ABSTRACT

Introducción: La Insuficiencia cardiaca avanzada genera deterioro clínico y funcional marcado en el paciente. A través del tiempo se han desarrollado investigaciones para evaluar síntomas y aliviar el sufrimiento. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo identificar los clúster de síntomas en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca avanzada, que puedan contribuir en la consolidación del conocimiento. Materiales y Métodos: Una estrategia PICO estableció la pregunta clave de revisión desarrollada, mediante PRISMA, con búsquedas en: Scopus, Pubmed, Embase y Google Scholar. Se incluyeron artículos de fuente primaria, insuficiencia cardiaca avanzada, publicados 2010 ­ 2019 en inglés y español, se excluye población pediátrica. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos de los síntomas encontrados. Resultados: De 8000 estudios, fueron incluidos 11 para revisión completa, la mayoría de corte transversal, cuyas características de la muestra corresponde 50% hombres, entre 56 y 83 años. Se identificaron en el clúster físico síntomas: fatiga, dificultad para dormir, disnea; en el cluster emocional se identifican: Depresión, deterioro cognitivo y preocupación, además se encontró evaluación de síntomas por región geográfica. Discusión: Existe un consenso en la clasificación de síntomas en grupos denominados físico y emocional, llama la atención que el edema en algunos casos no está incluido en ellos. Limitaciones: Se incluyeron dos estudios del mismo autor en diferente año de publicación, población y los clúster son los mismos, pero con análisis de variables como calidad de vida y estado funcional. Conclusión: Diversidad de poblaciones, tipos de estudio y métodos de análisis, no permiten un único enfoque para agrupación de los síntomas más frecuentes en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca avanzada.


Introduction: Advanced heart failure leads to severe clinical and functional deterioration in patients. Over the years, research has been focused on the evaluation of symptoms and alleviation of suffering. This study aims to identify symptom clusters among patients with advanced heart failure in order to contribute towards knowledge consolidation. Materials and Methods: The PICO strategy helps define the key review question developed through PRISMA, involving searches in Scopus, PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar. Primary source articles on advanced heart failure which had been published between 2010 and 2019 in English and Spanish, excluding the pediatric population, were considered for this review. We carried out a descriptive analysis of the symptoms found in the articles. Results: A total of 11 out of 8000 studies were selected for a complete review, most of them are cross-sectional studies in which sample characterization corresponds to 50% of men aged 56 to 83 years. Fatigue, sleeping difficulty and dyspnea were some of the symptoms found in the physical symptom cluster, while depression, cognitive deterioration and concern were found in the emotional symptom cluster. Evaluations of symptoms by geographic region were also found. Discussion: There is a general consensus about the classification of symptoms in physical and emotional clusters. However, it is surprising to find out that edema is not included in any of them. Limitations: Two studies from the same author but published in different years were included in the review as the population and clusters were the same but different variables such as quality of life and functional status were studied. Conclusion: Having diverse populations, study types and analysis methods do not allow applying a single approach to grouping the most frequent symptoms in patients with advanced heart failure.

ABSTRACT

El propósito principal del estudio es determinar la percepción que tienen los pacientes acerca del cuidado brindado por el profesional de enfermería, con los factores de falta de compromiso, interacción familia/paciente, cortesía y relación. MÉTODO: Estudio descriptivo, transversal en el que participaron 152 pacientes, obtenidos mediante muestreo no probabilístico intencional o por conveniencia. La recolección de las características sociodemográficas de usuarios y profesionales de enfermería se apoya en un cuestionario con preguntas estructuradas. La información de percepción del paciente se recolecta mediante entrevistas utilizando el Instrumento "Cuidado de comportamiento profesional""forma A", validado por otra autora. RESULTADOS: Los hallazgos evidencian que el 80,26% de los pacientes respondieron nunca han percibido que el profesional de enfermería no realizara actividades tendientes al cuidado del paciente; el 28,95% percibe que algunas veces la enfermera(o) realiza actividades de relación con los pacientes y sus familiares; el 55.26% de los encuestados considera que casi siempre la enfermera(o) tiene una actitud cariñosa y auténtica hacia el paciente; el 53,29% aseguraron que casi siempre la enfermera(o) utiliza las herramientas para mantener una relación efectiva. CONCLUSIONES: Los pacientes, en su mayoría, perciben que el cuidado brindado por el profesional de enfermería es bueno. Sin embargo, hay una porción significativa que percibe que el servicio es regular en el aspecto de la interacción familia/paciente, específicamente en cuanto al conocimiento y respeto de las creencias religiosas. Hay que fortalecer esto para mejorar el acto de cuidado


