INTRODUCTION: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in cardiac arrest (CA) that is refractory to conventional resuscitation measures has made it possible to extend the time for decision-making about further treatment for patients who were previously considered hopeless. OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to experimentally evaluate the efficacy of the ECMO technique for returned of spontaneous blood circulation (ROSC) in biological specimens with traumatic (TCA) and non-traumatic (NTCA) CA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The experiment involved 12 pigs, with an average weight of 54.0 (50.3–58.8) kg. After appropriate preparation and connection of the ECMO circuit, CA model was created. The NTCA group used an asphyxic CA, while the TCA group used a combination of 50 % controlled blood loss and vessel damage. Upon CA, mechanical chest compression was started for 10 minutes, and the heart rhythm was evaluated. If there were no spontaneous contractions, ECMO was initiated. In the TCA group, surgical hemostasis was performed after the onset of ECMO. In cases of ventricular fibrillation after ECMO started external defibrillation was done. If resuscitation were unsuccessful, even with ECMO started, biological death was declared. With the sustained ROSC, ECMO was discontinued and continued observation until the end of the experiment for at least 6 hours. RESULTS: ECMO promoted ROSC in all animals. However, only 2/12 animals achieve ROSC due to ECMO; while the rest require additional defibrillation to restore their blood circulation. The survival rate of animals in the NTCA group was 5/6, while in the TCA group it was 2/6 (p = 0.098). Complications were more common among animals with TCA, including abdominal compartment syndrome and pulmonary edema. CONCLUSIONS: The use of ECMO allows to achieve ROSC in all animals, regardless of the type of CA. Although the survival rate for animals with NTCA was higher than for those with TCA.
Comparison of three- and six-component scoring models for predicting the futility in cancer resuscitation: a retrospective study
Authors: Pramono A. , Maryani N.
Published: January 2025

INTRODUCTION: Palliative care is an approach to managing patients with critical illnesses who require the support of organ function from failure, in addition to those with chronic and terminal diseases including cancer that cannot be cured until rehabilitation. The decision to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a cancer patient is an ethically complex issue. The futile for CPR (FORREST) score is a score to assess whether cancer patients who experience cardiac arrest will enhance or still die after being given resuscitation. OBJECTIVE: This study compares the accuracy of the three- and six-variable FORREST scoring models. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective quantitative study employs secondary data from living and deceased cancer patients through secondary data from hospital patients’ medical records. The number of subjects collected in the study was 177 people with eight risk factor variables for death or predictions of the futility of performing CPR. Data for each subject variable were entered into three- and six-variable FORREST scores. The three-variable FORREST scoring model comprises anemia, lung disorder, and vasoactive administration before cardiac arrest, and the six-variable FORREST scoring model involves hypoalbuminemia with a value of 2, thrombocytopenia, bicarbonate (HCO3) level of < 20 meq/L, patient static, lung disorders, and use of a mechanical ventilator, each with a value of 1. Using the receiver operating characteristic curve diagnostic test with SPSS ver. 26 software, the accuracy of both scoring models was then determined. RESULTS: Research showsthat between the two models, no significant difference (p = 0.256). We can utilize both models to determine if cardiopulmonary resuscitation is futile, but the model of using three variabphentles is more straightforward. CONCLUSIONS: The accuracy of the FORREST three variables is the same as the six-variable FORREST score for predicting futile actions in cancer patients undergoing resuscitation.
Exciton dissociation in organic solar cells: An embedded charge transfer state model
Authors: Khabthani Jouda Jemaa , Chika Khouloud , Perrin Alexandre , Mayou Didier
Published: January 2025

Organic solar cells are a promising avenue for renewable energy, and our study introduces a comprehensive model to investigate exciton dissociation processes at the donor-acceptor interface. Examining quantum efficiency and emitted phonons in the charge transfer state (CTS), we explore scenarios like variations of the environment beyond the CTS and repulsive/attractive potentials. The donor-acceptor interface significantly influences the injection process, with minimal impact from the environment beyond the CTS. Attractive potentials can create localized electron states at the interface, below the acceptor band, without necessarily hampering a good injection at higher energies. Exploring different recombination processes, including acceptor-side and donor-side recombination, presents distinct phases for the injection process versus the initial energy of the electron and the recombination rate. Our study highlights the important role of the type of recombination in determining the quantum efficiency and the existence of hot or cold charge transfer states. Finally, depending on the initial energy of the electron on the donor side, three distinct injection regimes are exhibited. The present model should be helpful for optimizing organic photovoltaic cell interfaces, highlighting the critical parameter interplay for enhanced performance.
“Leer es tu parche”: una experiencia de promoción de la lectura literaria en la escuela
Authors: Gómez Rodríguez Jhonatan Fabián
Published: January 2025

