Background

Surgery remains debatable in para-aortic lymph node (PALN, station 16b1) metastasis in non-pancreatic periampullary cancer (NPPAC). This study examined the impact of PALN metastasis on outcomes following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in NPPAC.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of patients with NPPAC who were explored for PD with PALN dissection was performed. Based on the extent of nodal involvement on final histopathology, they were stratified as node-negative (N0), regional node involved (N+) and metastatic PALN (N16+) and their outcomes were compared.

Results

Between 2011 and 2022, 153/887 PD patients underwent a PALN dissection, revealing N16+ in 42 patients (27.4%), of whom 32 patients underwent resection. The 3-years overall survival (OS) for patients with N16+ was 28% (95% confidence interval [CI] 13–60%), notably lower than the 67% (95% CI 53–83.5%; p = 0.007) for those without PALN metastasis. Stratified by nodal involvement, the median OS for N+ and N16+ patients was similar (28.4 months and 26.2 months, respectively). The N0 subgroup had a significantly longer 3-years OS of 87.5% (95% CI 79–96.7%; p = 0.0051). Interestingly, 10 patients not offered resection following N16+ identified on frozen section had a median survival of only 9 months. The perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing PD with PALN dissection were similar to standard resections.

Conclusion

In a select group of patients with NPPAC, PD in isolated PALN metastasis was associated with improved OS. The survival in this group of patients was comparable with regional node-positive patients and significantly better than palliative treatment alone.

Introducción. La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 es una enfermedad caracterizada por hiperglucemia crónica y de los 422 millones de personas que viven con diabetes en el mundo, más del 95% tiene diabetes tipo 2. Cuando no se controla apropiadamente hay complicaciones a corto y a largo plazo. Complementaria al tratamiento farmacológico, la práctica de estilos de vida saludables juega un papel fundamental en el manejo de la enfermedad. El obejtivo de este estudio fue determinar la relación entre el nivel de conocimientos y las prácticas de estilos de vida saludable en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 hospitalizados en el área de Medicina General de un hospital peruano.
Metodología. se realizó un estudio con diseño de corte transversal analítico, en 114 pacientes. El nivel de conocimientos y prácticas de estilo de vida se determinaron a través de cuestionarios autoaplicados. Para determinar la relación entre las dos variables categóricas, se aplicó la prueba de Chi-cuadrado y se consideró un valor de p<0,05 como indicativo de significancia.
Resultados. El 50% de participantes presentó un nivel de conocimiento regular, mientras que el otro 50% tuvo un nivel de conocimiento deficiente. Con respecto a las prácticas de estilos de vida, el 62,3 % presentó un estilo de vida poco favorable. Los análisis estadísticos nos indican que no hay asociación estadísticamente significativa (p=0,131) entre el nivel de conocimiento sobre la diabetes mellitus y la práctica de estilos de vida.
Conclusión. No se identificó una relación estadísticamente significativa entre el nivel de conocimiento sobre la enfermedad y prácticas de estilos de vida. Se sugieren futuros estudios para corroborar si estos resultados son similares en otros centros hospitalarios. El conocer la relación entre estas variables ayudaría a diseñar intervenciones oportunas y efectivas para estos pacientes.

Cambios en la presencia de edulcorantes no nutritivos en alimentos y bebidas dulces post implementación de la Ley de Promoción de la Alimentación Saludable en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina
Authors: Rodriguez Garcia Vanesa , Gómez Dieste Paula Virginia
Published: July 2024

