RESUMEN
Objetivos: Identificar los medicamentos inductores a reacciones adversas cutáneas severas que se han reportado hasta el año 2020 en países de Iberoamérica, identificando los medicamentos inductores que se asocian a cada síndrome (SSJ, NET, DRESS y PEAG). Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, no experimental. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura médica relacionada a los medicamentos inductores de reacciones adversas cutáneas severas en Iberoamérica, expuesta en la base de datos PubMed, Scopus, Scielo y Google académico, limitando la búsqueda a artículos publicados en español y sin límites de tiempo. 27 de 574 publicaciones identificaron los medicamentos inductores a reacciones adversas cutáneas severas, excluyendo los casos de estas reacciones en las que no se especificó su asociación secundaria a medicamentos. Resultados: Los hallazgos incluyeron reportes de los siguientes países: Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala, México, Paraguay, Ecuador, Perú y España. Entre los medicamentos inductores a reacciones adversas cutáneas severas reportados, se incluyeron aquellos pertenecientes a diversos grupos terapéuticos: anticonvulsivos, AINES, inhibidores de la xantina oxidasa, antimicrobianos, antirretrovirales, sales de oro y antagonistas de canales de calcio, todos ellos con un pronóstico entre grave y mortal. Conclusiones: Se determinó que los medicamentos inductores a reacciones adversas cutáneas severas comprendieron una amplia variedad, pertenecientes a diversos grupos terapéuticos, siendo los más frecuentes: anticonvulsivantes, alopurinol y algunos antibióticos. No se observó una tendencia específica de algún medicamento por país o región. (AU)
Aim: Identify induce severe skin reaction´s drugs that have been reported up to 2020 in Iberoamerican countries, recognizing the associated drugs with each syndrome (SSJ-NET, DRESS and AGEP). Data selection and methodology: A retrospective, non-experimental study was performed based on a systematic review of the medical literature related to induce sever skin reation´s drugs available in the databases of PubMed, Scopus, Scielo and Google scholar. The search and data selection were limited on reviewed articles published in Spanish, with no time limit. 27 of 574 clinical cases identified the drugs that induce serious skin reactions, excluding the cases of patients with skin reactions that do not specify whether they are secondary to drugs. Results: The findings included the report from the following countries: Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Ecuador, Peru and Spain. The reported drugs that cause server skin reactions, belong to the following therapeutic groups: anticonvulsants, antibacterials, antiretrovirals, minocycline, lamotrigine, gold sales, beta-lactams, macrolides, quinolones, antifungals, calcium channel blockers, protease inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and acetaminophen; presenting pharmacological interactions, all of them between serious and fatal prognosis. Conclusions: When comparing the findings, it was determined that the drugs that cause server skin reactions belong to many diverse therapeutic groups, being the more frequently: anticonvulsants, alopurinol and some antibiotics. No specific tendency was found related on a specific drug reported on the analyzed countries. (AU)

This study examined whether knowledge of sexual consent buffers the relationship between risk factors for sexual violence (SV) and SV perpetration among first-year college men. The study data were drawn from a longitudinal study with 1144 first-year college men. A series of generalized linear models were conducted to examine whether knowledge of sexual consent moderated the relationship between SV risk factors and SV perpetration. Knowledge of sexual consent moderated the effect of hypermasculinity (P < 0.001), binge drinking (P < 0.001), rape-supportive social norms (P = 0.007) and peer support for SV (P < 0.001) such that there was a positive association between risk factors and SV perpetration among those with lower, but not higher, knowledge of sexual consent. Knowledge of sexual consent did not significantly moderate the relationship between SV perpetration and outcome expectancies for non-consensual sex (P = 0.387) and pornography use (P = 0.494). Knowledge of sexual consent may counteract risk factors for SV perpetration among young college men. The findings highlight the need for consent education to be incorporated in youth comprehensive sexual education to increase knowledge of sexual consent prior to college and campus-based SV prevention programming delivered to college students.

