Impacto clínico y epidemiológico de la preeclampsia y eclampsia en mujeres adolescentes primigestantes que ingresan al huem de la ciudad de cúcuta entre julio y diciembre de 2011

Abstract: RESUMEN La presente investigacion es un estudio descriptivo de tipo retrospectivo, la poblacion objeto esta compuesta por pacientes adolescentes primigestante atendidas en el servicio de obstetricia del HUEM entre los meses de julio y diciembre de 2011. La informacion fue recolectada a partir de las historias clinicas, encontrando que las pacientes atendidas se encontraban entre los 15 y 19 anos, en su mayoria adolescentes dentro de la adolescencia tardia, la incidencia de Preeclampsia y Eclampsia se pudo establecer que la incidencia es de 1.86 casos por cada 100 embarazadas adolescentes, el estadio de la enfermedad en que se diagnostica con mayor frecuencia es la Preeclampsia severa, entre los factores de riesgo asociados a complicaciones que se presentaron se encuentran la ausencia de controles prenatales y el RCIU, y la presencia antecedentes patologicos durante el embarazo con la aparicion de complicaciones maternas. En conclusion, se puede decir que la PE – E es la manifestacion mas severa del grupo de patologias de los trastornos Hipertensivos inducidos por embarazo (THIE), y dentro del grupo de las pacientes embarazadas se pueden encontrar alta tasa de complicacaciones maternofetales entre las pacientes adolescentes primigestantes, sobre todo aquellas pacientes que tienen mayor exposicion a factores de riesgo como insuficientes controles prenatales o antecedentes patologicos. Palabras claves: Eclampsia, Preclampsia, Adolescentes Primigestantes, Incidencia.

The chemical composition and antibacterial activity of essential oil from Minthostachys mollis

Abstract: The chemical composition and antibacterial activity of essential oil from Minthostachys mollis were evaluated; the plants were grown in the Norte de Santander department, Colombia. The essential oil was obtained by conventional hydrodistillation from Minthostachys mollis leaves; relative density was determined at 20°C, as were the refraction index, essential oil solubility in ethanol (70% v/v) and optical rotation. Chemical composition was evaluated by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Three bacteria were used for evaluating antibacterial activity: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. The oil was diluted to the desired concentration (1,000-50 µg/mL) for determining antibacterial sensitivity and minimum inhibitory concentration, using the broth microdilution method, and a microplate reader was used for quantifying bacterial growth. Yield was 0.6%. Sensitivity test results revealed that bacteria were sensitive to essential oil from Minthostachys mollis; furthermore, this oil had a high content of oxygenated monoterpenes (i.e. carvacrol and thymol) having recognised antibacterial activity. It can thus be concluded that the vegetal species evaluated here is promising for controlling bacteria.

El método de costos estándar alineado a pequeñas industrias manufactureras del área metropolitana del valle de aburrá

Abstract: Las empresas manufactureras demandan en sus procesos los costos de fabricacion de sus productos, los cuales podrian obtenerse a partir del metodo de costos estandar; sin embargo, no lo utilizan debido a su desconocimiento. Con el proposito de ilustrar al sector manufacturero de calzado y marroquineria sobre su utilizacion, se elaboro un modelo para el calculo y el tratamiento de los costos estandar, partiendo de las normas internacionales asociadas a el. Se concluyo que este metodo es una herramienta util, que permite construir eficientemente los estados financieros de una empresa y contribuye a tomar decisiones estrategicas.

Identificación de un sistema de separación bifásica en una estación de recolección de crudo a través de técnicas de inteligencia artificial

Abstract: En este articulo se presenta el modelamiento de un sistema de separacion bifasica que hace parte de una etapa de recibo inicial en una estacion de recoleccion de crudo, a traves de tecnicas de identificacion basadas en inteligencia artificial. Adicional a la identificacion del sistema realizada por dos tecnicas diferentes, el modelo obtenido se emplea para realizar la sintonizacion del lazo de control formado por este y por un controlador de tipo Fuzzy basado en conocimiento experto.

Barreras asociadas a la realización del autoexamen de seno en mujeres de 18 a 50 años de edad: un estudio descriptivo

Abstract: Introduction: breast cancer is the most common female malignancy and is commonly associated with high levels of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Breast self-examination (BSE) it is a fundamental method for early detection of the disease. The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence and barriers associated to BSE in women between 18 to 50 years old. Methods: a cross sectional study in 627 healthy women between 18 50 years old from Pamplona, Colombia, was performed. Barriers to the practice of BSE (age, marital status, religion, family history for cancer disease, healthcare professionals counseling and social media), were collected by a structured questionnaire. Prevalence was calculated for each factor and associated barriers were established through a multivariate logistic regression models. Results: at the time of the survey, about 72% of women stated they did not practice BSE in the last month and 45% in the last six months. Regression models show that women who belong to the age group between 30 and 39 years old, women who did not have any counseling from a health professional and those who did not report breast cancer in their family history; were associated as barriers for practicing BSE. Conclusions: the BSE in the study population was low. These data could be used to provide educational intervention programs about the importance of early diagnosis of breast cancer.
