Nuestras publicaciones precedentes: Los seis (6) números de la revista “La Aurora”; el “Glosario de Nombres, Sobrenombres y algo más …” (1ª. Y 2da. Edición); el libro “Palabras y Sueños”, recibidas con gran entusiasmo por un público ávido de emociones telúricas y prodigado por nostálgicas remembranzas; avivaron mi compromiso de continuar profundizando en el estudio de nuestras raíces, para felizmente engendrar y desarrollar un trabajo más documentado, bibliografía básica de nuestro entorno. El continuo e incesante trajinar en archivos y oficinas; El hurgar en libros, folletos y periódicos; El auscultar la invalorable presencia de los corresponsales de la memoria colectiva, depositarios de la tradición oral; El montar y desmontar la prolífera información recolectada; son actividades que ocuparon mi tiempo durante los últimos veinte (20) años, refrescando y abonando nuestro amor por este municipio, y que han permitido ahondar, siguiendo la teoría de Emmanuel Kant referida al conocimiento y a la moral, en el comportamiento y vivencia de “la razón de ser”, existencial y espiritual, de nuestra gente. 3 “MIRANDA, la de Carabobo.

    57th DIRECTING COUNCIL 71st SESSION OF THE REGIONAL COMMITTEE OF WHO FOR THE AMERICAS Washington, D.C., USA, 30 September-4 October 2019 Provisional Agenda Item 7.7 CD57/INF/7 30 August 2019 Original: English PAHO’S RESPONSE TO MAINTAINING AN EFFECTIVE TECHNICAL COOPERATION AGENDA IN VENEZUELA AND NEIGHBORING MEMBER STATES Background 1. The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, a federal republic with more than 30 million inhabitants, has been facing a sociopolitical and economic situation that has negatively impacted social and health indicators. 2. Outbreaks of diphtheria, measles, and malaria have spread rapidly, affecting many of the country’s 23 states and the Capital District simultaneously. Other public health concerns include increases in tuberculosis cases and in maternal and infant mortality (1), as well as issues around mental health and violence prevention.1 A further concern is the limited access to medicines, adequate nutrition, and adequate care for people with life- threatening acute and chronic conditions, including people living with HIV. 3. There have been intensified population movements both within the country and to other countries, particularly Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago. Since 2017, an estimated 4 million Venezuelans have migrated to other countries, including an estimated 3.3 million who have gone to other Latin America and Caribbean countries: 1.3 million to Colombia, 806,900 to Peru, 288,200 to Chile, 263,000 to Ecuador, 168,400 to Brazil, 145,000 to Argentina, 94,400 to Panama, 40,000 to Trinidad and Tobago, 39,500 to Mexico, and 36,400 to Guyana, among others (figures as of July 2019) (2).

  • Molecular and Epidemiologic Characterization of the Diphtheria Outbreak in Venezuela Ricardo A
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Molecular and epidemiologic characterization of the diphtheria outbreak in Venezuela Ricardo A. Strauss1*, Laura Herrera‑Leon2, Ana C. Guillén4, Julio S. Castro3, Eva Lorenz1, Ana Carvajal5, Elizabeth Hernandez5, Trina Navas11, Silvana Vielma8, Neiris Lopez12, Maria G. Lopez10, Lisbeth Aurenty10, Valeria Navas9, Maria A. Rosas6, Tatiana Drummond5, José G. Martínez5, Erick Hernández8, Francis Bertuglia7, Omaira Andrade7, Jaime Torres3, Jürgen May1, Silvia Herrera‑Leon2 & Daniel Eibach1 In 2016, Venezuela faced a large diphtheria outbreak that extended until 2019. Nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal samples were prospectively collected from 51 suspected cases and retrospective data from 348 clinical records was retrieved from 14 hospitals between November 2017 and November 2018. Confrmed pathogenic Corynebactrium isolates were biotyped. Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) was performed followed by next‑generation‑based core genome‑MLST and minimum spanning trees were generated. Subjects between 10 and 19 years of age were mostly afected (n = 95; 27.3%). Case fatality rates (CFR) were higher in males (19.4%), as compared to females (15.8%). The highest CFR (31.1%) was observed among those under 5, followed by the 40 to 49 age‑group (25.0%). Nine samples corresponded to C. diphtheriae and 1 to C. ulcerans. Two Sequencing Types (ST), ST174 and ST697 (the latter not previously described) were identifed among the eight C. diphtheriae isolates from Carabobo state. Cg‑MLST revealed only one cluster also from Carabobo. The Whole Genome Sequencing analysis revealed that the outbreak seemed to be caused by diferent strains with C. diphtheriae and C. ulcerans coexisting. The reemergence and length of this outbreak suggest vaccination coverage problems and an inadequate control strategy.

PROGRAM NOTES by David Niemeyer You may not be familiar with the name Aldemaro Romero, but you have probably heard his work many times over several decades. He worked with non-classical musicians including Dean Martin, Jerry Lee Lewis, Stan Kenton, and Tito Puente. In addition, Romero was a classical musician who was a guest conductor for the London Symphony Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra, and the Royal Phil- harmonic Orchestra, and he founded the Caracas Philharmonic Orchestra. As a composer, Romero stuck to his Venezuelan roots, as evidenced by the Quartet for Saxophones.
