Hospital Cosme Argerich. Infectología; Argentina.From the blood culture of an HIV-positive patient with a febrile syndrome (CD4 count 385 cells/microL and viral load nondetectable), Brucella canis was isolated. The patient was presumptively infected from his dogs, which tested positive, and showed good outcome after the therapy with doxycycline-ciprofloxacin, and the HIV infection would seem not to have been influenced by brucellosis. To our knowledge, no other case of B. canis in the setting of HIV infection has been reported in the literature, and the emerging zoonotic potential of the disease in urban areas should be considered
Convento de Santa María de la Asunción: Atlixco, Puebla
No full textLa información de esta miniguía se basa en los trabajos de Marco Díaz, Lucero Morales C., Gonzalo Obregón y Robert RicardDe acuerdo con las fuentes etnohistóricas, Atlixco y Calpan combatieron en dos ocasiones, en 1403 y 1443 respectivamente. Después de la derrota del primero, los señoríos de Calpan y Huexotzinco se repartieron el territorio, el cual volvió a ser abandonado y utilizado como campo de batalla en las Guerras Floridas. Este carácter baldío más tarde permitió a los españoles reclamarlas para establecer un asentamiento de labradores conocido como Val de Cristo. En este lugar la orden franciscana, encargada de la instrucción religiosa de los naturales, fundó un monasterio cuya construcción debió iniciarse hacia la década de 1551-1560. El edificio en la actualidad es sede de la Comunidad Religiosa de las Bienaventuranzas, esto ha permitido el rescate de los espacios clausurados por la inhabilitación del edificio como convento.</p
Unusual clinical presentation of brucellosis caused by Brucella canis

Laboratoire de Pathologie Infectieuse et Immunologie; Francia.Brucella canis is considered a rare cause of human brucellosis. The clinical importance of this infection may have been underestimated so far because of difficulties with presumptive diagnosis. The case described here presented symptoms compatible with brucellosis but the routine tests using Brucella abortus antigen were negative. The infection would have remained undiagnosed if culture had not been positive. This case illustrates the potential for a favourable outcome in Brucella canis diagnosis and supports recommendations for the use of B. canis serology. The infection should be suspected in patients with compatible symptoms and negative serology for B. abortus antigen
Brucella isolated in humans and animals in Latin America from 1968 to 2006

Servicio Brucelosis; Argentina.Fil: Jacob, Néstor R. Hospital Universitario Austral. Depatamento de Infectología; Argentina.We report a retrospective analysis of 1933 Brucella strains isolated from humans and animals in Latin American countries between 1968 and 1991 and in Argentina between 1994 and 2006. During the first period 50% of strains were from humans, mainly from Argentina, Mexico and Peru but, while B. suis was the main cause of infection in Argentina, B. melitensis was responsible for most infections in the other countries. In Argentina in the later years, B. melitensis and B. suis were observed more frequently than in the first period while isolation of B. abortus decreased. Of 145 B. melitensis human isolates, eight gave susceptibility patterns to dyes and penicillin and two were B. melitensis biovar 3, which has never been reported in animals. Forty-six percent of B. suis isolated were resistant to dyes which is an atypical feature in this species

Brucellosis Reference Unit; Reino Unido.Consumption of inadequately pasteurized dairy products is the most common means of transmission of brucellosis. This report describes two foodborne outbreaks that occurred in families infected after consumption of fresh home-made cheese bought in different Argentine provinces. High resolution variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR)-based analysis revealed two well-defined groups comprising essentially identical profiles and corresponding to the two different outbreaks. Similar clinical findings in members of the same family could indicate that the differential virulence of different bacterial clones, as indicated by VNTR data, could have influenced the course of the disease. We observed the importance of adequate treatment in early stages of the disease; combination therapy and extended treatment for 6 weeks or longer yielded significantly better results. The risk of the foodborne transmission of this zoonotic disease and disease prevention should be considered

Beyond form and content: Reading the biological sources of Deleuze’s aesthetics
No full textLa originalidad que define la lectura deleuzeana de las artes es su crítica implícita a toda antropología o psicología del artista y del espectador, y a todo abordaje de la obra dependiente de la tradición hermenéutica, de las teorías del lenguaje y de la semiología estructuralista. El problema de la animalidad y de la vida en general en relación con el arte parece responder, de un modo inédito, al desdibujamiento de las esferas que la estética clásica distinguía como categorías escindidas para el análisis de la obra de arte; el autor, la obra, el espectador. En este artículo proponemos un recorrido por algunos aspectos de las teorías de la individuación y lo viviente en Simondon, Bergson y von Uexküll para comprender su uso y función en la estética deleuzena.The originality of Deleuze aesthetics is its implicit refuse of any anthropology o psychology of the artist or the spectator, and also a refusal of hermeneutics, language theories and structuralist semiology towards an analysis of the work of art. The problem of animality and life in general in relation to art seems to respond, in an unprecedented way, to the fading of those which classical aesthetics regarded as split topics for the analysis of the work of art, i.e., author, work of art, spectator. This paper points out some relevant aspects of individuation and life theories in Simondon, Bergson and von Uexküll, so as to understand their use and function in Deleuze aesthetics.Fil: Lucero, Guadalupe.

The conflict in Chantal Mouffe : dialogues between psychoanalysis and political theory
No full textEl presente artículo indagará sobre la noción de conflicto en la obra de Chantal Mouffe y la
influencia del psicoanálisis en la posición teórica de la autora. Al afirmar que no es posible
erradicar la dimensión conflictual de la sociedad, Mouffe realiza un aporte novedoso a la
reflexión política en torno a las condiciones de posibilidad de la democracia. A partir del
planteo de la autora, el texto propone una mirada crítica acerca del origen y lugar que ocupa
el conflicto tanto en la de cosmovisión liberal como en la visión marxista, con el fin de
reflexionar acerca de los discursos sobre la política y la democracia que se encuentran
actualmente en boga.This article will investigate the notion of conflict in Chantal Mouff s work and the influence of
psychoanalysis on the auth s theoretical position. By stating that it is not possible to
eradicate the conflictive dimension of society, Mouffe makes a novel contribution to political
reflection on the conditions of the possibility of democracy. From the author s point of view,
the text proposes a critical view of the origin and place of the conflict, both in the liberal
worldview and in the Marxist view, in order to reflect on the discourses on politics and
democracy which are currently in vogue.Fil: Lucero, Lucas
