Stroop test software. The Tastiva proposal
Authors: Scurtu María Claudia , Manzano-Arrondo Vicente , Rodríguez Testal Juan Francisco
Published: September 2021

There has been a great deal of research on emotional information processing within the field of clinical psychology. Many tests have been developed and the emotional Stroop test is one of the most used. However, some versions of the Stroop test have methodological issues when used to study word-colour interferences, especially when the words are emotionally charged. We present a computer-assisted version of the emotional Stroop test called Tastiva, which is highly versatile, useful, and accessible, in addition to being easy to use and widely applicable. The Tastiva software and User Manual is available on the University of Seville website: http://grupo.us.es/recursos/Tastiva/index.htm. We also present a case study using neutral and sexual content words, in which the program calculates the word exposure time by analysing the behaviour of the respondent. One of its novel contributions is the graphic presentation of meas-ures: response time, errors, and non-response to stimuli.
Efecto mediacional del afecto entre las autoevaluaciones centrales y la satisfacción vital en discapacidad intelectual
Authors: Rey Peña Lourdes , Extremera Pacheco Natalio
Published: September 2021

Este estudio examina el efecto mediacional del afecto en la relación entre las autoevaluaciones centrales (CSE) y la satisfacción vital en personas con discapacidad intelectual. Ciento treinta y cuatro personas con discapacidad intelectual (79 hombres y 55 mujeres) del sur de España completaron la escala de autoevaluaciones centrales (CSES), la escala de afecto positivo y afecto negativo (PANAS), y la escala de satisfacción con la vida (SWLS). La investigación reveló que altos niveles de CSE se asociaban a una mayor satisfacción con la vida. Además, el afecto positivo medió parcialmente la relación entre CSE y satisfacción vital. El modelo final indicó una vía significativa mediante la cual las CSE afectan a la satisfacción vital a través del afecto positivo. Se consideran las limitaciones del estudio y se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para la mejora de la satisfacción vital en personas con discapacidad intelectual.
Cómo afrontar la pérdida con Proust: un apunte de biblioterapia
Authors: Fierro Bardají Alfredo
Published: September 2021

La psicología trata de conocer al ser humano a partir y a través de la conducta. Hay otras fuentes, sin embargo, de ese conocimiento, que en su más alto nivel suele denominarse “sabiduría”. En la actualidad la sabiduría nos consta sobre todo, aunque no sólo, en textos escritos: de filosofía, de ensayo, también de literatura. El artículo extrae de la obra de Proust elementos de conocimiento práctico para afrontar una pérdida, la de la persona amada, sea por desaparición o por desamor de ella.

The article presents a case of a combination of stomach cancer and jejunal diverticulosis in a 71-year-old female patient. Stomach cancer was diagnosed preoperatively both clinically and by instrumental (endoscopic and radiological) and pathomorphological methods. During the surgery, jejunal diverticulosis was accidentally revealed. Considering the stomach cancer resectability and the presence of diffuse intestinal diverticulosis, resection of the proximal jejunum, distal subtotal gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastroenteroanastomosis, and D2 lymphadenectomy were performed. The immediate postoperative period was complicated by perforation of the anterior wall of the resected stomach, and defect was urgently sutured. Control X-ray examination showed that both the stomach and gastroenteroanastomosis were normal, the passage of contrast through the jejunum was satisfactory. The patient was discharged home on the 12th day in satisfactory condition.

Retratos de Spinoza
Authors: Margot Jean-Paul
Published: September 2021

Hay muchos retratos de Spinoza, pero ninguno de ellos está bien documentado, al menos suficientemente documentado como para satisfacer las exigencias del método iconográfico. Por falta de argumentos objetivos que permitan identificar a Spinoza entre tantos cuadros y grabados, tal vez podamos considerar que el “verdadero” retrato de Spinoza es el frontispicio de las Opera posthuma de 1677.
La noción de cuerpo en Judith Butler y Rosi Braidotti
Authors: Díaz Peña Iván Eduardo
Published: September 2021

