Authors: Steeger Oliver
Published: September 2023

Das Hochtechnologieunternehmen TRUMPF investiert in Lernen und Ausbildung. Die Zahl der Auszubildenden und Dualen Studenten soll von derzeit 180 auf 300 steigen. Für das Unternehmen, das mit seinen 16.554 Mitarbeitern auf Werkzeugmaschinen und Lasertechnik spezialisiert ist, ist Ausbildung nicht nur ein Weg aus dem Fachkräftemangel. Das Familienunternehmen sieht darin auch eine soziale Verantwortung. Jüngst hat es sein neues Aus- und Weiterbildungszentrum am Stammsitz Ditzingen eröffnet, ein Projekt, an dessen Ende ein zukunftsweisender, dreistöckiger Neubau stand. Herzstück des neuen „TRUMPF Education Centers” ist eine kleine Smart Factory. Dort werden Auszubildende und Studenten künftig Schlüsseltechnologien und Vernetzungsangebote von TRUMPF hautnah erleben. Das Besondere bei diesem Vorhaben für Aus- und Weiterbildung: Die Auszubildenden haben einige Gebäudeelemente selbst (mit-)entwickelt. In Projekten gestalteten sie beispielsweise Flächen für Kreativität und Kollaboration. Marco Klein (Leiter Aus- und Weiterbildung) sowie Stefan Oberrieder (Leiter technische Ausbildung) berichten, wie sie junge Menschen in die Entwicklung des Aus- und Weiterbildungszentrums einbezogen haben – und weshalb sich die Ideen der jungen Menschen für ihr Unternehmen lohnen.

Die erfolgreiche Inbetriebnahme kundenindividueller Anlagen ist nur durch ein effektives und effizientes Projektmanagement möglich. Für die Planung und Steuerung dieser Projekte benötigt das Projektmanagement Status-Meldungen zu logistischen Ist-Prozessen zur und auf der Baustelle, die im Maschinen- und Anlagenbau selten rechtzeitig in der benötigten Qualität und Quantität vorliegen. Zur Verbesserung der Datenverfügbarkeit ist eine Methodik entwickelt worden, die für konkrete Anwendungsfälle geeignete Technologien zur (teil-)automatischen Datenerfassung vorschlägt. Ein Technologie- und Kriterienkatalog sowie eine umfassende Technologiebewertung schaffen die Wissensbasis für das Identifizieren geeigneter Technologien mit Hilfe eines Anforderungsprofils. Die Methodik wird in Form einer Demonstrationsplattform instanziiert und zur Unterstützung im Projektmanagement bereitgestellt.
De barberos a cirujanos
Authors: Vaquero Puerta Carlos , Manuel Díez Cintia Flota , Brizuela José Antonio , San Norberto Enrique
Published: September 2023

A lo largo de la historia, el tratamiento de los enfermos ha tenido muchos enfoques. Al principio el tratamiento se realizaba por médicos que practicaban la cirugía. Más adelante existió una especialización del profesional que realizaba procedimientos quirúrgicos. En la edad media, existió una figura que era el barbero cirujano que trataba los enfermos sin grandes conocimientos ni formación técnica. A lo largo de los siglos estos barberos que coexistieron con cirujanos más científicos desaparecieron, especialmente al implantarse un sistema de formación para el profesional de la cirugía, hasta llegar al momento actual que el cirujano tiene una clara diferenciación y gran especialización

Authors: Vaquero Puerta Carlos , Diez M , García Rivera E , Hernández C , Fidalgo L , San Norberto E
Published: September 2023

Ernst Ferdinand Sauerbruch, se le considera como uno de los cirujanos más relevantes de la primera mitad del siglo XX. De una personalidad carismática, desarrolló su actividad en diferentes hospitales universitarios destacando los de Zúrich, Múnich y especialmente el de la Charité de Berlín. Realizo importantes aportaciones en el campo de la cirugía torácica, del tratamiento de la hidrocefalia, de la cirugía tiroidea, de la cirugía oncológica además de otras aportaciones como fue la cámara de vacío para tener la posibilidad de abrir el tórax e intervenir sus órganos o el desarrollo de una mano protésica fundamentalmente utilizable por los enfermos amputados en la I Guerra Mundial. Fue maestro de numerosos cirujanos alemanes y también de otros países. Su declive comienza tras terminar la Segunda Guerra Mundial al intentar seguir operando sufriendo un progresivo deterioro mental. El otro aspecto polémico de su figura, se centra al haber participado de forma activa tanto desde el punto de vista social, académico e incluso político durante el régimen nacionalsocialista en Alemania.

