Caixas; nossos insumos / Boxes; our inputs
Authors: Fampa Gabriel 
Published: September 2022

Caixas; nossos insumos é uma crônica literária redigida em diálogo com uma experiência artística intitulada Caixas, que realizo e registro em 2020. O texto é uma narrativa ficcional de natureza autobiográfica e informal em que um personagem com tendências hipocondríacas relata sua vivência com as dores e preocupações que sente em relação ao próprio corpo. O corpo, então, está no foco da escrita e mostra-se incerto de sua estrutura, débil em seu funcionamento e assustado com sua vulnerabilidade. O diálogo entre texto e a obra Caixas ocorre no uso de palavras-chave ao longo da narrativa. Na obra fotografada, 50 líquidos foram despejados em caixas de papelão, de modo a deixar que elas absorvessem essas substâncias, desmanchando-se como consequência. Cada líquido citado despojadamente no texto é um dos que foram despejados nas caixas, entre os quais constam, por exemplo, vitamina D3 líquida, água do Atlântico, estalactite de uma garagem, cachaça, gasolina comum, óleo e analgésicos em gotas. Em meio a outras motivações, procuro no trabalho um diálogo com a própria condição de um corpo na contemporaneidade, marcado por consumo, incertezas, precariedade, fragilidade, anseio e sujeição às forças externas que o afetam, seduzem, lhe despertam desejos e o desmancham e conformam.Palavras-chave: Corpo. Consumo. Debilidade. Autobiografia ficcional. Escritos de artista.Abstract Boxes; our inputs is a literary chronicle written in dialogue with an artistic experience entitled Boxes, which I produce and record in 2020. The text is a fictional narrative with an autobiographical nature in which a character with hypochondriacal tendencies reports his experience with pain and worries he feels with his own body. The body, then, is the focus of the writing and is shown to be uncertain of its structure, weak in its functioning and frightened by its vulnerability. The dialogue between the text and the work Boxes occurs in the use of keywords throughout the narrative. In the photographed work, 50 liquids were poured into cardboard boxes in order to let them absorb these substances. Each liquid freely mentioned in the text is one of which was poured into the boxes, which include liquid vitamin D3, Atlantic water, stalactite from a garage, cachaça, gasoline, oil, painkillers in drops, among others. In the work, among other motivations, I seek a dialogue with the condition of a body in contemporary times, marked by consumption, uncertainties, precariousness, fragility, yearning and by subjection to external forces that affect, seduce, awaken desires and break and conform. Keywords: Body. Consumption. Fragility. Fictional autobiography. Artist’s writings.

Published: September 2022

La presente investigación, tuvo como objetivo principal, determinar el nivel de percepción del desempeño laboral de los trabajadores de la municipalidad Provincial de Moyobamba, San Martín - Perú. El estudio realizado fue descriptivo, de diseño no experimental. Para medir la percepción del desempeño laboral, en una muestra de 60 trabajadores; se utilizó el instrumento individual Work Performance (IWP), adaptado por Widyastuti & Hidayat, que consta de las dimensiones: Rendimiento en la tarea; comportamientos contraproducentes y rendimiento en el contexto; asimismo, para obtener los resultados, se utilizó la estadística básica. Tanto el desempeño laboral, como sus dimensiones, fueron percibidas en un nivel moderado, esto implica que, los trabajadores ven como necesario una actividad planificada que permita el conocimiento previo de los ciudadanos; además el trabajador se siente con rendimiento y dedicación a su centro laboral. Asimismo, el estudio, como parte de sus hallazgos confirma, las premisas que, en las municipalidades de nuestro país, encontramos un factor común, la existencia de problemas en el desempeño laboral de los trabajadores; revelándose asimismo, que la gran mayoría de trabajadores desconocen sus funciones y responsabilidades; pero el estudio también revela que un porcentaje de trabajadores sí conocen sus funciones, pero que no las cumplen o no las asumen con responsabilidad; dichos hallazgos, son plasmados con claridad y precisión en las conclusiones de la presente investigación.

