Published: July 2023

The treatment of ulna coronal process fractures in the terrible triad of elbow, especially type I and II Regan–Morrey coronoid fractures, still have been controversial. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the novel Lasso-plate technique to have a more reliable fixation and a well clinical outcomes for type I and II Regan–Morrey coronoid fractures in a terrible triad of the elbow (TTE). Patients with simple TTE, closed fracture, aged > 18 years, duration of injury < 2 weeks, type I and II Regan–Morrey coronoid process fracture fixed by the Lasso-plate technique or ORIF were enrolled in the study. Total 144 patients with type I and II Regan–Morrey coronoid fracture in TTE were included in the Lasso-plate group or ORIF (open reduction and internal fixation) group in the Xi’an Honghui Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020. Eighty-six patients in Lasso-plate group underwent surgery using a novel Lasso-plate technique. And other 58 patients in ORIF group underwent surgery using ORIF. The data of two groups, including the X-ray films, Computed tomography (CT), the range of elbow motion, Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) and the surgical complications, were extracted from the hospital’s patient records. All patients in both groups were followed up at least 12 months. The mean operation time (88.2 ± 12.3 min) in Lasso-plate group is shorter than that of ORIF group (109.1 ± 13.0 min). There was one patient with injury of deep branch of radial nerve and one patient with superficial surgical incision infection in Lasso-plate group. There were two patients with surgical incision infection in ORIF group. There were three heterotopic ossifications in Lasso-plate group and eight heterotopic ossifications in ORIF group. There were 5 elbow joints stiffness in Lasso-plate group and 12 in ORIF group. At 12 months follow up, the mean range of flexion–extension motion in Lasso-plate group was 122.9° ± 13.4° versus 113.2° ± 18.1° in ORIF group (p < 0.01), the mean 89.7 ± 5.6 MEPS in Lasso-plate group versus mean 83.7 ± 6.1 MEPSin ORIF group. The fixation of coronoid process fracture in TTE by the Lasso-plate technique, especially type I and II Regan–Morrey coronoid fracture, could be easier to master and operate, could provide the sufficient stability of elbow joint to enable early functional exercise, along with a better clinical outcome, a lower surgical complication. For the treatment of TTE, we recommend the fixation of type I and II Regan–Morrey coronoid fracture with the Lasso-plate technique, which would result in a better clinical outcome.
Extensible detection and classification in Ishmael
Authors: Mellinger David K. , Lending Curtis , Nieukirk Sharon L. , Heimlich Sara L. , Oswald Julie N. , Oswald Michael
Published: July 2023

Ishmael is a bioacoustic analysis software package that has offers automatic detection of animal calls via a number of user-configurable detection methods. Ishmael now offers three significant improvements. The first is that users can download pre-configured detectors from within Ishmael for several cetacean species, including several mysticetes and several odontocetes. Each such detector is characterized with performance-measurement curves (receiver operating characteristic, detection error tradeoff, precision-recall) for a test dataset. Information on the signal-to-noise ratio of test datasets is also provided, since performance information is nearly meaningless without some indication of call clarity. The second is that Ishmael is extensible via a MATLAB interface that allows users to write their own detection plug-ins. Ishmael sends sound data and associated metadata to the plug-in, which analyzes the data and sends back detections and classifications for Ishmael to further handle as it would handle detections from built-in detectors. The third is an interface to Real-time Odontocete Call Classification Algorithm (ROCCA): Ishmael detects clicks and whistles of odontocetes, measures various acoustic characteristics, and sends the resulting acoustic parameters to ROCCA. ROCCA classifies both individual vocalizations, and also groups successive vocalizations together into “encounters,” which are then classified separately. [Work supported by LMR and ONR.]

A partir dos valores-notícia, e com enfoque no potencial de visualidade defendido por Nelson Traquina (2002), este artigo tenta perceber quais são os temas com maior e menor destaque em termos de imagem nas capas dos jornais diários generalistas portugueses Correio da Manhã, i, Jornal de Notícias e Público, entre os anos de 2017 e 2020.

Concluímos que existem perfis gráficos diferentes, assim como opções temáticas diversas: o desporto é o tema de eleição no Correio da Manhã, enquanto a política tem maior potencial de visualidade no Público. As escolhas dos periódicos mostram também diferentes posicionamentos editoriais, nomeadamente em torno da tabloidização, visível, essencialmente, no caso do Correio da Manhã.

