Editorial 28(3): Preface to the Special IssueHelen Farley
Virtual worlds (referred to by some as multi-user virtual environments or MUVEs) have generated much attention and interest among tertiary education practitioners and researchers in recent years, with many universities and colleges making use of commercial platforms like Second Life or building customised platforms using open tools and resources to suit the particular needs of their staff and students. While a number of other journals have published special issues centred around the topic of virtual worlds in education (e.g. Bell, Savin-Baden & Ward, 2008; Chandler,
Collinson, Crellin & Duke-Williams, 2009; de Freitas & Veletsianos, 2010; Hunsinger & Krotoski, 2010; Rea, 2009; Salmon & Hawkridge, 2009; Steinkuehler & Squire, 2009; Twining, 2010), a noticeable majority of the articles published in those issues have emanated from the United Kingdom and United States. In recognition of the considerable innovation, experimentation and dialogue that has been taking place in the virtual worlds arena across the tertiary education sector in Australasia (see Dalgarno, Lee, Carlson, Gregory & Tynan, 2011 for a snapshot), this special issue called for contributions from within the Australasian region, as well as from those
farther afield able to position their work against the Australasian context. Articles were requested that addressed theory, research and practical issues related to the
use of the technology in both higher and vocational education.

This thesis examines the perception of the aging process and level of depression in older adults attending the geriatrics clinic at the Regional Hospital of Huacho in November 2019. The study aims to determine the relationship between perception of aging and depression level. It uses a quantitative, correlational design with a sample of 110 older adults surveyed using questionnaires on perception of aging and the Geriatric Depression Scale. Statistical analysis using the Chi-square test found a direct relationship between perception of aging and depression level. The thesis concludes that perception of aging is directly related to depression levels in this population of older adults attending geriatrics.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Nano-gold for Cancer Therapy chemistry investigatory projectSIVAVINAYAKPK
chemistry investigatory project
The development of nanogold-based cancer therapy could revolutionize oncology by providing a more targeted, less invasive treatment option. This project contributes to the growing body of research aimed at harnessing nanotechnology for medical applications, paving the way for future clinical trials and potential commercial applications.
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, prompting the need for innovative treatment methods. Nanotechnology offers promising new approaches, including the use of gold nanoparticles (nanogold) for targeted cancer therapy. Nanogold particles possess unique physical and chemical properties that make them suitable for drug delivery, imaging, and photothermal therapy.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

To have a better knowledge of the epidemiological and clinical aspects of rotavirus (RV) infection treated at out-patient
clinics, we carried out a study in five centers (one hospital type I, and four out-patient clinics) of Miranda state, between
5. SALAS MARONSKY, Hans
february 2006 and january 2007. We evaluated 194 children under 5 years old with acute diarrhea and analyzed the
following characteristics: gender, age, socioeconomic condition, breastfeeding, nutritional status, clinical characteristics,
rotavirus diagnosis and typing by Enzyme Linked immuno Sorbent Asssay (EISA) and G typing by RT-PCR,
respectively. The population presented the following characteristics: 53% males; mean age, 17.6 +/- 14.05 months; 68%
belonged to worker and marginal class (Graffar 4 and 5); 59% were breast-fed during their first year of life; 13% were
malnourished; 40% were dehydrated and 19% were infected with RV. RV infection was significantly and more frequently
associated with vomiting (94%, P 0.0001) and malnourishment (30%, P=0.0010) than the episodes negative for
rotavirus. In dehydrated cases, significantly greater malnourishment (21%, P=0.0232) and RV (28%, P=0.0407). We
found significant differences between the hospital and out-patient clinics, in terms of Graffar 4 and 5 (90% vs .53%, P
0.0001), malnourished (23% vs. 6%, P=0.006), dehydration (63% vs 24%, P 0.0001) and RV (27% vs. 13%, P=0.027).
Fourteen samples RV positive were genotyped and the G types were 29% G1, 21% G3 and 14% G4 types. This study
suggests that RV cause severe diarrhea associated to malnutrition and poverty and significantly affect the population
older than one year of age in the region studied.

