Full textAl hablar de resistencia indígena, situándola dentro del contexto colombiano, habremos de tener en cuenta no solo las condiciones de conflicto, sino también cómo se configura el poder dominante materializado en el Estado. De esta forma, debemos adentrarnos en la falla estructural del Estado y cómo, a consecuencia de esto, se evidencia una capacidad incompleta de intervención estatal en todo el territorio colombiano. Como consecuencia, hallamos necesidades básicas insatisfechas y una falta de legitimación del mismo territorio en zonas aledañas. Gracias a esta falla, las comunidades indígenas (propias de estas zonas aledañas) se ven obligadas a satisfacer sus necesidades por ciertas vías alternativas: la formación de un gobierno propio (legítimo y legal en términos constitucionales) con la ayuda de organismos también propios, como el Consejo Regional Indígena del Cauca (CRIC); o la impositiva vinculación (impositiva porque no es legítima, pero es una realidad cercana a las comunidades indígenas) con los grupos armados al margen de la ley, quienes a partir de su fuerza coactiva remplazan en gran medida a las instituciones pública y proveen servicios de salud, seguridad y de mantenimiento del orden bajo sus lógicas.Las comunidades indígenas han desarrollado a partir de sus condiciones un gobierno propio que implica identidad y territorialidad, dando origen a nuevas y ricas formas de organización del poder. Como ejemplo, dado que representa y agrupa los intereses de todas las comunidades indígenas del Cauca y propicia la comunicación con indígenas de otras zonas, está el Consejo Regional Indígena del Cauca, al que prestaremos atención ya que contiene características de mpoder como la resistencia, los discursos de verdad y la vinculación con el derecho.

Full textLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and the insulin resistance syndrome are common conditions associated with a markedly increased cardiovascular risk. In a fairly large prospective longitudinal study of men from the general population, we found that an unfavorable serum fatty acid profile and components of the insulin resistance syndrome such as dyslipidemia, obesity and hypertension at age 50 predicted the prevalence of LVH at age 70. In cross-sectional analyses at age 70, several components of the insulin resistance syndrome were significantly related to left ventricular relative wall thickness and concentric remodeling, but less to LVH. Left ventricular relative wall thickness was inversely related to insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle and borderline significantly directly related to insulin sensitivity in the myocardium in a healthy, normotensive sample of the cohort investigated with positron emission tomography, whereas left ventricular mass index was not related to myocardial or skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. At age 70, echocardiographic LVH was related to a variety of common electrocardiographic diagnoses. In a prospective mortality analysis with baseline at age 70 and a median follow-up time of five years, echocardiographic and electrocardiographic LVH predicted mortality independently of each other and of other cardiovascular risk factors, implying that echocardiographic and electrocardiographic LVH in part carry different prognostic information.
In summary, components of the insulin resistance syndrome predicted LVH twenty years later, but were cross-sectionally more related to increased left ventricular relative wall thickness and concentric remodeling. Echocardiographic and electrocardiographic LVH predicted mortality independently of each other and of components of the insulin resistance syndrome.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: An important next step to Tuberculosis control relies on the translation of basic science and modern diagnostic techniques into primary health care clinics. These assays must be rapid, inexpensive, interpretation of results must be easy and they must be simple so that a healthcare worker with limited training can perform the tests under safe conditions. This study consists of four aims. The first aim was to develop a methodology to sterilize sputum specimens for rapid TB diagnosis and drug resistance testing. Candidate bactericides were identified from the literature, and tested for their bactericidal activity in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We identified ultraseptin®aktiv as a powerful bactericidal agent which sterilizes sputum specimens for subsequent safe handling prior to light emitting diode microscopy and it also provides a DNA template for PCR-based tests. An algorithm has been proposed for the processing of specimens and rapid diagnosis of TB and drug resistant TB while patients wait for results. Recently, the World Health Organization has endorsed the MTBDRplus test for diagnosis of TB and drug resistant TB. However genotypic tests may have more problems than anticipated. With the HIV pandemic, an increase of