Authors: Swamy Anusha M. , Mangalwedhe Sameer Belvi , Hiremath Shivanand B. , Desai Mahesh
Published: December 2023

Context:

Early treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders has a significant impact on the prognosis and outcome of these disorders. To reduce the time of untreated psychosis, it is necessary to know the help-seeking behavior and the path taken by the patients and their caregivers. Efforts at reducing the time to initiate treatment for first-episode psychosis (FEP) are very much needed. The pathway to care helps in determining various factors associated with the delay and also creates awareness regarding the negative pathway determinants.

Aim:

This study aims to find out the pathway to care in FEP.

Settings and Design:

This is a hospital-based, time-bound, cross-sectional study, conducted from January to June 2022 in the department of psychiatry of a tertiary health care center in North Karnataka.

Subjects and Methods:

Basic sociodemographic, clinical, and details related to pathway to care were collected using semi-structured pro forma. MINI plus 5.0.0 and International Classification of Diseases-10 DCR were used to assess and confirm the diagnosis. Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale was used to measure the severity of symptoms.

Statistical Analysis:

Data were compiled and appropriate statistical tests were used to analyze the data with the help of SPSS version 17.0.

Results:

Sixty-one cases of FEP were assessed. The majority (44.2%) of the cases were diagnosed with acute and transient psychotic disorders and 16.4% were schizophrenia. The median duration of untreated psychosis was 30 days (15–150 days). For the majority (54.1%) of the patients, first contact was faith healers and for 31.1%, it was mental health facilities.

Conclusion:

The most common pathway taken by the patients was faith healers as they were easily available in rural areas and free from stigma associated with mental illness. These findings can be utilized in making policies to increase awareness about mental health and also about the availability of mental health services.
Gender differences in recall, recognition and metamemory among undergraduate college students
Authors: Samala Niveditha , Chilukuri Harihar
Published: December 2023

Background:

It is a popular notion that there is a gender difference in memory. Research in this area suggests that women outperform in certain memory tasks and men in other. A recent meta-analysis concluded that there was no significant difference among the genders. Metamemory, on the other hand, is a multidimensional construct that includes what people believe about their own memory and how they control and monitor their memory processes.

Aim:

To compare recall, recognition, and metamemory against gender variable in undergraduates.

Methods:

Students were given questionnaires which included the following components: (1) consent form; (2) demographic sheet; (3) semistructured questionnaire for strategic approach to memory retrieval; (4) set of 20 general knowledge questions were given both in fill in the blank (FIB) and multiple-choice question (MCQ) formats; and (5) multifactorial memory questionnaire (MMQ). Thus, the collected data from 250 students were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS version 21.

Results:

(1) There was no statistically significant difference in strategic approach to memory retrieval among genders. (2) Means of FIB-MCQ scores were 3.33 in males and 3.125 in females. (3) Percentage of male participants scoring above average scores on MMQ A1 and A2 was double that of female participants, whereas above average A3 percentage was slightly higher in females. (4) A negative correlation was found between MCQ-FIB score and A1 and A3 scores in females, whereas this correlation was positive in males.

Conclusion:

(1) There is no difference among genders in (i) Strategic approach to memory retrieval. (ii) Recall and recognition of their semantic memory. (iii) Scores on MMQ. (2) Males had a positive correlation between MMQ scores and retrieval by recognition whereas females had a negative correlation indicating a better recall is correlated to better metamemory.
Food addiction: A perspective
Authors: Kosana Devika , Ayyalasomayajula Rajesh
Published: December 2023

