Off- and Online Heterosexual Dating Violence, Perceived Attachment to Parents and Peers and Suicide Risk in Young Women

Dating violence (DV) is a public health problem among young people, especially women. It involves violent acts towards one’s partner and occurs face-to-face (offline) or through the Internet (online). Offline DV is linked to suicidal ideation and attachment to parents and peers. Fewer studies analyze the psychological and social consequences of online DV. This study tests the link between young women’s DV victimization (off- and online), suicide risk (SR), and parent and peer support in a sample of young Spanish females (N = 1227) (Mage=19, SD = 2.82; range = 13–28). Results confirm that compared to non-victims off- and online DV increase suicidal thoughts and attempts. This effect is stronger for victims of both types of DV (thoughts: OR offline DV = 3.11; CI95% 2.06, 4.69; OR online DV = 2.37; CI95% 1.69, 3.32; OR off-online DV = 4.19 CI95% 2.44, 7.17) (attempts: OR offline DV = 4.02; CI95% 1.83, 8.81; OR online DV = 3.69; CI95% 1.96, 7.01; OR off-online DV = 10.55 CI95% 2.56, 44.43). Mediation and moderation models were used to assess the effect of perceived attachment of parents and friends in DV victims and SR. Mediation analyses indicated that perceived attachment and proximity to parents and peers reduces the impact of DV on SR. Moderation analyses showed that a high level of perceived peer attachment reduces the effect of offline DV on SR. Regarding off-online DV, a high level of perceived parent attachment mitigates suicide risk. Loneliness, lack of care from loved ones, and thwarted belongingness increase suicidal thoughts in DV victims. Peers and parents’ proximity may prevent risk behaviors in DV victims.This research was funded by CONICYT 2017/Doctorado en el Extranjero Becas Chile/2017, grant number 72180394 to Marcela Gracia Leiva, and by Basque government Post–Doctoral Scholarship to Alicia Puente Martínez, POS_2019_2_0014; This study was partially funded by grant 2019/00184/001 awarded by the Junta of Castilla y León (Spain) to the Social Inclusion and Quality of Life (SIQoL) research group and by grant Culture, Cognition and Emotion.

Correlation of the Epworth somnolence scale with the diagnosis andseverity of the obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (osahs)

Introducción: diferentes publicaciones han cuestionado la utilidad de la escala de Epworth de somnolencia y sugieren falta de correlación con la severidad del SAHOS dado por el índice de apnea hipopnea y con desenlaces clínicos. Objetivos: determinar el índice de correlación del puntaje de la escala de Epworth y el índice de apnea hipopnea del sueño. Identificar el punto de corte mediante curva ROC para el puntaje de la escala y el índice de apnea hipopnea (IAH) del polisomnograma. Identificar qué variables de la escala se correlacionan mejor con el diagnóstico de SAHOS. Diseño: estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, estudio de correlación. Determinación de puntos de corte mediante curvas ROC. Materiales y métodos: se usó la base de datos de los pacientes a los que se les realizó polisomnograma basal en la Clínica de Marly desde marzo de 2005 hasta julio de 2009 y en el Hospital Universitario San Ignacio desde marzo de 2005 a febrero de 2013. Previo al procedimiento todos los pacientes fueron entrevistados por un Neumólogo especialista en sueño y se llenó una encuesta estandarizada. Mediante el programa de estadística STATA 12.0 se hallaron los datos demográficos de la población y se estudió la correlación entre IAH y el puntaje de Epworth. Igualmente, se evaluaron diferentes puntos de corte mediante la curva ROC. Se hicieron análisis parciales retirando, en un proceso secuencial, variables de la escala de Epworth para repetir los análisis, y se analizaron los diferentes grados de severidad, por separado en el IAH, para la búsqueda de correlación. Resultados: se analizaron los datos de 3.093 pacientes (46,57% mujeres), con un promedio de edad de 56,52 años. El peso promedio fue de 81,9±17,6 kg con un IMC promedio de 31,91 (± 6,54) kg/m2. El 87,78% tenía IMC mayor o igual a 25. El diagnóstico de SAHOS se realizó en 2.667 pacientes (86,23%), con un IAH de 5 o más. El IAH en promedio fue de 32,76 (± 29,05). El análisis de correlación entre el puntaje de la escala de Epworth y el IAH (Rho de Spearman) es de 0,075 (p=0,0001) lo cual indica que no hay correlación. La curva ROC no permitió elegir ningún punto de corte apropiado para la escala de Epworth en relación con el diagnóstico de SAHOS (área bajo la curva 0,52). Conclusiones: el resultado del estudio muestra que la escala de Epworth no tiene correlación con el IAH medido por polisomnograma. No se encontró algún punto de corte que muestre mejor sensibilidad ni especificidad. La valoración multidisciplinaria y la alta sospecha diagnóstica continúan siendo el mejor método para seleccionar los pacientes que deben ser llevados a estudio polisomnográfico.Artículo original10-15Introduction: several publications have questioned the usefulness of the Epworth somnolence scale and suggest a lack of correlation with the severity of OSAHS given by the apnea-hypopnea index and with clinical outcomes. Objectives: to determine the correlation index of the Epworth scale score and the sleep apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). To identify the cut point through the ROC Curve for the scale’s score and the AHI of the polysomnogram. To identify which variables of the scale correlate better with the diagnosis of OSAHS. Design: descriptive cross-sectional study, correlation study. Determination of cut points by ROC curves. Materials and methods: the database of patients who underwent baseline polysomnograms at the Clínica de Marly over the period from March 2005 to July 2009 and at the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio from March 2005 to February 2013 was used. Before the procedure, each patient was interviewed by a pulmonologist specializing in sleep, and a standardized survey was filled out. The demographic data of the population were established with the STATA 12.0 statistical program, and the correlation between the AHI and the Epworth score was studied. Different cut points were likewise studied by the ROC curve. Partial analyses were done by withdrawing, in a sequential process, variables of the Epworth scale in order to repeat the analyses, and the different degrees of severity were analyzed, separately in the AHI, in search of correlation. Results: the data of 3093 patients (46,57% women) were analyzed. Their mean age was 56,52 years. The mean weight was 81,9±17.6 Kg with a mean BMI of 31,91 (±6,54) kg/m2 . 87,78% of the patients had a BMI ≥ 25. OSAHS was diagnosed in 2667 patients (86,23%), with an AHI of 5 or more. The mean AHI was 32,76 (±29,05). On analysis, the correlation between the Epworth scale score and the AHI (Spearman’s rho) was 0,075 (p=0,0001), which shows there is no correlation. The ROC curve did not allow to choose any adequate cut point for the Epworth scale in regard to the diagnosis of OSAHS (area under the curve 0,52). Conclusions: the result of the study shows us that the Epworth scale has no correlation with the AHI measured by polysomnography. No cut point with better sensitivity or specificity was found. Multidisciplinary evaluation and high diagnostic suspicion continue to be the best method for selecting patients who should undergo polysomnographic stud

