Authors: MONTENEGRO Amanda Ximenes Couto Bem , MARTINS-COSTA Maria Cecilia , BRASIL Ivelise Regina Canito , DALLAGO Cristina Micheletto
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT Background: Thyroid dysfunction has been reported in association with several chronic diseases, including advanced liver disease. This disease and its management are often neglected in clinical practice. The bundle discussed here is aimed at proposing systematic assistance according to the best evidence-based practices available. Objective: To construct and validate a bundle to evaluate thyroid function in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods: The process of constructing and validating the bundle was carried out in the following stages: a) bibliographic survey; b) bundle elaboration; and c) content validation. The bibliographic survey was carried out in an integrative review about evidence related with the thyroid function of patients with liver cirrhosis. The findings from the integrative review were considered as supporting evidence for the elaboration of the bundle. The tool then created used accessible language and was evidence-based, ensuring that information was based on current literature. Results: The bundle was restructured to provide guidance on the management of patients with liver dysfunctions, including: cirrhosis due to general causes, cirrhosis due to hepatitis C, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, primary biliary cholangitis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The orientations in the bundle included: exams to be requested to screen for thyroid disorders, and guidance about the treatment of these dysfunctions and their associated complications. We analyzed specialist evaluation of the bundle using the Content Validity Index (CVI). We carried out a binomial test to evaluate consistency and specialist agreement regarding the items in the bundle, considering values >0.61 as a good level. The items in the bundle were considered to be valid (CVI >0.80). The general CVI of the instrument was 0.95 (CI95%: 0.91-0.98). Conclusion: The bundle was considered valid to facilitate medical decision making, aiding physicians to manage, in a practical and effective approach, the thyroid function of patients with liver cirrhosis. This tool should not be used as a replacement for individual, evaluation of the physician providing assistance. We recommend the structured bundle to be added to medical practice, considering its simple application, low cost, and potential to contribute for the management of these patients.
Students’ adaptive behaviors to Covid-19 impacts: a multidimensional analysis
Authors: Parreira Artur , Pestana Helena , Brandão Marcelle , Moutinho Luiz
Published: August 2023

Abstract This investigation had three objectives: (i) to evaluate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the emotional state and behavior of Higher Education students; (ii) to clarify the condition of students at the beginning of the pandemic; and (iii) to understand how they assess the impact and engage in adaptive behaviors. The sample involved 804 students in Brazil and Portugal. The results corroborate the hypotheses: the impact of the pandemic forced the emergence of energy dissipative structures; and student behavior stems not only from the negative emotional impact of Covid-19, but also from internal and external positive motivational factors. Online classes indicate three groups of students: enthusiasts, positive thinkers, and skeptics, with statistical differences between countries, gender, and professional status. The implementation of hybrid teaching should be considered to enhance student learning.
MARIA HELENA NOVAES: REFLEXÕES SOBRE CRIATIVIDADE ENTRE PSICOLOGIA, EDUCAÇÃO E ARTE (DÉCADA DE 1970)
Authors: Osinski Dulce Regina Baggio , Santini Jacyara Batista
Published: August 2023

Este artigo analisa a trajetória da psicóloga Maria Helena Novaes e suas relações com os projetos de educação em arte em discussão no contexto brasileiro da década de 1970. Dialogando com as reflexões de Levi e Bourdieu, o foco incide sobre seu percurso biográfico e respectivos campos de atuação, bem como sobre as principais produções, especialmente aquelas que se relacionam à arte e à criatividade no contexto educacional, utilizando, como fontes privilegiadas, textos publicados no jornal Arte & Educação e seu livro Psicologia da Criatividade. Num momento em que a busca do desenvolvimento da psicologia era objeto de diversos campos do conhecimento, ela se engajou no debate e nas ações para o estabelecimento da psicologia escolar, em prol da arte na educação e na defesa da criatividade como elemento essencial para a formação humana. Atuando em favor do desenvolvimento da criatividade na formação docente por meio de cursos, palestras e diversos escritos num momento em que ainda não havia formação superior consolidada nas áreas de ensino de arte e mesmo de psicologia, a educadora inseriu-se nos projetos de educação em arte e assumiu o papel de intervenção no campo educacional brasileiro.
NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF BUBBLE CLOUD FORMATION BY HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND USING THE GHOST FLUID METHOD COUPLED WITH BUBBLE DYNAMICS
Authors: Nakao Mebuki , Yamauchi Hideki , Ogasawara Mitsunobu , Takahira Hiroyuki
Published: August 2023