Food addiction (FA) refers to an excessive and dysregulated consumption of high-calorie foods that are hyperpalatable. Although it does not feature in the current classificatory systems of psychiatric disorders, it has gained prominence as a result of the obesity pandemic. It shares many features with addictive disorders and eating disorders such as binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa. Changes in the brain–gut–microbiome interactions, genetic polymorphisms (dopamine, opioid, leptin, and melanocortin-4 receptor), and altered connectivity in various brain circuits are some of the etiological factors for the development of FA. Depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, impaired decision-making, high impulsivity and neuroticism, lower conscientiousness, and extraversion are some of the risk factors for FA. When confronted with excess stress or burnout, predisposed individuals consume food for comfort-seeking and to avoid unpleasant emotions placing them at a greater risk of FA. Lifestyle modification, cognitive behavior therapy, pharmacotherapy, cognitive training, psychobiotics, low carbohydrate ketogenic therapy, self-help groups, virtual reality, and neuromodulation techniques can be incorporated into the management of FA. Unless FA and its comorbidities are identified and managed appropriately, it will impede weight loss, and the results of interventions for the management of obesity will not be sustained. Preventive strategies include early identification and management of at-risk adolescents, incorporating programs promoting healthy food choices and eating habits, and more regulation of pleasurable foods in child and youth settings. The onus of taking responsibility to implement measures to curb FA lies with the food industry, governments through statutory regulations, and the society at large.

Mujeres no respetables. Alegorías de género sobre la sexualidad femenina en la moral cristiana. Aportes para una discusión epistémica sobre la prostitución
Authors: Gálvez-Comandini Ana
Published: December 2023

Este artículo aborda desde una mirada epistemológica la construcción histórica de la moral sexual cristiana occidental respecto de la sexualidad femenina considerada normal o desviada, poniendo énfasis, específicamente, en la degradación histórica del oficio de la prostitución1. Para ello se recurre a textos clásicos que evidencian esta construcción, y se ejemplifica históricamente para el caso de Chile con algunas publicaciones del siglo XIX de La Revista Católica, publicada en el país desde 1843 hasta 2022. Se busca demostrar cómo a través de los siglos, y específicamente en el siglo XIX, la sexualidad femenina fue recluida por la iglesia al espacio del matrimonio, generando una dicotomía con otros tipos de expresión histórica de la sexualidad de las mujeres, como la comercial, que fue empujada a los márgenes de lo abyecto y el pecado, como sinónimo de degradación social y moral.
Gry i rzeczy niepewne – komentarz do De incerti aestimatione G.W. Leibniza
Authors: Słowiński Grzegorz
Published: December 2023

„De incerti aestimatione” („O szacowaniu rzeczy niepewnych”) G.W. Leibniza z 1678-ego roku stanowi próbę wyprowadzenia ogólnej metody dla rozwiązania problemu punktów, czyli podziału puli w dowolnej rundzie gry. Część wyjaśniająca zawiera szereg definicji i pomysłów pojawiających się w pismach Leibniza w poprzednich latach. Wśród nich znajduje się definicja pojęcia prawdopodobieństwa (probabilitas) kojarzonego wówczas z niezakończonym jeszcze sporem o probabilizm moralno-teologiczny. Jest to w tym wypadku skojarzenie uzasadnione faktem, że w korespondencji i późniejszych pismach Leibniz proponuje rozważać prawdopodobieństwo w znaczeniu matematycznym w przeciwieństwie do znaczenia używanego w teologii moralnej. „De incerti aestimatione” jest drugą pracą Leibniza, w której poświęca on uwagę grom, zagadnieniu ich sprawiedliwości i oczekiwanej wartości, którą nazywa nadzieją. W artykule omówiono prawne, moralne i metafizyczne konteksty pojęć probabilitas, jus (prawa) i ratio, jak również ograniczenia moralnego zastosowania pojęcia prawdopodobieństwa. Przedstawiono także rozwiązanie problemu punktów przez Leibniza, które, choć błędne, stanowi niezależną od Pascala propozycję zastosowania do tego problemu metody rekurencyjnej.
Emmanuela Lévinasa figura trzeciego
Authors: Klimaszyk Karol
Published: December 2023

