Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndromes in Depressive Episodes of Bipolar Disorder Based on Cluster Analysis and Bayesian Network：A Cross-sectional Study / 中医杂志

ObjectiveTo explore the elements， distribution and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes in depressive episodes of bipolar disorder （BD）. MethodsBasic information， along with the four examination information， the Hamilton Depression Scale and Young Mania Rating Scale scores， were collected from 293 outpatients with BD at Beijing Anding Hospital， Capital Medical University. The four examination information with an occurrence rate greater than 12% were retained. The R language “dist” function was used to calculate the distances between samples using the Euclidean distance method. The hierarchical clustering of the four examination information was performed using the “hclust” function and the squared Euclidean distance method. A team of five researchers was formed to determine the nature and location of the essential elements of TCM syndrome in BD based on the clustering results. The PC algorithm was used to construct a Bayesian network model of the essential elements. The working group combined the essential elements of TCM syndromes in the Bayesian network according to the reference model results， and then extracted common TCM syndromes. The score of each patient based on the essential elements was matched with the common TCM syndromes to determine the syndrome type of each patient. The working group then performs conformity and revision based on this， obtaining the final distribution of TCM syndromes for the patients. ResultsThere were 77 common TCM symptoms in BD with a frequency greater than 12%. The top 15 symptoms with higher frequencies were slippery pulse， mental fatigue and lack of strength， wiry pulse， excessive rumination， preference for solitude， vexation， agitation and irritability， dry mouth， palpitations， profuse dreaming， unwarranted worries， chest oppression， thin white coating， amnesia， frequent sighing， and poor appetite. TCM syndrome elements of BD can be grouped into 11 categories. The nature of disease-related essential elements included fire， qi deficiency， blood deficiency， qi counterflow， yin deficiency， dampness， heat， fire from constraint， and phlegm. The location of disease-related essential elements included heart， liver， spleen， stomach， kidney， bladder channel， and gallbladder. By constructing a Bayesian network model and considering the opinions from the experts， six common syndromes of BD were identified， among which the highest proportion was heart-stomach heat accumulation， accounting for 27.99% （82 cases）， followed by heart-spleen deficiency （55 cases， 18.77%）， non-interaction between the heart and the kidney （49 cases， 16.72%）， liver constraint and blood deficiency （42 cases， 14.33%）， heart qi deficiency （37 cases， 12.63%）， and damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder （28 cases， 9.56%）. ConclusionsThe nature of disease-related elements of BD are predominantly fire and heat， while the location of disease-related essential elements are primarily associated with the heart， liver， and spleen. The most common TCM syndromes are heart-stomach heat accumulation and heart-spleen deficiency.

Perfiles de resiliencia asociados al engagement académico y al apoyo social en estudiantes universitarios / Coping profiles associated with resilience, academic engagement, and social support in university students

Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue observar los estilos de resiliencia entre estudiantes de pregrado y explorar la forma en la que cada uno de ellos se encontraba asociado al engagement académico y a las redes de apoyo social al inicio de los estudios universitarios. La muestra correspondió a 371 estudiantes de pregrado del Caribe Colombiano evaluados a partir de un análisis estadístico de clústeres, por el método jerárquico aglomerativo. Posteriormente se clasificaron en grupos de acuerdo con sus similitudes en las 12 dimensiones de resiliencia y finalmente se compararon en términos de engagement y redes personales. Los resultados señalaron cuatro perfiles de estudiantes: (1) sujetos con baja-resiliencia, alto engagement y fuertes vínculos relacionales; (2) resilientes-en-proceso, con niveles intermedios de resiliencia, bajo engagement y redes sociales con poca cercanía; (3) resilientes-autónomos con altos puntajes de resiliencia, niveles intermedios de engagementy redes sociales débiles; y (4) resilientes-con-redes, exhibieron altos niveles de resiliencia, con alto engagement y amplias redes de apoyo. Se concluye que la mayor porción de jóvenes que comienzan la universidad muestra perfiles de baja resiliencia; sin embargo, los altos niveles de motivación por los estudios y los recursos sociales como las redes de apoyo de los compañeros son las condiciones que más permiten afrontar los obstáculos de la vida universitaria. Es importante notar que solamente el último perfil integró los elementos de alta resiliencia, alto engagement y fuertes redes de apoyo que permiten confirmar la íntima asociación entre estos constructos. Los otros perfiles representan casos en los cuales los rasgos de resiliencia son independientes de los niveles de engagement y de la composición de las redes de apoyo personal.

