Published: July 2024

La preparación del docente constituye una línea de trabajo importantísima para los diferentes países del mundo. Específicamente, Cuba brinda una atención priorizada a estos lineamientos de la política educacional para enfrentar los retos educativos que emanan del III Perfeccionamiento de la Educación. Entre los retos planteados para la Primera Infancia, se encuentra el trabajo con las dimensiones, estructura que asume hoy el currículo y que exige del educador una mirada diferente para cumplir con las exigencias establecidas donde la integración de contenidos se convierte en un pilar esencial para lograr el máximo desarrollo integral posible de los niños de estas edades. Sin embargo, existen limitaciones en la práctica educativa que se evidencian en la inconsistencia y fragmentación de los contenidos en el proceso educativo de la dimensión “Relación con el Entorno”, lo que revela una contradicción, por una parte, constituye una exigencia del currículo la integración de contenidos en el proceso educativo de la dimensión y por otra la necesidad de preparación del docente a partir de las limitaciones presentadas para dar cumplimiento a estas exigencias educativas. Esto permite plantear el siguiente problema científico: ¿cómo favorecer la preparación del docente para la integración de contenidos en el proceso educativo de la Primera Infancia? Para dar solución a la problemática se plantea como objetivo proponer actividades metodológicas que favorecen la preparación del docente para la integración de contenidos en el proceso educativo de la Primera Infancia. En su implementación se utilizan las diferentes vías del trabajo metodológico y se comprueba su efectividad a través de un foro de discusión y debate donde los participantes expresan sus criterios sobre la preparación recibida exponiendo así el cumplimiento de sus expectativas. También se aplicó una entrevista de desarrollo profesional donde se alcanzan resultados positivos.

Cooley's anemia, also known as beta thalassemia major, is an inherited multisystemic disorder characterized by skeletal and non-skeletal complications resulting from hemoglobinopathies. Extramedullary Hematopoiesis (EMH) is a complication of thalassemia major due to insufficient erythropoiesis expansion. The incidence rate of paraspinal EMH in beta-thalassemia is rare but tends to be on the rise. We present a case of spinal cord compression due to intradural EMH in a 21-year-old man with Beta Thalassemia major, who exhibited acute lower motor, sensory, and autonomic disorder, along with severe anemia, and electrolyte imbalance. Patients were treated with corticosteroids, blood transfusions, electrolyte correction and pain medications. Several days later, the patient experienced clinical improvement in reduced pain and motor improvement. The patient was planned to undergo elective surgery and radiotherapy after reaching the stabilized condition. Management options of spinal cord compression due to EMH include corticosteroids, adequate blood transfusion, hydroxyurea, radiotherapy, surgical decompression, exchange transfusion, or a combination of these approaches. The choice of therapy should be based on the patient's clinical condition, diagnostic evaluations, and the size of the mass exerting pressure on the spinal cord. The optimal management of EMH remains uncertain. We need further research to establish effective treatment strategies of spinal cord compression due to EMH in Cooley’s Anemia.

Stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability. It can be classified into ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease that can cause neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) complications, one of those manifests as stroke, which happens often in young adults. Ischemic stroke is more common in SLE patient, but hemorrhagic stroke can also ensue. We present a case of SLE in a young woman with left-sided hemiparesis and convulsion. After undergoing clinical evaluation, laboratory testing, and radiological imaging, she was diagnosed with hemorrhagic stroke. She was treated conservatively; blood pressure control, steroid administration to improve the condition, and anticonvulsants.
Role of Visual Evoked Potential in Direct Traumatic Optic Neuropathy: A Case Report
Authors: Vania Aurelia , Arimbawa I Komang , Pratiwi Ni Made Dwita
Published: July 2024

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a rare cause of visual impairment following blunt or sharp trauma and the diagnosis is established clinically. Lesions on the optic nerve may not always be visible in neuroimaging examinations. Studies on Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) in TON patients are still limited, despite being beneficial for objectively detecting optic nerve lesions. A 16-year-old male patient was referred to the neurology clinic with a sudden loss of vision in the left eye approximately 25 days after a head injury due to a motor vehicle accident. The patient had epidural bleeding and fractures in the orbital and facial bones, as revealed by a head CT scan. Neurological examination showed a visual acuity of 1/300 in the left eye, left midriasis, and a negative light reflex in the left eye. VEP examination of the left eye revealed prolonged P100 latency and a decrease in P100 amplitude (>50%), indicating a lesion in the left optic nerve. This visual impairment persisted for up to 6 months post-head trauma. TON is a vision-threatening disorder that should be considered in patients with ocular or head trauma and visual impairment. A decrease in amplitude ratio <50% and prolonged P100 latency >140 ms are associated with poor visual function recovery. VEP examination is an objective assessment of visual pathway integrity and serves as one modality for early TON diagnosis and a predictor of visual function prognosis in TON patients.

