Cuidado intercultural desde la estrategia de crecimiento y desarrollo al lactante mayor con desnutrición, Inkawasi 2015

La presente investigación cualitativa con enfoque etnográfico, tuvo como objetivos: Describir y comprender el cuidado intercultural desde la estrategia de crecimiento y desarrollo al lactante mayor con desnutrición – Inkawasi, 2015. La base teórica conceptual se fundamentó con Correa (2010), Leininger en Raile (2015), Carroll (2011), MINSA (2011) y Aguilar (2012). La muestra fue no probabilística determinada por saturación, siendo los informantes 10 madres que tuvieron niños lactantes mayores con diagnóstico de desnutrición crónica, madres bilingües que tuvieron más de dos hijos y se atienden en los establecimientos mencionados y 10 enfermeras que fueron responsables del consultorio de Crecimiento y desarrollo. Los escenarios fueron los hogares de las madres y los centros de salud de la Micro Red Inkawasi, las técnicas e instrumentos de recolección de datos fueron: la observación participante, la entrevista y diario de campo. Se usó el análisis temático, los principios de la ética personalista y los criterios de rigor científico. Como resultado se obtuvieron tres temas culturales: 1.Primer contacto intercultural y diagnóstico nutricional: Consultorio de crecimiento y desarrollo ambientado con materiales nativos; 2. Alimentación, suplementación y monitoreo al lactante mayor con desnutrición: dicotomía cultural; 3. Barreras culturales que impiden mejorar el estado. Se infiere que para brindar un cuidado con enfoque intercultural, es necesario ambientar los consultorios con aspectos culturales de la zona, además de aprender algunas frases o palabras comunes que motivan la familiaridad entre la madre y el lactante mayor; la enfermera cuando diagnostica niños con desnutrición los controla mensualmente, brinda consejería nutricional teniendo en cuenta los alimentos de la zona y el uso adecuado de los micronutrientes, haciendo seguimiento y monitoreo permanente; sin embargo existen barreras culturales como el idioma, cosmovisión, falta de recursos económicos y sanitarios.

El objetivo del presente estudio es determinar la frecuencia de interferencias oclusales en pacientes edéntulos parciales clase III de Kennedy, que acuden a la Clínica Odontológica de la Universidad Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo de la provincia de Chiclayo, 2015. El diseño del estudio fue transversal y descriptivo. La población de estudio fue representada por 40 pacientes de la clínica odontológica universitaria que cumplieron con los criterios de selección. Se diseñó una ficha de recolección de datos. Se capacitó y se realizó la calibración intra e interexaminador de los investigadores gracias a la participación de un especialista en Rehabilitación Oral, a fin de lograr una estandarización en los criterios de evaluación, verificado mediante índice de Kappa. Se encontró que el 73% del total de los pacientes presentaban interferencias oclusales en céntrica, el 53% en protrusiva, el 80% en lateralidad derecha y el 65% en lateralidad izquierda. Para obtener los resultados de nuestro estudio utilizamos el software Microsoft Excel. Básandonos en nuestros resultados, la mayoría de pacientes edéntulos parciales clase III de Kennedy, presentaron interferencias oclusales, tanto en céntrica, protrusiva, lateralidad derecha e izquierda.

Case-based reasoning in course timetabling: an attribute graph approach

An earlier Case-based Reasoning (CBR) approach developed by the authors for educational course timetabling problems employed structured cases to represent the complex relationships between courses. Previous solved cases represented by attribute graphs were organized hierarchically into a decision tree. The retrieval searches for graph isomorphism among these attribute graphs. In this paper, the approach is further developed to solve a wider range of problems. We also attempt to retrieve those graphs that have common similar structures but also have some differences. Costs that are assigned to these differences have an input upon the similarity measure. A large number of experiments are performed consisting of different randomly produced timetabling problems and the results presented here strongly indicate that a CBR approach could provide a significant step forward in the development of automated system to solve difficult timetabling problems. They show that using relatively little effort, we can retrieve these structurally similar cases to provide high quality timetables for new timetabling problems.

WONCA Rural Medical Education Guidebook

We are very excited to launch the WONCA Rural Medical Education Guidebook at the 12th WONCA World Rural Health Conference, Gramado, Brazil. The roots for the Guidebook go back to 1992 when a very important meeting was held on the sidelines of the WONCA Global Family Doctor conference in Vancouver, Canada. At this meeting an interested group of rural practitioners saw the need for WONCA to develop a specific focus on rural doctors. As a result, the WONCA Working Party on Rural Practice (WWPRP) was formed. The group set about producing a visionary roadmap for rural medical education in the form of a seminal document, the WONCA policy on Training for Rural Practice 1995. This was followed four years later by further recommendations made in a companion document, the WONCA policy on Rural Health and Rural Practice 1999, which was revised in 2001.

Dendritic Cells for Anomaly Detection

Artificial immune systems, more specifically the negative selection algorithm, have previously been applied to intrusion detection. The aim of this research is to develop an intrusion detection system based on a novel concept in immunology, the Danger Theory. Dendritic Cells (DCs) are antigen presenting cells and key to the activation of the human immune system. DCs perform the vital role of combining signals from the host tissue and correlate these signals with proteins known as antigens. In algorithmic terms, individual DCs perform multi-sensor data fusion based on time-windows. The whole population of DCs asynchronously correlates the fused signals with a secondary data stream. The behaviour of human DCs is abstracted to form the DC Algorithm (DCA), which is implemented using an immune inspired framework, libtissue. This system is used to detect context switching for a basic machine learning dataset and to detect outgoing portscans in real-time. Experimental results show a significant difference between an outgoing portscan and normal traffic.

Libtissue - Implementing Innate Immunity

In a previous paper the authors argued the case for incorporating ideas from innate immunity into artificial immune systems (AISs) and presented an outline for a conceptualframework for such systems. A number of key general properties observed in the biological innate and adaptive immune systems were highlighted, and how such properties might be instantiated in artificial systems was discussed in detail. The next logical step is to take these ideas and build a software system with which AISs with these properties can be implemented and experimentally evaluated. This paper reports on the results of that step - the libtissue system.

Genetic Polymorphisms in Replication-related Genes and Risk of Breast Cancer Among European and East Asian Women

Background: The role of common, low to intermediate risk alleles in breast cancer need to be examined due to their relatively high prevalence. Among many cellular pathways, replication has a pivotal role in cell division and frequently targeted during carcinogenesis. Replication is governed by a host of genes involved in a number of different pathways. This study investigates the effects of replication-gene variants in relation to breast cancer and how this relationship is affected by ethnicity, menopausal status and breast tumour subtype. Methods: Data from a case-control study with 997 incident breast cancer cases and 1,050 age frequency matched controls in Vancouver, British Columbia and Kingston, Ontario were used. Unconditional logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios between 45 replication gene variants and breast cancer risk, assuming an additive genetic model adjusted for age and centre, presented for Europeans and East Asians separately. Polytomous logistic regression was used to assess odds ratios between each SNP and four breast cancer subtypes defined by hormone receptor status among Europeans. All analyses were stratified by menopausal status. The Benjamini–Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) was used to address multiple comparisons. Results: Among Europeans, the SNPs in FGFR2, TOX3 and 11q13 loci were associated with breast cancer after controlling for multiple comparisons. Test of heterogeneity showed the SNPs rs1045185, rs4973768, rs672888, rs1219648, rs2420946 among Europeans and rs889312 among East Asians conferred differential risk across the tumour subtypes. Conclusions: Specific SNPs in replication genes were associated with breast cancer, and the risk level differed by tumour subtype defined by ER/PR/Her2 status and ethnicity.
