El viaje de Beatriz -La Sin Ventura-, en la mirada feminista de Alaíde Foppa
No full textThis study analyses part of the epic poem La Sin Ventura, written in 1955 by Guatemalan author Alaíde Foppa. This aesthetic work can be categorized in what is known as travel writing literary genre that depicts the colony of the “New World”. Both author and the poem’s main protagonist are important women in the history of Guatemala. On the one hand, Alaíde Foppa, academic, poet, art critic, political exiled, radio producer and allegedly disappeared by the Guatemalan army in the 80’s, was a precursor of Latin American feminism and Human Rights advocate. On the other, Beatriz de la Cueva was the wife of Pedro de Alvarado and first Governor of the Captaincy General of Guatemala in 1541. The main questions that guide this analysis are Why Alaíde Foppa decides to recreate the image of Beatriz de la Cueva? ¿Which elements did she find about Beatriz in chronicles written by Francisco Antonio de Fuentes y Guzman, Fray Antonio de Remesal and Bernal Díaz del Castillo in colonial Guatemala?En el presente trabajo se presenta parte del análisis al corpus del poema épico La Sin Ventura (1955), escrito por Alaíde Foppa. Este texto se enmarca dentro del género literario de relato de viajes durante la colonia al llamado “Nuevo Mundo”. El interés en su estudio radica en que tanto la escritora como la protagonista de esta obra son figuras históricas importantes para Guatemala, pero poco conocidas o estudiadas. Por un lado, Foppa, académica, poeta, crítica de arte, exiliada, productora de radio y desparecida presuntamente por el ejército guatemalteco en los años 80, fue precursora del feminismo latinoamericano y defensora de los Derechos Humanos. Por el otro, Beatriz de la Cueva fue la esposa del conquistador Pedro de Alvarado y primera gobernadora de la Capitanía General de Guatemala en 1541. En La Sin Ventura, Alaíde Foppa decide recrear la imagen de Beatriz de la Cueva, esposa del conquistador Pedro de Alvarado. Los cronistas Francisco Antonio Fuentes y Guzmán, Fray Antonio de Remesal y Bernal Díaz del Castillo mencionan muy brevemente a la esposa del conquistador en sus escritos. Sin embargo, Foppa utiliza a este personaje histórico como protagonista principal de este poema épico, enmarcado en la Guatemala colonial

Poesía y traducción en el exilio: la obra de Alaíde Foppa
No full textThis article analyzes the translation poetics and the translation context of Guatemalan author Alaide Foppa (1914) who lived in exile in Mexico. In 1980 she was kidnapped in Guatemala and the resting place of her remains is still unknown. Foppa was a woman of many talents: she was a poet, activist, feminist, art critic, editor, academic and translator. The focus is on three of the available poetry translations, from French, Italian and English: Paul Eluard, Michelangelo and Mary Oxlie of Morpet. The analysis of paratexts such as prologues and essays will help reveal Foppa’s vision on poetry translation and translation strategies. The analysis shows a tendency towards “recreative translation” (Jones 2011) and “translation as a personal oeuvre” (Campos 1996). At the same time, the paper aims at exploring to what extent Foppa’s situation as an exile as well as her multilingualism had an impact on her work as a translator.Este articulo analiza la poetica de traduccion de la autora guatemalteca Alaide Foppa (1914) y el contexto en el que tradujo como exiliada en Mexico. En 1980 fue secuestrada en Guatemala y hasta ahora se desconoce el paradero de sus restos. Foppa era una mujer polifacetica: poetisa, activista, feminista, critica de arte, editora, academica y traductora. El analisis se centra en tres traducciones, del frances, del italiano y del ingles: la poesia de Paul Eluard, Miguel Angel y Mary Oxlie de Morpet. Tambien se examinan los paratextos como prologos y ensayos con el fin de entender la vision de Foppa sobre la traduccion de poesia y sus estrategias de traduccion. El analisis apunta hacia una tendencia a la “traduccion recreativa” (Jones 2011) y la “traduccion como obra personal” (Campos 1996). Al mismo tiempo se investiga hasta que punto su exilio y su multilinguismo tuvieron un impacto sobre su trabajo como traductora
Resistance Mechanisms in Hepatitis C Virus: implications for Direct-Acting Antiviral Use
No full textMultiple direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-based regimens are currently approved that provide one or more interferon-free treatment options for hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes (G) 1â6. The choice of a DAA regimen, duration of therapy, and use of ribavirin depends on multiple viral and host factors, including HCV genotype, the detection of resistance-associated amino acid (aa) substitutions (RASs), prior treatment experience, and presence of cirrhosis. In regard to viral factors that may guide the treatment choice, the most important is the infecting genotype because a number of DAAs are genotype-designed. The potency and the genetic barrier may also impact the choice of treatment. One important and debated possible virologic factor that may negatively influence the response to DAAs is the presence of baseline RASs. Baseline resistance testing is currently not routinely considered or recommended for initiating HCV treatment, due to the overall high response rates (sustained virological response >90%) obtained. Exceptions are patients infected by HCV G1a when initiating treatment with simeprevir and elbasvir/grazoprevir or in those with cirrhosis prior to daclatasvir/sofosbuvir treatment because of natural polymorphisms demonstrated in sites of resistance. On the basis of these observations, first-line strategies should be optimized to overcome treatment failure due to HCV resistance
Critically appraised topic for the most effective and safe treatment for canine generalised demodicosis
No full textBackground
Canine generalised demodicosis is an inflammatory parasitic skin disease caused by an excessive proliferation of Demodex spp. Generalized demodicosis is a severe skin disease, that can be life threatening if not treated properly. Many of the current treatment options are not licensed for the treatment of generalised demodicosis, it have a low safety margin and may be poorly efficacious and time-consuming for the owner; there is a need for a safe, efficacious treatment for canine demodicosis. Our objective was to systematically review the literature to determine the most effective and safe topical or systemic therapy for canine generalised demodicosis. Single case reports and case series with fewer than five patients were not reviewed as they were considered to be poor quality evidence. A detailed literature search identified 21 relevant clinical trials and these were critically assessed.
Results
The analysis of the best available evidence on March 5, 2018, suggests that six are the most effective and safe treatments for generalised canine demodicosis including (in alphabetical order): doramectin (oral or parenteral); fluralaner (oral); imidacloprid/moxidectin (topical); ivermectin (oral, not as first choice treatment); milbemycin oxime (oral); and sarolaner (oral). There was insufficient evidence to allow comment on the appropriateness of other treatment protocols for canine generalised demodicosis in this CAT.
Conclusions
In our critical appraisal of the best scientific literature, there is evidence for recommending the use of 6 therapeutic options against demodectic mange. Further, in vivo, controlled, randomized and blinded clinical trials are required, to evaluate new therapies
