RESUMO
Forensic DNA analysis in compromised skeletal remains may pose challenges due to DNA degradation, often resulting in partial or negative autosomal STRs profiles. To address this issue, alternative approaches such as mitochondrial DNA or SNPs typing may be employed; however, they are labour-intensive and costly. Insertion-null alleles (INNULs), short interspersed nuclear elements, have been suggested as a valuable tool for human identification in challenging samples due to their small amplicon size. A commercial kit including 20 INNULs markers along with amelogenin (InnoTyper® 21) has been developed. This study assesses its utility using degraded skeletal remains, comparing the results obtained (the number of detected alleles, RFU values, PHR, and the number of reportable markers) to those obtained using GlobalFiler™. Subsequently, the random match probability of the two profiles for each sample was determined using Familias version 3 to evaluate the power of discrimination of the results obtained from each kit. In every sample, InnoTyper® 21 yielded more alleles, higher RFU values, and a greater number of reportable loci. However, in most cases, both profiles were similarly informative. In conclusion, InnoTyper® 21 serves as a valuable complement to the analysis of challenging samples in cases where a poor or negative profile was obtained.

OBJECTIVE: Delirium and pain are common in older adults admitted to hospital. The relationship between these is unclear, but clinically important. We aimed to systematically review the association between pain (at rest, movement, pain severity) and delirium in this population. METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane and Web of Science were searched (January 1982-November 2022) for Medical Subject Heading terms and synonyms ('Pain', 'Analgesic', 'Delirium'). Study eligibility: (1) validated pain measure as exposure, (2) validated delirium tool as an outcome; participant eligibility: (1) medical or surgical (planned/unplanned) inpatients, (2) admission length ≥ 48 h and (3) median cohort age over 65 years. Study quality was assessed with the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. We collected/calculated odds ratios (ORs) for categorical data and standard mean differences (SMDs) for continuous data and conducted multi-level random-intercepts meta-regression models. This review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO [18/5/2020] (CRD42020181346). RESULTS: Thirty studies were selected: 14 reported categorical data; 16 reported continuous data. Delirium prevalence ranged from 2.2 to 55%. In the multi-level analysis, pain at rest (OR 2.14; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.39-3.30), movement (OR 1.30; 95% CI 0.66-2.56), pain categorised as 'severe' (OR 3.42; 95% CI 2.09-5.59) and increased pain severity when measured continuously (SMD 0.33; 95% CI 0.08-0.59) were associated with an increased delirium risk. There was substantial heterogeneity in both categorical (I2 = 0%-77%) and continuous analyses (I2 = 85%). CONCLUSION: An increase in pain was associated with a higher risk of developing delirium. Adequate pain management with appropriate analgesia may reduce incidence and severity of delirium.

BACKGROUND: Violence against women (VAW) severely impacts their physical and mental health. In some cultures, women can normalize certain types of violence if they were linked to home models in childhood and, eventually, do not seek for help in adulthood. We aimed to determine, in Peruvian women, (1) the association between witnessing violence in their family of origin and VAW experienced in adulthood, (2) the extent to which women who have experienced VAW seek some help, and (3) identify VAW prevalence by Peruvian region. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of secondary data obtained from the 2019 National Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES). The outcome was VAW (psychological, physical and sexual violence), whereas the exposure was witnessing violence in the home of origin. Help-seeking behavior was a secondary outcome, for which VAW was the exposure. Prevalence ratios (PR) were estimated to assess both associations, unadjusted and adjusted for covariates (aPR). RESULTS: Data from 14,256 women aged 15 to 49 years were analysed. 51.5% reported having experienced VAW and 43.8% witnessed violence in the home of origin during childhood. Witnessing inter-parental violence in childhood was associated with psychological violence aPR = 1.25 (95% CI: 1.17-1.33), physical aPR = 1.52 (95% CI: 1.38-1.67), and sexual aPR = 1.99 (95% CI: 1.57-2.52). Women who have experienced both types of violence (physical and sexual) were more likely to help-seeking (aPR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.14-1.50) than women suffering only one type of violence. CONCLUSION: Women who reported having witnessed home violence in their childhood are more likely to experience Violence Against Women (VAW) by their current partner. Physical and sexual violence with a current partner was more associated with witnessing inter-parental violence in childhood, and when physical and sexual violence jointly occurred women were more help-seeking. The southern region of Peru is identified as an area of high vulnerability for women. It is crucial to promote educative and community-based programs aimed at the prevention and early recognition of VAW.

