Objective:
Does systematic surveillance help improve arteriovenous fistula (AVF) patency and health economics in renal failure patients?

Materials and Methods:
As part of a quality initiative project, prospective data were maintained in the electronic medical records at the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital by our clinical nurse specialist, of AVFs created for patients requiring renal replacement therapy from December 2015. Beginning in January 2018, a surveillance program of patients undergoing intervention to improve patency of AVF was started. The records of these patients up to December 31, 2019, were accessed to see if the program helped improve patency, thereby reducing the number of emergency admissions and improving health economics. The minimum follow-up period was 8 weeks.

Results:
A total of 143 patients had AVFs created during the study period. Fifty-one patients required fistulogram with or without fistuloplasty. Thirty-six out of 51 (70%) fistulas remain patent, whereas 9 (18%) thrombosed and 6 (12%) were either lost to follow-up or deceased. The number presenting to the emergency department reduced by 50%. In addition, we observed a noticeable reduction in the number of emergency procedures required to sustain the fistula. Both duration of in-hospital stay and repetitive investigations were reduced.

Conclusion:
A surveillance program requires liaising with the patient, their relatives, local health center, regional dialysis unit, interventional radiology, nephrology, and vascular surgery team. We have seen a significant reduction in emergency interventions, increase in overall patency rate of AVFs, shorter in-patient hospital stays, and a decrease in number of laboratory investigations repeated.

Published: February 2021

Purpose and Objective:
Central vein stenosis is not uncommon in renal patients who are on dialysis. Performing new arterio-venous fistula (AVF) in patients with central vein stenosis can lead to significant problems, ultimately leading to loss of AVF. The aim of this study was to assess the role of central venogram before the creation of a new AVF.

Materials and Methods:
All patients who underwent central venogram before AVF surgery between September 2017 and June 2019 were included in the study. The medical records and central venogram images were reviewed. Data regarding demographics, indication, findings of venogram, arterio-venous access performed, were collected using an online database.

Results:
A total of 143 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 52.25 (range 23–86 years) and 85 were men (59.44%). One hundred and thirty-nine out of 143 (97.2%) patients were on dialysis and had a history of ipsilateral and/or contralateral central vein catheterization. However, only 18 of 143 (12.58%) had central vein symptoms. The most common indication was being a precious fistula or last access option (64 patients; 44.75%). Central venogram identified ipsilateral abnormality in 52 patients (36.36%) and contralateral abnormality in 46 patients. Preoperative plan was changed in 24 patients (16.78%) due to venogram findings.

Conclusions:
This study highlights that central vein stenosis/occlusion can exist in renal dialysis patients even without obvious clinical signs and symptoms. Routine use of diagnostic central venogram in such high-risk patients can identify central vein problems preoperatively and prevent postoperative complications.

This article discusses pastoral counseling for shemale groups. In the time of creation, Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them”. This verse provides clear evidence that in terms of sex or gender, there are actually contrasting differences between men and women. Men and women are two different individuals, there is no mixing of both or shemale. However, in reality, it was found that they were male but felt that they were women. In general, shemale experienced errors in identifying their gender. This mistake is caused by a psychological disorder called gender identity disorder. It appears that in society, shemale behavior is seen as abnormal or deviant behavior. They often experience rejection, mockery, insults and even become targets of various acts of violence. In the midst of the negative response from the general public to the existence of transgender women.

Teenagers as the successors of the Indonesian people have received high expectations from the community in moral behavior. Various challenges faced by adolescents today can be able to plunge adolescents into immoral behavior. Adolescent moral behavior is based on adolescent moral anxiety, namely the existence of a personal sense of blame every time a teenager commits an offense. Moral anxiety of adolescents is influenced by the level of adolescent religiosity, if adolescents with moderate religiosity tend to have high moral anxiety as well. To get adolescents with good moral religiosity and anxiety need an alternative moral guidance for juvenile delinquency. Alternative moral guidance is carried out through the cultivation of the character of faith and devotion to God who is omnipresent. In addition, it is necessary to involve teachers of Religious Education and Human Rights as counselors and the implementation of scout extracurricular activities that can shape the positive character of students.

