Authors: Piragauta-V Natalia , Casallas-M Ana Lucia , Buitrago-E María Teresa 
Published: November 2024

Objective: To describe the progress on the right to health of people with disabilities in Colombia and other countries in Latin America. Materials and Methods: A review of the available documents covering the right to health for disabled population in Latin America, published between 2010 and 2020 was carried out. Results: It was found that there is a noticeable heterogeneity in the conception and approach of the documentation found to address the right to health on population with disabilities, partly due to the conception of disability, which continues being a biomedical approach rather than the biopsychosocial approach. Conclusions: The right to health is one of the most violated one in the disabling population, affected by restrictions such as barriers to access for services and by the non-coverage of needs, therefore, affecting quality of life and provoking its declining. The contribution of this review is to persist on the need to move forward in a coordinated and consensual way standardizing criteria allowing exhaustive diagnoses and to unify the regional perspective regarding this issue, enabling a dynamic vision including changes over time, in the coverage of this right as well.
Síndrome Poliglandular Autoinmune: Revisión de una condición clínica subestimada
Authors: Dulcey S Luis Andrés , Theran Juan Sebastián , Caltagirone Raimondo 
Published: November 2024

Objective: Literature review about the autoimmune polyglandular syndrome from the epidemiological and clinical-therapeutic point of view. Materials and Methods: A detailed scientific literature searching was done from the last 30 years including the terms Autoimmune Diseases, Endocrinology, Genetics, Genetic Counseling, autoimmune polyglandular syndrome through the Pubmed database. 50 references in English of the greatest impact were selected. Results: Polyglandular autoimmune syndromes are multifactorial diseases with at least two coexisting autoimmune-mediated endocrinopathies. In most endocrinopathies, the autoimmune process causes an irreversible loss of glandular function. Juvenile or type I is monogenetically inherited, while in adult patients several susceptibility polymorphism genes occur. This is relevant for a timely diagnosis at early stages in the detection of polyglandular autoimmunity in patients with monogranular autoimmune disease and/or patients with polyglandular autoimmune syndrome with first-degree relatives. In adults, the most prevalent form is the combination of type 1 diabetes with autoimmune thyroid disease. Conclusions Early detection of specific autoantibodies and specific latent risk organ dysfunction is recommended to alert those who manage this type of patients, as well as an appropriate genetic counseling.
Trastorno por estrés post traumático: Efecto neuropsiquiátrico del conflicto armado en Colombia
Authors: Zapata Suárez Zakira 
Published: November 2024

Objetivo: Analizar desde la neuropsiquiatría el efecto del conflicto armado y violencia en los últimos 50 años sobre la salud mental de los residentes en zonas en conflicto. Metodología: El tipo de estudio es descriptivo retrospectivo utilizando la estrategia de revisión bibliográfica. Se utilizó como población de referencia información localizada en 18 libros, 12 bases de datos, 154 artículos, revistas, 37 informes y 64 registros web de sitios oficiales. Resultados: El estrés post traumático de las personas residentes en áreas de conflicto armado es un efecto que tiene fundamentada su base en las teorías neurobiológicas relativas a la actividad o rol de la corteza cerebral, por cuanto la exposición continuada al estresor altera la conectividad funcional y la sincronización (neuroadaptación, neuroinflamación, cambios metabólicos y estructurales a nivel de la corteza cerebral), todo lo cual altera el sistema neural generando disturbios funcionales en la secuencia de las actividades mentales con lo cual se presentan las manifestaciones de las alteraciones en la conducta. Conclusiones: Bajo la exposición a riesgos de morir o de ver morir a otros, los sistemas de interacción ambiente-individuo son percibidos como negativos, lo cual altera la bioquímica y funcionamiento corporal perjudicando la prospección de los individuos al ser éstos dinámicos, permanentes y bidireccionales
Technology Readiness Level and Self-Reported Health in Recipients of an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator: Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Rosenmeier Natasha , Busk David , Dichman Camilla , Nielsen Kim Mechta , Kayser Lars , Wagner Mette Kirstine 
Published: November 2024

Background
Approximately 200,000 implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are implanted annually worldwide, with around 20% of recipients experiencing significant psychological distress. Despite this, there are no ICD guidelines addressing mental health as part of rehabilitation programs, which primarily focus on educating patients about their condition and prognosis. There is a need to include elements such as emotional distress, social interactions, and the future use of technologies like apps and virtual communication in ICD rehabilitation, without increasing the burden on health care professionals.

Objective
This study aimed to demonstrate how data from the Readiness for Health Technology Index (READHY), combined with sociodemographic characteristics and exploratory interviews, can be used to construct profiles of recipients of an ICD, describing their ability to manage their condition, their need for support, and their digital health literacy. This aims to enhance health care professionals’ understanding of different patient archetypes, serving as guidance in delivering personalized services tailored to the needs, resources, and capabilities of individual recipients of ICDs.