OBJECTIVE: Cultural adaptation of the Patient Health Questionnaire-PHQ-9 to Bolivian Quechua and analysis of the internal structure validity, reliability, and measurement invariance by sociodemographic variables. METHODS: The PHQ-9 was translated and back-translated (English-Quechua-English) to optimise translation. For the cultural adaptation, experts, and people from the target population (e.g., in focus groups) verified the suitability of the translated PHQ-9. For the psychometric analysis, we performed a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to evaluate internal validity, calculated α and ω indices to assess reliability, and performed a Multiple Indicator, Multiple Cause (MIMIC) model for evaluating measurement invariance by sex, age, marital status, educational level and residence. We used standard goodness-of-fit indices to interpret both CFA results. RESULTS: The experts and focus groups improved the translated PHQ-9, making it clear and culturally equivalent. For the psychometric analysis, we included data from 397 participants, from which 73.3% were female, 33.0% were 18-30 years old, 56.7% reported primary school studies, 63.2% were single, and 62.0% resided in urban areas. In the CFA, the single-factor model showed adequate fit (Comparative Fit Index = 0.983; Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.977; Standardized Root Mean Squared Residual = 0.046; Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation = 0.069), while the reliability was optimal (α = 0.869-0.877; ω = 0.874-0.885). The invariance was confirmed across all sociodemographic variables (Change in Comparative Fit Index (delta) or Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (delta) < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The PHQ-9 adapted to Bolivian Quechua offers a valid, reliable and invariant unidimensional measurement across groups by sex, age, marital status, educational level and residence.

BACKGROUND: A history of anxiety is more common in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The prospective risk of PD in those newly presenting with anxiety and factors that increase the risk of PD in patients with anxiety have not been investigated. AIM: To investigate the incidence of PD in people with anxiety aged ≥50 years and clinical features associated with later diagnosis of PD in people with anxiety. DESIGN AND SETTING: A retrospective cohort study using UK primary care data between 2008 and 2018, assessing patients with new-onset anxiety aged ≥50 years. METHOD: Weibull survival regression models were fitted and hazard ratios (HRs) for modelling time-to-PD was estimated in those with and without anxiety, and when determining the risk of developing PD in those with anxiety. Results were adjusted for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, and relevant physical and mental health conditions. RESULTS: The risk of PD increased two-fold compared with the non-anxiety group after adjustment for age, sex, social deprivation, lifestyle factors, severe mental illness, head trauma, and dementia (HR 2.1, 95% confidence interval = 1.9 to 2.4). In those with anxiety, the presence of depression, hypotension, tremor, rigidity, balance impairment, constipation, sleep disturbance, fatigue, and cognitive impairment were associated with an increased risk of developing PD. CONCLUSION: The risk of developing PD was at least doubled in people with anxiety compared with those without. The clinical features of those who developed PD can help identify patients presenting with anxiety who are in the prodromal phase of PD.

BACKGROUND: Severe Mental Illness (SMI) has been associated with reduced bone density and increased risk of fractures, although some studies have shown inconsistent results. AIM: Examine the association between SMI and recorded diagnosis of osteoporosis (OP) and fragility fracture (FF) in people aged ≥50years. DESIGN AND SETTING: Population-based cohort study; UK Primary care. METHOD: We used anonymised primary care data (IQVIA Medical Research Database). Patients with a diagnosis of SMI aged 50-99y (2000-2018) were matched to individuals without SMI. We used Cox Proportional Hazards models to estimate Hazard Ratios (HR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95%CI). We stratified analyses by sex and age, accounting for social deprivation, year, smoking, alcohol, and Body Mass Index (BMI). RESULTS: In total 444,480 people were included (SMI N=50,006; unexposed N=394,474). In men, diagnosis of SMI increased the likelihood of OP diagnosis, with differences mainly observed amongst the youngest (50-54y:HR=2.12;95%CI 1.61-2.79) and oldest (85-99y:HR=2.15;95%CI 1.05-4.37), and also increased the risk of FF across all ages. In women, SMI increased the risk of OP diagnosis only in those aged 50-54y:HR=1.16;95%CI 1.01-1.34, but increased the risk of FF across all ages. There were more than twice as many men with SMI with FF records than with OP diagnosis: FF:OP=2.10, compared to FF:OP=1.89 in men without SMI. The FF:OP ratio was 1.56 in women with SMI vs.1.11 in women without SMI. CONCLUSION: SMI is associated with increased likelihood of fragility fractures and osteoporosis underdiagnosis. Interventions should be considered to mitigate the increased risk of fractures in people with SMI.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Depression, anxiety, and insomnia are prevalent in older people and are associated with increased risk of mortality, dependency, falls and reduced quality of life. Prior to or whilst seeking treatment, older people often manage these symptoms or conditions using products purchased over the counter (OTC), such as medication or herbal products. This review aims to map the evidence available for OTC medications, herbal medicines and dietary supplements for depression, anxiety and insomnia in older adults. METHODOLOGY: We carried out a scoping review, including searches of five databases to identify relevant randomised controlled trials (inception-Dec 2022). We took an inclusive approach to products to represent the wide range that may be available online. Trials were summarised according to condition and product. RESULTS: We included 47 trials and 10 ongoing trial protocols. Most targeted insomnia (n = 25), followed by depression (n = 20), and mixed conditions (n = 2). None evaluated products targeted at anxiety alone. Where reported, most products appeared to be safe for use, but studies rarely included people with multiple comorbidities or taking concomitant medication. Some types of melatonin for insomnia (n = 19) and omega-3 fatty acids for depression (n = 7) had more substantive evidence compared to the other products. CONCLUSION: There is a substantial gap in evidence for OTC products for anxiety in older people. This should be addressed in future trials. Research should also focus on products that are widely used, and these need to be tested in older populations that are similar to those who would use them in practice.

