Introduction: Arterial hypertension (AHT) is one of the most prevalent chronic non-transmittable diseases and the main cause of cardiovascular death worldwide (World Health Organization, 2021). Adequate control of blood pressure levels is the best therapeutic measure to manage and prevent hypertension-related complications. In the Dominican Republic, there is insufficient and unreliable data related to pharmacological control through ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM). Methods: Cross-sectional and retrospective study, in which the results of 380 patients, who underwent an ABPM, were analyzed to determine if their blood pressure levels were within therapeutic control. The study was conducted between March 2022 and May 2022. The diagnostic criteria to determine blood pressure control were used from the guidelines of the Specialized Diagnostic Center (CEDISA), and included being older than 18 and having a study duration longer than 18 hours. Likewise, we excluded pregnant patients, patients diagnosed with heart failure, or patients taking triple antihypertensive therapy. For the data summary, we used mean and standard deviation. For statistical testing, we performed a Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and a two-tailed Student's t-test was used to assess the mean difference for which a value of p<0.05 was chosen to demonstrate significance. We performed a Bonferroni correction to adjust the significance value using the mean blood pressure in the repeated measures for the t-test, which reduced the significance from 0.05 to 0.016. Results: The point prevalence of adequate pharmacological control was 44.2% (95% CI 39.21% to 49.19%). The mean systolic blood pressure of controlled patients was 117.8 (±7.5), while that of un-controlled patients was 140.8 (±14.5). Between controlled and uncontrolled patients, the drugs most frequently used for managing hypertension were angiotensin II, receptor antagonists. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean 24-hour and daytime systolic blood pressure between males and females (p. 0.0016 and p. 0.0007, respectively) and 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime systolic blood pressure between controlled and uncontrolled patients (p. 0.000, p. 0.000, p 0.000, respectively) Discussion: The prevalence of adequate pharmacological control in patients suffering from arterial hypertension encompasses 168 patients of the 380 studied, so it is evident that the remaining 212 patients, even when diagnosed, have not managed to obtain controlled blood pressure levels. The study was limited by not being able to investigate the treatment specifications and other risk factors. Regardless of these issues, the study obtained the desired sample size; therefore, it can establish the study’s reported AHT control prevalence as a direct measure of hypertensive patients in the Dominican Republic not being adequately controlled.
引言:动脉高压(AHT)是最常见的慢性非传染性疾病之一,也是全球心血管死亡的主要原因(世界卫生组织,2021)。充分控制血压水平是管理和预防高血压相关并发症的最佳治疗措施。在多米尼加共和国,通过动态血压测量进行药物控制的数据不足且不可靠。方法:横断面和回顾性研究,分析380名接受ABPM的患者的结果,以确定他们的血压水平是否在治疗控制范围内。该研究于2022年3月至2022年5月期间进行。根据专业诊断中心(CEDISA)的指南,确定血压控制的诊断标准包括年龄超过18岁和研究持续时间超过18小时。同样,我们排除了孕妇、被诊断为心力衰竭的患者或接受三重降压治疗的患者。对于数据汇总,我们使用了平均值和标准差。对于统计检验,我们进行了Shapiro-Wilk正态性检验,并使用双尾Student t检验来评估平均差异,选择p<0.05的值来证明其显著性。我们使用t检验重复测量中的平均血压进行了Bonferroni校正,以调整显著性值,将显著性从0.05降低到0.016。结果:适当药物控制的点患病率为44.2%(95%CI 39.21%至49.19%)。对照组患者的平均收缩压为117.8(±7.5),而非对照组患者为140.8(±14.5)。在对照组和非对照组之间,最常用于治疗高血压的药物是血管紧张素II受体拮抗剂。男性和女性的平均24小时和日间收缩压之间存在统计学显著差异(分别为0.0016和0.0007),以及对照组和非对照组患者之间的夜间收缩压(分别为0.000、0.000和0.000)讨论:在380名研究患者中,充分药物控制的患病率包括168名患者,因此很明显,其余212名患者,即使在诊断时,没有设法获得受控的血压水平。由于无法调查治疗规范和其他风险因素,该研究受到限制。不管这些问题如何,该研究都获得了所需的样本量;因此,它可以将该研究报告的AHT控制率确定为多米尼加共和国高血压患者未得到充分控制的直接指标。

Introduction: Aquatic exercises may benefit children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). Nevertheless, there are few studies about the efficacy and safety of those interventions for this population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of the effects of aquatic interventions in children and adolescents with CP, considering outcomes related to the body structure, function, activity, and participation; based on the World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework (ICF). Methods: We searched for experimental or quasi-experimental studies about aquatic exercises’ effects on children and adolescents with CP. We used the databases PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scielo, LILACS, SPORTDiscus, Cochrane Reviews, Trials, and PEDro, from January 1st, 2011, to December 31st, 2020. In addition, the risk of bias was assessed with the PEDro tool. Results: 10 randomized clinical trials and five quasi-experimental studies were included. The focus was on aerobic activities in children with spastic CP, mainly classified as levels I to III in the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), outcomes related to structure and function, and activity. Thirteen studies reported positive effects, but the methodological quality was low. Discussion: Aquatic exercise programs are feasible and demonstrate a positive effect on this population. There is a need for studies of better methodological quality, including children classified as GMFCS V and outcomes based on the domain of participation.