Este trabajo busca presentar el debate alrededor de la materialidad del cuerpo en dos grandes teorías feministas, a saber, las teorías feministas de la diferencia sexual y la teoría feminista alrededor del género. En ese sentido, mi interés es mostrar cómo, desde una distinta aproximación al concepto de cuerpo, se articulan unas diferencias para reivindicar las luchas feministas. Quisiera en particular acercarme a las pensadoras Judith Butler y Rosi Braidotti, que tienen una articulación distinta del sujeto-cuerpo del feminismo y el lugar que este debe ocupar en las transformaciones sociales y políticas. Este trabajo no pretende inclinarse por mostrar las ventajas de una teoría sobre la otra sino más bien establecer sus diferencias.
Más allá del pueblo y de la clase obrera industrial. La teoría política de la multitud de Paolo Virno
Authors: Fagioli Andrea
Published: September 2021

Paolo Virno es uno de los filósofos que han dedicado más esfuerzos a la reflexión sobre la multitud, considerado un concepto adecuado para pensar la subjetividad política a la altura de los tiempos presentes. Virno es un pensador eminentemente político, sus reflexiones siempre echan raíces en inquietudes político-militantes; sin embargo, muchas veces la dimensión política de su pensamiento se encuentra en la reflexión sobre los temas eternos. Reconstruir una teoría política de la multitud en Virno implica por lo tanto componer un collage que vaya más allá de su mero cuerpo a cuerpo con la tradición filosófico-política, y en el cual emerjan los elementos que caracterizan la multitud, su politicidad intrínseca y, paralelamente, las bases para una política alternativa.

Authors: Bonfil Juan Ramón , Medina Juan Camilo , Ponce Alexis Eduardo , Navarrete Juan José , Delgado Pedro J
Published: September 2021

Introducción. El fibroma desmoplásico (FD) es un tumor óseo de características benignas, pero localmente agresivo, que se considera primario, raro, lítico y no metastásico; esta neoplasia representa el 0.1% de todos los tumores primarios de hueso. A continuación se presenta el caso de un paciente con FD en el cual el diagnóstico se estableció a través de los hallazgos radiológicos e histológicos y se describe la decisión de tratamiento.Presentación del caso. Paciente masculino de 64 años, quien acudió al Servicio de Ortopedia del Hospital General de México por pérdida de la fuerza progresiva del brazo y antebrazo izquierdo con disminución de los rangos de movilidad y dolor en la zona. El sujeto fue diagnosticado con FD, intervenido con radioterapia por el servicio de radiooncología y manejado con una ortesis por el servicio de ortopedia. Se planteó la posibilidad de realizar transposición de los nervios mediano, cubital y radial, pero el paciente no aceptó el procedimiento.
Tratamiento quirúrgico de luxaciones y luxofracturas peri-lunares del carpo en un centro especializado
Authors: Satizábal Alejandro , Dávalos Herrera Diego Alejandro , Lozano González Elkin Augusto
Published: September 2021

Introducción. Las luxaciones y las luxofracturas perilunares son lesiones de alta energía poco comunes y de difícil tratamiento debido al extenso compromiso de tejido blando, cartilaginoso y óseo. No obstante, existen varias opciones de tratamiento recomendadas, con un énfasis reciente en la reducción abierta y la fijación interna.

Objetivo. Evaluar una cohorte de pacientes que recibieron tratamiento quirúrgico específico para luxaciones y luxofracturas perilunares agudas del carpo en un centro especializado en trauma y cirugía de mano.

Materiales y métodos. Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal realizado en 20 pacientes con diagnóstico de luxación o luxofractura perilunar del carpo y tratados quirúrgicamente. Se evaluaron pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente entre febrero de 2008 y febrero de 2014 y se valoraron datos sociodemográficos, mecanismo del trauma, tiempo de seguimiento, escala visual análoga de dolor, escala DASH y arcos de movilidad articular. Los resultados clínicos se obtuvieron a través de entrevista personal y valoración clínica.

