    Development of a Web System That Allows Detecting Stress in Young People Between the Ages of 18 and 23 to Treat Them Early
    (Auricle Global Society of Education and Research, 2023-05-01)
    Stress is a disease that goes unnoticed in most cases, currently the world is going through a global pandemic that in many cases has generated an increase of the stress level in the population; however, this disease is a response of the organism to stress factors, such as the work and educational environment, implying that the university population is very prone to suffering stress or already has it, for this reason, the present work is focused on they. Finally, a web system will be developed to a large extent that will allow detecting stress in university students through a form, for which multiple web technologies will be used, in addition to the Scrum methodology. In this way, a website prototype was obtained that meets two objectives, the detection of user stress and ensuring that they obtain the necessary information so that they know the causes and effects of this disease, as well as activities that help them to cope, control and overcome stress; thanks to this present project, the user will be able to know their stress level and knowing the severity of this, they will resort to the necessary professional help, achieving in the future, reducing the stress index in the university population.

    Frequency and Self-reported Outcomes of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in the U.S. and Latin America
    (Elsevier BV, 2026-01-01)
    Introduction Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) affects about 1–2% of the global population, with roughly 30% of patients not responding to first-line treatments. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has some support for treatment-resistant OCD but global use is unclear. Methods This study describes the frequency with which TMS was reported to be received among a large cohort of individuals who self-identified as Latino-Hispanic in Latin America and the United States. Among 3391 participants, 76 (2.2%) had completed TMS for OCD. Results Recipients who received TMS exhibited more severe current and lifetime OCD symptoms compared to non-recipients. On average, participants underwent 22.61 TMS sessions (SD = 20.96), and self-reported experiencing minimal to some improvement from TMS. The majority of TMS recipients were from Brazil ( n = 26), Mexico ( n = 17) and USA ( n = 16). Conclusions Findings suggest that TMS does not appear to be widely used in OCD treatment among the Latino-Hispanic population, particularly in Latin American countries. Further study of TMS efficacy and dissemination in underserved regions is warranted.
