Family medicine is a social practice installed on primary healthcare conditioned by structural rules and norms in sanitary institutions and are part of social structures as well. In this level, pre-established actions are performed and shaped for the first contact of integral healthcare, based on the biomedical model executed more or less uniform in medical units of primary attention. The family physician frequently uses basic tools that allows him to identify promptly behaviors, actions and symptoms to guide into a primary or secondary pathology and, most of all, to the improvement of the patient and their family's environment for their benefit. The family medical specialty has achieved a world success since its beginnings in the 70's and has contributed to the maintenance of the balance among general physicians and specialists, essential in order to reach a good, complete, ordered and economic medical attention. The objective of this review is to make known the multiple family physicians' workings, as well as identifying the diverse validated tools belonging to this medical specialty which face new challenges day by day.

The local interest of producers, traders and consumers for the Castilla Blackberry produced in Ibagué city and lack information about its qualities is the reason of the current fruit's characterization evaluated in six maturity states. The morphological and physicochemical results indicate that the harvest optimum state was fifth, because its good index-harvest, firmness, weight, total soluble solids (TSS), yield and insoluble matter in alcohol (IMA), in this phase of maturation the high acidity limits bacterial growth, although fungal problems persistented like Botrytis Cinerea. However, the harvest in fourth and sixth state is not recommended, due to lower weight and volume; and structural fragility often produces lixiviation, fermentation and injury of the fruit respectively. In general the statistical analysis revealed significant differences between maturity degrees about weight, diameter greater, volume, acidity, TSS, minerals, and IMA, ratifying the importance of relation between development degree of the fruit and harvest time because its direct impact on product quality and commercial competitiveness.

Cholesterol is an important molecule; it is necessary for the biosynthesis of steroidal hormones, bile salts and to maintain the stability of biological membranes in animal cells. However, its excess is negative and is responsible for the development of many diseases involving the heart and brain, or in the generation of some types of cancer. For these reasons, the cellular cholesterol levels must be finely regulated and therefore, an infinite number of mechanisms participate in this regulation, which undertake the organism as a whole. These mechanisms should begin to operate efficiently from the intake of cholesterol from the diet, its incorporation into the enterocyte, where are involved carriers such as ABC and NCP1 transporters, PDZ structural motif, to name a few. It is also necessary an adequate regulation of circulating cholesterol and once inside the body, there should be a perfect harmony between the addition of cholesterol to various tissues, its metabolic use, the mechanisms of its tissue deposition, and the synthesis of this lipid. From this perspective, this review offers a general view of the molecular mechanisms that allow the regulation of extra and intracellular cholesterol levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
