Detonando la teoría: El caso de OASE, Journal for Architecture
Authors: Patteeuw Véronique
Published: May 2023

En sus inicios un proyecto de autoeducación, un acto crítico en contra de las revistas dominantes, OASE ha explorado, en los últimos 35 años, enfoques alternativos a la escritura y el pensamiento sobre arquitectura.

Al hacerlo, los editores han invertido el vasto espectro de los instrumentos que tienen a su disposición: políticas editoriales, periodicidad, lentitud, escritura e iconografía. Así, los editores de OASE no sólo desafiaron la manera en que pensamos y hablamos sobre arquitectura, sino que asimilaron nuevas habilidades para enfocar el objeto arquitectónico.
Fragments
Authors: Tamburelli Pier Paolo
Published: May 2023

San Rocco is a journal that publishes writing about buildings, drawings, projects, and built or drawn ideas from around the world. It is based on the idea that architecture is a collective knowledge and that this knowledge can take different forms within an architectural magazine – essays, illustrations, designs, etc. Each issue of the journal defines a field of interest through the presentation of a topic. This text reflects on the contents, means and methods of San Rocco. Structured as a series of short excerpts that cover different questions about the magazine, both practical and conceptual, it offers an overview of this journal’s position regarding the practice of architecture, its theory, its relation to history and the role of writing within the discipline.

El lugar de la crítica
Authors: Correa Fernández Pedro
Published: May 2023

La relación entre teoría y práctica ha adquirido configuraciones históricas que hoy nos permiten dejar de entenderla unívocamente. Los grados de autonomía que en determinados episodios una ha adquirido respecto de la otra nos obligan a reformular la noción que entiende que la práctica es la materialización de la teoría. En su autonomía, la teoría tiene su propia materialidad y es ese peso específico lo que la ancla a un momento determinado, a una subjetividad particular y a un lugar concreto.

 

Abstract

Two recent works that form part of the incipient “Wood urbanism” have been analysed: Centro Cultural Arauco, by the Elton Léniz office (2016), and Biblioteca de Constitución, by Sebastián Irarrázaval (2015). Beyond their specific value, both projects are pioneers in the construction of a material culture that gives a new meaning to wood. While the cultural centre in Arauco aims at defining its language through this material, the library in Constitución builds its own spatiality from a timber structure mounted on firewalls or concrete demarcations. Recognizing the “spirit of the place”, both projects contribute to the consolidation of wood as a strategic territorial project.
Amale Andraos and Dan Wood: The conversation at the heart of the design process
Authors: Palavecino Claudio
Published: May 2023

In 2003, Amale Andraos and Dan Wood founded WORKac with a clear objective: reinventing the profession through new relations between architecture, city and nature. The Public Farm 1, the Edible Schoolyards in New York and the future Convention Center at Libreville, Gabon, are, among others, the result of this objective. Their work has been extensively awarded, including capturing the recent number one spot at 'Architect 50': Top 50 Firms in Design 2017 by Architect Magazine and AIANY Architect Firm of the year 2018.

In parallel to the profession, Andraos and Wood have become leading actors in different architecture schools. Amale Andraos has taught at Harvard, Pennsylvania and Princeton, among other schools; and Dan Wood at UC Berkeley, Princeton, Yale, Cooper Union, among others. Nowadays, both are faculty at Columbia GSAPP, where Amale Andraos holds as dean since 2014.

In this interview, Amale Andraos and Dan Wood pose their office as a subject in dialogue, which is, at the heart of their work; and through this, they build their way to think and to make architecture ‘in the world’.

The Polyrhythmic-scape of the City
Authors: Hashimoto Tamao
Published: May 2023

This paper shows the work of the 'Cosmopolitan Workshop', which is part of the Arts and Study Abroad Program (ASAP) at Tokyo University of the Arts. ASAP encourages interdisciplinarity and practical design research strategies out of

the studio, the university, and the country. Especially, the Cosmopolitan Workshop explores a way for understanding and conceiving the complex connections between humans and the environment of the city, while focusing on King’s Cross redevelopment area in London. Drawing on ideas by the French philosopher Henri Lefebvre, and with reference to Bernard Tschumi, the participants in the Cosmopolitan Workshop aimed to describe a

series of ordinary 'direct actions'as 'rhythmanalysis' of humans, architecture, and space, through the assumption that this not only proposes different readings of spatial function, but also configures ambiguous relationships between 