Authors: Estiasari Riwanti , Firdausia Salsabila , Mulyadi Rahmad , Yunus Reyhan Eddy , Maharani Kartika , Imran Darma
Published: July 2024

Introduction : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling inflammatory demyelination of the central nervous system. The demyelination process will end up with the destruction of neurons that leads to the decrease of brain volume. Brain atrophy may cause more severe disability and affect the quality of life of MS patients, who are mostly at a young age.
Objective : Our study aims to assess the brain atrophy among Indonesian MS patients and the association between with the degree of disability.
Material and methods : A cross-sectional study included 28 MS patients. To determine the brain atrophy, we compared 11 healthy control group to the MS group. Head MRI was performed using 1.5T MRI and the brain volume was processed with Freesurfer type 6.0 automatic software.
Result : The white matter (WM) and gray matter (GM) volume of MS patients was significantly lower compared to normal control with 78.6% GM atrophy and 67.9% WM atrophy. EDSS score is significantly associated with WM atrophy but not with GM atrophy. Factors related to WM atrophy is age, age of onset, and subtype of MS. A number of lesion sites were found greater in subjects with GM and WM atrophy.
Discussion : The mechanisms of brain atrophy in MS involve inflammatory processes and neurodegeneration. Various factors, including lesion volume impact atrophy rates. Brain atrophy had correlation with EDSS scores.
Conclusion : Brain atrophy was common in MS patients and significantly associated with the level of disability and number of lesion sites.
Case Series: Risk and Clinical Manifestation of Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus After Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Ramli Yetty
Published: July 2024

Traumatic brain injury occurs due to impacts on the head or penetrating injuries that result in damage to the brain. Traumatic brain injury can lead to complications, including post-traumatic seizures. Seizures following traumatic brain injury (TBI) present a complex interplay of various risk factors and determinants that significantly impact clinical outcomes and patient management, especially in non-convulsive status epilepticus. Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is an underrecognized complication following traumatic brain injury (TBI), with potentially severe consequences for patient outcomes. Factors contributing to NCSE development include level of consciousness, injury severity, and cortical involvement. Clinical presentation is often subtle, ranging from altered mental status to focal neurological deficits. Early recognition through EEG monitoring is crucial, guiding targeted antiepileptic therapy to mitigate neuronal injury and improve outcomes Understanding these risk factors and clinical manifestations are crucial for effective surveillance, early intervention, and tailored treatment strategies aimed at mitigating the burden of seizures and improving the long-term prognosis of individuals with TBI.
Marital Status As A Predictor of Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment in Indonesia
Authors: Chandra Fani Agusta , Darmawan Octavianus
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Several modifiable risk factors have been identified as the predictors of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). However, research focusing on factors beyond biological is limited. Marital status is a psychosocial factor with recognized impact on health that needs further exploration.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between marital status and aMCI amongst older Indonesian population.
Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional study of Indonesian Family Life Survey-5. The participants (≥60 years old), excluding individuals with functional dependency, were subdivided into two based on word list recall (WLR) score (cut-off<6.5). Sociodemographic, psychological factors, physical activity, and body mass index were included as predictors. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted.
Result: A total of 4287 participants were included. Significant associations were observed between low WLR score and older age, low education, low socioeconomic status, rural residential area, being unmarried, life dissatisfaction, no social engagement, negative affect, and obesity. Multivariate analysis revealed being unmarried was significantly associated with aMCI (AOR 2.38, 95% CI 1.014–5.589, p=0.046), along with older age, low education, low socioeconomic status, and obesity.
Discussion: Being unmarried (never married, divorced, or widowed) is a significant predictor of aMCI amongst Indonesian older people. This finding can be explained by the marital resource model and the stress model.
Conclusion: This nationwide study is one of the first to explore marital status as a potential yet underexplored factor of aMCI in Indonesia. Being unmarried is associated with an increased risk of aMCI, prompting different approaches in this population.
Quantitative EEG Findings in Post-Stroke Epilepsy Patients
Authors: Ramli Yetty
Published: July 2024

Post-stroke epilepsy presents a significant clinical challenge, often accompanied by cognitive impairments. The qEEG analysis in this case reveals notable abnormalities, including increased delta waves and decreased high-frequency activity, localized to specific brain regions. These findings not only strengthen diagnostic assessments but also provide valuable insights into the underlying pathophysiology of post-stroke epilepsy. Moreover, they serve as a basis for selecting personalized therapeutic interventions, such as neurofeedback therapy. By tailoring treatment to the captured brainwave frequencies during recording, non-invasive therapeutic options can be explored as viable alternatives for patients. Integrating qEEG findings into clinical practice enhances our understanding of post-stroke epilepsy's complex nature and guides optimal patient care and management strategies.

