4to. Congreso Internacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación para la Sociedad. Memoria académica
Este volumen acoge la memoria académica de la Cuarta edición del Congreso Internacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación para la Sociedad, CITIS 2017, desarrollado entre el 29 de noviembre y el 1 de diciembre de 2017 y organizado por la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana (UPS) en su sede de Guayaquil.
El Congreso ofreció un espacio para la presentación, difusión e intercambio de importantes investigaciones nacionales e internacionales ante la comunidad universitaria que se dio cita en el encuentro. El uso de herramientas tecnológicas para la gestión de los trabajos de investigación como la plataforma Open Conference Systems y la web de presentación del Congreso http://citis.blog.ups.edu.ec/, hicieron de CITIS 2017 un verdadero referente entre los congresos que se desarrollaron en el país.
La preocupación de nuestra Universidad, de presentar espacios que ayuden a generar nuevos y mejores cambios en la dimensión humana y social de nuestro entorno, hace que se persiga en cada edición del evento la presentación de trabajos con calidad creciente en cuanto a su producción científica.
Quienes estuvimos al frente de la organización, dejamos plasmado en estas memorias académicas el intenso y prolífico trabajo de los días de realización del Congreso Internacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación para la Sociedad al alcance de todos y todas
La renovación de la palabra en el bicentenario de la Argentina : los colores de la mirada lingüística
El libro reúne trabajos en los que se exponen resultados de investigaciones presentadas por investigadores de Argentina, Chile, Brasil, España, Italia y Alemania en el XII Congreso de la Sociedad Argentina de Lingüística (SAL), Bicentenario: la renovación de la palabra, realizado en Mendoza, Argentina, entre el 6 y el 9 de abril de 2010. Las temáticas abordadas en los 167 capítulos muestran las grandes líneas de investigación que se desarrollan fundamentalmente en nuestro país, pero también en los otros países mencionados arriba, y señalan además las áreas que recién se inician, con poca tradición en nuestro país y que deberían fomentarse. Los trabajos aquí publicados se enmarcan dentro de las siguientes disciplinas y/o campos de investigación: Fonología, Sintaxis, Semántica y Pragmática, Lingüística Cognitiva, Análisis del Discurso, Psicolingüística, Adquisición de la Lengua, Sociolingüística y Dialectología, Didáctica de la lengua, Lingüística Aplicada, Lingüística Computacional, Historia de la Lengua y la Lingüística, Lenguas Aborígenes, Filosofía del Lenguaje, Lexicología y Terminología
Insights into venous thromboembolism prevention in hospitalized cancer patients: Lessons from a prospective study
Hospitalized cancer patients are at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Despite
current recommendations in clinical guidelines, thromboprophylaxis with low molecular
weight heparin (LMWH) is underused. We performed an observational prospective study to
analyse factors influencing prophylaxis use, VTE events and mortality in cancer-hospitalized
patients. 1072 consecutive adult cancer patients were included in an University Hospital
from April 2014 to February 2017, and followed-up for 30 days after discharge. The rate of
LMWH prophylaxis was 67.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 64.7% to 70.4%), with a 2.8%
rate of VTE events (95% CI 1.9% to 3.9%) and 3.5% rate of major bleeding events (95% CI
2.5% to 4.8%). 80% of VTE events occurred despite appropriate thromboprophylaxis. Overall, 30-day mortality rate was 13.2% (95% CI 11.2% to 15.3%). Active chemotherapy treatment, hospital stay 4 days, and metastatic disease were associated with a higher use of
LMWH. On the contrary, patients with hematologic malignancies, anemia or thrombocytopenia were less prone to receive thromboprophylaxis. The main reasons for not prescribing
LMWH prophylaxis were thrombocytopenia (23.9%) and active/recent bleeding (21.8%).
The PRETEMED score, used for VTE risk stratification, correlated with 30-day mortality.
There is room for improvement in thromboprophylaxis use among hospitalized-cancer
patients, especially among those with hematologic malignancies. A relevant number of VTE
events occurred despite prophylaxis with LMWH. Therefore, identification of risk factors for
thromboprophylaxis failure is needed
Juego compulsivo en estudiantes de secundaria de cinco ciudades peruanas: Uso y adicción al juego Pokemon GO
Introduction: Some years ago, the Pokémon GO game became incredibly popular. However, no studies on the subject have been conducted in Peru
involving vulnerable populations, such as adolescents.
Objective: To determine if the number of hours playing the Pokémon GO game is associated with Internet and/or video game addiction, as well as to
other factors in secondary school students from five Peruvian cities.
Materials and methods: Cross-sectional, analytical, and multi-centric study, with a sample of 944 school students. General characteristics, including
socio-educational aspects, and Internet and/or video game addiction were analyzed, as well as variables related to the use of the game, such as
problems at home, with teachers, accidents, and theft.
Results: We found statistical associations between the assessed variables and increased playing time. 409 (44%) students had an Internet addiction,
215 (23%) were addicted to video games, and 336 (49%) spent a significant number of hours per day playing Pokémon GO. A greater number of hours
playing Pokémon GO was associated with having a video game addiction (prevalence ratio (PR): 1,33; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07-1.65), greater
use of cell phone applications (PR: 1.02; 95% CI: 1.01-1.03), reprimand by parents (PR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.02-1.18), and reprimand for arriving late to class
(PR: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.07-1.18). On the other hand, students who played a greater number of video games used Pokémon GO by a lower number of hours
(PR: 0,98; 95% CI: 0.97-0.99), adjusted by the respondent ́s location.
Conclusion: Higher usage levels of Pokémon GO were associated with having a video game addiction, greater use of phone applications, negative
repercussions from parents, and reprimand for arriving late to class
Venetoclax ramp-up strategies for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia in the United Kingdom: a real world multicentre retrospective study
This retrospective, observational study evaluated patterns of inpatient versus outpatient tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) monitoring during venetoclax ramp-up in 170 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. The primary outcome was clinical/biochemical TLS. Two clinical and four biochemical TLS occurred (4.1%). Five of the six events occurred in high-risk patients, four occurred at 20 mg dose and three at the 6-h time-point. Inpatient versus outpatient TLS rates within the high-risk subgroup were 15% and 8%. Risk category was the only predictor of TLS events in multivariate analysis. Outpatient escalation did not associate with clinically meaningful TLS events, suggesting outpatient escalation has manageable associated TLS risks, including in high-risk cohorts. These observations require confirmation in larger studies
