Inclusión en escenarios educativos rurales y hospitalarios: una reflexión desde la perspectiva del reconocimiento
Authors: Manco Rueda Sergio Andrés , Henao García Nadia Milena , Llanos Redondo Mayerly , Quintero López Dayro León
Published: May 2024

El artículo tiene como propósito problematizar la inclusión educativa desde la perspectiva del reconocimiento a partir de las vivencias relatadas por niñas, niños, docentes y cuidadores sobre el acto educativo en escenarios hospitalarios y de escolaridad rural. Para ello, la inclusión educativa se asume como una apuesta pedagógica y política que se va tejiendo desde las formas en que se relacionan afectiva y emocionalmente los actores en estos espacios y tiempos educativos. Así las cosas, el artículo inicia con una breve disertación teórica que trenza a modo de elementos bisagra las relaciones entre inclusión educativa y perspectiva del reconocimiento. Posteriormente, se lleva a cabo una interpretación crítica de los relatos de los actores que develan las luchas por el reconocimiento como prácticas de inclusión que se contraponen a las experiencias de menosprecio como prácticas de exclusión en escenarios educativos hospitalarios y de escolaridad rural. Y, por último, a modo de final abierto se dejan planteadas algunas conclusiones que invitan a seguir pensando, desde la pedagogía rural y hospitalaria, la inclusión educativa a partir de la dimensión simbólica de las relaciones afectivas y emocionales configuradas entre los actores como acto de justicia sustentado en los sentimientos de autoconfianza, autorrespeto y autoestima.
sentimiento de lástima. La necesidad de transformar la mirada en los procesos de inclusión educativa de personas con discapacidad
Authors: Kaplan Carina Viviana , Roa Andrés Leonardo
Published: May 2024

El giro afectivo en el campo educativo representa la oportunidad de comprender los procesos de constitución intersubjetiva recuperando la dimensión emocional de los vínculos en la trama escolar. Los sentimientos portan una dimensión relacional y se expresan en tramas vinculares. La lástima es un sentimiento estructurado bajo dinámicas y relaciones de poder que esconde ciertas ideas de superioridad e inferioridad humana. En las instituciones educativas se ponen en juego estas distintas significaciones y formas de entender y sentir la lástima (de la otredad y de sí), vertebrando las relaciones entre  sujetos y constituyendo la mirada escolar. El elemento de lucha por el reconocimiento es central para comprender los sentires frente a la falta de respeto y desprecio. Nos interrogamos acerca de cómo funciona la lástima como mecanismo y cuáles son sus efectos sobre las trayectorias socioeducativas de estudiantes con discapacidad.
Rational Use of Antibiotics in Childhood Pneumonia: A review
Authors: Mridha Md Al Amin , Rahman Md Shakibur
Published: May 2024

Inappropriate antibiotic treatment in childhood pneumonia may lead to greater expense, antibiotic resistance, toxic side effects, or even death. Important risk factors are infant and young children, low birth weight, nonexclusive breastfeeding, malnutrition, vitamin A deficiency, incomplete immunization and exposure to polluted air. Common organisms involved in pneumonia in neonatal periods are gram negative rods, group B streptococcus and staphylococcus. Beyond the neonatal period S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, staphylococcus and mycoplasma are common. MRSA, gram negative rods and Legionella spp are commonly involved in nosocomial pneumonia. Rational use of antibiotic for bacterial pneumonia is based on probable organism, age, vaccination and clinical status of the child. Children who do not require hospitalization should have high doses of amoxicillin 90 mg/kg/day orally divided twice daily, alternatives include cefuroxime and amoxicillin/clavulanate. For schoolaged children when mycoplasma is suspected, azithromycin is generally preferred, alternatives clarithromycin can be given. Fully immunized against H. influenzae type b and S. pneumoniae children who are not severely ill should give ampicillin or penicillin G. For children who do not meet these criteria: ceftriaxone or cefotaxime should be given. If clinical features suggest staphylococcal pneumonia (pneumatocele or empyema), then include oxacillin or vancomycin. Vancomycin and meropenem are the initial treatment of choice for nosocomial pneumonia. Pneumonia in neonatal period should have ampicillin plus gentamicin or ceftazidime plus amikacin. Antibiotics should be continued until the patient has been afebrile for 72 hours, and the total duration should be 10 days. Selection of appropriate antibiotic in childhood pneumonia considering age of the child, risk factor, probable organism, immunization status and clinical severity are paramount important.