Os resultados relativos ao ano de 2020, quase inteiramente dominado pela pandemia de covid-19, permitem perceber, tal como já era expectável, que a temática da saúde, habitualmente com um potencial de visualidade muito reduzido, está em destaque em relação a outros temas.
Puzzle górnośląsko-zagłębiowskie. Społeczne uwarunkowania funkcjonowania Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowskiej Metropolii
Authors: Bierwiaczonek Krzysztof
Published: July 2023

Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolia (Metropolis GZM) is the first metropolitan association operating in Poland according to the Act. It includes 41 municipalities of various sizes, administrative statuses and affiliations to cultural regions. This situation poses a significant challenge for integrating municipalities and residents of the Metropolis GZM. The article presents an analysis of selected social dimensions of intra-metropolitan diversity, taking into account the size structure of the municipality and the cultural heterogeneity of the Metropolis GZM. The empirical point of reference was a secondary analysis of data from original and co-authored research conducted in the metropolitan area in the last ten years and publicly available data from public sources. Their analysis revealed, on the one hand, the durability of symbolic boundaries (including phantom ones), the emerging new divisions (between new and rooted inhabitants of peripheral metropolitan municipalities), and, on the other hand, the deepening functional integration of the municipalities and inhabitants belonging to Metropolis GZM.
Parametric investigations of flows in micronozzles
Authors: Mitryukova Ekaterina Alexandrovna
Published: July 2023

The work is devoted to parametric investigations of the krypton flow in a conical micronozzle when flowing into a region with low pressure. The features of the flows are studied at various values of the stagnation pressure in the pre-nozzle volume, including the occurrence of a condensed phase in the flow. Mathematical modeling was carried out on the basis of a numerical solution of the complete system of Navier-Stokes equations, supplemented by the equation for the mass fraction of the condensate. The mathematical model takes into account the change in the coefficients of dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity depending on the gas temperature. The problem was solved by the control volume method on a block-structured regular grid of quadrangular elements using schemes of the second order of accuracy. The equations were integrated with respect to time using the Runge-Kutta method. The calculations were carried out at stagnation pressures of 5, 10, and 15 atm for single-phase and two-phase flows. The distribution fields of temperature and Mach number in the nozzle and in the space behind it are presented. The axial distribution of pressure, temperature, and Mach number has been studied. It is shown that in the case of a single-phase flow, self-similarity of gas flows is observed. The pressure fields were similar, but in a dimensionless form they coincided to each other. In this case, the identity of the velocity and temperature fields was observed at different values of the stagnation pressure. The self-similarity of the flow is violated in the zone of formation of condensed particles. The dimensions of the zones of local temperature increase, as well as the intensity of heat release, depend on the given stagnation pressure, which is reflected in the velocity characteristics of the flow.
REFLEXÕES SOBRE O FILME VOCÊ NÃO ESTAVA AQUI À LUZ DA PSICOPOLÍTICA DE HAN
Authors: Furtado Carla , Freitas Lêda Gonçalves de , Gonçalves Juliana de Andrade Rocha
Published: July 2023

Esta resenha crítica analisa o longa-metragem Você Não Estava Aqui (Sorry We Missed You, original), do diretor Ken Loach, filme realizado em 2019 e lançado no Brasil em 2020. A análise é realizada à luz da obra Psicopolítica – O Neoliberalismo e as Novas Técnicas de Poder, de Byung-Chul Han (2018). O drama narra a história de um pai de família, Ricky, que tem uma rotina exaustiva de trabalho como entregador autônomo em meio ao empreendedorismo neoliberal. Na era do trabalho controlado pelos algoritmos, o filme olha para o processo de uberização das relações de trabalho, ausentes de direitos e precarizadas. Ao retratar o cotidiano de 14 horas de trabalho do protagonista como entregador, revela a lógica das empresas de aplicativos, que consideram os entregadores como empreendedores, submetidos à ideologia da autonomia e da liberdade para trabalhar. Cena após cena, evidencia-se a psicopolítica de Han, que descreve o trabalhador empreendedor da era neoliberal como destituído de sua liberdade, propenso à compulsão e sem condições de resistência.
Confined synthesis of edge-rich V-doped MoSe2 nanosheets on carbon black for advanced hydrogen evolution reaction
Authors: Ren Xianpei , Wu Fei , Wang Yonghua , Li Fei
Published: July 2023

