Deficiencia de hierro y anemia en tercer trimestre
Authors: Bermudez Salas Kenneth , Córdoba-Vives Sofía , Leal-Mateos Manrique 
Published: September 2023

Introducción: La anemia es endémica alrededor del mundo, siendo un problema de salud pública con importantes consecuencias socioeconómicas. Costa Rica se encuentra entre los países con menor prevalencia de anemia en mujeres de edad fértil de la región, sin embargo, no cuenta con estadística asociada al embarazo donde es reconocido que el riesgo de deficiencia de hierro y anemia por deficiencia de hierro aumentan conforme avanza la gestación. Nuestra institución no cuenta con un programa de tamizaje universal que asegure la adecuada captación y tratamiento de pacientes con déficit de hierro y anemia por deficiencia de hierro, por lo que se considera un problema común y subestimado.
Metodología: El presente estudio observacional descriptivo-retrospectivo de tipo exploratorio analiza la población obstétrica con deficiencia de hierro y anemia por deficiencia de hierro durante el tercer trimestre de embarazo con el fin de identificar grupos epidemiológicamente vulnerables, estimar la prevalencia de deficiencia de hierro y anemia por deficiencia de hierro, las medidas terapéuticas tomadas durante el embarazo y su evolución clínica.

Resultados: Se estudiaron un total de 153 pacientes mediante un muestreo continuo no probabilístico a partir de datos tomados de la consulta prenatal de alto riesgo de pacientes con el antecedente de deficiencia de hierro y/o anemia por deficiencia de hierro documentada durante el tercer trimestre de embarazo del 1 de enero 2018 al 31 de octubre 2021 en el Hospital Dr. Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia, acorde a los criterios de inclusión y exclusión establecidos.

Conclusiones: Se demostró una alta prevalencia de déficit de hierro y anemia ferropénica en la población analizada, tendencia a mayor riesgo de hemorragia posparto, transfusión e histerectomía, una disminución estadísticamente significativa del peso fetal, y una tendencia no significativa a presentar prematuridad y necesidad de reanimación neonatal en recién nacidos de madres con anemia ferropénica. Si bien no se demostró una relación causal entre la anemia ferropénica y la prematuridad, los resultados de este estudio coinciden con lo observado en investigaciones similares.
Sobre el método científico
Authors: Reyes Osvaldo 
Published: September 2023

Se conoce como Método Científico a la secuencia de pasos que se deben seguir para obtener un conocimiento que sea válido desde la perspectiva de las ciencias. Este método, que rige la forma como hacemos investigaciones, se apoya sobre dos grandes pilares: la reproducibilidad y la refutabilidad.
La reproducibilidad implica que un determinado experimento debe ser capaz de ser reproducido por cualquier persona en cualquier lugar, aunque no necesariamente obteniendo los mismos resultados. Es por esto por lo que insistimos en que las conclusiones alcanzadas por un determinado investigador no pueden ni deben ser tomadas como ley absoluta, ya que las estadísticas nos dicen que dicho resultado puede ser fruto del azar y que solo repitiendo el mismo podemos estar seguros de la veracidad de las conclusiones alcanzadas. Uno de los mayores errores cometidos por los investigadores modernos es perseguir la primicia de un hallazgo y querer ser los primeros en decir o encontrar algo, lo que no es más que un intento de satisfacer el ego. Es igual de importante repetir los estudios ejecutados por otras personas y ver si se obtienen los mismos resultados en idénticas circunstancias. Son estas evaluaciones subsecuentes las que dan valor a los resultados de una investigación y las que nos permiten establecer la utilidad de aplicarlos de manera global en la población general.
First record of Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann, 1910 (Hemiptera, Coreidae) in the Canary Islands, a novel pine pest detected through citizen science in an oceanic archipelago

Published: September 2023

The 'western seed bug', known as Leptoglossus occidentalis, is considered a global invasive species that has experienced a recent rapid expansion worldwide, becoming an important pest species for coniferous forests.
With the 'Canary Islands early-warning network for the detection and intervention of invasive exotic species' (RedEXOS), this species was detected for the first time in the Canarian rchipelago in an urban area in the eastern part of the sland of Gran Canaria. This early detection is crucial for understanding the potential damage in one of the islands with the highest surface area of natural endemic pine forest.
Documenting Biodiversity in Underrepresented Languages using Crowdsourcing
Authors: Fuseini Mohammed Kamal-Deen , Abah Agnes , Waagmeester Andra 
Published: September 2023

Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth, and it is essential for our planet's health and well-being. Language is also a powerful medium for documenting and preserving cultural heritage, including knowledge about biodiversity. However, many indigenous and underrepresented languages are at risk of disappearing, taking with them valuable information about local ecosystems. Also, many species are at risk of extinction, and much of our knowledge about biodiversity is in underrepresented languages. (Cardoso et al. 2019). This can make it challenging to document and protect biodiversity, as well as to share this knowledge with others.
Crowdsourcing is a way to collect information from a large number of people, and it can be a valuable tool for documenting biodiversity in underrepresented languages. By crowdsourcing, leveraging the iNaturalist platform, and volunteer contributors in the open movement including the Dagbani*1 and Igbo*2 Wikimedian communities, we can reach people who have knowledge about local biodiversity, but who may not have been able to share this knowledge before. For instance, the Dagbani and Igbo Wikimedia contributors did not have enough content on biodiversity data until they received education about the need. This can help us to fill in the gaps in our knowledge about biodiversity, and to protect species that are at risk of extinction.
In this presentation, we will discuss the use of crowdsourcing to document biodiversity in underrepresented languages, the challenges and opportunities of using crowdsourcing for this purpose, and some examples of successful projects. We will also discuss the importance of sharing knowledge about biodiversity with others and share some ideas on how to do this.
We believe that crowdsourcing has the potential to be a powerful tool for documenting biodiversity in underrepresented languages. By working together, we can help protect our planet's biodiversity and ensure that this knowledge is available to future generations.
Re-admission and quality of life among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease after telemedicine video nursing consultation - a randomized study
Authors: Saleh Safaa , Skeie Svein , Grundt Heidi 
Published: September 2023

Background: Our previous study showed a reduced cumulative length of re-admission stays due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations during one year after telemedicine video consultation (TVC). The current study evaluated the effects of TVC on the length of re-admission stays within 12 months follow up post-TVC compared to phone call follow up or COPD usual care in a randomized study. Our secondary aim was to assess the impact of TVC on the frequency of re-admissions within 12 months of follow up. Patient satisfaction, hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) and COPD assessment test (CAT) scores were also evaluated. Methods: The study was a prospective randomized study of COPD patients who after hospital discharge for acute COPD exacerbations, were randomized to monitoring by TVC at home compared to phone call follow up for two weeks by a specialist nurse at the hospital or usual COPD care. Prospectively, we compared the cumulative durations and frequencies of hospital re-admissions due to COPD exacerbations within 12 months follow up after TVC, phone call follow up or usual COPD care.Results: Among 173 COPD patients followed for 12 months, 99 were re-admitted. The median cumulative length of readmission stays per patient within 12 months post-TVC did not differ from those followed by phone calls or with usual COPD care. The number of patients re-admitted and the number of re-admissions due to COPD exacerbations were also equal in the three groups. Patient satisfaction was high among those followed by TVC and phone calls, and the HADS and CAT scores favorably declined from baseline to post-intervention in patients followed by TVC and phone calls. Conclusions: The study could not demonstrate a beneficial effect of TVC on the cumulative length of re-admission stays or on the number of re-admissions within 12 months following an acute COPD hospital stay, as compared to those followed by phone calls or with usual COPD care. Patient satisfaction was high among those followed by TVC and phone calls, and the declines in HADS and CAT scores seem to be consequences of increased empowerment and competence for good self-care in COPD patients, remaining through the one-year observation period.

Published: September 2023

Abstract

Objective:
This study aimed to identify caregiver burden (CB) and contributing factors to CB for Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients under Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) treatment, and investigation the factors, affecting the caregivers’ quality of life (QoL).

Methods:
Twenty-four PD patients under STN-DBS treatment and their caregivers participated in this study. Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) was applied for the clinical assessment of the patients. Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Minnesota Impulse Control Disorders Interview (MIDI) were used to screen for neuropsychiatric symptoms of the patients. CB was evaluated with the Caregivers Burden Inventory (CBI) and the Burden Scale for Family Caregivers (BSFC-s). The health-related QoL of caregivers was assessed with the Short Form Survey-36 (SF-36).

Results:
Mean total CBI and BSFC-s scores of caregivers were 32.53 ± 19.71 and 11.66 ± 8.86, respectively. Nineteen caregivers defined moderate or severe caregiver burden according to BSFC-s. Both CBI and BSFC-s scores were significantly associated with UPDRS-part-1 scores, but not with the age and gender of both the patients and their caregivers, disease duration, PDQ39, BDI, HADS, LARS scores, and scores of patients for other UPDRS parts. The presence of impulse control behaviors (ICBs) significantly increased the total CBI score and total BSFC-s (P < 0.01). The caregivers’ total and all domain scores of SF-36 were significantly affected by higher CBI and BSFC-s scores.

Conclusions:
The CB of the patients under STN-DBS treatment was severe. Non-motor symptoms, particularly impulsivity, significantly increased CB and worsened the caregivers’ mental and physical health.

Abstract

Background:
During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Healthcare workers (HCWs) have been at the frontline of the healthcare and have reported higher risk of infection along with higher stress levels. This study aims to understand the association of the stress and trauma related symptoms in HCWs in relation to the COVID 19 exposure.

Methods:
A prospective follow up study was conducted in HCWs working at two obstetric centers in India from July to August 2020. HCWs who had been exposed to COVID 19 patients were assessed for stress and trauma related symptoms before the RTPCR test and once after the RTPCR test results were out. The Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), Perceived Stress scale (PSS) and Impact of Event Scale – Revised (IES-R) were used to assess the stress and trauma related symptoms in HCWs.