Authors: Dey Sanjoy Kumer , Hossain Md Arif , Yasmin Faria , Jahan Ismat , Hassan Shabuj Mohammad Kamrul
Published: May 2024

Background: Identification of congenital heart disease (CHD) is increasing, may be due to advancement of diagnostic technology and availability of trained man power. Several studies have been conducted in Bangladesh to identify the prevalence and pattern of CHD but paucity of data regarding etiology and outcome.
Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the frequency and risk factors of so that preventive measures can be taken.
Methods: This retrospective case control study was conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), BSMMU, Dhaka from January 2021 to June 2022. All admitted neonates in NICU with the diagnosis of CHD were considered as cases. Twice number of newborn having gestational age and birth weight matched neonates diagnosed other than CHD in NICU were considered as control. Data were extracted from the Medical records of patient files and computer electronic data records of “Newborn Birth Defect (NBBD) surveillance in Bangladesh.” The level of significance was set at 5% (P <0.05).
Result: Total 914 patient were admitted during the study period among them 119 patient were CHD (frequency rate 13%). Mean birth weight and gestational age of CHD group were 2376±783.85g & 35.80±3.26 weeks respectively. About 85.7% had acyanotic CHD, among them most prevalent were atrial septal defect (42%) then patent ductus arteriosus (11.8%). Cyanotic CHD were 17 (14.3%). Maternal DM significantly increase the risk of developing CHD, Odd’s ratio 1.971 (CI: 1.182 - 3.285). Death were more in CHD group (34.5%) than control group (20.4%), p values = 0.005.
Conclusion: Frequency (13%) of congenital heart disease was high. Maternal diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing CHD of their baby. Death were more among babies with CHD.

Authors: Akter Naznin , Haque Sheikh Azimul , Islam Rumana , Saad Tania
Published: May 2024

Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is one form of inflammatory demyelinating disorder of central nervous system affecting the children following an idiopathic course of onset and usually monophasic. Recurrent ADEM is a rare entity and will arise a confusion about its diagnosis. There is no definite clinical criteria and treatment protocol for the management of ADEM. Here we report a case of recurrent ADEM where a 6 year old boy presented with recurrent episodes of low grade fever, difficulty in walking, altered sensorium and focal seizure. MRI of brain showed reappearance of demyelinating lesion on the previous site. The gap between first and second episode was six months. After the first attack of ADEM patient was completely recovered both clinically and neuroradiologically with immunotherapy. But after 7 months of disease free remission, patient again developed same features. So we diagnosed the baby as recurrent ADEM based on the consensus criteria of International Pediatric MS study group (IPMSSG).

