El concepto de especie intencional en Suárez: su proyección en la Filosofía de la Escuela Alemana y en algunas corrientes de la Filosofía contemporánea
Authors: Jiménez Rodríguez Alba
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo tiene como objeto evaluar las claves de interpretación que el concepto de especie intencional en Suárez pueda proporcionar tanto para comprender algunas transformaciones esenciales acaecidas en la Schulphilosophie alemana como en los orígenes de ciertas lecturas de orientación fenomenológica. Se propone así la tesis de que la transformación de la metafísica en una ontología específicamente moderna, no sólo aparece vinculada a los hechos fundamentales de la emergencia de una nueva dimensión de la posibilidad y a la reducción de Dios a una región del ente más entre otras de la metaphysica specialis, sino a un redescubrimiento de la idea platónica de especie que aboca por su parte en una novedosa reflexión sobre los modos posibles de relación entre el elemento sensible y elemento inteligible del conocimiento que bien pueden leerse en conexión con algunas de las posiciones que tuvieron un momento de desarrollo privilegiado en el punto de encuentro entre el neokantismo y la fenomenología.

Ética aplicada a la gestión de datos masivos
Authors: Colmenarejo Fernández Rosa
Published: November 2023

Big Data (BD) debe ser considerado un fenómeno socio-tecnológico en tanto que está transformando la cultura de la comunicación y de las relaciones sociales. Recoger, almacenar, gestionar y utilizar datos de forma masiva, en muchos casos con fines lucrativos, plantea problemas relacionados con la privacidad, la propiedad, la identidad, la intimidad, la confianza o la reputación. Aunque no son problemas nuevos, es cierto que se están viendo ahora desbordados por la misma naturaleza de lo que entendemos por BD: volumen, variedad, veracidad, valor y, especialmente, velocidad. La tesis específica de este trabajo es que ya no es posible eludir por más tiempo los componentes éticos de esta novísima acción humana relacionada con los datos. Cabe afirmar que ante este nuevo escenario en el que lo más evidente se desvanece, se precisa reconfigurar lo más obvio: pensar la ética desde un nuevo sujeto moral, aún por definir, que ha suplantado ya al sujeto —humano— responsable en la toma de decisiones. Nos ocuparemos primero de delimitar las áreas en las que podemos establecer que opera esta ética aplicada a BD, para abordar inmediatamente después aquello que hemos denominado el problema de identificación del sujeto moral y de argumentar la posible adopción de un nuevo giro copernicano que nos permita establecer las (posibles) atribuciones de racionalidad que podría desplegar este inédito sujeto moral que representan las máquinas.

INTERCULTURALIDAD EN LA EDUCACIÓN SUPERIOR PARA ESTUDIANTES INDÍGENAS: PROPUESTAS PARA LA UNIVERSIDAD CONVENCIONAL
Authors: Maldonado Méndez Érika Verónica , Ayala Maldonado Carlos Ariel
Published: November 2023

Los pueblos indígenas en México viven en un contexto de pobreza extrema, desigualdad social y discriminación que les obstaculiza el acceso y ejercicio del derecho a la educación, llave para mejorar su calidad de vida. La educación oficial, por disposición normativa, debe atender al criterio de interculturalidadderivado de la conformación multicultural de la sociedad mexicana, diferenciándose entre la educación intercultural con pertinencia cultural y lingüística para dichos pueblos, y la educación intercultural para toda la sociedad. Con esta premisa, considerando postulados de la filosofía de la interculturalidad, se analiza argumentativamente el escenario de la educación superior para las etnias, materializado en instituciones de educación superior interculturales y convencionales; identificando la presencia de discentes de origen étnico en ambas. A partir de ello, se realizan propuestas para que las instituciones convencionales cumplan con el criterio de interculturalidad, que permita la incorporación de estudiantes indígenas sin menoscabo desu identidad cultural.
SOBRE FAIRNESS Y MACHINE LEARNING: EL ALGORITMO ¿PUEDE (Y DEBE) SER JUSTO?
Authors: Belloso Martín Nuria
Published: November 2023

