I study signals from scalp electroencephalography (EEG), as well as intracranial recordings (iEEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and single cell recordings. Different algorithms and models are proposed to localize and characterize of neuronal populations involved in: i) cognitive processing of information and ii) in abnormal electrical activity in patients with epilepsy.

  • Nuclear Science in Latin-America
    Nuclear Science in Latin-America Alinka Lépine-Szily Instituto de Física-USP São Paulo, Brazil IUPAP-WG9 Meeting-on-the-web 10,11 June 2021 News from ALAFNA (Association of Latin American Nuclear Physics and Applications) ALAFNA was very informal until recently, no bylaws, chairs reelected every 2 years etc. In January 2020 Sotirios Charisopoulos from IAEA invited ALAFNA to a Consultancy Meeting with IAEA, to realize in November 2020. During 2020 we performed steps to formalize ALAFNA: Bylaws were proposed and voted. Some ideas from the bylaws: 1. ALAFNA is a regional association of professionals attached to organizations in nuclear science in Latin America. In exceptional situations, they can also be Latin American scientists working in a nuclear science organization in other countries. 2. The Latin American countries that have organized LASNPA meetings can be represented in ALAFNA (until now Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela). 3. The number of ALAFNA members from a member country is at most 3 with a 4 year term. Each country chooses its own method of naming its representatives. In exceptional cases, a country may propose to be represented by a Latin American nuclear scientist working in another country. 4. ALAFNA is governed by a Board composed of four members (Chair, Vice-Chair, Past- Chair, Secretary) elected for one term of 2 years by the members among the current membership by a simple majority. No immediate reelection for the same or a different position in the Board is permitted. Due to pandemic no representatives were yet chosen, no elections for Board.

Forecasts are completely discouraging. For the next 20 years, no country will see a drop in the number of incidences and cases leading to mortality. According to the WHO, a total of 430,000 people died in South America as a result of cancer in 2012. By 2035 the regional projection is 883,000 . Brazil is the South American country with the largest number of new cases of cancer. Currently, there are 437,000 which will see a 90% increase. http://actualidad.rt.com/ciencias/165454-cancer-mortalidad- colombia-ecuador-sudamerica Introduction RISK OF CANCER AND AGE IN LA Men (%) Women Risk Age Información tomada del GRUPO ONCOMEDICA (Dr. Luis Barriga) 1 7/15/2015 Cancer Management Introduction Objectives . local control . survival . quality of life of patients with CANCER Needs – Radiation Oncologist: 1/250 patients .

  • Argentina, Regional Training Center on Radiation Protection for Latin America
    Argentina, Regional Training Center on Radiation Protection for Latin America C. Terrado a* and C. Menossi b * a*Nuclear Regulatory Authority, Ave. Libertador 8250, 1429. Buenos Aires, Argentina b*Nuclear Regulatory Authority, Ave. Libertador 8250, 1429. Buenos Aires, Argentina Abstract Argentina has an extensive background in education and training on Radiation Protection. Since the beginning of the nuclear activity in the country, prominence was given to the aspects related to radiation protection and training of the personnel involved in the use of ionizing radiation. These educative activities have been delivered for more than 50 years, having accumulated an important experience in the field. The Nuclear Regulatory Authority has the statutory obligation to address, among other matters, the control of the aspects of nuclear safety and radiation protection on the whole country, to protect the people of the harmful effects of ionizing radiation resulting from the nuclear activities. This includes the responsibility to develop and enforce the regulations, standards and other requirements, particularly, establishing the requests and promoting activities regarding education and training on radiation protection. Argentina, currently through the Nuclear Regulatory Authority, has performed postgraduate courses on radiation protection and nuclear safety at interregional and regional level for 28 years without interruption. This important experience has been valued and exploited to form a Regional Center on Education and Training for Latin America and the Caribbean, sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The Regional Center that in fact has been running in Argentina, trained 404 foreign participants and 327 local participants since 1980, totalizing 731 graduates from our annual post graduate courses.

The originality of his approaches has led him to achieve two PhD degrees: the first one in Physiological Sciences from the University of Buenos Aires, and the second one in Biomechanics in the University of Paris Denis Diderot VII with the highest qualifications. Given that poverty, malnutrition and enviromental degradation may increase the propensity to cardiovascular diseases, Professor Armentano focused his works to model cardiovascular dynamics in these high-risk groups. Ricardo Armentano has dedicated a considerable amount of time throughout his carreer to set up and train a research group, aware of the importance of an adequate working environment over final results. He created a team consisting of young students, engineers, medical doctors, physicists, mathematicians and other specialists. He centered his attention on human resources to spread out his latest advances and potentially increase the whole research line motivation.