Emmanuel Lévinas’s Figure of the Third

This text aims to describe and analyse a figure of the third used by Emmanuel Lévinas in the three phases of the evolution of his concept. I interpret the term included in the title on an anthropological ground by analysing the transformations of terms: il y a and illeite, which I define as the third. On a social level, I explore the terms used by the French philosopher: troisieme homme and le tiers, defining them collectively as the third party. The basic thesis argued in the paper is the claim, absent in the Polish-language source literature, that Lévinas is most of all a philosopher of the third. I claim that the figure of the third is the starting point of the formation of subjectivity, defines the evolution of concepts and conditions metaphysics. On the socio-political level, the third defines the positive justification of society, influences the reformulation of the question of responsibility, and through this, in Otherwise than Being or Beyond Essence, makes it possible to formulate an answer to the doubts related to the unlimited responsibility for the other versus the question of violence in the context of the ethical relation. I also propose a different interpretation from the popular one of the evolution of the concept as a search for a positive justification of social relations.
Od woli wiedzy do troski o siebie. Filozofia podmiotu Michela Foucaulta w latach 1976–1982
Authors: Suchanecki Przemysław
Published: December 2023

From the Will of Knowledge to the Care-of-the-Self. Michel Foucault’s Philosophy of the Subject 1976–1982

The following article is an exploration of the intellectual journey of the French philosopher Michel Foucault in its latest period, from the Will to Knowledge, first book of the History of Sexuality, up to the later idea of care-of-the-self. The idea of the care-of-the-self is treated here as the culmination of Foucault’s philosophy, as well as its most mature expression. Maturity here means that, according to this concept, the subject is not perceived as the passive outcome of games played between the forces of knowledge and power, as it was presented in the writings of Foucault from the 1960s and 1970s, but, thanks to his own actions, directed at himself, so called practices of the Self, the subject is able to create itself, in separation from the outside influences that bind him. In the context and in contrast to the idea of the care of self is the idea of self-knowledge, a solely intellectual perspective, for which – according to Foucault – the care of the self was abandoned by philosophers for many centuries. A part of the goal of this study is to demonstrate that the concept of the care of the self was introduced through a conceptual evolution, in which certain ideas, gradually changing their meanings, morphed into other ideas, to arrive at the point where the ancient Greek idea of epimeleia heautou, care of the self, was necessary to be introduced. The principal sources for Foucault’s analyses were the writings of Stoics and Epicureans from the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D., as well as the Plato’s dialogue The First Alcibiades. A method of close-reading of the published works of Foucault and the transcripts of his lectures from a period of 1976 to 1982 was used to prove the above mentioned argument. The central goal of this thesis was largely accomplished – it has been demonstrated that Foucault, by examining various Stoic and Epicurean practices of the Self, showed that the subject is not determined to be formed solely as a result of the games of knowledge and power. Thanks to the concept of care of the self, Foucault had drawn a much larger margin of freedom for the individual, than he did in his earlier works.

This commentary aims to illuminate the multifarious functions of CD226 in cancer, delving into its impact on tumor progression, its influence on the immune response, its potential as a therapeutic target, and the persisting enigmas that drive ongoing research efforts in this domain.
Clima laboral y compromiso organizacional en docentes de una institución de educación superior en Sonora
Authors: Meza López Bethania Irelia , Ibarra Luis Enrique , Valenzuela Sandoval Antonia , Zuñiga Mazón Elimey
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo tiene como propósito determinar la relación entre el clima laboral y el compromiso organizacional como factores que permiten que los docentes adscritos a una institución pública de educación superior en el estado de Sonora desarrollen un sentido de mayor permanencia e identificación con la universidad. El diseño metodológico fue abordado desde un enfoque cuantitativo correlacional, con un alcance explicativo no experimental y transversal. Se aplicó el cuestionario de Escala Clima Laboral CL-SPC de Sonia Palma (2004) y la Escala de Compromiso Organizacional de Meyer y Allen (1997). Ambos instrumentos se aplicaron a una muestra de 176 docentes que laboran en una universidad pública del estado de Sonora. Se aplicó un modelo de correlaciones rho de Spearman, así como las pruebas estadísticas t de Student y la Chi cuadrada de homogeneidad para probar las hipótesis planteadas. De acuerdo con los principales resultados, se comprobó la existencia de un clima laboral y compromiso organizacional favorables determinados por una relación estadística positiva y directa entre ambas variables. Se concluye, la percepción del clima laboral en términos de factores, está determinado por el énfasis que los docentes les atribuyen a las condiciones laborales que la universidad ofrece más que al compromiso organizacional que han asumido; mientras que éste último, en términos de componentes, está determinado por el compromiso afectivo, más que el normativo y de continuidad.
Pobres em Espírito na Igreja de Francisco
Authors: Pires da Silva Yan , Aparecido Alves Da Silva Júnior Mauro
Published: December 2023

