Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop an initial valid tool to measure attitudes toward cancer-related cognitive changes. SUBJECTS AND METHODS After revising the literature, three main dimensions were hypothesized. Eight judges were contacted to obtain content validity evidence. A robust Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed via a parallel analysis with an Unweighted Least Squares (ULS) estimator and polychoric correlations. The results were crossed with sociodemographic variables to find possible statistical differences and estimate the size effect. Analysis was performed in the software Factor and the statistical package R. RESULTS A sample of 374 participants was obtained, involving oncology patients, their caregivers, and people from the general community. A statistical fit was found in two dimensions: Awareness and Judgments [root mean squared error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.042, standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.02, comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.99, Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) = 0.98] with a moderate correlation between them (r = 0.612). Optimal reliability indices were obtained for the total scale and its dimensions. No real statistical difference was found between sociodemographic variables; the interpretation norms were established via the quartiles. CONCLUSIONS The first attempt to measure the construct of interest was developed with two primary validity evidence based on the content and its internal structure. This instrument could help strengthen the prevention of cancer-related cognitive changes. More research is needed to adhere more valid evidence to the scale.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma is one of the most common non-communicable diseases globally. This study aimed to assess asthma medicine use, management plan availability, and disease control in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood across different country settings. METHODS We used data from the Global Asthma Network Phase I cross-sectional epidemiological study (2015-20). A validated, written questionnaire was distributed via schools to three age groups (children, 6-7 years; adolescents, 13-14 years; and adults, ≥19 years). Eligible adults were the parents or guardians of children and adolescents included in the surveys. In individuals with asthma diagnosed by a doctor, we collated responses on past-year asthma medicines use (type of inhaled or oral medicine, and frequency of use). Questions on asthma symptoms and health visits were used to define past-year symptom severity and extent of asthma control. Income categories for countries based on gross national income per capita followed the 2020 World Bank classification. Proportions (and 95% CI clustered by centre) were used to describe results. Generalised structural equation multilevel models were used to assess factors associated with receiving medicines and having poorly controlled asthma in each age group. FINDINGS Overall, 453 473 individuals from 63 centres in 25 countries were included, comprising 101 777 children (6445 [6·3%] with asthma diagnosed by a doctor), 157 784 adolescents (12 532 [7·9%]), and 193 912 adults (6677 [3·4%]). Use of asthma medicines varied by symptom severity and country income category. The most used medicines in the previous year were inhaled short-acting β2 agonists (SABA; range across age groups, 29·3-85·3% participants) and inhaled corticosteroids (12·6-51·9%). The proportion of individuals with severe asthma symptoms not taking inhaled corticosteroids (inhaled corticosteroids alone or with long-acting β2 agonists) was high in all age groups (934 [44·8%] of 2085 children, 2011 [60·1%] of 3345 adolescents, and 1142 [55·5%] of 2058 adults), and was significantly higher in middle-to-low-income countries. Oral SABA and theophylline were used across age groups and country income categories, contrary to current guidelines. Asthma management plans were used by 4049 (62·8%) children, 6694 (53·4%) adolescents, and 3168 (47·4%) adults; and 2840 (44·1%) children, 6942 (55·4%) adolescents, and 4081 (61·1%) adults had well controlled asthma. Independently of country income and asthma severity, having an asthma management plan was significantly associated with the use of any type of inhaled medicine (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2·75 [95% CI 2·40-3·15] for children; 2·45 [2·25-2·67] for adolescents; and 2·75 [2·38-3·16] for adults) or any type of oral medicine (1·86 [1·63-2·12] for children; 1·53 [1·40-1·68] for adolescents; and 1·78 [1·55-2·04] for adults). Poor asthma control was associated with low country income (lower-middle-income and low-income countries vs high-income countries, adjusted OR 2·33 [95% CI 1·32-4·14] for children; 3·46 [1·83-6·54] for adolescents; and 4·86 [2·55-9·26] for adults). INTERPRETATION Asthma management and control is frequently inadequate, particularly in low-resource settings. Strategies should be implemented to improve adherence to asthma treatment guidelines worldwide, with emphasis on access to affordable and quality-assured essential asthma medicines especially in low-income and middle-income countries.

