    The automotive design process and the materials in the automotive industry in recent years has caused great interest to the industrial and academic sector. In this study was to evaluate the effect of the amount of bentonite on the thermal and rheological properties of the compound bentonite / paraffin wax. Two bentonite ratios were used: paraffin wax (40:60 and 30:70). The paraffin was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the bentonite was characterized by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The bentonite/paraffine wax composite was characterized by differential-scanning calorimetry (DSC) and rheology. The sample that contains a higher amount of bentonite shows a lower latent heat, and this could cause a greater heat transfer. Finally, the sample that has a lower amount of bentonite evidenced a lower viscosity, and it could be related to a lower interaction between the particles. The sample S1 due to its lower latent heat compared to S2 could represent an interesting alternative to develop prototypingclays. since these materials are characterized by their low working temperatures and easy malleability. Keywords: automotive, prototyping, latent heat, bentonite, paraffin. References [1]X. Ferràs-Hernández, E. Tarrats-Pons, and N.

    No aplicaLos restaurantes enfrentan dificultades para analizar sus costos debido a la falta de un sistema de información adecuado. Esto puede hacer que sea difícil para los propietarios y gerentes de restaurantes identificar los costos de los productos y servicios y tomar decisiones informadas sobre los precios y la estrategia de negocios. El manejo de inventario también se ve afectado por la falta de un sistema de información. Sin un sistema de seguimiento de inventario, los restaurantes pueden tener dificultades para saber qué productos están disponibles, cuánto se está gastando en ellos y cuándo es necesario reponerlos. Esto puede llevar a una sobrecarga de trabajo para los empleados y a un aumento de los costos de almacenamiento. La falta de un sistema de información también puede dificultar la toma de decisiones en cuanto a la estrategia de negocio del restaurante, ya que no se cuenta con información precisa y actualizada sobre los costos y los inventarios. Es importante para los restaurantes tener un sistema de información adecuado para poder analizar sus costos y manejar sus inventarios de manera eficiente. Esto puede incluir el uso de herramientas de software de gestión de inventarios y programas de contabilidad para ayudar a los propietarios y gerentes de restaurantes a tomar decisiones informadas sobre los precios y la estrategia de negocios. En la actualidad se tiene diversos tipos de restaurantes, tenemos restaurantes de proporciones pequeñas de entrada y salida de usuarios, sin mesas para la atención, hasta restaurantes de grandes magnitudes, pensando en esto se ha logrado dividir un sistema administrativo en módulos, la definición de modulo nos muestra que es un componente de un software completo que es desarrollado de forma independiente para una función específica, el sistema que se propone en este caso, son módulo de ventas, módulo de inventario, módulo de compras, módulo de informes, todo pensando en la necesidad diferencial de cada lugar. En resumen, se puede afirmar que la falta de un sistema de información adecuado en los restaurantes puede generar dificultades en el análisis de costos y en el manejo de inventarios, lo que se traduce en una mala toma de decisiones y en un aumento de los costos de almacenamiento y trabajo.Restaurants face difficulties in analyzing their costs due to the lack of an adequate information system. This can make it difficult for restaurant owners and managers to identify the costs of products and services and make informed decisions about pricing and business strategy. Inventory management is also affected by the lack of an information system. Without an inventory tracking system, restaurants can have a hard time knowing what products are in stock, how much is being spent on them, and when they need to be restocked. This can lead to overwork for employees and increased storage costs. The lack of an information system can also make it difficult to make decisions regarding the restaurant's business strategy, since there is no accurate and updated information on costs and inventories. It is important for restaurants to have an adequate information system to be able to analyze their costs and manage their inventories efficiently. This may include the use of inventory management software tools and accounting programs to help restaurant owners and managers make informed decisions about pricing and business strategy. At present there are various types of restaurants, we have restaurants of small proportions of entrance and exit of users, without tables for attention, even restaurants of large magnitudes, thinking about this, it has been possible to divide an administrative system into modules, the definition of module shows us that it is a component of a complete software that is developed independently for a specific function, the system that is proposed in this case, are sales module, inventory module, purchasing module, reporting module, all thinking in the differential need of each place. In summary, it can be stated that the lack of an adequate information system in restaurants can generate difficulties in cost analysis and inventory management, which translates into poor decision making and increased costs. storage and work

    Objective: To describe clinical, histological outcomes and postoperative surgical complications of patients who were under total gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the Hospital Universitario San José (HUSJ) of Popayan in the period from 1990 to 2006. Methods: Retrospective cohort study. We included patients with history of total gastrectomy secondary to gastric cancer. Patients were characterized clinically and demographically according preoperative state. Data related to the surgical technique, diagnosis and clinical TNM stage were described. Early mortality (less than thirty days), occurrence of fistula or abdominal sepsis during hospitalization and length of hospital stay was calculated. The length of hospital stay until discharge was analyzed graphically. Results: During the study period 69 procedures were performed. 73% of patients were male and the mean age was 62 years. 97% of the subjects (60 patients) had advanced gastric cancer, 75% had adenocarcinoma of intestinal type and 15% of diffuse type. Postoperative complications occurred in 20.2%, including requirement of surgical re-intervention (10%), abdominal fistula (7.2%) and abdominal sepsis (3%). The 30-day mortality was 4.3% (95% CI (1.1 to 11.3)). Discussion: Demographic and clinical patterns of the patients studied do not differ from those reported in literature worldwide. Frequencies of complications and mortality found in this study are consistent with those from larger studies. Given the lateness of diagnosis, actions of prevention and screening for early detection of gastric cancer should be carried out in our country to increase the chances of curative treatment

