Published: November 2021

Coronary heart disease is a heart disease caused by narrowing of the coronary arteries, starting from the occurrence of atherosclerosis (arterial stiffness) or the accumulation of fat or plaque (plague) on the walls of the coronary arteries, either accompanied by clinical symptoms or without symptoms.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is widely reported in developed countries. The incidence of CHD in European men was recorded by WHO in 1976 as 2-14 per 1000 population and CHD is mostly found in Finland. In developing countries, the prevalence of CHD is generally rare. In South Africa in 1970 the death rate from CHD was 0.05 per 1000 black population and 1.9 per 1000 white population. In Ujung Pandang, the average treatment for CHD is 0.3 per 1000 patients. The type of research used is a quantitative study with a descriptive correlation research design, which is a study or study that describes the relationship between two variables in a situation or group of subjects. This is done to see the relationship between one variable with another variable. This study aims to see the relationship between blood type and the incidence of coronary heart disease in the CVCU room at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan in 2010. The population of this study was 11 people using incidental sampling. From the statistical test using the Chi-Square test analysis, it was found that p (value) = 0.012 where p (value) < 0.05. So the results of these tests found a very close and real relationship between the relationship between blood type and the incidence of coronary heart disease. The results of this study can be used as information and increase knowledge for nursing services in hospitals about the relationship between blood type and the incidence of coronary heart disease.

Hypertension is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, hypertension is an increase in systolic blood pressure above the normal limit of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg, factors that cause increased blood pressure are physical activity, emotion, age, gender , nutritional status, drinking alcohol, smoking, stress. Data from the Grandmed Lubuk Pakam Hospital in 2018 the number of hypertension patients there were 178 cases of hypertension, the number of men was 82 people and women 96 people. One of the non-pharmacological therapies offered to reduce hypertension is massage therapy. The massage technique can remove blockages in the blood vessels so that blood and energy flow in the body returns smoothly. This research was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with the type of design to be used, namely the static group comparison method, the sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with purposive sampling technique, where the sample of this study was 20 people. The results showed that the pre-test sample in the treatment group was known to have the highest value of 160/100 mmHg and the lowest value of 130/90 and post-test mmHg with an average pre-test blood pressure value of 142.00 on systolic and 93.00 on diastolic, and 110.00 post-test. in systole and 79.00 in diastole. Based on the results above, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between reflexology neck massage with a decrease in blood pressure in patients with hypertension where the Wilcoxon Test results obtained p = 0.004 (systolic blood pressure) and p = 0.005 (diastolic blood pressure).

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders complicate 5-10% in all pregnant and together form the deadly triad and hemorrhage and heart disease that contribute greatly to maternal morbidity or mortality. This study aims to identify retinal changes in pregnancy-induced hypertension and analyze the association between retinal changes and hypertension severity.
Method: A total of 100 pregnant admitted with pregnancy-induced hypertension(PIH) were included. Patients with pre-existing hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and renal diseases were excluded from the study. The vision, anterior segment, and Fundus were examined.
Result: Higher number of PIH were recorded in the 21-30 years age group. Fifty-four pregnant women suffered from mild preeclampsia, 40 pregnant women with severe preeclampsia, and six pregnant women with eclampsia with seizures. 41% of pregnant had normal fundus, and 24% of pregnant had hypertensive retinopathy. Whereas grade 2,3, and 4 retinopathy was observed in 22%, 6%, and 2% of pregnant women. Two percent of pregnants had macular edema, and 3% had central serous retinopathy. No association was observed between the fundus findings with age/gravida. Whereas a significant positive correlation was observed between the fundus findings and hypertension severity (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Overall, 54% of pregnants were recorded with hypertensive retinopathy. A positive correlation was observed between fundus changes with the hypertension severity. This study reports the importance of routine fundus examination in pregnant with hypertension. Retinal change during pregnancy is an important indicator to decide the pregnancy termination or any other opt.

Resumen

La diverticulitis aguda (DA) es una de las patologías gastrointestinales más prevalentes en Occidente, pudiendo afectar a diferentes localizaciones y presentarse de forma heterogénea en cuanto a síntomas y gravedad.

El curso de la patología diverticular parece impredecible en cuanto a las recurrencias y síntomas crónicos gastrointestinales.

