NutreDog. Autonomous dog food dispenser with web application for administration and monitoring at home.

The population dynamics at the beginning of the 21st century have shown a reduction in the average number of people per family and an increase in the number of households that decide to adopt one or more pets as additional companions. According to the BrandStrat company, six out of ten Colombian households have at least one pet [1], with Bogotá, Medellín and Cali being at the top of the cities. Considering that pets, being domestic animals, do not have the ability to meet some of their own needs such as food without human help, it is important that owners can guarantee the nutritional care of the pet, offering adequate portions of food within hours. However, this task can be difficult when you have many occupations, work responsibilities or trips in which it is not possible to take the pet with you. In this project, therefore, an intelligent device is developed capable of dispensing canine food automatically following a diet previously agreed with the owner automatically or manually, designed mainly for homes where the person responsible for pet care must be absent. for long hours in the house and want to guarantee and monitor that the animal is fed properly.La dinámica poblacional de inicios del siglo XXI, ha mostrado una reducción en el número promedio de personas por familia y un aumento en el número de hogares que deciden adoptar una o más mascotas como compañía adicional. Según la empresa BrandStrat, seis de cada diez hogares colombianos tienen al menos una mascota [1], siendo Bogotá, Medellín y Cali, las ciudades con más acogida. Considerando que las mascotas, al ser animales domésticos, no tienen la capacidad de suplir algunas de sus propias necesidades como la alimentación sin la ayuda humana, es importante que los dueños puedan garantizar el cuidado nutricional de la mascota, ofreciéndole porciones adecuadas de alimento en horas específicas, sin embargo, esta tarea puede resultar complicada cuando se tienen muchas ocupaciones, responsabilidades laborales o viajes en los que no es posible llevar a la mascota consigo. En este proyecto, por tanto, se desarrolla un dispositivo inteligente capaz de dispensar comida para caninos de manera automática siguiendo una dieta previamente acordada con el dueño de manera automática o manual, proyectado principalmente para hogares en donde el responsable del cuidado de la mascota deba ausentarse por largas jornadas de la vivienda y quiera garantizar y vigilar que su animal se alimente de manera adecuada

Global attitudes in the management of acute appendicitis during COVID-19 pandemic: ACIE Appy Study

Background: Surgical strategies are being adapted to face the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations on the management of acute appendicitis have been based on expert opinion, but very little evidence is available. This study addressed that dearth with a snapshot of worldwide approaches to appendicitis. Methods: The Association of Italian Surgeons in Europe designed an online survey to assess the current attitude of surgeons globally regarding the management of patients with acute appendicitis during the pandemic. Questions were divided into baseline information, hospital organization and screening, personal protective equipment, management and surgical approach, and patient presentation before versus during the pandemic. Results: Of 744 answers, 709 (from 66 countries) were complete and were included in the analysis. Most hospitals were treating both patients with and those without COVID. There was variation in screening indications and modality used, with chest X-ray plus molecular testing (PCR) being the commonest (19\ub78 per cent). Conservative management of complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis was used by 6\ub76 and 2\ub74 per cent respectively before, but 23\ub77 and 5\ub73 per cent, during the pandemic (both P < 0\ub7001). One-third changed their approach from laparoscopic to open surgery owing to the popular (but evidence-lacking) advice from expert groups during the initial phase of the pandemic. No agreement on how to filter surgical smoke plume during laparoscopy was identified. There was an overall reduction in the number of patients admitted with appendicitis and one-third felt that patients who did present had more severe appendicitis than they usually observe. Conclusion: Conservative management of mild appendicitis has been possible during the pandemic. The fact that some surgeons switched to open appendicectomy may reflect the poor guidelines that emanated in the early phase of SARS-CoV-2
