XVI International Congress of Control Electronics and Telecommunications: "Techno-scientific considerations for a post-pandemic world intensive in knowledge, innovation and sustainable local development"

Este título, sugestivo por los impactos durante la situación de la Covid 19 en el mundo, y que en Colombia lastimosamente han sido muy críticos, permiten asumir la obligada superación de tensiones sociales, políticas, y económicas; pero sobre todo científicas y tecnológicas. Inicialmente, esto supone la existencia de una capacidad de la sociedad colombiana por recuperar su estado inicial después de que haya cesado la perturbación a la que fue sometida por la catastrófica pandemia, y superar ese anterior estado de cosas ya que se encontraban -y aún se encuentran- muchos problemas locales mal resueltos, medianamente resueltos, y muchos sin resolver: es decir, habrá que rediseñar y fortalecer una probada resiliencia social existente - producto del prolongado conflicto social colombiano superado parcialmente por un proceso de paz exitoso - desde la tecnociencia local; como lo indicaba Markus Brunnermeier - economista alemán y catedrático de economía de la Universidad de Princeton- en su libro The Resilient Society…La cuestión no es preveerlo todo sino poder reaccionar…aprender a recuperarse rápido.This title, suggestive of the impacts during the Covid 19 situation in the world, and which have unfortunately been very critical in Colombia, allows us to assume the obligatory overcoming of social, political, and economic tensions; but above all scientific and technological. Initially, this supposes the existence of a capacity of Colombian society to recover its initial state after the disturbance to which it was subjected by the catastrophic pandemic has ceased, and to overcome that previous state of affairs since it was found -and still is find - many local problems poorly resolved, moderately resolved, and many unresolved: that is, an existing social resilience test will have to be redesigned and strengthened - product of the prolonged Colombian social conflict partially overcome by a successful peace process - from local technoscience; As Markus Brunnermeier - German economist and professor of economics at Princeton University - indicates in his book The Resilient Society...The question is not to foresee everything but to be able to react...learn to recover quickly.Bogot

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

Biological activity of <em>Nothoscordum bivalve </em>(L.) Britton and <em>Parthenium incanum </em>Kunth extracts

699-706Medicinal properties of Nothoscordum bivalve (false garlic) have not been reported, while Parthenium incanum (mariola) is used to treat stomach and liver diseases. The aim of this work was to evaluate in vitro different biological activities of these plants to assess their pharmacological potential. Extracts were obtained by maceration or Soxhlet sequential solvent extraction. The extracts were tested by inhibiting the growth of Acinetobacter baumannii, besides for the techniques of Artemiasalina toxicity, cytotoxicity in human erythrocytes, cytoprotective, antioxidant capacity, quantification of soluble phenols and coagulation tests. MBC´s obtained were between 7.50±0.54 and 8.50±0.54 mg/mL. Toxicity assays showed LD50 from 380 to 1882 µg/mL. Cytotoxicity was between 0 and 92.98 %. Cytoprotective effect indicated 0 to 94.58 %. Antioxidant capacity levels of extracts were between 275.55±21 and 598.99±4 µmol TE/g. Soluble phenolics concentrations between 1.35±0.07 and 4.13±0.04 g GAE/100 g were observed. Regarding coagulation assays, only one P. incanum extract showed significant difference (p < 0.05) in the PT assay. Extracts from the sequential extraction showed less toxicity and cytotoxicity, and greater antioxidant and cytoprotective capacity; they also showed no significant prolongation in the extrinsic pathway of coagulation, and a significant (although small) prolongation in the intrinsic coagulation pathway

Recomendaciones para el uso racional de la prueba 25-hidroxi vitamina D Policy Brief