“every being, every entity and every body, both living and non-living”. With the support of Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London) and the Architectural Association Schoolof Architecture, the participants attempted to document human actions in everyday life that would expand

the perception of time in urban space, while strategically examining the city’s perimeter and its relation to urban rhythms and events.
WHEN ROUTINE BITES HARD
Authors: De Backer Gutiérrez Esteban
Published: May 2023

En 1982, Alejandro de la Sota escribe “Por una arquitectura lo?gica”, un manifiesto encubierto en el que describe el proceso de produccio?n arquitecto?nica como una secuencia de razonamientos eficientes a modo de preceptos que desembocan de manera casi irrevocable en “Arquitectura”. Esta idea, trasladada a la produccio?n de arquitectura contempora?nea ma?s alla? de la eficiencia productiva ligada a la arquitectura comercial, se reclama en ciertas pra?cticas actuales que abogan por una especie de “pragmatismo crea- tivo” alejado de la corriente de los noventa y presente en pra?cticas como las de OMA, MVRDV o Alejandro Zaera Polo. En contraposicio?n, se explora una re-conceptualizacio?n de la idea de eficiencia ligada a la produccio?n de arquitectura, para lo cual se examinan los modos operativos de Estudio Herreros, Office KGDVS y Lacaton & Vassal, los que exploran conceptos como “eficiencia creativa”, “eficiencia necesaria” o “eficiencia de comportamiento”, en conexio?n con la “Arquitectura lo?gica” que de la Sota defendiera en su manifiesto de 1982.

Abstract_

In 1982, Alejandro de la Sota writes 'For a logical architecture', an undercover manifesto in which he describes the process of architectural production as a sequence of efficient reasonings in the form of precepts that almost irrevocably result in 'Architecture'. This notion, transferred to contemporary architectural production beyond the productive efficiency associated with commercial architecture, is demanded in certain current practices that advocate a sort of 'creative pragmatism' removed from the trends of the 90’s of practices like those of OMA, MVRDV or Alejandro Zaera Polo. Opposed to this, a re-conceptualization of the notion of efficiency associated with the production of architecture is explored. The operative modes of Estudio Herreros, Office KGDVS and Lacaton & Vassal are examined, exploring concepts like 'creative efficiency', 'necessary efficiency' or 'behaviour efficiency', somehow connecting back to the 'Logical Architecture' argued by de la Sota in his 1982 manifesto.
INFRAESTRUCTURA PARA LA RECOMBINACIÓN: EL TRABAJO Y EL ETHOS DEL PROYECTO PLETHORA
Authors: Sánchez José
Published: May 2023

Este trabajo presenta una cri?tica al modelo de negocios tradicional usado por muchas oficinas de arquitectura que utilizan el “concurso de arquitectura” como una manera de desarrollar nuevas ideas e innovar. Los nume- rosos concursos de arquitectura, que implican trabajo no remunerado, se han convertido en un mecanismo para forzar la innovacio?n arquitecto?nica en beneficio de la e?lite dominante. El taller Proyecto Plethora ha tra- tado, desde 2011, de hibridar la pra?ctica de la arquitectura con formas de entretenimiento que permitan el compromiso cultural y, en u?ltima instancia, comunicar los desafi?os que enfrenta la arquitectura no solo desde una perspectiva de progreso tecnolo?gico sino tambie?n desde un plano de progreso social. Para hacer esto, el medio de los videojuegos ha sido elegido por su capacidad de comunicar complejos sistemas de interde- pendencia, invitando a un pu?blico nuevo, sin conocimientos de arquitectura, a participar en la construccio?n de conocimiento y de nuevos discursos por medio de la comprensio?n de redes complejas de interdependencia que unen recursos materiales, conocimiento, trabajo y acceso. El taller se posiciona en la interseccio?n entre la oficina de arquitectura y un estudio de videojuegos con intere?s social. Esto implica la necesidad de innovacio?n en estrategias econo?micas que permitan la autonomi?a de ideas y el desarrollo de proyectos no convencionales.

