The Unified National Electronic Healthcare System (UNEHS) provided the database extraction. Individuals were considered eligible if they had been admitted to the hospital with the primary diagnoses of U07.1 (COVID-19, detected virus) and U07.2. Conclusion: In Almaty, Kazakhstan, hospitalization outcomes for coronavirus patients with and without chronic kidney disease were assessed in this study. Analysis was done on the impact of comorbidities and sociodemographic characteristics on mortality. While there are many ways to prevent and manage chronic kidney disease (CKD), coexisting medical diseases, particularly viruses that cause pandemics, might complicate matters. Thus, to prevent unplanned infectious disease outbreaks, a thorough disease management plan must be established","PeriodicalId":506303,"journal":{"name":"Salud, Ciencia y Tecnología","volume":" 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141831744","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}

They cause more than 3,000 admissions to specialized burn units in the United States. Up to 40% of serious electrical injuries are fatal, resulting in approximately 1000 deaths per year.Its incidence depends on the type of exposure to electricity: low voltage, due to contact with electrical cables or plugs. High voltage, due to occupational exposures and power lines while climbing trees or poles. These voltages are more likely to cause injuries to deep tissues and internal organs compared to low voltage injuries and also the degree of body surface area burned.Its approach constitutes a challenge, since the risks of visceral involvement are added to the morbidity and mortality inherent to the burn. Early treatment of intra-abdominal complications allows a more conservative approach, reducing ostomies and their associated comorbidity. It is preferable to manage the abdominal defect by preserving the tissues themselves and restoring the midline. In our case, it was feasible to perform a primary closure of the abdominal wall. Your treatment will depend on factors such as: the amount of tissue lost, intra-abdominal contamination, general condition, and factors such as: physical resources and experience of the hospital. Mortality from burns ranges between 3 and 55%, those with the highest risk of death are those at extreme ages, higher degrees of burns, injuries associated with inhalation, and injuries in patients with comorbidities.","PeriodicalId":506303,"journal":{"name":"Salud, Ciencia y Tecnología","volume":"111 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141834461","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}

For Indigenous Peoples across the world spiritual wellness is their way of life. In India we have many traditional and tribal communities that practice a holistic, nature-centric spiritual wellness. Towards learning more about Indigenous communities and their spiritual wellness conducted this exploratory study among the Irulas of the Nilgiris District in Tamil Nadu India. Being one of earlier settlers of the Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve, the Irulas have played an important role in the maintenance of the forests and environment of the Nilgiris.Methods: The study design is an ethnography qualitative study using In-depth interviews conducted using Dr. Kovach’s Conversation methodology for researching and documenting Indigenous Ontology. The Indigenous peoples are one of the Primitive Tribes of the Nilgiris District in Southern India known as the Irulas. The settlements that were accessed for the interview include villages in the eastern and western slopes of the Nilgiris. Results: Using basic qualitative analysis of coding and theme generation, data allowed to derive 4 themes about spiritual wellness namely: What is Spirituality, Importance of participation, Sustaining Practices and Conviction. There is a shift and adaptation to contemporary spiritual practices driven by lack of access to their forests and grasslands and also because of education and exposure of the younger generation.Conclusion: Development over time has resulted in changes in their natural environment as well as social environment leading to generational perception and practices of spirituality among women of the Irula tribes of the Nilgiris.","PeriodicalId":506303,"journal":{"name":"Salud, Ciencia y Tecnología","volume":"102 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141835118","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}
