Acceder a la ciudad: demandas urbanas y habitacionales de un barrio estatal en Tierra del Fuego y su tratamiento en la prensa digital escrita (2016- 2018)

El presente trabajo se enmarca en un proyecto de investigación en el que se indaga acerca de los discursos en torno de la legalidad y la justicia que llevan adelante distintos colectivos sociales en el territorio fueguino. Aquí nos centramos en el caso del colectivo barrial compuesto por vecinos y vecinas del barrio Los Cisnes de la ciudad de Río Grande, en Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur.Entre 2014 y 2018 este colectivo planteó un conjunto de demandas urbanas y habitacionales, algunas de las cuales se instalaron en la agenda de la prensa digital escrita. Nos interesa en este artículo poner en relación un conjunto de testimonios de vecinos y vecinas con aquellos discursos circulantes en la prensa digital escrita, respecto del barrio en general y de las demandas urbanas y habitacionales de este colectivo en particular. Para ello, realizamos entrevistas y construimos un corpus de noticias del período 2016-2018. Destacamos del análisis que, aunque en la prensa digital escrita el tema tiene una participación relativamente importante, solo se destacan algunos tópicos a la vez que se incorpora solo de manera escasa las voces de vecinos y vecinas. Por último, reconocemos que las demandas barriales se apoyaron tanto en criterios de redistribución como de reconocimiento aunque esto, en la prensa online escrita, no figura claramente evidenciado.Fil: Finck, Nadia.

G-spot: Fact or Fiction?: A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The G-spot, a putative erogenous area in the anterior vaginal wall, is a widely accepted concept in the mainstream media, but controversial in medical literature. Aim: Review of the scientific data concerning the existence, location, and size of the G-spot. Methods: Search on Pubmed, Pubmed Central, Cochrane, clinicaltrials.gov and Google Scholar from inception to November 2020 of studies on G-spot's existence, location and nature. Surveys, clinical, physiological, imaging, histological and anatomic studies were included. Main Outcome Measure: Existence, location, and nature of the G-spot. Results: In total, 31 eligible studies were identified: 6 surveys, 5 clinical, 1 neurophysiological, 9 imaging, 8 histological/anatomical, and 2 combined clinical and histological. Most women (62.9%) reported having a G-spot and it was identified in most clinical studies (55.4% of women); in 2 studies it was not identified in any women. Imaging studies had contradictory results in terms of its existence and nature. Some showed a descending of the anterior vaginal wall, that led to the concept of clitourethrovaginal complex. In anatomic studies, one author could systematically identify the G-spot, while another group did not find it. Studies on innervation of the vaginal walls did not systematically identify an area with richer innervation. Conclusion: The different studies did systematically agree on the existence of the G-spot. Among the studies in which it was considered to exist, there was no agreement on its location, size, or nature. The existence of this structure remains unproved.Vieira-Baptista P, Lima-Silva J, Preti M, et al. G-spot: Fact or Fiction?: A Systematic Review. Sex Med 2021;9:100435

Dipartimenti di Prevenzione durante la pandemia tra le criticità strutturali e l’emergenza

I dipartimenti di prevenzione, entità scarsamente integrate finora nelle aziende sanitarie locali di cui fanno parte, sono state coinvolte in prima linea durante le diverse ondate della pandemia. L'obiettivo del contributo è comprendere se e come questa esperienza abbia contribuito a mutare nel breve e nel lungo termine il posizionamento di questi dipartimenti nelle aziende sanitarie lovali

The effect of laser pan-retinal photocoagulation with or without intravitreal bevacizumab injections on the OCT-measured macular choroidal thickness of eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of laser pan-retinal photocoagulation with or without intravitreal bevacizumab injections on macular choroidal thickness parameters in eyes with high-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS: High-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients undergoing laser treatment were prospectively enrolled in this study. One eye was randomly selected for laser treatment combined with bevacizumab injections, study group, whereas the corresponding eye was subjected to laser treatment alone, control group. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging was used to measure the macular choroidal thickness prior to and 1 month after treatment. Measurements in both groups were compared. Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01389505. RESULTS: Nineteen patients (38 eyes) with a mean±standard deviation age of 53.4±9.3 years were evaluated, and choroidal thickness measurements for 15 patients were used for comparison. The greatest measurement before treatment was the subfoveal choroidal thickness (341.68±67.66 μm and 345.79±83.66 μm for the study and control groups, respectively). No significant difference between groups was found in terms of macular choroidal thickness measurements at baseline or after treatment. However, within-group comparisons revealed a significant increase in choroidal thickness parameters in 10 measurements in the study group and in only 5 temporal measurements in the control group when 1-month follow-up measurements were compared to baseline values. CONCLUSIONS: The macular choroidal thickness does not appear to be significantly influenced by laser treatment alone but increases significantly when associated with bevacizumab injections in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and macular edema. Because bevacizumab injections reduce short-term laser pan-retinal photocoagulation-induced macular edema, our findings suggest that the choroid participates in its pathogenesis
