Experiências adversas na infância: um estudo com autores de agressão sexual / Experiencias infantiles adversas: un estudio con perpretadores de agresiones sexuales / Adverse childhood experiences: a study addressing the perpetrators of sexual violence

This study aimed to describe the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) of perpetrators of sexual violence of children and adolescents and their relationship with the abusers' personal and situational factors (n = 30). Hence, a database composed of the transcripts of interviews was analyzed using content analysis, from which thematic categories emerged as proposed by the Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ). Physical abuse was the most frequently reported (70%). Sexual abuse was reported by almost half of the sample, which presented an increased risk in the face of the death and/or divorce of parents (RR = 4.21) and emotional neglect (RR = 3.2). In addition, the participants with higher ACE-Scores abused children more recurrently and less frequently consumed alcohol or other drugs. The interpretation of the results in light of the literature reinforces the hypothesis that the consequences of adversities during childhood are associated with a higher likelihood of becoming a victim throughout life and manifesting risky behaviors, such as aggressive sexual behavior. Future studies are suggested to apply the ACE-IQ to larger samples and implement a post-test to contribute to more effective interventions to treat this population.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia por parte de los perpetradores de agresión de niños y niñas y la asociación con factores personales y situacionales identificados. (n = 30). Para ello, se utilizó el instrumento de cribado del Cuestionario Internacional de Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia (ACE-IQ) para el análisis de los datos. El maltrato físico fue reportado con mayor frecuencia (70%) y el abuso sexual fue mencionado por casi la mitad de la muestra, con su riesgo aumentado ante la muerte y/o divorcio de los padres (RR = 4,21) y negligencia emocional (RR = 3.2). Participantes con ACE-Scores más altos han agredido repetidamente a sus víctimas y con menos necesidad de consumir alcohol y/o otras drogas. Los resultados muestran que las consecuencias de la exposición a la adversidad en la infancia están asociadas no solo a la probabilidad de convertirse en víctima a lo largo de la vida, sino también a caminos de transitar permeados por conductas de riesgo y criminalidad. Se sugiere que más estudios puedan aplicar el ACE-IQ a muestras más grandes, con la realización de una prueba posterior, lo que puede contribuir a intervenciones más efectivas al servicio de esta población.

Este estudo objetivou descrever Experiências Adversas na Infância (EAI) relatadas por autores de agressão sexual de crianças e adolescentes e sua relação com fatores pessoais e situacionais identificados (n = 30). Para tanto, utilizou-se um banco de dados formado por transcrições de entrevistas previamente realizadas, cuja análise de conteúdo considerou categorias temáticas retiradas do Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ). O abuso físico foi o mais relatado (70%) e o abuso sexual mencionado por quase metade da amostra, tendo seu risco aumentado diante da morte e/ou separação dos pais (RR = 4.21) e negligência emocional (RR = 3.2). Participantes com maiores ACE-Scores agrediram de forma mais recorrente e com menor uso de álcool e/ou outras drogas. A interpretação dos resultados à luz da literatura da área reforça a hipótese de que as consequências da exposição à adversidade na infância estão relacionadas tanto à probabilidade de tornar-se vítima ao longo da vida quanto de vir a manifestar comportamentos de risco, como a conduta sexual agressiva. Estudos posteriores poderão aplicar o ACE-IQ diretamente e em amostras maiores, com a realização de pós-teste, o que favorecerá a promoção de intervenções mais eficazes no atendimento a essa população.

