RESUMO
Resumen: Introducción: el acromion es una pequeña porción de la escápula que se extiende hacia la región anterior desde la espina de la escápula. Tradicionalmente se clasifica al acromion por la forma de su superficie inferior en un plano sagital. Se ha encontrado que la morfología acromial está rela-cionada con la lesión del manguito rotador. Objetivo: determinar la asociación entre el tipo de acromion con una mayor incidencia de ruptura de manguito rotador. Población de estudio: pacientes que acudan al Servicio de Traumatología y Ortopedia de un hospital privado de tercer nivel en la ciudad de Monterrey por hombro doloroso y a los cuales se les haya realizado una resonancia magnética simple de hombro. Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio de tipo transversal, retrospectivo y descriptivo, en el cual se revisaron 273 estudios de resonancia magnética en pacientes que cumplieran los criterios de inclusión. Se reportó el tipo de acromion según la clasificación morfológica en tipo I a IV y el estado del manguito rotador: sin ruptura, ruptura parcial o ruptura completa, haciendo una comparación entre hombro derecho e izquierdo. Resultados: se obtuvo un valor de p = 0.473 por lo que se concluye que no existe una asociación entre el tipo de acromion y el estado del manguito rotador. Conclusión: en el presente estudio, a diferencia de lo publicado en la literatura, se obtuvo que el acromion tipo II fue al que se asoció la mayoría de los casos con ruptura del manguito rotador.
Abstract: Introduction: the acromion is a small portion of the scapula that extends towards the anterior region from the spine of the scapula. Traditionally, the acromion is classified by the shape of its inferior surface in a sagittal plane. Acromial morphology has been found to be related to rotator cuff injury. Objective: to determine the association between the type of acromion with a higher incidence of rotator cuff rupture. Study population: patients who come to the Traumatology and Orthopedics Service of a third level hospital at Monterrey, Mexico, due to a painful shoulder and who have undergone a simple magnetic resonance of the shoulder. Material and methods: a cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study was carried out, in which 273 magnetic resonance studies were reviewed in patients who met the inclusion criteria. The type of acromion was reported according to the morphological classification in type I to IV and the state of the rotator cuff: without rupture, partial rupture or complete rupture, making a comparison between right and left shoulder. Results: in this study we found a value of p = 0.473 which concludes that there is no relation between the type of acromion and the injury of the rotator cuff. Conclusion: in the present study, unlike what has been published in the literature, it was found that type II acromion was the one that was associated in most cases with a rotator cuff tear.

Based on nymphs collected in Espírito Santo and Amazonas, Southeastern and Northern Brazil, two new species of the genus Rivudiva Lugo-Ortiz McCafferty, 1998 (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) are described. Rivudiva inma sp. nov. shares several characteristics with R. minantenna Lugo-Ortiz McCafferty, 1998, but can be distinguished by details of leg setation, such as length and shape of robust setae and presence of setae on trochanter. Rivudiva oonirikoperi sp. nov. is more similar to R. trichobasis Lugo-Ortiz McCafferty, 1998, but can be separated by the absence of setae on scape and pedicel, shape of distal margin of labrum, and length of maxillary palp. New diagnoses and illustrations are provided for R. minantenna and R. trichobasis, as well as a key to the known nymphs of Rivudiva species.

The objective was to characterize milk yield and composition from mixed-breed goats kidding in winter and grazing rangelands with 221 (n = 15), 334 (n = 20), or 441 (n = 12) mm of annual rainfall in northern Mexico (22-25°N). Weekly milk yield and composition were recorded and progeny growth performance assessed. Body weight loss during lactation was the highest (6.4 kg) for goats on rangeland with 441 mm of rainfall than goats on 221 mm (1.6 kg), or 334 mm (1.8 kg; P < 0.01). The highest daily milk yield was for goats on 221 mm (498 mL; P < 0.01). There was not an evident peak of lactation and milk yield increased uninterruptedly at the end of lactation. Milk fat was negatively related to milk yield and goats on rangeland with 334 mm had the greatest milk fat content (P < 0.001). Milk protein and lactose content were higher in goats on rangeland with 221 mm (P < 0.01). Goat kids on rangelands with 221 and 441 mm grew faster and were heavier (P < 0.001) at weaning than kids reared in other rangelands. Weaning weight was positively related to milk yield (P < 0.001); but not milk components (P > 0.05). In conclusion, moderate milk yield of mixed-breed goats on rangeland is feasible with parturitions in winter, and milk yield is not affected by reduced annual precipitation in rangelands of northern Mexico. Offspring growth performance depends on maternal milk yield, but not milk composition. Nevertheless, slow growth to weaning of offspring had adverse effects on time to reach adequate market weight.