Abstract_

This paper presents a critique to the traditional business model followed by many architecture studios who utilize the ‘architectural competition’ as a format for developing new ideas and innovation. The abundant competition calls, implying free labour, that architectural competitions facilitate has become a mechanism to coerce architectural innovation towards the benefit of a ruling elite. The Plethora Project studio has attempted since 2011 to hybridize the practice of architecture with forms of entertainment in order to allow cultural engagement and ultimately communicate the challenges that architecture faces not only from a perspective of technological progress but from one of social progress as well. To do so, the medium of video games has been selected to communicate complex systems of interdependence, inviting a new audience of non-architects to participate in the construction of knowledge and discourse by understanding complex webs of interdependence that link material resources, knowledge, labour and access. The studio sits at the intersection between an architectural firm and a gaming studio with social interest. This implies the necessity for innovation in economic strategies that enable the autonomy of ideas and the development of non-conventional projects.

El presente arti?culo presenta el trabajo del Cosmopolitan Workshop, el cual es parte del Programa de Estudios en el Extranjero (ASAP) de la Universidad de las Artes de Tokio. ASAP promueve la interdisciplina y las estrate- gias de investigacio?n pra?ctica en disen?o fuera del taller, la universidad y el pai?s. En particular, el Cosmopolitan Workshop explora un modo de comprender y concebir las complejas conexiones entre los humanos y el entorno urbano, estudiando el a?rea de remodelacio?n de King’s Cross en Londres. Tomando ideas del filo?sofo france?s Henri Lefebvre, y con referencias a Bernard Tschumi, los participantes del Cosmopolitan Workshopse enfocaron en describir una serie de “acciones directas” comunes concebidas como “ritmoana?lisis” de los humanos, la arquitectura y el espacio, a trave?s de la premisa de que esto no solo propone diferentes lecturas acerca de las funciones en el espacio, sino que tambie?n configura relaciones ambiguas entre «cada ser, cada entidad y cada cuerpo, tanto viviente como no-viviente». Con el apoyo de Central Saint Martins (Universidad de las Artes de Londres) y la Escuela de Arquitectura de la Architectural Association, los participantes intentaron documentar distintas acciones humanas de la vida cotidiana y su efecto en la expansio?n de la percepcio?n del tiempo en el espacio urbano, a la vez que examinaban estrate?gicamente el peri?metro de la ciudad y su relacio?n con los ritmos y eventos urbanos. .

EL ESPACIO EQUIPOTENCIAL EN LA VIVIENDA COMO ESTRATEGIA PARA LA ADAPTABILIDAD
Authors: Luis Bezos Alonso José
Published: May 2023

La arquitectura necesita dar respuesta, en el a?mbito dome?stico, al continuo y vertiginoso cambio en las necesidades y en las formas de vida de la sociedad contempora?nea. Por ello, proponemos explorar el con- cepto de “adaptabilidad” en la vivienda a partir del estudio de una serie de proyectos en los que encontra- mos una disposicio?n concreta de las estancias que denominamos “espacio equipotencial” o “en damero”. Esta configuracio?n favorece la generacio?n de una lo?gica abierta de relacio?n entre espacios y actu?a como un mecanismo que dispone a la vivienda para la adaptabilidad, permitiendo concebirla como un campo de juego abierto, electivo, dina?mico y combinatorio.
LA DOBLE OBSOLESCENCIA DE LA CASA FARNSWORTH
Authors: Navarro Ríos Victor , Langarita Sánchez María
Published: May 2023

Rara vez le llega a la arquitectura su obsolescencia funcional. Lo habitual es el desencanto: una obsoles- cencia del entusiasmo que desvela el agotamiento emocional de sus habitantes, de un grupo cultural o de toda una sociedad. Frente a las narraciones que describen la obsolescencia como un estado previo a la refundacio?n, cabe pensar en esta como un estado de multiplicidad que resulta de la coexistencia de vidas proyectadas en torno a un mismo objeto construido. Revertir una de esas obsolescencias puede suponer acabar con la existencia del otro. Desde esta perspectiva es posible idear una estrategia proyectual no binaria que plantee una coexistencia ma?s compleja y asime?trica. En el caso que aqui? nos trae, los an?os vivi- deros de la casa Farnsworth, esa posibilidad surge de la concepcio?n de una arquitectura blanda, subversiva y cri?tica, capaz de aceptar la complejidad de su permanente agotamiento y su constante reinvencio?n.
ENCOGER©: DESPROGRAMAR/ DESESPECIALIZAR
Authors: Palacios Dolores , Soriano Federico
Published: May 2023

