Authors: Lal Swati , Shankar Mani , Adhikari Bankim Chandra , Chaudhary Anil Kumar
Published: March 2020

Background: Bacterial sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in newborns. Probable sepsis is a clinical and laboratory finding consistent with bacterial infection without a positive culture. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to study and determine the predictive value of hematological parameters in the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis at a tertiary care center in Jharkhand. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study conducted from July 2016 to June 2017 in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Jharkhand. A total of 110 neonates admitted in neonatal intensive care unit of the hospital, with either clinical suspicion of sepsis or having predisposing perinatal factors for sepsis, were included in the study. In this study, hematological scoring system (HSS) along with clinical profile of patient and sepsis screening tests was studied. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value (PPV) of each parameter were studied and analyzed. Results: Out of 46 cases with culture-proven sepsis, 40 (86.95%) infants had score ?5 and 6 (13.04%) had scores 3–4. HSS had a sensitivity of 86.95% and a specificity of 78.12%. HSS had PPV of 74.07%. Male babies were observed to be affected more than female babies. Conclusion: As no single individual hematological parameter is superior to other in predicting neonatal sepsis, a combination of these parameters in the form of HSS and C-reactive protein has been recommended. We conclude that HSS is a useful test to distinguish the infected from non-infected neonates.

Learning to stay still: reflective practice in the context of supervision—integrating the personal and the professional
Authors: Cucchi Angie
Published: March 2020

Clinical supervision plays a crucial role for professional development and is mandatory for trainees and qualified psychologists and psychotherapists alike. Its function and style can vary significantly and range from case management to the depth of reflexive supervision characteristic of counselling psychology and psychotherapy. While the literature has thoroughly described the purpose and the characteristics of helpful and unhelpful supervision, the relationship between the personal and the professional elements of supervision is largely ignored. Trainees often embark on their professional journey with an unclear and, at times, fearful sense of integrating the clinical and the personal. Yet, the two cannot be separated. This article aims to reflect on a personal journey in supervision and to bridge the gap between the professional and the personal. The reader can expect a very personal style of writing as I recount some episodes of my own learning and transformation, and I use the theory to make sense of that journey. Given that it’s in the intersection between the different selves that transformational learning is created, the profession ought to encourage and foster more transparent, reflexive dialogues.
Colorectal cancer statistics, 2020

Published: March 2020

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States. Every 3 years, the American Cancer Society provides an update of CRC occurrence based on incidence data (available through 2016) from population‐based cancer registries and mortality data (through 2017) from the National Center for Health Statistics. In 2020, approximately 147,950 individuals will be diagnosed with CRC and 53,200 will die from the disease, including 17,930 cases and 3,640 deaths in individuals aged younger than 50 years. The incidence rate during 2012 through 2016 ranged from 30 (per 100,000 persons) in Asian/Pacific Islanders to 45.7 in blacks and 89 in Alaska Natives. Rapid declines in incidence among screening‐aged individuals during the 2000s continued during 2011 through 2016 in those aged 65 years and older (by 3.3% annually) but reversed in those aged 50 to 64 years, among whom rates increased by 1% annually. Among individuals aged younger than 50 years, the incidence rate increased by approximately 2% annually for tumors in the proximal and distal colon, as well as the rectum, driven by trends in non‐Hispanic whites. CRC death rates during 2008 through 2017 declined by 3% annually in individuals aged 65 years and older and by 0.6% annually in individuals aged 50 to 64 years while increasing by 1.3% annually in those aged younger than 50 years. Mortality declines among individuals aged 50 years and older were steepest among blacks, who also had the only decreasing trend among those aged younger than 50 years, and excluded American Indians/Alaska Natives, among whom rates remained stable. Progress against CRC can be accelerated by increasing access to guideline‐recommended screening and high‐quality treatment, particularly among Alaska Natives, and elucidating causes for rising incidence in young and middle‐aged adults.