El uso cada vez más frecuente de la Inteligencia Artificial en el ámbito delDerecho, obliga a plantearse si las decisiones automatizadas pueden, y deben, ser justas. El algoritmo, en el Machine Learning, tiene la virtualidad de ir aprendiendo, lo que lo dota de un cierto grado de autonomía. Sesgos, discriminaciones y desigualdades que derivan de decisiones automatizadas, ponen al descubierto el mito del algoritmo justo. El criterio de justicia que se exige en la concepción analógica del Derecho también debe exigirse en la dimensión digital. En este trabajo, desde la dificultad inicial de una falta de consenso sobre qué sea la fairness, examino cómo incorporar la fairness al algoritmo. Ello exigirá un previo análisis de los fundamentos iusfilosóficos y de algunas de las teorías de la justicia (utilitaristas, contractualistas, comunitaristas, igualitaristas) a partir de las cuales se puedan establecer parámetros, correctores y garantías para la consecución de la imprescindible correlación entre la fairness artificial y la fairness legal.

This research aims to analyze students' perspectives by using the Google Classroom application in learning English during the pandemic. The subjects of this study were students from class XII IPS 3 at SMA Yuppentek 1 Kota Tangerang in the academic year 2021/2022. The research used a descriptive qualitative method. In collecting data, the author used 2 techniques, namely; interviews and questionnaires. The results of this study are based on their perspective, it can be concluded that online learning is fun. Learning online is more relaxed because it can be done anywhere. Online learning makes saving time and money. Students also study online due to pandemic conditions that require them to study online. However, the negative side of online learning is unstable network conditions, sometimes constrained by the internet quota being exhausted, unfocused, and less effective in delivering subject matter which ultimately makes it difficult for students to understand the subject matter and using Google Classroom facilitated the online learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic, but there is no denying that they also consider face-to-face learning to be more effective than online learning.

Published: November 2023

Autism can be considered both a personal and social identity. Identifying the factors contributing to positive Autistic identity development is crucial given the potential implications for mental health and wellbeing. In this systematic review, we aimed to synthesise quantitative literature on Autistic identity to identify the (individual and environmental) factors associated with Autistic identity, and to ascertain the relationship between Autistic identity and mental health and wellbeing. A total of 3,617 studies were screened and 20 met our inclusion criteria. Results indicated that people developed a more positive Autistic identity when receiving external autism acceptance and external support. The association between individual factors and Autistic identity were largely non-significant or inconclusive, highlighting the need for broad support that meets the needs of a range of Autistic people, rather than specific sub-groups. Importantly, positive Autistic identity was associated with improved mental health and wellbeing. Peer support and/or self-directed support resources may be valuable mechanisms for supporting Autistic people to cultivate a positive Autistic identity. The evaluation of such support, including the long-term impacts on identity development, will be a critical avenue for future research.
Search Engine Use for Health-Related Purposes: Behavioral Data on Online Health Information-Seeking in Germany
Authors: Bachl Marko , Link Elena , Mangold Frank , Stier Sebastian
Published: November 2023

Internet searches for health-related purposes are common, with search engines like Google being the most popular starting point. However, results on the popularity of health information-seeking behaviors are based on self-report data, often criticized for suffering from incomplete recall, overreporting, and low reliability. Therefore, the current study builds on user-centric tracking of Internet use to reveal how individuals actually behave online. We conducted a secondary analysis of passively recorded Internet use logs to examine the prevalence of health-related search engine use, the types of health information searched for, and the sources visited after the searches. The analysis revealed two key findings. 1) We largely support earlier survey-based findings on the prevalence of online health information seeking with search engines and the relatively minor differences in information-seeking behaviors between socio-demographic groups. 2) We provide a more granular picture of the process of HISB using search engines by identifying different selection patterns depending on the scope of the searches.

