Políticas Públicas e a saúde da população LGBT: uma revisão integrativa
Authors: Alves de Jesus Prado Elizabeth , De Sousa Maria Fatima
Published: November 2017

O presente artigo trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura que buscou compreender o que tem sido produzido na literatura científica após a publicação da Política Nacional de Saúde Integral LGBT, compreendendo o período de 2011 a 2016. A busca foi realizada na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde – BVS utilizando os filtros “Brasil”, “Artigo” e “Ano”. Após aplicar os critérios de inclusão e excluídos os duplicados, foram selecionados sete artigos, dos quais emergiram dois temas de análise macro: Desafios da atualidade: direitos da população LGBT e a luta por uma política sexual não discriminatória e o Papel do Estado na atenção à população LGBT. O protagonismo e o papel do movimento social LGBT na luta por garantia dos direitos dessa população é imperativo nas discussões. As discriminações e violências a que estes indivíduos são expostos diariamente, inclusive nas instituições de cuidado em saúde, revelam a necessidade de mudanças nas práticas do cuidado em saúde, que sejam voltados para um atendimento ético e isento de discriminações. Por fim, aponta o protagonismo do Estado em assegurar os direitos d população LGBT e maneira não discriminatória ou reducionista, revelando uma política sexual que considere as diversas expressividades da sexualidade humana, não por homo ou hetero ou, por mulher ou homem, mas sim, pelo ser humano que ali se expressa e tem como direito escolher ser o que quiser.

Avaliação do impacto psicossocial do diagnóstico e tratamento do câncer na vida de familiares cuidadores de pacientes em regime de internação hospitalar
Authors: Oliveira Tatiane Ribeiro , Souza Juciléia Rezende
Published: November 2017

O diagnóstico de câncer representa um desafio para pacientes, familiares, cuidadores e profissionais de saúde. Nesse contexto é importante voltar o olhar para o familiar cuidador e identificar como ele é afetado pelas suas responsabilidades com o paciente com câncer, para que sejam desenvolvidas alternativas e intervenções adequadas para favorecer sua qualidade de vida e seu bem estar emocional. Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa exploratória, utilizando método quantitativo, desenvolvida com a finalidade de avaliar o impacto do processo de cuidar de um parente com câncer durante o período de internação hospitalar. A coleta de dados ocorreu ao longo de quatro meses no Hospital Universitário de Brasília e foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão Hospitalar – HAD; Caregiver Reaction Assessment (CRA); entrevista estruturada para coleta de dados sociodemográficos da díade e médicos clínicos do paciente. Segundo os dados coletados, foi possível identificar que o estado de humor do paciente – ansiedade, depressão e distress – mostrou correlação significativa positiva com estado de humor do cuidador, diferente das demais variáveis. Também, um maior nível de sobrecarga no cuidado estava relacionado significativamente com o nível de ansiedade nos pacientes. O estudo sugere que cuidar do estado emocional do paciente pode ter maior impacto na minimização da sobrecarga do cuidador e vice-versa, confirmando a necessidade de compor as equipes com profissionais treinados para o manejo de dificuldades emocionais e, em especial, psico-oncologistas.
Educação popular em saúde: um diálogo da sociedade civil com os Postos de Saúde em Goiânia .
Authors: Fernandes Beth
Published: November 2017

Este estudo, com relatos e narrativas dos grupos realizados nos Postos de Saúde, descreve as relações da população LGBTT, em especial das travestis e transexuais, com a política de saúde no município de Goiânia.