A total of 320 13-weeks-old pullets were weighed and randomly allocated to treatments comprised by four levels of crude glycerin (0, 3, 6 or 9%) and two levels of ME (metabolizable energy, difference of 100 kcal/kg) in the diets growing (14 to 17 weeks of age), pre-lay and pre-peak (low: 2750, 2800 and 2750 kcal/kg and high: 2850, 2900 and 2850 kcal/kg, respectively). During the study, body weight was registered until 30 weeks of age, feed intake, egg weight and egg-production for each repetition and for individual hens were measured every week. The information was analyzed through a completely randomized design with a 4x2 factorial arrangement. During the growing phase, hens that received low energy diets consumed more feed (p 0.05), gained less body weight (p 0.05) and recorded lower feed conversion (p 0.05). Besides, a positive linear effect (p 0.05) was observed when including glycerin on feed conversion and weight gain. During the initial egg-laying phase, hens fed low-energy diets consumed more feed (p 0.05) and laid lighter eggs (p 0.05). Furthermore, a positive linear effect (p 0.05) of including crude glycerin on egg yield and feed intake was observed. After the egg-laying peak, the hens of high energy groups consumed 1.6 g/d less feed (p 0.05) and lay 0.9% less eggs, also, it a quadratic effect of inclusion of glycerin on laying-eggs was observed. In conclusion, the use of high energy diets decrease feed intake, increase egg weight until peak, but decrease the percentage of eggs post-peak; glycerin used in diets increases feed intake and improves egg-laying rate in different ways during the laying phase.

Resumen Las proteínas recombinantes se han convertido en herramientas útiles en la investigación bioquímica. Sin embargo, durante su producción, aparecen cuerpos de inclusión (IB), debido, por un lado, a la alta expresión de proteína producida a partir de los vectores usados que poseen promotores de alta eficiencia y, por otro lado, a características propias de la proteína. Ahora bien, la nicotinamida/nicotinato mononucleótido adenililtransferasa (NMNAT) es una proteína central en la biosíntesis del NAD(H)+, molécula esencial en el metabolismo celular, y ha sido estudiada en parásitos protozoos. Para el estudio de la NMNAT de estos parásitos se ha recurrido a la expresión de su versión recombinante en E. coli, obteniéndose gran cantidad de proteína como IB. Con el fin de aumentar la solubilidad de la proteína, se clonó la secuencia codificante de la NMNAT de Plasmodium falciparum en diferentes vectores de expresión, se indujo la expresión de la proteína recombinante en E. coli BL21 (DE3) y se analizó la solubilidad. La proteína fusión con mayor solubilidad fue purificada y evaluada enzimáticamente. La adición de la etiqueta MBP (proteína de unión a maltosa) a la PfNMNAT incrementó su solubilidad y permitió obtener una proteína funcional con una alta pureza.
Abstract Recombinant proteins have become useful tools in biochemistry research. During their production, however, inclusion bodies (IB) appear, on the one hand, due to the high expression rate from the recombinant plasmids, which have high efficiency promoters, and, on the other hand, intrinsic characteristics of the expressed protein. Furhtermore, the nicotinamide/nicotinate mononucleotide adenilyl transferase (NMNAT) is a central protein in NAD(H)+biosynthesis, an essential cofactor in cell metabolism, and in protozoon parasite has been studied. To study the NMNAT protein of these parasites, their recombinant version in E. coli has been expressed, getting a great quantity of IB as a by-product. To increase the solubility of the protein, the coding sequence of the NMNAT enzyme of Plasmodium falciparum was cloned in different expression plasmids which were subsequently transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) expression strain. The solubility of the recombinant proteins was assessed and the one with the highest presence in the soluble fraction was subsequently purified and its enzyme activity was determined. The recombinant protein with a MBP (maltose-binding protein) tag showed an increased solubility and purity.

