In the same way, it becomes the pretext through which each of the authors of the work reflects on their pedagogical practice and to that extent discovers new meanings of the world and of their own existence. This study also allows us to look at the curricularization processes that are taking place in the Identity program, which, because they are related to the formation of people, have special importance for the University because they point to its reason for being, that is, its formative function

Algae and cyanobacteria in the rhizosphere of lead accumulator plants

Las especies de algas y cyanobacteria que crecen en sitios contaminados pueden acumular altas concentraciones de metales pesados.En este trabajo se propuso a) caracterizar la comunidad de algas y cyanobacteria y b) evaluar el efecto del plomo (Pb) sobre la composición de algas presentes en la rizosfera de plantas capaces de acumular Pb en la provincia de Córdoba. Se tomaron muestras de suelo de la rizosfera de Sorghum halepense, Bidenspilosa y Tagetes minuta en sitios con diferentes niveles de Pb. En el laboratorio,el suelo se sembró en cápsulas con medio de Watanabe esterilizado. Los cultivos crecieron 9 semanas. Se identificó en el tiempo y analizó la frecuencia relativa final de las algas y cyanobacteria. En suelos contaminados se identificaron 24 especies de Cyanobacteria,Chloroplastida y Xanthophyceae. Las cyanobacteria con heterocitos Cylindrospermum muscicola, Nostoc commune y Calothrix clavata registraron una frecuencia media relativa (entre 21 y 60%). Trebouxia parmeliae (Chloroplastida)y Vaucheria sp. (Xanthophyceae) estuvieron presentes en los suelos con mayor nivel de Pb. La mayor parte de las especies se concentraron en los niveles más bajos de Pb. Se observó un efecto negativo del Pb sobre la riqueza de especies de algas y cyanobacteria en la rizosfera de las plantas evaluadas. En base a la composición de la comunidad de algas y cyanobacteria del suelo se determinaron grandes grupos que podrían ser considerados como comunidades tolerantes y no tolerantes a la contaminación de Pb.Fil: Becerra, Alejandra Gabriela.

El lado humano de la sostenibilidad : reflexiones desde lo privado y lo público

1 documento en PDF de 31 páginasPara hablar de sostenibilidad, es preciso aclarar que el término va más allá del concepto medio ambiente; aborda todas las actividades del ser humano, desde su ámbito privado y cotidiano, hasta las acciones públicas que comparte con diferentes actores sociales; de tal manera que unos y otros son responsables del equilibrio de la vida. Los autores de este libro, por ejemplo, investigan y analizan el concepto de cuidado y sus dinámicas al interior de la familia, la percepción masculina del cuidado doméstico; cómo se perciben e interiorizan los términos educación y ciudadanía en la vida cotidiana; qué significa la discapacidad y cómo funcionan las familias con integrantes discapacitados. Y así como se tocan temas que, por su carácter doméstico y corriente, afectan la balanza de la sostenibilidad, de igual manera se revisan otros con igual o mayor peso en la sostenibilidad humana, como la responsabilidad social empresarial y la gobernanza del sistema de salud. El Cuidado En El Ámbito Privado || El Cuidado En El Ámbito Públic

Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality

Goodbye Hartmann trial: a prospective, international, multicenter, observational study on the current use of a surgical procedure developed a century ago

Background: Literature suggests colonic resection and primary anastomosis (RPA) instead of Hartmann's procedure (HP) for the treatment of left-sided colonic emergencies. We aim to evaluate the surgical options globally used to treat patients with acute left-sided colonic emergencies and the factors that leading to the choice of treatment, comparing HP and RPA. Methods: This is a prospective, international, multicenter, observational study registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. A total 1215 patients with left-sided colonic emergencies who required surgery were included from 204 centers during the period of March 1, 2020, to May 31, 2020. with a 1-year follow-up. Results: 564 patients (43.1%) were females. The mean age was 65.9 ± 15.6 years. HP was performed in 697 (57.3%) patients and RPA in 384 (31.6%) cases. Complicated acute diverticulitis was the most common cause of left-sided colonic emergencies (40.2%), followed by colorectal malignancy (36.6%). Severe complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3b) were higher in the HP group (P < 0.001). 30-day mortality was higher in HP patients (13.7%), especially in case of bowel perforation and diffused peritonitis. 1-year follow-up showed no differences on ostomy reversal rate between HP and RPA. (P = 0.127). A backward likelihood logistic regression model showed that RPA was preferred in younger patients, having low ASA score (≤ 3), in case of large bowel obstruction, absence of colonic ischemia, longer time from admission to surgery, operating early at the day working hours, by a surgeon who performed more than 50 colorectal resections. Conclusions: After 100 years since the first Hartmann's procedure, HP remains the most common treatment for left-sided colorectal emergencies. Treatment's choice depends on patient characteristics, the time of surgery and the experience of the surgeon. RPA should be considered as the gold standard for surgery, with HP being an exception

