    73 P?ginasSe evalu? el efecto de los tratamientos de ultrasonido, microondas y enzim?tico como procesamiento previo al m?todo por prensado para aumentar el rendimiento de extracci?n de la grasa de semilla de mango. Se trabajaron dos variedades de mango Kala Alphonso y Mariquita. Las muestras fueron expuestas a ultrasonido durante 1 h, con una amplitud de 100 % y ciclo de 1 s. El tratamiento con microondas se evalu? a una potencia de 100 W durante 15 y 30 min con intervalos de 5 min evitando la evaporaci?n del agua destilada. En el tratamiento con enzimas se incub? la muestra a 45?C durante 4 h. Los rendimientos se calcularon con base al contenido inicial de aceite determinados por el m?todo Soxhlet para cada variedad 12,0 % para Kala Alphonso y 11,35 % Mariquita. Los resultados mostraron que la semilla Kala Alphonso tratada con enzima present? mayor rendimiento de extracci?n con 33,36 % en comparaci?n con Mariquita (25,99 %). Con el tratamiento de ultrasonido, la variedad Kala Alphonso obtuvo el mayor rendimiento de extracci?n (16,02 %). En el tratamiento con microondas no se logr? obtener unas condiciones de procesamiento donde la exposici?n a la energ?a electromagn?tica no afectara la estructura de la semilla y se pudiera extraer grasa de semilla de mango. De igual forma se realizaron pruebas de extracci?n de componentes grasos por el m?todo de extrusi?n, donde no se obtuvo la separaci?n de la grasa de la semilla, por lo anterior puede explicarse en que este tipo de procesamiento es m?s eficaz cuando se trabaja con semillas con mayor contenido de aceite. Las pruebas de calidad determinaron que la grasa extra?da presenta caracter?sticas similares a grasas industriales, lo que permitir?a su posible futura aplicaci?n en diferentes industrias.ABSTRACT It was evaluated the ultrasound, microwaves and enzymatic treatment effects as previous processing to the press method in order to increase mango seed fat extraction performance. Two varieties of mango, Kala Alphonso and Mariquita, were subjected to different treatments. The samples were exposed to ultrasound waves during 1 h, with 100 % amplitude and 1 s cycle. The microwave treatment was evaluated at minimal power (100 W) during 15 and 30 min with 5 min intervals for avoiding distilled water evaporation. In the treatment with enzymes, the sample was incubated at 45?C during 4 h. The yield was analyzed based on the initial oil content measured by Soxhlet method, 12,0 % for Kala Alphonso and 11,35 % for Mariquita. The results showed that Kala Alphonso seed treated with enzyme had a higher yield with 33,36 % compared to Mariquita with 25,99 %. In the ultrasound treatment, the Kala Alphonso variety had the higher extraction performance (16,02 %). In the microwave treatment was not possible to obtain processing conditions that exposure to electromagnetic energy will not affect the seed structure and the extraction of fat mango kernel. It was also made fat extraction tests by the extrusion method, however it was not possible to obtain fat separation, this can be explained that extrusion processing is most effective with higher oil content seeds. The quality results showed that fat mango seed presented characteristics similar to other industrial fats, so it is possible used in different industries considering its high unsaturated fatty acid content. The mechanical press extraction is an efficient process for obtaining mango seed fat but it is required previous treatments, however this is a real possibility in order to add value to an industrial sub-product.INTRODUCCI?N 12 1.

    184 p. Recurso Electr?nicoEl presente proyecto de intervenci?n tiene como objetivo utilizar el subg?nero l?rico de la Oda como estrategia pedag?gica para fortalecer la comprensi?n lectora en estudiantes del grado s?ptimo de la INSTITUCI?N EDUCATIVA DEPARTAMENTAL GUSTAVO URIBE RAM?REZ, ubicada en el municipio de Granada Cundinamarca. Esta l?nea de acci?n surge de la observaci?n y an?lisis realizado, donde se identific? como problem?tica principal que el estudianteno entiende lo que lee, en consecuencia, no es capaz de comprender la tem?tica del texto, adem?s las estrategias del docente son poco llamativas. Metodol?gicamente esta investigaci?n se enmarca dentro del paradigma cualitativo, teniendo como base la IAP (investigaci?n acci?n participativa), debido a que el proceso ense?anza aprendizaje de la lectura significa el hecho de intercambiar y capturar experiencias en el lenguaje de los propios individuos, cu?les son susintereses y qu? implica el comprender la situaci?n y las condiciones del investigado. Para determinar la problem?tica y siguiendo la metodolog?a investigativa se llev? un proceso secuencial que permiti? obtener informaci?n: el Diario de campo dio vista global, el estudio de caso estableci? problem?ticas generales, la entrevista ampli? la magnitud del problema y el grupo focal determin? la falencia a fortalecer. El uso del subg?nero l?rico de la Oda es unametodolog?a innovadora; es un tipo de texto que requiere de una lectura inferencial para determinar el verdadero sentido de lo que est? plasmado, adem?s por su gran variedad de tem?ticas, contextos y estilos, permite el trabajo din?mico mediante nuevas estrategias que logran captar la atenci?n del estudiante.

