Analisis pembuktian prima facie berdasarkan sabitan qarinah dalam kesalahan matrimoni di Mahkamah Syariah Selangor
Authors: Sabarudin Shadli , Mohd Nor Aishah , Saidon Rafeah
Published: November 2022

Sesuatu dakwaan yang dilakukan di Mahkamah Syariah, pada asasnya bertujuan untuk menuntut hak atau kepentingan terhadap sesuatu perkara, ataupun bertujuan mempertahankan kepentingan tersebut daripada pihak yang mempertikai. Beban pembuktian terhadap sesuatu pendakwaan terletak atas pihak yang mendakwa. Dalam konteksjenayah di Mahkamah Syariah, seorang Pendakwa Syarie boleh mendakwa Orang Kena Tuduh (OKT) dalam kes yang melibatkan jenayah syariah atau kesalahan matrimoni apabila wujud qarinah yang kuat (prima facie). Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan menganalisis pembuktian prima facie berdasarkan sabitan qarinah dalam kesalahan matrimoni di Mahkamah Syariah Selangor. Permasalahan kajian ialah tiada panduan bertulis bagi proses membuktikan kes prima facie dalam kesalahan matrimoni. Objektif kajian ialah menganalisis pembuktian prima facie dalam kesalahan matrimoni. Bagi tujuan pengumpulan data, pengkaji telah menggunakan kaedah kualitatif iaitu kaedah analisis dokumen, fail-fail Mahkamah Syariah serta alasan penghakiman. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa kesalahan matrimoni merupakan jenayah di bawah Enakmen Undang-undang Keluarga Islam (Negeri Selangor) 2003 (EUKIS 2003) yang tertulis sebagai kertas pertuduhan dan fakta kes dan menjadi sabitan qarinah yang kuat (prima facie) bagi seorang Pendakwa Syarie untuk mendakwa OKT. Kesimpulan kajian ialah qarinah dalam kertas pertuduhan dan fakta kes merupakan beban bukti ke atas Pendakwa Syarie untuk mewujudkan kes prima facie terhadap kesalahan OKT. Namun begitu, qarinah tersebut mesti mencapai tahap yang yakin atau al-zan al-ghalib, bukan pada tahap zan, syak dan waham. Kajian ini memberi implikasi kepada penerokaan ilmu Undang-undang Keluarga Islam khususnya dalam membuktikan kes prima facie terhadap kesalahan matrimoniselain daripada kes jenayah syariah.
PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN LAMPU ATRAKTOR CELUP TERHADAP HASIL TANGKAPAN JARING INSANG PERMUKAAN DI PERAIRAN SELAYAR
Authors: Muhyun Ainun Apriliyani , Puspito Gondo , Mawardi Wazir , Mustaruddin Mustaruddin
Published: November 2022

Prinsip pengoperasian jaring insang adalah menghadang arah ruaya ikan. Keberhasilannya sangat tergantung pada ketepatan pemasangan jaring. Salah satu solusi untuk memperbaiki metode penangkapan adalah menambahkan alat pengumpul ikan berupa lampu atraktor yang dicelupkan ke dalam perairan. Jenis lampu atraktor yang cocok adalah lampu light emitting diode (LED). Tujuan yang ingin dicapai dari penelitian adalah menentukan komposisi jenis ikan hasil tangkapan dan membuktikan bahwa penggunaan lampu atraktor celup akan meningkatkan jumlah ikan hasil tangkapan. Jaring insang permukaan yang digunakan sebanyak dua unit. Salah satu unit dilengkapi dengan lampu atraktor celup. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan lampu atraktor celup tidak mempengaruhi keragaman jenis ikan tangkapan. Kedua jaring insang menangkap 20 jenis ikan yang sama, yaitu lencam (Lethrinus obsoletus), tambak moncong (Lethrinus microdon), tambak belah (Lethrinus harak), ketambak (Lethrinus atkinsoni), jangki (Lethrinus ornatus), petek (Secutor indicius), cotek (Secutor insidiator), kakap ekor pelana (Lutjanus gibbus), kakap emas (Lutjanus johnii), belanak (Moolgarda perusii), gereh (Moolgarda seheli), baronang susu (Siganus canaliculatus), baronang kalung (Siganus virgatus), baronang angin (Siganus javus), baronang kunyit (Siganus puellus), baronang tompel (Siganus punctatus), kwee (Caranx tille), botana biru palsu (Acanthurus nigricauda), elak (Kyphosus vaigiensis), dan bandeng (Chanos chanos). Namun demikian, pemakaian lampu atraktor celup terbukti meningkatkan jumlah ikan hasil tangkapan jaring insang sebanyak 1.924 ekor, atau 74% lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan jaring insang tanpa lampu (1.108 ekor).
Mental models and engineering education: a literature review
Authors: Li Simon , Chua Catherine , Campo Jay , Raza Kashif
Published: November 2022