Abstract Adjustment of first-year students to university environments, as well as their academic success, is not exclusively related to their academic aptitude; instead, this adjustment is associated with psychological characteristics, personal and even social resources that help students cope with stressors and new circumstances. A comprehensive assessment of the students' adjustment to university environment must transcend preoccupation on academic performance, and instead explore associations among psychological, academic, and social elements that promote adaptation during the initial years of higher education (Marenco-Escuderos et al., 2021). In this line of research, the objective of this work was to inquire how internal characteristics of students (psychological and academic) interplay with external elements in their support systems to promote adaptation in a higher education environment. Associations were explored among resilience, academic engagement, and social support as determining elements in the adjustment to the demands of the university context. The sample consisted of 371 undergraduate students (60 % female), of low socioeconomic status, enrolled in public universities in the Caribbean region of Colombia. Firstly, the resilience of university students was explored, as the ability to respond to obstacles with a positive view of the world, of others, and of one's own abilities to cope with stressors (Saavedra-Guajardo et al., 2019). Second, the level of engagement that drives young students to concentrate their energies on academic activities was reviewed; and third, the role of peers, and friends as the close-support system that facilitates the overcoming of personal and academic difficulties was investigated (Fernández-Martínez et al., 2017). Based on a statistical cluster analysis, by the agglomerative hierarchical method, individuals were classified according to their similarities in the expression of 12 dimensions of resilience (SV-RES scale), and subsequently compared in terms of engagement (UWES-S scale), and personal support networks (UNICET software). The results showed four student profiles: (1) the largest group consisting of students with low-resilience, high engagement and strong support networks; (2) a resilient group with low levels of engagement and support networks with little intimacy; (3) a resilient group with high characteristics of autonomy, intermediate levels of engagement, and support networks with weak structure; and (4) a very resilient group, high engagement, and wide and strong social support networks. The results point out the fact that the greatest proportion of students who start college show profiles of low resilience, however, high levels of motivation for studies and social resources such as peer support networks are the conditions that mostly allow for coping with adversity in the first years of college. These results could point to cultural aspects specific to the Caribbean region, where social networks are of great importance for daily functioning (Marenco-Escuderos et al., 2021). Regarding the association among the studied variables, it is important to note that only the last profile gathered all elements of high resilience, high engagement, and strong support networks that allow for confirming the association among these constructs. The other three profiles represent cases in which the resilience traits are independent of the students' levels of engagement and the composition of their personal support networks. This study is valuable as it provides a differentiating picture of the relationship of resilience with other psychological and social constructs, and in that it allows to better understand resilience in association with other elements that mediate its interpretation. Important gender differences among the profiles are additionally discussed.

The B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma: An enigma to diagnose

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a heterogeneous group of malignancies characterized by an abnormal clonal proliferation of T-cells, B-cells, or both. Sometimes, tuberculosis and lymphoma presentation can share common symptoms and features. In this case report, we present the case of a 28-year-old female patient who came with a chief complaint of swelling on the right side of the face for the past 6 months. Initially, it was not associated with pain but gradually developed severe pain over the region and reduced salivary flow. The patient was planned for surgery with a differential diagnosis of salivary gland pathology. Post-operatively, the histopathological report showed atypical cells which were diffusely positive for cluster of differentiation (CD)20. Focally positive for CD45 and CD3 which was positive in reactive T lymphocytes. Immunohistochemistry pattern favors the diagnosis of B-cell type NHL. Through this case report, we want to share our experience in treating an aggressive tumor that mimics salivary gland pathology.

Obesogenic behavior clusters associated with weight status among Brazilian students: a latent class analysis / Agrupamentos de comportamentos obesogênicos associados com status de peso em estudantes brasileiros: uma análise de classe latente

Abstract This study aimed to examine the association between clusters of physical activity (PA), diet, and television viewing (TV) with weight status among a representative sample of Brazilian students. Data from the National Health School-based Survey (PeNSE) 2015 were analyzed (n = 16,521; mean age 14.8, standard deviation 0.03 year). PA (minutes/week spent in leisure-time, and commuting to/from school), TV (hours/day), and weekly consumption of deep-fried empanadas, candies, sodas, ultra-processed foods, fast foods, green salads or vegetables, and fruits were self-reported on the validated PeNSE questionnaire. Latent class analysis defined behavior classes, and binary logistic regression assessed the association between clustering and weight status. Six classes' types with positive and negative behaviors were identified. Adolescents belonging to the "low TV time and high healthy diet" class had higher chances of being overweight (including obesity) compared to their peers in the "moderate PA and mixed diet" class. No associations were found in the other clusters. Mixed classes with healthy and unhealthy behaviors characterized adolescents' lifestyles and these profiles were related to weight status.