Exploring the Perception of AI in Learning: Unveiling the Role of Student and Teacher Motivation and Self-Efficacy
Authors: Baez Charlotte , Buchner Josef , Roos Anna-Lena , Schallert-Vallaster Stefanie
Published: November 2023

Purpose. Artificial intelligence (AI) has a significant impact on education, but little is known about how primary and lower secondary school students perceive AI in learning. This study aims to explore both student and teacher motivation and self-efficacy in relation to students’ perceptions of AI in learning.Design/methodology/approach. Data from 907 primary and lower secondary school students and 53 corresponding class teachers from German speaking Switzerland was collected through questionnaires. Analysis was conducted using doubly multilevel structural equation modeling (ML-SEM).Findings. Analysis revealed that students’ motivation to learn with digital media is significantly linked to their perception of AI at the individual level. Furthermore, students’ self-efficacy plays a crucial role for their motivation, with girls exhibiting lower self-efficacy to learn with digital media compared to boys. At the class level, teacher motivation to integrate digital media in teaching was significantly positively associated with student motivation.Originality. This study is among the first to investigate primary and lower secondary school students’ perceptions of AI. It distinguishes itself by considering both student and teacher variables in a ML-SEM.Practical Implications. The research highlights the importance of fostering students’ self-efficacy and motivation to learn with digital media, particularly among female students. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for a supportive and motivating teacher-student dynamic to create a more positive perception of AI in learning. These findings provide valuable insights for integrating AI in primary and lower secondary school settings.
Eye movements as a tool to investigate exemplar retrieval in judgments
Authors: Rosner Agnes , Roth Fabienne , von Helversen Bettina
Published: November 2023

The retrieval of past instances stored in memory can guide inferential choices and judgments. Yet on the process level, little direct evidence exists that would allow a similar conclusion for preferential judgments. Recent research suggests that eye movements can be used to trace information search in memory. When retrieving information, people look at spatial locations that have been associated with retrieval-relevant information, even if these do not contain the information any longer (“looking-at-nothing” behavior). In this study, we aim to use looking-at-nothing behavior to investigate memory retrieval in inferential and preferential judgments and to gain further knowledge on how eye movements relate to judgment processes. In Experiment 1, half of the participants judged how much they would like smoothies consisting of different ingredients (preference condition) and the other half judged how much another person would like the presented smoothies (inference condition). In Experiment 2, all participants engaged in preferential judgments, but with or without instructions to respond as consistently as possible. The results show that people looked at exemplar locations in both inferential and preferential judgments, and both with and without instructions to respond as consistently as possible. Eye movements to similar training exemplars predicted test judgments but not eye movements to unsimilar exemplars. These results suggest that people retrieve exemplar information in inferential and preferential judgments but that retrieval processes are not the sole determinant of judgments. They highlight the importance of eye movements to understand judgments and choice.
Transcultural adaptation, structural validity, and reliability for the Perth Emotion Reactivity Scale (PERS-Br)
Authors: Silvestrin Mateus , Freitas Ana Luísa , Pantaleão Fernanda Naomi , Boggio Paulo
Published: November 2023

Emotional reactivity, characterised by individual predispositions to specific ranges of emotional activation, intensity, and duration, plays an essential role in emotional dynamics. We conducted a transcultural adaptation and validation of the Perth Emotion Reactivity Scale for Brazilian contexts, introducing the Brazilian version (PERS-Br) in both its standard and short forms. Both versions of the PERS-Br demonstrated robust structural validity and reliability, with the hierarchical model emerging as the most adequate. Older participants exhibited higher Positive Reactivity scores, while younger participants leaned towards higher Negative Reactivity scores. The standard version of the PERS-Br presented potential redundancies, as evidenced by high inter-factor correlations. Further validations of the PERS-Br, exploring how it relates to other constructs and its correlations with psychophysiological measures, are recommended. Overall, the PERS-Br, specially the short-version enriches the range of tools available for probing affective experiences in Brazil, offering a promising avenue for future studies in emotional reactivity.