Mental model is a term that has been discussed in three contexts: (1) how mental models are understood in cognitive psychology, (2) how learners learn in science subjects, and (3) how people solve practical problems. Since mental models have been discussed in different contexts, this paper aims to conduct an integrative literature review that analyzes the materials published on mental models and their relevance for engineering education. The outcome of the review is a conceptual framework of mental models for engineering education with two highlights. First, mental models can help characterize learners’ (mis-)understanding of scientific concepts and technical systems. Second, mental models are of practical use when learners are engaged in some problem-solving tasks. In turn, mental models have a potential to support deep learning and project-based learning.
Perceptions of Engineers' Environmental Responsibility and Professional Codes of Ethics
Authors: Randall Emma Jane , Strong David
Published: November 2022

In Canada, provincial and territorial level Professional Engineering Codes of Ethics (PECoEs) derived from national guidelines presented by Engineers Canada, provide principles for engineers to aid in decision making and to evaluate the ethical correctness of professional behaviour [1]. Engineers Canada states that engineers must, “Hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public and the protection of the environment and promote health and safety within the workplace” [1]. This is frequently the only guideline directly related to the environment included in Canadian provincial and territorial PECoEs)[2-13]; Notably, Ontario’s PECoE currently does not explicitly mention the environment in any capacity [14]. Present professional engineering ethics guidelines for environmental responsibility are either missing or largely open to interpretation in Canada, and complex environmental issues may require more robust ethical frameworks to be effectively approached long-term within engineering industry.

Developing PECoEs requires a better understanding of how engineers view their ethical responsibility with respect to the environment. This paper outlines a study to investigate the ethical beliefs and PECoE interpretations of participants through an online survey with ethical case studies, and interviews. The ultimate goal of this research is to aid the development of PECoEs and engineering ethics education to support sustainable practice.

Published: November 2022

Background: Spinal collars were brought in 1967 into the administration of spinal injury care as it was believed that this procedure of immobilization would forestall any further neurological or spinal harm in high-risk patients. This study was done to assess the incidence of neurological deficit following road traffic accidents with cervical spine immobilization compared to no cervical spine immobilization in patients visiting Taif hospitals.
Methods: A cross-sectional investigation of the patients who have encountered street car crashes was done from the time of July 2018 2022. The information was collected through a survey that assess the presence or non-attendance of neurological shortfalls in patients who had the cervical collar (CC) immobilization applied and the people who had not.
Results: A total of 322 patients took part in our poll and cross-sectional review. The highest number of people were who did not utilize the CC when they own up to the emergency department (67.1%); accordingly, that significance (p = 0.009) demonstrated the powerlessness of the CC to diminish the deficiencies. Also, its presence did not diminish the complete number of patients in the Intensive care unit (ICU), however, the opposite occurred (p = 0.005).
Conclusion: The utilization of a CC did not resist diminishing either the neurological deficiencies or admission to the ICU where most patients did not admit to the ICU unit which might be on the grounds that the greater part of patients did not confront cervical spine injury.
Self-efficacy, professional ethics, and internal audit quality
Authors: Djaddang Syahril , Lysandra Shanti
Published: November 2022

This study aims to investigate the effects of self-efficacy and professional ethics on internal audit quality and the role of professional ethics in moderating the relationship between self-efficacy and internal audit quality. We use the purposive sampling method to generate the sample from the internal auditors of Bogor City, resulting in 38 final samples. The findings demonstrate that both self-efficacy and professional ethics significantly affect internal audit quality, and professional ethics fully moderate the relationship between self-efficacy and internal audit quality. Thus, our results imply that the Indonesian governments (both at central and local levels) need to enhance their internal auditors' self-efficacy and professional ethics to improve internal audit quality in the public sector.

