En la costa aún sin mar

Los trabajos que conforman este volumen son una muestra de la presencia y actualidad de la obra de César Vallejo. Su poesía aún da lugar a nuevas y diversas interpretaciones; también a ciertas reconsideraciones. Asimismo, la narrativa del escritor peruano, poco atendida, está presente y exige estudio además de revalorización. La persona y obra de César Vallejo, en fin, son actuales incluso como un fenómeno metapoético.César Vallejo es un escritor esencial en el ámbito de la literatura contemporánea. Su obra literaria, escrita a principios del siglo pasado, sigue vigente. En su poesía, en particular, captó la sensibilidad de toda una época. Asimismo, supo traducir lo que él llamaba “el ritmo interior y el espíritu que se desprende de la realidad actual”. En cuanto a su obra en prosa, los estudios recientes dan muestra de su importancia, valor social y artístico. A casi cien años de la publicación de libros como Trilce y Los heraldos negros, la obra de César Vallejo sigue siendo fuente de goce estético y, por su complejidad, de búsqueda de conocimiento profundo de la realidad social y humana

Terapia postimplante de cardiodesfibrilador como prevención primaria y secundaria de muerte súbita en la Fundación Abood Shaio: seguimiento a un año

Therapy after the implant of cardioverter-defibrillator in the primary and secundary prevention of sudden death during the first year of follow up in the a clinic of fourth level of complexity.Background: the implant of cardioverter-defibrillator has changes the pronostic in the primary and secondary prevention in the patients with suden death. There are a lot of evidence that supports that the therapies of the CDI (antitachycardia and shocks) have impact on the morbimortality of the patients with Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators, besides the effect proarritmogenic. Objective: It is for determining which is the incidence of appropriate and inappropriate therapies in our population of patients with Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators for primary and secondary prevention of sudden death. Materials and Methods: we describe a case series of patients with cardioverter-defibrillator as the primary and secondary prevention of sudden death in a clinic of fourth level of complexity. Results: the incidence of therapy of the Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators after implant in patients with primary and secondary prevention of sudden death to the first year of follow-up was 44 %. The incidence of apropiate therapy of the Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators after implant in patients with primary prevention of sudden death to the first year of follow-up was the 26,3 %.The incidence of apropiate therapy of the Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators after implant in patients with secondary prevention of sudden death to the first year of follow-up was the 53 %. The half of the patients with Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators afterimpant for primary prevention or secondary had apropiate therapies during the first year of follow - up.36 % of the patients presented inappropriate therapies during the year of follow-up after first implat of the Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators. Conclusions: The therapies after to the implant of cardioverter-Defibrillator were near to the half of the patients, being more frecuent in the secundary prevention. These events may be present in the different pathologies , and to be apropiate and inapropiate. The complications of procedure may be acutes and chronics.

Hay suficiente evidencia que soporta que las terapias del cardiodesfibrilador, antitaquicardia y choques; tienen impacto sobre la morbimortalidad de los pacientes portadores del mismo, además del efecto proarritmogénico. Objetivo: está por determinar cuál es la incidencia de terapias apropiadas e inapropiadas en nuestra población de pacientes portadores de cardiodesfibrilador por prevención primaria y secundaria de muerte súbita. Materiales y métodos: se describe una serie de casos de pacientes a quienes se les implantó un cardiodesfibrilador como prevención primaria y secundaria de muerte súbita en una institución de cuarto nivel de complejidad. Resultados: la incidencia de terapia del cardiodesfibrilador implantable postimplante en pacientes con prevención primaria y secundaria de muerte súbita al primer año de seguimiento fue 44%. La incidencia de terapia apropiada del cardiodesfibrilador postimplante en pacientes con prevención primaria de muerte súbita al primer año de seguimiento fue 26,3%. La incidencia de terapia apropiada del cardiodesfibrilador postimplante en pacientes con prevención secundaria de muerte súbita al primer año de seguimiento fue 53%. La mitad de los pacientes postimplante de cardiodesfibrilador implantable como prevención primaria o secundaria presentaron terapias apropiadas durante el seguimiento a un año. Los pacientes que presentaron terapias inapropiadas durante el año de seguimiento posterior al primoimplante de cardiodesfibrilador fueron 36%. Conclusiones: la terapia posterior al implante de cardiodesfibrilador se presentó casi en la mitad de los pacientes, siendo más frecuente en prevención secundaria. Estos episodios se pueden presentar en diferentes patologías y pueden ser apropiados e inapropiados. Las complicaciones del procedimiento pueden ser agudas y crónicas.(MÉD.UIS. 2011;24(3):253-63).Palabras clave: Cardiodesfibrilador implantable. Muerte súbita. Prevención primaria.

