Proyecto de creación de un instituto de artes plásticas, música, danza y literatura en la ciudad de Guayaquil

The main reason for the creation of this project is to get people into society a little more interested by these subjects, and might suffer because they help a lot with brain development and definition of personality in children. The particular orientation of the project development is to stimulate the function of art, make a disclosure through artistic performances, his students discover their talents, orient toward appropriate means. Be promoters of artistic dissemination among the inhabitants of the city captures the interest of the participants to hear and inquire into all artistic expressions. This project involves the implementation of an institute of fine arts, painting and dance in the city of Guayaquil, which developed in all these categories facilities is directed to children and university students interested in developing their artistic inclination or simply to have this training as a way to broaden their knowledge

The Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus): ¿predator or scavenger? Plurality of perceptions between local knowledge and academic discourse in the central hills of Argentina

Este trabajo explora las percepciones relacionadas con el Cóndor Andino (Vultur gryphus) a través del conocimiento tradicional, las prácticas del habitante rural y el discurso académico asociado a la especie. El estudio se desarrolló en cuatro áreas de las sierras centrales de Argentina, en las provincias de Catamarca, Córdoba (Parque Nacional Quebrada del Condorito), La Rioja y San Juan. Desde la mirada de estos actores sociales, el Cóndor Andino puede ser valorado como una especie clave, emblemática y digna de conservar, pero también puede ser considerada como conflictiva y que debe ser eliminada por el comportamiento cazador que le adjudican algunos lugareños. Por medio de técnicas etnográficas se obtuvo información que evidenció la existencia de una pluralidad en las apreciaciones vinculadas con el Cóndor Andino, considerando los discursos locales y los provenientes del ámbito académico. Se destacan especialmente las percepciones diferenciales referentes a sus hábitos alimentarios, encontrando un contraste entre las narrativas en las que coinciden la percepción conservacionista de los pobladores del parque nacional y la academia, y la mirada de los pobladores de las otras tres áreas de estudio. Los datos sistematizados muestran la simultaneidad de percepciones asociadas a los saberes individuales y colectivos sobre la relación entre el ser humano y el animal, identificando aspectos que van desde los criterios asociados a la importancia biocultural y la conservación del ave, hasta su valoración negativa por ser considerada una amenaza para la producción ganadera.This work explores perceptions related to the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) through the traditional knowledge, the practices of the rural inhabitant and the academic discourse associated to the species. The study was carried out in four areas of the central hills of Argentina, in the provinces of Catamarca, Córdoba (Quebrada del Condorito National Park), La Rioja and San Juan. From the perspective of these social actors, the Andean Condor can be valued as a key species, emblematic and worthy of conservation, but it can also be considered as conflictive and that must be eliminated by the hunter behaviour that some locals attribute to it. By means of ethnographic techniques we obtained information that evidenced the existence of a plurality in evaluations related to the Andean Condor, considering the local and the academic discourses, especially the differential perceptions regarding their eating habits, finding a contrast between the narratives in which the conservationist perception of the settlers of the park and the academy coincides, and the view of the settlers of the other three study areas. Systematized data show the simultaneity of perceptions associated with individual and collective knowledge about the human–animal relationship, identifying aspects ranging from the criteria associated with biocultural importance and conservation of the bird, until its negative valuation by being considered a threat for the livestock production.Fil: Manzano García, Jessica.

