Published: April 2024

IntroductionBody mass composition is directly related to health and its disorders are correlated with diseases such as obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis and sarcopenia. The purpose of this study was to analyze body mass composition among traditional elementary school students and ballet school students.MethodsA total of 340 students participated in the study, 95 of whom attended ballet school and 245 elementary school students. A Tanita BC-418 MA analyzer was used to analyze body mass composition. Such body composition indices as BMI (Body Mass Index), muscle mass, fat mass, lean body mass and water content were evaluated.ResultsThe results show statistical significance for BMI between high school ballet students and elementary school ballet students, as well between high school ballet students and elementary school students. Comparisons in relation to gender and schools BMI, statistical significance was obtained for: BHSw (ballet high school women) and EBSw (elementary ballet school women), BHSw and ESw (elementary school women), BHSm (ballet high school men) and EBSm (elementary ballet school men), and between BHSm and ESw. Comparing muscle mass index (kg) between ballet high school and elementary school, between ballet high school and elementary school, and between ballet high school and elementary school - statistical significance was obtained for all comparisons. Analyzing in pairwise comparisons by gender and school achieved a statistically significant difference for: BHSw and EBSw, BHSm and EBSw, EBSw and ESm. Comparing the fat mass index (kg), no significant differences were observed between the analyzed schools and the school and gender of the children studied. The value of the lean body mass index differed significantly between groups by school and gender. Comparing the water content index, statistically significant differences were obtained for school and gender.DiscussionThe body mass composition of ballet school students differs from that of standard school students.

Published: April 2024

BackgroundWidowhood is one of the most serious issues affecting the mental health of older persons. China currently has tens of millions of widowed older adult, which is a huge group. It is of great significance to study the impacts of widowhood on their mental health and put forward some measures for improvement.MethodWe used China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data in 2020, which included 4,184 older adults. Linear regression is used to examine the relationship among widowhood, mental health, and social capital.ResultsBoth short-term and medium- and long-term widowhood lead to a significant increase in depression, which seriously affects the mental health of older people. At the same time, community-level and family-level social capital have significant buffering effects on the loss of mental health caused by widowhood, but this effect is heterogeneous, with different types of social capital playing different roles among different gender groups.ConclusionThe provision of care support by children and good neighborhood relationships can help mitigate the psychological impact of widowhood, and these are areas where social policy can make a difference.

Introduction:Musculoskeletal disorders could be associated with metabolic disorders that are common after kidney transplantation, which could reduce the quality of life of patients. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of both musculoskeletal and metabolic disorders in kidney transplant patients.Methods:MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and Web of Science were searched from their inception up to June 2023. DerSimonian and Laird random-effects method was used to calculate pooled prevalence estimates and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Results:21,879 kidney transplant recipients from 38 studies were analysed. The overall proportion of kidney transplant patients with musculoskeletal disorders was 27.2% (95% CI: 18.4–36.0), with low muscle strength (64.5%; 95% CI: 43.1–81.3) being the most common disorder. Otherwise, the overall proportion of kidney transplant patients with metabolic disorders was 37.6% (95% CI: 21.9–53.2), with hypovitaminosis D (81.8%; 95% CI: 67.2–90.8) being the most prevalent disorder.Conclusion:The most common musculoskeletal disorders were low muscle strength, femoral osteopenia, and low muscle mass. Hypovitaminosis D, hyperparathyroidism, and hyperuricemia were also the most common metabolic disorders. These disorders could be associated with poorer quality of life in kidney transplant recipients.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier [CRD42023449171].

