ABSTRACT

Resumen


Introducción: en México el uso de las terapias alternativas es popular. El personal de enfermería es por excelencia el educador del paciente y la familia; por lo tanto, sus actitudes y opiniones son relevantes acerca del uso de las TA.


Objetivo: conocer el uso de las terapias alternativas que hace el personal de enfermería y su opinión y actitudes en torno a ese uso con los pacientes y la familia.


Metodología: estudio descriptivo transversal, mediante el cual se le aplicaron 268 cuestionarios al personal de enfermería. El cuestionario fue diseñado ex profeso y validado para su aplicación.


Resultados: el 68% utilizó terapias alternativas y la mitad consideró que son seguras, el 27% mencionó que las recomienda a los pacientes y el 5% tuvo conocimiento del tema. El uso personal se asoció con la recomendación.


Conclusiones: la mayoría no indaga el antecedente del uso de terapias alternativas que hacen los pacientes. La recomendación de su uso se basa probablemente en la experiencia personal.


Abstract


Introduction: In Mexico the use of alternative therapies is popular. Par excellence, the nursing staff educates the patient and the family members; therefore, nursing staffs attitudes and opinions are relevant about the use of these therapies.


Objective: To know the use of alternative therapies by the nursing staff and their opinion and attitudes with patients and family concerning this use.


Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study. 268 questionnaires were administered to the nursing staff. The questionnaire was designed with a purpose and validated.


Results: 68% of the nurse staff used alternative therapies, half believed these therapies are safe, 27% recommended them to patients, and 5% had knowledge of the subject. Personal use was associated with the recommendation.


Conclusions: The majority of the nursing staff does not investigate the antecedent of the use of alternative therapies by patients. The recommendation of its use is probably based on personal experience.

ABSTRACT

A total of 119 children (1990-95) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) B-lineage either CD10+or CD10- were registered into a single non-randomized chemotherapy protoco. Only untreated patients with standard risk were included in the study. Their ages ranges from 1.8-10 years with a mean of 5.1 years. There were 82 (68 percent) children with early pre B-All, 35 (29 percent) with pre B-All and 2 (1.6 percent) with transititional pre B-All (p<0.00001). The patients were divided according to CD10 reactivity, either + (94 children) or -(25 patients). The event-free survival (EFS) at 60 months for the CD10+children was of 78 percent (alive 73/94), while for the CD10- was 71 percent (alive 18/25) (p=0.6) and 74 percent for both groups. The factors that influenced favorably the survival in the CD10+group were the age between 3 to 5.99 years (p<0.00001), sex (either male or female), leukocyte count between 10.24.9 x 10-9/l (p<0.00001), LDH under 300 U/I (p<0.00001) and L1 bone marrow cytomorphology (p<0.00001). In the CD10- patients, the EFS was favorably influenced by the female sex (p=0.04), leukocyte count under 10 x 10-9/l (p=0.05) and LDH < 300 U/l (p=0.02). CNS infiltration was documented in 4.2 percent (5/119). Mortality secondary to chemotherapy was seen in 7 percent. In conclusion, this is the first large series in Mexican children with B-lineage ALL published. Because of the relatively small number of patients in each group (pre B and transitional pre B), all the patients in the current serieswere treated alike. When the 119 patients were divided only on the basis of CD10 reactivity, the EFS for both groups (CD10+ and') was similar; therefore, the reactivity to CD10 has no prognostic value in this type of ALL

ABSTRACT

El retinoblastoma (RB), constituye el tumor sólido más frecuente que presentan los pacientes que acuden al Instituto Nacional de Pediatría (INP) para atenderse. La presentación bilateral ocupa el 25 por ciento de los pacientes con RB. Se presentan algunas de las características epidemiológicas de la enfermedad bilateral con la intención de conocer las variables epidemiológicas más frecuentes en nuestra institución. Se revisaron los expedientes de 22 años del INP, en búsqueda de pacientes con RB bilateral investigando: sexo, edad, sincronía de la enfermedad bilateral, presencia de antecedentes familiares, etapa clínica de la enfermedad además de la presencia de segundas neoplasias. Existe predominio del sexo masculino 1.6:1.0 p=0.04 versus femenino. La distribución por estadio clínico quirúrgico fue: estadio retiniano 9/102 (9 por ciento), ocular 58/102 (57 por ciento), orbitario 26/102 (25 por ciento) y 9/102 (9 por ciento) no clasificables (p<0.00001). La forma asincrónica es rara en nuestra serie 16/105 (15 por ciento) p=0.00001. Los antecedentes heredofamiliares fueron positivos en 16/105 (15 por ciento). La frecuencia de segundas neoplasias encontradas fue 2/105 (0.01 por ciento). Por último, la forma asincrónica es inexistente en nuestra serie. No tenemos explicación etiológica posible para el número de casos tan elevados. La frecuencia de segundas neoplasias es inferior a las series reportadas aunque el seguimiento de estos casos deberá continuarse