Introducción. La Ley de Promoción de la Alimentación Saludable (PAS) establece que los alimentos y bebidas analcohólicas (AyB) con exceso de nutrientes críticos lleven sellos de advertencia y en caso de contener edulcorantes o cafeína presenten una leyenda precautoria en el envase. El objetivo fue evaluar los cambios en la presencia y tipos de edulcorantes no nutritivos en alimentos y bebidas dulces después de la implementación de la Ley PAS en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires.
Metodología. Se recolectaron datos sobre el contenido y tipo de edulcorantes no nutritivos (ENN) provenientes de los envases de los AyB dulces en las principales cadenas de supermercados de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires en 2018/2019 y en 2023. Se utilizaron diferentes test-no paramétricos para muestras relacionadas para comparar la frecuencia de AyB con ENN, la frecuencia por categoría de productos y cambios en la cantidad de tipos de ENN entre ambos períodos.
Resultados. Del total de AyB dulces relevados (n= 1823) se encontró un leve aumento, aunque no significativo, en la presencia de ENN pasando del 26,9% al 27,6% (p=0,059). El grupo de bebidas fue el único con un incremento significativo (p<0,001). Los aditivos más utilizados, en ambas mediciones, fueron el acesulfame K (19,6% vs. 21,0%, p=0,001), el aspartamo (14,4% vs. 14,8%, p=0,169) y la sucralosa (11,4% vs. 12,0%, p=0,184). De los 515 AyB con presencia de edulcorante, el 77,3% presentó la leyenda precautoria.
Conclusión. A un año de la aplicación de la normativa, el cambio en la cantidad de AyB con ENN no fue significativo, a excepción del grupo de bebidas. Resulta necesario monitorear la presencia de ENN en los AyB dulces para conocer como impactará la Ley en la reformulación de la matriz alimentaria en los próximos años.

Published: July 2024

Subepithelial gastric tumors are a diagnostic challenge. Endoscopic ultrasound allows differentiation. Lesions originating from the submucosal layer can be resected using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Surgery or endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) techniques are alternatives. We present a patient with an 11 × 8 mm submucosal tumor in the gastric antrum suggestive of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, originating from the muscularis propria. Eventually endoscopic resection was performed, combining ESD and EFTR (hybrid ESD-EFTR). Contrary to expectations, histology revealed a gastric schwannoma. This case illustrates an efficient and safe endoscopic hybrid technique for the removal of submucosal gastric lesions.

Published: July 2024

Many of atypical antipsychotic drugs are associated with adverse metabolic effects, including fatty infiltration of the liver. This study aimed at studying the histological evaluation of the role of atypical antipsychotic drugs (olanzapine and aripiprazole) in adult male albino rats. Sixty adult male albino rats were divided equally into three groups. Group I served as a control while groups II and III were treated with olanzapine and aripiprazole consecutively. Sections of the liver were examined by light and electron microscopy. A highly significant increase in the weight of rats in olanzapineand aripiprazole-treated groups in comparison to the control group was noticed. On the other hand, there was a highly significant increase in body weight of the olanzapine group in comparison to aripiprazole. Olanzapineand aripiprazole-treated rats showed highly significantly increased fatty infiltration of liver (steatosis) compared with the control group. However, the aripiprazole-treated group showed less steatosis compared with olanzapine. The mean non-alcoholic steatohepatitis scoring and fibrosis of the olanzapine group were highly significantly increased compared to the aripiprazole group. Ultrastructurally, liver from the olanzapine group showed large fat droplets in perinuclear region, between cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, and in the space of Disse. Large-sized mitochondria and myelin figures were seen. Although histopathological changes of the liver in the form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were more prominent in the olanzapine group, they were also evident in the aripiprazole group.

Published: July 2024

The present research investigates how incorporating waste concrete block aggregates (WCBA) in place of natural coarse (5–12 mm) aggregates (NCA) affect the characteristics of concrete pavement. The topography of the voids, water absorption, porosity, and hydraulic conductivity characteristics such as flexural and compressive strengths in addition to density were investigated. The consequences of replacement were looked at using four replacement percentages, 10, 30, 60, and 100% of the normal weight had been substituted with 0% functioning as the control value. Mix design of 1:1.41:2.52 (cement:fine aggregate:coarse aggregate) was used in the study with water to cement ratio of 0.43. As the replacement percentage of WCBA increased, water absorption, porosity, and hydraulic conductivity increased while density, compressive strength, and flexural strength decreased. The drop in values in comparison to control mixture were in the range of 10–30, 22–40, and 1–32% for density, compressive strength, and flexural strength, respectively. On the other hand, increase in values (16–33, 12–40, and 11–37%) have been identified for hydraulic conductivity, porosity, and water absorption, respectively. When designing rigid pavement, concrete with replacement percentages of WCBA 30% produces results that were acceptable. Porosity along with other hydraulic characteristics, such as hydraulic conductivity, are closely associated. There is an extremely significant correlation between porosity and all topological parameters. Finally, high level validation (R
2 > 0.9) and predictive models of hydraulic conductivity and porosity were established.
Enhancing the processing advantage: two psycholinguistic investigations of formulaic expressions in Chinese as a second language
Authors: Lu Xiaolong
Published: July 2024

