Mind control of a distant electronic device: A proof-of-concept pre-registered study
Authors: Tressoldi Patrizio , Pederzoli Luciano , Prati Elena , Semenzato Luca
Published: May 2019

This study was aimed at verifying the possibility of mentally in!uencing from a distance an electronic device based on a True Random Number Generator (TRNG). Thirteen adult participants contributed to 100 trials, each comprised three samples of data each of 15 minutes’ duration: one for pre-mental interaction, one for mental interaction, and one for post-mental interaction. For each of these three samples, at the end of each minute, the data sequence generated by the random number generator was analyzed with the Frequency and Runs tests in order to determine if there were any changes in the randomness of the sequence. A further 100 trials of three samples each of the same duration were collected during normal functioning of the device, as a control. The only evidence of an e"ect of distant mental interaction is an increase of approximately 50%, with respect to control data, of the number of samples within which the pre-determined statistical threshold for the detection of a reduction of the randomness was surpassed in both tests. Although the e"ect of distant mental interaction is still weak, we believe that the results of this study represent a proof-of-concept for the construction of electronic devices susceptible to distant mental in!uence.

Published: May 2019

Psychologists have made substantial progress at developing empirically validated formal expressions of how people perceive, learn, remember, think, and know. In this paper, we present an academic search engine for cognitive psychology that leverages computational expressions of human cognition (vector-space models of semantics) to represent and find papers in the psychological record. The method shows how psychological theory can be used to inform and aid the design of psychologically intuitive computer interfaces.

Authors: Poudel Suman , Regmi Sudeep , Shahi Anita , Samdurkar Ashok
Published: May 2019

INTRODUCTION: Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) of the thyroid gland is now a well-established, first line diagnostic test for the evaluation of thyroid lesions. An FNA is performed along with Thyroid Function Test (TFT) profile to correlate cytology with hormonal function in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients.

MATERIALAND METHODS: Total of 117 cases of FNAC of thyroid lesions were selected who had undergone TFT profile. The lesions were evaluated cytologically and categorized according to Bethesda System of classification and correlated with TFT profile.

RESULTS: Out of 117 cases studied, the middle aged (20-49 years) females were most commonly affected by thyroid diseases. The predominant lesions cytologically were Benign Follicular Nodule (BFN) with frequency of 51.3%.With respect to hormonal status most of the lesions were Euthyroid (53.8%). The study showed no significant difference in mean of TFT profile with regard to various FNAC diagnoses.

CONCLUSION: The study showed that FNAC and TFT profile both are essential for the proper management of thyroid lesions and, there is no significant difference between FNAC diagnosis and mean TFT profile.

Published: May 2019

Paper ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor penentu pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia. Untuk itu, dilakukan analisis terhadap data panel dari 33 provinsi di Indonesia mulai tahun 2006 sampai 2015. Analisis empiris pada paper ini melibatkan dua metode estimasi: 1) Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) dengan Fixed Effects Model, dan 2) Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rasio investasi sebagai akumulasi persediaan physical capital, tingkat pendidikan sebagai akumulasi persediaan human capital, pertumbuhan penduduk, desentralisasi, dan perdagangan memiliki dampak positif yang signifikan terhadap pendapatan per kapita. Selanjutnya, pengeluaran pemerintah dan proporsi penganut agama Islam memiliki pengaruh negatif yang signifikan terhadap pendapatan per kapita. Disisi lain, proporsi penganut agama Kristen Protestan dan Kristen Katolik tidak memiliki pengaruh terhadap pendapatan per kapita.This paper identifies the determinants of economic growth in Indonesia. To accomplish this, panel data for 33 provinces in Indonesia, for the years of 2006 through 2015, were analyzed. The empirical analysis involved two estimation methods: 1) Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) with a Fixed Effects Model, and 2) Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The results reveal that investment ratio as the stock of physical capital, education level as the stock of human capital; population growth, decentralization, and trade across the provinces have a significant positive impact on the income per capita. Government expenditures and the proportion of adherents to the Islam religion have a significant negative influence on the income per capita. However, the proportion of adherents to the Protestant and the Catholic religions do not affect the income per capita.

