To achieve this research, was conducted on the historical and sociocultural context of Salsa and R&B, the main exponents, and the musical and vocal characteristics. A melodic and rhythmic analysis of the selected musical references was carried out, as well as an analysis of the riffs present in Mariah Carey's interpretation of "Always Be My Baby," based on the transcription and application of these in the arrangements created during the development of this research work.
As a result, three Salsa arrangements were made of the themes entitled "Dicen que soy," "Te vas a arrepentir," and "O ella o yo" by La India, which is fundamental for the understanding and interpretation of riffs in the Salsa genre
Perspectives of the River Plate around the time of Rosas : an analysis based upon the personal correspondence, private memoirs and published accounts of British settlers, as well as works by creole authors
No full textThis thesis draws inspiration from the emergence of cultural studies as an academic
pursuit, in addition to the current renewal of interest in the relationship between
literary works and their socio-cultural milieux, to bring together an assortment of
textual traces pertaining to the River Plate around the era of Juan Manuel de Rosas,
governor of Buenos Aires and de facto dictator of Argentina for most of the period
1829-1852. The main texts analysed range from private documents relating to two
Scottish settler families, through accounts published by British citizens with first-hand
knowledge of the region (Un inglés, Cinco años en Buenos Aires and
Beaumont, Travels in Buenos Ayres and the Adjacent Provinces), to three influential
pieces of early Argentinian literature (Echeverria's El matadero, Mármol's Amalia
and Sarmiento's Facundo). One justification of this apparently eclectic approach lies
in the prominence accorded to the incomer in the thought of liberal Platine
intellectuals, a concern evinced in their literary production.
The methodology involves examining the representation of certain
fundamental topics across this range of written artefacts, observing frequent points of
thematic convergence amongst the various texts. In this fashion, I construct an image
of the River Plate region around the Rosas period, whilst also appraising the degree
to which early British settlers matched the idealized notion of the immigrant present
in liberal creole writings.
The study is divided into four main chapters, supplemented by an
introduction, conclusion and appendix. The first chapter summarizes the historical
context of the young Platine republics; the second deals with the themes of society,
community and family, the third focuses upon religion; the fourth considers
perspectives of politics, dictatorship and civil war. The appendix consists of an
unpublished settler autobiography, a remarkable account of the tribulations faced on
a daily basis in the developing Argentina
Enfermedad pulmonar intersticial por amiodarona: a propósito de un caso Interstitial pulmonary disease caused by amiodarone: a case report
Get PDFSe trata de un paciente de 62 años de edad, de la raza blanca, con antecedentes patológicos personales de taquicardia supraventricular paroxística que mantiene diario un tratamiento con amiodarona de 400 mg desde hace cuatro años; presentó un cuadro respiratorio dado por una disnea, a la realización de medianos y grandes esfuerzos, acompañado de tos más o menos intensa con una escasa expectoración blanquecina, por lo que acude al cuerpo de guardia del Hospital Provincial Docente Clínico Quirúrgico Dr. "León Cuervo Rubio" de Pinar del Río. Se le realiza el examen físico y obtiene a la auscultación la presencia de estertores crepitantes en el tercio inferior del campo pulmonar izquierdo y la base del pulmón derecho. Se le realiza la radiografía de tórax donde se observa una opacidad difusa, de aspecto algodonoso en la mitad inferior de ambos campos pulmonares de aspecto inflamatorio. Se ingresa para realizarle el estudio y tratamiento. Dada la evolución clínica del paciente y de las alteraciones radiológicas se administraron antibióticos sin mejoría radiológica por el aumento de las lesiones, por lo que se profundizó el estudio. Se retiró la amiodarona y comienza la terapia con los esteroides, con una mejoría de los síntomas, desaparición de los estertores crepitantes, y desde el punto de vista radiológico, una evidente mejoría. Egresa con esteroides, y se le indica el seguimiento, y al mes, se encontraba asintomático con una mejoría radiológica evidente; se decide la disminución progresiva de los esteroides y control por su área de salud. Se presentan las experiencias derivadas de la atención al caso. En la literatura médica cubana revisada no se encontró ningún caso reportado.A 62 year-old, Caucasian, female patient having health personal records of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia maintaining a daily treatment with amiodarone (400mg) during 4 years presented a respiratory disorder characterized by dyspnea at middle and great efforts, not intense cough with whitish and scarce expectoration. The patient attended to the emergency room at “Leon Cuervo Rubio” General Hospital in Pinar del Rio. Physical examination showed the presence of crepitus-indux in the inferior third of left pulmonary field and the base of the right lung; X-ray of thorax proved a diffuse opacity having cottony aspect in the inferior half of both pulmonary fields presenting inflammatory features. The patient was admitted to complete a clinical study and pharmacological treatment. Considering the clinical evolution of the patient and radiological findings, antibiotic therapy was indicated without radiological improvement due to the extension of lesions, then deepening in the clinical study. Amiodarone was discontinued, and the treatment with steroids started, showing improvement of the symptoms, where the disappearance of crepitus-indux was clear; from radiological point of view a remarkable progress was observed. The patient was discharged from the hospital with steroid treatment and the follow-up was recommended, and at month there were no symptoms with a marked radiological improvement; a progressive diminution of steroid and monitoring of the patient in the health area was decided. The experiences derived from this case report are presented. In Cuban medical literature no similar cases were found