The COVID-19 pandemic drastically affected higher education and higher education students around the world, but few studies of college students' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic have been conducted in Latin America. This study describes the COVID-19-related experiences and perspectives of Peruvian college students. We surveyed 3,427 full-time college students (average age: 23 years) attending a multi-campus Peruvian university in fall 2020. Participants were recruited through the digital platform of the learning management system at their university, email, and social media. We asked participants how they were managing risks related to COVID-19; the continuity of social, educational, and work activities; and the psychological and economic impacts of the pandemic on their lives. Since March 2020, 73.0% of participants reported COVID-19-related symptoms, but only 33.9% were tested for COVID-19. During the national quarantine imposed by the Peruvian government (March 15-June 30, 2020), 64.3% of participants remained in their house. Furthermore, while 44.0% of participants were working in February 2020 (95% CI: [41.7%, 46.4%]), only 23.6% (95% CI: [21.7%, 25.7%]) were working immediately after the pandemic began (i.e., at the end of April 2020). Participants were more stressed about the health and educational implications of COVID-19 for Peruvian society and their families than about themselves. The public health, economic, and educational implications of COVID-19 on college students are continuing to unfold. This study informed Peruvian higher education institutions' continued response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the progressive return to postpandemic activities, as well as other future pandemics and other crises.

BACKGROUND: Depression, anxiety and insomnia often co-occur. However, there is a lack of research regarding how they cluster and how this is related to medication used to treat them. AIMS: To describe the frequencies and associations between depression, anxiety and insomnia, and treatment for these conditions in primary care. METHOD: A retrospective cohort study using UK electronic primary care records. We included individuals aged between 18 and 99 years old with one or more records suggesting they had a diagnosis, symptom or drug treatment for anxiety, depression or insomnia between 2015 and 2017. We report the conditional probabilities of having different combinations of diagnoses, symptoms and treatments recorded. RESULTS: There were 1 325 960 records indicative of depression, anxiety or insomnia, for 739 834 individuals. Depression was the most common condition (n = 106 117 records), and SSRIs were the most commonly prescribed medication (n = 347 751 records). Overall, individuals with a record of anxiety were most likely to have co-occurring symptoms and diagnoses of other mental health conditions. For example, of the individuals with a record of generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), 24% also had a diagnosis of depression. In contrast, only 0.6% of those who had a diagnosis of depression had a diagnosis or symptom of GAD. Prescribing of more than one psychotropic medication within the same year was common. For example, of those who were prescribed an SNRI (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor), 40% were also prescribed an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). CONCLUSIONS: The conditional probabilities of co-occurring anxiety, depression and insomnia symptoms, diagnoses and treatments are high.
RESUMO
Objetivo . Traducir y adaptar culturalmente el Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) a tres variedades del quechua y analizar su validez, confiabilidad e invarianza. Materiales y métodos . 1) Fase de adaptación cultural: el PHQ-9 fue traducido del inglés a tres variantes del quechua (Central, Chanca, Cuzco-Collao) y traducido nuevamente al inglés, posteriormente expertos y grupos focales permitieron adaptar culturalmente las traducciones. 2) Fase psicométrica: se evaluó la uni-dimensionalidad del PHQ-9 adaptado mediante un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (CFA), la confiabilidad se evaluó mediante consistencia interna (Alpha y Omega), y la invarianza de medida según variedades del quechua y variables sociodemográficas se evaluó empleando CFA multigrupos y modelos MIMIC (Múltiples Indicadores y Múltiples Causas). Resultados . Cada una de las adaptaciones del PHQ-9 a las tres variedades de quechua reportaron ítems claros y culturalmente equivalentes. Posteriormente, con 970 datos de quechuahablantes adultos varones y mujeres, el modelo general unidimensional reportó un ajuste adecuado (índice de ajuste comparativo: 0,990, índice de Tucker-Lewis: 0,987, residuo estandarizado cuadrático medio: 0,048, raíz del error cuadrático medio de aproximación: 0,071), lo mismo ocurrió para cada variedad del quechua. La confiabilidad fue alta para todas las variedades (α = 0,865 - 0,915; ω = 0,833 - 0,881). Los resultados del CFA multigrupos y modelos MIMIC confirmaron invarianza de medida según variante del quechua, sexo, residencia, edad, estado civil y nivel educativo. Conclusiones . Las adaptaciones del PHQ-9 a Quechua Central, Chanca y Cuzco-Collao ofrecen una medición válida, confiable e invariante, confirmando que se pueden hacer comparaciones en los grupos evaluados. Su uso beneficiará a la investigación y a la atención en salud mental de poblaciones quechuahablantes.
Objective . To translate and culturally adapt the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) to three varieties of Quechua and analyse their validity, reliability, and measurement invariance. Materials and methods . 1) Cultural adaptation phase: the PHQ-9 was translated from English into three variants of Quechua (Central, Chanca, Cuzco-Collao) and translated again into English. Then, experts and focus groups allowed the translations to be culturally adapted. 2) Psychometric phase: the unidimensionality of the adapted PHQ-9 was evaluated by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), reliability was evaluated by internal consistency (Alpha and Omega), and measurement invariance according to Quechua varieties and sociodemographic variables was evaluated by using CFA, multigroups and MIMIC models (Multiple Indicator Multiple Cause). Results . Each of the adaptations of the PHQ-9 to the three Quechua varieties reported clear and culturally equivalent items. Subsequently, data from 970 Quechua-speaking adult men and women were analyzed. The general one-dimensional model reported an adequate fit (Comparative fit index = 0.990, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.987, Standardized root mean squared residual= 0.048, Root mean squared error of approximation=0.071); each of the Quechua varieties also showed an adequate fit. Reliability was high for all varieties (α = 0.865 - 0.915; ω = 0.833 - 0.881). The results of the multigroup CFA and MIMIC models confirmed measurement invariance according to Quechua variant, sex, residence, age, marital status and educational level. Conclusions . The PHQ-9 adaptations to Central Quechua, Chanca and Cuzco-Collao offer a valid, reliable and invariant measurement, confirming that comparisons can be made between the evaluated groups. Its use will benefit mental health research and care for Quechua-speaking populations.

