We evaluated the outcome of anti-leukemia chemotherapy on 42 patients with the high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)—refractory anemia with excess of blasts (RAEB), 8 cases; RAEB in transformation (RAEB-T), 18 cases; chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMMOL), 6 cases; and leukemic transformation of MDS, 10 cases. The median age was 67 (range 20 to 84). As a remission-induction therapy, 35 patients received low-dose chemotherapy, such as low-dose cytarabine infusion, and seven patients received high-dose combination chemotherapy. The complete remission (CR) rates of the low-dose chemotherapy group and the high-dose combination chemotherapy group were 29% and 57%, respectively, and the overall CR rate was 33%. The median survival durations after induction chemotherapy of the CR group (14 cases), the partial remission (PR) group (11 cases), and the non-remission (NR) group (17 cases) were 19 months, 8 months, and 3 months, respectively. As a post-remission consolidation chemotherapy, high-dose combination chemotherapy seemed to be superior to low-dose chemotherapy judging from the median CR duration (16 months versus 4 months), but a long-term disease-free survival is hardly expected, in contrast with results in cases of de novo acute myeloid leukemia.

Purpose. To evaluate the clinical activity of a sequential treatment with Adriamycin followed by CMF (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, fluorouracil) and the relative therapeutic contribution of the two drug regimens given at full conventional doses in metastatic breast cancer.

Patients and Methods. From August 1990 to February 1993, 44 patients with advanced breast cancer previously untreated with chemotherapy entered the study. Treatment consisted of the intravenous administration of Adriamycin (75 mg/m2 on day 1 every three weeks) for four cycles followed by intravenous CMF (cyclophosphamide, 600 mg/m2; methotrexate, 40 mg/m2; fluorouracil 600 mg/m2) on days 1 and 8 every four weeks for four total courses.

Results. In 41 evaluable patients, four cycles of full-dose Adriamycin were able to achieve an overall response rate of 75%, including 17% complete remissions. Four cycles of CMF administered after Adriamycin were able to increase tumor response in 64% of evaluable cases. At the end of the sequential treatment program, 78% of 41 patients achieved an objective remission and in 30% of them a clinical complete response was documented. Main side effects, i.e., leukopenia and gastrointestinal disturbances, were moderate and short-lasting. One patient died because of acute myocardial infarction.

Conclusion. In untreated metastatic breast cancer patients, the sequential administration of Adriamycin and CMF is highly effective at the expense of a moderate toxicity profile that allows high-dose intensity of both drug regimens. CMF treatment after upfront Adriamycin is able to exert a further therapeutic advantage.

Published: February 2020

The present study was conducted to assess the optimum treatment for nausea and vomiting in patients with far advanced cancer. More specifically, we studied patients with cancers that were too far advanced to benefit from chemotherapy or radiotherapy and whose nausea and vomiting were not due to drug intake, cranial, electrolytic, or metabolic causes. One hundred twenty patients who were under antiemetic medication with metoclopramide (MET) and suddenly presented with uncontrolled nausea and vomiting were randomized to three different therapeutic regimens: MET plus dexamethasone (DEX), MET plus tropisetron (TRO), and MET plus TRO plus DEX. Patient diary cards were used to assess nausea and vomiting. By the end of day 15, total control of vomiting was achieved in 24% of MET plus DEX patients, in 84% of MET plus TRO patients, and in 92% of MET plus TRO plus DEX patients. Total control of nausea was achieved in 18% of MET plus DEX patients, in 74% of MET plus TRO patients, and in 87% of MET plus TRO plus DEX patients. All antiemetic treatments were similarly well tolerated. TRO in combination with either MET or MET and DEX produced the best control of both nausea and vomiting.
Adjuvant Drug Treatment for Resectable Breast Cancer
Authors: Hudis Clifford A. , Norton Larry
Published: February 2020

Breast cancer is the most common life-threatening malignancy in Western women and the second most common cause of cancer-related death. A paradox in the care of patients with breast cancer is the observation that the majority appear to be curable at the time of initial surgery, yet a large number later experience relapse followed by death from disease. To combat this problem, systemic drug therapy in conjunction with surgery and radiation therapy is now standard for many patient subgroups. Standard medical treatment options include up to five years of tamoxifen for receptor positive amenorrheic patients, approximately six months of combination chemotherapy for younger patients and those who are receptor negative, and both in some patient subgroups. These interventions have a profound public health impact even though the majority of patients destined to recur do so even following “optimal” treatment. Further improvements are hoped for as a result of ongoing research involving the use of high-dose chemotherapy, dose-dense chemotherapy, and newer agents. Clinical trials testing these approaches offer the best chance to continue our progress and help to better define appropriate and standard treatment strategies for the future.
Outpatient Management of Febrile Neutropenia: Should We Change the Standard of Care?
Authors: Talcott James A.
Published: February 2020

