ABSTRACT

Endothelium is the inner layer of vessels that separates circulating blood from the rest of the body tissues. Since its discovery, it has been involved in various functions, both systemic and organ specific. Currently, endothelial damage and failure in its functions is considered a key element in pathophysiology of various clinical scenarios, among which we may find COVID-19.Hence, it has been a target in development of strategies that seek to maintain, enhance or repair its function. The purpose of the following review is to describe what an endothelial function is about, its relation with current medical practice, and its implications in the SARS- CoV-2 pandemic. (AU)

ABSTRACT

The management of patients presenting with an ischemic vascular accident has evolved in recent years. Several studies opened the possibility for endovascular treatment of these patients, improving their functional results. The evidence-based anesthetic management has changed thanks to new relevant literature. In this article we want to briefly describe the changes in the state of the art according to the new clinical evidence.


El manejo de los pacientes que presentan un accidente vascular isquémico ha evolucionado en los últimos años. Varios estudios abrieron la posibilidad para el tratamiento endovascular de estos pacientes, mejorando sus resultados funcionales. El manejo anestésico basado en evidencia a cambiado gracias a nueva literatura relevante. En este artículo queremos describir brevemente los cambios en el estado del arte según la nueva evidencia clínica.

ABSTRACT

Spinal drainage catheter installation is a procedure indicated essentially in the repair of aortic aneurysms and the neurosurgery setting. It is not always a simple procedure where dilemmas arise about the indication, technique, and complications. The following article reviews each of these topics.


La instalación de un catéter de drenaje espinal es un procedimiento indicado principalmente en la reparación de aneurismas aórticos y en el escenario de neurocirugía. No siempre es un procedimiento fácil de realizar donde surgen dudas sobre indicación, técnica y eventuales complicaciones. En el siguiente artículo revisamos cada uno de estos temas.

ABSTRACT

Vitamin D is a liposoluble hormone that exists in two molecular forms. Ergocalciferol (vitamin D-2) and colecalciferol (vitamin D-3). Vitamin D-3 is produced in the skin by the action of UV-B radiation. Both forms are metabolized by the liver to 25-hydroxy-Vit D (25OHD) and later in the kidney to the active form 1,25-dihydroxy-Vit D. This form promotes bone mineralization by intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate. Normal levels of 25OHD are associated with less fracture, normal neuromuscular and immune function and possibly have a preventive effect on certain types of cancer. The Endocrine Society's Clinical Practice Guidelines recommends that optimal plasma levels of 25OHD are above 30 ng/ml, insufficiency between 21 and 29 ng/ml and deficiency below 20 ng/ml. The prevalence rate of 25OHD deficit is about 2 to 90% in different populations. Risk factors of Vitamin D deficit like year season, skin pigmentation, sunlight exposition, use of sunblock and inadecuate Vitamin D ingestion, together with different measurement techniques explain the variability of results between epidemiological studies. An important risk group is the health professionals that are not exposed to sunlight. There are no studies that describe the prevalence in this population in Chile. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La evaluación del perímetro cefálico (PC) constituye una valiosa herramienta que alerta sobre alteraciones del desarrollo del lactante. Objetivo: Conocer la situación de medición del PC en los controles de salud. Método: Revisión retrospectiva de todos los registros de PC en los controles de niños de 18 a 24 meses de edad, de julio de 2002 a la fecha, atendidos en dos centros de salud de Colina, consignando el PC, el diagnóstico y las indicaciones y reclasificándolo (NCHS) para diagnóstico comparativo. Resultados: Se revisaron 424 controles de salud contenidos en 58 fichas, de los cuales 85,3% tenían registro del PC. De ellos el 17.7% tenía consignado el diagnóstico. Al clasificar nuevamente los diagnósticos encontrados según las curvas del NCHS, se encontró que 14% de los registros correspondía a un PC fuera del rango normal y no tenía diagnóstico registrado, el único caso en que se registró diagnóstico de alteración del PC no se registró la conducta tomada. Un 92.2% de los diagnósticos fueron catalogados concordante con el equipo investigador. Conclusiones: La medición del PC se realiza en la mayoría de los controles, pero no conduce a un diagnóstico y manejo terapeutico. Falta reforzar la importancia y utilidad de esta herramienta antropométrica para una adecuada pesquisa diagnóstica y una derivación oportuna a especialista.