Resumo O estudo objetivou examinar a associação entre agrupamentos de atividade física (AF), dieta e tempo de televisão (TV) com o status do peso em uma amostra representativa de estudantes brasileiros. Foram analisados ​​dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar (PeNSE) 2015 (n = 16.521; idade média 14,8, desvio padrão de 0,03 ano). AF (minutos/semana no lazer e deslocamento para/da escola), assistir televisão (TV) (horas/dia), consumo semanal de doces, refrigerantes, alimentos ultraprocessados/fast-foods, saladas/vegetais e frutas foram coletadas por questionário validado. Análise de classes latentes definiu os perfis de comportamento e a regressão logística binária a associação entre agrupamento e status de peso. Foram identificadas seis classes com comportamentos positivos e negativos. Adolescentes pertencentes à classe "baixo tempo de TV e alta alimentação saudável" apresentaram maior probabilidade de ter sobrepeso/obesidade em comparação com seus pares na classe "AF moderada e dieta mista". Não foram encontradas associações nos outros perfis. Classes com comportamentos saudáveis ​​e não saudáveis ​​caracterizaram o estilo de vida dos adolescentes e estiveram relacionadas com o status de peso.

Transnasal endoscopy-guided percutaneous access to the sphenopalatine ganglion for neurostimulation in the treatment of primary headache: operative technique and feasibility

Abstract Objectives: Cluster headache is considered a trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia and may present with characteristic symptoms of sympathetic/parasympathetic activation on the affected side of the face, such as nasal discharge, tearing, and conjunctival injection. Invasive therapies targeting the sphenopalatine ganglion have been performed in these headache syndromes and can have a medication-sparing effect, especially in refractory, difficult-to-manage cases. The gate control theory of pain suggests that electric pulses delivered to nerve tissues can modulate neuronal activity, thus aiding in management of nociceptive or neuropathic pain, and studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of sphenopalatine ganglion neurostimulation. Within this context, we sought to assess the feasibility of a new surgical technique for neurostimulation of the sphenopalatine ganglion in a cadaver dissection model. Methods: The technique was developed through dissection of two cadaver heads. We divided the procedure into two stages: an endonasal endoscopic approach to expose the sphenopalatine ganglion and confirm electrode placement, and a cervicofacial approach to introduce the electrode array and position the internal pulse-generator unit. Computed tomography was performed to confirm implant placement at the end of the procedure. Results: The pulse-generator unit was successfully placed through a retroauricular incision, as is already standard for cochlear implant placement. This should reduce the incidence of perioperative sequelae, especially pain and swelling in the oral region, which are a common complication of previous approaches used for this purpose. Control imaging confirmed proper electrode placement. The device used in this study allows the patient to modulate the intensity of the stimulus, reducing or even obviating the need for drug therapy. Conclusion: The novel technique described herein, based on percutaneous access guided by transmaxillary endoscopy, can provide great precision in electrode array positioning and decreased perioperative morbidity, combining the advantages of endoscopic approaches with those of the retroauricular route. Level of evidence: 3.

A prevalência de multimorbidade foi de 26,7% e foram encontradas 11 combinações de cluster (34,4%), sendo o maior escore na combinação das cinco doenças mais prevalentes. Foi identificada a associação entre a presença de multimorbidade e o sexo, sendo a prevalência 24% menor entre os homens, e com a escolaridade, sendo a prevalência 26% maior nos indivíduos que não possuem ensino superior. Conclusão: Foram identificadas associações entre a presença de multimorbidade e o sexo feminino, e indivíduos que não concluíram o ensino superior. Observou-se, ainda, uma associação simultânea das cinco principais DCNT deste estudo com o nível de escolaridade (AU).

Objectives: Investigate the aggregation of NCDs and their association with sociodemographic characteristics and occupational aspects in primary healthcare workers. Methods: A cross-sectional study analyzed partial data from a cohort profile conducted in Vitória da Conquista (BA) and in São Geraldo da Piedade (MG) in January 2022 with 105 workers of "Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF)" who answered a self-report electronic questionnaire. The variables of this research were: sociodemographic characteristics, job aspects, and the presence of NCDs and multimorbidity. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, chi-square test, and binary logistic regression. Results: The five NCDs more prevalent were: rhinitis/sinusitis (30,5%), headache/migraine (26,7%), hypercholesterolemia (26,7%), gastritis (19,0%), and hypertension (19,0%). The prevalence of multimorbidity was 26,7%, and 11 cluster combinations were found (34,4%) since the higher score was identified in the aggregation of the five more prevalent diseases. There was an association between the presence of multimorbidity and the sex (the prevalence is 24% smaller for men) and between the presence of multimorbidity and the level of education (the prevalence is 26% higher in people without a college degree). Conclusion: The prevalence of multimorbidity was associated with the female sex and with people without a college degree. Furthermore, an association was observed between the five more prevalent NCDs in this study and the level of education (AU).