In this study, numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the growth of bubble nuclei and the corresponding bubble cloud formation in a pressure field given by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) backscattered from the bubble interface. A multiscale numerical method was developed to simulate the corresponding experiment, in which the overall pressure fields obtained by HIFU were solved using the ghost fluid method coupled with the bubble dynamics in the microscopic field. The validity of the present method was confirmed by the growth of a single bubble nucleus placed on the HIFU propagation axis. The formation of a cone-shaped bubble cloud that consisted of multiple layers of bubbles observed in the experiment was simulated successfully under the random distribution of initial bubble nuclei. The influence of the initial distribution of bubble nuclei on the cone-shaped bubble cloud formation was also investigated. The results showed that the shape of each bubble layer affects the final form of the bubble cloud since the negative pressure due to
backscattering from the HIFU is dependent on the shape of each bubble layer. A final bubble cloud shape was predicted by averaging the void fractions in all of the bubble nuclei distribution cases. The results showed that the averaged final shape of the bubble clouds matched the results observed
in the experiment: the distances between the first cavitation inception point and the laser-induced bubble interface and between the bubble layers in the cloud were in quantitative agreement with the experiments.
OPTIMAL DETECTION OF SIGNALS SEQUENTIALLY MODULATED BY PSEUDO NOISE IN RADAR FOR RESCUERS
Authors: Sytnik Oleg
Published: August 2023

Searching for living people under the rubble of buildings collapsed due to man-made or natural disasters, special radars play an important role, which allow you to see a living person behind optically opaque obstacles. The information sign of a living person in the reflected signal is the Doppler modulation
of the signal phase, due to the processes of breathing and heartbeats. This phase modulation has an ultralow frequency and can be effectively detected using long pseudo-noise probing signals, for example, based on Mersenne codes. To reduce inter-symbol interference in the code sequence, a linear correlation receiver is built. Its signal processing algorithm is based on all received patterns observed during a fixed interval. The decision in favor of the first character in the chosen code combination is made under the assumption of ideal feedback, which provides almost the maximum error probability characteristics in systems with a serial Mersenne code.
Article of RILEM TC 292-MCC: life cycle assessment (LCA) of non-metallic reinforcement for reinforcing concrete: manufacturing, durability, dismantling, recycling and reuse: a review
Authors: Kromoser Benjamin , Butler Marco , Hunger Martin , Kimm Magdalena , Kopf Florian , Mechtcherine Viktor , Pressmair Nadine , Traverso Marzia
Published: August 2023

The potential of non-metallic reinforcement to be an environmentally sustainable alternative to classic steel reinforcement in concrete has become evident in recent years. The high-performance fibres used to produce non-metallic reinforcement elements have a considerably lower weight to transferable tensile forces ratio and are almost non-corrosive under common exposures. These indicators allow for a high environmental performance throughout the extended life cycle of the product. At the same time, substantially more resources and energy per unit weight are required for their production in some cases, e.g. for carbon fibres, compared to conventional reinforcing steel. The presented work addresses this conflict by closing a number of obvious research gaps. Despite an increasing number of publications during the last years, so far there are no comprehensive sets of data available on the environmental impact of various concrete reinforcing materials. With the data compiled in this work, for the first time, an objective comparison of different reinforcement systems (conventional and alternative) is presented that differentiates various environmental impact categories and therefore enables to perform Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Other often observed shortcomings in sustainability assessments in concrete constructions are that an extension of the service life due to improved durability and the burden a material poses at the end of its life cycle are not considered. Comprehensive reviews of durability considerations help to develop an estimation of the service life. In addition, a state-of-the-art on possible strategies for dismantling, recycling and reuse of alternative non-metallic reinforcement systems shows that the composition of the FRPs, i.e., fibre and matrix materials, not only has a strong influence on the environmental impact in the production phase, but also on the durability as well as on a possible reuse.
Élelmi és gyógynövények jelentősége a gyógyítás korai kultúrtörténetében
Authors: Blázovics Blázovics , Horváth Balázs Zsigmond
Published: August 2023