En la última década, la publicación de múltiples estudios ha permitido una mejor comprensión de la DA. Hasta ahora se pensaba que se trataba de una enfermedad agresiva y recurrente, por lo que el umbral de la cirugía ha sido bajo. Comprendiendo mejor el curso de la enfermedad conseguimos un enfoque correcto y con tendencia a disminuir la indicación quirúrgica, lo cual hace que exista un grupo de pacientes cada vez mayor al que seguiremos en el curso de su patología.

Es importante saber cómo manejar a estos pacientes tras el episodio agudo; éste es el punto que desarrollaremos en este capítulo, dejando a un lado el tratamiento de la DA en sí y contemplando qué hacer de forma ambulatoria con los pacientes tras la resolución del cuadro agudo.
To hoard or to share? Strategic management of knowledge and ICTs in complex economic systems
Authors: Canals Agustí 
Published: November 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to achieve a better understanding of the effects of strategic decisions related to the management of knowledge taken by organizations in complex economic systems. These effects are seen in the long term performance of organizations in the system choosing different strategic paths. As knowledge-related processes make intensive use of ICTs, the influence of the degree of development of these technologies is taken into account.Design/methodology/approach: An agent-based simulation model, ImbySim, based in the I-Space conceptual framework, is used to represent the evolution of a group of knowledge-intensive organizations located in a given geographic space. Those organizations engage, among others, in processes of creation and transfer of knowledge assets. Organizations show different levels of performance, which may be related to their knowledge-related strategic choices. The main knowledge-related strategies available for the agents are, on one side, sharing or hoarding knowledge and, on the other side, structuring or de-structuring knowledge.Findings: The results of the simulation suggest that it is not adequate to adopt an 'always sharing' or 'always hoarding' strategy. The hoarding or sharing of knolwedge assets need to be applied in a discriminating way depending on the specific asset or the situation of the organization. Also, different levels of development of ICTs favour different strategic choices concerning the adequate structuring of knowledge assets and the degree of knowledge sharing. In general terms, ICT development calls for more sharing and more structuring of knowledge.Originality/value: From the simulations, a number of empirically testable hypotheses have been extracted. Should these hypotheses get empirically corroborated, they would challenge a certain body of theorising—associated with organizational ecology and organizational demography—thus demonstrating the fruitfulness of the simulation approach to complex knowledge-based problems in the field of strategy.Practical implications: The hypotheses developed from this research may be very useful, once empirically tested, for strategic planning. Policy makers in charge of complex economic systems and firms and institutions present in them may benefit from the insights obtained and define their strategic moves according to them.

Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT.
Substandard and falsified antimalarials contribute to the global malaria burden by increasing the risk of treatment failures, adverse events, unnecessary health expenditures, and avertable deaths. Yet no study has examined this impact in western francophone Africa to date. In Benin, where malaria remains endemic and is the leading cause of mortality among children under five years of age, there is a lack of robust data to combat the issue effectively and inform policy decisions. We adapted the Substandard and Falsified Antimalarial Research Impact (SAFARI) model to assess the health and economic impact of poor-quality antimalarials in this population. The model simulates population characteristics, malaria infection, care-seeking behavior, disease progression, treatment outcomes, and associated costs of malaria. We estimated approximately 1.8 million cases of malaria in Benin among children under five, which cost $193 million (95% CI, $192–$193 million) in treatment costs and productivity losses annually. Substandard and falsified antimalarials were responsible for 11% (nearly 700) of deaths and nearly $20.8 million in annual costs. Moreover, we found that replacing all antimalarials with quality-assured artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs) could result in $29.6 million in annual cost savings and prevent over 1,000 deaths per year. These results highlight the value of improving access to quality-assured ACTs for malaria treatment in Benin. Policy makers and key stakeholders should use these findings to advocate for increased access to quality-assured antimalarials and inform policies and interventions to improve health care access and quality to reduce the burden of malaria.

Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT.
It is important for malaria-endemic countries to address malaria control across international borders, and in particular to prioritize appropriate rapid diagnosis, treatment and surveillance. Bhutan and India aim to achieve malaria elimination by 2023 and 2030 respectively. Malaria elimination along the Indo–Bhutan border is of common concern. We delineated malaria epidemiology along the border to provide a blueprint for focusing malaria control efforts in key foci within this region. Epidemiological data from 2015 to 2019 were analyzed, as the most drastic reductions in malaria burden across most parts of India were witnessed in this time frame. Several areas of concern include low surveillance in most border districts, favorable climatic conditions for perennial malaria transmission, and movement of potential parasite carriers because of the porous borders. India and Bhutan need to control the importation/exportation of malaria cases. We highlight the foci of concern for which implementing tailor-made malaria control strategies may benefit both countries.