Role of inorganic and organic ions in response to salt and drought stresses
Authors: Ghaffari Akram
Published: November 2022

Plants have different responses to salt and drought stresses. They transport several ions to balance osmotic potential and stomatal closure and opening. Ions including inorganic and organic cations and anions play a crucial role to alleviate abiotic stresses (salt and drought). Inorganic cations containing Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ and inorganic anions comprising Cl-, PO42-, NO3-, SO42- have a great role in osmotic and ion hemostasis in response to salt and water stresses. Organic anions like acetate, succinate, malate, citrate and oxalate showed vital impacts on alleviating damages of drought and salt stresses that lead to higher yield in severe conditions. In order to recognize the mechanisms that increase tolerance of salt and drought stresses, this review illustrates roles of organic and inorganic anions and cations and their interactions on osmotic adjustment, stomata closure and ion hemostasis. Halophytes will be compared with glycophytes as the proper models to find out differences in stress tolerance mechanisms.

Published: November 2022

Objetivo:Analizar las tendencias de la mortalidad por cáncer de cuello uterino en Colombia, teniendo en cuenta los efectos de edad, periodo y cohorte.
Métodos:Los datos de mortalidad y de población se tomaron de las bases oficiales del Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadísticas, DANE. Se ajustaron cinco modelos, la significancia de los efectos se obtuvo comparándolos a través de la prueba de razón de verosimilitud.
Resultados:La tasa de mortalidad ajustada por edad, en muertes fue de 15.09/100,000 mujeres, para el periodo 1985-1989 y 10.21 para el periodo 2010-2014. El cambio promedio porcentual anual fue de -1.45% (IC 95%: -1.57% a -1.34%). Se encontraron efectos de edad, periodo y cohorte.
Conclusiones:Los factores demográficos podrían explicar el comportamiento de la mortalidad por cáncer de cuello uterino en Colombia, al igual que la instauración de medidas de salud pública en las dos últimas décadas.
Tendencias en la incidencia y la mortalidad por cáncer en Manizales, Colombia, 2008-2017
Authors: Arias-Ortiz Nelson Enrique , Rodríguez-Betancourt Juan David
Published: November 2022

Objetivo
Describir las tendencias en incidencia y mortalidad por cáncer en Manizales, Colombia, entre 2008-2017.
Métodos
Se incluyeron todos los casos incidentes de cáncer en Manizales captados por el Registro Poblacional de Cáncer de Manizales entre el 1º de enero de 2008 y el 31 de diciembre de 2017, así como todas las muertes causadas por cáncer en el mismo periodo. La población en riesgo se obtuvo de las estadísticas del DANE. Se calcularon tasas de incidencia y mortalidad ajustadas por edad según sexo y localización del cáncer. Se evaluaron cambios en las tendencias mediante una regresión Joinpoint.
Resultados
Se registraron 11,188 casos incidentes, 56.7% en mujeres. Ocurrieron 4,996 muertes por cáncer, 52.6% en mujeres. Los cánceres de mama, próstata, estómago, tiroides, pulmón y colon, representaron el 50% de todos los casos incidentes. Durante este periodo, la incidencia en mujeres descendió y equiparó a la de los hombres, a partir de una disminución significativa en los cánceres de cérvix, estómago, y pulmón, entre otros; asimismo, la mortalidad en mujeres disminuyó levemente, debido a la reducción en muertes por cáncer de cérvix, estómago, esófago y tejidos blandos. En contraste, en hombres la incidencia y la mortalidad general no variaron.
Conclusiones
El envejecimiento poblacional ha contribuido a una mayor carga de cáncer. En términos de incidencia y mortalidad, los avances en la lucha contra esta enfermedad aún son discretos. Es prioritario reforzar las estrategias para el control del cáncer con enfoque diferencial por sexo.
Trends in long-term cancer survival in Cali, Colombia: 1998-2017
Authors: Bravo Luis Eduardo , Garcia Luz Stella , Collazos Paola , Holguin Jorge Alirio , Soerjomataram Isabelle , Miranda-Filho Adalberto
Published: November 2022

Background:
Population-based cancer survival is an indicator of the effectiveness of cancer services that reflects the survival of all cancer patients in the population, regardless of socioeconomic status and disease characteristics.
 
