ABSTRACT

El frenillo lingual corto, o anquiloglosia, puede generar problemas durante la lactancia con repercusión en el desarrollo del lactante, daño en el pezón de la madre y abandono precoz de la lactancia. Actualmente no existe homogeneidad en los criterios diagnósticos, lo que ocasiona tanto sobrediagnóstico como infradiagnóstico de esta alteración, con las consecuencias clínicas que ello conlleva. La dificultad en el abordaje radica en saber cuándo se trata de variantes anatómicas normales o de un frenillo lingual sin repercusión funcional, y cuándo los problemas de lactancia, que clásicamente se le atribuyen se deben realmente al frenillo. Alrededor del 50 % de los niños con frenillo lingual corto no presenta problemas de lactancia o estos se resuelven con apoyo y asesoramiento. En el resto de casos se puede recurrir a tratamiento quirúrgico. En este artículo se ha realizado una actualización de la clasificación y tratamiento de la anquiloglosia que permitirá a los profesionales un manejo adecuado de estos pacientes


Short frenulum, or ankyloglossia, may lead to breastfeeding problems, with an impact on infant development, nipple damage, and early abandonment of breastfeeding. There are currently no homogeneous diagnostic criteria, thus leading to both overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis and associated clinical consequences. The challenge to approach this condition lies in establishing whether it is a normal anatomical variation or a lingual frenulum without a functional impact and when breastfeeding difficulties which are typically attributed to it are actually caused by the frenulum. Approximately 50 % of ankyloglossia cases do not result in breastfeeding problems or these can be resolved with support and advice. Surgery may be proposed for the rest of the cases. This article offers an update on the classification and treatment of ankyloglossia, which will help health care providers to provide an adequate management to these patients

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Describir la distribución de las arritmias referidas a un centro privado de electrofisiología de la segunda región, conocer la efectividad inmediata de la terapia ablativa, su rendimiento según las diferentes etiologías y las complicaciones más frecuentemente observadas. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de los estudios electrofisiológicos (EEF) realizados en Antofagasta entre 1996 y 2007. Se incluyeron 616 pacientes, 321 hombres y 295 mujeres, cuyas edades fluctuaron entre 11 y 91. El promedio fue 49 años. A cada paciente se le consignó, la indicación de EEF, si fue o no ablativo, y la conclusión. Resultados: Las indicaciones de EEF fueron en 45 por ciento de los casos Taquicardias Paroxísticas Supraventriculares (TPSV), seguidos por un 14,3 por ciento de Flutter Auricular (FF), un 14,3 por ciento de Síncope y/o trastornos de la conducción, un 11,5 por ciento por Taquicardia Ventricular (TV), 2,9 por ciento por Enfermedad del Nodo, un 1,8 por ciento por Síndrome de Brugaday 10,2 por ciento otras indicaciones. De 616 pacientes, 408 de ellos se realizó terapia de Ablación por radiofrecuencia (ARF), el 88,9 por ciento fue efectivo, 4,2 por ciento parcialmente efectivo (PE) y 6,9 por ciento no efectivos (NE). La efectividad (E) de ARF según etiología fue 93,3 por ciento la Vía Lenta Anterógrada (VLA), 93,3 por ciento Flutter Istmo dependiente, 92,2 por ciento Vías accesorias (VA) y 80,7 por ciento otras etiologías. Del 6,9 por ciento NE el 2,7 por ciento fue FF, 0,99 por ciento vía accesoria lateral izquierda (VALI), 0,74 por ciento taquicardias auriculares, 0,74 por ciento TV, y 1,73 por ciento misceláneas. Las complicaciones fueron perforaciones de cavidades derechas (0,3 por ciento), adenitis inguinal (0,15 por ciento). No existió bloqueo atrioventricular ni mortalidad. Conclusión: La principal indicación fue TPSV. El procedimiento resultó altamente eficaz, siendo la VLA lacon mayor efectividad. La menor E fue F...


