    Introducción: existe una alta prevalencia de problemas de salud mental en el gremio médico y especialmente en los residentes de especialidades médico-quirúrgicas, asociado a múltiples factores de riesgo los cuales, se han exacerbado por los factores de estrés relacionados con la pandemia por COVID-19. Sin embargo, en Colombia no hay estudios recientes que muestren información al respecto. Propósito: caracterizar los problemas de salud mental (síntomas depresivos, ansiosos, ideación suicida, síndrome de burnout y consumo problemático de alcohol y sustancias psicoactivas) en residentes de especialidades médico-quirúrgicas en Colombia asociadas a la pandemia por SARS CoV 2 (COVID-19). Materiales y Métodos: se realizó un estudio de tipo corte transversal. Utilizando el programa “Microsoft Forms” se diseñó un auto cuestionario virtual, el cual se envió en el periodo comprendido entre octubre del 2020 a febrero del 2021. La población estuvo constituida por médicos que estuvieran cursando cualquier año de residencia en territorio nacional. Se indago acerca de las características sociodemográficas, el cómo han vivenciado la pandemia y se aplicaron las escalas auto aplicadas: PHQ-9, GAD-7, escala de ideación suicida de Roberts, CAGE, DAST-10 y Burnout screening inventory (BSI). Resultados: 95 personas respondieron el cuestionario. Del total, 56 (58,9%) fueron mujeres, con una edad media de 29 años.

Objectives: to characterize the mental health problems (depressive and anxious symptoms, suicidal ideation, burnout syndrome and problematic use of alcohol and psychoactive substances of physicians in residency programs in Colombia, in association with the SARS CoV 2 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Likewise, a trend to higher levels of mental health problems was observed when the physicians was exposed to or a person close to COVID-19.2022-02-05 16:35:01: Script de automatizacion de embargos.

    Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat

    A global metagenomic map of urban microbiomes and antimicrobial resistance

    We present a global atlas of 4,728 metagenomic samples from mass-transit systems in 60 cities over 3 years, representing the first systematic, worldwide catalog of the urban microbial ecosystem. This atlas provides an annotated, geospatial profile of microbial strains, functional characteristics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) markers, and genetic elements, including 10,928 viruses, 1,302 bacteria, 2 archaea, and 838,532 CRISPR arrays not found in reference databases. We identified 4,246 known species of urban microorganisms and a consistent set of 31 species found in 97% of samples that were distinct from human commensal organisms. Profiles of AMR genes varied widely in type and density across cities. Cities showed distinct microbial taxonomic signatures that were driven by climate and geographic differences. These results constitute a high-resolution global metagenomic atlas that enables discovery of organisms and genes, highlights potential public health and forensic applications, and provides a culture-independent view of AMR burden in cities.Funding: the Tri-I Program in Computational Biology and Medicine (CBM) funded by NIH grant 1T32GM083937; GitHub; Philip Blood and the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), supported by NSF grant number ACI-1548562 and NSF award number ACI-1445606; NASA (NNX14AH50G, NNX17AB26G), the NIH (R01AI151059, R25EB020393, R21AI129851, R35GM138152, U01DA053941); STARR Foundation (I13- 0052); LLS (MCL7001-18, LLS 9238-16, LLS-MCL7001-18); the NSF (1840275); the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (OPP1151054); the Alfred P.

    Development of the CMS detector for the CERN LHC Run 3

    No full text
    International audienceSince the initial data taking of the CERN LHC, the CMS experiment has undergone substantial upgrades and improvements. This paper discusses the CMS detector as it is configured for the third data-taking period of the CERN LHC, Run 3, which started in 2022. The entire silicon pixel tracking detector was replaced. A new powering system for the superconducting solenoid was installed. The electronics of the hadron calorimeter was upgraded. All the muon electronic systems were upgraded, and new muon detector stations were added, including a gas electron multiplier detector. The precision proton spectrometer was upgraded. The dedicated luminosity detectors and the beam loss monitor were refurbished. Substantial improvements to the trigger, data acquisition, software, and computing systems were also implemented, including a new hybrid CPU/GPU farm for the high-level trigger