SASA: una escala sencilla de mortalidad postoperatoria explorada en un centro de atención de tercer nivel en México / SASA: a simple scale of postoperative mortality explored in a third-level care center in Mexico

Resumen: Introducción: Las complicaciones postquirúrgicas han sido causa importante de muerte. Por lo tanto, el uso de predictores sencillos de mortalidad con una nueva escala llamada SASA podría indicar un riesgo postoperatorio de mortalidad a los 30 días aplicado en una muestra en población mexicana. Material y métodos: Exploramos una asociación entre la clasificación de estado físico de la Sociedad Americana de Anestesiólogos (ASA-PS), el Apgar quirúrgico (sAs) y la puntuación de SASA con un análisis univariado en 371 pacientes estimando la relación de probabilidades (OR) y graficando las curvas de operación característica del receptor (receiver-operating-characteristic [ROC]) para cada escala. Resultados: Obtuvimos los valores de dos; [sensibilidad; 81.82% (IC del 95%: 48.2-97.72), especificidad; 40.56% (IC del 95%: 35.44-45.83)], 6; [sensibilidad; 81.82% (IC del 95 %: 48.2-97.72), especificidad; 77.5% (IC del 95%: 72.83-81.71)] y 10; [sensibilidad; 81.82% (IC del 95%: 48.2-97.72), especificidad; 83.6% (IC del 95%: 78.77-86.78)] como los mejores puntos de corte para el ASA-PS, sAs y SASA respectivamente. Conclusiones: el cálculo de SASA obtuvo la misma sensibilidad, pero mejor especificidad y área bajo la curva cuando se comparó con el ASA-PS y el sAs.

Abstract: Introduction: Post-surgical complications have been a significant cause of death. Therefore, the use of easy preoperative mortality predictors is recommended. A new SASA score could indicate a perioperative risk more globally at 30-days of the postoperative period applied in a Mexican sample. Material and methods: 371 patients were analyzed. We explore an association between the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification (ASA-PS), the surgical Apgar score (sAs), and the new SASA score to assess 30-days mortality after surgery using univariate analysis to estimate the odds ratio (OR). Receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted for each scale. Results: We obtained values of two; [sensitivity; 81.82% (95% CI: 48.2-97.72), specificity; 40.56% (95% CI: 35.44-45.83)] 6; [sensitivity; 81.82% (95% CI: 48.2-97.72), specificity; 77.5% (95% CI: 72.83-81.71)] and 10; [sensitivity; 81.82% (95% CI: 48.2-97.72), specificity; 83.6% (95% CI: 78.77-86.78)] as the best cut-off points for ASA-PS, sAs and SASA respectively. Conclusions: To predict postoperative 30-days mortality, SASA calculation as a new score obtained the same sensitivity but better specificity and area under the curve (AUC) for the ROC compared with the ASA-PS and the sAs.

The world’s first malaria vaccine: Hope and challenge / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

The RTS,S/AS01 is a subunit malaria vaccine against the pre-erythrocytic stage of Plasmodium falciparum. After over 30 years of research and development and clinical trials, this vaccine has been recommended by the WHO for use among children living in highly malaria endemic areas. Although the RTS, S/AS01 vaccine suffers from problems of a low protective efficacy (about 30%), need of four doses and short duration of protective immunity, this malaria vaccine is expected to save tens of thousands of children’s lives, and avoid tens of millions of malaria cases annually, because there have been tens of thousands of childhood deaths due to malaria recently. The introduction of the RTS, S/AS01 vaccine is therefore, widely accepted as a milestone in the history of battle against malaria, which brings a hope to contain malaria and even eventually eliminate malaria. Although there are still multiple challenges in the development of a satisfactory malaria vaccine, the success of the RTS, S/AS01 malaria greatly facilitates the progress towards the development of parasitic disease vaccines, and a more perfect malaria vaccine deserves expectations.