The syndrome of fever and neutropenia is an iatrogenic complication of cytotoxic therapy for cancer. Because febrile neutropenia is associated with serious infection, patients with the syndrome are treated emergently with broad-spectrum, high-dose antibiotics. Recently, a differentiated approach to febrile neutropenia has been explored, based on assessment of risk. Prediction rules to identify low-risk patients were developed, and outpatient management of low-risk patients has been explored. Based on pilot studies and early randomized trials, some have called for a new standard of outpatient care. This article describes the scientific rationale for the current standard of care for febrile neutropenia; reviews the risk assessment studies; discusses the issues of safety, quality of life, and shifting of economic burdens arising when outpatient care is substituted for inpatient care—a change in practice patterns sweeping through acute care medicine with little scrutiny; and critically reviews the published trials of outpatient treatment of febrile neutropenia.

Although there have been important advances in the management of women with cervical cancer, the optimal treatment for patients with locally recurrent and metastatic disease is still problematic, and there are relatively few randomized trials to guide treatment decisions. This paper reviews the approach to management of patients who relapse after primary treatment for cervical cancer. Patients who are still potentially curable with radical treatment are identified, and the various treatment strategies are discussed. However, most women are treated with palliative intent, and the literature on palliative management is reviewed together with the levels of evidence.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, the reader will be able to:

List the recommendations in current clinical practice guidelines on epoetin alfa dosing and administration regimens for patients with cancer and chemotherapy-related anemia. Discuss the benefits associated with epoetin alfa therapy in cancer patients with anemia receiving chemotherapy, in terms of increased hemoglobin levels, lower transfusion needs, and improved quality of life. Explain how higher initial doses of once-weekly epoetin alfa followed by less frequent maintenance dosing with epoetin alfa in anemic cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy may be beneficial, both to the patient and to the health care provider.

Purpose. Epoetin alfa administered s.c. three times weekly or once weekly increases hemoglobin (Hb) levels, decreases transfusion requirements, and improves quality of life in anemic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. This study assessed the feasibility of using higher initial doses of once-weekly epoetin alfa followed by less frequent maintenance doses to increase and then maintain adequate Hb levels in this population.

Materials and Methods. In this open-label, nonrandomized, pilot study, anemic (baseline Hb ≤11 g/dl) cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy received initial doses of epoetin alfa of 60,000 U s.c. once weekly to increase Hb levels by at least 2 g/dl, followed by 120,000 U s.c. every 3 weeks to maintain Hb levels. The maximum treatment duration was 24 weeks.

Results. The mean baseline Hb level was 10.1 ± 0.8 g/dl (n = 20). Once-weekly dosing resulted in mean Hb level increases of 1.0 ± 1.1 g/dl by week 4 and 2.9 ± 1.9 g/dl by week 8; 86% and 79% of patients evaluable at week 8 and week 12, respectively, demonstrated increases of at least 2 g/dl (target Hb level of ≥12 g/dl). Thirteen patients (65%) received at least one maintenance dose; the mean Hb level increased from 12.8 ± 1.1 g/dl before starting maintenance therapy to 13.3 ± 1.4 g/dl at the last maintenance week. Both dosage regimens were well tolerated.

