    Este artículo –producto de un trabajo investigativo a nivel formativo– realiza un análisis sociojurídico a la Sentencia T-194/99 con el fin de exponer sus efectos directos e indirectos. En el primer apartado se reflexiona sobre los antecedentes de este pronunciamiento judicial. En el segundo, se establece el procedimiento metodológico utilizado en el citado análisis. En el tercer apartado, se muestra los resultados obtenidos. El cuarto, presenta el punto de vista de ASPROCIG, que es la organización más relevante de este proceso, por ser la que logró incoar el pleito de solicitud de amparo de sus asociados contra las actuaciones de la Corporación Eléctrica de la Costa Atlántica y la Empresa Multipropósito Urrá S.A. El artículo concluye que la Universidad de Córdoba, debe iniciar a través de su programa de Derecho los estudios de fondo que coadyuven a la solución de tales problemáticas. La tesis a demostrar es que el pronunciamiento que hace la Corte Constitucional a través de la Sentencia T-194/99 es ejemplar, pero no acatado

    Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat

    El presente trabajo, está encaminado a identificar el alcance de la dignidad humana como derecho fundamental, para mitigar y brindar garantías a la comunidad étnica Emberá Katio, como consecuencia del desplazamiento en el departamento de Córdoba. A la luz del caso de la hidroeléctrica de Urrá y del desplazamiento forzado por parte de grupos armados al margen de la ley, se tendrá en cuenta jurisprudencias proferidas por la corte constitucional y la constante lucha por el cumplimiento de lo pactado por parte del Estado y de la hidroeléctrica en el ámbito cultural, social y económico. Con el objetivo de analizar la violación de los derechos fundamentales que a la fecha siguen siendo vulnerados, para finalmente indagar el porqué de un nuevo desplazamiento y asentamiento en la ciudad de Montería y como se les puede brindar las garantías necesarias a la comunidad étnica Emberá Katio.RESUMEN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5INTRODUCCIÓN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------7OBJETIVOS -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------9I.

    Discovering HIV related information by means of association rules and machine learning

    Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is still one of the main health problems worldwide. It is therefore essential to keep making progress in improving the prognosis and quality of life of affected patients. One way to advance along this pathway is to uncover connections between other disorders associated with HIV/AIDS-so that they can be anticipated and possibly mitigated. We propose to achieve this by using Association Rules (ARs). They allow us to represent the dependencies between a number of diseases and other specific diseases. However, classical techniques systematically generate every AR meeting some minimal conditions on data frequency, hence generating a vast amount of uninteresting ARs, which need to be filtered out. The lack of manually annotated ARs has favored unsupervised filtering, even though they produce limited results. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised system, able to identify relevant ARs among HIV-related diseases with a minimal amount of annotated training data. Our system has been able to extract a good number of relationships between HIV-related diseases that have been previously detected in the literature but are scattered and are often little known. Furthermore, a number of plausible new relationships have shown up which deserve further investigation by qualified medical experts

    SARS-CoV-2 vaccination modelling for safe surgery to save lives: data from an international prospective cohort study

    Background: Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling. Methods: The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgical patients), and community SARS-CoV-2 incidence and case fatality data (general population). NNV estimates were stratified by age (18-49, 50-69, 70 or more years) and type of surgery. Best- and worst-case scenarios were used to describe uncertainty. Results: NNVs were more favourable in surgical patients than the general population. The most favourable NNVs were in patients aged 70 years or more needing cancer surgery (351; best case 196, worst case 816) or non-cancer surgery (733; best case 407, worst case 1664). Both exceeded the NNV in the general population (1840; best case 1196, worst case 3066). NNVs for surgical patients remained favourable at a range of SARS-CoV-2 incidence rates in sensitivity analysis modelling. Globally, prioritizing preoperative vaccination of patients needing elective surgery ahead of the general population could prevent an additional 58 687 (best case 115 007, worst case 20 177) COVID-19-related deaths in 1 year. Conclusion: As global roll out of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination proceeds, patients needing elective surgery should be prioritized ahead of the general population
