Background: The epidemiological evidence on the interaction between heat and ambient air pollution on mortality is still inconsistent. Objectives: To investigate the interaction between heat and ambient air pollution on daily mortality in a large dataset of 620 cities from 36 countries. Methods: We used daily data on all-cause mortality, air temperature, particulate matter ≤ 10 μm (PM10), PM ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ozone (O3) from 620 cities in 36 countries in the period 1995–2020. We restricted the analysis to the six consecutive warmest months in each city. City-specific data were analysed with over-dispersed Poisson regression models, followed by a multilevel random-effects meta-analysis. The joint association between air temperature and air pollutants was modelled with product terms between non-linear functions for air temperature and linear functions for air pollutants. Results: We analyzed 22,630,598 deaths. An increase in mean temperature from the 75th to the 99th percentile of city-specific distributions was associated with an average 8.9 % (95 % confidence interval: 7.1 %, 10.7 %) mortality increment, ranging between 5.3 % (3.8 %, 6.9 %) and 12.8 % (8.7 %, 17.0 %), when daily PM10 was equal to 10 or 90 μg/m3, respectively. Corresponding estimates when daily O3 concentrations were 40 or 160 μg/m3 were 2.9 % (1.1 %, 4.7 %) and 12.5 % (6.9 %, 18.5 %), respectively. Similarly, a 10 μg/m3 increment in PM10 was associated with a 0.54 % (0.10 %, 0.98 %) and 1.21 % (0.69 %, 1.72 %) increase in mortality when daily air temperature was set to the 1st and 99th city-specific percentiles, respectively. Corresponding mortality estimate for O3 across these temperature percentiles were 0.00 % (-0.44 %, 0.44 %) and 0.53 % (0.38 %, 0.68 %). Similar effect modification results, although slightly weaker, were found for PM2.5 and NO2. Conclusions: Suggestive evidence of effect modification between air temperature and air pollutants on mortality during the warm period was found in a global dataset of 620 cities.

Metal pollution and distribution in marine surface (0-5 cm) sediments of the Baja California border region were characterized during 1989. The total organic carbon, clay, silt and sand contents in the sediments and their correlation with the metals examined were also analysed. The results show higher concentrations (µg g–1 dry weight) of Al (7493), Mn (78.8) Cr (24.2) Zn (16.5) Cu (6.2) Cd (0.29) and Ag (0.30) in sediments of the 60-m isobath, with a gradient in their concentrations toward the shoreline. Analyses of simple correlation, principal components and similarity indicate that this behaviour is explained by the association of the elements with grain size and with silicoaluminate and organic matter contents. The possible influence of pollution and productivity phenomena as other processes that may control the distribution and origin of the metals in the study area, particularly Cd and Ag, is also noted. The results obtained show a decrease in Zn (15%), Cu (16%) Ag (20%) and Cd (22%) with respect to the values measured in coastal sediments of San Diego, California, in 1979.

- Abstract
Background: Accurate assessments of current and future fertility-including overall trends and changing population age structures across countries and regions-are essential to help plan for the profound social, economic, environmental, and geopolitical challenges that these changes will bring. Estimates and projections of fertility are necessary to inform policies involving resource and health-care needs, labour supply, education, gender equality, and family planning and support. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 produced up-to-date and comprehensive demographic assessments of key fertility indicators at global, regional, and national levels from 1950 to 2021 and forecast fertility metrics to 2100 based on a reference scenario and key policy-dependent alternative scenarios. Methods: To estimate fertility indicators from 1950 to 2021, mixed-effects regression models and spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression were used to synthesise data from 8709 country-years of vital and sample registrations, 1455 surveys and censuses, and 150 other sources, and to generate age-specific fertility rates (ASFRs) for 5-year age groups from age 10 years to 54 years. ASFRs were summed across age groups to produce estimates of total fertility rate (TFR). Livebirths were calculated by multiplying ASFR and age-specific female population, then summing across ages 10-54 years. To forecast future fertility up to 2100, our Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) forecasting model was based on projections of completed cohort fertility at age 50 years (CCF50; the average number of children born over time to females from a specified birth cohort), which yields more stable and accurate measures of fertility than directly modelling TFR. CCF50 was modelled using an ensemble approach in which three sub-models (with two, three, and four covariates variously consisting of female educational attainment, contraceptive met need, population density in

Min oscillations are a fascinating mechanism used by Escherichia coli to find their middle. Beyond their biological role, they provide a convenient and relatively unexplored method to monitor the effect of sublethal environmental challenges on bacterial physiology in real-time and at the single-cell level. In this review, we discuss the original papers that put forward the idea of using Min oscillations as a reporting tool to monitor the effect of extracellular cationic compounds, including antibiotics. More recent work from our laboratory explores this tool to follow bacterial response to other challenges such as weak mechanical interactions with nanomaterials or photodynamic treatment. We discuss the physiological meaning of the changes in Min oscillation period, likely related to membrane potential dynamics, as well as the benefits and limitations of using oscillations as a reporter in fluorescence microscopy. Overall, Min oscillations are a useful addition to the fluorescence microscopy toolbox in order to visualize stress responses in E. coli, and have the potential to provide full mechanistic understanding of the events that lead to bacterial cell death in different contexts.