The Holistic Hypothesis asserts that formulaic expressions (FEs) are processed more rapidly than non-formulaic expressions (non-FE items) by both native speakers (NSs) and L2 learners of English. This study utilized an acceptability judgment task and a self-paced reading task to investigate the online processing of FEs and non-FE items among bilingual speakers (L1 English, L2 Chinese) in both contextual and non-contextual conditions. Meanwhile, a familiarity rating task was employed to measure whether there is a familiarity effect in item processing. The results consistently provided support for the Holistic Hypothesis, indicating that learners of Chinese at each level exhibited faster processing of FEs compared to non-FE items, regardless of the presence or absence of context. However, the influence of item familiarity, rather than the proficiency effect, contributed to the improvement of L2 learners’ eventual processing abilities. Distinct patterns also emerged when comparing data from NSs and L2 learners of Chinese, highlighting L2 learners’ more pronounced processing advantage, characterized by faster response times (RTs) to FEs compared to non-FE items. Through an analysis of Chinese L2 data, this study sheds light on the interplay between the usage based approach and chunking within the cognitive approach to L2 learning.

Published: July 2024

Identifying success factors in football is of sporting and economic interest. However, research in this field for national teams and their competitions is rare despite the popularity of teams and events. Therefore, we analyze data for the UEFA EURO 2020 and, for comparison purposes, the previous tournament in 2016. To mitigate the challenges of perceived multicollinearity and a small sample size, and to identify the relevant variables, we apply the ‘LASSO Cross-fitted Stability-Selection’ algorithm. This approach involves iterative splitting of data, with variables chosen via a ‘least absolute shrinkage and selection operator’ (LASSO) model (Tibshirani, R. (1996). Regression shrinkage and selection via the lasso. J. Roy. Stat. Soc. B 58: 267–288) on one half of the observations, while coefficients are estimated on the other half. Subsequently, we inspect the frequency of selection and stability of coefficient estimation for each variable over the repeated samples to identify factors as relevant. By that, we are able to differentiate generally valid success factors such as the market value ratio from on-field variables whose importance is tournament-dependent, e.g. the tackles attempted. As the latter is connected to a team’s tactics, we conclude that their observed relevance is correlated to the results of the linked playing style in the specific tournaments. We also show the changing effect of these playing-styles on success across tournaments.

Published: July 2024

The aim of this study is to investigate the heat and mass transfer characteristics of Burgers nanofluid in the presence of thermo-diffusion effects. The analysis considers higher-order slip effects to study the transport phenomena. Additionally, the study examines the impact of thermal radiation and chemical reactions on the flow. Variable thermal conductivity assumptions are made for heat transfer analysis. The Cattaneo–Christov model, an extension of Fourier heat and mass theories, is employed for the analysis. Heat transfer evaluation is conducted using convective thermal constraints, and numerical computations are carried out using the Runge–Kutta method. The study visually represents the impact of flow parameters through graphical analysis. It is suggested that heat transfer can be significantly improved through the interaction of slip effects, and the concentration phenomenon is enhanced by the Soret number.

Published: July 2024

The effects of the antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and the metal chelator, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in combination with cedarwood oil (CWO) were investigated for wood preservation against subterranean termites as well as two species of white-rot decay fungi and two species of brown-rot decay fungi. Vacuum pressure impregnation was used to treat wood blocks. Resistance of the treated wood test blocks was evaluated using a no-choice bioassay for termites and a soil bottle assay wood decay fungi. Eight treatments were tested: H2O only; BHT only; EDTA only; BHT with EDTA; CWO only; CWO with EDTA; CWO with BHT; and CWO with BHT plus EDTA. For termites, the lowest percentage wood mass losses were for the EDTA, BHT, CWO, and CWO/EDTA treatments, all of which were statistically equivalent. Correspondingly, these treatments all had the highest termite mortalities at 100%. The four species of decay fungi were affected differently by the wood treatments; however, overall CWO and EDTA gave the best protection against wood mass loss. The addition of BHT did not decrease mass loss.

