Abstract
Background: Fractures of the distal radius are one of the most common osteoporotic fractures in elderly men and women. These fractures are a particular health concern amongst the elderly, who are at risk of fragility fractures, and are associated with long-term functional impairment, pain and a variety of complications. This is a sentinel event as these fractures are associated with 2 to 4 times increased risk of subsequent hip fractures in elderly patients. This is an important concept as it is well established that these patients have an increased risk of falling. Fall prevention is therefore crucial to decrease further morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of low-magnitude high frequency vibration (LMHFV) on postural stability and prevention of falls in elderly patients post distal radius fracture. Methods: This is a prospective single-blinded randomized controlled trial. 200 patients will be recruited consecutively with consent, and randomized to either LMHFV (n=100) or control group (n=100). The primary outcome is postural stability measured by the static and dynamic ability of patients to maintain center of balance on the Biodex Balance System SD. Secondary outcomes are the occurrence of fall, the health-related quality of life (SF-36), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test for basic mobility skills, compliance and adverse events. Outcome assessments for both groups will be performed at baseline 0 months, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months time-points. Discussion: Previous studies have stressed the importance of reducing falls in distal radius fracture elderly patients, and an effective intervention is crucial. Numerous studies have proven vibration therapy to be effective in improving balancing ability in normal patients. No previous study has applied the device for fracture patients. Our study will be going to translate LMHFV to fracture patients to improve postural stability and prevent recurrent falls. Positive results would provide a large impact in the prevention of secondary fractures and save healthcare costs.

Abstract
Background: To compare the effectiveness of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) injections for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) in eyes with and without previous vitrectomy. Methods: The medical records of 30 eyes (13 vitrectomized, 17 nonvitrectomized) of 28 patients (mean age, 59.0±9.6 years; male to female ratio 1:1) who were diagnosed with DME and had received IVR treatment were reviewed retrospectively. The indications of vitrectomy in 13 vitrectomized eyes were intravitreal hemorrhage (n=8), vitreomacular traction (n=1), and epiretinal membrane (n=4). The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and total macular volume (TMV) were measured at baseline and at months 6, 12, 18, and 24 of the follow-up. The number of IVR injections, the duration between diagnosis of DME and IVR injection, and hemoglobin A1c ( HbA1c ) level at baseline were also recorded. Retreatment criteria included persistence of submacular fluid, intraretinal cysts, or CMT of more than 300 μm. Results: Baseline demographics, HbA1c, BCVA, CMT, and TMV values were similar between the vitrectomized and nonvitrectomized groups (p>0.05). The duration between diagnosis of DME and IVR injections was longer in the nonvitrectomized group than in the vitrectomized group (16±5 months vs. 13±4 months, respectively; p=0.045). IVR injection was performed 6.3 times in vitrectomized eyes and 6.1 times in nonvitrectomized eyes during the 24-month period (p>0.05). The mean BCVA improved significantly during the 24-month period in both groups (for vitrectomized group from 0.51±0.26 logMAR to 0.40±0.22 logMAR; for nonvitrectomized group from 0.72±0.28 logMAR to 0.50±0.22 logMAR). The improvement in BCVA was significant at month 6 in nonvitrectomized eyes, while there was no significant improvement in vitrectomized eyes before month 18. Compared to the baseline values, the decrease in both CMT and TMV was significant in months 6, 12, 18, and 24 in the nonvitrectomized group (p<0.05). In the vitrectomized group both CMT and TMV improved significantly only in months 18 and 24 (p<0.05). Conclusion: IVR treatment for DME is equally effective in both vitrectomized and nonvitrectomized eyes. However, the response to treatment is seen later in vitrectomized eyes compared to nonvitrectomized eyes.
Experimental Designs and Estimation Methods for On‐Farm Research: A Simulation Study of Corn Yields at Field Scale
Authors: Alesso Carlos Agustín , Cipriotti Pablo Ariel , Bollero Germán Alberto , Martin Nicolas Federico 
Published: December 2019

On‐farm experimentation using Precision Agriculture technology enables farmers to make decisions based on data from their fields. Results from on‐farm experiments depend on the experimental design and statistical analyses performed. Detailed information about the accuracy of the treatment effect estimates, and Type I error rates of hypothesis testing under different spatial structure scenarios attained by alternative experimental designs and analysis is required to improve on‐farm research experiments. Three thousand yield data sets were drawn from 15 random fields simulated by unconditional Gaussian geostatistical simulation technique and were modeled by applying 10 experimental designs and three estimation methods with experimental units ranging from 138 to 9969 m2. No effect of spatial structure, experimental design, and estimation methods was observed on overall mean yield and treatment bias. Unaddressed changes of nugget/sill ratio and range of variogram had a significant effect on estimator efficiency and accuracy with Type I error rates above the nominal rate, which increased with higher spatial autocorrelation. Spatial methods were robust to changes in spatial structure regardless of the design. Randomization of treatment increased the uncertainty of model estimators. In general, the accuracy of treatment effect estimates increased with the number of replications of smaller size. The opposite trend was observed between those estimates and the size of the plots. Analyses showed that the best designs for testing the overall treatment effect in two‐treatment experiments would be split‐planter, strip‐plots, and chessboard because of their size and number of experimental units.Core Ideas

