The COVID-19 pandemic has been a great challenge for the child population, the abrupt changes in daily life greatly affected their physical and emotional state, generating situations that are probably the cause of an increase in the body mass index (BMI) causing the population to be outside their normal weight range according to age. During and after confinement, children reach levels of overweight and obesity, and even remain within these ranges. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a population of 130 school-age children between 7 and 11 years of age in the municipality of El Cerrito, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, with a sample of 98 children. Outcomes: The results obtained show evidence of how COVID-19 confinement influences the increase of BMI in children. Conclusions: The BMI of children aged 7-11 years before, during and after the pandemic had an important variability with a predominance of a BMI in overweight ranges between the ages of 7 to 11 years and it was proved that parents consider lack of physical activity, stress, anxiety and high carbohydrate diet as triggering factors of the same.

Colistin is a last resort antibiotic which has been reimplemented in clinical practice in order to combat infections by gram-negative and multidrug-resistant bacteria, however, this antibiotic has lost affinity towards this type of bacteria, being caused by the increase and dissemination of strains resistant to this polypeptide. In this work, the antimicrobial activity of colistin encapsulated in nanoliposomes coated with chitosan of medium molecular weight was evaluated against the sensitive Escherichia coli strains, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa sensitive and multidrug resistant strains. Physicochemical properties such as particle size, polydispersity index and zeta potential were determined using Zetasizer nano ZSP. The results for the chitosan-coated systems showed changes in size (from 461.5 nm uncharged to 322.2 nm with colistin), polydispersity index (from 0.219 unloaded to 0.449 with colistin), and zeta potential (from -2.1 mV unloaded). at 15.0 mV with colistin). After encapsulating the colistin, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the formulations was determined by the broth microdilution method for P.a ATCC (27853), sensitive population P.a and resistant P.a. For antimicrobial activity, resistance was obtained in strain No. 2, decrease in minimum inhibitory concentration in strain No. 1, sensitivity in strain No. 3 and population strain (W.t).
Sistema de información y atención al usuario "SIAU", como mecanismo que permite a las instituciones en salud mejorar la calidad de los servicios prestados
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2020-07-16) Urrutia Banguero, Luz Adriana; Kuzner Alvarado, Armando
In Colombia, it has been proposed to improve both the coverage and the quality of the health system. Progressively it has been improving in these two aspects, different tools and guidelines have been adopted to achieve continuous improvement. The objective of this document is to analyze how the User Information Service (SIAU) allows Health Service Provider Institutions (IPS) to improve the quality of the services provided. At the methodological level, a descriptive study with a qualitative approach was used where, through the documentary review, different experiences in which the SIAU has been used to improve user service are analyzed. According to the evidenced results, it is possible to identify that this system provides relevant information for improvements to be adopted through contact with patients or users of health institutions. In order to materialize these improvements, it is essential that management or management take into account the different PQRS, analyze them and formulate specific actions to correct shortcomings. In the long term, the SIAU contributes to the consideration of different elements that constitute the experience of access to health services, since some are related to the contact between officials and users, infrastructure, communication channels, among others, that sometimes go unnoticed.
Efectos del cannabis medicinal relacionado al dolor y al cuidado paliativo
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024-06-07) Villado Garcia, Alexander; Rivera Romero, Viviana
Cannabis is now used medicinally in palliative care to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life in patients with different diseases. Its use is based on reports of analgesic, antiemetic, orexigenic and anxiolytic effects. These effects are attributable to exogenous manipulation of the endocannabinoid system by the biologically active compounds of the plant.
