A path to the psychological repair of children with suicidal ideations

RESUMEN: Este artículo aborda el tema del suicidio infantil como una problemática contemporánea; tiene por objetivo plantear estrategias de prevención del comportamiento suicida infantil, vía a la reparación psicológica. Metodológicamente se construyó desde una revisión teórica de fuentes clásicas y antecedentes investigativos actuales, lo cual permitió hacer un análisis de aspectos psicológicos y psicosociales que dan lugar a una comprensión del suicidio infantil. Como resultados se encontró que esta problemática compleja y de actualidad, requiere herramientas que faciliten a los infantes, alternativas de solución, distintas a la muerte, basadas en experiencias vinculares que les ofrezca soporte emocional. Se destacan dos conclusiones, la primera enfatiza en la importancia de unas figuras de apego reparadoras para un adecuado desarrollo infantil, y la segunda, para fortalecer los recursos intrapsíquicos de los niños, cuando presentan ideaciones suicidas, es pertinente promover el trabajo psicológico individual, hacia la construcción de mecanismos de afrontamiento que les permita, como niños, asumir estrategias ante situaciones difíciles de la vida.ABSTRACT: This article addresses the issue of child suicide as a contemporary problem, aims to raise strategies for prevention of child suicidal behavior, through psychological repair. Methodologically it was built from a theoretical review of classical sources and current research backgrounds, which allowed an analysis of psychological and psychosocial aspects that lead to an understanding of child suicide. As results, it was found that this complex and current issue requires tools that provide infants with alternative solutions, other than death, based on bonding experiences that provide emotional support. Two conclusions stand out, the first emphasizes the importance of repairing attachment figures for an adequate child development, and the second, to strengthen the intrapsychic resources of children when they present suicidal ideas, it is pertinent to promote individual psychological work towards the construction of coping mechanisms that allow them, as children, to assume strategies in difficult situations in life

The role of accelerators for the development of startups and entrepreneurship in Brazil

Introduction: Startup accelerators play a fundamental role in the entrepreneurship ecosystem, allowing different ways to develop new products and services through innovation. This research analyzes the startups presented on the startupbase.com website, mapping their influence in the Brazilian scenario. Method: It analyses 13.297 startups based on exploratory, descriptive research with qualitative data analysis. Results:  nine startups are unicorns with investments of more than nine billion in five years in the Brazilian economy (2015-2020). Conclusions: It was noticed that through innovation, products and services were streamlined, with the mechanization of processes being the first step used by new emerging companies, but not all mechanization processes lead to the creation of technology so that this occurs it is necessary to use the right tools and the availability of strategic information for appropriate changes.Introdução: As aceleradoras de startups têm um papel fundamental no ecossistema de empreendedorismo, permitindo formas diferentes de desenvolver novos produtos e serviços, por meio da inovação.

Photography-based taxonomy is inadequate, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for biological sciences

The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; Nemésio 2009a–b; Dubois 2009; Gentile & Snell 2009; Minelli 2009; Cianferoni & Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016). This question was again raised in a letter supported by 35 signatories published in the journal Nature (Pape et al. 2016) on 15 September 2016. On 25 September 2016, the following rebuttal (strictly limited to 300 words as per the editorial rules of Nature) was submitted to Nature, which on 18 October 2016 refused to publish it. As we think this problem is a very important one for zoological taxonomy, this text is published here exactly as submitted to Nature, followed by the list of the 493 taxonomists and collection-based researchers who signed it in the short time span from 20 September to 6 October 2016

Transition to adulthood and transfer to adult care of adolescents with congenital heart disease : a global consensus statement of the ESC Association of Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions (ACNAP), the ESC Working Group on Adult Congenital Heart Disease (WG ACHD), the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology (AEPC), the Pan-African Society of Cardiology (PASCAR), the Asia-Pacific Pediatric Cardiac Society (APPCS), the Inter-American Society of Cardiology (IASC), the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ), the International Society for Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ISACHD), the World Heart Federation (WHF), the European Congenital Heart Disease Organisation (ECHDO), and the Global Alliance for Rheumatic and Congenital Hearts (Global ARCH)