BACKGROUND: Hospital-based studies to determine the etiology of deaths from diarrhea are scarce. In this study, we
specifically analyzed deaths due to rotavirus to assess the rotavirus impact on diarrhea mortality. METHODS: To
determine the rotavirus proportion contributing to mortality due to diarrhea, we analyzed data obtained from a
hospital-based mortality surveillance, conducted over 7 years, in the Ciudad Hospitalaria Dr. Enrique Tejera, Valencia,
Venezuela. Rotavirus was identified in stool samples collected from children who died of diarrhea, by a confirmatory
ELISA and/or reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Our results show that rotavirus (21%; 21/100)
is the leading cause of death due to diarrhea among children under 5 years of age; rotavirus also has an important
impact (2%; 21/1336) on deaths from all causes in this age group. Shigella spp. (19%; 13/69) was the second most
important cause of death, followed by calicivirus (6%; 3/53). Furthermore, this study documents a seasonal pattern in the
deaths due to rotavirus (odds ratio 3.28; 95% confidence interval 1.13-9.76). CONCLUSIONS: For Venezuela, it is
estimated that approximately 300 children under 5 years of age die of rotavirus each year, which means that 1 in 1800
children die by the age of 5. Rotavirus was found to be the main cause of death due to diarrhea, which supports previous
estimations. This is the first study to present data of cause-specific mortality due to diarrhea based on hospital
surveillance of diarrhea etiologies.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost of medical care for rotavirus gastroenteritis and the cost-effectiveness of the
antiretroviral vaccine in Venezuelan children under five. METHODS: We used an economic model that comprises
epidemiologic information, vaccine efficacy, and the cost of medical care in connection with rotavirus gastroenteritis,
viewed from a social perspective. In order to determine the effectiveness of the vaccine, we estimated the number of
hospitalized cases, of medical visits, and of deaths averted after vaccination. The cost-effectiveness of the vaccine was
determined on the basis of the number of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and cases averted. RESULTS: In
Venezuela, health services spend approximately 4.2 million US$ yearly on covering the costs of medical care for
rotavirus-related disease. In a vaccinated cohort, an antiretroviral vaccination program would prevent around 52% (186)
of the deaths, 54% (7,232) of the hospitalizations, and 50% (55,168) of the ambulatory visits that take place during the
first five years of life. For an estimated cost of approximately 24 US$ per individual vaccination schedule, the
cost-effectiveness ratio obtained is 1,352 US$ per DALY. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that
antiretroviral vaccination is a cost-effective strategy for preventing rotavirus gastroenteritis in Venezuela, since it can
prevent deaths and DALYs in the population under five years of age.

Nematodos of the family Anisakidae in the fresh fish.
Revista del Instituto Nacional de Higiene Rafael Rangel Caracas 2005 v.36 n.2,p.21-29
Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and mean intensity of parasitation by nematode larval of the
Anisakidae family in fresh fish species of mayor demand in Caracas, to evaluate the risk to public health and suggest
preventive measures.
302 samples were studied of 21 species of fish, the samples were collected at the Mayor Market of Coche (El Valle,
Caracas) in the period 2003-2005, coming from the Venezuelan sea coast (east, center and west). Parasitological
analyses were done by compression, candling, sedimentation, digestion and nematode identification. Prevalence and
mean intensity of parasitation were calculated.
The parasitized samples were lisa (Mugil curema or Mugil incilis) and lebranche (Mujil liza) with a prevalence of 76%
(IC95%: 58% a 89%) and 94% (IC95%: 80% a 99%), and mean intensity of 13.1 ± 5,2 parasites /unit, and 10,7 ± 3,6
parasites/unit respectively. The nematodes identified for lisa samples were: Pseudoterranova sp (56%), Contracaecum
sp. (48%) Anisakis sp. (16 %), and for lebranche samples were: Pseudoterranova sp. (47%), Contracaecum sp. (47%),
Anisakis sp. (16%) and Hysterothylacium sp. (3%). The parasites were localized mainly at the mesentery and visceral
organs.
The parasitation prevalence and mean intensity for both species were high in all cases, independent of geographic
origin. It could be hypothesized that the intermediary and definitive host of these parasites are currently present in the
Venezuelan sea coast. Due to the hazard to the public health, it is recommend evisceration, freezing and adequate
cooking of the fish in order to minimize the risk of human infection.