Una Aproximación a la influencia del Folclore Canario en España y América. El Folclore de Venezuela.
Authors: Rodríguez María del Pilar
Published: March 2020

El redescubrimiento de las Isla Canarias (1291), y su posterior conquista, trajeron como consecuencia el traslado de un importante contingente de aborígenes canarios (llamados guanches) a la Península Ibérica, donde en sus zonas de asentamiento generarán particulares formas de cultura. En este proceso inmigratorio estuvieron involucrados la Corona de Aragón y el Reino de Castilla, y se extendió por un lapso que se inicia hacia medi,ados del siglo XIII, y dura hasta más allá de 1570, fecha en que se produce la expulsión total de los moriscos granadinos. La zona de ia península ibérica donde la. presencia canaria es importante permite establecer la Banda Guanche, que abarca una ancha franja del sudeste desde Cataluña hasta la frontera con Portugal. Con el descubrimiento de América, Canarias se convierte en la plataforma desde dond~ salen los viajes ultramarinos. Los aborígenes canarios serán en parte desviados a los territorios americanos en proceso de conquista. Par~lelamente, finalizada la conquista de Canarias, entre finales del siglo XV y principios del XVI, cuando la introducción de canarios produce en la Baja Andalucía excedentes de población en el área de influencia sevillana, aquellos de comportamientos no convencionales, en general capturados como esclavos por su comportamiento belicoso, serán incorporados a la empresa americana. Así, la presencia canaria en América se produce por dos vías: una, directamente desde Canarias, y otra, a través el periplo Canarias-Andalucía-América. Los dos componentes fundamentales del elemento blanco en América fueron: espafioles y canarios. Los "españoles" (castellanos) tenían importancia en el gobierno, pero eran escasos. Los canarios, mayormente blancos pobres, eran relativamente abundantes y producirán la más importante influencia cultural. A partir de 1675 la presencia canaria se incrementa ampliamente en toda Hispanoamérica. En Venezuela el folclore presentará una marcada influencia canaria y estará ligada a la introducción de pobladores canarios o de origen canario. Agentes de esta política pobladora serán los misioneros: agustinos y capuchinos. Los misioneros capuchinos fueron andaluces y aragoneses y en su área de influencia se define el joropo, formado cante y baile que llegará a ser la más importante manifestación folclórica del país.
El perfil ideal de la universidad dominicana: ¿orientada a competir en el mundo global o a contribuir con el desarrollo nacional?
Authors: Fiallo Calderón Miguel
Published: March 2020

La globalización plantea grandes e importantes retos para las universidades dominicanas. Su abordaje es aún una tarea pendiente para las Instituciones de Educación Superior del país. Uno de esos retos es producir un egresado con las competencias para desempeñarse en un mundo globalizado, dominado por el uso de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones capaz de mostrar un alto nivel de desempeño en un mercado laboral cada vez más exigente. A través del análisis de las principales tendencias de gestión de universidades del primer mundo, se establece un conjunto de características que debe exhibir la academia dominicana para producir un egresado con estas competencias. Esto incluye, pero no se limita a la necesidad de internacionalización de las universidades; la responsabilidad con la que esta debe asumir el conocimiento y su nueva función social; aprovechar las redes académicas y de investigación; propiciar la creación de nuevos modelos educativos que permitan construir un nuevo perfil del egresado; re configurar sus estructuras de gestión y adaptar su infraestructura. Al final, se proponen algunos criterios de cambio que podrían motivar un debate sobre cómo puede la universidad dominicana actual producir un egresado ideal de calidad global.
Belleza, sentido y creación en la enseñanza de la Lengua.
Authors: Rosario Candelier Bruno
Published: March 2020