Resultados. La edad promedio de los pacientes fue de 32 años y la mano dominante fue la más afectada (80%). Las luxaciones perilunares puras fueron las más frecuentes (50%), seguidas de las luxofracturas transescafolunares (40%) y transestiloradiales (10%). Se evidenciaron 2 complicaciones.

Conclusiones. En el presente estudio todos los pacientes se llevaron a procedimiento quirúrgico de forma oportuna y tuvieron una buena recuperación, por lo que se establece que el tratamiento quirúrgico temprano (<72 horas) es un factor importante en la obtención de resultados clínicos y funcionales favorables. Este es el primer estudio que analiza los resultados de manejo quirúrgico de estas condiciones en Colombia.
Fractura osteocondral abierta del penacho de la falange distal en punta de dedo en niños: una lesión frecuentemente no diagnosticada
Authors: Kaempf de Oliveira Ricardo , Farina Brunelli João Pedro , Aita Márcio , Delgado Pedro J , Vergara-Amador Enrique
Published: September 2021

La mano es la región del cuerpo más afectada por los traumatismos en los niños. Los más pequeños a menudo sufren traumas por aplastamiento en la punta del dedo, lesiones cuyo tratamiento recibe poca atención en el servicio de urgencias y que muchas veces deja secuelas importantes. En los menores de 4 años, la epífisis proximal de la falange distal no está calcificada, por lo que no es visible en las radiografías, y la porción calcificada es mucho más pequeña. Al comparar con niños mayores, en este grupo de edad la punta del dedo está formada y sostenida más por tejidos blandos y cartílago, ya que la falange está cubierta en toda su superficie por un casquete condral. Por tal razón, durante una lesión por aplastamiento con flexión de la porción distal de la punta del dedo, la región más frágil es la unión osteocondral del penacho de la falange. Esto provoca lesión con desprendimiento de la placa ungueal, lesión de la matriz ungueal estéril, laceración de la piel con hueso expuesto y fractura osteocondral. El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir, mediante el reporte de dos casos, el mecanismo y el tratamiento de la lesión por aplastamiento de la punta del dedo en niños pequeños con fractura osteocondral expuesta asociada a daño en la matriz ungueal. Este tipo de lesiones requieren mayor atención en urgencias y deben tratarse como una fractura abierta para reducir el riesgo de infección y secuelas funcionales.

Authors: Bird Cylaina E. , Traylor Jeffrey I. , Thomas Jenna , Caruso James P. , Kafka Benjamin , Rosado Flavia , Blackburn Kyle M. , Hatanpaa Kimmo J. , Abdullah Kalil G.
Published: September 2021

Background:

Primary peripheral T-cell central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare, aggressive tumor that arises in the craniospinal axis and has an increased risk in individuals who are immunocompromised. This lesion often mimics other benign and malignant processes on radiographic imaging, leading to misdiagnosis and delays in treatment. We present a case of a patient with a history of Sjögren’s syndrome and progressive neurologic symptoms who underwent craniotomy for diagnosis.

Case Description:

A 61-year-old woman with a history of Sjögren’s syndrome, progressive aphasia, left facial droop, and right-sided paresthesias for 4 months presented for evaluation and management. An enhancing, infiltrative lesion in the left frontal lobe with underlying vasogenic edema was appreciated and suggestive of a primary or metastatic neoplasm. The patient underwent an open biopsy for further evaluation of the lesion. Extensive histopathologic evaluation revealed a diagnosis of T-cell PCNSL. The patient was started on induction methotrexate and temozolomide followed by consolidative radiotherapy.

Conclusion:

Autoimmune conditions are a risk factor for T-cell PCNSL development. T-cell PCNSL has radiographic and gross histologic features that are consistent with a broad differential, including gliomas and inflammatory processes. Prompt diagnosis and extensive histopathological evaluation is essential to ensure appropriate treatment.
Esthetics outcomes in patients submitted to pterional craniotomy and its variants: A scoping review

Published: September 2021

Background:

Highly performed nowadays, the pterional craniotomy (PC) has several widespread variants. However, these procedures are associated with complications such as temporalis muscle atrophy, facial nerve frontal branch damage, and masticatory difficulties. The postoperative cranial aesthetic is, nonetheless, the main setback according to patients. This review aims to map different pterional approaches focusing on final aesthetics.

