Authors: Escalona-Marfil Carles , Coda Andrea , Ruiz-Moreno Jorge , Riu-Gispert Lluís Miquel , Gironès Xavier
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND

Accurate measurement of pain is required to improve its management and in research. The visual analog scale (VAS) on paper format has been shown to be an accurate, valid, reliable, and reproducible way to measure pain intensity. However, some limitations should be considered, some of which can be implemented with the introduction of an electronic VAS version, suitable to be used both in a tablet and a smartphone.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to validate a new method of recording pain level by comparing the traditional paper VAS with the pain level module on the newly designed Interactive Clinics app.

METHODS

A prospective observational cross-sectional study was designed. The sample consisted of 102 participants aged 18 to 65 years. A Force Dial FDK 20 algometer (Wagner Instruments) was employed to induce mild pressure symptoms on the participants’ thumbs. Pain was measured using a paper VAS (10 cm line) and the app.

RESULTS

Intermethod reliability estimated by ICC(3,1) was 0.86 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.81 to 0.90, indicating good reliability. Intramethod reliability estimated by ICCa(3,1) was 0.86 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.81 to 0.90, also indicating good reliability. Bland-Altman analysis showed a difference of 0.175 (0.49), and limits of agreement ranged from –0.79 to 1.14.

CONCLUSIONS

The pain level module on the app is highly reliable and interchangeable with the paper VAS version. This tool could potentially help clinicians and researchers precisely assess pain in a simple, economic way with the use of a ubiquitous technology.
Hospital Bring-Your-Own-Device Security Challenges and Solutions: Systematic Review of Gray Literature (Preprint)
Authors: Wani Tafheem Ahmad , Mendoza Antonette , Gray Kathleen
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND

As familiarity with and convenience of using personal devices in hospitals help improve the productivity, efficiency, and workflow of hospital staff, the health care bring-your-own-device (BYOD) market is growing consistently. However, security concerns owing to the lack of control over the personal mobile devices of staff, which may contain sensitive data such as personal health information of patients, make it one of the biggest health care information technology (IT) challenges for hospital administrations.

OBJECTIVE

Given that the hospital BYOD security has not been adequately addressed in peer-reviewed literature, the aim of this paper was to identify key security challenges associated with hospital BYOD usage as well as relevant solutions that can cater to the identified issues by reviewing gray literature. Therefore, this research will provide additional practical insights from current BYOD practices.

METHODS

A comprehensive gray literature review was conducted, which followed the stepwise guidelines and quality assessment criteria set out by Garousi et al. The searched literature included tier 1 sources such as health care cybersecurity market reports, white papers, guidelines, policies, and frameworks as well as tier 2 sources such as credible and reputed health IT magazines, databases, and news articles. Moreover, a deductive thematic analysis was conducted to organize the findings based on Schlarman’s People Policy Technology model, promoting a holistic understanding of hospitals’ BYOD security issues and solutions.

RESULTS

A total of 51 sources were found to match the designed eligibility criteria. From these studies, several sociotechnical issues were identified. The major challenges identified were the use of devices with insufficient security controls by hospital staff, lack of control or visibility for the management to maintain security requirements, lack of awareness among hospital staff, lack of direction or guidance for BYOD usage, poor user experience, maintenance of legal requirements, shortage of cybersecurity skills, and loss of devices. Although technologies such as mobile device management, unified endpoint management, containerization, and virtual private network allow better BYOD security management in hospitals, policies and people management measures such as strong security culture and staff awareness and training improve staff commitment in protecting hospital data.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings suggest that to optimize BYOD security management in hospitals, all 3 dimensions of the security process (people, policy, and technology) need to be given equal emphasis. As the nature of cybersecurity attacks is becoming more complex, all dimensions should work in close alignment with each other. This means that with the modernization of BYOD technology, BYOD strategy, governance, education, and relevant policies and procedures also need to adapt accordingly.
Віддалені результати корекції метаболічних порушень при синдромі полікістозних яєчників після лікування метформіном
Authors: Korytko O.O. , Pankiv I.V.
Published: February 2020

