This work evaluated the inhibition effect of essential oils (EO) from rosmarinus and wild oregano against pathogenic bacteria present in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) that promote foodborne diseases. EO extraction was carried out using supercritical fluids; EO were characterized by density, refractive index (RI), and volatile organic compounds. The identification of bacteria present in rainbow trout was carried out with the Phoenix® system and susceptibility by Kirby-Bauer. The antimicrobial and bactericidal activities exerted by EO against S. aureus and B. cereus were determined by microdilution. As a results: density of 0,89 and 0,93 g/cm³ ; RI of 1,46 and 1,40; moisture of 8,42 % and 8.34 % and total yield of 2,42 % and 2,05 % for rosemary essential oil (REO) and oregano essential oil (OEO), respectively. The chemical characterization by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry showed that the representative compounds of REO were camphor (26.95 %) and trans-caryophyllene (22.80 %), and thymol (76,25 %) was representative in OEO. The REO exerted a greater antimicrobial and bactericidal effect against S. aureus (MIC and MBC=28480 µg/mL) compared to the OEO, however OEO presented a better antimicrobial (MIC=44640 µg/mL) and bactericial (MBC=59520 µg/mL) against B. cereus compared to REO, suggesting a potential bioprotective effect of these essential oils as natural preservatives in meat products.

Objective: to analyze income inequality with the contribution of remittances received directly and eliminating this contribution, to achieve this a comparison will be made with the Gini index. Methodology: the analysis was applied to households in the state of Sinaloa and the variable of interest was the income of the heads of household together with the remittance variable and without the remittance variable. Results: it is evident that the average income suffers an increase even when the percentage of the population receiving remittances is less than 7 percent. Limitation: for the analysis, variables were homogenized and created since the database during the study period reflected important changes in its structure. Originality: We report the empirical importance with theoretical support by showing the role of remittances for a state based on agricultural activities. Conclusions: Remittances have a greater impact on the reduction of inequality in rural areas, due to the migration of the rural community of the state studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are currently 935 buildings with heights of 200 m or more around the world. The Costanera Center Tower, in Chile, with 300 m of height is an example of this type of construction in South America. Researchers and seismic design codes recognize that dynamic soil-structure interaction (DSSI) have significant effects on the seismic response of tall buildings. Previous studies have shown the need of considering the depth of basement, the retaining wall flexibility, the characteristics of the soil around the building base, the structure's height, and the characteristics of the input ground motion. This study examines the seismic response of a tall building with deep basement considering soil-structure interaction. The dynamic behaviour of this tall building is evaluated using non-linear finite element analysis. The main results discussed in this paper focus on the lateral seismic pressures on the building's basement walls, the differences between the free-field and the foundation-level ground motions, and the dynamic structural response in terms of the shear force distribution. These results highlight the importance of considering DSSI effects in the seismic response of tall buildings with deep basements, and help on improving our understanding of the seismic performance of such buildings.

The study of essential oils has increased markedly for its bactericidal, fungicidal and antioxidant properties. The objective was to evaluate the antibacterial capacity of essential oils of eucalyptus, lemon and mandarin against bacteria ATCC Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The antibacterial activity was determined with the minimal inhibitory concentration MIC and bactericidal MBC by the microdilution method, with a stable emulsion whose average droplet diameter was between 40 and 63 microns. The composition was determined by gas chromatography coupled to mass, the density, refractive index and acidity were also measured. The results. were found for the oils density values between 0,858 ± 0,002 and 0,920 ± 0,003 g/cm3, refractive index of 1,469 ± 0,01 and 1,4595 ± 0,0025, acid value between 5,32 ± 0,02 and 8,08 ± 0,74; the composition of lemon and mandarin presented common compounds such as limonene, terpinene, octanal and myrcene, eucalyptol (1,8 cineole) and pinene were prominent in eucalyptus. The best inhibition results were for eucalyptus and mandarin versus Gram positive bacteria with a MIC and MBC of 6,8 μL/mL and for Gram negative the essential oil of mandarin and eucalyptus peel with a MIC and MBC of 13,2 μL/mL.

Faced with the dilemma of extending the anesthesiology residency from 3 to 4 years, there have been several arguments for and against. However, the starting point of the discussion must be redesigning the national program curricula to move away from a fixed-time training and variable competencies, to a competency-based model; i.e., fixed competencies and variable time frames.

