Indicadores de accidentalidad laboral, normatividad y recomendaciones en Colombia.
Authors: Gallego P María Isabel , Correa M Juan Carlos 
Published: July 2024

Bajo la denominación de indicadores se agrupan las medidas de morbilidad y mortalidad relacionadas con accidentes de trabajo que se usan para comparación, principalmente entre periodos. El objetivo de las acciones de prevención es reducir la frecuencia de ocurrencia de lesiones en lugar de trabajo y para ello, los indicadores actúan como medidas de seguimiento, con los que se intenta representar el fenómeno no solo en términos de cantidad sino también de gravedad de las lesiones o daño a la salud de los trabajadores. En este trabajo se presentan los indicadores más recomendados en salud ocupacional: índice de severidad o tasa de gravedad; tasa y porcentaje de severidad y medida de días perdidos, En Colombia dentro del Sistema de Riesgos Profesionales no tienen acceso a este tipo de datos, lo cual hace que los indicadores mas utilizados sean la tasa de incidencia y la tasa de severidad, en lugar de los índices de frecuencia y la tasa de severidad. La otra limitante es la falta de precisión en la información sobre población expuesta, en su lugar, se usa el dato de población cobertura, como lo recomienda la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT).

Published: July 2024

The concepts used in metrology are increasingly part of the productive process of metallurgical companies, considering the globalization of the world market. The interpretation of metrological concepts and their application in decision-making is still a challenge for the industry, especially for the measurement uncertainty calculation. Industries in the casting area are in great need of skilled labor both in relation to the productive process and engineering, as well as in metrology, highlighting the interdisciplinary of the concepts studied in the technical or baccalaureate courses. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to perform a brief literature review of publications made using the value of uncertainty of measurement within the production process of foundries. The results show that there is a potential research in the field, to which it relates the values of measurement uncertainty and fused components. http://dx.doi.org/10.18226/23185279.v9iss2p01

Objectives. To determine mortality risk among those recently released from a Minnesota jail or prison. Methods. Using linked prison, jail, and death records, our retrospective cohort study followed 99 065 people who were released from Minnesota jails and prisons between March 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021. We explored differences between jail and prison exposures regarding mortality using standardized mortality ratios. Results. Adjusting for age and gender, we estimated that the rate of overdose death for people released from jail was 15.5 times that of the Minnesota general population. Overdose death rates for people released from prison were even higher at 28.3 times the rate of the Minnesota general population. Conclusions. Drug overdose was the leading cause of death for people reentering their communities from both jail and prison in Minnesota—with opioids being the leading cause of overdoses. Overdose death relative to the general population was double the estimates from earlier studies among people leaving prison. Providing seamless access to medications for opioid use disorder during and after incarceration is important to lower the risk of death following release.

The role of micro, small and medium enterprises is very important, because MSMEs are the largest part of the national economy and become public participation in various economic sectors. Problems in research refer to problems in people's lives, namely about improving welfare. Community welfare can be helped, one of which is with MSMEs, with the existence of MSMEs, it is possible to explore all the potential of SMEs owned, explore all economic potential, reduce poverty, and improve community welfare. So this study will discuss the role of these MSMEs in improving community welfare. In the study, the author uses qualitative approaches and types of research (field research), data collection techniques by means of interviews with existing informants such as owners and surrounding communities, observation, and documentation. The results of this study show that MSMEs CV Tas Rakyat in its role in improving the welfare of the community in Ngampel Village can absorb labor, providers of goods and services for the community, utilize regional economic resources, and advance the nation's self-image. This can have a positive impact on improving welfare which can be proven from the fulfillment of several indicators of community welfare from an Islamic economic perspective, including in terms of tawhid, fulfillment of consumption, and getting a sense of security and peace in their lives. However, in the process of improving community welfare, it will definitely be accompanied by existing constraints both from internal parties (in terms of capital, human resources, and business networks) and external parties (in terms of limited facilities and infrastructure, business climate, regional autonomy, and free trade).

