Abstract The State, in its discourse of protecting its citizens and the need for mass incarceration, uses its inherent powers to abridge rights and conduct them in such a way that structural inequality ends up amplifying the effects of the virus inside prisons. Given this, this study aims to bring a reflection on biopolitics, biopower and necropolitics in women's prisons in the state of Amazonas and how this concept was sharpened in the public health crisis caused by the pandemic of Covid-19. This is an exploratory-descriptive literature review, using a qualitative approach. The period studied is the years 2020 to 2022, the peak of the Covid-19 crisis worldwide. The results point to a necropolitical regime of health care historically created in prisons, an environment not conducive to dignified living conditions, nor able to delay death.

Resumo O Estado em seu discurso de proteção aos seus cidadãos e da necessidade do encarceramento em massa, utiliza-se dos poderes inerentes a ele, para abreviar direitos e conduzi-los de modo que a desigualdade estrutural acabe por ampliar os efeitos do vírus dentro das prisões. Diante disto, este estudo tem como objetivo trazer uma reflexão sobre biopolítica, biopoder e necropolítica nas prisões femininas do estado do Amazonas e como este conceito foi aguçado na crise de saúde pública causada pela pandemia de Covid-19. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, de cunho exploratório-descritivo, através de uma abordagem qualitativa. O período estudado compreende os anos de 2020 a 2022, auge da crise da Covid-19 em todo o planeta. Os resultados apontam para um regime necropolítico de atenção à saúde criando historicamente nos estabelecimentos penais um ambiente não propício a condições dignas de vida, tampouco apto para retardar a morte.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the most frequent neoplasm of the digestive system in older adults. In Cuba, it is a highly significant health problem due to its high incidence and mortality, also being the third cause of death. Objective: To characterize older adults with colorectal cancer at Policlínico Sur of Sancti Spíritus. Methods: A descriptive research was carried out in Policlínico Sur of Sancti Spíritus Municipality and Province from January to March 2019. The intentional sample was made up of 127 older adults, belonging to urban family medical offices. The variables were age, sex, school level, stage of colorectal cancer at diagnosis, health status, comorbidities, selfcare capacity and perception, and survival. The anatomoclinical classification was used to determine the stage at diagnosis. Comorbidity was measured using the Chalson index, while the CYPAC-AM (older adult selfcare capacity and perception) test was used to measure selfcare capacity and perception. Results: In the characterization of the sample, there was a predominance of women, the age group between 70 and 79 years, and the junior high school level. Stage II prevailed, together with poor health status and inadequate selfcare perception. Comorbidity was moderate, with survival between 40 to 60 months. Conclusions: The adequate characterization of older adults with colorectal cancer in the community makes it possible to outline strategies aimed at improving selfcare and their health status from the first level of care.

RESUMEN Introducción: El cáncer colorrectal es la neoplasia más frecuente del sistema digestivo en los adultos mayores. En Cuba es un problema de salud de primer orden por su elevada incidencia y mortalidad, que constituye la tercera causa de muerte. Objetivo: Caracterizar a los adultos mayores con cáncer colorrectal en el Policlínico Sur de Sancti Spíritus. Métodos: Investigación de tipo descriptiva en el Policlínico Sur del municipio y la provincia de Sancti Spíritus de enero a marzo del 2019. Muestra intencional de 127 adultos mayores, pertenecientes a consultorios urbanos. Las variables: edad, sexo, escolaridad, estadio del cáncer colorrectal al diagnóstico, estado de salud, comorbilidades, capacidad y percepción del autocuidado y supervivencia. Para determinar el estadio al diagnóstico se utilizó la clasificación anatomoclínica. La comorbilidad se midió mediante el índice de Chalson mientras que para medir la capacidad y percepción del autocuidado se empleó el Test de CYPAC-AM. Resultados: En la caracterización de la muestra predominaron las mujeres, el grupo de edad entre 70 y 79 años y la escolaridad de secundaria básica. El estadio II, con un mal estado de salud y la inadecuada percepción de autocuidado, fue mayoritario. La comorbilidad fue moderada con una supervivencia entre 40 a 60 meses. Conclusiones: La adecuada caracterización de los adultos mayores con cáncer colorrectal en la comunidad posibilita trazar estrategias dirigidas a la mejora del autocuidado y el estado de salud de los gerontes desde el primer nivel de atención.

