Intervención educativa en adultos mayores sobre conocimiento del autocuidado en covid-19, población Pampa Libre – Chancay, año 2022

Objetivo el determinar el efecto de una intervención educativa en adultos mayores sobre el conocimiento del autocuidado en covid- 19, población Pampa Libre – Chancay 2022. La Metodología es prospectivo, es longitudinal y cuantitativo. El proyecto se desarrolla a un nivel descriptivo, con diseño cuasi-experimental, con una perspectiva positivista, con una comunidad de 37 adultos mayores y la técnica para poder procesar la información se ejecutó en el programa de cálculo de Excel y para la comprobación de las hipótesis correspondientes se operacionalizó por medio de la prueba T-Student. Los Resultados fue que se pudo comprobar el efecto significativo relacionado a la intervención educativa en adultos mayores sobre conocimiento del autocuidado en covid-19, población Pampa Libre – Chancay, año 2022. Frente a esto somos capaces de afirmar que los adultos mayores encuestados en un inicio presentaron un 86 % de nivel conocimiento a nivel medio y también un 14% en el nivel de conocimiento de nivel alto; luego de haberse realizado la participación educativa se pudo evidenciar un ligero aumento donde el 32% presentaron conocimiento nivel medio y 68% presentó un conocimiento nivel alto. Las Conclusiones Son que, en primer lugar, se tuvo un gran avance en la instrucción a los adultos teniendo al principio con respecto a conocimiento alto 5 personas (14%) y luego a 25 personas (68%); luego en lo que respecta a conocimiento medio al principio eran 32 personas (86%) y luego disminuye a 12 personas (32%) siendo algo positivo ya que aumentaron en sus resultados educativos. Todos estos resultados nos dan a entender que el esfuerzo del profesional de enfermería es ya que al reforzar los conocimientos que manejan los pobladores con los que manejamos nosotros se obtendrá resultados positivos y así se ayuda a disminuir las incidencias de las problemáticas de salud que afectan a los pobladore

New readout and data-acquisition system in an electron-tracking Compton camera for MeV gamma-ray astronomy (SMILE-II)

For MeV gamma-ray astronomy, we have developed an electron-tracking Compton camera (ETCC) as a MeV gamma-ray telescope capable of rejecting the radiation background and attaining the high sensitivity of near 1 mCrab in space. Our ETCC comprises a gaseous time-projection chamber (TPC) with a micro pattern gas detector for tracking recoil electrons and a position-sensitive scintillation camera for detecting scattered gamma rays. After the success of a first balloon experiment in 2006 with a small ETCC (using a 10$\times$10$\times$15 cm$^3$ TPC) for measuring diffuse cosmic and atmospheric sub-MeV gamma rays (Sub-MeV gamma-ray Imaging Loaded-on-balloon Experiment I; SMILE-I), a (30 cm)$^{3}$ medium-sized ETCC was developed to measure MeV gamma-ray spectra from celestial sources, such as the Crab Nebula, with single-day balloon flights (SMILE-II). To achieve this goal, a 100-times-larger detection area compared with that of SMILE-I is required without changing the weight or power consumption of the detector system. In addition, the event rate is also expected to dramatically increase during observation. Here, we describe both the concept and the performance of the new data-acquisition system with this (30 cm)$^{3}$ ETCC to manage 100 times more data while satisfying the severe restrictions regarding the weight and power consumption imposed by a balloon-borne observation. In particular, to improve the detection efficiency of the fine tracks in the TPC from $\sim$10\% to $\sim$100\%, we introduce a new data-handling algorithm in the TPC. Therefore, for efficient management of such large amounts of data, we developed a data-acquisition system with parallel data flow.Comment: 11 pages, 24 figure

A case of locally advanced adenosquamous carcinoma of the cecum with long-term survival

A 63-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a right lower abdominal mass and general fatigue. Preoperative examination suggested a large ovarian tumor or cecal carcinoma. However, her intraoperative diagnosis was colon cancer; we therefore performed an ileocecal resection with oophorectomy. The tumor was pathologically diagnosed as adenosquamous carcinoma T4bN1M-stage IIIa. We administrated CapeOX adjuvant chemotherapy for 6 months. Adenosquamous carcinoma is extremely rare, at around 0.1% of all colorectal cancers, and usually has a poor prognosis. The patient is still alive without recurrence after 84 post-operative months, even with later developments of metachronous early colorectal cancer and breast cancer. We herein report a rare case of cecal ASC with good prognosis

Analysis of gut microbiome, host genetics, and plasma metabolites reveals gut microbiome-host interactions in the Japanese population

Interaction between the gut microbiome and host plays a key role in human health. Here, we perform a metagenome shotgun-sequencing-based analysis of Japanese participants to reveal associations between the gut microbiome, host genetics, and plasma metabolome. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) for microbial species (n = 524) identifies associations between the PDE1C gene locus and Bacteroides intestinalis and between TGIF2 and TGIF2-RAB5IF gene loci and Bacteroides acidifiaciens. In a microbial gene ortholog GWAS, agaE and agaS, which are related to the metabolism of carbohydrates forming the blood group A antigen, are associated with blood group A in a manner depending on the secretor status determined by the East Asian-specific FUT2 variant. A microbiome-metabolome association analysis (n = 261) identifies associations between bile acids and microbial features such as bile acid metabolism gene orthologs including bai and 7β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Our publicly available data will be a useful resource for understanding gut microbiome-host interactions in an underrepresented population.Tomofuji Yoshihiko, Kishikawa Toshihiro, Sonehara Kyuto, et al.

Upgrading of shielding for rare decay search in CANDLES

In the CANDLES experiment aiming to search for the very rare neutrino-less double beta decays (0νββ) using 48Ca, we introduced a new shielding system for high energy γ-rays from neutron captures in massive materials near the detector, in addition to the background reduction for 232Th decays in the 0νββ target of CaF2 crystals. The method of background reduction and the performance of newly installed shielding system are described
