Resumen La globalización de los mercados y los gobiernos neoliberales han provocado la pauperización en las condiciones de vida de las clases trabajadoras y los grupos populares. En ese contexto resurgen las iniciativas de economías alternativas a la de mercado, basadas en la solidaridad y la reciprocidad. El tianguis Pochtecatl de economías alternativas es un esfuerzo en el sur de Jalisco, México, que busca mejorar el cuidado de la naturaleza, reafirmar los vínculos comunitarios y reivindicar los saberes regionales. Este tianguis ha transitado por distintas etapas, enfrentando retos y errores, así como reafirmando convicciones entre sus actores. Concluimos que estos esfuerzos son fundamentales para revertir la injusticia y la inequidad que genera el modelo económico hegemónico. Sin embargo, lograr que tales iniciativas trasciendan de los buenos deseos a resultados efectivos y sostenibles requiere convicción y compromiso por todos los actores con respecto a los retos que representa su instrumentación.

Abstract The globalization of markets and neoliberal governments have led to the pauperization of living conditions among the working classes and popular groups. In this context, initiatives for alternative economies to the market, based on solidarity and reciprocity, have resurfaced. The Pochtecatl alternative economy flea market is an effort in southern Jalisco, Mexico that seeks to improve the care of nature, reaffirm community ties, and reclaim regional knowledge. This market has gone through different stages, facing challenges and mistakes, as well as reaffirming convictions among its actors. We conclude that efforts like this one are fundamental at the present time in order to revert the injustice and inequity that generates the hegemonic economic model. However, to achieve that such initiatives transcend from good wishes to effective and sustainable results, requires conviction and commitment from all actors regarding the challenges that their implementation represents.

Abstract The study of corneal biomechanics has become relevant in recent years due to its possible applications in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of various diseases such as glaucoma, keratorefractive surgery and different corneal diseases. The clinical biomechanical investigation has become of great importance in the setting of refractive surgery to identify patients at higher risk of developing iatrogenic ectasia. This review focuses on two of the technologies available for clinical use, the Ocular Response Analyzer (Reichert Ophthalmic Instruments, Buffalo, NY, USA) and the Corvis ST (Oculus Optikgergäte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany). Both are non-contact tonometers that provided a clinical evaluation of corneal biomechanics. The fundamentals and main parameters of each device are described, as well as their use in eye surgery and the corneal biomechanical behavior in eye diseases. Finally, we will discuss the more recent Brillouin microscopy biomechanical analysis, and the integration Scheimpflug-based corneal tomography and biomechanical data with artificial intelligence to increase accuracy to detect risk of ectasia.

Resumen El estudio de la biomecánica corneal ha cobrado relevancia en los últimos años debido a sus posibles aplicaciones en el diagnóstico, el manejo y el tratamiento de diversas enfermedades, como glaucoma, cirugía queratorrefractiva y diferentes enfermedades corneales. La investigación de la biomecánica corneal es de mucha importancia en el contexto de cirugía refractiva, pues podría identificar pacientes en riesgo de desarrollar una ectasia corneal iatrogénica. Esta revisión se centra en dos de las tecnologías disponibles para uso clínico: el Ocular Response Analyzer (Reichert Ophthalmic Instruments, Buffalo, NY, EE. UU.) y el Corvis ST (Oculus Optikgergäte GmbH, Wetzlar, Alemania). Ambos son tonómetros de no contacto que proporcionan una evaluación clínica de la biomecánica corneal. Se describen los fundamentos y los principales parámetros de cada dispositivo, así como su uso en cirugía ocular y el comportamiento biomecánico corneal en las enfermedades oculares. Finalmente, se mencionan los dispositivos más recientes de análisis biomecánico, como la microscopía de Brillouin, así como la integración de los datos biomecánicos y topográficos basados en Scheimpflug con la inteligencia artificial para aumentar la precisión en la detección del riesgo de ectasias.