BackgroundEstimating and analyzing trends and patterns of health loss are essential to promote efficient resource allocation and improve Peru’s healthcare system performance.MethodsUsing estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (2019), we assessed mortality and disability in Peru from 1990 to 2019. We report demographic and epidemiologic trends in terms of population, life expectancy at birth (LE), mortality, incidence, prevalence, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) caused by the major diseases and risk factors in Peru. Finally, we compared Peru with 16 countries in the Latin American (LA) region.ResultsThe Peruvian population reached 33.9 million inhabitants (49.9% women) in 2019. From 1990 to 2019, LE at birth increased from 69.2 (95% uncertainty interval 67.8–70.3) to 80.3 (77.2–83.2) years. This increase was driven by the decline in under-5 mortality (−80.7%) and mortality from infectious diseases in older age groups (+60 years old). The number of DALYs in 1990 was 9.2 million (8.5–10.1) and reached 7.5 million (6.1–9.0) in 2019. The proportion of DALYs due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) increased from 38.2% in 1990 to 67.9% in 2019. The all-ages and age-standardized DALYs rates and YLLs rates decreased, but YLDs rates remained constant. In 2019, the leading causes of DALYs were neonatal disorders, lower respiratory infections (LRIs), ischemic heart disease, road injuries, and low back pain. The leading risk factors associated with DALYs in 2019 were undernutrition, high body mass index, high fasting plasma glucose, and air pollution. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Peru experienced one of the highest LRIs-DALYs rates in the LA region.ConclusionIn the last three decades, Peru experienced significant improvements in LE and child survival and an increase in the burden of NCDs and associated disability. The Peruvian healthcare system must be redesigned to respond to this epidemiological transition. The new design should aim to reduce premature deaths and maintain healthy longevity, focusing on effective coverage and treatment of NCDs and reducing and managing the related disability.

Mechanobactericidal nanomaterials, such as low‐dimensional nanoparticles in suspension or high‐aspect‐ratio nanofabricated topographies, rely on their mechanical or physical interactions with bacteria and are promising antimicrobial strategies that overcome bacterial resistance to classical antibiotics. However, the underlying killing mechanisms are poorly understood, given the challenges associated with the real‐time characterization of the mechanical interaction in a biologically relevant environment. Indeed, different death mechanisms have been proposed depending on the magnitude of the interaction forces. Herein, the real‐time and single‐cell response of bacteria to weak mechanical interactions with nanostructured topographies and “nanodarts,” exemplified by flowing single‐walled carbon nanotubes, is investigated. To that end, an advanced reporting strategy is used to follow sublethal physiological effects on bacteria upon contact with these materials. With this method, it is estimated that the contact time at which the initial stages of bacterial death occur is in the order of a few tens of minutes. This information contributes to a full understanding of the complex mechanisms of mechanically induced bacterial death.

Por un lado, en México, el estado de Oaxaca ha ocupado en años consecutivos los primeros lugares a nivel nacional en la producción de papaya (Carica papaya L.). Por otro lado, las plantaciones son altamente susceptibles al ataque de tipo viral, uno de los más devastadores es la papaya ringspot virus (PRSV). Debido a lo anterior se diseñaron tres oligonucleótidos específicos que permiten la identificación del PRSV mediante la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa acoplada a una transcriptasa reversa (RT-PCR). Los oligonucleótidos fueron diseñados por el software Vector NTI Advance ® V11.5 que amplificaron tres fragmentos de 857 pares de bases (pb), 583 pb y 213 pb de regiones conservadas del genoma viral. Para comprobar el desempeño de los oligonuceótidos se realizaron extracciones de ácido ribonucleico (ARN) de tejido foliar de papaya con signos del PRSV utilizando TRIzolTM y el Kit SuperScriptTM III One-Step RT-PCR System para la técnica de RT-PCR. Los resultados de la amplificación fueron analizados en un gel de agarosa donde los amplicones coincidieron con el tamaño esperado al diseño preliminar.