Published: November 2023

Introduction The cardiovascular diseases are the main death cause in Portugal and Cardiovascular Risk Scores are very useful to the primary prevention of these diseases. Prevention of the development and progression of diseases with high morbidity and mortality to the workers can be work out by Occupational Health, in the sense of preserving workers’ health and wellbeing. Objectives The aim of this study is to evaluate the Cardiovascular Risk of the workers of a Hospital Centre in the interval between 2011 till 2021. Methods The Cardiovascular Risk was evaluated by using SCORE-2. Workers were selected only if they worked through the entirety of this interval in this Hospital Centre. The SCORE-2’s exclusion criteria include previous cardiovascular disease, Diabetes mellitus, age lower than 40 years or higher than 69 years. SCORE-2 uses data from blood pressure, lipid panel, sex, age and tobacco use. Results There were selected 345 workers. The median cardiovascular risk of the workers in 2021 (Median=2,215%; InterQuartile Range=3,0%) was significatively higher than the cardiovascular risk of 2011 (M=1,273%; IQR=1,8%). The cardiovascular risk in 2021 of the workers from Administrative Department (M=3.173%; IQR=4.6%) was significatively higher than workers from Medical Department (M=1.958%; IQR=1.9%). There were no significant differences found of the workers’ cardiovascular risk among the professional group in 2011 [X2(7)=7,580; p>0,05] and in 2021 [X2(7)=7,427; p>0,05]. There were no significant differences found of the workers’ cardiovascular risk among the educational background in 2011 [X2(5)=3,412; p>0,05] and in 2021 [X2(5)=2,895; p>0,05]. Conclusions Knowledge about the working population characteristics allows the development of personalized planning regarding healthy lifestyles, to reduce the Cardiovascular Risk of these workers. With these plans designed to reduce the global Cardiovascular Risk of the working population and its consequences on their health, is predicted a reduction in sickness absenteeism, an improvement in the workers’ quality of life, better performance and consequently better services provided by the employer.

Introduction Non-attendance at medical appointments is a widely recognized problem in healthcare systems, and it is associated with various factors. Occupational health examinations have distinct characteristics from medical appointments in other specialties due to their mandatory nature, legally required for both the employer and the employee. However, despite efforts, a considerable number of absences persist. Objectives To understand the underlying reasons for absences from these examinations. Methodology This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted in a public hospital institution. Employees of the hospital who missed their appointments in the first half of 2023 were contacted in July of the same year to conduct a telephone survey consisting of three multiple-choice questions related to the study’s theme. Microsoft Excel and SPSS Statistics programs were used for data analysis. Results A total of 278 absences were identified during the aforementioned period out of a total of 1589 scheduled health examinations, resulting in an absenteeism rate of 17.5%. Among the 212 telephone responses obtained, the primary reasons for non-compliance with occupational health examinations were mainly due to absence caused by acute illness, vacation, or time off, accounting for 20.3% of occurrences (n=43); lack of awareness of the appointment or it not occurring in a timely manner, representing 19.8% of responses (n=42); prolonged absence due to chronic illness, pregnancy, or parental leave, comprising 17.9% (n=38); inability to be absent from work in 16.5% of cases (n=35), and forgetfulness in approximately 12.7% (n=27). Additionally, only 26.9% of the workers rescheduled their health examination. Approximately 59.9% of the working population considers themselves insufficiently informed about the purpose and importance of health examinations, as well as the areas of Occupational Health intervention, showing receptiveness to further training in this area. Conclusion This study provided a deeper understanding of the underlying reasons for absences from occupational health examinations, opening an opportunity for the implementation of interventions aimed at minimizing this organizational problem, which has a substantial impact on the surveillance of workers’ health. KEYWORDS: health examinations; absences; occupational health; occupational medicine.

