Prevención de infecciones por Acinetobacter baumannii en la unidad de cuidados intensivos de adultos de un hospital de segundo nivel de atención

GEORGINA ROMERO GENARO (2023, [Otro, Trabajo terminal, especialidad])

El Acinetobacter es un cocobacilo aerobio gramnegativo que se ha descrito desde un

organismo de patogenicidad cuestionable hasta el de un agente infeccioso de gran

importancia hospitalaria en todo el mundo y se presenta en pacientes susceptibles con

mayor frecuencia en las unidades de cuidados intensivos (UCI). En nuestro país existen

estudios relacionado con este microorganismo que sustenta la importancia de la

prevención.

Este trabajo de investigación titulado “Prevención por acinetobacter baumannii en la

unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital de segundo nivel de atención”, tiene como

objetivo prevenir las infecciones asociadas por Acinetobacter baumannii. Mediante tres

variables las cuales son: higiene de manos, limpieza y desinfección de material y equipo

y la técnica de barrera máxima.

Se realizó un estudio de tipo cuantitativo, descriptivo y observacional. La muestra de

estudio está conformada por 30 profesionales de enfermería que se encuentran adscritas

a la UCI. Se realiza una evaluación de conocimientos a través de un instrumento sobre

las medidas de prevención que consta de 10 preguntas con opción multiple donde los

criterios de evaluación son: muy bueno, bueno y deficiente esta medición sustenta la

necesidad de la realización de este estudio. Con respecto al conocimiento que tiene el

personal profesional de enfermería encuestado sobre la eficiencia de las medidas de

prevención por acinetobacter baumannii se obtuvo un indicador de eficiencia general

bueno de un 72%. Los resultados por variable fueron los siguientes: el 80% fue de

conocimiento, el 63% al lavado de manos, 72% corresponde a la limpieza y desinfección

del material y equipo así como por último se obtuvo el 80% en la técnica de barrera

máxima.

Estos resultados nos permiten implementar las medidas preventivas mediante la difusión

con base en la NOM-045-SSA-2015 para la vigilancia epidemiológica, prevención y

control de las infecciones asociadas a la atención de la salud, al personal de enfermería

de la UCI.

Acinetobacter is a gram-negative aerobic coccobacillus that has been described from an

organism of questionable pathogenicity to that of an infectious agent of great hospital

importance worldwide and occurs in susceptible patients more frequently in intensive care

units (ICU). In our country there are studies related to this microorganism that support the

importance of prevention.

This research work entitled "Prevention of Acinetobacter baumannii in the intensive care

unit of a second level care hospital", aims to prevent infections associated with

Acinetobacter baumannii. By means of three variables which are: hand hygiene, cleaning

and disinfection of airway material and equipment and the maximum barrier technique.

A quantitative, descriptive and observational study was carried out. The study sample

consisted of 30 nursing professionals assigned to the ICU. Knowledge was evaluated by

means of an instrument on prevention measures consisting of 10 multiple-choice

questions where the evaluation criteria are: very good, good and deficient, this

measurement supports the need to carry out this study. With respect to the knowledge

that the professional nursing personnel surveyed have about the efficiency of

acinetobacter baumannii prevention measures, a good overall efficiency indicator of 72%

was obtained. The results by variable were as follows: 80% were for knowledge, 63% for

hand washing, 72% for cleaning and disinfection of material and equipment, and 80% for

the maximum barrier technique.

These results allow us to implement preventive measures through dissemination based

on NOM-045-SSA-2015 for epidemiological surveillance, prevention and control of

healthcare-associated infections, to ICU nursing staff.

Inferring cetacean population densities from the absolute dynamic topography of the ocean in a hierarchical bayesian framework

MARIO ANDRES PARDO RUEDA (2015, [Artículo])

We inferred the population densities of blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) and short-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in the Northeast Pacific Ocean as functions of the water-column's physical structure by implementing hierarchical models in a Bayesian framework. This approach allowed us to propagate the uncertainty of the field observations into the inference of species-habitat relationships and to generate spatially explicit population density predictions with reduced effects of sampling heterogeneity. Our hypothesis was that the large-scale spatial distributions of these two cetacean species respond primarily to ecological processes resulting from shoaling and outcropping of the pycnocline in regions of wind-forced upwelling and eddy-like circulation. Physically, these processes affect the thermodynamic balance of the water column, decreasing its volume and thus the height of the absolute dynamic topography (ADT). Biologically, they lead to elevated primary productivity and persistent aggregation of low-trophic-level prey. Unlike other remotely sensed variables, ADT provides information about the structure of the entire water column and it is also routinely measured at high spatial-temporal resolution by satellite altimeters with uniform global coverage. Our models provide spatially explicit population density predictions for both species, even in areas where the pycnocline shoals but does not outcrop (e. g. the Costa Rica Dome and the North Equatorial Countercurrent thermocline ridge). Interannual variations in distribution during El Niño anomalies suggest that the population density of both species decreases dramatically in the Equatorial Cold Tongue and the Costa Rica Dome, and that their distributions retract to particular areas that remain productive, such as the more oceanic waters in the central California Current System, the northern Gulf of California, the North Equatorial Countercurrent thermocline ridge, and the more southern portion of the Humboldt Current System. We posit that such reductions in available foraging habitats during climatic disturbances could incur high energetic costs on these populations, ultimately affecting individual fitness and survival. © 2015, public library of science.

