In this work we analyze the treatment of syntax in a corpus of works destined to the teaching of grammar in Colombian schools during the 19th Century. We focus on four issues: 1) the possible distinction between natural and figurative syntax; 2) the concept of regime; 3) the treatment of the cases, and 4) the criteria and terminology used to define sentence units. We will verify that there is an evolution in the grammatical doctrine from the works of the first decades of the century, with a Latinizing tendency and in which the influence of the Academy predominates, until the last, where the influence of Andrés Bello is notable, passing through the grammars of the middle of the century, when, together with the Venezuelan, the figure of Vicente Salvá is considered as a reference. Analizamos en este trabajo el tratamiento de la sintaxis en un corpus de obras destinadas a la enseñanza de la gramática en las escuelas de Colombia durante el siglo XIX. En particular, nos concentramos en cuatro temas: 1) la posible distinción entre sintaxis natural y figurada; 2) el concepto de régimen; 3) el tratamiento de los casos; y 4) los criterios y la terminología utilizada para definir las unidades oracionales. Comprobaremos que se manifiesta una evolución en la doctrina sintáctica desde las obras de las primeras décadas del siglo, con tendencia latinizante y en las que predomina la influencia de la Academia, hasta las últimas, donde es notable el influjo de Andrés Bello, pasando por las gramáticas de mediados de la centuria, cuando, junto al venezolano, la figura de Vicente Salvá es considerada como referente.

Abstract, The World Tourism Organization promotes Accessible Tourism with aiming at developing the tourist industry through accessibility, sustainability and technology from a social innovation perspective, thus making it crucial for education institutions to take interest in all relevant changes brought about by the changing needs of society. Tourism is a key driving force regarding socioeconomic progress, as well as an activity that has comprehensive impact in all service areas. Therefore, taking into consideration that universal accessibility and design for all individuals makes life more confortable, it is essential to provide certain guarantees so individuals can live with full rights and take part in economic, social and cultural matters equally. Training professionals is one of these guarantees and it is at the same time a challenge, a need and an opportunity for tourism to contribute to the fulfilment of those individuals who take part in it. Population diversity must be recognised by improving the access of disabled individuals to products and services, as well as by setting common accessibility standards in accordance to the European Accessibility Act. In conclusion, the aim is to achieve Inclusive Tourism that will enable the creation of a convergence of interests for the sake of our society. This implies developing accessibility training plans for professionals in the tourist sector so they become the key success of a fully inclusive tourism. Hence achieving a tourist industry that complies with the Official University Education System, in which study programmes will take into account the fact that every professional activity must embed transversal competences in Universal Accessibility and Design for All.

Eosinophilic esophagitis is an immune/antigen-mediated chronic esophagueal disease. The most frequent symptoms include dysphagia, food impaction, pain and gastroesophageal reflux. Endoscopic findings include esophageal rings, whitish exudates, longitudinal furrows, edema, esophageal narrowing and mucosal fragility, which may lead to complications such as esophageal perforation, mucosal tear or intramural dissection. Esophageal dissection is a rare entity mainly described in women receiving anticoagulant treatment or affected by coagulopathy; very few cases have been reported in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis, whether spontaneous or iatrogenic. We describe the case of a young 17-year-old male who suffered circumferential esophageal dissection as a consequence of a gastroscopy performed after presenting symptoms of food impaction and was subsequently diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis. As a result of the few cases reported thus far, there is not a unified standard of treatment for this complication; surgical, endoscopic and conservative treatments have been reported. In our case, the patient was successfully treated conservatively. In conclusion, this case report confirms the need to be extremely careful while performing endoscopy in EoE patients (including patients with suspected EoE) and the possibility to treat intramural circumferential esophageal dissection conservatively if perforation has been ruled out.