Os perfis de gamers adultos pagantes: uma análise sobre os valores preferidos em jogos / The profiles of paying adult gamers: an analysis of the preferred values in games

Os indivíduos constantemente tomam decisões de consumo, que também impactam na cadeia que participa direta ou indiretamente para a criação daquele produto ou serviço. Assim, compreender melhor os perfis dos consumidores de jogos digitais auxiliam os desenvolvedores locais a produzir jogos que despertem e mantenham o interesse desses gamers, tornando esse, o principal objetivo desta pesquisa. Para tal, utilizou-se a Análise de Clusters, através do método K-means para variáveis categóricas, onde foram encontradas quatro personas. Os grupos com mais idade e com renda mensal de R$ 2.200,01 a R$ 4.400,00 expressou um comportamento prudente em relação aos gastos com jogos (gastaram de 0 a 100 reais, nos últimos 6 meses). Os outros dois grupos restantes, mais jovens, apresentaram características financeiras distintas: o de menor renda mensal (até R$ 1.100,00) não foi o que menos gastou com jogos eletrônicos nos últimos 6 meses (101 a 250 reais). A pesquisa também concluiu que "autonomia para seguir vários caminhos" foi bastante valorizada pelos 4 perfis, nomeados de "jogador retraído", "jogador apaixonado", "jogador nostálgico" e "jogador vontade", refletindo as características principais de cada perfil.

Individuals constantly make consumption decisions, which impact not only the consumer, but also the entire chain that participates directly or indirectly in the creation of that product or service. Thus, there is a need to better understand the profiles of consumers of digital entertainment games, so that local developers can produce games that arouse and maintain the interest of these gamers, making this the main objective of this research. For this, Cluster Analysis was used, through the K-means method for categorical variables, where four personas were found, which were translated by their reference profiles (detailed in D descriptions), and represented a set of similar profiles in the sample space of the respondents, with homogeneous characteristics to this "focal profile". The groups composed of the oldest age group (31 ­ 40 years old) and with a monthly income of BRL 2,200.01 to BRL 4,400.00 expressed a prudent behavior in relation to spending on games (they spent from BRL 0.00 to BRL 100.00 in the last 6 months). The other two remaining groups, formed by the younger age group (21 ­ 30 years), had different financial characteristics: the one with the lowest monthly income (up to BRL 1,100.00) was not the one who spent the least on electronic games in the last 6 months. (BRL 101.00 to BRL 250.00). The survey also concluded that "autonomy to follow several paths" was highly valued by the 4 profiles, named "withdrawn player", "passionate player", "nostalgic player" and "willing player"" to reflect the main characteristics of each profile.

Clustering of cardiovascular disease risk factors among first-year students at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria: a cross-sectional study

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the second leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa. Globally, there is substantial evidence that modifiable risk factors for CVD are increasing in adolescents. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of information on the prevalence and clustering of these risk factors in adolescents. OBJECTIVES: This study explores the modifiable risk factors for CVD among first-year students at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. DESIGN AND SETTING: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. METHODS: A total of 546 newly admitted students at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, were recruited using stratified random sampling. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information from study participants between January and February 2016. RESULTS: The mean age of respondents was 19 ± 2.2 years with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1. The reported risk factors for CVD were smoking (1.6%), abdominal obesity (3.3%), alcohol consumption (3.7%), overweight/obesity (20.7%), unhealthy diet (85.3%), and physical inactivity (94.5%). Clustering of ≥ 2 risk factors was reported in 23.4% of students. Female students were twice as probably overweight/obese as male students (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.2; confidence interval [CI] = 1.41-3.43). Students whose fathers were skilled workers were 3.5 times more likely to be physically inactive (AOR = 1.7; CI = 0.97-2.96). The clustering of ≥ 2 risk factors was significantly higher among women and Muslims in bivariate analysis, whereas no significant association was found in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Public health strategies to prevent CVD risk factors should begin in schools and extend to the entire community.

