    Abstract Background: Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are at greater risk of developing nosocomial infections due to their investigations, treatment and changes in the immune system. One of the most prevalent nosocomial infections is respiratory tract infection, such as hospital acquired pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The bacteria commonly found in the oral cavity in the hospital environment are
    Methodology: The sample consisted of 90 patients (of both sexes), mean age of 65 years, under mechanical ventilation by orotracheal tube and tracheostomized patients, without suspected or confirmed diagnosis of pneumonia. Patients were randomized ∗∗∗.
    Results: Results showed that oral hygiene using a toothbrush by suction, with chlorhexidine gel 0.12% (Group B), was more effective than conventional hygiene using gauze soaked with chlorhexidine 0.12% (Group A) in reducing pathogenic buccal microbiota.
    Conclusions: There was a reduction of the pathogenic buccal microbiota in mechanically ventilated patients receiving oral hygiene using a toothbrush by suction with chlorhexidine gel 0.12% (Group B).

    Abstract Hyaline cartilage's inability to self-repair can lead to osteoarthritis and joint replacement. Various treatments, including cell therapy, have been developed for cartilage damage. Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is considered the best option for focal chondral lesions. In this article, we aimed to create a narrative review that highlights the evolution and enhancement of our chondrocyte implantation technique: High-Density-ACI (HD-ACI) Membrane-assisted Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI) improved ACI using a collagen membrane as a carrier. However, low cell density in MACI resulted in softer regenerated tissue. HD-ACI was developed to improve MACI, implanting 5 million chondrocytes per cm

    Abstract The growing geriatric population presenting with coronary artery disease poses a primary challenge for healthcare services. This is a highly heterogeneous population, often underrepresented in studies and clinical trials, with distinctive characteristics that render them particularly vulnerable to standard management/approaches. In this review, we aim to summarize the available evidence on the treatment of acute coronary syndrome in the elderly. Additionally, we contextualize frailty, comorbidity, sarcopenia, and cognitive impairment, common in these patients, within the realm of coronary artery disease, proposing strategies for each case that may assist in therapeutic approaches.

    Abstract En el último año, la virtualidad ha tomado fuerza dentro del campo educativo desde sus diversas funcionalidades y, junto con su popularidad, se han detectado nuevas dificultades, sobre todo en la motivación en los estudiantes de las nuevas generaciones. Este estudio tiene el objetivo de analizar el impacto motivacional de la aplicación de mundos virtuales a través del software AltspaceVR en el proceso de comprensión lectora de leyendas, al transformar una clase sincrónica de octavo de EGB en una experiencia inmersiva en un mundo educativo virtual. Para ello, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica que fundamenta la aplicación de simuladores de la realidad y su relación con el nivel de motivación en niños y niñas. Además, se diseñó y desarrolló una clase en el área de Lengua en un mundo virtual, se desarrolló un estudio etnográfico a fin de cotejar los cambios en el nivel de interés que presentan los estudiantes frente a una clase normal en una plataforma de video conferencia y en una clase desarrollada a través de un mundo virtual utilizando la plataforma AltspaceVR. Los principales resultados encontrados evidencian cambios en las emociones de los estudiantes en motivación, diversión y alegría.

    Abstract Corneal astigmatism correction is a key factor when planning refractive treatment for ametropies with intraocular lenses. We aim to obtain normative anterior and posterior corneal astigmatism (ACA and PCA, respectively) data in a local population and to describe their axis distribution and their association with other parameters. A total of 795 patients with no ocular diseases were evaluated with corneal tomography and optical biometry. Only data of the right eye were included. Mean ACA and PCA were 1.01 ± 0.79 and 0.34 ± 0.17 D, respectively. Vertical steep axis distribution was 73.5% for ACA and 93.3% for PCA. Axis orientation between ACA and PCA matched best for vertical orientation (especially 90° to 120°). Vertical ACA orientation frequency decreased with age, with a more positive sphere and less ACA. Vertical PCA orientation frequency increased with higher PCA. Eyes with vertical ACA orientation were younger and showed a greater white-to-white (WTW) measurement, anterior corneal elevations, ACA and PCA. Eyes with vertical PCA orientation were younger and showed greater anterior corneal elevations and PCA. Normative ACA and PCA data in a Spanish population were presented. Steep axis orientations presented differences with age, WTW, anterior corneal elevations and astigmatism.

    Abstract Purpose: To propose a classification of the glistening in intraocular lenses (IOL) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) by means of a simple, objective and reproducible method that allows the quantification of the presence and severity of glistening.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study on a sample of 150 eyes of 150 patients who underwent cataract surgery in at least 600 days before the exam and attended a routine examination. Each subject was examined by SS-OCT after pupil dilation, identifying the presence of glistening or hyperreflective foci (HRF) in the central area of the IOL. The degree of glistening was classified into four categories: 0: ≤5 HRF; 1: 6 to 15 HRF; 2: 16 to 30 HRF; and 3: >30 HRF. The intra and interobserver reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC) in the quantification and classification of the glistening were calculated. The correlation between the horizontal and vertical scan of the IOL was also assessed.
    Results: Glistening was present in the IOL in 42.7% of the patients. The mean number of HRF or glistening microvacuoles was 10.4 ± 26.2 (range 0 to 239). In total, 63.3% of the IOLs had a grade 0, 20% grade a 1, 6.7% grade a 2 and 10% a grade 3. The intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility were very high, both for the absolute quantification of the glistening (ICC ≥ 0.994) and for the severity scale (ICC ≥ 0.967). There was an excellent correlation in the quantification of the IOL glistening between the horizontal and vertical scans (R ≥ 0.834;
    Conclusions: The use of SS-OCT makes it possible to identify, quantify and classify IOL glistening in a simple, objective and reproducible way. This technique could provide relevant information for the study of the glistening on IOLs.