Background: electrophysiologic studies and ablation therapy is becoming more frequent in Chile. Aim: to describe the distribution of arrhythmias referred to a private electrophysiology center in Antofagasta, to assess immediate efficacy of ablation therapy and incidence of complications. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the electrophysiology studies performed in Antofagasta between 1996 and 2007, including 616 patients, 321 men and 295 women, with age range between 11 and 91 years old, (average 49). In every patient, the indication for electrophysiological study, whether or not ablation was performed, and the results were recorded. Results: Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia was the indication for 45 percent of electrophysiological studies.14.3 percent were cases of Atrial Flutter, 14.3 percent of Syncope and/or Conduction disorders, 11.5 percent of Ventricular Tachycardia, 2.9 percent of Sinus Node Disease, 1.8 percent of Brugada´s Syndrome and 10.2 percent corresponded to other indications. Of 616 patients, 408 were submitted to radiofrequency ablation therapy. This was effective in 88.9 percent, partially effective in 4.2 percent and failed in 6.9 percent, The effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation according to etiology was 96.5 percent for Antegrade Slow Pathway cases, 93.3 percent in Isthmus-dependent Flutter, 93.2 percent for Accessory Pathway ablation and 80.7 percent in other etiologies. The 6.9 percent failed cases corresponded to Flutter (2.6 percent), Left Lateral Accessory Pathway (0,99 percent), Auricular Tachycardia (0.74 percent), Ventricular Tachycardia (0.74 percent), and miscellaneous (1.73 percent). The complications were perforation of right cavities (0,3 percent) and inguinal adenitis (0,15 percent). There was no mortality or atrioventricular block. Conclusion: The main indication for radiofrequency ablation in Antofagasta was Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia. The procedure turned out to be...

ABSTRACT

In the cases where a primary anastomosis is unable after a duodenal resection, special care must be taken to avoid any complication in the duodenal stump such as suture dehiscence. Wall inflammation is an important factor in the development of this complication. We report a case of a 35-year-old woman who had previously undergone to pyloric exclusion due to a wall defect occurred after a bilio-digestive anastomosis, which complicated with a posterior duodenal stump dehiscence. The acute edema of the stump walls that resulted after it because exposure to bile conducted to heroic measures for its closure: first, the use of a polytetrafluoroethylene tube as duodenostomy and posteriorly a patch of the same material for its final closure. Both gave successful results in the repair of a refractory duodenal stump dehiscence.

ABSTRACT

The morphology of the rat lung was studied by light microscopy in different situations: after surgical and pharmacological castration and after administration of testosterone to the castrated rat to determine if the androgen is required to maintain the normal morphology of the lung. We also determined the effect of flutamide on the phospholipid composition of both the surfactant and microsomes of the lung. Rats were separated into five groups: I - control non-castrated rats, II - castrated rats sacrificed 21 days after castration, III - castrated rats that received testosterone daily from day 2 to day 21 after castration, IV - castrated rats that received testosterone from day 15 to day 21 after castration, and V - control rats injected with flutamide for 7 days. The amount of different phospholipids in the surfactant and microsomes of the lung was measured in group I and V rats. At the light microscopy level, the surgical and pharmacological castration provoked alterations in the morphology of the lung, similar to that observed in human lung emphysema. The compositions of surfactant and microsomes of the lung were similar to those previously reported by us for the surgically castrated rats. These results indicate that androgens are necessary for the normal morphology as well as for some metabolic aspects of the lung.

