    Acta de congresoEl III Congreso Internacional de Vivienda y Ciudad “Debates en torno a la NUEVa Agenda Urbana”, ha sido una apuesta de alto compromiso por acercar los debates centrales y urgentes que tensionan el pleno ejercicio del derecho a la ciudad. Para ello las instituciones organizadoras (INVIHAB –Instituto de Investigación de Vivienda y Hábitat y MGyDH-Maestría en Gestión y Desarrollo Habitacional-1), hemos convidado un espacio que se concretó con potencia en un debate transdisciplinario. Convocó a intelectuales de prestigio internacional, investigadores, académicos y gestores estatales, y en una metodología de innovación articuló las voces académicas con las de las organizaciones sociales y/o barriales en el Foro de las Organizaciones Sociales que tuvo su espacio propio para dar voz a quienes están trabajando en los desafíos para garantizar los derechos a la vivienda y los bienes urbanos en nuestras ciudades del Siglo XXI

    Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat

    A detection method for infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) based on reverse transcription (RT)‐polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

    A rapid, sensitive and highly specific detection method for infectious pancreatic neerosis virus (IPNV), based on reverse transcription (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been developed. The specificity of the assay is provided by the oligonucleotide primers selected from the IPNV major capsid polypeptide VP2 gene. For each primer combination only one major product is obtained when amplifieation is performed using IPNV double‐stranded RNA from two different viral strains, Sp and VR‐299, as the initial template. No products were detected when genomie nueleic acids other than IPNV RNA were used as RT‐PCR templates. The specificity of the amplification products were confirmed by Southern hybridization using a specific cDNA probe. To assess the sensitivity of the method, dilutions of purified IPNV dsRNA total genome were amplified and quantities of as little as 1 pg of purified dsRNA were detected when the amplification product was visualized by silver‐stained polyacrylamidc gel electrophoresis. This technique detected IPNV directly in infected coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum), and rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), tissues and fish egg samples, avoiding viral propagation in cell culture. The results show that this RT‐PCR amplification method is useful for the direct tissue detection of IPN

    Migraciones sur-sur : Paradojas globales y promesas locales

    Durante la primera década del siglo XX el 90% de los migrantes provenía de Europa y se dirigía a cinco países: EEUU, Argentina, Canadá, Brasil y Australia. Hoy esa misma proporción de migrantes proviene de tres continentes: Asia, África y Latinoamérica y se dirige a cuatro grandes regiones: Europa, Norteamérica, Asia Pacífico y El Golfo Pérsico. Las migraciones se han mundializado no tanto por la magnitud de los flujos, que sigue estando por debajo del 5% de la población mundial, sino por el reducido número de países que hoy permanece al margen de las redes migratorias. Estas realidades crecientes crean las condiciones para que los potenciales migrantes en países empobrecidos y en proceso de empobrecimiento quieran migrar. A esto precisamente apuntó Joaquín Arango cuando definió nuestra época como el tiempo de la inmovilidad involuntaria
