ABSTRACT
Los imaginarios de la educación en salud pública de enfermería se construyen desde una visión histórica del currículo, los fundamentos normativos en educación y salud, las vivencias de los docentes, estudiantes y egresados; lo cual conlleva a la apropiación conceptual y metodológica de estrategias para fortalecer la calidad de la formación de enfermeras en el siglo XXI. OBJETIVO: develar imaginarios de educación en salud pública en el programa de Enfermería de la Universidad Surcolombiana desde 1993 hasta 2013. METODOLOGIA: estudio cualitativo, de análisis de contenido. Muestreo deliberado de profesores del área de salud pública y estudiantes de Enfermería de último año. Información recolectada mediante entrevista de grupo focal y procesado con el software Atlas Ti. RESULTADOS: en relación con el tema de estudio emergen categorías principales: concepción de la salud pública, comprensión de la salud pública, formación profesional del maestro, la salud pública en el plan de estudios, educación en salud pública en enfermería y lo "no visto, no sentido, no escuchado". CONCLUSIONES: los imaginarios de educación en salud pública de Enfermería en la Universidad Surcolombiana se caracterizan por una crisis epistemológica entre teorías y prácticas disciplinares; las políticas propuestas por la oms/ops y las leyes de la profesión indican la necesidad de robustecer la integración curricular, el desarrollo de competencias específicas y la participación de los estudiantes en la definición de objetivos, métodos y ambientes de aprendizaje desde una visión holística y global pero con perspectiva local.
The imaginaries of Public Health Education in Nursing are built on the basis of a historical view of the curriculum, the normative foundations regarding education and health, and the experiences of teachers, students and alumni. This leads to the conceptual and methodological appropriation of strategies for strengthening the quality of the nurses' training in the XXI century. OBJECTIVE: To reveal the imaginaries of public health education existing within the Nursing program of the Southern Colombia University from 1993 to 2013. METHODOLOGY: a qualitative study with content analysis in which a purposive sampling was carried out with public health professors and senior nursing students. Data was collected via focus groups interviews and processed with the Atlas Ti software. RESULTS: Three main categories emerged in relation to the studied subject: conception of public health, understanding of public health, professor training, public health in the curriculum, public health education in nursing and the "unseen, unfelt, and unheard". CONCLUSIONS: The imaginaries of education in public health of the Nursing training program of the Southern Colombian University are characterized by an epistemological crisis between theories and disciplinary practices in public health. Likewise, the policies proposed by the WHO / PAHO and the laws of the profession point to the need to strengthen curriculum integration, the development of specific skills and student participation in the definition of objectives, methods and learning environments in public health from a holistic and comprehensive viewpoint but with local perspective.

We report a 60 years old male presenting with a history of repeating syncopal episodes lasting seven days. The patient had a history of an intestinal lymphoma treated four years ago.

The association of syncope and cervical tumors has been described previously.

The prevalence of pituitary among adolescents is 0.1 per million and the most common type is prolactinoma. We report two adolescents with pituitary adenomas. A 15 years old female presenting with a progressive reduction of visual acuity, headache and galactorrhea. Magnetic resonanceshowed a sellar tumor with suprasellar expansion. She was subjected to transcraneal surgery and the pathological study of the piece disclosed a prolactinoma. A 23 years old male presenting with weight gain, headache and decreased visual acuity of the left eye. Magnetic resonance demonstrateda tumor with sellar and suprasellar involvement. He was subjected to transsphenoidal surgery and the pathological study of the surgical piece disclosed a prolactinoma.

Human biodiversity originates partially from human microevolution, which have produced different populations. This biodiversity is responsible for most of the variability in drug response. We present the methodology employed in population pharmacology studies and general information about the CYP2D6 and NAT2 systems. We report results obtained in Embera and Ngawbe Amerindians, who are characterized by a low phenotypic and genotypic CYP2D6 diversity. In regard to NAT2, Amerindians are distinguished by a high allelic frequency of S3 and low ones of S1 and S2, situation which is reversed in Caucasians