Background: We developed a three-pronged complex intervention to improve selfcare and deliver whole person care for patients with heart failure, underpinned by the 'extant cycle' theory - a theory based on our formative work. Methods: This is a 3 centre, 2-arm, 1:1, open, adaptive stratified, randomized controlled trial. We included patients aged ≥ 18 years with heart failure, taking any of the key guideline directed medical treatments, with a history of or currently on a high ceiling diuretic. We excluded end stage renal disease, clinically diagnosed severe mental illness or cognitive dysfunction and having no caregivers. Interventions included, (i) trained hospital based lay health worker mediated assessment of patients' current selfcare behaviour, documenting barriers and facilitators and implementing a plan to 'transition' the patient toward optimal selfcare. (ii) m-health mediated remote monitoring and (iii) dose optimization through a 'physician supervisor'. Results: We recruited 301 patients between Jan 2021 and Jan 2022. Mean age was 59.8 (±11.7) years, with 195 (64.8 %) from rural or semi-urban areas and 67.1 % having intermediate to low health literacy. 190 (63.1 %) had an underlying ischemic cardiomyopathy. In the intervention arm, 142 (94.1 %) had a Selfcare in Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) score of ≤70, with significant barriers being 'lack of knowledge' 105 (34.5 %) and 'behavioural passivity' 23 (7.5 %). Conclusion: This is the first South Asian trial evaluating a complex intervention underpinned by behaviour change theory for whole person heart failure care. These learnings can be applied to heart failure patient care in other resource constrained health systems.
RESUMEN
La diabetes mellitus (dm) es una enfermedad crónica con alta incidencia y prevalencia. La enfermedad es un problema de salud pública que ha impulsado a la continua búsqueda de medidas tanto farmacológicas como no farmacológicas para el control. Gracias a la actual evidencia, se sabe que la dm, además de los niveles elevados de glucosa en sangre, se acompaña de otros problemas metabólicos como lo son la obesidad, alteraciones en el metabolismo de lípidos, entre otros; sumado a lo anterior, los pacientes tienen riesgo de padecer problemas cardiovasculares. El problema radica en que una gran cantidad de pacientes con riesgo cardiovascular (CV) o patología cardiovascular ya establecida, sufren de diabetes mellitus. La relación entre dm y las patologías cardiovasculares es de suma importancia, ya que cada una incrementa el riesgo de padecer la otra y empeora el pronóstico. Entre 1980 y 1990 se identificó el cotransportador de sodio y glucosa tipo 2 (SGLT2) como blanco para el tratamiento de la dm tipo 2. A partir de este hallazgo, se crearon los inhibidores de SGLT2 (i- SGLT2), grupo novedoso de medicamentos que disminuyen los niveles de glucosa. Además, tienen múltiples efectos tanto micro como macrovasculares (empagliflozina, canagliflozina y dapagliflozina). Por lo cual, haremos una revisión sobre la evidencia para los iSGLT2 como tratamiento de la insuficiencia cardiaca crónica y su impacto positivo sobre el sistema renal, reducción de presión arterial, disminución de peso, entre otros beneficios.
Diabetes mellitus (dm) is a chronic disease with high incidence and prevalence. The disease is a public health problem that has prompted the continuous search for both pharmacological and non-pharmacological control measures. Thanks to current evidence, it is known that dm, in addition to high blood glucose levels, is accompanied by other metabolic problems such as obesity, alterations in lipid metabolism, among others, and patients are also at risk of suffering from cardiovascular problems. The problema is that a large number of patients with cardiovascular (CV) risk or already established cardiovascular pathology suffer from diabetes mellitus. The relationship between dm and cardiovascular pathologies is extremely important, since each one increases the risk of suffering from the other and worsens the prognosis. Between 1980 and 1990, the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) was identified as a target for the treatment of type 2 dm. Based on this finding, SGLT2 inhibitors (i-SGLT2) were created, a novel group of medications that lower glucose levels. In addition, they have multiple effects, both micro and macrovascular (empagliflozin, canagliflozin and dapagliflozin). Therefore, we will review the evidence for iSGLT2 as a treatment for chronic heart failure and its positive impact on the renal system, blood pressure reduction, weight loss, among other benefits.