Published: May 2024

A significant population experiencing hypertension, blood pressure (BP) demonstrates a significant rise during the awakening hours, it is linked to heightened cardiovascular complications during this time of the day. Many medications used to manage high BP fail to effectively control BP in the early morning, especially when administered once daily in the morning. Key factors to consider when choosing an efficient antihypertensive medication include the agent's pharmacokinetics, formulation, and timing of dosing. Examples of antihypertensive drugs with proven efficacy in regulating early morning BP include medications with extended pharmacologic half-lives, like telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker), amlodipine (a calcium antagonist), and bisoprolol (a beta-blocker). Administering chronotherapeutic preparations at bedtime has also been shown to be effective in managing early morning BP. There is a correlation between elevated early morning BP and cardiovascular risk, future clinical studies should emphasize evaluating the performance of antihypertensive drugs during this critical period of heightened risk.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: Myringoplasty is the surgical procedure to repair tympanic membrane perforations and thereby improving hearing, providing a dry ear, and reducing susceptibility to infections. Although there are many kinds of techniques and graft materials used, no methods have proven indisputably superior to the other. Therefore, to find out the outcome of myringoplasty using temporal fascia and sliced tragal cartilage in chronic inactive mucosal otitis media was set as an objective of the study. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the department of Otolaryngology & Head-Neck surgery, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital (ShSMCH) for six months from July 2018 to December 2018, after acceptance of the protocol and approval from IRB. Patients attending in the ShSMCH with complaints of chronic inactive mucosal otitis media were approached for inclusion of the study and final selection were done in according to the selection criteria. Ethical issues were ensured properly throughout the study period and inclusion was confirmed following signing written informed consent. All patients were randomly allocated into two groups where one group were received myringoplasty with temporalis fascia graft and another group received sliced tragal cartilage. Total 50 patients (25 patients in each group) were included, and they were subjected to details history taking, physical examination and necessary investigations. The researcher conducted all the interview and collected data were recorded into a case record form for each patient. Data analysis was done by SPSS 17. Results: Of total, 50 study population, mean age of the 32.30±10.93 SD (years) with 58% male and 42% females respectively. No significant age and gender difference is noted across the group (p>0.05). Patients having temporal fascia graft had significantly higher proportion of graft uptake in comparison to patients having sliced tragal graft (p<0.05). Both groups of the patient improve significantly in term of hearing after operation (p<0.05 in each group) but comparison in between groups showed that the improvement was significantly higher in temporal fascia graft group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Myringoplasty with temporal fascia graft could be a better option than sliced tragal cartilage graft in our population. However, further larger study with longer follow up is necessary to finalize the comment.

Role of Sertaconazole in the Treatment of Dermatophytosis
Authors: Khondker Lubna
Published: May 2024

Dermatophytosis is a major health burden worldwide and is now increasing day by day. Dermatophytosis is also becoming increasingly unresponsive to topical conventional antifungals now a day. Newer topical antifungals may be more effective in these patients. Sertaconazole is a new, broad spectrum, fungicidal and fungistatic imidazole with added antipruritic and anti-inflammatory activity that may be effective and beneficial in improving the quality of life for the patient with dermatophytoses. It is indicated in the European Union(EU) for the treatment of superficial skin mycoses such as dermatophytosis (including tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea manus, tinea barbae and tinea pedis), cutaneous candidiasis, pityriasis versicolor and seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp, and in the US for tinea pedis only. Sertaconazole has broad-spectrum antifungal activity against dermatophytes of the Trichophyton, Epidermophyton and Microsporum genera, and yeasts of the genera Candida and Cryptococcus; additionally, it is effective against opportunistic filamentous fungi and Gram-positive bacteria. Moreover, the antifungal activity of sertaconazole is maintained in clinical isolates of dermatophytes that show reduced susceptibility to other azoles. While the drug has good dermal penetration, this is not associated with systemic absorption. In clinical trials in patients with superficial mycoses, 2% sertaconazole cream applied twice daily was effective in the eradication of a range of dermatophytoses, and a significantly greater proportion of patients were cured compared with those receiving 2% miconazole cream twice-daily treatment. Both as a topical cream and suppository preparation, sertaconazole was generally well tolerated. Sertaconazole is a well-established antifungal agent, which is now available in a variety of formulations, and remains a useful treatment option particularly in patients with fungal infections resistant to other azoles.