Authors: Haidar Abdullah , Hendrasto Nur , Herindar Evania
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficiency of the Islamic banking business in Indonesia, specially Islamic Rural Bank in Central Javas. As a component of Indonesia's Islamic banking ecosystem, it is critical to understand the extent those banks work optimally together to support the development of Islamic finance, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic, and to realize public welfare, particularly through productive financing consistent with Sustainable Development Goals Objectives. In the periode of  2016 until 2020, this study examined a sample of  20 Islamic Rural Banks in central Java. The study was conducted using a non-parametric approach known as DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis). The intermediation strategy was used to determine the input and output variables in this study. Fixed assets, operational costs, and third-party money are included as input variables. Meanwhile, the output variable is made up of the quantity of finance granted and the amount of operating income earned. The findings of this study reveal that the efficiency of Islamic Rural Bank in Central Java has a shifting tendency across the 2016–2020 timeframe, with the average bank experiencing a decline in efficiency during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, this study assesses the possibility for improvement of inefficient programs using input and output data. The primary source of inefficiency is in the output variable, particularly in terms of customer financing. Additionally, this research makes recommendations to a variety of stakeholders, including practitioners, academics, and regulators.

Authors: Hayati Riska Fauziah , Busyro Busyro , Warman Arifki Budia
Published: September 2023

This paper departs from the phenomenon of disruption that has shaken various orders of life, including sharia economics. This paper wants to examine the challenges of the era of disruption to Islamic economics, and how Islamic economics accommodates and modifies to answer these challenges. This is a qualitative research with data, namely related literature on sharia economics and economic disruption. Data were analyzed by descriptive qualitative. This study finds that there are several challenges faced by Islamic economics, including: legal rules are not yet complex, human resources are not optimal, transaction processing adjustments, lack of research, not optimal government support and low education and socialization of sharia economy. So it is necessary to strengthen the sharia economy at the practical and normative level. The flexibility and basic values of sharia economic law which contain material and spiritual spirit need to be implemented properly. The existence of Islamic Financial Institutions also needs to be maximized to improve the people's economy in the era of disruption.

Effect of volume and methylene blue on fluorescence intensity and transit of indocyanine green for sentinel lymph node mapping in a simulated feline tumor model
Authors: Lu Hui Yu , McKenna Charly , Ram Ann , Oblak Michelle L.
Published: September 2023

OBJECTIVE

To compare the effect of volume and solution on transit time and fluorescence intensity (FI) using near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIRF) in a simulated tumor model in cats. Secondarily, to describe SLN mapping with indocyanine green (ICG) NIRF and report any adverse effects of intradermally injected ICG in cats.

ANIMALS

7 healthy purpose-bred domestic shorthaired male cats.

METHODS

Cats were randomly divided into 2 groups (ICG or ICG + methylene blue [MB]). Transit time and FI were determined for 1 or 2 mL solutions injected intradermally in 4 quadrants around a simulated tumor. Following massage, fluorescence intensity was quantified by calculating the corrected total ROI fluorescence using ImageJ software. Cats were monitored for adverse effects up to 4 weeks post-injection.

RESULTS

A larger solution volume had decreased transit times to the SLN (P = .001). There was no significant difference in transit times between ICG and ICG-MB. ICG demonstrated a greater FI (P = .001) in the SLN compared to ICG-MB. Methylene blue did not percutaneously fluoresce under NIRF. The volume of the solution did not significantly affect FI. No adverse reactions were reported.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Increased volume of ICG may aid in rapid percutaneous lymphatic tracking from tumor to SLN. Indocyanine green alone may be preferred over ICG-MB for greater visualization of the SLN. Intradermal injections of ICG and ICG-MB were well-tolerated in healthy cats with no significant complications. Clinical evaluation of this technique in an impaired lymphatic system, as seen in cancer patients, should be assessed in future research.
Employee perspective on site accidents and corporate reputation in developing countries
Authors: Adesi Michael , Owusu-Manu De-Graft , Boateng Frank , Ahiabu Moses
Published: September 2023

Brief introduction to the Problem

Construction accident studies often overlook the internal perspective of employees on site accidents’ impact on corporate reputation.

