“Valentín and the Little Invaders” is the result of an interdisciplinary work carried out by a research team which developed a video and a story aimed at preventing infantile parasitic diseases. The materials are aimed at primary school children. In order to design them, they carried out a knowledge recovery work, previous ideas, practices and attitudes about parasitic diseases in families which live in Salsipuedes.

A control mechanism to achieve the inactivation of microorganisms which are damaging for the health such as the bacterium Escherichia coli, present in semi-elaborated meat products was developed by researchers of the School of Exact Sciences. The work, which was carried out through the analysis of blood sausages is applicable to any kind of precooked meat. The coliform bacterium present in food can cause the development of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, a lethal disease.
When the baby is breastfeed he receives microorganisms called bifid bacteria which help the development of their immune system. Scientists of the UNL and the Conicet isolated those components, cultivated and conserved them to incorporate them to a product which imitates breast milk. In the development stage of the trial the results evidence that the intake of improved milk increased the production of immunoglobulin A.
The result of an investigation carried out in Córdoba was to counteract the strong bitter taste and the low solubility of the antibiotics of the family fluoroquinolones -used to treat urinary and respiratory tract infections-. A pharmacist from the School of Chemical Sciences added saccharin to the original drug, which made easier the oral consumption of the medicine in animals, as well as in humans and favored the intestinal absorption of the drug.
Activadas por el calentamiento progresivo de la Tierra y la deforestación de los bosques, enfermedades peligrosas y exóticas atraviesan las fronteras hasta llegar a regiones en las que no estaban presentes. InfoUniversidades presenta un informe de la UNC en el que se analiza cómo se modifica el mapa de las patologías asociadas con el cambio climático y su impacto en Latinoamérica, y explica qué es la “epidemiología panorámica”, un método que emplea satélites para predecir la aparición de nuevos males. Dengue, peste bubónica, fiebre amarilla, chagas, gripe aviar, babesiosis, cólera, enfermedad de Lyme, ébola, marea roja, leishmaniasis, todas ellas patologías que se propagan con la modificación global del ambiente.
Con el objetivo de conocer la situación epidemiológica de las infecciones de tracto digestivo en poblaciones pediátricas de Rosario, un grupo de investigadores de Farmacia y Bioquímica de la UNR analizó la salud y forma de vida de los habitantes de diferentes zonas de la ciudad. Esta clase de males provocan trastornos en el crecimiento y el desarrollo.