Comparación de dos tipos de clasificación en dispepsia funcional; distrés postprandial o dolor epigástrico vs. un análisis multidimensional por conglomerados utilizando aprendizaje no supervisado

Los métodos de inteligencia artificial utilizando herramientas de aprendizaje no supervisado pueden apoyar la resolución de problemas al establecer patrones de agrupación o clasificación no identificados, que permiten tipificar subgrupos para manejos más individualizados. Existen pocos estudios que permiten conocer la influencia de síntomas digestivos y extradigestivos en la tipificación dispepsia funcional; esta investigación realizó un análisis de aprendizaje no supervisado por conglomerados basándose en dichos síntomas, para discriminar subtipos de dispepsia y comparar con una de las clasificaciones actualmente más aceptadas. Se realizó un análisis exploratorio de conglomerados en adultos con dispepsia funcional según síntomas digestivos, extradigestivos y emocionales. Se conformaron patrones de agrupación de tal manera que dentro de cada grupo existiera homogeneidad en cuanto a los valores adoptados por cada variable. El método de análisis de conglomerados fue bietápico y los resultados del patrón de clasificación se compararon con una de las clasificaciones más aceptadas de dispepsia funcional. De 184 casos, 157 cumplieron con criterios de inclusión. El análisis de conglomerados excluyó 34 casos no clasificables. Los pacientes con dispepsia de tipo 1 (conglomerado uno), presentaron mejoría al tratamiento en el 100% de los casos, solo una minoría presentaron síntomas depresivos. Los pacientes con dispepsia de tipo 2 (conglomerado dos) presentaron una mayor probabilidad de falla al tratamiento con inhibidor de bomba de protones, padecieron con mayor frecuencia trastornos de sueño, ansiedad, depresión, fibromialgia, limitaciones físicas o dolor crónico de naturaleza no digestiva. Esta clasificación de dispepsia por análisis de clúster establece una visión más holística de la dispepsia en la cual características extradigestivas, síntomas afectivos, presencia o no de trastornos de sueño y de dolor crónico permiten discriminar el comportamiento y respuesta al manejo de primera línea.

Artificial intelligence methods using unsupervised learning tools can support problem solving by establishing unidentified grouping or classification patterns that allow typing subgroups for more individualized management. There are few studies that allow us to know the influence of digestive and extra-digestive symptoms in the classification of functional dyspepsia. This research carried out a cluster unsupervised learning analysis based on these symptoms to discriminate subtypes of dyspepsia and compare with one of the currently most accepted classifications. An exploratory cluster analysis was carried out in adults with functional dyspepsia according to digestive, extra-digestive and emotional symptoms. Grouping patterns were formed in such a way that within each group there was homogeneity in terms of the values adopted by each variable. The cluster analysis method was two-stage and the results of the classification pattern were compared with one of the most accepted classifications of functional dyspepsia. Of 184 cases, 157 met the inclusion criteria. The cluster analysis excluded 34 unclassifiable cases. Patients with type 1 dyspepsia (cluster one) presented improvement after treatment in 100% of cases, only a minority presented depressive symptoms. Patients with type 2 dyspepsia (cluster two) presented a higher probability of failure to treatment with proton pump inhibitor, suffered more frequently from sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, physical limitations or chronic pain of a non-digestive nature. This classification of dyspepsia by cluster analysis establishes a more holistic vision of dyspepsia in which extradigestive characteristics, affective symptoms, presence or absence of sleep disorders and chronic pain allow discriminating behavior and response to first-line management.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for quality control of Gentiana rhodantha. METHODS Taking 52 batches of G. rhodantha as subject， ultra-high performance liquid chromatography （UPLC） fingerprint was adopted. The similarity of 52 batches of medicinal materials samples was evaluated by the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprints of Traditional Chinese Medicine （2004A edition）； the content of mangiferin was determined； chemometric analyses [cluster analysis， principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）] were performed. RESULTS UPLC fingerprints of 52 batches of G. rhodantha were established， 17 common peaks were identified， and 6 of them were identified， which were loganic acid （peak 1）， neomangiferin （peak 3）， swertiamarin （peak 5）， dangyin （peak 6）， mangiferin （peak 7） and isoorientin （peak 9）. The similarities of 52 batches of medicinal materials samples were all greater than 0.9； cluster analysis showed that S1-S46， S48-S52 clustered into one class， and S47 alone； PCA results showed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of the first six principal components was 82.928%； OPLS-DA results showed that the corresponding components of swertiamarin， mangiferin and chemical composition represented by peak 4， 14， 15， 16 were the main iconic components affecting the quality differences of G. rhodantha medicinal materials. The contents of mangiferin in 52 batches of medicinal material samples ranged from 18.2 to 101.0 mg/g， mostly in accordance with 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC fingerprint and chemometric analysis methods combined with content determination method of mangiferin can comprehensively evaluate the quality of G. rhodantha.