Methods:

This review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. Studies were classified through the Oxford method. We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from January 1969 to February 2021 for cohorts and randomized clinical trials that met our inclusion criteria.

Results:

1484 articles were initially retrieved from the databases. 1328 articles did not fit the inclusion criteria. 118 duplicates were found. 38 studies were found eligible for the established criteria. 27 (71.05%) were retrospective cohorts, with low evidence level. Only 5 (13.15%) clinical trials were found eligible to the criteria. The majority of the studies (36/38) had the 2B OXFORD evidence level. A limited number of studies addressed cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. The temporal muscle atrophy or temporal hollowing seems to be the patient’s main complaint. Only 17 (44.73%) studies addressed patient satisfaction regarding the aesthetics, and only 10 (26.31%) of the studies reported the cosmetic outcome as a primary outcome. Nevertheless, minimally invasive approaches appear to overcome most cosmetic complaints and should be performed whenever possible.

Conclusion:

There are several variants of the classic PC. The esthetic outcomes are poorly evaluated. The majority of the studies were low evidence articles.

Screening intrinsic capacity and its epidemiological characterization: a secondary analysis of the Mexican Health and Aging Study
Authors: Gutiérrez-Robledo Luis Miguel , García-Chanes Rosa Estela , Pérez-Zepeda Mario Ulises
Published: September 2021

Objective. To describe the levels of intrinsic capacity and those factors related to its decline in Mexican older adults, using the Mexican Health and Aging Study.

Methods. This is a cross-sectional secondary analysis of the 2015 data of the Mexican Health and Aging Study, including adults aged 50 years and above. Selected questions were included to represent each domain of intrinsic capacity screening: cognition, depression, hearing, vision, anorexia, weight loss, and mobility. Sociodemographic characteristics, psychosocial factors, and health conditions were included to assess their association with intrinsic capacity. Further categories were established to assess not only individual characteristics but also different groupings. Along with descriptive statistics, multinomial regression models were performed.

Results. From a total of 12 459 adults aged 50 years and above, 54.7% were women and the average age was 71.2 years; 87.8% of the individuals had at least one intrinsic capacity domain affected, and mobility had the highest frequency (47.6%). All domains showed a trend of increasing with age and were higher among women. Self-rated health, chronic diseases, number of visits to a physician in the last year, and ≥2 affected activities of daily living were consistently associated with more intrinsic capacity domains affected.

Conclusions. Decreased levels of intrinsic capacity in Mexican older people are associated with less schooling, self-rated health, chronic diseases, visits to a physician, and activities of daily living.
THE OBSERVANCE OF OFFICIAL SECRECY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY OF EVERY OFFICIAL OF THE STATE
Authors:   Bryansk State University named after Academician I. G. Petrovsky, Rodina Tatyana Yu.
Published: September 2021

This article analyzes the provisions of the Russian legislation regulating the restrictions of the constitutional right to information. It is shown that access to information is not personal, but of a state-civil nature, and therefore, while respecting the freedom of everyone to meet their information needs, it is necessary to observe the equality of subjects, ensuring an objective right to access information. This is impossible without the legislative consolidation of the duty of every state official to observe official secrets. In this connection, the author's definition of this legal institution is proposed, and the information regulated by this legal regime is indicated. Two new types of official secrets are also proposed: official civil secrets and official municipal secrets, which define the norms in which it is advisable to include these concepts. In this regard, it is necessary to make changes in the conceptual apparatus of federal laws regulating civil and municipal services.

