Pandemic upon Pandemic: Middle-Aged and Older Men Who Have Sex with Men Living with HIV Coping and Thriving during the Peak of COVID-19

When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in early 2020, not only did it abruptly impede the progress that was being made toward achieving global targets to end the HIV pandemic, but it also created significant impacts on the physical and mental health of middle-aged and older men who have sex with men living with HIV. Utilizing a qualitative, community-based participatory research approach, we conducted semi-structured, one-on-one interviews with 16 ethnoracially diverse, middle-aged and older men who have sex with men living with HIV residing in Southern Nevada, to examine the different ways the COVID-19 pandemic directly impacted their physical and mental health, and explore how they eventually coped and thrived during the peak of the crisis. Using thematic analysis to analyze our interview data, we identified three prominent themes: (1) challenges to obtaining credible health information, (2) the physical and mental health impacts of the COVID-19-pandemic-imposed social isolation, and (3) digital technologies and online connections for medical and social purposes. In this article, we extensively discuss these themes, the current discourse on these themes in academic literature, and how the perspectives, input, and lived experiences of our participants during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic could be critical to addressing issues they had already been experiencing prior to the emergence of the pandemic in 2020, and just as importantly, helping us best prepare in stark anticipation of the next potentially devastating pandemic

La imagen y la narrativa como herramientas para el abordaje psicosocial en escenarios de violencia. Departamentos de Boyacá y Cundinamarca

A lo largo de la historia de Colombia, la violencia ha integrado una representación relevante en el país, así, este documento adopta un enfoque narrativo que considera referencias teóricas discutidas en tres secciones distintas; la primera sección reflexiona sobre el caso de Luz, cuya historia fue contada por la Comisión de la Verdad, este enfoque psicosocial profundiza en el impacto de los medios violentos y los efectos de gran alcance que tienen sobre los afligidos, desde esta perspectiva, para poder conocer la realidad de Luz, se plantea diferentes interrogantes desde la construcción de preguntas circulares, reflexivas y estratégicas; ante el reconocimiento de diferentes hechos históricos como la Masacre de El Salado, por medio de la cual, conocemos una realidad de la que se tuvo que enfrentar varias personas, se reconoce la importancia de establecer o generar herramientas de intervención para el acompañamiento de las personas víctimas, que les permitan reconstruir o resignificar su realidad como proceso de resiliencia y fortalecimiento de su calidad de vida. Dentro de este proceso de aprendizaje se conocieron estrategias como la de foto-voz, roles del psicólogo en la narrativa, contar y recontar la historia, donde esta metodología nos permite brindarles a las personas, herramientas para los procesos de mejora de su calidad de vida y salud mental, estas herramientas son necesarias para la labor del psicólogo en el reconocimiento de las realidades de las personas.Throughout the history of Colombia, violence has integrated a relevant representation in the country, thus, this document adopts a narrative approach that considers theoretical references discussed in three different sections; the first section reflects on the case of Luz, whose history was told by the Truth Commission, this psychosocial approach delves into the impact of violent media and the far-reaching effects they have on the afflicted, from this perspective, to be able to know the reality of Luz, different questions arise from the construction of circular, reflective and strategic questions; before the Recognition of different historical events such as the El Salado Massacre, through which we know a reality that several people had to face, it is recognized the importance of establishing or generating intervention tools for the accompaniment of victims, which allow them to rebuild or resignify their reality as a process of resilience and strengthening their quality of life. Within this learning process, strategies such as photo-voice, roles of the psychologist in the narrative, telling and telling the story were known, where this methodology allows us to provide people with tools for the processes of improving their quality of life and mental health, these tools are necessary for the work of the psychologist in the recognition of people's realities

Epidemiological and clinical features of Kawasaki disease in Spain over 5 years and risk factors for aneurysm development. (2011-2016): KAWA-RACE study group

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute self-limited systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology affecting mainly children less than 5 years of age. Risk factors for cardiac involvement and resistance to treatment are insufficiently studied in non-Japanese children. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology, clinical features and risk factors for resistance to treatment and coronary artery lesions (CAL) in KD in Spain. Methods: Retrospective study (May 2011-June 2016) of all patients less than 16 years of age diagnosed with KD included in KAWA-RACE network (84 Spanish hospitals). Results: A total of 625 cases were analyzed, 63% were males, 79% under 5 year-olds and 16.8% younger than 12 months. On echocardiographic examination CAL were the most frequent findings (23%) being ectasia the most common (12%). Coronary aneurysms were diagnosed in 9.6%, reaching 20% in infants under 12 months (p 900,000 cells/mm3, maximum temperature 10 days and fever before treatment ≥ 8 days as independent risk factors for developing coronary aneurysms. Conclusions: In our population, children under 12 months develop coronary aneurysms more frequently and children with KD with anemia and leukocytosis have high risk of cardiac involvement. Adding steroids early should be considered in those patients, especially if the treatment is not started before 8 days of fever. A score applicable to non-Japanese children able to predict the risk of aneurysm development and IVIG resistance is necessary

In vivo antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles produced via a green chemistry synthesis using Acacia rigidula as a reducing and capping agent

Introduction: One of the main issues in the medical field and clinical practice is the development of novel and effective treatments against infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. One avenue that has been approached to develop effective antimicrobials is the use of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), since they have been found to exhibit an efficient and wide spectrum of antimicrobial properties. Among the main drawbacks of using Ag-NPs are their potential cytotoxicity against eukaryotic cells and the latent environmental toxicity of their synthesis methods. Therefore, diverse green synthesis methods, which involve the use of environmentally friendly plant extracts as reductive and capping agents, have become attractive to synthesize Ag-NPs that exhibit antimicrobial effects against resistant bacteria at concentrations below toxicity thresholds for eukaryotic cells. Purpose: In this study, we report a green one-pot synthesis method that uses Acacia rigidula extract as a reducing and capping agent, to produce Ag-NPs with applications as therapeutic agents to treat infections in vivo. Materials and methods: The Ag-NPs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM, selected area electron diffraction, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible, and Fourier transform infrared. Results: We show that Ag-NPs are spherical with a narrow size distribution. The Ag-NPs show antimicrobial activities in vitro against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and a clinical multidrug-resistant strain of P. aeruginosa) and Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis) bacteria. Moreover, antimicrobial effects of the Ag-NPs, against a resistant P. aeruginosa clinical strain, were tested in a murine skin infection model. The results demonstrate that the Ag-NPs reported in this work are capable of eradicating pathogenic resistant bacteria in an infection in vivo. In addition, skin, liver, and kidney damage profiles were monitored in the murine infection model, and the results demonstrate that Ag-NPs can be used safely as therapeutic agents in animal models. Conclusion: Together, these results suggest the potential use of Ag-NPs, synthesized by green chemistry methods, as therapeutic agents against infections caused by resistant and nonresistant strains.