STUDY TO DETERMINE RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH HYPERTENSION IN URBAN POPULATION OF BHOPAL (MP) INDIA
Authors: Rajat Srivastava , GD Bhide
Published: May 2019

Background: Hypertension is an acute public health problem both in developed and in developing countries, like India. It remains silent, being generally asymptomatic during its clinical course. As it is hidden beneath an outwardly asymptomatic appearance, the disease does immense harm to the body in the form of 'Target Organ' damage; hence, the WHO has named it the 'Silent Killer'1. Job related psychosocial stress and sedentary life styles may directly and indirectly contribute to development of hypertension2. With urbanization, the problem of hypertension is growing rapidly to epidemic levels in the developing countries. This invisible epidemic is an underappreciated cause of poverty and hinders the economic development of many countries3. Assessing the association of risk factors with Hypertension in the community is equivalent to assessing the submerged portion of the iceberg which is so much more obscure.

Objective: To carry out an Observational study amongst civil population of Bhopal to successfully determine the risk factors associated with Hypertension.

Materials and Methods: 375 randomly selected individuals were subjected to check of blood pressure with two readings being taken by two different examiners at an interval of 15 minutes. Subsequently 157 individuals found Hypertensive were further screened for risk factors for Hypertension by measuring height, weight, BMI, serum total cholesterol, serum triglycerides, serum HDL, random blood sugar levels, physical activity, smoking status & alcohol consumption.

Results: Out of 375 individuals screened, 157 individuals were found to be having high blood pressure. About 15.4% were found to be obese with BMI > 23Kg/m2, 22% had hypercholesterolemia, 5.4% had IGT (Impaired Glucose Tolerance), 19.2% were current smokers and 3.4% were alcohol consumers. Higher age, BMI (Body Mass Index), high serum triglycerides, low serum HDL, IGT (Impaired Glucose Tolerance) and lack of exercising were found to be independently associated with Hypertension in multiple logistic regression analysis.

Conclusion: Our findings recommend the constant monitoring of risk factors for Hypertension and the formulation of effective preventive strategies for adequate control of its alarming incidence.

Keywords: Hypertension, Impaired Glucose Tolerance, Body Mass Index, High Density Lipoprotein, Coronary Heart Disease.
Regreso al futuro: nuevas políticas para la innovación en la era digital
Authors: Leceta José Manuel
Published: May 2019

El artículo analiza retrospectivamente la llamada “sociedad del conocimiento” para abordar luego experiencias más recientes en la integración del “triángulo del conocimiento” auspiciado por el Instituto Europeo de Innovación y Tecnología (EIT). El texto supone una contribución novedosa para el diseño de políticas de nueva generación en materia de innovación y emprendimiento en el contexto del nuevo paradigma de “ecosistema emprendedor de innovación” postulando a tal fin estructuras de gobernanza y de gestión correspondientes, a saber, consejos y agencias. Distinguiendo tales consejos de los más tradicionales de ciencia y tecnología, su labor consiste en regular aspectos habitualmente olvidados (demanda en particular) acompañando así la tarea de las nuevas agencias, más disruptivas o “schumpeterianas”, a distinguir a su vez de las más tradicionales o “weberianas”. Con todo ello, el autor reflexiona sobre las tensiones que ha de gestionar el “emprendedor público” para innovar las políticas de innovación, en el tránsito de la “economía gerencial” a la “economía emprendedora” y de los sistemas a los ecosistemas.
Utjecaj zrelosti i povezanih uzgojnih postupaka na virdžinijski duhan
Authors: Čavlek Miroslav , Gršić Kristina
Published: May 2019

Istraživanje s ciljem utvrđivanja utjecaja visine zalamanja (17 i 20 listova za berbu), metode berbe (7, 4 i 3 berbe) i zrelosti (nezreli, zreli i prezreli) na prinos, cijenu i sadržaj nitrata u soku rebra u vrijeme berbe, provedeno je 2006. i 2008. godine. Primijenjen je split-split plot dizajn s čeiri ponavljanja. Viši prinosi u vršnom segmentu ostvareni su višim zalamanjem i obratno u dva niža segmenta. Utjecaj metode berbe na prosječne vrijednosti istraživanih svojstava bio je mali. Zrelost listova u vrijeme berbe u 2006. u pet od šest segmenata nije imala utjecaj na prinos. U 2008. najviši prinosi u vršna tri segmenta ostvareni su berbom zrelih listova. Najviše prosječne cijene u drugom i trećem segmentu ostvarene su berbom zrelih, a u višim segmentima prezrelih listova. Različito zreli listovi u vrijeme berbe u nekim segmentima su proizveli različite rezultate ovisno o visini zalamanja i metodi berbe.
Sadržaj nitrata u soku rebra lista u vrijeme berbe kada su postignuti podjednaki ili viši prinosi i cijene opadao je odlaganjem berbe i, uz neke izuzetke, od donjih prema gornjim segmentima. Međutim, na osnovi rezultata ovog istraživanja nije bilo moguće odrediti kritične raspone sadržaja nitrata koji bi se mogli koristiti za procjenu zrelosti listova duhana za berbu.