Актуальність. Синдром полікістозних яєчників (СПКЯ) — поліморфне захворювання з надзвичайно варіабельною клінічною картиною та різними фенотипами, що відзначається у 5–10 % жінок репродуктивного віку. Протягом життя у жінок із СПКЯ в 10 разів підвищується ризик розвитку цукрового діабету (ЦД) 2-го типу, в 7 разів — артеріальної гіпертензії та ішемічної хвороби серця, в тому числі інфаркту міокарда, більш ніж удвічі — онкологічних захворювань яєчників, ендометрію, молочної залози. Мета дослідження — проведення аналізу динаміки показників інсулінорезистентності, дисліпідемії, порушеної толерантності до глюкози після лікування метформіном у пацієнток із СПКЯ з використанням показників індексів Caro та НОМА-IR. Матеріали та методи. Проаналізовані 26 історій хвороби пацієнток із СПКЯ, яким за період з 2012 по 2018 р. проводили терапію метформіном протягом шести місяців з моменту постановки діагнозу. Всім пацієнткам в 2018 р. було проведене дослідження ліпідного спектра крові, стандартний глюкозотолерантний тест і дослідження вмісту імунореактивного інсуліну в плазмі венозної крові. Оцінку стану вуглеводного обміну проводили за допомогою розрахункових показників індексів Caro та НОМА-IR. Результати. Результатом застосування метформіну у 26 жінок із СПКЯ й інсулінорезистентністю стало вірогідне зниження рівня імунореактивного інсуліну натще (з 21,4 ± 2,3 до 6,9 ± 0,8 мкОД/мл; р = 0,005) через 6 місяців, в той час як значущих змін рівня глікемії натще не спостерігалося. Відповідно, показник НОМА-IR знизився з 4,38 ± 1,26 до 1,17 ± 0,18 (р = 0,01), а індекс Caro підвищився з 0,24 ± 0,05 до 0,58 ± 0,14 (р = 0,02). Оцінка показників ліпідного обміну через 6 місяців після початку лікування метформіном підтвердила вірогідне зниження рівня холестерину з 5,4 ± 0,3 до 3,6 ± 0,5 ммоль/л (р = 0,01) і рівня тригліцеридів з 1,7 ± 0,2 до 0,8 ± 0,2 ммоль/л (р = 0,03). Обстеження, проведене у 2018 р. в цих же пацієнток, засвідчило збільшення маси тіла не тільки порівняно з показниками через 6 місяців після лікування метформіном, але і з початковими. Спостерігалося вірогідне підвищення рівня холестерину при обстеженні в 2018 р. до 6,7 ± 0,4 ммоль/л (р = 0,01 порівняно з показником після лікування метформіном). Висновки. Жінки із СПКЯ та інсулінорезистентністю, дисліпідемією мають найбільший ризик розвитку ЦД і серцево-судинної патології. Застосування метформіну розглядається як потенційно ефективний метод для подолання інсулінорезистентності, поліпшення гормональних, біохімічних параметрів і можливого зниження кардіоваскулярного ризику при СПКЯ.

Authors: RASHEEDAT ABIDOYE OLADAYO , AYINDE AKINPELU DAVID , ALAYANDE KAZEEM ADEKUNLE , OLADELE AGUNBIADE MAYOWA
Published: February 2020

Objective: Investigations were carried out on cidal effects of crude extract and fractions obtained from stem bark of Psidium guajava against a panel of 74 strains of Escherichia coli and Shigella dysenteriae implicated in diarrhea and dysentery infections.

Methods: Powdered sample of the stem bark was extracted in methanol/distilled water (3:2) and then partitioned into different organic solvents. The fractions obtained were subjected to antibacterial tests against a panel of bacterial strains. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) were determined using agar dilution method while the mode of action of the active fractions was investigated through time-kill dynamics and leakages of proteins and potassium ions from the cells.

