Published: February 2023

Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia de un hidrogel compuesto con aloe vera, sorbitol, alantoína y glicerol, y estudiar clínicamente los niveles de interleucina 6 (IL-6) para el tratamiento de úlceras venosas (UV). Método: Se realizó un ensayo clínico no aleatorizado de un solo brazo en 10 sujetos. Cada sujeto fue tratado con el hidrogel durante ocho semanas. Tras completar el período de seguimiento, se realizó una evaluación final de las puntuaciones clínicas y moleculares de cada paciente, que se comparó con los datos iniciales. Resultados: Los pacientes tratados con el hidrogel presentaron una reducción media del área de la UV de -1,12 cm5 (±2,53), reducción media del volumen de -1,47 cm6 (±3,43) y valor medio de IL-6 perilesional de -1,81 pg/mL (±8,07). También, se encontró una reducción media de la puntuación de la gravedad clínica venosa (VCSSr) de -9,3 (±2,62) y de la puntuación del dolor en la escala visual analógica (VAS) de -5,5 (±2,22). Conclusión: La IL-6 es un indicador molecular útil para la vigilancia de la cicatrización de heridas. El tratamiento con un hidrogel a base de aloe vera, sorbitol y alantoína favorece la cicatrización de la herida, mejora la calidad de vida y reduce los niveles de dolor de la UV.

Objetivo: Identificar y describir la epidemiología de los desgarros de piel (DP) en el contexto latinoamericano. Método: Revisión bibliográfica de estudios epidemiológicos publicados entre 1946 y mayo de 2021, en inglés, español y portugués, consultados en texto completo. Para la búsqueda, se utilizaron descriptores correspondientes a la estrategia PCC: Población (adultos), Concepto (epidemiología de los DP) y Contexto (hospitalario e institucional). Los estudios fueron recuperados de las bases de datos Scielo, Lilacs, Embase, Cinahl, Medline y BDEnf, y evaluados por dos revisores independientes. Los instrumentos STROBE y Newcastle-Ottawa fueron usados para evaluar la calidad de estudios de prevalencia e incidencia, respectivamente. Resultados: En total, 21 publicaciones fueron incluidas (siete de ellas, de origen latinoamericano). La prevalencia, reportada en 16 estudios, estuvo entre 0,97 y 28,7%. La incidencia, reportada en cinco estudios, varió entre 3,8 y 40%. Los factores de riesgo asociados al desarrollo de DP fueron: historia previa de la lesión, puntajes bajos en la escala de Braden, dependencia para actividades básicas de la vida diaria, y edad avanzada. En América latina, Brasil se destaca como el país con mayor número de publicaciones (n=5; 23,8%). Conclusión: La mayoría de los DP pueden ser considerados eventos adversos evitables, por lo tanto, los valores de incidencia y prevalencia encontrados son elevados. La caracterización de la situación epidemiológica de los DP posibilita la creación de protocolos y políticas públicas para su prevención y detección precoz.

Authors: Rocha Matos Gabrielle Silveira , de Souza Andrade Ercília , de Gouveia Santos Vera L. Conceição , Nogueira Paula C. 
Published: February 2023

Objetivo: Investigar la prevalencia de la incontinencia urinaria (IU) y sus factores asociados en estudiantes universitarias del interior del estado brasileño del Amazonas. Método: Estudio transversal, observacional, analítico y cuantitativo. La muestra de conveniencia fue compuesta por 72 estudiantes universitarias de entre 18 y 30 años. Un cuestionario sobre datos sociodemográficos y de salud fue aplicado. La prevalencia y caracterización de las pérdidas urinarias fueron obtenidas por el International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), en su versión adaptada y validada para Brasil. Los datos fueron analizados por estadísticas descriptivas e inferenciales. Se emplearon las pruebas Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney, Chi-cuadrado de Pearson y Exacto de Fisher, además de regresión logística (intervalo de confianza: 95% p<0,05). Resultados: La prevalencia de IU fue de 36,11% (26/72 estudiantes), predominantemente (80,77%) de urgencia (IUU). La edad difirió (p=0,031) entre los grupos de mujeres continentes (promedio=22,72. Desviación estándar (DE)=2,93 años) e incontinentes (promedio=21,23. DE=2,72 años). La situación predominante de pérdida fue “antes de llegar al baño” (30,77%) y el impacto de la IU sobre las actividades diarias fue considerado bajo. En el modelo de regresión logística, la edad fue un factor asociado a la presencia de IU (odds ratio (0R)=0,68; p=0,006). Conclusión: La IUU fue prevalente en la muestra estudiada, con la menor edad como factor asociado. La IU en mujeres jóvenes necesita ser mejor investigada para identificar otros factores que puedan estar relacionados con la condición encontrada en el interior del Amazonas.

