Relación entre gestión de innovación y satisfacción de usuarios de servicios de recreación caso Confa
El Objetivo de la presente investigación es analizar la relación existente entre la Gestión de la Innovación y la Satisfacción de los Usuarios de los servicios de recreación Confa. Metodología: Se utiliza el modelo de medición CIDEM para la variable independiente y el modelo Kano para la variable dependiente, partiendo del marco teórico “Manual de Oslo tercera edición”. El tipo de investigación es descriptivo y relacional, se optó por dar un enfoque cuantitativo, con dos técnicas de recolección de información, una para cada variable: encuesta de satisfacción al usuario medida por escala de Likert y entrevista estructurada de categorías ordinales. La relación entre variables se analizó bajo el modelo predictor “Redes Neuronales”. El tratamiento de la información fue esencialmente de carácter estadístico. Resultados: De acuerdo a los modelos de redes neuronales desarrollados, la satisfacción de los usuarios frente a la infraestructura es el principal predictor de la gestión de la innovación de los servicios analizados de Confa. También es el principal predictor de todos los componentes analizados, salvo la gestión del conocimiento, pues este último factor también obtuvo alta puntuación. Conclusiones: La innovación de servicios cabe dentro de la clasificación Innovación Incremental (Oslo, 2005), sin embargo esta investigación afirma que esta es fácilmente percibida por los usuarios cuando la innovación se refleja en infraestructura física.The Objective this investigation is Analyze the relationship between Innovation Management and User Satisfaction of Confa Recreation Services. Methodology: The CIDEM measurement model is used for the independent variable and the Kano model for the dependent variable, based on the framework Theoretical "Oslo Manual third edition". The type of research is descriptive and relational, it was decided to give a quantitative approach, with two techniques of information collection, one for each variable: survey of user satisfaction measured by Likert scale and structured interview of ordinal categories. The relationship between variables was analyzed under the predictive model "Neural Networks". The treatment of the information was essentially of a statistical nature. Results: According to the models of developed neural networks, the satisfaction of the users with regard to the infrastructure is the main predictor of the management of the innovation of the analyzed services of Confa. It is also the main predictor of all the components analyzed, except for knowledge management, as this last factor also obtained high scores. Conclusions: The innovation of services fits within the classification Incremental Innovation (Oslo, 2005), however this research states that this is easily perceived by users when innovation is reflected in physical infrastructure
Neurological manifestation of Brazilian spotted fever in childhood
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is a rickettsial disease caused by the bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii. In Brazil, the disease is known as Brazilian spotted fever (BSF), being the most significant tick-borne disease in the country. Among the affected patients, only 5% of cases occur in children aged one to nine years. Typical symptoms of the disease are fever, rash, headache and digestive symptoms. Neurological manifestations such as seizures, aphasia and hemiparesis have been described in few patients. This study aimed to describe the case of an infant diagnosed with BSF who presented severe signs of neurological manifestation

Alcoolismo em pacientes submetidos a cirurgia bariátrica: uma revisão sistemática: Alcoholism in patients undergoing bariatric surgery: a systematic review
A Cirurgia bariátrica tem sido uma opção de muitas pessoas que visam superar a obesidade e garantir qualidade de vida e saúde. No entanto, casos de complicações clínicas após operação tem ocorrido, sendo comum a incidência de alcoolismo. Este estudo teve como objetivo refletir sobre as causas da incidência de alcoolismo entre pacientes que foram submetidos a cirurgias bariátricas. Para o alcance dessa finalidade, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática de literatura, selecionando-se fontes das bases de dados Scielo Brasil, PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), publicados em língua portuguesa, nos anos de 2017 a 2022. Realizando-se a análise dos dados concluiu-se que o transtorno do uso de álcool em pessoas submetidas à cirurgia bariátrica tem sido recorrente, especialmente entre homens de baixa renda e que fizeram a cirurgia do tipo bypass gástrico. Observou-se também que o consumo de álcool é maior no pós-operatório e que boa parte dos pacientes que se submeteu a esse tipo de cirurgia ignorava o risco de desenvolver o referido transtorno. Em função disso, boa parte dos estudos que integraram esta revisão reconhece a necessidade do acompanhamento, pela equipe de saúde, dos pacientes logo após a cirurgia bariátrica e a adesão desses ao tratamento devido, visando prevenir o transtorno do uso de álcool
A inclusão escolar para pacientes com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo: School inclusion for patients with intellectual disability or cognitive delay
A educação inclusiva é fundamental para que crianças e adolescentes vivenciem ideias e experiências de ensino aprendizagem significativa, desenvolvam a autonomia e conquistem direitos de cidadania. No entanto, existem obstáculos que precisam ser compreendidos e superados e estratégias que podem ser adotadas para promover a inclusão de crianças com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo. Diante disso, este estudo tem como objetivo compreender o processo de inclusão escolar de alunos com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo. Para isso, trata-se de uma revisão sistemática de literatura, desenvolvida a partir da seleção de estudos nas bases de dados Scielo, Pubmed e BVS/Medline a partir do uso de descritores DeCS/MeSH e aplicação de critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Após a análise e interpretação dos dados, concluiu-se que, no processo de inclusão de alunos com deficiência intelectual ou atraso cognitivo no ambiente escolar, a educação inclusiva interfere positivamente na qualidade de vida desses. Para isso, destacam-se uma série de estratégias relevantes, tais como: envolvimento de escola como um todo, dos professores e da família; compreender a deficiência; valorizar os interesses e habilidades dos alunos com deficiência; estimular a autodeterminação desses e a convivência entre pessoas deficientes e não deficientes; promover a socialização por meio de jogos; utilizar atividades adaptadas; e cuidar da formação inicial e continuada dos professores, contemplando ideias sobre educação inclusiva
Geography and ecology shape the phylogenetic composition of Amazonian tree communities
Aim: Amazonia hosts more tree species from numerous evolutionary lineages, both young and ancient, than any other biogeographic region. Previous studies have shown that tree lineages colonized multiple edaphic environments and dispersed widely across Amazonia, leading to a hypothesis, which we test, that lineages should not be strongly associated with either geographic regions or edaphic forest types.
