ABSTRACT

According to the literature, biobehavioural interventions or combined strategies would reduce the risk of HIV infection by more than 7,000 new cases each day, which would contribute to the battle facing Latin America, where despite the high incidence and prevalence of HIV in the region, access to PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is very limited. The objective of this research was, consistent with the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), to conduct a scoping review to assess the evidence of available outcome data on biobehavioural interventions and programs to address gaps in the PrEP continuum of care in Latin America. The search was conducted in the databases EBSCOhost, WoS, Scopus, and ProQuest, and include all studies published from 2010 to 2021. One hundred eighty-six studies were identified and evaluated according to the eligibility criteria in six stages starting with the elimination of duplicates until the selection of studies that met the previously mentioned criteria; at the end five studies were chosen which were submitted to the methodological quality assessment including compliance with ethical guidelines. Results show that biobehavioural interventions promoting PrEP in Latin America are effective in increasing condom use, decreasing HIV risk, and increasing PrEP awareness, uptake, adherence, and retention. The limited number of interventions in the PrEP continuum of care indicates a need for the uptake of dissemination and implementation science (D&I) frameworks. D&I could help facilitate the translation of evidence-based practices, interventions, and policies to address the HIV crisis in Latin America.


Según la literatura, las intervenciones bioconductuales o estrategias combinadas reducirían el riesgo de infección por VIH en más de 7000 nuevos casos cada día, lo que contribuiría a la batalla que enfrenta América Latina, región en la que, a pesar de la alta incidencia y prevalencia del VIH, el acceso a la PrEP (profilaxis preexposición) es muy limitado. De acuerdo con las directrices de PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), el objetivo de esta investigación fue realizar una revisión de alcance para evaluar la evidencia de los datos de resultados disponibles sobre intervenciones bioconductuales y programas para abordar las brechas en el continuo de atención de PrEP en América Latina. La búsqueda se realizó en las bases de datos EBSCOhost, WoS, Scopus y ProQuest, e incluyó todos los estudios publicados de 2010 a 2021. Se identificaron ciento ochenta y seis estudios, y se evaluaron de acuerdo con los criterios de elegibilidad en seis etapas, iniciando por la eliminación de duplicados hasta la selección de estudios que cumplieran los criterios previamente mencionados; al final se eligieron cinco estudios, los cuales fueron sometidos a la evaluación de calidad metodológica, incluyendo el cumplimiento de los lineamientos éticos. Los resultados muestran que las intervenciones bioconductuales que promueven la PrEP en América Latina son efectivas para aumentar el uso del condón, disminuir el riesgo de VIH y aumentar la conciencia, la aceptación, la adherencia y la retención de la PrEP. El número limitado de intervenciones en el continuo de atención de la PrEP indica la necesidad de adoptar marcos científicos de difusión e implementación (D&I); marcos que podrían ayudar a facilitar la traducción de prácticas, intervenciones y políticas basadas en la evidencia para abordar la crisis del VIH en América Latina.

ABSTRACT

La pandemia por COVID-19 ocasionó diversas afectaciones en el mundo, entre ellas la saturación de información en los medios de comunicación tradicionales y en los de divulgación científica, debido a la producción acelerada de material informativo. En el Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, el personal bibliotecario ha contribuido a la selección cuidadosa de documentos, ya que brinda servicios de información especializada al personal de salud para apoyarlo en actividades académicas, educativas, docentes y de investigación. En el contexto del distanciamiento fìsico, la necesidad de contar con información actualizada y veraz sobre el nuevo coronavirus se convirtió en una prioridad. En este sentido, el personal bibliotecario enfocó sus esfuerzos en llevar a cabo estrategias que permitieran brindar servicios de información especializada vía remota al reforzar los servicios de referencia, como la alerta bibliográfica y la Diseminación Selectiva de Información, a fin de hacer llegar a los usuarios, de forma oportuna, sencilla y ágil, información actualizada, confiable y de calidad sobre la COVID-19. Estos servicios han sido bien recibidos por los usuarios, pero aún es necesario sistematizar el otorgamiento de servicios de información para identificar cuáles documentos son de mayor interés y utilidad.