MoSe2 as one graphene-like 2D transition metal selenide has attracted
great attention. However, its application for the hydrogen evolution
reaction (HER) is still restricted by the poor electrical conductivity
and structural restacking. In this work, an excellent electro-catalyst
for hydrogen production is developed based on the in-situ synthesis of
V-doped MoSe2 confined on carbon black nanoparticles (denoted as
V-MoSe2/CB) via a sol-gel process. The characterization results show the
carbon black nanoparticles can protect the V-MoSe2 nanosheets from
agglomeration, resulting in ultra-thin thickness and short vertical
lattice arrays. Meanwhile, Density func-tional theory (DFT) calculations
indicate that vanadium doping can optimize the electronic structure of
MoSe2. Accordingly, compared to pure MoSe2, V-MoSe2 and MoSe2/CB
electrocatalyst, V-MoSe2/CB exhibits improved electrocatalytic activity
with a small overpoten-tial of 166 mV at -10 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel
slope of 65 mV dec-1. This work paves a new way for improving the HER
performance through synergistic morphology, structure and electronic
regulation.

Auditory feedback alteration as a tool to facilitate accurate vowel production in L2 English learners
Authors: Goddard Kirk , Pinet Svetlana , Kartushina Natalia , Koutsogiannaki Maria , Martin Clara
Published: July 2023

Speech of late second language (L2) learners is often marked by a foreign accent. This study examines the use of auditory feedback alteration (FA) as a training tool to improve L2 sound pronunciation. Twenty native Spanish speakers with low English proficiency formed two groups: the experimental group went through three consecutive days of 20-min FA training, while the control group performed the same procedure but without any alteration. After training, the experimental group showed significant improvement in their English vowel production and perception. This improvement was consistent when retested one week later. The control group showed no such improvement. While previous research has shown that FA modifies speech sound production in native speakers, no long-lasting effects have been reported, alterations returning to baseline after the experimental procedure. This study demonstrates how FA can lead to a long-lasting improvement of non-native vowel production and gives promising evidence of transfer to perception.
The Marking of Absence: What is Contained in the Archive of Iryna Pap
Authors: Filyuk Kateryna
Published: July 2023

Iryna Pap, a Ukrainian photographer whose oeuvre was recently rediscovered, stands out starkly in her moment, and the significance of her legacy continues to grow. As a female newcomer to the male-dominated world of Soviet photography, and as such almost unique in her profession, Pap worked for Izvestia, one of the USSR’s newspapers of record from 1958 to 1971. Later on, she launched the first professional School of Journalistic Excellence at the Journalists’ Union of Ukraine, thus shaping the next generation of Ukrainian photographers, some of whom are still active in the field. Pap’s photographs are scattered around different archives in Russia and Ukraine, although, as of 1991, a big portion of them have been rescued and are now preserved at the Fotohof Archiv in Salzburg. This paper provides a brief overview of Pap’s biography, the scope of her work and the problems posed by her archive, and suggests some methodological approaches that may help to address her legacy.

Published: July 2023

Purpose: To investigate the early postoperative gait characteristics of patients who underwent periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) and predict the biomechanical performance of two commonly used PAO fixation methods: iliac screw (IS) and transverse screw (TS).

Methods: A total of 12 patients with unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) (mean age 27.81 ± 4.64 years, 42% male) that were scheduled to undergo PAO surgery were included in this study. Their preoperative CT images and pre- and postoperative gait data were used to create subject-specific musculoskeletal models and complete the inverse dynamics analysis (IDA). Two patients with typical gait characteristics were selected using clustering analysis, and their IDA data were incorporated into finite element (FE) models of IS and TS fixations. Failure simulation was performed by applying iterative steps with increasing gait load to predict yield load. Stress results and yield loads were calculated for each FE model at different phases of the gait cycle.

Results: Postoperative gait showed improvement compared to preoperative gait but remained inferior to that of healthy individuals. Postoperative gait was characterized by a lower hip range of motion, lower peri-ilium muscle forces, particularly in the abductors, and a sharper initial peak and flatter second peak of hip joint reaction force (HRF). Finite element analysis (FEA) showed a trend of increasing stress during the second–fourth phases of the gait cycle, with lower stress levels in other phases. At high-stress gait phases, the mean stress of maximum p¯100 differed significantly between IS and TS (p < 0.05) and between coupled and uncoupled muscle forces (p < 0.05). Failure analysis predicted a slightly larger yield load for TS configurations (6.21*BW) than that for IS (6.16*BW), but both were well above the gait load. Coupled and uncoupled groups showed similar results, but uncoupled groups had lower yield loads (5.9*BW).

