Steroid Antibiotic Pack Versus 10% Ichthammol Glycerol Pack in Management of Acute Otitis Externa: A Comparative Study
Authors: Akshaya Thrinetrapriya N  , Nandhini R  , Shoba K
Published: January 2021

Acute otitis externa is a common clinical condition that presents with rapid onset of otalgia, fullness, otorrhea and canal oedema. Moisture in-ear canal appears to be an important predisposing factor. The most common etiological agents include Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Management includes control of otalgia and elimination of infection from the ear. Precipitating factors should be avoided. The main objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of 10% ichthammol glycerol ear pack with steroid antibiotic ear pack in the treatment of acute otitis externa. Institutional Review Board (IRB) clearance was obtained, and a prospective randomised clinical trial was conducted in the ENT outpatient department of Saveetha Medical College & Hospital, Thandalam, from January 2020 to March 2020. Patients were explained about the study in detail, and consent was obtained. The patients were randomised, and 10% ichthammol glycerol pack and steroid antibiotic pack were used in alternate turns for aural packing. Pain rating was done using Numerical rating scale (NRS) before and 48 hours post-treatment and also in each subsequent hospital visit till complete subsidence of symptoms. Among the 85 patients included in the study, 42 (49.4%) were males, and 43 (50.6%) were females. Most of them belonged to the age group 31-40 years (41.2%). Tragal tenderness and external auditory canal oedema were the most common ear findings noted. In the patients treated with steroid antibiotic pack, only 2.3% of the patients had severe pain, whereas 14% had moderate pain and 83.7% had only mild pain. Whereas among those treated with 10% ichthammol glycerol pack, 9.5% of the patients had severe pain, whereas 35.7% had moderate pain and 54.8% had mild pain. On analysis, the results were statistically significant, and there was considerable pain relief with steroid antibiotic pack. Therefore, our study showed that steroid antibiotic pack is more effective in relieving the symptoms, thereby reducing the number of hospital visits when compared to 10% ichthammol glycerol pack.

Published: January 2021

Fractures of the distal femur are high-velocity injuries and are associated with factors such as fracture comminution and osteoporosis, especially in elderly individuals which are quite challenging to manage. Various implants and techniques are available for the surgical management of these fractures. This study was performed to evaluate the functional outcome of these fractures following ORIF (Open reduction and internal fixation) with the DFLP (Distal femoral locking plate). Thirty patients with distal femoral intraarticular fractures who presented between February 2013 to February 2016 were managed by ORIF with DFLP and were followed up for three years. Functional evaluation was performed using the Neers scoring system. The average age of the patients was 38.06 years ranging from 22 to 64 years. There were twenty-one males, and nine females seen in our study with the right side being more commonly affected. We achieved a 100% union rate in our series with the meantime to fracture union being 12.86 weeks. We had excellent results in 65% of patients and satisfactory results in 35% of patients with minimal complications. ORIF with the DFLP is a unique biological fixation option in intraarticular fractures of the distal femur, and it provides for reasonable rates of fracture union and an excellent functional outcome with minimal complications.

Authors: Chaparro-Narváez Pablo , Alvis-Zakzuk Nelson J. , Díaz-Jiménez Diana , Castañeda-Orjuela Carlos
Published: January 2021

Objective. To describe the mortality trends of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Colombia, by sex and age group, from 1979 to 2017.

Methods. We carried out an ecological study using mortality data from the Colombian National Administrative Department of Statistics. Crude and age-standardized annual mortality rates per 100 000 people were estimated. Trends of standardized rates were described by sex and age groups. Joinpoint regression models were performed to study mortality trends.

Results. Throughout the whole period, the total number of DM recorded deaths in Colombia was 200 650, 58% (116 316) in women (p<0.05). The age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) by sex increased from 13.2 to 26.6 deaths per 100 000 in women and from 10.1 to 22.7 in men from 1979 to 1999. We observed a decrease from 26.6 to 15.4 per 100 000 in women, and from 22.7 to 15.9 in men for the period 1999-2017. The joinpoint regression analysis showed that the average annual percentage change of the period did not vary in both sexes (men: -0.2%, 95% CI 1.0 to 1.4%; women: 0.7%, 95% CI 0.1 to 1.6%).