Abstract Objective We describe the development and structure of a novel mobile application in a mixed model of prenatal care, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, we assess the acceptability of this mobile app in a cohort of patients. Methods First, we introduced a mixed model of prenatal care; second, we developed a comprehensive, computer-based clinical record to support our system. Lastly, we built a novel mobile app as a tool for prenatal care. We used Flutter Software version 2.2 to build the app for Android and iOS smartphones. A cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the acceptability of the app. Results A mobile app was also built with the main attribute of being connected in real-time with the computer-based clinical records. The app screens detail information about activities programmed and developed in the prenatal care according to gestational age. A downloadable maternity book is available and some screens show warning signs and symptoms of pregnancy. The acceptability assessment was mostly rated positively regarding the characteristics of the mobile app, by 50 patients. Conclusion This novel mobile app was developed as a tool among pregnant patients to increase the information available about their pregnancies in the provision of a mixed model of prenatal care in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was fully customized to the needs of our users following the local protocols. The introduction of this novel mobile app was highly accepted by the patients.

Introducción: La prediabetes constituye un importante problema de salud pública. Los objetivos del estudio fueron determinar la prevalencia de prediabetes según dos criterios diagnósticos, y comparar la asociación de factores de riesgo cardiometabólicos y renales entre las poblaciones con y sin prediabetes. Métodos: Estudio observacional transversal realizado en el ámbito de Atención Primaria. Muestra aleatoria de base poblacional: 6.588 sujetos de estudio (tasa de respuesta: 66%). Se utilizaron dos criterios diagnósticos: 1) prediabetes según la Sociedad Española de Diabetes (PRED-SED): glucosa plasmática en ayunas 110125mg/dL o HbA1c 6,0%6,4%; 2) prediabetes según la Asociación Americana de Diabetes (PRED-ADA): glucosa plasmática en ayunas 100125mg/dL o HbA1c 5,7%6,4%. Se evaluaron las prevalencias crudas y ajustadas por edad y sexo, y las variables cardiometabólicas y renales asociadas con prediabetes. Resultados: Las prevalencias crudas de PRED-SED y PRED-ADA fueron 7,9% (IC95% 7,38,6%), y 22,0% (IC95% 21,023,0%) respectivamente, y sus prevalencias ajustadas fueron 6,6% y 19,1% respectivamente. El riesgo cardiovascular alto o muy alto de las poblaciones PRED-SED y PRED-ADA fueron 68,6% (IC95% 64,572,6%) y 61,7% (IC95% 59,164,1%) respectivamente. La hipertensión, hipertrigliceridemia, sobrepeso, obesidad y el índice cintura-talla aumentado se asociaban independientemente con PRED-SED. Además de estos factores, el filtrado glomerular bajo y la hipercolesterolemia también se asociaban independientemente con PRED-ADA. Conclusiones: La prevalencia de PRED-ADA triplica a la PRED-SED. Dos tercios de la población con prediabetes tenían un riesgo cardiovascular elevado. Varios factores de riesgo cardiometabólicos y renales se asociaban con la prediabetes. En comparación con los criterios de la SED, los criterios de la ADA facilitan más el diagnóstico de la prediabetes. (AU)
Introduction: Prediabetes is a major public health problem. The aims of the SIMETAP-PRED study were to determine the prevalence rates of prediabetes according to two diagnostic criteria, and to compare the association of cardiometabolic and renal risk factors between populations with and without prediabetes. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study conducted in Primary Care. Based random sample: 6,588 study subjects (response rate: 66%). Two diagnostic criteria for prediabetes were used: 1) prediabetes according to the Spanish Diabetes Society (PRED-SDS): Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 110125mg/dL or HbA1c 6.0% 6.4%; 2) prediabetes according to the American Diabetes Association (PRED-ADA): FPG 100125mg/dL or HbA1c 5.7%6.4%. The crude and sex- and age-adjusted prevalence rates, and cardiometabolic and renal variables associated with prediabetes were assessed. Results: The crude prevalence rates of PRED-SDS and PRED-ADA were 7.9% (95% CI 7.38.6%), and 22.0% (95% CI 21.023.0%) respectively, their age-adjusted prevalence rates were 6.6% and 19.1 respectively. The high or very high cardiovascular risk of the PRED-SDS or PRED-ADA populations were 68.6% (95%CI 64.572.6%) and 61.7% (95%CI 59.164.1%) respectively. Hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, overweight, obesity, and increased waist-to-height ratio were independently associated with PRED-SDS. In addition to these factors, low glomerular filtration rate and hypercholesterolemia were also independently associated with PRED-ADA. Conclusions: The prevalence of PRED-ADA triples that of PRED-SDS. Two thirds of the population with prediabetes had a high cardiovascular risk. Several cardiometabolic and renal risk factors were associated with prediabetes. Compared to the SDS criteria, the ADA criteria make the diagnosis of prediabetes easier. (AU)