ABSTRACT From an academic perspective, it has been feasible to address the various stages of formation of the human body through the exploration of innovative procedures, such as rhinometry and computed tomography, to evaluate the configuration of the nasal cavity. However, the manifestation of maxillary compression is frequent, which raises the need to know the existing correlation between the maxilla and the respiratory standard. Therefore, this review focused, based on PRISMA methodological criteria, on examining the effects and modifications in the nasal cavity and the respiratory standard after miniscrew-assisted maxillary expansion, without overlooking the fact that during maxillary expansion there could be modifications in the sutures of the cranio-cervical maxillofacial complex. Although the results are promising and encouraging, the benefits and contraindications of maxillary expansion as an ideal therapeutic option for patients with transverse deficiency of the maxilla should be carefully considered; in this way, it is possible to obtain several lines of research that provide a comprehensive view of the current scientific evidence, allowing academia to generate protocols for making the right decisions in the treatment of transverse deficiency of the maxilla.

RESUMEN El rol del estudiante de las carreras sanitarias dentro de la práctica médica es imprescindible dentro de la dinámica de los servicios sanitarios. Su participación cada vez más activa y menos supervisada ha incrementado los procesos judiciales donde se lo involucra como responsable directo o solidario del daño ocasionado al paciente. Determinar la responsabilidad legal del estudiante dentro de la práctica médica y la normativa que ampara sus intervenciones. La presente investigación cualitativa de diseño narrativo descriptivo se enmarcó en el análisis de un caso judicializado contra una estudiante de enfermería suscitado en Chile, enfocando la discusión a la normativa legal vigente del Ecuador en relación al programa de Internado Rotativo. El marco jurídico de la práctica asistencial docente resulta insuficiente para dimensionar la responsabilidad legal del estudiante de ciencias de la salud frente a las imputaciones por negligencia médica.

Abstract: Over the decades, the Mexican state has monitored the media through mechanisms to control and avoid criticism. This article develops the hypothesisthat the state seeks to extend this type of control tothe digital sphere based upon legal strategies toregulate social media and platforms By doing so,we argue, it affects the freedom of expression and the access to information. We conducted an archival analysis, under a qualitative frame, applied to a corpus of several and diverse proposals to changeregulation that were debated between 2014 and 2021 in order to reform the Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law in Mexico and to regulate digital services. Under an imperative normative approach interpreting the legal documents, we find a legislative pattern that violates human rights, including freedom of expression, access to information, and privacy of communications. The research also identifies a pattern of promoting self-censorship among users and journalists.

Resumen: El artículo realiza el análisis documental cualitativo de iniciativas de reforma a la Ley Federal de Telecomunicaciones y Radiodifusión en materia de regulación de servicios digitales, presentados en México de 2014 a 2021, a raíz de la modernización de los medios de comunicación como consecuencia del desarrollo de las nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación. El objetivo general es conocer las diferentes interpretaciones de estas iniciativas de Ley, propensas a generar otros mecanismos de control que transgredan derechos humanos como el acceso a la información o la libertad de expresión de los usuarios. Se parte de la hipótesis de que el Estado busca extender el control de los medios de comunicación hacia el espacio digital, a través de la aprobación de mecanismos jurídicos para regular las plataformas y redes sociodigitales en Internet que resultan ser inhibidores del derecho de libertad de expresión en lugar de protegerlo.

