Published: December 2024

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a significant barrier in achieving the sustainable development and is one of the leading global public health menaces to humanity. Present study determined the antibiogram profiles of bacteria isolated from different body site infections among patients admitted to tertiary care Hospital, Punjab, Northwest India.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out using 11201 clinical samples at the tertiary care hospital Patiala from June 2023 to June 2024. Following the criteria of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute S.aureus isolates and further tested for antimicrobial activity using standard procedures
Results: From the 11201 clinical specimens processed, a total of 1638 urine, 403 blood and 2126 other body fluids (pus and sputum) were culture positive for bacterial pathogens. The prevalence of infection was highest among middle aged males in blood and other fluids where middle aged female’s predominance was found in urine infection. In urine samples, Escherichia coli (63.67%) from Gram-negative and Enterococcus (6.53%) and S. Aureus (4.45%) from gram positive were the predominant bacterial. Blood sample showed the prevalence of K. pneumonia (28.28%)amonggram negative and Enterococcus (27.79%) among gram positive. K. pneumonia (20.93%) and S. Aureus (29.25%) were predominant in other fluid infections. antimicrobial resistance pattern in all clinical samples and results suggest that most of the bacteria isolated from studied clinical samples are less susceptible ranging from 0% to 35% mostly towards penicillin, norfloxacin, Cefuroxime and ampicillin. Intermediate susceptibility ranged from 40%-85% towards amikacin, Gentamicin and Meropenem. High susceptibility varied according to bacteria and sample type and it ranged between 90%-100%. In urine sample high susceptibility was observed for P. aeruginosa (100%) and A. Baumanni (100%). In Blood samples S. aureus showed the highest susceptibility towards amikacin (100%). Many antibiotics showed 100% susceptibility in other body fluids infections such as P. aeruginosa towards Norfloxacin, S. aureus towards amoxicillin, enetrococcus towards ampicillin, gentamicin and amikacin.
Conclusion: Overall result of the present investigation showed that penicillins are least susceptible and amikacin is highly susceptible antibiotic against the studied infections. By focusing on locally prevalent antibiotic resistance patterns instead of regionally and internationally available data on antibiogram, we may ensure faster patient recovery at lower costs and avoid the unwarranted development of drug resistance.

Policy implications for nutritional health and food security among transgender and gender-diverse individuals in the United States
Authors: Schier Heather , Gunther Carolyn
Published: December 2024

Introduction: In 2021, an executive order from the Biden Ad­ministration declared a policy promoting respect, dignity, and freedom from discrimination for all individuals, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. The order directed agencies to review and, if necessary, revise existing policies to align with this principle, emphasizing the enforce­ment of laws prohibiting sex discrimination (Exec. Order No. 13988, 2021). Despite this, as of June 2023, more than 540 bills affecting the LGBTQIA+ community have been proposed in various states throughout the U.S. Among these, 220 bills spe­cifically focus on transgender, gender-diverse, and gender-nonconforming individuals (TGD). Nota­bly, over 125 of these bills seek to impede or re­strict access to essential gender-affirming health­care services, including interven­tions like puberty suppressants, hormone therapy, and surgical procedures (U.S. Department of Agri­culture Food and Nutrition Service [USDA FNS], 2022). These policies are expected to have far-reaching effects on health, which in turn have sig­nificant implica­tions for nutrition outcomes, such as disordered eating patterns and food insecurity (Lessard et al., 2021). This commentary informs nutrition pro­fessionals, including dietitians, public health nutri­tionists, healthcare providers, and poli­cymakers, who work with diverse populations, including TGD individuals. It explores the down­stream implications of existing and proposed poli­cies on the nutritional health and food security of TGD individuals. Furthermore, it explores oppor­tunities for action and advocates for inclusive pol­icy reforms and improved access to resources.

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) on the identification and prevention of bacteria that could pose a risk to patient meals. The study used two GMP checklists and microbiological sampling of bacteria, performed six months apart, to assess the facility’s ability to reduce bacterial counts. The results showed hygiene deficiencies in all areas of the hospital. However, there was a significant improvement in GMP compliance following the implementation of an action plan (p = 0.0234). Before the intervention, 55.55% of the criteria were compliant and after the intervention, 69.63% were compliant. Surfaces involved in raw material handling were identified as the most critical in terms of contamination, with high levels of aerobic mesophilic count, Enterobacteriaceae, and Listeria monocytogenes. The intervention significantly reduced the number of bacteria on these surfaces (p < 0.05). Before, the aerobic mesophilic ranged from 0.00 to 6.34 log CFU/cm², and after, from 0.00 to 4.31 log CFU/cm². Additional testing of incoming materials, food, and hands showed no significant risk. The study highlighted the importance of good hand hygiene, which improved after extensive staff training. The GMP guideline and microbiological characterization of the production areas in the hospital kitchens were essential for understanding and acting on bacterial contamination.