O primeiro caminho deste trabalho foi entender a dificuldade dos gestores e dos profissionais de saúde além do atendimento à população LGBTT nos Postos de Saúde em Goiânia para poder envolver o movimento social e os estudos sobre orientação sexual e gênero dentro da formação e capacitação destes profissionais de saúde. O segundo aspecto de reflexão neste texto são os fatores de vulnerabilidade dessa população, considerando que são esses fatores sociais de risco que aumentam preconceitos e discriminações contra essas pessoas e sua falta de acesso à saúde. O terceiro aspecto é levantar a idéia de que os postos de saúde podem ser entendidos e compreendidos como algo além de uma instituição e que se relaciona com a garantia de direitos e de cidadania. A metodologia adotada é qualitativa, com descrição de relatos e narrativas dos profissionais de saúde nos grupos capacitados com os mini-cursos em Goiânia na Semana de Saúde LGBTT (setembro de 2016). Todo o trabalho foi realizado em 15 Postos de Saúde no município de Goiânia, de no máximo 25 pessoas por grupo entre servidores da saúde e usuários, que tinha como objetivo entender a exclusão (acesso e receptibilidade) da população LGBTT na rede de atenção á saúde.
Another Chance at Life: Jordanian Patients’ Experience of Going Through a Myocardial Infarction
Authors: Ammouri Ali Ahmad , Kamanyire Joy Kabasindi , Abu Raddaha Ahmad H. , Achora Susan , Obeidat Arwa Atef
Published: November 2017

Background and Purpose: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a life-threatening health condition that has physical, spiritual, emotional, and social changes. Understanding feelings and thoughts of patients who suffered MI attacks is essential to recovery. Among Jordanian patients who suffered an acute attack of MI, the aim of the study was to describe the experiences and the varied meanings that they assign to their experiences. Methods: A qualitative hermeneutic phenomenological research design was used. Five participants were engaged in in-depth semistructured interviews. The participants were identified using a purposeful sampling technique, after being admitted at a coronary care unit in a university hospital located in Amman, the capital city of Jordan. The hospital provides a full range of cardiovascular medical and surgical care for patients admitted from different socioeconomic levels. Transcribed data were analyzed following inductive qualitative content analysis method. Results: The experience of MI was a traumatizing event characterized by life-threatening symptoms, and participants feared they would not come back home. However, cultural values and religiosity among the Jordanian patients played a major role in facilitating their positive coping during and after the MI attack. The participants’ recount of their experience was summed-up into 5 major themes: frightening experience, needed support, religiosity, experiencing changes, and lifestyle modifications. After the MI attack, most of the participants felt that they had given another chance to live, showing a pressing need to make healthier lifestyle modifications to avoid another MI attack. Implications for Practice: Health care workers should need not only pay attention on physical and physiological caring aspects but should also consider other patients’ needs, while supporting the patients and their family members.
Processos Terapêuticos no Tratamento do Transtorno Afetivo Bipolar: Revisão Integrativa
Authors: Leão e Silva Leonardo Oliveira , Dias Carlos Alberto , Rosalino Fernando Ulisses
Published: November 2017

Objetivando identificar na literatura os principais processos terapêuticos no tratamento do Transtorno Afetivo Bipolar (TAB), em suas diversas fases, procedeu-se a uma revisão integrativa de literatura. Utilizando-se as bases de dados Sistema Online de Busca e Análise de Literatura Médica (MEDLINE) e Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), foram selecionados 7 artigos, publicados entre janeiro de 2004 e janeiro de 2014, delimitando-se, a partir destes, dois grandes grupos de abordagem terapêutica: (1) Abordagem farmacológica; (2) Abordagem não-farmacológica. Com base na literatura, a Olanzapina, a ziprasidona e a associação entre haloperidol e prometazina são eficazes no controle da agitação e comportamento violento através da tranquilização após 12 horas. Na prevenção de novos episódios afetivos, nenhuma medicação tem o nível de evidências do lítio. Além disso, no grupo das abordagens não-farmacológicas, os estudos sugerem que a psicoterapia deve ser utilizada em associação com o tratamento farmacológico, pois associados promovem a diminuição na frequência e na duração dos episódios de humor e aumento da adesão à medicação.