ABSTRACT Introduction: There is a lack of information about cardiac surgery training and professional practice in Latin American (LATAM) countries. This study is the first comparative analysis of cardiac surgical training and professional practice across LATAM and provides the fundamentals for future academic projects of the Latin American Association of Cardiac and Endovascular Surgery (LACES). Methods: International survey-based comparative analysis of the training and professional practice of cardiac surgeons across LATAM. Trainees (residents/fellows) and staf (graduated) surgeons from LATAM countries were included. Results: A total of 289 respondents (staf surgeons N=221 [76.5%]; residents/fellows N=68 [23.5%]) from 18 different countries participated in the survey. Most surgeons (N=92 [45.3%]) reported being unsatisfied with their salaries. Most respondents (N=181 [62.6%]) stated that it was difficult to obtain a leadership position, and 149 (73.8%) stated that it was difficult to find a job after completing training. Only half of the trainee respondents (N=32 [47.1%]) reported that their program had all resident spots occupied. Only 22.1% (N=15) of residents/fellows were satisfied with their training programs. The majority (N=205 [70.9%]) of respondents would choose cardiac surgery as their specialty again. Most surgeons (N=129 [63.9%]) and residents/fellows (N=52 [76.5%]) indicated that the establishment of a LATAM cardiac surgery board examination would be beneficial. Conclusion: Modernization and standardization of training, as well as greater access to opportunities, may be required in LATAM to increase professional satisfaction of cardiac surgeons and to reduce disparities in the specialty. Such changes may enhance the regional response to the dynamic challenges in the feld.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The interest in spinal endoscopy is rising, particularly among younger spine surgeons. Formalized postgraduate training programs for endoscopic spinal surgery techniques are lacking behind. Methods: The authors performed a retrospective survey study amongst participants of the 2022 AMCICO endoscopic surgery symposium. Descriptive and correlative statistics were done on the surgeon’s responses recorded in multiple-choice questions. In addition, surgeons were asked about their clinical experience and preferences with spinal endoscopy, training background, the types of lumbar endoscopic decompression they perform by approach, and future training requirements. SPSS (version 27) statistical software package was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistic measures were used to count responses and calculate the mean, range, standard deviation, and percentages. In addition, chi-square statistics were used to determine the strength of the association between factors. Results: The online survey was accessed by 321 surgeons, of which 92 completed it (53.4%). Demographic data showed the majority of responding surgeons being orthopedic surgeons (73.6%) and under the age of 50 (69.2%), with over half (51.1%) having less than three months of formalized training in endoscopic spinal surgery techniques. Most surgeons practiced uni-portal (58.9%) versus bi-portal (3.4%) spinal endoscopy. The transforaminal approach (65.5%) was preferred over the interlaminar method (34.4%). The bi-portal technique was indicated almost exclusively for the lumbar spine (94.8%). For endoscopically assisted spinal fusions, a uni-portal approach was preferred by 72% of surgeons over a bi-portal procedure (24.5%). 84.1% of respondents were interested in navigation, of which 30.7% preferred optical over electromagnetic technology (18.2%). Robotics was of interest to 51.1% of survey participants. Respondents’ bias was estimated with course attendance assessments, with 37% of surgeons having attended all three days, 27.2% two days, and 16.3% one day. One-fifth of responding spine surgeons did not participate in any curriculum activities but completed the survey. The academic impact of the AMCICO endoscopy symposium was high, with 68.1% of respondents indicating interest in continued training and 61.1% of trainees ready to apply their newly acquired knowledge base to clinical practice. Conclusion: The interest in spinal endoscopy surgery techniques and protocols is high among AMCICO members. Many surgeons are interested in learning advanced endoscopic surgical techniques to integrate the technology into their surgical procedure portfolio to address common painful conditions of the degenerative spine beyond herniated discs and foraminal stenosis. The authors concluded that its academic impact was high based on the responses given by the participating surgeons. Level of evidence III; Retrospective study.

