Item Síndrome post covid-19, implicaciones funcionales y factores relacionados(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024-08-23) Daza Arana, Jorge Enrique; Varela Miranda, Rubén EduardoCOVID-19 is a viral infection that has generated a high burden of morbidity and mortality during the pandemic worldwide, becoming a disabling disease in the population that persists with symptoms after 12 weeks of SARS-CoV infection. 2 and that no alternative diagnosis is attributed. The functional implications of Post COVID-19 Syndrome include the domains of functional impairment, fatigue, quality of life, mental and/or cognitive function problems, and low exercise capacity. Considering that there are only three studies in the country in relation to this syndrome, it was necessary to investigate the municipality of Palmira because it is one of the territories with the highest number of cases in the department of Valle del Cauca and one of those that has greater lethality. A descriptive observational epidemiological study with an analytical component was carried out that allowed us to describe and know the frequency of persistent symptoms, the functional implications and the burden of the affected systems, in relation to the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. It was found that the population was mainly female, middle and low socioeconomic stratum, had a single event of COVID-19, more than 5 symptoms in the acute stage and received outpatient management. The majority presented a complete vaccination schedule against COVID-19, but only 26.9% had vaccination prior to infection. It was evident that cognitive symptoms represented 88.5% of the persistent symptoms, followed by general (84.6%), musculoskeletal (82.7%) and neurological symptoms (75.8%). In functional status, 70% present minimal to severe limitations. Chronic fatigue had a prevalence of 36.5% (38/104). Regarding quality of life, it was observed that half (50.0%) of the population reports a mild to moderate level of pain or discomfort and around a third (34.6%) a level of anxiety and depression. Cognitive mental function was found with 55.8% at a reduced level. The most affected areas were memory with 88.5%, followed by the visuospatial/executive area with 71.2% and attention 61.5%. It was evidenced that a single episode of acute COVID-19, without critical illness, can develop Post-COVID-19 Syndrome and subsequent vaccination does not seem to be a protective factor. After evaluating the results obtained in this population, the implementation of prevention and management strategies is recommended that facilitate comprehensive rehabilitation in a timely manner with the aim of reducing functional implications.Item Sistema de instrumentación y control de estimulación auditivo y visual con tecnología AIoT para regular el comportamiento(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024-09-30) Álvarez García, Gonzalo Alberto; Asorey Cacheda, Rafael; Zúñiga Cañón, Claudia LilianaThe instrumentation and control systems have allowed the analysis of various systems that touch all aspects of science, developing an evolutionary connection with the needs of human beings and their context, the revolution in the field of biology, industry are just some examples of these scopes. In addition, technologies based on IoT (Internet of Things) systems have interconnected the different devices of our lives, from the simplest thing like turning on or off a light bulb, to being able to control the temperature and humidity of our living spaces. Nowadays, the new reality has posed a new restart to social situations, environments, meeting spaces have suffered due to the situation of the COVID - 19 pandemic, these spaces have not had significant transformations, although our personal spaces, some of them mediated by technology, have been transformed, the conditions in spaces of social interaction have not had an adequate evolution to the technological elements they have. This difference between personal and social spaces has generated a need in which environments and environments must become agents with the capacity to interact with people and to allow both participants and administrators of the spaces a possibility to regulate people’s attitudes and evoke activating or relaxing behaviors. The objective of the work proposed here is to design and build an instrumentation and control system recording the environmental conditions of the environment and generate an auditory and visual stimulus, as a regulatory agent of the environment, with elements of the IoT with robust and accessible technology for the integration of systems for monitoring and control online and also its autonomous operation.Item Efectividad de un programa de educación en neurociencia respecto a tratamiento convencional sobre dolor, calidad de vida y capacidad funcional en adultos con dolor oncológico. Ensayo clínico controlado aleatorizado(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Ordoñez Mora, Leidy Tatiana; Corredor Sáenz, Viviana CatalinaOne of the symptoms related to cancer, which is often difficult to control, is pain. The prevalence of this symptomatology ranges between 20 and 60%. Regarding intervention options, they range from pharmacological modulation to the use of physical means (cold, electrotherapy), as well as the practice of physical exercise as a modulation mechanism. Previous research has established recommendations for the inclusion of educational interventions in palliative care. In this sense, pain neuroscience education (PNE) is a pain modulation strategy that has gained strength in the last decade. However, research is needed to examine its effectiveness in modulating cancer pain. Therefore, we sought to analyze the effectiveness of a neuroscience education program compared to conventional treatment on pain, quality of life, and functional capacity in adults with cancer pain.
