Recent advances in deep learning have successfully dealt with this complexity in visible images. However, the efficacy of these segmentation techniques for other modalities of interests such as X-ray images is not known. We propose a unified semantic segmentation approach of body parts for both X-ray and visible images which can be concurrently applied to both modalities. Unifying the two modalities in a single model not only reduces the number of parameters, but also improves the accuracy by enabling end-to-end training and inference. Quantitative results are validated on two clinical applications: (1) a static analysis of hand segmentation in visible and X-ray images; and (2) a dynamic analysis which quantifies and classifies epileptic seizures from clinical manifestations of visible hand and finger motions. The proposed model is a potential stepping stone towards developing more robust automated systems that support the assessment of medical conditions based on multimodal information.

It is presented as a radiography of the program, which allows visualizing strengths and areas of opportunity in a relatively young educational program with great potential. The intention is to present the experience developed for compliance with established standards by the accrediting organization, as well as to be a source of inspiration for future educational programs to be evaluated.

Se realizo una comparacion de dos zonas de estudio que corresponde al Tintal y al Herbario. En este estudio se analizaron los tractos digestivos de 136 individuos de G. yucatana. Que se colectaron en los meses de octubre y noviembre del 2010. Se encontro que la dieta general consta de 7 componentes alimenticios que son de origen animal, registrandose que la mayoria de los componentes fueron insectos, como: dipteros (54%) como alimento primario, los Ostracodos (18%), Gasteropodos (17%), e Himenopteros (13%) como alimento secundario. Los accidentales fueron Quelicerados (4%), Odonata (3%) y Plecoptera (1%).

Se toma como principal escenario el Centro para la Investigacion y Rehabilitacion de las ataxias hereditarias en la ciudad de Holguin, Cuba. Este es el unico centro en el pais dedicado al diagnostico, tratamiento y rehabilitacion de las personas con este padecimiento. Se analiza la escasa existencia de investigaciones sociales relacionadas con el tema, y se enfatiza en la sociologia de la salud como principal protagonista en esta conexion, que busca jerarquizar la informacion referida a estos contextos sociales, asi como algunos componentes sociales relacionados con la sociologia de la familia y la comunicacion. Por eso el objetivo es fundamentar la importancia de elaborar una estrategia de gestion del conocimiento en el Centro para la Investigacion y Rehabilitacion de las Ataxias Hereditarias para la investigacion y rehabilitacion de las ataxias hereditarias, ...

The main site chosen for the research was the Center for the Research and Rehabilitation of Hereditary Ataxias in Holguin City, Cuba. This is the only center in the country which is devoted to the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of people suffering from this condition and it is also the only of its kind in the world. The limited existence of social researches related to that subject matter is analyzed and it is placed emphasis on health sociology as the main subject of this connection, which aims at organizing information concerning these social contexts in order of importance, as well as some social components related to family sociology and communication. The existent bibliographic sources were reviewed, besides the observation and direct participation of the authors. As a result, the main problems that hinder the good development of social researches on Ataxias (SCA...