Introducción: El divertículo de Zenker es una patología infrecuente del esfínter esofágico superior cuya clínica típica es la asociación de disfagia y regurgitación alimentaria. Es más frecuente en edades avanzadas, y su tratamiento de elección es quirúrgico en casos sintomáticos, existiendo diversas técnicas quirúrgicas.MétodoSe realiza un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de 27 pacientes intervenidos en el Servicio de Otorrinolaringología del Hospital Universitario de Cabueñes entre los años 2007 y 2019 mediante cirugía endoscópica láser.ResultadosSe intervinieron 27 pacientes, un 70,4% varones y un 29,6% mujeres, con una edad media de 67 años (rango entre 30 y 91). El síntoma más frecuente al momento del diagnóstico fue la disfagia. No se observaron complicaciones intraoperatorias. Un paciente (3,7%) presentó fiebre posquirúrgica, y otra paciente (3,7%) una complicación grave por perforación esofágica secundaria a emesis posquirúrgica. La mediana de estancia hospitalaria fue de 5 días, y la del inicio de ingesta oral fue 4 días. Se observó recidiva en 6 pacientes (22,2%), requiriendo una segunda intervención cuatro de ellos (14,8%), que se realizó mediante la misma técnica.Discusión y conclusionesEl tratamiento quirúrgico del divertículo de Zenker ha avanzado en las últimas décadas, siendo actualmente de elección el tratamiento endoscópico. Dentro de las opciones quirúrgicas, la cirugía endoscópica con láser CO2 es una alternativa eficaz y segura, aunque se deben tener en cuenta las posibles complicaciones, en ocasiones de gravedad. Supone también una alternativa eficaz para el tratamiento de las recidivas. (AU)
Introduction: Zenker's diverticulum is an uncommon pathology of the upper oesophageal sphincter whose most frequent symptoms are the association of dysphagia and regurgitation. It is more frequent in advanced ages, and its treatment of choice is surgery in symptomatic cases.MethodA retrospective descriptive study was performed of 27 patients operated in the Otorhinolaryngology service of the Hospital Universitario de Cabueñes between 2007 and 2019 using laser endoscopic surgery.Results27 patients were operated, 70.4% male and 29.6% female, with a mean age of 67 years (range between 30 and 91). The most frequent symptom at diagnosis was dysphagia. No intraoperative complications were observed. One patient (3.7%) presented post-surgical fever, and another patient (3.7%) had a serious complication due to oesophageal perforation secondary to postsurgical emesis. The median hospital stay was 5 days, and the median oral intake was 4 days. Recurrence was observed in 6 patients (22.2%), 4 (14.8%) requiring a second intervention, which was performed using the same technique.Discussion and conclusionsThe surgical treatment of Zenker's diverticulum has advanced in recent decades, with endoscopic treatment currently being the choice. Among the surgical options, endoscopic CO2 laser surgery is an effective and safe alternative, although possible complications must be considered. It is also an effective alternative for the treatment of recurrences. (AU)

El texto surge a través de las reflexiones conceptuales en el Doctorado en Educación de la Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, en Medellín, Colombia, y la Pasantía Doctoral en la Universidad de Murcia con el grupo de investigación "Compartimos Educación" con el objetivo de caracterizar el lugar de las escuelas familiares en la promoción de la educación afectivo-sexual de los niños, niñas y adolescentes en la escuela. La metodología es de corte cualitativo. Como resultado se muestra la necesidad de vincular actores que transversalizan el quehacer de los sujetos, la familia y escuela en un lugar común, las escuelas familiares para la promoción de la educación afectivo-sexual para gestar acciones de cambio individual y social. Es evidente la necesidad intrínseca de generar la discusión en cuanto al género para la deconstrucción de prácticas socioculturalmente atribuidas, promover espacios formativos respecto a la sexualidad y la afectividad e incentivar a la reflexión como ejercicio pedagógico
This text emerges through the conceptual reflections of the Doctorate in Education at Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, in Medellín, Colombia, and the Doctoral Internship at University of Murcia with the research group "Compartimos Educación" with the aim of characterizing the place of family schools in the promotion of affective-sexual education of boys, girls and adolescents at school. The used methodology is qualitative. As a result, the need to link actors that mainstream the work of the subjects, family and school in a common place, the family schools for the promotion of affective-sexual education to create actions of individual and social change is shown. The intrinsic need to generate discussion regarding gender for the deconstruction of sociocultural attributed practices, promote training spaces regarding sexuality and affectivity and encourage reflection as a pedagogical exercise is evident

