Published: October 2021

PurposeTo identify whether chemoradiotherapy improves survival of stage I nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Materials and MethodsNPC patients were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between 2010 and 2015. Pathologically confirmed stage T1N0M0 (the 7th edition AJCC) were investigated. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were compared between the radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy groups using the Kaplan-Meier method and propensity score matching (PSM) analyses.ResultsThis study included 91 (40.27%) patients in the chemoradiotherapy group and 135 (59.73%) patients in the radiotherapy group. Before PSM, chemoradiotherapy was associated with worse 3-year OS (74.31 vs 87.23%; P = 0.025) and 5-year OS (64.28 vs 83.12%; P = 0.001) compared to those associated with radiotherapy. Similarly, chemoradiotherapy showed worse 3-year CSS (87.01 vs 96.97%; P = 0.028) and 5-year CSS (80.39 vs. 96.97%; P = 0.002) than those of radiotherapy. After PSM, chemoradiotherapy revealed worse 5-year OS (63.10 vs. 82.49%; P = 0.031) and CSS (80.95 vs. 93.70%; P = 0.016) than radiotherapy. The multivariate regression analysis revealed that chemoradiotherapy was an independent risk prognostic factor for OS and CSS before and after PSM.ConclusionRadiotherapy alone is recommended for stage I NPC patients.

Published: October 2021

We report on the fabrication of optical ridge waveguide in barium fluoride (BaF2) crystal by 15 MeV C5+ ions irradiation with femtosecond laser ablation. The near-field modal profile and propagation loss of the waveguide at mid-infrared wavelength 4 µm are investigated by using end-face coupling system. We implement a series of annealing treatment and it efficiently reduces the propagation loss of the waveguide. The confocal Raman spectra demonstrate that the lattice structure of BaF2 crystal does not change largely after C5+ ion irradiation.

Published: October 2021

Background: Swimming is used for rehabilitation and conditioning purposes in equine sports medicine despite the lack of understanding of equine swimming kinematics. The aim of this study was to assess forelimb joints kinematics (elbow, carpus, and fetlock) in swimming horses. The specific objectives were 1- to calculate and compare joint angles in swimming vs. passive mobilizations (PM), 2- to determine joint angular velocities during a swimming stride cycle.Methods: Eleven elite endurance horses swam in a 100-m straight pool. Underwater (swimming) and overground (PM) videos were recorded from the horses' left side. Joint markers were applied on the lateral hoof wall, lateral metacarpal epicondyle, ulnar carpal bone, lateral humeral epicondyle, and the greater tubercle of humerus, from which elbow, carpus and fetlock angles, and angular velocities were obtained. As a reference, maximal fetlock, carpus, and elbow flexion/extension angles were determined during PM overground. Differences between angle extrema, angular velocities and range of motion (ROM) were compared.Results: Carpus and fetlock ROM were significantly smaller (p &lt; 0.001) during swimming when compared with PM, while there was no difference in elbow ROM between both situations. The carpus had the greatest ROM of all joints during swimming. Absolute angular velocities values of all joints during swimming were greater during retraction than protraction (p &lt; 0.001). When compared to other joints during protraction, the carpus joint reached the highest angular velocity.Conclusion: Swimming, as a rehabilitation exercise, has the potential to benefit horses where great elbow ROM with a moderate carpus and fetlock extension are wanted.

Published: October 2021

Background: Sarcocystosis is a parasitic disease caused by intracellular protozoan parasite of the genus Sarcocystis. Tissue samples of alpacas (n = 4) from Henan province (China) were screened for Sarcocystis spp. infection by histological examination, pepsin digestion, and molecular assays.Results:Sarcocystis spp. was detected in heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney of an alpaca by molecular assays. Many sarcocysts with inflammation responses were observed in this alpaca myocardium, and they showed a high similarity to Sarcocystis masoni by sequence analysis.Conclusion: This study is the first to demonstrate Sarcocystis spp. infection in alpaca from China. The higher parasite load in the alpaca myocardium indicated that it had contact with an environment contaminated with sporocysts, and that the alpaca was susceptible to Sarcocystis spp.