Published: May 2024

A epilepsia é uma desordem neurológica caracterizada pela predisposição permanente do cérebro em gerar alterações comportamentais súbitas e crises epilépticas recorrentes. Estima-se que está perturbação neurológica afeta mais de 50 milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo, aparecendo entre as condições cerebrais mais comuns, com maiores incidências nos países em desenvolvimento, como é o caso do Brasil. Assim, o presente estudo tem como objetivo caracterizar o perfil epidemiológico e analisar a tendência temporal da mortalidade por epilepsia no Brasil entre os anos de 1999 a 2019. Para isso foi realizado uma categorização epidemiológica segundo variáveis sociodemográficas conforme o Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde -DATASUS. Para analisar a tendência temporal, o modelo de regressão joinpoint foi aplicado como também foi calculado a variação percentual anual e seu respectivo intervalo de confiança IC95%. As regiões Sul e Centro-oeste apresentaram as maiores taxas de mortalidade, em contrapartida, as regiões do Nordeste e norte foram as menores. Para as características sociodemográficas, destacara-se o sexo masculino 65,12%, faixa etária ≥ 60 24,86%; pessoas brancas 46,36% e pessoas com escolaridade < 8 anos 35,01%. A análise da tendência temporal identificou um crescimento anual de 3,1% na taxa de mortalidade por epilepsia, onde o sexo feminino e as regiões norte e nordeste também apresentaram os maiores percentuais de aumento anuais da taxa de mortalidade. Problemas psicológicos, como depressão e ansiedade, condições sociais, falta de informação e tratamento farmacológico incorreto são fatores que impulsionam ao agravamento da epilepsia. Assim, o controle da mortalidade para epilepsia pode ser a eficácia de fatores sociais e saúde qualificada.

Authors: Trunova Olena , Berezhnytska Оleksandra , Rohovtsov Oleksandr , Makotryk Tamara , Rusakova Mariya
Published: May 2024

Neodymium heterometallic complexes [(NdМIIEDDS)(H2O)6]∙n2H2O (МII=Zn, Co; n = 3; 2) were synthesized by the «block» synthesis method using protonated ethylenediaminedisuccinate of the 3-d metal and NdIII nitrate. The complexes were characterized by spectroscopic methods (UV-VIS electronic absorption spectroscopy and FT-IR) and elemental ana­lysis. It is shown that the f-d-complexes belong to the «folded» type complexes, in which the ligand-EDDS realizes the maximum dentateness to NdIII, and the coordination sphere of the 3-d cation is formed by chain carboxyl groups of EDDS and intraspherical water molecules. At the same time, the cations of 3d metals are in a distorted octahedral environment, and the coordination polyhedron of the neodymium ion corresponds to a square antiprism (C4v) with the coordination number NdIII = 8. In solutions and in the solid state, the complexes have the same type of structure. The sensitivity of various morphological forms of Candida albicans in Spider and Saburo media to neodymium complexes NdIII with ethylene diamine disuccinate: NdEDDS (I), NdEDDSZn (II) NdEDDSСo (III) in the range of concentrations of the studied compounds 1; 10 and 100 μM was studied. It is shown that the antifungal properties of the complexes vary in the range NdEDDSСo> NdEDDSZn ≥ NdEDDS. The inhibition index of C. albicans in the composition of the biofilm in the Saburo medium under the action of the complexes was 20–25% of the control value, and in the Spider medium the complexes led to 95% of cell death.

Authors: İlhan Taşkın Zeynep
Published: May 2024

The dynamic structure of the global economy is one of many factors that affect the fluctuations in the global financial markets. COVID-19, like all other epidemics, has been an important period in human history. Exporting and importing oil are also important distinctions in economies. This study aims to investigate the dynamic relationship between stock market closing prices and Brent oil prices of six major oil-importing and oil-exporting economies during the COVID-19 period. These stock markets have a significant impact on the world economy and serve as reference points for evaluating industry performance. The Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) method are used to model the complex interactions of the energy market and markets. It aims to reveal the relationship between fluctuations in energy prices and other macroeconomic indicators. According to the findings, it is concluded that fluctuations in oil prices have a non-negligible impact on stock markets due to the persistence of ARCH effects and volatility in each financial market. Assuming that volatility continues, it is seen that volatility continues to have an impact on the markets examined.

