چکیده
In this work, it is presented the dynamics of infection of toxoplasmosis between two nearby communities. Diffusion via of oocysts is a drainage that crosses the study area located in the Caribbean Region of Colombia. The communities considered in the model are San Marcos and San Benito Abad, cities in the Department of Cesar; and the oocysts are transported by the San Jorge River. The model is built using System Dynamics (SD) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), considering two populations: humans and cats. From these conditions, a model is created for each community. This allows us to study the dynamics of the epidemic occurring between two communities through a transfer mean. This instrument under construction is relevant in decision-making in health policies.

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
The Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome or progeria is a laminopathy generated by mutations that affect LMNA gene. This produces an abnormal protein named progerine which alters the formation of the cellular membrane inducing premature aging of all cells. In the present review aspects related to the pathophysiology and clinical characteristics of this syndrome are shown.

متن کاملSynthesis and in vitro Evaluation of S-allyl Cysteine Ester - Caffeic Acid Amide Hybrids as Potential Anticancer Agents
We have synthesized a series of S-allyl cysteine ester-caffeic acid amide hybrids and evaluated them in order to determine their possible anticancer activity and selectivity in colorectal cancer, which is still one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. All compounds were tested against SW480 human colon adenocarcinoma cells and the non-malignant CHO-K1 cell line. Among the...