Introduction: To identify the specific Anopheles mosquito sibling species responsible for malaria transmission, determine their vectorial potential, and predict suitable control measures, this study investigated genetic identities, human blood feeding, and sporozoite infection rates of endophilic Anopheles mosquitoes in Gaa-Bolorunduro, a cattle rearing community in Kwara State, Nigeria.
Methodology: Monthly pyrethrum spray collections of Anopheles mosquitoes were conducted for one year in addition to PCR characterization of sibling species and ELISA probing of human blood meal and sporozoite infections. Mean numbers and human blood indices (HBI) of the different Anopheles sibling species identified were compared.
Results: The total of 668 PCR-identified mosquitoes comprised 50.8% An. arabiensis, 46.7% An. gambiae, and 2.5% An. coluzzii. Annual mean numbers of An. arabiensis was significantly higher (p = 0.001) than An. coluzzii but not An. gambiae (p = 0.602). Proportions of An. arabiensis found with human blood (0.29) were lower compared to An. gambiae (0.72) and An. coluzzii (0.75). However, the annual mean HBI of An. arabiensis was not significantly higher than An. gambiae (p = 0.195) and An. coluzzii (p = 0.249). Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite infection rate was 1.6% in An. gambiae, 0.9% in An. arabiensis and 0% in An. coluzzii.
Conclusions: The prevalent An. arabiensis and An. gambiae mosquitoes found indoors, despite the outdoor cattle population barrier, could be targeted by community-scale utilization of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets. Further studies on outdoor mosquito surveillance and bovine blood meal identification are required for the recommendation of suitable complementary vector control measures for the community.

Introduction: There is limited information about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease in Latin-American countries. Our objective was to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients in Mexico.
Methodology: We conducted a retrospective cohort study with 333 consecutive patients who were admitted to Hospital de Especialidades "Dr. Antonio Fraga Mouret" in Mexico City with COVID-19 between April 1, 2020, and June 30, 2020. Demographic, clinical, laboratory data, treatment details and 30-day outcomes were analyzed.
Results: The patients studied included 52% men (172/233) and the median age was 45 years. Up to 75% (250/333) of patients were classified as overweight or obese. There were 185 (56%) inpatients; 85% (158/185) were hospitalized in the general ward, and 15% (27/185) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Laboratory measurements showed significant differences between inpatients and outpatients such as lymphocyte-count (median 0.8 vs 1.2×109/L, p < 0.001), LDH (median 650 vs 294 U/L, p < 0.001), CRP (median 147 vs 5 mg/L, p = 0.007), CK-MB (median, 15 vs 10 U/L, p = 0.008), ferritin (median, 860 vs 392 ng/mL, p = 0.02), and D-dimer (median, 780 vs 600 ng/mL, p = 0.15). These differences were seen between survivor and non-survivor patients as well. The rate of death in mechanically ventilated patients was 94% (67/71). Mortality at 30-day follow-up was 57% (105/185).
Conclusions: We observed that majority of the non-survivors were obese and young. Complications leading to death was observed in majority of the cases.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Tularemia is a zoonotic disease that primarily affects adults and children in rural areas. Late diagnosis in children is often associated with treatment failure and accessory surgical procedures.
Objective: To analyze the diagnostic and treatment options of pediatric tularemia during the last outbreak in Kosovo during years 2014 and 2015.
Methodology: This retrospective study includes 36 children treated for Tularemia at pediatric department. The diagnosis was based on clinical, serological, and PCR testing.
Results: Of the 230 patients treated for tularemia, 36 (16%) were children with a median age of 9.4 years old (range 2–15 years). Major clinical manifestations included fever (97%) and swelling of lymph glands (94%), and the duration of symptoms prior to hospitalization was two weeks (range 3-60 days). Leukocytosis (41%), along with an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (97%) characterized the laboratory findings. Both serology and PCR were used to confirm tularemia in children in 100% of cases. Due to abscess formation, suppuration, and high prevalence of tuberculosis, surgical procedures were used as accessory therapy and for diagnosis in half of the patients (50%). Gentamycin was the first drug of choice (97%), while 3 patients experienced relapses. Since the majority of the patients (72%) used unsafe water from wells in rural regions, the outbreak was thought to be water-related.
Conclusions: Every febrile child with swollen glands should be suspected of having tularemia. Gentamycin continues to be the preferred treatment for unilateral cervical glandular type. Successful therapy depends on early diagnosis and supplemental surgical procedures.

