RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a correlação entre a religiosidade e o uso de álcool em adolescentes com fissura orofacial. Métodos: Estudo transversal, desenvolvido em um hospital público e terciário brasileiro entre dezembro de 2021 e março de 2022. A coleta de dados foi híbrida, e foram utilizados três instrumentos: Questionário Sociodemográfico, Escala de Religiosidade de Durel e o Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Para a análise estatística foram empregados os testes: qui-quadrado, exato de Fisher, Mann-Whitney e o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, além das análises de forças de correlação linear e de regressão logística bivariada. O nível de significância adotado para todos os testes foi de 5% (p≤0,05). Resultados: Participaram 370 adolescentes, com média de idade de 15,2 anos (±1,8). Entre eles, 23 (5,4%) usavam o álcool de forma arriscada ou prejudicial. A religiosidade organizacional, não organizacional e a intrínseca foram significativamente menos frequentes entre adolescentes que utilizavam o álcool de forma arriscada ou prejudicial (p=0,005; p<0,001 e p=0,002, respectivamente). Evidenciou-se correlação moderada entre o uso arriscado ou prejudicial do álcool e a religiosidade não organizacional (r=0,31; p=0,002) e a intrínseca (r=0,36; p<0,001). Apresentaram maiores chances de usar o álcool adolescentes do sexo masculino (p<0,001; odds ratio — OR=6,58), com idade mais próxima aos 18 anos (p<0,001; OR=1,37) e que não praticavam a religião (p<0,001; OR=6,48). Conclusões: Adolescentes com maiores níveis de religiosidade organizacional e intrínseca utilizaram menos frequentemente álcool de forma arriscada ou prejudicial, enquanto ser homem, possuir idade mais próxima aos 18 anos e não praticar a religião aumentou a chance de utilizar álcool.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the correlation between religiosity and alcohol use among adolescents with orofacial clefts. Methods: Cross-sectional study, developed in a Brazilian public and tertiary hospital, between December 2021 and March 2022. Data collection was hybrid, and three instruments were used: Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Durel Religiosity Scale, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. For statistical analysis, the following tests were used: χ2, Fisher’s Exact, Mann-Whitney and Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient, in addition to analyses of linear correlation strength and bivariate logistic regression. The significance level adopted for all tests was 5% (p≤0.05). Results: 370 adolescents participated, with a mean age of 15.2 years (±1.8). Among them, 23 (5.4%) used alcohol riskly or harmfully, being more frequent among male adolescents (p=0.001), those of mixed race (p=0.046), attending high school (p=0.011), with no religion (p<0.001), or who did not attend religious services (p<0.001). Levels of organizational, non-organizational and intrinsic religiosity were significantly lower among adolescents with risky or harmful alcohol use (p=0.005; p<0.001 and p=0.002, respectively). There was a moderate correlation between risky or harmful alcohol use and non-organizational (r=0.31; p=0.002) and intrinsic (r=0.36; p<0.001) religiosity. Male adolescents (p<0.001; OR=6.58), closest in age to 18 years (p<0.001; OR=1.37), and non-practitioners of religion (p<0.001; OR=6. 48) presented higher odds of risky or harmful alcohol use. Conclusions: Adolescents with higher levels of organizational and intrinsic religiosity used less alcohol, while males, closest in age to 18 years, and non-practitioners of religion presented higher odds of using alcohol riskly or harmfully.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the contextual factors associated with the quality of life (QOL) of Brazilian children aged 0–12 years during the strict period of social isolation. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted between July and September 2020 using an online questionnaire on QOL-related family factors and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™). Results were analyzed by multinomial logistic regression analysis. Results: The sample had 849 children, mostly from the South Region of Brazil (75%), white (83%), with typical development (79%), sedentary (68%), using screen (85%) for >3 h/day (44%). Their mothers were their main caregivers (90%). The following variables were significantly associated with high scores of QOL: typical health status (OR 2.38; 95%CI 1.60–3.55; screen time ≤2 h/day (OR 1.62; 95%CI 1.17–2.24); social distancing considered as “easy” (OR 1.67; 95%CI 1.20–2.32), and stimulation of the child by the family (OR 1.93; 95%CI 1.08–3.45). Conclusions: This study indicates that the family context can influence children’s QOL, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and home environment reorganization.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the predictive value of initial intraocular pressure difference of the detached and fellow eyes of patients with complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment on postoperative persistent ocular hypotony. Methods: This retrospective observational study included 538 eyes of 538 unilateral complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment patients with a proliferative vitreoretinopathy grade of C-1 or higher, treated with silicone oil endotamponade following pars plana vitrectomy. The patients were divided into Group A (patients having silicone oil removal without ocular hypotony; n=504) and Group B (patients with persistent ocular hypotony following silicone oil removal [n=8, 23.5%] and with retained silicone oil [n=26, 76.5%] due to the risk of persistent ocular hypotony; total n=34). Ocular hypotony was defined as an intraocular pressure of <6 mmHg on two or more occasions. Patients’ demographics, including age, sex, and follow-up time, and ocular characteristics, including ocular surgical and trauma history, initial and final best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure and initial intraocular pressure difference of the detached and fellow eyes, and anatomical success rates and postoperative complications, were retrospectively collected from the electronic patient files. Results: The initial intraocular pressure was significantly lower in the detached eyes of Group B than in Group A (8.3 ± 3.5 vs. 12.9 ± 3.3, p<0.001). Also, the initial intraocular pressure difference was significantly higher in Group B than in Group A (8.9 ± 3.2 vs. 2.2 ± 2.7mmHg, p<0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the cutoff value of the initial intraocular pressure difference was 7.5mmHg for the risk of persistent ocular hypotony. The most influential factors on postoperative persistent ocular hypotony in the binary logistic regression analysis were the initial intraocular pressure difference and the need for a retinectomy. Conclusion: In eyes with complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated with pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade, the initial intraocular pressure difference could be of value in predicting postoperative persistent ocular hypotony and could guide surgeons on the decision of silicone oil removal.