Para o presente artigo, é desenvolvida uma breve reflexão sobre a dimensão exegética e teológica das Bem-aventuranças apresentadas no Evangelho de Mateus. Busca-se compreender, de forma mais clara, os dados relevantes deste texto que se aplicam tenuamente aos discursos proferidos, pelo Sumo Pontífice da Igreja Católica, o Papa Francisco em suas catequeses sobre o texto em questão. Escolhe-se, por assim sendo, desenvolver uma reflexão sobre a primeira bem-aventurança. “Bem-aventurados os pobres em espírito, porque deles é o Reino dos Céus” (Mt 5, 3). Percebe-se que é evidente que dentro deste versículo, há uma síntese de todo o discurso das Bem-aventuranças, que se encontra no bloco maior, denominado Sermão da Montanha. Em suma, este artigo propõe analisar a Pobreza de Espírito como uma condição de abertura de coração, para que haja uma genuína mudança de vida, sendo esta, fruto de uma tomada de consciência que nos põe em direção a uma esperança escatológica, que já se faz presente na história humana, pelas ações de Jesus Cristo. O Papa Francisco, no entanto, atualiza esta mensagem, propondo que se recupere o verdadeiro sentido das Bem-aventuranças: a busca da felicidade através da simplicidade e humildade.
The relationship between psychological traits and long-distance travel
Authors: Andriyanov Ya. A. , Duplyakin Ye. B. , Rogalyova L. N.
Published: December 2023

This article considers the mutual influence of long-term travel and the psyche of individuals, including as a factor in the development of mental disorders. According to the author of the article, such a factor as a long journey has a multifactorial significance. The purpose of this article is to review the various forms of influence of long-term travel on the psyche of an individual. The scientific significance lies in the fact that against the background of active development of technical means and increasing mobility of the population, the topic of mutual influence of long-term travel and psyche has not been practically covered in Russian. Thus, with timely detection of clinical signs of mental disorders, it is possible to take a number of preventive measures to reduce the possible consequences, both for the individual and for those social groups to which he belongs. When writing the work, the following scientific methods were used: general theoretical, analysis and synthesis, historical-logical, inductive-deductive. This paper analyzed the available scientific publications, theoretical works, clinical and general educational manuals. The value of the study lies in the fact that traveling and psyche are considered in mutual influence. Therefore, practical recommendations for prevention should also take into account this mutual influence.

Use of special knowledge in criminal proceedings
Authors: Alayeva G. T. , Rehson C. N.
Published: December 2023

Special knowledge is important in the formation of the evidence base in criminal proceedings. With the help of special knowledge, it is possible to establish facts and reproduce events that cannot always be determined through the testimony of participants in the process or through investigative actions. The use of special knowledge is regulated by law, but in practice there are examples of inappropriate compliance with the procedure for attracting specialists and experts as carriers of special knowledge, assigning and conducting examinations and special studies, and correctly assessing the results obtained. In this connection, the purpose of scientific research is to study the procedural requirements for the use of special knowledge in criminal proceedings and to identify problems that arise in law enforcement practice. The authors used methods of comparative analysis, formal logic and documentary control in the research process. As a result, the authors formed their view on the use of special knowledge in criminal proceedings in order to assist specialists in assessing evidence and their sources at the stage of pre-trial proceedings, presented criteria for analyzing the quality of the use of special knowledge (expert and specialist opinions) and the materials of a criminal case that influence their quality, used in the conclusions of experts and specialists in accordance with the requests of legal practice. The value of the study lies in the fact that the authors proposed independent solutions to overcome problems associated with the use of special knowledge in criminal proceedings.

