Dimensiones del arco posterior de C2 para el guiado de tornillos translaminares. Estudio radiológico en población española
Background. To describe the feasibility of the posterior
arch of C2 accepting two crossing screws in the Spanish
population.
Methods. One hundred and fifty patients who underwent
a routine neck CT scan for non-cervical pathology were
enrolled. Submillimeter slices (thickness 0.7 mm) every
0.4 mm were performed with a 64 multi-detector CT scan,
which allows isometric measurements. We measured the
length and height of the cortical and cancellous (endomedullar) region of the lamina and the spinous process,
inclination, maximal screw length and spinolaminar angle.
Results. The average (standard deviation) measurements
of the lamina were: width of the left cortical 7.2 (1.5) mm,
right cortical 6.9 (1.3) mm, width of the cancellous part of
the left lamina 4.8 (1.5) mm, right side 4.6 (1.4) mm. The
mean left cortical height was 13.0 (1.5) mm and 13.1 (1.6)
mm for the right. The mean height of the cancellous part
was 9.0 mm for both sides. The average measurements of
the spinous process were: cortical length 15.7 (3.5) mm,
endomedullar length 12.5 (3.9) mm; cortical height 11.9
(2.2) mm, endomedullar height 8.4 (2.1) mm; spinolaminar angle 49º (4); the maximum screw length 3.18 cm, and
the inclination angle 143º.
Conclusion. A CT scan with submillimeter slices is necessary in order to avoid malpositioning of the screws. The
outer cortical measurements are 2 to 4 mm bigger than
the endomedullar ones. Taking into account the dimensions of the spinous process, 24% of the population would
not be candidates for this crossing screw technique.Fundamento. Describir la capacidad del arco posterior
de C2 en población española para colocar dos tornillos
cruzados translaminares.
Método. Se reclutaron 150 pacientes a los que se les realizó un escáner del cuello por patología no cervical. Para
el estudio se utilizó un 64 multi-detector TAC realizando
cortes submilimétricos (0,7 mm de grosor) cada 0,4 mm,
permitiendo obtener medidas isométricas. Se midieron
anchura y altura cortical y endomedular de la lámina y
de la espinosa, inclinación de la lámina, máxima longitud
de tornillo y ángulo espinolaminar.
Resultados. Las media (desviación estándar) de las medidas de la lámina fueron: anchura cortical izquierda 7.2
(1,5) mm, cortical derecho 6,9 (1,3) mm, anchura endomedular izquierda 4,8 (1,5) mm, derecha 4,6 (1,4) mm La
altura media cortical izquierda fue 13,0 (1,5) mm y de 13,1
(1,6) mm para la derecha. La altura media endomedular
fue de 9,0 mm en ambos lados. Las medidas medias de la
espinosa fueron: longitud media cortical 15,7 (3,5) mm,
longitud endomedular 12,5 (3,9) mm; altura cortical 11,9
(2,2) mm, altura endomedular de 8,4 (2,1) mm; ángulo espinolaminar 49º (4); la longitud máxima de tornillo 3,18
cm; y el ángulo de inclinación 143º.
