Introduction: The transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is the treatment of choice for the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Its use could be restricted when device-related infections occurs or in the pediatric population. In the later, an ICD represents a challenge, due to the minimal dimensions of the venous system in children, the length of the electrodes, the size of the generator, as well as the anatomical complexity in cases with associated congenital heart di-sease. Objective: This article presents the first Mexican patients with a subcutaneous ICD (SC-ICD) implant as a therapy for the prevention of SCD. Methods: The first four cases were implanted at the Ignacio Chávez National Institute of Cardiology with a SC-ICD (Emblem, Boston Scientific, USA), three of them were pediatric patients, including the first implant of this type of device in a pediatric patient in Latin America. The 3-incision and 2-incision techniques were used under general anesthe-sia. Results: A successful implantation was obtained with the 3-incision technique in the first 2 cases and the last 2 with the 2-incision technique. Proper functioning of the device was corroborated in the operating room with proof of appropriate the-rapy (65 J) for ventricular fibrillation induced with 50 Hz stimulation. No immediate complications were observed. One patient had appropriate shocks two months after the implant. During follow-up, one child developed skin erosion at the level of the curve of the electrode on the sternum, with no signs of infection. In the operating room, the damaged skin was resected, the barrel and the fixation silk were removed, surgical lavage was performed, and the skin was closed again, thus avoiding re-moval of the system. Conclusions: The SC-ICD is an alternative therapy to the transvenous ICD. It can be considered first choice in subjects who do not require ventricular pacing, including pediatric patients. Skin complications can occur but do not pose a threat as venous complications of conventional ICDs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Corpse's putrefaction is caused by the action of bacteria, fungus, heat and humidity. To prevent the corpse from being destroyed, it is necessary to perform some procedures on it that modify the physical and chemical properties of the organic matter through different means. The cadaveric preservation processes are mainly caused by the exposition to external natural factors of time, mode and place, or to chemical factors injected. Many of the used formulas have always been jealously guarded and transmitted orally to selected groups. This tradition continues nowadays. The development of scientific knowledge boosted the register and diffusion of the current preservation techniques. This work proposes to put on paper the teachings of the master of anatomy, Professor Rodolfo Manuel Lafalla (†), about compiling preservation techniques without formaldehyde that were taught to him and transmitted throughout time in informal registers.

In conventional biological wastewater treatments, biological and physical processes co-exist, one as important as the other, on which the purification efficiency depends. Among the latter secondary sedimentation can be mentioned. Malfunctioning of settlers, whatever be the cause, can have a significant impact on the expected efficiency of treatment.

Due to the environmental problems generated by the use of packaging from petroleumderived materials, great interest has been aroused in seeking alternatives with the use of easily biodegradable natural products. The food industry has focused on the development of edible films and coatings from polysaccharides with characteristics similar to synthetic polymers, and in turn, by functionalization processes with bioactive substances allow, protect food from adverse processes during its manipulation, and potentiate its functional properties and its consequent benefits in the health of consumers. Therefore, the objective of this work will be to synthesize nanoemulsions by phase ion methodology, as curcumin vehicle, characterizing them according to their physical stability, antioxidant capacity by inhibition of peroxides and DPPH radicals. The systems synthesized above will be included in biodegradable films based on FHIA 21 banana starch and glycerol, studying the effect of the addition of nanoemulsion on the release capacity of curcumin, in simulated food and gastnroteistinal media.

Background and objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic situation has led to severe restrictions, including mandatory home confinement. Sport as a means to reduce stress and psychological discomfort results in the following research that aims to compare the state of psychological discomfort and stress during this period of confinement, of a group of people, based on their level of sporting activity and sex. Material and Method: we use a descriptive, cross-sectional design; A relational study is developed to analyze the degree of dependence between the variables sex and level of sports practice with stress and psychological discomfort, for this we have used the scale of perceived stress and that of psychological discomfort of Kessler, with a sample composed of a total of 660 participants (301 women [45.6%] and 359 men [54.4%]). Results: Significant differences were found in the study groups according to the level of sports practice, as well as their sex, referring to psychological discomfort and stress levels. Conclusions: It is concluded that confinement during the pandemic is associated with significantly high levels of psychological distress and stress that can reach the threshold of clinical relevance. Lower scores at higher athletic level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