The main purpose was to determine the patients' perception about the care provided by nursing professional, regarding issues related with lack of compromise factors, family/patient interaction, courtesy and respect. METHOD: A descriptive, transversal studythat included 152 patients, obtained by intentional or convenience non-probabilistic sampling. The recollection of socio-demographic characteristics of users and nursing professional is supported by a questionnaire with structured questions. The patients'perception information is collected through interviews using the Professional behavior care instrument "form A", validated by another author. RESULTS: The findings show that 80.26% of the patients responded they never perceived that the nursing professional did not perform activities favoring patient care; 28.95% perceive that sometimes the nurse performs activities to relate with the patients and their families; 55.26% of the respondents consider that the nurse almost always has a loving and authentic attitude towards the patient; 53.29% said that most of the time the nurse uses tools to maintain an effective relationship with them. CONCLUSIONS: Patients, generally, perceive that the care provided by the nursing professional is good; however, a significantportion emphasized that the service is regular on the family-patient interaction, specifically in terms of knowledge and respect of religious beliefs. This must be strengthened to improve care act.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to determine the production of bacteriocins in the Streptococcus mutans strains isolated from children with and without dental caries. With this purpose the dmft index was determined and non-stimulated saliva was collected from 53 3- to 5-year-old children. The samples were cultured on Mitis Salivarius Bacitracin agar and incubated anaerobically for two days at 37 degrees C. The isolates were biotyped using the Api-ZYM enzymatic system (bioMérieux; Marcy-lE'toile, France). Bacteriocin was detected using the double layer onto brain heart infusion agar technique and the minimal inhibitory concentrations of the isolates were evaluated against penicillin, amoxycillin, cefazolin, erythromycin, clindamycin, imipenem and vancomycin using an agar dilution method. The dental caries experience in these children was 66% (35/53) and dmft index average was 3.2 (range 2-6). S. mutans was found in the saliva of 33 children (62%). In the 33 strains of S. mutans, 10 biotypes were found. Eight (24%) of the 33 strains evaluated produced bacteriocins, 6 of these strains came from patients with dental caries and the other two from patients without dental caries. All isolates were highly sensitive to the antibiotics tested.

ABSTRACT

This study identified differences in the epidemiology of Giardia and Cryptosporidium infection for low-income populations residing on the United States-Mexico border. Participation included 77 households in three communities lacking adequate municipal water and sewage services. The household was the unit of analysis and sampling was from household biosolid waste from newly installed composting toilets. The proportion of households positive for Giardia and Cryptosporidium was high, 82% and 70%, respectively, and this was in contrast to the few households (14%) reporting at least one individual with diarrhea symptoms. This finding indicated that most of the participant families were chronically infected but asymptomatic. In the multivariate analysis, there was a statistically significant protective effect for Cryptosporidium in those households that purified drinking water but not for Giardia. Those households with children less than five years of age were 1.3 times at risk for Giardia infection. Our findings highlighted differences in the transmission mode of these two pathogens and underscore the need for interventions addressing hygiene, water supply, and sanitation.

ABSTRACT

For this study, we isolated Helicobacter pylori from wastewater by a series of steps beginning with immunomagnetic separation and cell culture. After Gram staining and three standard microbial tests, the 16S rRNA sequences of a total of 23 out of 37 putative H. pylori isolates were verified by PCR. Eleven H. pylori isolates were genotyped and fell into four vacA classes: those with the vacA allelic variants s1a and m1, s1b and m1, s2 and m2, or s2 and m1. Most H. pylori isolates were of the vacA s1a/m1 type, which has been shown to be associated with advanced diseases based on genotyping of H. pylori from gastric cancer patients. These results demonstrated that H. pylori survives in water and may be a potential source of H. pylori transmission, especially where water is not adequately treated.