Desde el movimiento Encoger©, nos proponemos construir una nueva teori?a arquitecto?nica asociada a las ideas de decrecimiento econo?mico. Basa?ndonos en verbos que funcionan como vectores teo?ricos —densi- ficar, desnormalizar, inacabar, secluir, implosionar, descarnar y desinflar, entre otros— buscamos definir una disciplina contrapuesta a la del movimiento moderno. “Desespecializar”, que aqui? renombraremos como “desprogramar”, es uno de los te?rminos usados. Con e?l intentamos desmontar la relacio?n indisoluble entre espacios y usos, que obligaba a desmantelar una arquitectura cuando el programa cambiaba. Pero, ade- ma?s, el arti?culo ahonda en otra li?nea, proponiendo la existencia de unas estructuras funcionales previas que ya presuponen una organizacio?n funcional del proyecto antes de las primeras decisiones formales.
Equipotential Space in Housing as a Strategy for Adaptability
Authors: Luis Bezos Alonso José
Published: May 2023

Architecture must provide answers, in the domestic realm, to the constant and vertiginous change in contemporary society’s needs and lifestyles. For this reason, we propose to examine the concept of 'adaptability' in housing based on the study of a series of projects in which we find a specific arrangement of rooms, which we call 'equipotential' or 'checkered' space. This configuration favors the generation of an open logic of relations between spaces, and acts as a mechanism that prepares the house for adaptability, allowing us to conceive it as an open, elective, dynamic and combinatory playing field.
Architecture for More-than-Humans
Authors: Otero Verzier Marina
Published: May 2023

In his project New Babylon (1956– 1974), artist Constant Nieuwenhuys proposes an alternative society that dedicates its time to creativity and play, and where human work becomes superfluous. Architectural paradigm of the free space and leisure enabled by the automation of work, New Babylon was also able to visualize the architecture of the post-labor world. A world that, fifty years later, is beginning to take concrete shape. Today, the architecture of full automation is being implemented in places like the Netherlands and China. Its introduction shakes the labor markets, as well as the configuration of human spaces and work tasks that have become obsolete with the emergence of machines in the production centers. These disruptive changes, however, could also be a trigger for the reinvention of the notion of human work and its architecture, from the perspective of its possible obsolescence. The architectural discipline faces the challenge of responding to the introduction of automation technologies. A research and innovation domain that still lacks a critical spatial perspective, automated architecture is, however, fundamental to discern an imminent future and, ultimately, to explore our agency and capacity to accept or challenge it.

From their first house, Maison Latapie, to the transformation of 530 dwellings in Bordeaux, Lacaton and Vassal’s approach aims to create open conditions to facilitate permanent change. Expanding the space, doubling the height, and increasing the structural capacity are several of the spatial strategies they employ to embrace evolution and change.
La Cuestión Malvinas: de la negociación al conflicto. Una aproximación al vínculo entre la política exterior y la política de defensa de Argentina
Authors: Lucietto Franco
Published: May 2023

El conflicto bélico en las Islas Malvinas, Georgias del Sur, Sandwich del Sur y los espacios marítimos circundantes representa el capítulo más dramático a lo largo de una historia atravesada por el colonialismo. La investigación pretende reflexionar sobre la dinámica del vínculo entre la política exterior argentina y la política de defensa a través del estudio histórico y la problematización de aquellos aspectos del orden interno signados por la clausura del proceso de industrialización por sustitución de importaciones y una profunda reestructuración social. En consecuencia, se pretende abonar a la identificación de aquellos elementos que determinaron el enfrentamiento y la clausura unilateral de las negociaciones mandatadas por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas entre la potencia ocupante, el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte, y la República Argentina.
Algunas reflexiones en torno a la importancia económica de las Islas Malvinas
Authors: Musacchio Andrés
Published: May 2023

