RESUMO

Immigrants experience a high risk of mental health deterioration following settlement in Canada. Immigrant communities benefit from health-promoting interventions that stimulate social inclusion and belonging as protective factors. In this context, community gardens have been recognized as interventions that promote healthy behaviours, place attachment and belonging.This article summarizes our experience conducting a community-based participatory evaluation (CBPE), engaging community stakeholders in planning, implementing and evaluating a community garden for immigrants. We conducted a CBPE to provide relevant and timely feedback to inform programme adaptation and development. Participants, interpreters and organizers were engaged through surveys, focus groups and semi-structured interviews. Participants expressed a range of motivations, benefits, challenges and recommendations. The garden was a place that fostered learning and promoted healthy behaviours, including physical activity and socialization. However, there were challenges in organization and communication with participants. Findings were used to adapt the activities to immigrants' needs and expand the programming of collaborating organizations. Stakeholder engagement facilitated capacity building and direct use of findings. This approach may catalyse sustainable community action with immigrant communities.

RESUMO

Spending more time outdoors can improve children's social and cognitive development, physical activity, and vision. Our systematic review summarized the determinants of outdoor time (OT) based on the social-ecological model. We searched nine databases: MEDLINE, APA PsycINFO, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, ERIC, SocINDEX, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. To be included, studies needed to be quantitative and longitudinal, include ≥1 potential determinant of OT among 0- to 17-year-olds, and be published in English, French, Japanese, or Spanish. We extracted the authors, publication year, country, design, sample size, OT measures, follow-up period, potential determinants, main results, and potential moderators or mediators. Fifty-five studies examining 119 potential determinants met the inclusion criteria. OT was consistently higher in warmer seasons and among participants reporting more OT at baseline. All three interventions that included both parent sessions and additional resources to promote OT (e.g., specific advice and community guides) were effective. COVID-19 restrictions and sun safety interventions discouraging midday outdoor activities led to less OT. The quality of evidence was rated as weak for 46 studies. Most potential determinants were examined in ≤3 studies; thus, more longitudinal studies are needed to enable stronger conclusions about the consistency of evidence and meta-analyses.

RESUMO

Exposure to nature has been suggested to promote immigrants' health and facilitate adaptation. This review summarizes previous research focusing on the relationship between nature and immigrants' integration, wellbeing and physical activity. A search strategy was developed and adapted to seven databases. After removing duplicates, 4861 records were screened, 81 met inclusion criteria. Community gardens and urban parks were the most studied environments. In these settings, embodied experiences (the interactive processes of sensing and cognition) can foster new memories that facilitate adaptation and attachment to new natural environments. Social interaction and reconnecting with pre-migration experiences through specific use patterns can promote cultural continuation, sense of belonging and wellbeing. Other health benefits such as physical activity, disease management and improved nutrition were less frequently studied. Barriers to participation and recommendations for research and practice were also identified. Use of stronger study designs and greater inclusion of immigrant groups in research, design and evaluation of nature-based initiatives is needed.

RESUMO

Los delitos contra la libertad e indemnidad sexual son hechos producidos a diario en nuestro país y son expresión de una sociedad decadente en valores; son, a la vez, fenómenos de alarma social, debido a que los medios de comunicación los enfocan como un elemento de la problemática social. La violencia sexual es un problema de salud pública en nuestro país y muchos otros. Existen múltiples definiciones para los términos: violencia, violación, abuso o delito contra la libertad sexual, todos referidos a este acto, en el que básicamente se afecta la voluntad y libertad sexual de la víctima. Finalmente, al constituirse estos actos en delitos, también deben tener sanciones propias del mismo, todas dependientes de procesos jurídico-penales...

RESUMO

Determinar las caracteristícas de las lesiones himeneales y lesiones genitales, paragenitales y extragenitales. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo prospectivo de enero a diciembre del 2013. Resultados: Se realizaron 47 RML Ginecólogicos por delitos contra la libertad sexual. El 38,29% (18/47) correspondio a peritadas entre 15 a 17 años. Los hallazgos fueron: himen Integro (18,92%), himen complaciente (8,11%), defloración reciente (8,11%) y defloración antigua (72,97%), entre otros hallazgos. Conclusión: Las desfloraciones antiguas pueden tener lesiones himeneales nuevas, ello debido al diámetro del orificio himenal, existiendo mayor frecuencia cuando el orificio himenal es pequeño y mediano; a diferencia de cuando el orificio himeneal es grande o muy elástico (himen complaciente) que crea dificultades en el reconocimiento de lesiones...


To determine hymenal injuries and genital, paragenital and extragenital lesions. Material and Methods: A prospective descriptive study was conducted January to December 2013. Results: 47 MLR were performed gynecological for crimes against sexual freedom; 38.29 % (18/47) corresponded to women between 15-17 years. The findings were: Integro hymen (18.92 %), willing hymen (8.11 %), Recent deflowering (8.11 %) and old deflowering (72.97 %), among others findings. Conclusion: Older Defloration hymens may have new lesions, this due to the diameter of the hymenal orifice, there most often when the hymenal orifice is small to medium; unlike when the hymen hole is large or very elastic we face a complacent hymen which creates difficulties in recognizing injuries...

RESUMO

We investigated the effects of Hibiscus sabdariffa Linnaeus (HSL)-fed infusion on the fatty acid (FA) profile in liver of metabolic syndrome (MS) rats and its possible effect on vascular reactivity. Body mass, intra-abdominal fat, triglycerides, insulin, blood pressure, saturated, monounsaturated FA, NEFAs, Δ(9)-, Δ(6)-desaturases and vasoconstriction were increased, while vasorelaxation, polyunsaturated FA, endothelial nitric oxide and [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] ratio decreased in MS versus Control, but HSL infusion modified it and increased Δ(5)-desaturase. The results suggest that the alteration in FA liver metabolism in the MS contributes to impaired vascular reactivity, but treatment with of HSL infusion can improve this condition.