BackgroundAlthough problems that impair task completion — known as operational failures — are an important focus of concern in primary care, they have remained little studied.AimTo quantify the time GPs spend on different activities during clinical sessions; to identify the number of operational failures they encounter; and to characterise the nature of operational failures and their impact for GPs.Design and settingMixed-method triangulation study with 61 GPs in 28 NHS general practices in England from December 2018 to December 2019.MethodTime–motion methods, ethnographic observations, and interviews were used.ResultsTime–motion data on 7679 GP tasks during 238 hours of practice in 61 clinical sessions suggested that operational failures were responsible for around 5.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 4.5% to 5.4%) of all tasks undertaken by GPs and accounted for 3.9% (95% CI = 3.2% to 4.5%) of clinical time. However, qualitative data showed that time–motion methods, which depend on pre-programmed categories, substantially underestimated operational failures. Qualitative data also enabled further characterisation of operational failures, extending beyond those measured directly in the time–motion data (for example, interruptions, deficits in equipment/supplies, and technology) to include problems linked to GPs’ coordination role and weaknesses in work systems and processes. The impacts of operational failures were highly consequential for GPs’ experiences of work.ConclusionGPs experience frequent operational failures, disrupting patient care, impairing experiences of work, and imposing burden in an already pressurised system. This better understanding of the nature and impact of operational failures allows for identification of targets for improvement and indicates the need for coordinated action to support GPs.

Gestión de la responsabilidad social territorial y su relación con la educación superior de calidad
Authors: Huamanchumo Sánchez Lilly 
Published: October 2021

La crisis actual que atraviesa la Universidad y que afecta seriamente su actuación en la sociedad, radica –más allá del papel del Estado-, en el insuficiente quehacer de la formación académica, el limitado trabajo de investigación científica, la inadecuada puesta en marcha de la extensión universitaria, la poca elucidación en torno a lo que significa la responsabilidad social y arraigada en una visión empresarial. El objetivo de la investigación es conocer si la GRST está fuertemente relacionada con la Educación Superior de Calidad (ESC) porque creemos que su implementación en las universidades de laregión, especialmente de Perú, coadyuvaría a que desde un nuevo enfoque de RSU se avance hacia la calidad de la educación superior desde una gestión responsable que la contemple, sin descuidar su rol social. Como conclusión, según Rho de Spearman, La GRST (gestión institucional, formación profesional, investigación, extensión universitaria) y la ESC (actuación, autonomía, crítica, diversidad, equitativa, inclusiva, efectividad, pertinencia) tienen una fuerte y significativa relación a percepción de sus autoridades en las universidades de Perú, 2019, por lo que, si se implementa la GRST en las universidades peruanas, esta tendría éxito gracias a la correspondencia entre ambas variables.

Published: October 2021

AbstractInternal bodily signals provide an essential function for human survival. Accurate recognition of such signals in the self, known as interoception, supports the maintenance of homeostasis, and is closely related to emotional processing, learning and decision-making, and mental health. While numerous studies have investigated interoception in the self, the recognition of these states in others has not been examined despite its crucial importance for successful social relationships. This paper presents the development and validation of the Interoceptive States Static Images (ISSI), introducing a validated database of 423 visual stimuli for the study of non-affective internal state recognition in others, freely available to other researchers. Actors were photographed expressing various exemplars of both interoceptive states and control actions. The images went through a two-stage validation procedure, the first involving free-labelling and the second using multiple choice labelling and quality rating scales. Five scores were calculated for each stimulus, providing information about the quality and specificity of the depiction, as well as the extent to which labels matched the intended state/action. Results demonstrated that control action stimuli were more recognisable than internal state stimuli. Inter-category variability was found for the internal states, with some states being more recognisable than others. Recommendations for the utilisation of ISSI stimuli are discussed. The stimulus set is freely available to researchers, alongside data concerning recognisability.
