    [SPA] El caupí (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) es un cultivo sudafricano utilizado tanto para consumo humano como animal. El objetivo de este estudio fue la caracterización morfológica y agronómica de distintas accesiones locales de caupí en el sureste de España durante dos años, en condiciones de cultivo convencional. Se utilizaron 15 accesiones locales de Murcia, Portugal y Grecia y una línea de referencia de Nigeria. Para la caracterización se usaron descriptores de acuerdo al “International Board for Plant Genetic Resources”, observándose diferencias significativas en ambos años para todos ellos. El mayor rendimiento del cultivo se observó en las accesiones locales de Murcia, Vi13 y BGE038474. El mayor porcentaje en proteína de la semilla seca la obtuvo en 2016 la accesión portuguesa Cp5051, con un 27,85%. Hubo diferencias en la morfología de la vaina (anchura y largura), entre las subespecies analizadas, ya que la subespecie sinensis es de vaina corta y la sesquipedalis de vaina larga. Estos resultados indican que la variabilidad genética juega un papel importante en el rendimiento del cultivo y la calidad de la producción. [ENG] Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) is a crop from Southern Africa used for human food and for fodder livestock. The aim of this work was the morphological and agronomical characterization of several local accessions of cowpea in two consecutive years in South Eastern Spain in a conventional management system. Fifteen cowpea local accessions from Murcia, Portugal and Greece and a reference line from Nigeria were used. The morphological and agronomical traits were evaluated based on descriptors according to the International Board for Plant Genetic Resources. In both years, significant differences were observed within all descriptors used. The highest yield was observed in local accessions from Murcia, Vi13 and BGE038474. The highest percentage of protein content in dry seeds was obtained in 2016 by the Portuguese accession Cp5051, with 27.85%. The pods morphology (width and length) was significantly different among the subspecies analyzed, since the subspecies sinensis has short pods and sesquipedalis has long pods. These results indicate that genetic variability plays an important role in crop yield and quality of production.Este trabajo ha sido financiado por el Proyecto Europe EU FP7 Research Project Nº 613781 “Enhancing of legumes growing in Europe through sustainable cropping for protein supply for food and feed” EUROLEGUME

    [SPA] Las leguminosas son el segundo cultivo con mayor producción mundial después de los cereales, por lo que su importancia para consumo animal y humano es crucial. El haba (Vicia faba), el guisante (Pisum sativum) y el caupí (Vigna unguiculata) son especies de leguminosas con interés agronómico en la Unión Europea. La selección de variedades de estas especies, mediante técnicas de genotipado, fenotipado y transcriptómica, permitirá la obtención de variedades con calidad nutricional (alto contenido en proteína) y buenas cualidades agronómicas (resistencia a estrés abiótico y biótico) óptimas para una producción sostenible y competitiva de proteínas en Europa. [ENG] Legumes are the second largest world crop production after cereals, demonstrating their importance for human and animal consumption. Faba bean (Vicia faba), pea (Pisum sativum) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) are legume species with agricultural interest in the European Union. The selection of varieties of these species through genotyping, phenotyping and transcriptomics, allows identifying varieties with nutritional quality (high protein content) and good agronomic qualities (resistance to abiotic and biotic stress) optimal for a sustainable and competitive production of protein crops in Europe.Al proyecto EUROLEGUME (EU FP7 Research Project No. 613781) por financiar este proyecto de tesis doctoral