RESUMO
Para determinar la energía digestible aparente (EDA) de la glicerina cruda (GC) proveniente del aceite de palma (Elaeis guineensis) en cerdos se realizaron dos experimentos (E). En E1 se determinó la EDA para GC con la técnica de la bolsa móvil de nailon (TBMN) utilizando ocho cerdos castrados con cánula duodenal. En E2 se determinaron la EDA y la energía metabolizable aparente (EMA) para GC, por el método convencional con indicador (MCI), con 10 cerdos castrados ubicados en jaulas metabólicas. En E1 y E2 se evaluaron, en un arreglo factorial 2 x 5, dos niveles de almidón de maíz (NA) en la dieta, 10% (NA10) y 12% (NA12), y cinco niveles de sustitución con GC (0%, 2,5%, 5,0%, 7,5% y 10%) en E1 en un diseño completo al azar y en E2 en un diseño de cuadrado latino. Para TBMN y MCI los datos se analizaron mediante regresión lineal múltiple y el metabolismo del nitrógeno en MCI como un diseño de cuadrado latino utilizando los módulos REG y GLM del paquete SAS. Por TBMN no hubo efectos (P > 0,05) del NA sobre la EDA de GC. La EDA de GC se calculó en 3.251 kcal/kg MS. La EDA de GC en MCI dependió de NA (P < 0,001) estimándose en 4.427,3 y 3.769,3 Kcal/kg MS para NA10 y NA12, respectivamente. Hubo interacción (P < 0,001) entre NA y GC para la cantidad de nitrógeno digestible, se redujo cuando GC aumentó en NA12 y aumentó en NA10. Otros parámetros del metabolismo nitrogenado no se vieron afectados (P > 0,05). Los resultados de EDA corregidos por NA con MCI mostraron correlación alta (R2 = 0,82) con TBMN. Con MCI se pudo establecer que el aumento en NA en la dieta reduce la EDA de GC.
To determine the apparent digestible energy (EDA) of crude glycerin (GC) from palm oil (Elaeis guineensis) in pigs two experiments (E) were performed. In E1, EDA was determined to GC, with the technique of mobile nylon bag (TBMN) using eight barrows with duodenal cannula. In E2, EDA, EMA to GC was determined by the conventional method with indicator (MCI) with 10 barrows placed in metabolic cages. In E1 and E2 were evaluated in 2 x 5 factorial arrangement, two levels of corn starch (NA) in the diet, 10 (NA10) and 12% (NA12), and five levels of replacement by GC (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%), in E1 as a completely randomized design and in E2 as a Latin square design. For MCI and TBMN, data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and nitrogen metabolism in MCI as a Latin square design using the GLM and REG modules of SAS. By TBMN there was no effect (P > 0.05) in the NA on the EDA of GC. EDA of GC was calculated at 3251 kcal/kg DM. EDA of GC in the MCI depended NA (P < 0.001), estimated at 4427.3 and 3769.3 Kcal/kg MS for NA10 and NA12, respectively. Interaction (P < 0.001) between NA and GC for the amount of digestible nitrogen was observed, was reduced when GC increased by NA12 and increased by NA10. Other nitrogen metabolism parameters were not affected (P > 0.05). The results of EDA corrected by NA with MCI showed high correlation (R² = 0.82) with TBMN. By MCI was established that increased in NA reduced the EDA of GC.
RESUMO
Este estudio evaluó la inclusión de aceite esencial de orégano (AEO, Lippia origanoides Kunth) en dietas enriquecidas con ácidos grasos poliinsaturados (AGPI) sobre el desempeño productivo de ponedoras, el perfil lipídico y la estabilidad oxidativa de huevos en almacenamiento. Se distribuyeron 144 ponedoras en uno de cuatro tratamientos con seis replicas, con el objetivo de de evaluar el efecto del tipo de aceite usado en la dieta (palma o pescado) y la inclusión de AEO sobre las variables de producción, junto con el extracto etéreo, perfil de lípidos y concentración de malonaldehído (MDA), usando un diseño completamente al azar con arreglo factorial y medidas repetidas en el tiempo por los días de almacenamiento (0, 30 y 60 días a 4°C). Los resultados mostraron que el tipo de aceite y el AEO no afectaron el desempeño productivo de las ponedoras (P > 0,05). La concentración de AGPI se incrementó en 16,8% en dietas con aceite de pescado en las que el DHA (ácido docosahexaenoico) también aumentó en un 1,4% (P < 0,05), incrementando la concentración de MDA (malonaldehído) en el huevo (41,6 ng MDA/g d yema), mientras que la suplementación de AEO con 100 g/ton mejoró la estabilidad oxidativa durante el almacenamiento (31.1 ng MDA/g de yema). Durante el almacenamiento la concentración de MDA en la yema incremento con el tiempo alcanzando los 38 ng MDA/g de yema a los 60 días. El AEO mostró potencial como antioxidante natural en la dieta de las ponedoras mejorando la estabilidad oxidativa de los huevos almacenados a 4°C hasta por 60 días.
