Consenso colombiano de atención, diagnóstico y manejo de la infección por SARS-COV-2/COVID-19 en establecimientos de atención de la salud Recomendaciones basadas en consenso de expertos e informadas en la evidencia

The “Asociación Colombiana de Infectología” (ACIN) and the “Instituto de Evaluación de Nuevas Tecnologías de la Salud” (IETS) created a task force to develop recommendations for Covid 19 health care diagnosis, management and treatment informed, and based, on evidence. Theses reccomendations are addressed to the health personnel on the Colombian context of health services. © 2020 Asociacion Colombiana de Infectologia. All rights reserved

Disposable sensors in diagnostics, food and environmental monitoring

Disposable sensors are low‐cost and easy‐to‐use sensing devices intended for short‐term or rapid single‐point measurements. The growing demand for fast, accessible, and reliable information in a vastly connected world makes disposable sensors increasingly important. The areas of application for such devices are numerous, ranging from pharmaceutical, agricultural, environmental, forensic, and food sciences to wearables and clinical diagnostics, especially in resource‐limited settings. The capabilities of disposable sensors can extend beyond measuring traditional physical quantities (for example, temperature or pressure); they can provide critical chemical and biological information (chemo‐ and biosensors) that can be digitized and made available to users and centralized/decentralized facilities for data storage, remotely. These features could pave the way for new classes of low‐cost systems for health, food, and environmental monitoring that can democratize sensing across the globe. Here, a brief insight into the materials and basics of sensors (methods of transduction, molecular recognition, and amplification) is provided followed by a comprehensive and critical overview of the disposable sensors currently used for medical diagnostics, food, and environmental analysis. Finally, views on how the field of disposable sensing devices will continue its evolution are discussed, including the future trends, challenges, and opportunities

Colombian consensus recommendations for diagnosis, management and treatment of the infection by SARS-COV-2/ COVID-19 in health care facilities - Recommendations from expert´s group based and informed on evidence

La Asociación Colombiana de Infectología (ACIN) y el Instituto de Evaluación de Nuevas Tecnologías de la Salud (IETS) conformó un grupo de trabajo para desarrollar recomendaciones informadas y basadas en evidencia, por consenso de expertos para la atención, diagnóstico y manejo de casos de Covid 19. Estas guías son dirigidas al personal de salud y buscar dar recomendaciones en los ámbitos de la atención en salud de los casos de Covid-19, en el contexto nacional de Colombia

Intervención para el fortalecimiento de la participación comunitaria

This document contains the synthesis of the research "Intervention for the strengthening of volunteer participation in Canton Gonzanamá, province of Loja, in community work from the beginning of self- development," carried out within the framework of the Master's in Community Development of the University National of Loja. Its purpose is to make known the difficulties generated by the weak participation of the members of the communities. This research was developed from the perspective and methodology offered by the Community Self-Development, the same that through field work, with the community and volunteering, it was determined with critical awareness the little understanding of what is participation, the low level educational, the lack of tools to face a demanding public, ignorance of their role, results that have allowed the community work process to float; therefore it is determined that the communities need to be the object of intervention for the strengthening of them.Este documento contém a síntese da pesquisa "Intervenção para o fortalecimento da participação voluntária em Canton Gonzanamá, província de Loja, em trabalho comunitário desde o início do autodesenvolvimento", realizado no âmbito do Mestrado em Desenvolvimento Comunitário da Universidade Nacional de Loja. O objetivo é divulgar as dificuldades geradas pela fraca participação dos membros das comunidades. Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir da perspectiva e metodologia oferecida pelo Auto-Desenvolvimento Comunitário, o mesmo que através do trabalho de campo, com a comunidade e o voluntariado, foi determinado com consciência crítica a pouca compreensão do que é a participação, o baixo nível educacional, a falta de ferramentas para enfrentar um público exigente, a ignorância de seu papel, os resultados que permitiram que o processo de trabalho da comunidade flutuasse; portanto, é determinado que as comunidades precisam ser objeto de intervenção para o fortalecimento delas.Este documento contiene la síntesis de la investigación “Intervención para el fortalecimiento de la participación del voluntariado del Cantón Gonzanamá, provincia de Loja, en el trabajo comunitario desde el principio del autodesarrollo”, realizado en el marco de la Maestría en Desarrollo Comunitario de la Universidad Nacional de Loja. Cuyo propósito es dar a conocer las dificultades que generan la débil participación de los integrantes de las comunidades. Esta  investigación fue desarrollada desde la perspectiva y metodología que nos ofrece el Autodesarrollo Comunitario, el mismo que a través del trabajo de campo, con la comunidad y voluntariado, se determinó con conciencia crítica la poca comprensión de lo que es la participación, el bajo nivel educativo, la falta de herramientas para enfrentarse a un público exigente, desconocimiento de su rol, resultados que han permitido que los proceso de trabajo comunitario queden flotando; por lo tanto se determinan que las comunidades necesitan ser objeto de intervención para el fortalecimiento de las mismas.    

Rotavirus infection in Neonatal Intermediate Care Unit

Rotavirus acute gastroenteritis, continues to be one of the most common cause of morbidity in children younger than 2 years of age. However, it is not often to report outbreaks in neonatal intensive care units. The aim of this paper was to describe the epidemiological investigation of a Rotavirus outbreak, the viral transmission between infants and the control measures taken. Materials and Methods: An outbrake study was performed in a neonatal intermediate care unit due to the presence of Rotavirus gastroenteritis cases. Results: We identified 3 rotavirus gastroenteritis cases confirmed by direct antigen detection, the source could not be identified. Discussion: We considered a transmission mechanism of propagated source because infected people excreted large number of viral particles and cause widespread environmental contamination. Conclusion: Quickly case identification and implemented implemen- tation of control measures prevent new cases and limits the spread of the outbreak
