Programa de Evaluación Genética de caracteres productivos, adaptativos y de comportamiento, en bovinos de carne para áreas desfavorecidas

La producción de carne bovina en áreas subtropical y templadas cálidas se ve afectada en cantidad y calidad debido a las condiciones de calor y humedad a lo largo del año. Las razas tradicionales son las que más sufren esa condición climática y por otra parte, las razas y/o cruzas más adaptadas muestran problemas de calidad de carne, menor precocidad reproductiva y de temperamento. Las razas bovinas de origen índico y africano muestran mayor adaptación al estrés térmico y las razas británicas son más susceptibles aunque existe variación individual. Los indicadores climáticos de estrés térmico son variados, aunque humedad relativa del ambiente y temperatura son los más importantes. En el animal se pueden realizar diversos ensayos que incluyen toma de información de temperatura corporal profunda y frecuencia respiratoria. Dichos ensayos permiten clasificar a los animales como resistentes o susceptibles al estrés térmico. Una raza sanga de origen africano (Tuli) y sus cruzas se están ensayando en la UCC como parte de la búsqueda de soluciones a los problemas planteados anteriormente. Los objetivos son: Implementar un sistema de evaluación genética para seleccionar una población bovina de carne adaptada a condiciones de estrés térmico. Estudiar atributos anátomo-fisiológicos y mecanismos de reacción fisiológica de adaptación a dicho estrés y describir el temperamento de la raza Tuli y sus cruzas, relacionándolo con producción, estrés y calidad de carne. Estimar parámetros genéticos poblacionales. Estudiar por medio de evaluación ecográfica diferencias entre animales de distintas razas en área de ojo de bife y espesor de grasa dorsal. Los animales a utilizar en este trabajo pertenecen a las razas Tuli puros, Aberdeen Angus, Hereford, cruzas F1, cruzas inter sé de las F1 (San Ignacio).Fil: Frank, Eduardo Narciso.

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

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