Authors: De Souza Fernanda Tabita Zeidan , Araujo de Oliveira Jena Hanay
Published: November 2017

A Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) é uma síndrome irreversível e progressiva das funções renais que gera consequências físicas e prejuízos psicológicos ao indivíduo. Esse estudo avaliou sintomas de depressão e ansiedade no paciente renal crônico em tratamento conservador. A pesquisa seguiu delineamento transversal com análises descritivas e correlacionais. A amostra foi composta por 61 pacientes maiores de 18 anos diagnosticados com DRC que estavam em tratamento conservador há pelo menos três meses, sendo a participação voluntária e anônima mediante a assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido (TCLE). Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Questionário Sociodemográfico; Inventário de Depressão de Beck (BDI) e Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck (BAI). A conclusão do estudo apontou para associações existentes entre as variáveis: depressão, ansiedade e estágios da DRC. As diferenças obtidas foram estatisticamente significantes para aqueles que se encontravam em estágio inicial e final da DRC, com maior probabilidade de desenvolvimento de transtornos de humor e ansiosos.
No hay traición sin tradición. El cambio de matriz disciplinar en Pichon-Rivière
Authors: Casetta Germán Héctor
Published: November 2017

En primer lugar, este artículo analiza la problemática de la originalidad en las ciencias sociales, especialmente, en el psicoanálisis que, por obra de Pichon-Rivière, se transforma y pasa de ser psicoanálisis a psicología social. Se sostiene que, a partir de mediados de la década del 50’, emerge un nuevo estilo de razonamiento en la obra de Pichon-Rivière que intenta superar las anomalías propias de la psicología y configura, a su vez, en clave kuhniana, una nueva matriz disciplinar en el psicoanálisis. Esto a pesar de que años antes, desde la década del 30’, ya se vislumbra, en este autor, una práctica creadora pero que no se sistematiza teóricamente hasta la época de “ruptura” con el psicoanálisis ortodoxo y que coincide con su teoría del vínculo. Por último, el artículo analiza, a partir de este caso, la invención en la psicología que rompe con la tradición y se convierte en obra original.

Controls on the distribution of arsenic and rare earth elements in groundwaters of the Bafgh city area, central Iran
Authors: Pazand Kaveh
Published: November 2017

High arsenic (As) contents in groundwater were found in the Bafgh area in central Iran and chosen for hydrogeochemical study. A total of 20 groundwater samples were collected from existing tube wells in the study areas in 2013 and analyzed. The water chemistry is predominantly of Na–Cl type, with concentrations of dissolved As in the range between 0.9 and 74.7 μg/L. The chondrite-normalized rare earth elements patterns exhibited a flat profile, positive Gd anomaly with a predominance of light rare earth elements (LREEs) over heavy rare earth elements (HREEs), suggest that they originated from the same source. The metals in the groundwater of the region have a geological origin.
Hydrological utilization of satellite precipitation estimates in a data-scarce lake region
Authors: Hu Tengfei , Mao Jingqiao , Zhang Peipei , Xu Diandian , Chen Weiyu , Dai Huichao
Published: November 2017

In developing regions, accurate rain gauge measurements and satellite precipitation estimates that effectively capture rainfall spatial variability are promising sources of rainfall information. In this study, the latest Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) research product, 3B42V7, was validated against ground measurements in the region surrounding the Dongting Lake in China. In the subsequent model-based evaluation and comparison, the two precipitation datasets were separately included as the inputs for data-driven predictive models of the daily Dongting Lake level. The results show that (i) the daily 3B42V7 agrees well with the gauge measurements (correlation coefficient: 0.64–0.73); (ii) 3B42V7 underestimates the frequency of low-intensity (0–30 mm/day) rainfall and the contribution of low-intensity rainfall to the total rainfall volume, but slightly overestimates those of more intense rainfall; (iii) the lake level models driven by rainfall data from the two sources have similar performance, highlighting the potential of using 3B42V7 in data-driven modeling and prediction of hydrological variables in data-scarce regions; and (iv) the inclusion of rainfall as the model input helps achieve a balance between underestimation and overestimation of the lake levels in terms of both magnitude and quantity.
Identify the influencing paths of precipitation and soil water storage on runoff: an example from Xinjiang River Basin, Poyang Lake, China
Authors: Fan Hongxiang , Xu Ligang , Wang Xiaolong , Wu Yuexia , Jiang Jiahu
Published: November 2017

Runoff generation is a complex meteorological-hydrological process influenced by many factors. We analyzed the effects of changes in precipitation and soil water storage (SWS) on runoff generation using the path-analysis method (PAM) in Xinjiang River Basin (XJRB). By using multiple trend analysis we found that precipitation, SWS and runoff in XJRB fluctuated throughout the past 30 years with no monotonic trends at both annual and seasonal scales. Further analysis demonstrated that runoff is more sensitive to precipitation than to SWS in XJRB. PAM results showed that direct influence of precipitation on runoff was seven times as large as that of SWS. Moreover, the indirect influence of precipitation on runoff through SWS accounts for 11–31% of the total influence of precipitation on runoff. This information will improve the description of precipitation and runoff relationship as well as the planning and management of water resources.