Vibrissa growth rate in California sea lions based on environmental and isotopic oscillations

MARTHA PATRICIA ROSAS HERNANDEZ (2018, [Artículo])

Pinniped vibrissae provide information on changes in diet at seasonal and annual scales; however, species-specific growth patterns must first be determined in order to interpret these data. In this study, a simple linear model was used to estimate the growth rate of vibrissae from adult female California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) from San Esteban Island in the Gulf of California, Mexico. The δ15N and δ13C values do not display a marked oscillatory pattern that would permit direct determination of the time period contained in each vibrissa; thus, time (age) was calculated in two ways: 1) based on the correlation between the observed number of peaks (Fourier series) in the δ15N profile and the length of each vibrissa, and 2) through direct comparison with the observed number of peaks in the δ15N profile. Cross-correlation confirmed that the two peaks in the δ15N profile reflected the two peaks in the chlorophyll-a concentration recorded annually around the island. The mean growth rate obtained from the correlation was 0.08 ± 0.01 mm d-1, while that calculated based on the observed number of peaks was 0.10 ± 0.05 mm d-1. Both are consistent with the rates reported for adult females of other otariid species (0.07 to 0.11 mm d-1). Vibrissa growth rates vary by individual, age, sex, and species; moreover, small differences in the growth rate can result in significant differences over the time periods represented by the isotopic signal. Thus, it is important to assess this parameter on a species-by-species basis. © 2018 Rosas-Hernández et al.

Desde su arribo a las islas, Colón estaba convencido de estar en las cercanías de Cipango, nada parecía convencerlo de lo contrario; todo lo que observa lo interpreta desde su convicción de estar en Asia. En el primer apartado de este capítulo se intentará demostrar tomando como referencia los escritos del propio Cristóbal Colón que éste consultó cartas de navegación, esferas e incluso tenía la firme intención de realizar una carta de navegación con el fin de mostrar la ubicación de Cipango. El segundo apartado refiere al hecho de que la única fuente documental sobre Cipango de la cual se tenía noticia dependía exclusivamente de narraciones de Marco Polo y se debatirá si Colón conoció o no dichos relatos.

Offshore wind energy climate projection using UPSCALE climate data under the RCP8.5 emission scenario

MARKUS SEBASTIAN GROSS (2016, [Artículo])

In previous work, the authors demonstrated how data from climate simulations can be utilized to estimate regional wind power densities. In particular, it was shown that the quality of wind power densities, estimated from the UPSCALE global dataset in offshore regions of Mexico, compared well with regional high resolution studies. Additionally, a link between surface temperature and moist air density in the estimates was presented. UPSCALE is an acronym for UK on PRACE (the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe)-weather-resolving Simulations of Climate for globAL Environmental risk. The UPSCALE experiment was performed in 2012 by NCAS (National Centre for Atmospheric Science)- Climate, at the University of Reading and the UK Met Office Hadley Centre. The study included a 25.6-year, five-member ensemble simulation of the HadGEM3 global atmosphere, at 25km resolution for present climate conditions. The initial conditions for the ensemble runs were taken from consecutive days of a test configuration. In the present paper, the emphasis is placed on the single climate run for a potential future climate scenario in the UPSCALE experiment dataset, using the Representation Concentrations Pathways (RCP) 8.5 climate change scenario. Firstly, some tests were performed to ensure that the results using only one instantiation of the current climate dataset are as robust as possible within the constraints of the available data. In order to achieve this, an artificial time series over a longer sampling period was created. Then, it was shown that these longer time series provided almost the same results than the short ones, thus leading to the argument that the short time series is sufficient to capture the climate. Finally, with the confidence that one instantiation is sufficient, the future climate dataset was analysed to provide, for the first time, a projection of future changes in wind power resources using the UPSCALE dataset. It is hoped that this, in turn, will provide some guidance for wind power developers and policy makers to prepare and adapt for climate change impacts on wind energy production. Although offshore locations around Mexico were used as a case study, the dataset is global and hence the methodology presented can be readily applied at any desired location. © Copyright 2016 Gross, Magar.