Portal venous gas is a condition usually detected in a radiologic sign in which gas is seen in the portal vein. We report the case of an infant with portal venous gas secondary to intestinal ischemia, which is one of the most frequent of its causes and which has a high mortality. This condition may be associated with many childhood diseases. It is not necessarily fatal. Abdomen X-rays allows to diagnosis in advanced phases of the disease. However, ultrasound and tomography have made it easier and more opportune to diagnose it. The treatment and the prognosis will depend on the cause of the portal venous gas. Treatment not always requires a surgery; prognosis is not always bad. Mortality increases when it is associated to intestinal ischemia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Diaphragmatic eventration is a congenital malformation which could result in respiratory distress. A chest X-ray, shows an elevated diaphragm. Most case reports present unilateral diaphragmatic eventration. We report a case of an infant with bilateral diaphragmatic elevation. Case report. A 17 day old infant presented with respiratory distress. With the aid of an Xray study we diagnosed a bilateral congenital eventration of the diaphragm (BCED). A bilateral thoracotomy was performed. Discussion. Congenital diaphragmatic eventration represents 5% of all diaphragmatic pathology. There have been few reports of bilateral congenital diaphragmatic eventration. We found only nine reported cases since 1973, and only one in Mexico and Latin America. A bilateral diaphragmatic placation in our patient was successful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From the images of allegories and unknown geographies, the representation of the American territory is made in an overlapped form with the body in a particular type of erotic-politics. The case of the representation of the Villa Imperial de Potosí is paradigmatic in this subject as it generated an iconography that passed from the representation of its hill like generator of structures class/ race to its union with the virgin. Here two works of the city built in the first half of the 18th century are studied -after the decay of the economy of one of the greatest cities of the world at that time - that in addition are found in Spanish public collections, to try at the time how this dimension of unit between body and territory articulates within them. To finish, some expositive contexts are shown in which the same ones have been presented and possible alternatives to think the curatorial activation and criticism of these images.

El Programa de PRACTICAPACES (Prácticas Laborales para Personas con Discapacidad Intelectual o del Desarrollo), dirigido por el profesor Francisco de Borja Jordán de Urríes Vega, se desarrolla mediante una iniciativa promovida por la Facultad de Psicología y el Instituto Universitario de Integración en la Comunidad, INICO. Este programa está enfocado a la capacitación práctica de personas con discapacidad intelectual o del desarrollo en ámbitos concretos del mundo laboral en base a la metodología del empleo con apoyo y a la capacitación práctica de alumnos de cuarto curso de Terapia Ocupacional y del Máster en Investigación sobre Discapacidad. Los trabajadores desarrollan las prácticas en la Facultad de Psicología, en la Cafetería, la Biblioteca y el Servicio de Limpieza gracias la colaboración de la empresa que lo desarrolla, CLECE, y en la Conserjería. Este programa se desarrolla en colaboración con varias organizaciones del sector de la discapacidad ubicadas en Salamanca que trabajan con personas con discapacidad intelectual y del desarrollo. Las organizaciones participantes son Asociación Ariadna, Asociación Asprodes, Asociación Down Salamanca y Asociación Insolamis. 7 personas han realizado prácticas entre 2016 y 2017 y los resultados evaluados hasta el momento nos permiten hacer una valoración muy positiva por las repercusiones generadas, en primer lugar, para los trabajadores en prácticas, que han tenido la oportunidad de desarrollar una experiencia laboral de 3 meses en un ámbito de trabajo normalizado aumentando sus capacidades en muchos aspectos y generando oportunidades para su inserción laboral, generándose para alguno de ellos oportunidades posteriores de empleo. En segundo lugar, para los alumnos en prácticas, que han tenido una experiencia profesional directa que les capacita mejor para su futuro desarrollo profesional; además, varios de ellos han obtenido oportunidades laborales derivadas de su participación en el programa. En tercer lugar, para los compañeros de trabajo y la facultad en sí misma, donde durante tres meses se ha visto trabajar con absoluta normalidad a tres personas con discapacidad y se ha interactuado con ellas con plena normalidad visibilizando y normalizando esta realidad, lo cual probablemente genera una sensibilización social muy positiva. Finalmente, para las propias organizaciones participantes, que han creado sinergias hasta ahora inexistentes lo cual podrá llevar en un futuro próximo a posibles iniciativas conjuntas que les den más fuerza y base social para realizar demandas de apoyo ante la propia universidad, por ejemplo, y la sociedad salmantina.