This paper explores the transformative potential of digital health tools in addressing the challenges associated with these disorders. We provide an overview of various developmental disorders, discussing their prevalence and impact on children, families, and society. The paper then examines the types of digital health tools available, including mobile applications, telemedicine, and wearable devices, highlighting recent technological innovations that enhance their efficacy. The benefits and limitations of these tools are evaluated to provide a balanced perspective. Furthermore, we explore strategies for effective management, emphasizing integrated care models that incorporate digital health tools, and the essential role of parental and caregiver involvement. Policy and ethical considerations, such as data privacy, equity of access, and the ethical use of artificial intelligence, are also discussed to ensure responsible deployment. The paper concludes with recommendations for healthcare providers, policymakers, and stakeholders on effectively leveraging digital health tools to improve early detection and management of developmental disorders in children. By addressing these factors, we aim to foster a more inclusive and responsive healthcare system that better supports the developmental needs of all children.

PURPOSE. To examine the professional preferences of surgeons that influence the selection of drainage devices in glaucoma surgery.

METHODS. The working hypothesis suggested that the choice of drainage for glaucoma surgery may be influenced by subjective criteria, i.e., the "professional preferences" of ophthalmic surgeons. The study involved a descriptive cross-sectional retrospective survey of 21 ophthalmic surgeons from 8 different clinics who practice drainage surgery for glaucoma. They were asked to subjectively choose the optimal method from the commonly used drainage implants in Russia. Respondents answered standardized open-ended questions. Some questions focused on surgeons' attitudes toward different drainage implants used in Russia (resorbable, partially resorbable, and non-resorbable types).

RESULTS. The resorbable drainage Glautex TDA (by HiBiTech LLC) was selected as the drainage of choice by 6 (28.5%) surgeons. The partially resorbable MP drainage (by OOO Makmedi) and the resorbable drainage Xenoplast (by OOO Transkontakt) were chosen by 3 (14%) surgeons each. Ahmed valve was preferred by 4 (19%), Ex-PRESS shunt by 2 (9.5%), and autologous implants by 2 (9.5%): autologous sclera by 1 (4.8%) and anterior lens capsule by 1 (4.8%).

CONCLUSION. The most commonly chosen drainage device was Glautex, but 71.5% of the surgeons had other preferences. The working hypothesis was confirmed. The survey results should be considered personal preferences, not a medical consensus on the problem of glaucoma surgery. A comparative, objective analysis of the advantages of one drainage over another based on this simple survey is not possible, as the method does not provide reliable primary results. The surveyed surgeons currently do not have a consensus on the optimal drainage device for glaucoma surgery. Their practices differ significantly, and they did not report reliable data on long-term surgical outcomes. The perspectives and preferences expressed could only be obtained through an anonymized survey.
Peripapillary choriocapillaris blood flow in glaucoma. Part 2. Peripapillary choriocapillaris dropout and its relationship to the progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy
Authors: Kurysheva N. I. , Kim V. Yu. , Kim V. E.
Published: December 2024

Choriocapillaris dropout within the beta zone of peripapillary choroidal atrophy is a significant marker in glaucoma diagnosis. This marker is associated with retinal nerve fiber layer thinning, retinal ganglion cell loss, and visual field deterioration. This review highlights data showing a correlation between choriocapillaris blood flow and the progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, suggesting that choriocapillaris dropout serves as a vital biomarker for glaucoma progression, and provides literature evidence on how choriocapillaris blood flow changes relate to glaucoma treatment.
Amor al prójimo: interioridad y correctivo de las relaciones humanas en Søren Kierkegaard
Authors: David Giraldo Jhoan Sebastian , Sánchez Marín Leandro
Published: December 2024

Søren Kierkegaard se autodefinía como el espía del cristianismo, con la misión de revelar su verdadero significado en un mundo que se llama cristiano pero no lo es. Señala problemas sociales, sin descuidar la importancia de la interioridad en el amor cristiano, que impiden que el cristianismo se viva según las Escrituras, que mandan amar al prójimo como a uno mismo. Este amor cristiano es una exigencia radical que busca superar el egoísmo y fomentar relaciones auténticas y saludables. Kierkegaard subraya que el amor cristiano debe desarrollarse desde la interioridad de los individuos singulares (Enkelte) y actuar como correctivo en las relaciones humanas, que están deterioradas. Este texto expone una praxis del amor que, para Kierkegaard, adquiere un carácter correctivo de las relaciones malogradas que no pueden llevar a cabo el mandato de la ley, para el fomento de relaciones sanas.
Propuesta de fitorremediacion de coliformes totales y Escherichia Coli mediante la implementación de islas flotantes en aguas negras
Authors: Del Pezo Loaiza Nancy , Fuentes César
Published: December 2024