Resumo: Introdução: O interesse em cirurgia endoscópica da coluna tem aumentado especialmente entre os jovens cirurgiões, contudo, são poucos os centros que atualmente oferecem programas de treinamento nesta disciplina. Métodos: Foi realizada uma pesquisa retrospectiva entre os participantes do simpósio de “Cirurgia Minimamente Invasiva e Endoscópica da Coluna Vertebral” realizado durante o Congresso AMCICO 2022. Estatísticas descritivas e testes de correlação foram aplicados às respostas das perguntas de múltipla escolha. Os cirurgiões foram questionados sobre experiência clínica e preferências pela endoscopia espinhal, histórico de treinamento, tipos de descompressão lombar endoscópica que realizaram e requisitos futuros para um treinamento adicional. O software estatístico SPSS (versão 27) foi utilizado para a análise de dados. As medidas estatísticas descritivas foram utilizadas para quantificar as respostas e calcular a mediana, a média, o desvio padrão e as porcentagens. O qui-quadrado foi empregado para determinar a associação entre os fatores estudados. Resultados: A pesquisa on-line foi visualizada por 321 cirurgiões, dos quais 92 a completaram (53,4%). As informações demográficas mostraram que a maioria dos participantes são cirurgiões ortopédicos (73,6%) e menores de 50 anos (69,2%), com mais da metade deles (51,1%) possuindo menos de 3 meses de treinamento formal em técnicas endoscópicas. A maioria dos cirurgiões pratica abordagens uniportais (58,9%, contra 3,4% bi-portais). A abordagem transforaminal (65,5%) foi preferida em relação à abordagem interlaminar (34,4%). A abordagem biportal foi selecionada como a abordagem indicada para a região lombar (94,8%). Para a fusão endoscopia-assistida, a abordagem unilateral foi preferida por 72% dos participantes contra a abordagem biportal (24,5%). Os sistemas de navegação foram de interesse para 84,1% dos participantes, dos quais 30,7% responderam que preferiam a óptica em vez da eletromagnética (18,2%). O uso da robótica foi de interesse para 51,1% dos participantes. O viés dos participantes foi calculado com base no percentual de participação, onde 37% participaram de todos os 3 dias de conferências, 27,2% participaram de 2 dias e 16,3% participaram de apenas um dia. Um quinto dos cirurgiões não participaram das atividades do simpósio e ainda assim responderam à pesquisa. O impacto acadêmico do simpósio de “Cirurgia Minimamente Invasiva e Endoscópica da Coluna Vertebral” foi alto, com 68,1% dos participantes respondendo que têm interesse em treinamento adicional nestas técnicas e 61,1% respondendo que estão prontos para aplicar novos conhecimentos em sua prática médica. Conclusão: O interesse em técnicas cirúrgicas endoscópicas da coluna vertebral é alto entre os membros da AMCICO. Um grande número de cirurgiões está interessado em aprender técnicas cirúrgicas endoscópicas avançadas da coluna vertebral e integrar esta tecnologia como parte de suas ferramentas cirúrgicas para resolver problemas comuns que afetam a coluna com doença degenerativa, além de hérnias de disco e estenoses foraminais. Baseados nas respostas fornecidas pelos cirurgiões participantes, os autores concluem que o impacto acadêmico foi elevado. Nível de evidência III; Estudo retrospectivo.

Abstract Background To offer proper medical care to patients with ST-segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) in low- and middle-income settings (LMIS) is challenging. However, it is not known if performance indicators have changed back after the epidemiological recovery. Objective to describe performance measures (PM) in patients with STEMI during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Observational study of patients with STEMI, from an LMIS, with analysis of PM suggested in the 2017 AHA-ACC Performance Measures for Adults with STEMI. COVID-19 period was determined from January 2020 to October 2021, and from November 2021 to February 2022 as the post-COVID-19 period. Baseline characteristics, treatments and selected PM were compared using the χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U test. All tests were two-sided, and statistical significance was considered as p-value <0.05. Coronary interventionism-related PM were not reported. Results Administration of thrombolysis decreased (71.2% vs 51.6% (p: 0.001)), while the delay time for its administration (Median (Interquartile Range)) increased considerably (30 min (16-60) to 45 min (35- 60) (p: 0.003)). Aspirin at admission was administered in each period at 92.9% vs 94.2% (p: 0.62); and at discharge to 97.8% vs 98.9% (p: 0.48). Beta-blockers, P2Y12 inhibitors, statins, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in patients with heart failure were administered to 67.1% vs 85.1% (p: 0.01), 96.4% vs 84% (p: 0.001), 96.2 % vs 95.7% (p: 1), and 81.2% vs 94.3% (p: 0.14), respectively. Conclusion Despite this being a current period of epidemiological recovery, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact the care of patients with STEMI.

