ABSTRACT
@#Isolated apophyseal avulsion of the greater trochanter is a rare condition in the paediatric population, frequently related to avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Since there are few cases in the literature, there is no consensus regarding the best treatment of this injury. Our study describes the case of a 9-year-old patient with an avulsion of the right greater trochanter. A minimally invasive osteosynthesis was performed, achieving complete clinical and radiographic healing of the patient and no long-term complications after four years.
ABSTRACT
The mycoflora of the environment: wheat conditioning, milling and screening, and filling zone, as well as, raw material -wheat-, intermediate product -grits- and end product -flour- on day 1, and after cleaning improvements -days 45 and 90- were studied in an Argentine wheat mill. Samples were incubated at 28°C for 5-7 days on Malt Extract Agar with chloramphenicol (100 mg L-1) and the results were expressed in colony forming units per cubic meter of air (CFU m-3) or per gram of sample (CFU g-1), respectively. Fungal genera and species were isolated and identified and the potential toxicogenic capacity of the Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium graminearum isolated was studied. Time-Place and Time-Product multifactorial ANOVA were carried out. After cleaning improvements, CFU m-3 of air decreased as a function of time. Cladosporium and Alternaria were abundant in every zone, Aspergillus predominated in the wheat conditioning zone and Penicillium and Eurotium decreased with time. Wheat was more contaminated than grits and flour; Aspergillus, Eurotium and Mucoraceae family were the most abundant. Deoxynivalenol was above the levels allowed in wheat, being acceptable in grits and flour. Aflatoxin and Zearalenone showed acceptable levels. When studied in vitro, 53% of Aspergillus flavus and 100% of Fusarium graminearum isolates, produced Total Aflatoxins, and Deoxynivalenol and Zearalenone, respectively.

Se analizó la flora fúngica ambiental de la biblioteca de la Facultad de Ingeniería Química de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Santa Fe, a los fines de evaluar los posibles riesgos tantos para la salud de los asistentes como por el probable deterioro de las colecciones existentes. El muestreo se realizó con un equipo SAS (sistema de aire sólido) que aspira 100 litros de aire por minuto, a 1,5 m de altura durante un min., por duplicado, entre las 11,30 y 12,30 horas. Se utilizó MEA + antibiótico (agar extracto de malta, cloranfenicol 100 mg por ciento). Se llevaron a cabo dos muestreos en condiciones ambientales diferentes: Muestreo A: Temperatura 16,5 ºC, Humedad Relativa 75 por ciento, Presión 1015,4 hPa. El salón de publicaciones periódicas presentó una carga fúngica de 25 UFC/m3 y el archivo 95 UFC/m3. Los géneros fúngicos aislados fueron: Cladosporium spp, Penicillium sp, Trichoderma sp, Aspergillus spp, Alternaria sp y Acremonium sp. Muestreo B: Temperatura 20 ºC, Humedad Relativa 95 por ciento, Presión 1013,7 hPa. El salón de publicaciones periódicas presentó una carga fúngica de 290 UFC/m3 y el archivo 360 UFC/m3. Los géros fúngicos aislados fueron: Cladosporium spp, Humicola sp, Aspergillus spp, Alternaria sp y Acremonium sp. Si bien en ambos muestreos no se detectaron valores altos de contaminación, éstos resultaron significativamente superiores en condiciones de humedad relativa y temperatura mayores. Se destaca que alguno de los mohos aislados como: Trichoderma viride y Humicola sp poseen una lata capacidad celulolítica deteriorante y otros: Cladosporium spp, Aspergillus spp, Acremonium sp y Alternaria sp son agentes de reconocida participación en procesos clínicos patógenos y en afecciones alérgicas