El reto de incentivar la lectura literaria en las escuelas en todos sus niveles es una meta permanente que se trazan cada año los maestros de Lenguaje. El volver a revisar y repensar el plan lector es una tarea impajaritable, dado que la pregunta ya no recae solo en qué leer, sino bajo qué propósitos hacerlo. El objetivo de este artículo reflexivo es exponer el proyecto “Leer es tu parche”, un programa institucional con el que se ha intentado no solo hacer promoción de lectura literaria dentro y fuera de la escuela, sino también proponer otros acercamientos a la experiencia lectora. El proyecto está sustentado bajo el paradigma sociocrítico (Alvarado y García, 2008), con un enfoque de investigación cualitativo (Vasilachis, 2006) y una estrategia metodológica de investigación-acción (Elliot, 2000). Este trabajo ha llevado a generar una resignificación de las prácticas de la lectura; a que los estudiantes hagan “cosas con palabras”, pero también con el cuerpo, a través del teatro experimental, a partir de la lectura de textos literarios. Finalmente, el programa logró hacer un encuentro personal entre los alumnos y el escritor antioqueño Gilmer Mesa, autor de las novelas La Cuadra (2016), Las travesías (2021) y Aranjuez (2023).

Published: January 2025

Enfermidades infectocontagiosas como Toxoplasmose, Linfadenite Caseosa e Maedi-visna podem causar coinfecções agravando a saúde do animal. A toxoplasmose é uma zoonose que causa perdas reprodutivas na ovinocultura. A linfadenite caseosa é uma enfermidades, que se apresenta da forma crônica e debilitante. A maedi-visna é uma infecção multissistêmica com evolução crônica e sinais inaparentes. Pela importância destas doenças e suas possíveis coinfecções nos ovinos, objetivou-se pesquisar os agentes infecciosos causadores das enfermidades em ovinos no município de Limoeiro do Norte- CE. Foram coletadas 402 amostras de ovinos sem raça definida pertencentes a 20 propriedades onde eram criados de forma extensiva, de idade e sexo diferentes. Para diagnóstico das enfermidades, Linfadenite Caseosa e Toxoplasmose foi utilizado o ensaio imunoenzimático ELISA e para Maedi-visna a técnica de imunodifusão em gel de ágar (IDGA). Conclui-se que a Linfadenite Caseosa está presente na região com maior prevalência nas Matrizes 42,53% (94/221), também foram encontrados ovinos positivos para Toxoplasmose 14,09% (34/228), porém sem diferença estatística significativa para as variáveis, enquanto os soros analisados para Maedi-visna foram negativos. E em relação às coinfeccões a categoria dos reprodutores foram os mais afetados com 19,04% (4/21).

Comparativo das características das carnes de frango caipira e industrial da região oeste do Rio Grande do Norte
Authors:   , Silva Débora Cristina Fernandes da
Published: January 2025

