ABSTRACT
Con el objetivo de detener la transmisión del coronavirus (declarado como pandemia por la Organización Mundial de la Salud [OMS]), y prevenir la propagación de la enfermedad COVID-19, el Gobierno de Colombia decretó un período de aislamiento social y confinamiento obligatorio en el territorio nacional a partir del 24 de marzo de 2020. El Instituto de Coloproctología (ICO) diseñó un programa de teleconsulta, junto con la entidad prestadora de los servicios de salud (EPS) SURA, apoyado en las tecnologías de la información disponibles. Se buscó mantener las actividades propias de la coloproctología y la fisioterapia del piso pélvico para garan-tizar a los pacientes la atención y el acceso ininterrumpido. Luego de 25 días, se programaron 626 consultas (coloproctología 62 % y fisioterapia del piso pélvico 38 %) con un porcentaje de ejecución del 94 % y una resolutividad del 78 %. Estas cifras demuestran que la telemedicina, al igual que otras actividades basadas en el teletrabajo, llegó para quedarse y trae consigo altos niveles de satisfacción para médicos, pacientes y entidades prestadoras de los servicios de salud. En este campo, también, el mundo nunca será el mismo.(AU)
After being decreed, as of March 24, 2020, social isolation and mandatory confinement began in the national territory with the aim of stopping the transmission and preventing the spread of the coronavirus as it was declared a pandemic by the World Organization of Health (WHO). The Instituto de Coloproctología (ICO) designed and developed, together with its largest insurance company EPS SURA and through the available technologies of information, a teleconsultation program, with the aim of maintaining the activities of colorectal surgery and pelvic floor biofeedback and thus guaranteeing uninterrupted medical care and access for our patients. After twenty-five days, 626 consultations were scheduled (colorectal surgery 62 % and pelvic floor biofeedback 38 %) with a percentage of execution of 94 % and a resolution of 78%. This shows that teleme-dicine, like all teleworking activities, came to stay with high levels of satisfaction, in a world that will never be the same again.(AU)

El Zika es una enfermedad emergente en Venezuela y en el estado Zulia, evoluciona generalmente de manera benigna y puede producir complicaciones como síndrome Guillain Barré y microcefalia en recién nacidos. Se plantea describir los aspectos clínicos, epidemiológicos del brote de Zika y los casos de microcefalia. La investigación es descriptiva, transversal, realizada de mayo 2016 a marzo 2017. La población fue de 1.155 casos sospechosos, la muestra 228 pacientes, resultando 108 positivos por PCR en tiempo real. El mayor número de casos se presentó en la edad de 17 a 33 años (59,3%), predomina el sexo femenino (81,5%), en los municipios Maracaibo y San Francisco (75%). En relación a la sintomatología, la frecuencia fue erupción (84,3%), cefalea y fiebre (76,9%), menos común la artralgia (65,7%) y mialgias (47,2%). Durante el brote, se presentaron dos muertes del sexo masculino, representando el 1,9%; 146 casos con el síndrome de Guillain Barré y 7 casos con microcefalia correspondiente al sexo masculino (85%), con una edad gestacional del recién nacido de 37,4 semanas y sobrevida de 85%. La principal recomendación, debe estar orientada al control del vector transmisor de la enfermedad y hacer el diagnóstico de los casos sospechosos para su confirmación.
Zika is an emerging disease in Venezuela and in the state of Zulia, it generally evolves in a benign manner and can produce complications such as Guillain-Barré syndrome and microcephaly in newborns. Itis proposed to describe the clinical and epidemiological aspects of the Zika outbreak and the cases of microcephaly. The research is descriptive, cross-sectional, conducted from May 2016 to March 2017. The population consisted of 1,155 suspected cases, with a sample of 228 patients, resulting in 108 positive PCR in real time. The largest number of cases occurred at the age of 17 to 33 years (59.3%), with a predominance of females (81.5%), in the municipalities of Maracaibo and San Francisco (75%). In relation to the symptomatology, the frequent are rash (84.3%), headache and fever (76.9%), while arthralgia (65.7%) and myalgia (47.2%) are less common. During the outbreak, there were two deaths of the male sex, representing 1.9%; 146 cases with Guillain-Barré syndrome and 7 cases with microcephaly, corresponding to the male sex (85%), with a newborn gestational age of 37.4 weeks and 85% survival. The main recommendation should be directed to the control of the transmitting vector of the disease and to make the diagnosis of the suspicious cases for their confirmation.
ABSTRACT
Este artículo versa sobre el deterioro de la relación médico-paciente por el sistema de salud colombiano basado en principios neoliberales del mercado de la salud. Son tan numerosos los datos y las evidencias del deterioro de la atención en salud en Colombia durante las dos últimas décadas, que se hace innecesario emplear una metodología cuantitativa de administración de pruebas para denunciarlo. Aquí se muestra la precarización de la relación médico-paciente en Colombia, mediante testimonios de expertos y observación propia como usuario del sistema...
This paper addresses the deterioration of the doctor-patient relationship within the Colombian healthcare system based on neoliberal principles of the healthcare market. The data on and evidence of the deterioration of healthcare services in Colombia over the past two decades are so numerous that it is unnecessary to use quantitative test management methodology to denounce this. Here, the way in which the doctor-patient relationship in Colombia has become precarious is shown through expert testimony and personal observation as a system user...

The hemoglobin level of normal Filipino full term newborn is 16.24 gms.% +- 0.1487 (range 11.0-20.0 gm.%). There is a direct relationship of maternal and infant hemoglobin levels: the infant hemoglobin level being maintained at the expense of the mother. There seems to be an indirect relationship between the hemoglobin level of the infant and the age of the infant. The source of the sample does not make any difference with regard to the infant hemoglobin
ABSTRACT
The comparison among specimens of Rhodnius prolixus, at different stages of development, exposed to infections by Trypanosoma rangeli and Trypanosoma cruzi, revealed that the bugs exposed to T.cruzi showed a significant higher susceptibility to infection than that observed in the groups to T.rangeli or to the mixture of both parasites. The similar mortality rate recorded in uninfected and T.cruzi infected bugs confirms that this parasite is hermless to R.prolixus. On the other hand, T.rengeli produces its pathological effect although existence of a direct relation between the amount of ingested parasites and the mortality produced. In mixed infetion, T.cruzi does not inhibit the harmful effect of T.rangeli on R.prolixus. The life cycle of R.prolixus is not affected by high infection of T.cruzi or low infection by T.rangeli in mixed infections, the time to reach the adult stage in relation to controls, was significantly longer. The epidemiological significance of the present results, is discussed