El incremento exponencial en la solicitud de pruebas de laboratorio de 25-Hidroxivitamina D o [25(OH)D ha encendido las alarmas y generado un fuerte llamado de atención, dado que puede reflejar falencias en la estandarización de la práctica clínica y en el uso no sistemático de la evidencia científica para la toma de decisiones en la vida real, que permitan analizar las indicaciones de la prueba, su frecuencia, interpretación e incluso para valorar el impacto para los sistemas de salud, especialmente cuando se contrasta con los mínimos o casi nulos efectos de la estrategia de tamizar o suplir indiscriminadamente a la población general, sin considerar una evaluación clínica integral de riesgos y necesidades de las personas. Desde un punto de vista meramente de impacto en salud pública, la consecuencia de solicitudes masivas y no indicadas, están afectando a la mayoría de los sistemas e instituciones de salud a nivel global. Los estudios primarios que determinaban valores de ingesta promedio poblacional, han sido ampliamente utilizados en la formulación de recomendaciones en Guías de Práctica Clínica (GPC), pero lastimosamente interpretados de forma errónea como puntos de corte para diagnosticar enfermedad y permitir la exagerada prescripción de esquemas de suplencia. El coeficiente de variación en los ensayos de rutina para medir niveles sanguíneos de 25(OH)D3 es alto (28%), disminuyendo la precisión global de la prueba y de forma simultánea, incrementando tanto los valores falsamente altos como falsamente bajos. La evidencia científica más reciente, analiza y cuestiona seriamente, la utilidad y el efecto real de la práctica masiva e indiscriminada de prescribir vitamina D sin un análisis exhaustivo de riesgo. La evidencia disponible es insuficiente para recomendar de forma general la suplencia de vitamina D para prevenir fracturas, caídas, cambios en la densidad mineral ósea, incidencia de enfermedades cardiovasculares, enfermedad cerebrovascular, neoplasias y tampoco en modificar la curva de crecimiento de hijos de madres que recibieron vitamina D como suplencia durante la gestación. Las recomendaciones presentadas en el documento se sustentan en el análisis crítico de la evidencia actual y en los principios de buenas prácticas clínicas e invitan a considerar un uso racional de las pruebas de 25(OH)D en el contexto de una práctica clínica centrada en las personas y una evaluación integral de necesidades y riesgos. Los principios de buena práctica sugieren que los clínicos puedan ser capaces de justificar que los resultados de la prueba de 25(OH)D influyen de manera contundente y definida la práctica clínica y modifican los desenlaces que interesan a las personas e impactan en su salud y bienestar. En la actualidad no hay claridad de cómo interpretar los resultados, y la relación entre los síntomas y los niveles de 25(OH)D, la cual, podría no ser consistente con la alta prevalencia de deficiencia de vitamina D reportada. Por tal razón, se sugiere revisar la racionalidad de la solicitud de pruebas para monitoreo sistemático de niveles de 25(OH)D o en todos los casos donde se realiza suplencia. Considerar el uso de las pruebas de 25(OH)D dentro de la evaluación integral de personas con sospecha o confirmación de las siguientes condiciones: raquitismo, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, híper o hipo paratiroidismo, síndromes de mala absorción, sarcopenia, enfermedad ósea metabólica

Coherent J/ψ photoproduction in ultra-peripheral Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV

The ALICE Collaboration has made the first measurement at the LHC of J/ψ photoproduction in ultra-peripheral Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV. The J/ψ is identified via its dimuon decay in the forward rapidity region with the muon spectrometer for events where the hadronic activity is required to be minimal. The analysis is based on an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 55 μb−1. The cross section for coherent J/ψ production in the rapidity interval −3.6<y<−2.6 is measured to be dσJ/ψcoh/dy=1.00±0.18(stat)−0.26+0.24(syst) mb. The result is compared to theoretical models for coherent J/ψ production and found to be in good agreement with those models which include nuclear gluon shadowing

Multi-strange baryon production in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV with ALICE

A measurement of the multi-strange Ξ− and Ω− baryons and their antiparticles by the ALICE experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is presented for inelastic proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The transverse momentum (pT) distributions were studied at mid-rapidity (|y|6.0 GeV/c. We also illustrate the difference between the experimental data and model by comparing the corresponding ratios of (Ω−+Ω¯+)/(Ξ−+Ξ¯+) as a function of transverse mass

Inclusive J/ψ production in pp collisions at √s=2.76 TeV

The ALICE Collaboration has measured inclusive J/ψ production in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy √s=2.76 TeV at the LHC. The results presented in this Letter refer to the rapidity ranges |y|<0.9 and 2.5<y<4 and have been obtained by measuring the electron and muon pair decay channels, respectively. The integrated luminosities for the two channels are Linte=1.1 nb−1 and Lintμ=19.9 nb−1, and the corresponding signal statistics are NJ/ψe+e−=59±14 and NJ/ψμ+μ−=1364±53. We present dσJ/ψ/dy for the two rapidity regions under study and, for the forward-y range, d2σJ/ψ/dydpt in the transverse momentum domain 0<pt<8 GeV/c. The results are compared with previously published results at s=7 TeV and with theoretical calculations