Authors: Wu Wei , Xu Wei , Wu Shuangshuang
Published: July 2024

T-shaped mortise and tenon members are the main structure of traditional Chinese furniture. In this paper, the double-dovetail joint used for face-to-face joint of rubber wood (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg) is transformed into a new type of double-dovetail joint and rounded double-dovetail joint for T-shaped members of point joint structure. The ultimate pull-out test and bending strength test were carried out on the two structures and three structures of oval mortise, round rod mortise and right angle mortise. The results show that the ultimate pull-out force of the round double-dovetail joint is 39% higher than that of the double-dovetail joint, and the bending resistance capacity is 8.9% higher, and the strength and stability are better than those of other split mortises and tenons, which proves that this structure can be used in actual production, and also proves that the mortise and tenon connected by the surface has the possibility of transforming into a point connection structure. The concave structure of the rounded double-dovetail joint makes the mortise and tenon fit well, the tenon squeezed tight, and a good bonding effect was achieved. This structure can also provide greater friction and resistance, delay rubber adhesive failure and improve the stability.

Published: July 2024

The escalating demand for polyurethane rigid foams (PURF) has resulted in a substantial increase in waste polyurethane products. In view of the difficulty in recycling waste PURF, this study introduces a novel mechanical recycling process that is cost-effective and features a straightforward fabrication process for producing PUW (waste PURF combined with wood veneers), which solves the problem of low strength products obtained from mechanical recycling of PU waste. Through investigation of the PURF (ground into particles before using) particle size, core layer density, the amount of resin and thickness, the optimal fabrication process was confirmed as follows: particles with the size of 1 to 3 mm as its core layer components, 0.9 g/cm3 as its core layer density, the addition of MDI to be 20 wt%, and 8 mm thickness of whole composite. The resulting PURF-based composite exhibited superior thermal insulation properties, mechanical strength, and sound insulation performance. The optimized PUW composite had a notably low thermal conductivity of 0.04126 W/(m·K), slightly higher than that of rock wool board (0.04 W/(m·K)). In terms of mechanical performance, the wet shear strength of the optimal PUW composite reached 0.61 MPa. Furthermore, the PUW composite exhibited relatively high sound insulation, particularly at high frequencies.
Shredded waste office paper as a component with wood particles in the production of particleboard
Authors: Konukcu Arif Caglar , Engin Merve
Published: July 2024

The effect of shredded waste office paper was considered when producing one-layered particleboard. Five different mixing ratios of shredded waste office paper/wood particles were used (0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25, and 100/0) and two amounts of urea formaldehyde (UF) resin (10% and 15%). The boards were tested for their physical and mechanical properties, including modulus of elasticity (MOE), bending strength (MOR), and internal bond (IB) strength, in accordance with the European Norm (EN) standards. All properties of the boards were found to be improved via increasing the resin content. The 15% UF-bonded board with 100% wood particles had the highest MOR, whereas the board containing 100% wastepaper for 15% UF had the highest MOE. However, there was no statistical difference between the board types. Although increasing wastepaper content in the board negatively affected the IB, the usage of wastepaper up to 25% was shown to be acceptable as a raw material in the production of particleboard. None of the prepared boards met the EN 312 (1999) requirements for thickness swelling. The boards made from shredded waste office paper were more suitable for dry and indoor use.
CAD/CAM: A New Revolution in Forensics
Authors: Ramesh Gayathri
Published: July 2024

All humans have an identity in life. The cornerstone of forensic science is the positive identification of a human using his unique traits and characteristics. One of the most challenging aspects in forensic dentistry is the recognition, recovery and analysis of evidences and its matching with the suspects. A calculated and objective comparison utilizing technology would strengthen the validity of evidences in forensic dentistry. The use of advanced computer aided technology like CAD/CAM, has shown, in recent years, that it is possible to match DNA, Blood group antigens and tooth impression from a chewing gum retrieved to undermine the credibility of proof in a crime. The computer system of CAD/CAM can be used to construct a 3D-image of an object that has been retrieved from the crime scene by scanning the object and store all the information and can be used to assess the finding. This avoids any errors made by manual techniques which may not be always accurate. This review on CAD/CAM is described in this article with emphasis on its application in Forensics.