Results: All partitioned fractions except the aqueous fraction exhibited antibacterial activities against the panel of bacterial strains at a final concentration of 10 mg/mL. The MIC exhibited by the crude extract against susceptible bacterial strains ranged between 1.56 mg/mL and 12.5 mg/mL, while the MIC for the four fractions ranged between 0.31 mg/mL and 5.0 mg/mL. The MBC ranged between 3.13–12.5 mg/mL and 0.63–5.0 mg/mL for the crude extract and fractions, respectively. The time-kill assay revealed that the percentage of the cells killed increase with an increase in the concentrations of the fractions as well as contact time intervals. Proteins and potassium ions leakages from the bacterial cells followed the same trend with that of time-kill assay.

Conclusion: The stem bark extracts of P. guajava exhibited appreciable bactericidal effects on bacterial strains associated with diarrhea and dysentery in humans.

Published: February 2020

Objective: The present study was aimed to rationalize the scientific basis in traditional use of Eranthemum capense as an antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory agent.

Methods: Agar well diffusion method is widely used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the E. capense aerial part of methanolic and ethyl acetate plant extracts. The same amount (15–20 mL) of Mueller-Hinton agar was poured on glass Petri plates of same size and allowed to solidify. E. capense aerial part of methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts was evaluated in vitro for their anti-inflammatory activities using the bovine serum albumin protein denaturation assay.

Results: The result of the study shows that methanolic exract (T3) of the plant, E. capense shows 16 mm zone of inhibition against Pseudomonas fluorescens, while the ethyl acetate extract of the same plant shows 14 mm zone of inhibition against P. fluorescens and E. coli. Hence the methanolic extract of T3 sample shows the antibacterial activity against gram negative bacteria, where as the ethyl acetate extract of T3 shows antibacterial activity against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The experimental report revealed that, the methanolic and ethyl acetate extract of the same plant produces zero percentage zone of inhibition against Aspergillus niger and Mucor, hence it does not show any antifungal activity.

Conclusion: It is observed that the EA and methanolic extract of E. capense can be used in the treatment of inflammation due to the significant percentage of inhibition of protein denaturation as well as its prove the good antimicrobial agent.

Objective: The experiment aimed to find out the effectiveness of Zileuton, a 5-LOX inhibitor on depressive behavior and neuroinflammation in vivo.

Method: Male ICR mice (25-30g) randomly distributed Veh+Veh, CRS+Vehicle, CRS+ZIL50, and CRS+ZIL100. Zileuton was orally given in the treatment groups for 21 days after 3 weeks of stress induce CRS model. Starting from the day 1, in CRS model, mice were immobilized 8 hr/day for consecutive 21 days to induce stress. After completing the drug administration, subjected the mice for behavioral tests, and then performed histopathological & Western Blotting.

Result: Stress induces CRS model guide to the significant depressive-like behavior of the mice in behavioral tests which was united by adverse changes at the cellular/molecular level responsible for regulation of inflammatory and apoptotic processes. CRS triggered Microglial over activation in the DG of the hippocampus, which was successfully inhibited by Zileuton post-treatment at the dose of 100mg/kg than 50mg/kg. Level of TNF-α, IL- 1β, nuclear NF-κB p65, Bax, and cleaved Caspase-3 was high and Bcl-2 expression was low in the stress induce CRS -treated mice which were found to be opposite in the Zileuton (100mg/kg). However, the dose of 50mg/kg less to mimic the effects as exhibited more by the 100mg/kg dose of Zileuton.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that selective 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor Zileuton can efficiently inhibit the depressive-like behavior/activity in CRS-induced depressive mouse model. The study is the first to show the role of 5-lipoxygenase enzyme in and Chronic Restraint Stress (CRS)-induced mice models of stress, anxiety or depression.