Este trabajo muestra cómo la belleza y el sentido en el proceso de la enseñanza de la Lengua impulsan al estudiante al dominio de la misma. Al darse cuenta del rol que juega la palabra en la vida de la conciencia, entiende su importancia y aprecia el canto maravilloso del ser que se expresa desde las profundidades de la dimensión espiritual. La belleza es generalmente una fuente de contemplación, motivación e inspiración; el profesor debe concitarla para despertar la conexión con el alma de lo viviente. Es fuente creativa de exaltación y de valoración para todo lo que, de alguna manera, enaltece la sensibilidad y la conciencia porque no solo hemos de cultivar la sensibilidad sino también la conciencia. Una conciencia de las cosas que nos rodean; una conciencia del impacto que las cosas ejercen en nuestra sensibilidad; y una conciencia de que entramos en comunión con las cosas y, por ese vínculo, establecemos un punto de contacto con la realidad material y la realidad inmaterial. Ese contacto suele ser exclusivo, inspirador y sugerente. Dado lo anterior, la belleza tiene una vertiente que de alguna manera sirve para que nos asombremos ante el encanto del mundo y el esplendor de la Creación.
Educación comunitaria, impacto familiar y social en al aparición de labio leporino y paladar hendido.
Authors: Cordero Rogelio , Silva-Vetri María Guadalupe , Botero González Tiffany
Published: March 2020

La educación comunitaria constituye una herramienta fundamental en la prevención de enfermedades, porque potencia los diferentes esfuerzos, saberes, experiencias y voluntades de un grupo de personas que persiguen un mismo fin: la solución de la problemática que afecta al enfermo, a la familia y a la comunidad. En este trabajo se consideran estudios que avalan el hecho de que la patología de labio leporino puede ser impactada de manera positiva con este tipo de aproximación. Se decidió realizar: primero, un estudio del tipo revisión bibliográfica como base teórica y luego, un estudio descriptivo de carácter exploratorio de los expedientes de los pacientes que asisten al servicio de la â€œFundación niños que ríenâ€. Se focalizaron los esfuerzos de educación y se determinaton las áreas de mayor incidencia para dirigir los esfuerzos hacia esos lugares en busca de disminuir los factores predisponentes.
La complejidad en la educación del siglo XXI.
Authors: Berrido Ofelia
Published: March 2020

En este ensayo se reflexiona sobre el impacto del paradigma de la complejidad en el mundo de la educación del siglo XXI busca demostrar el cómo la educación, para ser efectiva y eficiente, debe contemplar las acciones que ejecutará sobre las variables críticas que impactan el sistema educacional. En el trabajo se han tocado los siguientes puntos críticos: El gobierno como líder del sistema y como ente definitorio de las necesidades nacionales; las universidades como responsables de la implementación certera de la función social de formar a los ciudadanos y de ofertar una educación con un estilo propio dentro de la autonomía que el sistema del país permite en busca de una educación libre, no dictatorial; los profesores como parte vital del sistema por ser guías o facilitadores que dirigen el proceso en el lugar donde se hace efectivo el sistema completo, en las aulas tanto presenciales como virtuales; y finalmente, los estudiantes, alfa y omega para quien se inicia y termina el proceso en busca de profesionales que hagan de la nación un lugar productivo en el que se vive una relación basada en valores éticos. Para ello reflexionamos tomando como marco de referencia investigaciones previas sobre el tema y culturas milenarias que aún se expresan soterradamente en el accionar del ser humano de este siglo.

Uso de hábitat de anidación del Gavilán de la Española (Buteo ridgwayi) en el Parque Nacional Los Haitises, República Dominicana.
Authors: Gesto De Jesús Eladia María
Published: March 2020

El Gavilán de la Española (Buteo ridgwayi) es una rapaz endémica de la Española considerada el ave más amenazada del país y una de las rapaces más amenazadas del mundo, con una distribución histórica de unos 27 puntos de la Española, reduciendo su población en la actualidad a único hábitat natural, el Parque Nacional Los Haitises. La determinación de los patrones de hábitat para anidación de esta ave es importante como insumo al conocimiento de sus preferencias como población vulnerable para fines de acciones de conservación de la especie. Para la determinación de patrones de uso del hábitat del Buteo ridgwayi, se muestrearon 186 árboles para los que se tomaron variables dasométricas y de cobertura de vegetación.Para la elección de especies de árboles de anidación del Buteo ridgwayi, las variables altura y especie fueron las de mayor relevancia para el ave. El árbol de anidación de preferencia fue la Roystonea borinquena con un 81% de los casos. El uso de suelo con mayor presencia de nidos fue el matorral con un 43% de los casos. Los nidos del Buteo ridgwayi presentaron valores inferiores en la métrica distancia mínima del vecino más cercano en comparación con otros registros para especies del género Buteo. La proximidad entre nidos es un indicativo de la escasez de condiciones necesarias en el entorno actual para la población bajo monitoreo. Los nidos del Buteo ridgwayi estuvieron presentes en diferentes usos de suelo en zonas fragmentadas y deforestadas, por lo que no se muestra una dependencia directa del bosque para efectos de anidación.
Narrativa cubana: Algunos raros
Authors: Valle Amir
Published: March 2020