Conclusions. Once-weekly epoetin alfa at a dose of 60,000 U effectively increased Hb levels by week 8; 86% of patients achieved rises of at least 2 g/dl or Hb levels ≥12 g/dl. Moreover, epoetin alfa at doses of 120,000 U every 3 weeks maintained or increased Hb levels. Results from this pilot study suggest that higher initial once-weekly dosing of epoetin alfa followed by less frequent maintenance dosing appears to be feasible for treating anemia in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Further evaluation of these and other epoetin alfa dosage regimens is warranted.
Monotherapy of Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Review of Newer Agents
Authors: Vogel Charles L. , Nabholtz Jean-Marc
Published: February 2020

Purpose. New agents for the palliative treatment of metastatic breast cancer have emerged in the 1990s. This review summarizes the response rates of these agents with an emphasis on recent findings, such as presentations from the 1998 Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Methods. The English medical literature was reviewed to identify clinical trials involving monotherapy for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Three agents—paclitaxel, vinorelbine, and docetaxel—are emphasized because their databases are extensive enough to allow interesting comparisons. Liposomal-encapsulated anthracyclines, losoxantrone, gemcitabine, oral surrogates of continuous-infusion fluorouracil, raltitrexed, LY 231514, edatrexate, topoisomerase I inhibitors, and trastuzumab are reviewed briefly.

Results. Many of the new agents produce response rates approaching or even surpassing those achievable with doxorubicin monotherapy. Compared with older agents, some new agents have improved or at least different safety profiles, and some are easier to administer.

Discussion and conclusions. The new agents offer useful therapeutic options that make them suitable for combining with each other and with older agents, which could result in more effective regimens for metastatic disease, and, ultimately, primary disease in the adjuvant setting. The chemotherapeutic paradigms governing the management of breast cancer for the past three decades are likely to change as we move into the 21st century.
Lymphocytes

Published: February 2020

Mechanisms in Hematology is a book with an accompanying interactive CD-ROM designed to assemble basic concepts that underlie clinical understanding and progress. It is presented as a concise text with a series of diagrams that distill diffuse information into a compact form. The interactive CD, in particular, brings many of the processes “to life” as details of the more complex pathways are conveyed in clear visual images. The text begins with the basic molecular biology that underlies hematological and oncological physiology/pathology––cell signaling, adhesion molecules and apoptosis. This is followed by sections, among others, on hematopoiesis, iron, B12 and folate metabolism, neutrophil function, immunoproteins, chemotherapy and coagulation. With the permission of the authors and publisher, The Oncologist has reproduced the section on lymphocytes, which we think our readers will enjoy.
Total-Body Irradiation in the Conditioning Regimens for Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Lymphoproliferative Diseases
Authors: Aristei Cynthia , Tabilio Antonio
Published: February 2020

We review the rationale for, and the results of, clinical trials on chemoradiotherapy-based pretransplant regimens for non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, Hodgkin's disease and multiple myeloma. What clearly emerges from this review is the lack of any conclusive evidence that total-body irradiation (TBI)-containing regimens are better than chemotherapy alone in diseases which are considered to be radiosensitive. Due to the variety of pretransplant regimens adopted, the relatively low number of patients enrolled in each trial, and the lack of randomized studies, no one conditioning scheme, with or without TBI, could be identified as superior to another. Only randomized clinical studies will indicate whether TBI-containing regimens are superior to chemotherapy-only regimens and whether TBI and/or involved field radiation therapy have a place in autologous stem cell transplantation programs for lymphoproliferative disorders. And finally, the best TBI dose, schedule, and technique should be defined.
The Randomized Trials of Dose-Intensive Therapy for Breast Cancer: What Do They Mean for Patient Care and Where Do We Go From Here?
Authors: Weiss Raymond B.
Published: February 2020

At the May 1999 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), results of some of the randomized trials conducted in the 1990s assessing the value of high-dose (dose-intensive) therapy for breast cancer were presented. The number of women treated with such therapy has grown almost exponentially since the early 1990s so that breast cancer is now the most common malignancy treated with stem cell transplant. At the same time the cost of such treatment (from $60,000 upwards to $150,000) has caused it to become the most controversial issue in all of medical oncology during this past decade. Does such therapy truly provide a benefit to women with breast cancer, and is it therefore a therapy that should be routinely offered to suitable patients? This article will attempt to put this issue in some perspective with emphasis on the recently reported randomized studies of this treatment for both early-stage and metastatic disease. In addition, some comments will be made regarding where research regarding this topic will likely be focused in the next few years.

Neurodiversity as a teaching tool for educational inclusion.
Authors: Amezcua Aguilar Patricia , Flores Melero Carmen , Marín Perabá Cristina
Published: February 2020

Great teachers are characterized by the fact that they never stop learning, that is why terms such as the term "pluri-disability" must be in the vocabulary of any of the teachers in our country’s classrooms, the meaning of it, the characteristics it encompasses and those it does not, in order to include this type of student satisfactorily in the socio-academic field. In addition, teacher learning must be based on the inclusion of students, which is why sign language training is required for the complete well-being of students.Different studies in neuroscience show that there are no two equal brains, that is, each person presents a unique way of perceiving and analyzing information that contributes to how learning occurs. This has given way to the development of the paradigm called Universal Design for Learning, which makes it possible to create a curriculum accessible to all, favouring inclusion and equal opportunities.