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

Este trabajo tiene fin mostrar y exponer a los lectores, experiencias reales de algunas víctimas del conflicto armado y las cuales fueron abordadas desde el enfoque psicosocial, teniendo en cuenta Iniciativas de Memoria Histórica que han sido recreadas a través de herramientas como la foto voz y los enfoques narrativos, con el fin de poder proponer acciones y/o estrategias psicosociales que permitan considerar la particularidad de las poblaciones vulneradas y con ello reconocer sus emergentes psicosociales para implementar un proceso de acompañamiento integral, basado en ese componente de reparación del que tanto hemos hablado y el cual, es apoyado por un grupo de profesionales interdisciplinares que les permite dinamizar estos procesos de dolor para transformarlos en cambios positivos con el ánimo de que puedan reconocer sus derechos, brindándoles una nueva oportunidad de bienestar individual y colectivo para garantizar su calidad de vida. Tanto los enfoques narrativos como la foto voz fomentan la reflexión significativa en los abordajes terapéuticos y psicosociales en los contextos de violencias, pues implementar estas herramientas permite adentrarse un poco más en las comunidades, los hechos de violencia, las oportunidades y las fortalezas que tienen estas para el afrontamiento de diversas situaciones, por otra parte, resalta la manera las capacidades y las habilidades que desarrollan las comunidades para poder asumir estos procesos de afrontamiento y superación.This work aims to show and expose the readers, real experiences of some victims of the armed conflict and which were approached from the psychosocial approach, taking into account Historical Memory Initiatives that have been recreated through tools such as voice photo and narrative approaches, in order to be able to propose actions and/or psychosocial strategies that make it possible to consider the particularity of the vulnerable populations and thereby recognize their emerging psychosocial aspects in order to implement a comprehensive monitoring process, based on that component of reparation that we have talked about so much. and which is supported by a group of interdisciplinary professionals that allows them to invigorate these pain processes to transform them into positive changes with the aim that they can recognize their rights, offering them a new opportunity for individual and collective well-being to guarantee their quality of life. Both the narrative approaches and the voice photo encourage meaningful reflection on therapeutic and psychosocial approaches in contexts of violence, since implementing these tools allows us to delve a little deeper into the communities, the acts of violence, the opportunities and strengths that these have. for coping with various situations, on the other hand, highlights the way the capacities and abilities that communities develop to be able to assume these coping and overcoming processes

Reappraisal of [18F]FDG-PET/CT for diagnosis and management of cardiac implantable electronic device infections