El ensayo La cultura organizacional en España, publicado en Tecnos por el profesor Alberto Vallejo Peña, constituye una excelente ocasión para disfrutar de una visión sintética y clarividente sobre el comportamiento de las organizaciones españolas, y sobre las fortalezas, debilidades, pero también oportunidades que la especificidad del modelo cultural organizativo español ofrece en la actualidad.
La necesaria institucionalización del carisma. Burocracia y caudillismo durante el régimen franquista
Authors: Sales Juan Carlos
Published: May 2024

La presencia de burócratas dentro de cualquier sistema político no garantiza, per se, que este sea un sistema organizado racionalmente en el sentido de una dominación legal. Por ejemplo, la cúspide del poder político franquista estuvo mayormente copada de personas que, además de la lealtad a la ideología del nuevo Régimen, se caracterizaban por pertenecer al cuerpo mismo del Estado. Sería erróneo, sin embargo, atribuirle las características de una administración racional y moderna: el sentido de este tipo de burocracia es muy diferente al uso estrictamente político del mismo. Para determinar la esencia política que opera en los mandos del franquismo es conveniente especificar antes el proceso de la toma de decisiones: en quién recae ese poder y bajo qué presupuestos se ejecuta.Algunas comparaciones con las teorías sustentadoras de este procedimiento con las teorías sobre la dominación y la legitimidad ofrecerán la clave real de la finalidad reformadora de algunos agentes del Régimen, concretada en las reformas político-administrativas de los años 50 y 60. Tras estas reformas, la legitimidad adquirida estará posicionada en la racionalidad burocrática y las leyes procedimentales, sin que de ello se suceda necesariamente la instauración de un Estado de Derecho ni premisas democráticas.

En El tiempo del testimonio. Las víctimas y el relato de ETA, María Jiménez Ramos nos presenta una obra fundamental para comprender lo que significó y las consecuencias que ha generado la existencia de la mencionada organización terrorista. Este último apartado tiende a blanquearse en los últimos tiempos mediante el recurso a sintagmas ajenos a la verdad real, como “víctimas de ambos lados” o expresiones deliberadamente intencionadas como “todos hemos sufrido”.

The biologically active part of medicinal plants is usually used for therapeutic treatments or as a precursor in pharmacology. Aqueous, chloroform, ethanol, methanol and Hexane were used as a solvent to extract the essential oils of  kaliziri (Centratherum anthelminticum). Antimicrobial actity of the extracts were checked against four gram positive (Bacillus cereus, B. pumilus, B. safensis, Staphylococcus sp.) and 8 gram negative bacterial strains (Aeromonas sp., Pasteurella sp., Escherichia coli, Enterobacter sp., Proteus sp., Pseudosomonas sp., P. aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi) by agar well diffusion method. Phytochemical screening was  also performed. Results showed that highest (30 mm2) microbial zone of inhibition (MZI) observed in the extract of chloroform with Aeromonas sp. This followed by four strains, i.e., Bacillus cereus, B. pumilus, Proteus sp. and Salmonella typhi showed 28, 27, 25 and 24 mm2 MZI, respectively except water extract. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of all solvent extracts varied with different bacterial strains. The range of MIC was 50 mg/mL to 500 mg/mL, where highest 500 mg/mL MIC of all extracts observed against Pseudosomonas sp. followed by 100-500 mg/mL MIC against Salmonella typhi. Presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, phytosterols, phenol, tannin, terpenoids and saponins confirmed by qualitative analysis. High solubility of tannins and terpenoids in chloroform demonstrated the effectiveness of metabolites against bacterial strains

Introduction

Oolong tea, celebrated for its significance in Chinese tea culture, was the subject of investigation in this study.

Methods

Five varieties of Minnan oolong tea were sampled, each cultivated under two distinct management approaches: conventional management and natural growth methods. The study aimed to discern variations in sensory attributes, encompassing appearance and liquor color, alongside the analysis of chemical composition.