ABSTRACT In the year 2021, research is being developed at the National Center for Medical Sciences Information to analyze the behavior of Cuban scientific production in health in several databases. As a result of these processes, a series of bibliometric reports were generated to support decision making by the system's managers. One of the components analyzed were the Cuban institutions that contribute to the country's scientific production in health-related topics. The objective of this work was to identify the main Cuban institutions that have the greatest impact on Cuban scientific production related to Health Sciences. A descriptive bibliometric analysis was carried out in multiple sources of information. The data were extracted during the first months of the year 2021. Health research institutions and biotechnology centers are the main contributors to publications. Several higher education centers also contribute a high number of publications. The University of Havana is the entity that contributes the largest number of articles in all the databases, followed by the University of Medical Sciences of Havana and the Central University "Marta Abreu" of Las Villas. This highlights the importance of universities and their role in the development of science and research in the country.

Abstract As a result of human activities and natural dispersal, exotic species can be brought to new areas, where they become established and spread, becoming invaders. These species are responsible for the loss of biodiversity and cause ecosystemic harm throughout the world. In this paper, we report the rapid, broad geographic expansion of the invasive fly Drosophila nasuta in Brazil. An 84% increase was found in its area of occupation in the country compared to previous studies. The present data reveal its arrival to the Pantanal wetlands in a location more than one thousand kilometers from the closest previous record in the Cerrado biome. We present the first record of D. nasuta in the Atlantic Forest in the states of Paraíba and Bahia. We report its introduction in the Amazon Forest in the state of Amazonas approximately 700 kilometers from previous records. The relative abundance of D. nasuta in this biome increased fivefold in comparison to a previous study. In the first decade of invasion in Brazil, D. nasuta has already colonized more than half of the country. The present data reveal its invasive potential and underscore the importance of following up the possible negative effects of this biological invasion.

ABSTRACT A new endemic species, Centaurodendron schilleri, is described from the Juan Fernández Archipelago, Chile. This is the third species of the endemic genus, Centaurodendron, which is closely related to Plectocephalus of the Chilean mainland. The new species is confined to Alejandro Selkirk Island, whereas the previously known species, C. dracaenoides and C. palmiforme, are confined to Robinson Crusoe Island. In morphological aspects, the new species is more distinct from the other two species than they are from each other. Molecular phylogenetic and biogeographic studies for island and continental species of these genera are in progress.

RESUMEN Se describe una nueva especie endémica, del archipiélago Juan Fernández, Centaurodendron schilleri. Esta es la tercera especie del género endémico Centaurodendron, el que se relaciona con Plectocephalus de Chile continental. La especie nueva crece en la isla de Alejandro Selkirk, mientras que C. dracaenoides y C. palmiforme lo hacen exclusivamente en la isla de Robinson Crusoe. En cuanto a la morfología, las dos especies conocidas se parecen más entre sí que cada una con la nueva. Estudios filogenéticos moleculares y biogeográficos sobre el complejo del grupo Plectocephalus s.l. de las islas y del continente están ahora en proceso.

Resumen La leucosis enzoótica bovina (LEB) es una infección económicamente importante del ganado lechero, causada por el virus de la leucemia enzoótica bovina (VLEB). El método habitual de propagación de la infección por VLEB es la transmisión horizontal, a través de la exposición directa e indirecta de animales susceptibles a los linfocitos infectados de la sangre o de la leche. Tras la infección los animales aparentan estar clínicamente sanos durante los primeros años postinfección, pero entre el 30 y 70 % de los animales pueden desarrollar linfocitosis persistente y del 0.1 a 10 % de los bovinos sufren de linfosarcoma. Esta infección se detecta mediante pruebas serológicas, generalmente por el ensayo por inmunoabsorción ligado a enzimas (ELISA). El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar la seroprevalencia de VLEB en hembras bovinas del municipio de Paipa (Boyacá). El estudio epidemiológico fue observacional descriptivo de corte (transversal) con muestreo aleatorio simple, en donde se recolectaron 1000 muestras de suero las cuales fueron procesadas mediante la técnica de ELISA indirecta implementando el kit comercial SERELISA® BLV Ab Mono Blocking. Se determinó una seroprevalencia de 31.1 % (311/1000) encontrando asociación estadística significativa entre la raza, la edad y la seropositividad al virus.