Introduction and objectives: The role of [18F]FDG-PET/CT in cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections requires better evaluation, especially in the diagnosis of systemic infections. We aimed to determine the following: a) the diagnostic accuracy of [18F]FDG-PET/CT in each CIED topographical region, b) the added value of [18F]FDG-PET/CT over transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in diagnosing systemic infections, c) spleen and bone marrow uptake in differentiating isolated local infections from systemic infections, and d) the potential application of [18F]FDG-PET/CT in follow-up. Methods: Retrospective single-center study including 54 cases and 54 controls from 2014 to 2021. The Primary endpoint was the diagnostic yield of [18F]FDG-PET/CT in each topographical CIED region. Secondary analyses described the performance of [18F]FDG-PET/CT compared with that of TEE in systemic infections, bone marrow and spleen uptake in systemic and isolated local infections, and the potential application of [18F]FDG-PET/CT in guiding cessation of chronic antibiotic suppression when completed device removal is not performed. Results: We analyzed 13 (24%) isolated local infections and 41 (76%) systemic infections. Overall, the specificity of [18F]FDG-PET/CT was 100% and sensitivity 85% (79% pocket, 57% subcutaneous lead, 22% endovascular lead, 10% intracardiac lead). When combined with TEE, [18F]FDG-PET/CT increased definite diagnosis o fsystemic infections from 34% to 56% (P=.04). Systemic infections with bacteremia showed higher spleen (P=.05) and bone marrow metabolism (P=.04) than local infections. Thirteen patients without complete device removal underwent a follow-up [18F]FDG-PET/CT, with no relapses after discontinuation of chronic antibiotic suppression in 6 cases with negative follow-up [18F]FDG-PET/CT. Conclusions: The sensitivity of [18F]FDG-PET/CT for evaluating CIED infections was high in local infections but much lower in systemic infections. However, accuracy increased when [18F]FDG-PET/CT was combined with TEE in endovascular lead bacteremic infection. Spleen and bone marrow hypermetabolism could differentiate bacteremic systemic infection from local infection. Although further prospective studies are needed, follow-up [18F]FDG-PET/CT could play a potential role in the management of chronic antibiotic suppression therapy when complete device removal is unachievable

Sociopolitical consequences of COVID-19 in the Americas, Europe, and Asia: A multilevel, multicountry investigation of risk perceptions and support for antidemocratic practices

Although different social crises may eventually favor undemocratic and authoritarian forms of governance, at some point, such antidemocratic practices require the support of a significant part of the population to be implemented. The present research investigates how and whether the COVID-19 pandemic might have favoured greater support for antidemocratic governmental practices, on the premise of regaining control and security. Using data from 17 countries (N = 4364) and national-level indicators (i.e., real number of contagions and deaths, and sociopolitical indicators), we test how the risk of contagion and death from COVID-19, along with personal orientations (i.e., social dominance orientation [SDO], right-wing authoritarianism [RWA], and perceived anomie) motivate authoritarian and antidemocratic practices. Results from multilevel models indicate that risk perception and perceptions of political instability predict a wish for stronger leadership, agreement with martial law, and support for a controlling government especially when SDO and RWA are high, while more egalitarian and less conservative people agree less with these authoritarian measures in spite of the levels of risk perception. We discuss the implications for these findings for future research on similar but also dissimilar external events (natural disasters, war, or terror incidents) and the consequences for societies with higher authoritarian tendencies.Fil: Pizarro, José J..

Bronchoscopist's perception of the quality of the single-use bronchoscope (Ambu aScope4™) in selected bronchoscopies: a multicenter study in 21 Spanish pulmonology services

Background: The disposable bronchoscope is an excellent alternative to face the problem of SARS-CoV-2 and other cross infections, but the bronchoscopist’s perception of its quality has not been evaluated. Methods: To evaluate the quality of the Ambu-aScope4 disposable bronchoscope, we carried out a cross-sectional study in 21 Spanish pulmonology services. We use a standardized questionnaire completed by the bronchoscopists at the end of each bronchoscopy. The variables were described with absolute and relative frequencies, measures of cen‑ tral tendency and dispersion depending on their nature. The existence of learning curves was evaluated by CUSUM analysis. Results: The most frequent indications in 300 included bronchoscopies was bronchial aspiration in 69.3% and the median duration of these was 9.1 min. The route of entry was nasal in 47.2% and oral in 34.1%. The average score for ease of use, image, and aspiration quality was 80/100. All the planned techniques were performed in 94.9% and the bronchoscopist was satisfed in 96.6% of the bronchoscopies. They highlighted the portability and immediacy of the aScope4TM to start the procedure in 99.3%, the possibility of taking and storing images in 99.3%. The CUSUM analysis showed average scores>70/100 from the frst procedure and from the 9th procedure more than 80% of the scores exceeded the 80/100 score

We use a standardized questionnaire completed by the bronchoscopists at the end of each bronchoscopy. The variables were described with absolute and relative frequencies, measures of central tendency and dispersion depending on their nature. The existence of learning curves was evaluated by CUSUM analysis. Results: The most frequent indications in 300 included bronchoscopies was bronchial aspiration in 69.3% and the median duration of these was 9.1 min. The route of entry was nasal in 47.2% and oral in 34.1%. The average score for ease of use, image, and aspiration quality was 80/100. All the planned techniques were performed in 94.9% and the bronchoscopist was satisfied in 96.6% of the bronchoscopies. They highlighted the portability and immediacy of the aScope4TM to start the procedure in 99.3%, the possibility of taking and storing images in 99.3%. The CUSUM analysis showed average scores > 70/100 from the first procedure and from the 9th procedure more than 80% of the scores exceeded the 80/100 score. Conclusions: The aScope4™ scored well for ease of use, imaging, and aspiration. We found a learning curve with excellent scores from the 9th procedure. Bronchoscopists highlighted its portability, immediacy of use and the possibility of taking and storing images