ABSTRACT

El abseso Hepático Amebiano (AHA) en neonatos es una patología no muy frecuentes. Existen pocos casos relatados en la literatura mundial. Se trata de un paciente de 20 días de nacido, femenino que presentó una masa abdominal palpable, deposiciones diarreicas amarillentas e icte'ricia. Una tomografía abdominal demostró una masa quistica localizada en el lóbulo hepático derecho. Los exámenes de laboratorio confirmaron la etiología amebiana. El tratamiento clínico instaurado fracasó y se procedió al tratamiento quirúrgico. Los resultados de patología confirmaron el diagnóstico de (AHA). Ocho días después de la resección quirúrgica el paciente falleció debido a una enterocolitis necrotizante.

ABSTRACT

Actions and interactions of spontaneous diabetes mellitus (DM) and natural estrous cycles (sex seasons) on the regulation of serum monesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and free glycerol (FG) levels in bitches in the fasting condition and during i.v. glucose (IVGTT) and insulin (ITT) tolerance tests, were studied. DM increased serum NEFAs concentration both in the basal condition and during IVGTT; it provoked a fall response to glucose load which is absent in normal controls. Estrous cycles did not modify these observations. Serum NEFAs levels during ITT were unresponsive in normal and diabetic bitches at every sex stage; flat, overlapped serum NEFAs profiles were then observed except for the diabetic group at A, which showed an early abrupt fall response of this variable from its high base line. DM increased also serum FG concentration in the fasting condition and during IVGTT. In the normal controls, serum FG base line was not affected by sex status; similary shaped, increasing, overlapped curves during the test were observed. In the diabetic bitches "in season" (either phase), serum FG basal value was hardly above in respect to anestrous, but during IVGTT their flat profiles coincided. DM increased serum FG concentration in the basal condition and during ITT, and modified the profiles of this variable. In normal dogs in the basal condition, serum FG concentration remained unaffected by sex status; this variable hard, transiently increased during ITT, which was not influenced by "sex seasons"; therefore, similarly shaped, overlapped serum FG profiles were then observed. In the normal and diabetic bitches, serum FG base line was not changed by "sex seasons". During ITT, serum FG mean profile in the diabetic bitches at EP was modestly above that observed in those at LP; differences for any other comparisions in normals or diabetic bitches were nonsignificant. As reported by us elsewhere, impaired glucose metabolism and absolute insulin dificiency induced ketose-prone, acidotic, insulin-dependent diabetic chryses in certain normal and diabetic beaches "in season" studied here. The unability of these animals for hydrolizingglyceride-glycerol via lipoproteinlipase (IVGTT) or via hormone sensitive fractions of lipase (ITT) and the abolished serum NEFAs suppressibility during modest hiperinsulinemia (ITT) appear to contribute to the production of such chryses...

ABSTRACT

El Paraquat y el Fósforo Amarillo son sustancias tóxicas que al ser ingeridas accidentalmente o con intenciones suicidas, producen una alta tasa de morbimortalidad usualmente asociada a una necrosis hepática. Se realizó un estudio para evaluar el efecto protector del interferón en ratas intoxicadas con estas dos sustancias. Las ratas fueron divididas en grupos que recibieron solamente el tóxico (Paraquat y Fósforo Amarillo) y otro grupo recibió el tóxico y el interferón. Los resultados mostraron una alta proporción de supervivencia en los grupos tratados con interferón, el mismo fue mayor del 20 por ciento. Además, los hallazgos histopatológicos encontrados demostraron un efecto protector hepático que fue mayor del 90 por ciento en las ratas que recibieron el interferón. Clínicamente, el Paraquat fue más tóxico que el Fósforo Amarillo. Este resultado experimental favorable obtenido con el uso del interferón necesitará mayor investigación en el futuro para evaluar su posible utilización en el tratamiento de este tipo de intoxicaciones.

ABSTRACT

We report a case of a patient that presented with a perforated hard palate as a late complication due to an unsuspected syphilis. This disease first presented as a rectal ulcer which was misdiagnosed as an amebic proctitis. The patient received antiamebic treatment with a satisfactory outcome. He did not return for late control of the latter treatment and returned seeking medical advise six years later with the former complication. He tested positive for syphilis and appropiate treatment was performed. In addition, the ORL department recommended a palate prosthesis.