水上运动可能有益于患有脑瘫的儿童和青少年。然而,关于这些干预措施对这一人群的有效性和安全性的研究很少。因此,本研究的目的是对水生干预对CP儿童和青少年的影响进行系统回顾,考虑与身体结构、功能、活动和参与相关的结果;根据世界卫生组织国际功能、残疾和健康分类框架(ICF)。方法:检索关于水上运动对儿童和青少年CP影响的实验或准实验研究。检索数据库为PubMed/MEDLINE、CINAHL、Scielo、LILACS、SPORTDiscus、Cochrane Reviews、Trials和PEDro,检索时间为2011年1月1日至2020年12月31日。此外,使用PEDro工具评估偏倚风险。结果:纳入10项随机临床试验和5项准实验研究。研究的重点是痉挛性CP患儿的有氧运动,在大运动功能分类系统(GMFCS)中主要分为I至III级,与结构、功能和活动相关的结果。13项研究报告了积极效果,但方法质量较低。讨论:水上运动项目是可行的,并且对这一人群有积极的影响。有必要进行方法学质量更高的研究,包括将儿童分类为GMFCS V和基于参与领域的结果。

Lack of Clinical Research and Evidence Based Medicine during COVID-19 pandemic in Peru 秘鲁COVID-19大流行期间缺乏临床研究和循证医学

Dear editor, One of the biggest advances facing the COVID-19 pandemic was the development and application of vaccines around the world. Different studies worldwide have found and concluded that the best way to prevent complications and reduce the incidence rates of this disease, is by implementing preventive measures through the application of vaccines. (Thompson et al., 2021). In Perú, the mortality and hospitaliztion rates have decreased since the vaccine application, but the main public health problem emerges when ministers, leaders and medical profesionals that are selected without implementing the proper criteria, do not consider the vaccination as an important way for preventing the disease and prefer the use of medicine that does not have enough evidence. The application and the objective of reaching the minimum coverage of vaccinated population depends on the Ministry of Health and on the intensive work of the health personnel at sites of application, even at places that would be otherwise not used for this purpose. Unfortunately, as previously mentioned, some of these professionals used and prescribed drugs without evidence to treat COVID-19, such as ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and many others for all patients and without clinical criteria. The investment and expenses that public Peruvian economy used for COVID19 treatment, left without supply of medicines for diseases that should be used as the first line of treatment as hydroxychloroquine for malaria or ivermectin for strongyloidiasis and many other examples. By this, the individual decisions of treating a disease without the correct evidence, generates that people who require this medication are left without availability and increase the symptoms and complications of other disease that are present. Instead, a better strategy that should be done was the implementation of oxygen plants, due is demonstrated that early application of oxygen in appropriate cases is critical improving mortality rate and is necessary for many other respiratory diseases. (COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel., 2022) Why is this important? Because of the number of people that died because of COVID-19, not only due to a complication of the disease itself, but also due to Academic Editor: Felipe Fregni Peer-reviewers: Nicole Sanchez, Leandra Ramin, Niels Pacheco.
