The fish community in 11 rivers mouths and estuaries in the Region of Valparaiso, was studied between 1999 and 2006. The fish collection was carried out through electro fishing. The conservation status and origin of species was determined. The results showed the presence of 23 species representing 10 orders, 14 families and 18 genera. Fourteen species (68.8%) were found to be native and/or endemic, of which, 12 have conservation problems; Basilichthys microlepidotus is considered endangered, nine are vulnerable and two as inadequately known. In general, introduced species were the most abundant, including Cnesterodon decemmaculatus and Cheirodon interruptus which accounted for 62.7% of all fish collected, followed by the Chilean silverside with 15.6% while 20 other species had a low representation, as it happened with the endemic species Mordacia lapicida, Trichomycterus areolatus, Basilichthy australis and Percilia gillisi. This information will allow to recognize in a better way the effects of the activities to be developed in these ecosystems.
Antecedentes: El asma es una enfermedad crónica de gran impacto en la salud pública y en la calidad de vida de los pacientes. En Latinoamérica existen escasos estudios epidemiológicosObjetivo: Describir la prevalencia del asma y las características clínico-demográficas en una población adulta de un sistema de salud privado de la ciudad de Buenos Aires.Métodos: Estudio de corte transversal de adultos afiliados al programa médico de un sistema de salud privado de Buenos Aires, entre el 1 de enero de 2017 y 1 de enero de 2018, con diagnóstico médico de asma. Resultados: La prevalencia de asma en pacientes adultos de un sistema de salud prepago en la ciudad de Buenos Aires fue de 6 % (n = 66, IC 95 % = 5-7) y de asma grave de 5 % (n = 3 IC 95 % = 1-13) La mayoría de los pacientes presentaron asma intermitente y leve. Conclusión: El estudio aporta nuevos datos sobre la epidemiología del asma en la región.

Asthma is a chronic disease of worldwide prevalence. Having scarce data of asthma and severe asthma in adult population, a study was conducted in a sample set of patients enrolled in a private healthcare institution system in the City of Buenos Aires Argentina. METHODS: Observational, retrospective, cross-sectional study of patients diagnosed according to GINA criteria. Prevalence was estimated with 95% confidence intervals for proportions where the entire set of active patients were used as denominator RESULTS: A total of 1.168 medical records were reviewed. 59% were female of 65 years old on average. Asthma prevalence was 5.6% (CI 4.5-7.0), and severe asthma was 0.2% (CI 0.05-0.74) of the total study population and 4.5% (CI 0.94-12-71) of the asthmatic population. 62% of the asthmatic patients were female and 100% of those with severe asthma were female as well. 42% of patients had mild persistent. 52% had not performed a spirometry in the last year. 11% of the population with asthma had history of smoking. 35% had eosinophil count greater than 300 cells/ ml in the last year. 30% of those with asthma required ERS visits and 3% required hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of asthma and severe asthma observed is comparable to those of the developed countries. Gaps between the recommendations of the current guidelines, including management and phenotyping, were found in population studied. 669 The Relationship Between Family History of Cancer and Prevalence of Asthma and Allergies in Pediatric Patients in an inner-city minority population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
