La construcción del paisaje agrícola prehispánico en los Andes colombianos: el caso de la Sabana de Bogotá

Abstract: El sistema hidraulico de campos elevados de cultivo o camellones , construido a lo largo de 2500 anos por los grupos prehispanicos de la Sabana de Bogota, Colombia, es el tema central del presente articulo. El analisis esta enfocado en la relacion establecida entre estos grupos y el agua, para determinar de que manera la interaccion entre ambos llevo a una forma particular de construccion del paisaje agricola, de aprovechamiento de los recursos y de ocupacion del territorio, durante el periodo Muisca Tardio (1000 d.C. – 1550 d.C.). Apoyados en los conceptos de la arqueologia del paisaje, en los datos arqueologicos, paleoambientales, en la fotointerpretacion y en la documentacion colonial, pudimos establecer que el sistema de camellones fue el resultado de la interrelacion hombre-ambiente, en que los hombres crearon una forma de vivir en un ambiente inundable, haciendo del agua el eje y la red de conexion entre canales, plataformas para el cultivo, asentamientos, areas de caza y pesca y zonas de mitigacion.

Cumplimiento de las recomendaciones en rehabilitación respiratoria de la British Thoracic Society en pacientes con fibrosis quística: estudio en fisioterapeutas colombianos

Abstract: The aim was to evaluate compliance with the recommendations in respiratory rehabilitation (ReR), raised by the British Thoracic Society (BTS) in patients with cystic fibrosis. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 224 Colombian physiotherapists to identify interventions and components of ReR programs as recommended by the BTS. Interventions with high level of evidence (Grade A) such as: Bronchial Hygiene Therapy (54.0%), and Active Cycle of Breathing Techniques (35.3%) were identified. However, high percentage of physiotherapists practiced interventions with lower grade of recommendation (Grade D) such as: hypertonic saline and bronchodilator to prevent bronchospasm (33.9%), and using manual therapy techniques and thoracic mobility exercises (38.4%) to correct postural and breathing problems. In conclusions we confirm important differences in therapeutic assistant components of the ReR raised by the BTS for patients with cystic fibrosis.

Métodos unisensoriales para la rehabilitación de la persona con implante coclear y métodos musicoterapéuticos como nueva herramienta de intervención

Abstract: El objetivo de la presente revision teorica es documentar los aspectos relevantes de los metodos unisensoriales, para la rehabilitacion de personas con perdida auditiva usuarias de implante coclear y otras ayudas auditivas; estos metodos son la terapia auditiva verbal y el metodo verbotonal, tambien se incluyen los aspectos encontrados con respecto a la terapia auditiva-oral, la cual es confusa en su definicion. Por otro lado se ofrece un panorama de lo que se esta realizando desde musicoterapia en esta misma poblacion con el fin de promoverpuentes de comunicaciony trabajo entre fonoaudiologia y musicoterapia. Se realizo una busqueda exhaustiva de informacion al respecto en bases de datos, decantando y recopilando las referencias obtenidas. Cabe aclarar que el fin de esta investigacion no es mostrar la superioridad de ninguno de los tratamientos, sino la forma en la que trabajan para asi brindar nuevas perspectivas y herramientas en la intervencion con la poblacion usuaria de implantes cocleares u otras ayudas auditivas.

The Effect of 12 Weeks of Different Exercise Training Modalities or Nutritional Guidance on Cardiometabolic Risk Factors, Vascular Parameters, and Physical Fitness in Overweight Adults: Cardiometabolic High-Intensity Interval Training-Resistance Training Randomized Controlled Study.

Abstract: Ramirez-Velez, R, Castro-Astudillo, K, Correa-Bautista, JE, Gonzalez-Ruiz, K, Izquierdo, M, Garcia-Hermoso, A, Alvarez, C, Ramirez-Campillo, R, and Correa-Rodriguez, M. The effect of 12 weeks of different exercise training modalities or nutritional guidance on cardiometabolic risk factors, vascular parameters and physical fitness in overweight adults: cardiometabolic high-intensity interval training-resistance training randomized controlled study. J Strength Cond Res 34(8): 2178-2188, 2020-Evidence suggests that exercise training improves cardiometabolic risk factors. The aim of this study was to investigate whether 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), resistance training (RT), concurrent training (CT = HIIT + RT), or nutritional guidance (NG) induced improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors, vascular parameters, and physical fitness in overweight adults, and to compare the responses between the 4 intervention groups. This is a twelve-weeks factorial randomized design examining the effects of different exercise regimes and/or NG on anthropometric and body composition (fat and lean mass at whole body, trunk fat, fat mass index, appendicular muscle mass, and waist circumference); cardiometabolic risk factors and vascular parameters (blood lipids, fasting glucose, blood pressure, flow-mediated dilation [FMD%], aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), and augmentation index); and physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness and handgrip strength). Adjusted mixed linear models revealed a significant improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness (mL·kg·min): HIIT +8.3, RT +4.1, and CT +6.3 (all p < 0.001). The improvement difference between the groups was statistically significant between the HIIT and NG group (p = 0.014), (time × group interaction F(23.564); p < 0.001; η partial = 0.365). In addition, the RT and CT groups have a significant positive impact on PWV (m·s) (d = 0.391 and 0.229 respectively; p < 0.001, (time × group interaction F(5.457); p = 0.003; η partial = 0.280). Hereafter, the RT group has a significant positive impact on the FMD (%) in comparison to HIIT, CT, or NG group (time × group interaction F(2.942); p = 0.044; η partial = 0.174). The main findings of this study are that 12 weeks of HIIT leads to significant improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, whereas RT resulted in improvements in the vascular profile, supporting the positive effect of both training programs for cardiometabolic risk factors in sedentary and overweight adults.