Relevance. Congenital and systemic diseases can lead to developmental errors in the enamel organ, resulting in anomalies such as enamel hypoplasia. The high prevalence of these defects illustrates the vulnerability of teeth to changes in the intrauterine and postnatal environments. Enamel hypoplasia contributes to the development of caries and tooth wear by making enamel thinner, more retentive to dental plaque, and less resistant to acid degradation compared to normal enamel. Surfaces of the affected hard tissues are smooth and exhibit a symmetric distribution pattern. The occurrence of enamel hypoplasia in children is a significant factor in the development of caries; thus, they require comprehensive treatment and ongoing preventive care by a pediatric dentist.Purpose. To analyze the impact of factors contributing to the development of deciduous teeth hypoplasia in children, on the frequency of this condition and the specifics of its treatment by a pediatric dentist.Materials and Methods. The study involved the examination and treatment of children aged 4-12 at the Dental and Implantology Department of Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University over a 12-month period. Out of 972 children, 67 were diagnosed with systemic enamel hypoplasia. A questionnaire was developed for statistical research, and data were processed using Statistica 7.0 software Statistica 7.0 (StatSoft, США).Results. The survey revealed chronic diseases in 16.42% of mothers. During pregnancy, 68.6% of the mothers visited a dentist once, and 31.3% visited two to three times. Most mothers experienced early pregnancy toxemia—67% in the first half and 58.2% in the second half of the pregnancy. Additionally, 50.7% suffered from acute respiratory viral infections and influenza, and 25.4% had gastrointestinal diseases. Feeding practices involved breastfeeding in 68.7% of cases and artificial feeding in 31.3% (up to 3 months – 16.4%, up to 1 year – 64.1%, up to 2 years – 19.4%). Examination of the oral cavity in 67 children with systemic hypoplasia revealed a spotted form in 79.1% of cases and a purely destructive form in 20.9% of cases. Contemporary conservative dentistry emphasizes minimally invasive approaches to the treatment of such dental defects.Conclusion. The study of deciduous tooth hypoplasia in children highlighted the importance of the health status of the expectant mother and timely sanitation of the oral cavity. Particular attention should be paid to maternal infectious diseases, specifically influenza and ARVI. The findings underscore the need for preventive measures against temporary tooth hypoplasia from the onset of pregnancy planning to enhance the dental well-being of children.

A colecistopatia calculosa é uma patologia gastrointestinal que provoca bastante admissão hospitalar, afetando até 20% da população brasileira. Tem-se a colecistite, que, por definição, é a inflamação vesícula biliar, ocorrendo em 95% dos casos como consequência de litíase biliar e em 5% é decorrente de causas menos frequentes, chamadas de colecistites agudas alitiásicas. Há poucos artigos que analisam o panorama de internações por colelitíase e colecistite no Brasil. Os poucos estudos existentes, possuem restrições significativas, dessa forma, o presente estudo tem como objetivo trazer uma análise do panorama das internações por colelitíase e colecistite nos últimos 05 anos nas regiões brasileiras. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico do tipo transversal. Os dados foram coletados por meio de consulta realizada no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) utilizando a lista de morbidades do CID 10 para colelitíase e colecistite, códigos K 80 e K 81, respectivamente em pacientes adultos acima de 15 anos, número de internações, sexo, faixa etária, número de colecistectomias videolaparoscópicas, dias de permanência e óbitos a partir das regiões de saúde brasileira no período de 2019 a 2023. A análise dos dados mostraram que o perfil epidemiológico de pacientes acometidos por colecistite e colelitíase na rede pública no Brasil é mais predominante no sexo feminino, na faixa etária entre 40 a 49 anos. Sendo a Região Sudeste que apresenta maior número de internações e de colecistectomias realizadas, e a região Norte aponta os menores índices. Identificou-se também um padrão a nível nacional em que os números referentes a 2020 e 2021 são menores que os de 2019, 2022 e 2023. O artigo tem como ponto forte a avaliação de todas as regiões brasileiras, trazendo a possibilidade de uma comparação mais ampla e de múltiplos aspectos que podem enriquecer futuros estudos.

A Melioidose é uma infecção bacteriana potencialmente letal, causada pelo bacilo gram negativo Burkholderia pseudomallei e endêmica em muitas regiões tropicais e subtropicais. Possui caráter emergente no Brasil, mas ainda é uma doença com pouco reconhecimento no ambiente de saúde. As apresentações clínicas da Melioidose variam desde quadros de bronquite, pneumonia bacterêmica aguda até abscessos viscerais e infecções localizadas, sendo o acometimento pulmonar mais frequentemente observado nos estudos. Em geral, possui semelhança clínica com outras infecções mais comuns na população, e achados nos exames de imagem compatíveis com pneumonia por outras etiologias. A transmissão ocorre por meio da inoculação através da pele, inalação ou ingestão da bactéria, sendo considerados com Melioidose aqueles que manifestam os sintomas da doença. Para obter confirmação diagnóstica, é necessário isolamento da Burkholderia pseudomallei em meio de cultura microbiológica e o manejo adequado varia desde cuidados de suporte até antibioticoterapia direcionada. Neste presente trabalho, relatamos o primeiro caso descrito de Melioidose no estado de Sergipe, no qual o paciente evoluiu rapidamente com desfecho clínico desfavorável. O diagnóstico comprovatório com presença do bacilo em meio de cultura só foi liberado após o óbito do paciente, o tratamento principal empregado foi antibioticoterapia com ceftriaxona, azitromicina e piperacilina junto ao tazobactam.