ABSTRACT

Los cuerpos extraños intestinales usualmente pasan y son evacuados espontaneamente en las heces fecales sin causar daño. De lodas maneras, la perforación intestinal puede ocurrir en menos del 1 por ciento de los casos. La sospecha clínica es muy importante para obtener el diagnóstico ya que muchos cuadros clínicos pueden simular esta patología. Nosotros presentamos un caso de un hombre de 63 años quien deglutió un hueso de pollo que perforó el sigmoides y produjo un cuadro clínico simulando una diverticulitis colónica complicada. En cirugía, fue removido un hueso de pollo con bordes cortantes de 3 cm del sigmoides sin evidencia alguna de formación de absceso 48 horas después de su ingesta, pero se encontró una reacción inflamatoria aguda. Se realizó una colostomía tipo Hartmann (colostomía proximal y un cierre del muñón rectal) y 3 meses después se realizó la anastomosis. El paciente desarrolló un postoperatorio sin complicaciones y se mantiene asintomático en un período de 9 años. El colon sigmoides es un sitio inusual de perforación, si es que no presentare divertículos, el cual no es el caso de nuestro paciente. Comprobamos que la detección temprana y el tratamiento quirúrgico oportuno diminuye el riesgo de desarrollar complicaciones como es el caso de los abscesos, fístula intestinal y obstrucción; disminuyendo la morbilidad y mortalidad que las mismas producen.

ABSTRACT

Seventy patients symptoms and signs compatible with gastritis and/or peptic ulcer were included in the study; they were 41 women and 29 men, with an age range of 9-84 years, and they underwent upper endoscopy. Brushing of the antrum was performed and 4 biopsies were taken from it. With the gastric mucus, a smear was prepared for Gram staining; one sample of tissue was placed directly in urea medium and another tissue sample in Skirrow medium; and two samples of tissue were stained with Hematoxylin-eosin and examined under the light microscope. Those patients who were taking antibiotics capable of inhibiting growth of Helicobacter pylori (Hp), the last four weeks prior endoscopy, were excluded from the study. Twenty-six patients (37.1 percent) were positive (+) for Hp the culture in urea medium. Of these 26 patients, 15 (21.4 percent) were also positive by the Skirrow method, and 11 (15.7 percent) by Gram stain. Epigastric pain was the most predominant sympton in (+) patients (80.7 percent) and (-) patients (68.1 percent) for Hp. Superficial acute gastritis within the antrum was the most frequent endoscopic finding in (+) (84.6 percent) and (-) (68.1 percent) patients. Chronic superficial gastritis was the predominant microscopic finding in (+) (42.3 percent) and (-) (38.6 percent) patients as well. Microscopic examination was positive for Hp in 6 (23 percent) patients by H-E stain. According to these results, there was no statistically significant difference in symptoms, endoscopic and microscopic findings between positive and negative patients for Hp

ABSTRACT

The case of a 60-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus type II and primary hypothyroidism, who presented a clinical picture compatible with intestinal obstruction is reported. An abdominal sonogram revealed acute calculous cholescystitis and ileus. A plain film of the abdomen showed dilatation of small bowel loops. She underwent celiotomy, once stabilized, and gallstone ileus + cholecystoduodenal fistula were diagnosed intraoperatively. Resection of the ischemic segment of distal jejunum and the stone, cholecystectomy and primary repair of the fistula were performed. In spite of the systemic complications (metabolic, cardiovascular and pulmonary), that appeared postoperatively, the patient had a favorable outcome. This patient had an acute calculous cholecystitis anda spontaneous biliary-enteric fistula with intestinal obstruction, without preveious symptoms of biliary tract disease preceding the episode of bowel obstruction