Abstract Enzootic Bovine Leukosis (EBL) is an economically important infection of dairy cattle, caused by the Enzootic Bovine Leukemia Virus (EBLV). The usual method of spread of EBLV infection is horizontal transmission, through direct and indirect exposure of susceptible animals to infected lymphocytes from blood or milk. After infection, animals appear to be clinically healthy during the first years after infection, but between 30 and 70 % of animals may develop persistent lymphocytosis and 0.1 to 10 % of cattle suffer from lymphosarcoma. This infection is detected by serological tests, usually by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The objective of this research was to determine the seroprevalence of EBLV in bovine females from the municipality of Paipa (Boyacá). The epidemiological study was Descriptive Observational (Cross-sectional) with simple random sampling, where 1000 serum samples were collected, which were processed using the indirect ELISA technique implementing the commercial kit SERELISA® BLV Ab Mono Blocking. A seroprevalence of 31.1 % (311/1000) was determined, finding a statistically significant association between breed, age and seropositivity for the virus.

Abstract: Specific measures to evaluate positive oral health have been in a nascent stage in Dentistry, especially in developing countries. The present study aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of Positive Oral Health and Well-Being (B-POHW). After forward-backwards translation to Brazilian Portuguese language, the cross-cultural adaptation of B-POHW was pretested, followed by the main study to perform psychometric analysis. We tested the model fit by Confirmatory Factor Analysis with categorical factor indicators in bifactor and simple structure models on a sample of 209 participants (mean age: 39.36 ± 12.26. Questionnaires about sociodemographic status, self-reported oral health-related outcomes, and general well-being were administered and used as external validation measures. Moreover, dental caries experience was clinically diagnosed. For test-retest reliability, 53 participants completed the B-POHW a fortnight later. The following results were found: a) the bifactor model presented the best model fit; b) the B-POHW demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω > 0.8); c) the intraclass correlation coefficient suggested good reliability for the Global Factor of B-POHW in the test-retest (ICC = 0.84); d) evidence based on other variables and construct representation was in line with the positive oral health framework. The B-POHW is psychometrically sound to be used in a Brazilian context, and evidence of its internal structure confirmed its theoretical framework for measuring positive oral health. These findings advance in holistic approaches, enabling to assess positive oral health in Dental practice in Brazil.

Resumo Objetivou-se documentar e analisar o efeito do clima no desenvolvimento feno-lógico do abacateiro ‘Hass’ em duas zonas contrastantes dos trópicos andinos de Caldas, localizadas a 1.950m e 2.400m respectivamente. Um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado foi implantado usando uma árvore ‘Hass’ de cinco a sete anos como unidade experimental e 15 repetições em cada área. As observações foram realizadas em brotos silépticos laterais e suas gemas apicais correspondentes localizadas no lado leste e oeste de cada árvore. O destino da gema apical das brotações laterais foi quantificado, a fenologia floral foi documentada, as unidades de calor foram calculadas desde o estágio 1 da gema reprodutiva até a antese e até a colheita e o crescimento radicular foi acompanhado para cada área de estudo. Valores de temperatura do ar, temperatura do solo, precipitação e radiação fotossinteticamente ativa (PAR) foram registrados ao longo do tempo. Foram encontradas diferenças no número de gemas apicais de brotações laterais com destino reprodutivo e vegetativo, fenologia de floração, unidades de calor, crescimento radicular, PAR e precipitação. Foram encontradas diferenças entre as variáveis avaliadas nas duas altitudes contrastantes. Há uma clara necessidade de mais estudos ecofisiológicos sobre está frutífera em áreas tropicais em particular.

