Deglución y escalas de severidad y funcionalidad para pacientes con disfagia
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2026-10-22) Cynthia Lineth Ramírez Cartagena
El presente documento aborda el proceso de deglución y las principales escalas de severidad y funcionalidad utilizadas en la evaluación de pacientes con disfagia. Se describen las fases de la deglución y herramientas de valoración como DOSS, Cámpora, ASHA NOMS, FOIS, FILS, EDACS y PAS, que permiten identificar el grado de afectación, valorar la funcionalidad durante la alimentación y orientar la toma de decisiones clínicas. Asimismo, se destaca la importancia de estas escalas en la planificación de intervenciones fonoaudiológicas, el seguimiento de la evolución de los pacientes y la definición de estrategias de manejo acordes con sus necesidades. Este documento constituye una guía de consulta para apoyar la práctica clínica y promover una atención integral, segura y fundamentada en la evidencia científica.
Uso del cannabidiol como terapia de manejo alternativa para el dolor crónico asociado a osteoartritis en caninos. Revisión sistemática
(2025-02-20) Giraldo Otalvora, Alejandra; Manzano Erazo, Angela
This review presents a literature analysis on the efficacy, safety and tolerability of
cannabidiol (CBD) in canines with osteoarthritis (OA) pain. A literature search of articles
published in databases such as ScienceDirect, Scopus, Springer, SAGE Journals and PubMed
was performed, and the data obtained were analyzed based on the PRISMA methodology.
Since CBD is a widely studied compound with multiple benefits and important pharmacological
properties, it has attracted the attention of researchers and veterinary practitioners worldwide,
resulting in significant advances in its clinical applications. These advances are due to the
growing knowledge about the functioning of the endocannabinoid system in various animal
species, managing to generate knowledge in several areas of interest such as pain
management. However, despite promising results in several studies, current evidence is still
insufficient to definitively conclude the clinical efficacy of CBD in the treatment of pain
associated with OA.
Eficacia y rapidez en la cicatrización de heridas con miel de abejas en caninos y felinos. Revisión sistemática
(2025-02-20) Monroy Morales, Karen Andrea; Restrepo Santamaría, Nicolle
The use of honey in veterinary medicine has been experiencing a boom in recent years.
However, research on the benefits of this substance is recent and scarce in relation to others.
The present review aimed to compile and analyze the most recent articles available, in order to
verify the efficacy of honey in the treatment and recovery of wounds in dogs and cats. To select
the articles, parameters of language, year of publication and concordance with the main
objective were established. Keywords such as honey, wound, dogs, cats and healing were used.
The search was performed in four databases. The selected publications were systematized in
a matrix, which allowed for a rigorous analysis of the data, as well as a
The selected publications were systematized in a matrix, which allowed a rigorous analysis of
the data, as well as contrasting and classifying the information. The results indicate that honey
possesses physicochemical properties with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and regenerative
potential, which makes it a therapeutic option for the treatment of wounds. Although some commercial pharmaceuticals may show greater efficacy in certain aspects, honey stands out as
an economical and effective alternative. Moreover, when combined with other substances, its
therapeutic effect is enhanced, improving results compared to its isolated use. In addition, when
combined with other substances, its therapeutic effect is enhanced, improving the results
compared to its isolated use. Even so, honey alone has been shown to be effective in the healing
and scarring of lesions, providing positive results in different veterinary contexts. This work
suggests that future research is needed to validate with greater scientific rigor its use and
explore its potential in the development of innovative treatments in veterinary medicine.
Enfermedad periodontal en perros: identificación de etapas, tratamiento y prevención: revisión sistemática
(2025-02-12) Salcedo Alarcon, Nallely; Chaves Obando, María Camila
Dasyprocta punctata is a mammal native to South America that mainly inhabits forests and jungles; however, due
to anthropogenic intervention, this species has demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt to semi-urban
environments with vegetation. The feeding behavior of D. punctata includes the practice of burying seeds during
periods of food abundance, which if not recovered, usually germinate, contributing significantly to reforestation
processes and making the species a key element in maintaining ecosystem balance. In Santiago de Cali, Valle
del Cauca, Colombia, D. punctata can frequently be observed in areas close to water sources, where it finds
shelter and food, however, human interaction has altered its environment and diet, for this reason, the present
study was carried out in a city park, where it was evident that the inhabitants of the sector usually provide food to
individuals of the species. During the research period, observations were made at different times of the day in
order to identify the periods of greatest activity of D. punctata, its interaction with other species and the food
provided, in order to evaluate its nutritional quality. In parallel, a questionnaire was applied to people in the area
with prior knowledge of the species. The results show that the food provided mainly includes Solanum tuberosum
(brown potato), Solanum lycopersycum (tomato) and Daucus carota (carrot). Although there are no detailed
studies on the natural diet of the species, it was determined that these foods lack the essential nutrients for D.
punctata. In addition, much of the available food is in poor condition or in the process of decomposition, which
could have an impact on the health and behavior of individuals of the species. This inadequate diet not only
compromises their well-being, but could also interfere with the natural process of zoochory that they perform,
altering the balance of the ecosystem and the region in the future.