For many thousands of years, men recognised, collected and cultivated vegetables, fruits, cereals and other herbs not only as food but also as medicine in many cases for fighting various diseases. Ethnomedicine and early scientific medicine incorporated gradually and empirically in their own specific way the aetiology, diagnostics and therapy. The way of recognising and treating conditions included beliefs and rational and irrational elements respectively. The knowledge enhanced over millennia resulted eventually in the development of healing systems. The early medical practices of European people were influenced primarily by Greco-Roman and Asia Minor scientific medicine that was based also on Old-Egyptian traditions. Remarkably, there is no detectable direct impact of Far Eastern or American Indian medicine on the European medical culture, the cause of which is not only the large distance but also the significant difference in understanding health and ill health. This overview based also on the authors’ former research in the history of medicine concerns only the findings equally relevant both in nutrition and medicine.
Medicina, lélekfilozófia, kutatástörténet
Authors: Gergely András
Published: August 2023

This essay focuses on interrelations among alternative aspects of medical knowledge and historically concerns the theoretical background of philosophical and anthropological works of the 18th and 19th centuries based on the Renaissance philosophy of humanity. The author determines the interpretive points of view in medicine and shows the development of relevant changes in social, historical and medical narratives in the modern ages. The first approach of criticism provides already a particular position in the oeuvre of Galeotto Marzio (Astrology, medical practice and physiognomic knowledge) a humanist researcher, which presents him as a philosopher of nature. The other interpretation of this historical timeline is the relation of Michel Foucault’s philosophical understanding of specific categories of power and sexuality in his works concerning the social sciences and historical criticism. This essay review focused on the popular and alternative thinkers of the 18th and 19th centuries while endeavoured to present the historical traditions and methods of the relevant body of knowledge based on alternative receipts and principles of medical and mechanical analogies of human interrelations. This point of view focused on some collective interpretations of the New Age historical presentation of some characteristics of the knowledge history and on the interpretation of messages targeting the present generation by means of critical methodology.
A nagyszombati gyógyszerészek artikulusai magyar nyelvű fordítás és az eredeti latin nyelvű szövege
Authors: Tuza Csilla , Kincses Katalin , Dobson Szabolcs
Published: August 2023

Perhaps the most important old Hungarian pharmacy-related document of the past decades surfaced in 2022: the “Articuli Pharmacopolarum Tyrnaviensium” (Pharmacist regulations of Trnava /a town, now in West-Slovakia, the former Nagyszombat in the realm of the old Hungarian Kingdom. The regulation was issued in 1748 in Latin by Maria Theresa, Empress of the Habsburg Empire and Queen of Hungary. The seller, who Szabolcs Dobson MD bought the Documentum from, was a private individual and was not aware of its content. In Hungary, it was the first regulation issued for a pharmacists’ local community that provided a minute, real, graphic and lively picture of this town’s pharmaceutical professionals and the contemporary therapeutic practice and guidelines. There was a printed document of these regulations published in 1852 by Ferenc Linzbauer in its original Latin version. Ignác Schwarz published the first Hungarian translation in 1894. However, this translation was incomplete and missed about one-third of the original core text. The present study contains the first entire Hungarian wording of the “Articuli Pharmacopolarum Tyrnaviensium” prepared by Csilla Tuza and Katalin Kincses.