Authors: Shahid Shah Md Ahsan , Ali Nawshad , Islam Sayed Sirajul , Pal Shantona Rani , Lina Khondokar Seheli Nasrin
Published: May 2019

Posterior urethral valves (PUV) constitute the most common infra-vesical urinary obstruction in boys. PUV are often accompanied by severe consequences to the lower and upper urinary tract (LUT, UUT). They also represent a major urological cause for pediatric renal transplantations. Surgical options for primary management invariably aim at abolition of valves. However, temporary urinary diversion may sometimes be a viable alternative, especially in critically ill patients or preterm infants. It was a retrospective, descriptive study which was conducted at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Rajshahi Medical College from January 2018 to December 2018. All stable patients with the diagnosis of posterior urethral valves were included in the study. Endoscopic valve fulguration was performed in all diagnosed patients using bugbee electrode and an adequate sized cystoscope. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia and the urinary bladder was drained with a suitable size Foley's or silicon catheter for 14days. Patients were discharged from the hospital 48-72 hours after the procedure on oral antibiotics and were advised to come to the outpatient department for follow up visits for a period of 6 months. A total of 84 patients were included in the study. All were males with a mean age of 6.5years ranging from 6 months to 12 years. Sixty five patients were without any diversion while 19 had vesicostomy or ureterostomy already done in our department or somewhere else. Stricture urethra was seen in 5 patients, incontinence of urine was seen in 7 patients, nocturnal enuresis in 15 patients and recurrent urinary tract infection in 19 patients. Chronic renal failure was seen in 4 patients while 16 patients lost the follow up.18 patients had an uneventful recovery. Urethral valve ablation is the definitive treatment of posterior urethral valves. Endoscopic urethral valve fulguration is safe, effective and definitive way of management for posterior urethral valves. Early treatment improves the quality of life and prevents the ongoing renal damage. Early presentation in fetal and neonatal life has worst prognosis due to associated renal dysplasia.

Authors: Kosenkova S. I. , Krasnyuk I. I. , Krasnyuk (jr.) I. I.
Published: May 2019

Introduction. Naftifin hydrochloride is an antifungal drug from the allylamine group, which is used as a drug for external use in the treatment of onychomycosis. Quickly penetrates the skin and nails. It has antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It has a wide range of actions against many fungi that cause onychomycosis (dermatophytes, molds and yeast). In addition, it has an antibacterial effect in the ratio of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, reduces the risk of complicated course of the disease. It has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. Polyethylene glycols belong to the class of organic polymers of ethylene glycol. Polyethylene glycols are safe and widely used in pharmaceutical production, due to the variety of applications. The object of the study is a number of solutions of naftifin hydrochloride in different combinations and with different ratios of polyethylene glycols.

Aim. The purpose of the work is to choose the optimal composition of the solution of naftifin hydrochloride. Achieve due to the viscosity of the prolonging action of the solution. Depending on the molecular weight of polyethylene glycol to determine the flow time of solutions. Choose among a number of samples with different ratios of polyethylene glycols, a solution with maximum viscosity.

Materials and methods. To determine the viscosity of this solution, a capillary viscometry method was used on the vpzh-2 apparatus. «Exoderil» solution was chosen as a reference formulation.

Results and discussion. Alternating different combinations of polyethylene glycol, we have increased the viscosity of the fluid naftifine hydrochloride, which has achieved a more accurate method of application of medicinal substances. During the study, it was determined that the solution «Exoderil» has a minimum viscosity, compared with all samples of the studied solutions.

Сonclusion. The optimal viscosity of the solution of naftifin hydrochloride provides a prolonged action of the drug, due to a longer stay on the nail plate. Viscosity allows for more accurate application to the damaged nail, and reduces the loss of concentration of the active substance. Moisturizing properties of polyethylene glycols will help to reduce the severity of side effects (dryness, rarefaction), and provide a longer and more comfortable treatment of onychomycosis.

