Theory-Driven Approach for Facilitation of Planning Health Promotion or Other Programs
Authors: Chen Huey-tsyh
Published: April 2023

Abstract: This article revises and extends Chen’s (1990) theory-driven framework to address program development. The theory-driven approach to program development is useful for evaluators to facilitate stakeholders in strengthening program plans before implementation. Using this approach, evaluators are able to assist stakeholders in systematically developing a program theory for what they are proposing to do in a program. The theory-driven approach can ensure that crucial components and steps are systematically incorporated into the program plan. This article discusses in detail strategies and techniques for applying the theory-driven approach to program planning and development. It also provides two concrete examples of health promotion programs to illustrate such application.
Creating Logic Models Using Grounded Theory: A Case Example Demonstrating a Unique Approach to Logic Model Development
Authors: Goertzen Jason R. , Fahlman Shelley A. , Hampton Mary R. , Jeffery Bonnie L.
Published: April 2023

Abstract: This article describes, using a case example, the procedure of creating logic models using grounded theory methodology in the context of process evaluation. There currently exists a dearth of literature on the specifics of how logic models should be created. The authors reduce this gap by detailing an integrated methodology they utilized during their recent evaluation of the Youth Educating About Health (YEAH) program. A number of parallels between grounded theory and logic modelling are first discussed to demonstrate their potential for integration. Then the data collection and analysis procedures are explained with a focus on how the integration between grounded theory and logic modelling was conducted. The completed logic model is then presented and each category is explained in detail. The authors conclude by discussing the lessons they learned from utilizing this integrated methodology. These lessons include the specific benefits this methodology contributes to process evaluation, the added depth of information that grounded theory provides to logic modelling, and the cost- and time-effectiveness of this unique methodology.

Intoxicación crónica por mercurio: reto diagnóstico
Authors: Fallas Waahrmann Moisés , Quesada Salas Allan Humberto , Fallas Santana Cilian , Porras Vargas Albin Gerardo
Published: April 2023

La intoxicación crónica por mercurio es una entidad poco diagnosticada en la práctica clínica. Lo anterior no se debe exclusivamente a la baja incidencia de casos, sino también a un difícil diagnóstico asertivo y oportuno al enfrentarse a la amplia sintomatología inespecífica y multisistémica presentada con la intoxicación de este metal. Los vacíos de conocimiento y la falta de indagación en la historia clínica inicial sobre factores de riesgo provocan la no inclusión dentro de los posibles diagnósticos diferenciales. Se expone el caso de un paciente joven vecino de una zona rural con una sintomatología crónica poco específica, primordialmente neurológica y con estudios complementarios iniciales poco reveladores, con la posterior indagación por una intoxicación con metales dentro de los posibles diagnósticos, revelando cantidades sumamente elevadas de mercurio en orina.
Valvulopatía reumática: principios, fisiopatología y tratamiento
Authors: Rodríguez Sánchez David , Coto Quirós Amanda , Hernández Gaitán Rolando
Published: April 2023

La valvulopatía reumática es la principal causa de estenosis mitral en países en vías de desarrollo. Esta enfermedad se manifiesta posterior a infecciones recurrentes por Streptococcus pyogenes. Existen dos teorías que explican esta condición. La primera se basa en el mimetismo molecular, esta consiste en que moléculas de este agente poseen similitud antigénica a los tejidos del ser afectado. La otra posible explicación más reciente consiste en la teoría del neo-antígeno, y sugiere que el estreptococo pyogenes adquiere acceso a la matriz del colágeno subendotelial, induciendo posteriormente una respuesta auto-inmune. La inflamación causada en el tejido valvular genera a largo plazo anormalidad tanto anatómica como funcional de esta. El tratamiento quirúrgico ha evolucionado mucho con los años, empezando con dilatación de la válvula mitral estenótica de forma manual con un dígito llamada también comisurotomía “cerrada” hasta la comisurotomía mitral percutánea. Con el tratamiento adecuado, el pronóstico posterior a los procedimientos mencionados anteriormente suele ser muy bueno.
Hernia diafragmática congénita: una actualización en el abordaje diagnóstico y terapéutico
Authors: Lizano Villarreal María José , Arroyo Solís Daniel , Gamboa Hernández Federico
Published: April 2023

La hernia diafragmática congénita (HDC) es una malformación infrecuente del desarrollo del diafragma por un defecto en el cierre de los canales pericardioperitoneales en el desarrollo embriológico. Se caracteriza por la herniación de los contenidos abdominales en el tórax, comprometiendo el desarrollo pulmonar. Tiene una prevalencia anual estimada de 1 a 4 casos en 10,000 nacidos vivos. La mayoría de los casos son esporádicos y multifactoriales, incluyendo factores ambientales y genéticos, o se presenta en asociación a otras malformaciones congénitas. Ambos alteran la diferenciación de las células mesenquimales en el proceso de formación del diafragma. La forma más frecuente es la hernia de Bochdalek (más del 95% de los casos), descrita como un defecto posterolateral que predomina en el lado izquierdo. Las consecuencias más relevantes son la hipoplasia pulmonar e hipertensión pulmonar persistente, responsables de la morbimortalidad asociadas a la HDC. Actualmente, el abordaje de esta patología se basa en el diagnóstico oportuno y la identificación de los fetos gravemente afectados para permitir planificar el parto o las nuevas terapias in útero, las cuales siguen en constantes estudios. Este artículo expone una revisión actualizada del diagnóstico y tratamiento pre y postnatal de la HCD.

