    In 2001, Buenaventura, Colombia, the rate of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis was of 66 per 100,000 inhabitants. The poor control of the tuberculosis in this city during the last 10 years and the inadequate use of first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs was an opportune situation for the development of high resistance to these drugs. Two surveys of initial resistance to first-line antituberculosis drugs were conducted in new cases of pulmonary TB, in the city of Buenaventura--the first from August 1, of 1997 to January 31 of 1998 and the second from November 15, of 2000 to November 15, 2001. The method of multiple proportions was used to determine drug susceptibility. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated in 93% and 55% of the new cases of lung TB during each respective period. The initial resistance to at least one drug was 25% (9/36) and 32% (23/72), respectively. The initial multi-drug resistance (defined as resistance to at least isoniazid and rifampicin) was 6% for both surveys. This demonstrates the dissemination of multidrug-resistant bacilli and shows the need for surveillance of resistance to antituberculosis drugs in control of the disease, particularly in those areas where the TB control program has been erratically applied. In areas where multi-drug resistant TB occurs, the control strategy should be enhanced with the careful introduction of second-line drugs.La tasa de notificación de tuberculosis pulmonar bacilífera en 2001 en Buenaventura, Colombia, fue de 66 por 100.000 habitantes. El pobre control de la tuberculosis en este municipio durante los últimos 10 años y el uso inadecuado de medicamentos de primera línea hace sospechar una elevada resistencia a estas drogas antituberculosas. En este artículo se presentan y discuten los resultados de dos encuestas de resistencia inicial a drogas antituberculosas de primera línea en personas con tuberculosis pulmonar realizadas en Buenaventura entre el 1° de agosto de 1997 y el 31 de enero de 1998, y entre el 15 de noviembre de 2000 y el 15 de noviembre de 2001, con un intervalo de dos años y nueve meses. En las dos encuestas se utilizó el método de proporciones múltiples. Se logró aislar Mycobacterium tuberculosis en 93% y 55% de los casos nuevos de tuberculosis pulmonar diagnosticados en cada uno de los periodos estudiados. La resistencia inicial a cualquier medicamento antituberculoso fue de 25% (9/36) y 32% (23/72) en la primera y segunda encuesta, respectivamente. La multirresistencia inicial (definida como resistencia, al menos, a isoniacida y rifampicina) fue de 6% en ambas encuestas. Este porcentaje de resistencia encontrado demuestra la diseminación de cepas multirresistentes y destaca a la vigilancia epidemiológica de la resistencia a drogas antituberculosas como un componente esencial en el control de la enfermedad, por lo menos, en las zonas en las que el programa ha sido errático en el pasado. De esta manera, se podrán identificar las áreas en las que la estrategia DOTS deba ser reforzada con el uso de drogas de segunda línea (DOTS-plus)

    Tobacco smoking and gastric cancer: meta-analyses of published data versus pooled analyses of individual participant data (StoP Project).

    Tobacco smoking is one of the main risk factors for gastric cancer, but the magnitude of the association estimated by conventional systematic reviews and meta-analyses might be inaccurate, due to heterogeneous reporting of data and publication bias. We aimed to quantify the combined impact of publication-related biases, and heterogeneity in data analysis or presentation, in the summary estimates obtained from conventional meta-analyses. We compared results from individual participant data pooled-analyses, including the studies in the Stomach Cancer Pooling (StoP) Project, with conventional meta-analyses carried out using only data available in previously published reports from the same studies. From the 23 studies in the StoP Project, 20 had published reports with information on smoking and gastric cancer, but only six had specific data for gastric cardia cancer and seven had data on the daily number of cigarettes smoked. Compared to the results obtained with the StoP database, conventional meta-analyses overvalued the relation between ever smoking (summary odds ratios ranging from 7% higher for all studies to 22% higher for the risk of gastric cardia cancer) and yielded less precise summary estimates (SE ≤2.4 times higher). Additionally, funnel plot asymmetry and corresponding hypotheses tests were suggestive of publication bias. Conventional meta-analyses and individual participant data pooled-analyses reached similar conclusions on the direction of the association between smoking and gastric cancer. However, published data tended to overestimate the magnitude of the effects, possibly due to publication biases and limited the analyses by different levels of exposure or cancer subtypes

    The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs High-resolution optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of 324 survey stars