This study evaluated the inclusion of oregano essential oil (OEO, Lippia origanoides Kunth) in diets enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on productive performance of laying hens, lipid profile and oxidative stability of eggs during storage. 144 hens were distributed in one of four treatments with six replicates in order to evaluate the effect of the type of oil used in the diet (palm or fish) and the inclusion of OEO on the production variables, along with the ethereal extract, lipid profile and malonaldehyde concentration (MDA), using a completely randomized factorial design with the repeated measures of days of storage (0, 30 and 60 days at 4° C). Results show that the type of oil and the OEO did not affect productive performance of layers (P > 0.05). PUFA concentration increased in 16.8% in diets with fish oil in 16.8%, where the DHA also increased by 1.4% (P < 0.05), increasing the MDA concentration in egg (MDA 41.6 ng/g yolk), while supplementation of OEO at a level of 100 g/ton improved oxidative stability during storage (MDA 31.1 ng/g yolk). During storage the concentration of MDA in the yolk increased with time reaching 38 ng/g yolk at 60 days. The OEO showed potential as a natural antioxidant in the diet of layers hens improving the oxidative stability of eggs stored at 4°C up to 60 days.
RESUMO
This article discusses various aspects of pastoralism in the Latin American countries with the largest dryland areas. The topics covered include: social, economic and institutional issues; grasslands and their carrying capacity; production systems and productivity rates; competition for forage resources between domestic livestock and wildlife; and the health status of livestock and wildlife. Most grasslands exhibit some degree of degradation. The percentage of offspring reaching weaning age is low: 47-66% of calves and 40-80% of lambs. Some pastoralists adopt patterns of transhumance. In the main, pastoralists experience a high poverty rate and have poor access to social services. For many pastoralists, wildlife is a source of food and by-products. Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Peru have animal health control agencies, are members of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and have signed the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. Pastoral systems subsist mainly on income unrelated to pastoral farming. The OIE recognises all four countries as free from infection with peste des petits ruminants virus, and from rinderpest and African horse sickness. It is difficult to predict the future of pastoralism in Latin America because the situation differs from country to country. For instance, pastoralism is more important in Peru than in Argentina, where it is a more marginal activity. In the future, lack of promotion and protection policies could lead to a decline in pastoralism or to an adverse environmental impact on drylands.
Les auteurs abordent les particularités du pastoralisme dans les quatre pays d'Amérique latine dotés des plus vastes étendues de terres arides du souscontinent ; ils examinent notamment les aspects sociaux, économiques et institutionnels du pastoralisme, les pâtures et leur capacité de charge, les systèmes de production et les indices de productivité, la concurrence entre le bétail et les animaux sauvages pour le prélèvement de fourrage et le statut sanitaire respectif des animaux d'élevage et de la faune sauvage. Les prairies dédiées au pastoralisme présentent dans leur majorité un certain degré de dégradation. Le taux de survie au sevrage fluctue entre 47 % et 66 % pour les veaux et entre 40 % et 80 % pour les agneaux. Certains pasteurs adoptent des schémas de transhumance. Les populations pastorales se caractérisent par un niveau élevé de pauvreté et un accès très limité aux services sociaux. Pour de nombreux pasteurs, la faune sauvage constitue une ressource alimentaire directe mais elle fournit aussi des produits dérivés. En Argentine, au Chili, au Mexique et au Pérou, des services gouvernementaux sont chargés du contrôle de la santé animale. Ces pays sont Membres de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé animale (OIE) et signataires de la Convention des Nations Unies sur la lutte contre la désertification. Les systèmes pastoraux subsistent essentiellement grâce à des revenus autres que ceux issus de la production. Ces territoires ont été reconnus par l'OIE comme étant indemnes d'infection par les virus de la peste des petits ruminants, de la peste bovine et de la peste équine. Il est difficile de prédire l'avenir du pastoralisme en Amérique latine, en raison de la diversité des situations rencontrées d'un pays à l'autre. Par exemple, l'activité pastorale est plus importante au Pérou qu'en Argentine où elle a un caractère marginal. L'absence de politiques de promotion et de protection spécifiques pourrait se traduire à l'avenir par un déclin du pastoralisme ou par un impact écologique négatif pour ces zones arides.