This project aims to show a broader vision of educational inclusion nowadays. Through different authors and perspectives, the historic evolution of inclusive education is known, from integration to inclusion. In addition, a bibliographic review has been carried out to publicize the different inclusion strategies that can be implemented in the educational field, by the educational community of schools. These strategies can be of different types: strategies of organization and effective management of the classroom (reduction of the ratio, promotion of positive personal relationship, establishment of routines, etc.), teaching strategies and learning assessment (formative os continuous evaluation, motivational strategies, etc.), grouing strategies (according to different sises and criterions) and adaptation of activities and materials’ strategies (adaptation of materials, analysis and breakdown of tasks in simpler sequences, etc.).
Therapies with animals in neurodiversity.
Authors: Navas Morales Rosa
Published: February 2020

Since the beginning of our history, the dog (Canis familiaris) has been our most faithful companion being this the first species domesticated by man. As a result of an interaction process for thousands of years. Dogs, during this process, have acquired different skills, including communication skills, which have facilitated relationships with humans.Answering our initial question, why observe a dog makes us so happy? It is oxytocin, it is a hormone that has developed in different aspects of the human-dog bond, after several investigations and long processes. It was discovered that the hormone only develops and appears when we maintain a bond with an animal.Finally, I ask: If the look of a dog produces such happiness regardless of the diverse capacities of a human being, what are they capable of producing or stimulating in a person with neurodiversity? ¿Do we really know animal therapies (TAA)?
Jurisprudence in the Era of Change: Subject and Structure of the Discipline
Authors: Vedeneev Yu. A.
Published: February 2020

The law exists in the form of institutions and in the form of representations of institutions, since the representation of something (phenomenon) has a conceptual dimension in the representation of something (concept). Representations of law and representations of law are two aspects of the expression and manifestation of the general legal reality. This, in fact, leads to a fundamental dilemma in determining the subject of legal science. This is the science of law or the science of legal science. Given that the concept of law is a theory of law developed into a system of definitions, the practical language of law finds itself in the theoretical language of jurisprudence, and vice versa. The languages in which the law operates, and the languages in which the phenomenon of law is interpreted, constitute the general object and subject of jurisprudence.

Jurisprudence is a conceptual part of legal reality, both an object and a subject of legal science. The evolution of jurisprudence in the cultural-historical logic of changes in its subject and methods is the basis for changes in its disciplinary structure and connections in the general system of social and political sciences. Each cultural and historical epoch of the existence of law corresponds to its own grammar of law and its own epistemology of law, that is, its own analytical language and disciplinary format of legal knowledge. The law exists in the definitions of its concept. The concept of law has both an ontological and epistemological status. One thinks of law because it exists, and one understands the law because it is defined. Each tradition of understanding the law can be conceptually seen in the phenomenon of law that other traditions of legal understanding do not see or do not notice. The history of the development of the concept of law (conceptualization of law) contains the history of the development of legal institutions (institutionalization of law). Both components of legal reality — objective and subjective grounds and conditions for the emergence and development of the phenomenon of law live in the framework definitions of their social culture, its language and discourse. That is, they live in historical forms of awareness and understanding of one’s own law — from the law indicated in rituals, myths, signs and symbols, to the law indicated in canonical texts, doctrines and concepts; from the law of disciplinary society to the law of network communities; from the law of political domination and bureaucratic management to the law of civil communications and network agreements.