ABSTRACT Desertification is the degradation process caused by climatic conditions and human activities that results in loss of soil productivity and decline in vegetation growth in the long term. Several indices related to vegetation, soil and climate are used to monitor desertification, but few studies explore qualitative and quantitative aspects of indices on desertification on spatial and hierarchical scale. This study aims to identify and measure indices related to increased risk of desertification on global, local and hierarchical scales using multinomial logistic regression models. Images from TM, ETM+ and OLI sensor from 1997 to 2018 in the end of dry and rainy seasons were used to quantify NDVI, TGSI, albedo, temperature, aridity index, evapotranspiration and precipitation on global spatial scale (Irauçuba Centro Norte) and local spatial scale (Miraíma, Canindé, Irauçuba and Santa Quitéria). GISD was calculated by geometric mean of weighted indices and segmented into 8 classes of susceptibility to desertification (hierarchical scale). The results showed that the best models were obtained on local scale and for the end of the rainy season. Temperature proved to be the most important variable for increased risk of desertification on global, local and hierarchical scales. Therefore, the increase in the risk of desertification in the studied areas is due to human activities of deforestation, overgrazing and fire. These factors contributed to reduction of vegetation cover and increase in temperature, changing the microclimatic, which led to decline in precipitation and worsening of desertification. term TM ETM 199 201 NDVI TGSI albedo temperature index Norte Miraíma, Miraíma (Miraíma Canindé Quitéria.

