Fenómenos embólicos y ecocardiografía transtorácica (ETT) durante cirugía de artroplastía de cadera (AC)
Authors: Gana Manuel José , Torrejón Patricio , Ghiringhelli Juan Pablo , Maturana Felipe
Published: December 2020

Durante las cirugías de prótesis de cadera y especialmente aquellas por fractura de cadera pueden presentar eventos embólicos. Las complicaciones dependen principalmente de la condición clínica preoperatoria, pudiendo incluso ser subclínico si el paciente es sano. Así, gracias al progreso de la tecnología, particularmente la ecocardiografía transesofágica (ETE) y transtoraxica (ETT), se ha logrado identificar precozmente dichos fenómenos embólicos, permitiendo anticipar y tratar oportunamente una eventual descompensación cardiorrespiratoria. Se realizó un reporte de 2 pacientes con fractura de cadera, que se sometieron a una cirugía de artroplastía de cadera (AC), en los cuales mediante la vigilancia de ETT, se logró visualizar estos eventos, principalmente durante la fenestración e impactación del cotilo en el acetábulo, presentando uno de estos pacientes un impacto hemodinámico que se trató precozmente. Las causas de las embolías pueden ser variadas, como la presión ejercida por el cirujano para fenestrar e introducir la prótesis o la destrucción del tejido circundante a la lesión durante el momento de la fractura, entre otros. Así, se pueden producir embolias de trombos, grasa, hueso o incluso aire que pueda entrar al torrente sanguíneo y producir eventualmente complicaciones. Con estos hallazgos, ecográficos y en algunas oportunidades clínicos, se podría demostrar lo crítico que es aquel período de la cirugía, en donde se requiere especial atención a los cambios hemodinámicos que se puedan producir, y en el que el anestesiólogo debe estar especialmente vigilante. Particularmente, en estos casos, en que las pacientes recibieron anestesia regional y se intervino en posición de decúbito lateral, se tuvo que realizar monitoreo mediante ETT y no ETE, lo cual entrego más limitantes a la hora de conseguir buena calidad de ventanas cardiacas y por lo tanto, después de visualizar las distintas ventanas se optó por utilizar la ventana subxifoidea para visualizar la vena Cava inferior y así observar los distintos eventos embólicos circulantes. En ambas pacientes se pudieron apreciar eventos embólicos, pero en sólo una paciente tuvo compromiso cardiorrespiratorio con hipotensión, aumento de la frecuencia cardiaca y desaturación. Junto con la demostración de la posibilidad de visualización de embolías con ETT, se destaca la relevancia de que existe mayor acceso a este tipo de ecografía en gran parte de los pabellones de nuestro país, a diferencia de la ETE, en la que la sonda utilizada es de más difícil acceso por parte de los anestesistas y requiere un mayor entrenamiento.

Authors: Cerda G Tomas , García Nicolás , Mosqueira Loreto
Published: December 2020

La extravasación intraabdominal de líquido es una complicación poco frecuente de la artroscopia de cadera que presenta un amplio rango de manifestaciones clínicas, desde leve distensión abdominal hasta síndrome compartimental y paro cardiorrespiratorio. Hay escasos reportes de casos en la literatura, por lo que la alta sospecha considerando factores de riesgo y el ultrasonido son claves para prevenir sus complicaciones y costos asociados. En este reporte, se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 29 años con dolor abdominal intenso durante el postoperatorio inmediato de una artroscopia de cadera, lo que llevó a una revisión de la literatura sobre el tema.

Authors: Babo Nuno , Reis Dina , Carreira Cláudia , Bernardino Ana
Published: December 2020

La introducción de un catéter arterial es un procedimiento realizado regularmente para evaluar la presión arterial invasiva, el gasto cardíaco y tomar muestras de sangre para su análisis. La fractura y la embolización de los catéteres arteriales son complicaciones poco frecuentes pero graves y pueden causar trombosis u oclusión de la arteria. La ecografía puede usarse para identificar el fragmento intravascular, pero la extracción puede ser compleja. Presentamos un caso de fractura intravascular del catéter de la arteria radial confirmada por ecografía y extirpada quirúrgicamente. Este caso señala la necesidad de prestar atención a esta complicación cuando se usa el monitoreo invasivo, para evitar complicaciones futuras para los enfermos.