School is a formal education that is used as a form of developing character values and norms that apply in society. The existence of a school does not rule out the possibility that students also have problems they have, one of which is school refusal. The causes of school refusal include avoiding school-related objects that cause stress, avoiding feelings of discomfort among peers, seeking attention outside of school, and pursuing pleasure outside of school. This study aims to determine the ef ective method in handling school refusal in children and adolescents. This study uses a literature review method with techniques for collecting information and data from various materials in libraries and other sources as a method of research. As many as 14 journals are used as a reference with the literature review method, it can be concluded that the results of this study indicate that there are factors from school refusal including anxiety, forms of protective parenting, dif iculties in following lessons at school, bad experience in school past. Therefore, based on the research results several methods that can be used to reduce school refusal include CBT counseling, REBT counseling, family-based therapy, cognitive restructuring techniques.

Rethinking Lono, Cook, and the Kumulipo
Authors: Ho'omanawanui ku'ualoha
Published: July 2024

Since Captain Cook’s demise at Kealakekua Bay, Hawai'i in 1779, his alleged deification by Hawaiians as their god Lono has been the subject of passionate debate. Despite decades of discussion, indigenous Hawaiian perspectives that prompt different theoretical questions have been ignored. In her translation of Kumulipo, a Hawaiian creation chant, Queen Lili'uokalani states that it was chanted for Cook as part of his deification ceremony. Yet there is no direct connection between Lono and Kumulipo, and while many chants honor Lono during Makahiki rituals, Kumulipo is not one of them. This essay utilizes Hawaiian resources in theorizing that Cook’s deification by the Mo'o Lono priests of Kealakekua was for their own political influence over the chiefs of that region, and they capitalized on Cook’s fortuitous arrival during Makahiki to affirm an ancient prophecy that an ancient chief Lono would return, which does not equate to Cook being accepted as a reincarnation of Lono by all Hawaiians, not even those of Kealakekua.

In the summer of 2022, a team of scholars, lawyers, and cultural experts convened to explore avenues for community-level implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in Hawai'i. The workshop was organized to solicit feedback on current issues in Hawai'i and to assess ways the community might gain leverage through the UNDRIP. Larger order questions were also addressed, including the political and cultural stakes of engaging such an instrument. Stepping back from participation in the project, I offer critical reflections on the contested ‘fit’ of the instrument in Hawai'i, paying specific attention to ‘religion’ and ‘indigenous’ categorically and with reference to ongoing struggles, including the dispute on Mauna Kea concerning the Thirty Meter Telescope. My analysis places particular emphasis on the shaping force of Indigenous religious traditions and legal mechanisms upon one another, a dynamic process that poses considerable theoretical and practical challenges.
Nawiązania do polskiego kryzysu demokracji w izraelskich mediach (wokół pytań o wspólne doświadczenia i wzajemne wyobrażenia)

W niniejszym artykule analizujemy przykłady odniesień do polskiego kryzysu demokracji, które pojawiają się w kontekście kryzysu demokracji w Izraelu w aktualnej izraelskiej debacie publicznej – w mediach publicystycznych i informacyjnych o profilu liberalnym, lewicowym, centrolewicowym, krytycznie nastawionym wobec planowanej przez koalicyjny rząd Benjamina Netanjahu reformy sądownictwa. Pierwsza część publikacji to analiza artykułów, w których Polska występuje przede wszystkim jako negatywny punkt odniesienia. W drugiej części wykazujemy ważną obecność polskich przedstawicieli świata nauki i publicystyki w izraelskiej debacie publicznej. W ostatnim podrozdziale przyglądamy się grupom protestującym w Polsce i Izraelu, zapytując o charakter niebezpośredniej więzi społecznej – dotyczącej różnych grup narodowych (Polaków i Izraelczyków), ale opartej o te same, demokratyczne wartości.
Prezydent i rząd w myśli politycznej Narodowej Demokracji (do 1939 roku)
Authors: Dawidowicz Aneta
Published: July 2024

