Community intervention on oral cancer in high risk patients

Abstract

Introduction: oropharyngeal cancer mortality ranked tenth among cancers in Cuba in 2020 and 2021. Objective: to implement a community intervention on oral cancer in high-risk patients aged 35 to 59 years. Method: a community intervention with quasi-experimental design, before-after type with control group, was carried out in clinics 7, 25 and 27 of the polyclinics of Nueva Gerona, Isla de la Juventud between January and September 2022. A sample of 454 patients was selected, distributed in a control and experimental group for each clinic, formed by the same number of patients at random. Theoretical, empirical and mathematical-statistical methods were used and the variables used were: risk for predicting oral cancer, risk factors, level of knowledge about oral cancer and teaching methods. Results: the risk of developing oral cancer was high in 69% of the patients between 35-59 years of age in the clinics under study. Before the intervention, a poor level of knowledge predominated, representing 57.7% of the experimental group. After the intervention, 86.8% of the main risk factors initially identified decreased. Conclusions: the use of new information and communication technologies in promotion and prevention activities contributed to raise the level of knowledge about oral cancer, the main risk factors associated to its appearance and oral self-examination, allowing to transform the modes of action and to evaluate as satisfactory the community intervention implemented in high-risk patients between 35-59 years old.

The good practices of green it in energy saving and its influence on the cost of electrical service of a higher educational center, in the district of Surco - Lima 2022

“…The results obtained through the reliability test analysis have a value of 0.968 and show that the instrument applied has a high level of reliability, for which reason the normality and correlation test was performed. (32,33,34,35) In addition, it was verified that the results of the correlation test between the https://doi.org/10.56294/sctconf2022363 variables and dimensions proposed are related and demonstrate the feasibility of adopting the good practices proposed in the research. (36) It should be noted that the results obtained do not differ from the experiences prior to the research carried out, such as Briseño Garcia (2012) (37) in his research on energy optimization in data centers: Method and application that managed to identify applicable strategies to reduce the high costs of electrical energy in IT infrastructures and demonstrated a methodology that combines a unified and comprehensive method with different strategies to reduce energy consumption in data centers.…”

“…On the other hand, the highest degree of correlation occurs between the process dimension and the fixed cost variable with a level of 79,2 %, which is a high value. (28,29,30,31,32)…”

Neural networks applied to the detection and diagnosis of Breast Cancer, a systematic review of the scientific literature of the last 5 years

“…(40,41) According to Aidossov et al ( 2023), (42) thermography is considered a safe and non-invasive approach to detect breast cancer, this it is based on the measurement of heat wavelength. (43) These characteristics make thermography suitable for regular and repeated use in the detection and monitoring of this disease. (44,45,46) https://doi.org/10.56294/sctconf202235 It is expected to improve the results, which in themselves are very promising since there is not much data to train a neural network that evaluates thermal images, the only database used is DMR.…”

The quality educational service and learning by competencies of the students of the Productive Technical Centers of the UGEL N. 01, district of Villa el Salvador, Lima, 2019

“…Likewise, defines spaces as tangible elements auspicious for student https://doi.org/10.56294/sctconf202290 learning. (52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65) It should be noted that tangible items play an important role in the visit of the customer to the interiors of the company either institution, are frequently employees in physical representations or images to assess the quality of a service; is measured the physical appearance of the service facilities and infrastructure, as well as the equipment, the materials, and supplies and of person. (66,67) For the second specific hypothesis where the correlation coefficient of Rho is measured of Spearman of the dimension reliability with Learning competences, worth thrown was 0,511; interpreting that there is a strong significant correlation at the level 0,01 (bilateral), besides p < 0,5 is equivalent 0,000 being the margin of error inside of the reliable values.…”