RESUMO Objetivo: Examinar a associação entre vitimização por bullying e comportamentos de risco à saúde em adolescentes. Métodos: Uma amostra representativa de 1.020 adolescentes participou do estudo. As variáveis bullying, comportamentos de risco à saúde (tabaco, drogas, álcool, comportamento sedentário, uso de smartphone, nível de atividade física, sono) e situação econômica foram avaliadas por meio de questionários autorreportados. Razões de chance com intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%) foram obtidas por meio de regressão logística binária e regressão logística ordinal, bruta e ajustada (p<0,05). Resultados: As vítimas de bullying apresentaram maior probabilidade de fumar (OR 1,75; IC95% 1,28–2,40), consumir álcool (OR 1,43; IC95% 1,05–1,94), ter pior qualidade de sono (OR 1,94; IC95% 1,28–2,91) e apresentar mais comportamento sedentário (OR 1,43; IC95% 1,08–1,89) do que aqueles que não sofreram bullying. No entanto, as vítimas eram mais propensas a ter níveis elevados de atividade física do que os seus pares não vítimas de bullying (OR 1,66; IC95% 1,22–2,27). Conclusões: A vitimização por bullying esteve associada ao aumento da predisposição para a adoção de comportamentos de risco à saúde. Curiosamente, as vítimas também eram mais propensas a participar de atividades físicas.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the association between bullying victimization and health risk behaviors in adolescents. Methods: A representative sample of 1020 adolescents participated in the study. The variables such as bullying, health risk behaviors (tobacco, drugs, alcohol, sedentary behavior, smartphone use, level of physical activity, and sleep), and economic status were assessed using self-reported questionnaires. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were obtained using binary logistic regression and ordinal, gross, and adjusted logistic regression (p<0.05). Results: Victims of bullying were more likely to smoke (OR 1.75; 95%CI 1.28–2.40), consume alcohol (OR1.43; 95%CI 1.05–1.94), have worse sleep quality (OR 1.94; 95%CI 1.28–2.91), and more sedentary behavior (OR 1.43; 95%CI 1.08–1.89) than those who were not bullied. However, victims were more likely to have high levels of physical activity than their non-bullied peers (OR 1.66; 95%CI 1.22–2.27). Conclusions: Bullying victimization was associated with an increased predisposition for the adoption of health risk behaviors. Interestingly, victims were also more prone to participate in physical activity.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre comportamentos modificáveis do estilo de vida e indicadores de saúde mental em adolescentes brasileiros. Métodos: Este estudo transversal utilizou dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar de 2019, incluindo 152.860 alunos. Comportamentos de estilo de vida e indicadores de saúde mental foram obtidos por meio de um questionário autoaplicável. Análises de regressão logística foram utilizadas para examinar a associação entre comportamentos de estilo de vida e indicadores de saúde mental.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the association between modifiable lifestyle behaviors and mental health indicators in Brazilian adolescents. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the 2019 National Survey of School Health including 152,860 students. The lifestyle behaviors and mental health indicators were obtained from a self-reported questionnaire. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the association between lifestyle behaviors and mental health indicators. Results: Infrequent healthy eating (OR 1.22; 95%CI 1.14–1.31), being inactive (OR 1.82; 95%CI 1.65–2.01), smoking (OR 1.24; 95%CI 1.10–1.40), and irregular school attendance (OR 1.31; 95%CI 1.22–1.40) were associated with not having close friends. Additionally, not having close friends was also associated with unhealthy eating (OR 0.86; 95%CI 0.81–0.92) and alcohol consumption (OR 0.81; 95%CI 0.75–0.87). Infrequent healthy eating (OR 1.29; 95%CI 1.24–1.33), frequent unhealthy eating (OR 1.39; 95%CI 1.35–1.43), being inactive (OR 1.12; 95%CI 1.07–1.18), excessive screen time and sitting (OR 1.10; 95%CI 1.07–1.14 and OR 1.68; 95%CI 1.63–1.73, respectively), smoking (OR 1.26; 95%CI 1.19–1.34), alcohol (OR 1.33; 95%CI 1.28–1.37), drugs (OR 1.13; 95%CI 1.05–1.22), and irregular school attendance (OR 1.53; 95%CI 1.48–1.59) were associated with worse self-rated mental health.

Abstract Introduction. The cultivation of dragon fruit (Hylocereus costaricensis and H. monocanthus) is increasing in Costa Rica, but technical information for its management, such as nutritional requirements, fertilization timing, and growth behavior, is lacking. Objective. To quantify and model the growth and nutrient uptake of dragon fruit (H. costaricensis and H. monocanthus) under dry tropics conditions in Costa Rica. Materials and methods. The research was conducted from 2017 to 2020 in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Plants were sampled at 76, 165, 308, 450, 607, 903, 1249, and 1706 days after planting (DAP) and 205 fruits were analyzed. Dry matter was quantified, and the uptake of N, P, Ca, Mg, K, S, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, and B was calculated. Two logistic models were fitted to determine nutrient uptake, and linear regressions were calibrated for fresh fruit. Results. For a planting density of 3000 plants/ha, the nutritional requirements per hectare were: 137 kg N, 32 kg P, 327 kg K, 63 kg Mg, 32 kg S, 1,60 kg Zn, and 0,21 kg B. The best-fitting logistic model (RMSE = 0.09) accurately estimated the uptake of N, P, Ca, S, Zn, and B. The linear regression model demonstrated high predictive capacity (R2 > 0.85) for the nutrient requirements of N, P, K, Mg, and S in the fruit. Conclusion. Logistic models provided high precision in deterministically modeling nutrient uptake in dragon fruit plants. The study affectively quantified and modeled the nutritional behavior of the plants under Costa Rica’s dry tropical conditions, providing essential information for optimizing fertilization programs for the crop.

