Canine parasitosis studies, in particular those of Chrysocyon brachyurus Illiger, 1815, are limited. Additionally, there are only few reports in the north of Argentina. The purpose of this study was to expand the knowledge about the helmith parasites of C. brachyurus. Necropsies of two adult specimens of C. brachyurus from two protected areas of Corrientes Argentina, were done in our laboratory. The biological material consisted of the viscera taken from a male canine found in the Mburucuya National Park and from a female found in the Rincon de Santa Maria Reserve. Centrorhynchus guira Lunaschi & Drago, 2010 and Ancylostoma caninum Ercolani, 1859 helminthes were found in the intestine, and Doctophyme renale Goeze, 1782 was found in the right kidney of the specimen coming from the Mburucuyá National Park. On the other hand, the specimen coming from the Rincon Santa Maria Reserve only...

Three cases of Harada's disease and one case of Vogt- Koyanagi syndrome are reported. All these cases exhibit the characteristics of this entity. All cases were treated with systemic and topical cortisone , which seems to be useful . Excellent results (recovery of central and peripheral vision) , were obtained in these patients. The only complication with regard to therapy was an acute episode of psychosis in patient No. 3 which came after acute administration of cortisone ; it disappeared completely 3 weeks after drug taper . It has been reported that Harada 's disease and Vogt- Koyanagi syndrome occur in patients highly pigmented . It is interesting to note that two of the four cases were presented in white people . The literature review shows that the disease is sporadic , with no apparent relation to the seasons or geographic area. Encephalopathy syndrome uveo - dermatosis : a new te...

Imaging of musculoskeletal tissue dynamics is currently an exploratory field with the goal of aiding rehabilitation and performance evaluation of pathological or asymptomatic patients. In this pilot study, initial elasticity assessments of the biceps brachii were conducted in a novel crawling wave sonoelastography (CWS) system implemented on a research ultrasound instrument with graphical processing unit capabilities, displaying quantitative elasticity values at 4 frames per second. The CWS system computes the tissue stiffness with the generation of an interference pattern from external vibrators, which can overcome depth limitations of imaging systems with internal excitation sources. Validation on gelatin-based phantoms reported low bias of elasticity values (4.7%) at low excitation frequencies. Preliminary results on in vivo muscle characterization are in accordance with average elast...

The aim of this research was to estimate sensory shelf life of "huacariz" and "cefop" mantecoso cheese, vacuum packaging: "cefop" and packaging to the atmospheric pressure: "huacariz"; brands marketed in Cajamarca, using accelerated shelf life testing. For this purpose, "huacariz" cheese was stored at 20, 28, 35 y 40 °C, while it was set at 20, 28, 35 °C storage for "cefop" cheese, performing acceptability sensory tests according to time storage with both 41 consumers constants. The results from sensory analysis were analyzed by software R for survival analysis statistics applied to sensory shelf life of foods. For this, Weibull distribution was applied and allowed to know shape (β) and scale (α) parameters, just being β value necessary to know the reliability of the raw data. The accelerated storage at temperatures close to 35 ºC yielded values of β < 2, for both cheeses, by t...

The physical-chemical, thermal and rheological properties of starches isolated from four commercial potato cultivars (Colparina, Huayro, Canchan and Yungay) were evaluated and characterized. The starches presented ovoid and spherical shapes, with average size from 20.08 ± 2.48 to 25.33 ± 6.54 μm and B-type granules, with amylose content from 15.49 ± 2.02 to 32.10 ± 0.14% and relative crystallinity, between 34.6 and 37.3%. The rheological properties measured using a dynamic rheometer, showed predominance storage module (G’) on the loss module (G’’) during the frequency range (0.01 - 3.20 Hz) studied, which would classify them as weak gels. The starches presented low syneresis, high clarity, pasting temperature from 65.70 ± 0.31 °C to 67.70 ± 0.23 °C, gelatinization start temperature (To); peak temperature (Tp); gelatinization final temperature (Tf) and gelatinization enthal...

Introduction. Cardiovascular pathologies are the first cause of morbidity in Spain. The risk factors that influence their appearance and evolution include socioeconomic and labor aspects. The objective was to determine the level of cardiovascular risk in telephone operators. Material and methods. Retrospective and cross-sectional study in 1215 Spanish teleoperators in the period January 2017 and December 2017 in which different parameters related to cardiovascular risk are valued (overweight-obesity scales, cardiovascular risk scales, atherogenic indices, fatty liver risk scales and metabolic syndrome among others) and the influence on them of variables such as age, sex and tobacco use. The study was approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of the Balearic Islands Health Area. Results. We highlight the high prevalence of high blood pressure in males (23.94%) obesity with BMI (2...

The present article is a quantitative study of the comments generated and published by users on March 8 and 9 on the YouTube video platform, about the International Women’s Day on March 8, 2020, known as #8M in Mexico City. Its purpose is to know what kind of issues, discussions and perceptions revolve around one of the most attended feminist demonstrations against gender violence and impunity in the face of a growing wave of femicide in Mexico. It also presents a discussion on the potential and risks of YouTube for cyber-feminism and protest, based on comments generated by users. The results show a space in which a strong misogyny, a high misunderstanding of feminism and the impossibility of a productive and dialogic conversation are manifested.

While our IGLC community was trying to catch up with how the reshaping of the manufacturing by the advent of the “fourth industrial revolution” or industry 4.0 would impact the architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry, an even bigger and unprecedented economic and social disruption caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, posed new and unimaginable challenges leading to a world that is going through its biggest transformation in every single aspect of our society in almost a Century. Countries responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by taking unprecedented steps such as making large amounts of money available to fund rescue measures such as tax cuts, extended unemployment benefits, mortgage holidays, and liquidity for small and medium-sized businesses. And some of the millions of persons that suddenly started working remotely during the pandemic, have taken the...

The anatomical development of young sporophytes of Macrocystis pyrifera obtained from zygotes in laboratory cultures was investigated. Thalli were monostromatic alter two weeks of growth, and cells were similar, photosynthetic, and connected by primary pit fields. Thalli were polystromatic and diferentiated internally into meristoderm, cortex and medulla in the fifth week. Longitudinal sieve filaments appeared in the medulla developing from the inner cortex and they were surrounded by an intercellular matrix. Individual sieve elements contained a nucleus, chloroplasts and several plasmodesmata, which were more or less randomly distributed in transverse walls or they were grouped in primary pit fields in longitudinal walls. Thalli were thicker and diferentiated morphologically into a single lamina, stipe and rhizoidal holdfast alter nine weeks. In addition to sieve filaments, smaller fila...
