Review of Tarping and a Case Study on Small-scale Organic Farms
Authors: Kubalek Roger , Granatstein David , Collins Doug , Miles Carol
Published: February 2022

Covering the soil surface with opaque plastic sheets to kill vegetation is referred to as tarping and is used by small-scale and organic growers to control weeds before planting crops. There are few published studies on tarping, and here we present a review of the literature in combination with observations from two on-farm case studies, one carried out in northern California and the other in northwestern Washington. An advantage of tarping is that it enables growers to control weeds without herbicides or tillage equipment, which can be cost-prohibitive for small-scale growers. Tarping is also suitable for no- or reduced-tillage systems, which is a primary goal for many small-scale and organic growers. Silage tarps that are 5 to 6 mils thick and black on one side and white on the other are most commonly used for tarping, are readily available new or used from some local agricultural suppliers or online, and can be reused for six or more seasons. Tarps are placed with the black side up to warm the soil, which encourages weed seed germination. When the soil is tilled and then tarped, a 3-week period with sufficient soil temperature and moisture is sufficient to kill emergent weeds in the top ≈1 inch of soil and provides a 95% to 100% weed-free surface at tarp removal. When a tarp is applied from autumn until spring to a plot that has established weeds, winter annual weeds can be controlled for several weeks after tarp removal, and then soil disturbance results in germination of additional weed seeds. For established perennial weeds, it may be necessary to extend the tarp application time to several months during critical weed growth phases or a full year to break the vegetative life cycle. Tarping does not reduce the weed seed bank, thus minimal soil disturbance after tarp removal is needed to maintain a reduced weed population during the cropping period.

Published: February 2022

A rootstock collection of Prunus species and hybrids is maintained at the U.S. Department of Agriculture stone fruit breeding program at Byron, GA. We genotyped 66 Prunus rootstock accessions and clones using chloroplast and nuclear microsatellites in this study. Chloroplast microsatellites revealed that the accessions belong to four previously defined maternal lineage groups (MLG-1 to -4) and five new ones (MLG-9 to -13). MLG-1 and -2 share the same chloroplast alleles of ‘Chinese Cling’ peach (Prunus persica) derived scions and American scions and rootstocks related to early European introductions, respectively. MLG-3 included ‘Guardian’ rootstock and its descendants. MLG-4 had a single genotype, ‘Okinawa’, that is the maternal parent of ‘Flordaking’. MLG-9 and MLG-11 to -13 included hybrids with different plums (Prunus salicina, Prunus cerasifera, Prunus tomentosa, or Prunus angustifolia) in their maternal parentage. MLG-10 included hybrids from almond (Prunus. dulcis) in the maternal parentage. The neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on nuclear microsatellite genotyping data showed several clusters. Cluster I included only one scion cultivar Elberta from MLG-1. Clusters II, III, and V contained peach accessions mostly in MLG-2. Clusters IV and VI included accessions mostly in MLG-3. Cluster VII included most accessions of plum-peach hybrid origin and those found within MLG-13. Cluster VIII was found to be mixed with different plum-peach hybrids and hybrids from other Prunus species, most of which were found in MLG-10, -11, and -12. Most accessions in Cluster IX were related to plums in MLG-11 and a few accessions in MLG-9.

Authors: Rueda Díaz Breismam Alfonso , Rodríguez Montes Juan Camilo , Acero Soto Diego Mauricio
Published: February 2022

Los estudiantes con discapacidad visual en el sistema educativo colombiano cuentan con escasos mecanismos para comunicarse con sus docentes guías, situación que incrementa las brechas de inclusión y el distanciamiento social existentes. Frente a estas problemáticas se plantea el desarrollo de un dispositivo experimental de traducción de símbolos matemáticos a lenguaje Braille que a través de Internet se enlace a una aplicación web que transmite información proveniente de los ejercicios matemáticos prediseñados por el docente. Con la implementación de este prototipo apoyado en metodologías casuísticas, se buscó aportar al desarrollo de estructuras mentales espacio-temporales en las personas con discapacidad visual, a partir de las experiencias obtenidas en distintos momentos de interacción con el dispositivo y con la información percibida por este. Para el diseño, construcción y prueba del dispositivo se implementó un marco de trabajo Scrum, que permitió la división de las distintas fases del proyecto, en tareas a ejecutarse en cortos plazos. De igual manera se utilizó el método Design Thinking para la concepción del prototipo, en el que se tienen en cuenta variables como la portabilidad, la usabilidad, la adaptabilidad, la funcionalidad y la inmersión. La interacción entre el estudiante con discapacidad visual y el dispositivo se evaluó a través de un cuestionario, como evidencia de la viabilidad de adoptar este tipo de tecnologías, desde la percepción de satisfacción que se tienen con el dispositivo, la interacción sensorial táctil y auditiva, la naturalización del manejo de la interfaz y el estado de ánimo del participante.