Ancestralidades, identidade étnica e etnicidades no centro da resistência
Authors: Oliveira Viviane Sales , De Santana Marise
Published: February 2020

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão a respeito da etnicidade a partir de interpretações de elementos simbólicos identificados nas narrativas do/as entrevistados participantes de uma pesquisa de campo realizada numa comunidade tradicional religiosa de matriz africana, sobre ancestralidade. Possibilitando, assim, a compreensão do real e os sentidos étnicos e suas etnicidades. Considerando, portanto, essa categoria como principio que norteia construções simbólicas e ainda, responsável pelos traços dos repertórios da identidade étnica e vetores de etnicidades. Para tanto, utilizou-se como metodologia, o Estudo das Formas Simbólicas - Hermenêutica de Profundidade-HP, elaborado por John B. Thompson (1995), cujo arcabouço de trabalho fundamenta-se na etnografia, tendo as análises dos dados estruturadas observando os contextos em que as formas simbólicas são produzidas e interpretadas. Essa metodologia nos proporciona uma discussão de qual etnicidade está presente nas narrativas fontes deste artigo.

O Estado Penal na pós-modernidade: a doravante cultura de controle concebida na racionalidade fatorial do risco da nova penologia
Authors: Dantas Pedro Paulo Brandão
Published: February 2020

Entender a política criminal que substancia as práticas punitivas do Estado Penal brasileiro na pós modernidade é tentar decifrar os mecanismos de (in)adaptação às sociedades de alta criminalidade. É, nesse espectro, aprofundar- se na análise da cultura de controle que urge nas instâncias de segurança pública, impregnado pela lógica de uma nova penologia que suplanta suas bases na racionalidade fatorial do risco, costurando a dinâmica da criminalização excludente.  Em vista disso, o teor desse lobor acadêmico é conjecturado para anunciação, compreensão e denuncia dos métodos que constituem a punibilidade do estado penal contemporâneo.

perigo da biotecnologia e a emergência de fundamentação ética
Authors: Nunes Camargo Leonardo
Published: February 2020

Em 1979 com a obra O princípio responsabilidade: ensaio de uma ética para a civilização tecnológica Jonas esboça que a técnica moderna se tornou um problema para a ética, principalmente quando a mesma tornou o ser humano objeto de sua investigação, porém somente em 1985 com a obra Técnica, Medicina e Ética é que o autor vai desenvolver tal problemática no campo prático. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse artigo é analisar como a biotecnologia transformou o cenário contemporâneo de acordo com o pensamento de Hans Jonas. Primeiramente, analisaremos como o autor entende a biotecnologia e seus riscos em sua obra de 1985. Posteriormente, analisaremos as características de uma ética que pretenda frear os impulsos tecnológicos, de acordo com a obra de 1979.
Impacto socioambiental de la minería a cielo abierto en Mezcala, Guerrero, México
Authors: Ramírez Macedonio José Luis , García Castro Neftalí
Published: February 2020

La minería a cielo abierto (MCA) es una de las actividades económicas que más afecta a los ecosistemas y a los asentamientos humanos cercanos. Por eso, el propósito de la presente investigación fue exponer el impacto socioambiental de la MCA relacionada con el proyecto Los Filos, localizado en Mezcala, Guerrero. Este trabajo de investigación se dividió en dos fases: primero se realizó una revisión de la literatura especializada en torno a la MCA; en esta parte del trabajo de gabinete se seleccionó información puntual con la finalidad de enfatizar los escenarios socioambientales que caracterizan a esta actividad económica y, consecuentemente, identificar los factores substanciales que han dado lugar a la reconfiguración socioambiental de Mezcala. En una segunda etapa, se realizó un muestreo no probabilístico; se contactó a un informante clave para establecer comunicación con otros actores sociales fundamentales cuya actividad cotidiana está asociada a la explotación minera que se realiza en esta localidad guerrerense. Con base en lo anterior, se identificó que, en Mezcala, la actividad minera ha ocasionado sobreexplotación de diversos recursos naturales indispensables para la extracción de oro. De hecho, se puede afirmar que el proyecto Los Filos no es sustentable, sino una actividad que afecta negativamente y a un ritmo acelerado al entorno físico. La explotación de los recursos naturales ha permitido obtener a las mineras extranjeras utilidades importantes, sin redituar beneficios económicos a la población local ni resarcir los daños ocasionados por la puesta en práctica del modelo extractivo-exportador.

