There are many types of cancer that can be prevented by avoiding certain risk factors.\u0000Objective: to describe the epidemiological behavior of patients with cancer diagnosis in Guantanamo province in 2019.\u0000Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in patients diagnosed with cancer in the province of Guantánamo, belonging to the country Cuba, during the year 2019. The universe was composed by the 1697 cases reported in that period. The variables age, sex, municipality and main location of the cancer were studied. The primary source of data was the Health Statistical Yearbook of Guantánamo Province.\u0000Results: it was observed that the age group older than 60 years had the highest incidence, with 1176 patients, which represents 69,29 %. The male sex was the most representative, with 870 patients, equivalent to 51,26 %. Prostate cancer was the most prevalent cancer in the male population, with 220 patients, representing 25,28 %.\u0000Conclusions: cancer is an important health problem for the Guantanamo population, especially in the age group over 60 years old. Male sex has a higher incidence, and prostate, breast and skin cancer are the most frequent in the population studied.","PeriodicalId":388306,"journal":{"name":"Data & Metadata","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128489169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is non-invasive, accessible, harmless, and inexpensive, allowing renal perfusion to be evaluated at the bedside of patients through ultrasound measurements such as the renal resistance index (RRI) and intrarenal venous Doppler (IVD), which are considered early predictors of acute kidney injury (AKI).\u0000Objetivos: To determine the relationship between the renal resistance index (RRI) and the degree of AKI according to KDIGO in neurocritical patients, and to correlate intrarenal venous Doppler (IVD) flow abnormalities with the degree of AKI according to KDIGO.\u0000Métodos: An observational, analytical, prospective, and longitudinal study was conducted in a neurocritical patient ICU with 43 participants. RRI and IVD measurements were performed at admission, 72 hours, and 7 days. The study evaluated which parameter better predicts AKI according to KDIGO.\u0000Resultados: In the study of 43 critically ill patients, the correlation results between RRI value and AKI according to KDIGO were not significant. On the other hand, the correlation between intrarenal venous Doppler (IVD) at admission, 72 hours, and 7 days with AKI according to KDIGO was significant with a value of r: 43=0.95 (P=0.54); 0.49 (P=0.001); 0.58(P=0.000). Analyzing by classification tree, it was determined that the variables that best predict the risk of developing AKI before it occurs are intrarenal venous Doppler (IVD) measurement at 7 days and the cumulative fluid balance value.\u0000Conclusiones: There is a positive and significant correlation between intrarenal venous Doppler (IVD) and AKI. Intrarenal venous Doppler (IVD) and cumulative fluid balance predict the risk of developing AKI in critically ill patients. On the other hand, renal resistance index was not related to AKI in the studied population.","PeriodicalId":388306,"journal":{"name":"Data & Metadata","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134437827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, despite an increase in the number of articles published, citations decreased. The theoretical cost of an article and a bibliographic citation can be presented. For example, in 2021, the cost of publishing an article was $41,014.09 USD, and the cost of a citation was $9,442.77 USD.\u0000Conclusions: The budgetary expenses of a governmental institution with thousands of workers cannot be minimized to simple final products such as articles when considering other costs such as salaries, awareness campaigns, building construction and maintenance expenses, or even non-scientific expenses such as water bills for an institute.

Data science careers focus on collecting, organizing, and analyzing data to identify patterns and trends, which allows organizations to make informed decisions and develop effective solutions.\u0000Aim: to analyze the thematic specialization of institutions with academic programs in the area of data science.\u0000Methods: The Scopus database was used to conduct a bibliometric analysis aimed at examining the thematic specialization of institutions with academic programs in the field of data science. SciVal, a bibliometric analysis tool, was employed to extract the relevant data. The study period ranged from 2012 to 2021.\u0000Results: Nine higher education institutions were found to offer undergraduate or graduate degrees in the field of data science. There was no correlation found between RSI and Field-Weighted Citation Impact (r=0.05355; P=0.8912; 95% CI: -0.6331 to 0.6930). Therefore, it cannot be claimed that specialization in the subject area studied influences the greater impact of research. On the other hand, recent accreditation did not influence greater specialization (r=0.1675; P=0.6667; 95% CI: -0.5588 to 0.7484). Additionally, no differences were found regarding academic level.\u0000Conclusions: The analysis of the thematic specialization of institutions with academic programs in the field of data science shows low scientific production in this field.

It was found that more than 50% of the articles are open access, and it is suggested to encourage publication in open access journals without embargo periods. The most representative thematic areas are related to the institution's social objective, with Medicine, Immunology and Microbiology, and Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology being the most prominent.