Resumen A partir de un estudio sociodemográfico, se describe la disolución conyugal por divorcio y separación, en familias de la región fronteriza del norte de México. Se proporciona una visión general acerca del nivel de frecuencia de la inestabilidad conyugal a nivel regional y algunas de las diferencias entre las entidades federativas que la componen. Se utiliza la Encuesta Nacional de la Dinámica Demográfica (Enadid) de 2018 y otras fuentes de información secundaria. El análisis se basa en los indicadores obtenidos de las disoluciones de la primera unión conyugal de mujeres alguna vez unidas, mediante el uso de la técnica de tablas de vida y los modelos de regresión logística. Entre otros resultados, se encontró que la región norteña tiene uno de los niveles más altos de disolución conyugal en el país, pero con interesantes diferencias que destacan entre los estados del noroeste y el noreste, generando un patrón dual en la región.

Abstract This is a descriptive socio-demographic study of the marital dissolution by divorce and separation in the northern border region of Mexico. The objective is to provide a general view of the level of this type of dissolutions in the region and some of its differences among the federal entities that form it. For this purpose, we use information from the National Survey of the Demographic Dynamics 2018 (ENADID) and secondary sources of information. The analysis is based on the indicators about the dissolution of the first conjugal union of ever-married women that were calculated through the life table technique and logistic regression models. The results evidence that the northern region has one of the highest levels of marital dissolution in the country, but with interesting differences between the states located in the northwest and the northeast generating a dual pattern in the region.

Resumen Introducción: la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) provoca cambios irreversibles en la función del riñón o en su estructura alrededor de 3 meses . Se considera en salud pública como un grave problema, dado a su comportamiento y potencial letalidad. Objetivo: determinar los factores de riesgo asociados a la progresión de la enfermedad renal crónica en pacientes atendidos en el Hospital San Juan de Dios del municipio de Pamplona, Norte de Santander durante el período 2019 - 2021. Metodología: estudio de corte transversal, analítico, retrospectivo. Se estudiaron y analizaron características sociodemográficas y clínicas mediante métodos de estadística descriptiva e inferencial, se construyó un modelo multivariado de regresión logística con nivel de significancia de 0,05. Resultados: la prevalencia de la ERC estadio 3A fue del 74,9%. Del total de pacientes incluidos en la investigación, 186 (53,7%) tuvieron reporte de progresión. El modelo multivariado indicó que ser mujer está asociado a la progresión de la enfermedad renal cuando se ajusta por TFG (OR 1,07 (IC 1,03-1,12; p = <0,001)), la edad (OR 1,07 (IC 1,03-1,11; p = <0,001)), creatinina (OR 25,2 (IC 5,10-125,1); p = <0,001)) y albuminuria (OR 1,00 (IC 0,99 - 1,01); p= <0,001)). Conclusión: se hace necesario en un futuro estudio involucrar variables de adherencia al tratamiento, así como el tiempo de evolución de la patología y algunos elementos como hábitos, estilos de vida y calidad del control.

Abstract Introduction : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is considered in public health as a serious problem, given its behavior and lethal potential, this is defined as irreversible changes in kidney function or its structure that last at least 3 months. Objective : To determine the risk factors associated with the progression of CKD in patients treated at the Hospital San Juan de Dios in the municipality of Pamplona Norte de Santander for the period 2019 - 2021. Methodology : Cross-sectional, analytical, retrospective study. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were studied and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods, a multivariate logistic regression model was constructed with a significance level of 0.05. Results : The prevalence of stage 3a chronic kidney disease (CKD) was 74.9%. Out of the total patients included in the research, 186 (53.7%) showed evidence of progression. The multivariate model indicated that being female is associated with the progression of renal disease when adjusted for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (OR 1.07 (IC 1.03-1.12; p < 0.001)), age (OR 1.07 (IC 1.03-1.11; p < 0.001)), creatinine (OR 25.2 (IC 5.1-125.1); p < 0.001)), and albuminuria (OR 1.00 (IC 0.99-1.01); p < 0.001)). Conclusions: It is necessary in a future study to involve variables of adherence to treatment and treatment, as well as the time of evolution of the pathology and some elements such as habit, lifestyles and quality of control.