Tromboembolia pulmonar como complicación de COVID-19 en el puerperio. Reporte de un caso
Authors: Maldonado Miguel Calva , Carrasco Vera Carlos , García Contreras Noemí Judith
Published: December 2020

El 31 de diciembre de 2019, se detectó en la ciudad de Wuhan (China) un brote de neumonía por un nuevo coronavirus designado como SARS-CoV-2. Desde el punto de vista clínico se encontró que los pacientes pueden desarrollar desde un cuadro leve de afección en vías respiratorias altas hasta cuadros de neumonía grave que se asocian a distrés respiratorio progresando a insuficiencia respiratoria grave. Se ha descrito que la infección predispone a fenómenos de hipercoagulabilidad y trombosis de localización venosa, reconociendo el tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP) como el más frecuente. El embarazo es un estado fisiológico con alto riesgo para el desarrollo de complicaciones tromboembólicas, aumentando los factores de riesgo para TEP durante el parto y puerperio. En el contexto de la asociación de infección por SARS-CoV-2 y embarazo existen pocos informes alrededor del mundo al ser una patología reciente. En México, según registros epidemiológicos oficiales, el COVID-19 se ha convertido en la principal causa de muerte materna superando a los eventos preclámpticos y la hemorragia obstétrica, que hasta hace algunos meses, eran la primera causa. Se presenta el caso de una paciente diagnosticada con el nuevo coronavirus que, en el curso del puerperio mediato, desarrolla tromboembolia pulmonar causándole la muerte.

Objetivo: identificar os riscos e benefícios sobre a pratica de consumo não prescrito da Ritalina no Brasil. Métodos: Trata-se de uma Revisão Integrativa da Literatura, considerando artigos publicados nas bases de dados por meio dos descritores: Psicofármacos, Metilfenidato, Ritalina e Medicamentos, no período de 2014 a 2018. Resultados: Resultou-se em 5.224.529 publicações que após análise, chegou-se a 11 artigos que abordavam o tema. Resultou-se na construção de três categorias: experiência com o uso do medicamento, estratégias de obtenção do metilfenidato, potenciais riscos e benefícios do uso de metilfenidato. Considerações finais: Conclui-se que o consumo de metilfenidato apresenta diversos efeitos colaterais e adversos como: sonolência ou insônia, alucinações, problemas cardiovasculares, psicose, dependência e depressão, principalmente se for consumido de forma não prescrita. Portanto, entende-se que ainda há a necessidade de investir em programas de fiscalizações de medicações, assim como em programas de educação sobre os riscos e benefícios dos psicoestimulantes, evitando o processo medicalizante entre a indústria farmacêutica e a medicinam.

Mycotic (Infected) Pseudoaneurysm, a Diagnostic Challenge – Case Series
Authors: Sharma Praveen K , Garisa Sai Sindhura , Kumaran S. Vinod , Varma Sparsh
Published: December 2020

Mycotic pseudoaneurysm (or infected pseudoaneurysm) is an infectious arteritis, leading to the destruction of the arterial wall with the formation of a blind, saccular outpouching contiguous with the arterial lumen. Delayed management or non-management of mycotic pseudoaneurysms is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to complications such as arterial rupture, hemorrhage, and fulminant sepsis. Earlier diagnosis of mycotic pseudoaneurysm is essential for time management. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is a widely used imaging modality for detecting the mycotic pseudoaneurysm, its characterization, and vascular mapping. MDCT findings of mycotic pseudoaneurysm are blind, saccular outpouching of an artery with irregular arterial wall, perivascular soft-tissue mass, or edema. Uncommon results of MDCT include arterial lumen thrombosis, arterial wall calcification, and perivascular gas. Management of mycotic pseudoaneurysm includes endovascular stenting with graft repair, endovascular embolization, open surgery, medical therapy (intravenous antibiotics), or a combination of these. We report three cases of mycotic pseudoaneurysm affecting aortic isthmus, a segmental branch of the pulmonary artery, and the internal mammary artery. All cases posed a diagnostic challenge, which only on subsequent imaging revealed to be a mycotic pseudoaneurysm.