Authors: Seliverstov V. I.
Published: December 2023

In the penitentiary systems of States, scientific information about the identity of convicts is important. International standards specifically emphasize the need to obtain reliable data on trends characterizing the prison population and its distinctive features. The Ninth special Census conducted in December 2022 aims to supplement the available statistical data on the identity of convicts serving sentences of imprisonment and forced labor, as well as persons detained in pre-trial detention centers in Russia. The need for a special census was based not only on the modern needs of improving the penal policy, but also on the basis of compliance with historical traditions. The practice of conducting special censuses was characteristic of the period of the USSR (in these cases it affected correctional labor institutions located in Kazakhstan), and it continued in modern Russia. The article summarizes the organizational and methodological features of the nine special censuses that took place in the history, the main focus is on the last special census conducted in December 2022. The general features and peculiarities of the Ninth Special Census are analyzed, their theoretical justification is given. The parameters of the census, the forms of its implementation, the tendencies of the desocialization of the personality of convicts and the property stratification among them, which manifested themselves in the results of the census, are also disclosed.

Career Technical Education: A Perfectly Valid Alternative
Authors: Blackwell Jared
Published: December 2023

There is a pervasive stigma against career technical education in American society. Societal norms would make it seem that college education is superior to, and distinctly separate from, career technical education. Career technical education is seen as a last resort for students that were not able to attend college education, but the documented benefits that come from students attending career technical education are eye-opening. Students that attend career technical education in high school are shown to be more likely to graduate high school on time, as well as even more likely to attend post-secondary education, like two-year colleges, which is totally at odds with the perceptions created by the societal stigma against career technical education. Particularly for students with disabilities, career technical education can be a very empowering education pathway that will increase their employability, wages, hours, as well as employment benefits. The societal stigma surrounding career technical education ought be broken down through arguments such as the one, in order for awareness to spread regarding the positive effects of career technical education.
Ukraine as an Example: The Cold War Never Ended
Authors: Padan Ben
Published: December 2023

The United States and Russia have almost always been in constant conflict since the start of the twentieth century. While the Cold War took shape as a largely political battle between the superpowers, massive militaries were constructed to ensure their own interests. The collapse of the USSR left weakened, yet powerful Russia which sought to reassert its dominance into Eastern Europe. Clashes between pro-US and pro-Russian sides took place in countries like Ukraine, where it led to war in 2014. Acting against a disorderly NATO alliance, Russia launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022. Using realism to guide their actions for decades, both countries continue to use realist driven policy to secure their national security interests and influence in Ukraine. The United States and Russia each have a piece of the blame in what is apparently an endless conflict.

The current development of Information Technology (IT) has a huge impact on various aspects of life. This support makes it possible to send and receive information quickly without having to meet the desired person in person. The Animal Health Center (Puskeswan) is a place for providing animal health services accompanied by veterinarians and paramedics. Like humans, animals have the right to happiness in their lives. Currently, the level of animal welfare compliance remains very low. This is not only proven by government actions that have not been optimal in protecting animal rights and regulations to protect animal rights that have not been fully implemented. If patient data is recorded on a patient card, it will have negative impacts, including: Limited accessibility, possibility of data loss, human error, not environmentally friendly. An animal medical record information system is very important and useful, some of the reasons include: Efficient data management, better health care, routine care management.

