Metodología LINK con un enfoque sensible a las necesidades de género

Aunque la Metodología LINK se centra en la inclusión de mujeres y hombres que producen a pequeña escala dentro de los modelos de negocio, las primeras versiones de LINK no prestaron especial atención al empoderamiento económico de la mujer, como sí lo hace este manual. Existe una tendencia en varios países y sociedades a que la mujer quede excluida de los mercados más rentables y lucrativos, en comparación con el hombre. Por eso es necesario efectuar análisis e intervenciones concretas para poder incluir a la mujer en mercados lucrativos. También es importante destacar que proyectos y programas que buscan aumentar el empoderamiento económico de la mujer deben trabajar tanto con mujeres como con hombres e incluirlos como socios

Granulomatous Reactivation during the Course of a Leprosy Infection: Reaction or Relapse

Leprosy is a serious infectious disease whose treatment still poses some challenges. Patients are usually treated with a combination of antimicrobial drugs called multidrug therapy. Although this treatment is effective against Mycobacterium leprae, the bacillus that causes leprosy, patients may develop severe inflammatory reactions during treatment. These reactions may be either attributed to an improvement in the immunological reactivity of the patient along with the treatment, or to relapse of the disease due to the proliferation of remaining bacilli. In certain patients these two conditions may be difficult to differentiate. The present study addresses the histopathology picture of and the M. leprae bacilli in sequential biopsies taken from lesions of patients who presented such reactions aiming to improve the differentiation of the two conditions. This is important because these reactions are one of the major causes of the disabilities of the patients with leprosy, and should be treated early and appropriately. Our results show that the histopathology picture alone is not sufficient, and that bacilli's counting is necessary