Derechos humanos y unificación europea: ¿una prioridad federalista o unionista?
Authors: Domínguez Castro Luis
Published: February 2020

La violación sistemática de la dignidad humana que se vivió en Europa y Asia, por parte de las potencias totalitarias durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, colocó los derechos humanos en la agenda política de las relaciones internacionales. En este contexto, los movimientos favorables a iniciar un proceso de unificación de Europa no fueron ajenos a este interés. Tanto federalistas como unionistas abogarán por una convención europea de derechos humanos y por un Tribunal que vele por su tutela efectiva. No obstante, el ámbito de derechos amparados y la motivación para hacerlo no serán iguales. Además, Pan-Europa tuvo un papel escasamente resaltado, incluso a pesar de que sus comienzos fueron en una fecha tan temprana como 1944.
Narcotráfico y desarrollo político en el México contemporáneo
Authors: Núñez de Prado Clavell Sara
Published: February 2020

Este artículo presenta el narcotráfico como un problema multidimensional ya que afecta a una amplia panorámica de delitos y perturba la convivencia social a la vez que atenta contra las raíces del propio estado, debilitando las estructuras de poder, corrompiéndolas y haciendo cada vez más difícil la separación entre la legalidad y la industria de la droga. A partir de esta premisa se analiza la evolución del narcotráfico en México y la relación existente entre el mismo y el poder político así como su efecto en cuestiones como los derechos humanos. Finalmente se ofrecen algunas reflexiones sobre las posibles soluciones.
El sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (SICA) y la tutela de los Derechos Humanos
Authors: Santana Paisano Diana Cecilia
Published: February 2020

Los compromisos adquiridos del SICA respecto de la defensa de los Derechos Humanos están consignados en todo su entramado normativo e institucional, desde los tratados fundacionales de la integración centroamericana; los acuerdos de Esquipulas (que plantearon una visón renovada del modelo de integración en función de la democracia y la seguridad humana), pasando por el amplísimo conjunto de derechos reconocidos por el sistema interamericano que confiere jurisdicción a la Corte Interamericana  de DDHH (Corte IDH), hasta incluir el propio orden universal procedente de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), reforzándose como eslabones de protección y justicia universal, en principios que pueden ser invocados también ante la Corte Centroamericana de Justicia (CCJ), porque forman parte del propio Derecho Comunitario Centroamericano, aunque con limitaciones en cuanto las competencias judiciales específicas de la CCJ.
Tenés el mate lleno de infelices ilusiones: la estrategia de inserción internacional del gobierno de Macri (2015-2019)
Authors: Simonof Alejandro Cesar
Published: February 2020

La estrategia internacional de Cambiemos se presentó como “un giro de 180 grados” con respecto a la llevada adelante por Cristina Fernández, ya que priorizó los vínculos con los países de la tríada occidental 2 (Cué y Jiménez, 2015: 4) y se bosquejó como una construcción “globalista” 3 , para usar la conceptualización de Amado Cervo (Cervo, 2003). Aun- que las dos tendencias de esa corriente conviven dentro del gobierno de Macri (la benigna, que acepta la globalización y sus reglas, sin la más mínima confrontación con ella; y otra asimétrica, la cual, a pesar de reconocer sus dificultades, busca participar de las instituciones para influenciar en las normas que emergen y lograr ciertos objetivos), resulta clara una preponderancia de la primera.
Logros y debilidades de la macridiplomacia
Authors: CARMODY PATRICIO MATEO
Published: February 2020

La política exterior del presidente Macri procuró redefinir y recalibrar las relaciones internacionales de la Argentina en forma altamente visible. Así, en comparación a otras áreas de gobierno, la acción exterior proporcionó varios momentos de satisfacción. El esfuerzo realizado y el ritmo al que se trabajó fueron encomiables, aunque los logros obtenidos hayan convivido, a veces, con fallas conceptuales y organizacionales que opacaron el impacto de los éxitos diplomáticos. Es en este contexto que mis reflexiones se expresarán en torno a cuatro temas.
1919: la puerta de la Entreguerras; una Transición Intersistémica
Authors: Kreibohm Patricia
Published: February 2020

