Hotel Marly

Este proyecto se plantea como un “Hotel Especializado” no solo para planes turísticos o de negocios, sino también para un lugar de recuperación total de pacientes luego de una cirugía o con tratamientos extrahospitalarios y sus acompañantes. Además de ser un sitio de descanso y relajación, podrá atender a pacientes de la tercera edad, esto hace parte de la propuesta complejo Clìnica Marly planteada para noveno semestre, ubicado en el sector de Chapinero en la ciudad de Bogotá. A través de esta edificación y su planteamiento urbano se podran brindar nuevas actividades en función a fortalecer y aumentar la calidad de vida de sus usuarios y habitantes del sector, no solo en el factor salud, sino urbano brindando excelentes espacios para la recreación, unificando áreas del sector salud con espacios de descanso del complejo hotelero, manteniendo una estética moderna potenciando la luz natural y el verde que matiza con las perspectivas interiores del complejo hotelero, esto resume la percepción de un diseño que permite disfrutar el ambiente desde el punto de vista de una arquitectura actual, práctica y sofisticada que admite en sus ambientes el entrañable encanto de la tradición bogotana, fortaleciendo el espació público que tanto se extraña en este sector

Pensar, vivir y hacer la educación: visiones compartidas (Volumen 2)

Pensar, Vivir y Hacer educación: visiones compartidas Vol. 2 nos introduce en el examen del hecho educativo a la luz de tres ejes inseparables: pensar, vivir y hacer. Por ello, desea recordarnos la importancia de “hacer” la educación de forma metódica y sistemática, pero sobre todo es un llamado a “vivirla” con pasión y a “reflexionar” sobre ella en sosiego. De la adecuada articulación de esos tres centros complementarios depende el futuro de la educación

Biodiversidad 2018. Reporte de estado y tendencias de la biodiversidad continental de Colombia

Las cifras y temáticas contenidos en el presente Reporte, aunque no son el panorama completo del estado del conocimiento de la biodiversidad en Colombia, son un compendio seleccionado de los temas que, desde el Instituto Humboldt, consideramos son relevantes y merecen ser discutidos por el público general. En muchos de los casos, las cifras no son esperanzadoras u son un llamado urgente a la acción. En otro casos son la evidencia de que se requieren acciones a nivel nacional, y más allá de esto, son muchas las iniciativas que están germinando desde los territorios, cada vez desde una mayor variedad de actores.Bogotá, D.

Effects of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery: an international prospective cohort study an international prospective cohort study

We aimed to determine the impact of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery during the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We performed an international prospective cohort study including patients undergoing elective surgery in October 2020. Isolation was defined as the period before surgery during which patients did not leave their house or receive visitors from outside their household. The primary outcome was postoperative pulmonary complications, adjusted in multivariable models for measured confounders. Pre-defined sub-group analyses were performed for the primary outcome. A total of 96,454 patients from 114 countries were included and overall, 26,948 (27.9%) patients isolated before surgery. Postoperative pulmonary complications were recorded in 1947 (2.0%) patients of which 227 (11.7%) were associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients who isolated pre-operatively were older, had more respiratory comorbidities and were more commonly from areas of high SARS-CoV-2 incidence and high-income countries. Although the overall rates of postoperative pulmonary complications were similar in those that isolated and those that did not (2.1% vs 2.0%, respectively), isolation was associated with higher rates of postoperative pulmonary complications after adjustment (adjusted OR 1.20, 95%CI 1.05–1.36, p = 0.005). Sensitivity analyses revealed no further differences when patients were categorised by: pre-operative testing; use of COVID-19-free pathways; or community SARS-CoV-2 prevalence. The rate of postoperative pulmonary complications increased with periods of isolation longer than 3 days, with an OR (95%CI) at 4–7 days or ≥ 8 days of 1.25 (1.04–1.48), p = 0.015 and 1.31 (1.11–1.55), p = 0.001, respectively. Isolation before elective surgery might be associated with a small but clinically important increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. Longer periods of isolation showed no reduction in the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. These findings have significant implications for global provision of elective surgical care.