Published: November 2017

Introduction:

Immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors increases the overall survival of patients with metastatic melanoma regardless of their oncogene addicted mutations. However, no data is available from clinical trials of effective therapies in subgroups of melanoma patients that carry chronic infective diseases such as HIV. Evidences suggest a key role of the immune checkpoint molecules as a mechanism of immune escape not only from melanoma but also from HIV host immune response.

Conclusion:

In this article, firstly, we will describe the role of the immune checkpoint molecules in HIV chronic infection. Secondly, we will summarize the most relevant clinical evidences utilizing immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of melanoma patients. Lastly, we will discuss the potential implications as well as the potential applications of immune checkpoint molecule-based immunotherapy in patients with melanoma and HIV infection.

Recruitment of Participants and Delivery of Online Mental Health Resources for Depressed Individuals Using Tumblr: Pilot Randomized Control Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Kelleher Erin , Moreno Megan , Wilt Megan Pumper
Published: November 2017

BACKGROUND

Adolescents and young adults frequently post depression symptom references on social media; previous studies show positive associations between depression posts and self-reported depression symptoms. Depression is common among young people and this population often experiences many barriers to mental health care. Thus, social media may be a new resource to identify, recruit, and intervene with young people at risk for depression.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this pilot study was to test a social media intervention on Tumblr. We used social media to identify and recruit participants and to deliver the intervention of online depression resources.

METHODS

This randomized pilot intervention identified Tumblr users age 15-23 who posted about depression using the search term “#depress”. Eligible participants were recruited via Tumblr messages; consented participants completed depression surveys and were then randomized to an intervention of online mental health resources delivered via a Tumblr message, while control participants did not receive resources. Postintervention online surveys assessed resource access and usefulness and control groups were asked whether they would have liked to receive resources. Analyses included t tests.

RESULTS

A total of 25 participants met eligibility criteria. The mean age of the participants was 17.5 (SD 1.9) and 65% were female with average score on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 of 17.5 (SD 5.9). Among the 11 intervention participants, 36% (4/11) reported accessing intervention resources and 64% (7/11) felt the intervention was acceptable. Among the 14 control participants, only 29% (4/14) of reported that receiving resources online would be acceptable (P=.02). Participants suggested anonymity and ease of use as important characteristics in an online depression resource.

CONCLUSIONS

The intervention was appropriately targeted to young people at risk for depression, and recruitment via Tumblr was feasible. Most participants in the intervention group felt the social media approach was acceptable, and about a third utilized the online resources. Participants who had not experienced the intervention were less likely to find it acceptable. Future studies should explore this approach in larger samples. Social media may be an appropriate platform for online depression interventions for young people.

This paper is mainly on patient safety in health-care information technology (HIT). One of the main concerns with respect to this is recording all patient related information. One of the issues is auto documentation in HIT. Due to this, many medical errors are occurring, to avoid this automation to the patient history need to be supported. The patient will be linked with history, prescription, doctors, and nurse’s information. All this information should be linked with one patient ID known as bar code. The outcome of care transformations of the medication administration process that resulted from the implementation of one type of IT: Bar-coded medication administration (BCMA). Hence, this paper shows the technologies of BCMA how it works and the drawback of it and the implementation on open-source platform of BCMA.

Several factors such as deforestation and expansion of agriculture and livestock has promoted the close contact between wild and domestic animals, leading to the sharing of pathogens, including the Cytauxzoon felis. The aim of this study is to report a case of cytauxzoonose in a free-living Puma concolor from the southwest region of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The diagnosis was obtained through microscopy of peripheral blood smear and polymerase chain reaction, that in this report, was characterized as accidental finding, since clinical manifestations associated to disease were not observed. The detection of Cytauxzoon felis highlights the need to establish the epidemiological importance of wild animals and the risk that they represent to domestic and captive wild populations in relation to tick-borne pathogens transmitted.