Results:
A total of 151 HCWs participated in the study. 120 (79.4%) of the participants were female. 95 out of the 151 (62.5%) participants belonged to the 20-40 years age group. There was a significant reduction in stress related scores of HCWs in both SRQ-20 and PSS after the RTPCR results.

Conclusion:
There is increased psychological distress in HCWs after exposure to COVID infection, which significantly decreases once their COVID test is done. This indicates that the fear of infection itself is a stressful and traumatic process affecting the HCWs. The results highlight the importance of screening HCWs for stress related symptoms after exposure. Providing immediate psychological support to the HCWs will improve mental status and working capacity at the earliest.
Double Trouble: A Case of Ictal Bradycardia Syndrome Complicating Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Authors: Harikrishna Ganaraja Valakunja , Bhat Vivek , Kodapala Suresha 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Ictal bradycardia (IB) is an uncommon and serious extraneural manifestation of epilepsy. We describe the case of a patient with temporal lobe epilepsy, who, despite appropriate antiepileptics, developed status epilepticus with pharmacologically refractory bradycardia. Electrocardiogram showed features of a complete heart block with the right bundle branch block and escape rhythms. A temporary pacemaker was inserted, in addition to antiepileptics for seizure control. He maintained intrinsic heart rhythm, and since discharge, has not suffered further seizures. IB probably result from massive parasympathetic discharge from the insula and limbic system. It occurs in <1% of seizures, usually in temporal lobe epilepsy, regardless of the presence of structural cardiac anomalies. Longer duration arrhythmias can cause asystole and syncope and could be fatal. Our report highlights the role of central autonomic centers in severe bradycardia, and adds to the body of the literature regarding this rare phenomenon.

Authors: Dara Chennakesavulu , Darivemula Surendra Babu , Sandepogu Triven Sagar , Saranya M. , Vijayalakshmi N. , Swetha S. 
Published: September 2023

Introduction:
Nosocomial infections are infections; patients acquire while admitted to a health-care facility and generally develop 48 h or later after admission. These infections can lead to serious problems such as sepsis and even death.

Materials and Methods:
A prospective observational study was conducted for 6 months to estimate the incidence of nosocomial infections acquired in the medical intensive care unit (MICU), their risk factors, the causative pathogens, and the outcome. The patients admitted for more than 48 h to the MICU and willing to give consent were included in the study. Of 496 patients in MICU, 216 patients stayed 48 h and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score during the first 24 h of admission to the MICU.

Results:
The incidence of nosocomial infections in MICU was 14.9% (32 out of 216). Age, APACHE II score >13, MICU stay >7 days, and comorbidities such as peripheral venous line, central venous catheter, duration of urinary catheterization, duration of endotracheal intubation, nasogastric tube, and mechanical ventilator of >7 days were found to be independent risk factors of acquiring nosocomial infections (P < 0.05). Important causative organisms for nosocomial infections were Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 18 patients (32.72%), Escherichia coli in 11 (20.0%), Acinetobacter species in 8 (14.54%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae in seven patients (12.72%). Mortality among patients with nosocomial infections was 25% (8/32) and among those without nosocomial infections was 6.5% (12/184), P = 0.002. The length of ICU stay was higher in patients with nosocomial infections (15.42 ± 6.93 days) than in those without nosocomial infections (6.7 ± 5.14 days), P < 0.001.

Conclusion:
Nosocomial infections are common in ICU settings and contribute to significant mortality and morbidity. Infection control strategies are necessary to reduce nosocomial infection rates as well as ICU mortality and morbidity.
Quality and pattern of sleep and preexamination substance abuse-impact on academic performance in medical students
Authors: Mukherjee Sagnik , Krishna V. Murali , Tialam Gautham 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Ambiguity persists regarding the role of chronotype, sleeping patterns, and afternoon naps on academic performance. Very little work has been done on the preexamination severity of insomnia leading to consequent substance abuse, which might further cause a decline in sleep quality, creating a vicious cycle.

Aims:
The aim of our study is to correlate the academic performance of medical students with the severity of preexamination insomnia and substance abuse and their general sleep quality and patterns.

Methods:
This is an observational and descriptive study with prospective longitudinal design. A semi-structured questionnaire, which included several scales pertaining to sleep quality and chronotype, was used to assess the relevant parameters among 710 medical students across several medical colleges of India just before their examinations. They were followed up after 1 month and then after 3 months to assess their academic performance and chronicity of insomnia according to Athens Insomnia Scale. Several statistical tests were conducted between the various dependent variables, and finally, linear logistic multivariate regression analysis was done between the predictors, variables, and the outcome.

Results:
About 78.6% of students were found to be having generalized poor quality of sleep, while 30.8% were found to be suffering from moderate–severe clinical insomnia before their examination. About 30.4% of the students claimed to be using stimulants while 10.7% claimed to be using some sort of depressant before their examination.

Conclusion:
Significant correlation was found between preexamination insomnia and substance abuse. No significant correlation was found between our predictor variables and academic outcome. Those with higher degrees of insomnia before examination were found to have a statistically significant chance of developing chronic insomnia.