Published: May 2019

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with objectively measured lower physical fitness and blunted response of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system to exercise. The purpose of this pilot study was to objectively measure exercise response of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and cardiopulmonary fitness changes after laparoscopic adrenalectomy (ADE) in patients with unilateral PA. We examined a total of 14 patients with confirmed PA before and after ADE, by means of spiroergometry and hormonal evaluation. As expected, after adrenalectomy basal aldosterone (Aldo) levels before exercise decreased significantly, with a concomitant increase in plasma renin (PR). The increase in Aldo (285.9±171.3 to 434.1±278.2 ng/l; p=0.02) and blunted increase in PR (7.1±0.4 to 8.9±10.4 pg/ml; NS) post-exercise before ADE became significant after ADE Aldo post-ADE (46.8±18.8 to 106.5±68.1 ng/l; p<0.0001) and PR post-ADE (20.1±14.5 to 33.9±30.7 pg/ml; p=0.014). After adrenalectomy, the patients had a non-significant increase in peak workload and VO2peak. We found normalization of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system response to exercise with little changes in cardiopulmonary fitness six months after ADE.

Authors: Edagawa Chizuko , Sobue Ikuko
Published: May 2019

Purpose: As the benefits of sick child care services are usually evaluated based on parents’ work-related views, very few studies have reported those on health recovery or parenting of sick children. This study investigated the usage and evaluation of sick child care services in double-income nuclear families, in order to clarify their benefits and issues.

Methods: This study used a qualitative and descriptive approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted involving 27 mothers of double-income nuclear families after obtaining their written consent.The survey consisted of: the age and number of children, child-raising status, strategies to cope with children’s illness, and usage and needs of sick child care services and pediatric emergency medical care services.

Results: The mothers of double-income nuclear families worked with hope of self-realization. They used sick child care services to balance their child-raising and career in a situation where there is no one to rely on. By experiencing positive reactions and early recovery of their children, the mothers developed a sense of security and trust towards high quality medical, nursing, and child nursery care of the service and childcare education provided to mothers. On the other hand, they desired improvement with regard to expensive care fees, short-hours of service, and the capacity to accept children, as well as the operation of transportation service from nursery school to the sick child care facility

Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated that sick child care services were beneficial in promoting healthy recovery of children and for improving childcare skills of mothers of doubleincome nuclear families. The results also suggest the need to develop measures based on the needs of sick child care users.

Karsinoma erisipeloides adalah satu bentuk metastasis kulit yang jarang ditemukan (1% dari seluruh bentuk metastasis kanker payudara ke kulit) dengan manifestasi klinis yang dapat menyerupai selulitis, erisipelas, atau dermatitis sehingga sering terlambat untuk terdiagnosis. Etiologi tersering dari metastasis kulit pada pasien perempuan adalah kanker payudara. Adanya karsinoma erisipeloides sering menandakan rekurensi pada pasien yang sebelumnya telah mendapatkan terapi. Kami melaporkan pasien perempuan berumur 50 tahun dengan keluhan bercak kemerahan di dada sejak tiga bulan. sebelum berobat, terdapat riwayat kanker payudara dan telah selesai menjalani mastektomi serta radioterapi. Sebelumnya telah berobat ke beberapa dokter spesialis kulit dan kelamin, terdiagnosis sebagai dermatitis. Berdasarkan anamnesis dan gambaran klinis pasien, kami memikirkan dugaan karsinoma erisipeloides. Kemudian kami lakukan biopsi kulit dan ditemukan adanya sel ganas. Dugaan metastasis kulit harus selalu dicurigai pada pasien dengan keluhan kulit nonspesifik disertai riwayat kanker sebelumnya. Kulit bukanlah organ yang sering menjadi lokasi metastasis. Jika ditemukan metastasis ke kulit, biasanya sudah terdapat penyebaran ke organ lain sehingga adanya metastasis kulit menandakan prognosis yang burukÂ Kata kunci: karsinoma erisipeloides, metastasis kulit, kanker payudara