Introduction/ framework/ objectives “Baker’s Asthma” is a common type of occupational asthma in the bakery industry, related to the inhalation of allergens present in the work environment. It is a disease that produces high rates of absenteeism and temporary unfit for duty (sick leave). This study aimed to gather information about the presence of allergens present in the bakery sector that can develop occupational asthma, with the aim of potenciate the intervention by occupational health services. Methodology A literature review was carried out, including studies found in the online databases SciELO.Org, RCAAP, CINAHL, MEDLINE and MedicLatina, with research carried out between January and March 2022, with the keywords “Baker”, “Occupational Asthma” and “Allergens”. Full text articles published in the last five years, in English, Portuguese or Spanish, were defined as inclusion criteria. The protocol issue of this review is: “What are the allergens likely to trigger occupational asthma in the bakery area, as well as the preventive behaviors to be adopted?”. Results Baker’s asthma is one of the most common types of occupational asthma associated to exposure to flour dust and the allergens contained in it. Persistent exposure to airborne allergens may result in the initiation or worsening of asthma, as well as ocular and/or nasal symptoms. There is a strong relationship between occupational asthma and workers exposed to cereal flour dust, as well as some behaviors adopted by bakery workers as risk factors. The main allergens are those present in the dust of wheat, rye, barley, corn, oat and soy flours, as well as eggs, milk, buckwheat, sesame seeds, nuts and yeasts present in yeast as enhancers of the development of occupational asthma in the bakery sector. Conclusions The review of allergens and occupational asthma is important for the health of workers who continually inhale flour dust. It is important to identify the allergens that cause baker’s asthma, as it can help to improve the diagnosis and treatments of this disease and prevention programs. Workplace interventions, through the introduction of preventive measures (including individual and collective protection), health education and adequate training of workers, aimed at reducing exposure to allergens, contribute to reduce the incidence of occupational asthma.

The Impact of Exam Stress on the Relationship Between Autistic Traits and Disordered-Eating Attitudes in a Non-clinical Population
Authors: Law Naomi
Published: November 2023

Previous research has demonstrated that individuals with anorexia nervosa display elevated autistic traits in comparison to individuals who do not have the disorder. However, it remains unknown as to whether this relationship is a stable trait of individuals or if it is caused by a psychological or physical state. This study investigated the state vs trait nature of the relationship between disordered eating and autistic traits in a non-clinical sample, while additionally exploring the ability of cognitive inflexibility to predict this relationship. Thirty-four undergraduate students from the University of St Andrews completed questionnaires regarding their affect, disordered-eating attitudes and autistic traits alongside a measure of set-shifting ability in the Brixton Spatial Anticipation test during a period of examination stress and a period of no stress. It was revealed that on both occasions, individuals who scored higher on a test of disordered-eating attitudes also scored higher on a test measuring autistic traits. This relationship was stronger when participants were stressed. Autistic traits were also found to significantly predict a change in eating attitudes between a stress-induced state and pre-existing trait conditions. Inflexibility, as reflected by Brixton scores, did not appear to relate to either measure. These results indicate that slightly elevated autistic traits in those exhibiting disordered-eating attitudes may be state-dependent, as opposed to reflecting the engrained traits of the individual. Findings are discussed in relation to future research replicating the study with a larger sample and implications for the diagnosis and treatment of anorexia.

Published: November 2023

Purpose: To compare fovea-sparing and conventional internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in idiopathic macular hole (IMH) surgery in terms of IMH closure type, hole closure incidence and visual outcome.