Published: December 2020

The speciality rice variety such as Basmati and Jasmine maybe not be very suitable to
plant under the Malaysian climate because the growth may be influenced by the changes
in the environmental conditions causing the changes of its physical and chemical
characters and results in low yield. Thus, an attempt was made through a hybridisation
program among selected Malaysian rice varieties consist of MRQ50, MRQ74, MRQ76,
MR219, Mahsuri Mutant, and Mahsuri Mutant 98 with Indian traditional rice, Basmati
370 with the main objectives, to compare the kernel elongation ratio of each cross and to
determine the potential and suitable combination among crosses rice for further evaluation
program. The results of the study indicated that among parental lines, Basmati 370 posed
the highest elongation ratio 2.00 which revealed its speciality elongation trait of cooked
rice. A comparison between crosses, rice cross between Basmati 370 and Mahsuri Mutant
98 showed the highest elongation ratio with the value 2.12 and the lowest elongation ratio
of about 1.96 was found in rice cross between Basmati 370 and MR219. However, all
hybridised rice poses a value of elongation ratio more than 1.6 which is considered good
kernel elongation. The segregation pattern of all crosses also posed a ratio 3:1 whereas
three is low elongation and one is high elongation which demonstrated the Mendelian
inheritance of monogenic cross. The results obtained from this study could contribute to
the existing literature on speciality rice production in Malaysia and beneficial for future
rice quality improvement program.
Essential oil from Piperaceae as a potential for biopesticide agents: a review
Authors: Abdullah N.A. , Zain W.Z.W.M. , Hamid H.A. , Ramli N.W.
Published: December 2020

This review is aimed to present information on the properties of Piperaceae which can be
potentially used as a biopesticide. The chemical compounds involved in were different as
each species consist of different amount of secondary metabolites which then leads to
different properties. In recent years, several reports have been published regarding the
composition and the biological activities of the essential oils of Piper species. These
studies have highlighted the existence of marked chemical differences among oils
extracted from different species or varieties. Analysis of volatile constituents from
Piperaceae species has revealed the presence of monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and
arylpropanoids that have shown interesting biological properties including cytotoxic,
fungistatic, insecticide, molluscicidal, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Essential
oils are natural complex secondary metabolites characterized by strong odour, volatility
and have generally lower density than water. Due to their volatility, essential oils are
environmentally non-persistent. On top of that, essential oils are ‘generally recognized as
safe’ by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since technology has
become more advanced, people started to replace synthetic pesticide with bio-pesticide.
The demand for EO has increased as it has biological properties that can be used to
replace synthetic pesticide
A case study of consumer preferences towards different brands of palm oil in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia
Authors: Ibrahim M.I.S. , Abdul Fatah F. , Saili A.R.
Published: December 2020

The palm oil industry has played a vital role in the economic development of Malaysia
and the economic expansion in developing countries primarily drove the growth in palm
oil consumption. However, consumer preference towards palm oil products is changing
due to the population increase, rapid urbanisation, rising income levels, development of
communication tools, and negative campaign towards palm oil. Hence, this study was
conducted to identify consumers’ preferences towards palm oil to understand this
predicament further. In this study, the data were obtained from 107 respondents through
convenient sampling from different supermarkets in Shah Alam, Selangor. Moreover,
factors such as socioeconomic, marketing, and non-marketing factors were investigated,
which employed descriptive analysis, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis.
The results showed that majority of the respondents were Malay females, married, and
were in the age range between 31 and 40 years old. Most of these respondents completed
secondary schools and were now working in public and private sectors with a monthly
income between RM2001 and RM3000. It was found that most of the respondents
purchased the bottled “Saji” brand palm oil at least once a month, and advertising was the
primary source of brand information for the respondents. Furthermore, the multiple
regression analysis of marketing factors revealed that product and price were the most
significant factors that influenced consumer preferences towards palm oil. Meanwhile,
non-marketing factors indicated that the quality of products, as well as advertising or
campaign, were the significant determinants which affected consumer preferences towards
palm oil. On that basis, this article proposed a few recommendations to enhance consumer
preferences towards palm oil in the future.
Insights of women’s empowerment and decision-making in rice production in Malaysia
Authors: Amran F.N.F. , Abdul Fatah F.
Published: December 2020

Women's empowerment is essential in achieving global food security while being
prioritised as one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda. Even though a
women’s empowerment role in agriculture received wide attention in works of literature,
there is still a research gap about women’s empowerment in Malaysia's agriculture. This
study contributes to the status of women’s empowerment and its determinants, as well as
challenges to enhance women’s empowerment among rice smallholders in Selangor,
Malaysia. By using a framework adapted from the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture
Index (WEAI), 200 smallholder paddy farmers were selected using stratified random
sampling. The results revealed vital domains that contributed to women’s empowerment,
which provided access to extension services and led to effective decision-making, whereas
leadership displayed a negative association. The lack of participation in the planning
process and community groups were significant obstacles in enhancing the women's
empowerment among rice farmers. These results suggested the scope of possible
interventions and policy recommendations to enhance women’s empowerment in
agriculture.