    [ESP] Con el fin de recuperar variedades autóctonas españolas y portuguesas de caupí, se evaluaron 19 accesiones en dos ensayos comparando su contenido de proteína en semilla. En el primer ensayo se evaluaron 16 accesiones autóctonas españolas frente a una variedad mejorada de Nigeria (IT97K-499-35). En el siguiente ensayo dos accesiones autóctonas portuguesas se sometieron a tres tipos de manejo de cultivo: monocultivo, rotación convencional y rotación ecológica. Los resultados indican que entre las distintas accesiones hay diferencias significativas en la cantidad de proteína, pero que los tres tipos de manejo de cultivo no influyeron en esta. [ENG] In order to recover local Spanish and Portuguese varieties of cowpea, 19 accessions were evaluated in two trials comparing their seed protein content. In the first survey, 16 Spanish accessions versus one improved from Nigeria (IT97K-499-35) were analysed. In the next trial, we used two Portuguese accessions under three growth conditions: monoculture, conventional rotation and organic rotation. The results indicate that there are significant differences in the protein content of the different accessions, but the growth conditions didn’t affect that.Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Telecomunicación (ETSIT), Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica (ETSIA), Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial (ETSII), Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura y Edificación (ETSAE), Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos y de Ingeniería de Minas (ETSICCPIM), Facultad de Ciencias de la Empresa (FCCE), Parque Tecnológico de Fuente Álamo (PTFA), Vicerrectorado de Estudiantes y Extensión de la UPCT, Vicerrectorado de Investigación e Innovación de la UPCT, y Vicerrectorado de Internacionalización y Cooperación al Desarrollo de la UPCT

    RICORS2040 : The need for collaborative research in chronic kidney disease

    Get PDF
    Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a silent and poorly known killer. The current concept of CKD is relatively young and uptake by the public, physicians and health authorities is not widespread. Physicians still confuse CKD with chronic kidney insufficiency or failure. For the wider public and health authorities, CKD evokes kidney replacement therapy (KRT). In Spain, the prevalence of KRT is 0.13%. Thus health authorities may consider CKD a non-issue: very few persons eventually need KRT and, for those in whom kidneys fail, the problem is 'solved' by dialysis or kidney transplantation. However, KRT is the tip of the iceberg in the burden of CKD. The main burden of CKD is accelerated ageing and premature death. The cut-off points for kidney function and kidney damage indexes that define CKD also mark an increased risk for all-cause premature death. CKD is the most prevalent risk factor for lethal coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the factor that most increases the risk of death in COVID-19, after old age. Men and women undergoing KRT still have an annual mortality that is 10- to 100-fold higher than similar-age peers, and life expectancy is shortened by ~40 years for young persons on dialysis and by 15 years for young persons with a functioning kidney graft. CKD is expected to become the fifth greatest global cause of death by 2040 and the second greatest cause of death in Spain before the end of the century, a time when one in four Spaniards will have CKD. However, by 2022, CKD will become the only top-15 global predicted cause of death that is not supported by a dedicated well-funded Centres for Biomedical Research (CIBER) network structure in Spain. Realizing the underestimation of the CKD burden of disease by health authorities, the Decade of the Kidney initiative for 2020-2030 was launched by the American Association of Kidney Patients and the European Kidney Health Alliance. Leading Spanish kidney researchers grouped in the kidney collaborative research network Red de Investigación Renal have now applied for the Redes de Investigación Cooperativa Orientadas a Resultados en Salud (RICORS) call for collaborative research in Spain with the support of the Spanish Society of Nephrology, Federación Nacional de Asociaciones para la Lucha Contra las Enfermedades del Riñón and ONT: RICORS2040 aims to prevent the dire predictions for the global 2040 burden of CKD from becoming true

    Addressing disease-related malnutrition in healthcare: A Latin American perspective

    No full text
    Alarmingly high rates of disease-related malnutrition have persisted in hospitals of both emerging and industrialized nations over the past 2 decades, despite marked advances in medical care over this same interval. In Latin American hospitals, the numbers are particularly striking; disease-related malnutrition has been reported in nearly 50% of adult patients in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Uruguay. The tolls of disease-related malnutrition are high in both human and financial terms - increased infectious complications, higher incidence of pressure ulcers, longer hospital stays, more frequent readmissions, greater costs of care, and increased risk of death. In an effort to draw attention to malnutrition in Latin American healthcare, a feedM.E. Latin American Study Group was formed to extend the reach and support the educational efforts of the feedM.E. Global Study Group. In this article, the feedM.E. Latin American Study Group shows that malnutrition incurs excessive costs to the healthcare systems, and the study group also presents evidence of how appropriate nutrition care can improve patients' clinical outcomes and lower healthcare costs. To achieve the benefits of nutrition for health throughout Latin America, the article presents feedM.E.'s simple and effective Nutrition Care Pathway in English and Spanish as a way to facilitate its use. © 2014 The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition
