Performance Evaluation of a Titania-coated Reticulated Foam Photocatalytic Oxidation Reactor
Authors: Changrani Rajnish , Raupp Gregory B.
Published: January 2017

We have constructed and evaluated the performance of a gas-solid annular photocatalytic oxidation reactor that incorporates an alumina reticulated foam monolith element as a titania catalyst support. The reticulate occupies the annular region formed by the lamp and the outer reactor tube. Three alumina reticulates possessing different mean pore sizes and pore densities, designated as 10, 20 and 30 pores-per-inch (PPI) were employed. The reticulates were wash-coated with Degussa P25 titania. Light transmittance measurements through the reticulates showed that 30 PPI reticulate, the least optically dense element, captures the most light. Photocatalytic oxidation of dilute isopropanol (IPA) in air was chosen as the probe reaction to assess the performance of each reticulate- catalyst coating configuration. Process parameters varied were inlet IPA concentration, incident UV intensity, and mean gas residence time. For similar catalyst loadings, the 30 PPI reticulate outperformed both the 20 and 10 PPI reticulates, while the 20 PPI reticulate modestly outperformed the 10 PPI reticulate. With increasing titania coating yielding thicker titania films, general performance increases until a critical thickness is achieved. Light intensity measurements and simple forward UV intensity profile calculations reveal that reticulate performance is largely governed by the UV intensity profile. For a given reticulate, results suggest that the optimum thickness of the TiO

Published: February 2017

The paper examines the politics of security deployment by the Federal Government of Nigeria to Jos, metropolis. A cross-sectional study was conducted and Public Opinion Theory adopted. Methodologically, mixed methods of data collection were conducted that involved the administration of 377 questionnaires to adult respondents, six In-Depth Interviews with religious and community leaders while three Key Informant Interviews with security personnel working with Special Task Force. The survey reveals that, the deployment of Mobile Police from 2001-2010 and the formation of Special Task Force in 2010 has generated mixed reactions and divergent perceptions among the residents of Jos metropolis. Majority of the ethnic groups that are predominantly Christians were more contented with the deployment of the Mobile Police whereas ethnic groups that are dominantly Muslims questioned the neutrality, capability, performance and strength of the Nigerian Police Force in managing the crises. The study recommends that, security personnel should display high degree of neutrality in order to earn the confidence of the residents and change their perceptions.
Membrane permeabilizing action of amphidinol 3 and theonellamide A in raft-forming lipid mixtures
Authors: Espiritu Rafael A.
Published: January 2017

Amphidinol 3 (AM3) and theonellamide A (TNM-A) are potent antifungal compounds produced by the dinoflagellate Amphidinium klebsii and the sponge Theonella spp., respectively. Both of these metabolites have been demonstrated to interact with membrane lipids ultimately resulting in a compromised bilayer integrity. In this report, the activity of AM3 and TNM-A in ternary lipid mixtures composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (POPC):brain sphingomyelin:cholesterol at a mole ratio of 1:1:1 or 3:1:1 exhibiting lipid rafts coexistence is presented. It was found that AM3 has a more extensive membrane permeabilizing activity compared with TNM-A in these membrane mimics, which was almost complete at 15 μM. The extent of their activity nevertheless is similar to the previously reported binary system of POPC and cholesterol, suggesting that phase separation has neither beneficial nor detrimental effects in their ability to disrupt the lipid bilayer.
Not so passive: engagement and learning in Volunteer Computing projects
Authors: Kloetzer Laure , Da Costa Julien , Schneider Daniel K.
Published: January 2017

This paper focuses on an unexplored dimension of Citizen Science: the educational potential of Volunteer Computing (VC). VC has been one of the most popular forms of Citizen Science, since its beginnings from 1997, when the first VC platforms, such as SETI@home, were created. Participation in VC is based on volunteers donating their idle computer resources to contribute to large scale scientific research. So far this has often been seen as a rather passive form of participation, compared to other online Citizen Science (or citizen cyberscience) projects, since volunteers are not involved in active data collection, data analysis or project definition. In this paper we present our research conducted in 2013-2014 with the BOINC Community “Alliance Francophone”, and demonstrate that part of the volunteers in Distributed Computing research projects are not passive at all. We show that the dynamism of BOINC hugely relies on community-led gamification and that participation may lead to important learning outcomes on most dimensions of our ILICS (Informal Learning in Citizen Science) model. This includes extending one’s scientific interests, ability to find and engage with people who share similar interests, and offering a range of potential learning outcomes, particularly within the fields of (a) computer and Internet literacy, (b) scientific knowledge and literacy, (c) communication: English and social skills. As demonstrated by our recent ILICS survey research (2015), these latest learning effects happen for all kinds of participants and are even stronger for people who have a lower education background, which is an interesting finding for lifelong education policies. Altogether, VC projects engage volunteers emotionally, far beyond a simple use of their computers’ time and power, and may have an educational value. For a minority of very active volunteers, they become real “Opportunity Spaces”, where they can get new friends, skills and experiences, which they could not have found easily elsewhere in their everyday environment.
Health Care Transition: Youth, Family, and Provider Perspectives
Authors: Reiss John G. , Gibson Robert W. , Walker Leslie R.
Published: January 2017

Objective. This study examined the process of health care transition (HCT) posing the following questions: What are the transition experiences of youths and young adults with disabilities and special health care needs, family members, and health care providers? What are promising practices that facilitate successful HCT? What are obstacles that inhibit HCT?

Methods. A qualitative approach was used to investigate these questions. Focus group interviews were conducted. Content and narrative analyses of interview transcripts were completed using ATLAS.ti.

Results. Thirty-four focus groups and interviews were conducted with 143 young adults with disabilities and special health care needs, family members, and health care providers. Content analysis yielded 3 content domains: transition services, which presents a chronological understanding of the transition process; health care systems, which presents differences between pediatric and adult-oriented medicine and how these differences inhibit transition; and transition narratives, which discusses transition experience in the broader context of relationships between patients and health care providers.

Conclusion. This study demonstrated the presence of important reciprocal relationships that are based on mutual trust between providers and families and are developed as part of the care of chronically ill children. Evidence supports the need for appropriate termination of pediatric relationships as part of the transition process. Evidence further supports the idea that pediatric and adult-oriented medicines represent 2 different medical subcultures. Young adults’ and family members’ lack of preparation for successful participation in the adult health care system contributes to problems with HCT.
Fluoride Varnish Use in Primary Care: What Do Providers Think?
Authors: Lewis Charlotte , Lynch Heather , Richardson Laura
Published: January 2017

Objective. A number of state Medicaid programs, including Washington, reimburse pediatricians and other pediatric health care providers to apply fluoride varnish, a caries preventive agent, to eligible patients’ teeth. Little is known about the factors that encourage or impede diffusion of fluoride varnish into primary care physicians’ (PCPs’) offices. The objective of this study was to perform an in-depth case study of fluoride varnish diffusion in 12 pediatric, family medicine, and nurse practitioner offices that underwent fluoride varnish training.

Methods. We conducted focus groups with providers and staff in 12 community-based medical practices that had undergone fluoride varnish training within the previous 18 months. Topics of discussion included how the office staff learned about and sought fluoride varnish training, the perceived role of PCPs in oral health, oral health problems within the practice, specific details about the training, and organizational and logistic factors that promoted or impeded adoption. Focus groups were audiotaped and professionally transcribed; content analyses of the transcripts were conducted by the 3 authors.

Results. Three major themes emerged about the fluoride varnish diffusion process; these were preexisting factors, communication, and logistics. Within preexisting factors, PCPs learned about fluoride varnish through their involvement in public health-related activities and were influenced to participate in the training by their concerns for their patients’ oral health and difficulty gaining access to professional dental care. Among communication factors identified as important were qualities of the training session and the communication that occurred within the practice about fluoride varnish. When staff were included in the fluoride varnish decision-making and planning process, the practice was more likely to be successful in implementing fluoride varnish. Logistic factors included systems used to identify and capture eligible patients for fluoride varnish application. Other important logistic factors that were considered included division of labor and timing of the fluoride varnish application during the visit. Access to dental care was a persistent theme throughout the focus group discussions that had an impact on the other 3 major themes.

