    Existe un problema aparente, expresado en que hoy muchas de las Empresas Prestadoras de Salud se enfrentan más que nunca al reto de asimilar fuertes y continuos cambios, no sólo del entorno, sino también sociales, medios tecnológicos, nuevas regularizaciones y legislaciones, recursos de capital, sumado a esto adolecen de un Direccionamiento Estratégico adecuado que les permita vislumbrar a las Zonas Francas como un mecanismo para estimular la inversión, ampliar la cobertura y lograr la internacionalización de los servicios en salud. Para tratar de subsanar esta problemática se requiere pues, tomar decisiones dentro del ámbito empresarial para poder adaptarse a este cambiante y complejo mundo. Este proceso recibe la denominación de dirección estratégica. Aplicando el Modelo de direccionamiento estratégico propuesto en este trabajo aspiramos generar mayor competitividad ofreciendo un excelente servicio con calidad, y optimización de los beneficios que ofrece la normatividad tributaria existente en cuanto a las zonas francas. Todos estos beneficios que obtienen las entidades de salud ubicadas en las zonas francas es posible trasladarlos en parte al usuario final, logrando asi masificar el servicio con las exportaciones de estos y pudiendo obtener ganancias adicionales si se logra empaquetar las servicios de salud con el turismo, no solo para los pacientes sino también para sus acompañantes.There is an apparent problem, expressed in today many companies providing health more than ever facing the challenge of assimilating strong and continuous changes not only the environment but also social, technological resources, new adjustments and legislation, capital resources, in addition to that suffer from a Strategic Management to enable them to envision the Free Zones as a mechanism to encourage investment, expand coverage and achieve the internationalization of health services for their companions. To try to remedy this problem requires it, make decisions within the business to adapt to this hanging and complex world. This process is referred to as strategic direction. Applying the strategic management model proposed in this paper we aim to generate more competitive by providing excellent service quality and optimizing the benefits of existing tax regulations in the zones. All these benefits derived by health agencies located in the zones is possible to move in part to the end user, thus ensuring the service massively export of these and additional profits can be achieved if the health are package with tourism not only for patients but also for their companions

    The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a serious problem for public health since it was identified in the province of Wuhan (China) and spread around the world producing high mortality rates and economic losses. Nowadays, WHO recognizes traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine for treating COVID-19 symptoms. Therefore, we investigated the antiviral potential of the hydroalcoholic extract of Uncaria tomentosa stem bark from Peru against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. The antiviral activity of U. tomentosa against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro was assessed in Vero E6 cells using cytopathic effect (CPE) and plaque reduction assay. After 48h of treatment, U. tomentosa showed an inhibition of 92.7 % of SARS-CoV-2 at 25.0 µg/mL (p<0.0001) by plaque reduction assay on Vero E6 cells. In addition, U. tomentosa, induced a reduction of 98.6 % (p=0.02) and 92.7 % (p=0.03) in the CPE caused by SARS-CoV-2 on Vero E6 cells at 25 µg/mL and 12.5 µg/mL, respectively. The EC50 calculated for U. tomentosa extract by plaque reduction assay was 6.6 µg/mL (4.89 – 8.85 µg/mL) for a selectivity index of 4.1. The EC50 calculated for U. tomentosa extract by TCID50 assay was 2.57 µg/mL (1.05 – 3.75 µg/mL) for a selectivity index of 10.54. These results showed that U. tomentosa known as Cat´s claw has antiviral effect against SARS-CoV-2 observed as a reduction in the viral titer and CPE after 48h of treatment on Vero E6 cells. Therefore, we hypothesized that U. tomentosa stem bark, could be promissory to the development of new therapeutic strategies against SARS-CoV-2.The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a serious problem for public health since it was identified in the province of Wuhan (China) and spread around the world producing high mortality rates and economic losses.

