Abstract We report first-year survival rates of 49 captive-reared Hispaniolan Parrots (Amazona ventralis) released in Parque Nacional del Este, Dominican Republic. Our goal was to learn about factors affecting postrelease survival. Specifically, we tested if survival was related to movements and whether modifying prerelease protocols influenced survival rates. We also estimated survival in the aftermath of Hurricane Georges (22 September 1998). Twenty-four parrots, fitted with radio-transmitters, were released between 14 September and 12 December 1997. Twenty-five more were released between 29 June and 16 September 1998. First-year survival rates were 30% in 1997 and 29% in 1998. Survival probability was related to bird mobility. In contrast to birds released in 1997, none of the 25 parrots released in 1998 suffered early postrelease mortality (i.e., 3–5 days after release). Two adjustments to prerelease protocols (increased exercise and reduced blood sampling) made in 1998 may have contributed to differences in mobility and survival between years. The reduction of early postrelease mortality in 1998 was encouraging, as was the prospect for higher first-year survival (e.g., 30% to 65%). Only one death was attributed to the immediate impact of the hurricane. Loss of foraging resources was likely a major contributor to ensuing mortality. Birds increased their mobility, presumably in search of food. Survival rates dropped 23% in only eight weeks posthurricane. This study underscores the value of standardized prerelease protocols, and of estimating survival and testing for factors that might influence it. Inferences from such tests will provide the best basis to make adjustments to a release program. Supervivencia de Amazona ventralis Criadas en Cautivero y Liberadas en el Parque Nacional del Este, República Dominicana Resumen. Determinamos la supervivencia de 49 individuos de Amazona ventralis criados en cautiverio y liberados en el Parque Nacional del Este, República Dominicana. El proyecto se diseñó para aprender sobre los factores que pueden influenciar la supervivencia de las cotorras dominicanas. Específicamente, pusimos a prueba si la supervivencia estaba relacionada a movimientos y si modificaciones al protocolo de pre-liberación influenciaron la supervivencia. También estimamos la supervivencia de las cotorras después del paso del huracán Georges el 22 de septiembre 1998. En 1997 se liberaron 24 cotorras con radio transmisores entre el 14 de septiembre y el 12 de diciembre. Otras 25 se liberaron entre el 29 de junio y el 16 de septiembre de 1998. La estimación de la supervivencia en 1997 fue de un 30% y en 1998 de un 29%. La probabilidad de supervivencia estuvo relacionada a la movilidad del ave. En comparación con las cotorras liberadas en 1997, ninguna de las cotorras liberadas en 1998 murió durante los primeros 3–5 dias post-liberación. Dos ajustes a los protocolos de pre-liberación en 1998 contribuyeron probablamente a las diferencias en movilidad y supervivencia entre años. Este resultado fue alentador, así como el prospecto de alcanzar tasas más altas de supervivencia (e.g., 30% a 65%). La muerte de sólo una cotorra se atribuye al impacto directo del huracán. La pérdida de recursos alimenticios probablemente contribuyó fuertemente a la mortandad subsiguiente. Las cotorras exhibieron mayor movilidad, presumiblemente en búsqueda de frutos. La tasa de supervivencia disminuyó un 23% en solo ocho semanas después del huracán. Este estudio enfatiza el valor de protocolos de preliberación estandarizados y de estimaciones de tasas de supervivencia que ponen a prueba factores que la puedan influenciar. Las inferencias de dichas pruebas proveerán un mejor fundamento para ajustar los programas de liberación.

In March of 1929, die young Peruvian poet and political activist Magda Portal departed from die Yucatan in Mexico to give a series of lectures in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Colombia. She traveled as an emissary of the Alianza Popular Revolucionaria Americana (American Popular Revolutionary Alliance, APRA), a recendy founded political organization that sought to transform Latin America by creating a united front against foreign imperialism. On July 14, in Santo Domingo she gave a lecture titled “Latin America Confronted by Imperialism,” at “the largest theater in town” to an audience of about 200. Her presence as an intelligent, energetic, and beautiful woman, standing on stages normally reserved to men, enhanced the power of her words, and she was well aware of the striking effect on audiences of seeing a woman in the traditionally male role of political orator

e12500 Background: Breast cancer is a major public health problem. Despite knowing the management, clinicians are forced to provide less than optimal care when diagnostic and/or treatment are lacking. For that, we decided to do a review about breast cancer treatment during the 21 st century in Dr. Heriberto Pieter Oncology Institute. Methods: A retrospective study was done to describe and evaluate the management of patients with breast cancer. A random sample of 100.00 patients was selected, which was reduced to 64.00 after the inclusion-exclusion criteria application like lacking immunohistochemistry, partial treatment. and less than 5 years with the diagnosis. Results: Molecular subtypes included luminal A: estrogen receptor+ and/or progesterone receptor+, Her2Neu3- (44%); luminal B: estrogen receptor + and/or progesterone receptor +, Her2Neu 3+(9%); Her2Neu 3: estrogen receptor-, progesterone receptor -, Her2Neu 3+ (19%); basal-like: estrogen receptor-, progesterone receptor-, Her2Neu3- (28%). Chemotherapy history: 63% with neoadjuvant chemotherapy; 78% with adjuvant chemotherapy, 18.75% as primary and 59.37% as secondary; 17% with palliative chemotherapy, 3% as primary and 14% as secondary. Surgical history: 31% with primary modified radical mastectomy (MRM), 63% with secondary MRM, and 2% with quadrantectomy. Radiotherapy: 11% with primary radiation therapy (RT), 36% with secondary RT, and 3% with palliative RT. Hormonal therapy of patients: 33% with tamoxifen, 11% with aromatase inhibitors, 8% with combination of hormonal therapy, and 22% with extended adjuvant hormone therapy of more than 5 years. Primary endpoints were disease-free survival at 5 years (67%), objective response rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (100% according to RECIST criteria), and overall survival at 5 years (87.5%). Currently in Dominican Republic there is availability of more target therapy for Her2Neu3 like pertuzumab, lapatinib, other drugs for positive hormone receptor named CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib, ribociclib), olaparib for germline BRCA mutation and pembrolizumab for basal like or triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Finally, according to the latest World Health Organization (WHO) data published in 2020, breast cancer deaths in Dominican Republic reached 1,460 or 2.14% of total deaths. The age adjusted death rate is 28.28 per 100,100 and the number of new cases in 2020 for breast cancer was 3,412 (17.2%). Conclusions: This review allows us to track the evolution of breast cancer management in Dominican Republic during the 21st century. It highlights the efforts made to apply guidelines on breast cancer management in general and global objective response to neoadjuvant regimen. It also highlights the need to implement more primary prevention and early detection since 52% of patients belong to the locally advanced category. [Table: see text]