A testmozgás gyógyító ereje
Authors: Kovács Barbara Petra
Published: August 2023

Nomadic people having walked barefoot on uneven ground, had a perfect posture because they used their spines and bodies functionally every day. Today's man is hunching to a display while using smart devices, is struggling overweight, and has a sedentary lifestyle, making thus sick his body and soul alike. By exploding technology, the physical activity level of today's man has dropped dramatically. During the latest history of human evolution, we have left behind a very important thing: the motivation for moving. People are no longer as motivated to exercise for their stamina as they were used to in the past. The purpose of this study is to provide everyone with an interesting and detailed overview of the history and importance of therapeutic exercise, starting from its ancient origins, through the European and American gymnastics and physical education systems, to the development and spreading of yoga and therapeutic gymnastics today.
A természetvizsgáló Csontváry
Authors: Csorba F. László
Published: August 2023

Tivadar Kostka Csontváry is revered as a visionary and mystical painter, but it is rather not emphasised that he was also a meticulous observer and scientifically trained interpreter of nature. This study analyses his painting Great Tarpatak in the Tatras to show the influence that had the contemporary natural sciences (geology, evolutionary biology, psychology, spectroscopy) and trends that revitalised art (ballet, photography and the moving image) on Csontváry. His paintings and writings proved that his lifelong interest and commitment to the natural sciences were a defining part of his mystical vision of the world.

Auch in Deutschland bringt der fortschreitende Klimawandel häufigere und heftigere Extremwetterereignisse mit sich. Dies hat bereits jetzt eine Zunahme der Fälle in der Notfallversorgung und vermehrte Krankenhauseinweisungen unter anderem aufgrund von hitzebedingten Herz-Kreislauf- und Atemwegserkrankungen sowie Diabetes, Nieren- und Infektionskrankheiten zur Folge. Daher ist es schon heute notwendig, dass sich Krankenhäuser an die Folgen des Klimawandels anpassen, um über verbindliche Konzepte Patientinnen und Patienten sowie Beschäftigte vor hitzebedingten Gesundheitsschäden zu schützen. Damit auch Gesundheitsinstitutionen Verantwortung für den eigenen ökologischen Fußabdruck übernehmen, ist es wichtig, zudem ein Bewusstsein für Energieeffizienz und Ressourcenschonung im Krankenhaus zu schaffen.

Published: August 2023

Castner Range National Monument encompasses 2.70 ×107 m2 of land in the northeast section of the Franklin Mountains adjacent to El Paso, Texas to the east and surrounded by Franklin Mountains State Park. The vegetation of this area has remained mostly undisturbed, outside of its role as a military weapons firing range from 1926 to 1966. A checklist of the plant species present in the area has not previously been published. In order to provide a comprehensive vascular plant list of the Castner Range National Monument, we compiled records of historical plant specimens of the UTEP Herbarium and other digitized records from SEINet and GBIF databases for georeferencing. Using QGIS, a map of vascular plant specimens found within the boundary of the Castner Range was constructed, which included 1,637 records. This data was supplemented with verified observational data from iNaturalist. From these records, we constructed a vascular plant checklist. A total of 82 families, 293 genera, and 470 species (and subspecies or varieties) of vascular plants were identified to occur in the boundaries of Castner Range National Monument. Two species, Escobaria sneedii and Sicyos glaber, have global vulnerable status (G3), and several collections in the Castner Range and Franklin Mountains represent the only records in Texas. This checklist can be applied to future studies and the high level of diversity helps justify preservation efforts regarding this area.