RESUMO

Se comunican las características clínicas de una mujer de 68 años de edad y sus dos hijas (36 y 33 años) que presentaban un conjunto de anomalías de probable origen hereditario. Se les efectuaron interconsultas con varias especialidades: medicina interna, genética, cardiología, radiología, angiología, psiquiatría, dermatología, otorrinolaringología, máxilo-facial, oftalmología y neurología. Los hallazgos comunes a las tres pacientes consistieron en tortuosidad de los vasos retinianos, glaucoma crónico de ángulo abierto, braquidactilias y otros dismorfismos en dedos de manos y pies, hallux valgus, telangiectasias en mejillas y tórax superior, orejas en ®asa», hiperostosis frontal, tórax excavado e insuficiencia mitral. El glaucoma neovascular se presentó en un ojo de cada hija. Este complejo padecimiento clínico, con alteraciones en miembros, faciales, cardiovasculares, oculares y en piel con una posible herencia de tipo autosómico dominante por su presencia en dos generaciones sucesivas, no se corresponde con ningún síndrome de los considerados en este informe


Presentation of the clinical characteristics of a 68-year-old woman and her two daughters, aged 36 and 33, who had a number of abnormalities of probable hereditary origin. Interconsultations were conducted with several specialties: internal medicine, genetics, cardiology, radiology, angiology, psychiatry, dermatology, otorhinolaryngology, maxillofacial, ophthalmology and neurology. The findings common to the three patients were retinal arterial tortuosity, chronic open angle glaucoma, brachydactyly and other dysmorphic disorders of fingers and toes, hallux valgus, telangiectasia in cheeks and upper thorax, protruding ears, frontal hyperostosis, pectus excavatum and mitral insufficiency. Both daughters had neovascular glaucoma in one of their eyes. This complex clinical condition, with disorders involving limbs, face, the cardiovascular system, eyes and skin, and a potential autosomal dominant inheritance in view of its presence in two successive generations, does not correspond to any of the syndromes considered in this report

RESUMO

Caso clínico: se informa el caso de una pareja de gemelas dicigóticas con diagnóstico de glaucoma crónico de ángulo estrecho en 2004, cuyol padre murió ciego; una hija de una de ellas fue diagnosticada posteriormente como afectada de glaucoma crónico de ángulo abierto. Se determinó la cigosidad de las gemelas mediante protocolo establecido al respecto. En los 4 ojos de las pacientes se determinaron presiones intraoculares por aplanación en cifras que fluctuaban entre 26-32 mmHg, cámaras anteriores y ángulos camerulares estrechos, perimetrías computarizadas tubulares en 3 ojos respetando los 5° centrales y en otro tubular que respetaba los 10° centrales con atrofias ópticas en evolución en los 4 ojos. Se efectuó trabeculectomía bilateral en ambas pacientes y se mantuvo el control de su enfermedad glaucomatosa. Conclusiones: se plantea la necesidad de la búsqueda de otros afectados en un núcleo familiar donde se diagnostiquen pacientes con glaucoma crónico de ángulo estrecho(AU)


Clinical case: here is the case of a dizygotic twin pair diagnosed with chronic narrow-angle glaucoma in 2994. Their father had died blind and a daughter of one of them was later diagnosed as a chronic open-angle glaucoma patient. A specific protocol allowed determining the zygocity of the twins. The intraocular pressures in the four eyes of the patients were measured with applanation tonometry and ranged 26-32 mmHg, narrow anterior chambers and camerular angles, computerized tubular perimetries in three eyes around central 5° and another tubular perimetry of central 10°, with developing atrophies in the four eyes. Both patients underwent bilateral trabeculectomy and the control over their glaucoma disease was kept. Conclusions: It is necessary to look for other people affected in a family setting where there exists diagnosis of chronic narrow-angle glaucoma(AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Cross-modal plasticity has been extensively studied in deaf adults with neuroimaging studies, yielding valuable results. A recent study in our laboratory with deaf-blind children found evidence of cross-modal plasticity, revealed in over-representation of median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP N20) in left hemisphere parietal, temporal and occipital regions. This finding led to asking whether SEP N20 changes are peculiar to deaf-blindness or are also present in sighted deaf children. OBJECTIVE: Assess cross-modal plasticity in deaf child cochlear implant candidates using neurophysiological techniques (visual evoked potentials and median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials). METHODS: Participants were 14 prelingually deaf children assessed in the Cuban Cochlear Implant Program. Flash visual-evoked potentials and SEP N20 were recorded at 19 scalp recording sites. Topographic maps were obtained and compared to those of control group children with normal hearing. Analysis took into account duration of hearing loss. RESULTS: Topographic maps of flash visual-evoked potentials did not show changes in deaf child cochlear implant candidates. However, SEP N20 from right median nerve stimulation did show changes from expansion of cortical activation into the left temporal region in deaf children aged ≥7 years, which was interpreted as neurophysiological evidence of cross-modal plasticity, not previously described for this technique and type of somatosensory stimulus. We interpret this finding as due in part to duration of deafness, particularly related to handedness, since expansion was selective for the left hemisphere in the children, who were all right-handed. CONCLUSIONS: Cortical over-representation of SEP N20 in the left temporal region is interpreted as evidence of cross-modal plasticity that occurs if the deaf child does not receive a cochlear implant early in life-before concluding the critical period of neural development-and relies on sign language for communication.