Clinical Epidemiological Study of Superficial Mycoses in Rabbits from Conventional animal facilities Revista del Instituto
Nacional de Higiene Rafael Rangel diciembre 2006 v.37 n.2 Caracas,p.27-34
SUMMARY
The superficial mycoses are diseases caused by fungi that live on the skin and/or in their annexes. It was carried out a
study in 214 white New Zealand rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) between 19 days and 5 years of age, reproduced for
more than 16 years, in the animal facilities of the National Institute of Hygiene «Rafael Rangel», to determine the
incidence and prevalence of the superficial mycoses and the associated epidemic factors. The study contemplated the
clinic, laboratory and epidemiology. The size of the sample was estimated by Epi- Info version 5,01 program settling
down 15% of prospective frequency, 5% error and 95% confidence level. Alopecia and descamative lesions, as well as
the general state of the animals, was evaluated. Hair samples and epidermal flakes was taking out by mechanical
traction and rasped. Direct exam with 10% KOH plus Parker ink was carried out and the samples were seeded in
Mycosel and Lactritmel agar tubes. It was determined: accumulated incidence, and prevalence in rates and proportions
to establish the occurrence pattern of the mycoses. The main fungi causing superficial mycoses were: T.
mentagrophytes (dermatophyte) and Scopulariopsis sp. (nondermatophyte). An accumulated incidence of 45% was

obtained in twelve months of observation and 8% of suspicious cases per animal-month. The prevalence oscillated
between 3,6% and 4,8% in confirmed cases. This result give information for good laboratory practices application and
contributes with the quality control program of the biological models.

Factors Associated to Venezuelan Hemorrhagic Fever in Guanarito Rural Community (Dec 1997).
Abstract:
The purpose of the research was to find out family related or personal factors associated to Venezuelan Hemorrhagic
fever in order to draw strategies to get under control the endemic-epidemic disease reported and whose first outbreak
was documented in 1989 at Guanarito, a town of the Portuguesa state of Venezuela. Human group, characteristics in the
site, labour habits and domestics microwheather agents were analyzed by means of a comparative study of 22 samples,
66 indoor controls and 21 outdoor controls using a transverse and retrospective enquire which included hypothetical risk
factors. A randomly selected multistage sample of subjects older than 8 years old was taken nearby for control inclusion.
Percentage estimates, odds ratio and its confidence intervals (95%) were used for one-level agent as stratified analysis.
Relations were studied using ji squared test, Fisher's exact test, the variances, Kruskall Wallis and Barlett's Test. From
this analysis results suggest that there is more risk for human males, whose labouractivity is farming, they are foreigners,
who cath/keep rodents at their home, they employ farming tools and belong to families that cohabit with pets. Results
therefore have allowed to take new supervising strategies and keep on with the research by increasing the sample.
Bayesian Dynamic Linear Model for the Prediction of Maternal and Child Mortality in Venezuela (Feb 2005).
Abstract
The objective was to build a Bayesian dynamic linear model for the study of the rates of infant and maternal mortality
during the period 1940-1999, aiming to predict the time series in the future. For this, we examined the time series of
infant mortality and maternal mortality in Venezuela from 1940 to 1999 and conducted interventions (subjective
information) for the construction of the linear model, adjusting it through dynamic changes in the variance. These
interventions were conducted in 1968 for the infant mortality series and 1983 for maternal deaths series.Rates of infant
and maternal mortality were predicted for 2000, 2001 and 2002. The predictions were compared with the historical
record, obtaining acceptable results. This highlights the usefulness of the Bayesian dynamic linear model in the analysis
and prediction of time series.
