Alopecia X is a dermatological disorder that mainly affects Nordic breed dogs. Its cause is not completely clear. Alopecia X is characterized by its non-inflammatory aspect, being similar to endocrine-based dermatopathies. The main lesions are progressive hair loss in the affected areas, being less pronounced on the head and distal extremities of the limbs in more advanced cases. This study aims to report a case of alopecia X in a male, uncastrated German Spitz dog. At the first visit, an initial case of bilateral symmetrical alopecia was observed on the caudal side of the thighs and perineum, without pruritus, macroscopic signs of inflammation and clinical signs of systemic diseases. The patient underwent additional tests (including trichogram, skin scraping, direct ectoparasite screening and blood profile) in which parasitic and systemic diseases were ruled out. Based on clinical aspects, racial predisposition and exclusion of systemic causes, the diagnosis of alopecia X was considered. The treatment of choice was orchiectomy associated with the use of Melatonin, initially for 3 months. After 90 days of treatment, partial regrowth of the alopecic areas was observed, as well as a reduction in the area without hair, with return of primary and secondary hairs in the affected region. It is concluded in this case that the choice of orchiectomy associated with the use of melatonin was effective in improving the dermatological condition, and can be used as an ally in the

Authors: Martínez Rojas Diosmery , Lescalle Ortiz Yoleiny de la Caridad , Casabella Martínez Silvio , Chacón Alpí Angel Oshumaré
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an upper genital tract infection that mainly affects the endometrium, fallopian tubes and pelvic peritoneum. It represented one of the most common causes of morbidity in young women of reproductive age, especially between 16 and 25 years. This condition was associated with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and risky sexual behaviors, underscoring the importance of early detection and appropriate treatment. Its initial diagnosis was challenging due to the variety of clinical presentations and the lack of reliable epidemiological data.Development: PID, in most cases, was caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis, although it also involved microorganisms of the vaginal flora. The disease presented a multifactorial etiology, aggravated by risk factors such as multiple sexual partners, inadequate use of contraceptives and invasive gynecological procedures. Progression of the infection to the upper tract led to complications such as infertility, chronic pelvic pain and ectopic pregnancies. Timely identification of risk factors and the application of diagnostic tools, such as ultrasound and laparoscopy, were essential to reduce serious sequelae.Conclusions: Prevention emerged as the most effective strategy against PID, with comprehensive sexual education and access to barrier contraceptive methods standing out. Multidisciplinary care improved clinical outcomes and reduced the impact of this disease. In addition, the strengthening of health systems and awareness campaigns contributed to reducing incidence and long-term complications

Authors: Molina Mora José Fabián , Zambrano Olvera Marcela Anarcaly
Published: January 2025

Labor law is recognized as one of the most protected worldwide, although it is also one of the most vulnerable due to the social challenges related to the right to equality for all people, regardless of their condition. In Ecuador, although the Constitution recognizes this right, it establishes specific guidelines for entry and permanence in the public sector, requiring merit-based and competitive examinations as the main requirement to guarantee job stability. However, there are hiring modalities that do not provide this stability. This study analyzes how people with disabilities who enter without this process can obtain job stability by law, which generates tensions with the principle of equality. Under a qualitative, descriptive and explanatory approach, and using the legal hermeneutic method, the incidence of the forms of entry to the public service in relation to labor stability is evaluated

Advances in Dental Treatments: Benefits of Ozone Therapy
Authors: Rita Sanda Alejandra Paula
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Ozone therapy is a medical technique used since 1840 with positive results in various disciplines, including dentistry. This method uses ozone, a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms, known for its high oxidizing potential. Its ability to destroy bacteria, fungi and viruses without harming human cells makes it a promising tool, especially in the management of oral and periodontal infections.Development: In dentistry, ozone is applied in gaseous, aqueous and oily forms, standing out for its antimicrobial, immunostimulant, antioxidant and analgesic efficacy. Its oxidizing action deactivates antibiotic-resistant microorganisms in seconds, which positions it as a safe and effective alternative against infectious agents. For example, ozonated water is used as an irrigant in non-surgical periodontal treatment, promoting tissue healing and reducing inflammation and gingival bleeding.Ozone also stimulates the production of biologically active substances such as interleukins and prostaglandins, strengthening the body's immune response. In addition, it improves oxygen transport in tissues and activates cell metabolism, contributing to tissue regeneration and patient recovery. Its biocompatibility and minimal side effects position it as an innovative and non-invasive solution in dentistry.Conclusion: Ozone therapy represents a valuable complementary tool in dentistry. Its antimicrobial capacity, together with anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects, makes it an efficient and safe option for the management of oral and periodontal infections. Its proper implementation maximizes its benefits, improving patient experience and clinical outcomes.