Authors: N.A. Liyana , Pebrian D.E.
Published: December 2020

Preservation of energy resources for crop production is a crucial act in an endeavour to
make agriculture more sustainable. In response to that matter, this study aims to analyse
and evaluate energy use pattern and its economic in rockmelon (Cucumis melo)
production in Malaysian farms. Face-to-face interviews with the sampled farmers were
employed to collect the data through a case study in Klang district, Selangor state of
Malaysia. The collected data was then analysed using mathematical operations and
spreadsheet software. The results indicated that the total energy inputs in rockmelon were
4475.62 MJ/ha. The highest portion, which accounted for 73.29% of the total energy
inputs were consumed by fertilizers, while the lowest portion was used for seed (0.01%).
The total energy inputs were formed from 85.12% indirect energy and 14.88% direct
energy; and 85% non-renewable energy and 15% renewable energy. The net energy and
energy productivity values were 11332.85 MJ/ha and 2.81 kg/MJ, respectively. The
farmers gained 29.94% profit margin from their farms business. The ratio of energy output
-inputs in rockmelon production was 5.34. As the ratio was much greater than 1, thus,
conclusively, the energy inputs used by the farmers in the process of rockmelon
production was highly efficient.

triggered the local growers to market their produce and rely on the middleman. Thus, this
present study was conducted to identify the challenges that affect the marketing channel
selection of smallholder pineapple growers in Samarahan, Sarawak. The primary data
used for this study were collected from 123 smallholder pineapple growers using simple
random sampling method with a well-structured close-ended questionnaire via face-toface survey. The descriptive analysis was used to describe the socio-demographic
characteristics of the pineapple growers meanwhile exploratory factor analysis (EFA)
using principal component analysis approach with orthogonal rotation (varimax) was used
to reduce data to a smaller set of summary variables and to identify the structure of the
relationship between the variables and the respondents. The findings revealed that five
main challenges have caused pineapple growers to carefully select the marketing channel
in marketing their produce namely; lack of market information; inefficient transportation;
price volatility; market distance; and product perishability. Inadequate marketing
information about supply and demand markets, potential buyers, bargaining, and
negotiation have caused concerned for the pineapple growers to take the risk in marketing
their produce to various customers. Lack of transportation facility and high transportation
cost has caused the pineapple growers to sell their produce at the farm gate to reduce
losses during the distribution channel. Moreover, the unstable pineapple price has created
a risk to the growers due to its negative effect on farm income stability. Besides, the
distance between farms and marketplace has significantly affected marketable surplus of
pineapple fruits thus resorts to the growers to rely on the middleman to market their
produce. Conclusively, all the challenges highlighted in this study should be given
adequate attention by the relevant agencies to improve and continue their effective roles in
the pineapple market and to enhance farmers’ livelihoods. This can be achieved by
strengthening the fruit supply chain management, adopting comprehensive approaches
such as policies, programs and strategies pertaining to the marketing of pineapple fruits
that require a collective effort and commitment from the public and private sectors.

Published: December 2020

Inca peanut (Plukenetia volubilis L.) leaves were used to make tea and sold as a local
product in Thailand but there is no research on the bioactivity of Inca peanut leaves. The
present study was carried out to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant
activity of Inca peanut leaves. Fresh leaves were extracted with water (FW) and hot water
(FH). Dried leaves (DH), roasted leaves (RH) and commercial tea leaves (CH) were
extracted with hot water. Their phytochemical constituents, the amount of phenolic
compounds (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and total flavonol content (TFoC) were
analyzed. The in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl
(DPPH) radical scavenging activity and 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline 6-sulfonic
acid) (ABTS) radical cation scavenging activity. The phytochemical screening revealed
the presence of phenols, flavonoids, tannin, cardiac glycosides, steroids, and terpenoids.
RH contained the highest TPC (21.36±1.90 µg GAE/mg), TFC (8.65±0.16 µg QE/mg),
TFoC (0.249±0.004 µg QE/mg) and exhibited the most potent antioxidant activity by
DPPH assay (IC50 = 135.97±6.71 µg/mL) and ABTS assay (IC50 = 37.53±3.87 µg/mL).
Flavonoid has a positive correlation with DPPH radical scavenging activity. These results
suggested that the antioxidant activity of Inca peanut leaves might be attributed to the
presence of flavonoid compounds. Roasted leaves extract exhibited the highest antioxidant
activities. Therefore, Inca peanut leaves extracts could be considered as a good source of
antioxidant and developed as a functional food.