Além disso, eles têm múltiplos efeitos micro e macrovasculares(empagliflozina, canagliflozina e dapagliflozina). Portanto, re-visaremos as evidências do iSGLT2 como tratamento para insuficiência cardíaca crônica e seu impacto positivo no sistema renal, redução da pressão arterial, perda de peso, entre outros benefícios.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the pattern of fetal cortical development in pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia (PE), with and without a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetus, compared to uncomplicated pregnancies. METHODS: This was a prospective observational study including singleton pregnancies complicated by normotensive SGA (birth weight < 10th centile) (n = 77), PE with an appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) fetus (n = 76) or PE with a SGA fetus (n = 67), and 128 uncomplicated pregnancies (normotensive AGA) matched by gestational age at ultrasound. All pregnancies underwent detailed neurosonography, using a transabdominal and transvaginal approach, at 31-35 weeks' gestation to assess the depth of the insula, Sylvian fissure, parieto-occipital sulcus, cingulate sulcus and calcarine sulcus. All measurements were adjusted for biparietal diameter (BPD). In addition, a grading score of cortical development was assigned to each brain structure, ranging from Grade 0 (no development) to Grade 5 (maximum development). Univariate and multiple regression analyses were conducted. RESULTS: Similar to findings in previous studies, normotensive pregnancies with a SGA fetus showed significant differences in cortical development compared with controls, with reduced Sylvian fissure depth adjusted for BPD (14.5 ± 2.4 vs 16.6 ± 2.3; P < 0.001) and increased insula depth adjusted for BPD (33.2 ± 2.0 vs 31.8 ± 2.0; P < 0.001). Interestingly, a similar cortical development pattern was observed in PE pregnancies with a SGA fetus and in PE pregnancies with an AGA fetus, manifested by reduced Sylvian fissure depth adjusted for BPD (14.2 ± 2.3 and 14.3 ± 2.3 vs 16.6 ± 2.3; P < 0.001 for both) and greater insula depth adjusted for BPD (33.2 ± 2.1 and 32.8 ± 1.7 vs 31.8 ± 2.0; P < 0.001 for both) compared with controls. No significant differences were observed in parieto-occipital, cingulate sulcus or calcarine sulcus depth across the study groups. The Sylvian fissure was scored as Grade 4 in significantly more (93.2% vs 59.5%) and as Grade 5 in significantly fewer (2.7% vs 37.3%) PE pregnancies with an AGA fetus compared with controls (P < 0.05 for both). These differences remained significant even after statistical adjustment for potential confounders, including ethnicity, low socioeconomic status, nulliparity, chronic hypertension, pregestational diabetes, assisted reproductive technologies, smoking and fetal gender, with the application of Benjamini-Hochberg procedure for multiple comparisons. CONCLUSIONS: PE with or without SGA is associated with a differential fetal cortical development pattern which is similar to that described previously in small fetuses. Future research is warranted to elucidate better the mechanism(s) underlying these changes. © 2022 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

INTRODUCTION: Transcorporeal anterior cervical microforaminotomy is a motion-preserving surgery. It addresses directly to the prolapsed disc in contrast to posterior laminoforaminotomy and does not affect facet joints; in the transuncal approach, there is a chance of vertebral artery injury and it also decreases disc height; hence, may alter the motion of that segment. OBJECTIVE: Aim is to assess the outcome of surgery and its effectiveness. METHODS: A total of 40 patients were observed retrospectively of which 33 were male and 7 were female. A single study of transcorporeal anterior cervical microforaminotomy was analyzed in a private hospital (Comfort Hospital), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Patients having pure brachialgia who were not relieved by conservative treatment over 6-8 weeks in cervical disc prolapse were included in the study. Patients having more than one level of disease, features of myelopathy, or instability were excluded from the study. RESULTS: All patients were pain-free postoperatively, although after one to two months 2 out of 40 patients developed brachialgia and required anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. CONCLUSION: Transcorporeal microforaminotomy for brachialgia is a safe and effective approach that is motion preserving and minimally invasive as well.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the neonatal outcome of fetuses with isolated right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (iRCDH) based on prenatal severity indicators and antenatal management. METHODS: This was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data on consecutive cases diagnosed with iRCDH before 30 weeks' gestation in four fetal therapy centers, between January 2008 and December 2018. Data on prenatal severity assessment, antenatal management and perinatal outcome were retrieved. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify predictors of survival at discharge and early neonatal morbidity. RESULTS: Of 265 patients assessed during the study period, we excluded 40 (15%) who underwent termination of pregnancy, two cases of unexplained fetal death, two that were lost to follow-up, one for which antenatal assessment of lung hypoplasia was not available and six cases which were found to have major associated anomalies or syndromes after birth. Of the 214 fetuses with iRCDH included in the neonatal outcome analysis, 86 were managed expectantly during pregnancy and 128 underwent fetal endoscopic tracheal occlusion (FETO) with a balloon. In the expectant-management group, lung size measured by ultrasound or by magnetic resonance imaging was the only independent predictor of survival (observed-to-expected lung-to-head ratio (o/e-LHR) odds ratio (OR), 1.06 (95% CI, 1.02-1.11); P = 0.003). Until now, stratification for severe lung hypoplasia has been based on an o/e-LHR cut-off of 45%. In cases managed expectantly, the survival rate was 15% (4/27) in those with o/e-LHR ≤ 45% and 61% (36/59) for o/e-LHR > 45% (P = 0.001). However, the best o/e-LHR cut-off for the prediction of survival at discharge was 50%, with a sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 72%. In the expectantly managed group, survivors with severe pulmonary hypoplasia stayed longer in the neonatal intensive care unit than did those with mildly hypoplastic lungs. In fetuses with an o/e-LHR ≤ 45% treated with FETO, survival rate was higher than in those with similar lung size managed expectantly (49/120 (41%) vs 4/27 (15%); P = 0.014), despite higher prematurity rates (gestational age at birth: 34.4 ± 2.7 weeks vs 36.8 ± 3.0 weeks; P < 0.0001). In fetuses treated with FETO, gestational age at birth was the only predictor of survival (OR, 1.25 (95% CI, 1.04-1.50); P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Antenatal measurement of lung size can predict survival in iRCDH. In fetuses with severe lung hypoplasia, FETO was associated with a significant increase in survival without an associated increase in neonatal morbidity. © 2020 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Background: Adherence to a complex, yet effective medication regimen improves clinical outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, patient adherence to an agreed upon plan for medication-taking is sub-optimal and continues to hover at 50% in developed countries. Studies to improve medication-taking have focused on interventions to improve adherence to guideline-directed medication therapy, yet few of these studies have integrated patients' perceptions of what constitutes effective strategies for improved medication-taking and self-care in everyday life. The purpose of this formative study was to explore patient perceived facilitators of selfcare and medication-taking. Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews of patients with long standing heart failure admitted to the cardiology and internal medicine wards of a South Indian tertiary care hospital. We purposively sampled using the following criteria: sex, socio-economic status, health literacy and patient reported medication adherence in the month prior to hospitalization. We employed inductive coding to identify facilitators. At the end of 15 interviews (eight patients and seven caregivers; seven patient-caregiver dyads), we arrived at theoretical saturation for facilitators. Results: Facilitators could be classified into intrinsic (patient traits - situational awareness, self-efficacy, gratitude, resilience, spiritual invocation and support seeking behavior) and extrinsic (shaped by the environment - financial security and caregiver support, company of children, ease of healthcare access, trust in provider/hospital, supportive environment and recognizing the importance of knowledge). Conclusions: We identified and classified a set of key patient and caregiver reported self-care facilitators among Indian CHF patients. The learnings from this study will be incorporated into an intervention package to improve patient engagement, overall self-care and patient-caregiver-provider dynamics.
RESUMEN
Streptomyces spp. are prolific bacteria producing bioactive metabolites. We present the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. strain C8S0, which was isolated from a highly oligotrophic sediment from the Cuatro Cienegas Basin (Mexico). The whole-genome assembly comprised 6,898,902 bp, with 18 biosynthetic gene clusters, including those for nonconventional terpenes, nonribosomal peptides, and polyketides.