Purpose

This study investigates the effects of construction site accidents on corporate reputation from an internal viewpoint of stakeholders, focusing on employees. It also determines the extent of the association between site accidents and corporate reputation in middle-income economies.

Design/methodology/approach

A quantitative approach was used, with 150 survey questionnaires administered to employees in construction firms using purposive sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools, including the Pearson correlation and factor analysis, were used to analyse the results.

Findings

Site accidents have 17 identified effects on corporate reputation, negatively impacting leadership, financial management, ethics, shareholder value, and sustainability.

Originality

This study highlights the significant impact of construction site accidents on corporate reputation from an internal perspective of employees and identifies the need for more research on this issue. It has the potential to influence construction health and safety research focus, which has previously not addressed the issue of corporate reputation from an internal perspective.
Les Aenigmata de Symposius - Jeux et dissimulations
Authors: Siegenthaler Pierre
Published: September 2023

Dans son recueil d’Aenigmata, le poète latin Symp(h)osius (IVe–Ve s.) fait précéder chaque énoncé d’un titre qui en indique la solution. Cette disposition, inhabituelle, semble priver le lectorat du processus de réflexion nécessaire à un réel jeu énigmatique. Pierre Siegenthaler propose de réévaluer l’expérience ludique qu’un tel livre pouvait malgré tout offrir. À travers une étude sélective du corpus, il démontre que Symposius a mis en place différentes stratégies visant à guider son lector vers une interprétation alternative – et souvent autoréflexive – du texte. La résolution de ce jeu cryptique permet d’accéder à un discours dissimulé par le poète et de mieux cerner son projet littéraire. L'étude offre également une nouvelle traduction française des Aenigmata, œuvre rarement rendue accessible dans cette langue.
Konflikt und Konzil - Der Donatistenstreit in der Spätantike
Authors: Marti Liliane
Published: September 2023

Inwiefern und unter welchen Umständen sind Konzile als kollektive Form von Konfrontation und Konsensbildung geeignet, um religiöse Konflikte zu bearbeiten? Am Beispiel des Donatistenstreits im 4. und 5. Jahrhundert widmet die Autorin sich diesen Fragen. Aus akteurszentrierter Perspektive, die nach diversen Arten absichtsvoller, zielgerichteter und flexibler Konfliktbearbeitung fragt, und mit Blick auf die Interaktionsformen und deren vergesellschaftende Wirkung analysiert und vergleicht sie fünf exemplarisch ausgewählte Konzile. Dabei wird deutlich, dass Konzile nicht zwangsläufig auf die Beendigung des Konflikts ausgelegt sind. Verschiedentlich wirken sie konfliktgestaltend, indem sie den Konflikt in einem kontrollierten und regulierten Rahmen sichtbar machen, identifizieren, lenken und langfristig dokumentieren.

Published: September 2023

Eclipta prostrata (L.) is a traditional herbal medicine belonging to the Eclipta genus in the Asteraceae family. This plant is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions such as South America and Asia. According to the traditional medicine of some Asian countries (China, India, Thailand), E. prostrata is used to treat hepatic and renal diseases, diabetes, skin diseases, respiratory disorders, cool blood, and stanch bleeding. Besides, it also shows antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antimicrobial activities. In Vietnam, the plant grows naturally in moist soil and is distributed from mountainous areas to plains. It is used to treat coughs and burns, respiratory infections, and boils. In this research, four saponins including eclalbasaponin I-II and eclalbasaponin IV-V were isolated from the methanol extract of Eclipta prostrata using various modern chromatography methods such as TLC, CC, and HPLC. Their chemical structures were identified by analysis of 1D, 2D-NMR, and ESI-MS spectra data and by comparison of the spectral data in the literature. Eclalbasaponin IV and V were first reported from Eclipta prostrata cultivated in Vietnam.
Transtorno de personalidade borderline em tempos de COVID-19 e abordagens terapêuticas: uma revisão narrativa de abordagens não farmacológicas
Authors: Lima Flávia Marques Melandi de , Moçambique Milton Armando Teresa Malai
Published: September 2023