El artículo se propone analizar la evolución reciente de la economía de las Islas Malvinas, enfocando su estructura productiva y su morfología. Desde esa perspectiva, se exponen algunos elementos problemáticos en dos de sus actividades principales, la pesca y la exploración petrolera.
Si bien la cuestión de la guerra proyecta una influencia de largo plazo, la hipótesis de partida es que las características de la economía malvinense está determinada en lo fundamental por el contexto económico internacional de las tres últimas décadas más que por la cuestión regional y local.
Sobre la base de lo expuesto, el artículo procura estudiar algunas contradicciones de la estructura económica y algunos cambios reciente, como el Brexit, procurando extraer conclusiones para las negociaciones relativas a la soberanía. En tales negociaciones, de todas formas, Argentina sólo puede desplegar una estrategia exitosa en el marco de una política interna de desarrollo de sus fuerzas productivas.
Limitantes financieros y mandato contracíclico: manifestaciones recientes en los bancos multilaterales de desarrollo
Authors: Molinari Andrea , Patrucchi Leticia
Published: May 2023

Dado su atractivo como fuente de financiamiento para los países menos desarrollados, los bancos multilaterales de desarrollo (BMDs) han crecido en cantidad y tamaño apoyados en sus particulares fuentes de financiamiento. Consideramos que esta “dependencia de recursos” no ha sido lo suficientemente bien problematizada en la literatura sobre BMDs, especialmente en cuanto a la exposición crediticia que tienen estos organismos con sus miembros prestatarios más grandes. Este trabajo caracteriza e identifica los efectos diferenciales de las tres fuentes que configuran la dependencia de recursos en los BMDs: aportes de capital, apalancamiento en los mercados y su función crediticia. Analizamos dichas fuentes particularmente en el Banco Internacional de Fomento (BIRF), el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) y el Banco Africano de Desarrollo (BAfD) y en dos acontecimientos recientes: el swap de riesgo implementado por dichos BMDs en 2015 y el efecto del default selectivo de Argentina sobre la suficiencia de capital del BID (2014). Encontramos una creciente relevancia del apalancamiento y la dimensión prestataria, que configura una dependencia de recursos que debilita el mandato de desarrollo de estos organismos.

La visita del Secretario de Estado Alexander Haig en el marco de la frustrada mediación de Estados Unidos en el conflicto de Malvinas
Authors: Morgenfeld Leandro
Published: May 2023

Cuatro décadas después de la Guerra de Malvinas, en el siguiente artículo se repasan las dimensiones geopolíticas del mismo, la errónea lectura internacional de la Junta Militar argentina y la posición del gobierno estadounidense encabezado por Reagan, quien priorizó su alianza con la primera ministra británica. La experiencia de la infructuosa apelación al TIAR en 1982 muestra que, para la Argentina, es necesario confluir con los países latinoamericanos y caribeños, además de otros actores del llamado Sur Global, para forzar al Reino Unido, a cumplir con las resoluciones de Naciones Unidas, que instan retomar las negociaciones bilaterales por la soberanía de las islas, para terminar con uno de los últimos enclaves coloniales que persisten en el siglo XXI.

A REVIEW ON METHODS AND CASE STUDIES ON CARBON SEQUESTRATION POTENTIAL OF URBAN-GREEN AREAS
Authors: Thacker Himanshi , Jani Dhruva , Solanki Hitesh
Published: May 2023

Urban-green areas provide various ecosystem services; one such service is that tree species lower the temperature in the atmosphere and have tremendous potential to sequent carbon. The present review particularly focuses on the different methods used for above-ground biomass estimation. Two methods, field methods (destructive and non-destructive), and remote sensing methods (optical remote sensing, RADAR, and LiDAR) are used for biomass estimation. It has been found that all these methods have some advantages and limitations. In addition to this, we have reviewed various case studies of urban tree species' potential to sequester carbon dioxide.
A REVIEW ON PHYTOCHEMISTRY AND TRADITIONAL THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS OF SYZYGIUM MALACCENSE (L.)
Authors: Vadu Sapnali , Modi Nainesh , Prajapati Mayur
Published: May 2023