Metodología: Estudiode cohorte retrospectiva. Se incluyeron pacientes con antecedente de gastrectomía total en el contexto de cáncer gástrico. Los pacientes fueron caracterizados demográfica y clínicamente de acuerdo su estado preoperatorio. Se describieron datos relacionados con la técnica quirúrgica utilizada, diagnóstico y estadio clínico TNM. Se calculó la mortalidad temprana (inferior a treinta días), desarrollo de fístula durante la hospitalización, desarrollo de sepsis de origen abdominal y tiempo total de estancia hospitalaria. Se analizó gráficamente el tiempo de estancia hasta el egreso hospitalario. Resultados: En el periodo en estudio se practicaron 69 gastrectomías totales. El 73% de los pacientes fueron hombres y la media de edad fue de 62 años. El 97% de los sujetos (60 pacientes) cursaban con cáncer gástrico avanzado, 75% tenían adenocarcinoma de tipo intestinal y 15% de tipo difuso. Las complicaciones posquirúrgicas ocurrieron en 20,2%, entre ellas, requerimiento de re-intervención quirúrgica (10%), fístula abdominal (7,2%) y sepsis abdominal (3%). La mortalidad a 30 días fue de 4,3% (IC95% (1,1-11,3). Discusión: Los resultados socios demográficos y clínicos de los pacientes estudiados no difieren de los reportados en literatura mundial. Las frecuencias de complicaciones y mortalidad encontradas en este estudio están acordes a las de estudios de mayor magnitud. Ante lo tardío del diagnóstico, acciones de prevención y tamizaje para la detección temprana del cáncer gástrico deben ser efectuadas en nuestro medio para incrementar las probabilidades de tratamiento curativo

    Introduction: Urabá, a region on the northern coast of Colombia, is endemic to several acute febrile illnesses of infectious origin; however, only patients with malaria may have access to quick and effective diagnosis. For this reason, many non-malarial febrile patients go without a clear etiologic diagnosis.Aim: To establish the etiology and clinical signs of acute febrile non-malaria syndromes and explore some of the likely risk factors in patients originating in the municipalities of Necocli, Turbo and Apartado who exhibit these symptoms.Materials and methods: We obtained acute and convalescent sera from 220 non-malarial febrile patients from the rural and urban zones of Necocli, Turbo and Apartado during 2007 and 2008. Serologic tests for dengue (IgM by ELISA), leptospirosis (IgM and IgG by IFA), rickettsiosis (IgG by IFI), hanta and arenavirus (IgG by ELISA) were performed.Results: We found that the frequency of infection for dengue, leptospirosis, rickettsiosis and arenavirus, was 37.3%; 14.1%; 2.7% and 0.5%, respectively. There were 12 co-infection cases of leptospirosis-dengue and one of leptospirosis-rickettsiosis-dengue. Male gender and relative humidity were considered risk factors for dengue, and the beginning of clinical signs in February of 2008 was associated with the infection of dengue and leptospirosis.Conclusion: This study confirms previous records that underline the importance of Rickettsia spp,dengue virus and Leptospira spp as causal agents of febrile syndrome in this region of Colombia. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.v33i0.734Introducción. La región de Urabá es endémica para varias enfermedades febriles agudas de origen infeccioso. Sin embargo, solo los pacientes con malaria pueden acceder a un diagnóstico oportuno y rápido, motivo por el cual muchos síndromes febriles no palúdicos quedan sin diagnóstico etiológico claro.Objetivo. Establecer la etiología, describir las manifestaciones clínicas y explorar algunos posibles factores de riesgo relacionados con los síndromes febriles agudos no palúdicos en pacientes procedentes de los municipios de Necoclí, Turbo y Apartadó.Materiales y métodos. Se tomaron muestras de suero en fase aguda y de convalecencia de 220 pacientes febriles negativos para malaria, provenientes de zonas rurales y urbanas de Necoclí, Turbo y Apartadó en los años 2007 y 2008. Se practicaron pruebas para diagnóstico de dengue (detecciónde anticuerpos IgM por ELISA), leptospirosis (detección de anticuerpos IgM e IgG por IFI), rickettsiosis (detección de anticuerpos IgG por IFI), hantavirus y arenavirus (detección de anticuerpos IgG porELISA).Resultados. Se encontraron frecuencias de dengue, leptospirosis, rickettsiosis y arenavirus de 37,3 %,14,1 %, 2,7 % y 0,5 %, respectivamente. Se presentaron 12 casos de coinfección de leptospirosis-denguey uno de leptospirosis-rickettsiosis-dengue. El sexo masculino y la humedad relativa media,fueron factores de riesgo para dengue. El inicio de signos clínicos en febrero de 2008, se asoció tanto con la infección por dengue como por leptospirosis.Conclusión. Se reafirma la importancia del virus del dengue, Rickettsia spp. y Leptospira spp., como agentes causantes del síndrome febril en la región del Urabá. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.v33i0.734

    The Andean region in Colombia is home to at least 192 species of wild mammals. However, it is a highly transformed region, so the establishment and monitoring of reserves is essential for the maintenance of biodiversity. We made the inventory of the wild mammals of the Hacienda San Pedro Natural Reserve, Maceo, Antioquia. 40 species belonging to eight orders and 17 families are registered. Endangered and endemic species such as Saguinus leucopus, Aotus griseimembra, Notosciurus pucheranii and Proechimys crysaeolus were found. The site assembly presented frequent species from the Magdalena Medio region, as well as from the Central Andes. We hope that this work is a contribution to the academic practices carried out in the reserve and that it highlights its contribution to the conservation of wild mammals at the regional level.La región Andina en Colombia alberga al menos 192 especies de mamíferos silvestres.