A pandemia de COVID-19 afetou todos os aspectos da vida, com a disseminação do vírus globalmente e o isolamento social como medida preventiva mais difundida. A pandemia de COVID-19 é uma realidade potencialmente perigosa que pode afetar negativamente o curso clínico dos pacientes com transtorno de personalidade borderline (TPB) e acarretar graves consequências por falta de apoio. O objetivo deste trabalho foi aferir como a COVID-19 afetou os pacientes com TPB e quais abordagens não farmacológicas foram usadas. Os pacientes com TPB são mais solitários, têm menos contatos sociais e menor necessidade e gosto por interação social, se comparados com a população em geral. É necessário que os profissionais de saúde sejam habilitados em programas de terapias ou psicoterapias breves, e esse custo pode ser compensado pelo maior bem-estar das famílias, bem como pela redução dos sintomas psiquiátricos e da sobrecarga no ambiente familiar. A terapia comportamental dialética (TCD) foi a terapia mais utilizada e a que mais mostrou resultados positivos. Em comparação com a TCD, ainda há um trabalho considerável a ser feito para aplicação da terapia de esquema (TE) e da terapia de aceitação e compromisso (TAC) no tratamento dos pacientes com TPB, pois ainda existem poucos profissionais capacitados.

Authors: Danilovskaia Anna
Published: September 2023

The subject of the study is the criminal law policy in the field of fair competition protection and competition policy, certain aspects of their correlation and problems of implementation, including the state of legislation and law enforcement. The purpose of the work is to identify the problems of interdependence of regulatory, protective, including repressive directions of state policy in the field of competition protection and to identify ways to solve them. The research methodology is based on general scientific and private scientific methods of cognition - system analysis, logical, comparative, formal dogmatic, historical and legal methods, statistical methods, questionnaires, legal forecasting. The work resulted in conclusions on the interdependence of competition and criminal law policy in the field of competition protection, proposals for improving the diversified mechanism for countering encroachments on fair competition. Scope of application of the results: legislative, scientific, educational activities. The novelty of the study is: 1) in the features of the conducted analysis of the statistics of anticompetitive violations, which is based on the author's study of sentences imposed in relation to crimes whose compositions have signs of violations of antimonopoly legislation; 2) in establishing the preventive and suppressive significance of the Federal Law "On Protection of Competition" in relation to anticompetitive crime, as an element of competition policy relevant to criminal law 3) in proposals to strengthen the preventive significance of a special law, improve the norms of criminal legislation, as well as the mechanism of interaction between antimonopoly and law enforcement agencies. The conclusions are that the criminal law policy in the field of competition protection depends on the directions of competition policy. The solution of the problems of interdependence should be aimed at strengthening the preventive meaning of a special law, clarifying the terms used to determine the grounds of criminal liability, criteria for differentiation of responsibility, as well as at eliminating gaps in the necessary criminal law repression, normative consolidation of the interaction of antimonopoly and law enforcement agencies.
Disparidad silenciosa: abordando las diferencias en la formación de vía aérea difícil en América Latina
Authors: Lasso Andrade Fabricio Andres
Published: September 2023

El paradigma de la educación médica basada en competencias, establecido por la OMS hace décadas, plantea la necesidad de evaluar las habilidades en el lugar de trabajo. En anestesiología, la baja frecuencia de situaciones críticas como la intubación difícil o la ventilación complicada representa un desafío educativo. La simulación de estas situaciones ha demostrado ser útil para abordar esta falta de exposición, brindando retroalimentación y permitiendo repetir los escenarios hasta alcanzar los objetivos de aprendizaje. Sin embargo, la distribución desigual de los centros de simulación en América Latina genera una inequidad en la adquisición de competencias, especialmente en el manejo de situaciones críticas. Esta inequidad podría convertirse en un nuevo determinante de salud, afectando los resultados quirúrgicos y la mortalidad, especialmente en poblaciones pediátricas y minorías étnicas.
The analgesic efficacy of subcutaneous nalbuphine compared with epidural analgesia in abdominal surgeries: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Afify Noha , Gaballah Khaled
Published: September 2023

Background: Analgesia represents a cornerstone for the perioperative management of patients undergoing open abdominal surgery. Epidural analgesia (EPA) is a standard method for pain control in 50%-60% of major abdominal surgeries. Nalbuphine -a synthetic opioid agonist/ antagonist- has equianalgesic properties to morphine but without the undesirable side effects of the pure agonists. Objective: We compared the perioperative analgesic efficacy of subcutaneous nalbuphine and epidural analgesia in abdominal surgeries. Methods: 130 adult patients of both sexes with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class I or II aged 20-60 years were randomized into two equal groups. After induction of general anesthesia, the epidural was activated with 18 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% + 2 ml fentanyl (100 Mcg) in group (I), while in a group (II) subcutaneous nalbuphine (0.15 mg/kg) was injected. The time for the first postoperative analgesic request was recorded as the primary endpoint. The cumulative analgesics consumption within the first 24 postoperative hours and drug-related side effects were the secondary outcomes. Results: The time for the first postoperative analgesia request was significantly longer in group II than in group I (10.8 ± 1.34 vs 3.29 ± 0.72 hours) (p < 0.05). There was a significant reduction in postoperative analgesic requirements in group II compared with group I. Group II patients had significantly more sedation levels than group I (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Under the conditions of this study, subcutaneous nalbuphine showed a superior analgesic profile than epidural analgesia for open abdominal surgeries.

