ABSTRACT

Cervical cancer (CC) is caused by persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and affects women worldwide. The progression of an HPV persistent infection to CC is influenced by genetic factors. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TP53, NQO1 and RPS19 genes (rs1042522, rs1800566, rs2305809, respectively) were previously associated with CC in European and North American populations. The present case-control study aimed to investigate the association of the SNPs rs1042522, rs1800566, and rs2305809 with CC in an admixed population in southern Brazil. A total of 435 women (106 CC patients and 329 controls) were recruited for this study. All women were interviewed and underwent clinical sampling. SNPs rs1042522 and rs1800566 were evaluated by PCR-RFLP. SNP rs2305809 was determined by real-time PCR. The crude and adjusted ORs with 95% CI were estimated. The recessive genetic model (C/C + C/T) for rs2305809 was more frequent in the control group (79.9%) compared to the cases (69.8%), being associated with CC protection ((adjusted)OR = 0.49; 95% CI: 0.27–0.90). However, the other polymorphisms evaluated did not present significant differences between cases and controls. This study detected a protective association for the recessive genetic model in rs2305809. These results suggest a potential role of the RPS19 gene in CC.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar las diferencias en cuanto a tasas de éxito y complicaciones entre las apendicetomías abiertas (AA) y laparoscópicas (AL), practicadas en niños con apendicitis aguda (aa) en el Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño (INSN) durante el periodo 2006-2007. Material y métodos: Se revisaron todas las historias clínicas de los pacientes con aa, sometidos a una apendicectomía en el INSN del 2006 al 2007, para comparar las tasas de éxito y complicaciones entre las AA y AL. Resultados: Un total de 1005 apendicectomías se analizaron, incluyendo 814 AA y 191 AL. Se encontraron diferencias en cuanto a la distribución de aa complicadas con peritonitis, siendo la mayoría de estos casos sometidos a una AA (55 por ciento vs 32 por ciento). Las AA registraron un tiempo quirúrgico significativamente menor que las AL (72 ± 31 min. vs. 95 ± 36 min.), asociándose con una mayor frecuencia de estancias hospitalarias mayores o iguales de una semana (36 por ciento vs 22 por ciento). La tasa de éxito y complicaciones fue estimada en 54.5 por ciento y 42.5 por ciento para las AA, y en 77.5 por ciento y 21.5 por ciento para las AL. La tasa de conversiones fue 3.7 por ciento. Se encontró que tanto la presencia de peritonitis (ORa, 3.86) como el tiempo quirúrgico (ORa, 1.01) se asociaban a una mayor incidencia de complicaciones, mientras que el abordaje laparoscópico (ORa, 0.34) y la edad del paciente (ORa, 0.95) actuaban como factores protectores. Conclusiones: Las AL constituirían una alternativa más eficaz y segura que las AA en el manejo de las aa en el paciente pediátrico. La incidencia de complicaciones se incrementa significativamente cuando el paciente padece de peritonitis o cuando el tiempo quirúrgico se prolonga, y disminuye significativamente si el paciente es sometido a una AL o su edad aumenta.


Aim: To determine whether there were differences in the success and complication rates between open appendectomies (OA) versus laparoscopic appendectomies (LA) practiced in children with acute appendicitis (aa) at the National Institute of Child Health (NICH) during years 2006-2007. Material and methods: We reviewed the medical records of all patients with aa, treated with an appendectomy at the NICH during the years 2006-2007, in order to compare success rates and complications due to OA versus LA. Results: A total of 1005 appendectomies could be analyzed, including 814 OA and 191 LA. We found differences in the distribution of complicated appendicitis with peritonitis, the majority of these cases underwent OP (55 per cent vs. 32 per cent). Also we found that OA showed a significantly lower surgical time than the LA (72 ± 31 min vs. 95 ± 36 min), this in turn being associated with an increased frequency of hospital stays of more or equal to one week (36 per cent vs. 22 per cent). The success and complication rate was estimated at 54.5 per cent and 42.5 per cent for OA, and 77.5 per cent and 21.5 per cent for LA, respectively. Furthermore, the rate of conversion from LA was estimated at 3.7 per cent. We found that LA showed significantly higher success rate and a lower complication rate that the OA. Finally, after modeling the incidence of complications we found that both the presence of peritonitis (OR, 3.86) and operative time (OR, 1.01) were associated with greater incidence of complications, whereas the laparoscopic approach (aOR, 0.34) and age (aOR, 0.95) acted as potential protective factors. Conclusions: LA will be an effective and safe alternative to OA in the management of aa in the pediatric patient. The incidence of complications increases significantly when the patient has peritonitis or prolonged surgical time, and decreases significantly if the patient undergoes a LA or if your age increases.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta un trabajo sobre el uso del aceite de girasol ozonizado (oleozón) en la epidermofitosis de los pies, cuyo objetivo principal fue el de generalizar el uso del oleozón en todos los militares que presentaban dicha afección atendidos en el Hospital Militar "Dr. Carlos J. Finlay" en 1998, procedentes de consulta externa, exámenes médicos de control de salud, comisiones médicas e ingresados. Se trataron 257 pacientes, y se curaron 227 enfermos (88,3 porciento). La respuesta según forma clínica más efectiva fue en la escamosa y macerada. No se presentaron efectos adversos. Se realiza una introducción que especifica las características del oleozón, se hace referencia a sus ventajas económicas y sociales(AU) ,

ABSTRACT

Se presentan 2 casos de cromomicosis de localización poco usual, uno en la cara y otro en la región auricular. Aunque estas 2 zonas son de gran vulnerabilidad en relación con los traumas, en la literatura revisada se recogen pocos casos en estas regiones
