ABSTRACT

This work is based on the study of the quality of the application process of the vaccine via the skin against the SARS-COV-2 virus in Mexico, during the period from January to July 2021, through the application of associated statistical methods statistical quality control and process capacity studies. The vaccination process is described as a random variable with binomial distribution, analyzing its behavior on the application of these vaccines through an np control chart, to quantify the number of wasted doses with respect to the total of applied and a capacity study of binomial processes to determine the quality of this specific activity through sigma levels as established in the 6-sigma methodology. The study included the application period from January 19 to July 11, 2021, following up on the Official Reports and Reports of the Secretary of Health and obtaining the database from their respective portals. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

ABSTRACT

The inclusion of people with special abilities is not only a right but also a moral duty on the part of the state, this research aims to describe the level of inclusive knowledge in teachers of different educational levels in Peru in times of Covid-19. The research is descriptive, correlational, predictive and quantitative, achieving an online survey of 520 teachers at the initial, primary, secondary, university and postgraduate levels, the measurement instrument consists of 25 questions divided into five blocks on knowledge of ICT in visual, hearing, cognitive, motor and web accessibility disabilities, using a five-point Likert-type scale. The statistical data showed a very good Cronbach's Alpha, as well as significant results in different statistical tests. The results of this research revealed that ICT knowledge for visual impairment, cognitive impairment, motor impairment and web accessibility has a low level while for the level ICT knowledge for hearing impairment has a high level. Concluding that there is a significant gap between disabilities, teacher knowledge about inclusive education in educational levels in Covid-19 times has a low. The teacher has a high level of ICT proficiency at all educational levels and the motivation to use ICT is regular because many applications and software are of limited access © 2022.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Minimal change disease (MCD) is a major cause of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) which is composed of heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema. It represents 15% of idiopathic NS in adults and the proportion of cases decreases with age as other entities such as membranous nephropathy become more common. Kidney damage associated with Toxicodendron species toxicity is quite rare but there are three lesions already described: proliferative glomerulonephritis, arteritis and membranous nephropathy. Here we report a case of MCD associated to Toxicodendron toxicity. Methods: A 47 year old mexican woman with no history of chronic diseases was referred to the nephrology office. She has a positive familiar history for diabetes and hypertension and she was recently vaccinated for COVID-19. She was referred for proteinuria incidentally found during routine tests three months ago which has been persistent on urinary testing afterwards, she recalls a Toxicodendron spp (poison ivy) exposure which led to an self-limited dermatitis 5 days before the first urinary test was taken. Initial workup showed 3.54 gr/24h proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia (3.2 gr/L) and hypercholesterolemia (256 mg/dl) and a nephrotic syndrome diagnosis was made. Further testing included negative HIV, HCV and HBV serology, normal C3 and C4 levels and negative anti-PLA2R, P-ANCA, C-ANCA, antinuclear antibodies. Normal kidneys were visualized on ultrasound. A kidney biopsy was performed and reported a minimal change disease. Steroid glucocorticoids was administered with methylprednisolone for three days and she was discharged with oral glucocorticoid for maintenance. On ambulatory follow up the patient had a dramatic improvement of the proteinuria. Results: A 47 year old woman developed proteinuria a few days after ivy poison exposure with a subsequent nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsy shows a minimal change disease and good glucocorticoid response was met. Conclusions: Our hypothesis is that ivy poison exposure is directly involved in MCD onset in this patient. No conflict of interest

ABSTRACT

Background: The advance of the pandemic in the large cities of the world with great virulence and the apparent heterogeneous distribution by factors of vulnerability, led us to propose this work. The objective of this study was to relate COVID-19 infection rates to the social vulnerability of the city of Madrid by district, in two different episodes, spring 2020 and summer 2020. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study. Taking sociodemographic data of the entire population of the city of Madrid between the months of April and October 2020, together with the cumulative incidence rates of COVID-19, a linear regression analysis, correlation and factor analysis was carried out, relating the cumulative incidence rate of COVID-19 and the vulnerability indicator of the districts of the city of Madrid. Results: The results showed important differences between the two episodes of the pandemic: on one hand, the first had more relationship with health factors, while in the second, a relationship appeared with the groups of greater social vulnerability, territorially located in the South-East of the City and related in this case to social factors rather than health. Thus we see that the TIA x 100,000 in the first episode in Chamberi and Usera-two extreme districts in vulnerability-were 896 and 843 cases respectively, while in the second they were 3,708 and 6,258 cases. Conclusions: The territorial differences in the city become evident with the arrival of a generalised, universal event such as COVID-19, where vulnerability increases for everyone, with greater repercussions in those territories where it already had an impact.