Published: February 2022

In this study, for the first time, histamine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (HIS-MNP) were used as sorbent phase combined with bar adsorptive microextraction (BAµE) for the determination of methylparaben (MP), ethylparaben (EP), propylparaben (PP), and butylparaben (BP) in water samples by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). Extraction and desorption conditions, including desorption time and solvent, ionic strength effect and extraction time, were investigated. The extractions were performed for 90 min, 30% of NaCl and sample pH 5. Desorption was carried out using 250 μL of acetonitrile:methanol (25:75 v/v) for 30 min. The limits of detection (LODs) were of 1.5 μg L−1 and limits of quantification (LOQs) were 5.0 μg L−1 for all analytes. The intra-day precision ranged from 1% for EP, PP and BP to 3% for MP, EP, PP and BP. The inter-day precision ranged from 3% for EP to 18% for BP. The relative recoveries varied from 81 to 125%, and relative standard deviations (RSD) ranged between 1 and 16%.
Transgeracionalidade, família e origem: um ensaio preliminar sobre as patologias da herança
Authors: Azevedo Luciana Jaramillo Caruso
Published: February 2022

O presente estudo teórico tem como objetivo articular as noções de transgeracionalidade, elemento essencial para a compreensão da constituição psíquica e de suas heranças patológicas. A transgeracionalidade é uma das formas de transmissão da herança psíquica, cuja repetição configura-se pela insistência da cadeia significante. O inconsciente, por ser transindividual e estruturado como uma linguagem, desvela a fantasia originária anterior a seu próprio herdeiro. As inflexões feitas pelo Outro parental no discurso são fundamentais, em considerando que o desejo é desejo do Outro. As vivências ancestrais encontram canais inconscientes de transmissão que, quanto menos reconhecido o significante mestre, mais elas insistirão através das gerações. São os referenciais simbólicos que permitem a instauração da diferença de lugares entre as gerações na cadeia de filiação. Os pontos de fragilidade entre as gerações são expressos em termos de sintoma e indicam uma impossibilidade de representação.
ATRAVESSAMENTOS NATURAIS NA PRODUÇÃO DE SUBJETIVIDADE AMBIENTAL
Authors: Mazzarino Jane , Scheibe Denise , Petter Bruno , Griebeler Debora
Published: February 2022

Uma escola pública, uma área verde, um grupo de alunos de 11 e 12 anos e um grupo de pesquisa que tinha como objetivo experienciar possibilidades de sensibilização ambiental baseadas em um método que explora atividades ao ar livre, visando à produção de uma subjetividade ambiental. Estes elementos foram geradores de encontros semanais que duraram três meses, optando-se por avaliar um processo de educação ambiental em continuidade, a fim de se estabelecer um vínculo com o grupo e observar com profundidade processos que os pesquisadores só investigavam em encontros esporádicos. A estratégia do grupo de pesquisa foi baseada no método do Aprendizado Sequencial de Joseph Cornell e na proposta ecosófica de Felix Guattari  e suas três ecologias: subjetiva, social e ambiental. O objetivo foi investigar possibilidades de produção de subjetividade ambiental a partir da proposta ecosófica e de um método de educação ambiental ao ar livre. Como elemento conclusivo fundamental consideramos a evidência de que o contato coletivo com a natureza afeta as relações sociais, favorecendo a percepção do outro na sua singularidade. Ou seja, a natureza atua como facilitadora da abertura para o outro. A ecologia social e subjetiva ou mental, no caso em estudo, foram favorecidas pela ecologia do ambiente.