Abstract
Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is an important cause of pneumonia mortality in young children. However, clinical data for fatal RSV infection are scarce. We aimed to identify clinical and socioeconomic characteristics of children aged younger than 5 years with RSV-related mortality using individual patient data. Methods In this retrospective case series, we developed an online questionnaire to obtain individual patient data for clinical and socioeconomic characteristics of children aged younger than 5 years who died with community-acquired RSV infection between Jan 1, 1995, and Oct 31, 2015, through leading research groups for child pneumonia identified through a comprehensive literature search and existing research networks. For the literature search, we searched PubMed for articles published up to Feb 3, 2015, using the key terms “RSV”, “respiratory syncytial virus”, or “respiratory syncytial viral” combined with “mortality”, “fatality”, “death”, “died”, “deaths”, or “CFR” for articles published in English. We invited researchers and clinicians identified to participate between Nov 1, 2014, and Oct 31, 2015. We calculated descriptive statistics for all variables. Findings We studied 358 children with RSV-related in-hospital death from 23 countries across the world, with data contributed from 31 research groups. 117 (33%) children were from low-income or lower middle-income countries, 77 (22%) were from upper middle-income countries, and 164 (46%) were from high-income countries. 190 (53%) were male. Data for comorbidities were missing for some children in low-income and middle-income countries. Available data showed that comorbidities were present in at least 33 (28%) children from low-income or lower middle-income countries, 36 (47%) from upper middle-income countries, and 114 (70%) from high-income countries. Median age for RSV-related deaths was 5·0 months (IQR 2·3–11·0) in low-income or lower middle-income countries, 4·0 years (2·0–10·0) in upper middle-income countries, and 7·0 years (3·6–16·8) in high-income countries. Interpretation This study is the first large case series of children who died with community-acquired RSV infection. A substantial proportion of children with RSV-related death had comorbidities. Our results show that perinatal immunisation strategies for children aged younger than 6 months could have a substantial impact on RSV-related child mortality in low-income and middle-income countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study is to analyse the factors associated with mortality and the capacity to perform daily life activities (DLA) in patients with surgically treated proximal humeral fractures. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 94 patients with a surgically treated proximal humeral fracture, with a mean follow-up of 8 years (2 - 12 years). A correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the type of fracture, surgical technique, comorbidities and mortality and DLA. The Student t test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS A total of 72 patients were identified, 18.6% of them died during follow-up, all diagnosed with some comorbidity. There was no correlation between mortality, type of fracture or the technique used. Most of the patients (85.4%) had comorbidities, and 79.5% were completely independent for DLA. Although there was no relationship with the type of fracture, there was a significant reduction in the performing of DLA in patients treated with hemiarthroplasty, and in patients with neurological disorders. CONCLUSIONS There was a mortality of 18.6% among patients with surgically treated proximal humerus fractures. The majority of surgically treated patients were fully independent for DLA at long-term follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To effectively locate the drugs most implicated in severe interactions as a basis of designing actions to improve patient safety in Primary Care. DESIGN Cross-sectional study of prescriptions using the Primary Care computerised medical records database (OMI-PC). SETTING Murcia (Spain) Health Areas I, VI, VII and IX (723,664 inhabitants). PARTICIPANTS There are 362,271 patients over 14 years-old available in the OMI-PC and are assigned to a doctor who uses the OMI-PC regularly. MAIN MEASUREMENTS We analysed the drugs that each patient could be taking, looking for severe interactions. We constructed a severe interaction hazard scale (e-PIG) calculating [1] the probability that a non-selected patient may be taking a particular drug and [2] the probability that a drug may produce a severe interaction. With this, we estimated the risk of producing a severe interaction for each drug, which was converted into a 5 point logarithmic scale. RESULTS We found 83,138 patients (22.9%) at risk (they took 2 or more drugs). We identified 466,940 prescriptions providing 939 drugs and 5,597 severe interactions (prevalence 5.8%). In these, 167 drugs were involved, of which e-PIG identified 5 (3%) with an extreme value: omeprazole, diazepam, acenocoumarol, ibuprofen and calcium. CONCLUSIONS e-PIG is a logarithmic expression of the risk that prescribing a particular drug may produce a severe interaction in a determined setting and time. Its monitoring could become a prioritisation element that may assist the design of strategies for improving the safety of the use of drugs.