El capital intelectual alude al conocimiento en las organizaciones que les permite generar valor. Los estudios sobre capital intelectual son abordados desde la perspectiva de las empresas, pero existen pocos que lo hayan realizado desde la perspectiva de las universidades.Esta investigación tiene por objetivo caracterizar y comparar el capital intelectual en las universidades mexicanas. El estudio se basó en una encuesta semiestructurada aplicada a 102 profesores-investigadores en cuatro universidades estatales mexicanas del área de negocios y administración. Los resultados muestran que existen seis subdimensiones relevantes del capital intelectual, a partir de las cuales se caracterizan los niveles de capital intelectual en cada universidad. Las principales conclusiones son que el capital intelectual universitario es una forma de medir el desempeño de estas organizaciones, a partir del cual identificamos un desempeño diferenciado que es liderado por la Universidad Autónom de Tamaulipas (UAT) debido a indicadores más altos en su capital humano, estructural y relacional.

Přemluv bábu, pobav sebe: postmoderní estetika v občanském politickém diskurzu
Authors: Kirkosová Kateřina
Published: December 2020

V tomto článku analyzuji virální video Přemluv bábu, které mělo ambice zasáhnout do voleb do Poslanecké sněmovny Parlamentu České republiky v roce 2010. Ke klipu přistupuji z pozice kritické diskurzivní analýzy (CDA), pracuji především s předpoklady, koncepty a analytickými nástroji Normana Fairclougha, který pomáhal CDA rozvíjet a v akademickém poli prosadit. Tvrdím, že klip Přemluv bábu těží z pružnosti, respektive uhýbavosti postmoderního diskurzu, což mohlo smysl jeho výpovědi i její naléhavost spíše oslabit a znečitelnit než podepřít. Demonstruji na příkladech a snažím se identifikovaným ambivalencím porozumět s ohledem na kontext intertextový, interdiskurzivní, situační a socio-politický.

Apel na sobeckost nebo na rozumnost? Případová analýza s využitím Toulminova modelu argumentu
Authors: Ondráček Tomáš
Published: December 2020

Příspěvek se zaobírá Toulminovým přístupem k argumentaci. Hlavním cílem je přitom představit tento přístup a ukázat jeho aplikaci na vybraném materiálu. Klíčová otázka poté zní: V čem je Toulminův přístup stále aktuální a co může při zkoumání argumentů přinést? Cíle i odpovědi na otázku je dosahováno ve dvou základních krocích. V prvním kroku je probrána teorie argumentu, jak ji Toulmin prezentuje především ve své knize The Uses of Argument. Ve druhém kroku je pak Toulminův přístup aplikován na vybraný materiál, konkrétně na videospot Přemluv bábu (2010). Pozornost je přitom věnována zejména modelu argumentu, doménové závislosti, logickým typům a druhům argumentu. V příspěvku je nakonec ukázáno, že Toulmin je stále diskutovaný a teoreticky podnětný, a také to, že jeho aplikace na vybraný materiál může poskytnout dobrá vodítka pro hodnocení tohoto materiálu i v případech, kdy toto hodnocení není možné udělat jednoznačně pomocí formálních nástrojů.
Henri Bergson a analytická filosofie
Authors: Arazim Pavel
Published: December 2020

Henri Bergson se za svého života těšil velké popularitě. Přes jistý ústup ze slávy jeho filosofie i v druhé polovině dvacátého století inspirovala např. Gillese Deleuze. Nicméně analytická filosofie Bergsonovi dosud mnoho pozornosti nevěnovala. Ačkoli na první pohled skutečně s analytickou filosofií nemá mnoho společného, najdeme v jeho díle některé myšlenky, které by si zasloužily, aby je analytická filosofie zhodnotila. Zaměříme se na Bergsonovo pojetí špatně položených otázek, které je v mnohém podobné pojetí logických pozitivistů. Dále navrhneme, v čem může spočívat jeho přínos pro teorii pravidel a normativistickou teorii významu. Obě témata jsou zde především programaticky nastíněna, jejich hlubší rozpracování je úkol pro další práci.
Augustine’s Self-Knowledge in Animals
Authors: Klozar Karel
Published: December 2020

This paper focuses on Augustine’s concept of self-knowledge or self-awareness in non-rational animals through examining the relation between external senses, internal sense and rationality. The explanation of what causes motion in non-rational living beings is quite puzzling in the case of animal’s self-perception – for what reason do they move, sense or live. This motivation is also connected to the self-preservation principle, which is one of the two sources of confusion regarding self-perception in animals; the other one is the ability of internal sense or anima to perceive themselves, other animals and humans as alive – in spite of the fact that this can in no way be sensory information.