non-tuberculous mycobacteria has been reported. The sensitivity of genotypic tests in specimens with underlying non-tuberculous mycobacterial species therefore requires further evaluation. This study therefore also aimed at determining the reliability of the MTBDRplus assay for detection of drug resistant TB where non-tuberculous bacterial load is high. Clinically relevant non-tuberculous mycobacterium DNA and DNA from a multi-drug resistant TB isolate were obtained. Ratios of the different NTM with the MDR-TB DNA were made and subjected to the MTBDRplus assay. Known mix NTM and TB infected clinical isolates and sputum sediments were also evaluated for TB and drug resistance detection on the MTBDRplus assay. Under these conditions, this study provides evidence that the MTBDRplus test cannot reliably detect TB and drug resistance TB in specimens with underlying non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Thirdly, to evaluate the sensitivity of the MTBDRplus assay for detecting drug resistance in hetero-resistant isolates, ratios were made using purified DNA from an MDR and pan-susceptible TB isolate. The MTBDRplus assay was then performed on the different ratios. We report that the MTBDRplus assay can efficiently detect wild type DNA in genes associated with resistance during the early evolution of drug resistance. However, in the later stage during treatment when both the wild type and mutants are present, the detection limit for the mutant DNA was 1:55. Due to these results, the MTBDRplus assay should still be further improved or other tests should be developed to address these limitations. And finally to combat cross amplicon contamination during the final steps of genotypic detection with the MTBDRplus assay, a proof of concept for a patentable closed tube line probe device was proposed on the 4th aim. This device can be improved to enable automated drug resistance genotyping of multiple specimens. The results of this study highlight the need for a sensitive inexpensive point of care drug resistance test that does not require intensive training.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'n Belangrike volgende stap om Tuberkulose te beheer is om basiese wetenskap resultate te gebruik sodat moderne diagnose tegnieke ontwikkel kan word wat in primêre gesondheidsorg klinieke toegepas kan word. Hierdie toetse moet vinnig, goedkoop, en die interpretasie van resultate moet maklik wees. Die toetse moet eenvoudig wees sodat 'n gesondheidswerker met beperkte opleiding die toetse onder veilige omstandighede kan uitvoer. Hierdie studie bestaan uit vier doelwitte, waarvan die eerste was om 'n metode te ontwikkel vir die sterilisasie van sputum monsters vir vinnige TB diagnose en die toesting van middelweerstandigheid. Kandidaat kiemdodende middels was geïdentifiseer vanaf die literatuur en die middels se kiekdodende aktiviteit was getoets op Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Ons het ultraseptin®aktiv geïdentifiseer as 'n kragtige kiemdodende middel wat bakteria in sputum monsters steriliseer vir veilige hantering voordat diagnose met 'n lig uitstralende diode mikroskopie gedoen kan word. Hierdie behandeling met ultraseptin®aktiv bied ook 'n DNA templaat vir PCR-gebaseerde toetse. 'n Algoritme is voorgestel vir die hantering van monsters en die vinnige diagnose van sensitiewe- en middel weerstandige Tuberkulose terwyl die pasiënte by die kliniek wag vir die resultate. Onlangs het die Wêreld Gesondheid Organisasie die genotipiese MTBDRplus toets vir die diagnose van Tuberkulose en middel-weerstandige Tuberkulose onderskryf. Hierdie toets word tans op groot skaal in Suid Afrika gebruik. Dit kan egter wees dat genotipiese toetse baie meer probleme kan he as wat aanvanklik verwag is. Die HIV pandemie gaan toenemend gepaard met n toename van nie-tuberkulose mycobacteria. Die sensitiwiteit van genotipiese toetse op monsters met onderliggende nie-tuberkulose mikobakteriese spesies vereis dus verdere evaluasie. Die doel van hierdie studie was ook om die betroubaarheid van die MTBDRplus-toets te bepaal vir die opsporing van middelweerstandige TB waar die nie-tuberkulose bakteriële lading hoog is. DNA van kliniese relevante nie-tuberkulose mikobakteria en multi-middelweerstige TB isolate was bekom. Verskillende verdunnigs van die spesifieke NTM DNA te same met die van MDR-TB DNA is gemaak en onderwerp aan die MTBDRplus toets. Bekende gemengde NTM- en TB geïnfekteerde kliniese isolate en sputum sedimente was ook geevalueer vir die opsporing van TB en middel weerstandigheid met die MTBDRplus toets. Hierdie studie verskaf bewyse dat die MTBDRplus toets nie betroubaar is met die diagnose van sensitiewe- en middel weerstandige Tuberkulose in monsters met onderliggende nie-tuberkulose mycobacteria nie. Verskillende verdunnings van gesuiwerde DNA van MDR en pan-sensitiewe TB isolate is gemaak om die sensitiwiteit van die MTBDRplus toets vir die opsporing van middelweerstandigheid te bepaal. Die MDRDRplus toets is gebruik met