Conclusions. The DM mortality showed a decreasing trend after 2000 in women and 2004 in men. Primary and secondary prevention programs must continue to be strengthened for an earlier diagnosis of diabetes.

Background: Dietary intake of fat, salt and sugar is important for prevention of noncommunicable diseases; therefore, evaluation of these constituents in industrial packaged foods is necessary. Aims: To compare the levels of fat, salt and sugar in mayonnaise and salad dressings commercialized in the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2017 and 2019, and to monitor compliance with standard limits. Methods: The levels of fat, salt and sugar in 12 mayonnaise and 47 salad dressing samples collected from an Iranian market were evaluated according to the Iranian Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran (ISIRI) and compared between 2017 and 2019. Results: We determined compliance with ISIRI limits and other standard targets. The salt content of mayonnaise samples significantly decreased from 2.03 (standard deviation; 0.3) g/100 g in 2017 to 1.61 (0.12) g/100 g in 2019 (P = 0.031). Total sugar level of mayonnaise samples significantly decreased from 5.97 (1.14) g/100 g in 2017 to 3.63 (0.53) g/100 g in 2019 (P = 0.005). The total sugar level of salad dressings significantly decreased from 8.97 (2.34) g/100 g in 2017 to 1.58 (2.65) g/100 g in 2019 (P = 0.039). Compliance of mayonnaise and salad dressing fat contents with ISIRI limits increased from 42.9% and 84.6% in 2017 to 100% and 90.5% in 2019, respectively. None of the mayonnaise samples met the British Food Standards Agency salt target (maximum 1.25 g/100 g) in 2017 and 2019. Conclusions: Reformulation of these products for reduction of salt and sugar content is necessary.

Authors: Seol Ki Ho , Bong Su Hyun , Kang Dae Hun , Kim Jun Won
Published: January 2021

Objective Approximately half of patients with cancer have comorbidities, such as adjustment disorder, major depressive disorder, and delirium. Radiotherapy can cause psychological problems, e.g., the fear of treatment and its side effects, anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Health-related quality of life (QoL) must be determined to evaluate the effectiveness of cancer treatment. We analyzed the clinical, psychological, and sociodemographic factors influencing the QoL of patients with cancer who were undergoing radiotherapy.Methods Twenty-six patients undergoing radiotherapy (10 male, 16 female) were included. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected prior to radiotherapy. Psychosocial factors were assessed by self-reported questionnaires before, immediately after, and 3 months after radiotherapy. A multivariate regression analysis identified factors affecting QoL at each time point.Results Patients’ diagnoses were breast, cervical, prostate, endometrial, rectal, hypopharyngeal, laryngeal, liver, gallbladder, esophageal, ovarian, lung, and skin cancers. Before radiotherapy, better resilience was significantly associated with a higher QoL score (R2=0.199, p=0.033). Immediately after radiotherapy, financial difficulty was significantly associated with a lower QoL score (R2=0.274, p=0.010). Three months after radiotherapy, the presence of chronic disease (R2=0.398, p=0.002) and the severity of nausea and vomiting were significantly associated with a lower QoL score (R2=0.278, p=0.014).Conclusion Resilience, financial difficulty, the presence of chronic diseases, and the severity of nausea and vomiting significantly influenced the QoL of patients with cancer who were undergoing radiotherapy. Factors affecting QoL varied at each time point. Thus, patients with cancer should undergo regular mental health assessments, including assessments of QoL. Multidimensional (physical, psychological, and social) approaches and individualized time-based interventions are needed to improve the QoL of cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.
Desplazados y refugiados climáticos. La necesidad de protección por causas medioambientales
Authors: Solanes Corella Ángeles
Published: January 2021

