Résumé
Introducción: Según la Organización de la salud (OMS), calidad de vida es la percepción que un individuo tiene de su lugar en la existencia, en el contexto de la cultura y del sistema de valores en los que vive y en relación con sus objetivos, expectativas, normas e inquietudes. La escala GENCAT es una encuesta autoadministrada, basada en un modelo multidimensional que evalúa ocho dimensiones o dominios que cuando se toman en conjunto constituyen el concepto de calidad de vida. Objetivos: Describir la calidad de vida de los pacientes con discapacidad transitoria o permanente del Hospital Interzonal General (H.I.G) "Dr. José Penna" de Bahía Blanca, que se atendieron en el Servicio de Ortopedia y Traumatología, en un periodo de 3 meses. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio de corte trasversal en 66 pacientes con discapacidad transitoria o permanente que concurrieron al Servicio de Ortopedia y Traumatología del H.I.G "Dr. José Penna". Recolección prospectiva utilizando la escala GENCAT (01/07/18-01/10/18). Resultados: En el análisis de los dominios que afectan la calidad de vida se evidencia que el Dominio de Autodeterminación es el menos afectado (percentil 79%), siendo el más afectado es Dominio el Físico (percentil 25%). Dando un resultado final para calidad de vida en el percentil 15. Conclusiones: Se pudo evaluar y demostrar de qué manera una patología Ortopédica o Traumatológica influye en la vida de los pacientes, no sólo en la parte física sino también en la parte social, laboral y personal.
Introdution: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), quality of life is the perception that an individual has of his/her place in the world, in the context of the culture and the value system in which he/she lives and in relation to his/her objectives, expectations, standards, and concerns. GENCAT is a self-administered survey, based on a multi-dimensional model that assesses eight dimensions or domains that constitute the concept of quality of life when taken as a whole. Objectives: To describe the quality of life of patients with temporary or permanent disabilities at Hospital H.I.G "Dr. José Penna", Bahía Blanca, Orthopedics and Traumatology Service in a period of 3 months. Materials and Methods: cross-sectional study of 66 patients enrolled in the survey that presented temporary or permanent disabilities. Prospective data collection from July 1, 2018 to October 1, 2018 at Hospital H.I.G "Dr. José Penna", Bahía Blanca, Orthopedics and Traumatology Service using the GENCAT scale. Results: In the domain analysis that affects quality of life, it is evident that self-determination is the least affected domain (79% percentile) and the physical domain is the most affected one (25% percentile). A final result for quality of life in percentile 15 was obtained. Conclusion: ithas been evaluated and demonstrated that the influence of an orthopedic pathology or trauma in the life of a patient, has an impact not only in the physical but also in the social, labor, and personal life of an individual.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the present study was to analyze the larvicidal activity of different crude extracts of Larrea cuneifolia and its most abundant lignan, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), against Culex quinquefasciatus. METHODS: Chloroform, methanol, and aqueous extracts from L. cuneifolia and NDGA were tested against larvae of Cx. quinquefasciatus under laboratory conditions. RESULTS: The chloroform extract showed the highest larvicidal effect, with an estimated LC50 of 0.062 mg/ml. NDGA also demonstrated significant larvicidal activity with an estimated LC50 of 0.092 mg/ml. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that the chloroform extract of L. cuneifolia and NDGA are promising insecticides of botanical origin that could be useful for controlling Cx. quinquefasciatus.
