Aprendizajes y trayectorias del sector agroalimentario mexicano durante el TLCAN

Ante la firma del Tratado México, Estados Unidos y Canadá (T-MEC), es importante hacer un balance de los efectos que dejó tras de sí el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN) en el sector agropecuario. Por ello, connotados especialistas analizan factores socioeconómicos del sistema agroalimentario mexicano en el contexto de las relaciones comerciales con Estados Unidos y Canadá. Los 10 estudios que contiene el libro Aprendizajes y trayectorias del sector agroalimentario mexicano durante el TLCAN son de gran valía para la obtención de conocimiento especializado para comprender críticamente las lógicas, trayectorias, evolución y comportamientos de las cadenas productivas a la luz de la firma de los tratados comerciales de América del Norte, así como sus efectos en el campo mexicano, territorios rurales y consumidoresFinanciación del Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura en colaboración con autore

First documented predation of a Baird’s tapir by a jaguar in the Calakmul region, Mexico

To date, records of predation on Baird’s tapir (Tapirus bairdii) by jaguars (Panthera onca) were anecdotal and did not allow for differentiation regarding whether the animal had been preyed upon or scavenged. Here, we present the first documented event of predation on a Baird’s tapir by a jaguar in the Calakmul region, Campeche, Mexico. In August 2017, we observed a jaguar eating a juvenile female Baird’s tapir; when we analysed the skull, we observed the characteristic “lethal bite” with which jaguars kill their prey by piercing the temporal and parietal bones with their canine teeth. Jaguars select to attack tapirs when they are most vulnerable (young or sick). Records of these type of events are important for understanding the food webs and ecology of these iconic Neotropical species that inhabit the Mesoamerican forests

Microbiological screening test validation for detection of tylosin excretion in milk of cows with low and high somatic cell counts

Antibiotic residues in milk above tolerance levels interfere with dairy product processing and pose potential health risks to consumers. Residue avoidance programmes include, among other components, the observance of withdrawal times indicated in label instructions. Persistence of antibiotics in milk following treatment is influenced by drug, dosage, route of administration, body weight and mammary gland health status. Compositional changes that take place during intramammary infection (IMI) can affect antibiotic excretion in milk, thus modifying milk withdrawal time. The objectives of this study were to validate sensitivity and specificity of a qualitative microbiological method (Charm® AIM-96) to detect tylosin in bovine composite milk and to determine the influence of subclinical IMI in tylosin excretion following intramuscular administration. For test validation, two groups of approximately 120 cows were used; one received a single intramuscular injection of tylosin tartrate at a dose of 20 mg/kg, while the other group remained as untreated control. Test sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 94.1% respectively. To determine the influence of subclinical IMI in tylosin excretion, two groups of seven cows, one with somatic cell counts (SCC) ≤250 000 cells/ml and the other with SCC ≥900 000, were administered a single intramuscular injection of tylosin tartrate at a dose of 20 mg/kg. Milk samples were obtained every 12 h for 10 days following treatment. Milk tylosin excretion averaged between 5 and 9 days for cows with low and high SCC respectively (P < 0.0001). Compositional changes in cows with high SCC most likely affect the pharmacokinetic characteristics of tylosin, extending the presence of the antibiotic in milk, thus influencing milk withdrawal times.Fil: Litterio, Nicolás Javier.

KCTD5, a novel TRPM4-regulatory protein required for cell migration as a new predictor for breast cancer prognosis

Transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a Ca2+-activated nonselective cationic channel that regulates cell migration and contractility. Increased TRPM4 expression has been related to pathologies, in which cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell migration are altered, such as metastatic cancer. Here, we identify the K+ channel tetramerization domain 5 (KCTD5) protein, a putative adaptor of cullin3 E3 ubiquitin ligase, as a novel TRPM4-interacting protein. We demonstrate that KCTD5 is a positive regulator of TRPM4 activity by enhancing its Ca2+ sensitivity. We show that through its effects on TRPM4 that KCTD5 promotes cell migration and contractility. Finally, we observed that both TRPM4 and KCTD5 expression are increased in distinct patterns in different classes of breast cancer tumor samples. Together, these data support that TRPM4 activity can be regulated through expression levels of either TRPM4 or KCTD5, not only contributing to increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved on the regulation of these important ion channels, but also providing information that could inform treatments based on targeting these distinct molecules that define TRPM4 activity.Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT) CONICYT FONDECYT 1160518 11170291 11170223 1171155 1190806 1160900 1181263 Iniciativa Cientifica Mileni

El hombre y los Andes. Tomo II

Este libro reúne las propuestas de destacados Investigadores de los Andes, quienes, como un homenaje académico en honor de Franklin Pease García Yrigoyen, fueron convocados a presentar trabajos originales en sus respectivos campos de investigación. Los estudios compilados abarcan nn amplio espectro temático une examina la historiografía, la literatura, las fuentes y la arqueologia andinas, asi como el Tahuantinsuyo, el virreinato, los inicios de la república y el siglo XX en la historia del Perú. La búsqueda de una identidad colectiva y la propuesta de un mundo mejor están presentes en luda la obra de Franklin Pease G.Y., uno de los más influyentes estudiosos de la tradición historiográfica peruana del siglo XX; similar espíritu es tabién el que anima a los colaboradores de este homenaje.

Gender differences and management of stroke risk of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in an upper middle-income country: Insights from the CARMEN-AF registry

Background: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke and systemic embolism. Several studies have suggested that female AF patients could have a greater risk for stroke. There is scarce information about clinical characteristics and use of antithrombotic therapies in Latin American patients with nonvalvular AF. Objective: To describe the gender differences in clinical characteristics, thromboembolic risk, and antithrombotic therapy of patients with nonvalvular AF recruited in Mexico, an upper middle-income country, into the prospective national CARMEN-AF Registry. Methods: A total of 1423 consecutive patients, with at least one thromboembolic risk factor were enrolled in CARMEN-AF Registry during a three-year period (2014–2017). They were categorized according to Gender. Results: Overall, 48.6% were women, mean age 70 ± 12 years. Diabetes, smoking, alcoholism, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, and obstructive sleep apnea were higher in men. Most women were found with paroxysmal AF (40.6%), and most men with permanent AF (44.0%). No gender differences were found in the use of vitamin K antagonists (VKA) (30.5% in women vs. 28.0% in men). No gender differences were found in the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) (33.8% women vs 35.4% men). Conclusions: CARMEN-AF Registry demonstrates that in Mexico, regardless of gender, a large proportion of patients remain undertreated. No gender differences were found in the use of VKA or DOAC.
