Background and Purpose Randomized trials proved the benefits of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for select patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) within 24 hours of last-known-well (LKW). Recent data suggest that LVO patients may benefit from MT beyond 24 hours. This study reports the safety and outcomes of MT beyond 24 hours of LKW compared to standard medical therapy (SMT).Methods This is a retrospective analysis of LVO patients presented to 11 comprehensive stroke centers in the United States beyond 24 hours from LKW between January 2015 and December 2021. We assessed 90-day outcomes using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).Results Of 334 patients presented with LVO beyond 24 hours, 64% received MT and 36% received SMT only. Patients who received MT were older (67±15 vs. 64±15 years, P=0.047) and had a higher baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS; 16±7 vs.10±9, P<0.001). Successful recanalization (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score 2b-3) was achieved in 83%, and 5.6% had symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage compared to 2.5% in the SMT group (P=0.19). MT was associated with mRS 0–2 at 90 days (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 5.73, P=0.026), less mortality (34% vs. 63%, P<0.001), and better discharge NIHSS (P<0.001) compared to SMT in patients with baseline NIHSS ≥6. This treatment benefit remained after matching both groups. Age (aOR 0.94, P<0.001), baseline NIHSS (aOR 0.91, P=0.017), Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography (ASPECTS) score ≥8 (aOR 3.06, P=0.041), and collaterals scores (aOR 1.41, P=0.027) were associated with 90-day functional independence.Conclusion In patients with salvageable brain tissue, MT for LVO beyond 24 hours appears to improve outcomes compared to SMT, especially in patients with severe strokes. Patients’ age, ASPECTS, collaterals, and baseline NIHSS score should be considered before discounting MT merely based on LKW.

Background and Purpose Intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS)-related stroke occurs due to three primary mechanisms with distinct infarct patterns: (1) borderzone infarcts (BZI) due to impaired distal perfusion, (2) territorial infarcts due to distal plaque/thrombus embolization, and (3) plaque progression occluding perforators. The objective of the systematic review is to determine whether BZI secondary to ICAS is associated with a higher risk of recurrent stroke or neurological deterioration.Methods As part of this registered systematic review (CRD42021265230), a comprehensive search was performed to identify relevant papers and conference abstracts (with ≥20 patients) reporting initial infarct patterns and recurrence rates in patients with symptomatic ICAS. Subgroup analyses were performed for studies including any BZI versus isolated BZI and those excluding posterior circulation stroke. The study outcome included neurological deterioration or recurrent stroke during follow-up. For all outcome events, corresponding risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated.Results A literature search yielded 4,478 records with 32 selected during the title/abstract triage for full text; 11 met inclusion criteria and 8 studies were included in the analysis (n=1,219 patients; 341 with BZI). The meta-analysis demonstrated that the RR of outcome in the BZI group compared to the no BZI group was 2.10 (95% CI 1.52–2.90). Limiting the analysis to studies including any BZI, the RR was 2.10 (95% CI 1.38–3.18). For isolated BZI, RR was 2.59 (95% CI 1.24–5.41). RR was 2.96 (95% CI 1.71–5.12) for studies only including anterior circulation stroke patients.Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that the presence of BZI secondary to ICAS may be an imaging biomarker that predicts neurological deterioration and/or stroke recurrence.

