OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy and safety of platelet rich plasma (PRP) as an adjuvant for tympanoplasty for perforations of the tympanic membrane with butterfly cartilage graft vs tympanoplasty with cartilage graft only. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A randomized, controlled, clinical trial, including patients with tympanic membrane perforation, divided into two groups. Group 1 underwent endomeatal tympanoplasty with butterfly cartilage graft without PRP and group 2 underwent same tympanoplasty technique and PRP was added. The size of the tympanic perforation was assessed preoperatively, and the follow up included persistence for 8 weeks postoperatively in both groups. RESULTS: The index of healing of the tympanic membrane was higher with the tympanoplasty that used the PRP compared to the control group, with statistical significance (p = 0.026) at the end of the follow-up (8 weeks). The patients in the experimental group had an evolution period (chronicity) of 18-24 months since their diagnosis, with significant statistical difference (p = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS: The healing of the tympanic membrane is superior with the use of PRP as adjuvant in endomeatal tympanoplasty with butterfly cartilage graft despite the time of chronicity; during the follow-up, no patient in the study presented with adverse effects derived from the procedure or to the application of PRP.

Este artículo persigue, por una parte, determinar las características que definen aquellos modos de proyectar apoyados en el empleo de diagramas gráficos con cualidades generativas. Por otra parte, pretende clarificar los aspectos metodológicos relacionados con la inserción de técnicas diagramáticas dentro del ámbito más amplio de los procesos del proyectar arquitectónico. Bajo este marco conceptual, el artículo analiza tres proyectos contemporáneos en los que las técnicas gráficas diagramáticas, apoyadas en el uso de las tecnologías digitales, adquieren un papel protagonista en la definición de ámbitos espaciales de escala urbana.

Although is a recent topic, the analysis of the success of the integrated systems implementation of the enterprise resource planning (erp) is a topic that has a lot of relevance for the information technology (it) community. However, as a result of this novelty, most of the existent investigation is limited to qualitative methodologies or descriptive studies oriented to big companies or corporations mainly. This investigation presents a model that seeks to reveal the determining factors of the success of erp implementation in a small and medium Latin American company. The validation of this empiric model allowed to verify significant relationships between training and it abilities in the company and the success of the implementation, measured by the time required for this one. It was also verified the impact of this time over the perception of the companies global satisfaction with the erp implementation. The investigation concludes with recommendations for its application and also suggests additional potential areas of investigation inspired by an amazing collateral result obtained.

En años recientes, el interés de los proveedores de sistemas empresariales (ERP) en el mercado de las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) se ha incrementado de forma importante. La saturación y el bajo crecimiento que experimenta la venta de ERP en los mercados corporativos y de la gran empresa han hecho que los grandes proveedores de soluciones de tecnologías y sistemas de información (TI/SI) empresarial, como SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Baan y otros, hayan vuelto su mirada para desarrollar y vender sus soluciones integrales al numeroso y heterogéneo sector de las pymes.
