Musicoterapia en pacientes con la COVID-19

Introducción: La musicoterapia puede ser utilizada para influenciar en el estado físico y emocional de pacientes diagnosticados con la COVID-19. Se realiza una revisión sistemática exploratoria que incluye estudios observacionales y ensayos clínicos; Pubmed y Scopus fueron las bases de datos empleadas para la realización de la búsqueda. Además, se incluyen registros de ensayos clínicos de la Plataforma de Registros Internacionales de Ensayos Clínicos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Objetivo: Explorar la literatura médica disponible, sobre el impacto clínico de la musicoterapia en pacientes diagnosticados con la COVID-19. Desarrollo: De 39 documentos encontrados se incluyen 2 artículos: un ensayo clínico y un reporte de caso, con una población total de 41 pacientes. Se encuentra evidencia médica que respalda el impacto clínico favorable sobre la saturación de oxígeno, rehabilitación física y síntomas asociados al estrés en pacientes con diagnóstico de la COVID-19 con y sin requerimiento de soporte ventilatorio. Conclusiones: La musicoterapia es una herramienta útil en el tratamiento y rehabilitación no farmacológica de pacientes con la COVID-19; sin embargo, son necesarios nuevos estudios clínicos con mayor número de poblaciones muestrales y mayor tiempo de seguimiento.

Background: Music therapy can be used to influence the physical and emotional state of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. An exploratory systematic review was carried out including observational studies and clinical trials, Pubmed and Scopus were the databases used to carry out the literature search. In addition, clinical trial registries from the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform are included. Objective: To explore the available medical literature on the clinical impact of music therapy in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Development: Of 39 documents found in the search, two articles are included: a clinical trial and a case report, with a total population of 41 patients. Medical evidence is found to support the favorable clinical impact on oxygen saturation, physical rehabilitation and symptoms associated with stress in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 with and without the need for ventilatory support. Conclusions: Music therapy is a useful tool in the non-pharmacological treatment and rehabilitation of patients with COVID-19. However, new clinical studies with a larger number of sample populations and follow-up times using music therapy in this disease are necessary.

Caracterización de términos y factores epidemiológicos relacionados con las infecciones asociadas a la atención en salud en pediatría, Bogotá, D. C., 2017 / Characterization of terms and epidemiological factors related to infections associated with health care in pediatrics, Bogotá, D. C., 2017 / Caracterização de termos e fatores epidemiológicos relacionados a infecções associadas à assistência à saúde em pediatria, Bogotá, D. C., 2017

Introducción: se denomina infección asociada a la atención en salud (IAAS) a toda infección contraída por un paciente durante su tratamiento en un hospital, y que dicho paciente no tenía ni estaba incubando en el momento de su ingreso. En el mundo afectan a uno de cada 20 pacientes hospitalizados; en Colombia, la incidencia es del 5,9 % del total de pacientes hospitalizados. Objetivos: describir las características de las IAAS en pediatría y caracterizar los términos utilizados durante la atención de pacientes pediátricos con IAAS. Fecha y lugar: Clínica Juan N. Corpas, julio de 2016- julio de 2017. Métodos: estudio descriptivo dividido en tres fases; fase 1: se realizó una búsqueda sistemática sobre IAAS en pediatría en EBSCO, PubMed y LILACS; fase 2: se diseñaron casos clínicos de infecciones, los cuales fueron entregados a profesionales de la salud, como médicos pediatras y neonatos, médicos generales y enfermeras, y a personal administrativo, como auditores que tuvieran contacto con la población pediátrica; se les solicitó que hicieran un breve análisis de los casos para concebir un modelo teórico de factores predictivos o presentes al momento del diagnóstico; fase 3: se revisaron los registros de pacientes con diagnóstico de IAAS durante el periodo 2014-2016, y se identificaron las características demográficas, sociales y clínicas de esos pacientes. Se calcularon frecuencias y los datos cualitativos se analizaron mediante Atlas ti 8.0. Resultados: en la búsqueda sistemática se identificaron términos predictivos de IAAS comunes en las tres bases de datos, como neonatos, sexo masculino, cirugía, entre otros; se obtuvieron términos utilizados por profesionales de la salud que coincidían con los hallados en la literatura científica y, por último, se identificaron y se analizaron los casos de IAAS de una clínica de III Nivel, a raíz de lo cual se encontró una tasa de IAAS de 0,46 por cada 100 egresos hospitalarios. Conclusión: existen términos que pueden ser interpretados como factores predictivos para contribuir al diagnóstico temprano de una IAAS

Introduction: Infections Associated With Health Care (IAHC) are all infections contracted by a patient during treatment in a hospital or other health center, and that said patient was not and was not incubating at the time of admission. In the world, 1 in 20 inpatients are affected, and in Colombia the incidence is 5.9 % of all hospitalized patients. Objective: To describe the characteristics of IAAS in pediatrics and to characterize the terms used during the care of pediatric patients with IAAS. Date and place: Juan N. Corpas Clinic, July 2016-July 2017. Methods: Descriptive study divided into three phases; Phase 1: A systematic search was performed on IAAS in pediatrics in EBSCO, PubMed and LILACS; Phase 2: clinical cases of infections were designed, which were delivered to health professionals who had contact with the pediatric population, requesting that they make a brief analysis of the cases to make a theoretical model of predictive or present factors at the time of diagnosis, phase 3: the records of patients diagnosed with IAAS during the period between 2014-2016 were reviewed and the demographic, social and clinical characteristics of these patients were identified. Frequencies were calculated and the qualitative data were analyzed Atlas ti 8.0. Results: In the systematic search, predictive terms of common IAAS were identified in the three databases as neonates, male sex, surgery among others, terms used by health professionals were obtained that coincided with those found in the scientific literature and finally were identified and analyzed the IAAS cases of a third level clinic, finding an IAAS rate of 0.46 per 100 hospital discharges. Conclusion: There are terms that can be interpreted as predictive factors contributing to the early diagnosis of an IAAS.

Effects of additional agitation process on the spectrophotometric profiles of homeopathic high dilutions

INTRODUCTION: Conventional homeopathy advocates giving 10 strokes (agitation/succussions) to a prescription bottle containing liquid dilution, before taking it. To scientifically support such activity, it must be based on studies on the physicochemical aspects of the memory of water and agitated water chains, supplemented with spectrometry. OBJECTIVE: To analyze spectrometric profiles of homeopathic high dilutions, comparing additionally agitated and non-agitated dilutions, and to define differences according to each dilution´s kingdom. METHODOLOGY: Homeopathic dilutions were prepared using a ratio of 1:100 obtaining dilutions from 1cH to 15cH. Measurements of absorbance of 15cH dilutions were performed at 340 nm and 200 nm, with and without additional agitation. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were found between agitated and non-agitated dilutions (p <0.05) for Apis mellifica, Bufo rana, and Calcium iodatum, with a decrease in the mean value of absorbance (340 nm) in agitated solutions. For A nica montana, Matricaria chamomilla, Coffea arabica, Pulsatilla nigricans, Calcium iodatum and Natrum muriaticum, the absorbance values increased; these values decreased for Apis and Bufo. In addition, measurements were performed with a shorter wavelength (200 nm); it was observed that there are significant differences for all homeopathic dilutions studied. Additionally, when comparing the mean values of the absorbance for each kingdom, and observing the agitation factor, a statistically significant difference was found in the animal kingdom (p<0.05), having lower absorbance for agitated dilutions. CONCLUSION: Comparisons of the spectrometric profiles of agitated and non-agitated solutions allow to observe that there is a difference of the absorbance when comparing a previously agitated solution and a solution with no agitation before taking it.