M1 vs dlPFC: comparación mediante tDCS en personas mayores con dolor crónico

[spa] El envejecimiento es un proceso natural de cambios a nivel psicológico y fisiológico que trascurre a lo largo de nuestras vidas y está asociado con el padecimiento de dolor debido a que el mayor porcentaje de personas mayores suelen presentar sintomatología de carácter aflictivo que suele repercutir en el estilo y calidad de vida. Cabe mencionar que el término de dolor crónico se aplica cuando el transcurso de la presentación de sintomatología dolorosa es superior a los 3 meses de duración, y normalmente, se debe a cambios plásticos maladaptativos producidos a nivel cerebral por causas diversas. Por ello, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo principal comparar la corteza motora primaria (M1) y la corteza prefrontal dorsolateral (dlPFC),en una muestra de 16 participantes (M=68,25 ; DS= 5,650; 7 mujeres) mediante la aplicación de estimlación transcraneal por corriente directa (tDCS).Se hipotetizó que se obtendrían cambios en la percepción del dolor aplicando tDCS en M1 y dlPFC. Además, se esperaba obtener diferencias significativas en cuanto a la comparación de grupo, es decir, se podría llegar a observar dónde es más viable aplicar tDCS.El estudio se realizó a partir de las puntuaciones obtenidas en cuanto a al dolor actual percibido, los umbrales por presión, los umbrales de valoración subjetiva del estímulo percibido y la tarea de estimulación eléctrica, la cual implica variables como la intensidad y la desagradabilidad percibida. Los resultados obtenidos en la investigación mostraron que sí hubo mejora en cuanto a la modulación de la percepción del dolor en las dimensiones sensorial y afectiva pero con independencia de la región cerebral estimulada (M1 o dlPFC), es decir, fue indistinto el grupo al que perteneciesen los participantes.[eng] Aging is a natural process of changes at a psychological and physiological level that takes place throughout our lives and is associated with the suffering of pain due to the fact that the highest percentage of older people tend to present symptoms of an afflictive nature that usually have repercussions on the style and quality of life. It is worth mentioning that the term chronic pain is applied when the course of the presentation of painful symptoms lasts more than 3 months, and is normally due to maladaptive plastic changes produced in the brain for various reasons. For this reason, the main objective in this study was to compare the primary motor cortex (M1) and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) in a sample of 16 participants (M=68.25; SD=5.650; 7 women) by applying transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). It was hypothesized that changes in pain perception would be obtained by applying tDCS to M1 and dlPFC. In addition, it was expected to obtain significant differences in terms of group comparison, that is, it could be observed where it is more feasible to apply tDCS. The study was carried out based on the scores obtained regarding the current perceived pain, the thresholds by pressure, the subjective assessment thresholds of the perceived stimulus and the electrical stimulation task, which involves variables such as intensity and perceived unpleasantness. The results obtained in the investigation showed that there was an improvement in terms of the modulation of pain perception in the sensory and affective dimensions, but regardless of the brain region stimulated (M1 or dlPFC),the group to which the participants belonged was indistinct

Nefrolitotomía percutánea en pacientes con trastornos de la coagulación: reporte de caso

Objective To report a case of percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with protein C and S deficiency. Introduction Patients with protein C and S deficiency have a high risk of thromboembolic events reporting rates of 6% and 8.4%, respectively. Case Report A 43-year-old female patient with a history of protein C and S deficiency with chronic warfarin anticoagulation for deep venous thrombosis (DVT). CT scan with full right staghorn calculi. Enoxaparin was administered bridge therapy. She was taken to right percutaneous nephrolithotomy, access was through the lower calyx. Because it was not possible to access the calculus of the middle and upper calyx it was necessary to perform a second puncture in the upper calyx, leaving the patient free of calculus. Full anticoagulation was resumed at 12 hours postoperatively without associated bleeding. Discussion Patients with protein C and S deficits are at high risk for thromboembolic events. Kefer et al. conducted a study evaluating the efficacy of bridge therapy in patients on NLP, finding that warfarin anticoagulation can be discontinued 5 days earlier and restarted 5 days after the surgical procedure without the need for enoxaparin bridging therapy. Results The protein C and S deficiency corresponds to an entity, with a very low prevalence and conditions the requirement of oral anticoagulants indefinitely. It was possible to perform a surgical procedure without hemorrhagic or thromboembolic complications. Copyright © 2019, Sociedad Colombiana de Urología

Relación entre IPSS y uroflujometría en pacientes con síntomas urinarios

Introduction Clinical questionnaires for urinary symptoms were designed to perform an objective evaluation of urinary symptoms and thus avoid invasive and expensive studies. However, patients present symptoms that make difficult the discernment between infravesical obstruction and hypocontractile detrusor. The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between uroflowmetry and symptom severity using the IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) in patients with urinary symptoms, compared with urodynamics and to determine its correlation with the diagnosis of infra-vesical obstruction or hypocontractile detrusor. Methods Observational retrospective study in which the clinical records of the patients who consulted for urinary emptying symptoms at La Samaritana University Hospital in Bogotá, Colombia, between April 2016 and April 2017 were reviewed. The IPSS was performed in all patients. Additionally, uroflowmetry and urodynamics were documented with the Medical Measurement System SN077116. Results A total of 27 patients were included in the study. The average age was 67.26 years. The mild IPSS was found in 22% of the patients, moderate 59% and severe 19%. Patterns were identified in uroflowmetry with bell curves in 26% of patients, plateau 41% and intermittent in 33%. 37% of the patients had a Qmax lower than 10 mL/s which was considered obstructive and a PdetQmax less than 40 cm H2O in 37%, which is consistent with the results of uroflowmetry, in addition to being related to high postvoid residual volume. Conclusion There is a correlation between IPSS and Qmax associated with urodynamic patterns. The use of indices as non-invasive methods to reduce costs is comparable with the urodynamic findings; however, there is a non-negligible percentage of patients with Qmax less than 10 mL/s who do not correspond to infravesical obstruction. It is necessary to take into account that up to 23% of patients can have moderate or severe IPSS without the origin of the symptoms being obstructive. © 2019 Sociedad Colombiana de Urología