Canagliflozin and renal outcomes in type 2 diabetes and nephropathy

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of kidney failure worldwide, but few effective long-term treatments are available. In cardiovascular trials of inhibitors of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), exploratory results have suggested that such drugs may improve renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS In this double-blind, randomized trial, we assigned patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease to receive canagliflozin, an oral SGLT2 inhibitor, at a dose of 100 mg daily or placebo. All the patients had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 30 to <90 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area and albuminuria (ratio of albumin [mg] to creatinine [g], >300 to 5000) and were treated with renin–angiotensin system blockade. The primary outcome was a composite of end-stage kidney disease (dialysis, transplantation, or a sustained estimated GFR of <15 ml per minute per 1.73 m2), a doubling of the serum creatinine level, or death from renal or cardiovascular causes. Prespecified secondary outcomes were tested hierarchically. RESULTS The trial was stopped early after a planned interim analysis on the recommendation of the data and safety monitoring committee. At that time, 4401 patients had undergone randomization, with a median follow-up of 2.62 years. The relative risk of the primary outcome was 30% lower in the canagliflozin group than in the placebo group, with event rates of 43.2 and 61.2 per 1000 patient-years, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.59 to 0.82; P=0.00001). The relative risk of the renal-specific composite of end-stage kidney disease, a doubling of the creatinine level, or death from renal causes was lower by 34% (hazard ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.81; P<0.001), and the relative risk of end-stage kidney disease was lower by 32% (hazard ratio, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.54 to 0.86; P=0.002). The canagliflozin group also had a lower risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke (hazard ratio, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.67 to 0.95; P=0.01) and hospitalization for heart failure (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.80; P<0.001). There were no significant differences in rates of amputation or fracture. CONCLUSIONS In patients with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease, the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular events was lower in the canagliflozin group than in the placebo group at a median follow-up of 2.62 years

Impact of COVID-19 on cardiovascular testing in the United States versus the rest of the world

Objectives: This study sought to quantify and compare the decline in volumes of cardiovascular procedures between the United States and non-US institutions during the early phase of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the care of many non-COVID-19 illnesses. Reductions in diagnostic cardiovascular testing around the world have led to concerns over the implications of reduced testing for cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Methods: Data were submitted to the INCAPS-COVID (International Atomic Energy Agency Non-Invasive Cardiology Protocols Study of COVID-19), a multinational registry comprising 909 institutions in 108 countries (including 155 facilities in 40 U.S. states), assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of diagnostic cardiovascular procedures. Data were obtained for April 2020 and compared with volumes of baseline procedures from March 2019. We compared laboratory characteristics, practices, and procedure volumes between U.S. and non-U.S. facilities and between U.S. geographic regions and identified factors associated with volume reduction in the United States. Results: Reductions in the volumes of procedures in the United States were similar to those in non-U.S. facilities (68% vs. 63%, respectively; p = 0.237), although U.S. facilities reported greater reductions in invasive coronary angiography (69% vs. 53%, respectively; p < 0.001). Significantly more U.S. facilities reported increased use of telehealth and patient screening measures than non-U.S. facilities, such as temperature checks, symptom screenings, and COVID-19 testing. Reductions in volumes of procedures differed between U.S. regions, with larger declines observed in the Northeast (76%) and Midwest (74%) than in the South (62%) and West (44%). Prevalence of COVID-19, staff redeployments, outpatient centers, and urban centers were associated with greater reductions in volume in U.S. facilities in a multivariable analysis. Conclusions: We observed marked reductions in U.S. cardiovascular testing in the early phase of the pandemic and significant variability between U.S. regions. The association between reductions of volumes and COVID-19 prevalence in the United States highlighted the need for proactive efforts to maintain access to cardiovascular testing in areas most affected by outbreaks of COVID-19 infection

Design and baseline characteristics of the finerenone in reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in diabetic kidney disease trial

Background: Among people with diabetes, those with kidney disease have exceptionally high rates of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality and progression of their underlying kidney disease. Finerenone is a novel, nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that has shown to reduce albuminuria in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) while revealing only a low risk of hyperkalemia. However, the effect of finerenone on CV and renal outcomes has not yet been investigated in long-term trials. Patients and Methods: The Finerenone in Reducing CV Mortality and Morbidity in Diabetic Kidney Disease (FIGARO-DKD) trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of finerenone compared to placebo at reducing clinically important CV and renal outcomes in T2D patients with CKD. FIGARO-DKD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, event-driven trial running in 47 countries with an expected duration of approximately 6 years. FIGARO-DKD randomized 7,437 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate >= 25 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio >= 30 to <= 5,000 mg/g). The study has at least 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in the risk of the primary outcome (overall two-sided significance level alpha = 0.05), the composite of time to first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure. Conclusions: FIGARO-DKD will determine whether an optimally treated cohort of T2D patients with CKD at high risk of CV and renal events will experience cardiorenal benefits with the addition of finerenone to their treatment regimen.

Diversidad de algas creciendo en la rizosfera de plantas acumuladoras de plomo

En un sitio contaminado las algas que crecen poseen un gran potencial para acumular altas concentraciones de metales pesados. El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir la riqueza de especies de algas presentes en la rizosfera de plantas acumuladoras de plomo (Pb) en la provincia de Córdoba. Las muestras de suelo se tomaron de la rizosfera (0-10 cm) de Sorghum halepense, Bidens pilosa y Tagetes minuta a diferentes concentraciones de Pb (14-16.186 μg.g-1). En laboratorio, el suelo se sembró en cápsulas de Petri con medio de Watanabe esterilizado. Los cultivos crecieron en cámara bajo condiciones controladas de luz y temperatura por 9 semanas. Se identificaron 24 especies de Cyanobacteria, 1 especie de Chloroplastida y de Xanthophyceae. Las cianobacterias heterocistadas mostraron una frecuencia relativa entre 21 y 60% en suelos contaminados. A mayor nivel de Pb estuvieron presentes Chloroplastida (Trebouxia parmeliae) y Xanthophyceae (Vaucheria sp.). Bidens pilosa presentó el mayor número de especies (12) de algas en suelos con baja concentración de Pb. Conocer los microorganismos que se adaptan a ambientes extremos son algunas de las alternativas a tener en cuenta para la recuperación de los suelos contaminados de Córdoba.Fil: Becerra, Alejandra Gabriela.