Authors: Pérez-Ajami Daniel , Albero Ignacio , Zarragoikoetxea Iratxe , Viscasillas Navarro Elisa , Argente Navarro Pilar
Published: September 2023

A 21-year-old male patient who was admitted in the ICU after multiple traumas suffered hemodynamic and respiratory deterioration requiring peripheral veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) support as a bridge to recovery within the first forty-eight hours of his hospital admission. Thanks to this therapy, he significantly improved allowing the withdrawal of ECMO 144 hours after its implantation. However, the bedside ultrasound exam performed after the ECMO removal reported a hyperechogenic mass inside in the inferior vena cava (IVC). Due to its sonographic characteristics, a molding thrombus of the femoral ECMO cannula was suspected. Subcutaneous enoxaparin was given for 1 mg/ kg every 12 hours until the thrombus disappeared.
Perioperative approach of thoracic ganglioneuroblastoma
Authors: Sarmiento Diana , Andrade López María José , Casanova Andrea , Garavis Isabella , Castro Lizeth
Published: September 2023

We present the case of a 20-month-old patient with a ganglioneuroblastoma, who had received two cycles of chemotherapy, and in whom it was decided to resect the tumor via thoracotomy. It was found that the tumor was firmly adhered to the aortic arch, left carotid artery and roots of thoracic nerves, however a 99% tumor resection was achieved. We want to highlight the importance of this anesthetic challenge that this case represented in the perioperative period due to the delicate state of the patient as well as the abundant use of hemodynamic monitoring technology throughout the procedure.

Transferable diversity – a data-driven approach to chemical representation
Authors: Vuckovic Stefan , Gould Tim , Chang Bun , Dale Stephen
Published: September 2023

Transferability, especially in the context of model generalization, is a paradigm of all scientific disciplines. However, the rapid advancement of machine learned model development threatens this paradigm, as it can be difficult to understand how transferability is embedded (or missed) in complex models. While transferability in general chemistry machine learning should benefit from diverse training data, a rigorous understanding of transferability together with its interplay with chemical representation remains an open problem. We introduce a transferability framework and apply it to a controllable data-driven model for developing density functional approximations (DFAs), an indispensable tool in everyday chemistry research. We reveal that human intuition introduces chemical biases that can hamper the transferability of data-driven DFAs, and we identify strategies for their elimination. We then show that uncritical use of large training sets can actually hinder the transferability of DFAs, in contradiction to typical “more is more” expectations. Finally, our transferability framework yields transferable diversity, a cornerstone principle for data curation for developing general-purpose machine learning models in chemistry

Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) offers a pathway to produce valuable chemical fuels from CO2 molecules. However, its efficiency in aqueous electrolytes is hindered by the concurrent H2 evolution reaction (HER), which takes place at similar potentials. While recent studies have highlighted critical role of cation selection to improve efficiency of eCO2RR, targeted studies elucidating anion effect on eCO2RR activity and selectivity are lacking. Herein, we present a systematic investigation of the anion-dependent eCO2RR selectivity and activity on gold catalyst using in situ Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (DEMS) among wide range of anions. Our results reveal that by replacing bicarbonate with carboxylate anions, HER is largely suppressed. Furthermore, we show that propionate and acetate can promote eCO2RR on par with bicarbonate, unlike other studied anions that display largely increased eCO2RR overpotential. Notably, propionate benefits from both suppressed HER and eCO2RR kinetics comparable to bicarbonate: reaching impressive Faradaic Efficiency close to 100% while displaying high CO production rates that are comparable to bicarbonate. These insights underscore the vital role of anion selection in achieving highly efficient eCO2RR in aqueous electrolytes.

