Authors: Arya Putraka Agus Ngurah
Published: July 2023

Sesuai dengan visi misi ISI Denpasar yaitu sebagai â€œPusat Unggulan Seni Budaya (Centre of Excellent) Berbasis Budaya Lokal Berwawasan Universalâ€ Dengan dasar itulah ISI Denpasar mendirikan UPT. Pusat Dokumentasi Lata Mahosadhi ISI Denpasar pada tanggal 16 juni 1997, dimana pada UPT. Pusat Dokumentasi ISI Denpasar terdapat beragam koleksi perangkat keras seni. Gamelan merupakan instrument yang tidak terpisahkan dengan adat dan kebudayaan masyarakat pulau Bali. Salah satu gamelan yang dominan dan memiliki pengaruh yang kuat terhadap gamelan di Bali ialah gamelan gong kebyar. Dari segi visual gamelan gong kebyar memiliki beragam tampilan, ada yang terdapat ukiran ornamen dengan warna emas (meprada) pada bagian pelawah ataupun terampa gamelan, juga terdapat gamelan gong kebyar yang tidak menggunakan ornamen sebagai hiasan pada plawah atau terampa, gamelan gong kebyar ini disebut sebagai gamelan gong kebyar lelengisan.  Bila dilihat secara visual koleksi gong kebyar lelengisan yang dimiliki oleh UPT. Pusat Dokumentasi Lata Mahosadhi ISI Denpasar memiliki bentuk yang polos namun unik dan kelasik, sehingga penulis ingin meneliti gamelan lelengisan berdasarkan unsur estetika visual berdasarkan dari mana gamelan lelengisan tersebut berasal, serta kapan gamelan gong kebyar lelengisan ini dibuat.  Adapun metode yang akan digunakan dalam proses penelitian ini ialah dengan metode pengumpulan data kualitatif, dengan pengumpulan data primer dan skunder, kemudian menganalisa kedua sumber data tersebut sehingga akan didapat suatu kesimpulan yang dapat dipertanggung jawabkan.  Sehingga pada akhirnya kesimpulan dari penelitian dapat digunakan sebagai refrensi ilmiah dan sebagai bahan ajar untuk kegiatan perkuliahan di Institut Seni Indonesia Denpasar.
Tari Rejang Gadung Di Desa Gadungan Kecamatan Slemadeg Timur Kabupaten Tabanan
Authors: Arshiniwati Ni Made , Sustiawati Ni Luh , Suryatini Ni Ketut
Published: July 2023

Tari Rejang Gadung merupakan salah satu jenis tari rejang yang biasanya ditarikan setiap upacara agama (odalan) di pura-pura di Desa Gadungan, Kecamatan Selemadeg Timur, Kabupaten Tabanan. Tari Rejang Gadung ditarikan secara bersama-sama oleh para wanita dewasa, remaja, dan anak-anak yang mau ngaturan ayah (berpartisipasi) menari. Para penari yang ada di belakang bergerak mengikuti penari paling depan yang tahu persis paileh (urutan gerak tarinya). Tidak ada pembatasan usia dan jumlah pemain, serta busana yang digunakan untuk tari tersebut adalah busana ke pura yang sopan. Permasalah yang ada, Mitra (Pengempon Pura Sindu) melihat bahwa belakangan ini tari Rejang Gadung mulai meredup akibat munculnya berbagai jenis tari khususnya tari rejang yang dapat disaksikan dengan mudah baik melalui youtube, televisi, maupun media elektronik lainnya. Masalah lain adalah penari yang menguasai tari dan diharapkan mampu memberikan contoh serta menari dengan mengambil posisi di depan kini semakin berkurang. Penyebab dari kurangnya kemampuan penari menarikan tari Rejang Gadung menurut Mitra karena kurangnya pembinaan atau pelatihan tentang teknik gerak dan koreografi yang tepat serta kurangnya media yang mendukung dalam mempelajari tari tersebut. Melihat permasalahan yang dihadapi Mitra, maka PKM ini bertujuan untuk memberikan solusi dengan memberikan pelatihan tari, tabuh, dan tata rias kepada warga pengempon Pura Sindu, sehingga eksistensi tari Rejang Gadung bisa dipertahankan. PKM ini juga menghasilkan video tari Rejang Gadung sebagai media pembelajaran atau pelatihan. Kegiatan PKM dilaksanakan melalui metode pemberdayaan dengan lima tahapan yaitu sosialisasi, koodinasi, pelatihan, pendampingan praktek lapangan, dan evaluasi. PKM ini dilakukan kurang lebih tiga bulan, pesertanya sekitar 50 orang terdiri dari penari anak-anak, remaja, dan dewasa, serta penabuh (pemain gamelan) dari berbagai tingkatan umur. Hasil PKM menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan penari Rejang Gadung dan kemampuan para penabuh terlihat semakin meningkat. Para penari sudah mampu menari tanpa diberikan contoh, penari sudah berani mengambil posisi di depan,  para penabuh  sudah mampu mengiringi tari Rejang Gadung. Melalui pelatihan ini para penari dan penabuh memperoleh pengalaman baik estetis, sosial, maupun kultural.