Conclusion: PAO early postoperative gait shows a normalized trend, but abnormalities persist. IS and TS are both capable of resisting mechanical strain failure, with no significant mechanical advantage found for transverse screw fixation during PAO early postoperative gait. Additionally, it is important to note that the TS may have a higher risk of cyclic fatigue failure due to the localized greater stress concentration. Furthermore, the most medial screw is crucial for pelvic stability.

O conhecimento pormenorizado da hidrodinâmica estuarina é fulcral para a tomada de medidas que permitam reduzir a vulnerabilidade e aumentar a resiliência dos estuários. Os modelos numéricos podem desempenhar um papel fundamental no apoio à decisão, mas para tal é necessário que produzam resultados fiáveis. Com esse objetivo é proposta a técnica dos ensembles, que permite combinar os resultados de diferentes modelos. Este é o principal objetivo do projeto EsCo-Ensembles, no qual foram desenvolvidos dois modelos numéricos diferentes aplicados nos estuários do Douro e do Minho e para os quais foram desenhados diversos cenários, considerando estados atuais e futuros, fluxos de cheia e valores extremos do nível do mar segundo as projeções dos RCPs do IPCC. É esperado que os resultados deste projeto forneçam uma caracterização hidromorfodinâmica completa das áreas estuarinas consideradas, permitindo avaliar tendências futuras e estimar os riscos de inundação, demostrando que o uso combinado de diferentes modelos reduz a sua incerteza e aumenta a confiança e consistência das previsões.

Authors: Répás R. Sándor
Published: July 2023

In the few years since the Raspberry Pi was released in 2012, countless microcomputers based on the ARM architecture have been introduced.Their small size, high performance relative to their power consumption, and the ability to run the popular Linux operating system make them ideal for a wide range of tasks. Information security is an area of particular importance. Different encryption and encoding algorithms play an important role in almost all areas of information security. However, these algorithms are very computationally intensive, so it is important to investigate which microcomputers can be used for these tasks, and under which trade-offs. The performance of ten different microcomputers is investigated and presented for the application of common symmetric and public-key encryption and decryption, digest creation and message authentication protocols, such as RSA, AES, HMAC, MD5, SHA. Reliable encryption requires the generation of reliable (pseudo)random numbers (Cryptographically Secure Random Numbers, CSRN), and microcomputers based on ARM SoCs usually have hardware implemented (pseudo)random number generators. The applicability of the random number generat er generators. The applicability of the random number generators of different microcomputers are investigated and presented; test methoods are described , and recommendations are made.

Authors: Ramírez Moreno Juan , Prieto Rivera José , Lora Fálquez José , Bernal Aponte Julián , Gonzales Marín Néstor , Ramírez Moreno Oscar
Published: July 2023

Introducción: el tinnitus es una patología prevalente que se presenta en el 10 %-15 % de la población, su diagnóstico es clínico y tiene un impacto negativo en la calidad de vida. La terapia de reentrenamiento del tinnitus (TRT) busca categorizar y ofrecer un manejo adecuado integral a los pacientes para hacer una rehabilitación individualizada con una mejoría en el 80 % de los pacientes. En los últimos años, se ha supuesto que los cambios en la implementación de la TRT mejoran su efectividad global. A la fecha, no se tiene evidencia científica que resuma los hallazgosconcluyentes de estos estudios, por lo cual se plantea una revisión sistemática de la literatura que reúna y sintetice de forma exhaustiva y sistemática toda la literatura con adecuada rigurosidad metodológica sobre la eficacia del manejo con TRT en pacientesadultos con diagnóstico de tinnitus, para estimar una medida combinada del tamaño del efecto de la intervención. Materiales y métodos: se plantea una revisión sistemática de la literatura en cuatro bases de datos diferentes, sin límite de idioma o tiempo; acorde con la metodología de las guías PRISMA. Resultados: se encontró un total de 24 264 artículos, de los cuales 15 fueron elegidos para la extracción dedatos. De estos, 7 eran ensayos clínicos y 8 estudios de cohorte, con una media de Jadad de 1,55. Todos usaron el protocolo de Jastreboff y Hazell con una media de seguimiento de 16,15 ± 7,8 meses. Discusión: la totalidad de los artículos incluidosreportó una mejoría en los valores del Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) (eficacia) que persistió durante la media de seguimiento. Adicionalmente, asociado a su uso se reportó una mejoría en la calidad de vida, sueño, desempeño laboral y socialización con el uso de TRT en dispositivos convencionales o dispositivos móviles. Conclusión: los reportes de los estudios incluidos son congruentes en determinar una reducción de la THI en pacientes con tinnitus de diferentes causas y estadios cuando son tratados con TRT bajo el protocolo Jastreboff y colaboradores, en el seguimiento a largo y corto plazo.
Evaluating Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench (Sorghum) Vigour at Juvenile Stage in Agroforestry Parklands Systems According to a Climatic Gradient in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Authors: Coulibaly Yacouba Noël , Zombré Gérard
Published: July 2023

