IT Expedition is an initiative led by volunteers from the joint chapter between the Computer and Communications Society and the IEEE student branch of the Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Colombia. This program marks the first time we offer half-day technical visits exclusively for our university chapter members, with two visits planned for this year. The first visit is scheduled for mid-April at the Barranquilla Mayor's Office, where participants will tour various departments within the Secretariat of Planning—particularly the IT department. During this visit, students will have the opportunity to observe operations related to IT support, server administration, and more, as well as receive a comprehensive presentation on the suite of software solutions developed at the Mayor's Office to address urban challenges. The second visit, planned for the second semester of the year between September and October, is to Claro, where members will gain further exposure to industry practices and the latest in technology.

3 events,Los sistemas de liberación de fármacos auto-nanoemulsificables (SNEDDS, por sus siglas en inglés) han surgido como una solución innovadora para superar las limitaciones de solubilidad de muchos ingredientes farmacéuticos activos en medios acuosos. Estos sistemas consisten en una mezcla isotrópica anhidra de aceite, tensioactivo, co-tensioactivo y fármaco, que, al entrar en contacto con agua y bajo una ligera agitación, forman espontáneamente nanoemulsiones con tamaños de gota que oscilan entre 10 y 100 nm. Los SNEDDS han demostrado una notable estabilidad frente a fenómenos de desestabilización, consolidándose como herramientas eficaces para mejorar la biodisponibilidad de compuestos terapéuticos mediante una liberación controlada y sostenida. Su capacidad para preservar la integridad de las nanoemulsiones a lo largo del tracto gastrointestinal los posiciona como candidatos ideales para la administración oral, una vía ampliamente preferida por los pacientes debido a su conveniencia y aceptación. Además, su facilidad de preparación y versatilidad ha permitido su aplicación en la encapsulación de una amplia gama de moléculas bioactivas. Para ilustrar su aplicabilidad, diversos estudios realizados con SNEDDS han mostrado resultados notables. En modelos in vitro de cáncer de colon, los SNEDDS cargados con aceite esencial de orégano exhibieron una alta citotoxicidad frente a células de cáncer de colon, incluso a bajas concentraciones. De manera similar, la encapsulación de insulina en estos nanosistemas permitió su protección frente a las condiciones adversas del tracto gastrointestinal, aumentando su biodisponibilidad y logrando una reducción sostenida de los niveles de glucosa en sangre en ratas con diabetes inducida, manteniéndolos por debajo de 100 mg/dL durante al menos cuatro horas. En el caso del ácido betulínico, su incorporación en SNEDDS incrementó su biodisponibilidad más de veinte veces en comparación con su forma libre. Asimismo, los estudios de estabilidad mostraron que las formulaciones a base de aceite esencial de orégano conservaron su tamaño de gota sin alteración durante al menos 80 días, confirmando su robustez estructural. Este trabajo explorará en detalle los mecanismos de formación de los SNEDDS, su caracterización fisicoquímica mediante diversas técnicas analíticas y sus principales aplicaciones biológicas. Esta tecnología representa no solo una estrategia moderna para la formulación de nanoemulsiones altamente estables, sino también una plataforma terapéutica versátil y prometedora, particularmente adecuada para el diseño de tratamientos con fármacos lipofílicos y péptidos de bajo peso molecular, dado su potencial impacto en enfermedades de alta prevalencia y relevancia clínica, como el cáncer y la diabetes.