The development of environmentally friendly plastics is receiving renewed attention for a sustainable society. The trade-off between toughness and degradability is one of the issues associated with biodegradable polymers, which prevents these materials from being broadly utilised. However, designing biodegradable polymers that overcome these issues is often difficult. In this study, we demonstrate that machine-learning techniques can contribute to the development of multiblock polyamides composed of Nylon6 and alpha-amino acid segments that are satisfactorily mechanically tough and degradable. Multi-objective optimisation based on Gaussian process regression suggested appropriate alpha-amino acid sequences for polyamides endowed with both properties. Physical factors associated with the sequence as well as higher-order multiblock-derived structures were revealed to be essential for endowing these polymers with satisfactory properties. Furthermore, these materials are degradable in natural muddy water. Our method provides a useful approach for designing and understanding environmentally friendly plastics and other materials with multiple properties.

Spin coating is a wide-spread, quick, and inexpensive method to create nanometer-thick thin films of various polymers, such as polystyrene, on top of solid substrates. Since the film thickness determines the mechanical, optical, and degradation properties of the coated film, it is essential to develop a simple method to predict thickness based on other manipulatable factors. In this study, a three-dimensional manifold relating initial solution concentration, thin film coverage thickness, and monodisperse bulk molecular weight is developed utilizing curve-fit machine learning. The model is able to receive polystyrene bulk molecular weight and desired thin film thickness as input and output an accurate prediction of initial solution concentration required to generate a coating of a desired thickness.

La pandemia ha colocado a los docentes ante un reto metodológico en el que la enseñanza On-line ha sido la alternativa a la enseñanza presencial. Todo ello ha conllevado a la incorporación de nuevas prácticas docentes, no solo durante el confinamiento sino también tras la vuelta a las aulas. Por consiguiente, el principal objetivo de esta investigación es analizar los cambios que los docentes de Lengua Extranjera han realizado respecto al uso de herramientas TIC y TAC, comunicación y metodología docente tras la pandemia del Covid-19. Mediante una metodología cualitativa se ha entrevistado a 9 docentes de Educación Primaria que imparten la asignatura de Lengua Extranjera. Los resultados reflejan que la pandemia ha provocado un cambio conductual en los docentes, quienes han aumentado la frecuencia de uso de TICs y TACs y han incluido canales de comunicación sincrónicos en el aula para llevar a cabo la docencia tras el confinamiento.
Does Innocence Matter in Criminal Appeals?
Authors: Gibson Cat
Published: September 2023

This article examines the importance of innocence in criminal appeals through the lens of Benjamine Spencer’s murder case history and its development through the appeals process. Spencer’s case shows how innocent people can easily be convicted with false evidence and a flawed criminal justice system. Criminal appeals should provide a true path to resolve faulty convictions and fixed flawed aspects of the criminal justice process.

La alimentación es la acción de comprar alimentos, seleccionar según las disponibilidades, preparar según usos y costumbres y, finalmente, degustar, no está asociado a moda pero es influenciable por publicidad, redes sociales y componentes químicos (saborizantes y azucares). El término de enfermedad periodontal está asociado para incluir todas las enfermedades del tejido blando y duro que rodea al diente, la cual incluye la presencia de: gingivitis: una infección reversible diagnosticada por la presencia y extensión de la inflamación gingival, se mide a través de la presencia del sangrado tras la evaluación odontológica. Periodontitis: es una enfermedad multifactorial relacionada con la disbiosis de la placa dento-bacteriana (bacterias gramnegativas), presenta una respuesta inflamatoria persistente en el huésped y puede generar la destrucción del hueso y del tejido blando que rodea al diente. Es claro que la periodontitis es más significante debido a que puede causar la pérdida de dientes; sin embargo, toda periodontitis se inicia con la presencia inicial de una gingivitis, y esta puede ser reversible con las medidas de prevención y tratamiento adecuadas. La distribución de estas enfermedades crónicas muestra una fuerte asociación con desigualdades sociales porque estas enfermedades afectan en mayor proporción a los grupos más vulnerables de tipo social y económico (pobreza). Varios estudios relacionan a la periodontitis con un impacto negativo sobre la calidad de vida de las personas; ocasionando diferentes efectos sobre los pacientes incluyendo: deterioro, malestar incomodidad, limitación en la función masticatoria; además afecta la apariencia, la autoestima y el bienestar psicosocial de los pacientes. Se aplicó una metodología descriptiva, con un enfoque documental, es decir, revisar fuentes disponibles en la red, con contenido oportuno y relevante para dar respuesta a lo tratado en el presente artículo.