Este trabajo plantea el vínculo entre el cambio climático y la movilidad humana desde la perspectiva de la protección internacional. Para ello puede hablarse tanto de desplazados como de refugiados climáticos. Mientras se consolida la idea de amparar a las personas desplazadas en el contexto de desastres y cambio climático, persiste la discusión acerca de los refugiados medioambientales. Desde este estudio se evidencia la urgencia de articular un estatuto de refugiado climático a partir de la revisión de la Convención de Ginebra de 1951. Para realizar una aproximación a la configuración jurídica de la noción de refugiado climático, se analiza de modo crítico las iniciativas existentes y la aportación del Comité de Derechos Humanos. Se evidencia así que la degradación ambiental puede comprometer, entre otros, el disfrute efectivo del derecho a la vida y dar lugar a la necesidad de protección internacional.
En torno a la lectura rawlsiana de la filosofía moral de David Hume
Authors: Tasset Carmona José Luis
Published: January 2021

John Rawls shows a deep influence of David Hume’s thought, mainly at his Theory of Justice, though also at the rest of his works. This influence is well-known in the field of political philosophy, much less in the field of moral philosophy. Rawls reads Hume’s thought with a sceptic and naturalistic key, attributing him what he calls a “nature fideism”. Besides this, attributes to Hume an ethical and political position linked with the classical utilitarianism. Nevertheless, his skeptical epistemology will move away, paradoxically, to Hume from the utilitarian positions. Hume’s ethics and politics will finish, according to Rawls, showing a purely descriptive character and a lack of normative purposes. Hume does not have in the strict sense a theory of practical reason. This article examines and puts in question this interpretation of Hume proposed by John Rawls. The philosophy of Hume is not aporetically skeptical, articulates the moral roles of reason and the passions; and finally, is not only connected with utilitarianism; his defense of the role of utility frees to his theory of some of the main contradictions of classical utilitarianism. Besides this, the theory of the “judicious spectator” can be considered a form of a theory of practical rationality.

Liberal Pluralism, Public Reason, and the Basic Freedoms
Authors: Brudner Alan
Published: January 2021

Taking religious freedom as illustrative, this essay proposes a theory of the basic freedoms that pacifies the conflict among libertarian, egalitarian, and communitarian sects of liberalism. This theory follows John Rawls’s suggestion that constitutional courts are exemplars of public reason but rejects his partisan construal of public reason in terms that only an egalitarian liberal would recognize. If, as Rawls argues, liberal pluralism is reasonable and if constitutional courts are guardians of public reason, then an ideal constitutional court will guide itself by the theory of the basic freedoms that reconciles liberal pluralism with the rule of public reason. Such a theory will integrate the plurality of liberal sects into an inclusive liberalism that preserves a distinctive role for each in defining and limiting constitutional rights, while refining them of the errors resulting from their hegemonic ambitions. Liberal pluralism is thus preserved, but liberal fragmentation is overcome. Public reason is sought not through an escape from pluralism but in a logical concord among the denominations of liberalism. The way for courts to execute this concord in constitutional cases is to follow the method of reasoning they have already largely adopted. That method is proportionality review.

El desarrollo profesional del profesorado de Educación Superior y su formación en sostenibilidad en es una prioridad máxima para dotar de calidad a las universidades y así, dar respuesta desde este ámbito a las problemáticas socioambientales enmarcadas en la Agenda 2030 a través de los Objetivos para el Desarrollo Sostenible. La presente investigación pretende poner en valor una experiencia de formación y desarrollo profesional docente, el programa de mentorización “Academy Sustainability Latinoamérica” (AcSuLA), llevada a cabo entre varias universidades españolas y varias latinoamericanas de tres países diferentes (universidades colombianas, peruanas y chilenas). La lógica metodológica de la investigación-acción y la estrategia de mentorización nos han permitido identificar facilitadores, barreras y retos de futuro presentes en los procesos formativos de las universidades latinoamericanas participantes en el programa materia de sostenibilidad. Los resultados muestran las barreras y facilitadores en 7 dimensiones de análisis (currículo, profesorado, directivas académicas, cultura institucional, directiva institucional, contexto local y contexto global) que ponen de manifiesto cómo la falta de apoyo y compromiso desde el marco político universitario o la falta de asignación y reconocimiento por pertenecer al proyecto pueden ser algunas dificultades significativas a la hora de implantar el programa. Si bien, un conjunto de elementos facilitadores del proceso que tienen que ver con la generación de sinergias y redes de trabajo interpersonales e interinstitucionales se sobreponen a esos obstáculos y favorecen un cambio en los modelos de gestión y práctica docente y que hacen de este proyecto, una iniciativa innovadora para explotar y expandir a otros contextos.

Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde, daha ekonomik olması nedeniyle gelişmiş ülkelere göre sebze tüketimi hızla artmaktadır. Sebzelerde kadmiyum (Cd) birikimi, küresel olarak insan sağlığını tehdit eden önemli bir çevresel konudur. Sebzelerin Cd stresine tepkisini anlamak ve yönetim stratejilerini uygulamak, sebzelerin Cd alımını azaltmaya yardımcı olabilir. Bitkilerin Cd alımını etkileyen faktörler arasında tuzluluk yer almaktadır. Tuzluluk, dünyadaki en büyük abiyotik streslerden biridir. Tuzlu toprakta Cd bulunması sorunu daha da kötüleştirir. Bu amaçla yürütülen çalışmada brokoli bitkisine 3 farklı Cd dozu (0.1, 0.5 ve 2.5 mg Cd kg-1 ) ve 4 farklı tuz dozu (0, 200, 600, ve 1800 mg NaCl kg-1) uygulanmıştır. Denemede bitkinin yeşil aksam kuru madde verimi ve yeşil aksam Cd alımları incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre Cd 0.1 mg kg-1 olduğu dozda kuru madde verimi tuz uygulamasının kontrolünde 3.59 g bitki-1 iken artan tuz uygulamalarına bağlı olarak sırasıyla 3.43, 2.83 ve 2.36 g bitki-1 olarak azaldığı belirlenmiştir. Tuzsuz ve Cd 2.5 uygulamasında kuru madde verimi 3.0 g bitki-1 iken tuzun en yüksek dozunda yaklaşık 2 kat azalarak 1.64 g bitki-1 düzeyine gerilemiştir. Düşük miktarda Cd ile kontamine olmuş toprak tuzluluk ile bir arada olduğunda Cd alımının arttırdığı saptanmıştır. Bitkilerin yeşil aksamındaki K konsantrasyonları bütün tuz uygulamaları altında azalma eğilimi gösterirken, 2.5 mg Cd kg-1 ve 1800 mg NaCl kg-1 uygulamasında K konsantrasyonu 4.19’dan 3.06’a mg kg-1 düzeyine düştüğü belirlenmiştir. Sonuçta, tuzlu topraklarda brokolide Cd alımının yüksek miktarda birikebileceği ortaya konulmuş olup brokolide daha az Cd biriktiren çeşitlerin belirlenmesine ihtiyaç olduğu saptanmıştır.

The aim of this study is to examine whether the gender, sports branch, department and class, and class participation of the students studying in the School of Physical Education and Sports undergraduate program differ according to E-learning styles. 340 students (male: 201, female: 139) from Republic of Turkey Mardin Artuklu University Physical Education and Sports School have voluntarily participated in the study in 2020. The “E-learning Styles Scale” developed by Gülbahar and Alper (2014) has been used as data collection tool in the study. As a result, significant differences were found in favor of women in audio-visual learning and autonomous learning for gender variable, in favor of individual sports in audio-visual and autonomous learning for sports type variable, in favor of team sports in social learning. Significant differences were found in favor of I. class students in comparison with II. and III. class students in social learning for the class variable and in favor of students studying at Physical Education and Sports Teaching department compared to Coaching Education and Sports Management in logical learning for department variable. Significant difference was found in favor of the students participating in the synchronous class compared to the students attending the asynchronous and mixed (Sometimes Asynchronous Sometimes Synchronous) class in autonomous learning for class participation variable.