Introduction: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 is associated with intestinal infection in humans and is considered an important cause of food-borne diseases. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of E. coli O157:H7 in fecal samples of healthy cattle collected in slaughterhouses (n = 160) and from five farms (n = 100).
Methodology: E. coli isolates were detected on MacConkey agar. A total of 236 E. coli isolates were recovered from fecal samples of healthy cattle. We used sorbitol MacConkey medium to detect non-sorbitol fermenting colonies. These bacteria were examined for the presence of O157:H7 antigen by latex agglutination. The isolation of E. coli O157:H7 has been confirmed with PCR amplification of rfbEO157 and fliCH7 specific genes for serogroup O157 and with multiplex PCR of stx1, stx2, eaeA, and ehxA. All isolates were examined for their susceptibility to 21 antibiotics by the disc diffusion method.
Results: Of the 236 E. coli isolates, 4.2% (10/236) were positive for STEC O157:H7. Shiga toxin gene (stx2) and ehxA were present in 70% of isolates, stx1 and eae were confirmed in 60% of the isolates. Other virulence factors screened (fimH, sfa/focDE, cdt3, traT, iutA, and hlyA) were present among the 10 isolates. All E. coli O157:H7 isolates were sensitive to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cefotaxime, cefepime, aztreonam, colistin, and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. All isolates belong to the phylo-group E.
Conclusions: This is the first study of the incidence of E. coli O157:H7 in cattle in Tunisia. Our finding proves the existence of STEC O157:H7 in healthy animals producing food for human consumption which could be a source of food-borne disease.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Chongqing is among the areas with the highest rubella incidence rates in China. This study aimed to analyze the temporal distribution characteristics of rubella and establish a forecasting model in Chongqing, which could provide a tool for decision-making in the early warning system for the health sector.
Methodology: The rubella monthly incidence data from 2004 to 2019 were obtained from the Chongqing Center of Disease and Control. The incidence from 2004 to June 2019 was fitted using the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model and the back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model, and the data from July to December 2019 was used for validation.
Results: A total of 30,083 rubella cases were reported in this study, with a significantly higher average annual incidence before the nationwide introduction of rubella-containing vaccine (RCV). The peak of rubella notification was from April to June annually. Both SARIMA and BPNN models were capable of predicting the expected incidence of rubella. However, the linear SARIMA model fits and predicts better than the nonlinear BPNN model.
Conclusions: Based on the results, rubella incidence in Chongqing has an obvious seasonal trend, and SARIMA (2,1,1) × (1,1,1) 12 model can predict the incidence of rubella well. The SARIMA model is a feasible tool for producing reliable rubella forecasts in Chongqing.
Uterine Evaluation Using Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment Diagnostic Protocol: A Literature Review
Authors: Rusda Muhammad , Adnani Muhammad Rafi Junior 
Published: September 2022

Background: Myometrial lesion is one of the major causes of the need for gynecologic surgeries. Ultrasonography (USG) is the primary modality in myometrial radiological examination. Thus a consistent procedure for reporting evaluation findings is needed.
Method: We reviewed literature from textbooks and journals from 2000 to 2019 containing information about myometrial sonographic evaluation.
Results: MUSA (Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment) is a consensus statement on terms, definitions, and measurements that may be used to describe findings and report the sonographic features of the myometrium using gray-scale sonography, colour/power Doppler and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging. The procedure consists of reports on the sonographic features of the uterine corpus, myometrium, and myometrial lesion.
Conclusion: The need for a standardized terminology to describe sonographic findings of the myometrium, both normal and pathological, has given this protocol an advantage to show its benefit, that is not only just for a clinical background but also research purposes. We suggest researchers and clinicians continue to develop further and study the relevance and use of the consensus, especially the correlation of sonographic findings with clinical and histological features.

Published: September 2022

Background: Adolescents with thalassemia major had a worse quality of life (QOL) than healthy adolescents. Hope is considered as a protective factor to enhance QOL. The relationship between hope and quality of life in adolescents has been evaluated in various chronic diseases, across multiple countries, cultures, and settings. However studies on exploring the relationship between hope and QOL among adolescents with thalassemia are limited, especially in Indonesia. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between hope and QOL among adolescents with thalassemia in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out from April to Juni 2021. The respondents in this study were 120 adolescents who met the criteria (1) they were teenagers (10-19 years old) who received regular blood transfusions, (2) they could write and read, (3) adolescents who are not mentally retarded. Instruments include demographic data sheets, Child Hope Scale (CHS), and TranQOL. Data were analysis using the Pearson correlational test and multiple regression hierarchical analysis. Results: This study found that 65 (54.17%) were boys, and 55 (45.83%) were girls. About 64.17% had transfusion period for once in 2 - 4 weeks, and 4.17% with comorbidity, and 77.5% having hemoglobin 7 mg/dl. The mean QOL score among adolescents with thalassemia was 47.82 (SD=15.38). Hope and TranQOL scores were positively and strongly associated (r = 0.463, p<0.01). After adjusting for demographic and clinical factors, this finding revealed that hope was significantly and positively associated with QOL in step two. Hope had a significant impact on thalassemic adolescents' QOL (R2 = 0.371, R2 change = 0.239) Conclusion: Hope is a factor that is related and greatly influences the quality of life of thalassemia survivors so that the development of programs and policies that design the expectations of thalassemia survivors and their families will improve the quality of life of patients with thalassemia.