Transición de leña a gas licuado a presión (GLP) en el sur de México, oportunidad para la mitigación del cambio climático en la región menos desarrollada del país

Transition from biomass to LP gas in southern Mexico, an opportunity for climate change mitigation in the least developed region in the country

Elio Guarionex Lagunes Díaz María Eugenia González Rosende Alfredo Ortega Rubio (2015, [Artículo])

"En los estados del sur de México, entre un 25% y un 55% de los hogares dependen de la leña para cocinar, lo cual trae consecuencias en el ambiente, el desarrollo y la salud. No obstante, el conocimiento de estas consecuencias y la migración hacia combustibles modernos ha permanecido relegada de las políticas de desarrollo. En este trabajo, partiendo de una descripción del panorama de uso de leña en el país y su importancia como fuente de energía, se presenta una aproximación para estimar ahorros en emisiones de CO2 logrables por la transición a gas licuado a presión (GLP), los cuales pueden alcanzar 3.14 Mt CO2e, 26% menos que el escenario base. Se finaliza con una discusión de la transición hacia combustibles modernos, las barreras que la impiden y los logros y fallos de la distribución de estufas ahorradoras de leña, la principal iniciativa gubernamental para aliviar el consumo de leña en el país."

"Between 25% and 55% of households in southern Mexico depend on biomass for cooking, which carries serious consequences on the environment, development and health. In spite of the knowledge of these consequences, transition from biomass to modern fuels has remained outside energy and development policies. In the present work, after describing the panorama of fuelwood use in the country and its importance as an energy source, an approach is presented for estimating CO2 savings achievable by transition to pressurized liquefied gas (LP). These savings can reach 3.14 Mt CO2e, 26% less than the baseline scenario. At the end we discuss on the transition to modern fuels in Mexico, the barriers that hinder it and the achievements and failures of the distribution of fuelwood saving cookstoves, as the only and most important governmental initiative to alleviate biomass use, comparing it with other priorities in the government's agenda."

Discussion on sustainable water technologies for peri-urban areas of Mexico City: balancing urbanization and environmental conservation

EDUARDO LOPEZ RAMIREZ JOSE LUIS MARTINEZ RUIZ DANIEL MURILLO LICEA (2012, [Artículo])

This paper shows and demonstrates examples of different types of sustainable technologies that can be implemented in the peri-urban areas of Mexico City [rainwater harvesting, EcoSan and biofiltros (small constructed wetlands), and (vermi-)composting]. An innovative participatory planning method, combining scenario development with a participatory planning workshop with key stakeholders, was applied and resulted in three concept scenarios. Specific technologies were then selected for each concept scenario that the technical feasibility and applicability was assessed. Following this, the resulting resource flows (nutrients, water and energy) were determined and analyzed. The results show that decentralized technologies not only have the potential to deliver adequate water supply, sanitation and solid waste services in peri-urban areas and lessen environmental pollution, but also can recover significant amounts of resources thereby saving costs and providing valuable inputs in, for instance, the agricultural sector. Social acceptance of the technologies and institutional cooperation, however, is key for successful implementation.

Conjuntos de dinoflagelados del Cretácico Inferior de Colombia

Assemblages of dinoflagellate from the Lower Cretaceous of Colombia

Maribel Reyes Tixteco (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

Los dinoflagelados se usan como indicadores en investigaciones ecológicas y son uno de los principales causantes de toxicidad en florecimientos algales nocivos (FANs). Estas microalgas producen quistes resistentes y fosilizables, los cuales son muy útiles como indicadores bioestratigráficos y paleoecológicos. Los dinoflagelados del Cretácico han sido ampliamente estudiados en estratos de latitudes medias y altas, pero los conjuntos tropicales casi no han sido estudiados. Para ayudar a remediar esta falta de conocimiento, se estudiaron cuantitativamente y cualitativamente el contenido de dinoflagelados de 50 muestras de núcleos de los pozos ANH-CR-MONTECARLO-1X y ANH-CON-06-ST-S, localizados en Colombia. La edad de la sedimentación en ambos pozos se interpreta como Albiano, aunque hay un poco de incertidumbre en la edad de inicio. Los taxones heterotróficos tienen menor riqueza de especies, pero presentan mayor abundancia, mientras que los autótrofos tienen mayor riqueza de especies pero menor abundancia. En el pozo ANH-CR-MONTECARLO-1X se identificaron 20 géneros y 24 especies, con altos valores de concentración total de 1,441.00 qst / gr sed, en la muestra IIES-PALY-6015 por la presencia de Subtilisphaera y 1,036.88 en la muestra IIES-PALY-6021 dominada por Muderongia. Dichas muestras son correlacionables con dos transgresiones marinas, del Albiano tardío (104.4 Ma) y el Albiano temprano (111 Ma) respectivamente. Además, indican que los ensamblajes de quistes en este pozo, están dominados por formas Peridinoideas y Ceratioideas. En el pozo ANH-CON-06-ST-S se encontraron 16 géneros y 15 especies, con un valor máximo de 3,539.62 qst / gr sed en la muestra IIES-PALY-5995 por el alto contenido de Subtilisphaera, y correlacionable con la transgresión marina del Albiano tardío (104.4 Ma). Los ensamblajes de quistes en este pozo, están dominados por las formas Peridinoideas. La litología y el contenido de palinomorfos de los pozos indican un ambiente nerítico interno (NI) a transicional (T), con mayor aporte de terrígenos en el pozo ANH-CON-06-ST-S. Se propone un clima cálido para el Cretácico Inferior por la alta diversidad de taxones autótrofos característicos de aguas cálidas y estratificadas.

