Establecer redes y alianzas que estimulen la inteligencia espiritual en adolescentes en condición de orfandad.

Establecer redes y alianzas estratégicas que permitan a la Fundación Dando Vida a Tus Sueños, estimular la inteligencia espiritual aportando al proyecto de vida de los adolescentes en condición de orfandad.Este proyecto busca establecer redes y alianzas estratégicas a fin de desarrollar la Inteligencia Espiritual y fortalecer el proyecto de vida de los adolescentes que se encuentran en condición de orfandad y que están actualmente en el Hogar Michin, Fundación que nos abrió las puertas para trabajar con un pequeño grupo focal mediante talleres y entrevistas que fueron aplicadas al grupo focal para que logren desarrollar la inteligencia espiritual. Se busca que los jóvenes obtengan la capacidad de transformar el sufrimiento en un logro superado, se apunta a generar hábitos, estrategias y principios que ayuden a evitar la trasgresión de la norma, que aporten al cuidado de sí mismo y de su entorno, marcando de manera importante la vida de los adolescentes. Ésta es una de las principales virtudes de trabajar la inteligencia espiritual, la que a través de distintas maneras permite encontrarle un sentido a la vida. La Inteligencia Espiritual se distingue por las siguientes características: capacidad de ser flexible, poseer un alto nivel de conciencia de sí mismo, capacidad de afrontar y trascender el dolor y el sufrimiento. Así, con base en la teoría de la inteligencia espiritual se busca dar a entender que la vida espiritual no es una vida paralela a la vida corporal y quien logra cultivarla aprende a vivir más intensamente, pues desde aquí la gerencia social tiene un rol fundamental puesto que busca velar por el desarrollo social de las personas tanto a nivel emocional y cultural. Se usó el instrumento que nos brinda la gerencia social Redes y Alianzas, todo esto con el fin de fortalecer el hogar Club Michin en el área espiritual de los niños, niñas y adolescentes y así poder establecer proyecto de vida y resiliencia en estos niños, niñas y adolescentes. Es de suma importancia lograr redes y alianzas en todas las instituciones que trabajan con niños, niñas y adolescente

Higher COVID-19 pneumonia risk associated with anti-IFN-α than with anti-IFN-ω auto-Abs in children

We found that 19 (10.4%) of 183 unvaccinated children hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia had autoantibodies (auto-Abs) neutralizing type I IFNs (IFN-alpha 2 in 10 patients: IFN-alpha 2 only in three, IFN-alpha 2 plus IFN-omega in five, and IFN-alpha 2, IFN-omega plus IFN-beta in two; IFN-omega only in nine patients). Seven children (3.8%) had Abs neutralizing at least 10 ng/ml of one IFN, whereas the other 12 (6.6%) had Abs neutralizing only 100 pg/ml. The auto-Abs neutralized both unglycosylated and glycosylated IFNs. We also detected auto-Abs neutralizing 100 pg/ml IFN-alpha 2 in 4 of 2,267 uninfected children (0.2%) and auto-Abs neutralizing IFN-omega in 45 children (2%). The odds ratios (ORs) for life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia were, therefore, higher for auto-Abs neutralizing IFN-alpha 2 only (OR [95% CI] = 67.6 [5.7-9,196.6]) than for auto-Abs neutralizing IFN-. only (OR [95% CI] = 2.6 [1.2-5.3]). ORs were also higher for auto-Abs neutralizing high concentrations (OR [95% CI] = 12.9 [4.6-35.9]) than for those neutralizing low concentrations (OR [95% CI] = 5.5 [3.1-9.6]) of IFN-omega and/or IFN-alpha 2

COVID-19 symptoms at hospital admission vary with age and sex: results from the ISARIC prospective multinational observational study