Los desórdenes linfoproliferativos postrasplante (PTLD por sus siglas en inglés: Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative disorders) se presentan en 3 a 10% de adultos con trasplante de órgano sólido (TOS). Se ha asociado a infección por Virus Epstein Barr (VEB). Es difícil diferenciar PTLD de rechazo o infección viral, porque los hallazgos clínicos e histopatológicos son muy similares. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) secundaria a glomerulonefritis IgM, con trasplante renal de donante cadavérico, quien presentó proteinuria y disminucuón de la función renal, se le documentó una masa en el injerto renal compatible con desorden linfoproliferativo postrasplante renal de tipo polimórfico (PTLD), VEB positivo y CD 20 positivo. El tratamiento consistió en rituximab 375 mg/m2 semanales, cuatro dosis, se realizó control con imágenes y se adicionó el esquema CHOP (ciclofosfamida, vincristina, doxorubicina). El paciente toleró de manera adecuada la quimioterapia, no requirió radioterapia, ni trasplantectomía y después del R-CHOP la masa disminuyó de manera significativa hasta desaparecer al año de seguimiento manteniendo función óptima del injerto renal.
Hiponatremia por oxcarbacepina en esclerosis múltiple, un caso para tener en cuenta
Authors: Beltrán Diego , Montoya Mario
Published: November 2017

La hiponatremia es uno de los efectos adversos en los pacientes tratados con oxcarbazepina. Se puede ver enmascarada por múltiples síntomas, atribuibles a otras enfermedades, pero siempre debemos tenerla en mente en un paciente con antecedente de ingesta de dicho medicamento. Muchos de los pacientes son asintomáticos; cifras inferiores a 120 mmol/L ponen de manifiesto síntomas de severidad, como los presentados en el paciente con esclerosis múltiple que mostraremos a continuación. La habilidad diagnóstica del clínico, por tanto, juega un rol fundamental. Debido a esto, se expone un caso en el que una mujer tratada con oxcarbacepina, para una de las formas clínicas de esclerosis múltiple, llega a urgencias con manifestaciones de este trastorno electrolítico. Por esto se escoge el caso clínico atendido por los autores directamente. Se concluye que no es infrecuente esta reacción adversa y que hay que tenerla en cuenta a la hora de los diagnósticos diferenciales.
Metformina en enfermedad renal diabética: estado actual
Authors: Arocha Rodulfo José Ildefonzo , Amair Maini Pablo
Published: November 2017

El tratamiento actual dirigido a retardar la progresión de la enfermedad renal diabética, incluye un control intensivo de la glucemia con control óptimo de la hipertensión arterial, bloqueo del sistema renina-angiotensina-aldosterona junto a otras intervenciones multifactoriales. Sin embargo, la protección renal, a pesar de éstas medidas, no se alcanza en su totalidad, habiendo escasos estudios donde se analice el efecto nefroprotector de las drogas antihiperglucemiantes mas allá de su efecto hipoglucemiante.Este artículo analiza la información existente sobre el estatus actual de la metformina en la enfermedad renal diabética.

Authors: Varela Diana Cristina , González Nicolás Molano , Vanegas Ofelia , Rodríguez Konniev
Published: November 2017

Introducción: La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) ha aumentado su prevalencia en los últimos años, pasando de 44,7 pacientes por millón en 1993 a 621 pacientes por millón en 2012; los pacientes que reciben hemodiálisis de terapia de reemplazo renal en Colombia han mejorado cada vez más la supervivencia. El aumento del número de pacientes y el aumento de la supervivencia nos animan a mejorar la calidad de vida durante los años de diálisis. Metodología: La calidad de vida fue comparada por SF-36 en 154 pacientes con ERC terminal en manejo de hemodiálisis, 77 pacientes incidentes y 77 pacientes prevalentes que forman parte de una unidad renal en Bogotá, Colombia Resultados: Se han reducido todas las escalas de calidad de vida en toda la población de pacientes en hemodiálisis. En los pacientes incidentes hay una menor calidad de vida en comparación con los prevalentes (p = 0,028) en este grupo las características más relevantes fueron IMC <31, hb <11 g / dL y el uso de catéter, las escalas del SF-36 Los más afectados son los componentes físicos. Conclusiones: La calidad de vida de los pacientes en diálisis se ve afectada con mayor impacto en el grupo de pacientes incidentes, los aspectos nutricionales deben ser mejorados, el acceso hematológico y vascular en este grupo.