Agroforestry parklands, due to their dependency on rainfall remain vulnerable to climate change. This research assessed a rainfall gradient effect on sorghum height to evaluate its vigour for formulating recommendations to maintain and/or improve crop productivity in agroforestry parklands under climate change. Studied agroforestry parklands consisted of an association of Sorghum with Vittelaria paradoxa C. F Gaertn (Karite) and Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) Benth (Nere) at sites located in Burkina Faso’s three climatic zones. Sorghum height was higher at lower rainfall. Higher sorghum height was associated with Karite at all the studied sites. It was higher at low rainfall for both tree species. Sorghum height increased from the zone under canopies to outside canopies associated with both tree species. For all zones, sorghum height was higher in association with Karite. The lowest sorghum height was in the first zone under canopies at all the studied sites, while for all zones, sorghum height was higher at low rainfall. The sorghum growth rate was higher in association with Karite, lower in the first zone under canopies and higher at low rainfall. The sorghum growth rate increased with the increase in the number of days after sowing at all the sites, in all the zones and under both tree species. The risk of sorghum production loss could be important in agroforestry parklands under high rainfall due to reduced vigour, and this risk could be reduced under low rainfall. Promoting Karite in agroforestry parklands could enhance sorghum vigour and reduce the risk of sorghum production loss under climate change in the Sahel. It could be recommended farmers avoid cultivating Sorghum in the zone nearest to the tree trunk in agroforestry parklands.

Management of risk of corporate distress and failure before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic via corporate governance performance
Authors: Ajeigbe Kola Benson , Ganda Fortune
Published: July 2023

The impact of the recent pandemic on aspects of corporate governance, business, a country's economy, corporate distress, failures, and the general well-being of companies has been a subject of robust discussion. This study was conducted to examine the influence of corporate governance in mediating and managing the risk of corporate distresses and failures before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The study employed the Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (PARDL) model on annual data from 2010 to 2021 to analyze the short-run and long-run effects of the pandemic on corporate governance and sustainability performance. The results from both the short-run and long-run effects are similar, revealing that the estimated coefficient of the debt-to-equity ratio, finance costs, and COVID-19 related costs are negative but significant in the models. Conversely, the coefficients of the current ratio, quick ratio, and board size from both short-run and long-run effects show positive and significant results. Generally, the findings reveal that the coefficient of board size, as a proxy for corporate governance, has a very strong influence in mediating the risk of corporate distress and failure before, during, and after the pandemic period, up to a certain level until the pandemic’s impact was severe on companies’ production, sales, and other operational performance. Based on the above findings, it is recommended that the board of directors and other management boards employ enhanced good governance strategies and improve risk control mechanisms that enhance company performance during the pandemic to help avert corporate distresses and failure rates thereafter.

Published: July 2023

President Joko Widodo in his second term of government has five visions to achieve, but must face the Covid-19 pandemic which has changed all aspects of the state, including policy directions. Jokowi also uses social media Twitter to provide updates on official state activities through the @jokowi account. For this reason, this research wants to see how the framing or media frames displayed by Joko Widodo's official account before and during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this research is to see how social media Twitter is constructed in framing President Joko Widodo's policies before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Is it still in accordance with the five visions of the government in the second period or is it already different.