Background: The ISARIC prospective multinational observational study is the largest cohort of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. We present relationships of age, sex, and nationality to presenting symptoms. Methods: International, prospective observational study of 60 109 hospitalized symptomatic patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 recruited from 43 countries between 30 January and 3 August 2020. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate relationships of age and sex to published COVID-19 case definitions and the most commonly reported symptoms. Results: ‘Typical’ symptoms of fever (69%), cough (68%) and shortness of breath (66%) were the most commonly reported. 92% of patients experienced at least one of these. Prevalence of typical symptoms was greatest in 30- to 60-year-olds (respectively 80, 79, 69%; at least one 95%). They were reported less frequently in children (≤ 18 years: 69, 48, 23; 85%), older adults (≥ 70 years: 61, 62, 65; 90%), and women (66, 66, 64; 90%; vs. men 71, 70, 67; 93%, each P < 0.001). The most common atypical presentations under 60 years of age were nausea and vomiting and abdominal pain, and over 60 years was confusion. Regression models showed significant differences in symptoms with sex, age and country. Interpretation: This international collaboration has allowed us to report reliable symptom data from the largest cohort of patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19. Adults over 60 and children admitted to hospital with COVID-19 are less likely to present with typical symptoms. Nausea and vomiting are common atypical presentations under 30 years. Confusion is a frequent atypical presentation of COVID-19 in adults over 60 years. Women are less likely to experience typical symptoms than men

Biodegradation of Chlorothalonil Fungicide in Coastal Areas of the Colombian Caribbean Suitable for Banana Crops

Chlorothalonil (CHT) is a chlorinated-nitrogen fungicide used in the control of black sigatoka, a disease that affects banana and plantain, has adverse effects on the environment and its metabolites can be toxic. The CHT has been the object of several studies related to its behavior and degradation in the environment; however, few works have been developed in tropical areas, such as the case of the banana zone of Magdalena - Colombia. In addition, it is unknown if the microbial diversity existing in these soils can transform compounds such as CHT, thus these microorganisms can be the basis for the implementation of remediation strategies based on bioaugmentation. In this sense, the present study aims to evaluate the degradation of CHT in soils of a tropical coastal zone, under conditions of natural attenuation and bioaugmentation with native microorganisms. For this purpose, microorganisms capable of growing with CHT as their sole carbon source (10.8 mg.L-1) and tolerating a concentration up to 25 mg.L-1 were isolated and selected from soils in the Magdalena-Colombia banana zone. Subsequently, CHT degradation tests (2000 ng.g-1) were performed on experimental plots, with bioaugmentation of native microorganisms and natural attenuation during 35 days, evaluating the growth of microbial populations and the degradation of CHT by gas chromatography associated with a mass spectrometry detector (GC/MS). Because of the microbial selection process, 8 morphotypes were obtained with the ability to grow in CHT as the sole carbon source and tolerate concentrations up to 25 g.L-1. The isolates were identified by sequencing the 16S rDNA gene as belonging to the genera Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas and Citrobacter. The CHT degradation tests showed that under bioaugmentation conditions with the native microorganisms selected in the study, a 100% reduction was achieved after 21 days; while under natural attenuation conditions after 35 days the degradation reached values of 98.5%. The application of bioaugmentation of selected and enhanced bacteria increased the rate of pesticide degradation by ~2.5 times, reducing the half-life from 6.2 to 2.5 days. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the bioaugmentation treatment and that the selected consortium may be useful for bioremediation of banana crops soils contaminated with the fungicide

Specialized Proresolving Lipid Mediators: A Potential Therapeutic Target for Atherosclerosis

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global public health issue due to its high morbidity, mortality, and economic impact. The implementation of innovative therapeutic alternatives for CVD is urgently required. Specialized proresolving lipid mediators (SPMs) are bioactive compounds derived from ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids, integrated into four families: Lipoxins, Resolvins, Protectins, and Maresins. SPMs have generated interest in recent years due to their ability to promote the resolution of inflammation associated with the pathogeneses of numerous illnesses, particularly CVD. Several preclinical studies in animal models have evidenced their ability to decrease the progression of atherosclerosis, intimal hyperplasia, and reperfusion injury via diverse mechanisms. Large-scale clinical trials are required to determine the effects of SPMs in humans. This review integrates the currently available knowledge of the therapeutic impact of SPMs in CVD from preclinical and clinical studies, along with the implicated molecular pathways. In vitro results have been promising, and as such, SPMs could soon represent a new therapeutic alternative for CVD