Resumen Este artículo se deriva de una investigación sobre experiencias de mediación y gestión transformativa de conflictos en zonas afectadas por el conflicto armado en Colombia, presentando dos hallazgos: uno, que en medio de ciclos repetidos de violencia, las personas han logrado un "empoderamiento pacifista", sobreponerse y apelar a sus capacidades para transformar los conflictos y para restituir el tejido social; y dos, el trabajo sobre el ser, el abordaje simbólico para tramitar los conflictos y para educar en formas de convivencia pacífica. Los recursos culturales identificados sirvieron de base para la construcción de contenidos formativos digitales que aportaran a la Cátedra de la Paz en el país. Por tanto, los contenidos no parten de prescripciones ni de teorías, sino que convirtieron las experiencias concretas en contenidos formativos para la construcción de la paz.
Resumo Este artigo se deriva de uma pesquisa sobre experiências de mediação e gestão transformadora de conflitos em áreas afetadas pelo conflito armado colombiano, apresentando dois achados: em primeiro lugar, que, no meio de ciclos repetidos de violências, as pessoas conseguem obter um "empoderamento pacifista", se superar e apelar para as suas capacidades, a fim de transformar os conflitos e restituir o tecido social; e em segundo, o trabalho sobre o ser, a abordagem simbólica para administrar os conflitos e educar sobre formas de convivência pacífica. Os recursos culturais identificados serviram como base para a construção de conteúdos formativos digitais que contribuíram para a Cátedra da Paz, na Colômbia. Portanto os conteúdos não partem de prescrições nem de teorias, mas transformaram as experiências concretas em conteúdos formativos para a construção da paz.
Résumé Cet article découle d'une recherche sur les expériences de médiation et de gestion et transformation des conflits dans des zones de Colombie touchées par le conflit armé. Il rend compte de deux découvertes : la première est que, malgré les cycles de violence récurrents, la population est parvenue non seulement à s'autonomiser de manière pacifique, mais aussi à se surmonter en mobilisant ses capacités à transformer les conflits et à restaurer le tissu social ; la deuxième étant que grace au travail sur l'être humain lui-même et à une approche symbolique il est possible de gérer les conflits et de mettre en place une éducation bâtie sur des formes de coexistence pacifique. Les ressources culturelles identifiées ont servi de base à la construction des contenus de formation numériques ayant contribué à la Chaire de la Paix en Colombie. Les contenus ne sont donc pas partis de prescriptions ou de théories, mais des expériences concrètes qui ont été converties en contenus de formation pour la construction de la paix.
Abstract This article stems from a research project about mediation experiences and transformational conflict management in areas affected by the armed conflict in Colombia. The first finding states that in the midst of repeated violence cycles, people have achieved a "pacifist empowerment". They have overcome and called upon their capacities to transform conflicts and restore social structure. The second one, concerning self-work, is the symbolic approach when dealing with conflict and educating in peaceful coexisting ways. The identified cultural resources served as the basis for creating digital training content that will contribute to the country's Cátedra de Paz in the country. Therefore, specific experiences were transformed into training contents aimed at building peace instead of using contents based on provisions or theories.
RESUMO
Objetivo: evaluar la estructura interna, invarianza de medida, validez de criterio y confiabilidad del CASM-85 en estudiantes de secundaria peruanos. Materiales y Métodos: se evaluaron 2075 estudiantes de ambos sexos, entre 11 y 18 años, provenientes de colegios nacionales y particulares de Arequipa, Chimbote, Lima y Pucallpa. Se realizó un análisis de la correlación ítem-ítem e ítemresto para cada dimensión del CASM-85, un análisis factorial confirmatorio y modelos MIMIC (Multiple Indicator, Multiple Cause) para evaluar la invarianza de medida a través de grupos según sexo, edad, colegio y ciudad. La confiabilidad fue estimada mediante los coeficientes Alpha y Omega. La validez de criterio entre el CASM-85 y el rendimiento académico se revisó a través de la r de Pearson y modelos de regresión. Resultados: se eliminaron ítems heterogéneos y se obtuvo una forma reducida de 45 ítems a compararse con su original de 53 ítems. Para la forma original el CFI y TLI fue < .9 en todas las ciudades, mientras que para la forma reducida fue < . 9 solo en Chimbote. Los SRMR y RMSEA fueron ≤ .10 y ≤ .09 para las formas original y reducida respectivamente. Los modelos MIMIC confirmaron invarianza para todas las variables excepto para la variable ciudad con la forma original (│ΔCFI│ = .09, │ΔTLI│ = .08). La confiabilidad fue moderada tanto para la forma original (Ω ≥ .68; α ≥ .81) como para la reducida (Ω ≥ .77; α ≥ .84). La r de Pearson mostró una relación positiva y de fuerza débil para la forma original (r = .17) y reducida (r = .18). Conclusión: la forma reducida del CASM-85 (45 ítems) ha mostrado mejores propiedades psicométricas que su forma original.
Objective: To assess the internal structure, measurement invariance, criterion validity and reliability of the CASM-85 in Peruvian high school students. Materials and methods: Two thousand seventy-five (2075) students of both sexes, aged 11 to 18 years, from public and private high schools of Arequipa, Chimbote, Lima and Pucallpa were evaluated. An item-item and item-rest correlation analysis for each dimension of the CASM- 85, a confirmatory factorial analysis and MIMIC (Multiple Indicator, Multiple Cause) models were used to evaluate the measurement invariance across the groups according to their sex, age, school and city. Reliability was estimated using alpha and omega coefficients. The criterion validity between the CASM-85 and academic performance was determined using Pearsons r and regression models. Results: The heterogeneous items were removed, obtaining a 45-item short form compared to the original 53-item form. In the original form, CFI and TLI were < .9 in all the cities, whereas in the short form, CFI and TLI were < .9 only in Chimbote. SRMR and RMSEA were ≤ .10 and ≤ .09 in the original and short forms, respectively. The MIMIC models confirmed the measurement invariance in all variables, with the exception of the original form between cities (│ΔCFI│ = .09, │ΔTLI│= .08). Reliability was moderate for both the original (Ω ≥ .68; α ≥ .81) and short forms (Ω ≥ .77; α ≥ .84). Pearsons r showed a positive and weak correlation in the original (r = .17, p < .001) and short (r = .18, p < .001) forms. Conclusion: The CASM-85 short form (45 items) has shown better psychometric properties than its original full form.

