BackgroundA recent review suggested an association between using unpublished scales in clinical trials and finding significant results.AimsTo determine whether such an association existed in schizophrenia trials.MethodThree hundred trials were randomly selected from the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group's Register. All comparisons between treatment groups and control groups using rating scales were identified. The publication status of each scale was determined and claims of a significant treatment effect were recorded.ResultsTrials were more likely to report that a treatment was superior to control when an unpublished scale was used to make the comparison (relative risk 1.37 (95% C11.12–1.68)). This effect increased when a ‘gold-standard’ definition of treatment superiority was applied (RR 1.94 (95% C11.35–2.79)). In non-pharmacological trials, one-third of ‘gold-standard’ claims of treatment superiority would not have been made if published scales had been used.ConclusionsUnpublished scales are a source of bias in schizophrenia trials.

The Impact

Sepsis is a common cause of delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU). Recently, vitamin C and thiamine administration has been gaining interest as a potential adjunct therapy for sepsis. We investigated the impact of early vitamin C and thiamine administration on ICU delirium-free days among critically ill patients in septic shock. We performed a single-center, retrospective study of patients who visited the emergency department (ED) from January 2017 to July 2018. We categorized patients into a treatment (received vitamin C and thiamine) and control group. We compared delirium-free days within 14 days after ICU admission using propensity score matching. Of 435 patients with septic shock, we assigned 89 propensity score-matched pairs to the treatment and control groups. The median delirium-free days did not differ between treatment (11, interquartile range [IQR] 5–14 days) and control (12, IQR 6–14 days) groups (p = 0.894). Secondary outcomes were not different between the two groups, including delirium incidence and 28-day mortality. These findings were consistent after subgroup analysis for patients who met the sepsis-3 definition of septic shock. Vitamin C and thiamine administration showed no association with ICU delirium-free days among patients in septic shock.

Abstract Background Distinguishing asthma from COPD can be difficult especially among old age and smokers. Some patients have common features of asthma and COPD.1 (GINA, 2018). Hence, the definition of asthma COPD overlap (ACO) was developed. ACO is a considerable risk factor for healthcare utilization versus the general population, the asthma population and the COPD population.2(Minchul Kim et al., 2019). Fungal sensitization increase severity of asthma. Aim of the study To compare the prevalence of aspergillus fumigatus sensitization among ACO patients versus asthmatic patients and healthy normal control. Patients and Methods 90 individuals were included; 30 diagnosed as bronchial asthma (According to GINA 2018), 30 ACO patients and 30 healthy normal control. All are group matched to age and sex and selected from the allergy and chest outpatient clinics at Ain shams University hospitals. Total IgE, skin test for Aspergillus and spirometry were done to all participants. Results Aspergillus sensitization was more prevalent among ACO group compared to asthma group however, all control individuals were negative to aspergillus. FEV1 was significantly lower among ACO and asthma groups when compared to control. FEV1 increased significantly in the three groups after albuterol inhalation. Conclusion sensitization to Aspergillus was more among ACO patients compared to Asthma and control groups.

A partir de un breve análisis de la evaluación realizada en el marco del Man dato Constituyente 14, se sostiene que la evaluación, como una garantía publica que las universidades operan con licitud, al amparo de la ley, se ha desviado a un ejercicio de fiscalización y control de las instituciones de educación superior. Una evaluación centrada en la clasificación de las universidades en categorías de prestigio académico, ha dado lugar a una cultura de gestión universitaria bajo la cual la preocupación fundamental de la gestión acaémica consiste en ascender o por lo menos mantenerse en los ranking de calidad definidos por la agencia evaluadora. Esto está conduciendo a una pérdida de autonomía debido a la presión creciente por tomar decisiones académicas y administrativas en función de factores y criterios externos a la vida universitaria. Se hace hincapié en el hecho que la evaluación y su corolario, la categorización, están propiciando un sistema universitario fragmentado y elitista, con peligrosas repercusiones sociales. Se cuestiona el discurso oficial de pretender legitimar la evaluación bajo una  supuesta neutralidad y objetividad de la metodología utilizada. El artículo concluye recordando que el objetivo de calidad de la educación superior debe construir una real alianza entre la misión institucional en sus dimensiones científico-formativas sin desviarse jamás de su objetivo central: la construcción de la ciudadanía pública de sociedades democráticas, sostenibles y justas. Palabras claves: evaluación, autonomía, educación elitista, multicriterios, pertinencia. ABSTRACTIn view of the upcoming evaluation of higher education institutions announced by CEACES, this essay brings back to the debate the topic of university assessment, its scope, meaning and content. Based on a brief analysis of the assessment carried out under Constitutional Mandate 14, the evaluation is discussed in terms of a public guarantee that universities operate within the mandated laws, which have been diverted to a practice of inspection and control of higher educational institutions. An evaluation focused on the classification of universities into categories of academic prestige, has given rise to a culture of university management under which the fundamental concern of academic management consists in ascending or at least maintaining itself in the quality rankings defined by the accreditation agency. This is leading to a loss of autonomy due to the growing pressure to make academic and administrative decisions based on factors and criteria external to university life. Emphasis is placed on the fact that assessment and its aftermath which is its categorization, are fostering a fragmented and elitist university system with dangerous social repercussions. The official discourse that attempts to legitimize the assessment under supposed neutrality and objectivity of the methodology used, is questioned. This paper concludes by recalling that the objective of quality in higher education must construct a real alliance between the institutional mission in its scientific and educational dimensions, without ever deviating from its central objective: thconstruction of public citizenship in democratic, sustainable and fair societies. Key words:assessment, autonomy, elite education, multi-criteria, relevance

El trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar la experiencia de implementación de la inclusión de personas con discapacidad auditiva en la Educación Superior en Paraguay, en tres universidades, dos públicas y una privada: Universidad Nacional de Asunción (UNA), Facultad de Filosofía; Universidad Nacional del Este (UNE), Facultad de Filosofía y Universidad Columbia del Paraguay. Este trabajo se complementa con entrevistas a algunos responsables de las instituciones de referencia. La experiencia se lleva a cabo en la carrera de Ciencias de la Educación en las universidades de Asunción y Ciudad del Este y en un módulo de la carrera de Diseño Gráfico en la Universidad Columbia, ubicada igualmente en la ciudad de Asunción. En todos los casos se realizan ajustes metodológicos que eliminen barreras y favorezcan la inclusión, contando para ello con intérpretes en lengua de señas. La experiencia se considera altamente positiva, si bien se constata la necesidad de contar con mayor formación del profesorado, con formación específica de los intérpretes en razón de la materia a interpretar, con incremento en la dotación de recursos tecnológicos y con material específico para un aprendizaje de calidad.

Marcela Mollis. (2001). La universidad argentina en tránsito. Ensayo para jóvenes y no tan jóvenes. Argentina: FCE. 139 pp.En el texto reseñado se explora cómo ha sido el tránsito de la universidad argentina, desde el corte tradicionalista heredero del gesto napoleónico, hasta la actual universidad, inmersa en una sociedad globalizada, como lo es hoy la sociedad argentina y el resto de América Latina. Se pretende realizar un análisis endógeno –considerando al Sistema de Educación Superior en Argentina– y exógeno –del valor social de la Educación Superior– de dicho tránsito, y para ello se procede con un análisis del valor social que la Educación Universitaria ha tenido. De esta forma, se aborda de manera científica el estado actual del Sistema de Educación Superior en Argentina, atendiendo diferentes miradas: el contexto en que se enmarca la universidad argentina, la reforma educativa, los jóvenes universitarios y su papel como “consumidores” del abanico de oportunidades de la oferta educativa.AbstractThe described text explores how the transition of the Argentinean university has developed from the traditional perspective inherited from the Napoleonic period to the present university, immersed in a globalized society like that of present-day Argentina and the rest of Latin America. We attempt to carry out an endogenous analysis, –considering the Higher Education System of Argentina–, and an exogenous one –of the social value of Higher Education– of said process; to this end, our analysis considers the social value of university education.Thus, we scientifically deal with the present state of the Higher Education System of Argentina, emphasizing different perspectives: the context of the Argentinean university, the educational reform, university youngsters and their role as “consumers” of the opportunities offered by the educational system.

This article explores the impact of change in the governance of education in Spain by exploring the views of system actors engaged in education policy-making in two autonomous communities within the Spanish state. The interviews reflect on the long process of reform of education in Spain, and the shaping principles of that reform. They also consider the ways in which the process has altered as Spanish society has changed. A key issue is the tension between the legacy of a history of centralisation and the pressure for modernisation, which is seen to require decentralisation. Issue that relate to the definition of ‘national identity’ within a decentralised education system are also considered.

RESUMEN: En este artículo examinamos la compleja relación entre política y universidad, dos conceptos con significado propio y que sólo en parte se fusionan respecto de la función de la universidad, que es el objeto principal de este estudio.Una vez delimitado el sentido de la contribución abordamos el marco de la coordinación competencial en nuestro país, junto con las directrices de la educación superior en el marco europeo y el énfasis actual en la búsqueda de la calidad universitaria como vía de desarrollo estratégico. Es justamente la cultura de la evaluación en la educación superior la que favorece un renovado análisis de la calidad en el contexto de una universidad de masas.Acorde con el notable reto derivado del Tratado de Maastricht, nos ocupamos del desarrollo de sistemas universitarios regionales y las políticas estratégicas asociadas a la definición de perfiles en las universidades. Finalmente, referimos algunos elementos importantes para una articulación de funciones que la universidad tendrá que plantearse en el nuevo siglo.ABSTRACT: The main objective of this article is to examine the complex relationship between policies and the university, two concepts, each with their own meanings that fuse only in part, with respect to the function of the universities themselves.Once the sense of this article has been established, we will analyse the framework given to the co-ordination of what should be done, why and by whom at the different Spanish universities. We will also analyse the guidelines for higher education within the European framework and the current emphasis given to the search for quality in universities, as a means to achieving a strategic development. It is precisely the «culture» of evaluation in higher education that helps towards a renewed analysis of this quality within the context of mass universities.In correlation with the important challenge derived from the Maastricht Treaty, we will deal with the development of regional university systems, as well as the strategic policies related to the definition of university profiles. Finally, we make reference to some important elements for the articulation of functions which universities will have to face in the next millennium.
