Caracterización por microscopía electrónica de barrido de mascarillas de protección respiratoria utilizadas por la población costarricense en la época de la pandemia COVID-19.

Dada la pandemia COVID-19 y la obligatoriedad en el uso de mascarillas de protección respiratoria, se presentó una oportunidad de negocio para industrias y emprendedores en la confección y venta de las mismas.  Con base en esto, se supone que han existido en el mercado, mascarillas que no son confeccionadas en las condiciones óptimas de calidad y según las normas; ofreciendo una falsa protección respiratoria a los ciudadanos, lo cual pone en riesgo a la población, favoreciendo la propagación del virus SARS-CoV-2. Adicional a lo anterior un etiquetado erróneo referente a la cantidad de capas, tamaños de poro y la protección luego de ciclos de lavado en el caso de las mascarillas reutilizables. La generación de evidencia científica, es de suma importancia para corroborar los aspectos anteriormente mencionados, dado el impacto que tiene sobre la salud pública, por lo que se ha utilizado la microscopía electrónica de barrido, como herramienta de análisis, para realizar una caracterización de las capas, tamaños de poro y morfología y dar soporte a la hipótesis planteada, demostrando el incumplimiento en algunos casos, de los requisitos mínimos para ofrecer una protección real ante la propagación del agente viral y brinda un antecedente para tomar en consideración en futuros casos necesarios de la obligatoriedad del uso de mascarillas con el fin de proteger a la población ante otro brote de COVID-19 o algún otro virus que requiera este tipo de protección

Development of an Implementation Intervention Using Intervention Mapping to Increase Mammography Among Low Income Women

Background: Although much work has begun to elucidate contextual factors influencing implementation, the specific processes that facilitate and hinder adoption, implementation, and maintenance of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) in clinical settings remains poorly understood. Intervention Mapping (IM) is a systematic process that facilitates planning and design for dissemination, implementation and maintenance of EBIs in practice. IM has been used to guide the design of many health interventions, focusing on program implementation. Less studied is its use to adapt and scale screening interventions within the healthcare clinic setting. This paper describes the development of an implementation intervention using IM to facilitate the adoption, implementation, and maintenance of an EBI designed to increase mammography adherence in healthcare clinics, the adapted Peace of Mind Program (PMP).Methods: IM framework, Step 5, was used to guide the implementation intervention planning. IM guided identification of specific adoption, implementation, and maintenance performance objectives. We formed an implementation intervention planning group consisting of members of the academic team, our community partner and community health workers (CHWs) with substantial experience working on mammography screening programs in federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and charity clinics.Results: Results are presented by Intervention Mapping task for Step 5 (Program Implementation Plan). We describe how the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR) informed the selection of performance objectives, determinants, methods, and practical applications in the final implementation intervention.Conclusions: This paper provides an example of the use of Intervention Mapping Step 5 and CFIR to create an implementation intervention to support EBI scale up of an evidence-based mammography intervention within a specific setting.Clinical trials registration number: NCT0229617

Photothermal effect by NIR-responsive excretable ultrasmall-in-nano architectures

Here, we report: (i) the straightforward production of narrow-NIR-absorbing gold ultrasmall-in-nano architectures (tNAs), and (ii) their suitability as excretable platforms for photothermal therapy upon CW-irradiation at 808 nm. These findings are a significant step toward the translation of metal nanotheranostics to cancer treatments

Search for Resonant Diboson Production in the ℓℓQq¯ Final State in Pp Collisions at S√=8 TeV With the ATLAS Detector

This paper reports on a search for narrow resonances in diboson production in the ℓℓqq¯ final state using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20 fb−1 collected at s√=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess of data events over the Standard Model expectation is observed. Upper limits at the 95% confidence level are set on the production cross section times branching ratio for Kaluza--Klein gravitons predicted by the Randall--Sundrum model and for Extended Gauge Model W' bosons. These results lead to the exclusion of mass values below 740 GeV and 1590 GeV for the graviton and W' boson respectively.Physic

Using Complex, Multi-Sectoral Data in a Needs Assessment to Inform Future Strategies in Childhood Asthma Management

The purpose of this needs assessment was to study the current state of asthma management in high-risk children in Houston, Texas to inform a theory-based approach to improving asthma management. The mixed-method assessment included multi-sectoral survey, quantitative, and geospatial data that address a range of social and community factors in family, community, home, and medical contexts. Houston Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provided ambulance-treated asthma data mapped by geographic area to identify where childhood asthma management was weakest. Texas Children’s Health Plan (TCHP) provided medication compliance rates and counts of children by zip code that TCHP considered high-risk according to claims data. Houston Independent School District (HISD) provided school nurse survey results from schools with high-rates of ambulance-treated asthma attacks regarding local barriers to asthma management. Elementary schools with children at highest risk were identified by overlaying the EMS data, TCHP data, and HISD school zone boundaries. Survey results from the high-rate schools indicate the priority challenges to childhood asthma management, including lack of resources, lack of communication, lack of knowledge of triggers, and inadequate time for quality care from providers. By weaving together EMS, TCHP, and HISD data, the needs assessment informed a socio-ecological view of gaps in high-risk childhood asthma management and control, specifically where and what to target. An assessment approach with multi-sectoral data, geospatial mapping, nurse input, current systems of care, education, and funding helped focus planning on a practical approach to asthma control solutions for high-risk children

Consideration of Shared Decision Making in Nursing: A Review of Clinicians’ Perceptions and Interventions

As the number of individuals with chronic illness increases so has the need for strategies to enable nurses to engage them effectively in daily management of their conditions. Shared decision making between patients and nurses is one approach frequently discussed in the literature. This paper reviews recent studies of shared decision making and the meaning of findings for the nurse-patient relationship. Patients likely to prefer to engage in shared decision making are younger and have higher levels of education. However, there is a lack of evidence for the effect of shared decision making on patient outcomes. Further, studies are needed to examine shared decision making when the patient is a child. Nurses are professionally suited to engage their patients fully in treatment plans. More evidence for how shared decision making affects outcomes and how nurses can successfully achieve such engagement is needed