Se abordan matices del pastoralismo relativos a los países con mayor extensión de zonas áridas de Latinoamérica, concretamente, los aspectos sociales, económicos e institucionales, los pastizales y su receptividad, los sistemas de producción e índices de productividad, la competencia entre ganado doméstico y fauna silvestre por el recurso forrajero, y el estatus sanitario del ganado y de los animales silvestres. La mayor parte de los pastizales presenta algún grado de deterioro. El porcentaje de crías que llega al destete fluctúa entre el 47% y el 66% en bovinos y entre el 40% y el 80% en ovinos. Algunos pastoralistas adoptan patrones de trashumancia. Los pastores se caracterizan básicamente por un índice alto de pobreza y un escaso acceso a los servicios sociales. La fauna es un recurso alimentario y una fuente de subproductos para numerosos pastores. Argentina, Chile, México y Perú cuentan con organismos destinados al control de la sanidad animal, son miembros de la OIE y han suscrito la Convención de las Naciones Unidas de Lucha contra la Desertificación. Los sistemas pastoriles subsisten principalmente a partir de ingresos ajenos a su producción. La OIE reconoce a estos territorios como libres de infección por peste de los pequeños rumiantes, por peste bovina y por peste equina. Es difícil predecir el futuro del pastoralismo en Latinoamérica debido a las diferentes situaciones de cada país. Así, por ejemplo, en Perú, esta práctica tiene mayor importancia que en Argentina, donde es más marginal. La carencia de políticas de promoción y protección podría conducir en el futuro a una disminución de la actividad o a un impacto ecológico negativo en las zonas áridas.

BACKGROUND: Today, advances in technology provide the best success rates in the reproductive medicine field. One of the biggest concerns about it, is the high risk of achieving multiple pregnancies, which may carry greater health risks for both; the mother and fetuses. Besides that, multiple pregnancies are considered a complication or an adverse effect of assisted reproduction treatments. OBJECTIVES: To compare the factors associated with multiple pregnancy in patients who underwent complex assisted reproduction techniques. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective and transversal case control study was rolled to compare the factors associated with multiple pregnancy rates, these results were correlated using a logistic regression model. RESULTS: a total of 1063 cases were reviewed, we obtained a pregnancy rate of 35.9%, and a multiple pregnancy rate of 31.5%. We found positive statistical association between patient age, total number of oocytes obtained, total embryos transferred, total vitrified embryos per cycle, total serum cuantitative B-GCH level, endometrial thickness in milimeters, and the Honest of a multiple pregnancy. In the logistic regression model, we found statistical association between the number of embryos transferred, number of embryos obtained, embryo quality, total vitrified embryos and the risk for multiple pregnancies. CONCLUSIONS: The total number of embryos transferred in a cycle of a complex assisted reproduction, is the most important factor for the onset of multiple pregnancies. The age of patients, the number of oocytes, total number of embryos obtained, the number of embryos transferred, the quality of embryos transferred and the number of frozen embryos per cycle, correlate significantly with more risk for multiple pregnancies.

Introducción: Al observar la variación de la cobertura vegetal en un territorio, se puede observar su historia escrita sobre ese paisaje. Objetivo: El presente artículo pretende describir la variación de coberturas vegetales en relación con la dinámica de ocupación y poblamiento de la ciudad de Armenia, desde el año 1939 hasta el año 1999. Método: La serie de aerofotografías del municipio de Armenia existentes en el IGAC, desde 1939 hasta 1999, se georreferenciaron, se construyeron los mosaicos para cada uno de los años, se calcularon las áreas a través de una herramienta SIG (Sistema de Información Geográfica) y se determinaron coberturas vegetales y áreas pobladas. Se comparó la variación año a año con la dinámica de ocupación y el poblamiento del territorio. Resultados: El área urbanizada creció de 132,9 ha en 1939, a 1.316,23 ha en 1999. El área en coberturas vegetales creció de 82,52 ha que representaban el 38,32% del área poblada en 1939, hasta 1.048 ha que representaban el 45,35% del perímetro urbano en 1999. Conclusión: El porcentaje de cobertura vegetal aumentó y ahora se considera suelo de protección, lo cual confiere especiales características al paisaje de Armenia, que debe ser protegido y conservado.
