Objective: It is to know the dynamics of oviposition of A. aegypti , evaluate its gonadotrophic state and determine taxonomically the presence of other culicidae in the metropolitan area of Bucaramanga. Methodology: Oviposition traps (N = 960) were baited with hay infusion (10%) for one year in four locations (Norte, Girón, Piedecuesta and Floridablanca). The ovitraps were kept for five days indoors and outdoors, while larvae were collected in plants such as bromeliads and water reservoirs from each collecting site. In the month of May 2014, were captured with an electric aspirator and traps to catch females of A. aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus to which were estimated their gonadotrophic state. Environmental data such as precipitation and temperature were correlated with the collected eggs and their oviposition indices. Results: 25,254 eggs of A. aegypti were obtained (39.1% Girón, 36.8% Bucaramanga, 15.2% Floridablanca and 8.9% Piedecuesta). In general, oviposition rates were higher outdoors. As for the gonotrophic state, it was detected that females of A. aegypti can have for over two gonadotrophic cycles. In the active catch outdoors were found Culex spp., Culex quinquefasciatus , Limatus durhamii , Toxorhynchites spp and Wyeomyia davisi.

There is, however, no evidence of the effectiveness of neuromuscular taping versus physiotherapy, or of their combined therapy. Objectives: To analyze: the effects of taping compared with those of a physiotherapy program; and the additional benefits that could be obtained if these two therapies were combined in the management of neck pain. Methodology: A total of 60 patients diagnosed with cervical pain were selected and a quasi-experimental pre-post parallel, four-arm simple blind design was utilized: physiotherapy alone; taping alone; physiotherapy plus taping; and taping plus physiotherapy. The effects were estimated, using fixed effects models, for pain at rest, on palpation and in movement. Results: The greatest intra-individual change was found with physiotherapy (β=−1.81; CI95%: −2.69 to −0.93), followed by the physiotherapy plus taping (β=−1.57; CI95%: −2.32 to −0.83), then taping plus physiotherapy (β=−1.29; CI95%: −1.98 to −0.60). Taping alone, however, achieved only a marginally significant reduction (β=−0.50; CI95%: −1.11 to 0.10). Regarding palpation pain, a statistically significant reduction was only observed for physiotherapy (β=−0.84; CI95%: −1.56 to −0.11) and physiotherapy plus taping (β=−0.52; CI95%: −1.09 to 0.04). Finally, for movement pain, a statistically significant reduction for physiotherapy was observed (β=−1.28; CI95%: −2.02 to −0.55) and very similar reductions were observed for physiotherapy plus taping and taping plus physiotherapy.

Objective: Molecularly characterize circulating genotypes of Human Papilloma Virus in population of the north of Bucaramanga. Methods: cross-sectional study in women aged from 35 to 65 years with risk ≥3 points for develop cervical cancer determined by a standardized survey. In a cervico-vaginal self-sampling probe a molecular test was performed by HPV Direct Flow CHIP technology. Results: 810 women were interviewed, of these 435 (53.7%) performed self-sampling due to the risk calculated. The median age was 47.3 years (RIQ 41-53 years). Almost the entire population resides in poor conditions (stratum1 and 2) (98.8%) and most of them are from the Colombian subsidized social security system (87.2%). The prevalence was 10.6% (CI 95%: 7.8 - 13.8), for high risk genotypes it was 3.9% (CI 95%: 2.3 - 6.2), low risk of 3.5% (CI 95%: 1.4 - 5.6) and for indeterminate genotype of 1.9%. HPV-59 was the most common high-risk genotype and HPV-62/81 was a low-risk genotype. There was coinfection with high risk/low risk genotypes in five women and coinfection with two low risk genotypes in a woman. Conclusion: The prevalence of infection by Human Papilloma Virus in women living in vulnerable areas of Bucaramanga is lower than that reported in Bogotá and Cali (14.9% and 13%, respectively). No predominance of any particular high-risk genotype was found.

Barranquilla es uno de los principales municipios receptores en el norte del pais. En esta ciudad, los asentamientos de zonas marginadas estan siendo habitados por migrantes venezolanos y colombianos de retorno, a menudo en condiciones de alta vulnerabilidad ambiental y social. Objetivo: El presente estudio realiza una exploracion rapida de las necesidades sociales y en salud del asentamiento de Villa Caracas, usando una tecnica semi-cualitativa de listados libres para explorar los dominios culturales asociados a tales necesidades. Presentacion de caso: Villa Caracas, se encuentra en el Suroccidente de Barranquilla y se cree que la ocupan alrededor de unas 100 familias de venezolanos, sumados a los colombianos de retorno y nativos que nunca se re-ubicaron. Sus habitantes se encuentran en condiciones de vulnerabilidad, pero no se conocen cuales son las problematicas mas relevantes. Metodos: Se aplicaron 96 listados libres en habitantes de Villa Caracas, a cada sujeto se les interrogo el sexo, la edad, la ocupacion, la escolaridad y su estado migratorio. Se hicieron tres preguntas para los listados libres sobre: problemas del asentamiento, problemas de salud, y puntos donde reciben atencion en salud. Se calcularon los indices de relevancia de Smith (IRS) para cada dominio. Resultados: En total participaron 96 personas, de los cuales 33 fueron hombres. La edad promedio fue de 31,2 anos (SD: 9,6; Rango: 18-65). Del total de la muestra, un 82,3% fueron venezolanos, 8,3% colombianos de retorno y un 9,4% manifesto tener doble nacionalidad. Todos los venezolanos participantes se encontraban en condicion migratoria irregular. Se encontraron como principales necesidades sociales percibidas las siguientes: alcantarillado (Indice de relevancia de Smith (IRS): 0,38), agua potable (IRS: 0,31) y fluido electrico (IRS: 0,30). Por otro lado, con respecto a los problemas de salud, resaltaron: infeccion respiratoria aguda (IRS: 0,39) y fiebre no especificada (0,20). Todos los habitantes refirieron no ser atendidos por ser venezolanos. Conclusiones: La aproximacion permite destacar las condiciones de vulnerabilidad de los migrantes siendo un punto de partida para un diagnostico mas detallado que permita el desarrollo de planes de respuesta del nivel local. En particular, sobre el saneamiento ambiental como el principal problema del asentamiento que genera un riesgo potencial para la transmision de diversas enfermedades infecciosas.