Authors: Marawu Ndimphiwe Mlamli , Utete Reward , Zhou Sheunesu
Published: July 2023

Good governance is an essential practice which brings sustainable good living standards and remains a pipedream to various countries. As such, the quest for service delivery has prompted the need for leaders at different levels, from the apex national government level to the lowest local government level, to exercise good governance. In the year 2021, over 5 464 complaints of poor service delivery were recorded in South Africa and of 257 South African municipalities, only 16 were in stable condition. However, there are limited previous studies on the relationship between good governance and service delivery. In pursuit of economic development, the purpose of this paper is to investigate good governance and show its spectre of relevance to service delivery with a view to providing lessons to South Africa. The paper dovetails with good governance and service delivery exercised in various developed countries. The study utilised a literature research approach in which the researcher gathered textbooks, seminar and workshop papers, journal articles, and both local and international newspapers and websites. The paper gives the key findings of this study which are useful to the South African Government. The Government of South Africa should develop useful initiatives to support the improvement of service quality along with the existing tools and systems that promote smooth and effective public service delivery.

Ground water should not be used for various purposes, because if it is excessively used it will disturb the balance of the groundwater environment. Various negative impacts of groundwater exploitation include a decrease in groundwater quality, a decrease in the ground water level or land subsidence and the number of unlicensed wells so that groundwater must be managed in balance through conservation. The mandate of the West Java Provincial Regulation Number 1 of 2017 in article 5 (five) that conservation is included in the implementation stage of groundwater management and the mandate of the Bandung City Regional Regulation Number 18 of 2011 which contains control of groundwater use. It is known that groundwater conservation in the city of Bandung has not been implemented properly by groundwater users. As a result, in several areas in the city of Bandung there has been a decrease in the depth of the groundwater level. This occurs because the implementation of policies on the dimensions of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure is still not understood as revealed in George C Edwards's theory. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the implementation of groundwater conservation policies in the city of Bandung, namely by analyzing the internal and external environment with the SWOT analysis method of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and formulating a strategy for implementing the implementation policies. groundwater conservation in the city of Bandung. The results of this strategy formulation can be applied through a program of activities at the Bandung City Government, namely organizing socialization and public awareness through publications, optimizing the manufacture of infiltration wells, biopores, injection wells to control groundwater pollution and analyzing groundwater balance to monitor the decline in groundwater levels.