Syzygium malaccense (L.)(Pomerac) belonging to the Myrtaceae family is widely grown in many countries. This plant spp. is frequently utilised in traditional medicine. The Myrtaceae family plant Syzygium malaccense (L.), also known as the "Malay apple," is grown extensively around the world. Because of its abundance in phytochemicals such as polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins, polysaccharides, and organic acids, this plant is frequently utilised in traditional medicine and has significant potential for application in contemporary therapeutics. This study's main objective is to review and compile all the information that is currently known about the bark and leaves of Syzygium malaccense (L.), with an emphasis on their nutritional value, bioactive components, and potential medical applications. Using the terms of Syzygium malaccense, chemical components and medicinal uses of Pomerac. Further searched were journals, books, and conference proceedings.The majority of studies backed up and supplied evidence for the claim that Syzygium malaccense (L.) and its active ingredients are crucial in the prevention of chronic and degenerative diseases linked to oxidative stress. Our findings imply that further investigation is necessary to develop a potential method that might balance the pomerac's pharmacological and hazardous effects, and that a standardised fingerprint of Syzygium malaccense (L.)is necessary for quality control on a global scale.
A REVIEW: URBAN FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Authors: Parikh Shaivin , Bhavsar Dhara
Published: May 2023

Climate change has an impact on forest growth and production both directly and indirectly through changes in temperature, precipitation, weather, and other variables. Also, increased carbon dioxide has an impact on plant development.
Urban forests are affected according to how climate change affects water cycles. Cities can more effectively adapt to the impact of climate change on temperature patterns and weather occurrences due to urban trees. Compared to their surroundings, cities are often warmer. Transitions in temperatures and weather patterns over a long period of time are referred to as climate change. Urban forests are more prone to experience climate change effects like temperature increases in urban areas.
Urban trees and the numerous advantages they provide to city dwellers are at risk due to climate change. Generally, trees that are more tolerant of drought, have evergreen leaves, and are younger tend to grow bigger and quicker than anticipated, whereas trees that are less tolerant of drought, have deciduous leaves, and are older are more likely to show size restrictions.

The purpose of this study was to review the psychometric properties of the Objectied Body Consciousness Scale (OBCS) in the time frame 2002 - 2022. For this purpose, a search was carried out in the ScienceDirect and WorldCat databases, where 1248 articles were identied, of which only 11 were selected (7 in the adult population and 4 in the adolescent population). The results report that the OBCS is an instrument with adequate psychometric properties, which presents different models according to the context of application (3 dimensions and 2 dimensions); 9 of 11 articles used adequate methodological aspects, while in 2 articles a very small sample size was identied for the statistical processes used; the reliability of the instrument is adequate in all its models and is always reported through the internal consistency alpha. Finally, it was identied that in the adult population, models with the original number of items, or close to it, work best; while in the adolescent population, short models with numbers close to 12 items work best; in both populations, the three-dimensional model is adequate

The present research sought to determine the rate of violence in children and adolescents in Peru in times of pandemic. A non-experimental, retrospective, descriptive, quantitative, non-experimental methodology was used for this research. The sample consisted of children and adolescents of both sexes at the national level, ranging in age from 0 to 17 years. Likewise, as a means of data collection, we used the gures provided by the Statistical Portal of the Aurora National Group of the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations based on the cases attended by the Women's Emergency Centers implemented at the national level, however, However, during the mandatory social connement due to the pandemic, these centers did not operate, so that in 2020 data were obtained by the Itinerant Emergency Teams, while in 2021 and 2022 data were taken from the Women's Emergency Centers, through health centers, police stations, regular and 24x7. Likewise, the research concluded that psychological violence is the predominant type of violence and that the most affected age group is 12 to 17 years old, while, in relation to gender, women are the most affected by violence in times of pandemic

Authors: Sadeghi Sohrab , Mohammadi Hassan Reza
Published: May 2023

Context: One of the changes that occur in a person and lead to a change in the patient’s sexual desire is chronic diseases, including spinal cord injury (SCI). Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiology of sexual dysfunction (SD) in patients with SCI in Iran by a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: In the present systematic review and meta-analysis, using the keywords “spinal cord injury”, “sexual dysfunction”, and “Iran” a list of related articles were extracted from national and international databases. The search was conducted by two researchers in the national databases (SID, Magiran, and Irandoc) and international databases (Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus). The necessary data were collected using a specialized checklist and analyzed using CMA v.2.0 software. Results: The result showed 183 articles were extracted in the initial search, and after reviewing the articles, six articles were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis stage. The prevalence of SD in patients with SCI was equal to 45.9%, 95% (CI: 30.2 - 62.4). Conclusions: The prevalence of SD and sexual dissatisfaction in patients with SCI was reported to be high. For this reason, it is suggested to do necessary interventions to improve the sexual satisfaction of these patients.