Resumen Introducción: La ectasia coronaria (EC) es una remodelación patológica con una prevalencia mundial baja. Se define como una dilatación difusa mayor a 1.5 veces el diámetro de los segmentos adyacentes de esta o diferentes arterias coronarias. Objetivo: Documentar las características clínicas y angiográficas, y el tratamiento médico que reciben los pacientes con diagnóstico de EC en el Instituto Nacional de Cardiología (INC). Métodos: Estudio de tipo transversal con diseño no experimental descriptivo, con un muestreo por conveniencia no probabilístico. Resultados: De 69 pacientes que asistieron al INC con diagnóstico de EC la mayor parte eran hombres, con una media de edad de 56 ± 11 años, el factor de riesgo coronario más común en los pacientes con EC fue el tabaquismo, en 40 (58%); se asoció un infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST (IAMCEST) en 45 (65.2%), de localización frecuente en la cara inferior 18 (40%), relacionado con la arteria más afectada, la coronaria derecha 48 (69.6%), seguida de la circunfleja 39 (56.5%). Destaca el uso preferente de la terapia antiplaquetaria dual con anticoagulante (APD+ACO) en 40 (58%) al egreso de cada paciente del INC. Conclusión: La EC es una remodelación patológica no infrecuente en el INC. En este estudio se evidenció que el SCA-IAMCEST es la manifestación más típica de la EC, la coronariografía diagnóstica identificó un Markis tipo 3, por lo que se esperaría una tasa baja de mortalidad y recurrencia de eventos cardiovasculares y a pesar de no existir un consenso sobre la terapia ideal, en el INC se prefiere el tratamiento individualizado, recomendando modificación en el estilo de vida y empleando como tratamiento médico el uso de la triple terapia (APD+ACO) solo al momento de egreso del paciente.

Abstract Introduction: Coronary Ectasia (CE) is a pathological remodeling with a low worldwide prevalence. It is defined as a diffuse dilatation greater than 1.5 times the diameter of the adjacent segments of the same or different coronary arteries. Objective: To document the clinical and angiographic characteristics, and medical treatment at the discharge of patients diagnosed with coronary ectasia who attended the National Institute of Cardiology (INC). Methods: Cross-sectional study with a non-experimental descriptive design, with a non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Results: Of 69 patients who attended the INC with a diagnosis of CD, most were men, with a mean age of 56 + 11 years, the most common coronary risk factor in patients with CE was smoking 58% (40); it was associated mostly with an acute myocardial infarction ST-segment elevation (STEMI) 65.2% (45), of frequent location in the lower face 40% (18), correlated with the most affected artery is the Right Coronary Artery (CD) 69.6% (48), followed by the circumflex (Cx) 56.5% (39). A mean LVEF of 47 + 9.72 was evident within the ventricular function. As well as the preferential use of dual antiplatelet therapy with anticoagulant (DAP + OAC) in 58% (40) at the discharge of each patient from the INC. Conclusion: CE is a not uncommon pathological remodeling in INC. This study showed that STEMI is the most typical manifestation of CE, diagnostic coronary angiography identified a type 3 Markis, so a low rate of mortality and recurrence of cardiovascular events would be expected, and despite the lack of consensus on the ideal therapy, at the INC individualized treatment is preferred, recommending lifestyle changes, and using triple therapy (DAP + OAC) as a medical treatment only at the time of patient discharge.

Abstract Objective: The objective of the study was to analyze the differences between survivors and non-survivors with non-reperfused ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and to identify the predictors of in-hospital mortality. Methods: A retrospective cohort study included non-reperfused STEMI patients from October 2005 to August 2020. Patients were classified into survivors and non-survivors. We compared patient characteristics, treatments, and outcomes among the groups and identified factors associated with in-hospital mortality. Results: We included 2442 patients with non-reperfused STEMI and we found a mortality of 12.7% versus 7.2% in reperfused STEMI. The main reason for non-reperfusion was delayed presentation (96.1%). Non-survivors were older, more often women, and had diabetes, hypertension, or atrial fibrillation. The left main coronary disease was more frequent in non-survivors as well as three-vessel disease. Non-survivors developed more in-hospital heart failure, reinfarction, atrioventricular block, bleeding, stroke, and death. The main predictors for in-hospital mortality were renal dysfunction (HR 3.41), systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg (HR 2.26), and left ventricle ejection fraction < 40% (HR 1.97). Conclusion: Mortality and adverse outcomes occur more frequently in non-reperfused STEMI. Non-survivors tend to be older, with more comorbidities, and have more adverse in-hospital outcomes.