The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) of the Republic of Indonesia is the leading sector in infrastructure development. To support this, PUPR for Roads and Bridges at the Regional IV Training and Education Center held training and conducted post-training evaluations for Core Work Unit Officials (PISK). Some of the problems faced, the evaluation of the training participants was considered to be still not optimal, because they had not been able to provide information about the outcomes of the training implementation. Another problem is the change in the quality of work of the alumni of the training participants has not provided a significant improvement for the organization. This study aims to analyze how the implementation of the post-training PISK evaluation is carried out, as well as to design an evaluation model. The method used in this research is a qualitative method, to elaborate a case more deeply and comprehensively. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the current PISK training evaluation is carried out through pre-test and post-test. Referring to the Kirkpatrick model, the stages that have been carried out in the evaluation of employees who have attended training, are only at level 1 (reaction) and level 2 (learning), while posttraining levels 3 and level 4 have not been implemented. The results of further research indicate that in the implementation of the evaluation, the implementation of the results of the implementation of the training has not been able to accurately measure the success of the implementation of the training. To improve the process of evaluating the implementation of the training, a post-training evaluation model was designed that focuses more on aspects of assessment time, assessment standards or norms, assessment instruments and assessors.

Subjective welfare is obtained from various internal and external factors in improving family welfare. Therefore, this study aims to look at the prevalence of the factors that shape the question of the welfare of the beneficiaries from the basic components/conditions of needs and welfare. A cross-section is used in this study because it is carried out in a certain period in view of the objective experience of subjective well-being. Therefore, we performed univariate and bivariate analyzes with chi-square tests to check for cross-relationships between variables. Research shows that one of the three basic needs is less relevant in shaping the quality of life, namely education. Meanwhile, welfare conditions (natural, economic, political, social, infrastructure, public services) in urban areas have a relationship in shaping the subjective well- being of beneficiaries, even though they are in critical or good conditions. There is a significant relationship between health, living standards, and all spheres of welfare in urban areas that shape the subjective well-being of beneficiaries and beneficiaries with their demographic characteristics showing that they are still below the poverty line. Therefore, the recommendation is addressed to the regional/central government to pay more attention to the quality of life of poor households in viewing and welfare through increasing human resources through efforts to improve the social economy to meet basic needs and improve the quality and accessibility of services. Because the quality of life is part of the goal of human development.

Vermicompost is one of increasingly applied organic fertilizer to many vegetable crops in order to reduce the dependency on synthetic fertilizer, including the use of urea as nitrogen source. This experiment aimed to determine the best dosage combination of vermicompost and synthetic urea on growth and yields of mung bean grown in Ultisols. This experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design  with three replicates. Treatments consisted of  (1) control, no urea and no vermicompost, (2) 50 kg/ha urea + no vermicompost, (3) 40 kg/ha urea + 3 Mg/ha vermicompost, (4) 30 kg/ha urea + 6 Mg/ha vermicompost, (5) 20 kg/ha urea + 9 Mg/ha vermicompost, (6) 10 kg/ha urea + 12 Mg/ha vermicompost, and (7) 0 kg/ha urea + 15 Mg/ha vermicompost.  Results indicated that the combination of urea and vermicompost increased plant height, leaf number, branch number, number of nodules/plant, shoot to root ratio, number of pods/plant, number of pods/plot, grain dry weight/plant, grain dry weight/plot, and total yield /ha, but not days to flowering and weight of 100 grains. The best combination to increased growth and yields of mung bean was 12 Mg/ha of vermicompost in combination with 10 kg/ha of urea.  This combination  produced the highest grain yields/ha (2.1 Mg/ha).

Geographical and economic influences on neuroimaging modality choice
Authors: Duncan Niall W , Rae Charlotte
Published: July 2023

The current neuroimaging literature is unrepresentative of the world's population due to bias towards particular types of people living in a subset of geographical locations. This is true of both the people running the research and those participating in it. These biases mean we may be missing insights into how the brain works. As neuroimaging research expands out to more of the world, the reality of global economic disparities become salient. With economic conditions having an effect on many background conditions for research, we can ask whether they also influence the neuroimaging research being done. To investigate this, the number of neuroimaging publications originating from a country was used as a proxy for the type of research being done there in terms of imaging modalities employed. This was then related to local economic conditions, as represented by national gross domestic product and research and development spending. National financial metrics were positively associated with neuroimaging output. The imaging modalities used were also found to be associated with local economic conditions, with MRI research positively and EEG negatively associated with national research spending. These results suggest that economic conditions may be relevant when planning how neuroimaging research can be expanded globally.

