RESUMO
Nevado del Ruiz (Colombia) is infamous for the catastrophic eruption of 1985 that destroyed the villages of Armero and Chinchiná. However, this was not the volcano's first destructive event; similar eruptions also occurred in 1595 and 1845. In 1985, the limited geodetic data available failed to provide a clear warning of the impending eruption. Since then, advancement in geodetic monitoring, now incorporating tilt and satellite geodesy, along with improvements in seismic, geochemical, geological and remote sensing monitoring, have enhanced hazards assessment and mitigated the risk during subsequent eruptions in 1989, 2012, and 2015-2019, as well as during periods of unrest over the last 13 years. Modeling of deformation data over the past 13 years reveals complex interactions between the local, shallow magmatic system beneath Nevado del Ruiz and a deep, regional magmatic system beneath Nevado de Santa Isabel, 9 km southwest of Nevado del Ruiz. Before February 2012, the volcano deflated because of the depressurization of the local shallow reservoir. This same reservoir later fueled ash emissions and gas release (2012-2023), and a dome-forming eruption (2015-2019). In contrast, the inflation observed from 2012 to 2023 is linked to the pressurization of the deep reservoir beneath the Nevado de Santa Isabel.
RESUMO
Resumen En diciembre de 2019 se detectó por primera vez en China la existencia del SARS-CoV2, causante de la enfermedad COVID-19. El virus rápidamente se propagó por Europa y Asia, tardándose un par de meses antes de llegar a América Latina. Se ha demostrado que los pacientes que desarrollan una enfermedad severa y que tienen mayor riesgo de mortalidad por COVID-19 son aquellos con edades avanzadas y que presentan por lo menos una enfermedad crónica, incluyendo el cáncer. Debido a lo anterior, surgen muchas dudas en el grupo de profesionales encargados de brindar tratamiento a pacientes con cáncer durante la pandemia, pues se debe equilibrar el riesgo-beneficio de proveer tratamiento a pacientes que se encuentran de base con un riesgo incrementado para tener manifestaciones severas por COVID-19. En este consenso planteamos recomendaciones para los profesionales en hematología que brindan tratamiento a pacientes que padecen de algún tipo de linfoma, con el fin de aclarar el panorama clínico durante la pandemia.
Abstract The existence of SARS-CoV2, the cause of COVID 19 disease, was detected for the first time in China in December 2019. The virus quickly spread across Europe and Asia, taking a couple months to reach Latin America. It has been shown that elderly patients and those with chronic diseases, including cancer, have a higher risk of mortality from COVID-19. Consequently, many doubts arise in the group of health professionals responsible for treating patients with cancer during the pandemic, as they must balance the risk-benefit of delivering treatment to patients with an increased risk for severe manifestations resulting from COVID-19. In this consensus we propose recommendations for hematology professionals who provide treatment to patients suffering from some type of lymphoma, with the aim of clarifying the clinical picture during the pandemic.

Gluten-free breads were developed by incorporating unripe banana flour in a blend of alternative flour/cassava starch, 45/50. A factorial design was applied to determine the simultaneous effect of percentage of unripe banana flour (2, 8, 15%) and the type of alternative flour (quinoa, oyster mushroom, yellow pea and lentil flour) on structural and colour properties of bread. Principal component analysis was used to evaluate the behaviour of the formulations from a comprehensive perspective. Three formulations, denoted as P8 (pea + 8% unripe banana flour), Q15 (quinoa + 15% unripe banana flour) and L15 (lentil + 15% unripe banana flour) exhibited the closest profiles to reference (wheat bread). Breads with oyster mushroom flour showed a profile significantly different from the rest of formulations. The interactions among the factors were significant for all studied properties and showed that the unripe banana flour fortification did not lead to proportional responses on the bread properties, but the behaviour of unripe banana flour in breadmaking relied on the percentage and the type of alternative flour used. The P8, Q15 and L15 exhibited high fibre content and carbohydrate content lower than the reference. In addition, P8 formulation can be classified as intermediate glycaemic index.

La terapia larval es utilizada desde los años 30 del siglo pasado para la remoción del tejido necrótico en el tratamiento de úlceras crónicas infectadas logrando con ello promover la formación de tejido granuloso para el crecimiento de piel sana; especialmente a partir de la aparición de la resistencia a los antibióticos se la reconoce como una alternativa eficaz. Se presentan los resultados de la aplicación de la terapia larval en 42 pacientes con úlceras de diferentes orígenes, utilizando, como una nueva alternativa en larviterapia, la especie Lucilia eximia. Se presenta documentación fotográfica de la aplicación de esta terapia en cuatro casos.
Larval therapy is used in the treatment of infected chronic wounds by allowing the removal ofnecrotic tissue, which induces the formation of granular tissue and the growth of healthy skin.Considering the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance, this type of therapy may be an effectivealternative in the management of infected chronic wounds. In this article we report the use ofmaggot therapy using the Lucilia eximia species in 42 patients with chronic skin wounds associatedto different pathologies including: venous and arterial ulcers, diabetic foot, sickle cell disease,vasculopathy, elephantiasis, Berger disease, pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), traumatic wounds, erysipelas, and hospital acquired infections. Four cases are depicted photographically.