Aim:
Provision of an up-to-date survival estimate of patients recorded within Cali Population Cancer Registry (RPCC) in 1998-2017. As a second objective, results will be compared with those reported by the CONCORD study for cancers prioritized by the current Ten-Year Cancer Control Plan of Colombia, 2012-2021.
 
Methods:
Adult cancer cases (aged 15 to 99 years) for nine cancer types diagnosed between 1998 and 2017, with follow-up to 2018, were obtained from the RPCC. The 5-year age-standardized net survival estimates (NS) were estimated using the Pohar-Perme. The results for the period 1995- 2014 were compared with those reported by the CONCORD study for the following locations: stomach (C16), breast (C50), cervix (C53), prostate
(C61), and lung (C33-34).
 
Results:
Five-year survival estimates for breast and prostate cancers improved ten percentage points through 2007 (70.8 to 81.1 for breast and 79.9 to 90.2 for prostate) and remained stable during 2008-2017. For cervical cancer, survival estimates has remained stable for the last two decades at 53%. For stomach cancer and lung cancer, five-year NS was lower than 25% over the study period. For colorectal cancer, survival estimates increased from 37.9% in 1998-2002 to 54.8% in 2013-2017. Compared to previous 5-year survival estimates of cases diagnosed in 2010-2014, the estimates in this study are significantly higher than those obtained by CONCORD. Survival estimates of patients diagnosed in 1995-2009 showed no difference to CONCORD study.
 

Conclusions:
Periodic update of vital status and date of last contact reduces bias in survival estimates in population-based cancer registries with passive follow-up.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the oncology services demand in a middle-income setting with universal health insurance
Authors: Zuluaga Maria , Luna Maria Camila , Jurado Natallie , Soto-Cala Beatriz , Solano Julio César , Sánchez-Forero Ricardo , Murillo Raúl
Published: November 2022

Aim:
We analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on oncology service demand in a middle-income country with universal health coverage.
Methods:
We collected data from January 1st-2017, to December 31th-2021 at a reference center in Bogotá-Colombia regarding first-time consultations of cross-cutting services (clinical oncology, hematology, palliative care, radiation oncology); specialized multidisciplinary units (breast, prostate, lung, stomach); inpatient and outpatient systemic therapy; radiotherapy; oncology surgery; and bone marrow transplant. In addition, a descriptive time series analysis was performed, estimating monthly percent change and endemic channels.
Results:
Starting the confinement (April 2020), a general decrease in service demand was observed (R: -14.9% to -90.0%), with an additional but lower reduction in August 2020 coinciding with the first pandemic wave (R: -11.3% to -70.0%). Follow-up visits and ambulatory treatment showed no consistent reductions. New patients’ consultations for cross-cutting services had a speedy recovery (1 month), but clinical oncology, specialized units, and in-hospital treatment resumed more slowly. Only breast and stomach cancer showed a sustained reduction in early-stage disease. Women and older patients had a more significant reduction in service demand.
Conclusion:
Despite no changes in service supply, the confinement induced a significant reduction in service demand. Variations by cancer type, service type, and population demographics deserve careful consideration for a suitable response to the emergency. The speedy recovery and the absence of a significant decrease during subsequent waves of the pandemic suggest patient resiliency and a lower impact than expected in middle-income settings in the presence of universal health insurance.
El cáncer es un desafío de crecientes proporciones en la región: ¿disponemos de información de calidad para enfrentarlo?
Authors: Barrios Enrique
Published: November 2022