Integration of rational functions generally requires the function to be first decomposed into partial fractions. In this paper, we derive a general formula to directly evaluate the integral of a rational function with only simple real poles. This can also be represented as an algorithm and applied in computer algebra systems to increase the efficiency of antiderivative computations.
Negative sums of positive numbers, about Grandi’s series and a certain recurrence of prime numbers

Published: July 2023

In the scientific literature and in the Internet, we can find a rather breakneck solution to this problem, but the thing is very simple. I agree that the results contained in the article are weird to say the least. But they have long been used in quantum physics. They were also known to Euler. My approach is just different. Additionally, new to my article are infinite sums of even (-2/12) and odd (+1/12) numbers. Summing up these two numbers, we get the value of the infinite sum of natural numbers, known from the scientific literature, equal to (-1/12).

علاقة اللغة العربية ومكانتها بالعلوم الشرعية
Authors: Kusumah Mada Wijaya , Haroun Hajir Khamis , Tsani Abdul Basid Imam
Published: July 2023

هناك علاقة قوية بين اللغة العربية والعلوم الشريعة؛ لأن القرآن الكريم نزل بلغة العرب، بل هناك أمور أخرى عديدة، منها أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان أفصح من نطق بالضاد، وأن اللسان العربي شعار الإسلام، وعلم اللغة مرقاة إلى جميع العلوم، وأن اللغة العربية ضرورة لفهم مراد الله وسنة نبيه، قال ابن تيمية: "اللغة العربية من الدين، ومعرفتها فرضٌ وجبٌ، فإن فهمَ كتاب الله والسنة فرضٌ، ولا يفهم إلا بفهم اللغة العربية، وما لا يتم الواجب إلا به فهو واجب. وهذه الدراسة تهدف إلى ربط الدراسة اللغوية بالدرسة الشريعة؛ حيث إن اللغة العربية تعتبر من الأدوات الرئيسة في فهم نصوص وأحكام الشريعة، ولأن القرآن الكريم هو المصدر الأول الذي تفرعت منه العلومُ الشرعية من تفسير وفقه وقراءات وأصول، وتكمن أهمية هذا المقال إلى إبراز بدايات تأسيس علوم اللغة العربية من نحو وبلاغة وصرف، فقد حرص علماء السلف على دراسة اللغة العربية باعتبارها اللغة الصحيحة الفصيحة التي تتضمن عقائد وأحكام القرآن الكريم، الأمر الذي جعل علم العربية جزءًا من العلم الشرعي. وتنتهج الدراسة المنهج الوصفي بغية الوصول إلى أهم نتائج البحث وهي أن علوم اللغة العربية جزء لا يتجزأ من علوم الشرعية وفي هذا الصدد يقال لعلم العربية هو الدين بنفسه .
Differential effects of climate change on average and peak demand for heating and cooling across the contiguous United States
Authors: Amonkar Yash , Doss-Gollin James , Farnham David , Lall Upmanu , Modi Vijay
Published: July 2023

While most electricity systems are designed to handle peak demand during summer months, pathways to deep decarbonization generally electrify building heating, thus increasing electricity demand during winter. A key question is how climate variability and change will affect peak heating and cooling demand in an electrified future. We conduct a spatially explicit analysis of trends in temperature-based proxies of electricity demand over the past 70 years. Average annual demand for heating (cooling) decreases (increases) over most of the contiguous US. However, while climate change drives robust increases in peak cooling demand, trends in peak heating demand are generally smaller and less robust. Because the distribution of temperature exhibits a long left tail, severe cold snaps dominate the extremes of thermal demand. As building heating electrifies, system operators must account for these events to ensure reliability.