Introduction : Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is the second most common cause of acute and subacute general paralysis. The management is symptom-adjusting, but plasmapheresis (plasma exchange/PE) and intravenous immunoglobulin immunotherapy (IVIG) can be administered to accelerate the return of neurological function. This study aim to determine PE's effectiveness compared to IVIG in GBS patients and the side effects or complications that may arise.
Method : The literature study is carried out on four databases. Selection is carried out using inclusion and exclusion criteria. The articles were screened and extracted independently by two investigators.
Results : The literature study obtained three systematic review studies. In the first study, shows the outcomes in the form of improved Hughes Score (OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.11-3.28) and mortality (OR 0.8; 95% CI 0.31-2.29) against IVIG. The second study, outcomes shown in the form of improved disability scores (WMD -0.02, p: 0.83), and secondary outcomes such as mortality or relapse (p >0.05, respectively). The third study showed that IVIG had higher efficacy (OR 1.6, p: 0.067, 95% CI 0.972-2.587), shorter duration of hospitalization, 38 days, compared to 49-day PE therapy (SMD -3.389, 95% CI -11.601-4.824; p: 0.419), however, had higher side effect (OR 0.8, p: 0.430, 95% CI 0.389-1.495).
Conclusion : PE efficacy is generally lower than IVIG, as indicated by disability scores/motor ability scores in various studies, as well as the duration of hospitalization. The safety of therapy is assessed by the side effects that appear and appear-more-often in IVIG therapy rather than PE.

Authors: Irfan Nugraha Dyandika
Published: July 2024

Introduction : The Periodic Paralysis is an uncommon group of disorders that can cause of sudden extremity weakness. The Hypokalaemia also may present with cardiovascular and neuromuscular abnormalities. Hypokalaemia can lead to clinically significant life-threatening cardiac rhythm abnormality. We present a case of a 32-year-old Javanese with sudden onset paralysis of his extremities. Laboratory evaluation revealed a significant low potassium level. The ECG showed significant bradycardia and AV block. The patient weakness improved gradually after repletion of the low potassium. The ECG also improved to normal sinus rhythm. The patient was discharged without any neurologic deficits.
 
Case Report : A 32 year-old Javanese male presented to the emergency room with sudden four extremity weakness. The patient complain begin when awoke at early morning, and unable to move his upper or lower extremities. The weakness was bilateral and predominantly involved both the proximal muscles of the shoulders and hips as well as the distal extremities.
 
Discussion : We report a case of sudden onset bilateral limbs flaccid weakness. The final diagnosis was periodic paralysis hypokalaemia. Treatment of periodic paralysis hypokalaemia consists of slow and careful correction of low potassium level. The very rapid correction exposes the risk of hyperkalaemia. Close monitoring by neurological examination and repeat examination potassium level is essential.
 
Conclusion : We report a case of sudden onset paralysis and significant cardiac abnormality related with very low potassium level. The paralysis and ECG abnormality resolved completely following potassium replacement.

There was prominent edema extending from left thyroid to whole trunk of left brachial plexus as shown on cervical MRI. The patient was given a high dose methylprednisolone and mecobalamin injection for five days. There was notable improvement on the following month - increased left eye palpebral fissure to 8 mm, equal pupil on dim light, increased left arm strength (44+55) and physiological reflexes. Nonetheless, allodynia on the left shoulder and upper arm persisted.
Discussion: Although RFA theoretically produces less power and damage per unit time, it can cause neurological complications. Heat dissipated to surrounding neural tissue including brachial plexus and sympathetic trunk. This patient developed second order HS and BPI due to edema following injury to surrounding middle cervical sympathetic ganglion and brachial plexus. Apt treatment can prevent persistent neurological deficits.
Conclusion: HS and BPI are important neurological complications that should be acknowledged following thyroid RFA.
Agalychnis callidryas: problemas y soluciones para su cría en cautiverio
Authors: Vergara-Ovalle Fabián
Published: July 2024

Frogs of the genus Agalychnis and particularly A. callidryas, with distribution in Mexico, are widely poached for the pet trade, one of their main threats. In this sense, captive reproduction of amphibians is a viable alternative for conservation although it is not easy in species with the characteristics of this frog. In the present work, some complications that arise during captive reproduction of A. callidryas and their possible solutions are described, and treatments that allowed the solution of these problems are shown: bacterial infections, helminthic infections and skin tears. The use of their body patterns for the identification of individuals is also included. The objective is to provide alternatives that can be used in zoos, aquariums and other reproductive centers, as well as in breeding programs for the conservation of threatened anurans similar to this species.

