ABSTRACT The high level of Venezuelan migration is a great challenge for Peru due to the healthcare needs of immigrants. Worryingly, children under the age of five are the most vulnerable. In order to know the nutritional status of this group in migratory transit to Peru, a descriptive study was carried out with two rounds of data collection (August 2018 and March 2019) at the Binational Border Healthcare Center in Tumbes. In each round, nutritional status, morbidity and food characteristics were determined for 322 and 619 Venezuelan children under the age of five, as well as any health and nutrition actions implemented upon their entry into Peru. For each round, acute malnutrition affected 3.2% and 3.0%; chronic malnutrition 16.5% and 17.9%; anemia 34.8% and 25.0%; cough or shortness of breath was present in 31.3% and 17.6%; diarrhea in 16.6% and 9.9%. Nearly seven out of ten children under the age of two breastfed the day before. During the migratory journey and for each round, 58.3% and 47.0% of children under two years of age increased their frequency of breastfeeding, the minimum meal frequency (MMF) was met only by 13.9% and 18.0%. While the timely reaction in terms of healthcare and nutrition facing the inflow of migrant population is a good first step, the health system needs to generate the conditions so that health services can provide coverage with adequate quality to the entire population residing in the national territory, under the premise that the right to health is for everybody without any type of exclusion.

RESUMEN La elevada migración venezolana ha mostrado ser un gran desafío para el Perú debido a las necesidades de atención que requieren los inmigrantes. De modo preocupante, los menores de cinco años son quienes se encuentran más vulnerables. A fin de conocer el estado nutricional de este grupo en tránsito migratorio al Perú, se realizó un estudio descriptivo con dos rondas de recolección de datos (agosto de 2018 y marzo de 2019) en el Centro Binacional de Atención Fronteriza de Tumbes. En cada ronda, a 322 y 619 niños venezolanos menores de cinco años se determinó su estado nutricional, morbilidad y características de la alimentación, así como las acciones de salud y nutrición implementadas al momento de su ingreso al Perú. Para cada ronda, la desnutrición aguda afectó al 3,2% y 3,0%, la desnutrición crónica al 16,5% y 17,9%, la anemia al 34,8% y 25,0%, la tos o dificultad para respirar estuvo presente en el 31,3% y 17,6%, las diarreas en el 16,6% y 9,9%. Cerca de siete de cada diez niños menores de dos años lactó el día previo. Durante el viaje migratorio y para cada ronda, el 58,3% y 47,0% de los niños menores de dos años aumentó la frecuencia de lactadas, la frecuencia mínima de alimentación (FMA) fueron alcanzadas sólo por el 13,9% y 18,0%. La reacción oportuna de atención en salud y nutrición frente al ingreso de la población migrante es un buen primer paso, el sistema de salud necesita generar las condiciones para que los servicios de salud puedan brindar la cobertura con la calidad adecuada a toda la población que reside en el territorio nacional, bajo el enfoque de que el derecho a la salud corresponde a todas las personas sin ningún tipo de exclusión.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: In the present study, we determined the chemical composition of Clinopodium macrostemum essential oil obtained by microwave-assisted hydrodistillation and its effect on the growth and development of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito larvae. METHODS: The essential oil compounds were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, and bioassays were conducted to evaluate the influence on the developmental stages of early second instar larvae of Cx. quinquefasciatus until the emergence of adults, using essential oil concentrations of 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800mg/L. RESULTS: The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses revealed that the leaf essential oil of C. macrostemum contained 32 compounds and the major chemical compounds identified were linalool (55.4%), nerol (6.4%), caryophyllene (6.25%), menthone (5.8%), geraniol acetate (4.1%), terpineol (3.7%), and pulegone (2.8%). The essential oil yield obtained by microwave-assisted hydrodistillation was 0.8% at 20 min. The treatments showed lethal concentrations (LC50 and LC90) of 22.49 and 833.35mg/L, respectively, after the final measurement of the total number of dead larvae (second, third, and fourth instars), and LC50 and LC90 of 6.62 and 693.35mg/L, respectively, at the end of the experimental period. The essential oil inhibited the growth and development of the mosquito larvae by 32% (relative growth index = 0.68) at 50mg/L, and up to 47% (relative growth index = 0.53) at 800mg/L. CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrated the larvicidal effect of C. macrostemum essential oil on Cx. quinquefasciatus, which can be attributed to the oxygenate compounds obtained by the extraction method.

Objective: To characterize clinically, paraclinical, and epidemiologically Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in patients at Hospital Universitario in Neiva Design: Descriptive cross sectional. Place: Hospital Universitario Hernando Moncaleano Perdomo, Neiva-Colombia. Population: Patients at Hospital Universitario Hernando Moncaleano Perdomo with diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Method: Data collection of medical histories was performed. Results: Of 104 medical histories, the disease occurs five times more often in women than in men (ratio of 5:1). The most frequent comorbidities in females were hypertension with 26.74%, fibromyalgia and anti-phospholipid syndrome both with 12, 79%; In male patients hypertension, fibromyalgia and heart failure were presented each in a 27.78%. 61.53% of female patients had skin manifestations, 51.16% reported arthralgia and only 25.58% had joint involvement characterized by synovial effusion; in men skin manifestations were 50%, 50% arthralgia and articular involvement characterized by synovial effusion was 22.22%. In the laboratory test between 12.79% and 31.40% of patients had active lupus, determined by the presence of leukopenia, proteinuria and C3 and C4 consumed. In the sample of female patients the most frequent paraclinical alterations were characterized by hemoglobin <12 g / dl in 53.48% and 26, 74% of patients present thrombocytopenia. Meanwhile, 33.33% of men had thrombocytopenia and 6.38% had hemoglobin <12 g / dl.