Introduction: By observing the variation of the vegetation coverage in an area, it is possible to see its history written on the landscape. Objective: This article aims to describe the variation of vegetation coverage in relation to the dynamics of occupation and settlement of the city of Armenia, from 1939 until 1999. Method: The series of aerial photographs (by Agustin Codazzi Geographical Institute IGAC) of the city of Armenia from 1939 to 1999 were georeferenced and mosaics for each of the years were assembled by calculating the areas through a GIS tool. Vegetation coverage and urban land use were determined. The variation year to year was compared with the dynamics of occupation and settlement of the territory. Results: The urbanized area has increased from 132.9 hectares in 1939 to 1316.23 hectares in 1999. The vegetation coverage area rose from 82,52 hectares which represented 38.32% of the populated area in 1939, to 1,048 hectares, representing 4535% of the city limits in 1999. Conclusion: The percentage of vegetation coverage increased and is now considered protected land which gives special characteristics to the landscape of Armenia that must be protected and conserved.

BACKGROUND: Esophageal stricture due to caustic ingestion is one of the most difficult problems to manage. Esophageal dilations are the usual treatment and they require a great number of sessions in the majority of cases. This implies time, risks for the patient, anguish for the relatives, and very often, frustration for the physician. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of the application of topical mitomycin C and intralesional triamcinolone in the prevention of post-dilation esophageal stricture recurrence. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective, comparative, nonrandomized, and longitudinal study was conducted that compared a cohort of 16 patients treated with mitomycin C (2009-2012) with a retrospective cohort of 34 patients treated with triamcinolone (2002-2009). RESULTS: The patients treated with intralesional triamcinolone had a median of 11 dilations (minimum 4 and maximum 24), whereas the median in the patients treated with topical mitomycin C was 4.5 (minimum 3 and maximum 8). The groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test, finding a statistically significant difference of a two-tailed P<.001. In the multiple linear regression model, the dependent variable was the number of dilations and the independent variables were the type of lesion and treatment. The result was an R(2) .676 with a significance level of P<.001, in which the regression coefficient for treatment was B -.682 (95% CI -8.286 to -5.025) and the lesion grade was B .435 (95% CI 2.043- 4.573). The ANOVA result was an F 49.08 and a P<.001 and showed that the independent variables of type of lesion and treatment had a linear relation with the number of dilations, reinforcing the fact that our results were not due to chance. CONCLUSIONS: Topical mitomycin C considerably reduced the number of esophageal dilations compared with the use of intralesional triamcinolone to alleviate dysphagia, and therefore we suggest it as a treatment option in strictures due to caustic ingestion.

El almidón resistente retrogradado (AR3) de las variedades de papa Pastusa (Solanum tuberosum grupo tuberosum) y Guaneña (Solanum tuberosum grupo phureja) fue evaluado como aditivo funcional con características similares a la fibra dietaria y por su potencial prebiótico en pollos de engorde. Se asignaron aleatoriamente 792 pollos machos Ross de un día de edad a uno de cinco tratamientos experimentales bajo un diseño completamente al azar. Se evaluaron niveles de suplementación de 1,0% de AR3 -Pastusa (AR3P) y Guaneña (AR3G)-, frente a manano-oligosacáridos (MOS, 0,5%), carboximetilcelulosa (CMC, 1%), levadura comercial (LEV, 0,5%) y un control sin suplementar. Los datos se analizaron mediante el procedimiento GLM del programa SAS®. MOS y AR3P mostraron el mayor peso y ganancia de peso corporal al día 42 de edad (P<0,05), MOS presentó el menor consumo de alimento frente al tratamiento CMC (P<0,05), con una mejor conversión alimenticia comparado con CMC y el control sin suplementar (P<0,05). Los grupos AR3P y AR3G tuvieron un comportamiento intermedio para la conversión de alimento. El mayor porcentaje de eficiencia americana e índice de productividad fue para MOS, seguido de AR3P frente al control sin suplementar (P<0,05). Con referencia al ingreso neto parcial por pollo fraccionado, MOS mostró el mayor ingreso comparado con AR3G, observando para los demás tratamientos un comportamiento intermedio (P<0,05). Los resultados sugieren que el AR3P tiene potencial para ser usado como un aditivo funcional en dietas para pollos de engorde durante un ciclo comercial de producción.