ObjectiveTo explore the macroscopic medication pattern of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in treating esophageal cancer （EC） and provide medication references for the clinical application of TCM in EC treatment. MethodRelevant literature on TCM treatment of EC was retrieved from three major Chinese databases： China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data， and VIP. Information about Chinese herbal medicines was entered into Excel to establish a prescription database for EC. The data were standardized， summarized， and subjected to frequency analysis， association rules， and cluster analysis of medication in the prescriptions. Based on the TCM classification of EC syndromes， clinical indications corresponding to each syndrome were identified， and high-frequency drugs and drug pairs were analyzed correspondingly with syndromes. ResultA total of 136 prescriptions containing 240 Chinese herbal medicines were screened， with a cumulative frequency of 1 853 times. The top 5 frequently used Chinese herbal medicines were Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Poria， Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma， Astragali Radix， and Pinelliae Rhizoma. In terms of functions， the Chinese herbal medicines were mainly deficiency-tonifying， urination-promoting and dampness-draining， deficiency-tonifying， deficiency-tonifying， and phlegm-resolving and cough and dyspnea-relieving ones. The statistical analysis of flavor， property， and meridian tropism showed that Chinese herbal medicines were mainly bitter and sweet， warm， cold， and neutral， and acted on the spleen， lung， and stomach meridians. Association rule analysis yielded nine potential drug combinations， and cluster analysis of high-frequency drugs resulted in four combination categories. The four TCM syndromes for EC corresponded to respective clinical indications， treatment drugs， and drug pairs. ConclusionTonifying deficiency， reinforcing healthy Qi， descending adverse Qi， resolving phlegm， activating blood， and resolving stasis are the basic principles of TCM treatment for EC， which are supplemented by clearing heat and dissipating mass while focusing on regulating and smoothing the qi movement. The drug combinations obtained from high-frequency drug and association rule analysis provide references for different TCM syndrome treatments of EC， offering valuable insights for clinical medication.

Influência da Gordura do Braço sobre Medida Indireta da Pressão Sanguínea: Uma Abordagem Estatística e de Machine Learning / Influence of Arm Fat on the Indirect Measurement of Blood Pressure: A Statistical and Machine Learning Approach

Resumo Fundamento A mensuração indireta da pressão sanguínea (PS) é sabidamente influenciada por diversos fatores como técnica, observador e equipamento, mas a influência da composição do braço ainda não foi investigada. Objetivo Identificar a influência da gordura do braço sobre a medida indireta da pressão sanguínea, utilizando modelos de inferência estatística e machine learning. Métodos Estudo transversal, com 489 adultos jovens saudáveis de 18 a 29 anos de idade. Foram medidos comprimento (COB), circunferência do braço (CB) e índice de gordura do braço (IGB). A PS foi mensurada em ambos os braços, simultaneamente. Os dados foram processados utilizando-se Python 3.0 e pacotes específicos para análise descritiva, regressão e clusterização. Um nível de significância de 5% foi adotado para todos os cálculos. Resultados A PS e as medidas antropométricas foram diferentes entre os hemicorpos. A pressão sanguínea sistólica (PAS), COB, e IGB foram maiores no braço direito (BD), enquanto CB foi similar em comparação ao braço esquerdo. COB e CB apresentaram correlação positiva com a PAS. Conforme o modelo de regressão, para determinado valor de CB e COB, a leitura da PAS poderá ter uma redução média de 1,80 mmHg no BD, e 1,62 mmHg no braço esquerdo, a cada 10% de aumento na IGB. A clusterização corroborou os resultados da regressão. Conclusão Foi encontrada uma influência significativa do IGB sobre a leitura da PS. A PAS teve correlação positiva com COB e CB, e correlação negativa com IGB, o que sugere a necessidade de mais investigações sobre a relação da PS com as frações de gordura e músculo do braço.

Abstract Background The indirect measurement of blood pressure (BP) is known to be influenced by many factors such as the technique, observer, and equipment; however, the influence of arm composition has not been investigated yet. Objective To identify the influence of arm fat on the indirect measurement of blood pressure using statistical inference and machine learning models. Methods Cross-sectional study, with 489 healthy young adults aged from 18 to 29 years old. Measurements of arm length (AL), arm circumference (AC) and arm fat index (AFI) were taken. BP was measured in both arms simultaneously. Data were processed using Python 3.0 and its specific packages for descriptive analysis, regression and cluster analysis. Significance levels: 5% for all calculations. Results BP and anthropometric measurements were different between the hemi-bodies. In the right arm, systolic blood pressure (SBP), AL and AFI were higher, while AC was similar compared with the left arm. AL and AC showed positive correlation with SBP. According to the regression model, for a fixed value of AC and AL, SBP readings could be reduced by a mean of 1.80 mmHg in the right arm, and 1.62 mmHg in the left arm for every 10% increase in AFI. Clustering analysis corroborated the regression results. Conclusion There was a significant influence of AFI on BP readings. SBP had a positive correlation with AL and AC, and a negative correlation with AFI, suggesting the need for further investigations on the relationship between BP and percentages of arm muscle and fat.