Comprehensive description of clinical characteristics of a large systemic Lupus Erythematosus Cohort from the Spanish Rheumatology Society Lupus Registry (RELESSER) with emphasis on complete versus incomplete lupus differences

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by multiple organ involvement and pronounced racial and ethnic heterogeneity. The aims of the present work were (1) to describe the cumulative clinical characteristics of those patients included in the Spanish Rheumatology Society SLE Registry (RELESSER), focusing on the differences between patients who fulfilled the 1997 ACR-SLE criteria versus those with less than 4 criteria (hereafter designated as incomplete SLE (iSLE)) and (2) to compare SLE patient characteristics with those documented in other multicentric SLE registries. RELESSER is a multicenter hospital-based registry, with a collection of data from a large, representative sample of adult patients with SLE (1997 ACR criteria) seen at Spanish rheumatology departments. The registry includes demographic data, comprehensive descriptions of clinical manifestations, as well as information about disease activity and severity, cumulative damage, comorbidities, treatments and mortality, using variables with highly standardized definitions. A total of 4.024 SLE patients (91% with ≥4 ACR criteria) were included. Ninety percent were women with a mean age at diagnosis of 35.4 years and a median duration of disease of 11.0 years. As expected, most SLE manifestations were more frequent in SLE patients than in iSLE ones and every one of the ACR criteria was also associated with SLE condition; this was particularly true of malar rash, oral ulcers and renal disorder. The analysis-adjusted by gender, age at diagnosis, and disease duration-revealed that higher disease activity, damage and SLE severity index are associated with SLE [OR: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.08-1.20 (P < 0.001); 1.29; 95% CI: 1.15-1.44 (P < 0.001); and 2.10; 95% CI: 1.83-2.42 (P < 0.001), respectively]. These results support the hypothesis that iSLE behaves as a relative stable and mild disease. SLE patients from the RELESSER register do not appear to differ substantially from other Caucasian populations and although activity [median SELENA-SLEDA: 2 (IQ: 0-4)], damage [median SLICC/ACR/DI: 1 (IQ: 0-2)], and severity [median KATZ index: 2 (IQ: 1-3)] scores were low, 1 of every 4 deaths was due to SLE activity. RELESSER represents the largest European SLE registry established to date, providing comprehensive, reliable and updated information on SLE in the southern European population

Constraints on the χ_(c1) versus χ_(c2) polarizations in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV

The polarizations of promptly produced χ_(c1) and χ_(c2) mesons are studied using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, in proton-proton collisions at √s=8  TeV. The χ_c states are reconstructed via their radiative decays χ_c → J/ψγ, with the photons being measured through conversions to e⁺e⁻, which allows the two states to be well resolved. The polarizations are measured in the helicity frame, through the analysis of the χ_(c2) to χ_(c1) yield ratio as a function of the polar or azimuthal angle of the positive muon emitted in the J/ψ → μ⁺μ⁻ decay, in three bins of J/ψ transverse momentum. While no differences are seen between the two states in terms of azimuthal decay angle distributions, they are observed to have significantly different polar anisotropies. The measurement favors a scenario where at least one of the two states is strongly polarized along the helicity quantization axis, in agreement with nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics predictions. This is the first measurement of significantly polarized quarkonia produced at high transverse momentum