O objetivo desse trabalho foi fazer uma avaliação comparativa das
características físico-químicas, microbiológicas e sensoriais de carnes de frango oriundos de
sistemas caipira e industrial adquiridas no comércio. Foram realizadas análises de composição
química, cor, pH, força de cisalhamento e análise sensorial. A cromaticidade revelou maior
intensidade de amarelo para a carne de frango tipo caipira (b=11,56), constatando-se menor
pH, correlação negativa com a luminosidade, apresentando essa carne menor maciez com
valor médio de 2,95kgf/cm2 (p<0,05), associado ao enrijecimento muscular ou alteração na
textura em relação a carne de frango tipo industrial, o que pode ser indicativo de estresse préabate,
um efeito da atividade física da criação semi-confinada (ou caipira), além das
diferenças genéticas entre o metabolismo energético muscular das aves. Diferenças
estatísticas foram observadas em relação ao teor de proteína para coxa (15,7% e 18%),
lipídeos para coxa (3,4% e 2,2%) e sobrecoxa (5,0% e 3,0%) para os frangos industrial e
caipira, respectivamente, possivelmente devido à características genéticas e nutricionais do
sistema de criação. A análise microbiológica mostrou padrão satisfatório para Coliformes
fecais para todas as amostras, segundo a legislação brasileira vigente, com valores médios de
2,45 log NMPg-1 para industrial e 2,75 log NMPg-1 para frango caipira . A análise de
Salmonella spp. foi prevalente nas carcaças caipiras (50%) comparado às industriais (25%),
possivelmente devido à manipulação e higienização pré-abate. Desta maneira, todos os
atributos sensoriais (odor, sabor, textura, suculência e impressão geral) foram avaliadas pelos
provadores como ligeiramente piores para as amostras de frangos tipo caipira e industrial.

Examining Health Care Provider Experiences With Patient Portal Implementation: Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Taneja Shipra , Kalia Kamini , Tang Terence , Wodchis Walter P , Vanderhout Shelley
Published: January 2025

Background

Health systems are increasingly offering patient portals as tools for patients to access their health information with the goal of improving engagement in care. However, understanding health care providers’ perspectives on patient portal implementation is crucial.

Objective

This study aimed to understand health care providers’ experiences of implementing the MyChart patient portal, perspectives about its impact on patient care, clinical practice, and workload, and opportunities for improvement.

Methods

Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods approach, we conducted a web-based questionnaire and semistructured individual interviews with health care providers at a large Canadian community hospital, 6 months after MyChart was first offered to patients. We explored perspectives about the impact of MyChart on clinical practice, workload, and patient care. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.

Results

In total, 261 health care providers completed the web-based questionnaire, and 15 also participated in interviews. Participants agreed that patients should have access to their health information through MyChart and identified its benefits such as patients gaining a greater understanding of their own health, which could improve patient safety (160/255, 62%). While many health care providers agreed that MyChart supported better patient care (108/258, 42%), there was limited understanding of features available to patients and expectations for integrating MyChart into clinical routines. Concerns were raised about the potential negative impacts of MyChart on patient-provider relationships because sensitive notes or results could be inappropriately interpreted (109/251, 43%), and a potential increase in workload if additional portal features were introduced. Suggested opportunities for improvement included support for both patients and health care providers to learn about MyChart and establishing guidelines for health care providers on how to communicate information available in MyChart to patients.

Conclusions

While health care providers acknowledged that MyChart improved patients’ access to health information, its implementation introduced some friction and concerns. To reduce the risk of these challenges, health systems can benefit from engaging health care providers early to identify effective patient portal implementation strategies.

Authors: Naibaho Frainskoy Rio , Hutagalung Bambang TJ , Anakampun Risden
Published: January 2025

This research aims to determine the strategy for recruiting new students at IAKN Tarutung. Currently, competition between state and private universities in accepting new students is increasingly competitive. This is proven by the decreasing trend of prospective students registering at IAKN Tarutung, especially in the Cultural and Religious Tourism study program (as the research sample). Based on data from active students in The Cultural and Religious Tourism Study Program, the K-Means algorithm can be implemented to assist decision-making in determining effective promotional targets for the following year. The results of the research show that data processing for students from the classes of 2021, 2022, and 2023 shows different trends based on Criterion 1 (high school or equivalent vocational school graduates), Criterion 2 (student achievement at their school of origin), and Criterion 3 (community economic ability). Based on data from Criterion 1, criterion 2, and criterion 3, it is stated that promotional strategies must continue to be carried out in all high schools or equivalent vocational schools (public and private) and provide scholarships for prospective Cultural and Religious Tourism study program who are outstanding or economically disadvantaged.
How HEXAD Types Influence Systemic and Finer-Grained Experiences in Gameful Educational Media: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Sugiarto Sugiarto , Atmaja Pratama Wirya , Mandyartha Eka Prakarsa
Published: January 2025

