Introducción: los polipéptidos linforeticulares de origen esplénico y hepático porcino han sido postulados como agentes inmunomoduladores en humanos y una alternativa como coadyuvantes en tratamientos contra el cáncer y otras patologías. El objetivo de este estudio fue cuantificar mediante una encuesta dirigida a individuos especializados sobre el uso de los polipéptidos linforeticulares de origen porcino, como tratamiento y coadyuvante en diversas patologías.Metodología: 136 médicos y profesionales de la salud, de alta calificación ético-profesional, ubicados en trece ciudades de Colombia, participaron en un estudio multicéntrico, retrospectivo, valorativo, basado en una encuesta sustentada en una escala de Likert (rango 1-9) en la que se pretende valorar el “efecto terapéutico suplementario” de los polipéptidos linforeticulares (low molecular weight –L.M.W–), desarrollados en este país y observados en el curso clínico de múltiples patologías, así como la aceptación de estos nuevos compuestosen la práctica médica corriente.Resultados: se reportaron un total de 6.510 pacientes vistos y tratados durante un periodo comprendido entre los seis meses anteriores o más de tres años, en una revisión de casuística. Los resultados demuestran un interés general de todos los segmentos y disciplinas de la medicina por estos compuestos orgánicos y reconocen su utilidad en la práctica médica holística y ortodoxa. El 100 % de los investigadores asociados valoraron el efecto terapéutico de estos péptidos específicos, y los clasificaron con valores entre 7 y 9, es decir; (7) como bueno (33,8 %), (8) entre bueno y excelente (34,5 %) y (9) como excelente (26,4 %), reportaron también algunos casos excepcionales.Conclusiones: con base en los resultados se sugiere el uso de estos péptidos como coadyuvantes en el tratamiento de diversas patologías humanas.

The earliest account of the contamination of electron microscope specimens by the deposition of carbonaceous material during electron irradiation was published in 1947 by Watson who was then working in Canada. It was soon established that this carbonaceous material is formed from organic vapours, and it is now recognized that the principal source is the oil-sealed rotary pumps which provide the backing vacuum. It has been shown that the organic vapours consist of low molecular weight fragments of oil molecules which have been degraded at hot spots produced by friction between the vanes and the surfaces on which they slide. As satisfactory oil-free pumps are unavailable, it is standard electron microscope practice to reduce the partial pressure of organic vapours in the microscope in the vicinity of the specimen by using liquid-nitrogen cooled anti-contamination devices. Traps of this type are sufficient to reduce the contamination rate to about 0.1 Å per min, which is tolerable for many investigations.

Event Rates

Background: Patients admitted to hospital for surgery or acute medical illnesses have a high risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Today’s widespread use of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) for VTE prophylaxis is supposed to have reduced VTE rates substantially. However, data concerning the overall effectiveness of LMWH prophylaxis is sparse. Patients and methods: We prospectively studied all patients with symptomatic and objectively confirmed VTE seen in our hospital over a three year period. Event rates in different wards were analysed and compared. VTE prophylaxis with Enoxaparin was given to all patients at risk during their hospital stay. Results: A total of 50 464 inpatients were treated during the study period. 461 examinations were carried out for symptoms suggestive of VTE and yielded 89 positive results in 85 patients. Seventy eight patients were found to have deep vein thrombosis, 7 had pulmonary embolism, and 4 had both deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The overall in hospital VTE event rate was 0.17%. The rate decreased during the study period from 0.22 in year one to 0,16 in year two and 0.13 % in year three. It ranged highest in neurologic and trauma patients (0.32%) and lowest (0.08%) in gynecology-obstetrics. Conclusions: With a simple and strictly applied regimen of prophylaxis with LMWH the overall rate of symptomatic VTE was very low in our hospitalized patients. Beside LMWH prophylaxis, shortening hospital stays and substantial improvements in surgical and anasthesia techniques achieved during the last decades probably play an essential role in decreasing VTE rates.