Resumen Objetivo: Analizar las diferencias entre los sobrevivientes y no sobrevivientes con infarto agudo de miocardio no reperfundido y conocer los predictores de mortalidad intrahospitalaria. Métodos: Estudio de cohorte retrospectiva que incluyó pacientes con infarto agudo de miocardio no reperfundido de octubre de 2005 a agosto de 2020. Se clasificaron los pacientes de acuerdo a su estado de sobrevida y se compararon las características clínicas, tratamientos y desenlaces para poder identificar los predictores de mortalidad intrahospitalaria. Resultados: Se incluyeron 2442 pacientes con infarto agudo de miocardio no reperfundido, en los que se encontró una mortalidad de 12.7% vs 7.2% los que si recibieron tratamiento de reperfusión. La principal razón para no recibir tratamiento de reperfusión fue el retraso en la atención médica (96.1%). Los no sobrevivientes tuvieron mayor edad, fueron mujeres y tuvieron mayor frecuencia de diabetes, hipertensión y fibrilación atrial. El tronco de la coronaria izquierda y la enfermedad trivascular fueron más frecuentes en los que no sobrevivieron. Los pacientes que no sobrevivieron desarrollaron más insuficiencia cardiaca, reinfarto, bloqueo atrioventricular, sangrados, evento vascular cerebral y muerte. Los principales predictores de mortalidad intrahospitalaria fueron: insuficiencia renal (HR 3.41), tensión arterial sistólica al ingreso < 100 mmHg (HR 2.26) y fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo < 40% (HR 1.97). Conclusiones: Los pacientes con infarto de miocardio no reperfundido tienen mayor mortalidad y desenlaces adversos. Los no sobrevivientes fueron mayores, con más comorbilidades y desarrollaron más desenlaces adversos intrahospitalarios.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Lower limb amputation affects mainly economically active young adults, causing great socio-economic impact due to impaired work capacity, socialization, and quality of life. Thus, the use of orthostatic devices could make reintegration of the individual back into the work environment possible. Objective: To evaluate the immediate effect of using a postural elevation device on physiological parameters and plantar pressure levels in amputees who practice physical activity. Methods: Sociodemographic and perceived sleep quality data were collected from 14 adults of both sexes with lower limb amputations, who practice physical activity. The participants were placed in postural elevation equipment for a period of 90 minutes with monitoring of physiological parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation. Parameters related to the autonomic nervous system and plantar pressure levels were also evaluated. Data were also collected during recovery at 15- and 30-minute intervals after using the device. Data analysis was performed using two-way ANOVA or a mixed-effects model with Sidak's multiple comparisons test. Results: For all cardiovascular parameters (p>0.05) analyzed, the activation level of the autonomic nervous system (p>0.05), and plantar pressure (p>0.05), no evidence of differences was observed during use of the orthostatic device in all evaluated periods. Conclusion: The use of postural elevation equipment for 90 minutes does not generate, as an immediate effect, changes in physiological parameters and postural control in amputees who practice physical activity. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies – investigation of treatment results. Clinical relevance statement .

ABSTRACT The welding of dissimilar steels such as duplex and superaustenitic stainless steels is often used in industrial applications. The effect of welding energy on the heat-affected zone (ZTA) and fusion zone (ZF) presents knowledge gaps to be researched in relation to the metallurgical and mechanical properties of these steels. Variations in the application of welding energy can favor the presence of a greater volume of the ferritic or austenitic phases, and in more critical cases, cause the formation of precipitates harmful to corrosion. This work aims to evaluate the metallurgical, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of dissimilar welding composed of duplex stainless steel S32205, as base metal, and superaustenitic stainless steel as weld metal, verifying the effects on microstructural, sensitization and anisotropies with the application of different heat inputs. In the microstructural analysis, the formation of first phase constituents, such as grain boundary austenite (GBA), witmanstatten austenite (WA), intragranular austenite (IGA) and secondary austenite (γ2) was verified. The microhardness values found were higher than those reported in the literature. In the corrosion tests, in environments with oxidizing chlorides, the samples showed pitting corrosion, with a high loss of mass in the specimens being detected. It is concluded that in the ZTA the metallurgical characteristics were maintained after the variation of the thermal input and in the ZF there was an increase in the loss of mass in the corrosion test in the analyzed samples.

