Observaciones histológicas de estructuras celulares asociadas a spongospora subterranea f sp. subterranea en papa.

Spongospora subterranea (Wallroth) Lagerheim f. sp. subterranea Tomlinson, agente causal de la sarna polvosa de la papa, es un parásito obligado el cual por sus características biológicas y reproductivas, posee una gran capacidad de sobrevivencia e infección no solo en su principal hospedero, sino también en diversas especies silvestres. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar observaciones de estructuras celulares asociadas a S. subterranea f. sp. subterranea en plantas de papa en diferentesestados fenológicos naturalmente infectadas por el patógeno, sintomáticas o asintomáticas. Para este propósito se realizaron observaciones al microscopio de luz haciendo tinción de estos tejidos con azul de tripano, mediante lo cual fue posible identificar todas las fases de S. subterranea en las plantas analizadas. Lo anterior demuestra que en los tejidos radicales de papa, no siempre la presencia de agallas es indicativo de la infección, aun plantas asintomáticas pueden ser portadores de estructuras del protozoo; además, algunas estructuras asociadas a S. subterranea como plasmodios o células únicas, son de ocurrencia común y coinciden con las mencionadas frecuentemente en la literatura también en hospederos silvestres, lo que lleva a proponer la hipótesis de que este es un microorganismo común en suelos, que causa disturbios importantes puntualmente en cultivos de papa y cuyas estrategias de control deben orientarse el conocimiento de la ecología de las interacciones del protozoo, sus hospederos y el suelo

Agua para el desarrollo regional en los Altos de Jalisco. Gestión del agua e impacto social del proyecto El Zapotillo.

Este trabajo es resultado de una investigación dedicada al análisis de impactos sociales relacionados con la gestión del agua (subterránea y superficial) en Los Altos de Jalisco. Esta es una región de alta productividad pecuaria, donde se desarrolla el proyecto hidráulico El Zapotillo, una iniciativa gubernamental con participación privada que ha generado una importante polémica en el contexto estatal, nacional e internacional. El debate gira entorno a la distribución de aguas superficiales, el equilibrio de los acuíferos, el cambio climático y la importancia que tiene el agua en los medios de vida de la población que sería directa e indirectamente afectada por la presa, el trasvase y por la reserva de volúmenes de aguas disponibles. Este trabajo busca aportar a la reflexión sobre la gestión regional del agua en Jalisco y pretende detonar inquietudes que abonen a buscar, identificar y construir alternativas más sustentables que atiendan de manera integral los retos y la urgente necesidad de agua que tienen tanto el campo como la ciudades.Asociación Ganadera Local de San Juan de Los Lagos, Jalisc

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

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

OBSERVACIONES HISTOLÓGICAS DE ESTRUCTURAS CELULARES ASOCIADAS A Spongospora subterranea f sp. subterranea EN PAPA HISTOLOGY OBSERVATIONS OF CELLULAR STRUCTURES ASSOCIATED TO Spongospora subterranea f sp. subterranea IN POTATO

The goal in this study was to make observations of cellular associate structures to S. subterranea f. sp. subterranea in potato plants in different phenologycal stages naturally infected by the pathogen, with root galls or symptomless. For this proposal were carried out observations at light microscopy, means by were identified all phases of S. subterranea in all symptomless plants. It was demostrated that in radicular tissues of potato not always galls are indicative of infection, plants without symptoms can have protozoa structures, beside associated structures to S. subterranea as plasmodium an sporangium aggregate, are commonly found and coincident with some structures frequently reporter in wild hosts; this appreciations, allows to propose that this microorganism is common in soils, associated with wild and cultivate species, causing important disturbs specially on potato plants, where control strategies should be oriented towards the knowledge of ecology of interactions protozoa, its host and soil

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