Brazilian National Food and Nutritional Security System: what are the similarities in the decentralization process? / Sistema Nacional de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional: quais são as semelhanças no processo de descentralização? / Sistema Nacional de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional: ¿cuáles son las similitudes en el proceso de descentralización?

This study aimed to analyze the multiple characteristics of the decentralization of the Brazilian National Food and Nutritional Security System (SISAN) in a period before the institutional dismantling. Data from the 26 Brazilian states were collected in two public information systems, referring to the years 2017/2018. An exploratory and descriptive study was performed using a hierarchical cluster analysis, based on an analysis model with multiple characteristics of the system decentralization. The results indicated the formation of three clusters, showing the similarity among states with greater intersectoral and participatory character, better relationship with municipalities, and allocation of resources. On the other hand, states with less intersectoral and participatory character, linked to the low allocation of resources, execution of food security actions, and municipal support were clustered. These clusters composed mainly of North and Northeastern states, with a lower Gross Domestic Product, average Human Development Index, and a higher occurrence of food insecurity, expressed characteristics that may be related to greater obstacles in the system decentralization process. This information can help in the decision-making about the SISAN in a more equitable manner, supporting the actors involved in its maintenance and defense, at a time when the country presents an austere political and economic situation, marked by the progressive worsening of food insecurity.

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as múltiplas características da descentralização do Sistema Nacional de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (SISAN) em um período anterior ao desmonte institucional. Dados dos 26 estados brasileiros foram coletados em dois sistemas públicos de informação, referentes aos anos de 2017/2018. Um estudo exploratório e descritivo foi realizado por meio de uma análise de cluster hierárquica baseada em um modelo de análise com múltiplas características de um sistema descentralizado. Os resultados indicaram a formação de três clusters, mostrando a semelhança entre os estados com maior caráter intersetorial e participativo, assim como melhor relação com municípios e alocação de recursos. De forma oposta, os estados com menor caráter intersetorial e participativo foram agrupados, ligados à baixa alocação de recursos, execução de ações de segurança alimentar e de apoio municipal fracos. Os clusters compostos principalmente por estados do Norte e Nordeste, com menor Produto Interno Bruto, Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano médio e maior ocorrência de insegurança alimentar, expressaram características que podem estar relacionadas a maiores obstáculos na descentralização. Essas informações podem auxiliar na tomada de decisão do SISAN de forma mais equitativa, servindo de apoio aos atores envolvidos em sua manutenção e defesa, em um momento em que o país apresenta uma situação política e econômica de austeridade, marcada pela piora progressiva da situação de insegurança alimentar.

Noncommunicable chronic diseases clusters in Brazilian adults and older adults: correlations as multimorbidity / Agrupamento de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis em adultos e idosos brasileiros: correlações como multimorbidade

Abstract Background Health has dynamic conditions and overlapping pathophysiological factors. For health prevention and promotion, actions are necessary to understand the most common risk combinations. Objective Describe noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) clusters and investigate specific multimorbidity combinations in Brazilian adults and older adults. Method This study used data from Vigitel 2013 survey held in the Brazilian capitals (52,929 interviews). A self-report of diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity was used. The analyses were the descriptive cluster of NCDs and an adjusted binary logistic regression (odds ratio [OR]), stratified by age. Results Among adults, the clusters of diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity (O/E = 18.74) and diabetes, hypertension, and obesity (O/E = 16.83) were higher. There was a higher clustering between diabetes and obesity (O/E = 7.25). Among adults, diabetes was associated with dyslipidemia (OR: 3.04), hypertension (OR: 3.84), and hypertension with obesity (OR: 3.34). In older adults, hypertension was associated with diabetes (OR: 2.79), dyslipidemia (OR: 2.06), and obesity (OR: 2.26). Conclusion Other diseases combined with diabetes and hypertension were more frequent in adults and older adults. It is suggested to combine preventive and control measures for these diseases for the non-occurrence of new diagnoses.