Through preliminary studies in the Donomulyo District Children's Care Forum it was found that the problem of partners was that migrant workers’ children tended to behave negatively, including leaving without saying goodbye, neglecting to study and worship because of playing, skipping school, and lacking respect for parents. With this tendency, it is assumed that children of migrant workers need to be helped to develop positive behavior. For this reason, education efforts to develop good and right behavior, realistic behavior and responsible behavior for migrant workers' children are needed. Material activities include (1) self-understanding (2) the nature of behavior 3R (2) preparation of self-plans. The training is packaged in group guidance with the PIJAR method namely Self-Understanding, Identification of needs and expectations, Explain and evaluate current behavior, Navigate plans and solutions and Realize plans.Keywords— child migrant worker, child care forum, 3R behavior, PIJAR Method

Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk membantu pendampingan dalam menerapkan Senam Ceria Khusus (SCK) untuk meningkatkan kesehatan jasmani dan kemampuan motorik pada siswa tunagrahita dengan level ringan di Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB) Tamima Mumtaz. Hal ini dikarenakan anak-anak Tunagrahita di SLB tersebut hanya melakukan aktifitas didalam ruangan dan belum ada kegiatan yang mendukung kesehatan jasmani dan perkembangan motoriknya melalui gerakan senam.  Senam ini diiringi dengan musik yang ceria dan menyenangkan untuk lebih menarik minat siswa dalam mengikuti gerakan senam tersebut. Senam ini terdiri dari gerakan pemanasan, gerakan inti, dan gerakan pendinginan. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah pendekatan secara personal mulai perkenalan personal, melakukan aktivitas diluar ruang kelas, menciptakan SCK, dan mengajak siswa untuk memperagakan. Dalam pelaksanaannya, SCK di SLB Tamima Mumtaz siswa sangat antusias mengikuti gerakan SCK. Sedangkan kendala yang dihadapi adalah 1) siswa sulit dikontrol saat melakukan senam, 2) satu siswa harus didampingi oleh satu pendamping untuk membetulkan gerakannya, dan 3) singkatnya waktu pelaksanaan membuat siswa sulit mengulang gerakan. Kata kunci— SLB Tamima Mumtaz, Senam Ceria Khusus, Tunagrahita Ringan.AbstractThis service aims to assist assistance in implementing Special Cheerful Gymnastics (SCK) to improve physical health and motor skills in mentally disabled students with mild levels in Tamima Mumtaz Extraordinary Schools (SLB). This is because Tunagrahita children in SLB only do indoor activities and there are no activities that support physical health and motor development through gymnastic movements. This gymnastics is accompanied by cheerful and fun music to further attract students' interest in following the gymnastic movements. This exercise consists of heating movements, core movements, and cooling movements. The method used in this community service is a personal approach from personal introductions, conducting activities outside the classroom, creating SCK, and inviting students to demonstrate. In its implementation, the SCK at Tamima Mumtaz SLB students were very enthusiastic about participating in the SCK movement. While the obstacles faced are 1) students are difficult to control when doing gymnastics, 2) one student must be accompanied by one companion to correct their movements, and 3) the short time of implementation makes it difficult for students to repeat the movements.Keywords— SLB Tamima Mumtaz, Special Cheerful Gymnastics, Light Developmental Disabilities
Income and Poverty in Households in Selected European Countries
Authors: Ćwiek Malgorzata Teresa , Ulman Paweł
Published: February 2020

Incomes of population and poverty are key elements of the EU cohesion policy which aims at reducing disparities between the levels of development of individual regions. The traditionally appropriate study to evaluate the convergence of the Member States is the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU‑SILC). However, this is not the only source of information on income distribution and social inclusion in the European Union. In this article, the basis for calculations are the results of the fourth European Quality of Life Surveys (EQLS), whose purpose is to measure both objective and subjective indicators of the standard of living of citizens and their households.

The aim of the paper is to assess the diversity of distributions of household incomes and the level of income poverty due to the selected socio‑demographic characteristics of the respondent or household in selected European countries in two periods: 2007 and 2016. Countries of the Visegrad Group (Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary) were selected for the analysis, along with the Weimar Triangle (Poland, Germany, and France). Such a selection allowed us to compare the financial situation of households in Western Europe with those in Central and Eastern Europe. Poland becomes a natural link between all these countries.

The article uses modelling methods of income distribution, indicators of distance (overlapping) of distributions and aggregate indicators of the scope, depth and severity of poverty. Those ratios were determined on the basis of the use of relative. In order to ensure comparability of incomes of households with different demographic compositions, the analysis used equivalent incomes.