RESUMO A soldagem de aços dissimilares, como os aços inoxidáveis duplex e superausteníticos é muitas vezes utilizada em aplicações industriais. O efeito da energia de soldagem na zona termicamente afetada (ZTA) e zona de fusão (ZF) apresenta lacunas de conhecimento a serem pesquisadas em relação às propriedades metalúrgicas e mecânicas destes aços. Variações na aplicação da energia da soldagem podem favorecer a presença de maior volume das fases ferrítica ou austenítica, e em casos mais críticos, ocasionar a formação de precipitados deletérios à resistência a corrosão. Este trabalho tem o objetivo avaliar as propriedades metalúrgicas, mecânicas e a resistência à corrosão da soldagem dissimilar composta de aço inoxidável duplex S32205, como metal de base, e aço inoxidável superaustenítico como metal de solda. Verificou-se os efeitos na microestrutura, sensitização e anisotropias com aplicação de diferentes aportes térmicos. Na análise microestrutural foi verificado a formação de constituintes de primeira fase, como a austenita de contorno de grãos (GBA), austenita de witmanstatten (WA), austenita intragranular (IGA) e austenita secundária (γ2). Os valores de microdureza encontrados foram superiores aos referenciados na literatura. Nos ensaios de corrosão, em ambientes com cloretos oxidantes, as amostras apresentaram corrosão por pitting, sendo detectada elevada perda de massa nos corpos de prova. Conclui-se que na ZTA as características metalúrgicas se mantiveram após a variação do aporte térmico e na ZF houve incremento da perda de massa no ensaio de corrosão nas amostras analisadas.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: COVID-19 has brought emerging public health emergency and new challenges. It configures a complex panorama that has been requiring a set of coordinated actions and has innovation as one of its pillars. In particular, the use of digital tools plays an important role. In this context, this study presents a screening algorithm that uses a machine learning model to assess the probability of a diagnosis of COVID-19 based on clinical data. METHODS: This algorithm was made available for free on an online platform. The project was developed in three phases. First, an machine learning risk model was developed. Second, a system was developed that would allow the user to enter patient data. Finally, this platform was used in teleconsultations carried out during the pandemic period. RESULTS: The number of accesses during the period was 4,722. A total of 126 assistances were carried out from March 23, 2020, to June 16, 2020, and 107 satisfaction survey returns were received. The response rate to the questionnaires was 84.92%, and the ratings obtained regarding the satisfaction level were higher than 4.8 (on a 0–5 scale). The Net Promoter Score was 94.4. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first online application of its kind that presents a probabilistic assessment of COVID-19 using machine learning models exclusively based on the symptoms and clinical characteristics of users. The level of satisfaction was high. The integration of machine learning tools in telemedicine practice has great potential.

Abstract The present study evaluated the effect of the taper angle of different internal conical connection implants and cyclic loading on the implant-abutment bacterial seal. A total of 96 implant-abutment sets were divided into eight groups. Four groups of different taper degrees with cyclic mechanical loading of 500,000 cycles per sample, with a 120-N load at 2 Hz before analysis [16DC (16-degree, cycled), 11.5DC (11.5-degree, cycled), 3DC (3- degree, cycled) and 4DC (4- degree, cycled)] were compared to four control groups without cyclic loading [16D (16-degree), 11.5D (11.5-degree), 3D (3-degree), and 4D (4-degree)]. Microbiological analysis was performed by immersing all samples in a suspension containing Escherichia coli and incubating them at 37°C. After 14 days, the presence of bacterial seals was evaluated. Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact tests and binomial tests were performed (5% significance level). The groups showed significant differences in bacterial seal, and mechanical load cycling improved the bacterial seal in the 3DC group. In all other groups, no significant differences in bacterial seal were found between cycled and uncycled samples. To conclude, the internal conical connection with a 3-degree taper angle showed better results than the other connection with different angles when subjected to load cycling. However, none of the angles tested were fully effective in sealing the implant-abutment interface.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the trend and correlation of obesity and the increase in continued breastfeeding in children aged six to 23 months in Brazil, from 2015-2019. Methods: ecological time series study with data from the Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (Food and Nutritional Surveillance System). The dependent variable was the prevalence of obesity. Prais-Winsten linear regression was used to verify the trend. Spearman’s correlation was used to verify the relationship between the prevalence of obesity and the increase in continued breastfeeding. Results: there was a trend towards a reduction in the prevalence of obesity in all regions in Brazil (Annual Percentage Variation [APV]: -4.14; CI95%=-4.50; -3.79). The prevalence of continued breastfeeding showed an upward trend in the North (APV=4.89; CI95%=2.92; 6.90), Southeast (APV=3.36; CI95%=2.32; 4 .41) and South (APV=2.67; CI95%=0.98; 4.38). There was a negative and significant correlation between obesity and continued breastfeeding in the North, Northeast, Southeast and South regions. Conclusion: the reduction in the prevalence of obesity and the increase in continued breastfeeding occurred only in some regions, requiring the implementation of effective strategies to be present throughout the country. Actions to promote, protect and support continued breastfeeding and healthy eating should be more prioritized to promote the child’s healthy growth.