The vast majority of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) in high-income countries survive into adulthood. Further, paediatric cardiac services have expanded in middle-income countries. Both evolutions have resulted in an increasing number of CHD survivors. Expert care across the life span is necessitated. In adolescence, patients transition from being a dependent child to an independent adult. They are also advised to transfer from paediatrics to adult care. There is no universal consensus regarding how transitional care should be provided and how the transfer should be organized. This is even more challenging in countries with low resources. This consensus document describes issues and practices of transition and transfer of adolescents with CHD, accounting for different possibilities in high-, middle-, and low-income countries. Transitional care ought to be provided to all adolescents with CHD, taking into consideration the available resources. When reaching adulthood, patients ought to be transferred to adult care facilities/providers capable of managing their needs, and systems have to be in place to make sure that continuity of high-quality care is ensured after leaving paediatric cardiology

Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination in Non-Infected Cardiometabolic Patients from the Americas during the COVID-19 Pandemic. A Sub-Analysis of the CorCOVID-LATAM Study

Background: Influenza vaccination (IV) and Pneumococcus vaccination (PV) are recommended for patients with cardiometabolic diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the immunization rate of ambulatory cardiometabolic patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Americas. Methods: Electronic surveys were collected from 13 Spanish speaking countries between 15 June and 15 July 2020. Results: 4216 patients were analyzed. Mean age 60 (±15) years and 49% females. Global IV rate was 46.5% and PV 24.6%. Vaccinated patients were older (IV = 63 vs. 58 years; PV = 68 vs. 59, p < 0.01) but without gender difference. Vaccination rates were greater in higher-risk groups (65+, diabetics, heart failure), but not in coronary artery disease patients. In the Southern cone, the rate of IV and PV was approximately double that in the tropical regions of the Americas. In a multivariate model, geographic zone (IV = OR 2.02, PV = OR 2.42, p < 0.001), age (IV = OR 1.023, PV = OR 1.035, p < 0.001), and incomes (IV = OR 1.28, PV = OR 1.58, p < 0.001) were predictors for vaccination. Conclusions: During the COVID-19 pandemic, ambulatory patients with cardiometabolic diseases from the Americas with no evidence of COVID-19 infection had lower-than-expected rates of IV and PV. Geographic, social, and cultural differences were found, and they should be explored in depth

Rationale, design and methodology of APPROACH-IS II : International study of patient-reported outcomes and frailty phenotyping in adults with congenital heart disease

Background: In recent years, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) have received increasing prominence in cardiovascular research and clinical care. An understanding of the variability and global experience of PROs in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD), however, is still lacking. Moreover, information on epidemiological characteristics and the frailty phenotype of older adults with CHD is minimal. The APPROACH-IS II study was established to address these knowledge gaps. This paper presents the design and methodology of APPROACH-IS II. Methods/design: APPROACH-IS II is a cross-sectional global multicentric study that includes Part 1 (assessing PROs) and Part 2 (investigating the frailty phenotype of older adults). With 53 participating centers, located in 32 countries across six continents, the aim is to enroll 8000 patients with CHD. In Part 1, self-report surveys are used to collect data on PROs (e.g., quality of life, perceived health, depressive symptoms, autonomy support), and explanatory variables (e.g., social support, stigma, illness identity, empowerment). In Part 2, the cognitive functioning and frailty phenotype of older adults are measured using validated assessments. Discussion: APPROACH-IS II will generate a rich dataset representing the international experience of individuals in adult CHD care. The results of this project will provide a global view of PROs and the frailty phenotype of adults with CHD and will thereby address important knowledge gaps. Undoubtedly, the project will contribute to the overarching aim of improving optimal living and care provision for adults with CHD