Material and Methods: The ILM was peeled around the IMH in the conventional ILM peeling group. In the fovea-sparing ILM peeling group, an ILM flap was created temporally to the IMH (with an ILM remnant left attached to the margins of the IMH), folded over the hole and stabilized with viscoelastic. Gas tamponade with 20% SF6 or 15% С3F8 was used. In the postoperative period, IMH closure pattern was assessed. Thicknesses of the outer retinal layers, inner retinal layers and retinal nerve fiber layer in the macular region were measured at 1 and 3 months.

Results: Totally, 70 patients (15 males and 55 females) had an IMH surgery in 71 eyes. The mean age (SD) was 65.7 (6.8) years. The median IMH duration (interquartile range (IQR)) was 3.0 (1.0-6.0) months, and the mean preoperative BCVA (standard deviation (SD)), 0.19 (0.16). Thirty-four eyes had an IMH surgery with conventional ILM peeling, and 37 eyes, an IMH surgery with fovea-sparing ILM peeling. The two groups were matched in terms of preoperative visual acuity and macular hole duration. IMH closure was achieved in 30/34 eyes (88.2%) in the conventional ILM peeling group and 33/37 eyes (89.2%) in the fovea-sparing ILM peeling group. Particularly, IMH closure was achieved in 13/17 eyes that received gas tamponade with 20% SF6 and 20/20 eyes that received that with 15% С3F8 in the latter group. The rate of correct IMH closure pattern was substantially higher (64% versus 47%) and median postoperative BCVA (IQR), significantly better (0.55 (0.35-0.7) versus 0.43 (0.35-0.6), р = 0.039) in the fovea-sparing ILM peeling group than in the conventional ILM peeling group. An analysis of variance found a significant effect of the type of IMH surgery and IMH closure pattern on the postoperative BCVA (F1 = 5.06, p = 0.027; F2 = 7.9, p = 0.0001). In both groups, we found a significant thinning of the total retinal thickness in the central 1-mm foveal zone at 3 months compared to 1 month after surgery. There was a significant thinning of the outer and inner retinal layers in the conventional ILM peeling group, and no significant thickness changes in the retinal layers in the fovea-sparing group.

Conclusion: Our fovea-sparing ILM peeling technique is an effective treatment option for IMHs, and when used with gas tamponade with 15% С3F8, enabled a primary surgery IMH closure rate of 100%.

Background: In recent years, there have been individual reports on intracameral chemotherapy (ICC) for aqueous seeding in retinoblastoma. The effect of melphalan on the structures of the ocular anterior segment (including the cornea, iris and anterior lens capsule) is however, still unknown, since no relevant experimental studies have been carried out so far.
Purpose: To experimentally assess the changes in the rabbit anterior segment induced by intracameral injection of various concentrations of the alkylating cytostatic melphalan.
Material and Methods: Twelve adult Chinchilla rabbits (22 eyes; age, 5–6 months; weight, 2.5–3 kg) were involved in this experimental study and maintained in the vivarium of the Filatov institute in separate cages under standard conditions.
Results: After a 5-µg melphalan injection, corneal and iris changes were reversible and the lens was still clear. With an increase in melphalan concentration in injection solution (to 10, 15 and 20 µg) and time point (to 1 month and 3 weeks) after injection, degenerative changes in some epithelial cells of the iris became irreversible, anterior capsular cataract developed, but the cornea and anterior chamber aqueous remained clear. After a single 20-µg intracameral injection of melphalan, there was depigmentation of the iris, posterior synechia and anterior capsular cataract.
Conclusion: Clinical and ultrastructural responses of ocular anterior segment tissue to intracameral melphalan injection depended on the injected dose and time point after injection. Most cells of examined tissues showed the capability to restore their ultrastructure following ceasing of the toxic effect of the drug.
Business Performance during Crisis: A Case Study of Albania in the Period of COVID-19

Albanian businesses, similar to global ones, encountered nu­merous issues in coping with the various challenges that the COVID-19 pan­demic manifested. The uncertainties of the moment, as well as those which many see in the long term, reinforced the role that certain aspects of running a business have in their survival and success. According to the studies con­ducted over the last three years, there was a boom in the financing and tech­nology embraced by businesses to adapt to the situation. The systematic lit­erature review delineates a synopsis of the empirical analysis that various researchers provided as a contribution to overcoming the socio-economic impasse and the prudent management of uncertain future situations. The authors of this paper, given the importance of the factors considered in the study, looked into the approach applied by the “surviving” businesses in Al­bania to withstand the crisis. In the unfolded results, the scarcity of embrac­ing technology in doing business is still surprising.