Por “dubius in fide, infidelis est”: la censura de la traducción castellana de Les Américaines, ou la Preuve de la religion par les lumières naturelles (1769)
Authors: Pérez-Ramos Sandra
Published: August 2023

Cayetana de la Cerda y Vera (1755-1798), condesa de Lalaing, recibe el 17 de marzo de 1791 la respuesta desfavorable que censura la publicación de su traducción titulada Las Americanas, o la Prueba de la Religion Christina por las luces naturales, cuya autoría original pertenece a la escritora francesa Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont (1711-1776). Los censores alegan, como principal motivo, la incitación “a la duda metódica de la verdad cristiana”. Tratándose de una obra escrita por una mujer, traducida por otra y cuyos personajes internos son femeninos, los censores consideran que su lectura en España pudiera ser perniciosa e inducir al error en la fe católica, puesto que, según estos, el colectivo femenino al que va dirigida carece de la preparación metafísica necesaria. Por tanto, nos encontramos frente a una censura discriminatoria, motivada principalmente por cuestiones de género. En este artículo analizamos minuciosamente los informes censores y la respuesta de la traductora usando el método analítico-sintético, con el fin de desglosar las críticas censoras desde un punto de vista de los estudios de género. Nuestro objetivo es visibilizar la censura motivada por cuestiones de género en el seno de la traducción, ya que tanto la traducción propiamente dicha como las mujeres traductoras han sido con frecuencia relegadas a un segundo plano.
“Unos franceses”: reescrituras de lo foráneo en la traducción franquista de Dix heures et demie du soir en été, de Marguerite Duras
Authors: Guerra Blázquez Miguel Ángel
Published: August 2023

La traducción de Dix heures et demie du soir en été de Marguerite Duras (1960), novela en la que un grupo de turistas franceses pasa una noche de tormenta en un pueblo español, tardó ocho años en ser publicada en España debido en gran parte a los obstáculos del aparato censor del Ministerio de Información y Turismo. Partiendo de este hecho, nos preguntamos en qué medida la ambigüedad narrativa que caracteriza a esta novela convirtió esta obra en un objeto de interpretación problemático en la España franquista. Adoptando un enfoque de estudio de caso, analizamos esta cuestión en tres niveles: la evolución del discurso censor, mediante el estudio de los informes de censura archivados sobre la obra; la posible manipulación en el proceso de traducción, por medio del análisis comparado de fragmentos relevantes de la traducción publicada en 1968; y la recepción de esta traducción, a través del análisis de reseñas contemporáneas y su relación con el contexto literario de finales de los años sesenta. Argumentamos que la ambigüedad narrativa del original fue reinterpretada a lo largo de la década en relación con el nuevo discurso franquista de promoción del turismo como legitimación. Este estudio de caso contribuye al área de la historia de la traducción, mostrando cómo la evolución de la textualidad nacional franquista reguló la traducción bajo este periodo.
Censura por homenaje: el caso de la subtitulación de la canción “The Last Supper” de la película Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) en la plataforma de vídeo bajo demanda Filmin
Authors: Bru García Vicente , Álvarez de Morales Mercado Cristina
Published: August 2023

Este estudio describe un nuevo tipo de censura en traducción, la “censura por homenaje”. Se trata de una censura procedente de un plano interno, ya que la produce el propio traductor, pero condicionada por factores externos previos, debido a que rinde homenaje a una traducción influenciada por un sistema censor. Esta censura, además, se suele manifestar en el uso de la creación discursiva, es decir, de equivalentes ficticios, o la modulación para suavizar aquellos elementos polémicos que contradicen la versión del sistema censor. A partir de una revisión de las estrategias de traducción a las que se recurre en la subtitulación de la canción “The Last Supper” de la película Jesus Christ Superstar, ofrecida en la plataforma Filmin, y las empleadas en la que parece ser la versión utilizada como referente para esta nueva traducción, la obra de teatro musical Jesucristo Superstar, de 1975, se sostiene la hipótesis de que esta nueva traducción tuvo como modelo la versión de 1975, censurada por el régimen franquista, debido a la gran influencia de la versión de 1975 sobre el público español. Para realizar este análisis, se ha utilizado la metodología aplicada en un estudio anterior, basada en el análisis contrastivo de estrategias a partir de las descritas por Molina (2001). Se discuten, además, aquellos pasajes en los que la traducción se aleja más del significado original, con el fin de observar la influencia de la censura en esta nueva versión.

