This article presents a clinical case of a patient with acute myocardial infarction and an anomaly in the origin of the circumflex coronary artery that developed cardiogenic shock as a complication. The patient was treated with thrombolytics and pharmacoinvasive therapy, and underwent uncomplicated angioplasty with stent placement. The article highlights the complexity of cardiogenic shock and its high mortality rate in cases of acute myocardial infarction. The article describes a case of coronary artery anomalies in a patient with acute coronary syndrome complicated by cardiogenic shock. An anomalous origin of the circumflex coronary artery from the distal segment of the right coronary artery was found, which is unusual. This anomaly caused myocardial damage and ischemia in a larger territory, resulting in systolic dysfunction and cardiogenic shock. The treatment consisted of coronary reperfusion of the infarct-related artery. The identification of these anomalies is crucial for the management of patients with associated coronary artery disease.

Scientific knowledge may present taxonomic, geographic and thematic biases, which could have negative consequences on conservation decisions, especially in highly threatened groups such as amphibians. This work aimed to explore the scientific production of anurans from Argentina during the 2010-2020 decade, to understand the current state of knowledge and identify possible biases and information gaps. Our results showed that the production of scientific knowledge on anurans from Argentina remained constant during the studied period. Nonetheless, we observed taxonomic, geographic and topic biases. The number of studies was higher in areas with higher human population density and on topics related to morphology, as well as for common species with medium body sizes, general habits, with a broad geographic distribution, and occurring in rural-urban areas. Our results represent a baseline to clarify and evidence the different biases of scientific knowledge about anurans from Argentina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article "An unusual association: chronic coronary syndrome and Bland-White-Garland syndrome" describes the case of a 53-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes, systemic arterial hypertension, and mixed dyslipidemia. The patient presented symptoms of angina and dyspnea when making physical efforts due to an anomaly in the origin of the left coronary artery, known as Bland-White-Garland syndrome. A successful surgical correction was performed, and the patient fully recovered. The article highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and management of this rare congenital disease.

Introduction: The decline in neonatal mortality is progressive in Peru and around the world, but it is unequal between rich and poor or between urban and rural populations. Objective: To project the national and departmental neonatal mortality rate (NMR) to 2030 and measure the inequality gaps of the indicators within departments. Materials and methods: An ecological observational study was conducted to calculate the national and departmental NMR to 2030 by applying the "algorithm for obtaining SDG3 targets" based on the NMR for the period 2012 to 2021 estimated with death certificates. Results: It was found that by 2030, Peru's average NMR could be reduced by 12%, from 8.81 in 2021 to 7.78 neonatal deaths per 1000 live births. Within the country, Huancavelica, Puno, Cusco, Amazonas and Ayacucho would have the highest weighted NMR, going from 14.62 to 12.20, and in the departments of Tacna, Moquegua, Lima, Callao and Ica, with the lowest weighted U5MR, the NMR would go from 6.13 to 5.78. Absolute inequality in the NMR would be reduced by 24%, from 8.49 to 6.42, while relative inequality would remain at 2. Conclusions: A slow reduction in neonatal mortality is projected for 2030, with wide inequality gaps between departments and a significant reduction in NMR only in some departments. Prioritizing preventive interventions will be required to reduce early and late neonatal mortality, avoidable neonatal mortality and prematurity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The descriptioa of Liolaemus shitan was made based on an exhaustive morphological diagnosis. However, due to the lack of molecular evidence, a later phylogeographic study suggested that L. shitan would not be a valid species, but rather a synonym for L. elongatus. Here, after careful examination, we show numerous evidences of external morphology, coloration, physiological data and distribution, which would indicate that L. shitan is a valid species different from L. elongatus. Therefore, we consider L. shitan as a valid species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Intracranial complications of otomastoiditis remain a clinical and radiological diagnostic challenge. We present the case of a male patient of 20 years of age, who presented with a clinical picture of head trauma and a history of Cornelia de Lange syndrome. In a subsequent brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance, numerous infectious complications were detected in the patient. In the present article, the main clinical characteristics and their diagnostic images are reviewed, since the delay in their appropriate diagnosis and adequate therapy can lead to an increase in morbidity and mortality.

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between the apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) and the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) en criteria in the evaluation of high-grade neoplastic lesions. Materials and methods: A descriptive, longitudinal, retrospective study was carried out. We included 15 patients who met the selection criteria and with diagnosis of high-grade glial neoplasia, who had undergone an magnetic resonance imaging study with specific diffusion sequences for baseline mapping of the ADC and after the 12 weeks of completing treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The baseline ADC, control ADC, and RANO response criteria were measured. Results: The ADC values obtained in the control study had a moderate negative correlation with the RANO criteria, with a Spearman's Rho value of -0.63 and a p of 0.011. Conclusion: There is a negative correlation between the ADC and the RANO criteria, so it is possible that ADC maps can be used in the follow-up of high-grade glial neoplastic lesions treated with chemoradiotherapy.

The objective of the work was the application of diffuse logic in the sensorial evaluation of natural black olives, through the development of a model that links the valuation made by consumer judges in relation to color, texture and flavor attributes, with the food general acceptance. Sensory evaluation was developed with 30 consumer judges. The model was generated using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System, ANFIS. The qualification of the judges for each attribute was considered as input data. The values assigned by them in the general acceptance tests were considered as the output matrix. The weighting of each of the attributes evaluated on the general profile of the sample was defined, which was delimited by means of three generalized bell-type membership functions. The ANFIS network created showed an acceptable performance, even the reduced number of neurons used for its development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article titled "Postoperative Aortic Dissection after Bentall and De Bono Surgery" reports on a clinical case of a 41-year-old man who experienced an aortic dissection after undergoing Bentall and De Bono surgery. The patient went to the emergency room due to weakness and claudication in the lower extremities related to hypotension. Diagnostic imaging tests were performed, confirming the presence of a Stanford A aortic dissection, DeBakey III. The article highlights that the incidence of aortic dissection after cardiac surgery is 15%, and only 3.6% of patients undergoing a Bentall and De Bono procedure require further intervention. It is noted that this complication is relatively rare but with a high mortality rate. [Extracted from the article]

For millennia the turtles and tortoises have been part of the mythical universe of several human cultures. In consequence, the empirical knowledge of oral transmission, the contextualized use, and the symbolic meaning of these animals exceed in antiquity and extension to the academic knowledge on them, which has not impeded, however, that chelonians are currently the most threatened vertebrates on the Earth. This paper deals with the work of explorers and naturalists who laid the foundations of the South American herpetology, in general, and the cheloniology, in particular, with emphasis in Argentina. The work of Marcos Freiberg is recognized as pivotal to the development of the scientific study of the chelonians in this country. Lastly, the progress of cheloniology in recent decades is summarized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The constitutionalization of alternative forms of dispute resolution (ADR) is a mistake. It entails the risk of fossilizing tools that require, by way of their nature, a level of flexibility, and of hindering the possibility of having dispute resolution alternatives that respond to the needs of time. The constituents of 1991 decided to include within Article 116 of the Constitution specific considerations in reference to jurisdictional functions carried out by conciliators and arbitrators, a choice that has restricted and will continue to limiter these and other ADR mechanisms in a way detrimental to the entire dispute settlement system of Colombia. This article analyzes the precedents and discusses the mistakes inherent to the constitutionalization of an alternative form of dispute resolution as arbitration, and consequently also serves as a beckoning call for the Congress of Colombia --entity that is about to decide over a lengthy constitutional reform of the justice system-- not to perpetuate the mistakes of the drafters of the 1991 Constitution, and remove once and for all the incorrectly constitutionalized elements of ADR mechanisms.