Conclusions. Fluoride varnish can be adopted successfully into medical practice given PCP and staff commitment and openness, training that leaves participants motivated, appropriate systems, and resources for professional dental care referral. In addition, PCP involvement with fluoride varnish provided opportunities to discuss preventive oral health with families. Specific recommendations to encourage fluoride varnish diffusion in other settings are offered for program planners and PCP offices.
Spatial Accessibility of Primary Care Pediatric Services in an Urban Environment: Association With Asthma Management and Outcome

Published: January 2017

BACKGROUND. Disadvantaged urban children with asthma depend heavily on emergency departments (EDs) for episodic care. We hypothesized that among an urban population of children with asthma, higher spatial accessibility to primary care pediatric services would be associated with (1) more scheduled primary care visits for asthma, (2) better longitudinal asthma management, and (3) fewer unscheduled visits for asthma care.

METHODS. We enrolled children aged 12 months to 17 years, inclusive, who sought acute asthma care in an urban pediatric ED. Eligibility criteria included a history of unscheduled visits for asthma in the previous year. We collected comprehensive data on each participant's asthma medical management and prior health care utilization. In addition, we calculated each participant's spatial accessibility to primary care pediatric services, reported as a provider-to-population ratio at their place of residence. Patients then were stratified by their spatial accessibility to care and compared with respect to measures of medical management and health care utilization.

RESULTS. Among the 411 eligible participants, the spatial accessibility of primary care ranged from 7.4 to 350.2 full-time pediatric providers per 100000 children <18 years of age, with a mean of 57.7 ± 40.0. Patients in the middle and highest tertiles of spatial accessibility made significantly more scheduled visits for asthma care than patients in the lowest tertile. There were no differences among tertiles of accessibility with respect to asthma management or with respect to unscheduled visits for asthma care.

CONCLUSIONS. Within this highly urban, largely disadvantaged and minority population of children with chronic asthma, patients with higher spatial accessibility to primary care services made significantly more scheduled visits for asthma care.
A Vision of the Future of Newborn Screening
Authors: Alexander Duane , van Dyck Peter C.
Published: January 2017

In 40 years, newborn screening has evolved to become a standard component of preventive public health. Despite its widespread acceptance, efforts need to be made to overcome some significant problems. There is inequity in the conditions for which states screen routinely, and many conditions that could be screened for are not, for economic or logistic reasons. Existing (tandem mass spectrometry) and potential (DNA microarray) technologies could be developed and put in place to correct these existing shortcomings. To do so will require investment in the technologies, combined with public and professional education and provision of a high-quality, accessible system for confirmation of diagnoses, family counseling, initiation of treatment, and the opportunity to participate in research to develop new or improved therapies.

Reikšminiai žodžiai: kirkšninė išvarža, laparoskopinė hernioplastika, transabdominalinė preperitoninė plastika (TAPP), totalinė ekstraperitoninė plastika (TEP), pooperaciniai rezultatai. Pasaulyje šiuo metu vyrauja du standartizuoti laparaskopiniai kirkšninės išvaržos operacijų metodai: transabdominalinė preperitoninė plastika (TAPP) ir totalinė ekstraperitoninė hernioplastika (TEP). Esminis šių operacijų techninis skirtumas yra tinkliuko pozicionavimo kelias. TAPP operacijos metu tai atliekama patenkant į pilvo ertmę, o TEP metodu sukuriant dirbtinę preperitoninę erdvę. Iki šiol vyksta ginčai, kuris operacinis metodas pranašesnis. Mūsų tyrime lyginami gydymo rezultatai naudojant transabdominalinę (TAPP) ir ekstraperitoninę (TEP) operavimo techniką. Atlikome retrospektyvinį tyrimą ir palyginome šių dviejų laparoskopinių kirkšnies srities operacijų technikas pacientams, kurie buvo gydyti 2011–2014 m. Vilniaus miesto klinikinėje ir Respublikinėje Vilniaus universitetinėje ligoninėse. Buvo analizuoti pacientų klinikiniai duomenys, su ligoniais susisiekiant telefonu. Gauta informacija apie komplikacijas, recidyvus, pooperacinį skausmą ir gyvenimo kokybę. Gyvenimo kokybė vertinta pagal standartizuotą SF-12v2 klausimyną. Surinkti duomenys apie 527 pacientus, TAPP metodu operuoti 327 pacientai, o TEP metodu – 200. Lyginant operacijos trukmę grupėse, nustatytas statistiškai reikšmingas skirtumas, TAPP operacija truko vidutiniškai šešiomis minutėmis ilgiau. Nors TAPP grupėje buvo pastebėtas didesnis recidyvų dažnis nei TEP grupėje, tačiau šis skirtumas grupėse buvo statistiškai nepatikimas. Pooperacinio skausmo skirtumas buvo statistiškai nereikšmingas. Vertinant pooperacinę fizinę ir psichinę gyvenimo kokybę, TAPP ir TEP grupėse skirtumas nebuvo pastebėtas. Pasaulinės literatūros ir mūsų surinkti duomenys rodo, kad nors TAPP operacijos trunka ilgiau, abi operacinės technikos yra lygiavertės ir vienodai priimtinos gydant kirkšnines išvaržas.