Authors: Mutmainah Siti
Published: May 2023

The problem of poverty occurs due to social inequality between the capable population and the underprivileged population, besides that the lack of awareness between residents to help each other is also one of the causes of poverty in Indonesia. In overcoming the problem of poverty, productive zakat is considered capable of empowering the economy of Muslims. The research method used in this study is a literature study study using data from journals, other reliable sources.The results of this study show that productive zakat distributionin the form of business capital is one of the efforts to empower the people's economy, so that mustahiks who initially only depended on zakat funds can make their own money from capital obtained from productive zakat. One of the purposes of productive zakat distribution is to change the position of mustahik to muzakki. Therefore, in the future, it is hoped that the distribution of productive zakat will continue to be carried out and improved so that it can be distributed to more mustahiks who are entitled and have the potential so that the problem of poverty that has always haunted can be eliminated immediately.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) merupakan virus baru coronavirus jenis baru (SARS-CoV-2) yang menyerupai kasus pneumonia. Virus ini pertama kali ditemukan di Wuhan, China. Pada periode awal COVID-19 di bulan Maret tahun 2020 terjadi peningkatan kasus aktif dan kasus kematian yang signifikan di Indonesia. Belum adanya pengobatan terapeutik untuk COVID-19, maka penggunaan klorouin atau oseltamivir dan obat lain yang di uji berpotensi untuk COVID-19. Penggunaan obat-obat diluar indikasi dapat menyebabkan penurunan fungsi pada beberapa organ tubuh, khususnya pada organ ginjal sebab banyak obat di eskresikan melalui ginjal. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengevaluasi kesesuaian terapi penggunaan klorokuin atau oseltamivir dengan standar Protokol Tatalaksana COVID-19 dan pengaruhnya terhadap fungsi ginjal pasien COVID-19 di instalasi rawat inap RSUP Fatmawati periode Maret-Juni 2020. Metode penelitian deskriptif observasional melalui penelusuran rekam medik pasien COVID-19 dengan subjek penelitian adalah pasien rawat inap yang terkonfirmasi COVID-19 berusia ≥ 18 tahun yang menerima klorokuin atau oseltamivir dan memiliki fungsi ginjal normal di RSUP Fatmawati. Pengaruh penggunaan klorokuin atau oseltamivir menggunakan rancangan pre dan post design yang akan di analisis menggunakan uji t berpasangan untuk melihat kadar sebelum dan sesudah peggunaan pada parameter fungsi ginjal. Hasil penelitian dari populasi yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi menunjukkan bahwa kesesuaian terapi yang diperoleh sebesar 50.44% (57 pasien) standar. Sebanyak 49.56% (56 pasien) yang tidak sesuai terapi meliputi ketidaksesuaian dosis dan durasi pemberiannya. Hasil analisis Uji Wilcoxon pada penggunaan klorokuin atau oseltamivir kadar ureum dan kreatinin serum memiliki nilai Asymp. Sig. (2tailed) < 0.05 artinya penggunaan klorokuin atau oseltamivir mempengaruhi fungsi ginjal pasien.
Ein neuer Vorschlag zur Etymologie des Flussnamens Unstrut
Authors: Bichlmeier Harald , Opfermann Andreas
Published: May 2023

Der Flussname Unstrut hat in den letzten Jahren mehrere Deutungen erfahren, die jedoch alle entweder morphologische oder semantische Ungereimtheiten enthielten: Es wurde einerseits von einer Struktur urgerm. *Un-str- (Udolph) oder aber *Unst-r- (Greule) ausgegangen, woraus jeweils nur mit unbelegbaren oder unmöglichen Zusatzannahmen die belegten Formen des Flussnamens gewonnen werden konnten. Auch die vor diesen beiden Vorschlägen übliche Erklärung aus urgerm. *un-strōđu- ‚sehr sumpfi ge Stelle‘ als Bezeichnung eines Flussabschnitts, der auf den ganzen Fluss übertragen worden sei, kann zwar im Prinzip morphologisch, nicht aber auf der semantischen Seite überzeugen, da in der Regel mit intensivierendem urgerm. *un- gerechnet wurde. Wir schlagen nun vor, in urgerm. *un- die schwundstufige Form zu uridg. *(h1)en ‚in‘ zu sehen und den Namen als ursprüngliches ἔνθεος-Kompositum ‚Sumpfgebiet / Gebüsch an sich habend‘, also ‚[der Fluss,] in/an dem [= an dessen Ufer] Sumpfgebiet / Gebüsch ist‘ zu deuten.

Authors: Andacao Arvin , Lugo Maria Gloria
Published: May 2023

The Institute of Education and Teacher Training provides quality teaching and prepares students for life and teaching career. However, graduates of this program must pass the Board Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (BLEPT) to practice the profession, which challenges the institution to produce professionals and beat national standards. Hence, this study aims to analyze the trend of Davao Oriental State College of Science and Technology (DOSCST) performance in the licensure examination for professional teachers supervised by the Professional Regulation Commission. The authors employed archival quantitative research to analyze records and data results. The subject of the investigation was performance passing rates covering from 2010 to 2021 treated with frequencies, percentages, and differences. The findings revealed that all programs performed at least 50% passing rates and higher than the national passing percentage. The elementary program indicated 67.03%, secondary level marked 71.33%, and BPE-SPE gained 75.18% passing rates for first takers. Further results found that the elementary and secondary teacher education indicated 20% to 49.99% passing rates with less than the national passing scores. Finally, the school's overall performance passing rates went beyond the national passing rates. Meanwhile, both elementary and secondary programs earned many overall turnouts compared to the BPE-SPE program. Establishing a free academic clinic to coach and mentor the repeaters as part of extension activities and application of success predictors to improve licensure examinations is hereby recommended.