hierdie verdunnings. Resultate in hierdie studie toon dat die MTBDRplus toets effektief is met die identifisering van wilde-tipe DNA (dit beteken middel sensitief) in gene wat geassosieer word met middel weerstandigheid gedurende die vroeë ontwikkeling van weerstandigheid. Hier teenoor toon die resultate dat in die later stadium tydens behandeling, wanneer beide die wilde-tipe (sensitief) en mutante DNA (weerstandig) teenwoordig is, is die opsporingslimiet vir die mutante DNA maar 1:55. As gevolg van hierdie resultate raai ons aan dat die MTBDRplus toets nog verder verbeter moet word of dat ander toetse ontwikkel moet word om hierdie beperkinge aan te spreek. Amplikon kruiskontaminasie kan n groot impak hê op die betroubaarheid van enige genotipiese diagnostiese toets. Die finale stappe van MTBDRplus toets behels die gebruik van 'n oop sisteem sodat kontaminasie maklik kan plaasvind. In die 4de doewit 'n konsep vir 'n patenteerbare geslotebuis toestel ontwikkel en die resultate het getoon dat kontaminasie suksesvol uitgeskakel kan word. Hierdie toestel kan verbeter na 'n outomatiese apparaat verbeter word sodat die module genotipering van verskeie monsters moontlik kan maak. Die resultate van hierdie studie beklemtoon die noodsaaklikheid van 'n sensitiewe goedkoop “point of care” diagnostiese toets wat nie intensiewe opleiding benodig nie.

Full textIt is estimated that 32.8 million people are living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) globally with the number of people receiving antiretroviral therapy in low- and middle- income counties increasing to more than 5 million people in 2009. These successes are threatened by treatment failure and the development of resistance to treatment. With an estimated 3.7% patients failing first line treatment after 2 years and 17.9% after 4 years on treatment there is a need for a practical and cheap in-house drug resistance assay that can be used to provide drug resistance data to clinicians and to use as a research tool to investigate drug resistance. In this study we attempted to optimize and validate an in-house drug resistance assay, adapted from Jacobs et al, 2008, to be used as a diagnostic tool and to study the presence of antiretroviral resistance in patients on the Western Cape Mother-To-Child-Transmission (MTCT) regimen. Quality control samples were received from The National Institute of Communicable Diseases AIDS Virus Research Unit, The Round Robin HIV-1 genotyping assessment system from the University of Würzburg and the QCMD assessment system were used for the optimization and validation of an in-house drug resistance assay. The ViroSeq™ HIV-1 Genotyping System was used for comparison of sample and mutation detection. It was possible to optimise and validate a genotyping assay for diagnostic testing and research use by comparison with the ViroSeq™ HIV-1 Genotyping System and evaluation with external quality assessment systems. This assay could subsequently be used to determine the development of genotypic-antiretroviral resistance in patients treated according to the provincial prevention of mother-to-child-transmission (PMTCT) protocol in the Western Cape (single dose nevirapine (sd-NVP), combined with a short course Zidovudine (AZT)). Patient samples were collected from pregnant women who took part in the Western Cape PMTCT program and visited the Tygerberg Obstetrics Clinic and Delft Community Hospital. EDTA blood was obtained to measure CD4-cell count, viral load, and to do genotyping for viral subtype and the presence of resistance mutations. Information on prior exposure to antiretroviral therapy was also collected. A detected resistance rate of 17.1% in this predominantly HIV-1 subtype C population is lower than previously recorded when sd-NVP was administered to HIV-1 subtype C positive patients in PMTCT programs. This could indicate that a dual PMTCT regimen including AZT and NVP reduces the risk of resistance to NVP relative to a regimen that uses sd-NVP. The genotyping assay uses four primers to amplify the PR and the RT gene separately to obtain PCR products, of 487 and 804 base pairs respectively for sequencing. The two PCR products were sequenced with three and five primers respectively to sequence the complete PR and approximately 250 amino acids of the RT gene. The sequences generated, thus, are analysed and aligned with the Sequencer V4.7 software to obtain a consensus sequence of approximately 1200 base pairs for analysis of resistance mutations in the protease and reverse transcriptase genes. The developed assay was hence further simplified and improved, by combining the PR and RT assay into one, which was optimised and validated for use in the routine diagnostic setting. The final genotyping assay uses 8 primers for sequencing to obtain a 1200 bp sequence for genotyping that contains the protease and the 5’ of the reverse transcriptase genes in which antiretroviral resistance associated mutations are found. The assay was accredited by SANAS in 2008.