Authors: Saif Perveen , Reba Amjad - , Din Jalal Ud
Published: November 2017

This study was designed to compare the subject knowledge of B.Ed graduates of formal and non-formal teacher education systems. The population of the study included all teachers from Girls High and Higher Secondary Schools both from private and public sectors from the district of Peshawar. Out of the total population, twenty schools were randomly selected from which 60 teachers from formal and 60 from non-formal system (6 teachers from each school) were randomly selected. A test was prepared and personally distributed among 120 teachers. The data were organized and analyzed through descriptive analysis. It was found that B.Ed. graduates from formal system had more subject knowledge as compared to B.Ed. graduates from non-formal teacher education system. It is recommended that the graduates as well as the teacher educators need to update their knowledge and work for continuous professional development.
Piunikhin-Salamon-Schwarz isomorphisms and spectral invariants for conormal bundle
Authors: Duretic Jovana
Published: November 2017

We give a construction of the Piunikhin-Salamon-Schwarz isomorphism between
the Morse homology and the Floer homology generated by Hamiltonian orbits
starting at the zero section and ending at the conormal bundle. We also prove
that this isomorphism is natural in the sense that it commutes with the
isomorphisms between the Morse homology for different choices of the Morse
function and the Floer homology for different choices of the Hamiltonian. We
define a product on the Floer homology and prove triangle inequality for
conormal spectral invariants with respect to this product.
Bi-Lipschitzity of quasiconformal harmonic mappings in n-dimensional space with respect to k-metric
Authors: Shalandi Shadia
Published: November 2017

We explore conditions which guarantee bi-Lipschitzity of harmonic
quasiconformal maps with respect to k-metric. We prove that harmonic
k-quasiconformal maps with nonzero Jacobian between any two domains in Rn
are bi-Lipschitz with respect to k-metric, and prove the converse too.

Published: November 2017

We introduce a fractional type Black-Scholes model in European options
including the regularized Prabhakar derivative. We apply the reconstruction
of variational iteration method to get the approximate analytical solutions
for some models of generalized fractional Black-Scholes equations in terms of
the generalized Mittag-Leffler functions.
Explicit and asymptotic formulae for Vasyunin-cotangent sums
Authors: Goubi Mouloud , Bayad Abdelmejid , Hernane Mohand
Published: November 2017

For coprime numbers p and q, we consider the Vasyunin-cotangent sum V(q,
p)= ?p?1 k=1 {kq/p} cot (?k/p). First, we prove explicit
formula for the symmetric sum V(p,q)+ V(q,p) which is a new
reciprocity law for the sums above. This formula can be seen as a complement
to the Bettin-Conrey result [13, Theorem 1]. Second, we establish an
asymptotic formula for V(p,q). Finally, by use of continued fraction
theory, we give a formula for V(p,q) in terms of continued fraction of
p/q.
Korovkin type theorem for functions of two variables via lacunary equistatistical convergence
Authors: Mursaleen M.
Published: November 2017

Aktu?lu and Gezer [1] introduced the concepts of lacunary equistatistical
convergence, lacunary statistical pointwise convergence and lacunary
statistical uniform convergence for sequences of functions. Recently, Kaya
and G?n?l [11] proved some analogs of the Korovkin approximation theorem via
lacunary equistatistical convergence by using test functions 1, x/1+x, y/1+y,
(x/1+x)2 +(y/1+y)2. We apply the notion of lacunary equistatistical
convergence to prove a Korovkin type approximation theorem for functions of
two variables by using test functions 1, x/1?x, y/1?y, (x/1?x)2+(y/1?y)2.