ABSTRACT

Due to all the changes in the educational paradigm and the restrictions in social relationships due to this new post-COVID-19 reality, this study is aimed at determining the motivation levels towards Physical Education of following the self-determination theory of Ryan & Deci (2012). Also, the influence of the non-curricular physical activity on the three psychological necessities gathered in the self-determination theory (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness) will be analyzed. 300 students from three Valencian schools voluntarily participated in the study. Students from 12 to 17 years old were included (mean: 13.93, standard deviation: 1.32). 72.7% of the students practice non-curricular physical activities and 27.3 don't practice. Statistically significant differences were encountered in the three psychological dimensions assessed (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness) between the students who practice non-curricular physical activity and those who not. Also, a significant correlation was observed between the three tested dimensions. It is also worth mentioning that relatedness is the dimension obtaining higher motivation values (4.07 out of 5 maximum points on a Likert scale). The results of the present study suggest that students who present higher motivation in one area, also present higher motivation in the other two areas. This research highlights the importance of non-curricular physical activity as a crucial factor influencing the motivation of high-school students in Physical Education.

ABSTRACT

With the continuously increasing number of positive cases of COVID-19 in the country, government authorities were left with no alternative but to enforce strict and stringent protective measures to conform to the "new normal". People counter system is the most used vison-based measurement system especially in monitoring hourly footfalls and peak times of customers throughout the day. This type of measurement system is very crucial especially when it comes to crowd control. The general objective of this study is to develop a system that monitors the number of people entering and leaving an establishment via image processing/object tracking using YOLO v3 algorithm to make sure that the maximum capacity of people allowed inside an establishment according to IATF and DTI standards for social distancing purposes is followed and observed. © 2021 ACM.

ABSTRACT

Coronavirus disease-2019 (Covid-19) nonpharmaceutical interventions have proven effective control measures for a range of respiratory illnesses throughout the world. These measures, which include isolation, stringent border controls, physical distancing and improved hygiene also have effects on other human pathogens, including parasitic enteric diseases such as cryptosporidiosis. Cryptosporidium infections in humans are almost entirely caused by two species: C. hominis, which is primarily transmitted from human to human, and Cryptosporidium parvum, which is mainly zoonotic. By monitoring Cryptosporidium species and subtype families in human cases of cryptosporidiosis before and after the introduction of Covid-19 control measures in New Zealand, we found C. hominis was completely absent after the first months of 2020 and has remained so until the beginning of 2021. Nevertheless, C. parvum has followed its typical transmission pattern and continues to be widely reported. We conclude that ~7 weeks of isolation during level 3 and 4 lockdown period interrupted the human to human transmission of C. hominis leaving only the primarily zoonotic transmission pathway used by C. parvum. Secondary anthroponotic transmission of C. parvum remains possible among close contacts of zoonotic cases. Ongoing 14-day quarantine measures for new arrivals to New Zealand have likely suppressed new incursions of C. hominis from overseas. Our findings suggest that C. hominis may be controlled or even eradicated through nonpharmaceutical interventions.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe the most outstanding aspects in children and adolescents with acute symptomatic crisis or diagnosis of epilepsy in times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The information was collected in PubMed/Medline, Scielo and Clinical Key databases using the keywords included in the Descriptor of Health Sciences in English or Spanish language, with not time limit, and looking for all kind of publications. There were selected articles related to epilepsy, epileptic seizures and COVID-19. Results: In the consulted literature, it was justified the occurrence of epileptic seizures due to different causes in patients with COVID-19 and it is highlighted the therapeutic behaviour and the need of surveillance of the pharmacologic interactions among the drugs indicated for the prevention of epileptic seizures and the specific of this new disease. Based in these precepts, we present a final proposal for the behaviour to follow in each situation. Final considerations: It is proved the possibility of neurologic complications in patients with COVID-19 and specifically in the epileptic seizures and epilepsy. The use of interferon and lopinavir/ritonavir, in case of being indicated in the action protocols, and to keep the previous treatment with the drugs to prevent the recurrence of crisis in epileptic patients considering the possible interactions and the required surveillance in each case, seems to be the best option in most of the children and adolescents with COVID-19. © 2020, Editorial Ciencias Medicas.
