abstract = {Introduction: Moodle is a learning information and communication technology widely used worldwide and has been little used to strengthen citizenship competencies. 



Objective: To improve citizenship competencies through a pedagogical strategy in the Moodle platform in students registered in the training courses of clinical/administrative physiotherapy practice at the University of Santander, Bucaramanga, Colombia. 



Methods: A pretest-posttest design was carried out. The educational intervention consisted of a pedagogical activity available online 24 hours a day in Moodle for ten weeks. A sample of 41 students completed a questionnaire before and after the educational intervention, which consisted of 25 questions distributed in five dimensions: political constitution, multi-perspective, systemic and reflective thinking, argumentation, and ethics. The total score per dimension ranged from 0 to 100. 



Results: The average knowledge score was 60.8 ± 12.9 in the pretest and 65.1 ± 15.4 in the posttest (p = 0.0665). After the educational intervention, there were positive changes in eight of the 25 questions (p \<0.005), three of which corresponded to the multi-perspective dimension. In the analysis by subgroups, it was found that those who obtained a score equal to or less than 60 in the initial evaluation significantly improved their knowledge [pretest = 51.6 (9.9), posttest = 60 (15.1), p-value = 0.018]. 



Conclusion: A educational intervention with Moodle increased the knowledge of some citizenship competencies among physiotherapy students, especially in the multi-perspective dimension.},

abstract = {Background: The knowledge of Honduran healthcare workers who deliver rehabilitation services can be enhanced by support from community-engaged academic collaborations outside the country.



Objective: This study aimed to evaluate reactions and learning linked to two continuing education workshops for rehabilitation workers in northern Honduras.



Method: A pre-test post-test study design was used. In September 2017, faculty from Canada and Colombia, together with health professionals from Honduras, facilitated two neurorehabilitation workshops - one in a rehabilitation centre and the other in a family support organisation located in northern Honduras. The participants were physiotherapists, physicians, nurses and educational professionals, as well as a psychologist, kinesiologist, and non-professionals trained onsite. Seventeen participants attended the ‘Acquired brain injury/spinal cord injury workshop’ (adult workshop), and 15 attended the ‘Rehabilitation for children with impaired neuromotor development workshop’ (paediatric workshop). They completed three questionnaires before the workshops: one on sociodemographic information; one related to knowledge; and, the Modified Stages of Learning Questionnaires (MSLQs). Three questionnaires were completed after the workshops: the Modified Kirkpatrick; a knowledge questionnaire; and, the MSLQ.



Results: Most of the participants agreed that the workshops had positive effects in two of the four Kirkpatrick levels that were evaluated: reaction and learning. In the MSLQs of the paediatric workshop, there was a statistically significant change in the percentage of participants who moved from scanning/evaluation stages in the pre-test to learning/gaining experience in the post-test, in three of the six topics. Three of the knowledge questions showed important learning effects.



Conclusion and Implications: Workshops offered through an international collaboration resulted in enhancing learning and knowledge of neurological rehabilitation workers in Honduras.  This initiative has the potential to improve the quality of care for people with neurological conditions in the region. Participants evaluated the workshops as relevant and held very positive attitudes about the perceived outcomes. The inclusion of local practitioners in planning the workshops and selecting the topics appeared to have aided their relevance. It is recommended that workshop planners take adequate time to ensure relevancy.},

abstract = {Introduction. The work of non-medical rehabilitators in Honduras is done in isolated groups that need connectivity. Collaboration and professional networking can help rehab workers with the overwhelming clinical demands they face. Objectives. 1) describe the initial participation in professional networks of rehabilitation therapists and support rehabilitation workers who attended the workshops, and 2) evaluate the indirect effect of continuing education workshops on professional networks among attendees. Methods. A prospective longitudinal study was carried out. Participants in five continuing education workshops on rehabilitation held between 2017 and 2019 in northern Honduras completed a questionnaire made up of the sociodemographic sections and participation in professional networks. Generalized Estimation Equations (EEG) were used to assess the effects of workshop attendance on professional network dimensions (dimensions of clinical support and opportunities for participation in professional networks) adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics and work-related variables. Results. 100 questionnaires filled out by 67 participants were analyzed. Forty-six participants attended a single workshop; 12 attended two and 9 attended three or more workshops. 34.3% worked as a rehabilitation therapist, 62.7% were other professionals, and 3% were rehabilitation assistants. Multivariate EEGs did not show any significant association between attendance at continuing education workshops and the dimensions of participation in professional networks. Rehabilitation therapists presented fewer opportunities to participate in networks than other health professionals. Conclusion. There was no evidence of an effect of workshop attendance on participation in professional networks. Future workshops should include objectives and strategies for developing professional networks.},

abstract = {BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 19 (covid-19) pandemic has underscored the need to expedite clinical research, which may lead investigators to shift away from measuring patient-important outcomes (PIO), limiting research applicability. We aim to investigate if randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of covid-19 pharmacological therapies include PIOs.