The COVID-19 pandemic caused various effects in the world, among them the saturation of information in the traditional media, as well as in those of scientific dissemination, due to the accelerated production of informative material. At the Mexican Institute for Social Security (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social), librarians have contributed to the careful selection of documents as they are in charge of providing specialized information services to health personnel in order to support them in academic, educational, teaching and research activities. In the context of physical distancing, the need for up-to-date and accurate information on the new coronavirus became a priority. In this sense, librarians have focused their efforts to carry out strategies that would allow to provide specialized information services remotely, reinforcing reference services such as bibliographic alert and Selective Information Dissemination, to reach users in a timely manner, simple and agile, updated, reliable and quality information on COVID-19. These services have been well received by users, but it is still necessary to systematize the provision of information services to identify which documents are of greatest interest and usefulness.

ABSTRACT

Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) belongs to a heterogeneous group of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions involving the temporomandibular joint complex, musculature and adjacent components. These conditions can generate signs and symptoms and be influenced by an altered biopsychosocial condition. Objective: This study aims to seek information to assist the patient in the presence of TMD signs and symptoms and Orofacial Pain, associated with the period of social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods: For the preparation of this manual, a bibliographic search was performed in the databases PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), BBO (BVS), Scopus, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library, using the keywords: orofacial pain, temporomandibular disorders, bruxism, stress, anxiety, biopsychosocial, diagnosis, self-care with important information on how to reduce and control the signs and symptoms of TMD and Orofacial Pain in this moment of pandemic that we are experiencing a social detachment. Results: The results show that the pandemic of COVID-19 and the need for social isolation, generates psychological impact that raises the pattern of anxiety and can directly affect patients with bruxism and TMD. Conclusion: Psychological factors associated with the pandemic can lead to an increased risk of developing, worsening and perpetuating bruxism, especially waking bruxism and TMD, so dentists should be aware of the occurrence of signs and symptoms to manage the multifactorial aspects of this condition. At that time, individual self-management strategies are advised for the patient, which consist of self-massage techniques, body education, exercise practices, sleep hygiene, meditation also the use of mobile apps and online tools that facilitate this activity.

ABSTRACT

La evaluación del impacto del petróleo en la interacción suelo-raíz de la planta de mangle blanco, Laguncularia racemosa, es básica para identificar los cambios en la actividad microbiana y en el potencial biotecnológico para la remediación de histosoles contaminados. El objetivo de la investigación fue evaluar la distribución espacial de los hidrocarburos totales del petróleo (HTP) en el suelo orgánico, la densidad poblacional de bacterias promotoras del crecimiento vegetal, así como la respiración microbiana en el rizoplano (RI) en la rizósfera (RZ) y en suelo no rizosférico (SNR) de L. racemosa. Una superficie de 8 000 m2 de un histosol afectado desde 1967 y 1968 se evaluó por derrame crónico de petróleo y lodos de perforación provenientes del pozo petrolero La Venta 248. Se seleccionaron 15 árboles de L. racemosa y se extrajeron muestras del RI, RZ y SNR. Los HTP se extrajeron en equipo soxhlet con diclorometano durante ocho horas y se cuantificaron por gravimetría. La cantidad promedio extraída de HTP permitió la diferenciación de cuatro suelos (S) en el área evaluada, con valor promedio para el S1 de 1 797 mg kg-1 (no contaminado para la normativa mexicana) y tres suelos contaminados: S2 con 3 294, S3: 5 249 y S4: 10 389 mg kg-1. Los resultados evidencian diferencias estadísticas (Duncan, P ≤ 0.05) entre medias de las variables evaluadas. La mayor acumulación de HTP fue 22 962 mg kg-1, se extrajo del SNR en el S4. Las mayores densidades de bacterias fijadoras de N, solubilizadoras de P, Azospirillum y Azotobacter fueron bioestimuladas por la presencia de niveles altos de HTP en el suelo, sin embargo la respiración microbiana fue inhibida. Los resultados sugieren que L. racemosa es sostenible en suelos con petróleo intemperizado, y es un bioestimulador de la actividad microbiana para la atenuación natural.