This line of action arises from the observation and realized analysis, where there was identified as principal problematic that the student does not understand what he reads, in consequence, is not capable of understanding the subject matter of the text, in addition the slightly showy strategies of the educational sound. Methodologically this investigation places inside the qualitative paradigm, having as base the IAP (investigation participative action), due to the fact that the process education learning of the reading means the fact of exchanging and capturing experiences in the language of the own individuals, which are his interests and what implies understanding the situation and the conditions of the investigated one. To determine the problematic and following the methodology investigative one took a sequential process that allowed obtaining information: the Field diary gave global sight, the study of case established problematic personal details, the interview extended the magnitude of the problem and the focal group determined the failing to strengthen The use of the lyric subkind of the Ode is an innovative methodology; it is a type of text that it needs of a reading inferential to determine the real sense of what is formed, in addition for his great variety of subject matters, contexts and styles, allows the dynamic work by means of new strategies that manage to catch the attention of the student.

    Anti-tumour necrosis factor discontinuation in inflammatory bowel disease patients in remission: study protocol of a prospective, multicentre, randomized clinical trial

    Get PDF
    Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease who achieve remission with anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) drugs may have treatment withdrawn due to safety concerns and cost considerations, but there is a lack of prospective, controlled data investigating this strategy. The primary study aim is to compare the rates of clinical remission at 1?year in patients who discontinue anti-TNF treatment versus those who continue treatment. Methods: This is an ongoing, prospective, double-blind, multicentre, randomized, placebo-controlled study in patients with Crohn?s disease or ulcerative colitis who have achieved clinical remission for ?6?months with an anti-TNF treatment and an immunosuppressant. Patients are being randomized 1:1 to discontinue anti-TNF therapy or continue therapy. Randomization stratifies patients by the type of inflammatory bowel disease and drug (infliximab versus adalimumab) at study inclusion. The primary endpoint of the study is sustained clinical remission at 1?year. Other endpoints include endoscopic and radiological activity, patient-reported outcomes (quality of life, work productivity), safety and predictive factors for relapse. The required sample size is 194 patients. In addition to the main analysis (discontinuation versus continuation), subanalyses will include stratification by type of inflammatory bowel disease, phenotype and previous treatment. Biological samples will be obtained to identify factors predictive of relapse after treatment withdrawal. Results: Enrolment began in 2016, and the study is expected to end in 2020. Conclusions: This study will contribute prospective, controlled data on outcomes and predictors of relapse in patients with inflammatory bowel disease after withdrawal of anti-TNF agents following achievement of clinical remission.

    Preliminary safety and efficacy of first-line pertuzumab combined with trastuzumab and taxane therapy for HER2-positive locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer (PERUSE).

