La Imagen y la Narrativa como Herramientas para el Abordaje Psicosocial en Escenarios de Violencia. Departamento Antioquia

FotovozEl presente trabajo, es realizado por las estudiantes del “Diplomado de Profundización en Acompañamiento Psicosocial en Escenarios de Violencia” como aspirantes al grado de psicólogas de la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia, UNAD, en el que se investiga sobre la imagen y la narrativa, como herramientas para el abordaje psicosocial en escenarios de violencia en Colombia, en congruencia con lo que indica Rosero, L. F. T. (2013 p.621) se ha convertido en un flagelo social de hace más de cinco décadas. De acuerdo a ello, se estima que éste, ha generado incalculables daños, que han afectado la integridad de las familias, ha sido responsable del deterioro físico, han generado incertidumbre, desolación, intimidación, reclutamiento forzoso, transbordo ideológico, los obligaron a pertenecer a las filas de la subversión, simultáneamente, fueron testigos y víctimas de tortura, se violó el derecho a la vida; además, se cometieron un sinnúmero de delitos, así como se relata en el texto de Modesto Pacayá. Se proponen acciones para la atención psicosocial integral de las víctimas, con el acompañamiento en los primeros auxilios psicológicos; las estrategias psicosociales: reconstruyendo el tejido social, entre la crisis y la realidad, el hoy y el ahora; se ha fomentado el espíritu resiliente, para estas personas, que con perseverancia activan la conciencia plena para reconstruir sus vidas y aportar a un mejor país. Continuando con el ejercicio de foto-voz realizado en el paso anterior, se agudizó el sentido de la observación, ya que fue posible identificar hechos violentos que han sucedido en nuestro país, logrando realizar un análisis de las imágenes que cuentan historias de los que no tienen voz, de los que quedaron en una fosa común, pero también, de los que permanecen apegados a las nuevas generaciones con sus voces de esperanza. Al igual que la narrativa, ligada a la formulación de preguntas con enfoque superviviente, sumado a las estrategias propuestas, se logra concluir que reconocer e implementar las herramientas de acompañamiento psicosocial, es importante para las comunidades, fortalece nuestro quehacer como psicólogos y contribuye al mejoramiento de la calidad de vida de las personas, y a su bienestar emocional.The present work is carried out by the students of the "Diploma of Deepening in Psychosocial Accompaniment in Scenes of Violence" as applicants to the degree of psychologists of the National Open and Distance University, UNAD, in which research on image and narrative As tools for the psychosocial approach in scenes of violence in Colombia, in congruence with what Rosero indicates, LFT (2013 p.621) has become a social scourge for more than five decades. Accordingly, it is estimated that this has generated incalculable damage, which has affected the integrity of the families, has been responsible for physical deterioration, has generated uncertainty, desolation, intimidation, forced recruitment, ideological transfer, forced them to belong to the ranks of the subversion were simultaneously witnesses and victims of torture, the right to life was violated; In addition, a number of crimes were committed, as is reported in the text of Modesto Pacayá. The actions are proposed for the comprehensive psychosocial care of the victims, with the accompaniment of psychological first aid; psychosocial strategies: rebuilding the social fabric, between crisis and reality, today and now; A resilient spirit has been fostered for these people, who with perseverance activate full consciousness to rebuild their lives and contribute to a better country. Continuing with the photo-voice exercise carried out in the previous step, the sense of observation was sharpened, since it was possible to identify violent events that have happened in our country, achieving an analysis of the images that tell stories of those who do not they have a voice, of those who were left in a common grave, but also, of those who remain attached to the new generations with their voices of hope

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