Spatial autocorrelation increases grand mean estimator variance in any design or method.
Spatial autocorrelation reduces treatment effect estimator efficiency if not modeled.
Spatial autocorrelation increases Type I error if not modeled.
Designs with small experimental units (strip plots or chessboard) performed better.
Cardiovascular Risk Assessment in People Living With HIV: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Real-Life Data
Authors: Grand Marina , Bia Daniel , Diaz Alejandro 
Published: December 2019

Background:People living with HIV (PLWHIV) have a 2-fold higher risk of having a cardiovascular event than HIV-negative individuals.Objectives:The objective of this article is to estimate the pooled proportion of moderate-high cardiovascular risk in PLWHIV obtained through different scores. In addition, this study also aims to establish the prevalence of dyslipidemia, smoking habits, diabetes and high blood pressure in the included studies.Methods:A bibliographic search was conducted in MEDLINE for studies on cardiovascular risk assessment in PLWHVI that took place during the period of inception to July 2018. The eligibility criteria for inclusion were: cross-sectional or longitudinal studies on HIV-positive adults in which the prevalence of moderate-high cardiovascular risk (or data to calculate it) was reported, and included at least one of the following cardiovascular risk scores: Framingham, ASCVD, D:A:D, Progetto Cuore, PROCAM, SCORE, Regicor, and World Health Organization scores.Results:Bibliographic search identified 278 studies. Finally, thirty-nine peer-reviewed publications were identified for a collective total of 13698 subjects. The pooled prevalence of moderate-high cardiovascular risk in PLWHIV obtained with nine different scores through random-effect modeling was 20.41% (95% CI: 16.77-24.31). The most prevalent concomitant cardiovascular risk factor was dyslipidemia (39.5%), smoking (33.0 %), high blood pressure (19.8%) and diabetes (7.24%).Conclusions:Data obtained in this systematic review indicate that more than 1 in every five subjects with HIV have a moderate-high cardiovascular risk. In consequence, the burden of cardiovascular disease in PLWHIV represents a public health problem. There is an urgent need to develop strategies to prevent and detect cardiovascular risk effectively in PLWHIV.

Whether it is the private sector or public sector, it is important for auditors to have an adequate framework when evaluating internal control systems governance. One of the most widely used frameworks used by audit practitioners is the COSO Internal Control-Integrated Framework Governance. As auditors examine different global frameworks, one can quickly identify the importance the COSO Internal Control-Integrated Framework Governance has on evaluating internal control systems globally. As audit practitioners, it is essential to have a universal framework that can systematically assist in evaluating an internal control system. As auditors and management look toward the future, whether it is private or public sector auditing, they can-will see the fingerprints of the COSO Internal Control-Integrated Framework Governance in evaluating future internal control systems throughout the world. This article are helpful to both the pravite sector management and policymakers.

“Los muros del exilio”. Reflexiones sobre las transformaciones de las dinámicas del exilio a raíz de la caída del Muro de Berlín
Authors: Rico Malacara Alan Yosafat 
Published: December 2019

<p>Uno de los eventos más importantes que configuró al siglo xxfue la caída del Muro de Berlín. La trascendencia de este suceso es tal que modificó tanto la mirada de los hechos precedentes a la caída como toda la dinámica sociopolítica posterior a ella. El objetivo del presente artículo es reflexionar acerca de las transformaciones que sufrieron las dinámicas de los procesos de exilio, a partir de la mirada crítica de las causas y consecuencias de este fenómeno. Utilizando una estrategia de carácter comparativo y documental, se explorarán algunos elementos generales de las lógicas de producción y desarrollo del exilio, visto como una exclusión política, de la manera en que solían suceder previo a 1989 y como suceden hoy en día, sin perder de vista las redes sociales y actores políticos e institucionales que incidían e inciden generalmente en dichas dinámicas.</p>
El discurso de la desunión: la disputa jurisdiccional por las limosnas de la virgen de Guadalupe en Nueva España, 1572-1607
Authors: Gómez García Lidia E. , Cruz Eduardo Ángel 
Published: December 2019

<p>Esta investigación estudia el conflicto jurisdiccional por la recaudación de limosnas de la virgen de Guadalupe entre los frailes franciscanos, los procuradores jerónimos y el arzobispado mexicano desde 1556 hasta 1606. Bajo el presupuesto metodológico de que toda recaudación (incluida la limosna) constituía un acto político en la monarquía hispana, se analizan los procesos legales suscitados en 1556, 1562, 1572 y 1606 sobre el establecimiento y la administración del culto guadalupano en la Nueva España. Estos debates jurídicos indican que el conflicto de demanda de limosnas fue un factor de consideración para el surgimiento del discurso sagrado aparicionista de mediados del siglo XVII, siendo éste entonces no sólo un manifiesto de la devoción guadalupana sino también un argumento jurídico que terminó por hacer irreductible la brecha entre una y otra mariofanía.</p>
