Lithopedion (lithos = rock and paidion = child) is a rare condition that only occurs in 1.5 to 1.8% of extrauterine pregnancies and in 0.00045% of all pregnancies. It consists of an ectopic pregnancy in which the fetus dies but cannot be reabsorbed by the mother's body, which then coats it in a calcium-rich substance. We present the case of a 77-year-old woman with an incidental diagnosis of a lithopedion, which had been retained in her left pelvis for presumably 40 years.
La migración es un fenómeno que ha sido estudiado de forma constante en la actualidad, su interés estriba fundamentalmente en que es sufrido por millares de personas que buscando satisfacer sus necesidades básicas deciden partir a otras latitudes. La causa principal del éxodo son las crisis institucionales derivadas de políticas de gobierno y medidas económicas que generan un detrimento en la sociedad. Venezuela se ha convertido en este último tiempo en el referente de una migración masiva. Por consiguiente, países como Colombia han diseñado políticas públicas encaminadas a regularizar la migración a través de la expedición de decretos nacionales y locales, además de sentencias de la corte constitucional, para garantizar su permanencia, acceso a la salud, educación y nacionalidad. En este sentido el presente artículo aborda este panorama desde la óptica jurídica, social y política. La metodología es histórica retrospectiva, el enfoque es cualitativo, de tipo documental de campo; en consecuencia se delimita su estudio al municipio de Sabanalarga-Atlántico, por ser receptor de migrantes con y sin arraigo.
This protocol details the indoor active search carried out in the research project: "Spatial stratification of dengue based on the identification of risk factors: a pilot trial in Cauca, Colombia" Previous studies have reported that, indoors, adult Aedes aegypti mosquitoes rest on surfaces such as walls and furniture and generally at a height of less than 1.5 m (Dzul-Manzanilla et al., 2016 & Chadee, 2013). The use of electromechanical aspirators such as the Prokopack aspirator has also been reported (Vazquez-Prokopec et al., 2009) which allows for a relatively easy collection of resting mosquitoes. STEPS: 1) Mosquito collection: Adult mosquitoes will be captured with the Prokopack aspirator at potential resting places inside the dwellings (walls, curtains, behind furniture, behind pictures, behind TV sets, under beds), between AM and PM. Collection shall be carried out for 10-15 minutes inside the household (bedrooms and living rooms). As information of interest for the sampling, most of the houses in the urban areas of Piamonte, Patía and Miranda, Cauca are one-storey houses, but there are also houses with two or even three floors. The walls are generally made of brick plus plaster (a mixture to cover a wall), the roof is made of clay tiles and the floors are made of cement; however, there are more precarious dwellings built with wood walls and roofs (Alcaldía de Patía, 2016). 2) In each household, an e-form designed using ArcGIS 10.8 will be completed with data on the location of the household, predominant construction materials and the results of entomological sampling for adults. 3) Storage of mosquitoes: Collected mosquitoes can be immobilised with chloroform vapour (by placing them Prokopack collection bottle in a plastic bag with cotton wool soaked in chloroform). 4) Mosquitoes should be stored carefully and kept cold at until identification. The vials shall be labelled with the main data such as locality code, house code and date of collection. 4) Pooling: Collected females identified as Ae. aegypti will be pooled in pools of a maximum of 10 adult female mosquitoes per vial with buffer RNA Later® (Dos-reis et al., 2019). The cold chain will be maintained until reaching the INS Entomology Laboratory for subsequent RNA extraction (Pérez-Castro et al.¸2016 & Pham et al., 2017).
Assessment has long been regarded as an integral part of the learning process. In the field of assessment, washback effect is understood as the impact of tests (or any assessment procedure) on the learner, the learning process, teachers, or such like. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to determine the washback effect of two different types of assessment procedures, namely, a traditional test and an alternative assessment procedure (a project) in an intact sample of 32 seventhgrade students, from a subsidised school in Chile. Through a mix-methods approach, quantitative data were gathered through a self-reported-washback survey, administered after a traditional test was given to the participants and after an English language project was carried out; qualitative data regarding the perceived effects caused by the test and the language project were gathered through a focus group interview. A series of t-tests was performed for quantitative data gathered through the washback surveys, while content analysis was used for the qualitative data emerging from the focus group interview. The results suggest that both procedures are positively valued, with the alternative assessment pro-* Licenciada en Educación y Profesora de Inglés. Magíster en TESOL,
Este trabajo pretende analizar cómo se gesta la visión de paz en el Estado constitucional colombiano, desde la perspectiva de la corte constitucional, como máximo órgano de cierre, el cual se arroga la función interpretativa de los derechos fundamentales, valorando los principios constitucionales que subyacen en la carta magna. En este sentido, el derecho a la paz ha sido enriquecido desde lo axiológico e interpretativo, lo cual permite la concreción de derechos y las condiciones jurídicas pertinentes para solucionar el conflicto por medios no violentos, como corolario ha sido esta corporación la encargada de revisar y ejercer control de los decretos, leyes y actos legislativos en relación al proceso de paz. No se puede desconocer que la sociedad colombiana ha estado expuesta a estructuras violentas, por tanto, las condiciones de la negociación pueden generar una percepción de desconfianza e impunidad, para ello, es necesario iniciar procesos de socialización de medios alternos de solución de conflictos, a través del ejercicio sistemático del diálogo, el consenso y la cooperación; con el fin de que estos permeen en la cultura y rompan los paradigmas de violencia. Esta investigación es de tipo descriptivo con un enfoque cualitativo, se recurre a estudios que contextualizan el concepto de paz como un derecho humano, seguidamente se acude a las decisiones de la corte constitucional desde su función argumentativa y reflexiva; Como corolario, se identifican los aspectos de mayor significancia en un Estado que se encuentra forjando un camino político, jurídico y social de transición hacia la paz.