Este resumo expandido apresenta o processo de concepção do projeto que obteve o primeiro lugar no Concurso de ideias de um módulo habitacional para contextos de catástrofe realizado no Atelier Internacional Virtual de Projeto de Arquitetura (IVADS) - Projetando on-line 2021. A equipe de desenvolvimento desta proposta adotou como tema a crise migratória venezuelana e o fato de que a arquitetura normalmente encontrada nos campos de refugiados existentes não contemplar as necessidades da vida cotidiana daqueles usam temporariamente os abrigos. Nesse sentido, o projeto busca favorecer a reconquista da identidade dos refugiados venezuelanos no Brasil por meio de uma proposta de abrigos habitacionais temporários dispostos sob uma cobertura única na cidade de Pacaraima, na divisa estado de Roraima com a Venezuela, inspirados a arte do trançado em palha de buriti praticada pelos índios Warao. A concepção do projeto foi realizada de forma colaborativa e horizontal, e empregou múltiplos instrumentos técnicos, sobretudo os recursos da parametrização e sistemas generativos por meio de algoritmos que possibilitaram a personalização em massa do abrigo, de maneira que sua geometria possa variar em função da quantidade de seus usuários. Como resultado, a proposta desenvolvida estabelece uma relação simbólico-cultural entre a materialidade dos abrigos e as culturas brasileira e venezuelana; utiliza materiais de baixo custo disponíveis no local e os saberes constitutivos da comunidade; é fácil de montar e desmontar; emprega estratégias de conforto térmico e lumínico e ainda promove espaços de convivência, trabalho, estudo e lazer.

Published: February 2022

Neurological damage in brain injury occurs due to secondary brain injury. Kencur extract has antioxidant potential with total phenolic and flavonoid content including luteolin apigenin and is expected to reduce MDA expression to prevent secondary injury. This study is an experimental laboratory. The treatment of all samples was carried out simultaneously using a post-test-only control group design. Based on the ANOVA test, the significance value of the Kencur extract treatment group was 0.000 (p<0.05) indicating that there was a difference in MDA expression in brain-injured rats without kencur extract with brain-injured rats and given kencur extract. In the 24-hour and 48-hour time groups, a significance value of 0.488 (p> 0.05) showed no significant difference in MDA expression. Then the Kencur extract treatment group with a time group of 0.117 (p> 0.05) showed no significant difference in MDA expression. There was a significant difference in the expression of MDA in brain-injured rats without kencur extract with brain-injured rats and given kencur extract. There were no significant differences in the MDA expression in the 24-hour and 48-hour time groups and the Kencur extract treatment group and the 24-hour and 48-hour time groups.

Authors: Cho Soo Jin , Lee Mi Sook , Lee Yu Ri
Published: February 2022

Purpose: This study intends to analyze the current status and characteristics of the hearing impaired by analyzing ‘actual survey data for the disabled’ from 2005 to recent, and to use them as basic data for establishing rehabilitation and welfare service policies for the hearing impaired.Methods: Among the items related to hearing impairment in the survey data, longitudinal, and meaningful areas such as general characteristics, hearing aid and communication, education and welfare services of the hearing impaired were mainly analyzed.Results: The prevalence of hearing impairment was 0.65% to 0.66% and the age distribution of the hearing impaired increased rapidly after the age of 50, and the proportion of over 65 years old increased by about 17.9% from 55.3% in 2008 to 73.2% in 2017. The rate of acquired factors (5.2% as of 2017) was higher than that of congenital factors as the cause of hearing impairment. The rate of people with hearing impairment who did not attend school increased as they went up from elementary school to high school, and the rate was the highest among the major areas of disability. Among the welfare needs of the hearing impaired, income security (40.4% as of 2017) was the highest.Conclusion: If research that reflects the various characteristics of hearing impairment is expanded in addition to periodic actual surveys for the disabled in the future, the current results is expected that it can be used as basic data for mid- to long-term welfare policies for the hearing impaired.

Published: February 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify relationships among the word-finding behaviors ratio using discourse production task, subjective memory, and objective memory in healthy elderly adults.Methods: Ninety-five healthy elderly adults participated in this study. Participants were used to picture description tasks. To evaluate the subjective memory deficit of the elderly, Subjective Memory Complaints Questionnaire (SMCQ) was used, and to evaluate the objective memory deficit, the Seoul Verbal Learning Test (SVLT) was used.Results: First, the ratio of word-finding behaviors in the elderly appeared in the order of empty words, repetitions, insertions, time fillers, delays, word reformulations, and substitutions. Second, the SMCQ score, which evaluates subjective memory, showed a significant positive correlation with the ratio of global index, repetitions, and insertions. Third, the ratio of global index, repetitions, insertions, delays, and substitutions of word-finding behaviors were significantly correlated with the objective memory of the elderly. Finally, the most significant predictor variable in the global index ratio of word-finding behaviors of the elderly was the delayed recall score of SVLT.Conclusion: The results of this study suggested that the ratio of wordfinding behaviors by the spontaneous speech-based naming test is closely related to the subjective and objective memory in healthy elderly adults.