The retrograded resistant starch (RS3) of potato varieties: Pastusa (Solanum tuberosum tuberosum group) and Guaneña (Solanum tuberosum phureja group) was evaluated as an additive in the diet of broilers for its functional characteristics similar to dietary fiber and as a potential prebiotic. A total of 792 one-day-old Ross male broilers were randomly allotted to one of the five treatment groups: Pastusa (AR3P, 1%), Guaneña (AR3G, 1%), mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS, 0.5%), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC, 1%), commercial yeast, 0.5%, and control without supplementation. Data were analyzed under a completely randomized design using the GLM procedure of SAS. MOS and AR3P showed the greatest body weight and body weight gain at day 42 of age (P < 0.05). MOS had the lowest feed intake compared with CMC (P < 0.05) and feed conversion compared to CMC and control group without supplementation (P < 0.05). AR3P and AR3G showed an intermediate performance for feed conversion. The highest percentage of American efficiency and productivity index were for MOS and AR3P when compared to the control group (P < 0.05). MOS showed the highest partial net income when compared to AR3G. The results suggest that the AR3P shows a potential as a functional additive for broilers during a commercial production cycle.
RESUMO
Este estudio fue desarrollado con la finalidad de formular una ecuación de predicción de % de masa adiposa en valores antropométricos, a partir, de los valores predeterminados a través del instrumento de bioimpedancia TANITA. Esto basado en la premisa de que cada día ha aumentado la importancia sobre la estimación de la masa adiposa a nivel clínico, por lo cual se evaluó una población de 28 sujetos cuyo rango de edad fluctúa entre los 20-28 años, pertenecientes a la Escuela de Caballería Blindada de la ciudad de Quillota. Se realizaron las mediciones pertinentes para la estimación de masa adiposa a través de la bioimpedancia y la antropometría, cuyos resultados arrojaron diferencias significativas entre ambos métodos, obteniendo un coeficiente de correlación de Pearson de 0,34.

Several studies have showed the antibacterial activity of oregano essential oils (OEO) chemotypes, carvarol and thymol against Gram positive and Gram negative pathogenic bacteria, but lack information on OEO antibacterial activity against beneficial bacteria. The object of this study was to compare the composition and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Origanum gender chemotypes: O. vulgare L. ssp. hirtum (OH), O. majorana (OM) y O. vulgare L. (OL) harvested in Colombia, against Lippia origanoides Kunth (LO) from Alto Patía in Colombia, and O. vulgare L. ssp. hirtum (OG) from Greece. The OEO composition was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometer and its antibacterial activity by broth dilution and agar culture method. Three chemotypes were evaluated, OH and OG were carvacrol-type, LO and OL were thymol-tipe and OM was rich in sabinyl compound. The highest precursors content was showed to OEO from oregano varieties produced under greenhouse conditions at high altitude. The same bactericidal activity against Salmonella enteritidis (0.098 mg/mL) for OH and LO was founded. The lowest bactericidal activity against beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium breve was observed for OM (6.25 mg/mL) and LO (50 mg/mL), respectively. These results showed that LO native to Colombia had a comparable effect to OH and carvacrol against pathogenic enterobacteria and the lowest bactericidal activity against beneficial bacteria. These results showed a selective bactericidal effect against pathogenic beneficial bacteria of Origanum ssp. and L. origanoides chemotypes. A good potential to use L. origanoides as antimicrobial additive for animal and human health was found.
