<p>Antecedentes: La criptococosis es una micosis invasiva causada principalmente por Criptococcusneoformans. Esta enfermedad afecta sobre todo a pacientes inmunosuprimidos, particularmente pacientes con infección por VIH pero también puede afectar inmunocompetentes. Las formas de presentación clínica más frecuentes son meningitis y afectación pulmonar.</p><p>Metodología: En este trabajo se pretende determinar el perfil epidemiológico, las características clínicas y la respuesta al tratamiento de los pacientes con criptococosis en el Hospital San Juan de Dios,período 2008-2012; diagnosticados en el laboratorio de bacteriología del hospital. Se obtienen los datos mediante un estudio observacional de revisión de expedientes de una muestra final de 33 expedientes.</p><p>Resultados:De la muestra analizada un 78,8% fue del género masculino con una mediana de edad de 40,1 ± 11.9 años. El 72,7% tenía enfermedad por VIH,20% inmunocompetentes y 9.1% inmunosupresión farmacológica sobre todo por patologías autoinmunes. La presentación clínica fue 72.7 % como meningitis, 12.2 % pulmonar, 9.1 % forma diseminada y 6.1 % forma cutánea. La forma meníngea predominó en pacientes con VIH y la pulmonar en inmunocompetentes. La especie identificada fue C. neoformans87.9 %, C. laurentii 9.1 % y C. uniguttulatus 3%.La tinta chinacomo método diagnóstico mostró una sensibilidad de 25 % en VIH negativos y 58 % en VIH positivos. Se le suministró anfotericina B deoxicolatoal 100 % de los pacientes con VIH y 44 % de los VIH negativos. El 30 % de los pacientes con VIH falleció y ninguno de los VIH negativos.</p><p>Conclusiones: La criptocosis es una micosis que afecta fundamentalmente adultos jóvenes inmunocomprometidos, particularmente en pacientes VIH positivos men fase de SIDA. Meningitis es la presentación más frecuente, y la forma pulmonar predominó en inmunocompetentes.

Published: February 2016

<p>La amenaza de parto pretérmino, consiste en la presencia de contracciones uterinas regulares asociadas a modificaciones cervicales, que ocurren después de las 20 y antes de las 37 semanas de gestación, independientemente del peso al nacer, y es de causa multifactorial. A pesar de que se ha logrado disminuir su frecuencia, debido a las mejoras existentes en prácticas de fertilidad y el aumento de estrategias que buscan la prevención de esta patología; sigue siendo una de las principales causas de mortalidad y morbilidad infantil, lo que ocasiona secuelas a corto y largo plazo, y lo convierte en una importante problema de salud pública. Debido a esto es trascendental reconocer a todas aquellas mujeres que tengan riesgo de presentar una amenaza de parto pretérmino, principalmente aquellas que ya tuvieron antecedente de un parto prematuro. Sin embargo en muchas ocasiones no es posible encontrar factores de riesgo por lo que se debe tener conocimiento de las diferentes herramientas clínicas, diagnósticas y terapéuticas de esta patología para poder así realizar un diagnostico rápido y tomar las medidas necesarios del caso, ya que la sobrevida neonatal aumenta progresivamente con la edad gestacional, por lo que cada día tiene un impacto crítico en esta, además disminuye el riesgo de mortalidad y de complicaciones. El siguiente manuscrito consiste en una revisión bibliográfica de la amenaza de parto pretérmino, en cuanto a sus generalidades, factores de riesgo, etiología, métodos diagnósticos y tratamiento.</p>
TEMA 7-2016: Rehabilitación en VIH/SIDA
Authors: Uclés Villalobos Vanessa , Espinoza Reyes Roison Ali 
Published: February 2016

<p>Los primeros casos reportados de VIH remontan a la fecha de 1983, desde entonces se ha desarrollado una pandemia de la infección a nivel mundial. Siendo esta una de las enfermedades emergentes que han incrementado en los últimos años y Costa Rica no escapa a esta tendencia. Los efectos adversos a los medicamentos, las infecciones oportunistas y la sintomatología del HIV hacen que ésta población quede predispuesta a la limitación de sus capacidades funcionales. Los efectos secundarios a los anti retrovirales generan toxicidad que alteran la homeostasis del organismo creando paso a una serie de síndromes y cuadros clínicos que afectan al aparato locomotor como lo son neuropatías, lipohipertrofia, lipoatrofia, miopatías, entre otras. La rehabilitación puede ser ampliamente definida como cualquiera de los servicios y actividades que tratan o previenen deficiencias, limitaciones en la actividad diaria o participaciones de restricciones experimentadas por un individuo, cuyos beneficios podrían satisfacer y ayudar a contribuir con el bien estar físico, emocional, social, laboral y funcional de una persona creando una autonomía en la dependencia de las actividades diarias o adaptaciones para los pacientes que así lo requieran.</p>
TEMA 8-2016: Sindrome de Brugada
Authors: Pacheco Ovares Enrique , Grant Villegas Stanley 
Published: February 2016

<p>El Síndrome de Brugada es una de las causas más importantes de un paro cardíaco repentino y la muerte súbita cardiaca , por fibrilación ventricular. Pertenece a una serie de anomalías en el ritmo en el que se detectaron daños en la estructura cardíaca. La penetración genética variable del síndrome provoca que muchos pacientes pueden ser asintomáticos , mientras que otros pueden perecer antes del primer año de vida. La mutación de un canal de sodio es la causa directa y la mutación del gen SCN5A se relaciona directamente con este anomalías y hay otras mutaciones genéticas que se encuentran actualmente en estudio. Los medicamentos no son en realidad la primera línea de tratamiento para los pacientes sintomáticos , actualmente la ICP ( desfibrilador automático implantable ) debería ser el tratamiento de primera línea para casi todos los pacientes.</p>