Bromhidrosis merupakan kondisi bau badan menyengat akibat interaksi antara kelenjar keringat dan mikroorganisme. Tindakan pembedahan dengan teknik modifikasi sedot lemak dan kuretase merupakan salah satu terapi yang cukup aman dan efektif untuk bromhidrosis. Pertumbuhan kuman penyebab bromhidrosis dipengaruhi oleh suhu, kelembapan serta sekresi kelenjar keringat. Pada pasien pascaoperasi bromhidrosis terjadi penurunan sekresi kelenjar keringat dan penurunan kelembapan yang menyebabkan penurunan jumlah kuman komensal penyebab bromhidrosis.Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui perbandingan jumlah kuman pada pasien bromhidrosis sebelum dan sesudah operasi modifikasi sedot lemak dan kuretase.Penelitian di lakukan di RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta, rancangan penelitian menggunakan eksperimental uji klinik dengan pendekatan one group pretest-posttest design. Subjek terdiri dari 10 pasien bromhidrosis yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan sebelum dan sesudah prosedur, menggunakan teknik swab, dioleskan pada permukaan media agar natrium, agar darah dan agar Mc Conkey. Penghitungan jumlah kuman dengan teknik total plate count, data di analisisÂ  menggunakan Paired T test.Tidak didapatkan perbedaan bermakna (p>0,05) antara jumlah kuman dari sampel sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Beberapa spesies kuman yang ditemukan adalah kokus positif Gram (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp.), batang positif Gram, E. coli danÂ  Shigella spp. Â Kata kunci: bromhidrosis, jumlahÂ  kuman, modifikasiÂ  sedot lemak dan kuretase

Published: May 2019

Psoriasis adalah penyakit inflamasi seluler kronis, sering pada anak-remaja (usia <18 tahun) dan dewasa. Prevalensi psoriasis anak-remaja adalah sekitar 0-1,37%. Psoriasis pustulosa termasuk psoriasis pustulosa generalisata (PPG) sangat jarang pada anak-remaja. Gambaran klinisnya hampir sama dengan dewasa. Metotreksat (MTX) merupakan terapi lini pertamanya yang aman.Seorang remaja, 16 tahun, muncul bercak merah dan bintil bernanah di seluruh tubuh. Pertama kali muncul saat pasien berusia 3 bulan. Kemudian muncul kembali 4 bulan dan 2 minggu yang lalu, tidak ada demam maupun gigi berlubang. Riwayat alergi dan keluarga sakit serupa tidak ada. Status dermatologis regio generalisata tampak pustul multipel diskret sebagian konfluens (lake of pustule) dengan dasar eritem dan krusta di atasnya. Pemeriksaan laboratorium ditemukan netrofilia dan hipernatremia. Pemerikaan histopatologi pada epidermis tampak psoriasiform dan sebukan netrofil disertai kelompok netrofil pada subkorneal.Diagnosis PPG pada kasus ini ditegakkan berdasarkan pemeriksaan klinis dan histopatologi. Terapi MTX terutama untuk psoriasis sedangâ€“berat; peroral, subkutan/intradermal dan relatif murah. Saat ini belum ada panduan pengobatan dan dosis MTX untuk anak-remaja. Metotreksat pada pasien ini diberikan seperti pada dewasa. Tolerabilitas dan efikasinya pada anak-remaja dilaporkan pada beberapa laporan kasus, termasuk dari kasus ini walaupun masih memerlukan pemantauan lebih lanjut.Kata kunci: metotreksat, psoriasis pustulosa generalisata pada anak-remaja

Pengetahuan mengenai mekanisme yang mendasari dermatitis atopik (DA) penting untuk penatalaksanaan DA selanjutnya. Pada DA, terjadi proliferasi sitokin T helper (Th)-2. Interleukin (IL)-33 diketahui menginduksi proliferasi sel Th ke arah Th2. Aktivasi sitokin Th2 ini menyebabkan gejala klinis DA. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kadar IL-33 serum dengan derajat keparahan klinis DA di Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Dr. Moh. Hoesin (RSUP MH)Â  Palembang. Metode penelitian observasional analitik laboratorik dengan rancangan potong lintang dilakukan mulai bulan Juli sampai September 2015. Sembilan puluh delapan subjek penelitian didiagnosis DA di Divisi Alergo-Imunologi Poliklinik Dermatologi dan Venereologi (DV) RSUP MH Palembang yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi diikutsertakan sebagai subjek penelitian dengan consecutive sampling. Derajat keparahan klinis DA dinilai menggunakan indeks Severity Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD). Sampel darah diambil guna pemeriksaan kadar IL-33 serum cara metode teknik kuantitatif sandwich enzyme immunoassay. Kovariabel yang diikutsertakan dalam penelitian meliputi usia, jenis kelamin, pendidikan, dan pekerjaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kadar IL-33 serum meningkat signifikan denganÂ  peningkatan derajat keparahan klinis DA. Usia, jenis kelamin, pendidikan, dan pekerjaan tidak memengaruhi derajat keparahan klinis DA. Kesimpulannya ialah kadar IL-33 serum memengaruhi derajat keparahan klinis DA.

