ABSTRACT

Z and quasi-Z-source inverters (Z/qZSI) have a nonlinear impedance network on their dc side, which allows the system to behave as a buck-boost converter in their outputs. The challenges derived from the qZSI topology include (a) the control of the voltage and current on its nonlinear impedance network, (b) the dynamic coupling between the ac and dc variables, and (c) the fact that a unique set of switches are used to manage the power at dc and ac side of the system. In this work, a control scheme that combines a PWM linear control strategy and a strategy based on finite control state model predictive control (FCS-MPC) is proposed. The linear approach works during steady state, while the FCS-MPC works during transient states, either in the start-up of the converter or during sudden reference changes. This work aims to show that the performance of this control proposal retains the best characteristics of both schemes, which allows it to achieve high-quality waveforms and error-free steady state, as well as a quick dynamic response during transients. The feasibility of the proposal is validated through experimental results.

ABSTRACT

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo, proponer metodologías adecuadas para desarrollar habilidades de comunicación en estudiantes de pregrado que cursan la carrera de odontología, a partir de principios, objetivos, estratégias de enseñanza aprendizaje e instrumentos de evaluación. Ya que durante mucho tiempo, se desconoció la importancia del desarrollo de estas habilidades en la formación del odontólogo, estas se suponían de antemano y se dejaba abandonada a la iniciativa y aptitudes naturales del estudiante, recientemente estas habilidades se están incorporando en la formación odontológica ya que es necesaria su enseñanza durante el pre-grado. Cabe recalcar que el desarrollo de estas habilidades es algo nuevo en nuestras universidades y que es necesario implementar metodologías adecuadas para impulsar su enseñanza en la formación del profesional odontólogo.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Diversos factores clínicos, anatomopatológicos y técnicos influyen en la cicatrización correcta de las suturas intestinales tras la práctica de una resección intestinal. Uno de los factores más implicados es el estado nutricional del paciente. Objetivos: Evaluar la influencia de la desnutrición inducida en la viabilidad de una anastomosis intestinal primaria mediante el análisis del procolágeno (PINP) y del telopétido carboxiterminal del colágeno I (ICTP) depositados en ella. Material y método: Usamos 40 ratas Wistar y material de radioinmunoanálisis (kits comerciales de RIA ICTP-RIA® e Intact PINP®). Se formaron 2 grupos de ratas, 20 animales para cada grupo: grupo control (A) y grupo "desnutrición" (B). Se analizó PINP e ICTP mediante RIA sobre tejido colónico homogeneizado, preanastomótico y anastomótico. Resultados: Hay menores valores de PINP en el colon de las ratas del grupo B que en el del grupo A (0,3620 y 0,4340 µg/g, respectivamente) (p = 0,032). Hay un mayor valor de ICTP analizado en el colon del grupo B (0,9545 en contraposición a 0,8460 µg/g, en el grupo A) (p = 0,875). En las anastomosis del grupo B hay menos síntesis de PINP que en el grupo A (0,376 y 0,468 µg/g, respectivamente; p = 0,002). Conclusiones: La anastomosis colónica incrementa las concentraciones de PINP e ICTP en el tejido cicatrizal (p < 0,001); la desnutrición reduce la colagenización de las anastomosis (p < 0,001)


Introduction: Various clinical, pathological and technical factors influence the viability of intestinal suturing after intestinal resection. One of the most important factors is the patient's nutritional status. Objectives: To evaluate the influence of induced nutrition on the viability of primary intestinal anastomosis by means of analysis of collagen I procollagen (PINP) and telopeptide (ICTP) deposited in the anastomosis. Material and method: 40 Wistar rats and material for the radioimmunoassay (ICTP-RIA® and Intact PINP® commercial radioimmunoassay kits) were used. We used two groups of 20 rats each: control group (A) and a "malnourished" group (B). PINP and ICTP were analyzed through radioimmunoassay of homogenized, preanastomotic and anastomotic colonic tissue. Results: PINP levels were lower in the colons of group B rats than in the control group (0.3620 and 0.4340 µg/g respectively) (p = 0.032). ICTP levels were higher in the colons of group B rats than in those of group A rats (0.9545 versus 0.8460 µg/g respectively) (p = 0.875). PINP synthesis was lower in the anastomoses of group B than in group A (0.376 and 0.468 µg/g respectively; p = 0.002). Conclusions: Colonic anastomosis increases PINP and ICTP levels in scar tissue (p < 0.001). Malnutrition reduces collagenization of colonic anastomoses (p < 0.001)

ABSTRACT

It has been reported that avoidance of recurrences after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) depends on using sutures to secure the mesh. We developed a successful sutureless LVHR. The "Double Crown" LVHR using ePTFE mesh (overlap, 23 cm) was done in 140 cases. Tacks were placed 1 cm apart at the edge of the mesh. A second crown of tacks was placed at the edge of the defect. Three conversions (2.14%) and five bowel perforations occurred intraoperatively (3.57%). Postoperative complications were prolonged ileus (two cases), hematoma (two cases), seroma requiring drainage (three cases), and reoperation in one case for mesh intolerance, three cases for bowel perforation, and one case for small bowel ischemia. The recurrence rate (mean follow-up of 40 months) was 2.14%. The Double Crown LVHR is a safe alternative to LVHR using sutures, with a similar recurrence rate, less pain, fewer incisions and infections, and a shorter operating time.

ABSTRACT

La combinación metamisol sódico, cafeína e isometepteno clorhidrato se emplea en forma farmacéutica líquida oral para el tratamiento de la migraña y estados febriles. En este artículo se presentan los resultados del desarrollo, estandarización y validación de una metodología analítica por cromatografía líquida de alta eficiencia para cuantificar simultáneamente metamisol sódico (dipirona) y cafeína en presencia de isometepteno clorhidrato. Para la separación cromatográfica se empleó una columna C18 para fase reversa y detección a 273 nm
