Marcadores hematológicos y bioquímicos asociados con la severidad del dengue en pacientes atendidos en el hospital Liborio Panchana de Santa Elena 2023.
Get PDFThe Dengue represents a serious public health concern in the province of Santa Elena,
Ecuador. Where the early detection of severs cases become crucial to reduce the mortality
rate. The objective of this research was to analyze hematological and biochemical markers
to determine their association with severity of dengue in patients treated at Liborio
Panchana Hospital in 2023. A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was conducted with
a sample of 181 patients. It was found that 60% of the diagnosed cases were under 22
years old, and there was an almost equal distribution between males (50.3%) and females
(49.7%). It was observed that 70.7% of the patients did not show warning signs, while
29.3% did present these signs, and deviations from normal ranges were identified in
several hematological and biochemical markers. The statistical analyses conducted
revealed significant associations (p < 0.001) between platelet levels, LDH, CRP, AST,
ALT, and albumin, and the severity of dengue. It was concluded that hematological and
biochemical markers are important in the clinical evaluation of dengue, highlighting their
usefulness in the early identification of severe dengue complications.El dengue representa una seria preocupación para la salud pública en la provincia de Santa

marcadores hematológicos y bioquímicos para determinar su asociación con la gravedad
del Dengue en pacientes atendidos en el Hospital Liborio Panchana en el año 2023. Se
llevó a cabo un análisis retrospectivo transversal con una muestra de 181 pacientes. Se
encontró que el 60% de los casos diagnosticados eran menores de 22 años, y hubo una
distribución casi equitativa entre género masculino (50.3%) y femenino (49.7%). Se
observó que el 70.7% de los pacientes no mostraban signos de alarma, mientras que el
29.3% sí presentaban estos signos, y se identificaron desviaciones de los rangos normales
en varios marcadores hematológicos y bioquímicos. Los análisis estadísticos realizados
revelaron asociaciones significativas (p < 0.001) entre los niveles de plaquetas, LDH,
PCR, TGO, TGP y albúmina, y la gravedad del dengue. Se concluyó sobre la importancia
de los marcadores hematológicos y bioquímicos en la evaluación clínica del dengue,
resaltando su utilidad en la identificación temprana de complicaciones graves en el

Paciente femenino de 44 años de edad con anemia hemolítica
Get PDFThe syndrome of hemolytic anemia is a group of pathologies that encompasses a series of signs and symptoms that have as a common manifestation the hemolysis of the red blood cell, which consists of the destruction and / or removal of the red blood cells from the circulation before it is fulfill your average life, that is, 120 days. This entity is of great importance because of its broad spectrum of presentation, which ranges from an asymptomatic picture, an insidious and larvae manifestation, or it can manifest itself as a sudden fulminating picture.
In this article we review the main aspects in general of this disease and we propose an algorithm for its diagnostic approachEl síndrome de anemia hemolítica es un grupo de patologías que engloba una serie de signos y síntomas que tienen como manifestación común la hemólisis del glóbulo rojo, la cual consiste en la destrucción y/o remoción de los glóbulos rojos de la circulación antes de que se cumpla su vida media, es decir 120 días. Esta entidad es de gran importancia por su amplio espectro de presentación, que va desde un cuadro asintomático, una manifestación insidiosa y larvada o puede manifestarse como un cuadro agudo fulminante.
En este artículo se revisan los aspectos principales en general de esta enfermedad y se propone un algoritmo para su abordaje diagnóstic
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