El establecimiento del canon literario está casi siempre sesgado por criterios extraliterarios,muchas veces internos, cuando las luchas e intereses de personalidades y grupos afectan la justiciade su establecimiento; otras tantas, externos, cuando el poder político establece barreras, censuras yestrategias de autopromoción a través del arte y la literatura. Pero hay también los escritores raros,que escapan a esas circunstancias diferenciándose de corrientes, modas y grupos a través de su particularsentido de creación, determinado por sus vivencias, sensibilidad y acervo cultural. De todoesto trata este trabajo, que busca trazar un mapa diferenciador de la literatura cubana de finales dels.XX e inicios del XXI, haciendo justicia precisamente a los silenciados por los grupos de interés yel poder.

Desde mediados de siglo XX, la mayoría de los países latinoamericanos se enfrentan a una continua migración de gente empobrecida desde zonas rurales hacia asentamientos informales en la periferia de las ciudades. A pesar de las condiciones de hacinamiento y pobreza extrema, el acceso a fuentes de trabajo, educación, centros de salud y transporte público continúan estimulando la expansión de los asentamientos. Este estudio examina cómo varios arquitectos latinoamericanos -Teddy Cruz, Jorge Jáuregui y Flavio Janches- están desarrollando nuevas tácticas de intervención urbana sustentadas en el análisis y la comprensión del contexto, la revaloración de la identidad cultural de la comunidad, y la participación de diversas agencias asociadas al proyecto, como agrupaciones vecinales, líderes barriales, ONGs, y representaciones gubernamentales.

Antecedentes: La violencia contra la mujer por su pareja íntima (VPI) puede provocar un malestar psicológico intenso y afectar su autoestima. Método: estudio con enfoque cuantitativo de tipo comparativo entre mujeres víctimas de violencia por sus parejas y las no víctimas. El grupo de mujeres maltratadas (n = 170), grupo mujeres víctimas, buscaron ayuda en un centro de asistencia psicológica a mujeres maltratadas; y las no maltratadas (n = 170), grupo no víctimas, fueron contactadas mediante la red de apoyo del Patronato de Ayuda a Casos de Mujeres Maltratadas (PACAM). Se identificó el tipo de violencia con un formulario estructurado y autoadministrado y se evaluó la autoestima con el Inventario de Autoestima de Rosenberg. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la autoestima (p<0.001*) entre ambos grupos. La edad media de las mujeres víctimas fue de 38.55 años (DE = 9.72, rango = 20 – 67). En el grupo de las no víctimas, la edad media fue de 37.25 años (DE = 11.43, rango = 18 – 65). Los resultados evidencian que la baja autoestima se asocia de manera estadísticamente significativa con la violencia de pareja.

Authors: Ahumada Francisco
Published: March 2020

La psicología actual se enfrenta a desafíos que tienen características particulares. Estos desafíos tienen que ver con la inmediatez, la alienación y la construcción de un sentido exitista de la vida. El problema es que estas necesidades actuales siguen siendo tratadas con una psicología con bases epistemológicas y psicológicas obsoletas. Necesitamos reconocer esta crisis. Este artículo se enfoca en ofrecer una posibilidad de reflexión y especialización para los psicoterapeutas y la psicología en general, en la búsqueda de volverse más atingentes a los desafíos que enfrentan en su quehacer actual. Propone la necesidad de declarar crisis en los fundamentos filosóficos, los paradigmas, los enfoques y las técnicas que dan base a la psicoterapia tradicional. En el desarrollo del artículo se presenta unadisciplina complementaria recientemente creada llamada coaching psicogénico. Se muestran sus características principales y generales. Por último, se desglosan ciertas premisas éticas importantes para adoptar en la actualidad e incrementar la efectividad y credibilidad de la psicología.
Age, Genetic Characteristics and Number of Cycles Are Critical Factors to Consider for Successful Protection of the Murine Heart With Postconditioning