METHODS: We will perform a meta-epidemiological study of RCTs that included people at risk for, or with suspected, probable, or confirmed covid-19, examining any pharmacological treatment or blood product aimed at prophylaxis or treatment. We will obtain data from all RCTs identified in a living network metanalysis (NMA). The main data sources are the living WHO covid-19 database up to 1 March 2021 and six additional Chinese databases up to 20 February 2021. Two reviewers independently will review each citation, full-text article, and abstract data. To categorize the outcomes according to their importance to patients, we will adapt a previously defined hierarchy: a) mortality, b) quality of life/ functional status/symptoms, c) morbidity, and d) surrogate outcomes. Outcomes within the category a) and b) will be considered critically important to patients, and outcomes within the category c) will be regarded as important. We will use descriptive statistics to assess the proportion of studies that report each category of outcomes. We will perform univariable and multivariable analysis to explore associations between trial characteristics and the likelihood of reporting PIOs.



DISCUSSION: The findings from this meta-epidemiological study will help health care professionals and researchers understand if the current covid-19 trials are effectively assessing and reporting the outcomes that are important to patients. If a deficiency in capturing PIOs is identified, this information may help inform the development of future RCTs in covid-19.

In total, 193 patients (67% men, average age = 65 ± 12 years) completed the scale twice, with an average of eight days between applications. Cronbach’s Alpha and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated. The internal consistency of the Colombian version of the CRBS was acceptable (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.84). The ICC of the CRBS was 0.69 (95% CI 0.61\textendash0.76); 0.78 (95% CI 0.71\textendash0.84) when the CRBS was completed by interview; and 0.47 (95% CI 0.21\textendash0.67) when the CRBS was self-reported. The reliability of the interview version of the CRBS was substantial in the Colombian population; however, the reliability of the self-report version was lower. The use of this scale will allow developing strategies to increase participation and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation programs.},

abstract = {Background: Less than one-third of people with epilepsy will develop drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Establishing the prognosis of each unique epilepsy case is an important part of evaluation and treatment.Most studies on DRE prognosis have been based on a pooled, heterogeneous group, including children, adults, and older adults, in the absence of clear recognition and control of important confounders, such as age group. Furthermore, previous studies were done before the 2010 definition of DRE by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), so data based on the current definitions have not been entirely elucidated. This study aimed to explore the difference between 3 definitions of DRE and clinical predictors of DRE in adults and older adults.Methods: Patients with a new diagnosis of epilepsy ascertained at a Single Seizure Clinic (SSC) in Saskatchewan, Canada were included if they had at least 1 year of follow-up. The first study outcome was the diagnosis of DRE epilepsy at follow-up using the 2010 ILAE definition. This was compared with 2 alternative definitions of DRE by Kwan and Brodie and Camfield and Camfield. Finally, risk factors were analyzed using the ILAE definition.Results: In total, 95 patients with a new diagnosis of epilepsy and a median follow-up of 24 months were included. The median age of patients at the diagnosis of epilepsy was 33 years, and 51% were men. In the cohort, 32% of patients were diagnosed with DRE by the Kwan and Brodie definition, 10% by Camfield and Camfield definition, and 15% by the ILAE definition by the end of follow-up. The only statistically significant risk factor for DRE development was the failure to respond to the first anti-seizure medication (ASM).Conclusion: There were important differences in the percentage of patients diagnosed with DRE when using 3 concurrent definitions. However, the use of the ILAE definition appeared to be the most consistent through an extended follow-up. Finally, failure to respond to the first ASM was the sole significant risk factor for DRE in the cohort after considering the age group.},

Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs are effective in reducing morbidity due to coronary heart disease, promoting reintegration into the workplace, improving quality of life, and physical capacity, among others. Objective. To explore differences in the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) of those who participate or not in a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in a Hospital of Bucaramanga. Methodology. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 40 subjects who underwent coronary angioplasty between September 2014 and February 2015 in the Comuneros University Hospital of Bucaramanga, Colombia. Sociodemographic and clinical variables, and HRQL through the SF-36 survey instrument were gathered; all participants signed consent prior to their participation. Continuous variables were analyzed by measures of central tendency and dispersion; while the categorical variables were analyzed using frequencies. The two-sample Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare the HRQL by cardiac rehabilitation participation. Results. A better perception of quality of life is evident in those whom participated in a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program. The results were significantly different in the domains of physical functioning (Median: 80 Interquartile range [IQR] = 50-95 vs. 30 I QR = 15-65; p = 0.003), vitality (Median 60 IQR = 55-75 vs 30 IQR = 25-55; p = 0 .004), social function ( Median 9 0 I QR = 75-100 vs. 5 0 R IC = 37.5-100; p = 0 .009), and health transition (Median 50 IQR = 25-75 vs 25 RIC = 0-50; p = 0.035). Conclusions. The results obtained suggest that the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program can improve the HRQL in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty},

The aim of this study was to establish the effects of M-CR on functional capacity, quality of life, risk factors, costs, mortality, and morbidity, among other outcomes.

Methods: Scopus, ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Embase \& Embase classic OVID, and Lilacs were searched. Randomized controlled trials, published between 2000 and 2016, on the effects of M-CR in patients with cardiovascular disease, who had graduated from CR, having a control or comparison arm were included. Citations were processed by two authors, independently. Methodological quality was assessed using PEDro, and level of evidence graded with the Scottish scale. Outcomes were qualitatively synthesized.

Results: The searches retrieved 1901 studies with 26 articles meeting inclusion criteria (3752 participants). Some trials tested M-CR in nonclinical settings, and others used resistance or high-intensity interval training. The methodological quality of 11 articles was good, with a level of evidence (1+) and a grade B recommendation. Results showed M-CR resulted in increased or maintained functional capacity, quality of life, and physical activity levels, when compared with the control. No adverse events were reported. Few studies assessed rehospitalizations and mortality.

Conclusion: This review summarized the available evidence about the effects of maintenance cardiac rehabilitation (M-CR) on different outcomes. Results showed M-CR resulted in increased quality of life, functional capacity, and physical activity levels, when compared with the control.},

abstract = {Introduction: There is little evidence that details the behavior of each spatial-temporal variable of the running pattern using different surfaces.

Objective: To compare the spatial-temporal variables of the running pattern over two surfaces in adolescent soccer players. Method: A cross-sectional study involving 18 male soccer players was conducted (median [Me] age = 12 years; Interquartile range [IQR] 12-13). Speed, acceleration, contact time (Ct), flight time (Ft), contact phase, support phase, propulsion, stride, and cadence were evaluated through a 5-meter long optical measurement system. The assessments were initially carried out on Artificial Surface (AS) and, 24 hours later, on Natural Surface (NS). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test for paired data and the Spearman correlation coefficients were used.

Results: The support phase was greater in AS than NS (NS: Me = 0.05 IQR: 0.03; 0.06; AS: Me = 0.09 IQR 0.08; 0.10; p \<0.001). The Ft (NS: Me = 0.16 IQR: 0.14; 0.19; AS: Me = 0.04 IQR: 0.04; 0.05; p \<0.001), the contact phase (NS: Me = 0.02 IQR: 0.02; 0.03; AS: Me = 0.02 IQR: 0.01; 0.02; p = 0.040) and propulsion (NS: Me = 0.14 IQR: 0.09; 0.17; AS: Me = 0.07 IQR: 0.06; 0.09; p = \<0.001) were greater in NS than AS. An indirect relationship between speed and contact phase in NS was found. The Ft and the stride were indirectly associated with acceleration in AS.

Conclusion: The running pattern varies according to the surface used. The contact phase can explain the speed in the NS; while the Ft and the stride can explain the acceleration in AS.},

Methodology: A descriptive study was carried out in 24 pre youth players (Age 15.5 ± 0.5 years). Anthropometric measurements were made weight and height, the percentage of body weight was evaluated by the OMRON bioimpedancemeter. The VO2max was obtained by means of a field test (Course Navette test). Heart rate was assessed at the end of the test. Body mass index (BMI), and fat percentage (% F) were calculated.



Results: The average VO2max was 46.9 ± 3.6 ml / kg / min; according to the VO2max classification, 33.3% had a deficient aerobic power and 33.3% had regular. The heart rate at the end of the Course Navette test, on average, was 194.4 ± 7.3 bpm. In the exploratory analysis, it was found that both the BMI and the percentage of fat are significantly and inversely correlated with VO2max, this correlation being greater between the percentage of fat and VO2max (-0.73) than between BMI and VO2max ( - 0.49).



Conclusion: The high values ​​in BMI and %F in pre-youth soccer players are related to a low VO2max and consequently a low physical fitness. The results suggest that %F plays a relevant role in sports performance.},