Dinoflagellates produce resistant and fossilizable cysts, which are useful as biostratigraphic and paleoecological indicators. These microalgae are used as indicators in ecological studies and are one of the main causes of toxicity in harmful algal blooms (HABs). Cretaceous dinoflagellates have been extensively studied in mid- and high-latitude strata, but tropical assemblages have hardly been studied. To help remedy this lack of knowledge, the dinoflagellate content of 50 core samples from the ANH-CR-MONTECARLO-1X and ANH-CON-06-ST-S wells, located in Colombia, were quantitatively and qualitatively studied. The age of sedimentation in both wells is interpreted as Albian, although there is some uncertainty in the beginning of the depositional age. Heterotrophic taxa have lower species richness but higher abundance, while autotrophs have higher species richness but lower abundance. In the ANH-CR-MONTECARLO-1X well, 20 genera and 24 species were identified, with high total concentration values of 1,441.00 cst / gr sed, in the IIES-PALY-6015 sample, due to the presence of Subtilisphaera and 1,036.88 in the IIES sample -PALY-6021, dominated by Muderongia. These samples are correlable with two marine transgressions, from the late Albian (104.4 Ma) and early Albian (111 Ma) respectively. Furthermore, they indicate that the cyst assemblages in this well are dominated by hetrotrophic forms. In the ANH-CON-06-ST-S well, 16 genera and 15 species were found, with a maximum value of 3,539.62 qst / gr sed in the IIES-PALY-5995 sample due to the high content of Subtilisphaera, and correlated with the transgression marina from the late Albian (104.4 Ma). The cyst assemblages in this well are also dominated by the heterotrophic forms. The lithology and palynomorph content of the wells indicate an internal neritic (NI) to transitional (T) environment, with a higher terrigenous influx in the ANH-CON-06-ST-S well. A warm climate is proposed for the Lower Cretaceous due to the high diversity of autotrophic taxa characteristic of warm and stratified waters.

Phylogenetic relationships of Pseudo-nitzschia subpacifica (Bacillariophyceae) from the Mexican Pacific, and its production of domoic acid in culture

Sonia Quijano (2020, [Artículo])

Pseudo-nitzschia is a cosmopolitan genus, some species of which can produce domoic acid (DA), a neurotoxin responsible for the Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP). In this study, we identified P. subpacifica for the first time in Todos Santos Bay and Manzanillo Bay, in the Mexican Pacific using SEM and molecular methods. Isolates from Todos Santos Bay were cultivated under conditions of phosphate sufficiency and deficiency at 16°C and 22°C to evaluate the production of DA. This toxin was detected in the particulate (DAp) and dissolved (DAd) fractions of the cultures during the exponential and stationary phases of growth of the cultures. The highest DA concentration was detected during the exponential phase grown in cells maintained in P-deficient medium at 16°C (1.14 ± 0.08 ng mL-1 DAd and 4.71 ± 1.11 × 10−5 ng cell-1 of DAp). In P-sufficient cultures DA was higher in cells maintained at 16°C (0.25 ± 0.05 ng mL-1 DAd and 9.41 ± 1.23 × 10−7 ng cell-1 of DAp) than in cells cultured at 22°C. Therefore, we confirm that P. subpacifica can produce DA, especially under P-limited conditions that could be associated with extraordinary oceanographic events such as the 2013–2016 "Blob" in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. This event altered local oceanographic conditions and possibly generated the presence of potential harmful species in areas with economic importance on the Mexican Pacific coast. © 2020 Quijano-Scheggia et al.