Abstract The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of two different types of resistance training programming (linear and daily undulating) on submaximal strength and functional capacity in elderly women. Twenty-two participants (64 ± 3 years) were randomly assigned to 2 training groups: linear programming (LP; n=12) and daily undulating programming (DUP; n =10). Functional capacity and submaximal strength (10RM) were analyzed before and after 12 weeks of resistance training. The results demonstrated improvement on strength and functional capacity after the resistance training period (p ≤ 0.05), except for the Bench Press (p = 0.30), for both groups DUP and LP. The Effect Size was, respectively, high for DUP (timed up and go test = -2.07, and timed sit test= 4.69), and high for LP (horizontal leg press = 2.35). For all other results, the effect size was trivial or small. No statistical difference was observed between programming models. The LP and DUP trainnings have similar results in increasing submaximal muscle strength in elderly women inexperienced in RT after 12 weeks of intervention (p ≤ 0,05). However, DUP appears to be more effective in increasing functional capacity. In practice, the professional can use both the LP and the DUP to improve the level of fitness in the early stages of training in this population. However, when the goal of programming is to increase functional capacity, DUP can be prioritized.

Resumo O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar o efeito de dois tipos diferentes de programação do treinamento de força (linear e ondulatório diário) na força submáxima e na capacidade funcional de mulheres idosas. Vinte e duas participantes (64 ± 3 anos) foram randomizados em 2 grupos experimentais: programação linear (PL; n=12) e programação ondulatória diária (POD; n=10). A capacidade funcional e a força submáxima (10RM) foram avaliadas antes e depois das 12 semanas de treinamento de força. Os resultados demonstraram melhora da força submáxima e da capacidade funcional após o período de treinamento (p ≤ 0,05), exceto para o exercício supino (p = 0,30), para ambos os grupos POD e PL. Foi encontrado um tamanho de efeito grande para a POD nos testes de sentar e caminhar = -2,07 e teste de sentar e levantar = 4,69, bem como na PL para o exercício leg press horizontal = 2,35. Não foi observada diferença estatística entre os modelos de programação. As programações LP e DUP têm resultados semelhantes no aumento da força muscular submáxima em mulheres idosas inexperientes em TR após 12 semanas de intervenção (p ≤ 0,05). No entanto, o DUP parece ser mais eficaz para aumentar a capacidade funcional. Na prática, o profissional pode usar tanto o LP quanto o DUP para melhorar o nível de condicionamento físico nos estágios iniciais do treinamento nessa população. Porém, quando o objetivo da programação é aumentar a capacidade funcional, o DUP pode ser priorizado.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate how the assessment process based on the use of digital games in chemistry teaching is being conducted, based on the analysis of academic production published in electronic databases. For this, data collection took place through a Systematic Literature Review, developed between the period from 2011 to 2021 in the SCOPUS, Web of Science, ACS Publications and Portal de Periódicos CAPES databases. 49 articles were collected and the analysis was carried out from the perspective of content analysis. The results showed a greater frequency of works that sought to evaluate issues related to the operation of the game and left aside questions about the evaluation that could attest if there was any learning during the digital game.

RESUMEN: Este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar cómo se lleva a cabo el proceso de evaluación basado en el uso de juegos digitales en la enseñanza de la química, a partir del análisis de la producción académica publicada en bases de datos electrónicas. Para ello, la recolección de datos se realizó a través de una Revisión Sistemática de Literatura, desarrollada entre el período de 2011 a 2021 en las bases de datos SCOPUS, Web of Science, ACS Publications y Portal de Periódicos CAPES. Se recogieron 49 artículos y el análisis se realizó desde la perspectiva del análisis de contenido. Los resultados evidenciaron una mayor frecuencia de trabajos que buscaban evaluar cuestiones relacionadas con el funcionamiento del juego y dejaban de lado preguntas sobre la evaluación que pudieran atestiguar si hubo algún aprendizaje durante el juego digital.
