Considerations about ciliate ́s taxocenosis in a treatement of citrical wastewaters (Tucumán - Argentina)

Se estudió la taxocenosis de ciliados (bacterívoros) en dos reactores que representan etapas sucesivas de tratamiento de un et1uente citrícola. Se registró una composición específica integrada por 9 taxones con mayor importancia cuali-cuantitativa del grupo Holotricos himenostomados (Paramecium, Tetralzymena, Loxodes, entre otros). La riqueza específica osciló entre 1 y 5 especies con valores de diversidad de Shannon- Wiener bajos. La especie dominante que define la taxocenosis fue Tetralzymena pirfformis de reconocida saprobiedad (a - polisaprobio) con frecuencias de ocurrencia de 100% ypicos máximos de abundancia. Las «densidades totales» de ciliados oscilaron entre 155 y 68200 ind.ml-'. Se registró una microsucesión entre el reactor 1 y reactor 2 con mayores porcentajes de degradación ante comunidades de mayor riqueza y abundancia con coexistencia de rotíferos, taxones que probablemente actuarían como elementos complementarios en el metabolismo del et1uente, compitiendo con los ciliados.The ciliate ́s taxocenosis (bacterivourous) in two reactors for treating citrical waterwater, was studied. Species composition of this community included 9 species of ciliates with dominance of holotrica - hymenostomata group (Paramecium, Tetrahymena, Loxodes). Species richness was between 1 - 5 spp. with low Shannon - Wiener ́s values. Tetrahymena piriformis (a - polisaprobe) was the best represented specie (100% frecuency) and had the highest density (26800 and 68200 ind/ ml-1). A microsuccession between reactor 1 and reactor 2 were registered. More species, higher abundance of those and the presence of rotifers were found at the highest degradation of the wasterwater.Fil: Juárez, Jorgelina. Universidad Nacional de Tucumán.

Genetic landscape of 6089 inherited retinal dystrophies affected cases in Spain and their therapeutic and extended epidemiological implications

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), defined by dysfunction or progressive loss of photoreceptors, are disorders characterized by elevated heterogeneity, both at the clinical and genetic levels. Our main goal was to address the genetic landscape of IRD in the largest cohort of Spanish patients reported to date. A retrospective hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out on 6089 IRD affected individuals (from 4403 unrelated families), referred for genetic testing from all the Spanish autonomous communities. Clinical, demographic and familiar data were collected from each patient, including family pedigree, age of appearance of visual symptoms, presence of any systemic findings and geographical origin. Genetic studies were performed to the 3951 families with available DNA using different molecular techniques. Overall, 53.2% (2100/3951) of the studied families were genetically characterized, and 1549 different likely causative variants in 142 genes were identified. The most common phenotype encountered is retinitis pigmentosa (RP) (55.6% of families, 2447/4403). The most recurrently mutated genes were PRPH2, ABCA4 and RS1 in autosomal dominant (AD), autosomal recessive (AR) and X-linked (XL) NON-RP cases, respectively; RHO, USH2A and RPGR in AD, AR and XL for non-syndromic RP; and USH2A and MYO7A in syndromic IRD. Pathogenic variants c.3386G > T (p.Arg1129Leu) in ABCA4 and c.2276G > T (p.Cys759Phe) in USH2A were the most frequent variants identified. Our study provides the general landscape for IRD in Spain, reporting the largest cohort ever presented. Our results have important implications for genetic diagnosis, counselling and new therapeutic strategies to both the Spanish population and other related populations.This work was supported by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) of the Spanish Ministry of Health (FIS; PI16/00425 and PI19/00321), Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red Enfermedades Raras (CIBERER, 06/07/0036), IIS-FJD BioBank (PT13/0010/0012), Comunidad de Madrid (CAM, RAREGenomics Project, B2017/BMD-3721), European Regional Development Fund (FEDER), the Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles (ONCE), Fundación Ramón Areces, Fundación Conchita Rábago and the University Chair UAM-IIS-FJD of Genomic Medicine.

Disseny personalitzat d'un sistema guiat per a la implantació d'una pròtesi de maluc

Actualment, no hi ha cap metodologia de guiatge quirúrgic per a la inserció de pròtesis de maluc que proporcioni resultats precisos. L’objectiu d’aquest projecte és crear un sistema de guiat que possibiliti la correcta angulació dels implants. Per a poder desenvolupar aquest sistema s’ha utilitzat un programari de disseny i modelatge 3D d’ús freqüent en l’entorn mèdic anomenat 3-Matic. Per realitzar el disseny del sistema s’han considerat suggeriments d’especialistes en aquesta matèria i s’ha realitzat una validació en models anatòmics polimèrics. Com a resultat del projecte s’ha aconseguit crear un sistema de guiat quirúrgic que permet una planificació de la orientació del component acetabular i del tall femoral. Per a la seva fabricació s’ha utilitzat tecnologia de fabricació additiva donat que és la més idònia per a objectes a mida. A més, s’ha programat una aplicació per accelerar el procés de disseny i donar abast a més malalts. El sistema de guiat hauria de produir un estalvi en la despesa hospitalària com a conseqüència de la reducció del temps quirúrgic i del nombre de reintervencions. Amb una correcta alineació dels components protètics s’aconseguiria una millora en la qualitat de vida dels pacients

Annual Meeting International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF), june 1976.-- 1 page, 1 tableSelectivity studies were carried out during the years 1968 to 1975 in the demersal fishery off Galacia (Northwest Spain). mainly conducted to find the selectivity factors for the European hake, Merluccius merluccius, for different materials. The experiments were conducted using a covered codend, and using several mesh sizes for each material, thus the selection factors given are an average of those found in different experimentsPeer reviewe