The study dealt on the application of cryptography to generic mobile phones to provide users a technology for the privacy, authentication, and security of communication sent or received. Thus, this research effort, which is focused on the implementation of symmetric cryptography on SMS messaging applicable in generic phones using J2ME Platform, intended to design a mobile phone application that can facilitate exchange of encrypted text through Data Encryption Standard (DES) cryptography algorithm. This process required both phones to be installed with encryption application that can encode and decode the text message using a password. Experimental development with descriptive approach was employed to realize the objectives set by the researcher. To gather primary data, a pre-interview was done involving randomly selected mobile phone users as participants, the results from which were used as basis for data analysis. Secondary resources derived from various Internet resources were integrated to support the findings. Results of the study revealed that the application was installed successfully in Nokia 5300, C3 and 2600 classic, where the user could create or write new message/s, view lists of received message/s and could also send. Problems were encountered though in terms of the inability of the mentioned Nokia units to receive any message/s from using the application.

Learning Styles and Basic Communication Skills
Authors: Dayon Charlie E. , Natad Joan S. 
Published: February 2016

<p>This study used the descriptive correlation survey research method to establish the relationship between the learning styles and basic communication skills of the Information Technology Education students who were officially enrolled in English 1 during the first semester of the school year 2011-2012 in the University of the Immaculate Conception. The researchers then identified the types of secondary school and elementary schools attended by the respondents. Survey questionnaireswere used to determine the respondent’s profile and the student learning styles scales by Grasha –Reichmann (2008). The statistical tools used were frequency, percentage and Chi-square test. The researcher concluded that an almost similar number of respondents had high school grades equivalent to 85 and above in comparison to those with high school grades below 85. Moreover, majority of the respondents were from private elementary and secondary schools. Most of them registered poor English proficiency and reported collaborating learning styles. Furthermore, the learning styles, high school average grade in English, and the types of elementary and secondary schools attended by the respondents did not significantly affect respondents’ English proficiency. Only teacher factors influenced it. It is therefore crucial for teachers to ensure that their preferred teaching styles could optimize students’ learning.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords.</strong> Learning styles, basic communication skills, descriptive-correlation, University of the Immaculate Conception, Davao City, Philippines.</p>
The Essence of Notetaking
Authors: Parantar Armando B. 
Published: February 2016

<p>The study specifically attempted to describe the essence of note-taking and the favorable and unfavorable experiences of the students who take and do not take notes. This work employed a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore and describe the experiences of two groups of college students who take and do not take notes. They came from the departments of Liberal Arts, Engineering, Pharmacy and HRM (Hotel and Restaurant Management) of the University of the Immaculate Conception, Davao City. The first group was composed of eight students who keep the habit of note-taking. The second group is composed of eight students without the habit of note-taking. The basis of selection of students to comprise the grouping was purposive. It was determined in the initial invitation that they either take or do not take notes and with the gauge of their open attitude to expressing or communicating their experiences clearly. The results of the study revealed that note-takers consider notes to activate the mind, to make learning personal, to help in test preparations, to complete their learning materials, and to work well with the visual and kinesthetic learners. On the other hand, non-notetakers unveiled their positions that notes were limiting and limited, burdensome, time-consuming, and unnecessary for auditory learners. The finding revealed that notetaking is both necessary and depending on the types of learners. For the visual and kinesthetic, it is indispensable; but for auditory learner it is not needed it. The study suggests that teaching strategies must adjust with the types of learners a mentor has. In addition, notetaking must not be a compulsory requirement of all students; it shall rather be taken just as one of the multiple ways of learning.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Education, essence, notetaking, qualitative, focused group discussion, learners, Philippines</p>
Utilization of Matrix Concepts for Traffic Control in Davao City
Authors: Pacabis Christelle L. , Ozoa Roxanne C. , Limjuco Renan P. 
Published: February 2016

<p>A traffic matrix is a network-wide description of the total traffic volume carried within a domain, where each element describes the volume of traffic that originates at one node and is destined for another, and corresponds to an origin-destination (OD) pair. The Davao City local government implemented a project for traffic system with road sensors and CCTV (closed-circuit television) cameras but years after, some traffic lights appear to be blinking. It then takes a long time before the traffic lights restored to its usual function. Thus, not all of the intersection of streets in Davao City has traffic control. This study aimed to utilize matrix concepts on traffic control through computations using systems of linear equation and Gauss Jordan elimination involving actual traffic vehicle density data recorded from selected 4-cornered and 3-cornered blocks of Davao City. A descriptive method, specifically a mix of field survey and computational approach was utilized. The traffic matrix created indicates that for traffic to keep flowing in the 4-cornered block, 1430, 151, and 261 cars per hour must be routed between intersections 1 and 2, intersections 3 and 2, and intersections 3 and 4, respectively in an hour. For the 3-cornered block, 200, 711 and 1094 cars per hour need to be routed between intersections 1 and 2, 3 and 2 and 1 and 3, respectively. Then, the matrix is used to know how to organize the vehicles and control their entering and leaving a street to avoid traffic jam.</p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Matrix concept, traffic control, linear equation, Gauss Jordan, descriptive method, Davao City, Philippines</p><div> </div>