Management of Technology and Innovation - Abstract
In Laos, pork is the second most common meat source after fish and its demand is constantly growing annually. Recently, pork has been in short supply in urban and rural areas, forcing the Lao government to import thousands of tons from neighbouring countries, particularly Thailand, Vietnam, and China. In view of the earlier-mentioned, this study aimed to look at the current situation of pork production and supply in Vientiane Capital (VC) and the prospects for pork production in VC, Laos. In 2020, Laos had a pig population of about 4.3 million, with over 91.0% being native pigs and only 366,000 heads being European pig types, with over 54.0% being reared in VC. In 2019, Laos had 578 commercial pig farms, with 188 farms (33.0%) of which were located in VC. Despite the fact that most of the commercial pig farms are located in VC, pork demand is still high, with the consequence that consumers need to pay a high price. For example, in 2020, the average price of pork was 46,000 LAK/kg ($ 4.00); it rose up by 22.0% against 2019 and by 11.0% from 2015. Several feed raw materials (maize, cassava, and rice bran) are produced in VC, and nearby provinces, which the farmers can use to combat the dramatic changes or instabilities of feed price. We concluded that there is a high potential to develop pig production in VC, especially local breeds considering the high demand for premium pork and more available raw feed materials.

Summary: Background: Lymphatic filariasis is a neglected tropical disease that can cause permanent disability through disruption of the lymphatic system. This disease is caused by parasitic filarial worms that are transmitted by mosquitos. Mass drug administration (MDA) of antihelmintics is recommended by WHO to eliminate lymphatic filariasis as a public health problem. This study aims to produce the first geospatial estimates of the global prevalence of lymphatic filariasis infection over time, to quantify progress towards elimination, and to identify geographical variation in distribution of infection. Methods: A global dataset of georeferenced surveyed locations was used to model annual 2000–18 lymphatic filariasis prevalence for 73 current or previously endemic countries. We applied Bayesian model-based geostatistics and time series methods to generate spatially continuous estimates of global all-age 2000–18 prevalence of lymphatic filariasis infection mapped at a resolution of 5 km2 and aggregated to estimate total number of individuals infected. Findings: We used 14 927 datapoints to fit the geospatial models. An estimated 199 million total individuals (95% uncertainty interval 174–234 million) worldwide were infected with lymphatic filariasis in 2000, with totals for WHO regions ranging from 3·1 million (1·6–5·7 million) in the region of the Americas to 107 million (91–134 million) in the South-East Asia region. By 2018, an estimated 51 million individuals (43–63 million) were infected. Broad declines in prevalence are observed globally, but focal areas in Africa and southeast Asia remain less likely to have attained infection prevalence thresholds proposed to achieve local elimination. Interpretation: Although the prevalence of lymphatic filariasis infection has declined since 2000, MDA is still necessary across large populations in Africa and Asia. Our mapped estimates can be used to identify areas where the probability of meeting infection thresholds is low, and when coupled with large uncertainty in the predictions, indicate additional data collection or intervention might be warranted before MDA programmes cease. Funding: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Public aspects of medicine ,RA1-1270 - Abstract
Summary: Background: Oral rehydration solution (ORS) is a form of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for diarrhoea that has the potential to drastically reduce child mortality; yet, according to UNICEF estimates, less than half of children younger than 5 years with diarrhoea in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) received ORS in 2016. A variety of recommended home fluids (RHF) exist as alternative forms of ORT; however, it is unclear whether RHF prevent child mortality. Previous studies have shown considerable variation between countries in ORS and RHF use, but subnational variation is unknown. This study aims to produce high-resolution geospatial estimates of relative and absolute coverage of ORS, RHF, and ORT (use of either ORS or RHF) in LMICs. Methods: We used a Bayesian geostatistical model including 15 spatial covariates and data from 385 household surveys across 94 LMICs to estimate annual proportions of children younger than 5 years of age with diarrhoea who received ORS or RHF (or both) on continuous continent-wide surfaces in 2000–17, and aggregated results to policy-relevant administrative units. Additionally, we analysed geographical inequality in coverage across administrative units and estimated the number of diarrhoeal deaths averted by increased coverage over the study period. Uncertainty in the mean coverage estimates was calculated by taking 250 draws from the posterior joint distribution of the model and creating uncertainty intervals (UIs) with the 2·5th and 97·5th percentiles of those 250 draws. Findings: While ORS use among children with diarrhoea increased in some countries from 2000 to 2017, coverage remained below 50% in the majority (62·6%; 12 417 of 19 823) of second administrative-level units and an estimated 6 519 000 children (95% UI 5 254 000–7 733 000) with diarrhoea were not treated with any form of ORT in 2017. Increases in ORS use corresponded with declines in RHF in many locations, resulting in relatively constant overall ORT coverage from 2000 to 2017. Although ORS was uniformly distributed subnationally in some countries, within-country geographical inequalities persisted in others; 11 countries had at least a 50% difference in one of their units compared with the country mean. Increases in ORS use over time were correlated with declines in RHF use and in diarrhoeal mortality in many locations, and an estimated 52 230 diarrhoeal deaths (36 910–68 860) were averted by scaling up of ORS coverage between 2000 and 2017. Finally, we identified key subnational areas in Colombia, Nigeria, and Sudan as examples of where diarrhoeal mortality remains higher than average, while ORS coverage remains lower than average. Interpretation: To our knowledge, this study is the first to produce and map subnational estimates of ORS, RHF, and ORT coverage and attributable child diarrhoeal deaths across LMICs from 2000 to 2017, allowing for tracking progress over time. Our novel results, combined with detailed subnational estimates of diarrhoeal morbidity and mortality, can support subnational needs assessments aimed at furthering policy makers' understanding of within-country disparities. Over 50 years after the discovery that led to this simple, cheap, and life-saving therapy, large gains in reducing mortality could still be made by reducing geographical inequalities in ORS coverage.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death. The combination of new molecular classifications with clinicopathological data could contribute to the individualization of patients and to the development of new therapeutic strategies. We examined the various associations in two molecular types of GC: HER2-positive (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) and microsatellite instability (MSI), assessing their influence on treatment and prognosis. A retrospective study of 142 GC patients was performed with molecular characterization through HER2 overexpression and DNA repair protein expression for MSI. The percentage of HER2-positive tumors was 13.4%, predominantly in men. Correlations were found with intestinal type, metastases, advanced stages and chemotherapy. Almost 75% of HER2-positive patients died. MSI occurred in 16.2%, associated with advanced age, female sex, distal location and intestinal type. These patients had few metastases and low stages. The percentage of deaths was higher among MSI patients who received perioperative chemotherapy. The determination of HER2 and MSI status in GC is important for their association with specific clinicopathological features and for their prognostic and predictive value.

