Mapping mental health care services for children and youth population in Colombia's Pacific: potential for boundary spanning between community and formal services.

Background: Conflict and violence can impact on the mental health of children and young people, who are in a crucial stage of their personal growth. Not much is known about the provision of mental health care to young people in conflict-affected areas. Community-based care can be essential, as state-led services are often scarce in conflict contexts, like Colombia's Pacific region where this research was conducted.

Ultrasound measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter in a healthy adult Colombian population.

Background: Measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) provides a rapid, safe, and easy method for detecting increased intracranial pressure (ICP). However, the normal mean and upper limit values may vary according to sex, age, ethnicity, and ultrasound technique.

Aim: We aimed to obtain the mean ONSD in a healthy Colombian adult population and to correlate it with demographic and anthropometric measures.

Comparison of In Vitro Efficacy of Six Disinfectants on the Hatching of Larval Eggs of .

Background: The environmental contamination with eggs increases the risk of dissemination and transmission of the parasite in dogs and paratenic hosts such as humans. We aimed to evaluate different disinfectants to compare their effect on eggs.

Methods: For its realization, 850 embryonated eggs were obtained, which were suspended in a solution of 5% formaldehyde and distilled water in Eppendorf tubes.

Identification of spp. eggs in dog hair and associated risk factors.

Aim: The aim of the study was to identify the presence of eggs of spp. in dog hair and to identify any risk factors associated with this.

Materials And Methods: A total of 96 dogs were sampled collecting hair from the head, perianal and hindquarters.

Use of oral fluralaner for the treatment of Psoroptes cuniculi in 15 naturally infested rabbits.

Background: Psoroptes cuniculi, a nonburrowing ear mite, is a common ectoparasite of rabbits. Constant irritation of the auditory canal by the presence of this mite can lead to otitis externa or otoacariasis.

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of fluralaner on rabbits naturally infested with P.

The Lateral Proximal Phalanx Flap for Contractures and Soft Tissue Defects in the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint: An Anatomical and Clinical Study.

The management of contractures and soft tissue defects in the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) finger joint remains a challenge. We report a transposition flap from the lateral skin of the proximal phalanx that is based on perforating branches of the digital arteries and can be used safely for both palmar and dorsal cover defects. We first completed an anatomic study, dissecting 20 fingers in fresh cadavers with arterial injections and made the new flap in patients with dorsal or palmar defects in PIP joints.

Evaluation of five treatments to control intestinal parasites in sheep in Ayapango, state of Mexico.

Aim: Intestinal parasites are one of the most common problems in sheep production systems. However, the strategies used to eliminate these parasites have not yielded satisfactory results. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of five anthelmintics (with different active ingredients) on the parasite load in sheep.

Efficacy of fluralaner in 17 dogs with sarcoptic mange.

Background: There are few licensed options for the treatment of canine sarcoptic mange.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of fluralaner in dogs with sarcoptic mange infestation.

Animals: Seventeen dogs with a diagnosis of Sarcoptes scabiei based on positive skin scrapings.

A novel pathogenic variant in PRF1 associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis type 2 (FHL2) results from mutations in PRF1. We described two unrelated individuals who presented with FHL, in whom severely impaired NK cytotoxicity and decrease perforin expression was observed. DNA sequencing of PRF1 demonstrated that both were not only heterozygous for the p.

Predegenerated great auricular nerve graft in facial nerve defects.

Objective: To compare axonal regeneration in an animal model after the repair of facial nerve defects with pre-degenerated (PD) and non-PD (NPD) great auricular nerve grafts.

Materials And Methods: The buccal branch of the facial nerve was completely sectioned in 18 New Zealand rabbits, which were randomized to 3 treatment groups: PD great auricular nerve graft repair (PD group), NPD great auricular nerve graft repair (NPD group), and immediate end-to-end repair (control group). Axonal regeneration was examined using optical microscopy to assess the following variables: total number of myelinated axons and regenerating sprouts (MARS) that crossed the distal anastomosis, numbers of intra and extrafascicular MARS, and area of myelinated axons.