In this article, I discuss recent media attention paid to consciousness research through coverage of the “25 years of consciousness” event at the 2023 Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness annual meeting, including:NatureScienceThe EconomistThe New York TimesScientific AmericanScienceAlertTheDebriefNewScientistNautilusI present critical additional context to these pieces, including how they should be considered in the broader field of consciousness studies, and how the field is perceived by funders and the general public. My two primary arguments are that the field is richer and more complex than some recent media portrays, and that skepticism about the rigor of the field – fueled in part by oversimplification in some media reports – places great pressure on trainees’ professional prospects. I feel it is critical to expand on current reporting with additional nuances that I can share from my own involvement in the field, in order to avoid public misperception of the results discussed at this event.
Interaction between Attentional Capture and Executive Control in Conflict Processing
Authors: Fu Di , Liu Xun
Published: July 2023

Abstract: Selective attention helps humans optimize behaviors to achieve expected goals thorough filtering goal-irrelevant information and retaining relevant information. Selective attention plays an important role in cognitive control and conflict processing by suppressing irrelevant stimuli and focusing limited attentional resources on processing task-related stimuli. However, the mechanism of attentional control in the processing of salient task-irrelevant stimuli during the conflict task has not been uniformly concluded. The mechanism underlying how the orienting network modulates the executive network has remained unclear. Based on these scientific questions, this study aims to develop a novel behavioral paradigm to elucidate the interaction of attentional orienting network and executive control network in conflict resolution. Our results from the Singleton Stroop task and the Singleton Flanker task were consistent that salient stimuli could capture attention automatically due to their strong physical salience. When the salient stimulus was spatially located at the same location as the target stimulus, subsequent conflict processing was facilitated. When the salient stimulus was spatially located at a distance from the target stimulus, attention was required to dissociate from the salient stimulus and shift to the target stimulus, thereby inhibiting subsequent conflict processing. In summary, this study developed a novel paradigm based on classical paradigms to explore the interaction between attentional capture and executive control in conflict processing. Our findings are beneficial for enriching the theoretical framework of selective attention and cognitive control and promoting the generality and application of the research conclusions.

Authors: Meule Adrian
Published: July 2023

This is a commentary on an article by Xian and colleagues (2023), in which I basically argue that it is impossible that the frequency of eating breakfast in the past week could somehow affect sleep quality in the past month, which is what the authors clearly state in their article. The commentary was rejected by the journal Nutrients with the following evaluation by the editor: "It is my assessment that your critique points out limitations that are already discussed by the authors. The study design was cross-sectional and cannot assess causal relationships. Furthermore, you provide critique of perfectly acceptable and validated measures with a reiteration of the inability to prove causal associations based on timeframe. Thus, I don't find your commentary compelling enough to offer new information beyond the limitations already mentioned by the authors of the paper." Oh well...
Reexamining Target-Probe Invariance: A Reply to Kellen and Singmann (2022)
Authors: Meyer-Grant Constantin Gregor , Klauer Karl Christoph
Published: July 2023

In a recent study (Meyer-Grant & Klauer, 2022, Memory & Cognition, advance online publication), we reported results from a recognition memory experiment using a detection plus identification paradigm in which two items are simultaneously presented during each test trial. One of the key observations was an impairment of identification performance when new items instead of old items were defined as targets to be detected and identified. We have argued that this challenges the notion that the subjective mnemonic information underlying recognition decisions does not change depending on the status of the target being probed (i.e., on whether old or new items are considered targets), which is also known as the target-probe invariance assumption. As a side-effect of this finding, a critical test of ROC asymmetry conducted by Kellen et al. (2021, Psychological Review, 128[6], 1022--1050) is questioned inasmuch as a violation of target-probe invariance provides an alternative interpretation of effects observed with this test. In response to this, Kellen and Singmann (2022, unpublished manuscript) suggest an alternative explanation of our findings in terms of an occasional guessing process. If true, this would allow one to retain the target-probe invariance assumption and in consequence, Kellen et al.'s interpretation of their results as evidence in favor of ROC asymmetry. Kellen and Singmann also review other pieces of evidence for ROC asymmetry in the context of recognition memory. Here, we discuss limitations of these pieces of evidence, highlighting the need for additional evidence such as provided by Kellen et al.'s critical test. We also point out that merely proposing an alternative explanation is not yet sufficient to invalidate our concerns about this critical test. To enable a more conclusive resolution of this issue, we conducted further analyses of our previously published data and a new experiment. Overall, the results indicate that identification responses in our original study may indeed have been contaminated by occasional guessing, thus rehabilitating the target-probe invariance assumption as well as Kellen et al.'s critical test of ROC asymmetry.