Location: Amazonia.
Taxon: Angiosperms (Magnoliids; Monocots; Eudicots).
Methods: Data for the abundance of 5082 tree species in 1989 plots were combined with a mega-phylogeny. We applied evolutionary ordination to assess how phylogenetic composition varies across Amazonia. We used variation partitioning and Moran\u27s eigenvector maps (MEM) to test and quantify the separate and joint contributions of spatial and environmental variables to explain the phylogenetic composition of plots. We tested the indicator value of lineages for geographic regions and edaphic forest types and mapped associations onto the phylogeny.
Results: In the terra firme and várzea forest types, the phylogenetic composition varies by geographic region, but the igapó and white-sand forest types retain a unique evolutionary signature regardless of region. Overall, we find that soil chemistry, climate and topography explain 24% of the variation in phylogenetic composition, with 79% of that variation being spatially structured (R = 19% overall for combined spatial/environmental effects). The phylogenetic composition also shows substantial spatial patterns not related to the environmental variables we quantified (R = 28%). A greater number of lineages were significant indicators of geographic regions than forest types.
Main Conclusion: Numerous tree lineages, including some ancient ones (>66 Ma), show strong associations with geographic regions and edaphic forest types of Amazonia. This shows that specialization in specific edaphic environments has played a long-standing role in the evolutionary assembly of Amazonian forests. Furthermore, many lineages, even those that have dispersed across Amazonia, dominate within a specific region, likely because of phylogenetically conserved niches for environmental conditions that are prevalent within regions

Effectiveness of Fosfomycin for the Treatment of Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Bacteremic Urinary Tract Infections
IMPORTANCE The consumption of broad-spectrum drugs has increased as a consequence of the spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli. Finding alternatives for these infections is critical, for which some neglected drugs may be an option. OBJECTIVE To determine whether fosfomycin is noninferior to ceftriaxone or meropenem in the targeted treatment of bacteremic urinary tract infections (bUTIs) due to MDR E coli. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This multicenter, randomized, pragmatic, open clinical trial was conducted at 22 Spanish hospitals from June 2014 to December 2018. Eligible participants were adult patients with bacteremic urinary tract infections due to MDR E coli; 161 of 1578 screened patients were randomized and followed up for 60 days. Data were analyzed in May 2021. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomized 1 to 1 to receive intravenous fosfomycin disodium at 4 g every 6 hours (70 participants) or a comparator (ceftriaxone or meropenem if resistant; 73 participants) with the option to switch to oral fosfomycin trometamol for the fosfomycin group or an active oral drug or pa renteral ertapenem for the comparator group after 4 days. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was clinical and microbiological cure (CMC) 5 to 7 days after finalization of treatment; a noninferiority margin of 7% was considered. RESULTS Among 143 patients in the modified intention-to-treat population (median [IQR] age, 72 [62-81] years; 73 [51.0%] women), 48 of 70 patients (68.6%) treated with fosfomycin and 57 of 73 patients (78.1%) treated with comparators reached CMC (risk difference, -9.4 percentage points; 1-sided 95% CI, -21.5 to infinity percentage points; P = .10). While clinical or microbiological failure occurred among 10 patients (14.3%) treated with fosfomycin and 14 patients (19.7%) treated with comparators (risk difference, -5.4 percentage points; 1-sided 95% CI. -infinity to 4.9; percentage points; P = .19), an increased rate of adverse event-related discontinuations occurred with fosfomycin vs comparators (6 discontinuations [8.5%] vs 0 discontinuations; P = .006). In an exploratory analysis among a subset of 38 patients who underwent rectal colonization studies, patients treated with fosfomycin acquired a new ceftriaxone-resistant or meropenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria at a decreased rate compared with patients treated with comparators (0 of 21 patients vs 4 of 17 patients [23.5%]; 1-sided P = .01). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study found that fosfomycin did not demonstrate noninferiority to comparators as targeted treatment of bUTI from MDR E coli; this was due to an increased rate of adverse event-related discontinuations. This finding suggests that fosfomycin may be considered for selected patients with these infections