Caffeine, trigonelline, nicotinamide, and hippuric acid are potential organic markers of anthropogenic activities in the environment. In this work, a selective, precise, accurate, and robust reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detection method was developed for their simultaneous determination. Chromatographic analysis was achieved on GraceSmart RP C18 (150 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column. The mobile phase was 20 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.5) and methanol in gradient elution mode at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min-1, with 5 mM heptafluorobutyric acid as an ion pairing agent. Detection was performed at 275 nm for caffeine, 265 nm for trigonelline, 261 nm for nicotinamide, and 250 nm for hippuric acid. The method was validated as per the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. Linear responses were found in the concentration range of 10-200 μg mL-1 with a correlation coefficient of at least 0.999. The percent relative standard deviation of intra-day precision, inter-day precision, and robustness was less than 2 %. The accuracy, expressed as percentage recovery ranged between 93.23 – 99.22%. Values for limits of detection and quantification were between 0.07-0.34 μg mL-1, and 0.21-1.04 μg mL-1, respectively. Lake samples from public parks were collected and subjected to analysis using the validated method

Published: August 2023

A kinetic-photometric method for accurate and sensitive determination of benzalconium chloride has been described. The method is based on inhibition of enzymatic hydrolysis of acetylcholine by enzyme acethylcholinestherase reaction. The amount of benzalconium chloride was determined by the degree of inhibition of the enzymatic reaction, which was evaluated by the residual unreacted substrate - acetylcholine. Determination of the residual amount of acetylcholine in the reaction mixture was performed by a kineticphotometric method using an indicator oxidation reaction of p-phenetidine with peracetic acid, which is formed during the auxiliration reaction of perhydrolysis with addition of excess hydrogen peroxide in the reaction mixture over a period of time. The inhibition degree –concentration plot is linear over the range of 1.4 ∙10-6 – 7.0∙10-6 mol/ L with correlation coefficient of 0.998. The LOQ was 1.9∙10-6 mol/L. The different experimental parameters pH, buffer solution was carefully studied and optimized. The proposed method has been successfully applied to pharmaceutical formulations. Statistical comparison of the results with a good established reported method showed excellent agreement and proved that there is no significant difference in the accuracy and precision. For “Virotec-intim” preparation RSD was 3.2 % (δ*=- 0.3 %).
Observation of Neutrinos from the Milky Way Galaxy
Authors:   , Sclafani Stephen , Kurahashi Neilson Naoko
Published: August 2023

Visible in the sky as a swath of stars, dust, and gas, the Milky Way Galaxy has been studied from Earth for millennia. More recently, the Galactic plane of the Milky Way has been observed in every wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to infrared, optical, x-rays, and gamma rays. This thesis presents the first observation of the Galactic plane in high-energy neutrinos, marking the first observation in a particle other than light. Within our Galaxy, high-energy neutrinos can be produced when cosmic rays interact at their acceleration sites and during propagation through the interstellar medium. Using a new sample of neutrinos with energies ranging from 500 GeV to multi-PeV, a test of a diffuse neutrino emission model from the Galactic plane finds a 4.5[sigma] rejection of the background-only hypothesis. This observation was enabled by machine-learning techniques that improved the selection efficiency and angular resolution of cascade-like neutrino events in IceCube.