RESUMEN Se entiende como calidad del trabajo intrínseco a variables como: el grado de autonomía, la variedad y complejidad de las tareas, el uso de habilidades y la posibilidad de desarrollo profesional en el trabajo. En tanto que, las perspectivas futuras abordan la percepción de los trabajadores sobre su futuro laboral, incluyendo aspectos como las oportunidades de progreso profesional, la seguridad en el empleo y la satisfacción laboral. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la importancia de las variables asociadas a la calidad intrínseca del trabajo y las perspectivas futuras en relación con el estrés experimentado por los trabajadores autónomos en Ecuador. Se aplicó un enfoque cuantitativo mediante regresión logística a datos de una muestra de 1055 trabajadores de la provincia de Manabí, utilizando la Encuesta Europea sobre Condiciones de Trabajo (EWCS) 2015. Se encontró que una evaluación positiva del trabajo propio está asociada con mayor estrés, mientras resolver problemas imprevistos personalmente se relaciona con menos estrés. Además, realizar tareas complejas y ofrecer formación pagada externa o en el lugar de trabajo aumenta la probabilidad de estrés. Por otro lado, menor satisfacción en el trabajo, disfrutar ser el propio jefe, dificultades para manejar el negocio, facilidad para encontrar nuevos clientes y la percepción de que el trabajo afecta la salud también están vinculados con mayor estrés. Estos hallazgos destacan la importancia de gestionar el trabajo y el entorno laboral para mejorar el bienestar de los trabajadores autónomos.

ABSTRACT Intrinsic job quality is understood in terms of variables such as: the degree of autonomy, the variety and complexity of tasks, the use of skills, and the possibility of professional development at work. Meanwhile, future prospects address workers' perceptions of their career future, including aspects such as opportunities for professional advancement, job security, and job satisfaction. This research aims to analyze the importance of variables associated with intrinsic job quality and future prospects in relation to the stress experienced by self-employed workers in Ecuador. A quantitative approach was applied using logistic regression to data from a sample of 1055 workers in the province of Manabí, utilizing the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS). It was found that a positive assessment of one's own work is associated with higher stress, while personally resolving unforeseen problems is related to lower stress. Additionally, performing complex tasks and providing paid external or on-the-job training increases the likelihood of stress. On the other hand, lower job satisfaction, enjoying being one's own boss, difficulties in managing the business, ease in finding new clients, and the perception that work affects health are also linked to higher stress. These findings underscore the importance of managing work and the work environment to improve the well-being of self-employed workers.

Abstract The objective of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the preference index (IP) and synchrony (IS) of forage species from Baja California Sur. Samples of the 23 forage species of trees and shrubs were obtained to perform in situ digestibility analyzes using four Creole-Nubian goats. Collections were carried out in winter and spring of 2004, and summer and autumn of 2005. The extent of degradation per hour and total of 24 h was calculated from the amount of OM and PC degraded per hour; these data were used to calculate the IS. The seasonal PI data set was obtained from previously published information. A logistic regression model was used to explain the probability of occurrence of the IP with the IS. The regression model to explain the IP from the IS was significant and predictive for six species, being positive for Adelia virgata, Amaratus palmeri, Haematoxilon brasiletto, Lippia palmeri and Prosopis sp., and negative for Bursera microphyla. For other tree species and legumes in general, the model was significant, but not predictive, therefore, it is necessary to include other factors to fit the model.

