ABSTRACT

Objective: identify constraints of patients with acute febrile syndrome to institutional care services access, emphasizing the identification of communication barriers. Method: this is a descriptive study that involves qualitative research techniques including malaria care service patients as well as assistance and administrative personnel of El Bagre town in Antioquia, Colombia in 2016. Semi-structured individual surveys, interviews and focus groups were used. Results: users listed difficulties including transportation, insufficient number of appointments and absence of personnel to access healthcare. Communication difficulties were related to the information provided in the paperwork and documents filled out to attend healthcare facilities, scarce information about diagnostic, control, and adherence to antimalarial treatment; additionally some patients did not use Spanish to communicate in oral or write form. Conclusion: the creation of health models based on structural transformations that encompass the needs of Healthcare System actors and communities is a must, which allows the establishment of foundations for a multicultural society project


Objetivo: Identificar limitaciones de los pacientes con síndrome febril agudo para acceder a los servicios de atención institucional, con énfasis en la identificación de barreras de comunicación.Método: Estudio descriptivo que involucra técnicas de investigación cualitativa con pacientes de los servicios de atención de la malaria y con personal asistencial y administrativo del municipio de El Bagre Antioquia, Colombia en el 2016. Se aplicaron encuestas semiestructuradas individuales, entrevistas y grupos focales. Los usuarios señalaron dificultades con el transporte, insuficiente número de citas y falta de personal para acceder a la atención. Resultados: Las dificultades de comunicación se relacionaron con la información suministrada sobre trámites y documentación para asistir a los puestos de salud, poca información sobre el diagnóstico, control y adherencia al tratamiento antimalárico y el no uso de algunos pacientes del español para comunicarse en forma verbal o escrita. Conclusiones: Esto exige crear modelos de salud basados en transformaciones estructurales que abarquen las necesidades de los actores del sistema de salud y las comunidades, permitiendo establecer las bases para un proyecto multicultural de sociedad.


Objetivo: Identificar limitações dos pacientes com síndrome febril agudo para aceder aos serviços de atenção institucional, com ênfase na identificação de barreiras de comunicação. Método: Estudo descritivo que involucra técnicas de pesquisa qualitativa com pacientes dos serviços de atenção da malária e com equipe assistencial e administrativo do município do Bagre Antioquia, Colômbia no 2016. Fizeram-se enquetes semiestruturadas individuais, entrevistas e grupos focais. Os usuários sinalaram dificuldades com o transporte, insuficiente número de horas marcadas e falta de pessoal para aceder à atenção. Resultados: As dificuldades de comunicação se relacionaram com a informação subministrada sobre trâmites e documentação para chegar aos SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde), pouca informação sobre o diagnóstico, controle e aderência ao tratamento antimalárico e o não uso de alguns pacientes do espanhol para comunicar-se em forma verbal ou escrita. Conclusões: Isto exige criar modelos de saúde baseados em transformações estruturais que abarquem as necessidades dos atores do sistema de saúde e as comunidades, permitindo estabelecer as bases para um projeto multicultural de sociedade.

ABSTRACT

El frailejón cuyo nombre científico es Espeletia spp., es considerado el arbusto emblema de los páramos, un ecosistema de importancia debido a que son fuente de agua y de materia orgánica, donde se han registrado un alto número de especies biológicas endémicas. Considerando la relevancia de la microbiota en la estructuración del suelo y en la disponibilidad de los nutrientes como soporte para el crecimiento vegetal, se determinaron las poblaciones microbianas cultivables de importancia funcional como dinamizadora de nutrientes en el suelo rizosférico de Espeletia spp. en el páramo de Santa Inés y en el de Frontino-Urrao en Antioquia. Los suelos se caracterizaron por ser ácidos y en el páramo de Frontino-Urrao se reportaron los mayores contenidos de materia orgánica y nitrógeno. La abundancia de microorganismos fue similar en los dos páramos y se registró únicamente variación en la abundancia de bacterias formadoras de endospora, que superaron en Frontino-Urrao 3,8 veces el contenido respecto al de Santa Inés. En ambos páramos se reportaron bacterias y hongos solubilizadores de fosfato y degradadores de celulosa que pueden ser empleados en procesos de restauración de suelos paramunos degradados por la minería, la ganadería o la agricultura.