TAFRO syndrome: New subtype of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease
Authors: Srkalovic Gordan , Marijanovic Inga , Srkalovic Maya B , Fajgenbaum David C
Published: January 2017

Castleman disease (CD) describes a group of three rare and poorly understood lymphoproliferative disorders that have heterogeneous clinical symptoms and common lymph node histopathological features. Unicentric CD (UCD) involves a single region of enlarged nodes. Multicentric CD (MCD) involves multiple regions of enlarged lymph nodes, constitutional symptoms, and organ dysfunction due to a cytokine storm often including interleukin 6. MCD is further divided into Human Herpes Virus-8 (HHV-8)-associated MCD, which occurs in immunocompromised individuals, and HHV-8-negative/idiopathic MCD (iMCD). Recently, iMCD has been further sub-divided into patients with TAFRO syndrome, which involves thrombocytopenia (T), anasarca (A), fevers (F), reticulin myelofibrosis (R), organomegaly (O), and normal or only slightly elevated immunoglobulin levels, and those who do not have TAFRO syndrome. Non-TAFRO iMCD patients typically have thrombocytosis, less severe fluid accumulation, and hypergammaglobulinemia. iMCD patients with TAFRO syndrome may have a worse prognosis, but more research is needed.

A Política Externa do Império no Prata e a Missão Bellegarde ao Paraguai (1848 - 1852)
Authors: Verano Pedro Henrique
Published: January 2017

A década de 1840 representa um momento de bastante importância para a política externa brasileira, uma vez que uma reorientação pragmática e mais atuante para seus negócios com os países da região do Rio da Prata foi posta em prática. A reorganização de forças que ocorria em praticamente todos os países desse espaço geográfico possibilitou uma série de iniciativas, assim como também demandou esforços reativos do Império para salvaguardar seus interesses. A aproximação que vinha sendo ensejada com o Paraguai, desde o início dessa década, teve grande importância nesse contexto, uma vez que compôs peça importante no tabuleiro estratégico da região, no qual a rivalidade entre o Império e Buenos Aires esteve no epicentro político. A Missão Bellegarde ao Paraguai contém elementos representativos no jogo diplomático entre os países desta região e que por meio de sua análise documental é possível observar a formação de uma série de tendências de política externa, assim como as minúcias das disputas de interesses.

CRITICAL REMARKS ON EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY OF PAULO FREIRE
Authors: Nuryatno M. Agus
Published: February 2017

Abstrak: Telaah Kritis terhadap Filsafat Pendidikan Paulo Freire. Artikel ini membahas filsafat pendidikan Paulo Freire berbasiskan riset kepustakaan. Pembahasan dibagi ke dalam tiga bagian: (a) filsafat tentang manusia; (b) arkeologi kesadaran manusia; dan (c) politik pendidikan. Filsafat manusia Paulo Freire dapat dikategorikan sebagai humanisme Marxis-Kristen, karena berbasiskan pada gagasan-gagasan yang berkembang dalam diskursus Marxis dan Kristen. Arkeologi kesadaran manusia yang dikonseptualisasi Freire merupakan sebuah studi tentang bentuk fundamental kesadaran manusia, dan bentuk-bentuk ini dapat dilihat melalui cara manusia memahami dan menerima realitas eksistensial yang melingkupinya, yaitu apakah mereka melihatnya secara magis, naif, atau kritis. Filsafat pendidikan Freire juga didasarkan pada asumsi bahwa pendidikan itu politik. Dengan bahasa lain, semua aktivitas pendidikan itu memiliki implikasi, kualitas, dan konsekuensi politis, karena semuanya berpengaruh terhadap subjektivitas manusia.