Las aguas residuales domésticas contienen altas concentraciones de contaminantes, entre ellos coliformes totales y Escherichia coli indicadora de materia fecal. Las aguas residuales sin tratamiento causan enfermedades gastrointestinales: amebiasis, cólera, salmonelosis y tifoidea. El objetivo del estudio fue diseñar un sistema fitodepurador mediante islas flotantes utilizando sustratos vegetales: Lemna minor y Salvinia auriculata. Al inicio del bioensayo se colocó por triplicado islas con las especies antes mencionadas, las especies combinadas y un control abiótico. El tiempo de retención fue de 8 días, realizando análisis microbiológicos al inicio del bioensayo, al quinto día y finalmente al octavo día. Se obtuvo un porcentaje de remoción de E. coli, de 99,99% para Salvinia auriculata, 99,95% para Lemna minor y de 99,98% para el tratamiento combinado. La efectividad de remoción de coliformes totales en los tratamientos fue Salvinia auriculata (99,89%), Lemna minor (99,74%) y en el tratamiento combinado (99,84%). Se recomienda implementar esta técnica en sistemas controlados para evitar eutrofización debido a la rápida reproducción de estas especies.
Atresia anal: reporte de un caso
Authors: Huerta Gil Dr. Andrés Jesús , Rivera Morales Dra. Emily Nicole
Published: December 2024

Objetivo: Describir el caso de una paciente con atresia anal.
Introducción: El ano imperforado o atresia anal es una malformación anorrectal congénita en la que no existe una abertura anal normal al nacer. Aproximadamente la mitad de los pacientes con atresia anal también tienen anomalías de otros sistemas de órganos. El diagnóstico tardío puede ocurrir en uno de cada cinco recién nacidos, a pesar de la evaluación posparto de rutina. Tal retraso puede aumentar la morbilidad y la mortalidad.
Reporte de Caso: Femenina de 2 meses y 15 días de edad, quien acudió en compañía de su madre a primer control de niño sano en un centro de salud tipo A en una parroquia rural.
Discusión: En esta paciente es importante destacar que no había recibido ningún control médico hasta que llego a nuestro centro de salud a los 2 meses y 25 días de nacida. Durante la exploración física se evidencio la ausencia de ano y la evacuación de heces a través de la vagina (cloaca) si bien es cierto que el diagnóstico tardío puede ocurrir en uno de cada cinco recién nacidos, en esta paciente el retraso fue de más de 2 meses lo cual no pudimos encontrar casos similares en la literatura.

Este estudio tiene como objetivo minimizar los costos de las ventas de la tienda “Candies” debido a la acumulación de los productos en stock. Esta problemática se da a partir de la realización de pedidos quincenales constantes por cantidades fijas, sin tomar en cuenta la variabilidad de la demanda. Se plantea entonces la alternativa de implementar un Algoritmo Genético (GA) en Microsoft Excel mediante Visual Basic para Aplicaciones y Macros para realizar una proyección correspondiente al inventario del año 2020, en el que se determine la cantidad de unidades por las que debe hacerse cada reabastecimiento. Para la aplicación del algoritmo se toman los datos históricos de la demanda de los tres años anteriores: 2017, 2018 y 2019; cabe mencionar que se aplica simulación de Montecarlo para generar los datos del segundo semestre del año 2019. Como resultado se obtuvo una reducción de aproximadamente 100 productos y más menos $70 dólares con respecto a los años anteriores, lo que significa un aumento del 18% en los beneficios anuales de los productos. En conclusión, la proyección generada con el algoritmo genético provee una reducción significativa de los costos de ventas, ya que reduce la cantidad de productos que usualmente se desperdician dada su caducidad antes de ser despachados. Automatizar la implantación del AG mediante Macros y Visual Basic reduce los tiempos de ejecución y el esfuerzo computacional.
Los tratados bilaterales de inversión y su incidencia en la soberanía de las naciones
Authors: Soria Vladimir , Briones Yessenia
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo hizo una revisión de la evolución normativa e institucional de la relación entre los Estados y la Inversión Extranjera Directa en el último medio siglo, analizando desde aquellos casos de expropiación y nacionalización en el contexto de a guerra fría hasta llegar al momento actual de globalización neoliberal en el cual son las Corporaciones transnacionales las que han llegado a amenazar la soberanía de las naciones. Se analizaron los Tratados Bilaterales de Inversión, su naturaleza y las cláusulas que éstos imponen a los Estados receptores de Inversión Extranjera Directa. También se expusieron los sesgos de los sistemas de arbitraje, que fallan a favor de los intereses corporativos a costa de imponer injustas cargas a las finanzas de los países en desarrollo. Luego de evidenciar el carácter ilegítimo del CIADI y los otros sistemas de arbitraje, se concluye reflexionado de la pertinencia de una auditoría a estos instrumentos internacionales; así como la necesidad de tener un organismo regional de solución de controversias entre los Estados de la región y el poder corporativo transnacional.