Authors: Dalagan, Jr. Saturnino
Published: May 2023

This study was conducted to determine how the Davao Oriental State College of Science and Technology (DOSCST) Professional School graduates performed in the real work environment as perceived by their employers. It utilized the quantitative method with 52 employers as the respondents and the qualitative method with 11 employers as the key informants. The study was conducted at the different workplaces of the DOSCST Professional School graduates within the province of Davao Oriental. Findings reveal that the level of employers' satisfaction with the education exemplified by DOSCST Professional School graduates is highly satisfactory. The degree of importance for the successful performance of the graduates in terms of the four indicators: knowledge and understanding of the job, general skills, specialized skills, and qualities of graduates, is extremely important. However, the employers' satisfaction and the DOSCST Professional School graduates' performance indicate an overall significant positive moderate relationship towards each other. Among the demographics given in this study, only the length of service exhibits a significant difference in the employer's satisfaction. Moreover, future researchers may study students' academic performance versus the teaching performance of the DOSCST Professional School graduates. Likewise, they may also look into the ethics and commitment of the teachers who graduated from the DOSCST Professional School.
The Problem of Evaluation in the Rhetorical Criticism
Authors:   Politehnica University Timişoara, Băiaș Cosmin-Constantin
Published: May 2023

The field of the communication sciences is a hybrid field with various influences that can be observed in the research methods that are used: the quantitative-scientific and qualitative-interpretive methods. Rhetorical criticism as a qualitative research in the field of communication calls for its own evaluation standards. Our aim is to clarify, through a meta-analysis, the evaluation criteria proposed by different authors and the standards, after which an essay of the rhetorical criticism can be appreciated. We claim that a work of the rhetorical criticism is not just an exercise of creativity and originality, but rather a way of persuasive argumentation.
"On the Usefulness of the Pragmatic Perspective in Translation: the case of the Speech Acts in the EU Legal Texts"
Authors:   West University of Timişoara, Cozma Mihaela
Published: May 2023

Based on the belief that the choice of any lexical or grammatical item depends not only on the meaning or on the use perceived as conventional in a particular language, but also on a wide range of contextual variables, the present paper argues for the necessity and the usefulness of adopting a pragmatic perspective at various stages of the translation process. For illustration, the author focuses on the specific features presented by the speech acts predominantly used in the English versus the Romanian variants of the EU legal texts, and especially on the illocutionary force with which they are associated.

"Les représentations des étudiants algériens vis-à-vis la langue française"
Authors:   West University of Timișoara, Achouri Lelia
Published: May 2023

Le paysage linguistique algérien est le produit de son Histoire, de sa modernité, de sa géographie. Ces paramètres constitutifs de l’identité de l’algérien se laissent entrevoir dans ses activités quotidiennes. La dynamique linguistique que nos apprenants adaptent à leurs besoins expressifs fait fluctuer leurs représentations linguistiques. Le rapport symbolique des apprenants à l’arabité et l’islamité qui lui est intrinsèquement liée, à l’arabe algérien et à son lot de représentations négatives, au français et à son statut ambigu : tantôt langue du colon, tantôt langue d’ouverture, fluctue selon les enjeux discursifs. Notre proposition de communication traite d’un état des lieux des langues en Algérie, le rapport diglossique entre elles, ainsi que le statut du français au sein du processus d’enseignement/apprentissage.
Padungku as a Post-Conflict Ecclesiological Concept in Poso in Relation to Interfaith Communities
Authors: Gimbo Marsekal , Harisantoso Imanuel Teguh
Published: May 2023

This article analyzes how Padungku, an indigenous tradition of the Pamona tribe, became a concept of ecclesiology after the Poso conflict through the perspective of interfaith ecclesiology. The main problem in the Poso conflict is the clash between two different religious groups from each other so that all kinds of relationships of any kind between the two seem to be tightly closed, and there is no hope of opening up again. This paper uses a literature method to explore how Padungku became a new ecclesiological concept in the Poso community. The results found that through Padungku and the perspective of interfaith ecclesiology as aids, it will be seen that long-entrenched indigenous traditions played a role in unlocking all sorts of things that were not originally possible post-conflict. This openness is also inseparable from how its values are in line and accordance with ecclesial principles.