Results and discussion

The results indicated that oolong tea cultivated through conventional manual management generally exhibited qualities in terms of shape and foliage appearance, in contrast to those grown naturally. However, naturally grown oolong tea tended to exhibit more favorable aroma and taste profiles compared to conventionally managed counterparts. Furthermore, the content of water extract, amino acids, polyphenols, caffeine, and other pivotal chemical constituents were typically higher in naturally grown tea varieties compared to conventionally managed ones. Conversely, catechin content was found to be more abundant in traditionally managed bushes than in those grown naturally. These findings emphasize the significance of implementing appropriate natural growth management practices to enhance the quality of Minnan oolong tea and maintain ecological sustainability.
Evaluating the impact of indoor aerosols on the performance of real-time radon sensors

Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, poses a significant health risk by accumulating in buildings and potentially leading to lung cancer. Depending on building construction and geographical location, radon levels can vary substantially both within individual buildings and between different buildings. While previous studies have primarily focused on the impact of temperature and relative humidity on radon devices, the influence of aerosols remains largely unexplored. This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of the influence of indoor aerosol sources on the performance of real-time radon sensors, encompassing consumer, medium, and research-grade devices. Measurements were performed at relatively low (300 Bq/m3) and high (2′000–3′000 Bq/m3) radon levels in a controlled environment—a stable atomic shelter with constant temperature and humidity conditions. Six different aerosols sources were introduced to produce aerosols of different sizes and concentrations. The results suggest that the tested indoor aerosols did not significantly influence the performance of radon devices, irrespective of their grade or detection method. Consequently, sensor performance and the radon levels being investigated may exert a more significant influence on the obtained results than aerosol levels alone. This paper provides valuable insights into the influence of indoor environment on the performance of radon measuring devices, underscoring the importance of understanding their utility and application scope for researchers, professionals, and the general public alike.
Gut microbiota microbial metabolites in diabetic nephropathy patients: far to go

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the main complications of diabetes and a major cause of end-stage renal disease, which has a severe impact on the quality of life of patients. Strict control of blood sugar and blood pressure, including the use of renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors, can delay the progression of diabetic nephropathy but cannot prevent it from eventually developing into end-stage renal disease. In recent years, many studies have shown a close relationship between gut microbiota imbalance and the occurrence and development of DN. This review discusses the latest research findings on the correlation between gut microbiota and microbial metabolites in DN, including the manifestations of the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites in DN patients, the application of the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites in the diagnosis of DN, their role in disease progression, and so on, to elucidate the role of the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites in the occurrence and prevention of DN and provide a theoretical basis and methods for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Introduction

Periodontal diseases are known to be associated with polymicrobial biofilms and inflammasome activation. A deeper understanding of the subgingival cytological (micro) landscape, the role of extracellular DNA (eDNA) during periodontitis, and contribution of the host immune eDNA to inflammasome persistence, may improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlaying severe forms of periodontitis.

Methods

In this work, subgingival biolfilms developing on biologically neutral polyethylene terephthalate films placed in gingival cavities of patients with chronic periodontitis were investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). This allowed examination of realistic cytological landscapes and visualization of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) including amyloids, total proteins, carbohydrates and eDNA, as well as comparison with several single-strain in vitro model biofilms produced by oral pathogens such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus gordonii, S. sanguinis and S. mitis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis was also used to identify eDNA derived from eubacteria, streptococci and members of the Bacteroides–Porphyromonas–Prevotella (BPP) group associated with periodontitis.

Results

Analysis of subgingival biofilm EPS revealed low levels of amyloids and high levels of eDNA which appears to be the main matrix component. However, bacterial eDNA contributed less than a third of the total eDNA observed, suggesting that host-derived eDNA released in neutrophil extracellular traps may be of more importance in the development of biofilms causing periodontitis.

Discussion

eDNA derived from host immunocompetent cells activated at the onset of periodontitis may therefore be a major driver of bacterial persistence and pathogenesis.