The frailejón (Espeletia spp.) is the emblematic shrub of the paramo. This is an important ecosystem because they are sources of water and organic matter, and are inhabited by a high number of endemic biological species. Considering the importance of the microbiota in soil structure and nutrients availability to support plant growth, we assessed the cultivable microbial populations in Espeletia spp. rhizosphere in Santa Inés and Frontino-Urrao paramos, including functional groups with important role in cycling nutrients. The soil pH was strongly acid in both sites and the organic matter and nitrogen contents were highest in Frontino-Urrao soil. Nevertheless, the microbial abundance was similar in these sites except the content of endospore-forming bacteria, which was 3.8 fold large in Frontino-Urrao. Phosphate solubilizing and cellulolytic microorganisms were found in both sites. Those microorganisms would be used for soil restoration processes in paramos degraded by mining, livestock or agriculture.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to determine whether or not an association exists between leptospirosis-related knowledge and the practices of pedicab drivers in Manila. METHODS: An analytic, cross-sectional study was done among 174 male pedicab drivers. Face-to-face interviews were conducted using an interview schedule containing 12 questions covering knowledge of transmission and prevention, and 8 questions covering preventive occupation-related practices against leptospirosis. Logistic regression was employed to examine association while controlling for the confounding effects of other variables. RESULTS: Forty-nine percent were found to have good knowledge on the transmission and prevention of leptospirosis while 21% had satisfactory preventive and health-seeking practice. After controlling for the confounding effect of pedicab ownership, the odds of having unsatisfactory practices among those with low knowledge were found to be 13 times higher than those with good knowledge. Education was found to be an effect measure modifier. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that a low level of education combined with poor leptospirosis-related knowledge has a magnified effect on practices. Increasing the knowledge of pedicab drivers especially those with a low level of education is necessary to improve their practices. Information dissemination on leptospirosis should be further intensified. Collaboration between health workers and organizations of pedicab drivers can be done to organize health information seminars.

ABSTRACT

Se ha descrito que la curva de aprendizaje de la artroplastia de tobillo en un cirujano de pie y tobillo es de al menos diez pacientes. En esta serie de casos se evalúan las dificultades perioperatorias que se presentaron durante la realización de las diez primeras artroplastias de tobillo con la prótesis STAR (Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement) realizadas por el autor senior, y se describe la forma en que estas fueron resueltas intra o perioperatoriamente. La principal dificultad fue la discrepancia entre las dimensiones de los componentes tibial y talar de la prótesis, y las dimensiones del pilón tibial y del domo talar de los pacientes.

ABSTRACT

Partiendo de que las condiciones de vida son las que determinan los problemas de accesibilidad de la población más pobre a los servicios de salud, a pesar de los avances en materia de aseguramiento e inversión en la red propia de salud del Distrito Capital identificamos que en Bogota, D.C. y en el resto del país existe un franco desequilibrio entre la oferta y demanda de los recursos humanos en salud.Este desequilibrio es explicable en parte por la gran cantidad de instituciones formadoras y de egresados en el Distrito Capital, por la falta de cobertura total del Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud (SGSSS), generando una demanda de recurso humano que no cubre las necesidades de la totalidad de la población y por ende demanda por debajo de lo que debería ser.


Based on the fact that living conditions are what determine the problems of accessibility of the poorest population to health services, despite the progress made in terms of insurance and investment in the Capital District's own health network, we identified that in Bogota, D.C. and in the rest of the country there is a clear imbalance between the supply and demand of human resources in health. This imbalance can be explained in part by the large number of training institutions and graduates in the Capital District, by the lack of total coverage of the General System of Social Security in Health (SGSSS), generating a demand for human resources that does not cover the needs of the entire population and therefore demand below what it should be.