Education in the 21st century demands technology support, in which gameful media, such as educational games, can provide. Providing this support also requires the media to accommodate the different needs of the players, which can be identified by classifying the players’ type using HEXAD typology. However, the effect of HEXAD type classification on players’ experience in gameful media is still vague. This study aims to adress this vagueness by exploring the implementation of HEXAD in a more systemic and fine-grained manner using a playtest of an educational role-playing game. We measured the playtesters’ gameplay and learning experiences (n = 60) through a questionnaire developed based on HEXAD scale, GUESS, and EGameFlow. We also measured the correlation between the playtesters’ HEXAD types and their gameplay and learning experiences. Our analysis of the correlations uncovers exciting findings, including that the “achiever” type strongly appreciates playability features and that playability is among the essential gameplay factors for HEXAD types. We also propose design principles that can guide future research and development of the media.
Shining Shrines: the Handicrafts of the Mass Peasant Icon and Its Affordances in the 19th — 20th cc.
Authors: Doronin D. Yu.
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the material aspects of the history of the craft of mass peasant icons and Soviet folezh icons in particular. In analyzing the transformations of various historical forms of the craft of mass peasant icons, the author uses the concept of affordance, that is, the possibility of the environment, a property of an object or the environment that allows it to be used in a certain way. The affordance of an icon craft is a factor that becomes a key opportunity for its birth, the development of its technological and market infrastructure, or subsequent important transformations. Such factors could be not only the inventions of key technologies and materials, but also important socio‑political events, for example, colonization and late Christianization of the region, the network of roads or the peculiarities of nature management. The mass peasant icon of each of the historical stages of the craft is formed by its affordances: natural, commercial, industrial, confessional, ethnic, etc. Through consideration of the affordances, one can understand the elements of the history and socio‑technological development of the phenomenon of the Soviet icon. The author of the article limits his analysis to several important subjects on the example of Vladimir‑Nizhny Novgorod region: (a) natural affordances of the beginning of the icon craft, (b) the affordances of the period of its intensive spread during the Russian colonization of new lands (infrastructural, ethno‑confessional affordances) and (c) some material and technological affordances of the late stage of the development of the icon craft, including the Soviet era. From the previous forms of icon craft, the masters of the Soviet icon borrowed the simplest technologies and cheap consumables, which were partially re‑invented. Cheapness, simplicity, and mass production were also significant in the craft of the Soviet icon. In this regard, it is one of the common forms of icons. Besides, the Soviet icon was created in completely different, unique and extraordinary conditions: the pragmatics of its craft was not related to extracting benefits from mass production, “conveyor belt” or speed of production, it consisted in filling the shortage of ritual artifacts.
Patriotism as Worldly Asceticism: The Role of Sports and Martial Arts in the Activities of Orthodoxy-Based Groups
Authors: Ryazanova S. V. , Mitrofanova A. V.
Published: January 2025

The authors focus on how faith‑based groups, either affiliated with the Church, or those whose connection to Orthodoxy may be uncertain, provide patriotic education primarily through paramilitary activities and instruction in martial arts (sports). The article seeks to answer the question: why faith‑based groups are increasingly interested in military‑ patriotic education and why this education is predominantly implemented through activities like sports and martial arts. The authors posit that patriotic activity serves not only as a means of obtaining financial support, but also as a way to legitimize the existence of groups that may be in conflict with the ecclesiastical hierarchy. Patriotic education also reflects faith‑based groups’ intention to return to the ritualistic origins of sport and other physical practices, presenting them as a form of worldly asceticism. The article is based on a close‑up study of the former Pokrov Fraternity (Perm), the Center “Spas” (Obninsk), and the all‑Russian movement “Sorok Sorokov”, not being limited to them.