    The CARMENES radial velocity (RV) survey is observing 324 M dwarfs to search for any orbiting planets. In this paper, we present the survey sample by publishing one CARMENES spectrum for each M dwarf. These spectra cover the wavelength range 520–1710 nm at a resolution of at least R >80 000, and we measure its RV, Hα emission, and projected rotation velocity. We present an atlas of high-resolution M-dwarf spectra and compare the spectra to atmospheric models. To quantify the RV precision that can be achieved in low-mass stars over the CARMENES wavelength range, we analyze our empirical information on the RV precision from more than 6500 observations. We compare our high-resolution M-dwarf spectra to atmospheric models where we determine the spectroscopic RV information content, Q, and signal-to-noise ratio. We find that for all M-type dwarfs, the highest RV precision can be reached in the wavelength range 700–900 nm. Observations at longer wavelengths are equally precise only at the very latest spectral types (M8 and M9). We demonstrate that in this spectroscopic range, the large amount of absorption features compensates for the intrinsic faintness of an M7 star. To reach an RV precision of 1 m s−1 in very low mass M dwarfs at longer wavelengths likely requires the use of a 10 m class telescope. For spectral types M6 and earlier, the combination of a red visual and a near-infrared spectrograph is ideal to search for low-mass planets and to distinguish between planets and stellar variability. At a 4 m class telescope, an instrument like CARMENES has the potential to push the RV precision well below the typical jitter level of 3–4 m s−1

    The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. Two temperate Earth-mass planet candidates around Teegarden’s Star

    Get PDF
    Context.Teegarden’s Star is the brightest and one of the nearest ultra-cool dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. For its late spectral type (M7.0 V),the star shows relatively little activity and is a prime target for near-infrared radial velocity surveys such as CARMENES.Aims.As part of the CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs, we obtained more than 200 radial-velocity measurements of Teegarden’sStar and analysed them for planetary signals.Methods.We find periodic variability in the radial velocities of Teegarden’s Star. We also studied photometric measurements to rule out stellarbrightness variations mimicking planetary signals.Results.We find evidence for two planet candidates, each with 1.1M⊕minimum mass, orbiting at periods of 4.91 and 11.4 d, respectively. Noevidence for planetary transits could be found in archival and follow-up photometry. Small photometric variability is suggestive of slow rotationand old age.Conclusions.The two planets are among the lowest-mass planets discovered so far, and they are the first Earth-mass planets around an ultra-cooldwarf for which the masses have been determined using radial velocities.We thank the referee Rodrigo Díaz for a careful review andhelpful comments.

    The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs HD147379 b: A nearby Neptune in the temperate zone of an early-M dwarf

    Get PDF
    We report on the first star discovered to host a planet detected by radial velocity (RV) observations obtained within the CARMENES survey for exoplanets around M dwarfs. HD 147379 (V = 8.9 mag, M = 0.58 ± 0.08 M⊙), a bright M0.0 V star at a distance of 10.7 pc, is found to undergo periodic RV variations with a semi-amplitude of K = 5.1 ± 0.4 m s−1 and a period of P = 86.54 ± 0.06 d. The RV signal is found in our CARMENES data, which were taken between 2016 and 2017, and is supported by HIRES/Keck observations that were obtained since 2000. The RV variations are interpreted as resulting from a planet of minimum mass mP sin i = 25 ± 2 M⊕, 1.5 times the mass of Neptune, with an orbital semi-major axis a = 0.32 au and low eccentricity (e < 0.13). HD 147379 b is orbiting inside the temperate zone around the star, where water could exist in liquid form. The RV time-series and various spectroscopic indicators show additional hints of variations at an approximate period of 21.1 d (and its first harmonic), which we attribute to the rotation period of the star.FEDER/ERF FICTS-2011-02 fundsMajor Research Instrumentation Programme and DFG Research Unit FOR2544 “Blue Planets around Red StarsEuropean Research Council (ERC-279347), Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (RE 1664/12-1, RE 2694/4-1), Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF-05A14MG3, BMBF-05A17MG3), Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO, grants AYA2015-68012-C2-2-P, AYA2016-79425-C3-1,2,3-P, AYA2015-69350-C3-2-P, AYA2014-54348-C03- 01, AYA2014-56359-P, AYA2014-54348-C3-2-R, AYA2016-79425-C3-3-P and 2013 Ramòn y Cajal program RYC-2013-14875), Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER, grant ESP2016-80435-C2-1-R, ESP2015-65712-C5- 5-R), Generalitat de Catalunya/CERCA programme, Spanish Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte, programa de Formación de Profesorado Universitario (grant FPU15/01476), Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (grants 50OW0204 and 50OO1501), Office of Naval Research Global (award no.