    Proceso para el desarrollo de una vacuna contra la fase hepática de Plasmodium vivax

    No full text
    Introducción: Anualmente se producen en el mundo entre 80 y 100 millones de casos de malaria ocasionada por Plasmodium vivax, segunda especie de Plasmodium en importancia a nivel mundial y primera en el continente americano. Ante la falla de los métodos clásicos de control de la malaria, derivada de la creciente resistencia de los mosquitos a los insecticidas y de los parásitos a los medicamentos disponibles, se ha trabajado intensamente en la búsqueda de vacunas que puedan prevenir completamente la infección o limitar los efectos patológicos de la enfermedad. Objetivos: Este trabajo describe el proceso de desarrollo de una vacuna experimental dirigida contra las formas pre-eritrocíticas del parásito, para lo cual se ha seleccionado la proteína circumesporozoito (CS) que se expresa de forma abundante en la superficie del parásito y que se halla comprometida en el proceso de invasión hepática. Metodología: El proceso consistió en una exhaustiva caracterización inmunológica de la proteína, mediante péptidos sintéticos de diferente longitud, seguida de pruebas de toxicidad e inmunogenicidad en animales con los tres péptidos largos que cubren las regiones N, R y C de la CS. Como etapa inicial de la prueba en humanos, se hizo un ensayo clínico fase I que probó la seguridad e inmunogenicidad, de cada uno de los péptidos formulados en el adyuvante Montanide ISA-720. El ensayo fue al azar, doble ciego y comprometió a 23 voluntarios sanos, hombres y mujeres entre 18 y 33 años de edad, sin historia de malaria. Conclusiones: La vacuna fue muy bien tolerada y demostró buena seguridad e inmunogenicidad en los ensayos preclínicos así como en todos los voluntarios, facilitando el avance a ulteriores fases de investigación clínica. Introduction: Plasmodium vivax causes approximately 80-100 million clinical cases every year. It is the most prevalent human malaria parasite in the American continent and its prevalence is second only to P. falciparum worldwide. Due to the emergence of medication-resistant parasites and an increase in insecticide-resistant mosquitoes, research to find a vaccine that could prevent or limit the clinical manifestations of the disease has increased greatly. During the last two decades, significant progress has been achieved in this attempt; however, the development of a P. vivax vaccine has been hampered due to the lack of sustainable in vitro parasite cultures. Objectives: We describe the development and testing of a vaccine to P. vivax pre-erythrocytic stages. We selected the circumsporozoite (CS) protein, an antigen abundantly expressed on the parasite surface. Methodology: After extensive immunological characterization in vitro, three long peptides (N, R and C) were synthesized, and the toxicity and immunogenicity of these peptides were thoroughly assessed in animals. To determine the safety and immunogenicity in humans, a randomized, double blind clinical trial was conducted. The trial included 23 healthy volunteers who received 100 μg of N, R and C of each peptide formulated in Montanide ISA-720 adjuvant. Conclusions: The vaccination was well tolerated and proven to be safe in both animals and volunteers; thus, additional clinical trials utilizing this vaccine candidate are indicated

    Watersheds are fundamental units of analysis for the development of planning and management processes. Understanding their dynamics, structure, and functioning is the basis for territory planning and decision-making. However, their functionality and sustainable use depend on the information and knowledge of these ecosystems, as well as their regimes and responsiveness against anthropogenic interventions, variability, and climate change. This book provides tools and methodologies for the planning and evaluation of water resources, as well as for the formulation and implementation of mechanisms for adaptation to climate change and integrated watershed management. The publication “Integral management of the upper basin of the Magdalena River: tools for its evaluation and planning” is the result of research carried out by students, professors, and graduates from the School of Agricultural, Livestock and Environmental Sciences (ECAPMA, for its Spanish acronym) of UNAD (Spanish acronym for Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia), and the research group Inyumacizo, classified in an A Category group according to the Colombian Ministry of Sciences—MinCiencias.Las cuencas hidrográficas se constituyen en unidades fundamentales de análisis para el desarrollo de procesos de planificación y gestión.