Authors:   Institute for Demographic Research FCTAS RAS, Sivoplyasova Svetlana Yu. ,   Мoscow Aviation Institute (National Research University)
Published: September 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the dynamics of migration from Central Asian countries to Russia during the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. Statistical data of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation were used. They reflect the dynamics of migration registration and removal of foreign citizens. It is difficult to judge the number of migrants in our country based on these data, but nevertheless it is possible to assess the dynamics and intensity of migration processes. The study revealed that the scale of migration flow from Central Asian countries to Russia in the second quarter of 2020 decreased by 1.5-2 times compared to the first quarter of 2020.The largest reduction is noted among tourist and labor migration. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the migration activity of population of Central Asian countries in the direction of its decline and transformed the structure of the migration flow from this region. The Russian labor market is experiencing a shortage of labor in some sectors of production. However, the paradox is that it is felt against the background of rising unemployment in the country. This deficit is only partially compensated by Russian workers, so employers are waiting for the opening of borders and the influx of foreign labor.

Community-based nutritional intervention for reducing malnutrition among children under 5 years of age in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Authors: Malekafzali H.
Published: September 2021

A project was conducted in a rural area in September 1994 with the aim of decreasing the incidence of protein-energy malnutrition among children under 5 years, by nutritional intervention through the primary health care system. An initial situation analysis revealed the region’s resources and causes of malnutrition. Practical instruction on feeding methods, deworming, environmental sanitation, the promotion of home-grown vegetables and reinforcement of the growth monitoring programme were chosen as the routes for intervention. All indices were reassessed in the region after 1 year. Results showed that nutritional awareness had grown among mothers, and that the incidence of malnutrition had dropped from 6.5% to 1.8%, as measured against the weight-for-height index
An appraisal of computed tomography pelvimetry in patients with previous caesarean section
Authors: Abou Ghazzeh Y. M. , Barqawi R.
Published: September 2021

This study was conducted to determine the value of computed tomography [CT] pelvimetry in patients with previous caesarean section. Of 219 pregnant women with one previous caesarean section, 100 had antenatal CT pelvimetry and a control group of 119 women had no CT pelvimetry. In the CT pelvimetry group, 51.0% delivered by caesarean section, 28.0% underwent elective caesarean section for contracted pelvis based on the findings of CT pelvimetry and 23% underwent emergency caesarean section after a trial labour. In the control group, 21.8% underwent emergency caesarean section. The differences in birth weight and Apgar scores between the groups were not statistically significant. CT pelvimetry increased the rate of caesarean delivery, suggesting that CT pelvimetry before a vaginal birth after a previous caesarean delivery is of limited value

Participants were classified as diabetic or non-diabetic and as either obese [BMI > 30 kg/m2], overweight [BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2] or normal [BMI < 25 kg/m2]. The prevalence of obesity was calculated in the total sample and separately for diabetic and non-diabetic males and females. The results showed obesity and overweight in 13.05% and 27.23% of males and 20.26% and 25.20% of females respectively. The prevalence of both obesity and overweight were significantly higher among diabetics than non-diabetics. In each province, diabetics had a significantly higher prevalence of obesity than non-diabetics. Several interprovincial variations were seen. Public education on obesity and overweight and ways to decrease them are recommended in Saudi Arabia

Authors: Millat W. A.
Published: September 2021

A self-administered questionnaire was given to 6380 female secondary-school students [mean age = 18.1 years]in Jeddah to identify their knowledge of breast cancer and attitude towards breast self-examination [BSE]. Knowledge of risk factors and presentation was very low. Over 80% of students failed to answer 50% of the questions correctly. A higher knowledge level was associated with older age, marriage and having children. Also students who had undergone mammography, had been exposed to breast surgery or had a positive family history of breast cancer showed significantly higher knowledge levels. Only 39.6% reported ever hearing of BSE and only 14.4% and 7.1% respectively knew the correct frequency and timing. However, 82.4% had a positive attitude towards learning BSE

Serological and biochemical characteristics of virulence plasmid of Yersinia enterocolitica isolates from chicken in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Authors: Motallebi M.
Published: September 2021

Pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica harbour plasmid that is essential for virulence. We studied the characteristics of virulence plasmid using serological, biochemical and bioassay tests in Y. enterocolitica isolates of chicken using plasmid curing. Plasmid-cured isogenic derivatives [2029c and 2150c] were obtained from two isolates of Y. enterocolitica [RTCC 2029 and RTCC 2150]. The results demonstrated that plasmid-bearing isolates [2029 and 2150] were human-serum-resistant when grown at 37°C, but were sensitive when grown at 25°C, whereas plasmid-cured isolates [2029c and 2150c] were sensitive when grown at both temperatures. Also autoagglutination, calcium-dependency tests and experimental infection in mice demonstrated that these phenotypes were associated with the virulence plasmid

Published: September 2021

A cross-sectional study was conducted in specialist children’s hospitals in Alexandria, which aimed to evaluate the current regimen of secondary prophylaxis for children suffering from rheumatic heart disease. Two-thirds of the patients had complied with their prophylactic regimen. Prophylactic failure occurred in one-third of the patients, raising doubts about the efficacy of the brands of penicillin prescribed. Recurrence of rheumatic fever was recorded in 37.3% of the patients, with semiurban or rural residence and non-compliance with secondary prophylaxis the significant risk factors. These unsatisfactory findings suggest the need for a more effective strategy of primary and secondary prophylaxis for controlling rheumatic fever in our community

Published: September 2021

The association between early gestational bleeding and suboptimal pregnancy outcome was examined. Postpartum women were interviewed during January-October 1998 at the two main obstetric hospitals in Alexandria, Egypt. Of 1503 singleton deliveries, 10.6% reported bleeding; 63.5% and 36.5% during first and second trimesters respectively. Bleeding was more frequent among women of age >33 years, with history of low-birth-weight babies or previous miscarriage. Suboptimal outcomes occurred more often among women reporting bleeding than among those who never bled and the risk of such outcomes significantly increased with second trimester bleeding. Risk of a low-birth-weight baby, preterm delivery and perinatal death significantly decreased with increasing interpregnancy interval for women with first trimester or second trimester bleeding

Authors: Ghanizadeh A.
Published: September 2021

Using a self-reported questionnaire, 213 Shiraz University students were surveyed about their attitudes towards drug use [cigarettes, alcohol, opium, heroin, cannabis] and their use of drugs [ever or during the 6 months prior to the study]. About 52% had smoked cigarettes, 25% had tried alcohol, 21% opium and 12% cannabis; only one student had used heroin. Those who had used drugs obtained them from and used them with friends or acquaintances. The majority of students wanted more information on drugs, and considered television and films the best medium for providing information. Drug use among Shiraz University students is still lower than that reported in the West [except opium]. Drug prevention programmes relevant to Iranian culture should be devised.

Published: September 2021

Erectile dysfunction [ED] is one of the most common diseases of male sexual dysfunction. A cross-sectional study of 388 ED patients who attended six andrology and urology clinics in Jeddah for the first time was performed during a period of 3 months. ED was rated as mild [21% of patients], moderate [60%] or severe [19%], and was strongly associated with age. After adjusting for age, only lack of exercise, alcohol consumption and drug addiction were significantly associated with severity; hypertension, cardiac diseases and smoking were not. About two-thirds of the patients had poor quality of life; severe ED was the only significant predictor of this. Severe ED was not an indicator for co-morbidities.

A submerged body with varied control inputs can execute large drift angles and large angles of attack, as well as basic control such as straight movement and turning. The objective of this study is to analyze the dynamic characteristics of a submerged body comprising six thrusters and six control planes, which is capable of a large drift angle and angle of attack motion. Virtual captive model tests via were analyzed via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to determine the dynamic characteristics of the submerged body. A test matrix of virtual captive model tests specialized for large-angle motion was established. Based on this test matrix, virtual captive model tests were performed with a drift angle and angle of attack of approximately 30° and 90°, respectively. The characteristics of the hydrodynamic force acting on the horizontal and vertical surfaces of the submerged body were analyzed under the large-angle motion condition, and a model representing this hydrodynamic force was established. In addition, maneuvering simulation was performed to evaluate the standard maneuverability and dynamic characteristics of large-angle motion. Considering the shape characteristics of the submerged body, we attempt to verify the feasibility of the analysis results by analyzing the characteristics of the hydrodynamic force when the large-angle motion occurred.