Patient satisfaction is a well-established indicator of quality of medical care and an important tool for improving standards of health care. This study aimed to find the mean patient satisfaction with perioperative anaesthesia care they received. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) of a tertiary care centre from January 2022 to July 2022 after ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference No.: 045-078/079). All the patients who underwent emergency and elective surgery under central neuraxial blockade, peripheral nerve blockade or general anesthesia with intubation were assessed using a 10-item predesigned questionnaire. A total of 330 patients completed the questionnaire. In our patients the interpersonal and emotional aspects related to patient satisfaction was similar with all the three types of anesthesia. But patients who received general anesthesia were less satisfied with postoperative pain and postoperative nausea vomiting management. We found that our patients were satisfied with the perioperative care in terms of interpersonal and emotional aspects. The patients who underwent surgery under general anesthesia were less satisfied in terms of physical aspects such as pain and nausea vomiting as compared to patients who underwent surgery under regional anesthesia.

Estimation of serum aminotransferase levels play important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of hepatic diseases. Studies suggest that in patients with chronic kidney disease, especially in those under hemodialysis, the reference ranges of the serum aminotransferases might not be reflective of hepatic function. Due to this, diagnosis and management of liver diseases in such patients becomes quite challenging. This study aims to estimate and compare serum aminotransferases levels of hemodialysis patients and healthy controls. Seventy-five patients undergoing hemodialysis in Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital for at least three months were included in the study as cases and apparently healthy individuals with no active illness and regular medication use for the past three months and were recruited as controls. Predialysis blood samples were drawn and were analyzed for serum aminotransferases and other blood parameters. The median serum AST and ALT values for hemodialysis patients were 15 U/L and 21 U/L, while for the healthy controls, it was 30 U/L and 36 U/L and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Among the hemodialysis patients, serum AST was positively correlated with eGFR (ρ = 0.247, p = 0.033) and negatively correlated with serum creatinine levels (ρ = -0.307, p = 0.007). Hence, serum aminotransferases levels were found to be low in patients with impaired kidney function compared to those with normal kidney function.

Distributed Deniel of Service (DDoS) merupakan salah satu serangan yang paling populer saat ini. DDoS adalah yang bertujuan untuk menyebabkan crash pada sistem server dengan cara membanjiri paket ataupun permintaan pada jaringan. Karakteristik serangan lowrate Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) sulit di bedakan dari arus lalu lintas jaringan normal, sehingga untuk mengidentifikasi serangan ini diperlukan sistem yang dapat mengklasifikasi serangan lowrate DDoS. Pada penelitian ini telah dilakukan identifikasi serangan lowrate DDoS dengan menggunakan metode AdaBoost. Dataset yang digunakan merupakan data MachineLearningCSV yaitu bagian dari kumpulan data CICIDS-2017 yang berasal dari Konsorsium ISCX. MachineLeaningCSV terdiri dari delapan (8) sesi pemantauan traffic. Data tersebut akan di preprocessing guna mengubah data menjadi array dan dilakukan seleksi atribut yang paling relevan untuk mempermudah kinerja metode AdaBoost dalam melakukan klasifikasi. Setelah melakukan pengujian terhadap penlitian terhadap deteksi DdoS dengan menggunakan algoritma AdaBoost, akurasi yang dihasilkan dengan tingkat akurasi hingga 99.2%.
Razlozi za žaljenje

U članku raspravljam o zamisli, koju je sugerirao Bernard Williams, da se žaljenje zbog vlastite prošle radnje tiče našega identiteta i karaktera kao djelatnikâ. Suprotno Williamsu, tvrdim da konstitutivna misao takve vrste žaljenja nije “da su stvari barem bile drukčije”, nego “da sam barem učinio drukčije”, te da ta misao vrijedi za sve slučajeve žaljenja zbog vlastite prošle radnje, uključujući i slučajeve praktičnoga sukoba i akcidentalnoga djelovanja. Sukladno tomu, onaj tko osjeća takvu vrstu žaljenja prisvaja ono što je učinio kao vlastitu radnju i preuzima neku vrstu odgovornosti za nju, bez obzira na to je li riječ o pravom ili akcidentalnom djelovanju.