Methods
Overall, 79 recipients of an ICD participated in a survey assessing technology readiness using the READHY. The survey also collected sociodemographic data such as age, sex, and educational level. Self-reported health was measured using a Likert scale. Cluster analysis categorized participants into profiles based on their READHY scores. Correlations between READHY scores and self-reported health were examined. In addition, qualitative interviews with representatives from different readiness profiles provided deeper insights.

Results
Four technology readiness profiles were found: (1) profile 1 (low digital health literacy, insufficient on 5 dimensions), (2) profile 2 (sufficient on all dimensions), (3) profile 3 (consistently sufficient readiness on all dimensions), and (4) profile 4 (insufficient readiness on 9 dimensions). Participants in profile 4, characterized by the lowest readiness levels, were significantly younger (P=.03) and had lower self-reported health (P<.001) than those in profile 3. A correlation analysis revealed that higher READHY scores were associated with better self-reported health across all dimensions. Qualitative interviews highlighted differences in self-management approaches and the experience of support between profiles, emphasizing the essential role of social support toward the rehabilitation journeys of recipients of an ICD. Two patient vignettes were created based on the characteristics from the highest and lowest profiles.

Conclusions
Using the READHY instrument to create patient profiles demonstrates how it can be used to make health care professionals aware of specific needs within the group of recipients of an ICD.

Pembungaan memegang peranan penting bagi tumbuhan karena memfasilitasi rekombinasi genetik, sehingga mendukung perkembangan keragaman genetik yang penting. Keluarga protein phosphatidylethanolamine binding proteins (PEBP) memainkan peran penting dalam mengatur waktu pembungaan dan dormansi benih di beragam spesies tanaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang vektor biner dengan membangun pCAMBIA1300 yang menggabungkan rangkaian gen EgHd3a dari kelapa sawit. Proses konstruksi gen meliputi ekstraksi RNA, sintesis cDNA, amplifikasi gen EgHd3a, kloning gen menjadi vektor kloning, subkloning ke dalam vektor biner pCAMBIA1300, dan diakhiri dengan validasi gen melalui analisis sekuens. Pada ekstraksi RNA, metode PCL-Chisam telah terbukti efektif melalui ekstraksi berulang, meningkatkan kualitas dan kuantitas total RNA. Dalam proses kloaning, metode konvensional menghadapi tantangan dalam memilih lokasi pembelahan yang tepat. Untuk mengatasi kendala ini, penggunaan enzim dengan overhang yang kompatibel diusulkan sebagai solusi potensial. Secara khusus, penggantian BamHI dari BglII telah secara efektif mengatasi tantangan ini. Konfirmasi integrasi fragmen gen ke dalam plasmid pCAMBIA1300 dicapai melalui pengurutan. Meskipun perbedaan diidentifikasi dalam rangkaian EgHd3a-2, perubahan ini tidak berdampak pada asam amino yang dikodekan, sehingga menjaga integritas rangkaian protein

Remains of a Diplodocid (Sauropoda: Flagellicaudata) from the Otlaltepec Formation Middle Jurassic (Bathonian-Callovian) from Puebla, Mexico
Authors: Rivera-Sylva Héctor E. , Espinosa-Arrubarrena Luis 
Published: November 2024

Fieldwork in the late 1980s in the Otlaltepec Formation Middle Jurassic (Bathonian-Callovian) of southern Puebla resulted in the recovery of the first osteological record of a Flagellicaudata dinosaur from Mexico and the southern-most for North America. The material is represented by metatarsal fragments of the right pes, showing autapomorphies in metatarsal II for Flagellicaudata. The available material is incomplete and the sample remains small, but it suggests the possible presence of a new taxon. This specimen provides data on the distribution and diversity of sauropod dinosaurs of southern North America during the Middle Jurassic.

Authors: Moreno-Bedmar Josep Anton , Company Miquel , Guerrero-Suastegui Martin 
Published: November 2024

Se reporta por vez primera en México el género Juandurhamiceras mediante el estudio de un ammonite colectado hace más de un siglo en Campo Morado, Municipio de Arcelia, estado de Guerrero. Se presenta una ilustración de este ammonite del Aptiano superior, que nunca había sido figurado previamente, y se complementa con la elaboración de un modelo 3D. El ammonite, que se identifica como Juandurhamiceras sp., es posiblemente una especie nueva pero las condiciones no son adecuadas para su descripción. Para una descripción fundamentada de esta potencial nueva especie sería necesario recolectar más ejemplares, pero la situación de inseguridad del área de Campo Morado lo imposibilita. Hasta ahora, el género Juandurhamiceras era únicamente conocido en Colombia, lo que sugiere una fuerte afinidad de las faunas del área de Campo Morado con los ammonites colombianos a través de una conexión por el océano Pacífico.

