PublicaciónA greenhouse interval between icehouse times: Climate change, long-distance plant dispersal, and plate motion in the Mississippian (late Visean-earliest Serpukhovian) of Gondwana(Elsevier, 2014)
;Pfefferkorn H.W. ;Alleman V.Iannuzzi R.The late Paleozoic ice age (LPIA) is the closest example that can be compared with current climate conditions. Near the beginning of the LPIA fossil plants of Mississippian (late Visean to earliest Serpukhovian) age indicate a widespread frost-free climate in a wide belt on Gondwana indicating an interval of greenhouse conditions between the earlier Visean and later Serpukhovian icehouse times. This warm-temperate floral belt has been named the Paraca floral belt after the locality on the Peruvian coast where it was first recognized. -
PublicaciónAddressing post-stroke care in rural areas with Peru as a case study. Placing emphasis on evidence-based pragmatism(Elsevier, 2017)
;Miranda J.J. ;Moscoso M.G. ;Yan L.L. ;Diez-Canseco F. ;Málaga G. ;Garcia H.H.Ovbiagele B.Stroke is a major cause of death and disability, with most of its burden now affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). People in rural areas of LMIC who have a stroke receive very little acute stroke care and local healthcare workers and family caregivers in these regions lack the necessary knowledge to assist them. Intriguingly, a recent rapid growth in cell-phone use and digital technology in rural areas has not yet been appropriately exploited for health care training and delivery purposes. What should be done in rural areas, at the community setting-level, where access to healthcare is limited remains a challenge. We review the evidence on improving post-stroke outcomes including lowering the risks of functional disability, stroke recurrence, and mortality, and propose some approaches, to target post-stroke care and rehabilitation, noting key challenges in designing suitable interventions and emphasizing the advantages mHealth and communication technologies can offer. -
PublicaciónGlobal Shifts in Cardiovascular Disease, the Epidemiologic Transition, and Other Contributing Factors: Toward a New Practice of Global Health Cardiology(W.B. Saunders, 2017)
;Mendoza W.Miranda J.J.The epidemiologic transition theory, since it was first proposed, gave an intellectual boost to understanding the changing dynamics of epidemiologic profiles. The epidemiologic transition provided a complement to the discourse of demographic change. Despite its criticisms and revisions, it is still a useful concept that influences public health debates, and has proved to be influential, particularly in changing societies. Most countries are facing the rapidly emerging needs of populations -
PublicaciónRole of mHealth in overcoming the occurrence of post-stroke depression(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)
;Miranda J.J. ;Moscoso M.G. ;Toyama M. ;Cavero V. ;Diez-Canseco F.Ovbiagele B.Depression associated with stroke affects roughly one-third of stroke survivors. Post-stroke depression (PSD) is thought to adversely influence functional outcome by limiting participation in rehabilitation, decreasing physical, social, and cognitive function, and affecting neuroplasticity thereby placing stroke survivors at high risk for future vascular events. PSD has also been associated with higher mortality rates after stroke. In Peru, a country where there is no national stroke program and mental health disorders are largely underdiagnosed and untreated, people with PSD are likely to be further challenged by dependency and impoverished conditions that will limit their use of ambulatory services, leading to inadequate clinical follow-up. In this scenario, mobile health (mHealth) technology offers a promising approach to extend access to high-quality and culturally tailored evidence-based psychological care to address PSD given that cell phone use, Internet connectivity, and digital health technology have met a rapid growth in the last years and thus contribute to the attainment of broader Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
