In this paper I present my experience as plastic surgeon working for Médicos del Mundo organization in multiple humanitarian aid surgical missions: war conflicts and emergencies after natural disasters, describing the dynamics of such missions from the initial mobilization until its final from both, a personal perspective and the organization for which I act. Missions were conducted in 10 countries of Europe, Africa and Asia, and more than 330 patients were operated. The displaced surgical team usually consists of anesthesiologist, orthopedic surgeon and plastic surgeon; a suitable combination for the type of pathology founded after earthquakes (open fractures, crush syndrome, sequelae of compartment syndrome) and war (shrapnel wounds, gunshot wounds, traumatic amputations, burns and loss of substance). The existing difference between the humanitarian aid given by the international community in both scenarios is also analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of abdominal tissue is one the first options in breast reconstruction with autologous tissue. In case of contraindication for this technique, the transverse myocutaneous gracilis flap (TMG) is a valid option for breast reconstruction. We present a series of 10 breast reconstructions with TMG flap. In order to evaluate this surgical option, we gave the patients a questionnaire about the quality of the reconstructed breast and of the donor site, and we also evaluated: the mean duration of the intervention, the average hospitalization time, the complications in the donor site and in the reconstructed breast. To compare our outcomes, we repeated the same process with patients reconstructed with a latissimus dorsi flap, another alternative to breast reconstruction with abdominal tissue. We present our comparative results, with better results in the items about breast appearance in TMG group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Salmonella enteritidis is a microorganism which rarely affects muscles. We report a case of a male patient with AIDS, who suffered an episode of acute gastroenteritis due to Salmonella enteritidis, months ago. After this incident, the patient presented massive muscular necrosis in the lower limbs which led to septic shock and subsequent death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The terrestrial ionosphere has been studied for decades by using observation techniques that today are considered conventional, mainly probes conducted with instruments located on the surface of the Earth, on board balloons, rockets, and satellites. More recently, work has begun on the study of observations by means of global positioning systems, GPS. In this work, the flashing technique is used to characterize regions of the high atmosphere rich in irregularities. A microwave system based on a double-frequency GPS receptor to monitor the NAVSTAR constellation of satellites is used to observe changes and behaviors present in the ionosphere. With this system we can in time measure the total electron content (COMPLEXION) and its variation (rTEC) and the standard deviation average of the emitted signal denominated S4. The flashing technique is one of the tools most widely used for the monitoring of the ionosphere; this technique calculates the S4 index to use it as an observation instrument. The data acquisition takes place with a frequency of 10 Hertz. The instruments the amplitude, phase, and the pseudorank of the signals emitted by the satellites. In this article we describe the flashing technique for the study and characterization of the ionosphere. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El artículo habla de la necesidad de establecer sistemas de promoción financiera para el desarrollo y la coordinación industrial de Centroamérica. Se dice que es importante que se adopte un mecanismo que obtenga el apoyo mayoritario para acelerar armoniosamente el proceso de capitalización industrial. Se incluyen recomendaciones para alcanzar los objetivos de Los Jefes de Planificación Centroamericana. Se discuten el financiamiento de la integración y la inversión pública.

Objetivos: determinar la cantidad de recubrimiento radicular, la ganancia del grado de inserción clínica y evaluar la variación en la franja de la encía queratinizada mediante dos técnicas quirúrgicas: colgajo con reposición coronal e injerto de tejido conectivo con colgajo con reposición coronal en pacientes con recesiones gingivales Miller I y II evaluados al tercer mes posquirúrgico usando un diseño de boca dividida. Métodos: en el estudio incluyeron un total de 17 pacientes (5 hombres y 12 mujeres, con un rango de edades entre 36 y 73 años) con recesiones gingivales clase Miller I y II bilateral, de los cuales se seleccionaron 75 pares de piezas dentarias de manera aleatoria a boca dividida tratados quirúrgicamente. En uno de los cuadrantes se utilizó la técnica injerto de tejido conectivo con reposición coronal (69 piezas dentarias para el grupo A); mientras que en el cuadrante contralateral se utilizó la técnica colgajo con reposición coronal (81 piezas dentarias para el grupo B). Las mediciones clínicas se evaluaron antes de la cirugía mucogingival (baseline) y a los tres meses poscirugía, así como las fotografías digitales, las cuales fueron introducidas en un computador con un programa de edición fotográfica Adobe Photoshop CS5® Extended para las mediciones de longitud en milímetros de la franja de encía queratinizada, el área y longitud de la recesión. La recopilación de todas las mediciones clínicas y digitales se introdujo en una computadora marca Sony, modelo VAIO Core i3, para crear una base de datos con el programa Microsoft Office Excel 2007, donde se triplicaron todos los datos para obtener valores finales, los cuales fueron analizados por el estadístico. Resultados: en un total de 75 pares de piezas dentarias con recesiones gingivales clase Miller I y II tratadas quirúrgicamente, encontramos que para el grupo A (injerto de tejido conectivo con colgajo posicionado coronal), el grado de inserción clínica, el recubrimiento radicular, la encía queratinizada, la encía adherida y la encía libre al tercer mes posquirúrgico fue -1,7 ± 1,3 mm; -0,4 [-1,0; -0,2]; 1,22 ± 2,2; 2 ± 2,22; -0,8 ± 0,9 respectivamente; mientras que en el grupo B (colgajo posicionado coronal) fue -1,1 ± 1,1 mm y -0,3 [-0,5; 0,1]; 0,6 ± 2,3 mm; 1,0 ± 2,5 mm; -0,5 ± 0,8 mm respectivamente. No se encontró una diferencia significativa al comparar las dos técnicas quirúrgicas con respecto al grado de inserción clínica (p = 0,13) y encía queratinizada (p = 0,06), pero para la encía libre (p = 0,02) y la encía adherida (p = 0,01) se encontraron diferencias significativas, teniendo mejores resultados con la técnica A.

The fish Lutjanus guttatus is important in the fisheries of Golfo de Nicoya, Costa Rica where they are captured with varied gear mainly by the artisanal fleet. We measured specimens from the commercial catch of 2002-2006. Gonadal state was determined macroscopically and age with otoliths The total length-total weight relationship was y = 0.0236x2.8153 and total length-eviscerated weighty = 0.021 6x2.8129. Simplified relationships were y = 0.0173x3 and y = 0.0162x3. There is year-round reproduction with peaks in March (dry season) and September (rainy season). Male-female sexual ratio was 1:1. The age-length key for the gulf shows availability until the 6 years of age. The von Bertalanffy growth curve is L (t) = 65,9 (1-e -0.13(t+2.66)). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