Purpose: This study aimed to translate the Parent’s Evaluation of Aural/Oral Performance of Children (PEACH) Rating Scale into Korean and to verify its reliability and validity in normal-hearing children.Methods: The translation of the PEACH questionnaire to Korean was done by keeping the original meaning as possible. The contents were verified to confirm the appropriateness of the translated PEACH version. The Korean version of PEACH was conducted on parents of 120 children with normal hearing aged 0 to 4 years. The internal consistency reliability and constructive validity analyses were performed. The PEACH scores (quiet, noise, and overall) were compared between age groups, and the logistic regression analyses between scores and age were examined.Results: Chronbach’s alpha values of the PEACH were 0.954 in overall, 0.939 in quiet, and 0.885 in noise, showing high internal consistency reliability, and significant constructive validity was shown. The PEACH scores significantly increased as age increased from 0 to 4 years. There were large score differences in the age range from 0 to 2 years. There was no significant difference after 3 years of age, but a significantly lower score was observed in noise. The logistic regression analysis between scores and age indicated that 85% of the overall score was achieved at 31 months of age.Conclusion: These findings suggest that the Korean version of PEACH is highly reliable and valid as a test tool for measuring the hearing performance of young children.
User Perceptions of Different Vital Signs Monitor Modalities During High-Fidelity Simulation: Semiquantitative Analysis
Authors: Akbas Samira , Said Sadiq , Roche Tadzio Raoul , Nöthiger Christoph B , Spahn Donat R , Tscholl David W , Bergauer Lisa
Published: February 2022

Background

Patient safety during anesthesia is crucially dependent on the monitoring of vital signs. However, the values obtained must also be perceived and correctly classified by the attending care providers. To facilitate these processes, we developed Visual-Patient-avatar, an animated virtual model of the monitored patient, which innovatively presents numerical and waveform data following user-centered design principles. After a high-fidelity simulation study, we analyzed the participants’ perceptions of 3 different monitor modalities, including this newly introduced technique.

Objective

The aim of this study was to collect and evaluate participants’ opinions and experiences regarding 3 different monitor modalities, which are Visual-Patient-avatar, Split Screen (avatar and Conventional monitor alongside each other), and Conventional monitor after using them during simulated critical anesthetic events.

Methods

This study was a researcher-initiated, single-center, semiquantitative study. We asked 92 care providers right after finishing 3 simulated emergency scenarios about their positive and negative opinions concerning the different monitor modalities. We processed the field notes obtained and derived the main categories and corresponding subthemes following qualitative research methods.

Results

We gained a total of 307 statements. Through a context-based analysis, we identified the 3 main categories of “Visual-Patient-avatar,” “Split Screen,” and “Conventional monitor” and divided them into 11 positive and negative subthemes. We achieved substantial interrater reliability in assigning the statements to 1 of the topics. Most of the statements concerned the design and usability features of the avatar or the Split Screen mode.

Conclusions

This study semiquantitatively reviewed the clinical applicability of the Visual-Patient-avatar technique in a high-fidelity simulation study and revealed the strengths and limitations of the avatar only and Split Screen modality. In addition to valuable suggestions for improving the design, the requirement for training prior to clinical implementation was emphasized. The responses to the Split Screen suggest that this symbiotic modality generates better situation awareness in combination with numerical data and accurate curves. As a subsequent development step, a real-life introduction study is planned, where we will test the avatar in Split Screen mode under actual clinical conditions.

Published: February 2022

Background

The expediency in producing and approving vaccines for the COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented. Regrettably, this fomented public distrust and misinformation about vaccination. The Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA-based vaccine was the first to be approved for mass use after phase 3 clinical trials affirmed its safety and efficacy. Vaccine safety monitoring is ongoing.

Objective

This study aims to describe reported adverse events following immunization with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine among first recipients in Jordan.

Methods

A retrospective descriptive study was conducted on data extracted from the Ministry of Health’s database for the National Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System from January to May 2021. The frequency of adverse events was compared between the first and second doses and across age groups, gender, and comorbidities. The chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables.