A previous study showed that excessive GAs/DELLAs altered the arrangement, shape and frequency of hairs in root tips of A. thaliana seedlings by acting from the root sub-epidermal tissues. The present study showed that excessive GAs/DELLAs also modified root tip cell size/number in A. thaliana seedlings. While excessive DELLAs shortened and widened the root epidermal, cortical, endodermal and pericycle cells, excessive GAs, excepting the epidermal cells, generally narrowed them. However, no root cell size changes occurred when gai-1 was over-expressed at the root epidermis. Also, excessive DELLAs induced extra cells at the root epidermis, cortex, endodermis and pericycle and lateral root outgrowth, whereas excessive GAs induced extra cells at the root cortex and pericycle. Thus, excessive GAs/DELLAs might modify root tip cell size/number by acting from the sub-epidermal tissues of the root. This, in turn, might impact on the root hair patterning & abundance and the root architecture.

Authors: FELIX Aira Monique Nasol , XING Tim
Published: December 2023

Electrical signals in plants were first documented in the mid-19th century. In response to insect attacks, plants generate electrical signals that spread throughout the plant body and trigger physiological, biochemical and molecular responses. Arabidopsis has been used as a model plant in the past several decades. In this mini review, we will address the current understanding of electrical signaling in Arabidopsis and its physiological and biochemical impacts during herbivore attacks.

Field trial was conducted during the 2019/2020 cropping seasons to determine the effect of cultivar and weed control strategies on the productivity of roselle in a semi-arid environment. The trials comprised of two cultivars (deep red and white) and seven weed control strategies (pendimethalin at 2.0, butachlor 2.0, butachlor 1.5 + pendimethalin 1.5 kg a.i. ha-1, butachlor 1.5 kg a.i. ha-1 + SHW at 6 WAS, pendimethalin 1.5 kg a.i. ha-1 + SHW at 6 WAS, hoe weeded twice at 3 and 6 WAS, and weedy check) which were factorially combined and replicated thrice in a Randomized complete block design. The application of pendimethalin at 2.0 kg a.i. ha-1, as well as the deep red roselle cultivar, resulted in significant (P<0.01) increase in the number of days to 50% emergence, crop injury scores, and lowest stand count. The weedy check, on the other hand, recorded the lowest crop vigor score, plant height, number of leaves plant-1, leaf area, and leaf area index. Similarly, weedy check had the lowest fresh fruit weight, fresh capsule weight, dried capsule weight, seed weight, seed yield, and 1000 seed weight when compared to the other weed control strategies. Weed cover and weed density were similar in weedy check compared to the other weed control strategies, but treatment efficiency index was significantly (P<0.01) higher with application of two hoe weeding’s at 3 WAS and 6 WAS, butachlor 1.5 kg a.i. ha-1 + SHW at 6 WAS and pendimethalin 1.5 kg a.i. ha-1 + SHW at 6 WAS. Deep roselle cultivar outperformed white roselle in terms of growth and yield characters. Therefore, the cultivation of deep red roselle with butachlor and pendimethalin at 1.5 kg a.i. ha-1 + SHW at 6 WAS can be adopted in place of hoe weeding for season long weed control in the study area.

Tailless amphibians belonging to the order Batrachia are a significant component of human consumption. However, there is limited literature on the consumption of these amphibians by humans. Therefore, the present work aimed to examine the presence of drug residues in edible Batrachia, and compare them with other aquatic products. We assessed 22 veterinary drug residues, including 12 sulfonamides (SAs) and ten quinolones (QNs), in various aquatic products, including edible Batrachia. To provide a comparative analysis, we referenced literature from China between 2005 and 2020 regarding SAs and QNs detected in aquatic products. Additionally, we calculated the food safety index (IFS) of antibiotics, and conducted a health risk assessment. The findings revealed that the detection rate, average residual amount, and over-standard rate of antibiotics in edible Batrachia were higher than most other aquatic products. Furthermore, the systematic cluster analysis demonstrated that edible Batrachia could serve as a potential sentinel animal, distinguishing them from several other aquatic products. The total IFS of all residues obtained from different aquatic products in the present work was less than 1, thus indicating their safety in terms of public health. Nevertheless, it is essential to conduct detailed investigations into the maximum residues of certain antibiotics in specific aquatic products that exceed the safety limits to understand their impact on human health.

