uso de ergogénicos. Por lo tanto, EPOCrápido+[LA-] puede ser empleado para estimar la bioenergética deportiva pero siempre tomando en cuenta la complejidad matemática de su estimación.
