Impact of Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation in the control of type I diabetes in adults in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area

Abstract

Introduction: The measures taken by the Argentine government to avoid contagion of the SARS-CoV-2 virus consisted in what was called Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation (Aislamiento Social Preventivo y Obligatorio, ASPO), which was established on March 20th of 2020. The disposition restricted medical checkups and physical activity for several months and modified the population’s eating habits. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a high incidence and prevalence pathology worldwide. While the majority of the patients suffer from DM II, the percentage of DM I and its peculiarities make worth an analysis regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Assessing the impact of ASPO on the metabolic control of patients who live in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) during the period March-December 2020. Results: Of the 45 subjects involved in the study, 42.2 % saw an increase in their HbA1c level, did not know the value, or did not get tested. This is a situation of clinical interest for a more exhaustive follow-up. In addition, 60 % of the total gained weight and 38 % decreased the frequency of physical activity, while 35 % did not perform any activity at all. Furthermore, 73.3 % reported having experienced anxiety, 64.4 % apathy, and 60 %, sadness. Conclusion: The impossibility of carrying out ordinary activities, the suspension or reduction of frequency of physical exercise, and the increase and modification of the quality of meals with the resulting weight gain had an impact on the rising of HbA1c levels during the Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation.

Machine learning for the improvement of adaptive learning in university education

“…(40) También se menciona el uso de minería de datos como técnica y redes neuronales en sistemas de tutoría inteligente para brindar orientación e instrucción adaptativas a los estudiantes. (41) Estos hallazgos resaltan la utilidad del machine learning en identificar y abordar problemas de aprendizaje de manera temprana. En la categoría de mejora en la gestión educativa, se encontró que el gobierno estatal tiene un impacto significativo en el rendimiento académico, mientras que el gobierno no estatal está relacionado con niveles más altos de rendimiento.…”

Fecal microbiota and Clostridium transplantation: Strategies for intestinal balance

“…This approach could have significant implications in clinical practice by early identification of patients who will respond favorably to FMT. (32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44) Regarding methodological limitations and errors, it is important to recognize that most of the studies included in this review are observational and that the quality of evidence could be improved with high-quality randomized clinical trials. In addition, more rigorous standardization of FMT protocols is needed to ensure comparability of results across studies.…”

Electronic medical record and its impact on health care and management. A systematic review between the years 2013 – 2023

“…Finally, 45,45 % of the reviews indicated aspects of clinical management such as the availability of information on the patient's status immediately through the electronic medical history record. (33,34,35,36) In addition to the management of food to the nutrition service in the cases of hospitalized users and the follow-up and compliance with the clinical tasks indicated by the attending physician on a day-to-day basis to the multidisciplinary health team such as students in training. (37,38,39,40,41) https://doi.org/10.56294/sctconf2023455…”

“…Similarly, Wali et al (2020) (61) state that improving the doctor-patient relationship using the electronic health record improves the quality of services and the user saves time for other activities. Finally, for Tran et al ( 2020), (26) the implementation of a medical record application is feasible, acceptable and viable for the collection of user data, as it is a reliable tool and, above all, easier to use than traditional paper, maintaining the confidentiality of the patient's data, even more so, giving them confidence in their treatment plan and Maia Chade et al ( 2019), (35) and Kim et al (2020) (36) indicate that the work efficiency of medical interns and improving the workflow within clinical management. There is no doubt that the impact of the use of the EHR is beneficial for all the actors involved in the care and health management process.…”
