Comparación Entre El Programa De Becas Estudiantiles De La Universidad Nacional De Luján Y Los Programas De Becas Nacionales

Durante los últimos años investigamos si el Régimen de Becas Internas Estudiantiles que ofrece la Universidad Nacional de Luján (UNLu) es una herramienta efectiva para la disminución del abandono. Pudimos verificar, para las cohortes comprendidas entre los años 2007 a 2010 que la tasa de abandono para quienes acceden a alguna de las becas que integran el Régimen de Becas estudiantiles de la UNLu es muy inferior a la observada para quienes no accedieron a ese beneficio. Esta disminución, que alcanza al 35%, fue analizada considerando a los 2.130 estudiantes que participaron del sistema de becas de la UNLu entre los años 2007 y 2010 (el 12,6% de los estudiantes de esas mismas cohortes). En este trabajo, analizamos el abandono de aquellos estudiantes que acceden a los sistemas de becas tanto nacionales como privados para comparar los resultados obtenidos al estudiar el Programa de Becas de la UNLu. Nuestra hipótesis de trabajo fue que independientemente del origen de los fondos que financian los diversos programas de becas y los requisitos que se establecen para acceder a los mismos, la tasa de abandono se encuentra fuertemente influenciada por el valor del estipendio que recibe el becario. Como conclusión, encontramos que la tasa de abandono disminuye en función del monto anual del estipendio que percibe el becario solo para el Programa de Becas de la UNLu, no verificándose el mismo comportamiento para los Sistemas de Becas externos. También analizamos el comportamiento de la tasa de egreso para los sistemas de becas internos y externos a la UNLu, encontrando el mismo comportamiento que con la tasa de abandono: la tasa de egreso aumenta a medida que aumenta el estipendio solo para el Programa de Becas de la Universidad

Role of age and comorbidities in mortality of patients with infective endocarditis

[Purpose]: The aim of this study was to analyse the characteristics of patients with IE in three groups of age and to assess the ability of age and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) to predict mortality. [Methods]: Prospective cohort study of all patients with IE included in the GAMES Spanish database between 2008 and 2015.Patients were stratified into three age groups:<65 years,65 to 80 years,and ≥ 80 years.The area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) curve was calculated to quantify the diagnostic accuracy of the CCI to predict mortality risk. [Results]: A total of 3120 patients with IE (1327 < 65 years;1291 65-80 years;502 ≥ 80 years) were enrolled.Fever and heart failure were the most common presentations of IE, with no differences among age groups.Patients ≥80 years who underwent surgery were significantly lower compared with other age groups (14.3%,65 years; 20.5%,65-79 years; 31.3%,≥80 years). In-hospital mortality was lower in the <65-year group (20.3%,<65 years;30.1%,65-79 years;34.7%,≥80 years;p < 0.001) as well as 1-year mortality (3.2%, <65 years; 5.5%, 65-80 years;7.6%,≥80 years; p = 0.003).Independent predictors of mortality were age ≥ 80 years (hazard ratio [HR]:2.78;95% confidence interval [CI]:2.32–3.34), CCI ≥ 3 (HR:1.62; 95% CI:1.39–1.88),and non-performed surgery (HR:1.64;95% CI:11.16–1.58).When the three age groups were compared,the AUROC curve for CCI was significantly larger for patients aged <65 years(p < 0.001) for both in-hospital and 1-year mortality. [Conclusion]: There were no differences in the clinical presentation of IE between the groups. Age ≥ 80 years, high comorbidity (measured by CCI),and non-performance of surgery were independent predictors of mortality in patients with IE.CCI could help to identify those patients with IE and surgical indication who present a lower risk of in-hospital and 1-year mortality after surgery, especially in the <65-year group

Mortality from gastrointestinal congenital anomalies at 264 hospitals in 74 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries: a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study