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Heat, ultrasonication, acid hydrolysis, and integrated treatment were the various pretreatment techniques employed by different substrates. For the two distinct biomass, integrated pretreatment techniques were used, including heat with acid hydrolysis in sugarcane bagasse and heat with ultrasonication in dairy whey (DW). A batch experiment with microorganisms was conducted to produce biohydrogen from dairy whey and sugarcane bagasse using three different pretreatment techniques. The heat-treated DW had a maximum cumulative hydrogen production of 153.4 ± 2.0 mL H2/L, which is 20% more than that of the untreated biomass. After pretreatment, FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDAX were used to analyse the physicochemical changes in DW and SCB. Untreated and treated waste biomass were analyzed using FTIR spectroscopy to quantify their functional groups. According to EDX results, untreated SCB contains 30% Carbon, 13.71% Oxygen, and 0.50% Nitrogen. SCB was treated with acid using a hydrolysis time of 90mins at 121°C and H2SO4 concentration 2 M the highest cumulative H2 production of 189.6 ± 4.3 mL H2/L was obtained at 37℃ in co-culture. In the future, it may be possible to produce biomass biohydrogen that is both efficient and sustainable based on the findings of this study.
Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Breast: A Case Report
Authors: Hercules Jose 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare form of breast cancer accounting for 0.1%-1.0% of all mammary cancer malignancies. Breast cancer is characterized by an indolent clinical course and favorable prognosis, contrary to other breast cancers. Diagnostic mammogram and breast ultrasound play a pivotal role in the early detection and diagnosis of breast adenoid cystic carcinoma. Treatment may consist of lumpectomy and radiation therapy vs mastectomy alone. Although rare, late disease recurrence and metastasis have been reported in the literature; thus, long-term surveillance is of utmost importance for these patients. We will review the literature and discuss the case of a 52-year-old female who presented with a palpable lump of the right breast, which was pathologically proven to be adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) can present complex challenges for patients with acute brain injury (ABI) in middle income countries (MICs). We characterized the impact of country income level on weaning strategies and outcomes in neurocritical care patients.
METHODS: A secondary analysis was performed on a registry of neurocritical care patients admitted to 73 intensive care units (ICUs) in 18 countries from 2018-2020. Patients were classified as high (HIC) or middle income country (MIC). The primary outcome was ICU mortality. Secondary outcomes were days to first extubation, tracheostomy, extubation failure, ICU length of stay, and hospital mortality. Multivariable analyses were adjusted for clinically pre-selected covariates such as age, sex, body mass index, neurological severity, comorbidities, and ICU management. Extubation and tracheostomy outcomes were also adjusted for arterial blood gas values and extubation day ventilatory settings.
RESULTS: Of 1,512 patients (median age=54 years, 66% male), 1,170 (77%) were from HICs, and 342 (23%) were from MICs. Median age was significantly lower in MICs (35 (26-52) vs 58 (45-68) years in HICs). Neurosurgical procedures (47.7% vs 38.2%) and decompressive craniectomy (30.7% vs 15.9%) were more common in MICs, while intracranial pressure monitoring (12.0% vs 51.5%) and external ventricular drain (7.6% vs 35.6%) were less common. Compared to HICs, patients from MICs had 2.27 times the odds of ICU mortality (p=0.009, 95% CI=1.22, 4.21). Frequency of extubation failure was lower in MICs but not significant after adjustment. Patients from MICs had 3.38 times the odds of tracheostomy (p=<0.001, 95%CI=2.28-5.01), 5.59 days shorter mean ICU stay (p<0.001, 95%CI=-7.82, -3.36), and 1.96 times the odds of hospital mortality (p=0.011, 95%CI=1.17, 3.30).
CONCLUSIONS: In an international registry of patients with ABI requiring IMV, MICs had higher odds of ICU mortality, tracheostomy, and hospital mortality compared to HICS, likely due to differences in neurocritical care resources and decision-making.
Implementation of an evidence-based multidisciplinary post-operative lower extremity amputation protocol (LEAP): barriers and facilitators
Authors: Beckley Akin Akitola , Wong Christopher Kevin 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background: Implementing evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) requiring multidisciplinary efforts for relatively small clinical populations such as people undergoing lower extremity amputations, may present special challenges. People with chronic vascular diseases face wound healing and mobilization challenges that delay rehabilitation and hospital discharge. Lower extremity amputation protocols (LEAP) including postoperative limb dressings and early mobilization improve healing, functional outcomes, and reduce hospital lengths-of-stay—but require multidisciplinary coordination. The purpose of this study was to identify barriers and facilitators to implementing a multidisciplinary evidence-based LEAP for postoperative rehabilitation after amputation.
Methods: This cross-sectional organization and provider-level study included a convenience sample of 238 multidisciplinary professionals from an urban medical center. An anonymous survey, developed using the Theoretical Domains Framework, explored barriers and facilitators in the knowledge, clinical skills, and personal/contextual domains. Analysis was descriptive with barriers rank ordered.
Results: Clinicians responded from medicine (17.3%), nursing (16.0%), prosthetics (5.8%), physical therapy (36.0%), occupational therapy (24.0%), and recreational therapy (0.9%). Self-rated knowledge was low: 93.3% were unfamiliar with amputation rehabilitation CPGs and 60.9% were unfamiliar with problems delaying hospital discharge. Self-rated clinical competence was low corresponding to minimal reported experience with post-amputation limb wrapping or early mobilization. Potential barriers included unfamiliarity with the evidence, limited clinical training and confidence, insufficient patients, and inadequate interdisciplinary communication and coordination. Facilitators included clinician readiness to change and knowledge of early mobilization evidence.
Conclusions: Identifying barriers and facilitators led to provider and organization-level recommendations organized using the behavior change wheel to consider the capability, opportunity, and motivation domain functions. An automated multidisciplinary referral system with standard order set emerged as a proximal strategy to potentially affect all three domains and multiple implementation mechanisms while leveraging clinician attitude may provide a path towards LEAP implementation.
Comparison of four light-response models using relative curvature measures of nonlinearity
Authors: Wang Lin , He Ke , Ratkowsky David A. , Shi Peijian 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Photosynthetic light response curves serve as powerful mathematical tools for quantitatively describing the rate of photosynthesis of plants in response to changes in irradiance. However, in practical applications, the daunting task of selecting an appropriate nonlinear model to accurately fit these curves persists as a significant challenge. Thus, there arises a need for a method to systematically evaluate the efficacy of such models. In the present study, four distinct nonlinear models, namely Exponential Model (EM), Rectangular Hyperbola Model (RHM), Nonrectangular Hyperbola Model (NHM), and Modified Rectangular Hyperbola Model (MRHM), were used to fit the relationship between light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis across 42 empirical datasets. The goodness of fit for each model was assessed using the root-mean-square error, and relative curvature measures of nonlinearity were employed to assess the nonlinear behavior of the models. In terms of goodness of fit, pairwise difference tests of the root-mean-square error revealed that there was little to choose among the four models, although RHM gave a marginally poorer fit. However, in terms of nonlinear behavior, EM not only provided the most favorable linear approximation performance at the global level, but also exhibited the best close-to-linear behavior at the individual parameter level among the four models across the 42 datasets. Consequently, the results strongly advocate for EM as the most suitable mathematical framework for fitting photosynthetic light response curves. These findings provide insights into the model assessment for nonlinear regression in describing the relationship between the photosynthetic rate and light intensity.