Ustrój państwa narodowego stanowił jedno z kluczowych zagadnień podejmowanych w myśli politycznej Narodowej Demokracji. Problematyka ustrojowa w myśli politycznej ND była rozpatrywana w ścisłym związku z zagadnieniami o charakterze światopoglądowym. Podkreślano konieczność utworzenia „rządów silnych”, utożsamianych z rządami elity narodowej, złożonej z wartościowych pod względem narodowym, uświadomionych narodowo jednostek. Uważano, że władza prezydencka powinna spoczywać w rękach polityków obdarzonych wysokimi kwalifikacjami zarówno umysłowymi jak i etycznymi. W myśli politycznej ND obowiązywała koncepcja silnego rządu parlamentarnego wyłonionego przez większość polską. Krytycznie odnoszono się do koncepcji dyktatury. Widziano w niej system nietrwały i przejściowy.

Published: July 2024

Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja stanu wiedzy naukowej w zakresie pozaprawnych uwarunkowań partycypacji społecznej na poziomie lokalnym w Polsce oraz sformułowanie rekomendacji do prowadzenia dalszych dociekań naukowych we wskazanym obszarze badawczym. W pracy dokonano systematycznego przeglądu literatury, w oparciu o zasoby wiedzy naukowej, dostępne w wybranych bazach  naukowych. Na podstawie kwerendy literatury oraz krytycznej analizy treści publikacji zidentyfikowano stan wiedzy, w tym także jej luki oraz wskazano rekomendacje dotyczące kierunków przyszłych badań nad pozaprawnymi uwarunkowaniami partycypacji społecznej na poziomie lokalnym w Polsce. Wyniki systematycznego przeglądu literatury pozwoliły na sformułowanie wniosków, że stan aktualnej wiedzy wskazuje na cechy społeczno-kulturowe poszczególnych wspólnot lokalnych oraz działania władz lokalnych jako główne, pozaprawne determinanty aktywności społecznej.
E-wydania jako nieudana recepta na kryzys regionalnej prasy drukowanej w Polsce w drugiej dekadzie XXI wieku
Authors: Kuca Paweł
Published: July 2024

W drugiej dekadzie XXI w. na rynku mediów regionalnych w Polsce można było zaobserwować zasadniczy spadek znaczenia prasy drukowanej. Wyrażał się on m.in. malejącym znaczeniem i bardzo wysokimi spadkami sprzedaży dzienników regionalnych. W latach 2010-2020 średni spadek sprzedaży egzemplarzowej wydań drukowanych dzienników regionalnych w Polsce przekroczył 78 proc. Jednym ze sposobów na ograniczenie skutków malejącego znaczenie prasy drukowanej były inwestycje dotyczące rozwoju e-prasy. Na podstawie danych dotyczących sprzedaży można jednak postawić tezę, że rozwój e-wydań dzienników regionalnych poszerzył ofertę wydawców prasy regionalnej, ale nie wpłynął na ograniczenie znaczenia dzienników regionalnych i nie rekompensował spadków sprzedaży wydań drukowanych.

Literature reporting on the outcomes of the different procedures of nephrectomies (open vs laparoscopic vs robotic) in Saudi Arabia remains limited. Compare surgical and oncological outcomes between open and minimally invasive nephrectomies. A retrospective cohort study. The present study included all adult patients who underwent nephrectomies between January 1, 2015 and January 31, 2023. We collected demographic, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data on 408 adult cancer patients who underwent nephrectomies at our center between January 2015 and January 2023. Statistical differences were calculated between procedure types. Overall survival was calculated using Kaplan–Meier curves with log-rank tests. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Measures of operative success (intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and hospital stay) and oncological outcomes (local recurrence, metastatic progression, and chemotherapy use) between different procedure and nephrectomy types for cancer patients. A total of 408 cancer patients underwent nephrectomies. In cancer patients, open nephrectomy was associated with significantly higher intraoperative blood loss (p<0.001), incidence of blood transfusions (p<0.001), hospital stay (p<0.001), intraoperative complications (p=0.027 and p=0.001, respectively), local recurrence (p<0.001), metastatic progression (p=0.001), and chemotherapy (p=0.001) than minimally invasive surgery, but survival differences across procedure types were not statistically significant (log-rank p-value = 0.054). Regarding nephrectomy type, significant differences were observed in tumor size (p < 0.001), initial procedure type (p<0.001), operation time (p<0.001), blood transfusion (p=0.033), length of hospital stay (p=0.004), intraoperative complications (p=0.020), postoperative complications (p=0.025), Clavien classification (p=0.003), mortality (p=0.022), metastatic progression (p<0.001), and chemotherapy use (p=0.001) between simple/total nephrectomy, radical nephrectomy (RN), partial nephrectomy (PN), and nephroureterectomy. Survival differences between the four nephrectomy types were statistically significant (log-rank p value = 0.001). Minimally invasive nephrectomies reduce inpatient morbidity while conferring equivalent oncological and surgical outcomes.