The evaluation of the impact of oil on the soil-root interaction of the white mangrove plant, Laguncularia racemosa is essential to identify changes in microbial activity and biotechnological potential for remediation contaminated histosols. The objective was to evaluate the spatial distribution of total petroleum hydrocarbons (THP) in organic soil, the population density of plant growth promoting bacteria, also in microbial respiration in the rhizoplane (RI), in the rhizosphere (RZ) and in non-rhizospheric soil (NRS) of L. racemosa. An area of 8 000 m2 of an affected histosol was evaluated, during 1967 and 1968, by chronic oil spill and drilling mud from the La Venta 248 oil well. Fifteen trees of this species were selected to obtain samples of the RI, RZ and NRS. The TPH were extracted in soxhlet with dichloromethane for eight hours and quantified by gravimetry. The average amount extracted from TPH allowed the differentiation of four soils (S) from the evaluated area, the average values were for S1: 1 797 mg kg-1 (not contaminated for Mexican regulations) and three contaminated soils, the values are S2: 3 294, S3: 5 249, and S4: 10 389 mg kg-1. The results show statistical differences (Duncan, P ≤ 0.05) between means of the evaluated variables. The greatest accumulation of TPH was 22 962 mg kg-1, it was extracted from the NRS in S4. The highest densities of N-fixing bacteria, P solubilizers, Azospirillum and Azotobacter were biostimulated by the presence of high levels of THP in the soil, however microbial respiration was inhibited. The results suggest that L. racemosa is sustainable in soils with weathering oil, and is a biostimulator of microbial activity for natural attenuation.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El sobrepeso y la obesidad son actualmente un serio problema de salud pública en México, principalmente en la etapa infantil, según la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición (ENSANUT, 2012). La obesidad es una enfermedad multifactorial, en la cual se involucran aspectos genéticos, ambientales y de estilo de vida. Para prevenir y tratarla deben modificarse los hábitos de vida, mediante promoción y educación para la salud. Para cambiar los hábitos de la población primero se debe conocer cuáles son, posteriormente crear estrategias para modificarlos. No existen cuestionarios para identificar los hábitos de vida saludables en niños escolares en nuestro medio. Objetivo: Diseñar y evaluar la fiabilidad y validez del cuestionario. Métodos: Se aplicó en 417 escolares. Se usaron medidas de tendencia central y dispersión para los dominios y grupos; consistencia interna mediante alpha de Cronbach y correlación interescalar. Resultados: Se encontró que los 27 ítems en los dos dominios superaron el estándar propuesto de fiabilidad (α de Cronbach) mayor a 0.50. Se encontró correlación aceptable, en las diferentes dimensiones del cuestionario (total vs. dominios). La estabilidad test-retest es superior a 0.75 en las dos dimensiones; en los análisis de validez efectuados (de contenido y constructo) los resultados son satisfactorios. Conclusiones: La versión del cuestionario reúne los criterios de consistencia interna y validez de contenido y constructo. Dichos resultados ponen de manifiesto que el cuestionario propuesto pueda ser utilizado como una herramienta para valorar los hábitos de vida en escolares.


Introduction: Being over weight and obesity are currently serious public health problems in Mexico, particularly in childhood. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (ENSANUT, 2012), obesity is a multifactorial disease in which genetic, environmental and lifestyle issues are involved. To prevent and treat obesity lifestyle should be altered through health promotion and education. To change the habits of the population, first they need to be recognised, then strategies to modify them developed. Presently, there are no questionnaires to identify healthy habits in school children in our area. Objective: To design and evaluate the reliability and validity of a questionnaire that assesses health habits in children. Methods: 417 schoolchildren undertook the questionnaire. Measures of central tendency and dispersion for domains and groups were used; internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha and interscalar correlation. Results: It was found that the 27 items in the 2 domains exceeded the suggested standard of reliability (Cronbach α) greater than 0.50. Acceptable correlation was found in the different dimensions of the questionnaire (total vs. domains). The test-retest stability was higher than 0.75 in both dimensions; in analyses performed on validity (content and construct) the results were satisfactory. Conclusions: The version of the questionnaire met the criteria of internal consistency and content validity and construct. These results show that the proposed questionnaire can be used as a tool to assess lifestyle in school children.