Abstract

Adoptive T-cell immunotherapy holds great promise for the treatment of viral complications in immunocompromised patients resistant to standard anti-viral strategies. We present a retrospective analysis of 75 patients from 15 hospitals across Australia and New Zealand, treated over the last 15 years with “off-the-shelf” allogeneic T-cells directed to a combination of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), BK polyomavirus (BKV), John Cunningham virus (JCV) and/or adenovirus (AdV) under the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration’s Special Access Scheme. Most patients had severe post-transplant viral complications, including drug-resistant end-organ CMV disease, BKV-associated haemorrhagic cystitis and EBV-driven post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. Adoptive immunotherapy was well tolerated with few adverse effects. Importantly, 50/75 (66.7%) patients showed definitive clinical improvement including reduction in viral load, clinical symptoms, complete resolution of end-organ disease and remained disease free. Based on this long-term encouraging clinical experience, we propose that a dedicated nationally funded centre for anti-viral cellular therapies should be established to provide T cell therapies for critically ill patients for compassionate use.
Effect of the Oral Care Intervention Protocol (OCIP) on the Oral Health Scores of Head and Neck Cancer Patients Receiving Radiation/Chemoradiation

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background
Head and neck cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy may experience a notable and frequently sudden decline in their oral health. These alterations include oral mucositis that develops during and shortly after treatment, candida infections, trouble speaking, difficulty eating, bleeding gums, and tissue fibrosis.
Materials and Methods
The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of oral care protocol intervention on oral health and oral complications. These patients were observed every week for up to 6 weeks until the completion of radiation therapy/chemoradiation. An experimental design using a Randomized Controlled Trial was adopted for the study. After obtaining the informed consent, the data were collected from 80 head and neck cancer patients.
Results
The majority, i.e., 51.2%, were in the experimental group, and 52.5% were in the age group of 56 years and above. Most patients were males, 92.5% in the experimental group and 87.5% in the control group. A maximum number of the patients, i.e., 42.5% in the experimental group and 32.5% in the control group, were diagnosed to have tongue cancer. Regarding the treatment details of the participants, most of the participants, i.e., 57.5% in the experimental group and 67.5% in the control group, received chemoradiation as the treatment plan. Among all the oral complications, the median days to develop mucositis (p = .015), taste loss (p = .028), swallowing difficulty (p = .004), infection (p = .017), xerostomia (p = .004) and bleeding gums (p = .025) were statistically significant in comparison with control, indicating that the intervention was effective. As treatment progressed, the severity of these structural changes and functional activities increased in both groups. Over the weeks, the severity of the oral problems increased in both groups (p < .001).
Conclusion
Compared to the standard of oral care, oral care intervention improved oral health among cancer patients receiving radiation therapy/chemoradiation. The findings of this study can also contribute to justifying the evidence for using an oral care protocol for head and neck cancer patients.