El cáncer representa un problema de enorme relevancia a nivel internacional. De acuerdo con las últimas estimaciones de la IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer, por sus siglas en inglés), se diagnostican más de 19 millones de casos nuevos y se registran casi 10 millones de muertes anualmente.
En Latinoamérica, el cáncer da cuenta de unas 670000 muertes anuales, con una gran heterogeneidad en sus tasas en los distintos países. El cáncer es la segunda causa de muerte luego de las enfermedades cardiocirculatorias en la mayoría de estos países, y en muchos de ellos es actualmente la primera causa de muerte prematura (aquella ocurrida antes de los 70 años).(1)
El impacto humano, sanitario y socioeconómico de estas cifras conmueve a nuestros países y sus proporciones son crecientes. Nuestra región dispone en general, de recursos humanos y materiales más limitados que los países desarrollados, además de notorias y persistentes desigualdades en el acceso a la salud. Los gobiernos, están entonces, enfrentados a un enorme desafío.
Para el control del cáncer es absolutamente indispensable disponer de información confiable y detallada. No se puede diagnosticar apropiadamente la situación, implementar las medidas y programas necesarios y menos aún evaluar sus impactos si se carece de la información de registros de base poblacional que sean además, estables y confiables.
De acuerdo con información de la Iniciativa Global para el Registro del Cáncer (GICR: Global Initiative for Cancer Registry), solo un 23.3% de la población latinoamericana está cubierta por registros de base poblacional, pero apenas el 2.4% está cubierta por registros de base poblacional de alta calidad.

Authors: Zea-Vera Andres F , Chacón Mario Alejandro , Parra Beatriz
Published: November 2022

Background
Inborn errors of immunity, mainly Predominantly Antibody deficiencies with normal IgG levels, are unrecognized in adults with lung diseases such as bronchiectasis or recurrent pneumonia.
Objective
To determine IgM, IgA, IgG2 subclass deficiencies, and Specific antibody deficiency (anti-pneumococcal polysaccharide antibodies) in adults with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis or recurrent pneumonia.
Methods
Cross-sectional study. Consecutive patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis or recurrent pneumonia were recruited in Cali, Colombia. IgG, IgA, IgM; IgE, IgG2 subclass, and IgG anti-pneumococcal serum levels were measured.
Results
Among the 110 participants enrolled, Antibody deficiencies with normal serum IgG levels were found in 11(10%) cases. IgA deficiency (3 cases), IgM deficiency (2 cases), and IgG2 deficiency (2 cases) were the most frequent primary immunodeficiencies. In addition, IgG2+IgA deficiency, Ataxia-telangiectasia, Hyper-IgE syndrome and Specific Antibody Deficiency(anti-polysaccharides) were found in one case each.
Conclusions
Predominantly antibody deficiencies with normal IgG levels are an important etiology of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis and recurrent pneumonia in adults.

Interaction analysis of FTO and IRX3 genes with obesity and related metabolic disorders in an admixed Latin American population: a possible risk increases of body weight excess
Authors: Ruiz Díaz María Stephany , Mena-Yi Diana , Gómez- Camargo Doris , Mora-García Gustavo José
Published: November 2022

Background:
Fat Mass and Obesity-related (FTO) has been one of the genes consistently related to common obesity. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FTO have been linked with the IRX3 gene.
Aim:
This study was designed by testing the hypothesis that: i) common SNPs in FTO and IRX3 are associated with obesity and related disorders; ii) there is significant linkage disequilibrium between both genes.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was carried out on the Colombian Caribbean Coast. Anthropometric and biochemical variables were measured, and obesity and metabolic disorders were diagnosed. Four SNPs were genotyped: 3 at FTO locus (rs17817449, rs8050136, rs9939609) and one at IRX3 locus (rs3751723). LD between these SNPs was estimated. A logistic regression model was applied to estimate associations.
Results:
A total of 792 subjects were included. FTO and IRX3 were not in LD (D’≤ 0.03; R2≤ 0.03). TT genotype (rs9939609) was found to be associated with waist circumference (p= 0.04; adj-p=0.01), and IRX3 SNP with Body Weight Excess (BWE) (OR= 1.06, adj-p= 0.03). One FTO-IRX3 haplotype was associated with BWE (G-A-A-T, rs17817449-rs8050136-rs9939609-rs3751723; OR= 0.67, p= 0.04). The statistical significance of these relations continued after admixture adjustment for a three-hybrid population (p= 0.03).
Conclusions:
FTO was related to waist circumference, and IRX3 was associated with BWE in Latin American adults. This relation remained statistically significant after performing an adjustment for sex, age, and genetic ancestry. Despite these genes not being in LD, findings of a haplotype involving FTO-IRX3 suggest a gene-gene interaction associated with an increased risk of BWE.
Prevalencia y determinantes de asma en adultos en Quito: un estudio transversal
Authors: Cabrera Angelita , Picado César , Barba Sergio , Fonseca Oscar , Castro Eduardo , García-Marcos Luis , Rodríguez Alejandro
Published: November 2022