As a result of the preliminary analysis, differences were noted regarding the measured position, variation and asymmetry of equivalent incomes in the studied households. The applied gap measurements showed a significant disparity between the distributions of income in Western European countries (Germany, France) and the countries of the Visegrad Group, but the size of that differentation de creased significantly in 2016 relative to 2007. Important differentiation was also noted in terms of income poverty risk within the Visegrad Group: the highest proportion of households at risk of poverty exists in Poland and the lowest in the Czech Republic.
Ecuaciones de niveles de humedad relacionada a la densidad básica de la madera de especies forestales tropicales en Madre de Dios, Perú
Authors: Rosales-Solórzano Emer-Ronald
Published: February 2020

La escasa información en estudios físicos de la madera hicieron realizar ensayos en 10 especies forestales representativas para determinar ecuaciones matemáticas, además se seleccionaron otras 95 especies donde se aplicaron, probaron y validaron los modelos para el contenido de humedad equilibrio (CHE), contenido de humedad libre (CHL), punto de saturación de las fibras (PSF) y contenido de humedad máxima (CHM) de la madera, usando el método de medición instantánea previa saturación en agua caliente a 100 °C por 24 horas y secado en estufa. La densidad básica (DB) varió de 0,27 a 0,92 g/cm3, rango donde se ubica el CHM medido que cambió de 49 a 302 %, mientras que el ajustado tuvo un comportamiento exponencial igual a    CHM = 597,96e-2,843DB que varió de 44 a 281 %. El CHL estimado cambió de 31 a 234 % y el ajustado presentó un comportamiento exponencial igual a CHL = 583,84e-3,263DB que cambió de 29 a 245 %. El PSF estimado promedio fue 27 % variando de 18 a 68 % y el ajustado exhibió un comportamiento potencial igual a PSF = 14,678DB-0,83 que varió de 16 a 44 %. El CHE medido promedio fue 12,63 % variando de 9 a 16 % y el ajustado tuvo un comportamiento logarítmico igual a CHE = - 4,141ln (DB) + 9,8939 que cambió de 10 a 15 %. Los modelos generados predijeron los niveles de humedad con un coeficiente de correlación (r) muy alta en CHM y CHL igual a r = 0,991, alta en el PSF de r = 0,828 y CHE con r = 0,851.

Incremento del módulo dinámico por efecto del densificado en ocho maderas mexicanas
Authors: Sotomayor-Castellanos Javier Ramón , Adachi Koji , Iida Ryuichi , Hayashi Tomoyuki Hayashi
Published: February 2020

El objetivo de la investigación fue informar sobre los efectos del densificado por compresión mecánica en maderas de Cedrela odorata, Cupressus lindleyi, Swietenia macrophylla, Dalbergia paloescrito, Tabebuia donnell-smithii, Fraxinus uhdei, Fagus mexicana y Guazuma ulmifolia. Las variables de respuesta fueron la densidad y el módulo dinámico, que fue determinado con vibraciones transversales. Ambos parámetros se midieron antes y después del tratamiento. El coeficiente de densificado fue, en promedio, de 30 % y similar entre especies. Tanto las densidades como los módulos dinámicos aumentaron como efecto del densificado. Esta ganancia tecnológica es particular a cada especie. Si bien los resultados están restringidos a las especies densificadas en esta investigación, sugieren una mejora en estas características físico-mecánicas que son importantes para el diseño y cálculo de productos y estructuras de madera. Para mejorar el tratamiento se recomiendan estudios sobre los cambios en la anatomía de la madera y en sus propiedades físicas.

Brucellosis is a disease with implications in the public health due both to its zoonotic character as its easy transmission trough of dairy products contaminated with the microorganism Brucella sp.  The aim of this article was determinate the prevalence of bovine brucellosis in nine municipalities that carrying the 75% of bovine population in the Caquetá state, Colombia. Blood samples were collected in 100 herds dedicates to dual-purpose cattle, obtained blood serum from 1000 animals, of which 882 corresponding to cows. Rose Bengal Plate Test was performed and the confirmations of positive cases were made by competitive Elisa. The sero-prevalence of bovine brucellosis in Caquetá state was of 3.23% (95%, CI: 0-6.53%), in males 2.6% and females 3.29% respectively. At the municipal level, the sero-prevalence varied of 0 to 6.06%. The prevalence of brucellosis at herd level was of 22% (95%, CI: 12.24-31.76%). In conclusion, the sero-prevalence is low in bovines but moderate at the level of herds, therefore, it is necessary to increase the performance of the official control entities at the level of herds to reduce the high prevalence of the disease for guaranteed the safety of milk and thus the health of consumers.