- Abstract
The survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has not changed significantly in several decades, leading clinicians and investigators to search for promising molecular targets. To this end, we conducted comprehensive genomic analysis of gene expression, copy number, methylation, and point mutations in OSCC. Integrated analysis revealed more somatic events than previously reported, identifying four major driver pathways (mitogenic signaling, Notch, cell cycle, and TP53) and two additional key genes (FAT1, CASP8). The Notch pathway was defective in 66% of patients, and in follow-up studies of mechanism, functional NOTCH1 signaling inhibited proliferation of OSCC cell lines. Frequent mutation of caspase-8 (CASP8) defines a new molecular subtype of OSCC with few copy number changes. Although genomic alterations are dominated by loss of tumor suppressor genes, 80% of patients harbored at least one genomic alteration in a targetable gene, suggesting that novel approaches to treatment may be possible for this debilitating subset of head and neck cancers.Significance: This is the first integrated genomic analysis of OSCC. Only through integrated multiplatform analysis was it possible to identify four key pathways. We also discovered a new disease subtype associated with CASP8 and HRAS mutation. Finally, many candidate targetable events were found and provide hope for future genomically driven therapeutic strategies.

- Abstract
Purpose: Epidemiologic studies have identified an increasing incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue (SCCOT) in younger patients.Experimental Design: DNA isolated from tongue tumors of young (45 years) patients at was subjected to whole-exome sequencing and copy-number analysis. These data were compared with data from similar patients in the TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) project.Results: In this study, we found that gene-specific mutation and copy-number alteration frequencies were similar between young and old patients with SCCOT in two independent cohorts. Likewise, the types of base changes observed in the young cohort were similar to those in the old cohort even though they differed in smoking history. TCGA data also demonstrate that the genomic effects of smoking are tumor site–specific, and we find that smoking has only a minor impact on the types of mutations observed in SCCOT.Conclusions: Overall, tumors from young patients with SCCOT appear genomically similar to those of older patients with SCCOT, and the cause for the increasing incidence of young SCCOT remains unknown. These data indicate that the functional impact of smoking on carcinogenesis in SCCOT is still poorly understood. Clin Cancer Res; 20(14); 3842–8. ©2014 AACR.

