La formación nogales en borde e de la cordillera central (departamento del valle del cauca): una pieza clave para entender la evolución cretacea del occidente colombiano

La Formación Nogales se presenta al interior de un bloque limitado por fallas en el borde occidental de la Cordillera Central de Colombia. Esta unidad es importante ya que, a diferencia de muchas sucesiones sedimentarias cretáceas de esta región, no presenta deformación intensa, lo que sumado a la presencia de invertebrados fósiles, permitió realizar un estudio estratigráfico y paleontológico detallado. La unidad puede ser separada en tres miembros originados en deltas, depósitos de talud y abanicos submarinos asociados a un "erógeno reciclado". Los fósiles hallados indican una edad Campaniano-Maastrichtiano. Esta nota pretende dar a conocer las implicaciones regionales que tiene esta información en la evolución del Occidente Colombiano la cual, pese a que ya había sido publicada, no fue tomada en cuenta durante la elaboración del reciente mapa Geológico del Valle

The Impact of Hydroponic Vegetables on Health

El cultivo o agricultura hidropónicos es un método de cultivo de plantas utilizando soluciones minerales en lugar de suelo agrícola. Ha contribuido a muchos países de una manera sencilla pero muy importante proporcionando alimentos saludables. El propósito de este estudio es conocer exitosamente el impacto de los productos hidropónicos ya que son un alimento de alta calidad y beneficioso para la salud. El cultivo de plantas mediante hidroponía requiere menos agua que el cultivo de plantas en tierra y requiere menos esfuerzo físico, lo que lo hace ideal para personas limitadas por la edad o las condiciones de salud. Estas tres cualidades humanas son los requisitos más importantes y al mismo tiempo los factores limitantes para la rápida adopción productiva de las culturas sin tierra; una oportunidad para alimentar mejor a la familia, ganar dinero en una casa y demostrárselo a todos en caso de necesidad. Cualquiera con pocos ingresos y baja educación puede convertirse en un pequeño empresario, además de ayudar mucho para su salud con los productos hidropónicos.Hydroponic growing or farming is a method of growing plants using mineral solutions instead of agricultural soil. It has contributed to many countries in a simple but very important way by providing healthy food. The purpose of this study is to successfully understand the impact of hydroponic products since they are a high-quality food that is beneficial to health. Growing plants using hydroponics requires less water than growing plants in soil and requires less physical effort, making it ideal for people limited by age or health conditions. These three human qualities are the most important requirements and at the same time the limiting factors for the rapid productive adoption of landless cultures; an opportunity to feed the family better, earn money in a house and prove it to everyone if necessary. Anyone with little income and little education can become a small business owner, in addition to helping their health a lot with hydroponic products

Reflexión Política. Volumen 5 No. 10 de 2003

La democracia local es tema de la mayor importancia. Las instituciones colombianas desde 1991 la fortalecieron, a efecto de diputar a todo el pueblo para que, en cada lugar, atienda directamente sus propios problemas, y proteja mediante su acción de control administrativo los programas que, el mismo pueblo anhela, y plantea antes de la escogencia de sus mandatarios. En Colombia se está implantando una reforma política que ha modificado el sistema electoral, orientada a fortalecer los partidos políticos, fuentes del poder y sustento de la democracia como sistemaLocal democracy is a matter of the greatest importance. Since 1991, Colombian institutions have strengthened it, in order to deputize all the people so that, in each place, they directly address their own problems, and protect through their action of administrative control the programs that the people themselves long for, and propose before the choice of their leaders. In Colombia, a political reform is being implemented that has modified the electoral system, aimed at strengthening political parties, sources of power and support of democracy as a system

Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality

Evolving trends in the management of acute appendicitis during COVID-19 waves. The ACIE appy II study

Background: In 2020, ACIE Appy study showed that COVID-19 pandemic heavily affected the management of patients with acute appendicitis (AA) worldwide, with an increased rate of non-operative management (NOM) strategies and a trend toward open surgery due to concern of virus transmission by laparoscopy and controversial recommendations on this issue. The aim of this study was to survey again the same group of surgeons to assess if any difference in management attitudes of AA had occurred in the later stages of the outbreak. Methods: From August 15 to September 30, 2021, an online questionnaire was sent to all 709 participants of the ACIE Appy study. The questionnaire included questions on personal protective equipment (PPE), local policies and screening for SARS-CoV-2 infection, NOM, surgical approach and disease presentations in 2021. The results were compared with the results from the previous study. Results: A total of 476 answers were collected (response rate 67.1%). Screening policies were significatively improved with most patients screened regardless of symptoms (89.5% vs. 37.4%) with PCR and antigenic test as the preferred test (74.1% vs. 26.3%). More patients tested positive before surgery and commercial systems were the preferred ones to filter smoke plumes during laparoscopy. Laparoscopic appendicectomy was the first option in the treatment of AA, with a declined use of NOM. Conclusion: Management of AA has improved in the last waves of pandemic. Increased evidence regarding SARS-COV-2 infection along with a timely healthcare systems response has been translated into tailored attitudes and a better care for patients with AA worldwide