Postconditioning (PostC) is a recently discovered phenomenon whereby brief repetitive cycles of ischaemia with intermittent reperfusion following prolonged ischaemia elicit cardioprotection. This study investigated whether the age, genetic characteristics or number of repetitive cycles influenced the protective effect of PostC in mice. C57BL/6 floxed or non-floxed STAT-3 mice aged between 14-16 weeks (young) or 18-20 weeks (older) were perfused on a Langendorff apparatus and subjected to 35 min global ischaemia and 45 min reperfusion. PostC was elicited by either 3 (PostC-3) or 6 cycles (PostC-6) of 10s ischaemia and 10 s reperfusion. PostC-3 and PostC-6 in both young and older non-floxed mice reduced the myocardial infarct size. In contrast, only PostC-3 reduced myocardial infarct size in young floxed mice. Neither PostC-3 nor PostC-6 reduced the infarct in older floxed mice. Our data reveal that genetic characteristics, a minute difference in age or the number of postconditioning cycles are critical factors to be considered for the successful effect of ischaemic postconditioning in a murine model. Moreover, these factors should be taken into consideration for future experimental research or clinical applications of this protective phenomenon.

Published: March 2020

Repeated postnatal caffeine treatment of rat pups led to transient developmental changes in cortical epileptic afterdischarges. To know if physiological cortical functions are also affected transcallosal evoked potentials were studied. Rat pups of the Wistar strain were injected daily with caffeine (10 or 20 mg/kg s.c.) from postnatal day (P) 7 to P11, control siblings received saline. Cortical interhemispheric responses were tested at P12, 18, 25 and in young adult rats. Amplitude of initial monosynaptic components was evaluated in averaged responses. Single pulses as well as paired and frequency (five pulses) stimulations were used. Developmental rules – highest amplitude of responses in 25-day-old rats, potentiation with paired and frequency stimulation present since P18 – were confirmed. Caffeine-treated rats exhibited transient changes: single responses were augmented in P25 if high stimulation intensity was used, paired-pulse and frequency responses were higher in experimental than in control animals at P12, the opposite change was observed in 18- and more markedly in 25-day-old rats. No significant changes were found in adult animals, monosynaptic transcallosal responses represent a simple and robust system. The developmental profile of described changes did not exactly correspond to changes in epileptic afterdischarges supporting the possibility that afterdischarges did not arise from early monosynaptic components of responses. In spite of transient nature of changes they can reflect delayed or more probably modified brain development.

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of aerobic training on the left ventricular (LV) systolic function. Thirty patients with stable coronary artery disease, who had participated in the conducted 3-month physical training, were retrospectively divided into 2 cohorts. While patients in the cohort I (n=14) had continued training individually for 12 months, patients in the cohort II (n=16) had stopped training after finishing the conducted program. Rest and stress dobutamine/atropine echocardiography was performed in all patients before the training program and 1 year later. The peak systolic velocities of mitral annulus (Sa) were assessed by tissue Doppler imaging for individual LV walls. In addition, to determine global LV systolic longitudinal function, the four-site mean systolic velocity was calculated (Sa glob). According to the blood supply, left ventricular walls were divided into 5 groups: A- walls supplied by nonstenotic artery; B- walls supplied by coronary artery with stenosis ≤ 50 %; C- walls supplied by coronary artery with stenosis 51-70 %; D- walls with stenosis of supplying artery 71-99 %; and E- walls with totally occluded supplying artery. In global systolic function, the follow-up values of Sa glob in cohort I were improved by 0.23±0.36 as compared with baseline values at rest, and by 1.26±0.65 cm/s at the maximal load, while the values of Sa glob in cohort II were diminished by 0.53±0.22 (p=NS), and by 1.25±0.45 cm/s (p<0.05), respectively. Concerning the resting regional function, the only significant difference between cohorts in follow-up changes was found in walls E: 0.37±0.60 versus –1.76±0.40 cm/s (p<0.05). At the maximal load, the significant difference was found only in walls A (0.16±0.84 versus –2.67±0.87 cm/s; p<0.05). Patients with regular 12-month physical activity improved their global left ventricle systolic function mainly due to improvement of contractility in walls supplied by a totally occluded coronary artery.