INTRODUCTION Chickenpox is a worldwide disease with high morbidity but few complications, although complications can be sevre in immunocompromised individuals and healthy adults. The annual chickenpox rate declared to the National Notification Disease Surveillance System is approximately 5 cases per 1,000 inhabitants in Extremadura (Spain). The aim of this study was to identify and describe the characteristics and cost of an epidemic outbreak of chickenpox in Extremadura. METHODS Between November 2000 and March 2001, a descriptive study was performed. Cases of chickenpox were actively sought in a cohort of schoolchildren in Herrera del Duque (Badajoz). The protocols of the Monitoring Network of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura was used for case definition. Microbiological confirmation was performed by isolation of the virus and the presence of IgM and IgG markers in serum. We analyzed the direct and indirect tangible costs as well as the intangible costs of the outbreak. RESULTS Seventy-five cases were identified, of which 94.7% occurred in children aged between 1-9 years, mainly boys. The attack rate was 18.5 cases per 1,000 inhabitants and 68.2% occurred in children aged less than 10 years charing a home. The clinical course was benign, without hospital admissions or complications. A total of 71.6% of children aged between 3 and 8 years were susceptible. A possible temporary aggregation of cases in the school was analyzed and a relative risk of 5.01 (p < 0.0001) was obtained. The virus was isolated in the 4 vesicle samples studied and serology was positive (IgM) in the 9 serum samples studied. The total cost of the outbreak was of 927,21 e, with a mean of 12,53 e per case and 205 school days lost. CONCLUSION A chickenpox outbreack was confirmed in Herrera del Duque, with person-to-person transmission, affecting children aged between 1 and 9 years. The high susceptibility of the pupils, the characteristics of teaching, and the meetings prior to the carnivals played a determining role in the transmission of the epidemic. The estimated cost of this outbreak was 76% less than the cost that would have been generated by single-dose vaccination of the 75 individuals who contracted the disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In AIDS patients the endocrine system is often affected. Diabetes insipidus (DI) is uncommon and has been related to drugs and infections of the central nervous system (toxoplasmosis, cryptococcic meningitis, cytomegalovirus encephalitis). In these patients at the time of diagnosis, imaging investigations are often normal. CLINICAL CASE We report the case of a 40 year old man with infection category HIV C3 (CD4 < 50 mm3 and viral load 301,258 copies/ml), not on antiretroviral treatment at the time of hospital admission. He had polyuria (8-10 litres/day) and polydipsia for the previous 15 days, with no other symptoms. The dehydration test showed central DI (raised osmolarity following subcutaneous desmopresin). On MNR there were bilateral periventricular nodular images, also present in both caudate nuclei, with ring increased uptake following administration of paramagnetic contrast. On the clinical suspicion of cerebral toxoplasmosis empirical treatment was started with sulphadiazine and pyrimethamine together with nasal DDAVP, obtaining a good clinical response. CONCLUSIONS In patients with HIV infection, DI, although uncommon, may be the first sign of cerebral toxoplasmosis. Imaging studies may be pathological and assist diagnosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Despite the magnitude of the Colombian health system reform, introduced in 1993, changes in specialized medical practice have not been evaluated. This paper is the follow-up of a similar study on the practice of neurology done by the authors before the reform. MATERIAL AND METHODS Of the 62 members of the Colombian Association of Neurology living in Bogotá, 47 (76%) of them responded an anonymous survey inquiring on the characteristics of their medical practice and registering all the medical encounters during one week in October 1998. RESULTS Two thirds of the total working time is devoted by neurologists to clinical work. Half of the neurologists in the sample have invested in diagnostic equipment. There was no significant change in the total number of patients attended during the week, as compared with the 1993 study, and the diagnostic profile was similar. The proportion of private patients was significantly lower, while patients from prepaid medical schemes increased. Patients belonging to the Obligatory Health Plan, designed to cover lowest income population, and to prepaid medicine are not distributed homogeneously throughout all ages. The first year of life is particularly uncovered by the Obligatory Health Plan, while prepaid schemes do not address the problems of individuals age 60 or more. CONCLUSIONS There has been a significant reduction in private practice compensated by an increase in prepaid medicine. There is no evidence of increased coverage for neurological disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Several clinical trials have demonstrated that antithrombotic treatment may be effective in prevention of stroke in nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to assess if we follow clinical trial recommendations in community practice. METHODS We analyzed 225 medical records of patients diagnosed of nonrheumatic AF in Cáceres, during February and March 1998. Patients who were contraindicated to follow antiagreggation or anti-coagulation treatment were excluded. We compared patients with and without antithrombotic treatment with different demographic characteristics and embolic risk factors. RESULTS 205 patients were included in the study, 149 (72.6%) had high embolic risk. 62 (30.2%) followed anticoagulation, 94 (45.8%) antiaggregation treatment, 5 (2.4%) both treatment and 49 (24%) were not receiving therapy. We didn't findings differences between age, sex, presence of ischemic heart disease, hypertension and congestive heart failure in last three months compared with the patients in respect to the group of patients with anticoagulation and antiaggregation therapy or without it. We determinate as well that previous stroke and echocardiographical finds (valve disease, valve calcification, ventricular dysfunction) were more frequent in the anticoagulation and antiaggregate patients than in those without therapy. CONCLUSION A high range of nonrheumatic AF patients take any kind of antithrombotic preventive therapy, though a great number of patients with high embolic risk could still get benefits from anticoagulation therapy. We should considerate in the therapy assessment some other clinical characteristics as hypertension, isquemic heart disease and heart failure apart from echocardiographical findings.