Introducción: Una de las complicaciones más temidas de la endocarditis infecciosa (EI) asociada a marcapasos es la embolia pulmonar. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con diagnóstico actual de EI asociada a marcapasos, que luego de la extracción del dispositivo por vía percutánea presentó síntomas de embolia pulmonar confirmada mediante estudios por imágenes. Objetivos: Conocer el manejo y la evolución intrahospitalarios y a los 18 meses de la embolia pulmonar en el contexto de una endocarditis infecciosa asociada a marcapasos. Materiales y métodos: Búsqueda bibliográfica efectuada en PubMed. Relato del caso clínico: evaluación clínica, presentación de los estudios complementarios y tratamiento. Seguimiento del caso. Resultados: Paciente de 68 años, sexo femenino, con antecedente de implantación de marcapaso definitivo bicameral hace 2 años. Síndrome febril prolongado sin foco aparente, con hemocultivos que fueron positivos para Staphylococcus aureus meticilino-resistente. En el ecocardiograma transesofágico presentaba múltiples vegetaciones en aurícula derecha asociadas con los catéteres. Con base en la anamnesis, el examen físico y los hallazgos en exámenes específicos, se pudo lograr el diagnóstico de EI asociada a marcapasos. Se indicó tratamiento antibiótico y la remoción completa percutánea del dispositivo. Luego del procedimiento presentó disnea súbita confirmándose mediante estudio de centellograma ventilación-perfusión el diagnóstico de embolia pulmonar. Completó el tratamiento antibiótico (vancomicina durante 6 semanas) y fue dada de alta. Durante el seguimiento no presentó nuevas infecciones u otras complicaciones. Conclusión: En nuestro caso, la embolia pulmonar no generó modificaciones en la morbimortalidad intrahospitalaria ni en el seguimiento a 18 meses.

En el embarazo el requerimiento energético y de nutrientes aumentan, el déficit o el exceso puede afectar el estado nutricional de la madre y del neonato. Con el objetivo de determinar la frecuencia de malnutrición y su relación con complicaciones en mujeres embarazadas y sus recién nacidos que acuden al Hospital Distrital de Capiatá del Ministerio de Salud Pública y Bienestar Social, en el mes de febrero a agosto de 2022, se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transverso retrospectivo que incluyó a 140 gestantes, de las cuales 64 presentaron complicaciones por malnutrición y 76 no presentaron ninguna complicación. La edad media fue de 26,9±6,6 años con un rango de edad de 15 a 40 años. Los resultados muestran que el 45.7% (n=64) de las gestantes presentaron complicaciones por malnutrición, el 51,6% presentó diabetes gestacional, anemia en el 29,7%, el 7,8% presentó anemia y diabetes gestacional, el otro 7,8% hipertensión arterial, el 1,6% manifestó hipertensión arterial y diabetes gestacional y el otro 1,6% presentó anemia, hipertensión arterial y diabetes gestacional. En relación a la evaluación nutricional al inicio y al final de la gestación en las gestantes con complicaciones hubo una leve disminución en los porcentajes de obesidad de 43,7% a 37,5% y un aumento del bajo peso de 11% a 20,3%. En cuanto al tipo de parto en las gestantes con complicaciones el 51,6% fue por cesárea (n=33), las cuales presentaron diabetes gestacional en el 54,5%, seguido de anemia en el 21,2%. Se comprobó un mayor porcentaje de sobrepeso y obesidad (29,7%) en los recién nacidos de madres con complicaciones. Se pudo evidenciar la frecuencia de malnutrición y complicaciones en casi la mitad de las gestantes, es preciso generar mayores estrategias en salud pública para prevenir la malnutrición y complicaciones en gestantes.

