Donating blood and its blood components is a tool for health institutions, but sometimes it becomes complex due to the lack of donors, within which several factors have been identified that are mainly related to the fear of people because of the myths created around this procedure. The objective of this research is to analyze the sociocultural factors related to blood and platelet donation in an Ecuadorian Oncology Hospital. The research methodology was observational, cross-sectional cohort, descriptive, prospective, with a quantitative approach. We worked with 200 users who attended the health institution in question, who met the selection criteria, to whom a collection instrument was applied. It was found that the majority of participants had a high level of knowledge about blood donation and a positive attitude towards it. However, although willingness toward future donations was high, the frequency of current donation did not show significant differences according to specific time intervals. 82.50% of the participants would be willing to donate blood as a volunteer. Participants showed significant concern about fear of blood collection and poor health status as main barriers to donation. The myths identified in donation were concerns about the spread of diseases and the obligation to continue donating once one has previously donated. Continuous education and training is suggested for both users and health professionals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

COVID-19 is identified as one of the most recently discovered viruses, showing considerable variability in various dimensions, including transmission mechanisms, clinical presentation, therapeutic measures, and evolutionary behavior, among others. Therefore, the occurrence of persistent symptoms or the found sequelae in patients after discharge is of special interest, given that most studies indicate that both physical and mental manifestations may persist over time. In this regard, a study was conducted with the general objective of analyzing the post-pandemic effects of COVID-19 on the health of workers at the Technical University of Manabí from 2020 to 2022. It was a non-experimental, descriptive, prospective, transversal research with a quantitative approach, using a survey as the technique and a data collection questionnaire as the instrument, which were processed and analyzed through statistical graphics. The results indicate that the majority of the worker population were men aged 36 to 45 with family incomes between 400 and 800, experiencing a variety of physical and psychological sequelae. The most frequent sequelae included respiratory, neurological, and psychological symptoms, as well as impacts on the quality of life. Factors such as smoking and obesity were also present in significant proportions. There was an association between arterial hypertension, overweight, and nasal congestion with asthenia and anosmia, respectively. This study emphasizes the need for comprehensive and ongoing health interventions for workers recovering from COVID-19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Medical residencies are an alternative that Latin American physicians can adopt after finishing pre-graduate studies. Many of them migrate from their countries due to the current socio-economic crisis and lack of job opportunities. Migration occurs to countries with different eligibility criteria, medical specialties available, remuneration, and retirement plans. Most of the countries searched for in this paper have implemented knowledge tests to allow the practice of medicine and provide economic compensation for residents. Selection criteria vary from national exams to matching systems and interviews. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Mini screws are devices used to optimize anchorage in orthodontics, and are fixed in the bone structure. Case of report: We present the case of a patient who came to the oral and maxillofacial surgery office due to the accidental introduction of a mini orthodontic screw into the maxillary sinus; a tomographic evaluation was requested, determining the thickening of the Schneider membrane and the presence of the foreign body inside it. The Caldwell-Luc surgical technique was performed and the mini screw was located and removed. Subsequent complications were pain on touch and paresthesia; a laser therapy with photobiomodulation was performed, and both pain and paresthesia were resolved. Conclusion: One year after surgery, the patient was asymptomatic and without paresthesia, the control tomography verified absence of Schneider's membrane thickening and permeable anatomical repairs of the left maxillary sinus.

This academic article aims to address restorative justice, from the application of the regulations of the Ecuadorian State in cases of violence in the couple. In recent years, the study of restorative justice has focused on identifying needs and opportunities for improvement. In the investigation called "Masculinities and Gender Violence: Condemning sentences carried out for violations of violence in the couple, in the Violence Unit against Women and Members of the Family Nucleus of the Cuenca Canton" results were obtained by collecting information in the Unit Violence Court. For this reason, an analysis is carried out on the sentencing indicators, specifically on the sanctions for violations of violence in the couple, such as custodial sentences and community work. These have been studied from the restorative justice approach, analyzing the comprehensive reparation and mediation as main postulates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Over the last two decades, more and more higher education institutions around the world have taken significant strides to educate their students in what some call global citizenship, others call 21st-century citizenship, and others, critical democratic citizenship, according to the approach taken. In this text, this concept can be understood as a way of positioning oneself consciously and autonomously in an increasingly complex world to exert a positive transformational influence on it. There have been as many different paths to develop global citizenship skills as there are ways to measure them. This text presents some preliminary results from a first teaching-learning experience at Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico City campus, in 2018. It investigates the use of The Socratic Dialogues in cross-cultural environments as a tool to develop the three basic Global Citizenship skills: Critical thinking, empathy, and solidarity.

In the Colombian tropic, it is necessary to establish feeding strategies that increase productivity and reduce costs. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of totumo, mango, and wild guava silage on in vitro digestibility, degradability, and productive parameters in dual-purpose cows. This study was carried out on a farm located in the municipality of Puerto Boyacá. Thirty-two Gyr x Holstein cows (Body weight = 460 ± 35 kg) in early lactation were enrolled and distributed in four groups of eight individuals: T1: control group: no silage; T2: Wild guava silage; T3: Totumo silage and T4: Mango silage. All the cows remained in a rotational grazing system with Brachiaria decumbens, water, and a salt-based mineral supplement ad libitum. There were no differences (p>0,05) in the daily milk production. However, protein levels in milk were higher (p<0,05) in the T2 and T4 treatments. NUL was more elevated in T2 and lower in T4. Silage consumption was higher (p<0,05) in T4, and the body condition score was higher for T2 and T4. For the degradability and digestibility parameters in vitro, treatments T2, T3, and T4 obtained the highest values. Fruits silage supplementation on dual-purpose cows with silage fruits can increase milk protein levels and body condition score. Those silages have a high rate of degradation and in vitro digestibility, representing a feeding alternative for ruminants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to determine the factors that influence purchase decision by millennials from the city of Medellin (Colombia) through virtual media, based on the theory of planned behavior. The methodology is exploratory-descriptive with a quantitative focus of correlational scope. Three-hundred-and-fifty selfadministered surveys are gathered. The levels of association between the dimensions of the proposed model were quantified using Somers' D statistic. The results reveal the explanatory capacity of the model and show the factors (attitude and perceived control) that best explain millenials' willingness to use e-commerce. It is concluded that purchase decision and conduct occurs when the user experience is satisfactory and when the service received and experienced corresponds to the expectations generated around the service.
