Determining Study Groups Based on Student Profile Criteria Using K-Means Method

SUMMARY

Students of PTI FT-UNP Study Program are arranged into study groups based on one criterion, namely the entry route and is carried out on new students. As a result, a study group that is formed has far differences between one group and another regarding academic ability, regional origin, school origin and other factors. This is not beneficial for the interest and motivation to learn students and teachers also have difficulty in determining learning strategies between student study groups. Improvements in the preparation of study groups can be done by determining student profiles as the basis for preparation. Through the application of the K-Means method which is implemented in an application, the student clustering which is used as the basis for the distribution of the formation of study groups is proven to be better. The resulting study group succeeded in showing a heterogeneous study group among its members and homogeneous in each study group.

INCIDENCIA DE HIPERCALCIURIA E HIPERURICOSURIA EN PACIENTES PEDIÁTRICOS CON SINTOMATOLOGÍA NEFROUROLÓGICA / INCIDENCE OF HYPERCALCIURIA AND HYPERURICOSURIA IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH NEPHROUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS INCIDENCIA DE HIPERCALCIURIA E HIPERURICOSURIA EN PACIENTES PEDIÁTRICOS CON SINTOMATOLOGÍA NEFROUROLÓGICA / INCIDENCE OF HYPERCALCIURIA AND HYPERURICOSURIA IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH NEPHROUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMSIntroducción: la hipercalciuria y la hiperuricosuria constituyen dos causas importantes de síntomas nefrourológicos en pacientes pediátricos que acuden a las consultas de Nefrología y Urología. Se ha reportado un aumento sostenido de la prevalencia de estos trastornos y los síntomas asociados. Objetivo: mostrar la prevalencia de hipercalciuria e hiperuricosuria en los pacientes que acuden a nuestras Consultas de Nefrología y Urología con síntomas nefrourológicos y la frecuencia de los distintos síntomas que presentaron.Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio retrospectivo analítico de 2770 pacientes a los que se indicó calciuria incluyendo la uricosuria en 2579 de estos, determinándoseles a cada paciente los índices Calcio/Creatinina y Ácido Úrico/Creatinina y estimándose la excreción en 24 horas mediante el modelo matemático elaborado por nuestro grupo.Resultados: de los 2770 pacientes, 1165 (42,05%) presentaron hipercalciuria y 433 (16,8%) hiperuricosuria, y del total en 494 pacientes (17,84%) no se consignaron los datos clínicos. Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron la hematuria, la litiasis, el cólico nefrítico y la infección del tracto urinario en igual proporción, y con menor incidencia se reportaron el dolor abdominal/flanco, la disuria y las fracturas óseas.Conclusiones: la prevalencia de hipercalciuria e hiperuricosuria fue elevada en pacientes con sintomatología nefrourológica sugestiva de estos trastornos; hematuria macroscópica o microscópica, litiasis renal, infección del tracto urinario, cólico nefrítico y en menor proporción dolor abdominal/flanco recurrente, fueron los síntomas más frecuentemente consignados en las indicaciones. Hubo un predominio del sexo masculino en ambos trastornos metabólicos.Palabras clave: hipercalciuria; hiperuricosuria; hematuria; litiasis renal.ABSTRACTObjective: to show the prevalence of hypercalciuria and hyperuricosuria in patients who attend ourNephrology and Urology Consultations with nephrourological symptoms and the frequency of the different symptoms they presented.Method: a retrospective analytical study was carried out of 2770 patients in whom calciuria was indicated,including uricosuria in 2579 of these, determining the Calcium / Creatinine and Uric Acid / Creatinine indicesfor each patient and estimating the excretion in 24 hours by means of the mathematical model developedby our group.Results: of the 2770 patients, 1165 (42.05%) had hypercalciuria and 433 (16.8%) had hyperuricosuria,and of the total in 494 patients (17.84%) the clinical data were not recorded. The most frequent symptomswere hematuria, lithiasis, renal colic, and urinary tract infection in the same proportion, and abdominal /flank pain, dysuria, and bone fractures were reported with a lower incidence.Conclusions: the prevalence of hypercalciuria and hyperuricosuria was high in patients with nephrourological symptoms suggestive of these disorders; Gross or microscopic hematuria, kidney stones, urinary tract infection, renal colic and, to a lesser extent, recurrent abdominal / flank pain, were the symptoms most frequently reported in the indications. There was a male predominance in both metabolic disorders.

Complicaciones cardiovasculares y sus factores determinantes en pacientes adultos portadores de Enfermedad Renal Crónica / Cardiovascular complications and their risk factors in adult patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Complicaciones cardiovasculares y sus factores determinantes en pacientes adultos portadores de Enfermedad Renal Crónica / Cardiovascular complications and their risk factors in adult patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Objetivo: describir las complicaciones cardiovasculares y sus principales factores determinantes en los pacientes adultos con enfermedad renal crónica del consultorio 10, Policlínico “Adrián Sansaricq” de Artemisa, desde octubre de 2016 hasta abril de 2018. Materiales y Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal prospectivo. El universo estuvo compuesto por 856 personas. La muestra quedó representada por 214 pacientes. Las variables utilizadas fueron la clasificación de la Enfermedad Renal Crónica, causa básica, la edad, el sexo, los factores de riesgo cardiovasculares, las complicaciones, las comorbilidades y las causas de muerte. La información se obtuvo a partir de las historias clínicas individuales.Resultados: predominó la Enfermedad Renal Crónica en mujeres y adultos mayores entre 60-69 años. Prevaleció el estadio G3a en la clasificación de dicha enfermedad. Las principales causas básicas fueron la Nefropatía hipertensiva y la diabética, seguidas por la obstrucción urinaria. Se constató una alta exposición a los factores de riesgo cardiovasculares con mayor porcentaje de los fumadores y de la presencia de disturbios fosfocálcicos, mayormente en los adultos mayores. La Insuficiencia Cardíaca, las arritmias y la anemia, predominaron como comorbilidades asociadas. Falleció el 2,8% de los casos investigados, de forma predominante, por causas cardiovasculares y neoplasias.Conclusiones: la Enfermedad Renal Crónica se diagnosticó en un elevado porciento de personas, asociada principalmente a la Hipertensión Arterial, la diabetes Mellitus y los adultos mayores. ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the cardiovascular complications and their main determining factors in adult patients with chronic kidney disease in the office 10, Polyclinic “Adrián Sansaricq” of Artemis, from October 2016 to April 2018.Materials and Methods: a descriptive, longitudinal prospective study was conducted. The universe was composed of 856 people. The sample was represented by 214 patients. The variables used were the classification of Chronic Kidney Disease, basic cause, age, sex, cardiovascular risk factors, complications, comorbidities and causes of death. The information was obtained from the individual medical records.Results: Chronic Kidney Disease predominated in women and older adults between 60-69 years. The G3a stage prevailed in the classification of said disease. The main basic causes were hypertensive and diabetic nephropathy, followed by urinary obstruction. There was a high exposure to cardiovascular risk factors with a higher percentage of smokers and the presence of phosphocalcic disorders, mostly in older adults. Heart Failure, arrhythmias and anemia predominated as associated comorbidities. 2.8% of the cases investigated, predominantly, due to cardiovascular causes and malignancies.Conclusions: Chronic Renal Disease was diagnosed in a high percentage of people, mainly associated with Arterial Hypertension, diabetes Mellitus and the elderly.