Published: February 2023

Microstructured polarization beam splitters (PBSs) have attracted much interest in
recent years. Here, a ring double-core photonic crystal fiber (PCB)
PSB (PCB-PSB) with an ultrashort, broadband, and high extinction ratio
(ER) was designed. The effects of the structural parameters on the
properties were analyzed by the finite element method, which revealed
that the optimal length of the PSB was 19.08877 µm and the ER
was −324.257dB. The operating bandwidth for an ER of
less than −20dB is 440 nm, and the wavelength
range spans the full E+S+C+L+U band between 1,320 and
1,760 nm. The fault and manufacturing tolerance of the PBS was
demonstrated for structural errors of ±1%. Moreover, the influence of
temperature on the performance of the PBS was determined and
discussed. Our results show that a PBS has excellent potential in
optical fiber sensing and optical fiber communications.
Atmospheric Distortion of Wideband Carbon Dioxide Laser Waveforms
Authors: Kachelmyer A. L. , Knowlden R. E. , Keicher W. E. 
Published: February 2023

The performance of wideband carbon dioxide laser waveforms is severely reduced by absorption and anomalous dispersion caused by atmospheric carbon dioxide. This paper deals with modeling and analyzing these atmospheric distortion effects.
The latest version of the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory (AFGL) FASCODE program is used to perform some CO2 laser line atmospheric transmittance calculations. Data from these transmittance calculations are then used to develop a two-way path model of the amplitude and phase distortion for a given transmit/receive path. The matched filter response to wideband signals is used to illustrate the net effect of this atmospheric absorption and dispersion. Results are presented which include the effect of relative motion (Doppler shift) between the transmitter and the receiver.

Published: February 2023

Background
The hospital environment, particularly the intensive care unit (ICU), contributes to the transmission of several nosocomial pathogens, which can survive in this setting for a longer period of time and, in turn, contaminate the surfaces or the medical tools. Thus, appropriate disinfection of these areas and devices are crucial for controlling and preventing further infection. In this study, we examined the effect of different concentrations of chlorine-containing disinfectants (500mg/L, 1000mg/L, and 2000mg/L) on the ICU environment.

Methods
This quasi-experimental study was based on a convenient sampling method. In this study, High-frequency objects were selected as subjects in ICU, with a total sample of 216.A hall including 6 beds was examined,selecting 4 high-frequency surfaces per bed unit:a bed gear, infusion system, bed end table, and monitor were disinfected with 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/L of chlorine (as Cl2), respectively.The surface dissection was performed at 21:00 o’clock daily, after which ATP fluorescence monitoring and bacterial count detection were performed.

Results
There was no significant difference in ATP bioluminescence (F = 2.03, P > 0.05) and bacterial counting (χ2 = 2.03, P > 0.05) when using different concentrations of chlorine-containing disinfectant in the ICU. Yet, compared with high concentration (2000mg/L), a low concentration disinfectant reduced the hospital cost.

Conclusion
By reducing the concentration of ICU high-frequency contact table disinfectants, it is possible to reduce the risk of long-term contamination with chlorine-containing disinfectants and reduce the cost of using ICU chlorine-containing disinfectants.

Matched design for marginal causal effect on restricted mean survival time in observational studies
Authors: Lin Zihan , Ni Ai , Lu Bo 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Investigating the causal relationship between exposure and time-to-event outcome is an important topic in biomedical research. Previous literature has discussed the potential issues of using hazard ratio (HR) as the marginal causal effect measure due to noncollapsibility. In this article, we advocate using restricted mean survival time (RMST) difference as a marginal causal effect measure, which is collapsible and has a simple interpretation as the difference of area under survival curves over a certain time horizon. To address both measured and unmeasured confounding, a matched design with sensitivity analysis is proposed. Matching is used to pair similar treated and untreated subjects together, which is generally more robust than outcome modeling due to potential misspecifications. Our propensity score matched RMST difference estimator is shown to be asymptotically unbiased, and the corresponding variance estimator is calculated by accounting for the correlation due to matching. Simulation studies also demonstrate that our method has adequate empirical performance and outperforms several competing methods used in practice. To assess the impact of unmeasured confounding, we develop a sensitivity analysis strategy by adapting the E-value approach to matched data. We apply the proposed method to the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC) to examine the causal effect of smoking on stroke-free survival.