Introducción: En las enfermedades neuromusculares la disminución de la capacidad vital se relaciona con dismunición de la capacidad tusígena y luego ventilatoria, la combinación de ambas genera complicaciones graves por falla ventilatoria. En los pacientes que son intubados, limita la extubación, sino se realizan cuidados respiratorios especializados. El conocimiento y aplicación de los profesionales que atienden a estos pacientes en cuidados intensivos resulta esencial. Objetivos: Reportar el conocimiento y aplicación especializada de cuidados respiratorios en enfermedades neuromusculares en las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos. Materiales y métodos: Estudio cualitativo, descriptivo de corte transversal, no probabilístico, a criterio. La población accesible fueron profesionales de la Salud de las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos, y el análisis de las respuestas de una encuesta estructurada, enviada a distintos profesionales a nivel mundial. Resultados: Se incluyeron los cuestionarios de 41 profesionales, el 34% de los profesionales reportaron la utilización regular de Asistente Mecánico de la Tos; 22% refirieron la utilización regular de apilamiento de aire; 31% reportaron la utilización regular de Asistencia Ventilatoria No Invasiva, 56.1% de los profesionales afirmaron conocer la diferencia entre Ventilación No Invasiva y Soporte Ventilatorio No Invasivo, 34% de los profesionales refirieron tener formación especializada en el área. Conclusión: Pese a existir una alta proporción de profesionales con conocimiento especializado, un grupo importante no los aplica rutinariamente. La justificación es principalmente por la dificultad de adquisición y financiación de los equipos necesarios.

La Resolución N° 16.264/13 del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia (MEC) reglamenta el procedimiento y monitoreo de las cantinas escolares del Paraguay. Su cumplimiento podría prevenir consecuencias negativas en salud pública. Evaluar el cumplimiento de la Resolución N° 16.264/13, venta de alimentos saludables y funcionamiento de cantinas de escuelas públicas de Tobatí. Estudio transversal en las cantinas de 11 escuelas. El instrumento fue una encuesta elaborada en base al Anexo 2 de la mencionada Resolución. Este estudio fue aprobado por el Comité de Ética en Investigación de la FCQ-UNA (Dictamen 242/16). Los manipuladores de 8/11 cantinas, afirmaron conocer la Resolución N° 16.264/13 y la mayoría no recibió capacitación correspondiente. En 8/11 establecimientos se constataron que los pisos, paredes y techos no estaban en buen estado; 6/11 mantenían limpias las superficies de contacto con alimentos; 7/8 contaba con ventilación adecuada. En todas las cantinas un solo personal manipula alimentos y dinero en simultáneo, la mayoría de ellos no contaba con la indumentaria adecuada (cofia y delantal). En los establecimientos estudiados, se observó con mayor frecuencia que se comercializaban embutidos y snacks dulces y salados, aunque también frutas y lácteos. No existían minutas con vegetales disponibles ni las preparaciones fritas se reemplazaban por las horneadas. El cumplimiento de la Resolución N° 16.264/13 en la mayoría de estas cantinas escolares fue bajo y en ellas predominó la venta de alimentos con alto contenido energético y escaso valor nutritivo.

Background: In this study, a retrospective evaluation was made of patients aged 70 years and over who were applied with proximal-femoral nail (PFN) or calcareous replacement cemented hemiarthroplasty in respect of early and late-stage morbidity and mortality and functional personal independence.
Methods: The study included a total of 77 patients aged over 70 years with an AO type 31-A1 or 31-A2 fracture. The patients were separated into two groups as those applied with proximal femoral nailing and those applied with calcar replacement hemiarthroplasty. Statistical comparison was made of the groups in respect of preoperative age, comorbidities, type of anaesthesia, ASA score, and fracture type, and postoperative amount of blood loss, albumin decrease, wound complications, other complications, Harris hip functional scores, Barthel daily living activity index, mortality rates.
Results: The two groups were found to be similar in respect of age, gender, comorbidities, AO fracture type and type of anaesthesia. The operating time was shorter in the proximal femoral nailing group. The Harris hip scores and the Barthel daily living activity ındex values were similar in both groups. Rates of wound infection were higher in the hemiarthroplasty group. Mortality rates at one month, six months and one year were similar in both groups.
Conclusions: Proximal femoral nailing can be one of the primary treatment options for intertrochanteric hip fractures in the elderly. Furthermore, although functional results and mortality rates are similar, as cemented calcar replacement hemiarthroplasty has serious life-threatening complications, it should not be the first choice of treatment method.
