    Abstract El objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer prevalencia de la Enfermedad de Chagas en las comunidades Wiwa de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta trascendiendo el modelo de investigación biomédica sustentado en el paradigma positivista, e involucrando la dimensión sociocultural y ambiental que caracteriza este fenómeno, desde la sostenibilidad como un nuevo paradigma de las ciencias. Se realizó un muestreo probabilístico de las 15 comunidades Wiwa asentadas en la zona de San Juan del César, Departamento de la Guajira, se realizaron los procedimientos biomédicos definidos para investigaciones epidemiológicas, paralelamente se realizaron procedimientos culturales desde el saber tradicional de las comunidades Wiwa, garantizando la armonía de las comunidades ante la agresión biomédica de su espacio ambiental, social y cultural. Se obtuvo una prevalencia de 33.5%, concordante con las cifras de Enfermedad de Chagas encontradas en las otras vertientes de la sierra, reflejando condiciones similares que predisponen a la presencia de la enfermedad. Se estableció como esta enfermedad es inexistente en el sistema médico tradicional de los Wiwa, y sólo el insecto vector es reconocido aunque no considerado como agente perturbador de la salud de las comunidades. A partir de la consideración del vector como eje integrador de las dos culturas se describen las características sociales, ambientales y culturales que definen la Enfermedad de Chagas en los Wiwa y de esta forma, la posibilidad de su comprensión y manejo desde factores complementarios al modelo biomédico. The goal of this research was to establish Chagas Disease prevalence in Wiwa communities of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, beyond biomedical research model supported in positivist paradigm, towards sustainability as a new paradigm of science, by which this phenomenon has a social, cultural and environmental dimensions. A probabilistic sample was made it in 15 Wiwa communities placed in San Juan del Cesar area, La Guajira. Biomedical procedures defined from epidemiological ...

    Abstract Transformative learning occurs when a person, group, or larger social unit encounters ideas that are at odds with their prevailing perspective. This discrepant perspective can lead to an examination of previously held beliefs, values, and assumptions. The Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA) has since 2011 been training and supporting faculty from different African universities, to become more reflective and productive researchers, research leaders, educators, and change agents who will drive institutional changes in their institutions. As part of a mid-term evaluation of CARTA, an open-ended question was posed to the CARTA fellows asking them to describe any changes they had experienced in their professional lives as a result of the CARTA Programme. The 135 responses were inductively coded and analysed using qualitative thematic analysis. These themes were subsequently mapped onto Hoggan's typology of transformative learning outcomes. CARTA fellows reported shifts in their sense of self; worldviews; beliefs about the definition of knowledge, how it is constructed and evaluated; and changes in behaviour/practices and capacities. This paper argues that the changes described by the CARTA fellows reflect transformative learning that is embedded in CARTA's Theory of Change. The reported transformation was enabled by a curriculum intentionally designed to facilitate critical reflection, further exploration, and questioning, both formally and informally during the fellows' PhD journey with the support of CARTA facilitators. Documenting and disseminating these lessons provide a guide for future practice, and educators wishing to revitalise their PhD training may find it useful to review the CARTA PhD curriculum.

    Abstract This Personal View about the current level of surgical teaching at medical school is based on my personal experiences as a graduate-entry medical student. My unique perspective as an older student, who has a clearer idea of their desired career pathway, shows some of the areas in which medical education could change to inspire more surgeons. In particular, I emphasise the importance of introducing the practical element of surgery early on in one's medical career as this is often one of the most attractive features of the career.

    Abstract Metastatic melanoma is a highly immunogenic tumor with very poor survival rates due to immune system escape-mechanisms. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) and the programmed death-1 (PD1) receptors, are being used to impede immune evasion. This immunotherapy entails an increment in the overall survival rates. However, melanoma cells respond with evasive molecular mechanisms. ERK cascade inhibitors are also used in metastatic melanoma treatment, with the RAF activity blockade being the main therapeutic approach for such purpose, and in combination with MEK inhibitors improves many parameters of clinical efficacy. Despite their efficacy in inhibiting ERK signaling, the rewiring of the melanoma cell-signaling results in disease relapse, constituting the reinstatement of ERK activation, which is a common cause of some resistance mechanisms. Recent studies revealed that the combination of RAS-ERK pathway inhibitors and ICI therapy present promising advantages for metastatic melanoma treatment. Here, we present a recompilation of the combined therapies clinically evaluated in patients.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to compare the geographic coverage, citation impact, subject trends and authorship collaboration pattern of African health science journals indexed in international and regional databases.Methods: Data was collected from Ulrichs web serials directory, Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, PubMed, Google scholar, African Index Medicus (AIM) and African Journals Online (AJOL) between February 2023 and May 2023. Data was analysed using summary descriptive statistics such as percentages and interquartile ranges, and through network visualisation.Results: More than 40 African countries had no any health science journal indexed in WoS, whereas 20 African countries did not have any health science journal indexed in AJOL and AIM. The Journal of Advanced research was the top performing journal on almost all journal metric lists such as Google scholar’s H5-Index, SNIP, Journal Impact Factor, and Citescore, except Journal Citation indicator.Conclusion: The coverage of African health science journals by international citation databases is still limited which result in low scientific impact of many African health science journals. Authorship collaboration is related to historical ties among countries.