Background: The placenta, as a link between mother and fetus, is closely related to the development of the fetal nervous system. Histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) is common placental inflammation and an important factor in triggering premature delivery. Anabolic steroid (AS) is an important medication to promote fetal lung maturity. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between HCA, AS, and brain injury in premature infants. Objectives: This research aimed to explore the correlation of pathological changes in the placental HCA and the prenatal use of AS with brain injury in preterm infants. Methods: In total, 339 premature infants with a gestational age of under 34 weeks were taken as research subjects, and the placenta was examined by pathology after delivery. The samples were divided into HCA+ AS+, HCA+ AS-, HCA- AS+, and HCA- AS- groups based on the pathological results of the placenta and the prenatal use of steroid hormones. The occurrence of brain injury in preterm infants and the level of inflammatory indicators 2 h after birth were compared between the groups. Results: The incidence of brain injury in preterm infants in the HCA+ group was higher than in the HCA- group (χ2 = 5.713, P < 0.05), and the AS- group than in the AS+ group (χ2 = 4.368, P < 0.05); The incidence of brain injury in the HCA+ AS+, HCA+ AS- and HCA- AS-groups was significantly higher than in the HCA- AS+ group (χ2 = 6.105, P = 0.013; χ2 = 9.086, P = 0.003; χ2 = 4.848, P = 0.047, respectively). The incidence of brain injury in preterm infants was the highest in the group (30%). When the procalcitonin level 2 h after birth was 0.213 ng/mL, sensitivity to predict the occurrence of brain injury in preterm infants was 70.7%, and specificity was 80.2%. Conclusions: Brain damage in premature infants is related to HCA in the mother and insufficient AS treatment before delivery. Brain damage is more likely to occur when both factors exist.

Background: We aimed to analyze contralateral patent processus vaginalis (CPPV) in the laparoscopic high ligation of the vaginal process, treat eligible children surgically, and evaluate the clinical long-term outcomes. Methods: A total of 300 children with unilateral inguinal hernia or unilateral hydrocele treated in our hospital were selected for laparoscopic high ligation of the vaginal process, during which CPPV was analyzed. The 300 children were randomly divided into two groups of 150. In the study group (n = 58), 11 children met the requirements of high ligation and were treated with simultaneous surgery. The 53 children in the control group received simultaneous treatment. The prevalence of CPPV was compared between children with unilateral indirect inguinal hernia and unilateral hydrocele, left and right patent processus vaginalis (PPV), and different ages. After surgery, both groups were followed up for one year. The recurrence rate of contralateral indirect inguinal hernia or hydrocele was compared. Significant differences were assessed between the two groups receiving different treatments. Results: The prevalence of CPPV was 23% in children with unilateral indirect inguinal hernia and 49% in children with unilateral hydrocele. The prevalence of CPPV in children with unilateral hydrocele was significantly higher than that in children with inguinal hernia (P = 0.00). The prevalence of CPPV was 42% in children with left PPV and 33% in children with right PPV, without a statistically significant difference (P = 0.19). The prevalence of CPPV was 63% in children aged 1 - 2 years, which was significantly higher than that in other age groups (χ2 = 7.46, P = 0.01). The prevalence of CPPV was 14% in children aged > 6 years, which was significantly lower than that in other age groups (χ2 = 4.43, P = 0.04). A postoperative one-year follow-up showed that the recurrence rate was 9% in the study group and 1% in the control group, without a statistically significant difference (P = 0.25). Conclusions: The prevalence of CPPV decreases with age. Hydrocele combined with CPPV is more common. For younger children with hydrocele, it is very important to explore the contralateral side during surgery. Moreover, the transformation of CPPV to indirect inguinal hernia or hydrocele occurs rarely, and only eligible children can receive simultaneous treatment during surgery.