ABSTRACT.
Factors associated with nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) infection have not been well characterized to date. We aimed to compare the associated factors among children under age 5 years with NTS infection in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Data from children having moderate-to-severe diarrhea (MSD) and asymptomatic children with NTS isolated from fecal specimens were extracted from the Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS), conducted from December 2007 to March 2011. Compared with NTS-negative children, NTS-associated MSD cases in South Asia were associated with the presence of goat in the house (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.15; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25–3.70) and handwashing after handling an animal (aOR: 2.26; 95% CI: 1.36–3.74). In sub-Saharan Africa, children with NTS associated MSD had a greater association with stunting (1.21 95% CI: 1.01–1.45), longer duration of diarrhea (aOR: 1.25 95% CI: 1.19–1.31); presence of cow in house (aOR: 1.54 95% CI: 1.09–2.16), handwashing after handling animal (aOR: 2.41 95% CI: 1.74–3.33). Drinking tube well water (aOR: 0.54 95% CI: 0.32–0.91), availability of toilet facility (aOR: 0.58 95% CI: 0.53–0.65), and handwashing before eating (aOR: 0.76 95% CI: 0.57–1.00) and after defecation (aOR: 0.80 95% CI: 0.69, 0.94) were found to be protective. The differentials between children of both regions having fecal NTS are distinct and underscore the need for policymaking for preventive and control strategies targeting stunted children.

Published: November 2021

Con el objetivo de evaluar el efecto del uso de Obras de Conservación de Agua y Suelo (OCAS) sobre la biodiversidad en ecosistemas áridos de la Región de Coquimbo, se estudió la componente biodiversidad vegetal y fauna en cuatro áreas: 1) Con OCAS establecida en el año 1999, 2) Ambiente natural sin intervención, 3) Con OCAS establecidas en 2018 y 4) Área degradada con suelo desnudo, erosionado y perturbado.
Se realizaron mediciones estacionales de biodiversidad para las estaciones calendario primavera 2019 (octubre), verano 2020 (enero), otoño 2020 (abril), invierno 2020 (julio), primavera 2020 (octubre) y verano 2021 (enero). Durante cada medición se estableció la riqueza/abundancia de artrópodos, reptiles, aves y mamíferos. En el caso de la vegetación, se determinó la riqueza florística y cobertura vegetal.
Los resultados muestran que el área con OCAS establecidas hace 23 años y el área con ambiente natural sin intervención presentan mayor biodiversidad que los otros dos sitios evaluados (OCAS establecidas hace 3 años y área degradada sin OCAS). De esta manera, las OCAS con vegetación junto con acumular agua y conservar suelo, contribuirían a la osificación de estas áreas degradadas, traduciéndose en una recuperación importante de la biodiversidad de aves y artrópodos presentes, permitiendo concomitantemente disminuir la fragmentación y permitiendo la conectividad biológica (corredores biológicos) con otras áreas naturales de la Región.

Published: November 2021

Introducción: El uso de dosis adecuadas de radiación en pacientes pediátricos es un deber de los centros de diagnóstico médico debido a las características y retos que implica esta población. Por lo anterior, se han establecido unos niveles internacionales de referencia de dosis (DRL, del inglés dose reference level) para optimizar y comparar los protocolos de cada institución. En Colombia no se cuenta con estudios al respecto. Objetivo: Mostrar los DRL utilizados en un hospital universitario de alta complejidad en las modalidades de tomografía computarizada (TC), radiografía y fluoroscopia y compararlos con los estándares internacionales. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo realizado entre 2018 y 2019. Se analizaron datos de producto dosis longitud (DLP) para TC de cráneo, tórax, abdomen y TC de tórax de alta resolución (TACAR); y producto dosis área (DAP) para radiografía de tórax, abdomen, huesos y fluoroscopia por grupos etarios. Resultados: Se obtuvieron los datos de 780 pacientes: 360 radiografías, 100 de fluoroscopia y 320 tomografías. Se encontró que los niveles de referencia de dosis de radiación usados en el hospital son bajos, comparados con guías europeas de 2018 de niveles de referencia. Se describen DRL para cada estudio y grupo etario. Conclusión: Se demostró que en el hospital donde hizo el estudio los niveles de referencia de radiación en la población pediátrica son bajos. El presente trabajo puede servir como referente nacional