Summary Background Congenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes of the seven most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries globally, and identified factors associated with mortality. Methods We did a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of patients younger than 16 years, presenting to hospital for the first time with oesophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal atresia, gastroschisis, exomphalos, anorectal malformation, and Hirschsprung’s disease. Recruitment was of consecutive patients for a minimum of 1 month between October, 2018, and April, 2019. We collected data on patient demographics, clinical status, interventions, and outcomes using the REDCap platform. Patients were followed up for 30 days after primary intervention, or 30 days after admission if they did not receive an intervention. The primary outcome was all-cause, in-hospital mortality for all conditions combined and each condition individually, stratified by country income status. We did a complete case analysis. Findings We included 3849 patients with 3975 study conditions (560 with oesophageal atresia, 448 with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 681 with intestinal atresia, 453 with gastroschisis, 325 with exomphalos, 991 with anorectal malformation, and 517 with Hirschsprung’s disease) from 264 hospitals (89 in high-income countries, 166 in middleincome countries, and nine in low-income countries) in 74 countries. Of the 3849 patients, 2231 (58·0%) were male. Median gestational age at birth was 38 weeks (IQR 36–39) and median bodyweight at presentation was 2·8 kg (2·3–3·3). Mortality among all patients was 37 (39·8%) of 93 in low-income countries, 583 (20·4%) of 2860 in middle-income countries, and 50 (5·6%) of 896 in high-income countries (p<0·0001 between all country income groups). Gastroschisis had the greatest difference in mortality between country income strata (nine [90·0%] of ten in lowincome countries, 97 [31·9%] of 304 in middle-income countries, and two [1·4%] of 139 in high-income countries; p≤0·0001 between all country income groups). Factors significantly associated with higher mortality for all patients combined included country income status (low-income vs high-income countries, risk ratio 2·78 [95% CI 1·88–4·11], p<0·0001; middle-income vs high-income countries, 2·11 [1·59–2·79], p<0·0001), sepsis at presentation (1·20 [1·04–1·40], p=0·016), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score at primary intervention (ASA 4–5 vs ASA 1–2, 1·82 [1·40–2·35], p<0·0001; ASA 3 vs ASA 1–2, 1·58, [1·30–1·92], p<0·0001]), surgical safety checklist not used (1·39 [1·02–1·90], p=0·035), and ventilation or parenteral nutrition unavailable when needed (ventilation 1·96, [1·41–2·71], p=0·0001; parenteral nutrition 1·35, [1·05–1·74], p=0·018). Administration of parenteral nutrition (0·61, [0·47–0·79], p=0·0002) and use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (0·65 [0·50–0·86], p=0·0024) or percutaneous central line (0·69 [0·48–1·00], p=0·049) were associated with lower mortality. Interpretation Unacceptable differences in mortality exist for gastrointestinal congenital anomalies between lowincome, middle-income, and high-income countries. Improving access to quality neonatal surgical care in LMICs will be vital to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 of ending preventable deaths in neonates and children younger than 5 years by 2030

Endophytic bacteria from Ilex paraguariensis shoot cultures: localization, characterization, and response to isothiazolone biocides

Nodal segment explants of Ilex paraguariensis, collected from greenhouse-grown plants, were found tocontain endophytic bacteria. After culturing in bioreactors, 16 rRNA gene analyses and analytical profile index biochemicaltests were used to identify these bacteria asStenotrophomonas malthophilia. The presence of bacterialcells in the intercellular spaces of stem cortical parenchymawas detected in histological sections by scanning electronmicroscopy. A range of commercial isothiazolone biocideswere tested for their ability to repress the growth of Gramnegativebacteria grown in liquid media during themicropropagation phase. The addition of 0.75 ml l−1 Delcide? TG (5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one + 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 1.05% and 0.45%, respectively) to the culture media resulted in 100% visibly clean cultures, with no suppression of shoot growth.Fil: Luna, Claudia Verónica.

Effect of leaf retention and flavonoids on rooting o Ilex paraguariensis cuttings

The effect of the mature leaf retention and the exogenous application of flavonoids (naringenin, quercetin and rutin at 30 μM for 12 h) was studied for adventitious rooting of Ilex paraguariensis cuttings. Softwood cuttings harvested from young 3-year-old plants and adult 10- and 20-year-old plants were rooted under intermittent fog. A strong correlation (r2 = 0.72) between leaf retention and rooting was noted. The highest percentage of adventitious root formation (40%) was obtained when the leaf was artificially removed after 42 days of incubation. This data was supported by the histological analysis which provided anatomical evidence that cuttings have initiated root primordia by 21 days and the regenerated roots emerge through the epidermis after 35 days of incubation. A strong correlation between the position of the leaf and the site of roots regeneration was observed. A 100% of the rooted cutting with a single leaf only formed roots along the leaf axis at the base of the cutting. Quercetin increased the rooting percentage more than three times compared to the control and all flavonoids tested improved the distribution of roots around the stem without impacting the number of regenerated roots per rooted cutting from 20-year-old plants.Fil: Tarrago, Jose Ramon.