    Get PDF
    BACKGROUND: Pertuzumab combined with trastuzumab and docetaxel is the standard first-line therapy for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, based on results from the phase III CLEOPATRA trial. PERUSE was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of investigator-selected taxane with pertuzumab and trastuzumab in this setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In the ongoing multicentre single-arm phase IIIb PERUSE study, patients with inoperable HER2-positive advanced breast cancer (locally recurrent/metastatic) (LR/MBC) and no prior systemic therapy for LR/MBC (except endocrine therapy) received docetaxel, paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel with trastuzumab [8\u2009mg/kg loading dose, then 6\u2009mg/kg every 3\u2009weeks (q3w)] and pertuzumab (840\u2009mg loading dose, then 420\u2009mg q3w) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was safety. Secondary end points included overall response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS: Overall, 1436 patients received at least one treatment dose (initially docetaxel in 775 patients, paclitaxel in 589, nab-paclitaxel in 65; 7 discontinued before starting taxane). Median age was 54\u2009years; 29% had received prior trastuzumab. Median treatment duration was 16\u2009months for pertuzumab and trastuzumab and 4\u2009months for taxane. Compared with docetaxel-containing therapy, paclitaxel-containing therapy was associated with more neuropathy (all-grade peripheral neuropathy 31% versus 16%) but less febrile neutropenia (1% versus 11%) and mucositis (14% versus 25%). At this preliminary analysis (52 months' median follow-up), median PFS was 20.6 [95% confidence interval (CI) 18.9-22.7] months overall (19.6, 23.0 and 18.1\u2009months with docetaxel, paclitaxel and nab-paclitaxel, respectively). ORR was 80% (95% CI 78%-82%) overall (docetaxel 79%, paclitaxel 83%, nab-paclitaxel 77%). CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary findings from PERUSE suggest that the safety and efficacy of first-line pertuzumab, trastuzumab and taxane for HER2-positive LR/MBC are consistent with results from CLEOPATRA. Paclitaxel appears to be a valid alternative taxane backbone to docetaxel, offering similar PFS and ORR with a predictable safety profile. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV: NCT01572038

    Mortality and pulmonary complications in patients undergoing surgery with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection: an international cohort study

    Get PDF
    Background: The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on postoperative recovery needs to be understood to inform clinical decision making during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study reports 30-day mortality and pulmonary complication rates in patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: This international, multicentre, cohort study at 235 hospitals in 24 countries included all patients undergoing surgery who had SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed within 7 days before or 30 days after surgery. The primary outcome measure was 30-day postoperative mortality and was assessed in all enrolled patients. The main secondary outcome measure was pulmonary complications, defined as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or unexpected postoperative ventilation. Findings: This analysis includes 1128 patients who had surgery between Jan 1 and March 31, 2020, of whom 835 (74·0%) had emergency surgery and 280 (24·8%) had elective surgery. SARS-CoV-2 infection was confirmed preoperatively in 294 (26·1%) patients. 30-day mortality was 23·8% (268 of 1128). Pulmonary complications occurred in 577 (51·2%) of 1128 patients; 30-day mortality in these patients was 38·0% (219 of 577), accounting for 81·7% (219 of 268) of all deaths. In adjusted analyses, 30-day mortality was associated with male sex (odds ratio 1·75 [95% CI 1·28–2·40], p\textless0·0001), age 70 years or older versus younger than 70 years (2·30 [1·65–3·22], p\textless0·0001), American Society of Anesthesiologists grades 3–5 versus grades 1–2 (2·35 [1·57–3·53], p\textless0·0001), malignant versus benign or obstetric diagnosis (1·55 [1·01–2·39], p=0·046), emergency versus elective surgery (1·67 [1·06–2·63], p=0·026), and major versus minor surgery (1·52 [1·01–2·31], p=0·047). Interpretation: Postoperative pulmonary complications occur in half of patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection and are associated with high mortality. Thresholds for surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic should be higher than during normal practice, particularly in men aged 70 years and older. Consideration should be given for postponing non-urgent procedures and promoting non-operative treatment to delay or avoid the need for surgery.

    Design and baseline characteristics of the finerenone in reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in diabetic kidney disease trial

    Get PDF
    Background: Among people with diabetes, those with kidney disease have exceptionally high rates of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality and progression of their underlying kidney disease. Finerenone is a novel, nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that has shown to reduce albuminuria in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) while revealing only a low risk of hyperkalemia. However, the effect of finerenone on CV and renal outcomes has not yet been investigated in long-term trials. Patients and Methods: The Finerenone in Reducing CV Mortality and Morbidity in Diabetic Kidney Disease (FIGARO-DKD) trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of finerenone compared to placebo at reducing clinically important CV and renal outcomes in T2D patients with CKD. FIGARO-DKD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, event-driven trial running in 47 countries with an expected duration of approximately 6 years. FIGARO-DKD randomized 7,437 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate >= 25 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio >= 30 to <= 5,000 mg/g). The study has at least 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in the risk of the primary outcome (overall two-sided significance level alpha = 0.05), the composite of time to first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure. Conclusions: FIGARO-DKD will determine whether an optimally treated cohort of T2D patients with CKD at high risk of CV and renal events will experience cardiorenal benefits with the addition of finerenone to their treatment regimen.