El ajolote del Altiplano en Sierra Gorda-Guanajuato: un acercamiento a su historia natural
Authors: Leyte-Manrique Adrian
Published: July 2024

Axolotls are part of the amphibian group, and their ecological and cultural value are undeniable, which is why they are the subject of research by scientists. Being one of the 30 known species of axolotls, Ambystoma velasci, better known as the Altiplano axolotl, is one of the species found in Mexico, and about which little is known about its wildlife. This work presents data about the natural history of A. velasci in the Sierra Gorda Guanajuato Biosphere Reserve, Mexico. It shows how susceptible the species is to changes in its environment, which are caused by human activities, thus making it a priority species for conservation along with its habitat in the Sierra Gorda of Guanajuato.
Servicios ecosistémicos de reptiles venenosos en el trópico seco
Authors: Balderas-Valdivia Carlos Jesús , González-Hernández Adriana , Leyte-Manrique Adrian
Published: July 2024

A synopsis is made of the ecological role and ecosystem services of the venomous reptiles that inhabit the dry tropics of the Chamela region, Jalisco, Mexico, as well as a description of the relationship with human beings from the ancient and current worldview, highlighting how recent perception is unfair, negative and unhelpful for reptiles, despite being creatures that are allies of humans for their invaluable environmental services and the benefits they provide us. Twenty one species of reptiles are listed: one lizard and 20 semi-venomous and poisonous snakes. Of these, ecological evidence is provided to influence human society and promote a change in positive perception that allows for a more fair and balanced coexistence. Education, supported information and communication of science are the elements that have a beneficial and direct impact on the venomous reptiles that form complex and biodiverse communities in the tropical dry forest.

The region of Papantla, Veracruz has a notable diversity of snakes that were important in the ancient cosmogony of the native peoples. The respect, valuation and appreciation of these living beings has been lost over the centuries due to the events of the spanish conquest, urbanization and globalization. In addition to this, and without leaving aside the conflict that exists between humans and snakes due to damage to health, religion, myths, legends, personal experiences, news sources and cinema, among other factors, have also caused negative interactions of aversion, magnifying unnecessary fears, and creating phobias towards these valuable creatures even when most do not represent any risk. The content of this work offers informed knowledge with some reflections aimed at the local population about the environmental and cultural importance of these species. In this work, a small selection of 7 species of snakes of cultural, medical, aesthetic and ecological interest that are known in the region are presented in infographic format for dissemination. With this, the aim is to influence people to promote their conservation, coexistence and eliminate negative perceptions towards them, promoting sustainability actions, mainly in the field and rural regions.

The genus Craugastor, commonly called barking frogs, is very diverse. In Mexico it is usually distributed in restricted areas, climates and types of vegetation. On the contrary, Craugastor occidentalis has an extraordinarily wide distribution that covers various states of the country, extending over very different climates and vegetation types. We make an extensive review of the species, complementing and updating its distribution map, and we report new records of the coastal barking frog for Morelos and Puebla, extending its distribution to the easternmost part of the Mexican Republic.

Plataforma para el Inventario de la Herpetofauna de México
Authors: González-Hernández Adriana , Fernández-Badillo Leonardo , Balderas-Valdivia Carlos Jesús , Leyte-Manrique Adrian
Published: July 2024

This review presents a new free access platform that contains the Inventory of the Herpetofauna of Mexico, the first virtual space in Mexico and in which Herpetología Mexicana publishes a complete list of species to contribute to the knowledge, study, conservation and outreach of the commonly known “amphibians and reptiles”. Its format is accessible and downloadable, both for specialized and non-specialized users, and is updated immediately after the appearance of studies that modify the herpetofaunal biodiversity of the country. The quantification of species in the inventory allows, among other aspects, to highlight, reaffirm and compare with data from other references that Mexico is not only one of the most biodiverse countries in Herpetofauna, but is also the richest nation in species of Mesoamerican salamanders and in snakes on the planet.