La Gran Guerra había terminado. Las potencias de la Triple Alianza habían sido derrotadas y se habían firmado los Acuerdos de París. Los líderes de la época, aspiraban a crear un nuevo mundo sin guerras y para ello, habían creado la Sociedad de las Naciones. Mientras tanto, Europa entraba en una nueva etapa; entraba en ella arruinada, agotada y desmoralizada. Las pérdidas materiales y humanas, la destrucción del sistema comercial y financiero de sus países, el desastre del aparato productivo y de las actividades agrícolas y artesanales, se sumaron a la sensación colectiva de inseguridad y desaliento. De hecho, ese continente que había sido el núcleo de la Civilización Occidental, sólo tenía fuerzas para abocarse a la lenta y penosa tarea de reconstrucción.

Transformations of corporatism in neoliberal era
Authors: Kanevskiy P. S.
Published: February 2020

This article is devoted to the study of the formation and current state of corporatism in Western European countries. Author shows how the evolution of corporatism took place since the XIX century and how corporatism was transforming during the XX century. Particular attention is paid to the last stage of the development of corporatism, which is associated with the evolution of neoliberalism and political pluralism. Corporatism is seen as a form of interaction between organized groups of society and the state, and as a political-ideological category rooted in medieval social philosophy. Corporatism flourished in the post-war decades, when most of the countries of Western Europe took the path of creating vertically integrated associative groups representing the interests of the main socio-economic groups, primarily business and employees. At the same time, corporatism has always been built on a clear value foundation, which implies the pursuit of public interests and the equal distribution of resources among all parties of corporate agreements. The article shows how the onset of neoliberalism led to a reduction in the role of corporatism. Since the 1990s, in those countries that traditionally lined up to the process of agreeing on and adopting key political decisions on a corporate basis, there has been an obvious pluralisation of the systems of interest groups, which is increasingly replacing the tradition and practice of corporatism. At the same time, corporatism does not disappear; in many countries it remains an important element of collective bargaining, but its nature and content are changing. We can conclude that the classic concepts of corporatism are not able to fully explain its current state, it is necessary to use new approaches that could reveal the essence of the transformations taking place.

Detecção precoce de casos suspeitos da deficiência visual em comunidade assistida pelo programa "um estudante uma família" da Universidade Lúrio, Moçambique
Authors: Mazalo João Viriato , Mazuze Avelino Nelson
Published: February 2020

A deficiência visual é caracterizada pela limitação da capacidade visual, resultante de alterações orgânicas e/ou funcionais. A realização de consultas regulares é considerada a forma mais eficiente para detecção precoce de qualquer alteração que acomete a saúde visual, sendo uma ferramenta indispensável na prevenção da deficiência visual. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo central detectar precocemente os casos suspeitos de deficiência visual na comunidade de Muatala. Realizou-se um estudo observacional, descritivo quantitativo, transversal e prospectivo, em 102 residentes da comunidade de Muatala, Nampula – Moçambique, no período entre setembro a outubro de 2018. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário e avaliação clínica, através do exame clinico da acuidade visual. Neste estudo, aplicou-se a estatística descritiva para análise dos dados. Dos 102 residentes da comunidade examinados, 39% apresentaram deficiência na acuidade visual de longe. Na avaliação dos fatores de risco que contribuem para o surgimento de casos de deficiência visual, constatou-se que, a comunidade apresentava doenças sistémicas diagnosticadas, que contribuem para o desenvolvimento de lesões a nível ocular, sendo a mais frequente a hipertensão arterial (21%) seguido da diabetes mellitus (6%).  Em relação as consultas de saúde visual, notou – se que 91% dos participantes não conheciam o seu estado de saúde visual, o que os torna vulnerável, considerando que existem doenças assintomáticas no seu estágio inicial que podem causar a cegueira irreversível. Sendo assim, pode se afirmar que a comunidade de Muatala possui casos suspeitos de deficiência visual, que necessitam de acompanhamento e intervenção precoce.