Conclusiones. Para evitar la colocación errónea de los tornillos es necesario un estudio de TAC con cortes submilimétricos. La diferencia entre las medidas corticales y endomedulares oscila entre 2 y 4 mm. Teniendo en cuenta las dimensiones
de la espinosa, un 24% de la población no sería candidato a
esta técnica de tornillos cruzados translaminares
Prognostic impact of bone marrow fibrosis in primary myelodysplastic syndromes
La mielofibrosis (MF) se observa en el 10-20% de los pacientes con síndrome mielodisplásico (SMD). Su presencia es reconocida como un hallazgo histológico adverso asociado a curso agresivo, fallo medular temprano, sobrevida acortada y evolución leucémica.El objetivo fue examinar la influencia de la MF (MF ≥1) en la sobrevida global (SG) y su asociacióncon variables clínicas e histopatológicas.Se identificaron 468 pacientes con SMD incluidos en el Registro Argentino de SMD de 2007 a 2017.La mediana de SG del subgrupo MF ≥1 fue de 20,1 meses (IC 95%: 10,1-30,0) versus 67,6 meses (IC95% 45,1-90,3) del subgrupo MF-0 (p2 (HR 2,07, 95% IC 1,44-2,96; p5% (HR 2,94,IC 95% 2,06-4,20; p3 (HR 2,17; IC 95%: 1,48-3,19;p1000 ug/L (OR 3,41; p= 0,006) y la localización eritroide atípica (OR 2,65; p=0,004) se asociaron significativamente con la presencia de MF ≥1.Los resultados destacan la presencia de MF ≥1 como un factor pronóstico adverso para la supervivencia en SMD, asociado con hiperferritinemia y alteración de la localización de la progenie eritroide en la MO.Myelofibrosis (MF) is observed in 10-20% of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The presence of MF has been recognized as an adverse histological finding associated with an aggressive course including early bone marrow (BM) failure, shortened survival and leukemic evolution. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of the myelofibrosis (MF ≥1) in the overall survival (OS) and its association with clinical and histopathologic variables. We identified 468 MDS patients who were included in the Argentinian Registry of MDS from 2007 to 2017. The median OS for the MF≥1 subgroup was 20.1 months (95% CI 10.1-30.0) versus 67.6 months (95% CI 45.1-90.3) for the MF-0 subgroup (p2 (HR 2.07, 95% CI 1.44-2.96; p5% (HR 2.94, 95% CI 2.06-4.20; p3 (HR 2.17, 95% CI 1.48- 3.19; p 1000 ug/L (OR 3.41; p=0.006) and the atypical erythroid localization (OR 2.65; p=0.004) were significantly associated with the presence of MF ≥1. Our results highlight the presence of any grade of myelofibrosis as an independent adverse prognostic factor for survival in MDS, associated with higher ferritin level and abnormal erythroid localization in the BM.Fil: Russo, Maria Florencia.

Rarity of monodominance in hyperdiverse Amazonian forests.
Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such "monodominant" forests are known from all of the main tropical regions. For Amazonia, we sampled the occurrence of monodominance in a massive, basin-wide database of forest-inventory plots from the Amazon Tree Diversity Network (ATDN). Utilizing a simple defining metric of at least half of the trees ≥ 10 cm diameter belonging to one species, we found only a few occurrences of monodominance in Amazonia, and the phenomenon was not significantly linked to previously hypothesized life history traits such wood density, seed mass, ectomycorrhizal associations, or Rhizobium nodulation. In our analysis, coppicing (the formation of sprouts at the base of the tree or on roots) was the only trait significantly linked to monodominance. While at specific locales coppicing or ectomycorrhizal associations may confer a considerable advantage to a tree species and lead to its monodominance, very few species have these traits. Mining of the ATDN dataset suggests that monodominance is quite rare in Amazonia, and may be linked primarily to edaphic factors
Más allá del imaginario eurocéntrico empoderamiento de la mujer indígena
El presente libro recaba, en su mayoría, los trabajos presentados en el Simposium denominado: “Empoderamiento de la mujer indígena”. Más allá del eurocentrismo ideológico y estético, presentado en el Primer Congreso Internacional: Los Pueblos Indígenas de América Latina, siglos XIX-XXI, Avances, perspectivas y retos, realizado en la ciudad de Oaxaca, México, del 28 al 31 de octubre del año 2013. De igual manera se presenta el perfil del docente indígena, situación muy compleja, pues de alguna manera aquel docente que decide involucrarse en esta perspectiva, se ve obligado a romper con el estilo de pensamientos acostumbrados, teniendo que transformar no sólo sus condiciones físicas y ambientales, sino también de pensamiento, pues si el deseo es de cubrir de forma decorosa la encomienda, debe de adentrarse a la forma de vida de la comunidad en donde se encontrará