Enfermedad Inflamatoria Intestinal Canina (EIIC): Factores patogénicos, características clínicas, diagnóstico y tratamiento
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025-12-09) Garcés Ortega, Catalina; Torres Lagos, Néstor Raúl (Director)
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in canines is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder with a multifactorial etiology involving abnormal immune response, alterations in the microbiota, genetic predisposition and environmental influences. This systematic review allows us to analyze current advances in the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies that are available for the management of IBD chronic in canines. Articles with relevant studies were collected from indexed scientific databases, selecting only those that met methodological criteria of high rigor. Diagnostic approaches; histopathological, serological and molecular, as well as emerging treatments including immunosuppressive drugs, antibiotics and specialized diets with probiotics are presented. This review contributes to a better understanding of canine EIIC and provides guidelines for optimizing its diagnosis and subsequent treatment.
Conocimiento comunitario y estrategias sociales para la prevención de anticonceptivos falsificados: Revisión sistemática
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2026) Gómez Guaitarilla, Karen Lizeth; Restrepo Zapata, Jorge Humberto (Director)
One of the crucial public health problems is the counterfeiting of contraceptives, which is linked to risks to sexual and reproductive health, an increase in unintended pregnancies, and the perpetuation of social disparities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Lack of information, the need for discretion, and social stigma are some of the sociocultural factors associated with the counterfeiting of contraceptives. A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines to examine distribution pathways, vulnerabilities, and actions implemented to prevent the use of counterfeit contraceptives in various communities. The spread of products whose legitimacy could not be verified was facilitated because the main channels for distributing counterfeit contraceptives were unregulated pharmacies, illegal markets, and websites. The configuration of vulnerabilities was multidimensional, including economic elements (the inability to afford legitimate contraceptives), social elements (the need for discretion and stigmatization), and cultural elements (evaluation of contraceptive effectiveness based on evident symptoms, such as bleeding). Furthermore, a significant gap was found between the pharmacological properties of contraceptives and community perceptions, which favored the use of counterfeit contraceptives, even those lacking active ingredients. The most effective intervention strategies in resource-scarce contexts were pharmacist training, supervised distribution, and awareness campaigns. At the same time, technological solutions encountered limitations due to the digital divide. Overall, the persistence of the problem stems from the disconnect between formal health systems and cultural and social realities. This demonstrates the need for integrated approaches that link structural, regulatory, and community interventions.

Reforma constitucional y legal en Colombia, la cual honre el estado social de derecho como el garantismo jurídico en la pérdida de derechos políticos, respecto a los servidores públicos de elección popular: un estudio realizado en los grandes municipios del departamento del valle del cauca, vigencias 2004 – 2019
(2026) Arias Grisales, Juan David; Rodríguez Gutiérrez, Andrés (Director)
The Social State governed by the Rule of Law in Colombia seeks to guarantee the protection of human rights by establishing the State’s obligation to create conditions that enable the effective exercise of such rights. However, between 2004 and 2019, a growing loss of political rights has been observed in the major municipalities of Valle del Cauca. In light of this situation, serious questions arise regarding equity and justice in the exercise of political power. This phenomenon is linked to judicial decisions that sanction citizens for serious crimes such as drug trafficking, bribery, among others, and it affects not only individuals but also the democratic and social structure of communities. Accordingly, the general objective of this research is to determine a constitutional and legal reform capable of upholding the Social State governed by the Rule of Law in accordance with the principles of legal guarantees, with respect to the loss of political rights of publicly elected officials.