Published: April 2024

La globalización ha traído grandes transformaciones a la agricultura mexicana modernizándose y creando nuevos modos de producción, dando apertura a una demanda laboral cualificada. Los extensionistas en México han sido y serán uno de los actores más importantes en el sector rural. Sin embargo, los cambios institucionales en el sistema de extensionismo agropecuario en México han sido factores de gran transformación del mercado laboral de los extensionistas, causando la disolución del sistema de extensionismo nacional y la reducción de empleabilidad. En México desde la década de los 90´s se implementa el Sistema Nacional de Competencias con el propósito de reconocer las competencias laborales en alrededor de 25 sectores productivos, de los cuales 20 de ellos son específicamente productivos y 5 a sectores de los prestadores de servicios, con el fin de contribuir a mejorar la empleabilidad de las personas que certifican sus competencias laborales en algún Estándar de Competencia[1]. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar un análisis que permita identificar cómo la certificación de competencias laborales ha contribuido a mejorar las condiciones de empleabilidad de los extensionistas del sector rural en México.

Social factors associated to the multiple risk behaviors among high school students: A case study of Hanoi high school students, Vietnam
Authors: Huong Duong Thi Thu 
Published: April 2024

Background: Young people who engaged in different risk behaviors attracted concern nowadays. Noticeably, the concurrent multiple risk behaviors generate adverse effect to health and their future life.Aims: The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence of the concurrent multiple risk behaviors and to evaluate the association between social factors and the concurrent multiple risk behaviors among the high school students in Hanoi, Vietnam.Methods: A quantitative survey with a cross sectional design was applied involving a total of 1,333 Hanoi high school students. The survey was conducted in the end of 2016. The multivariate linear regression models were applied to examine the social factors associated with the concurrent multiple risk behaviors of Hanoi high school students. Eighteen different risk behaviors had been selected for constructing a composite variable of the total risk behaviors that students have engaged in.Results: On average, the high school students have been reported involving in 4.88 behaviors of the 18 selected observed risk behaviors. The multivariate linear regression models with demographic factors and different social connections of high school students could explain for about 37.6% of the difference in composite variable of the total risk behaviors. This present study reveals several factors that increase the number of risk behaviors the students may engage, including the connection to the family's members or friends, duration in social media, and the number of friends in the online network. In the contrast, strong family connection has been demonstrated to provide a "safe haven" for protecting the high school students from involving in increasing multiple different risk behaviors.Conclusion: The research findings strongly recommend early prevention strategies should be conducted among the high school students. The identified concurrent risk behaviors should be targeted as prevention actions rather than focusing on controlling individual risk behaviors. In addition, the involvement of their parents and friends are suggested to be the target audience together with students in concurrent risk behaviors controlling and preventing programs among the high school students and young generation.

Introduction: Currently nanotechnology has radically changed the diagnosis of many human pathologies. The aim of this work is to obtain silver nanoparticles for hybrid imaging (99mTc-AgNPs-ICG) having potential clinical imaging applications.
Materials and method: We mixed 2 ml of ascorbic acid (1.7x10-4 M), 5 mCi of 99mTcO4- , 2 ml of citric acid (8.0x10-4 M) and 0.5 ml of silver nitrate (2.5x10-3 M). Solution pH was 5, and it was shaken for 20 minutes at 37º C. Afterwards, 2 µL of Indocyanine Green (1.3x10-3 M) was added (99mTc-AgNPs-ICG). Physiochemical properties of the solution were characterized by UV (λ1 = 420 nm, λ2 = 254 nm) and gamma detector. Fluorescence image, particle size and IR spectrum were evaluated.
Results: Silver nanoparticles were obtained in aqueous solution a pH of 5. Their pH, color and spectrum were stable for seven days. Furthermore, the principal peak characterized by HPLC, UV and Gamma detector had similar retention times. Its UV spectrum showed an absorption band of 420 nm, which corresponds to the plasmon absorption band of these nanoparticles. The particle size was 46 nm ± 1.5 nm. The IR spectrum showed absorption bands in 3193, 2624, 1596 y 1212 cm-1.
Conclusions: We describe for the first time in literature the synthesis of hybrid (radioactive and fluorescent) silver nanoparticles. Their physiochemical properties were characterized, being stable and their labelling was reproducible having potential biomedical applications.
