Diseño de una política para la optimización del proceso de abastecimiento del fruto de palma en la zona del Cauca, municipio de Aracataca, para la empresa Gradesa S.A.

Con el desarrollo de esta investigación se pretende establecer una política de recolección que permita desarrollar las actividades de transporte en forma más organizada con el fin de propiciar una mayor sincronización entre el ingreso de fruta y el proceso de extracción, permitiendo con esto una mejor utilización de las cajas recolectoras y un control más estricto sobre la calidad del fruto recibido en la planta de extracción. Para lograr el objetivo anteriormente planteado, se diseñará una nueva política de recolección basada en la implementación del proceso de encinte de fruto 11 popularizado por el sector bananero y en la utilización de un modelo de transporte para la asignación adecuada de las cajas recolectoras de fruto de palma. Como consecuencia, la compañía tendrá la posibilidad de contar con un plan de cosecha que le permitirá conocer con mucha anterioridad el comportamiento que tendrá el ingreso de fruta en un periodo determinad

An international multicentre analysis of current prescribing practices and shared decision-making in psoriatic arthritis

Objectives Shared decision-making (SDM) is advocated to improve patient outcomes in PsA. We analysed current prescribing practices and the extent of SDM in PsA across Europe. Methods The ASSIST study was a cross-sectional observational study of PsA patients ≥18 years of age attending face-to-face appointments between July 2021 and March 2022. Patient demographics, current treatment and treatment decisions were recorded. SDM was measured by the clinician’s effort to collaborate (CollaboRATE questionnaire) and patient communication confidence (PEPPI-5 tool). Results A total of 503 patients were included from 24 centres across the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Physician- and patient-reported measures of disease activity were highest in the UK. Conventional synthetic DMARDs constituted a higher percentage of current PsA treatment in the UK than continental Europe (66.4% vs 44.9%), which differed from biologic DMARDs (36.4% vs 64.4%). Implementing treatment escalation was most common in the UK. CollaboRATE and PEPPI-5 scores were high across centres. Of 31 patients with low CollaboRATE scores (<4.5), no patients with low PsAID-12 scores (<5) had treatment escalation. However, of 465 patients with CollaboRATE scores ≥4.5, 59 patients with low PsAID-12 scores received treatment escalation. Conclusions Higher rates of treatment escalation seen in the UK may be explained by higher disease activity and a younger cohort. High levels of collaboration in face-to-face PsA consultations suggests effective implementation of the SDM approach. Our data indicate that in patients with mild disease activity, only those with higher perceived collaboration underwent treatment escalation. Prospective studies should examine the impact of SDM on PsA patient outcomes

How do patient-reported outcome measures affect treatment intensification and patient satisfaction in the management of psoriatic arthritis? A cross sectional study of 503 patients

Objectives The AsseSSing Impact in pSoriatic Treatment (ASSIST) study investigated prescribing in routine PsA care and whether the patient-reported outcome—PsA Impact of Disease questionnaire (PsAID-12)—impacted treatment. This study also assessed a range of patient and clinician factors and their relationship to PsAID-12 scoring and treatment modification. Methods Patients with PsA were selected across the UK and Europe between July 2021 and March 2022. Patients completed the PsAID questionnaire and the results were shared with their physician. Patient characteristics, disease activity, current treatment methods, treatment strategies, medication changes and patient satisfaction scores were recorded. Results A total of 503 patients were recruited. Some 36.2% had changes made to treatment, and 88.8% of these had treatment escalation. Overall, the mean PsAID-12 score was higher for patients with treatment escalation; increase in PSAID-12 score is associated with increased odds of treatment escalation (odds ratio 1.58; P < 0.0001). However, most clinicians reported that PsAID-12 did not impact their decision to escalate treatment, instead supporting treatment reduction decisions. Physician’s assessment of disease activity had the most statistically significant effect on likelihood of treatment escalation (odds ratio 2.68, per 1-point score increase). Escalation was more likely in patients not treated with biologic therapies. Additional factors associated with treatment escalation included: patient characteristics, physician characteristics, disease activity and disease impact. Conclusion This study highlights multiple factors impacting treatment decision-making for individuals with PsA. PsAID-12 scoring correlates with multiple measures of disease severity and odds of treatment escalation. However, most clinicians reported that the PsAID-12 did not influence treatment escalation decisions. Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease (PsAID) scoring could be used to increase confidence in treatment de-escalation

Diseño de herramientas de gestión y control estratégico para el departamento de servicios administrativos del banco de la república de Colombia.

El actual proyecto de grado, se desarrolló con el propósito de solucionar una necesidad inminente que se estaba presentando dentro del Departamento de Servicios Administrativos del Banco de la República. La alta dirección de dicha dependencia, determinó que era necesario definir una metodología que permitiera estructurar estrategias para mejorar la gestión ejercida, y ampliarla hacia las perspectivas financieras, de aprendizaje, clientes y procesos planteadas por el Balanced Scoredcard en cuestiones de tácticas organizacionales para mejorar su rendimiento, de tal forma que se puedan trazar un conjunto de metas alcanzables al principio de cada periodo operacional, y que cada una de estas puedan ser monitoreadas para verificar su progreso en el tiempo. Por supuesto, el Departamento no contaba con una herramienta que le permitiera obtener información confiable y demostrable acerca del cumplimiento de los objetivos propuestos, por lo tanto, no se podían ejecutar planes de mejora para las cuatro perspectivas de gestiónPregradoIngeniero(a) Industria

First steps towards organ banks: vitrification of renal primordial

[EN] BACKGROUND: Kidney transplantation from deceased or living human donors has been limited by donor availability as opposed to the increasing demand, by the risks of allograft loss rejection and immunosuppressive therapy toxicity and by limitations of organ preservation protocols, which is essential to organise staff and facilities, transport organs, and perform necessary laboratory tests. However, the cryopreservation of composite tissues poses technical challenges beyond those seen in the preservation of single tissue types or organs. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to establish a protocol for long-term storing of renal primordia, that generates new adult kidneys after transplant into a syngeneic non-immunosuppressed host. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Metanephroi from 16-days-old embryos were microdissected and vitrified following the minimum essential volume method and using Cryotop as a device and VM3 as vitrification solution. After 3 months of storage in liquid nitrogen (-196ºC), 20 metanephroi were warmed and transplanted using minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery into retroperitoneal fat of 5-month-old immune-competent New Zealand rabbits. In the same way, 22 fresh metanephroi were transplanted. Twenty-one days after transplantation, hosts were euthanized and developed kidneys were recovered and evaluated morphologically and histologically. RESULTS: Significant growth and fully differentiated mature glomeruli and tubule were observed in all kidney graft explants recovered. In total, 5 metanephroi (25.0%) were successfully grown after vitrification. In the same way, 12 metanephroi (54.5%) were successfully grown in the fresh group. CONCLUSION: These encouraging results reported that metanephroi not only survive vitrification, but they vascularized and developed morphologically normal glomeruli after their allotransplantation. These results suggest that it's possible to create a long-term biobank of kidney precursors as an unlimited source of organs for transplantation, and open new therapeutic possibilities for the patients with chronic renal failure.This work was supported by funds from the Generalitat Valenciana Research Programme (PrometeoII 2014/036).