Full textDoctor of Philosophy
In this study, I explore conceptions of modern and traditional medicine through a historical lens, and break down two related myths: the first myth is the progressive narrative of modern medicine, which holds that modern medicine became dominant because of its medical superiority; and the second myth is the narrative held by extremist supporters of traditional medicine, who insist that only millennia-old traditional medicine can resolve human ailments without giving rise to untoward side effects and exorbitant costs. I show that, in the case of Japanese colonial Taiwan (1895–1945), both modern and traditional medicine flourished. The history of colonial Taiwan shows us that modern medicine on the island became dominant for two main reasons: first, the public health system successfully dealt with epidemics, which were the most significant threat to life at that time; and second, the colonial government recognized only modern medicine and labeled traditional medicine a non-medicine despite relying on its practitioners in the pre-antibiotic age. The history of colonial Taiwan also shows us that traditional medicine is not "old wisdom" unchanged for thousands of years. Beginning in the 19th century, practitioners of Taiwanese traditional medicine re-constituted it for colonial consumption, arguing that traditional medicine was also true medicine, though epistemologically distinct from modern medicine. This conception of traditional medicine has since informed many current views of traditional medicine. In 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) published the eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), which, for the first time, featured a chapter on traditional Chinese medicine covering such topics as diagnostic techniques for Qi, blood, and fluid disorders. This inclusion of traditional medicine into the ICD-11 is a major step forward in this process of medical integration and may help resolve the historical confrontation between modern and traditional medicine. However, the WHO decision limits recognition of traditional medicine to Chinese medicine, excluding all other kinds of traditional medicine. Thus, the historical question of whether or not traditional medicine is a true medicine remains ultimately unanswered.

Full textThe debate between the sanctity of life ethic and the quality of life ethic has been at the core of bioethical discussions (especially those in English) for forty years. It is generally considered that the sanctity of life is an ancient ethic which belongs to the Judeo-Christian and to the Hippocratic traditions. The quality of life, for its part, is commonly understood as a modern ethic which was born with the scientific and technological development of the medical field started sixty years ago. It is then stated that the difference between the sanctity of life ethic and the quality of life ethic depends on the value that each ethic assigns to human life. A moral judgment about subjects as abortion, euthanasia, the withholding and withdrawal of life support, and so on, is supposed to result from this value. The literature on the subject is abundant, and the expressions “sanctity of life” and quality of life” are often used, but the meaning and the scope of these ethics remain sometimes unclear. This fact becomes more evident in the public debates, especially in the well-known cases. What (human) life, sanctity (of life), and quality (of life) mean? These questions rarely receive the same answer.The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the validity of the opposition between the sanctity of life ethic and the quality of life ethic with a genealogical approach and an archaeological method. The common idea of the sanctity of life is, first, analyzed to find its multiple and heterogeneous “descents” [provenances]. These “descends”, then, are put into context, focusing on the conditions in which the expression “sanctity of life” was mobilized, and on the discourses that opposed to it. This framework, finally, allows to bring a fresh look at the advent of the debate between sanctity of life ethic and quality of life ethic, as well as at its emergence and reconfiguration in bioethics. The challenge is to provide new keys for thinking differently the contemporary debate