Представляются результаты экспериментального исследования процессов инициирования модельными гидрометеорами разряда между искусственной грозовой ячейкой отрицательной или положительной полярности и землей. Впервые показано, что условия инициирования гидрометеорами искрового разряда между облаком и землей и его характеристики существенно зависят от полярности заряженного аэрозольного облака. Такое влияние групп гидрометеоров может проявляться при инициировании молнии "облако-земля" в грозовом облаке и быть использовано при разработке научных основ методов искусственного инициирования молнии.

Применение электростатической силовой микроскопии для оценки проводимости индивидуальных многостенных углеродных нанотрубок
Authors: Давлеткильдеев Н.А. , Соколов Д.В. , Болотов В.В. , Лобов И.А.
Published: February 2017

Методом электростатической силовой микроскопии (ЭСМ) исследована электрическая проводимость индивидуальных многостенных углеродных нанотрубок (УНТ), легированных азотом: синтезированных, термически обработанных в инертной атмосфере и облученных ионами аргона. На основе моделирования профиля поперечного сечения ЭСМ-изображения УНТ определялся параметр --- разность потенциалов в зазоре "зонд-УНТ" Utip-CNT, величина которого задается проводимостью нанотрубки. Установлена сильная корреляционная зависимость между объемной удельной проводимостью слоя УНТ и усредненным параметром Utip-CNT для всех типов исследованных нанотрубок. Показано, что изменение проводимости легированных УНТ, подвергнутых термическому отжигу или облучению ионами аргона, является следствием изменения состава и концентрации дефектов в стенках УНТ.

Periferias espontáneas de Ciudad Bolívar-Bogotá: vista desde la perspectiva fractal. Abordaje metodológico
Authors: Guerrero Torrenegra Alejandro
Published: January 2017

Resumen: Las periferias internas espontáneas de América Latina se caracterizan por sus genes tipológicos informales-invasiones, que identifican a los tejidos informales que se producen como consecuencia de las construcciones y reconstrucciones auto-gestionadas. El objetivo principal de la investigación fue identificar la existencia de patrones o códigos fractales en las manzanas de la periferia interna espontánea de las UPZ, de la localidad de Ciudad Bolívar de Bogotá. La investigación es descriptiva y analítica, sigue pautas fenomenológicas, con matemática (no lineales) y geometría fractal. El resultado originó otra manera de aproximación al problema, en el que la morfología urbana guarda una relación con los tamaños y sus dimensiones: longitud, superficie y volumen, variables que conforman el plan, el diseño o la renovación urbana.

___Abstract: The spontaneous internal peripheries of Latin America are characterized by their informal type-invasion genes, which identify informal fabrics that occur because of self-managed constructions and reconstructions. The main objective of the research was to identify the existence of patterns or fractal codes in the blocks of the spontaneous internal periphery of UPZ, in the town of Ciudad Bolívar, Bogotá. The research is descriptive and analytical, follows phenomenological guidelines, with mathematics (non-linear) and fractal geometry. The result originated another way of approaching the problem, in which the urban morphology is related to the sizes and their dimensions: length, surface and volume, variables that make up the plan, the design or the urban renewal.___Keywords: Urban peripheries, fractals, fractal patterns.

Contaminación visual en centros históricos: un problema estético y de valor social de las ciudades actuales
Authors: Sierra Franco Angélica , Guevara Guevara Oscar
Published: January 2017

Resumen: La contaminación visual en los centros urbanos debe ser considerada en nuestros tiempos como un factor determinante en el deterioro de la calidad de vida y la ruptura del paisaje urbano, en tanto provoca una desvalorización de la propiedad pública y privada, como resultado de la dinámica desordenada de la competitividad en las dimensiones institucionales, cívicas, políticas y comerciales. Por tanto, debe ser regulada, prevenida y controlada. Este planteamiento surge de la necesidad de promover la conservación, protección y sostenibilidad del paisaje urbano, conformado por los elementos que constituyen el espacio público del centro de Sincelejo, y su valoración histórico-patrimonial, como factor fundamental para preservar y mantener el equilibrio visual de los mismos. El trabajo tiene como finalidad garantizar el derecho constitucional de gozar de un ambiente sano y ecológicamente equilibrado. Y que, a su vez, se convierta en un eje articulador de las propuestas turísticas que tiene la región, en cuanto a la promoción de los bienes inmuebles culturales e históricos que se emplazan en esta zona.