The results of desk research carried out by the authors, methods of generalization, comparative analysis, induction, decomposition, graphical method were used. The Results. The article outlines the results of the analysis of the public catering market in Russia in general, and the Republic of Adygea, in particular. Despite the crisis in the economy, the Russian public catering market is quite promising. The capacity of domestic catering is several times higher than the current turnover, which indicates its undersaturation. In addition, the article presents monitoring of the Russian and regional market for healthy food products, which led to the conclusion that public catering networks promoting a healthy lifestyle are recognized as one of the fastest growing segments of the public catering market. The conclusion. The growth of the Russian and world markets for healthy food is a direct consequence of changes in consumer patterns. Today traditional criteria of consumer choice in the food market (price, taste and quality) are inseparable from a new group of criteria, most of which are indicators of growing popularity for residents of all countries: health and a healthy lifestyle, safety and transparency (consumers want to know what exactly they consume). A healthy lifestyle today is becoming not just a trend, but a lifestyle all over the world.

Educar es alumbrar, es ayudar al crecimiento de lo más humano del ser humano; educar es confiar, la confianza no es permisiva, implica acoger a la persona en su integridad; educar es pedir, los papás lo saben bien, ellos, así como de otra manera los maestros, igualmente reciben otro don, que les ayuda a madurar como padres y maestros; educar es sembrar, lo esencial del crecimiento es cualitativo, mientras que el enriquecimiento en la dimensión del poseer se da tan solo por acumulación; educar es alentar, el definitivo logro dependerá de los hábitos virtuosos con los que cada persona provea las alforjas para recorrer su itinerario biográfico.
El modelo de la alternancia y la desigualdad educativa territorial en la educación en Colombia
Authors: Herrera Monsalve Doris Yaneth 
Published: February 2021

Este artículo pretende evidenciar la desigualdad educativa territorial que existe en Colombia, en especial, en el marco de la coyuntura de la emergencia sanitaria nacional por causa del coronavirus COVID-19, declarada mediante resolución 385 del 12 de marzo de 2020 por el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social y de conformidad a lo manifestado en la circular 20 del Ministerio de Educación Nacional, por tanto, se pretende problematizar el “modelo de alternancia” propuesto por el gobierno nacional. Este artículo pretende abrir opciones para repensar a los sujetos que van a la escuela -estudiantes y docentes- como lo plantea Southwell (2014): “los múltiples modos en que los sujetos enseñantes asumen, viven y piensan su tarea, y los problemas, desafíos y utópicas que se plantean en torno de ella” (p. 166).

Por tanto, el modelo de la alternancia presenta la posibilidad de una relación multidimensional, y se espera que este texto sea un disparador para conversaciones entre los hacedores de la política pública y los sujetos que asisten a las instituciones educativas como una oportunidad para debatir y comprender “el orden social” (Ranciére, 2018).

En suma, la ruta de este articulo plantea un interrogante para abrir diálogos en el sistema educativo del centro y la periferia ¿Cuáles son esos artefactos que posibilitaran traspase de la sinrazón no igualitaria?, en términos de Ranciére (2018): “el amor a la dominación obliga a los hombres a protegerse unos de otros, en el seno de un orden convencional que no puede ser razonable porque no está hecho más que de la sinrazón de cada uno” (p. 134).

El texto se organizó en dos grandes apartados. El primero de ellos, busca hacer una presentación somera que describe y ubica geográficamente a dos municipios en Colombia- Bogotá y Arauca-, al parecer muy disimiles por la extensión y la ubicación geográfica que aplican los mismos indicadores que da cuenta de los discursos hegemónicos que han estado presente en el continente latinoamericano y que han socavado la libertad en términos de Ranciére (2018): “es más cómo compararse, establecer el intercambio social como ese truque de gloria y desprecio en donde cada uno recibe superioridad en contrapartida de la inferioridad que confiesa. Así la igualdad entre seres razonables vacila en la desigualdad social” (p. 134). En un segundo apartado, se plantea que la alternancia plantea una medida desde una mirada univoca perdiendo de perspectiva la riqueza que da el entramado social del sistema de educación en Colombia y pone sobre la mesa una oportunidad para abrir mundos y caminos distintos para cumplir con la permanencia escolar y establece un desafío para familias, docentes, niños y jóvenes en la ampliación de estrategias en clave de la concepción de la justicia como un asunto ético de la sociedad colombiana que no pierda de vista la educabilidad capaz de producir desarrollos según las características singulares de los sujetos (Martinis, 2016).