Results

In total 1874 individuals who received both doses of the vaccine were studied. The mean age was 68 years, with a 2:1 male to female ratio and 73% with comorbidities. About two-thirds (68%) of recipients reported side effects after the first dose, 54.3% after the second, and 53.3% after both. Most common side effects following each and both doses were pain at the injection site (32%), fatigue (16%), and headache (8%), followed by fever, myalgia, and arthralgia. Overall, reported side effects increased 1.4 times after the second dose mostly for systemic side effects. Significantly, more females reported side effects than males, while those with comorbidities reported comparatively fewer side effects (52.2%) than the medically free (59%). Further, 72.5% of recipients aged 55 years or younger reported side effects compared to 50% of older recipients. No anaphylactic reactions were reported. Severe side effects were rare and self-limiting, including tachycardia (n=4), shortness of breath (n=28), and lower limb paresthesia (n=6).

Conclusions

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has proven to be safe and well tolerated among vulnerable recipients with comorbidities. Continuous adverse event surveillance and follow-up are recommended.

Хірургічне втручання є ключовим етапом лікування онкологічних хворих, радикальність якого впливає на прогноз солідних злоякісних пухлин та визначає віддалені показники виживаності пацієнтів. Взаємозв’язок між кількістю виконаних онкохірургічних втручань в лікарні (об’єм лікарні), а також кількістю проведених операцій окремим хірургом (об’єм хірурга) та результатами лікування хворих на злоякісні пухлини є предметом обговорення сучасних досліджень. Згідно з цими публікаціями, хворі, яким проводили хірургічне лікування в лікарнях з великим оперативним навантаженням, мали кращі результати порівняно з хворими, які лікувалися в лікарнях з невеликим об’ємом. Поясненнями цього факту можуть слугувати: вищі показники технічних навичок хірургів, краща організаційна інфраструктура, мультидисциплінарний підхід до визначення тактики лікування, необхідні ресурси і обладнання для послідовності та наступності методів протипухлинної терапії. Пацієнти, які отримують лікування в спеціалізованих закладах, з більшою ймовірністю пройдуть коректне обстеження, отримають необхідний об’єм хірургічного лікування та своєчасну ад’ювантну терапію згідно з існуючими клінічними рекомендаціями, що і зумовить вищі показники загальної та безрецидивної виживаності хворих. Результати огляду є підґрунтям для перегляду концепції професійної підготовки хірурга, вимог до професійного ліцензування, безперервного післядипломного навчання та створення великооб’ємних кваліфікаційних освітніх центрів.

This paper presents a summary of a National Science Foundation Webinar on Supporting Student Research with methods of relevance to applied research applications. This Webinar featured invited Presidential Award (PAESMEM) winners Dominique Evans-Bye and Steve Oppenheimer and showcases selections done by K-12 students that are every bit as good as many from university level research programs. K-12 research is often belittled as not real research but this concept will be negated by reading the applied research presented here. Interesting data on ejecta pattern on Martian crater, adhesion peptides binding to hydroxyapatite, and population dynamics of Collembolans are presented here. Dominique Evans-Bye, a high school teacher, is one of two US Presidential Award winners in the area of student research in science, of hundreds at the university level. This paper will show why she was selected to receive this honor and what other teachers can do to lift the level of student research in their classes.

Authors: Uvalle Berrones Ricardo
Published: February 2022

El objetivo del trabajo es analizar la importancia de que la Auditoría Superior de la Federación en México sea transformada en Tribunal de Cuentas, para que como órgano independiente y autónomo cumpla con mayor vigor constitucional y legal los cometidos que tiene en materia de rendición de cuentas, la cual conjuga revisión, fiscalización, vigilancia y evaluación de los fondos públicos federales. De otro modo continuará como órgano subordinado a la Cámara de Diputados, carente de facultades jurisdiccionales para sancionar faltas u observaciones que provocan conductas delictivas de los servidores públicos, con lo cual sus tareas son limitadas y sin efectos vinculatorios

Authors: Waldiya Komal J.
Published: February 2022

Abstract: Global warming and climate change are raising issues during the last couple of decades. With residential and commercial buildings being the largest energy consumers, sources are being depleted at a much faster pace in the recent decades. The main aim of this project is to make the building as a net zero energy building (NZEBs). In which NZEBs design tools and applications are presented that can help designers in the commercial and residential sectors design their buildings to be NZEBs. It is much difficult to understand the overall concept of a NZEBs. As the building has significant impact on the energy use and the environment which effects on the development of the present era. The NZEBs occupants with healthy & comfortable indoor living environment and produces as much energy as it consumes on an annual base. We shall use the solar panels, solar PV system, wind energy, tidal energy, some plants to make building NZEBs & to make the building eco-friendly and energy efficient.