Prevention of vasovagal response by applied muscle tension at different time points during blood donation / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To explore the role and value of applied muscle tension (AMT) in preventing vasovagal nerve reaction (VVR) in blood donors. 【Methods】 A total of 2 992 people, susceptible to suffer VVR from May 2020 to may 2022, were randomly divided into control group (1406 cases) and observation group (1 586 cases). The control group was not given AMT intervention, while the observation group received AMT intervention at different periods during blood donation. The changes of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and psychological state of anxiety (self-rating anxiety scale, SAS) of blood donors were monitored in the two groups at each period to compare the occurrence of VVR. 【Results】 There were no statistically significant differences in blood pressure and heart rate between the two groups before blood donation (P>0.05). The parameters were relatively stable in observation group during and after donation, but significantly different from that of the controls(P>0.05). SAS score was similar in two groups before blood donation(P>0.05), while decreased in observation group during and after donation in comparison with the controls(P<0.05). The incidence of VVR in the observation group was 3.09%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (7.97%)(P<0.05). The incidence of VVR was 2.18% after AMT exercise during blood donation. 【Conclusion】 AMT intervention in different periods of blood donation can significantly reduce the occurrence of VVR.

Unconstrained Monitoring of Sleep Respiration Based on Detection of Pressure fluctuations on Mattress / 医用生物力学

Objective To develop a method for monitoring unconstrained sleep respiration suitable for daily use at home, so as to realize high precision screening of sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) or other respiratory diseases without affecting normal sleep. Methods A new unconstrained measurement method using sheet-type flexible pressure sensor was proposed. This method could obtain the information of respiratory motions of the chest and abdomen by measuring the pressure fluctuations of the chest and abdomen acting on the mattress. Experiments were conducted on ten healthy subjects to confirm effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing the result of the unconstrained measurement and those of respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) using band sensors, respectively. Results Sheet-type flexible pressure sensor could measure the pressure fluctuations of the chest and abdomen acting on the mattress during respiration and obtain respiratory waveform and respiratory rate. The respiratory rate measured with the sheet-type flexible pressure sensor agreed with those obtained by RIP. The gender and the lying position greatly affected whether the phases of the pressure fluctuations of the chest and abdomen measured with the flexible sensor differed from those obtained by RIP. The chest respiratory finite element model was established to analyze the phase difference of respiratory movement. Conclusions Sheet-type flexible pressure sensor is effective to monitor unconstrained sleep respiration, indicating the potential to identify the SAS types. But further researches of motion decoupling are required to identify the phase difference between the chest motion and the abdomen motion, which are coupled with each other.

The purpose of this paper was to introduce the McNemar΄s χ2 test and SAS and R software implementation of four-fold table data collected from the matched pairs design. Firstly， it was proposed that there were three situations for the data of four-fold table of the paired design， namely ①the data of paired design four-fold table with the special "gold standard" was worthy of statistical analysis； ②the data of four-fold table of the paired design without the special "gold standard" was not worthy of statistical analysis； ③the data of four-fold table collected from the matched pairs design with implicit "gold standard" was worthy of statistical analysis. Secondly， taking the "problems and data" in the first case as the object of statistical analysis， SAS and R software were used to analyze the differences， the calculation results were given and explained， and the statistical and professional conclusions were also made.

How to use χ2 test correctly——CMH χ2 tests for the data collected from the three kinds of R×C contingency tables / 四川精神卫生

The purpose of this paper was to introduce the CMH χ2 test and SAS software implementation of the three kinds of R×C contingency table data. The first type was called “two-way unordered R×C contingency table data”. The CMH χ2 test corresponding to this type of data was essentially the Pearson’s χ2 test. The second type was called “R×C contingency table data with an ordinal outcome variable”. The CMH χ2 test corresponding to this kind of data was essentially a rank sum test. The third type was called “R×C contingency table data which was of two ordinal variables with different attributes”. The CMH χ2 test corresponding to the data was essentially Pearson’s correlation analysis or Spearman’s rank correlation analysis. When there were 1 or 2 “ordinal variables” in the R×C contingency table data， it was necessary to “assign or score” the ordinal variables before performing statistical analysis. In the FREQ procedure of SAS/STAT， there were four scoring methods. With different scoring approach， both the expression form and the calculation results of CMH χ2 test statistics could change accordingly.