Objetivo. Establecer la asociación entre obesidad pregestacional y el riesgo de alteraciones del parto. Diseño. Estudio de cohortes retrospectivo. Institución. Hospital Central “Dr. Urquinaona”, Maracaibo, Venezuela. Métodos. Resultante obstétrica de pacientes según índice de masa pregestacional -obesidad (grupo A), sobrepeso (grupo B) y peso normal (grupo C)- atendidas entre enero y diciembre de 2021.  Principales medidas de estudio. Duración del embarazo y duración, tipo y alteraciones del parto. Resultados. Se atendió 2,250 partos durante el periodo de estudio, de los cuales se seleccionó 226 gestantes para el análisis. La mayoría de gestantes (60,5%) fueron asignadas al grupo A, 47 (20,8%) al grupo B y 41 (17,5%) al grupo C. Las gestantes del grupo A presentaron una mayor probabilidad de cesárea (razón de probabilidad (RP) 1,76; intervalo de confianza del 95% (IC95%), 1,03 a 2,98), de parto prolongado (RP 2,09; IC95%, 1,23 a 3,53) y de embarazo prolongado (RP 2,30; IC95%, 1,32 a 4,01) comparadas con las embarazadas del grupo C. Las gestantes del grupo B no mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la frecuencia de las variables obstétricas comparado con las gestantes del grupo C (p = ns). Conclusión. Existió asociación significativa entre la obesidad pregestacional y el riesgo de alteraciones del parto.

El embarazo ectópico representa 1,5% a 2% de todos los embarazos y es causa común de mortalidad relacionada con el embarazo durante el primer trimestre. La ubicación más común es la trompa de Falopio y menos del 2% son embarazos abdominales. El embarazo ectópico retroperitoneal es un tipo de extremadamente raro con una patogénesis bastante compleja. Esta ubicación inusual tiene un alto riesgo de complicaciones potencialmente mortales. El diagnóstico temprano es difícil por la incapacidad de diferenciar signos, síntomas, concentraciones de gonadotropina coriónica e imágenes con embarazos ectópicos de las ubicaciones inusuales, como el retroperitoneo. Además, es necesario tener cuidado con el diagnostico de estos casos cuando los sitios más comunes de aparición no presentan alteraciones. El tratamiento es la extracción de tejido trofoblástico por laparotomía o laparoscopia. Se presenta un caso de embarazo ectópico retroperitoneal primario.
Leiomioma ovárico primario

Published: July 2023

El leiomioma es un tumor mesenquimal benigno común que puede desarrollarse allí donde haya músculo liso; raro como tumor ovárico primario, su origen aún es controversial. El leiomioma ovárico primario es uno de los tumores benignos más raros del ovario, representa 0,5% a 1% de los tumores benignos y suele observase en mujeres entre 20 y 65 años. Generalmente, son asintomáticos y se les encuentra de forma incidental durante el examen pélvico o la cirugía por otra causa, pero en ocasiones puede manifestarse por dolor abdominal y masa palpable. El diagnóstico definitivo es difícil antes de la extirpación quirúrgica. Debido a que no existen síntomas patognomónicos ni tiene imágenes características, los principales diagnósticos diferenciales incluyen fibroma, tecoma, tumor estromal esclerosante y leiomiosarcoma. La tinción inmunohistoquímica es fundamental para el diagnóstico preciso y debe considerarse en el diagnóstico diferencial de los tumores ováricos de células fusiformes. Se presenta un caso de leiomioma ovárico primario.