Abstract The objective of this study was to document and analyze the effect of climate on the phenological development of ‘Hass’ avocado in two contrasting zones of the Andean tropics of Caldas, located at altitudes of 1,950m and 2,400m a.s.l., respectively. A completely randomized experimental design was carried out using a five to seven year-old ‘Hass’ tree as experimental unit and 15 replicates on each area. Observations were conducted on lateral sylleptic shoots and their corresponding apical buds located on the eastern and western sides of each tree. The destination of the apical bud of lateral shoots was quantified, floral phenology was documented, heat units were calculated from reproductive bud stage 1 to anthesis and to harvest and root growth was followed for each study area. Air temperature, soil temperature, precipitation and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) values were recorded over time. Differences were found in the number of apical buds of lateral shoots with reproductive and vegetative destination, flowering phenology, heat units, root growth, PAR and precipitation. Differences were found among variables evaluated at the two contrasting altitudes. There is a clear need for further ecophysiological studies on this fruit tree in tropical areas in particular.

Abstract Background Agriculture in South America (SA) had a great expansion in the last decades and weed control changed accordingly with region and crop practices. Objective The objective of this review is to present the history of herbicide use and discuss the main changes in weed management in SA. Methods Herbicide use quantities were obtained from official institutions and commercial organizations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. Data were summarized per active ingredient, herbicide mode of action or crop. The evolution of the cultivated area of the main crops in each country, and the crop and weed management associated to it were considered to discuss the importance and the consequences of the main herbicides used. Results In 2019 the most used herbicides in Brazil were glyphosate, 2,4-D, atrazine, paraquat and diuron representing 62, 15, 7, 5 and 2% of the total amount used. In Argentina, the increasing selection of herbicide resistant populations (4 cases/year), resulted in utilization of older chemistries. Weed control in Uruguay is traditionally benefited from crop/pasture rotations but recently is also facing problems of continuous cropping systems. Agriculture in Chile is more diverse, but similar patterns and problems of herbicide use are present. Conclusions Intensification of agriculture, no-tillage, glyphosate resistant crops, and herbicide resistant weeds were the most important drivers of herbicide use changes in SA. Integrated weed management is unpostponable to provide sustainable increasing food production in SA.

Resumen: La investigación tuvo como propósito analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala Breve de Resiliencia Connor-Davidson (CD-RISC 10). La muestra constó de 345 universitarios de ambos sexos de una universidad privada, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 a 50 años provenientes de Lima Metropolitana (Perú). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la escala breve de resiliencia CD-RISC 10, la Escala de Estrés Percibido (EEP-10) y la Escala de Autoeficacia General (EAG). Para analizar la validez de constructo se realizó un análisis factorial que demostró que el modelo unifactorial explica el 47 % la varianza total acumulada, posteriormente se pasó a corroborar el modelo propuesto a través del análisis factorial confirmatorio que arrojó valores óptimos de ajuste. Se estudió la validez convergente con las variables autoeficacia general (r = .664, p = .000) y una validez divergente con estrés percibido (r = -.402, p = .000). La confiabilidad se estableció a través de los coeficientes de alfa de Cronbach (α = .827) y Omega de McDonald (Ω = .827). Los resultados permiten concluir que el instrumento presenta evidencias de validez y que sus puntuaciones son consistentes.

Abstract: The purpose of the research was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Connor-Davidson Brief Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 10). The sample consisted of 345 university students of both genders from a private university, aged between 18 and 50 years from Metropolitan Lima. The tools used were the Brief Scale of Resilience CD-RISC 10, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and the General Self-efficacy Scale (GSE). Regarding the results, for the construct validity the factor analysis was carried out, which showed that the unifactorial model explains 47 % of the total accumulated variance, then the proposed model was corroborated through the confirmatory factor analysis, which yielded optimal values of goodness setting. Convergent validity was established with the variable’s general self-efficacy (r = .664, p = .000) and divergent validity with perceived stress (r = -.402, p = .000). Reliability was established through the coefficients of Cronbach's Alpha (α = .827) and McDonald's Omega (Ω = .827). These results allow us to conclude that the tool presents evidence of validity as well as its scores are consistent.