Introducción: La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) constituye un importante problema de salud que contribuye al desarrollo de alteraciones cardiovasculares como la insuficiencia cardíaca y la enfermedad cardiovascular arteriosclerótica (ECVA). Los objetivos de este estudio fueron determinar la prevalencia de ERC y evaluar su asociación con factores de riesgo cardiometabólicos y la ECVA. Métodos: Estudio observacional transversal realizado en el ámbito de atención primaria. Muestra aleatoria de base poblacional: 6.588 personas entre 18 y 102 años (tasa de respuesta: 66%). Se determinaron las tasas de prevalencia brutas y ajustadas por sexo y edad de ERC según KDIGO valorando albuminuria y filtrado glomerular estimado según CKD-EPI, y sus asociaciones con factores cardiometabólicos y ECVA. Resultados: La prevalencia cruda de ERC fue 11,48% (IC95%: 10,7212,27%), sin diferencia significativa entre hombres (11,64% [IC95%: 10,4912,86%]) y mujeres (11,35% [IC95%: 10,3412,41%]). La tasa de prevalencia ajustada por edad y sexo de ERC fue 9,16% (hombres: 8,61%; mujeres: 9,69%). La prevalencia del filtrado glomerular estimado reducido (<60mL/min/1,73m2) y de albuminuria (≥30mg/g) fueron 7,95% (IC95%: 7,308,61) y 5,98% (IC95%: 5,416,55), respectivamente. Hipertensión, diabetes, prediabetes, índice cintura-talla aumentado, insuficiencia cardíaca, fibrilación auricular y ECVA se asociaban independientemente con ERC (p<0,001). El 77,51% (IC95%: 74,5480,49) de la población con ERC tenía un riesgo cardiovascular muy alto según SCORE. Conclusiones: La prevalencia ajustada de ERC era del 9,2% (filtrado glomerular estimado reducido: 8%; albuminuria: 6%). La mayoría de los pacientes con ERC tenía riesgo cardiovascular muy alto. Hipertensión, diabetes, prediabetes, índice cintura-talla aumentado y ECVA se asociaban independientemente con la ERC.(AU)
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem that contributes to the development of cardiovascular disorders such as heart failure and arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD). The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of CKD and to assess its association with ACVD and cardiometabolic risk factors. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study conducted in primary care setting. Population-based random sample: 6,588 people between 18 and 102 years old (response rate: 66%). Crude and sex- and age-adjusted prevalence rates of CKD according to KDIGO were determined by assessing albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate according to CKD-EPI, and their associations with cardiometabolic factors and ACVD were determined. Results: The crude prevalence of CKD was 11.48% (95%CI: 10.7212.27%), without significant difference between men (11.64% [95%CI: 10.4912.86%]) and women (11.35% [95%CI: 10.3412.41%]). The age- and sex-adjusted prevalence rate of CKD was 9.16% (men: 8.61%; women: 9.69%). The prevalence of low estimated glomerular filtration rate (<60mL/min/1.73m2) and albuminuria (≥30mg/g) were 7.95% (95%CI: 7.308.61) and 5.98% (95%CI: 5.416.55), respectively. Hypertension, diabetes, prediabetes, increased waist-to-height ratio, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and ACVD were independently associated with CKD (P<.001). Very high cardiovascular risk according to SCORE was found in 77.51% (95%CI: 74.5480.49) of the population with CKD. Conclusions: The adjusted prevalence of CKD was 9.2% (low estimated glomerular filtration rate: 8.0%; albuminuria: 6.0%). Most of the patients with CKD had very high cardiovascular risk. Hypertension, diabetes, prediabetes, increased waist-to-height ratio and ACVD were independently associated with CKD.(AU)

