[Translated article] Translation, validation, and cultural adaptation of the HSS-ES scale (Hospital for Special Surgery's [HSS] Shoulder Surgery Expectations Survey).

INTRODUCTION: The questionnaire Hospital for Special Surgery Shoulder Surgery Expectations Survey (HSS-ES) is a tool used to assess the preoperative expectations of patients with shoulder pathologies. The purpose of this study is to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Spanish version of the HSS-ES questionnaire to assess preoperative expectations in Spanish-speaking patients. METHODOLOGY: Questionnaire validation study, using a structured method where a survey-type tool was processed, evaluated and validated. The study involved 70 patients from the shoulder surgery outpatient clinic of a tertiary care hospital, with shoulder pathologies requiring surgery. RESULTS: The version of the questionnaire translated into Spanish presented a very good internal consistency with a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.94 and a very good reproducibility with an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of 0.99. CONCLUSION: The HSS-ES questionnaire presents an adequate intragroup validation and a strong intergroup correlation according to the internal consistency analysis of the questionnaire and the ICC. Therefore, it is considered an adequate questionnaire to use in the Spanish-speaking population.

Vibrio cholerae No O1 en muestras de aguas no cloradas consumidas por los pobladores de las localidades de Santa y Coishco (Ancash), 2003-2004 / Vibrio cholerae non-O1 in unchlorinated water samples used by the habitants of Santa and Coishco communities in Ancash, Peru 2003-2004

Objetivo: Identificar la presencia de Vibrio cholerae en muestras de agua no cloradas para consumo humano en las localidades de Santa y Coishco. Materiales y métodos: Entre julio de 2003 a junio de 2004 se tomaron muestras deagua, en forma semanal, provenientes de siete pozos con bomba manuable y de seis pozos con reservorio. A cada muestra de agua se le midió in situ el cloro residual mediante un comparador de cloro Hatch, método colorimétrico,usando para ello las pastillas DPD 1. En las muestras con cloro <0,05mg/L se realizó el cultivo según los manuales de procedimientos del Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS, Lima). Las cepas aisladas se enviaron al INS para confirmación diagnóstica y pruebas serológicas. Resultados: Se incluyeron 308 muestras de agua para consumo humano en ambos distritos (201 de pozos con bomba manuable y 107 con reservorio). Se realizó el aislamiento en 70(22,7%) muestras: Aeromonas caviae 34(11,0%), Aeromonas hidrophyla 17(5,5%) y Vibrio cholerae No O1 19(6,2%), no se encontró V. cholerae del serotipo O139. El Vibrio cholerae No O1 se aisló en 11(5,5%) muestras de pozos con bomba manuable y en 8(7,4%) pozos con reservorio, respectivamente. Conclusión: El agua de consumo humano proveniente de pozos tubulares representa un reservorio potencial para bacterias como Aeromonas y Vibrio cholerae, resaltando lanecesidad de realizar la desinfección correspondiente de ésta antes de su consumo

Objective: Identify the presence of Vibrio cholerae in unchlorinated water samples intended for human consumption in locations of Santa and Coishco. Materials and methods: Between July 2003 and June 2004, water samples were collected weekly from seven water wells with manual pumps and from six wells with reservoir. Residual chlorine levels were measured at the site using a Hatch chlorine comparing tool, chlorimetric method, using DPD 1 pills. Well samples were cultured according to National Institute of Health (INS Lima) standard operating procedures. Isolated strains were submitted to the INS for diagnostic confirmation and serologic testing. Results: A total of 308 drinking water samples from both districts were included (201 from wells with manual pumps and 107 with reservoir). Isolates were obtained from 70(22,7%) samples. Aeromonas caviae 34(11,0%), Aeromonas hidrophyla 17(5,5%) and Vibrio cholerae non-O1 19(6,2%) were detected; V. cholerae O139 was not found. Vibrio cholerae non-O1 was isolated in 11(5,5%) samples from manual pump wells and 8(7,4%) from wells with reservoirs. Conclusions: Drinking water from tubular wells represents a potential reservoir for bacteria, such as Aeromonas and Vibrio cholerae, highlighting the need for disinfection before use.