COVID-19大流行面临的最大进展之一是全球疫苗的开发和应用。世界各地的不同研究发现并得出结论,预防并发症和减少这种疾病发病率的最佳办法是通过使用疫苗实施预防措施。(Thompson等人,2021)。在Perú,自接种疫苗以来,死亡率和住院率有所下降,但主要的公共卫生问题是,在没有执行适当标准的情况下选出的部长、领导人和医疗专业人员不认为接种疫苗是预防疾病的重要途径,而倾向于使用没有足够证据的药物。疫苗接种的实施和达到疫苗接种人口最低覆盖率的目标取决于卫生部和卫生人员在实施地点的密集工作,甚至是在原本不会用于这一目的的地方。不幸的是,如前所述,其中一些专业人员在没有证据的情况下使用和开出治疗COVID-19的药物,如伊维菌素、羟氯喹、阿奇霉素和许多其他药物,对所有患者都没有临床标准。秘鲁公共经济用于治疗covid - 19的投资和费用,导致本应作为一线治疗手段的疾病(如治疗疟疾的羟氯喹或治疗圆线虫病的伊维菌素)的药物供应不足,以及许多其他例子。因此,在没有正确证据的情况下治疗疾病的个人决定会导致需要这种药物的人无法获得这种药物,并增加现有其他疾病的症状和并发症。相反,应该采取的一项更好的战略是实施制氧厂,因为事实证明,在适当情况下早期应用氧气对提高死亡率至关重要,对许多其他呼吸系统疾病也是必要的。(COVID-19治疗指南小组。(2022)为什么这很重要?因为死于COVID-19的人数,不仅是因为疾病本身的并发症,还因为学术编辑:费利佩·弗雷尼同行评审:妮可·桑切斯、莱安德拉·拉明、尼尔斯·帕切科。

Background/Aims: Creatine supplementation has demonstrated cognitive benefits in neurodegenerative conditions, having a protective effect in the brain's function in stressful situations, with excellent safety (Watanabe et al., 2002). However, any beneficial effects on the cognitive performance of healthy adolescents underperforming in school is unknown. Our objective is to assess whether creatine supplementation improves cognitive performance in 15- to 17-year-old students with an average school grade below the 50th percentile. Methods: This will be a phase-II, triple-blinded, randomized, parallel-group, superiority, single-center trial. Students with grades below the 50th percentile in the prior semester will be enrolled and randomized to receive juice packages containing either creatine monohydrate supplementation (0.1 mg/kg/day), or placebo, for 12 weeks. The primary outcome will be the mean difference in change of Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM) scores from baseline to week 12 between groups. To achieve a 90% power for detecting a 3-point difference in change in the RSPM score, and accounting for drop-out, 116 participants will be included. Secondary outcomes will include the difference in processing speed (SpaceCode), working memory (SpaceMatrix), non-visual memory (backward digit span), percentage change in lean mass, and any safety events. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this will be the most comprehensive study assessing creatine supple-mentation in adolescents. This is a low-risk intervention that has been shown to improve cognitive function in other populations. This study will potentially support the widespread use of creatine supplementation in adolescents with low school performance, while having a positive impact on this population.
背景/目的:补充肌酸已证明在神经退行性疾病中具有认知益处,在压力情况下对大脑功能具有保护作用,安全性极佳(Watanabe等人,2002)。然而,对在学校表现不佳的健康青少年的认知表现有任何有益影响尚不清楚。我们的目标是评估补充肌酸是否能改善平均学校成绩低于第50百分位的15至17岁学生的认知表现。方法:这将是一项II期、三盲、随机、平行组、优势、单中心的试验。上学期成绩低于第50百分位的学生将被招募并随机接受含有肌酸一水合物补充剂(0.1 mg/kg/天)或安慰剂的果汁包,为期12周。主要结果是各组之间从基线到第12周Raven标准渐进矩阵(RSPM)得分变化的平均差异。为了达到90%的能力来检测RSPM得分变化中的三分差,并考虑退出,将包括116名参与者。次要结果将包括处理速度(SpaceCode)、工作记忆(SpaceMatrix)、非视觉记忆(向后数字跨度)、瘦体重百分比变化和任何安全事件的差异。结论:据我们所知,这将是评估青少年肌酸营养状况的最全面的研究。这是一种低风险干预措施,已被证明可以改善其他人群的认知功能。这项研究将有可能支持在学业成绩低的青少年中广泛使用肌酸补充剂,同时对这一人群产生积极影响。