To investigate whether sonographic fetal head circumference (sfHC) size assessed by ultrasound prenatally could help predict OASIS.This study is a retrospective cohort study between 2005 and 2016. Antenatal sfHC assessment, maternal demographics, and labor and delivery data were abstracted and compared in women with and without OASIS.Of 2057 pregnant women that had sfHC assessment, 121 (5.8%) had OASIS. In the unadjusted analysis, sfHC above the 90th centile was associated with OASIS (odds ratio [OR] 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.23; P = 0.015). When adjusted for gestational age at delivery, maternal age, race, prolonged second stage, body mass index, infant gender, and intrapartum oxytocin use, sfHC above the 90th centile remained significantly associated with OASIS (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.00-1.27, P = 0.050).In our cohort, sfHC above the 90th centile was associated with a greater risk of OASIS. As OASIS significantly impacts both short-term and long-term health outcomes, such as perineal pain, dyspareunia, and urinary and fecal incontinence, sfHC could be an additional prenatal marker to help clinicians counsel pregnant women about the risk of OASIS.

The aim of our study was to characterize urogenital symptoms in women with and without constipation, and by severity of constipation. This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a pelvic floor disorder center in a tertiary healthcare facility from May 2007 through August 2019 and completed an intake questionnaire were included. We collected demographic, physical exam data and quality of life outcomes. The Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6) was used to assess urogenital symptoms. Women with constipation completed the Constipation Severity Instrument (CSI). We excluded women with a history of a bowel resection, inflammatory bowel disease, or pelvic organ prolapse symptoms. The cohort was then divided into two groups, constipated and non-constipated, and the prevalence and severity of urogenital-associated symptoms were compared. A secondary analysis was made among constipated subjects stratified by constipation severity based on CSI scores. During the study period, 875 women (59.5%) had chronic constipation. Women with chronic constipation were more likely to experience urogenital symptoms, such as dyspareunia, urinary hesitancy, and a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying (all p

INTRODUCCIÓN Los sistemas de producción de leche en el Ecuador varían desde intensivos a extensivos, estos dependen directamente del manejo reproductivo, sanitario y nutricional, elementos fundamentales para una producción óptima de la explotación ganadera (Chilpe, 2015). La provincia del Azuay, por su ubicación geográfica, posee 3 pisos altitudinales: zona sierra, estribación y costanera; en cada una de estas, el propósito de las ganaderías difiere. Además, estas zonas se caracterizan por la presencia de ganaderías pequeñas (50 ha) (SINAGAP, 2012). Un elevado porcentaje de ganaderías en la zona en estudio, es manejada de forma tradicional, estas no cuentan con registros, lo que impide un manejo adecuado de los parámetros productivos y reproductivos, lo cual afecta la rentabilidad del productor (Dávalos, 2005). El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar las características productivas de las ganaderías pertenecientes a los Cantones occidentales de la provincia del Azuay.

INTRODUCCIÓN La zoometría permite cuantificar rasgos corporales, determinar medidas concretas y sus variaciones normales en una población. Además, ayuda a establecer relaciones y diferencias en una determinada raza, cuyos caracteres pueden ser influenciados por el medio ambiente (Contreras, Chirinos, Sambrano, Molero, & Paez, 2011); sin embargo, el tamaño y peso corporal de la vaca lechera son factores fundamentales para dilucidar en qué dirección debe seleccionarse los animales para obtener mayor eficiencia, rentabilidad y longevidad en una determinada explotación. La vaca Holstein americana adulta, pesa entre 600 y 700 kg, el tamaño de los animales de esta raza es superior a 150 cm. En nuestro país, especialmente en la provincia del Azuay, la información de los parámetros productivos, reproductivos y morfológicos del genotipo Holstein Friesian mestizo, adaptado a nuestro medio, es escasa, lo que impide la comparación de estos parámetros con otros han sido obtenido a nivel internacional (Harris & Kolver, 2001). El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar la relación entre el número de partos, edad y morfoestructura del genotipo Holstein mestizo; alimentado bajo un sistema de pastoreo, en la región centro sur del Ecuador, Provincia del Azuay.

INTRODUCCIÓN La mastitis es una enfermedad de la glándula mamaria que afecta sobre todo a las vacas de alta producción, puede presentarse de forma sintomática (clínica) y asintomática (subclínica) que, al no poder ser identificada pasa desapercibida. Martínez, Cruz-Carrillo, Millán, & Moreno-Figueroa (2015) determinaron que la forma clínica se presenta apenas en un 0.66%, mientras que la subclínica en un 98.6%; además, se caracteriza por disminución del volumen de producción, y el aumento de células somáticas con cambios importantes en la composición de la leche, lo que afecta su calidad y la economía del productor. Manjarrez, Díaz, Salazar, Valladares, Gutiérrez et al. (2012) observaron que en hatos pequeños existía una mayor prevalencia de mastitis subclínica; además, según los mismos autores, el ordeño no higiénico predispone al desarrollo de esta enfermedad. Según Ramírez (2015), las vacas a las cuales no se realiza una correcta rutina de ordeño (lavado, secado, despunte, pre-sellado, sellado) tienen mayor riesgo de contraer mastitis subclínica; así mismo, considera que la higiene de la ubre es el principal factor que predispone la presencia de esta enfermedad. Por lo cual el objetivo del estudio fue determinar la influencia de la rutina de ordeño y tamaño del hato sobre la prevalencia de la mastitis subclínica en la región centro sur del Ecuador.