ABSTRACT

A sensibilidade muscular é um sinal clínico importante presente na maioria dos pacientes com algum tipo de Disfunção Têmporo-Mandibular(DTM). A Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) reconheceu a auriculoterapia como uma terapia eficaz em alívio de dores. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a eficiência da auriculoterapia, associada com a placa miorrelaxante, no alivio da dor em pacientes com desordens temporomandibulares comparando os grupos quanto ao tipo de seleção de pontos, tempo de tratamento e de alta. Foram analisados 15 pacientes divididos igualmente em 3 grupos: controle, grupo dos pontos pré-selecionados e grupo das síndromes energéticas. Em todos os grupos, os pacientes utilizaram placas miorrelaxantes e nos dois últimos foi realizada a auriculoterapiacom sementes. Mensurou-se o nível de dor por uma escala visual analógica(VAS). A comparação das intensidades de dor no três grupos em cada momento de medida semanal foi realizada pelo teste Kruskal-Wallis e quando houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos, o Teste de Mann- Whitney foi utilizado. Além disso, o tempo de tratamento para alta nos três grupos foi descrito pelas curvas de Kaplan – Maier, e comparados pelo teste log rank. Os resultados revelaram diferenças estatisticamente significantes (p<0,05) entre os grupos controle e pontos pré-selecionados, não houve diferenças entre os três grupos quanto ao tempo de alta, a associação das técnicas da auriculoterapia com a placa miorrelaxante é positiva, quando indicada para alivio da dor.


Muscular sensitivity is an important clinical sign present in the majority of patients with some type of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized auriculotherapy as an efficient therapy for pain relief.The aim of this study is to assess the efficiency of auriculotherapy associated with a myorelaxant plate in pain relief of patients with temporomandibular disorders, comparing the groups with regard to the type of point selection, treatment time and discharge.Fifteen patients, equally divided into 3 groups were analyzed: control, group of pre-selected points and group of energysyndromes. In all groups, the patients used myorelaxant plates, and in the latter two groups auriculotherapy with ear seeds wasperformed. The pain level was measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS). Every week the pain intensities in the three groups were measured, and all the times of these weekly pain intensity measurements were compared by the Kruskal-Wallis test. When there were statistically significant differences among the groups, the Mann- Whitney test was used. In addition, treatment time for discharge in the three groups was described by Kaplan-Meier curves and compared by the log rank test. The results revealed statistically significant differences (p<0.05) between control group and group of pre-selected points; there were no differences among the three groups as regards discharge time; the association of auriculotherapy techniques with the myorelaxant plate is positive when indicated for pain relief.

ABSTRACT

En el presente trabajo trataremos de mostrar la manera de abordar el cuello por vía endoscópica para realizar la laringectomía total. En primer lugar describiremos la técnica de ingreso al cuello que es tal vez la parte más importante, porque un buen acceso por el camino correcto y sin sangrado, permite el desarrollo de los tiempos posteriores con más seguridad y mejor visión. En el caso de la laringe, creemos que la cirugía endoscópica es de mucha utilidad ya que al ser un método de invasión mínima evitando amplias incisiones y la movilización de colgajos músculo-cutáneos, permitiría una mejor y más rápida evolución post-quirúrgica satisfactoria implicando una menor morbimortalidad. Esperamos que este desarrollo lleve a un aumento de la casuística para poder sacar conclusiones válidas sobre la verdadera utilidad de esta forma de tratamiento.