ABSTRACT

En la última década se ha descripto el descenso de la testosterona circulante en tumores de páncreas, estómago y pulmón. Por ello nos propusimos estudiar el comportamiento de algunos esteroides séricos en pacientes con cáncer colorrectal, así como su utilidad para el diagnóstico y monitoreo post-quirúrgico de la enfermedad. A tal efecto medimos la concentración sérica de testosterona, estradiol y antígeno carcinoembrionario en varones con cáncer de colón o recto, comparándola con un grupo testigo portador de patología gastrointestinal benigna. El análisis estadístico mostró diferencias altamente significaticas entre testosterona de la población tumoral y el grupo control, las que se mantuyvieron al comparar el grupo testigo con los pacientes prequiúrgicos y con los post-quirúgicos. Se observaron valores patológicos de testosterona en el 59 por ciento de los pacientes con cáncer. Esto indicaría una mayor sensibilidad diagnóstica que la del antígeno carcinoembrionario, que se hallaba incrementado en el 56,9 por ciento de los casos. El uso conjunto de ambos marcadores permitió detectar el 86,2 por ciento de los enfermos. La concentración del estradiol sérico no evidenció diferencias significativas respecto a la del grupo control. Se concluye que el descenso de la testosterona sérica podría constituir un valioso complemento diagnóstico en el cáncer colorrectal y que la determinación simultánea con el antígeno carcinoembrionario incrementa la capacidad de detección de esta neoplasia en indivíduos de sexo masculino

ABSTRACT

Se relatan dos pacientes quienes presentaron un cuadro clínico compatible con colelitiasis; y, en quienes el diagnóstico de ascariasis de la vesícula biliar fue hecho sonográficamente. En el primer paciente, la colecistectomía fue curativa, y corroboró la presencia del parásito. En el segundo paciente, se administró citrato de piperazina. Un segundo sonograma realizado después del tratamiento, no reveló dentro de la vesícula biliar; y el paciente permanece asintomático hasta ahora. Se pone énfasis en la utilidad que la ultrasonografía brinda en el diagnóstico de la ascariasis de la vesícula, y durante la vigilancia en aquellos pacientes quienes son manejados con terapia médica solamente

ABSTRACT

Se presenta paciente de 63 años, sexo femenino que ingresó con un cuadro de colecistitis aguda y coledocolitiasis. Fue sometida a una colecistectomía con exploración de los conductos y duodenotomía con extracción de los cálculos ubicados en el colédoco. Durante el posoperatorio estuvo sometida a una gran tensión nerviosa y diez días después de su operación tuvo síntomas y signos de dilatación gástrica aguda, requiriendo una segunda internación. Un tránsito baritado y una endoscopía alta mostraron una dilatación gástrica, con marcado espasmo pilórico. Sus molestias mejoraron con tratamiento médico. Se concluye que la causa de su gastroparesis fue debida al stress emocional que presentó en el posoperatorio inmediato, lo que produjo marcado espasmo pilórico

ABSTRACT

This study was designed to determine if the quantity of lipids in the diet fed to pregnant rats would affect the deposition of fat in the fetal lung. Wistar rats were fed with two different diets during pregnancy: Standard Diet (StD; 4.000 cal/g) and High Fat Carbohydrate Free Diet (HFCFD; 6.000 cal/g). The rats consumed daily the same amount of calories from these different diets. The concentrations of triglycerides (TG), phospholipids (PL), total, esterified and free cholesterol (TC, EC and FC, respectively) were determined in serum and lung from pregnant rats as well as from their 19 day old fetuses. In the serum of rats fed with HFCFD, the cholesterol concentration increased in relation to that of rats fed with StD. In pregnant rat lung, the PL concentrations decreased and the TC, EC and FC concentrations increased with HFCFD in relation to StD. The triglycerides were not modified in any case. The lipidic composition of the sera and fetal lung were not changed by the two diets consumed by pregnant rats. This may be a biological protective mechanism to assure an adequate synthesis of alveolar surfactant