Published: April 2023

La leishmaniasis cutánea es una infección de la piel causada por un parásito, transmitido por la picadura de un vector. La leishmania es endémica en muchas regiones del mundo, como por ejemplo Centroamérica, Sudamérica y África. El tipo de Leishmania que más frecuentemente se asocia a leishmaniais cutánea es la Leishmania brazilensis. Los vectores encargados de inocular la leishmania en los pacientes son del género Phlebotomus. El diagnóstico de la leishmaniasis cutánea se realiza por medio de la sospecha clínica, por la úlcera característica en piel expuesta y se confirma mediante la histología, por la observación directa del parásito en el microscopio. El tratamiento de primera línea para esta patología es el antimonio pentavalente en monoterapia o combinado, en el cual se han observado mejores tasas de respuesta.

Authors: Singh Monika , Kushwaha Radha , Singh Vinti , Agrawal Rahul , Parajapati Anil , Kaur Devinder
Published: April 2023

This study examined the lactulose-fortified low-calorie guava preserves. The results showed that sucrose, used as a sweetener in guava preserves, could be partially substituted by lactulose without significantly affecting the overall quality of the preserves. The physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, and sensory evaluation of guava preserves with substitute lactulose were evaluated. The main aim of this study was to develop prebiotic guava preserves from two guava cultivars, namely, Safeda and Chittidar. The guava preserves without lactulose were used as control samples which contained 50% w/w sucrose of pulp, while lactulose-treated preserves replaced sucrose with 25%, 50%, and 75% w/w of lactulose. The finding showed that prebiotics did not significantly differ between control and treated samples. The range of ascorbic acid content of guava preserves was 98.2-102.6 mg/100g. Lactulose did not show a statistically significant effect on the level of ascorbic acid in guava preserves. The mineral content and antioxidant properties of guava preserves supplemented with lactulose were higher than those not supplemented with lactulose. The guava preserves with 50% lactulose were most accepted.

В даній статті образне порівняння трактується як категорія, суміжна з метафорою та логічним порівнянням, будучи свого роду єднальним елементом між асоціацією (метафора) та аналітизмом (логічне порівняння). Усі три категорії поєднує універсальність та зв’язок з мисленнєвими процесами; спільним для метафори і образного порівняння є фігуративність, тоді як для логічного і образного порівнянь – експлікація (не)подібності.

Sintaktički opis u gramatikama Ignjata Alojzija i Andrije Torkvata Brlića
Authors: Sesar Matea
Published: April 2023

U radu se prikazuje i uspoređuje opis sintaktičke razine hrvatskoga jezika u gramatikama brodskih jezikoslovaca, i to u Grammatik der Illyrischen Sprache (1833.) Ignjata Alojzija Brlića te u istoimenoj gramatici njegova sina Andrije Torkvata Brlića (1854.). Kako je 1836. objelodanjena Osnova slovnice slavjanske narěčja ilirskoga Vjekoslava Babukića, prva općehrvatska gramatika koja je pedesetak godina bila temeljem jezične norme, gramatika I. A. Brlića nije imala značajniju praktičnu primjenu. Sličnu je sudbinu doživjela i gramatika A. T. Brlića (koju danas gotovo svi jezikoslovci navode tek kao bibliografski podatak), objavljena iste godine kao i Babukićeva Ilirska slovnica, koja je pak bila prvi pokušaj cjelovite znanstvene gramatike u Hrvata. U radu je primijenjena komparativno-kontrastivna metoda analize sintaktičkih opisa. Iako mlađi Brlić svoju gramatiku piše u jeku preporodnoga pokreta, ona u mnogočemu ostaje bliska dopreporodnim gramatikama – u koje se svrstava i gramatika I. A. Brlića. U prilog tomu ide i činjenica da je gramatika namijenjena njemačkim vojnicima za učenje hrvatskoga jezika, stoga je pisana njemačkim jezikom, a primjeri su dani na hrvatskom i njemačkom jeziku. Sintaktički opisi u njoj, baš kao i u starijega Brlića, ostaju na razini sintagme i sintakse padeža.

The proposed pathophysiology of arrhythmia in COVID-19 are myocardial injury, hypoxia, cytokine storm, and drugs side effects. In addition, comorbidity, pre-existing scar or conduction defect, history of previous arrhythmia, electrolyte abnormalities may play a role in the pathophysiology of tachyarrhythmia and bradyarrhythmia. The in-hospital mortality, need of intensive care unit, need of mechanical ventilation or non-invasive ventilation, hypotension, and thromboembolic event were higher in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with arrhythmia. The general managements were to treat the underlying COVID-19 infection and to tackle the hemodynamic disturbances due to tachyarrhythmia or bradyarrhythmia. Cardiac arrhythmia is a common complication among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with tachyarrhythmia or bradyarrhythmia had worse in-hospital outcomes compared with patients without arrhythmia.