Resumen El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la relación existente entre el índice de preferencia (IP) y sincronía (IS) de especies forrajeras de Baja California Sur. Se obtuvieron muestras de las 23 especies forrajeras de árboles y arbustos para realizar análisis de digestibilidad in situ utilizando para ello cuatro cabras con encaste de criollas-Nubio. Se llevaron a cabo colecciones en invierno y primavera del 2004 y verano y otoño de 2005. La extensión de degradación por hora y total de 24 h se calculó a partir de la cantidad de MO y PC degradados por hora; estos datos se utilizaron para calcular el IS. El conjunto de datos del IP estacional se obtuvo de información publicada previamente. Se utilizó un modelo de regresión logística para explicar la probabilidad de ocurrencia del IP con el IS. El modelo de regresión para explicar el IP a partir del IS fue significativo y predictivo para seis especies, siendo positiva para Adelia virgata, Amaratus palmeri, Haematoxilon brasiletto, Lippia palmeri y Prosopis sp., y negativa para Bursera microphyla. Para otras especies arbóreas y las leguminosas en general, el modelo fue significativo, pero no predictivo, por lo tanto, es necesaria incluir otros factores para ajustar el modelo.

Resumo Introdução: A falta de profissionais especializados pode contribuir para incapacidade de atender à demanda por transplantes renais. Além disto, não existe uma proposta universal para o processo de formação de cirurgiões transplantadores. Nosso objetivo foi explorar características do programa de treinamento e atividades profissionais das equipes de transplante renal no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Métodos: Convidamos os cirurgiões dos 19 centros de transplante renal ativos em Minas Gerais a participarem desse estudo transversal. Comparamos dados demográficos e de formação profissional utilizando modelos de regressão linear e logística. Resultados: A taxa de resposta entre os centros foi elevada (89%); metade dos cirurgiões responderam à pesquisa (39/78). A maioria dos centros eram instituições públicas de ensino, com contrato de remuneração por produção, com média de 6 ± 2,4 cirurgiões/equipe; 94,2% dos centros tinham urologistas. Os cirurgiões eram 95% homens (idade entre 46, 3 ± 9,7 anos) e 59% eram urologistas. A maioria estava envolvida em captação e transplante de órgãos; somente um trabalhava exclusivamente com transplante. O período médio desde a formação foi de 13 ± 9,4 anos, com média de 10 ± 9,7 anos como parte da equipe de transplante. Apenas 25,6% possuíam formação especializada ou formal em transplante, com somente um tendo concluído residência médica formal em transplante renal. A falta de programas de treinamento foi o motivo mais citado. Conclusão: Cirurgiões de transplante renal não são exclusivos e a maioria não concluiu um programa formal de treinamento em transplante pela falta de disponibilidade. Esses dados indicam necessidade de aprimorar programas de treinamento e facilitar a formação de novas equipes de transplante renal.

Abstract Introduction: The lack of specialized professionals potentially contributes to the inability to meet the demand for kidney transplantations. Moreover, there is no universal proposal for the training process of transplantation surgeons. We aimed to explore the characteristics of the training program and professional activities of kidney transplantation teams in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: We invited the surgeons of all 19 active kidney transplantation centers in Minas Gerais to participate in this cross-sectional study. Demographic and professional training data were compared using linear and logistic regression models. Results: The response rate among the centers was high (89%); half of the surgeons answered the survey (39/78). Most of the centers were public teaching institutions, under a production-based payment contract, with a mean of 6 ± 2.4 surgeons/team; 94.2% of the centers had urologists. The surgeons were 95% male (age of 46.3 ± 9.7 years) and 59% were urologists. Most were involved in organ procurement and transplantation; only one surgeon worked exclusively with transplantation. The mean period since training was 13 ± 9.4 years, with a mean of 10 ± 9.7 years as part of the transplantation team. Only 25.6% had specialized or formal training in transplantation, with only one completing a formal medical residency for kidney transplantation. The lack of training programs was the most frequently cited reason. Conclusion: Kidney transplantation surgeons are not exclusive and most have not completed a formal fellowship program in transplantation because they are not available. These data indicate the need to improve training programs and facilitate the formation of new kidney transplantation teams.

SUMMARY: In the present study, it is aimed to reveal the performances of different classification algorithms in sex determination from first cervical vertebra, that is, atlas measurements. The classification success of 4 different machine learning algorithms was comparatively examined for the purpose of sex determination by evaluating 22 atlas measurements on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 145 female and 145 male adults. Logistic regression (LR), classification and regression tree (CART), support vector machine (SVM) and neural network (NN) algorithms were used for sex diagnosis. Area under the ROC curve (AUC), classification accuracy (CA), F1-ratio, Precision and Recall indexes were used for model performances. Except for 2 measurements, there was a significant difference between men and women in terms of 20 other parameters (p<0.05). The adjusted effects of these parameters on sex determination were examined with multivariate models and algorithms, and the success of all 4 algorithms was quite good. The success of the NN algorithm (Accuracy 91.3 %; 0.87 Specificity, 0.85 Sensitivity) in correctly classifying male and female was the highest, followed by the LR algorithm (Accuracy 90.9 %; 0.86 Specificity, 0.83 Sensitivity). It was found that the machine learning algorithm applied to the variables of the atlas gave high accuracy regarding sex and the NN model was highly effective in sex determination. In addition, a large morphometric database of atlas was presented in our results.