___Abstract: The visual pollution in urban centers must be considered in our times as a determining factor in the deterioration of the quality of life and the rupture of the urban landscape, while causing a devaluation of public and private property, because of the disordered dynamics of competitiveness in the institutional, civic, political and commercial dimensions. Therefore, it must be regulated, prevented and controlled. This approach arises from the need to promote the conservation, protection and sustainability of the urban landscape, made up of the elements that constitute the public space of the center of Sincelejo, and its historical and patrimonial valuation, as a fundamental factor to preserve and maintain the visual balance of the same. The purpose of the work is to guarantee the constitutional right to enjoy a healthy and ecologically balanced environment. Moreover, that, in turn, become an articulating axis ofthe tourist proposals that the region has, in terms of the promotion of cultural and historicalreal estate that are located in this area.

Applying the materiality concept: The case of abnormal items
Authors: Cameron Robyn
Published: February 2017

Materiality is a key concept in accounting theory and practice. Yet differing views exist in regard to the practical application of the materiality concept amongst preparers, auditors, users of financial reports and regulators (ESMA/2011/373). Unlike International Accounting Standards, in Australia AASB 1031 Materiality addresses materiality thresholds. The pre-2000 period, when Australian firms were required to separately disclose abnormal items in their financial reports, provides a unique opportunity to explore how the concept of materiality was applied. Abnormal items were considered abnormal by reason of their size and effect on operating earnings. We investigate whether immaterial or marginally material items were classified as abnormal, and whether materiality thresholds were consistently applied to different types of abnormal items and over time. Findings show almost a quarter (22.94%) of abnormal items were immaterial for which the overall mean was only 2.54% of the baseline earnings before abnormal items. Results are consistent when abnormal items are classified into the four predominant types by which described in financial reports and when further dissected into the forty categories by which they were themed. The outcomes of this analysis inform the current regulatory debate concerning the inclusion of immaterial items in financial reports which may mislead users (FRRP 2013) and the IASB materiality project (2013).

Introduction/Objective. Despite sufficiently explained pathogenesis, today autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) are recognized as one of extra-hepatic manifestations of systemic hepatitis C virus infection. The aim of the present study was to determine clinical characteristics and to estimate the success of pegylated interferon-?2a plus ribavirin (pegIFN-?2a + RBV) therapy in patients with AITD as an extrahepatic manifestation of chronic hepatitis C infection (CHC). Methods. This prospective study included 91 CHC patients treated with pegIFN-?2a + RBV from 2010 to 2012 (39 women and 52 men, mean age 41.6 ?} 11.9). The study group (group A) consisted of 31 patients with CHC and AITD. Control group (group B) consisted of 60 patients with CHC without AITD. We analyzed clinical, biochemical, virological, and histopathological markers of CHC, as well as response and side effects of pegIFN-?2a + RBV therapy. Results. There was a statistically significant difference in sex (p = 0.011), age (p = 0.001), AST level (p = 0.013), level of gamma globulins (p < 0.001), level of IgM (p = 0.007), IgG (p < 0.001), in the success of therapy of CHC with pegIFN-?2a + RBV between the groups. Odds ratio (OR) for unfavorable outcome in group A was 4.200 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.545?11.417]. In final multivariate logistic regression analysis in group A, the only factor predicting sustained virological response was patients? age (OR = 0.781; 95% CI: 0.603?0.959). The main side effects in group A were interferon induced thyroiditis (IIT) (41.9% vs. 3.3%; p < 0.001) and anemia, which was the only reason for dose reduction of ribavirin (29% vs. 6.7%; p = 0.027). Conclusion. Patients with AITD as an extra-hepatic manifestation of CHC achieve poorer virological response and their antiviral therapy is inevitably followed by a manifestation of adverse effects, predominantly solvable IITs and anemia.

La administración de las citas de los pacientes en los consultorios dentales suele generar problemas cuando se hace de manera manual. Algo similar sucede con el registro de las visitas, que se almacena en una hoja de cálculo e incluso en hojas de papel, ocasionando demoras al momento de buscar el historial de algún paciente. La creación de una interfaz con ayuda de programación JavaScript, AJAX, y PHP, permite una administración más integral y, por lo tanto, el beneficio de brindar una atención más rápida, eficaz y competitiva.