Hrvatska je 1. srpnja 2013. godine postala članica Europske unije te se time ujedno i obvezala uvesti euro kao nacionalnu valutu čim na to bude spremna. Kada se makroekonomska situacija Hrvatske počela razvijati u pozitivnom trendu, nastupio je ulazak u Europski Tečajni Mehanizam (ERM II) 10. srpnja 2020., svojevrsnu čekaonicu za euro koja priprema državu za veliku promjenu. Iako je Hrvatska duboko euroizirana zemlja, čekaju je mjeseci prilagodbe na euro u smislu prilagođavanja cijena, informacijsko-komunikacijskih kanala te sprečavanje mogućih kriza i šokova koji mogu pogoditi ekonomiju zemlje prilikom konverzije. Da bi se šokovi minimizirali, nastoje se ispuniti Maastrichtski kriteriji. Navedene su sve moguće pozitivne, ali i negativne posljedice koje se mogu očekivati te je kroz anketu o percepciji građana prikaza¬na njihova razina informiranosti o prelasku na euro, ali i strahovi poput povećanja cijena, inflacije, gubitka nacionalnog suvereniteta, kao i pozitivnih posljedica koje će se odražavati na turizam.
Síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño: aspectos básicos para la práctica clínica
Authors: Chavarría Mata David José , Vargas Acuña Dayana
Published: November 2023

El síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño (SAOS) es una patología cuya prevalencia se encuentra en aumento. Se caracteriza por episodios frecuentes de obstrucción de la vía aérea superior durante el sueño, lo cual da como resultado apnea – hipopnea. A pesar de que sus factores riesgo y comorbilidades se encuentran bien documentados, una cantidad no despreciable de pacientes muestra poca sintomatología o fenotipos diversos a los esperados, lo cual distrae del diagnóstico correcto en muchas ocasiones. El diagnóstico de SAOS se fundamenta en una historia clínica adecuada, examen físico, cuestionarios de tamizaje y la ayuda de la polisomnografía o, recientemente, de los equipos para el diagnóstico en el hogar (HSAT). El tratamiento de los pacientes involucra una gran gama de terapias que van desde la presión aérea positiva continua (PAP-C) y dispositivos orales, hasta procedimientos quirúrgicos.

Published: November 2023

El abuso de benzodiacepinas, fentanilo y sus análogos constituye un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. Tanto del fentanilo como de las benzodiacepinas se han elaborado derivados fabricados ilícitamente, los cuales son altamente potentes y generan sobredosis a dosis bajas. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar el impacto toxicológico en muertes asociadas por benzodiacepinas, fentanilo y sus análogos mediante una revisión bibliográfica de los últimos cinco años. Para la redacción del presente artículo se utilizaron bases de datos de la Biblioteca de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca, así como manuales de la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito (UNODC).
Varias investigaciones a nivel mundial señalan un incremento en el número de intoxicaciones y muertes cada año, como resultado del uso inadecuado de benzodiacepinas, fentanilo y sus análogos, así como la entrada al mercado ilícito de nuevos análogos del fentanilo. Muchas de las muertes como consecuencia del uso indebido de estas sustancias no figuran en las estadísticas, lo cual hace necesario que se realice una pronta actuación por parte de las autoridades sanitarias a nivel mundial para controlar esta epidemia que cada vez toma más fuerza en la sociedad.