Published: May 2023

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of applying AGV in the production system at the PT. Adhikara Wiyasa Gani. AGV is implemented as a means of transporting materials from the warehouse to the production line, as well as returning finished goods to the warehouse. The research method used was data collection through field observations, interviews with workers, and analysis of production data before and after using AGV.

The research results show that the use of AGV can increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the production system. The time required for material delivery from the warehouse to the production line and the return of finished goods to the warehouse can be minimized, thereby speeding up production time. In addition, AGV can also reduce production costs by reducing labor costs and minimizing the risk of human error in shipping goods.

In conclusion, the application of AGV can have a positive impact on the production system at the PT. Adhikara Wiyasa Gani. However, further research can be conducted to deepen the effectiveness and efficiency of AGV implementation in production systems in general.

This study examined the effectiveness of communication in the campaign against Female Genital Mutilation in Iwo local government area of Osun State. The objectives of the study were, to analyze the role that communication plays in the campaign against Female Genital Mutilation, to determine what campaign strategies are mostly employed in the grassroot level and how effective these strategies are in Iwo local government area. For this research work, theories such as the Feminist theory and Risk perception and communication theory were discussed. Survey method was employed with questionnaire as instrument for data collection. 300 copies of questionnaire were administered to the maternity women and nursing mothers of State hospital and Alaye primary health care, both in Iwo, Osun State and face to face interview were conducted on six medical practitioners from the health centers. However, only 288 copies of the questionnaire were useful and valid. Descriptive statistics was employed while the data collected were analyzed using frequency distribution tables and percentages in which descriptive analysis was utilized to infer meanings to the data in the table. Explanation building was used to analyze responses gathered from the structured interviews. The findings from this study showed that among others, majority of the respondents are aware of the campaign against Female Genital Mutilation, counseling and one on one communication are the communication strategies that are mostly employed in the health centers to campaign against this practice. Also, majority of the respondents are in support of the campaign and did not circumcise their daughters due to what they have heard from different communication strategies on the effect of the practice. Therefore, the use of communication in the campaign against Female Genital Mutilation in Iwo is very effective. The study concluded that people should gradually start to comply with the global medical practices in Nigeria. The researchers recommend that more sensitization programmes should be created by the government for this campaign to reach the grass root level especially those that cannot read and other communication strategies should be employed to campaign against this practice like social media since they are the communication thriving technologies.

A country with enormous dialects such as Nigeria, is likely to be confronted with diversified problems strong enough to militate against her unity and peaceful co-existence. Undoubtedly, such societies need a medium such as community radio which is capable of presenting one of the best ways of reaching the grassroots with attitude change and development messages for socialization. The study adopted survey and interview methods using questionnaire and interview guide as data collection instruments. The paper was anchored on the Development media Theory and Diffusion of Innovation Theory respectively. The paper employed simple random technique to derive the study sample size of 300 respondents from the universe population and the selected community radio stations, 250 copies of the questionnaire were returned and validated for the study final analysis. Descriptive statistics with the Statistical Products and Social Services (SPSS) version 21 were utilized for data analysis. The findings showed that the community radio stations programmes are effective in promoting peace culture between the Fulani-herdsmen and Farmers. It revealed that Oyo State is most influenced by community radio stations’ programmes among the selected states. It established that political intervention, infrastructural problems, language barrier, ownership and control are the major challenges confronted by the community radio stations. In addition, it indicated that there were collaborations though not too huge between government and the selected stations. The study concluded that community radio stations’ programmes are relevant approach for engendering peaceful co-existence among the Fulani-herdsmen and Farmers as proved by the study. It established that the programmes ensure viable community development and facilitate common understanding among participants of development initiatives. The study recommended that indigenous languages programmes should be increased tremendously to positively affect rural development programmes. Also, pluralism and diversity in the radio stations’ programmes should be re-designed to enhance cultural integration and advancement of indigenous languages. In addition, government should step up actions in assisting community radio stations’ operators by funding rural programmes through placement of advertisements. Finally, government at various levels should come up together in advocating for rural populace active participation in the rural development discourse via decision making.
Art for art’s sake: death of the author in the 21st century?
Authors:   Rufus Giwa Polythechnic, Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria, Ajimuda Olufunsho Stephen , Aminu Olusegun ,   Rufus Giwa Polythechnic, Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria
Published: May 2023