Antecedentes
Aunque en el Ecuador se han realizado varios estudios epidemiológicos de asma en las dos últimas décadas, ninguno de estos ha estimado la prevalencia de asma en poblaciones adultas.  
Objetivo
Estimar la prevalencia de síntomas de asma en adultos en Quito e identificar posibles factores asociados.
Métodos
Se realizó un estudio transversal en sujetos mayores a 18 años residentes en la ciudad de Quito-Ecuador. Se aplicó el cuestionario Global Asthma Network para recolectar información sobre síntomas de asma y datos sociodemográficas y de estilo de vida. Para la identificación de factores asociados con asma se utilizó análisis bivariados y multivariados con regresión logística.
Resultados
Un total de 2,476 sujetos respondieron el cuestionario (80.9% mujeres, edad media 40 años). La prevalencia de sibilancias en los últimos 12 meses, asma alguna vez y asma diagnosticado por un médico fue de 6.3%; 1.9% y 1.6%, respectivamente.  La prevalencia de rinitis y eczema alguna vez fue de 13.7% y 5.5%. La presencia de moho en el hogar (OR: 2.13; 95%IC: 1.48-3,06; p<0.001), gato en casa (OR: 1.06; 95%IC: 1.06-2.13; p<0.022) y rinitis alguna vez (OR: 3.65; 95%IC: 2.53-5.29; p<0.022) estaban asociados con la presencia de sibilancias en los últimos 12 meses.
Conclusiones
Nuestro estudio muestra que, en comparación con otras ciudades de América Latina, la prevalencia de asma en adultos en Quito es relativamente baja. Junto con la presencia de rinitis, factores relacionados con la calidad de la vivienda están estrechamente ligados con la ocurrencia de asma en poblaciones adultas
El futuro de la rehabilitación post COVID-19
Authors: Torres-Castro Rodrigo
Published: November 2022

Tras un año y medio de la pandemia, en el que los esfuerzos se han basado fundamentalmente en evitar el colapso de los hospitales y el desarrollo de vacunas innovadoras en tiempo récord, ha aparecido una consecuencia preocupante:  las secuelas clínicas entre los supervivientes de esta enfermedad.
A partir del abrumador número de personas infectadas (más de 430 millones de personas hasta febrero de 2022), era posible predecir que un porcentaje significativo de ellas iba a desarrollar secuelas, lo que les dificultaría reintegrarse al trabajo, con sus familias y a la sociedad.  Por supuesto, no todas las personas infectadas presentaron secuelas; sin embargo, las probabilidades son significativamente mayores para los afectados por las formas más graves de la enfermedad, como los que sufrieron el síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda (SDRA), y particularmente aquellos con comorbilidades, así como los adultos mayores. En los últimos meses, este tema ha sido tan importante que ha aparecido un nuevo concepto relacionado con la persistencia de los síntomas durante más de tres meses: COVID persistente, o "COVID largo". Esta nueva condición nos permite pensar en el COVID persistente como una enfermedad crónica; por lo tanto, la rehabilitación adquiere un papel aún más preponderante por la duración de las secuelas y por los diferentes sistemas involucrados.
Editorial Commentary: Community-acquired pneumonia, comparison of three mortality prediction scores in the emergency department
Authors: Barrera Lena Isabel
Published: November 2022

Successive measurements of global disease burden have documented that lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia, are among the top 10 causes of disability-adjusted life-years, and in 2019, pneumonia was the fourth cause of mortality for all ages. In Colombia, acute respiratory infections are the leading cause of mortality within the group of infectious diseases, 52.3% of the total reported between 2005 and 2019. Notably, the COVID-19 epidemic increased the impact of respiratory tract infections on the global disease burden, with estimates of 18 million excess deaths from January 2020 to December 2021 worldwide.
The assessment of an adult with pneumonia or suspected pneumonia demands the identification of the likelihood of death and hospitalization. Several scales have been constructed to estimate this probability to improve the predictive capacity of clinical evaluation. Among these scales, the CRB-65 and the CURB-65 standout, being the first recommended for use with clinical criteria and the second when laboratory data such as urea nitrogen are available. Additionally,  for an individual with sepsis, there have been developed to predict mortality, such as  SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) and, more recently, the qSOFA(quick SOFA), which has an accurate prediction of mortality in this population.
Hincapié C et al. assessed the CURB-65, CRB-65 and SOFA scales to predict mortality and admission to the intensive care unit in adults with pneumonia in three cohorts of patients admitted in three medium- and high-complexity hospitals in the city of Medellin-Colombia. The study included 1110 patients with suspected pneumonia identified in the emergency department and followed up until discharge and death. The authors found that the highest discrimination capacity, measured by the ROC curve, for the outcome hospitalization in an intensive care unit was 0.61, 0.58, and 0.59 for the CURB-65, CRB-65, and SOFA, respectively. About mortality, the ROC found was 0.66, 0.63, and 0.63 for CURB-65, CRB65, and SOFA, respectively. The calibration was appropriate, that is, the ability to predict mortality and admission to the intensive care unit e for the three scales. Some readers have expressed their disagreement with the possible limited use of the scales, particularly the CURB-65 and the CRB-65, in the evaluation of an adult patient with pneumonia expressed by the authors.

ANDROGEN DEFICIENCY IN AGING MALE AND ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE
Authors: Шустов С.Б. , Кицышин В.П. , Фролов Д.С. , Макарова А.В.
Published: November 2022

В статье приведены данные двух собственных исследований, посвященных особенностям течения ишемической болезни сердца у мужчин на фоне возрастного андрогенодефицита. Установлено, что мужчины с коронарной болезнью сердца и возрастным гипогонадизмом характеризуются более выраженными проявлениями ишемии миокарда, дисфункцией вегетативной нервной системы, более тяжелым атеросклерозом коронарных артерий, что в наибольшей степени проявляется в старшей возрастной группе. Предполагается, что возрастной андрогенный дефицит у мужчин среднего возраста с ишемической болезнью сердца может являться компенсаторной реакцией на тяжелое общее заболевание и способствовать лучшим отдаленным результатам реваскуляризации миокарда у них. В то же время, возрастное снижение уровня тестостерона у пожилых мужчин, вероятно, играет иную роль в патогенезе и прогнозе коронарной болезни сердца, нежели у пациентов среднего возраста.

We make a review of our two researches concerning the clinical course of ischemic heart disease in males with age-dependent androgen deficiency. We prove that males suffering from coronary heart disease and age-related hypogonadism tend to have stronger manifestations of myocardial ischemia, dysfunction of vegetative nervous system, more severe atherosclerosis of coronary arteries, which is characteristic for older age. We suppose that androgen deficiency in middle-aged males suffering from ischemic heart disease may be a compensatory response to grave systemic disease and may contribute to better long-term results of myocardial revasculization. At the same time, age-related decline of testosterone in elderly males may play a contrary role in the pathogenesis and forecast of coronary heart disease compared to middle-aged patients.

Authors: Podzolkova Natalia M. , Skvortsova Margarita Y. , Denisova Yulia V. , Denisova Tatiana V.
Published: November 2022

Aim. Comparative assessment of the effect of high normotension and hypertension 12nd stage on the risk of gestational and perinatal complications.
Materials and methods. A prospective cohort study (n=110) assessing the effect of high normotension on the risk of gestational complications and pregnancy outcomes was conducted. The main group (n=70) included 30 patients with high normotension subgroup A, and 40 patients with hypertension 12nd stage subgroup B. The comparison group included 40 patients with "white coat hypertension".
Results. The most frequent complications in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy were toxaemia, threatened miscarriage, edema (detected in more than half of patients with high normotension and hypertension 12nd stage) and well as threatened preterm labor (p0.05). The frequency of pre-eclampsia development in subgroups A and B did not differ significantly, however, in patients with high normotension in the 3rd trimester during a test of endothelium-dependent vasodilation were detected signs of endothelial dysfunction, which may be one of the mechanisms for the subsequent formation of hypertension in these patients. Placental insufficiency of varying severity was detected only in subgroups A and B. Placental insufficiency, along with intrauterine fetal hypoxia of different etiologies, were the most frequent causes of emergency caesarean section, occurring only in the main group 3 (75.0%) in subgroup A and 6 (66.67%) in subgroup B and associated with blood pressure above 130/85 mm Hg.
Conclusion. The importance of preventing blood pressure increase to high normal rate is explained by the development of endothelial dysfunction at late gestation, which can serve as the mechanisms of hypertension formation in this category of pregnant women.

