We analysed the quality of aesthetic medicine guidelines.Methods: A systematic review with a prospective registration protocol (https://osf.io/8pdyv) of databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, CDSR), web pages of scientific societies and grey literature was done from inception to February 2023 and without language restrictions. Quality was evaluated using AGREE II (% of the maximum score), RIGHT (% of the total 35 items) and a shared decision making (SDM) quality assessment tool (31 items score) individually and in duplicate, respectively.Results: Six (86%) guidelines were classified as not recommended; one (14%) was recommended with modifications, and all were classified as poorly reported (7/7; 100%). The median overall quality was 27% (IQR: 26-43) and 26% (IQR 15-36) for AGREE II and RIGHT, respectively. No document used these tools for its development. SDM appeared superfluity in almost all of the guidelines explored.Conclusions: Aesthetic medicine and surgical guidelines had low quality and must be improved. There is a wide range of improvement, especially in applicability, reporting of evidence, recommendations, conflict of interest, quality control and SDM. These guidelines require a rigorous methodology based on systematic reviews to ensure quality evidence-based recommendations.","PeriodicalId":50667,"journal":{"name":"Colombia Medica","volume":"55 2","pages":"e2016257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11637547/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142820059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The shapes of the transverse colon were analyzed using artificial intelligence.Methods: The study was conducted as a two- and three-dimensional examination of CT colonography images of people between 40 and 80 years old, which were obtained retrospectively. An artificial intelligence algorithm (YOLOv8) was used for shape detection on 3D colon images.Results: 160 people with a mean age of 89 men and 71 women included in the study were 57.79±8.55 and 56.55±6.60, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference (p= 0.24). The total colon length was 166.11±25.07 cm for men and 158.73±21.92 cm for women, with no significant difference between groups (p=0.12). As a result of the training of the model Precision, Recall, and Mean Average Precision (mAP) were found to be 0.8578, 0.7940, and 0.9142, respectively.Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of understanding the type and morphology of the large intestine for accurate interpretation of CT colonography results and effective clinical management of patients with suspected large intestine abnormalities. Furthermore, this study showed that 88.57% of the images in the test data set were detected correctly and that AI can play an important role in colon typing.","PeriodicalId":50667,"journal":{"name":"Colombia Medica","volume":"55 2","pages":"e2005944"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11573345/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142677510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paraaortic adipose tissue (PAT) is thought to be associated with many cardiac diseases and there is only one publication on its echocardiographic evaluation.Aims: To describe the possible relationship between fQRS and PAT.Methods: Patients presenting to the cardiology outpatient clinic were evaluated for inclusion in the study. Presence of additional R' wave or notching/splitting of S wave in two contiguous ECG leads was defined as fragmented QRS (fQRS) and patients were divided into two groups according to fQRS status on ECG. The hypoechoic space in front of the ascending aorta was considered as PAT in the parasternal long-axis view. The medical history and routine laboratory parameters of the participants were recorded.

Epidemiological studies in middle- and low-income countries suggest that internal migration processes may partly explain these disparities.Objective: To investigate the association between internal migration and asthma in children living in transitional areas of Ecuador.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from a birth cohort of children living in a tropical coastal region in northwestern Ecuador. Asthma indicators included wheezing in the past 12 months, ever wheezing, and asthma diagnosis by a doctor. Internal migration was defined as a change of residence between geographical units: cantonal, parish, and census tract. The relationship between asthma and migration was analyzed using binary logistic regression.Results: Of 2,404 participants, 1,818 children met the inclusion criteria. Among them, 2.8% experienced cantonal migration, 11.9% parish migration, and 24.6% census tract migration. The prevalence of wheezing in the past 12 months, ever wheezing, and asthma diagnosis by a doctor was 13.1%, 33.3%, and 7%, respectively. Children with a history of cantonal migration were more likely to have experienced wheezing compared to those who did not migrate (OR: 1.56; 95%CI: 0.87-2.79).Conclusions: Changes in residence between smaller or adjacent geographic units appeared not to be associated with asthma prevalence.

Clinical data and disease variables were recorded. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to evaluate the significance of different clinical features between the groups (p-value <0.05).Results: Of the 751 cases studied, most cases involving foreign bodies were treated outpatient and typically presented without complications, while 20.1% (n=151) were confirmed as complicated.

Additionally, 31.9% of participants were found to have malnutrition due to excess weight. Risk factors for intestinal parasite presence included age, overcrowding, and walking barefoot, while owning a refrigerator, having an animal corral, adequate water storage, and belonging to the Guaraní ethnic group were protective factors.