UNIDIVERSITAS es la propuesta de un programa de formación para personas con discapacidad intelectual o del desarrollo diseñada por el Instituto Universitario de Integración en la Comunidad de la Universidad de Salamanca. Esta propuesta se estructura en un programa de dos años que combina la formación teórica y la práctica, en un modelo de formación dual. La formación teórica se centra en un conjunto de competencias transversales cuyo desarrollo favorece la inserción plena y el empleo. Para la selección de estas competencias se ha tomado como base el curso de Competencias transversales para la mejora de la empleabilidad de jóvenes con discapacidad, desarrollado por el profesor Emiliano Díez en los últimos años, con excelentes resultados. La realización de prácticas se desarrollará dentro de la propia universidad y también en empresas del entorno. Estos procesos de prácticas se llevarán a cabo desde una metodología de empleo con apoyo. Para ello se ha tomado como punto de partida la experiencia del programa Practicapaces, desarrollado por el profesor Borja Jordán de Urríes en los últimos años también con excelentes resultados. El proyecto UNIDIVERSITAS se configura como un Título Propio de la Universidad de Salamanca, con un periodo de formación de dos cursos lectivos y una participación de unos 15 alumnos por promoción. En el desarrollo de UNIDIVERSITAS se ha contado desde su inicio con la inestimable colaboración de las organizaciones locales que trabajan en el campo de la discapacidad intelectual o del desarrollo. El programa iniciará su andadura en octubre de 2018. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To study the frequency and characteristics of the complications of the bile duct in a tertiary care pediatric hospital, and describe the surgical treatment of these lesions. Material and methods: Descriptive and retrospective study with review of medical records of patients with surgical complication of the bile duct between march 2005- march 2009. The frequency of iatrogenic and now-iatrogenic bile duct injuries was observed. We describe each case and its surgical management. Results: During a 48 month period 60 patients with bile duct problems underwent surgery: laparoscopic cholecystectomy (31.6%), open cholecystectomy (9%), choledocal cyst excision (18.3%), biliary atresia (23.3%), bile duct trauma (1.7%), bile duct injury (16.6%). Ten patients were identified with a complication of the bile duct: three bile duct injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (one with injury to the common bile duct, another one with injury to the common bile duct and hepatic duct and a third one with cystic duct avulsion). Five patients had stenosis of the hepato-jejunostomy after choledocal cyst excision (two with bile duct stones). One patient had trauma of the bile duct after a motor vehicle accident with injury of the left hepatic duct and subsequent stenosis, and one case of injury to the common bile duct during surgery for persistent hiperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of the newborn. The surgical treatments were diverse and individualized, including hepato-jejunonostomies, porto-enterostomies, cholecysto-jejunostomy and external drainage. The postoperative course has been adequate in all cases without subsequent complications. Conclusions: Extrahepatic bile duct injury can occur during any upper abdominal surgery, mainly during gallbladder and bile duct surgery. These lesions are infrequent and are generally the result of inadequate identification and exposure of the bile duct anatomy, as well as a non-careful dissection of the structures and overconfidence of the surgeon. The most difficult thing is the early recognition and repair of these lesions to avoid major sequelae. The surgical treatment of these lesions can be complicated by dehiscence and leaks, as well as bile duct stenosis with subsequent metabolic disorders and secondary biliary cirrhosis. There are many surgical options for these patients that should be individualized, most of them with good results. Kasai type portoenterostomy and cholecystoenterostomy are good options for the repair of high bile duct injuries in small children when an adequate hepaticoenterostomy cannot be done.

Introduction: Since 1995 the system of vacuum wound closure has shown efficacy and safety in the management of complex acute and chronic wounds, helping to protect the environment by removing exudate and necrotic material and granulation promoting perfusion, as well as helping contracting the edges of them. Despite this, their diffusion and acceptance in our country has been poor, particularly in children. We present a patient with complex perineal trauma injury, treated successfully with the system of vacuum-assisted closure. Case report: Men's three years that was hit by a trailer. He moved to the emergency room where he was resuscitated aggressively in a state of hypovolemic shock. Complex fracture of the pelvis showed extensive retroperitoneal hematoma, urethral suspected fracture, splenic injury grade I and complex perineal injury that extended to the right leg, with significant soft tissue loss from abrasion and bursting of the rectum. The lesion measuring 30x24x18 cm. He underwent exploratory laparotomy sigmoidostomy separate mouths. The perineal wound was managed initially with silver sulfadiazine. To outline the area of necrosis, and extensive debridement was done cleaning, finding bursting of the year, and significant loss of skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscles, including the anal sphincter. In the days following a dressing was applied consisting of a hidrofibra of sodium carboxymethylcellulose and ionized silverbased gel of calcium alginate to control the exudate and promote debridement of necrotic areas remaining. Although improved wound part, the difficult management of exudate motivated us to place the system of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC, KCI San Antonio, Tx.) Marked improvement was obtained with significant reduction of exudate, granulation tissue formation and contraction of the edges of it. During therapy V.A.C. tissue expanders were placed in the posterior chest and underwent partial anoplasty rotation flaps. After inspecting the exudate and a granulation tissue, placed an array of epidermis obtained from pig small intestine, combined with the base dressing and silver carboxymethylcellulose hidrofibra ionized, with the aim of reducing the grafted area. A few days later was made full-thickness skin grafting of 20x8 cm, which is incorporated in its entirety. The patient was discharged from hospital in good condition. Currently wander and get rehabilitation therapy for fecal continence. Require vesicostomy colostomy closure and repair of the urethral injury. Discussion: This case serves to realize the difficulty and complexity involved in handling serious injury. It is important to understand the pathophysiology of scarring and all the tools we have to accelerate its process. Although we used a variety of substances and products for the management of this injury, the system of vacuum-assisted closure dramatically changed the course of it, allowed us to control the exudate and infection, significantly reducing its size by promoting rapid vascularization and granulation tissue formation that gave us a bed suitable for grafting, significantly reducing recovery time.