Abstract
Motor-neuron disease, in particular its commonest form (lateral amyotrophic sclerosis) is a degenerative disease of unknown aetiology and inexorable course with an estimated incidence of 0.4-1.8 per 100,000 inhabitants. In recent years great efforts have been made to discover the aetiopathogenesis of this disorder, studying genetic, viral, endocrine, toxic factors, etc. We present the case of a 30 year old man who started to develop a clinical condition compatible with motor-neuron disease 18 months after diagnosis of HIV. An extensive differential diagnosis was considered in view of this past history. Complementary tests considered necessary for diagnosis of motor-neurone disease and for exclusion of other neurological conditions related to HIV were done. After 16 months of follow-up the condition has become a clear case of ELA type motor neurone disease with no further HIV-related pathology. We discuss questions concerning the aetiopathology of the disease, based on the currently accepted viral hypothesis and describe recent findings related to both.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the hypothesis that the release of vasoactive neuropeptides may be related to the hemodynamic changes and severity of disease in human sepsis and septic shock. Twenty-two patients diagnosed with sepsis and treated in medical wards with standard supportive therapy and twenty patients admitted to a medical intensive care unit because of septic shock were studied Twenty healthy volunteers in a similar age range were enrolled as control group. Blood samples were taken at onset and every 12 hours on the following day after hospital admission to measure plasma concentrations of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and substance P (SP). Clinical and biochemical variables were measured simultaneously. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score was calculated on admission. From the day of admission, septic shock patients had significantly higher plasma CGRP-like immunoreactivity levels than patients with sepsis, as well as both groups of patients compared to control subjects. Plasma NPY-like immunoreactivity levels in patients with either sepsis or septic shock was significantly increased, and plasma SP-like immunoreactivity levels significantly reduced compared to those in controls. Plasma CGRP levels at study entry correlated with the APACHE II score (r = 0.71, p < 0.01), as well as with the cardiac index (r = 0.61, p < 0.05) and systemic vascular resistance index (r = -0.62, p < 0.05). Our data suggest that both CGRP and NPY, but not SP, are increasedly released into the circulation during the development of human sepsis and septic shock. In patients with sepsis the vasoconstriction mediated by the release of NPY appears to counterbalance the vasodilatory effect of CGRP. In septic shock patients, however, the release of NPY might be inadequately low to overcome the widespread CGRP-induced vasodilation.

Abstract
FOUNDATION We assessed the effectivity of the treatment with interferon (IFN) in patients infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with chronic hepatitis (CH) by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). METHODS We studied 14 heterosexual males ex-parenterally drug consumers (PDC) and infected by the HIV (mean age 26 +/- 4.2 years), belonging to group A of CDC (1993); 10 had values of CD4 > 500 mmc and 4, between 200 and 500, the latter receiving treatment with zidovudine. In all these patients, the diagnosis of active chronic hepatitis was confirmed through histology. Three MUI of IFN-alpha 2b, 3 days/week during 24 weeks were administered. Sustained response to treatment was considered as the normalization of the aminotransferase levels until the end of the study; partial response, as the 50% decrease in the initial levels until the end of the treatment; relapse, as the response and latter increase in 1.5 of the ALT values at the end of the 24 weeks; and absence of response, as the lack of significant changes in the aminotransferase concentrations. RESULTS Tolerance of the treatment was good, without severe side effects and just in one case, the medication had to be interrupted. In 5 patients, there was a response (all of them with more than 500 CD4). In 2 of these patients, the response was partial. In 3, there was a relapse and 3 other patients did not show any response (CD4 > 500). Three patients gave up the treatment. CONCLUSIONS IFN-alpha 2b is well tolerated in a 24-week treatment in patients with HIV, CH and HCV. However, it was only effective for the control of this disease in patients with HIV infection with more than 500 lymphocytes CD4, without any significant effect in the evolution of the HIV infection.
