Authors: Yasmin Sumaira , Zeb Laila , Mehmood Sumbal , Shaheen Uzma 
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Ectopic pregnancy is the commonest gynecological emergencies. If not treated timely, it places major morbidity upon future fertility and family. Ectopic pregnancy presents a major health problem for women of childbearing age. The increased incidence of ectopic pregnancy has been partially attributed to improved ability in making an earlier diagnosis. Anything that hampers the migration of the embryo to the endometrial cavity could predispose women to ectopic gestation. The most logical explanation for the increasing frequency of EPs is previous pelvic infection; however, most patients presenting with an EP have no identifiable risk factor.
Objective: To determine the frequency of fertility outcome (intrauterine pregnancy and extrauterine pregnancy) in patients having history of ectopic pregnancy.
Materials and Methods: A total of 92 patients having history of ectopic pregnancy were included in the study in a consecutive manner and assessed for fertility outcome in terms of extrauterine or intrauterine pregnancy. The study utilized descriptive cross sectional study design. The study settings was department of gynecology, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar. The study duration was from 1st January 2019 to 31st December 2020.
Results: The mean age of the sample was 30.3 + 6.1 years. The mean parity of the sample was 2.1 + 1.5, mean BMI was 26.4 + 3.5kg/m2 and mean gestational age at presentation was 6.7 + 2.1 weeks. With regards to fertility outcome, 39.1% women had extrauterine pregnancy and 60.9% had intrauterine pregnancy. Extrauterine pregnancy though less than intrauterine is still a significant problem in the study’s population with previous history of ectopic pregnancy.
Recommendation: The study recommend more research projects particularly interventional studies for proper management of ectopic pregnancy and reduce the burden of extrauterine pregnancies so that even with history of ectopic pregnancy, term delivery can be assured.

Published: April 2022

This study presents a conceptual framework for determining the effects of Market Orientation, Entrepreneurial Orientation, and Information Technology on the performance of small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) in Nigeria. The resource-based value theory was used to explain the elements affecting SMEs' performance. Furthermore, this study’s conceptual framework is based on the data derived from a newly constructed questionnaire. 130 copies of the questionnaires were distributed to the CEO / director and managers of SME organisations in Ogun State, Nigeria. Out of the 210 questionnaires, half or 105 were returned and analysed. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to analyse the empirical data. It was found that the performance of SMEs organizations is significantly influenced by two factors, market orientation and entrepreneurial orientation, while there is no significant relationship between information technology and SME performance. This study provides valuable input for SMEs organisations by helping them to strategise future operational plan in various industries, including the education sector. The main limitation of this study is that has a limited sample size, and it did not include external performance indicators outside of procurement. As these indicators could provide additional insight into the success of SMEs, future research could consider including them as variables.

Published: April 2022

Este artículo es resultado de una investigación cualitativa con base en la sistematización de experiencias, realizado entre los años 2020 y 2021 en una relevante organización del sector de alimentos en Latinoamérica. Se centra en analizar la contribución del Giro de la Práctica para explorar el “conocer” en dos intraemprendimientos de Grupo Nutresa.
Bajo este contexto, se analizó la dinámica del conocer como práctica, postura que resalta el papel esencial del conocimiento como un acto humano que permite hacer y lograr objetivos dentro de un ambiente organizacional (Orlikowski, 2002); al igual que el rol del liderazgo dentro de los intraemprendimientos. Desde el enfoque cualitativo y utilizando la sistematización de experiencias con la técnica del Storytelling, se logró evidenciar que los intraemprendimientos son equipos que funcionan como sistemas abiertos con el liderazgo como eje articulador de elementos tales como el conocimiento experto, la materialidad y la identidad compartida.

Published: April 2022

Resumo: O objetivo dessa pesquisa consiste em analisar as origens, características e principais concepções que possibilitem a interdisciplinaridade entre os campos da Ciência da Informação e da Ciência da Administração. A pesquisa tem abordagem qualitativa, que se caracteriza como um estudo de revisão bibliográfica desenvolvido a partir da busca sistematizada. A rigor, foi possível identificar as origens históricas e concepções teórico-filosóficas básicas em comum. Evidencia-se que a natureza interdisciplinar entre os dois campos ocorre por um processo de troca de saberes e de interação mutua. Conclui-se que Ambos os campos apresentam aproximações claras, com relação interdisciplinar baseada na “informação”, no entanto, quando se trata da aplicação prática, não há consenso na literatura que essa interdisciplinaridade seja completa.

Eficacia terapéutica y seguridad del tocilizumab en COVID-19. Revisión narrativa
Authors: Di Líbero Eugenia , Osuna Carolina , Gañete Marcelo 
Published: April 2022

A la fecha, excepto los glucocorticoides, ningún otro tratamiento farmacológico ha demostrado disminución de la mortalidad en pacientes con COVID-19 severo-crítico. Con el objetivo de discutir su utilidad en la terapéutica, se realizó una revisión y lectura crítica de los estudios publicados más significativos sobre el uso de tocilizumab.
Se realizó una búsqueda en las principales bases de datos bibliográficas priorizando la inclusión de revisiones sistemáticas y ensayos clínicos randomizados controlados (ERCs); que analizaran el efecto del tocilizumab en COVID-19 en diferentes puntos de valoración.
Se incluyeron 5 ERCs y 4 meta-análisis en la evaluación, todos ellos incluyeron pacientes con COVID-19 confirmado y mayoritariamente severos-críticos. El punto de valoración principal (PVP) fue la mortalidad a los 28 días y como resultado secundario de relevancia, la progresión a ventilación mecánica invasiva (VMI); se analizó además, la seguridad de la intervención, fundamentalmente a nivel de la ocurrencia de infecciones secundarias.
Del análisis surge que la mayor posibilidad de beneficio parece estar circunscripta a pacientes con enfermedad severa-crítica, que reciben corticoides, con marcadores de inflamación elevados (PCR >10 mg/dL) y enfermedad rápidamente progresiva. Existe alto grado de certeza respecto del impacto del tocilizumab en evitar la progresión a VMI, con una pequeña magnitud del efecto y moderado grado de certeza respecto de su impacto en la mortalidad; además de que resultó una medicación segura.
