ABSTRACT
Background: Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale (RPE) is a psychophysiological measurements that translates physical stimuli to a psychological construct, which is perceived exertion. Its use is simple and it represents the effort perception. Each number of the scale is associated with a heart rate or percentage of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), which estimates the intensity of exercise. Aim: To validate RPE scale in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Material and Methods: Thirty five DM2 participants with a median age of 59 years underwent an incremental exercise test in a treadmill with breath-by-breath analysis of oxygen consumption. After every three minute stage, the RPE scale was applied and correlated with oxygen consumption variables. Results: There was correlation coefficient of 0.91 between RPE score and VO2max. A RPE score of 11 corresponded to 52% of VO2max, a RPE score of 13 corresponded to 76% of VO2max, a RPE of 15 corresponded to 88% of VO2max and a RPE of 17 correspondent to a 100% of VO2max. Conclusions: RPE Scale is valid in patients with type 2 diabetes as an estimate of the intensity of physical activity.

Se presenta la experiencia con la colangiografía selectiva del colédoco terminal. La utilización de una placa oclusal de uso odontológico intraabdominal, colocada detrás del duodenopáncreas movilizado, permite obtener imágenes claras y precisas del confluente bilio-duodeno-pancreático, no obtenidas con los métodos convencionales.

Se presenta la experiencia personal del autor y los resultados con la extracción incruenta percutánea de cálculos biliares residuales en 105 pacientes. El alto porcentaje de éxitos (95%) y la bajísima morbilidad del método, lo colocan en primer lugar en el arsenal terapéutico del cirujano ante la evidencia de una litiasis residual postoperatoria