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) Pada Mahasiswa Pengguna Media Sosial: Bagaimana Korelasi Dengan Kecerdasan Emosional?
Authors: Mardhiyah Zahrina , Maghfirah Anggia
Published: January 2025

Tingginya penggunaan media sosial pada mahasiswa cenderung menimbulkan dampak negatif pada kondisi psikologis individu. Salah satu adalah fear of missing out (FOMO), yaitu perasaan takut akan ketertinggalan informasi dan peristiwa yang mendorong terbentuknya perasaan dan perilaku negatif. Dibutuhkan faktor protektif agar tingkat fear of missing out (FOMO) tidak semakin tinggi, dan salah satunya adalah kecerdasan emosional. Walaupun demikian, belum terdapat studi korelasional antara kecerdasan emosional dengan fear of missing out (FOMO) di Indonesia. Maka dari itu, studi ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan antara kecerdasan emosional dengan fear of missing out (FOMO) pada mahasiswa pengguna media sosial, dengan pendekatan kuantitatif korelasional pada partisipan studi yang merupakan: (1) mahasiswa; (2) berusia 18-24 tahun; dan (3) menggunakan minimal satu media sosial. Sebanyak 220 partisipan studi diperoleh dengan convenience sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan Online Fear of Missing Out Inventory (ON-FOMO; 20 butir; α = 0,792) dan Alat Ukur Kecerdasan Emosional Tarumanagara (28 butir; α = 0,893). Data dianalisis dengan Pearson’s Product Moment, dan hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat korelasi negatif antara kecerdasan emosional dan fear of missing out (FOMO; rxy = - 0,480 > rtabel; p = 0,000 < 0,05), dengan kekuatan hubungan pada kategori Sedang. Hasil tersebut berarti semakin tinggi kecerdasan emosional, maka semakin rendah tingkat fear of missing out (FOMO), dan demikian pula sebaliknya. Selain itu, hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa kecerdasan emosional memengaruhi fear of missing out (FOMO) sebesar 23%, dengan sisa kontribusi 77% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain yang tidak dibahas dalam studi ini.

Didácticas docentes para el pensamiento crítico en ambientes virtuales
Authors: González-Rodríguez Guillermo Isaac , García-Híjar Maira Beatriz
Published: January 2025

This work aims to identify the elements of teacher didactics that generate critical thinking in virtual environments. A qualitative methodology is employed to explore how classroom didactics centered on dialogicity affect the transition from contemplative in-person education to a participatory virtual education that generates critical thinking and is co-responsible for the formative process. The mixed research communities in the methodology section allow us to draw correlations between the ways in which students and teachers are reflected in an informational, discursive, and formative space, which serves as a basis to describe the changes experienced in dialogic practices as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show a change in teacher didactics, opening up a gap that affects spaces for dialogue in class.

Analysing Contemporary Challenges, Pitfalls and Prospects of Intra-African Investment
Authors: Mhlongo Lindelwa Beaulender
Published: January 2025

Most African states have regained their independence from the colonial powers. Furthermore, Africa has made strides towards achieving sustainable economic development and relations. However, it has yet to benefit from international and intra-African investment agreements. African states are still developing, even though they all develop at different speeds. In this respect, African countries have been endeavouring to regain control of their natural resources and economic space from transnational interests. The question that begs for an answer is: What stands in Africa’s way of achieving sustainable economic development and relations? The article interrogates the challenges, pitfalls and prospects of intra-African investment concerning achieving economic freedom and sustainable relations. In the same breath, it provides suggestions on how to overcome these challenges. In this regard, the article will suggest ways to strengthen the sustainability dimension of international investment agreements, how to preserve appropriate regulatory space for host countries, how to deal with the complexity of a fragmented treaty regime characterised by overlaps and incoherence, and how to infuse the unique challenges Africa faces.
“Life and Times of a Black Immigrant”: Precarious Refugee-ness and Human Rights in Simão Kikamba’s Going Home (2015)
Authors: Motahane Nonki
Published: January 2025

Most studies on intra-Africa migration to South Africa have focused more on the figure of the migrant. The exploration of the refugee and asylum-seeking persons remains understudied. This article seeks to explore the representation of precarious refugee existentiality and human rights in South Africa. By examining the interplay between refugee-ness, personal narrative and human rights advocacy, this article underscores the significance of refugee autobiography in the cultural landscape of South Africa. The article focuses on how Simão Kikamba’s Going Home (2015) is a narrative which serves as a powerful site for expressing challenging systemic injustices and advocating for social change. The analysis reveals how Going Home contributes to a broader human rights discourse, highlighting the ongoing challenges and aspirations in the journey towards a more just and equitable South African society.
Creation Stories of the 16th and 17th Centuries: Original Theories on the Peopling of the Philippines
Authors: Royeca Jon
Published: January 2025