Urtikaria konis merupakan salah satu penyakit yang sering ditemui dalam praktek sehari-hari. Pasiendengan urtikaria menempati proporsi besar yang datang ke klinik alergi. Urtikaria kronis merupakan kondisiyang umum dijumpai dan dapat menurunkan kualitas hidup. Ada beberapa penyebab urtikaria kronis yangdapat diidentifikasi dengan mengetahui riwayat klinis. Seringkali penyebab urtikaria bersifat idiopatik dantidak diketahui. Tidak seperti urtikaria akut yang dapat hilang dengan sendirinya dan dapat ditangani secarasimtomatis, penanganan urtikaria kronis harus diidentifikasi faktor penyebabnya agar tidak berulang. Namunobat â€“ obatan tertentu, makanan, penyakit tertentu dan zat â€“ zat tertentu telah terbukti dapat memicu terjadinyaurtikaria kronis. Selain itu fokus infeksi berupa infeksi virus, parasit dan parasit telah banyak diteliti dapatmenimbulkan urtikaria kronis. Menemukan fokus infeksi sistemik penting dalam prognosis dan remisi urtikariakronis. Beberapa penelitian terkini menyebutkan bahwa Helicobacter H. pylori (H. pylori) dapat berperandalam menyebabkan urtikaria kronis, dan eradikasi H. pylori dapat memperbaiki gejala dan remisi urtikariakronis. Untuk itu pendekatan diagnostik dalam menemukan H. pylori sebaiknya menjadi skrining rutin.Kata kunci: Urtikaria Kronis, H. pylori, eradikasi, infeksi, remisi

Introducción: La implementación de las pruebas moleculares para la detección de la infección por hrHPV ha generado cambios en las directrices del tamizaje en la detección oportuna del carcinoma cervicouterino. El objetivo del estudio es presentar la sensibilidad y especificidad de los estudios citológicos y las pruebas moleculares con los estudios histológicos.

Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal, retrospectivo en el hospital de Solca-Quito de enero a diciembre 2014. Se recolectaron los casos con los diagnósticos citológicos cervicouterinos, los resultados de la prueba de PCR tiempo real de hrHPV (Hibribio®) y los diagnósticos histopatológicos en las pacientes a las que se realizó biopsia. El análisis realizado fue “de prueba diagnóstica” para medir la sensibilidad y especificidad de las pruebas.

Resultados: 730 estudios moleculares de hrHPV conjuntamente con estudios citológicos fueron realizados. Los casos positivos para hrHPV fueron 301/730 casos (41.2 %). La mayoría de casos hrHPV positivos corresponde a los genotipos 16/18 (59.5 %) y se encuentra en los rangos de edad entre 30 y 49 años (58.8 %). En 168 casos se realizó además estudio histopatológico, en los que se determinó la sensibilidad (S) de la citología Vs Histología la cual fue de 76 %, la especificidad (E) fue de 48 %, con un valor predictivo positivo (VPP) de 90 %. La S de HrHPV vs Histología fue de 74%, E 39 %, VPP 89 %; la S de Citología + HrHVP vs Histología fue de 91 %, E 40 %, VPP 90 %.

Conclusión: La mayor sensibilidad para el diagnóstico de cáncer cervicouterino la realización de la Citología y la presencia de HrHVP. La mayor especificidad se consiguió con el estudio de Citología.
Medición de riesgo tasas de interés en las instituciones financieras
Authors: Soldevilla Canales Grocio
Published: May 2019

El artículo presenta de una manera resumida las metodologías existentes para la medición del riesgo tasa de interés de las instituciones financieras, que se deriva de las operaciones activas6 y pasivas que realizan. Algunas de esas medidas, como la duración de Macaulay y la duración modificada fueron introducidas en 1938 y otras, como el valor en riesgo, se remontan a la introducción del concepto de varianzas y covarianzas, que básicamente tuvo su origen formal en el trabajo pionero de Harry Markowitz. La decisión de qué métrica utilizar depende básicamente de las características de las operaciones que realiza el banco. Por ejemplo, en una institución donde la mayor parte de sus ingresos se generan en la operación de trading se debe utilizar el plazo, la duración y el valor en riesgo como métricas relevantes para estimar el riesgo tasa de interés. Por el contrario, en los bancos donde los ingresos netos provienen de las operaciones de crédito y de la captación minorista y mayorista, las medidas más apropiadas deben ser el GAP de tasas de interés o de repreciación y el GAP del capital del banco
