    Description: Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a bacterium identified by Robert Koch in 1882 and that after a little more than a century, is recognized as the leading cause of death due to an infectious disease. TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also affect other organs. Because its transmission is from person to person by inhalation of droplet-containing-bacteria suspended in the air, this disease is a public health concern. Daily, health workers are exposed to numerous hazards, including close contact with infectious patients and their potentially contaminated environment. It is estimated that about 1,000 health workers contract HIV,for reasons of their work and it is presumed that cases of tuberculosis, exceeds this number. Among the factors that explain the risk of infection with the consequent development of active TB are: the number of patients with TB treated, the function or occupation, the workplace, the delay in the diagnosis of patients and most importantly the lack of biosafety policies and measures in work environments, which facilitates direct exposure. We present here a current review of the status of occupational TB in the city of Cali during 2015 to 2017. This work was supported by the city’s municipal health secretariat and the TB program. We emphasize the importance of continuing the evaluation of this disease in vulnerable populations such as health workers and evaluate the preventive measures suggested by international agencies (Pan American Health Organization and Center for Disease Control) to mitigate the impact of TB in the city.

    Description: La tuberculosis es una enfermedad infecciosa crónica, producida por Mycobacterium tuberculosis, una bacteria identificada por Robert Koch en 1882 y que posterior a un poco más de un siglo, es reconocida como la causa líder de muertes debidas a una enfermedad infecciosa. Por lo general, tiene afectación pulmonar, pero también puede afectar otros órganos. Debido a que su transmisión es de persona a persona por inhalación de partículas contaminados con el microorganismo que están suspendidos en el ambiente, esta enfermedad en un problema de salud pública. A diario, los trabajadores de la salud se encuentran expuestos a numerosos peligros, siendo los contaminantes biológicos uno de los principales riesgos. A nivel mundial, se estima que cerca de 1.000 trabajadores de la salud contraen VIH en el mundo y se presume que los casos de tuberculosis ocupacional supera esta cifra. Entre los factores que explican el riesgo de infección con el consecuente desarrollo de TB activa se destacan: la cantidad de pacientes con TB atendidos, la función u ocupación, el sitio de trabajo, el retraso en el diagnóstico de los pacientes y lo más importante la falta de políticas y medidas de bioseguridad en los entornos laborales, que facilita la exposición sea directa. Presentamos aquí una revisión actual del estado de la TB ocupacional en la ciudad de Cali entre 2015 y 2017. Este trabajo fue apoyado por la Secretaría Municipal de Salud de la ciudad y el programa de TB. Resaltamos la importancia de continuar la evaluación de esta enfermedad en población vulnerable como son los trabajadores de la salud y evaluar las medidas preventivas sugeridas por instancias internacionales (Organización Panamericana de la Salud y el Center for Disease Control) para mitigar el impacto de la TB en la ciudad.

    Description: El cerro de Alarcos (Ciudad Real): Formación y desarrollo de un oppidum ibérico presents the results of archaeological work which has been carried out since 1997 in so-called Sector III of the Alarcos site, located on a hill next to the Guadiana river, a few kilometres from Ciudad Real. These archaeological campaigns have made it possible to obtain essential information to understand the communities that, from the end of the Bronze Age to the end of the Iron Age, inhabited this large town and its surrounding area. An interesting set of structures and other evidence of material culture have been recovered, which allow us to characterize the daily activities of people between the 10th-11th century BC and, in addition, they enable us to understand the paleoenvironment of this territory and the nature of the economy and the food transformation activities of these protohistoric populations. The use of this territory has been determined over the centuries, being originally a residential area which later, in Iberian times, assumed economic functionality, as it was intended for grain storage, grinding and cooking food. The documentation of a wide and varied repertoire of ceramic materials and an interesting set of foreign ceramics corroborates the dynamism this settlement achieved, during both the Pre-Iberian period and the full Iberian period."

    Description: Tuberculosis is a global public health problem. The program for Tuberculosis control of Cali must adopt one of their fundamental pillars: research and innovation, for which it requires evaluating the literature developed locally about this disease, in order to establish a baseline of scientific production, to be able to create improvement strategies and public health policies in this regard. The objective of this study has been to conduct an inventory of the scientific production on Tuberculosis in Cali, between 2007 and 2016, identifying the research which contributed to the implementation of control and prevention actions. Finished works were sought such as they were based in any area of knowledge in Tuberculosis in different databases, physical repositories of local university libraries, platforms of scientific groups and met with researchers and staff of the municipal and departmental Secretary of Public Health. Ninety four documents were identified, developed by 13 different institutions.