Published: November 2024

El Museo Geológico Comunitario de Rosario Nuevo “Ing. Jorge Jiménez Rentería” (MURNO) es un museo de sitio con casi 15 años de trabajo, tiempo en el que ha logrado fomentar y consolidar la protección del patrimonio paleontológico que alberga la población de Rosario Nuevo, Tezoatlán de Segura y Luna, Oaxaca. A pesar de ello, el conocimiento taxonómico de los ejemplares que resguarda es incipiente y desactualizado. Pocos ejemplares han recibido un estudio sistemático cuyo resultado fuese publicados en años recientes. No obstante, la riqueza potencial, principalmente del Jurásico Inferior/Medio, que alberga tanto el museo como la localidad, es alta. El objetivo de este trabajo es dar a conocer los avances en la identificación taxonómica de ejemplares de órganos reproductivos del orden de las Bennettitales con el fin de contribuir a la documentación básica y gráfica del acervo del MURNO, así como resaltar y ejemplificar el valor científico, cultural y social de los museos comunitarios. Se revisaron un total de 14 ejemplares correspondientes a órganos reproductivos de Bennettitales, 12 de ellos corresponden a órganos femeninos, seis al fosiligénero Williamsonia con las fosiliespecies W. netzahualcoyotlii, W. oaxacensis, y Williamsonia sp., dos ejemplares corresponden a Wielandiella sp., y cuatro al género non-committal de Bennetticarpus. Solo dos ejemplares corresponden a Weltrichia, fosiligénero asignado a órganos reproductivos masculinos y se presenta la descripción sistemática de Weltrichia huitzilopochtlii comb. nov. Todos ellos de la formación Rosario del Jurásico Inferior (Toarciano). Esta primera clasificación taxonómica permitirá complementar la documentación básica de los ejemplares que resguarda el MURNO. Esto ayudará a seguir consolidando el reconocimiento y la protección del patrimonio paleontológico en la región. Los museos comunitarios no deben ser olvidados por investigadores, académicos ni autoridades gubernamentales ya que funcionan como sitios de protección y divulgación del conocimiento geológico y paleontológico.
Bonefish (Elopomorpha, Albuliformes) remains from Late Cretaceous outcrops of San Carlos Quarry, Coahuila, Northern Mexico: evidence of a new giant Teleost in the Western Interior Seaway
Authors: Magno Cantalice Kleyton , Porras-Múzquiz Hector , De Mayrinck Diogo , Alvarado-Ortega Jesús 
Published: November 2024

The discovery of suspensorium bones, comprising the hyomandibular and metapterygoid, indicates the presence of a giant species belonging to the order Albuliformes in the Late Cretaceous outcrops of Northern Coahuila. The taxonomic designation in the order Albuliformes is due to the presence of the metapterygoid cup, a postero-dorsal concavity on the metapterygoid bone which, together with its articulation with the hyomandibular, composes the hyomandibular-metapterygoid fenestra. Although the function of this structure has been debated, its presence represents a diagnostic feature for both fossil and extant Albuliformes species. Comparing the hyomandibular-metapterygoid fenestra with other bonefish is evidence that this structure is quite variable inside the order. The hyomandibular length indicates that this specimen measured approximately 3.9 meters in length, which represents three times the size of †Farinichthys gigas, the largest bonefish known to date, collected in Paleocene outcrops from Brazil. This taxon represents a new giant form inside the Western Interior Seaway, which differs from the other large teleostean fishes of this ancient sea for being a secondary consumer.

Authors: Villaseñor Ana Bertha , Olóriz Federico 
Published: November 2024

At least thirty-seven fossil taxa and one mineral have been published in honor of Carl Burckhardt (1869-1935), who was a swizz paleontologist mainly dedicated to the study of ammonite and bivalve faunas from Jurassic and Cretaceous ages. There are three genera (Burckhardtites Humprey, 1949, Burckhardticeras Olóriz, 1978; Burckhardtieia Villaseñor and Olóriz, 2019); one subgenus (Burckhardtia Frech, 1907); thirty-one species and one subspecies denominated burckhardti from different taxonomic groups—radiolaria, coelenterata, brachiopoda, mollusca (gastropoda, cephalopoda, bivalvia), echinodermata, crustacea—and one mineral named Burckhardtite. Here, we present the original diagnosis (or description), data from the type, age and localities for all these fossils and the mineral.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Subject and purpose of work
Cooperatives offer significant opportunities for economic empowerment of people in difficult economic climates. However, concerns exist in literature on the efficiency level of these organisations in relation to members’ deposits and financial-related factors. This study analysed the influence of members’ deposits and related financial factors on the efficiency level of cooperative organisations.

Materials and methods
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Tobit regression model were used to analyse the secondary data collected from 99 cooperative organisations over 7 years.

Results
Empirical results indicate a low level of efficiency below 50%. Further evidence from Tobit regression identified the significant effect of loan (β = 2.05, t = 3.41, p < 0.01), interest rate (β = 1.07, t = 2.16, p < 0.05), surplus (p < 0.05), expenses (p < 0.01), cooperative age (p < 0.01) and saving deposits (p < 0.10) on cooperative efficiency.

Conclusions
The efficiency level of cooperatives is low, and the contribution of deposits is also negative, but potential to raise the level of efficiency exists with organisational management of loans and interest rates. Increasing cooperative efficiency is imperative to achieve the expected economic support from organisations.