The poetics of modern literature can be divided into two broad spectra - the linguistic and the extra-linguistic principles. According to Abrams (1973:4), whatever the language of all critical theories, they discriminate four elements in the total situation of a work of art. These four elements are: the mimetic theory, the pragmatic theory, the expressive theory and the objective theory. Since the advent of the Objective theory in the 19th century, exponents of this school regard art as non-didactic, that is, one whose end-purpose or intention is within itself and not dependent upon the achievement of objectives outside the work such as the fact of its composition, the actuality it imitates, its author’s stated intention, and of the effect it produces on it audience. This view of art is what has come to be termed art for art’s sake. This paper looks at the tenet of art for art’s sake in literature and how it greatly manifests itself in the language centered theories of literature which relates a work of art to the linguistic elements that make up such a work. It also looks at the effect of this tenet on the author as all extrinsic issues affecting a text no longer matter in its evaluation. The paper argues that since there are other theories and schools of criticism which still believe in extrinsic factors in the evaluation of a work of art, this has obliterated the total “death of the author”.
Gender, age & language familiarity: the sociolinguistics of the use of Americanisms in a university campus
Authors:   University of Lagos., Adedeji Kofo
Published: May 2023

The aim of this paper is to establish aspects of the sociolinguistic profile of Nigerians, specifically Nigerian undergraduates of the University of Lagos in Southwest Nigeria regarding the use of American and British English lexis and grammatical/structural forms. The impetus for this study is the observation of an increase in the use of American English in the face of the British norm-dependency official status of Nigeria. Data was collected from a hundred Nigerian university undergraduates of the University of Lagos aged 16-30 years old. Salient sociolinguistic information such as gender, age and language familiarity were juxtaposed with the usage of the two geographical variants of English. Two major outcomes are: American lexical and grammatical norms and expressions are more frequently used than British forms; female undergraduates use these Americanisms more often than their male cohorts.

Authors:   Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Nigeria, Efuntade Olubunmi Omotayo
Published: May 2023

The study examined budget deficit and economic growth in Nigeria. It specifically investigated the relationship between excess public expenditure, public revenue reduction, inflation rate, unemployment rate and real gross domestic product of Nigeria. This study adopted ex-post facto research design. Relevant data regarding the variables under-study were extracted from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin. The study period covered thirty-one (10) years spanning from 2009 to 2019, while error correction model was used to analyze the data.

Egyiptom és Magyarország : A Szent Istváni államalapítástól napjainkig
Authors: Király Attila
Published: May 2023

Magyarország és Egyiptom története az Orient-Projekt honlapján szereplő egyéb területekhez képest viszonylag kevesebb ponton kapcsolódik egymáshoz. Mégis, valószínűleg nincs olyan magyar ember, akinek nincs markáns képe erről az országról. A Nílus-völgyi civilizáció már az ókori görögöket is lenyűgözte, és ez a civilizáció számos ösvényen keresztül talált utat mai világunkba. Az egyiptomi motívumokat ott találjuk építészetünkben, művészetünkben, szellemi örökségünkben, és persze a popkultúrában. Áttekintő esszénkben időrendben haladva soroljuk fel a téma főbb csomópontjait, további tájékoztató irodalmi hivatkozásokkal. Az első szakaszban meghatározzuk Egyiptom helyét a Közel-Keleten. Ezt követően a római kori Pannonia egyiptomi emlékeiről beszélünk, majd a középkor és a török kor írásos forrásaiban megjelenő Egyiptom-képpel foglalkozunk. Az esszé második felében az intenzívebbé váló kapcsolatok nyomában járunk, főleg a 19. század második felében és a 20. század békés évtizedeiben. Röviden kitérünk a magyarábok kérdésére, a cigányság feltételezett egyiptomi eredetére, a magyarországi ortodox kopt keresztényekre és az egyiptomi Remete Szent Pál rendjére.