Synthesis and physicochemical properties of sodium oleyl sulfate
Authors: Ren Xiaodan , Li Ping , Yang Xiaoyi , Guo Chaohua , Li Jianbo 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
In this paper, sodium oleyl sulphate (SOS) was successfully synthesised by reacting octyl alcohol (OA) with gaseous sulphur trioxide (SO3) as a sulphating reagent in a falling film reactor. The structure was determined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) spectroscopy. The dynamic adsorption and aggregation behaviour of SOS was systematically investigated to reveal the relationship between the structure and properties of SOS. The physicochemical properties of SOS were determined by measuring the equilibrium surface tension, dynamic surface tension and dynamic contact angle, respectively. A laser particle size analyser and a transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to analyse the aggregation behaviour of SOS. Compared to sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and sodium n-octadecyl sulphate (C18H37OSO3Na), which have a similar structure to SOS, the increase in hydrophobic chain size and tighter molecular packing enabled by the polar head conformation caused a decrease in CMC and an increase in surface activity. The efficiency of the surface activity was controlled by a mixed diffusion kinetic adsorption mechanism. Moreover, SOS in aqueous solution showed efficient wettability on the surface of the low-energy paraffin film at concentration above the CMC. In addition, SOS molecules can spontaneously form spheroidal aggregates with increasing concentration, and the size of the aggregates increased with the concentration.

Published: February 2023

Early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD) can reduce child mortality. The Sukoharjo district government trained birth attendants to practice of IMD. This qualitative study analyzed the practice of IMD in Sukoharjo. The theme of the results was: the practice of IMD in Sukoharjo seen from the Theory of Planned Behavior and Social Cognitive Theory. The categories found were: 1) There were several obstacles and support, 2) not all mothers had the intention to practice early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD), 3) in general, hospitals had not properly practiced IMD, 4) families did not obstruct IMD, 5) not all community health center implemented IMD according to standards, 6) not all birth attendants understood IMD correctly, 7) neighbors did not understand the importance of IMD, 8) not all mothers understood or asked for IMD before delivery, 9) birth attendants perceived that IMD was not burdensome, 10) health workers supported IMD, 11) there was government support, 12) mothers and birth attendants had good health expectations related to IMD, 13) the standard of IMD in Sukoharjo has been partially met. The conclusion is that the IMD in Sukoharjo was already underway but still needed a lot of improvement. When viewed from the TPB and SCT theory, some of the constructs were strong, but many of them were weak. Both of these theories can be used as a basis for interventions to improve the IMD.

The Exploration of Antimicrobial Consumption to Identify Targets for Quality Improvement in Indonesian Hospitals study showed that 97% of the use of empirical antibiotics was 81% empiric therapy, 12% medical prophylaxis, 4% surgical prophylaxis, and 16% without clear indications. The most common diagnoses are typhoid, pneumonia. and dengue fever. The Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme (ASP) Team supports the national program to reduce the use of irrational antibiotics. This study aims to analyse the ASP policy implementation on the use of antibiotics at the Royal Taruma Hospital. A secondary data on the use of Defined Daily Dose (DDD)/100 patient-days for the quarterly months of February, May, and August 2020. The 14 key informants' perceptions, opinions, thoughts are the primary data of qualitative research on the use of antibiotics during the ASP policy implementation. The three most antibiotics used were Ceftriaxone (64.7%), Levofloxacin (20.1%), and Meropenem (6.9%), which belong to the broad-spectrum antibiotic class. The total use of antibiotics was 1206.59 DDD/100 patient-days. The implementation of ASP policies has not been running optimally. It is necessary to formulate a pattern of germs and antimicrobial resistance, not only in the intensive room, but also in the care ward to achieve ASP quality indicators.