RESUMO Associações de plantas de várzea não tem sido foco da pesquisa. Para contribuir com as bases ecológicas para manejo, objetivou-se conhecer as diferenças entre florestas de três fisiografias e como o nível de inundação explica sua ocorrência, comparando-as com outras florestas neotropicais. Foram estabelecidas três parcelas de 0,5 ha e foram medidos os indivíduos com DAP≥10 cm. A espécie mais comum foi Oenocarpus bataua para a área bem drenada e Campnosperma panamensis para a área de pântano. A análise de componentes principais separou as três comunidades, o primeiro componente explicou 48% da variação total e o segundo 26%. Teve uma grande riqueza de espécies, assim como também uma alta densidade de árvores pequenas e medianas no terraço e colina, contrastando com a baixa riqueza na área do pântano com hiper dominância de uma espécie e maior área basal. A dominância de espécies bem adaptadas ao excesso hídrico no pântano mostrou um filtro ambiental que determina a composição e estrutura particular do pântano. As florestas estudadas têm caraterísticas particulares diferentes de outras florestas tropicais de terra baixa; particularmente, uma alta densidade de árvores, menor riqueza de espécies e menor densidade média da madeira do que florestas da Amazônia.

ABSTRACT The forests of the Pacific Coasts of Chocó are timber suppliers for Colombia. The floodable plant associations have been poorly investigated. To contribute with ecological basis for their management, the aim of this study was to learn about the differences between the forests of three physiographies and how the flood level explains them, comparing these forests with other of the neotropic. Three parcels of 0.5 ha were stablished y and individuals with DBH ≥ 10 cm were measured. The most common species is Oenocarpus bataua in well drained zones and Campnosperma panamensis in permanently flooded or swamp. The principal components analysis separated the three communities; the first and the second components explained 48% and 26% of the total variation, respectively. There is a high species richness and density of small and medium tall trees in the terrace and hill, in contrast with the low richness in the swamp zone with hyperdominance of one species and a bigger basal area. The dominance of species well adapted to stress caused by hydric excess in the swamp evidenced an environmental filter, that determines a composition and structure particular in the swamp. The studied forests have particular characteristics that differentiate them from other forests of low tropical lands, in particular, a high tree density, less species richness and lower mean wood density compared with Amazonia forests.

Introducción: La salud y la enfermedad mental son fenómenos de gran complejidad en los cuales intervienen aspectos ecológicos y biopsicosociales. La historia natural de la salud y la enfermedad mental podrían ser modificadas por la ejecución de programas de salud general y salud pública. Método: En primer lugar, se construye un panorama epidemiológico y social mediante un análisis multifactorial de aspectos relacionados con la enfermedad mental, como la pobreza, la violencia, la farmacodependencia y los desastres naturales. En segundo lugar, se examinan las necesidades en psiquiatría y salud mental con el fin de confrontarlas con el primer punto. Y, en tercer lugar, se evalúa mediante diferentes estrategias el estado de la especialidad y las posibilidades de atención. Resultados: La formación del profesional en psiquiatría en Colombia carece de los conceptos de psiquiatría comunitaria y de salud mental comunitaria, pues su formación tiene un énfasis médico y asistencial. La literatura colombiana en el contexto nacional e internacional prácticamente no contiene temas relacionados con experiencias en salud mental comunitaria o aspectos sociológicos de la psiquiatría. Conclusión: Se observa una incongruencia entre la realidad en salud mental y la formación en psiquiatría en Colombia, lo que podría tener repercusiones en el momento de plantear políticas de intervención en salud mental para las comunidades. Es necesario que, desde el punto de vista de la salud mental y la psiquiatría, se aborden temas cruciales como son la violencia, la pobreza, la farmacodependencia y las consecuencias de los desastres naturales.

Introduction: Mental health and mental illness are phenomena of great complexity in which ecological and biopsychosocial aspects intervene. The natural history of mental health and mental illness could be modified by carrying out programs of general and public health. Method: First, the reality of mental health in Colombia is assessed by depicting epidemiological and social aspects and analyzing the circumstances related with mental illness such as poverty, violence, drug dependence and natural disasters. Second, the needs of psychiatry and mental health are assessed with the purpose of confronting them with the first point. Third, by means of different strategies the state of the specialty and the possibilities of care are examined. Results: Training of the psychiatrist in Colombia does not include concepts of community psychiatry and community mental health, as its main emphasis is on medical training and assistance. Colombian literature in the national and international context does not include topics related with experiences in community mental health. Conclusion: Great incongruity is observed between reality in mental health and training in psychiatry that could have grave repercussions when the time comes to outline intervention policies regarding mental health for communities.