An Overview on The Use of Galactogogues in the Breast-Feeding Mother
Authors: Kousar Zaiba
Published: February 2022

Abstract: Breastfeeding mothers are often concerned about an inadequate quality of breast milk. The importance of Breastfeeding has been acknowledged by Indians since antiquity and recognized importance of certain medical plants for augmentation of Breast milk. Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for infants. Most of the mothers face the problem of insufficient breast milk which affects the health and well-being of Infant. Galactogogues are defined simply as substances that promote lactation. Oral galactagogues are substances that stimulate milk production. They may be pharmacological or non pharmacological (natural). Natural galactagogues are usually botanical or other food agents, such as moringa leaves, oats, shatavari roots, fenugreek, fennel etc. Pharmacological galactagogues such as domperidone, metoclopramide, sulpiride and Thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH). There are several beliefs and taboos on the Use of these galactogogues. Pre-lacteal feeding are those feeds which are given in the form of fluid or semisolid food to the infants at first three days after birth before putting infant on breastfeeding. Breastfeeding practices help the mother in understanding initiation, duration and problems encountered during breastfeeding. Maternal knowledge on breastfeeding practices, an exclusive breastfeeding has been positive health outcomes in the prevention of many chronic diseases in both infant and mother. There are several formulated products available in the market to increase the breast milk. In this review article topics like types of galactagogues, Beliefs and taboos, types of Pre-lacteal feeds, breastfeeding practices, maternal knowledge on breastfeeding and development of products to increase milk production are discussed. Keywords: Breast milk, galactagogues, metoclopramide, domperidone, breastfeeding
Metallic Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Jadhav Nisha Ramesh
Published: February 2022

Abstract: As metallic additive manufacturing grew in many areas, many users have requested greater control over the systems, namely the ability to change the process parameters. The goal of this paper is to review the effects of major process parameters on the quality such as porosity, residual stress, and composition changes and materials properties like microstructure and microsegregation. In this article, we give an overview over the different kinds of metals specially steels in additive manufacturing processes and present their microstructures, their mechanical and corrosion properties, and their heat treatments and their application. Our aim is to detect the microstructures as well as the mechanical and electrochemical properties of metals specially the steels. Steels are subjected during additive manufacturing processing to time-temperature profiles which are very different from the conventional process. We do not describe in detail the additive manufacturing process parameters required to achieve dense parts. We discuss the impact of process parameters on the microstructure, where necessary.

TRATAMIENTO DEL FRACASO RENAL AGUDO EN EL MIELOMA MÚLTIPLE MEDIANTE DIFERENTES TÉCNICAS DE DIÁLISIS: EXPERIENCIA EN UN CENTRO
Authors: Hernández García Elena
Published: February 2022

El mieloma múltiple (MM) es una entidad hematológica caracterizada por una descontrolada proliferación de células plasmáticas con importante cantidad de cadenas ligeras libres en sangre (CLLs), pudiendo desarrollar un fracaso renal agudo (FRA) en más del 20% de pacientes, donde la mitad precisará diálisis. Recientemente han aparecido diferentes membranas de diálisis capaces de aclarar eficazmente las CLLs.

Presentamos nuestra experiencia sobre siete pacientes diagnosticados de MM y FRA tratados con diálisis mediante filtros de high cut off (HCO) y polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA). Cinco de los casos presentaban MM con CLLs kappa y dos CLLs lambda. Se realizaron una media de 6,5 sesiones diarias de 6 horas de duración, utilizando el filtro Theralite de 2,1m2 (Gambro) y filtros BK (Toray) de 2,1 m2. Posteriormente, se continuó a días alternos de igual duración hasta que el paciente recuperó función renal permaneciendo independiente de diálisis o las CLLs fueron menores de 500 mg/L.

El tratamiento se mostró efectivo para eliminar CLLs con un porcentaje medio de disminución de CLLs desde el inicio hasta el final del tratamiento de 91.24%. Seis casos recuperaron función renal permaneciendo independientes de diálisis.

La diálisis larga con estos filtros resultó eficaz para reducir los niveles de CLLs y recuperar un nivel de función renal suficiente en el 85.71% de los casos descritos. El único caso que no respondió asociaba un largo tiempo de evolución previo de la patología. Consideramos fundamental el inicio precoz de la quimioterapia junto con la diálisis con estas membranas especiales para aumentar la supervivencia.