Published: January 2025

Benford's Law is a statistical tool used to analyze the distribution of digits in a dataset. This law posits that, in many cases, the first digit of a number is not random but follows a specific distribution, with the digit 1 being the most common, followed by 2, 3, and so on. This article analyzed the application of Benford's Law, through the distribution of the first digits of numbers across various datasets, to the results of the 2023 presidential elections, second round, in Ecuador. The objective was to detect potential anomalies or manipulations in the vote count. The authors used the official data published by the National Electoral Council of Ecuador and compared it with the expected values according to Benford's Law. The results showed that most provinces complied with Benford's Law, with some exceptions that could be attributed to random factors or irregularities. The authors conclude that Benford's Law is a useful, though not definitive, tool for assessing the integrity of electoral processes

Published: January 2025

In the present research work has done the evaluation of the antibacterial activity of aqueous and hydroalcoholic extracts of the leaves of Malva sylvestris and Malva pseudolavatera, against three microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae) and antioxidant evaluation of hydroalcoholic extracts, with the goal to provide an alternative in the treatment of infectious and chronic degenerative diseases. The antibacterial activity was performed by disk diffusion assays using Cefotaxime as a reference antibiotic; The antioxidant activity was carried out by three in vitro methods, the method of FRAP (ferro-reducing capacity), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydracil (DPPH) and 2,2'- azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonic (ABTS•+). The results obtained indicated that the analyzed extracts of both Malva species showed a moderate antibacterial activity in certain concentrations against the microorganisms E. coli,S. aureus and K. pneumoniae; and taking into account the results of the antioxidant activity in the three in vitro methods tested, it was I observed that as the concentration of the extracts increased, the reducing power (FRAP test) and the anti-radicals activity (DPPH and ABTS•+ tests) increased as well, manifesting a high antioxidant activity. As a consequence of this, we can conclude that Malva sylvestris and Malva pseudolavatera leaf extracts produce inhibition halos in the strains of the microorganisms evaluated (E. coli, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae), in addition to presenting inhibition of the radicals used (DPPH, ABTS•+) and ferro- reducing capacity (FRAP).

Graphic organizers facilitate meaningful learning; however, in Ecuador, there is no research on their use. The objective of the study was to evaluate the knowledge and use of graphic organizers, as well as preferences in study techniques and reading habits among medical students at the Regional Autonomous University of the Andes (UNIANDES), Ecuador. A self-designed online questionnaire was administered to medical students at UNIANDES between July and September 2023. The instrument included questions about knowledge and use of graphic organizers, study techniques employed, and reading habits. A total of 92 students participated (average age of 19 years; 67.4% women). About 68.5% (n=63) had not received training in study techniques. The mean number of books read in the last six months was 3, with a median of 2. The most frequently used study technique was summarization; the least known graphic organizer was the mentefacto. The majority recognized the importance of study techniques and considered that professors should promote their use. It is concluded that medical students at UNIANDES make little use of visual organizers (concept maps, mentefactos), even though they are aware of them, preferring traditional tools such as summarization

Access to higher education is a right that all human beings have, and it is up to the rulers of each country to guarantee resources and access for young people to universities. This work is developed with the objective of characterizing the reality of access to higher education in the Latin American context to dismantle the slogan that is a myth and not a reality. The research is predominantly qualitative and descriptive and focuses on the analysis of the main UNESCO statistics related to higher education in Latin America and the world. The study showed that only 54% of the population between 18 and 24 years old enter higher education in Latin America, which implies that almost half of young people do not access universities. In Latin America, for every 100 men who enter universities, 128 women enter, which shows that the gender approach does not influence access to universities, but less than 30% of young people from rural areas can enter the higher education system. , only 40% of indigenous people and 45.5% of Afro-descendants, which implies that there are large gaps related to ethnicities and place of residence for access to universities

This study examines the effectiveness of policies aimed at cultivating new professional farmers in East China, with a particular focus on the role of government support, stakeholder collaboration, and the challenges faced during the implementation of training programs. The aim of the study was to critically assess the impact of these training initiatives and identify key factors that influence their success. A qualitative case study approach was employed, using secondary data analysis of government reports, academic studies, and local evaluations. The findings revealed that while government policies provided a strong framework for agricultural modernization, the success of training programs was impeded by insufficient local resources, fragmented stakeholder collaboration, and farmers' reluctance to adopt new farming techniques. Additionally, the quality of training varied significantly across regions, limiting the program’s effectiveness. The study concludes that the full potential of these training programs can be realized through enhanced stakeholder collaboration, localized policy implementation, and addressing resource and motivation barriers. The implications for policy include the need for more tailored, region-specific strategies, greater investment in infrastructure, and improved coordination between stakeholders to ensure the sustainability and inclusivity of the training initiatives.
“Love Your Neighbor” as a Missionary Method in James’ Epistle
Authors: Johnson Phyllis D.
Published: January 2025

Phyllis D. Johnson's article, "Love Your Neighbor” as a Missionary Method in James’ Epistle, delves into the missional theology embedded in the book of James, particularly chapter 2. Johnson argues that a deeper hermeneutic reveals James’ emphasis on the Royal Law: "Love your neighbor as yourself," derived from Leviticus 19:18 and reinforced by Jesus. This principle serves as a moral and ethical guide for believers, urging practical expressions of faith through compassionate actions. The article explores the broader biblical context of "neighbor," extending beyond cultural and national boundaries. Johnson posits that James’ epistle calls the church to function as a missionary outpost, advocating for social justice and care for the marginalized. By integrating faith and works, James emphasizes the importance of living out kingdom principles, thereby fulfilling the Great Commission and reflecting God's love to all humanity.
