    eng: On an October morning in 1963 this author arrived in Quibdó, Chocó, with seven other Peace Corps Volunteers. The tugged old D-C 3 we had flown circled for half-an- hour before breaking through the solid cloud cover to land on the gravel runway which served as Quibdo's airstrip. Within a few minutes we stepped out into one of nature's sauna baths and experienced several of the dominent physical features of the central Chocó— heat* humidity, and an almost constant cloud cover. Late in the afternoon the rains descended and continued throughout the night. Rain, heat, and humidity were constant companions for this volunteer while he lived and worked with the people of the Chocó town of Tado duting the next twenty-one months.PREFACE ................ . . . . . . . . vI.

    Se realiza el estudio patológico de un puente en estructura metálica apoyado sobre pilares en concreto reforzado en el Municipio de Certegui en el Departamento de Choco, con una longitud de 20m, el cual presenta gran deterioro. El puente fue construido en el año 1992 por parte del municipio, se evidencia que desde su construcción la administración municipal solo ha hecho retoques de pintura, mas no un mantenimiento preventivo o correctivo de los elementos metálicos, de acuerdo a los conocimientos técnicos tomados en la especialización ofertada por la Universidad Santo Tomas enfocada en Patología de la Construcción, incluyendo la documentación técnica del Instituto Nacional de Vías – INVIAS en su manual de inspección de puentes. Una vez realizadas las visitas de campo en la zona de intervención se pudo determinar las lesiones que presenta el puente, así mismo en la ejecución de ensayos de laboratorio y de campo para comprobar el estado de la estructura.Especialista en Patología de la construccionEspecializació

    The ChoCO-W prospective observational global study: Does COVID-19 increase gangrenous cholecystitis?

    No full text
    Background: The incidence of the highly morbid and potentially lethal gangrenous cholecystitis was reportedly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the ChoCO-W study was to compare the clinical findings and outcomes of acute cholecystitis in patients who had COVID-19 disease with those who did not. Methods: Data were prospectively collected over 6 months (October 1, 2020, to April 30, 2021) with 1-month follow-up. In October 2020, Delta variant of SARS CoV-2 was isolated for the first time. Demographic and clinical data were analyzed and reported according to the STROBE guidelines. Baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients who had COVID-19 were compared with those who did not. Results: A total of 2893 patients, from 42 countries, 218 centers, involved, with a median age of 61.3 (SD: 17.39) years were prospectively enrolled in this study; 1481 (51%) patients were males. One hundred and eighty (6.9%) patients were COVID-19 positive, while 2412 (93.1%) were negative. Concomitant preexisting diseases including cardiovascular diseases (p < 0.0001), diabetes (p < 0.0001), and severe chronic obstructive airway disease (p = 0.005) were significantly more frequent in the COVID-19 group. Markers of sepsis severity including ARDS (p < 0.0001), PIPAS score (p < 0.0001), WSES sepsis score (p < 0.0001), qSOFA (p < 0.0001), and Tokyo classification of severity of acute cholecystitis (p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in the COVID-19 group. The COVID-19 group had significantly higher postoperative complications (32.2% compared with 11.7%, p < 0.0001), longer mean hospital stay (13.21 compared with 6.51 days, p < 0.0001), and mortality rate (13.4% compared with 1.7%, p < 0.0001). The incidence of gangrenous cholecystitis was doubled in the COVID-19 group (40.7% compared with 22.3%). The mean wall thickness of the gallbladder was significantly higher in the COVID-19 group [6.32 (SD: 2.44) mm compared with 5.4 (SD: 3.45) mm; p < 0.0001]. Conclusions: The incidence of gangrenous cholecystitis is higher in COVID patients compared with non-COVID patients admitted to the emergency department with acute cholecystitis. Gangrenous cholecystitis in COVID patients is associated with high-grade Clavien-Dindo postoperative complications, longer hospital stay and higher mortality rate. The open cholecystectomy rate is higher in COVID compared with non -COVID patients. It is recommended to delay the surgical treatment in COVID patients, when it is possible, to decrease morbidity and mortality rates. COVID-19 infection and gangrenous cholecystistis are not absolute contraindications to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy, in a case by case evaluation, in expert hands.

    No full text
    Eng: The author explores the concept of identity as a frame of analysis in adolescents responding to various actual experiences of trauma. The author looks into numerous themes including the impact of broken identities, different ways of understanding the “victim identity”, the identities of trauma, the role of transitions, as well as identity dilemmas. By examining the experience of young Mapuche in South America, the experience of war and political violence in Mexico and el Salvador, the identity of displaced young people in Colombia, and a multilevel analysis of child suicides among the Embera ethnic group in Choco, Colombia, a psychosocial and communitarian analysis of the impact of violence and war on youth is offered.Spa: La autora explora el concepto de identidad como marco de análisis en adolescentes que responden a diversas experiencias reales de trauma. La autora examina numerosos temas, entre ellos el impacto de las identidades rotas, las diferentes formas de entender la "identidad de víctima", las identidades del trauma, el papel de las transiciones, así como los dilemas de identidad. Mediante el examen de la experiencia de los jóvenes mapuches en Sudamérica, la experiencia de la guerra y la violencia política en México y el Salvador, la identidad de los jóvenes desplazados en Colombia y un análisis multinivel de los suicidios infantiles entre la etnia embera en Choco, Colombia, se ofrece un análisis psicosocial y comunitario del impacto de la violencia y la guerra en la juventud

    A study of a nonseptate mutant of schizophyllum commune at the cellular level, 1984

    No full text
    In the tetrapolar bas i di omycete Schizophyl 1 uni commune a mutation in strain 9004 (chocolate) impairs hyphal growth as well as brings about an accumulation of extracellular granules and nonseptate condition. A higher amount of resi�dual glucose was observed in the growth medium of the choco�late mutant. Estimation of crude protein showed that the mutant contained more crude protein in its growth medium as compared to that of the wild-type. Partial and complete hydrolysis of the mutant cell wall demonstrated that it is mainly composed of small amounts of chit in and two glucans called S and R-glucan, and that its S/R ratio is low. The incorporation of labeled uridine diphosphate-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in cell-free extracts of the chocolate mutant of Schizophyl1 urn commune showed very low incorporation into insoluble chitin of the mutant. All of the above evidence suggest that there is lesion or weak�ness in the chocolate cell wall and this may be affecting the general physiology of the mutant.An ultrastructural observation of the hyphae revealed a wider cell wall in the mutant as compared to that of the wild-type. Besides, the study showed that there is an increased number of vacuoles and intrusion in the subapical region. SEM and TEM exhibited cytoplasmic materials and exudate, respectively, which were secreted by the chocolate mutant
