Madam Hortensia followed her routine to a tee, until one day
everything went wrong… what a disaster! A wonderful story, full
of humor, about the importance of tackling new challenges. Do you
dare to change?Madam Hortensia lives life in a straight line, never
straying a step out of her daily routine. Was she finicky?
Not quite, she just liked everything to be perfectly to her liking.
Her alarm clock rang every day at 07:18 sharp. Not one minute
before, or one minute after. Then her planned routine would begin
in extreme detail, and nothing could possibly go wrong. But one
morning, her alarm does not go off on time and her life spins into
a whirlwind. Suddenly, she finds herself doing entirely new things
she has never tried before. With wit and charm, this delightful
tale shares what happens when we learn to embrace change and open
our minds to possibility. Doña Hortensia seguÃa su rutina al pie
de la letra hasta que un dÃa todo se torció… ¡menudo desastre!
Un cuento maravilloso, lleno de humor, sobre la importancia de
abordar nuevos retos. ¿Te atreves a cambiar?Para Doña Hortensia
cada dÃa era igual y lo vivÃa sin salirse ni un milÃmetro de su
rutina habitual. ¿Era perfeccionista? No exactamente; simplemente
le gustaban que todo estuviera perfectamente a su gusto. Cada
mañana se levantaba a las 07:18 en punto; ni un minuto antes, ni
un minuto después. Entonces empezaba su rutina planificada en
extremo detalle, y nada podÃa fallar. Hasta que, una mañana, la
alarma del despertador no sonó a la misma hora y… ¡Todo lo que
ocurrió después fue como un torbellino que le despeinó las
ideas! De repente, se encontró disfrutando de situaciones nuevas
que antes ni siquiera hubiese podido imaginar. Una divertida
historia que nos muestra, con ingenio y sentido del humor, lo que
ocurre cuando nos atrevemos a abandonar nuestra zona de confort y
abrimos la mente a nuevas posibilidades.

Also available in Spanish as AlegriaJoy, the elf, has gone missing
from Mateo's life. The Ragdoll Witch has cast a spell to
immediately grant each one of Mateo's wishes so that Joy is no
longer needed. How will Mateo ever find Joy again?
For human health, leishmaniasis is among the most important
protozoan diseases, superseded only by malaria. Globally, 10 to 12
million people are infected with 1.5 million new cases every year.
The development of cheaper new drugs is urgently needed for this
neglected disease that is developing resistance to current
treatments. Chemotherapy remains the only treatment option for the
bulk of patients. However, this is largely unaffordable for most.
In the past three years numerous advances in drug discovery have
been made for treating this disease by exploiting diverging
metabolic pathways between the Leishmania enzymes and their hosts,
using nanotechnology to target the immune cell phagolysosomes where
Leishmania resides. Drug Discovery for Leishmaniasis aims to
provide a perspective of the current treatments and their
challenges, blended with the emerging strategies and methodologies
that will drive new target appraisals and drug developments, as
well as addressing the molecular basis of resistance in Leishmania.
Recent studies have shown that leishmaniasis affects some of the
poorest people in the world, with 95% of fatal cases occurring in
only 6 countries. With the WHO goal of eliminating this public
health problem in the South-east Asia Region by 2020, this book
will be important for anyone who is interested in neglected
tropical diseases.