Cuestionario de enfermedad respiratoria crónica (CRQ-SAS): análisis de las propiedades psicométricas / Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRQ-SAS): Analysis of psychometric properties

Introducción. El Cuestionario de Enfermedad Respiratoria Crónica Autoadminsitrado (CRQ-SAS) es un instrumento utilizado para evaluar calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en diferentes idiomas y poblaciones adultas, aunque no en adolescentes. Este estudio analiza las propiedades psicométricas del CRQ-SAS en una muestra de pacientes adolescentes con enfermedad respiratoria crónica y las relaciona con la clínica ansioso-depresiva. Método. Para analizar propiedades psicométricas del CRQ-SAS, se realizaron análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios, para estudiar la fiabilidad y validez de la escala. Para evaluar las relaciones con la clínica ansioso-depresiva, se realizaron correlaciones y regresiones lineales múltiples con la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión Hospitalaria. Se calcularon diferencias de medias en función de variables sociodemográficas. Resultados. El CRQ-SAS fue administrado en 280 niños y adolescentes con enfermedad respiratoria crónica de edades comprendidas entre 9 y 18 años (Media= 12,02) con una distribución similar entre varones y mujeres. Se mantuvo la estructura original de cuatro factores, se eliminaron 3 ítems de la escala original, y se obtuvo una nueva versión de 17 ítems. Esta mostró adecuadas propiedades psicométricas y de validez discriminante. La disnea y la función emocional fueron las dimensiones que mejor predijeron la clínica ansioso-depresiva. Por último, se obtuvieron baremos para la interpretación de las puntuaciones en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. Conclusiones. Este cuestionario, utilizado anteriormente en población adulta, puede ser un adecuado instrumento para evaluar calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en pacientes adolescentes con enfermedad respiratoria crónica.

Introduction. The Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire Self-Administered Standardized (CRQ-SAS) format is used to assess health-related quality of life in different languages and adult populations, but it has not been validated in adolescents. This study analyzes the psychometric properties of the CRQ-SAS in a sample of adolescent patients with chronic respiratory disease and correlates them to anxiety and depression. Method. In relation to the CRQ-SAS psychometric properties, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were done to assess the instrument's reliability and validity. Correlations and multiple linear regressions with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were done to assess the relation with anxiety and depression. The mean difference was estimated based on sociodemographic outcome measures. Results. The CRQ-SAS was administered to 280 children and adolescents with chronic respiratory disease aged 9-18 years (mean=12.02), with a similar male-female distribution. The original 4-factor structure was maintained; 3 items were removed from the original scale and a new 17-item version was obtained. This showed adequate psychometric properties and discriminant validity. The dyspnea and emotional functioning domains better predicted anxiety and depression. Lastly, scales were obtained for the interpretation of health-related quality of life scores. Conclusions. This questionnaire, which has been previously used in the adult population, may be an adequate instrument to assess health-related quality of life in adolescent patients with chronic respiratory disease.

Physical quality of seeds of Moquiniastrum polymorphum / Qualidade física de sementes de Moquiniastrum polymorphum

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the physical properties of the seeds of Moquiniastrum polymorphum when processed by mini-SAS, X-ray and seed blower systems. The seeds were purchased from Seeds Caiçara, located in Penápolis-SP. After purchase, the seed lot was characterized by standard tests. In the X-ray test the seeds were classified according to their internal morphology as filled, unfilled or malformed. The seed blower was set at six opening settings, resulting in light and heavy fractions. The evaluations were performed by weighing the seeds that remained in the blower (heavy fraction) and by the amount of filled seeds indicated by the X-ray test. The germination tests were composed of four replicates of 50 seeds. The mini-SAS was used for external evaluation. It was concluded that the combined use of the seed blower and the X-ray test was efficient for the evaluation and determination of the physical quality of the seeds of M. polymorphum. The seed blower at opening settings 5 resulted in the best lot quality. The external parameters were not able to qualitatively evaluate the seeds of M. polymorphum.