Authors: Shi Wen , Tan Chuangyu
Published: December 2023

Chelation of antioxidant chickpea peptides with calcium can improve the absorption rate of calcium in human intestinal tract. In the present work, the optimum enzymatic hydrolysis scheme was determined by a single-factor test with an orthogonal experimental design with the following conditions: material-liquid ratio, 1:15; enzymatic hydrolysis time, 10 min; enzyme-substrate ratio, 1:20 (papain protease); and enzymatic hydrolysis temperature, 60°C. The protein hydrolysate obtained under these conditions had high antioxidant activity. The free radical scavenging rates of •OH, O2-•, DPPH•, and H2O2 were 49.44, 63.64, 66.57, and 57.64%, respectively. The reducing power was 0.75. The optimum conditions for the preparation of calcium chelate from chickpea peptides were determined by an orthogonal optimisation test: the peptide-calcium ratio, 7:1; the chelation temperature, 50°C; the initial pH of the reaction solution, 7.0; the chelation time, 40 min; and the chelation rate, 39.95%. Antioxidant chickpea peptide-calcium chelates could have the potential to induce synergistic physiological effects.

Objetivo: Describir el efecto de la subtalamotomía bilateral por radiofrecuencia (RF) mediante la cuantificación del temblor en mano a partir de trayectorias de movimiento. Reporte de caso: Paciente femenina de 83 años de edad, con antecedente de enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica, bajo peso (IMC: 16) y Enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) Hoehn & Yahr II. Presentaba 5 años de temblor en reposo, de alta frecuencia y gran amplitud, de predominio en mano derecha con limitación significativa de la calidad de vida. Había recibido tratamiento con levodopa/carbidopa, la cual suspendió por manifestar náuseas y prurito, posteriormente recibió rotigotina y rasagilina sin control del temblor. Se decidió en junta neuroquirurgica y comité de ética en la clínica FOSCAL internacional realizar una Subtalamotomía unilateral por RF (2 lesiones a 75°C, durante 60 segundos). El temblor fue medido por un original método computacional, midiendo un conjunto de trayectorias de movimiento calculadas utilizando video. Las trayectorias fueron caracterizadas por un conjunto de cinemáticas, las cuales con un análisis estadístico permitieron cuantificar el temblor. Adicionalmente fue seguida con la parte 3.16 de la UPDRS, el cuestionario de la calidad de vida (PDQ-39) y la escala de temblor Fahn-tolosa antes y seis meses después del procedimiento. Resultados: No existieron complicaciones. El temblor se detuvo intraquirurgicamente y dicho beneficio se mantuvo hasta la última visita. Las puntuaciones en UPDRS-3.16 disminuyeron en un 47.6%, en la escala de temblor FahnTolosa en un 60% y también se observó una mejora concomitante en la calidad de vida con el cuestionario PDQ-39 en un 66%. Discusión: Las técnicas ablativas por RF aun representan una excelente opción terapéutica en casos adecuadamente seleccionados. La cuantificación del temblor antes y después de cirugía demuestra de manera objetiva el adecuado control del temblor y debería documentarse siempre. Conclusiones: La subtalamotomía por RF proporcionó un control significativo del temblor y la rigidez, mejorando significativamente la calidad de vida de una paciente de 83 años que por su estado nutricional no era candidata a Estimulación Cerebral Profunda (ECP) por riesgo de exposición del sistema. La aplicación de nuevas tecnologías cuantitativas permite una evaluación de resultados precisa, consideramos el método computacional para la evaluación del temblor como una alternativa segura y eficaz en la cuantificación a partir de trayectorias antes y después la subtalamotomía por RF.