Authors: Oguntuase James , Persson Lars-Erik , Fabelurin Olabiyi , Adeagbo-Sheikh Abdullaziz
Published: November 2017

Refinements of some limit Hardy-type inequalities are derived and discussed
using the concept of superquadracity. We also proved that all three
constants appearing in the refined inequalities obtained are sharp. The
natural turning point of our refined Hardy inequality is p = 2 and for this
case we have even equality.
Evaluación de la vida útil de quesos semimaduros con recubrimientos comestibles utilizando aceite esencial de jengibre (Zingiber officinale) como agente antimicrobiano.
Authors: Tapiero Cuellar Jose Libardo
Published: November 2017

El uso de materiales biodegradables ha permitido sustituir en gran parte los empaques plásticos. Los recubrimientos comestibles a partir de polisacáridos se han convertido en una alternativa atractiva y rentable para la conservación de alimentos. Para este trabajo, se utilizaron películas de carboximetilcelulosa (CMC) (1,5; 2,0; 2,5%) incorporando glicerol como plastificante (5%) y aceite esencial (AE)  (0,05; 0.1 mL/l) de jengibre (Zingiber officinale) como agente antimicrobiano para la conservación de quesos semimaduros. Se realizó la extracción de AE de jengibre (Zingiber officinale), así como a la identificación de sus componentes principales. Para el efecto se realizaron pruebas fisicoquímicas del rizoma (Humedad 84,79; Cenizas 1,39 Proteínas 2,27; Grasa 4,12; Fibra 0,62; Carbohidratos 5,78) sobre la especie analizada. El aceite esencial fue obtenido por hidrodestilación asistida por microondas (MWHD) en un tiempo de 60 minutos (dividido en intervalos de 15 minutos), con una separación final por rotaevaporación. Los rendimientos obtenidos fueron del 0,15-0,25% con respecto al peso húmedo. Las características físicas de las muestras presentaron valores de índice de refracción de 1.52, densidad 0.88 g/ml y solubilidad en etanol a 96º. El análisis del aceite esencial se realizó por GC-MS, encontrándose un alto contenido de sesquiterpenos, como el zingibereno (7,2-8,5%) y el a-curcumeno (2,8-3.3%). Los quesos semimaduros fueron recubiertos, y almacenados en condiciones de anaquel (15°C; HR 80%), evaluándose durante 24 días  la inhibición del crecimiento de la microbiota predominante en este tipo de alimentos (Penicillium, Aspergillius, Geotrichum, Mucor sp y Fusarium).
Extracción enzimática de esteviolglucósidos en jugo de mora (Rubus Adenotrichus)
Authors: Gonzalez Torrivilla Cesar Castor , Perez Sira Elevina
Published: November 2017

Como estrategia para alcanzar mayor rendimiento en el procesamiento de pulpa de mora y al mismo tiempo extraer los esteviolglucósidos presentes en hojas deshidratadas de estevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni), fueron evaluados 5 preparados enzimáticos durante la elaboración de un jugo de mora. Se evaluaron dos niveles de las variables consideradas: concentración de enzima (100 y 200ppm) y tiempo de incubación (15 y 30min) en dos medios de extracción: agua y pulpa de mora (a 50 y 35°C, respectivamente). La eficiencia del tratamiento fue analizado a través de la determinación de sólidos insoluasbles en suspensión, sólidos solubles y cuantificación por HPLC de esteviósido y rebaudiósido A.  En base al análisis estadístico aplicado se pudo afirmar que no existe ningún efecto,  ni en el tiempo de incubación, ni en la concentración del complejo enzimático, sobre los valores resultantes de sólidos solubles totales, pero si en los SIS, del preparado comercial ®Pectinex Ultra AFPL. En relación a la extracción de esteviolglucósidos, tanto en los ensayos de extracción en jugo de mora como en agua, hay diferencias estadísticamente significativas al valorar el binomio enzima*tiempo.  Las concentraciones más altas de esteviolglucósidos fueron alcanzadas empleando 200ppm de ®Pectinex Clear durante 30 segundos. A pesar de ello, los valores obtenidos son similares a las concentraciones cuantificadas en la muestra testigo lo que corrobora que la difusión de estos compuestos de las hojas al medio, ocurre principalmente por la solubilidad de los mismos, más que por la hidrólisis originada por las enzimas especificas empleadas en el estudio.