How the first humans settled the archipelago now called the Philippines is contentious. Theories have been devised, but none can give a gratifying scholarship. The natives of the Philippines in the 16th and 17th centuries nurtured creation stories which narrated that their ancestors came from the archipelago itself. However, those stories are still disparaged today as primitive myths, despite that fact that those natives were no longer cave peoples. They already lived in tribal societies, were governed by kings, wore gold, produced wine, built ships, and traded with foreign merchants. By using classic Spanish chronicles about the Philippines and other library materials, this paper moves away from what has become cliché about those creation stories: that they are primitive myths. It also departs from the common perception that migrations in the distant past formed what are now the Filipino people. Altogether, this paper will not attempt to dislodge the existing theories on the peopling of the Philippines. It will rather add the creation stories as original theories.

“Taking the Road Less Travelled”: Exploring the Work and Family Demands of Women in the Trucking Industry
Authors: Manyeke Nati , Dhanpat Nelesh
Published: January 2025

Employee well-being is of primary concern for organisations. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been various research interests among organisational scholars on the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on employee well-being and their work experience during this time. In this study, we investigated the implications of work and family demands on the well-being of women in the South African transport and logistics industry towards the tail end of the pandemic. There is a need to understand the work and family demands that displace women in the trucking industry, more so to understand such practices towards the return to work and normality after the pandemic. Work and family demands are at the centre of employees’ lives, and women are faced with a dual role when compared to their male counterparts. We followed a qualitative research approach and sampled 12 women from a large transport and logistics organisation in South Africa using non-probability purposive sampling. The selected sample included participants from various job categories, at job levels ranging from unskilled workers to senior-management level. We employed thematic analysis to analyse the data. The research results indicate that work and family demands affect the physical and psychological well-being of women employees. The well-being of employees forms an integral part of organisations. The employment relations and human resources departments should therefore adopt a strategic approach to ensuring employees’ well-being is positioned at the top of their departmental list as a focus point of activities.

Authors: Rossouw Lizelle , Strydom Ané
Published: January 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic forced numerous changes in the world of work. The agricultural sector in South Africa was deemed an essential service during the national lockdown, and employees had to keep working. Keeping employees motivated during the COVID-19 pandemic was a challenge. The study aims to provide practical insights into employee motivation during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study’s general objective therefore was to explore employees’ perceptions of the work-related factors that motivated them in a South African agricultural organisation before and during COVID-19. The study employed a qualitative research method with an interpretivist paradigm and a qualitative descriptive strategy. The sample consisted of employees (N = 8) employed at an agricultural organisation. The data were collected through qualitative online surveys using the QuestionPro software, and content analysis was applied to analyse the data. The participants indicated that they were motivated by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations were made by the participants who pointed out that existing efforts by the organisation should be maintained during the pandemic to keep employees motivated.

Authors: Pereira Larissa Mirelle de Oliveira , Alves Ana Paula Rezende Martins , Silva Natália Souza , Cecílio Samyra Giarola , Silva Douglas Roberto Guimarães
Published: January 2025

Objetivo: Comparar os principais métodos diagnósticos utilizados, visando desconstruir o ideal histórico de que o diagnóstico é apenas a presença ou ausência de patologias. Revisão bibliográfica: A endometriose é um distúrbio caracterizado pela presença de tecido extrauterino, que cursa com uma série de manifestações clínicas, como dores abdominais, dispareunia (dor durante a relação sexual), sangramento e dor urinária e intestinal, náuseas, dores lombares e infertilidade. Os métodos diagnósticos são essenciais para confirmar a suspeita da doença e para a realização do estadiamento e os mais utilizados são a laparoscopia (padrão ouro), ultrassom pélvica e transvaginal e ressonância magnética. Porém, há uma grande dificuldade de se estabelecer um método diagnóstico ideal para essa condição. Considerações finais: Assim, é de suma importância realizar o diagnóstico de endometriose, porém dentre os principais métodos diagnósticos estudados, não há apenas um único de maior acurácia, mas sim múltiplas formas de diagnósticos que devem levar em consideração como os subtipos da endometriose, seu local e extensão, adaptando-se a realidade de cada uma paciente.