Resumo Introdução A saúde apresenta condições dinâmicas e fatores fisiopatológicos sobrepostos. Para ações de prevenção e promoção da saúde é necessário entender as combinações comuns de risco. Objetivo Descrever os agrupamentos de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) e investigar combinações específicas de multimorbidade em adultos e idosos no Brasil. Método Este estudo utilizou dados da pesquisa Vigitel 2013, realizada nas capitais brasileiras (total de 52.929 entrevistas). Foi utilizado um relato de diabetes, dislipidemia, hipertensão e obesidade. Nas análises foram utilizados o agrupamento descritivo de DCNT e uma regressão logística binária ajustada (razão de odds [RO]), estratificada por idade. Resultados Entre os adultos, os grupos de diabetes, dislipidemia, hipertensão e obesidade (O / E = 18,74), bem como diabetes, hipertensão e obesidade (O / E = 16,83) foram maiores. Nos idosos, houve maior agrupamento entre diabetes e obesidade (O / E = 7,25). Entre os adultos, o diabetes foi associado à dislipidemia (RO: 3,04) e hipertensão (RO: 3,84), enquanto a hipertensão à obesidade (RO: 3,34). Nos idosos, a hipertensão foi associada a diabetes (RO: 2,79), dislipidemia (RO: 2,06) e obesidade (RO: 2,26). Conclusão Os agrupamentos de outras doenças combinadas com diabetes e hipertensão foram mais frequentes em adultos e idosos. Sugere-se que além das medidas existentes de prevenção para essas doenças também sejam propostas medidas de controle para a não ocorrência de novos diagnósticos.

Insights on the terminology and on some pathophysiological aspects of cluster headache and related conditions / Insights sobre a terminologia e alguns aspectos fisiopatológicos da cefaléia em salvas e condições relacionadas

Introduction: Cluster headache and the more recently reported "related conditions",namely Chronic Paroxysmal Hemicrania, Short lasting, unilateral, Neuralgiform Headache with Conjunctival Injection and Tearing (SUNCT) Syndrome and (possibly also) Hemicrania Continua, are one of the fascinating groups of conditions in Neurology whose cardinal features are the almost absolute unilaterality of pain, its excruciating severity, besides the prominent mainly facial autonomic disturbances and overall the intriguing biorhythmicity. Beyond any doubt, the progress of our knowledge about the mechanisms of these conditions has been considerable, but there is always room for reflection on where we are and where we can go. Objective: The objectives of the present study are to analyze the metrics of publications on the pathophysiology of these conditions, to explore in detail how proper the term "Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalgia" is, and to comment on their numerous synonyms. Comment: Much is needed to know the exact structures and circuitry involved in the pathophysiology of these conditions; accordingly, a non-compromising and just descriptive term might be useful. Along this line of reasoning and bearing in mind the cardinal points of such conditions, namely, pain in the trigeminal territory, prominent autonomic symptoms, prominent chronobiological features, and the excruciating character of the pain, a terminological possibility would be: Unilateral with Prominent Rhythmicity and Autonomic Symptoms Excrutiating Cephalgia (UPRASEC).

Introdução: Cefaleia em salvas e as "condições relacionadas" relatadas mais recentemente, nomeadamente Hemicrania Paroxística Crónica, Cefaleia Neuralgiforme unilateral de curta duração com Síndrome de Injecção e Lacrimejamento Conjuntival (SUNCT) e (possivelmente também) Hemicrania Continua, são um dos grupos fascinantes de condições em Neurologia cujas características cardinais são a unilateralidade quase absoluta da dor, sua gravidade excruciante, além dos proeminentes distúrbios autonômicos principalmente faciais e, em geral, da intrigante biorritmicidade. Sem dúvida, o progresso do nosso conhecimento sobre os mecanismos destas condições tem sido considerável, mas há sempre espaço para reflexão sobre onde estamos e para onde podemos ir. Objetivo: Os objetivos do presente estudo são analisar as métricas das publicações sobre a fisiopatologia dessas condições, explorar detalhadamente o quão adequado é o termo "Cefalgia Autonômica Trigeminal" e comentar seus numerosos sinônimos. Comentário: É necessário muito conhecimento das estruturas e circuitos exatos envolvidos na fisiopatologia dessas condições; consequentemente, um termo não comprometedor e apenas descritivo pode ser útil. Nessa linha de raciocínio e tendo em mente os pontos cardeais de tais condições, a saber, dor no território trigêmeo, sintomas autonômicos proeminentes, características cronobiológicas proeminentes e o caráter excruciante da dor, uma possibilidade terminológica seria: Unilateral com Ritmicidade Proeminente e sintomas autonômicos excruciantes da cefalgia (UPRASEC).
