Collapse Safety of Reinforced Concrete Frames Under Building‐Code Evolution

Carlos A. Arteta · Veronica J. Abuchar · Tayrin Hurtado

Seismic design provisions for reinforced‐concrete (RC) moment frames in Colombia have evolved substantially since 1984, yet their combined effect on collapse safety has remained unquantified. This study assesses typical low‐ to mid‐rise RC spatial frames from three eras: pre‐code (gravity‐only designs), early seismic c...

Abstract Chronic patellar tendon rupture is a rare and challenging injury that compromises knee extension and overall function. Conventional repair often requires augmentation or reconstruction using autografts, allografts, or synthetic materials, with most techniques involving transpatellar tunnels, which increase the...

A43-02 Rethinking Disease Progression in Fibrotic Hp: Ppfe-like Changes as a Red Flag

E J Martinez Brocato · D Romero Rojas · L Vásquez Pinto

Abstract Introduction In non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) interstitial lung disease (ILD), criteria for fibrotic progressive disease are controversial given that some require a 12-month observation to fulfill the diagnosis and start of antifibrotic therapy. However, pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a r...

An End‐to‐End U‐Net Based Framework for Monitoring Páramo Ecosystems in Colombia

Julian Andres Alvarez Villamil · Leonardo Gutiérrez Gómez

Abstract The páramo, referred to as a variety of tundra ecosystems, are considered one of the most essential biomes in South America, as they are primary sources of fresh water for many countries. However, páramos are increasingly threatened by agricultural expansion, livestock grazing, mining activities that cause def...