Published: March 2020

Streptococcus mutans were competing Streptococcus sanguinis in biofilm formation. As pioneer colonizer, S. sanguinis were able to control S. mutans growth. This study was aimed to explore the ability of sucrose and non-sucrose cajuputs candies (SCC and NSCC) in maintaining the antagonistic relationship between the indigenous oral flora when they grew as dual-species biofilms (S. sanguinis and S. mutans). The flavored candies (SCC and NSCC) contained cajuput and peppermint oils as the flavor which the volatile compounds had been identified. The unflavored candies were made similar to the flavored candy but excluding the flavor. The flavored candies, unflavored candies, and the control were exposed in vitro to the biofilms. The biofilms were examined for biofilm inhibition capacity, DNA amount, and the expression level of spxB mRNA. The biofilm inhibition by flavored candies were higher than the unflavored ones and were significantly different compared to the control. The flavored candies managed to decrease the total DNA amount in the biofilm, but unflavored samples did not. The qPCR assays showed that the exposure of candies did not alter the proportion of S. sanguinis DNA to S. mutans DNA in the biofilms. Meanwhile, spxB mRNA expression indicated the ability of S.sanguinis to control S. mutans growth.
Morphological causatives are Voice over Voice
Authors: Nie Yining
Published: March 2020

Causative morphology has been associated with either the introduction of an event of causation or the introduction of a causer argument. However, morphological causatives are mono-eventive, casting doubt on the notion that causatives fundamentally add a causing event. On the other hand, in some languages the causative morpheme is closer to the verb root than would be expected if the causative head is responsible for introducing the causer. Drawing on evidence primarily from Tagalog and Halkomelem, I argue that the syntactic configuration for morphological causatives involves Voice over Voice, and that languages differ in whether their ‘causative marker’ spells out the higher Voice, the lower Voice or both.
Long Non-coding RNA MIR570MG Causes Regorafenib Resistance in Colon Cancer by Repressing miR-145/SMAD3 Signaling

An increasing number of studies have shown that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) dysregulation plays a fundamental role in the development of various cancers, including colon cancer. Nonetheless, the mechanisms of lncRNA in regorafenib-resistance remain unclear. Our research revealed the lncRNA MIR570MG increased in regorafenib-resistant colon cancer cells compared to the regorafenib-sensitive cells. Furthermore, MIR570MG sponged miR-145, which declined in regorafenib-resistant colon cancer cell lines. More importantly, overexpression of miR-145 hampered cell proliferation and retrieved colon cancer regorafenib-sensitivity, contrary to the function of MIR570MG. Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-145 bound to 3′-UTR of SMAD3, a transcriptional modulator activated by TGFβ, resulting in blockage of TGFβ /SMAD3-mediated cell growth and cycle progression. Besides, ectopic expression of miR-145 inhibitor in the parental cells endowed resistance to regorafenib. Inversely, knockdown of MIR570MG impoverished resistance against regorafenib. Additionally, overexpression of MIR570MG conquered the suppression of tumor growth by miR-146 and rehabilitated the resistance to regorafenib in HCT116R human colon cancer mouse models. In summary, our findings suggested that MIR570MG promoted regorafenib resistance via releasing SMAD3 from miR-145, leading to activation of SMAD3-mediated signaling pathways.