inserto, teniendo que lidiar, quizá, con la cosmovisión, con la cosmogonía y demás variantes ideológicas que definen a dicha comunidad, sin olvidar, claro está, el idioma, lengua o dialecto que en ella se habla, ello si no se conoce.El abordaje de temas como género, sustentabilidad, desarrollo rural, educación, estética, entre otros, desde la perspectiva indígena, es un reto interdisciplinar, étnico y sociocultural complejo, ya que implica entre otros aspectos el genérico y el genealógico. Cuando el origen no es indígena, generalmente se presenta un rompimiento de ciertas estructuras mentales, cognitivas e ideológicas además de emocionales. El presente documento pretender ofrecer una visión compartida sobre la participación de la mujer en el desarrollo local de comunidades indígenas a partir de proyectos turísticos, alimenticios y de diseño textil, dando así reconocimiento a la "otra estética", la que deriva del reconocimiento de un cuerpo totalmente distinto al concepto eurocéntrico de una corporeidad ideal. Asimismo se dará a conocer el perfil del profesor indígena en el Estado de México.UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DEL ESTADO DE MÉXIC
The Acute Optic Neuritis Network (ACON): Study protocol of a non-interventional prospective multicenter study on diagnosis and treatment of acute optic neuritis
Optic neuritis (ON) often occurs at the presentation of multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). The recommended treatment of high-dose corticosteroids for ON is based on a North American study population, which did not address treatment timing or antibody serostatus. The Acute Optic Neuritis Network (ACON) presents a global, prospective, observational study protocol primarily designed to investigate the effect of time to high-dose corticosteroid treatment on 6-month visual outcomes in ON. Patients presenting within 30 days of the inaugural ON will be enrolled. For the primary analysis, patients will subsequently be assigned into the MS-ON group, the aquapotin-4-IgG positive ON (AQP4-IgG+ON) group or the MOG-IgG positive ON (MOG-IgG+ON) group and then further sub-stratified according to the number of days from the onset of visual loss to high-dose corticosteroids (days-to-Rx). The primary outcome measure will be high-contrast best-corrected visual acuity (HC-BCVA) at 6 months. In addition, multimodal data will be collected in subjects with any ON (CIS-ON, MS-ON, AQP4-IgG+ON or MOG-IgG+ON, and seronegative non-MS-ON), excluding infectious and granulomatous ON. Secondary outcomes include low-contrast best-corrected visual acuity (LC-BCVA), optical coherence tomography (OCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements, serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers (AQP4-IgG and MOG-IgG levels, neurofilament, and glial fibrillary protein), and patient reported outcome measures (headache, visual function in daily routine, depression, and quality of life questionnaires) at presentation at 6-month and 12-month follow-up visits. Data will be collected from 28 academic hospitals from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, South America, and Australia. Planned recruitment consists of 100 MS-ON, 50 AQP4-IgG+ON, and 50 MOG-IgG+ON. This prospective, multimodal data collection will assess the potential value of early high-dose corticosteroid treatment, investigate the interrelations between functional impairments and structural changes, and evaluate the diagnostic yield of laboratory biomarkers. This analysis has the ability to substantially improve treatment strategies and the accuracy of diagnostic stratification in acute demyelinating ON

Estimating the global conservation status of more than 15,000 Amazonian tree species
Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare and not often incorporated into land-use policy and conservation planning. We overlay spatial distribution models with historical and projected deforestation to show that at least 36% and up to 57% of all Amazonian tree species are likely to qualify as globally threatened under International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria. If confirmed, these results would increase the number of threatened plant species on Earth by 22%. We show that the trends observed in Amazonia apply to trees throughout the tropics, and we predict thatmost of the world’s >40,000 tropical tree species now qualify as globally threatened. A gap analysis suggests that existing Amazonian protected areas and indigenous territories will protect viable populations of most threatened species if these areas suffer no further degradation, highlighting the key roles that protected areas, indigenous peoples, and improved governance can play in preventing large-scale extinctions in the tropics in this century