Se evaluó el pensamiento creativo en mujeres con diferentes orientaciones sexuales, para analizar si hay diferencias entre las puntuaciones del pensamiento creativo. Se evaluaron tres grupos, homosexual, bisexual y heterosexual, con un total de 31 participantes mujeres entre 18 y 30 años, con licenciatura o posgrado, mediante el Test de Torrance de Pensamiento Creativo (TTPC); los puntajes fueron analizados con una prueba Kruskall-Wallis. Se encontraron diferencias significativas para la subescala flexibilidad en creatividad verbal, teniendo las mujeres bisexuales el mejor desempeño. Para la subescala originalidad en creatividad figural se encontraron diferencias significativas entre mujeres heterosexuales y homosexuales, obteniendo estas los mayores puntajes. En la subescala resistencia al cierre de creatividad figural, las mujeres heterosexuales puntearon significativamente por debajo de los otros grupos. Los hallazgos sugieren para esta población características creativas expresadas de manera diferenciada entre diferentes orientaciones sexuales, las mismas que están siendo promovidas por propiedades creativas implicadas en el pensamiento divergente, y que parecieran poseer características particulares entre dichas orientaciones sexuales.

Se describió el proceso y producto creativo, funciones ejecutivas y el procesamiento visoespacial en diferentes orientaciones sexuales. La muestra estuvo compuesta por hombres y mujeres heterosexuales y homosexuales. Se evaluaron con el test de Torrance de pensamiento creativo, las tareas selección de refranes, clasificaciones semánticas, metamemoria, fluidez verbal, clasificación de cartas y memoria de trabajo visoespacial, figura compleja de Rey-Osterreith, escala Klein de orientación sexual, depresión, ansiedad e impulsividad. Los datos fueron analizados con un ANOVA de una vía y análisis de Pearson. Se obtuvieron diferencias significativas en originalidad figural para el grupo de mujeres homosexuales, respecto a las heterosexuales; al igual que un mayor puntaje en flexibilidad verbal para los hombres homosexuales en comparación con los heterosexuales. Los aciertos de los hombres heterosexuales fueron estadísticamente significativos respecto a los puntajes de las mujeres heterosexuales en fluidez figural. Las características creativas expresadas de diferente manera entre orientaciones sexuales son promovidas por propiedades creativas relacionadas al pensamiento divergente. Las diferencias en funciones ejecutivas indican estilos cognitivos eficientes para los grupos.

Background: The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year. Methods: For this analysis, we constructed burden-weighted dose-response relative risk curves across 22 health outcomes to estimate the theoretical minimum risk exposure level (TMREL) and non-drinker equivalence (NDE), the consumption level at which the health risk is equivalent to that of a non-drinker, using disease rates from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2020 for 21 regions, including 204 countries and territories, by 5-year age group, sex, and year for individuals aged 15-95 years and older from 1990 to 2020. Based on the NDE, we quantified the population consuming harmful amounts of alcohol. Findings: The burden-weighted relative risk curves for alcohol use varied by region and age. Among individuals aged 15-39 years in 2020, the TMREL varied between 0 (95% uncertainty interval 0-0) and 0·603 (0·400-1·00) standard drinks per day, and the NDE varied between 0·002 (0-0) and 1·75 (0·698-4·30) standard drinks per day. Among individuals aged 40 years and older, the burden-weighted relative risk curve was J-shaped for all regions, with a 2020 TMREL that ranged from 0·114 (0-0·403) to 1·87 (0·500-3·30) standard drinks per day and an NDE that ranged between 0·193 (0-0·900) and 6·94 (3·40-8·30) standard drinks per day. Among individuals consuming harmful amounts of alcohol in 2020, 59·1% (54·3-65·4) were aged 15-39 years and 76·9% (73·0-81·3) were male. Interpretation: There is strong evidence to support recommendations on alcohol consumption varying by age and location. Stronger interventions, particularly those tailored towards younger individuals, are needed to reduce the substantial global health loss attributable to alcohol.

Following the recent expansion of telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic, this remote model of care in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery will likely remain and continue to evolve.This study was conducted to assess patients' perceptions of and willingness to participate in a synchronous telemedicine visit beyond the COVID-19 pandemic for women with pelvic floor disorders.We conducted a cross-sectional study of women who completed a synchronous telemedicine visit from March 16 through May 22, 2020, at a urogynecology practice in an academic medical center. An electronic survey was distributed to women after all telemedicine visits. Demographic data, visit type, and survey responses were analyzed.Two hundred two women received the survey, and 135 women completed it (response rate of 66.8%). The mean age of the respondents was 62.9 ± 16.4 years, and the 3 most common visit diagnoses were overactive bladder (43.7%), stress urinary incontinence (22.2%), and pelvic organ prolapse (21.4%). Most survey participants (88.9%) found that the quality of their telemedicine visits was better than expected, and 89.6% reported that they would like to continue telemedicine care. Our survey showed that 19.4% of women reported difficulty with technology.We found that most women presenting for synchronous telemedicine urogynecology care had a positive visit experience and would continue to use telemedicine for their care. Further developmental work needs to be done on improving the ease of technology as well as availability of telemedicine in the care of women affected by pelvic floor disorders.

OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the association between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and midurethral sling (MUS) complications. METHODS This was a multihospital, retrospective cohort study from 2010 to 2020. We included all women with diabetes mellitus who underwent a synthetic mesh MUS procedure and had a preoperative HbA1c within 3 months of surgery. The primary outcome was a composite of complications, including MUS mesh exposure, surgical site granulation tissue or infection, urinary tract infection, surgical site pain beyond 6 weeks postoperatively, and MUS failure. A sensitivity analysis analyzing MUS failure alone was performed. RESULTS During the study period, 109 women met the inclusion criteria. Most were White (52.2%) and had a median body mass index of 31.2 kg/m2, and 84.9% were postmenopausal. Median HbA1c was 7.2% (interquartile range, 6.3%-7.7%). Urinary tract infection was the most common complication in 12 (11.0%) women. Mesh exposure was diagnosed in 7 (6.4%) women. Seventeen (15.6%) had MUS failure. On univariate regression analysis, a higher HbA1c was associated with increased odds of composite complications (odds ratio, 1.67; 95% confidence interval, 1.20-2.32; P = 0.002) and MUS failure (odds ratio, 1.81, 95% confidence interval, 1.26-2.60; P = 0.001). On multivariate analysis, higher HbA1c levels were associated with a composite of complications and failure (P < 0.05). Based on the receiver operating characteristic curve, HbA1c greater than 8% demonstrated a specificity of 85.7% and a sensitivity of 50% for MUS failure. CONCLUSIONS In diabetic patients, a higher HbA1c was associated with a higher risk of MUS complications and failure. Obtaining an HbA1c within 3 months of surgery may help with risk stratification.

During the last decade, the Ecuadorian government has designed and implemented a set of policies to improve mangrove forests conditions and their ability to provide ecosystem services. The present work aims to identify and explain current policies related to mangrove conservation in the Gulf of Guayaquil, which is a coastal region hosting more than 70% of Ecuador´s mangroves. The main assumption underlying this effort is the notion that mangrove conservation might be critically linked to subjective measures; these measures would better the welfare for populations that live in this ecosystem and depend on it. Based on the evidence of recent studies an institutional economic analysis was conducted; this analysis used the Situation, Structure and Performance framework. Results support the original assumption. Challenges were also identified for the continuity of current policies and new urgent needs for future research.

Funding: J A Loureiro acknowledges support from Base Funding UIDB/00511/2020 of the LEPABE funded by national funds through the FCT/MCTES (PIDDAC) and Scientific Employment Stimulus (FCT) [CEECINST/00049/2018]. Background: In estimating the global burden of cancer, adolescents and young adults with cancer are often overlooked, despite being a distinct subgroup with unique epidemiology, clinical care needs, and societal impact. Comprehensive estimates of the global cancer burden in adolescents and young adults (aged 15–39 years) are lacking. To address this gap, we analysed results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019, with a focus on the outcome of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), to inform global cancer control measures in adolescents and young adults. Methods: Using the GBD 2019 methodology, international mortality data were collected from vital registration systems, verbal autopsies, and population-based cancer registry inputs modelled with mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIRs). Incidence was computed with mortality estimates and corresponding MIRs. Prevalence estimates were calculated using modelled survival and multiplied by disability weights to obtain years lived with disability (YLDs). Years of life lost (YLLs) were calculated as age-specific cancer deaths multiplied by the standard life expectancy at the age of death. The main outcome was DALYs (the sum of YLLs and YLDs). Estimates were presented globally and by Socio-demographic Index (SDI) quintiles (countries ranked and divided into five equal SDI groups), and all estimates were presented with corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). For this analysis, we used the age range of 15–39 years to define adolescents and young adults. Findings: There were 1·19 million (95% UI 1·11–1·28) incident cancer cases and 396 000 (370 000–425 000) deaths due to cancer among people aged 15–39 years worldwide in 2019. The highest age-standardised incidence rates occurred in high SDI (59·6 [54·5–65·7] per 100 000 person-years) and high-middle SDI countries (53·2 [48·8–57·9] per 100 000 person-years), while the highest age-standardised mortality rates were in low-middle SDI (14·2 [12·9–15·6] per 100 000 person-years) and middle SDI (13·6 [12·6–14·8] per 100 000 person-years) countries. In 2019, adolescent and young adult cancers contributed 23·5 million (21·9–25·2) DALYs to the global burden of disease, of which 2·7% (1·9–3·6) came from YLDs and 97·3% (96·4–98·1) from YLLs. Cancer was the fourth leading cause of death and tenth leading cause of DALYs in adolescents and young adults globally. Interpretation: Adolescent and young adult cancers contributed substantially to the overall adolescent and young adult disease burden globally in 2019. These results provide new insights into the distribution and magnitude of the adolescent and young adult cancer burden around the world. With notable differences observed across SDI settings, these estimates can inform global and country-level cancer control efforts.

Background: Human resources for health (HRH) include a range of occupations that aim to promote or improve human health. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the WHO Health Workforce 2030 strategy have drawn attention to the importance of HRH for achieving policy priorities such as universal health coverage (UHC). Although previous research has found substantial global disparities in HRH, the absence of comparable cross-national estimates of existing workforces has hindered efforts to quantify workforce requirements to meet health system goals. We aimed to use comparable and standardised data sources to estimate HRH densities globally, and to examine the relationship between a subset of HRH cadres and UHC effective coverage performance. Methods: Through the International Labour Organization and Global Health Data Exchange databases, we identified 1404 country-years of data from labour force surveys and 69 country-years of census data, with detailed microdata on health-related employment. From the WHO National Health Workforce Accounts, we identified 2950 country-years of data. We mapped data from all occupational coding systems to the International Standard Classification of Occupations 1988 (ISCO-88), allowing for standardised estimation of densities for 16 categories of health workers across the full time series. Using data from 1990 to 2019 for 196 of 204 countries and territories, covering seven Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) super-regions and 21 regions, we applied spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression (ST-GPR) to model HRH densities from 1990 to 2019 for all countries and territories. We used stochastic frontier meta-regression to model the relationship between the UHC effective coverage index and densities for the four categories of health workers enumerated in SDG indicator 3.c.1 pertaining to HRH: physicians, nurses and midwives, dentistry personnel, and pharmaceutical personnel. We identified minimum workforce density thresholds required to meet a specified target of 80 out of 100 on the UHC effective coverage index, and quantified national shortages with respect to those minimum thresholds. Findings: We estimated that, in 2019, the world had 104·0 million (95% uncertainty interval 83·5-128·0) health workers, including 12·8 million (9·7-16·6) physicians, 29·8 million (23·3-37·7) nurses and midwives, 4·6 million (3·6-6·0) dentistry personnel, and 5·2 million (4·0-6·7) pharmaceutical personnel. We calculated a global physician density of 16·7 (12·6-21·6) per 10 000 population, and a nurse and midwife density of 38·6 (30·1-48·8) per 10 000 population. We found the GBD super-regions of sub-Saharan Africa, south Asia, and north Africa and the Middle East had the lowest HRH densities. To reach 80 out of 100 on the UHC effective coverage index, we estimated that, per 10 000 population, at least 20·7 physicians, 70·6 nurses and midwives, 8·2 dentistry personnel, and 9·4 pharmaceutical personnel would be needed. In total, the 2019 national health workforces fell short of these minimum thresholds by 6·4 million physicians, 30·6 million nurses and midwives, 3·3 million dentistry personnel, and 2·9 million pharmaceutical personnel. Interpretation: Considerable expansion of the world's health workforce is needed to achieve high levels of UHC effective coverage. The largest shortages are in low-income settings, highlighting the need for increased financing and coordination to train, employ, and retain human resources in the health sector. Actual HRH shortages might be larger than estimated because minimum thresholds for each cadre of health workers are benchmarked on health systems that most efficiently translate human resources into UHC attainment.