This research constructs President Joko Widodo's social media twitter during the second administration period before and during the pandemic. The method used is qualitative with framing analysis, which concerns how the media interprets, understands and frames the events that are reported. The state of the art of this research is to continue previous research on the framing of President Jokowi's government on YouTube media tempodotco and detikcom.

The results of this research are what President Joko Widodo conveyed on his Twitter account before the pandemic focused more on the vision of accelerating infrastructure development, and investing as wide as possible. Meanwhile, during the pandemic, more work was done on the vision of human resource development, bureaucratic reform and the right-target State Budget to tackle Covid-19.

Effects and mechanisms of plant antioxidants in periodontitis and osteoporosis
Authors:   , Li Xumin
Published: July 2023

Associated with the aging of the world population, periodontitis and osteoporosis are regarded as two major public health problems nowadays. Osteoporosis and periodontitis-induced alveolar bone loss are the most common bone degeneration pathologies. Although the pathological conditions of both diseases are different, they have mechanistically quite some similarities. Oxidative stress (OS), resulting from their pathological conditions, plays an important role in the bone loss of periodontitis and osteoporosis. Development of effective treatment requires a better understanding of the detrimental conditions and the related potential treatment approaches. In this thesis, we investigated the relationship between oxidative damage and periodontal tissue destruction in periodontitis, as well as the role of three plant antioxidants (silibinin (SB), curcumin (Cur), and notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1)) in periodontitis or osteoporosis. We found that: 1. Enhanced local and systemic oxidative damages are associated with more severe levels of periodontal tissue destruction. The downregulation of Nrf2 in periodontal tissues plays a key role in diabetes mellites-induced periodontal tissue destruction aggravation. 2. SB administration can down-regulate periodontitis-induced OS and inflammation, so as to attenuate periodontal tissue destruction in experimental periodontitis. 3. Cur significantly prevented the OS-induced damage of osteoblasts through activating GSK3β-Nrf2 signaling pathway and scavenging reactive oxygen species. 4. NGR1 significantly attenuates OS-induced mitochondrial damage and restores osteogenic differentiation of osteoblast through the blockage of JNK signaling pathway. In conclusion, plant antioxidants (Cur, NGR1, SB) effectively inhibit cellular oxidative damage-induced bone loss in osteoporosis and periodontitis, thus bearing potential therapeutic value to these diseases.

Published: July 2023

Introducción: En México alrededor de 120,000 pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica requieren terapia sustitutiva mediante HD. Los angioaccesos para HD pueden ser temporales, semipermanentes y definitivos. Los catéteres semipermanentes tienen una mayor sobrevida, mayor flujo sanguíneo extracorpóreo y menor recirculación sanguínea. Existen diferentes diseños en la terminación de los catetéres (punta simétrica y punta escalonada) asociados con porcentaje de recirculación y con la adecuación de diálisis. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la adecuación de hemodiálisis en catéteres con punta simétrica recubierta de heparina y plata contra punta escalonada, en pacientes en hemodiálisis crónica con angioaccesos previos.

Métodos: Se aleatorizaron los pacientes en dos grupos, definidos como grupo uno a los cuales se les colocó el catéter con punta simétrica recubierto de heparina y plata y grupo dos a los pacientes con catéter con punta escalonada, considerando la presencia o ausencia de secuela estenótica. En el seguimiento evaluó la dosis de diálisis (a través de Kt/V, porcentaje de reducción de urea y recirculación sanguínea). Los resultados se evaluaron a través de X2, t student y/o U Mann Whitney con el paquete estadístico SPSS versión 21.

Resultados: En el período de abril a junio de 2017 se incluyeron a 38 pacientes, hasta el momento han concluido el periodo de seguimiento 28 pacientes 15 del grupo 1 y 13 del grupo 2. El KT/V reportado fue de 1.14 para el grupo 1 y 1.28 para el grupo 2, asi como el porcentaje de reducción de urea de 61 y 63 para los grupos 1 y 2 respectivamente (P=0.25). El porcentaje de recirculación reportado en 2.97 para el grupo 1 y 1.96 para el grupo 2 (P=0.34).

Conclusión: En el presente estudio no existen diferencias en la dosis de diálisis y el porcentaje de recirculación de urea en catéteres de punta simétrica y punta escalonada, por lo que un estudio de costo beneficio es imperativo.