Diversos estudios demuestran la actividad antibacterial de distintos quimiotipos de aceites esenciales de orégano (OEO), carvacrol y timol, contra bacterias patógenas Gram positivas y Gram negativas, pero muy poca información está disponible sobre el efecto de los OEO en bacterias benéficas. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la composición y concentración mínima bactericida (CMB) de OEO de quimiotipos del género Origanum: O. vulgare L. ssp. hirtum (OH), O. majorana (OM) y O. vulgare L. (OL) cultivados en Colombia, frente Lippia origanoides Kunth (LO) nativo del Alto Patía en Colombia y O. vulgare L. ssp. hirtum cultivado en Grecia (OG). Los OEO se obtuvieron por arrastre de vapor, la composición se determinó por cromatografía de gases acoplada a espectrometría de masas y la actividad antibacteriana mediante el método de dilución en caldo y cultivo en agar. Se evaluaron tres quimiotipos de OEO: OH y OG tipo-carvacrol, LO y OL tipo-timol y OM rico en compuestos sabinilo. Las variedades de orégano producidas bajo condiciones de invernadero a alta altitud mostraron un alto contenido de precursores. Un valor similar de concentración mínima bactericida contra Salmonella enteritidis (0.098 mg/mL) fue observada para carvacrol, OH y LO. La más baja actividad bactericida contra las bacterias benéficas Lactobacillus acidophilus y Bifidobacterium breve fue observada para OM (6.25 mg/mL) y LO (50 mg/mL), respectivamente. Estos resultados mostraron que LO, nativo de Colombia presentó un efecto antibacteriano comparable a OH y carvacrol contra enterobacterias patógenas y una baja actividad bactericida contra las bacterias benéficas. Estos resultados mostraron un efecto bactericida selectivo contra bacterias benéficas y patógenas de los quimiotipos Origanum ssp. y L. origanoides. Se comprobó un buen potencial de L. origanoides para uso como aditivo antimicrobiano para la salud humana y animal.
RESUMO
Las alteraciones posturales tales como hiperlordosis, aumento de la cifosis, cifolordosis y escoliosis en columna, producen complicaciones a nivel músculo-esquelético y articular. Debido a esto, es que en el último tiempo ha aumentado el número de atenciones kinésicas por patologías de la columna lumbar, he aquí la importancia de un test clínico que cuente con la confiabilidad necesaria para determinar la curvatura lumbar. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar si existen diferencias en los resultados entre los dos métodos utilizados para medir la curva lumbar: el test clínico de las flechas sagitales y el ángulo de la columna lumbar mediante radiografías. En una muestra de 32 pacientes de edad promedio 44,93 (+/- 12,67 años) evaluados en el Servicio de Kinesiología del Centro Médico Megasalud de Viña del Mar entre los meses de Marzo y Agosto del 2008. El procedimiento utilizado fue el examen clínico, en el cual se usó una plomada que va desde C7, pasando por la línea ínterglútea. En el plano sagital se mide la curvatura lumbar a nivel de L3. Para la medición del ángulo de la curvatura lumbar se utilizó una radiografía proyección lateral en la cual se proyectan las mesetas superior de L1 e inferior de L5 para la conformación del ángulo lumbar y su posterior medición. El resultado obtenido por medio del examen clínico entre el test de las flechas sagitales y las radiografías del ángulo de la lordosis lumbar para un índice de concordancia de Kappa, fue mayor o igual a un 95 por ciento. De esta manera, se obtuvo que el test de las flechas sagitales es una herramienta válida para la pesquisa de patologías lumbares, al igual que la radiografía, con una marcada diferencia en el costo económico entre ambas.
The altered posture, such as hiperlordosis, increase in kyphosis, and scoliosis in cifolordosis column complications occur at the muscular, skeletal and articulate. Because of this, is that in recent times to increase the number of benefits for kinesics pathologies of the lumbar spine, and here the importance of a clinical test that has the confidence necessary to determine lumbar curvature. The objective of the study seeks to determine whether there are differences in outcomes between the two methods used to measure the lumbar curve, the test of the arrows sagitales and the angle of the lumbar spine using x-rays in patients greater than or equal to 21 years, as assessed the service kinesiology of Centro Médico Megasalud of Viña del Mar, between the months of March and August 2008. The procedure used was by means of physical examination, which uses a plumb line that runs from C7 through inter gluteal line in the sagittal plane was measured at the lumbar curvature of L3 and compared with the measurement of the angle curvature of the lumbar measured by radiographic position in bipedal in a side view in 32 adults, measures of kinesiology at the service of the Medical Center Megasalud of Viña del Mar, Chile. The result obtained by means of physical examination between the test of the arrows sagitales versus the angle of the lumbar lordosis measured by X-rays, reached a record of correlation between the two diagnostic tests greater than or equal to 95 percent. In conclusion we can say that the test of the arrows sagitales is a valid tool for the investigation of lumbar pathologies, like radiography, with a marked difference in cost between the two.
