Cambios en la calidad poscosecha de salvia (Salvia officinalis) almacenada bajo condiciones de frigoconservación

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low temperatures on the postharvest quality of sage (Salvia officinalis L.). For this, the plants were stored at 0º to 6ºC with compared to 23 ± 2ºC (control) and packed in polyethylene bags, low density for 21 days. During this period were evaluated every three days: respiration rate (TR), production of ethylene (PE), weight loss (WL), total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), the total chlorophyll (CLT), color (*L, *C, ºh) and vitamin C (VtC). Additionally, through a sensory evaluation: visual appearance, color scale, yellowing, leaf abscission and decay. The use of cooling (0º to 6ºC) maintained the TR and PE values were 15.4 to 22.9 mL CO2·kg-1 · h-1 and 0.06 to 0.46mL ethylene · kg-1 · h-1, respectively. The use of cooling diminished WL up to 40% sage. The CT and CL were stored for up to 15 days to 6ºC. The VtC gradually decreased, but this decrease were more evident in the treatment at 23ºC. The best treatment was 0ºC, since, allowed prolong the quality of sage up to 12 days, contrary to the treatments to 6º and 23ºC where quality only maintained for up to 9 and 6 days, respectively.El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de temperaturas bajas sobre la calidad poscosecha de salvia (Salvia officinalis L.). Para ello, las plantas fueron empacadas en bolsas de polietileno de baja densidad y almacenadas por 21 días a 0±2 y 6±2ºC y un testigo a 23±2ºC. Durante este período cada tres días se evaluó: tasa de respiración (TR), producción de etileno (PE), pérdida de peso (PP), sólidos solubles totales (SST), acidez titulable (AT), clorofila total (CT), color (*L, *C, ºh) y vitamina C (VitC). Adicionalmente, mediante evaluación sensorial, se determinó: apariencia visual, escala de color, amarillamiento, abscisión de hojas y pudriciones. El uso de refrigeración (0º y 6ºC) mantuvo la TR y PE con valores de 15,4 a 22,9 mL CO2·kg-1·h-1 y de 0,06 a 0,46mL etileno·kg-1·h-1, respectivamente. El uso de refrigeración disminuyó la pérdida de peso en salvia hasta un 40%. La CT y el CL se conservaron por 15 días a 6ºC. El contenido de vitamina C decreció progresivamente, y fue significativamente menor en el tratamiento a 23ºC. La refrigeración a 0ºC, permitió prolongar la calidad de la salvia por 12 días, mientras que a 6º y 23ºC, solo se mantuvo por 9 y 6 días, respectivamente

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

Effect of storage temperature on enzyme activity and antioxidant capacity in Salvia officinalis L. shoots

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto de las bajas temperaturas sobre la capacidad antioxidante y actividad enzimática en salvia (Salvia officinalis L.). Para ello, se almacenaron brotes terminales de esta planta, previamente empacados en bolsas de polietileno en 0, 6 y 23 °C (testigo), durante 21 días. Cada tres días, se evaluó el contenido de fenoles totales (FT), capacidad antioxidante (CA), y la actividad de las enzimas catalasa (CAT), superóxido dismutasa (SOD), peroxidasa (POD) y polifenoloxidasa (PFO). En los tratamientos de 0 y 6 °C se incrementó el contenido de FT de 4.52 a 5.07 mg∙kg-1 PF hasta los 12 días de almacenamiento (dda). A 6 °C la CA tuvo los mayores valores a los 12 dda con 53.75 a 88.57 mg AAEVC∙g-1 PF. La actividad de la SOD disminuyó considerablemente a los 9 dda en los tratamientos de refrigeración de 5.2 a 3.2 U∙mg-1 de P. Por otra parte, bajas temperaturas de almacenamiento aumentaron la actividad de la CAT, con respecto al testigo, aunque durante el almacenamiento fue en decremento. La refrigeración disminuyó la actividad de la POD y PFO con respecto al testigo, no obstante, a los 12 dda se observó la mayor actividad de estas enzimas en los tres tratamientos. La refrigeración disminuyó el contenido de fenoles totales, capacidad antioxidante y la actividad enzimática de la POD, y aumentó la actividad de la PFO, CAT y SOD

Historia de las ideas : repensar la América Latina

Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México/Programas de Apoyo a Proyectos de Investigación e Innovación Tecnológica/"PAPIIT IN 401702-3"//[Historia de las ideas en América Latina en el Siglo XX]Historia de las ideas: repensar la América Latina es una obra cuyo principal objetivo consiste en invitar a los latinoamericanos a asumir el reto de ofrecer nuevos enfoques de nuestro pasado. Éste fue el objetivo que animó al grupo de colaboradores que participaron en esta obra, quienes se han comprometido a continuar el quehacer reflexivo, innovador y constructivo en la región. Asumir nuestra historia consistió en avanzar sobre las consignas que conforman una retahíla de odios y rencores históricos que enfocan el proceso de conquista y destrucción de las culturas originarias que, si bien es cierto, son actos que no pueden dejar de condenarse, lo importante consiste en aprender del pasado para construir nuevas alternativas filosóficas, políticas, sociales y culturales que permitan mejorar la situación actual. Por este motivo, repensar la América Latina consiste en enriquecer la percepción sobre nosotros mismos y , por lo tanto, ampliar nuestros horizontes reflexivos, siempre con la firme convicción de que nuestro futuro no está en el pasado, pero debe nutrirse de éste, ya que ahí está el germen de nuestra identidad, de la propia cosmovisión, así como de las circunstancias sociales que imperan en la actualidad. En el presente conjunto de trabajos se abordan temas de política, religión, educación y filosofía latinoamericana así como de historia de las ideas. Investigaciones que brindan la posibilidad de conocer desde diferentes enfoques interdisciplinarios el contexto histórico y cultural latinoamericano. Los trabajos presentes se han desarrollado con base en la actitud crítica y los aportes de los miembros del seminario de investigación permanente: "Historia de las ideas en América Latina en el siglo XX.
