Abstract

This paper considers a review of the literature major and significant methods of quality indices of water applied in surface water bodies, used and proposed for assessing the significance of parameters of water quality in the assessment of surface water currents and they are usually used in making decisions for intervention and strategic prevention measures for those responsible for the conservation and preservation of watersheds where these water bodies belong. An exploratory methodology was applied to realize the conceptualization of each water quality index. As a result, it is observed that there are several important methods for determining the water quality index applied in surface water bodies.

Abstract

Se propone un índice de calidad del agua (ICA), como herramienta para el desarrollo sustentable en cuerpos de aguas superficiales de la ciudad de Bogotá, índice de calidad de agua Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas (ICA- UDFJC), mediante la agregación de parámetros fisicoquímicos: oxígeno disuelto, pH, fósforo total, nitratos, sólidos suspendidos totales, conductividad, demanda bioquímica de oxígeno, demanda química de oxígeno, nitrógeno total y grasas y aceites, a una fórmula matemática.Se aplicó una metodología exploratoria para conceptualizar sobre algunos índices propuestos, luego mediante la agregación de parámetros fisicoquímicos se propone el Índice de Calidad de Agua Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas (ICA- UDFJC) Este nuevo índice, además de evaluar la calidad del agua superficial, es una herramienta funcional en la planificación de las cuencas hidrográficas, clasificación de las áreas, cuencas hidrográficas, usos del agua, política y gestión ambiental, desarrollo de investigación científica y sostenibilidad ambiental del recurso hídrico. A water quality index (ICA) is proposed as a tool for sustainable development in surface water bodies of the city of Bogotá, water quality index Francisco José de Caldas District University (ICA-UDFJC), through the aggregation of physicochemical parameters: dissolved oxygen, pH, total phosphorus, nitrates, total suspended solids, conductivity, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen and fats and oils, to a mathematical formula. An exploratory methodology was applied to conceptualize some proposed indexes, then by adding physicochemical parameters the water quality Index is proposed Francisco José de Caldas District University (ICA-UDFJC) This new index, in addition to evaluating the quality of surface water, is a functional tool in watershed planning, classification of areas, watersheds, water uses, environmental policy and management, development of scientific research and environmental sustainability of the hidric resource.

Abstract

Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the current opinion and clinical decision-making process of international pancreatologists, and to systematically identify key study questions regarding the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pancreatitis (CP) for future research. Methods An online survey, including questions regarding the diagnosis and treatment of CP and several controversial clinical case vignettes, was send by e-mail to members of various international pancreatic associations: IHPBA, APA, EPC, ESGE and DPSG. Results A total of 288 pancreatologists, 56% surgeons and 44% gastroenterologists, from at least 47 countries, participated in the survey. About half (48%) of the specialists used a classification tool for the diagnosis of CP, including the Mayo Clinic (28%), Mannheim (25%), or Buchler (25%) tools. Overall, CT was the preferred imaging modality for evaluation of an enlarged pancreatic head (59%), pseudocyst (55%), calcifications (75%), and peripancreatic fat infiltration (68%). MRI was preferred for assessment of main pancreatic duct (MPD) abnormalities (60%). Total pancreatectomy with auto-islet transplantation was the preferred treatment in patients with parenchymal calcifications without MPD abnormalities and in patients with refractory pain despite maximal medical, endoscopic, and surgical treatment. In patients with an enlarged pancreatic head, 58% preferred initial surgery (PPPD) versus 42% initial endoscopy. In patients with a dilated MPD and intraductal stones 56% preferred initial endoscopic ± ESWL treatment and 29% preferred initial surgical treatment. Conclusion Worldwide, clinical decision-making in CP is largely based on local expertise, beliefs and disbeliefs. Further development of evidence-based guidelines based on well designed (randomized) studies is strongly encouraged.