Prototyping of Multi-Factors Based Vehicle Accident Detection and Reporting System Relying on GPS and GS
Authors: Omar Al-Mukhtar Tawfeeq  , Mohanad Ghazi Khamees  , Wasan Sameer Rasheed
Published: May 2023

Several car accidents are reported everyday worldwide, and many fatalities and injuries occur that can be predicted and prevented. This paper does not focus on those accidents that get reported, but instead it focuses on the accidents that do not get reported and result in major injuries and fatalities that can be avoided by simple notification that can be sent to the right people at the right time, so that help can be sent even if the people in need of it are not capable of requesting it. The proposed system can be considered as a tool for the safety of the car passengers in addition to the already existing seat belts. The optimum speed of arrival of the help is achieved in this work by implementing GPS such that a website link that contains the exact location of the accident is sent in order to find the location of the accident instantly without having the people involved in the accident to have to report their location. This paper aims mainly to design a system that can detect one of three cases, the first one is when there is an accident and the air bags do not deploy, while the second case is when there is an accident, and the air bags are deployed, and the third case is an SOS message in case there was a need for it. Of course, there might happen a small accident that does not require the system to send a notification, so there is a switch that can be pushed in order to prevent the system from sending faulty alarms.
Compositional Analysis and identification of bio-oil in Iraqi Date Pits
Authors: Khalidah Al-Qayim
Published: May 2023

Iraq is known with the abundance of date palm trees. This can be an important source of food nutrients and agricultural waste for energy. Date pits represent 18-20% of the fruit weight, and are recognized for their oil content and other nutritional components. This agricultural waste can be of great importance as a source of biofuel or useful nutritional compounds. In this paper, date pits of the most common variety of dates in Iraq named Zahdi, was investigated for compositional analysis and biomass value assessment. Samples of dried pits were examined for sugars, wax & chlorophyll and total inorganic ash content. In addition,  structural sugars were examined to assess the potential of producing biofuel from date pits. It is found that the total content of structural sugars was 62.16% mainly Arabinose (53.56%). This highly significant percentage of Arabinose in date pits has not been reported in literature till the present. Further analysis of the volatile organic compounds in the pits via pyrolysis, identified a rare sugar in nature named D-allose. It is believed that thermochemical conversion of polysaccharides has led to produce the monosaccharide d-allose sugar. It is the first time ever to identify this rare sugar in Iraqi date pits with a noticeable amount. The importance of this finding comes from the recent medical investigations that proved the inhibiting activity of D-allose on many carcinoma cells in the human body.

Authors: Arroyo Villarroel Nilda , Gutiérrez Alba Katherine , Torrico Montaño Noelia , Martinez Oliva Brenda Gisela
Published: May 2023

El artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio exploratorio sobre las propiedades terapéuticas de la Mentha piperita para tratar problemas cutáneos como acné leve y grave, piel reseca, piel grasa y machas de sol en un grupo de individuos de 20 a 24 años de edad.
En primera instancia se determinaron los metabolitos de las hojas de Mentha piperita proveniente de  Cochabamba y posteriormente se elaboraron 2 productos fitoterápicos (jaboncillo e hidrolato), estos fueron aplicados en la piel de los rostros de los participantes, los cuales fueron separados previamente en 3 grupos, el grupo 1 conformado por 5 voluntarios utilizó el hidrolato, el grupo 2 constituido por 7 participantes empleó el jaboncillo, el grupo 3 formado por 2 personas utilizó ambos productos con intervalo de un mes de descanso. Todos los grupos emplearon los productos durante 2 meses y se realizaron controles semanales.
En los resultados se observó que el 100% de los participantes mostraron cambios positivos en el rostro como aumento de la suavidad de la piel, frescura y mejoría en la eliminación de acné leve y severo. Utilizando el Test de McNemar para la variable suavidad se obtuvo p=0.0047 < α=0.95; para las variables frescura y eliminación de acné se obtuvo p=0.0253 < α=0.95, lo que indica que los cambios son producto del tratamiento. Las reacciones adversas reportadas en el uso del ja- boncillo fueron resequedad y ardor, no se reportaron reacciones adversas en el grupo de voluntarios que utilizó hidrolato. En el grupo de participantes de este estudio se evidenció que los productos fitoterápicos a base de menta parecen tener efectos beneficiosos para tratar problemas cutáneos importantes sin producir efectos adversos graves o irreversibles.