Objetivo: analisar as condutas da enfermagem na prevenção de lesões por pressão em recém-nascidos em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN). Método: Tratou-se de uma pesquisa de campo, do tipo descritiva, exploratória, com abordagem quanti-qualitativa, realizada com 12 profissionais de enfermagem em uma Maternidade pública. Os dados foram analisados de acordo com a análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin, dentre as técnicas de análise de conteúdo utilizou-se a análise temática. Resultados: Evidenciou-se que as práticas utilizadas pela equipe de enfermagem na prevenção das lesões por pressão na UTIN ocorrem mediante a mudança de decúbito, a utilização do óleo de girassol, a hidratação da pele e a higiene corporal. Dentre os fatores associados às lessão por pressão nos recém-nascidos, destacaram a pele desidratada, deixar o RN na mesma posição, higiene inadequada e a utilização de dispositivos. Quanto a utilização da Escala de Braden, a equipe não faz uso do instrumento. Conclusão: Diante do exposto, concebeu-se a necessidade de maiores regalias, por parte dos gestores da instituição e do serviço de saúde, para que haja tais atividades baseadas em evidências científicas e a elaboração de um protocolo de cuidados com a pele do recém-nascido.

Objetivo: analisar o processo de formação interdisciplinar em um programa de residência multiprofissional com ênfase hospitalar. Método: estudo com abordagem qualitativa, e enfoque crítico- reflexivo. O cenário da pesquisa foi um hospital de referência terciária, em Fortaleza-Ceará, que contém a residência multiprofissional voltada ao cuidado cardiopulmonar, campo que comporta a população em estudo do presente trabalho, sendo 10 entrevistados, entre residentes e preceptores que orientam o processo de trabalho das categorias profissionais. A coleta de dados foi dividida em duas fases: a priori aplicou-se a entrevista semiestruturada aos residentes e preceptores, posteriormente, realizou-se a análise documental do Projeto Político Pedagógico da Residência Integrada em Saúde.  Resultados: os residentes reconhecem a importância do programa para o aperfeiçoamento profissional, para o fortalecimento da gestão em saúde e para a construção de uma formação pautada no trabalho multiprofissional, e com um método problematizador, coerente com as necessidades da comunidade. Evidenciam-se vulnerabilidades, enfatizadas pela pouca valorização dos profissionais e por métodos formativos ainda distantes da prática cotidiana. Conclusão: A residência como processo formativo na relação entre ensino-serviço, no qual ocupa espaço nos cenários de saúde, buscando alinhamento nas propostas do Sistema Único de Saúde e no fazer saúde.

Este estudo teve como objetivo descrever a atuação da enfermagem no cuidado ambulatorial a uma pessoa que sofreu queimaduras elétricas e que encontra-se em tratamento conservador. Para tanto, seguiu-se as recomendações do Case report guidelines. Relato de um único caso com paciente adulto que sofreu queimadura elétrica e estava em tratamento conservador e acompanhamento ambulatorial em um hospital universitário do Sul do país. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista e consulta ao prontuário ao longo do tratamento. Estudo aprovado por comitê de ética local. Inicialmente, pela gravidade do paciente, o mesmo permaneceu internado em unidade de terapia intensiva, seguida de enfermaria, onde foram realizados curativos com sulfadiazina de prata, ácido graxo essencial, colagenase e ainda, procedimentos cirúrgicos de desbridamento e enxertia. Ao longo do acompanhamento ambulatorial, foram realizadas diversas avaliações considerando aspectos da cicatrização das lesões e também psicossociais. As avaliações da enfermagem e suas intervenções para melhorar a cicatrização/recuperação das queimaduras, frente às dificuldades cirúrgicas e individuais, levaram a cicatrização completa após quase dois anos de atendimento. Conclui-se que o tratamento conservador de queimadura grave, como no presente caso, é demorado e oneroso para o sistema de saúde, paciente e família. Entretanto, utilizando-se de conhecimento sólido sobre cicatrização de feridas e seus aspectos relacionados, é possível que a enfermagem estabeleça um tratamento adequado, com bons resultados.
