    Title translation Basic clinical characteristics in the first 100 fatal cases of COVID-19 in Colombia.
    Abstract The basic clinical characteristics of the first 100 fatal cases from COVID-19 in Colombia were analyzed based on reports from the National Institute of Health (INS) since the beginning of the pandemic. Since the INS records do not include clinical variables of comorbidity in the total number of cases reported as positive, but only in patients with fatal outcome, comorbidities, age and sex available in the daily INS reports were reviewed. Their frequency was identified and mortality risk behavior for the analyzed variables was established and compared with the behavior described in the international literature. Of the 100 cases, 63 were male, the mean age was 65.75 ± 18.11 years, and in 22 of them no comorbidity had been reported. The most frequently reported comorbidities were arterial hypertension (35%), diabetes mellitus (21%), cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (19%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (16%), obesity (12%), smoking (9%) and thyroid disease (8%). Patients over 60 years of age presented a higher risk of mortality (OR 10.31, IC95% 6.67-15.94, p < 0.0001). Ten percent of the deceased patients were under 60 years of age and did not present comorbidity.

    Abstract Se analizaron las características clínicas básicas de los primeros 100 casos de fallecimientos por COVID-19 en Colombia con base en los reportes del Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS) desde el inicio de la pandemia. Dado que el registro del INS no toma en cuenta las variables clínicas de comorbilidad en el total de los casos reportados como positivos, sino solo en los pacientes con desenlace mortal, se revisaron la patología concomitante, la edad y el sexo disponibles en los reportes diarios del INS. Se identificó su frecuencia y se intentó establecer el comportamiento de riesgo de mortalidad para las variables analizables (OR), y se comparó con el comportamiento descrito en la literatura internacional. De los 100 casos, 63 fueron de sexo masculino, el promedio de edad fue 65,75 ± 18,11 años y en 22 de ellos no se había reportado comorbilidad. Las patologías informadas con más frecuencia fueron hipertensión arterial (35%), diabetes mellitus (21%), enfermedades cardiovasculares y cerebrovasculares (19%), enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (16%), obesidad (12%), tabaquismo (9%) y patología tiroidea (8%). Los pacientes mayores de 60 años presentaron un mayor riesgo de mortalidad (OR 10,31, IC95% 6,67-15,94, p < 0,0001). El 10% de los pacientes fallecidos eran menores de 60 años y no presentaban comorbilidad.

    Abstract Penguin colonies significantly influence the distribution and diversity of vegetation communities in Maritime Antarctica, as they serve as vital sources of nutrients for both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Remote sensing techniques are becoming increasingly common for monitoring these vast Antarctic areas, especially with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) imagery, which provides the highest spatial resolutions to date. In fact, the use of hyperspectral (HS) sensors is crucial for accurately identifying and distinguishing between the main ground characteristics and vegetation communities in an Antarctic penguin colony, making this study one of the first UAV-based HS approaches to our knowledge. Consequently, this study provides a spectral library covering the entire spectral range from 400 to 2500 nm for the five main vegetation communities found at Hannah Point penguin colony (Livingston Island, Antarctica). Through this library, two valuable wavelength regions have been identified for distinguishing these communities based on pigments composition, specifically in the green (495–570 nm) and near-infrared (800–900 nm) ranges, that served as a reference for validating the results using 35 ground reference spectrometry data collected in 1667 wavelength bands within the 320–876 nm range. In addition, the supervised classification approach known as the “Spectral Angle Mapper” has been employed to monitor the coverage of each vegetation community based on the information provided by the aforementioned spectral library. The observed ecological gradient, which reveals an increase in vegetation complexity away from the high-nutrient content guano areas, highlights the influence of guano on the distribution of the main vegetation patterns across the entire penguin colony. The results of this study could serve as a reference point for more sophisticated research involving the use of UAV-based HS or MS sensors in Antarctica, offering unique opportunities to detect small variations in these remote ecosystems resulting ...

    Abstract Background/objectives: Individuals with disabilities (IWD) have a higher risk of potentially traumatic events (PTEs) either in childhood or adulthood, increasing the risk of suicide attempts, mental disorders, and substance use disorder. The aim of this study was to explore the association between substance use, psychiatric symptoms and suicidal behavior with PTEs. A Multisite cross-sectional study was conducted.
    Materials and methods: The sample includes 1,098 participants with any type of disability (motor, intellectual, visual, and mixed) located in Mexico City. Traumatic events, violence, discrimination, addictive disorders, and psychiatric disorders were examined. Multivariate logistic regression models were conducted. Data was collected between September-October 2014.
    Results: People with motor or visual disability have a higher prevalence in nicotine use disorder (NUD), generalize anxiety disorder (GAD), mayor depression disorder (MDD), want to be dead, and lifetime suicide attempts. Intellectual disability group only presents GAD and MDD. All disability groups have a high prevalence of PTEs. Verbal violence in childhood, sexual abuse, discrimination and serious accidents had a strong impact in the development of NUD, psychiatric symptoms and suicidal behavior.
    Conclusion: These findings show the relevance of develop specific tools for detection, referral and treatment, in order to improve the mental health of people with disabilities.

    Abstract The composition of the aqueous humor of patients with glaucoma is relevant to understand the underlying causes of the pathology. Information on the concentration of metabolites and small molecules in the aqueous humor of healthy subjects is limited. Among the causes of the limitations is the lack of healthy controls since, until recently, they were not surgically intervened; therefore, the aqueous humor of patients operated for cataract was used as a reference. Sixteen aqueous humor samples from healthy subjects undergoing refractive surgery and eight samples from glaucoma patients were used to assess the concentration of 188 compounds using chromatography and mass spectrometry. The concentration of 80 of the 188 was found to be reliable, allowing comparison of data from the two groups (glaucoma and control). The pattern found in the controls is similar to, but not the same as, that reported using samples from "controls" undergoing cataract surgery. Comparing data from glaucoma patients and healthy subjects, 57 of the 80 compounds were significantly (

    Abstract Background: The lack of accessible and informative biomarkers results in a delayed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD), whose symptoms appear when a significant number of dopaminergic neurons have already disappeared. The retina, a historically overlooked part of the central nervous system (CNS), has gained recent attention. It has been discovered that the composition of cerebrospinal fluid influences the aqueous humor composition through microfluidic circulation. In addition, alterations found in the brain of patients with PD have a correlate in the retina. This new paradigm highlights the potential of the aqueous humor as a sample for identifying differentially concentrated metabolites that could, eventually, become biomarkers if also found altered in blood or CSF of patients. In this research we aim at analyzing the composition of the aqueous humor from healthy controls and PD patients.
    Methods: A targeted metabolomics approach with concentration determination by mass spectrometry was used. Statistical methods including principal component analysis and linear discriminants were used to select differentially concentrated metabolites that allow distinguishing patients from controls.
    Results: In this first metabolomics study in the aqueous humor of PD patients, elevated levels of 16 compounds were found; molecules differentially concentrated grouped into biogenic amines, amino acids, and acylcarnitines. A biogenic amine, putrescine, alone could be a metabolite capable of differentiating between PD and control samples. The altered levels of the metabolites were correlated, suggesting that the elevations stem from a common mechanism involving arginine metabolism.
    Conclusions: A combination of three metabolites, putrescine, tyrosine, and carnitine was able to correctly classify healthy participants from PD patients. Altered metabolite levels suggest altered arginine metabolism. The pattern of metabolomic disturbances was not due to the levodopa-based dopamine replacement medication because one of the patients was not yet taking levodopa but a dopamine receptor agonist.
