Case report: Diagnostic reconceptualization in the DSM-V on somatoform disorders

Psychosomatic disorders are among the most common psychiatric disorders in general practice, with a prevalence of 16%. These patients often turn to different general practitioners and/or non-psychiatric specialists for long periods of time and represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, as the possible organic component makes it complex and difficult to manage. The reported case is a 24-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of Somatic Symptoms Disorder and multiple psychiatric comorbidities. The purpose of this study is to review the reconceptualization of Somatoform Disorders’ DSM-5 diagnosis, which can be useful for psychiatrists and non-psychiatric physicians for the approach and management of these patients

Challenges in the COVID-19 vaccination era: Prioritization of vaccines among essential workers in Mexico

The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic gave rise to a massive global health concern that has placed an unprecedented strain on healthcare systems, education and economy. The recent vaccine roll-out gave humanity a glimpse of hope. However, more than 50% of the vaccine supply has been acquired by high-income countries, forcing low- and middle-income countries to prioritize who should be vaccinated. In Mexico, the first phase of the vaccination program prioritized healthcare personnel working in front-line COVID-19 public institutions. The second phase was planned for the remaining healthcare workers attending at both COVID and non-COVID areas. The government, however, aiming to reopen schools, decided to vaccinate teachers instead. This raised several concerns, since Mexico tops the ranking of deaths among healthcare workers due to COVID-19 worldwide. Furthermore, the possible framing of vaccines as a political tool has caused commotion among the Mexican people and media, especially since 2021 is the Midterm Election year in Mexico, and the Teachers’ Union has historically played an essential role in this matter. Therefore, it is relevant to share the vaccination experience in resource-constrained settings to provide help and advice to reach an optimal strategy and deflate this pandemic

\u3cem\u3eAcacia cochliacantha\u3c/em\u3e Control in Buffel Grass Pastures at Alamos, Sonora, Mexico

Chirahui (Acacia cochliacantha) is an aggressive tall-shrub which invades buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) in the short jungle area of Southern Sonora, Mexico. As brush invasion takes over the pastures buffelgrass forage production declines and spiny brush species interferes with cattle grazing (Martin et al., 1995). Manual brush control practices are common in the area but are normally ineffective because plants re-sprout back and reinvade pastures. Tordon 101 herbicide (64.0 g a.i./l Picloram + 240.0 g a.i/l 2,4-D) has been widely used for brush control in northern Mexico but it is expensive and is planned to go out of the market soon. Prado herbicide (621.3 g a.i./kg. Amynopyralid + 94.5 g a.i./kg. Metsulfuron metil) is a new and economic product released from Dow Agrosciences in Mexico but no local data is available for its use. This study was conducted in summer of 2011 to evaluate the efficiency of Prado herbicide and manual control by machete to reduce chirahui populations

Design and Implementation of a Demonstrative Palletizer Robot with Navigation for Educational Purposes

Nowadays, many kinds of robots are used in industries to help in manufacturing or placing objects. However, teaching young people and children about robot design and work can be difficult, turning this into a complicated area for them. This chapter provides a detailed description of the design and implementation of a robotic arm mounted on a mobile robot using the LEGO Mindstorms NXT kit® and the starter kit DaNI 2.0, designed by National Instruments®. The mobile palletizer robot takes a box from place A and navigates in the indoor environment until it reaches a predefined place B. The characterization of the robotic arm is based on a parallel structure considering that the end-effector has only two points to hold the object; the gripper is also built using LEGO®. The robot performs the path computed using an A-star algorithm; moreover, actions like moving up and down, opening and closing the gripper and picking up the box and putting it down are executed by the robotic arm using the central unit of the NXT kit. Each stage of the robot design and implementation is explained in detail using diagrams and 3D graphical views with the aim of illustrating the implementation step by step for educational purposes (mainly for young people or children)

Evaluación in vitro del efecto antagonista de bacterias marinas contra Vibrio parahaemolyticus AHPND

Dentro del sector acuícola, uno de los mayores sectores de producción de alimentos es el cultivo de camarón, sin embargo, se ha visto afectado por enfermedades, entre ellas la Enfermedad de la Necrosis Aguda del Hepatopáncreas (AHPND, por sus siglas en inglés) la cual es causada por Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Un método alternativo para controlar el agente causal es la aplicación de probióticos, los cuales, al ser consumidos por el camarón, le confieren un mecanismo de defensa frente a patógenos. En esta investigación se evaluaron ecosistemas marinos y se aislaron bacterias marinas las cuales, con la prueba de difusión en pozo, mostraron un efecto antagónico en contra de la cepa patógena de camarón, donde se observaron halos de inhibición desde 1cm hasta casi 4 cm de diámetro; además, se caracterizaron estas bacterias por un perfil bioquímico con el sistema API BioMérieux y por secuenciación del gen 16S rADN donde se presentaron los géneros Shewanella sp., Vibrio sp. y Bacillus sp. Es de suma importancia la capacidad que presentan estas bacterias para ser potencialmente utilizadas como una medida profiláctica y/o terapéutica en granjas camaronícolas.In the aquaculture sector, one of the largest sectors of food production is shrimp farming, however, it has been affected by diseases, including Acute Hepatopancreas Necrosis Disease (AHPND). which is caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus. An alternative method to control the pathogen is the application of probiotics, when consumed by the shrimp, give it a defense mechanism against pathogens. In this investigation marine ecosystems were evaluated and marine bacteria were isolated which, with the well diffusion test, showed an antagonistic effect against the pathogenic shrimp strain, where inhibition halos were observed from 1cm to almost 4 cm in diameter; In addition, these bacteria were characterized by a biochemical profile with the BioMérieux API system and by sequencing the 16S rDNA gene where the genera Shewanella sp., Vibrio sp. and Bacillus sp. The ability of these bacteria to be potentially used as a prophylactic and / or therapeutic measure in shrimp farms is of paramount importance