Published: July 2024

RESUMO Objetivos: identificar e analisar os fatores contribuintes para ocorrência de incidentes de segurança nos processos de prescrição, preparo e dispensação de medicamentos antineoplásicos em pacientes oncopediátricos. Métodos: estudo de melhoria da qualidade focado nos processos de assistência farmacêutica oncopediátrica que identificou e analisou incidentes entre 2019-2020. Um grupo multidisciplinar realizou análise de causa raiz (ACR), identificando principais fatores contribuintes. Resultados: em 2019, registraram-se sete incidentes, sendo 57% relacionados à prescrição. Em 2020, através de busca ativa, identificaram-se 34 incidentes, sendo 65% relativos à prescrição, 29% ao preparo e 6% à dispensação. Os principais fatores contribuintes foram interrupções, ausência de alerta eletrônico, sobrecarga de trabalho, treinamento e déficit de funcionários. Conclusões: os resultados mostraram que registro adequado e aplicação da ACR aos incidentes identificados podem proporcionar melhoria na qualidade do cuidado oncopediátrico mapeando os fatores contribuintes e possibilitando aos gestores desenvolverem plano de ação efetivo para mitigar riscos associados ao processo.

RESUMO Objetivos: estimar a prevalência de níveis depressivos e fatores associados entre pessoas travestis e transexuais. Métodos: estudo transversal com 58 participantes assistidos por organizações não governamentais. Utilizou-se o Beck Depression Inventory para avaliação dos níveis depressivos e um questionário sociodemográfico e de experiências de violência. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. Resultados: observou-se uma prevalência de 27,6% (IC95%=11,50-39,10) de níveis depressivos moderados a graves, associada ao estado civil solteiro (RP=1,19; IC95%=1,10-1,28) e à violência nos serviços de saúde (RP=2,30; IC95%=1,10-4,81). Conclusões: viver sem companheiro(a) e experienciar violências nos serviços de saúde prejudicaram a saúde mental e aumentaram a prevalência de sintomas depressivos entre pessoas travestis e transexuais. A defesa dos direitos de pessoas trans e a educação permanente em saúde para profissionais são estratégias essenciais para promover a saúde mental dessa população.

Published: July 2024

RESUMO Objetivos: mapear os elementos constitutivos do conceito de mobilidade segura presentes no cuidado hospitalar a pessoas idosas. Métodos: revisão de escopo de 35 artigos buscados em bases de dados e literatura cinzenta - BDENF/BVS, Scopus, CINAHL/EBSCO, Embase, Web of Science, PEDro, MEDLINE/PubMed e Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES. Nenhum recorte temporal e de idioma foi estabelecido. Resultados: nenhum dos estudos apresentou o conceito claro de mobilidade segura, entretanto seus elementos constitutivos envolvem fatores relacionados ao paciente (fatores comportamentais, condições, doenças, sinais e sintomas, estado nutricional, idade, equilíbrio, força, qualidade da marcha, sono), à instituição (ambiente, dispositivos para tratamento, orientações, medicamentos e polifarmácia, recursos materiais e humanos e vestimentas/calçados) e à natureza das intervenções (relacionadas ao paciente, à instituição e à família). Considerações Finais: os elementos constitutivos de mobilidade segura expressam a capacidade das unidades hospitalares em garantir cuidado e proteção de acidentes por quedas a pessoas idosas hospitalizadas.