Published: November 2022

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases in older men. Its significance is determined not only by a decrease in the quality of life of men, but also by the development of a number of complications as a result of infravesical obstruction. About 70% of patients with symptomatic BPH require surgical treatment due to the ineffectiveness of conservative therapy. At the moment, there are many methods of surgical treatment of this pathology in the arsenal of urologists, but there is no consensus on the choice of one or another method of surgical treatment of BPH.
Aim. To study the results of modern and most common surgical methods of large BPH in patients of the older age group.
Materials and methods. The study included 243 patients who were hospitalized at Saint Petersburg City Hospital No. 15 for BPH in the period from November 2019 to November 2021. Control examination after surgery was carried out on days 57, 3 and 6 months after surgery.
Results. The first group of patients underwent bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (n=67), the second group underwent bipolar plasma-kinetic enucleation of prostate adenoma (n=69), the third group of patients underwent thulium laser enucleation (n=75), and the fourth group of patients performed laparoscopic adenomectomy (n=32). An assessment of intraoperative parameters was carried out: the duration of the operation, the duration of postoperative irrigation, bladder catheterization, bed-day spent in the hospital. In the late postoperative period (after 3 and 6 months), patients were invited for a follow-up examination. In comparison with the initial values, a significant increase in indicators was determined, characterizing the improvement in the quality of life of patients.
Conclusion. In the study, thulium laser enucleation proved to be the most effective and sparing method of BPH surgery in age-related comorbid patients, demonstrating a relatively short operation time, radical method, reduced hospital stay, early rehabilitation of patients, and high efficiency in the late postoperative period.
Uso de Tracker como herramienta de análisis en experimentos caseros para el aprendizaje de la física mecánica
Authors: Abdel Rahim Garzón Gladys Patricia , Moreno Villate Manuel Antonio
Published: November 2022

En los textos de física mecánica los conceptos de cinemática, dinámica, el teorema del trabajo y la energía (T.T.E) y la ley de la conservación de la energía se explica cada uno de ellos por capítulos, donde no se muestra una relación visible entre los temas que se ven en un capítulo y el siguiente. Por lo tanto, en este trabajo se busca contribuir, en este aspecto, con la elaboración de 3 experimentos caseros, donde para cada uno de ellos calculamos: la aceleración experimental (cinemática) y teórica (dinámica), la fuerza neta, trabajo neto y la velocidad final (usando el teorema del trabajo y la energía (T.T.E) y la ley de la conservación y la energía). Finalmente, estudiamos tanto gráfica como analíticamente las energías (cinética, potencial gravitacional y potencial elástica). Cabe notar que muchos de los procedimientos que se realizaron en este trabajo para cada uno de los experimentos, no son incluidos en los textos tradicionales de física. Esta propuesta tiene como objetivo mostrar que a partir de una experiencia real se puede conceptualizar todos los temas que se estudian en un curso de física mecánica para ingenieros.

Specific Infrastructures in Relationship with the Landscape
Authors: Mimram Marc , Durst Jacques
Published: November 2022

The design of specific infrastructures in relationship with their landscapes is a constant challenge, to achieve public acceptance through a harmonious integration. In the last three decades, we chose to work on this topic over a geographical, and technical point of view. This design path is explained over four different projects, in various contexts and at different scales– where consistent attention to the city, landscape, fabric and structural behavior subtly combines into specific designs: how asymmetry orientates the project in Bordeaux; the meeting of two districts over the railways in La Rochelle; a viaduct that offers an urban roof in Paris neighborhood; and a dialog between city and landscape in Linz (Austria).
