Objective: tcompare the decrease in pain in patients with pregabalin therapy versus interventional blocks. Materials and methods: retrospective cohort study that included patients older than 18 years diagnosed with neuropathic pain from a reference center in Pereira, Colombia, between the years 2010-2016. The outcome was assessed at three months in each cohort and was defined as the change in pain intensity according to the visual analog pain scale. The comparison between cohorts and the effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated through repeated measures analysis with the generalized estimating equation. Results: a total of 1451 patients with pain were selected, of these, only 94 met the inclusion criteria. Sixty-two (66%) patients received a pharmacological scheme with pregabalin, and 32 patients (34%) underwent blockages. The pain intensity prior to pregabalin treatment was 7.3 ...

The collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) and white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) are very important species as a source of protein and economic income for rural household, and are culturally important in Amazonian Communities. Despite their importance, and due to the scarcity of information on their populations in a large part of the Peruvian Amazon, it is difficult to evaluate the sustainable use as bushmeat and for the export of skins. In this way, this study aims to evaluate populations of P. tajacu and T. pecariin the regions of Loreto and Ucayali by using fixed-width line transects in 33 localities and through interviews to determine the 'cultural consensus' for the abundance of the species in 11 localities. Of a total of 14,220.5 km of 2 linear transects traveled in the study sites, showed that the population density of P. tajacu was 1.24 ind/km 2 being registered in 32 (96.9%) local...