RESUMEN Objetivo. Evaluar la confiabilidad y validez del Institutional Review Board Researcher Assessment Tool (IRB-RAT) traducido y adaptado culturalmente para los comités de ética en investigación (CEI) peruanos. Materiales y métodos. El IRB-RAT es un instrumento que determina como son percibidos los CEI por los investigadores en función a ocho factores, mediante dos formatos: 1) importancia en el trabajo del investigador y 2) descriptivo del CEI evaluado. Su versión original en inglés se tradujo y adaptó culturalmente al español, con el apoyo de expertos y representantes de la población objetivo. Luego, según las respuestas de 113 usuarios, se identificaron y eliminaron los ítems heterogéneos hasta obtener una versión final de 29 ítems. La confiabilidad de esta versión se revisó mediante α de Cronbach y coeficiente omega, su validez de estructura interna mediante un análisis factorial confirmatorio con el método de mínimos cuadrados no ponderados. Resultados. La traducción y adaptación cultural cumplió con los pasos recomendados internacionalmente. La confiabilidad a nivel de los ocho factores fue moderada para el formato 1 (0,67<α<0,89; 0,71<ω<0,89) y alta para el formato 2 (0,83<α<0,92; 0,85<ω<0,92). La validez de contenido fue alta a nivel de ítems y moderada para los factores. La validez de estructura interna fue buena para el formato 1 (AGFI=0,97, GFI=0,97, NFI=0,97, RMR=0,04) y moderadamente buena para el formato 2 (AGFI=0,99, GFI=0,99, NFI=0,99, RMR=0,10). Conclusión. Nuestra adaptación al español del IRB-RAT tiene confiabilidad y validez suficientes para asistir en la mejora continua de los CEI del medio peruano y otros similares de habla hispana.
ABSTRACT Objective. To assess the reliability and validity of the translated and culturally-adapted Institutional Review Board Researcher Assessment Tool (IRB-RAT) for Peruvian research ethics committees (RECs). Materials and Methods. The IRB-RAT is an instrument that determines how RECs are perceived by researchers based on eight factors, using two formats: 1) importance in the work of the researcher and 2) descriptive of the REC being evaluated. Its original English version was translated and culturally adapted into Spanish, with the support of experts and representatives of the target population. Then, according to the responses of 113 users, the heterogeneous items were identified and eliminated until a final version of 29 items was obtained. The reliability of this version was reviewed using Cronbach's α and omega coefficient, its internal structure validity through a confirmatory factor analysis with the unweighted least squares method. Results. Translation and cultural adaptation complied with internationally recommended steps. Reliability at the level of the eight factors was moderate for format 1 (0.67<α<0.89; 0.71<ω<0.89) and high for format 2 (0.83<α<0.92; 0.85<ω<0.92). Content validity was high at item level and moderate for factors. Internal structure validity was good for format 1 (AGFI=0.97, GFI=0.97, NFI=0.97, RMR=0.04) and moderately good for format 2 (AGFI=0.99, GFI=0.99, NFI=0.99, RMR=0.10). Conclusions. Our Spanish adaptation of the IRB-RAT has sufficient reliability and validity to assist in the continuous improvement of the RECs in Peru and other Spanish-speaking countries.

La alteración de los ciclos circadianos del ser humano puede conllevar a un aumento del riesgo cardiovascular al modificarse los mecanismos fisiológicos que intervienen en su control. Este estudio pretende describir el comportamiento de las cifras de tensión arterial en relación al turno de trabajo y estudiar si hay variaciones significativas en las mismas. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo con diseño estadístico de medidas repetidas realizado en los trabajadores del servicio de urgencias mediante un cuestionario y la automedición de la presión arterial. Se observó que la presión arterial en esta población tiene un comportamiento similar al de los hipertensos denominados
The disruption of circadian cycles of humans can lead to an increased cardiovascular risk by modifying the physiological mechanisms involved in its control. This study pretends to describe the behavior of blood pressure in relation to shift staff and examine whether there are significant variations in them. This is a descriptive study with repeated measures statistical design was carried out. It was conducted in the staff who works in the emergency department, through a questionnaire and self-measurement of blood. It was observed that blood pressure profile in the emergency staff is similar to that of hypertensive called
