La imagen y la narrativa como herramientas para el abordaje psicosocial en escenarios de violencia. Departamentos de Atlántico, Bolívar, Córdoba, la Guajira

A lo largo del curso y de los temas trabajados se pueden abordar los distintos escenarios que se perciben en la sociedad en diferentes zonas geográficas del país, describiendo lo que se encuentran en todas ellas y a quienes hacen parte de estas realidades. Luego de abordar el enfoque narrativo se sigue el trabajo con un caso en específico el de Camilo y el de Peñas Coloradas con el cual se continua el ejercicio del análisis de relatos en donde se evidencia distintos tipos de violencia. En el último caso se elaboran preguntas circulares, reflexivas y estratégicas con el fin de un mejor análisis de intervención psicosocial comunitario, que se hace necesario como método de intervención con el fin de poder entender mejor la situación y darle una conclusión favorable. Se puede observar cómo en Colombia todavía se ven secuelas de la violencia que ha marcado gran parte de la historia de la nación, lo que lleva a reflexionar sobre el sistema de reparación de víctimas y la importancia de hacerla cada vez más eficiente y fácil de seguir por las víctimas de la violencia, se puede evidenciar también los distintos tipos de violencia que se siguen dando en las distintas zonas del país y la importancia del rol del psicólogo en la sociedad.Throughout the course and the topics studied, the different scenarios that are perceived in society in different geographical areas of the country can be addressed, describing what is found in all of them and who is part of these realities. After addressing the narrative approach, the work continues with a specific case that of Camilo and that of Peñas Coloradas, with which the exercise of the analysis of stories where different types of violence are evidenced is continued. In the latter case, circular, reflective and strategic questions are elaborated in order to better analyze the community psychosocial intervention, which is necessary as an intervention method in order to better understand the situation and give it a favorable conclusion. It can be seen how in Colombia there are still consequences of the violence that has marked a large part of the nation's history, which leads us to reflect on the victim reparation system and the importance of making it increasingly efficient and easy to follow. For the victims of violence, it is also possible to show the different types of violence that continue to occur in different areas of the country and the importance of the role of the psychologist in society

Hereditary angioedema: first report of the Brazilian registry and challenges

Background Hereditary Angio-oedema (HAE) is a serious medical condition caused by a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder, in which C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) function is reduced. There is no organized information on the HAE patient population in Brazil. Objective The Brazilian Registry was established to disseminate diagnostic access, and to better understand the main features of the disease in our country and its clinical impact. Methods A questionnaire was prepared and sent to specialists. The completed questionnaires were forwarded to the coordinating site and then entered into the Registry. Samples from patients with an unconfirmed diagnosis were tested for C1 inhibitor and C4 levels. Results From 2006 to 2010, 210 patients (133 females; mean age, 30 +/- 17years) were included. The median age of onset of symptoms and age at diagnosis were 6.5 and 21years, respectively; 80.9% of the patients had subcutaneous oedema, 54% gastrointestinal and 35.7% respiratory symptoms (21% had laryngeal oedema). Laparotomy due to the disease was performed in 6.2% of the patients. The majority of patients had Type I HAE of moderate severity. Twenty-seven per cent did not receive treatment; 53% were treated with danazol alone. Conclusion A paucity of patients with Type II HAE and a high frequency of laparotomy were observed, highlighting the need for better diagnosis in Brazil. HAE related educational activities, improved diagnosis and access to available therapy are needed in Brazil.273e338e34

The complete sequence of the yeast chromosome III.

The entire DNA sequence of chromosome III of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined. This is the first complete sequence analysis of an entire chromosome from any organism. The 315-kilobase sequence reveals 182 open reading frames for proteins longer than 100 amino acids, of which 37 correspond to known genes and 29 more show some similarity to sequences in databases. Of 55 new open reading frames analysed by gene disruption, three are essential genes; of 42 non-essential genes that were tested, 14 show some discernible effect on phenotype and the remaining 28 have no overt function