RESUMEN: El objetivo de estudio fue revelar el desempeño de diferentes algoritmos de clasificación en la determinación del sexo a partir de la primera vértebra cervical, el atlas. El éxito de la clasificación de 4 algoritmos diferentes de aprendizaje automático se examinó comparativamente con el fin de determinar el sexo mediante la evaluación de 22 mediciones de atlas en imágenes de tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (CBCT) de 145 mujeres y 145 hombres adultos. Para el diagnóstico de sexo se utilizaron algoritmos de clasificación y árbol de regresión (CART), máquina de vectores de soporte (SVM) y redes neuronales (NN). Para el rendimiento del modelo se utilizaron el área bajo la curva ROC (AUC), la precisión de clasificación (CA), la relación F1, los índices de precisión y recuperación. Excepto en dos mediciones, hubo una diferencia significativa entre hombres y mujeres en otros 20 parámetros (p<0,05). Los efectos ajustados de estos parámetros en la determinación del sexo se examinaron con modelos y algoritmos multivariados, y el éxito de los cuatro algoritmos fue bastante bueno. El éxito del algoritmo NN (Precisión 91,3 %; 0,87 Especificidad, 0,85 Sensibilidad) en clasificar correctamente a hombres y mujeres fue el más alto, seguido por el algoritmo LR (Precisión 90,9 %; 0,86 Especificidad, 0,83 Sensibilidad). Se encontró que el algoritmo de aprendizaje automático aplicado a las variables del atlas dio una alta precisión con respecto al sexo, y el modelo NN fue altamente efectivo en la determinación del sexo. Además, en nuestros resultados se presentó una importante base de datos morfométricos del atlas.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effect of coronavirus disease 2019 on the cardiovascular autonomic system using heart rate variability in young individuals. METHODS: The study was designed retrospectively by scanning the 24-h Holter electrocardiography records of patients who applied to the Ankara Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Oncology Education and Research Hospital Cardiology outpatient clinic. The study group consisted of 492 patients under the age of 40 years, who did not have additional comorbidities or medication use and had prolonged symptoms after coronavirus disease 2019 during the pandemic. The control group, including 401 patients, was determined during the pre-pandemic period (before December 2019). Heart rate variability parameters were evaluated by scanning the 24-h Holter electrocardiography records of the patients and compared with the non-coronavirus disease 2019 group. RESULTS: The median age of participants was 30 years. Standard deviation of normal RR intervals (SDNN) ≤100 ms was more prevalent in the study group (27 (6.7%) vs 73 (14.8%), p<0.001). In univariate logistic regression analysis, the presence of coronavirus disease 2019 [(OR 2.41, 95%CI 1.52–3.83), p<0.001] and age [(OR 1.04, 95%CI 1.01–1.07), p=0.016] had a significant effect on the probability of SDNN≤100. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the presence of coronavirus disease 2019 [(OR 2.42, 95%CI 1.52–3.85), p<0.001] and age [(OR 2.42, 95%CI 1.52–3.85), p=0.016] had a significant effect on the probability of SDNN≤100. Frequency domain measures such as, high-frequency values were significantly higher in the study group (p=0.029). The study group’s low-frequency/high frequency ratio was significantly lower (p=0.019). The low-frequency/high-frequency ratio’s cut-off value was ≤2.77. for determining the differentiation between coronavirus disease 2019 positive and negative cases in the receiver operating characteristic analysis. The sensitivity rate was 80.7%. The area under the curve value is 0.546 (p=0.019). CONCLUSION: This study showed that coronavirus disease 2019 causes reduced heart rate variability and increased parasympathetic activity in young patients. This may explain the prolonged symptoms after coronavirus disease 2019 infection.
