ABSTRACT

Objetivos: 1) Evaluar el cumplimiento del Programa Nacional de Detección Temprana y Atención de la Hipoacusia. 2) Correlacionar los resultados con la presencia o ausencia de cobertura social. 3) Evaluar la información brindada a los padres en contenido y la demora en efectuar la prueba. Métodos: estudio observacional y transversal. Se incluyeron todos los pacientes entre 1/03/12 y 31/03/13 que consultaron espontáneamente en el Hospital Garrahan y requirieron hospitalización en la sala de internación conjunta del Área de Neonatología. Se analizaron los datos obtenidos por interrogatorio, historia clínica y encuesta realizada a los padres. Se empleó estadística descriptiva y Chi2 según necesidad. Resultados: Ingresaron 153 pacientes. Mediana de edad: 21 días (16-30). Cobertura social 25% (38/153). 30% (46/153) tenían efectuada OEA. 30 tenían turno emitido, 44 habían recibido la orden médica y 33 de los 107 no evaluados no tenían ningún tipo de vinculación con la prueba. En el 34% (13/38) de los casos con obra social vs el 17% (20/115) de los casos sin cobertura se observó incumplimiento total (p 0,02).Con respecto a la información de los padres 35 /153 pacientes (23%) habían sido informados sobre la importancia de esta prueba. Discusión: Son escasos los pacientes evaluados previo al egreso de la maternidad o dentro del primer mes de vida. Poseer cobertura social no facilita el cumplimiento de la ley. Los padres carecen de información sobre la importancia de la misma (AU)


Aims: 1) To evaluate compliance with the National Program for Early Detection and Care of Hearing Loss. 2) To correlate results with presence or absence of health insurance coverage. 3) To evaluate the quality of information provided to the parents and the delay in taking the test. Methods: An observational and cross-sectional study. All patients who consulted spontaneously at Hospital Garrahan between 1/03/12 and 31/03/13 and who required admission to the neonatology ward were included. Data obtained from the clinical chart and from an interview and questionnaire administered to the parents were analyzed. Depending on the data descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used. Results: 153 patients were admitted. Mean age was 21 days (16-30). Health care coverage: 25% (38/153). Acoustic otoemissions (AOE) were performed in 30% (46/153). Overall, 30 had been called for an appointment, 44 had received the medical indication, and 33 of 107 infants who were not evaluated had not been in touch with the test. In 34% (13/38) of the cases with health insurance coverage vs 17% (20/115) without total incompliance was observed (p 0.02). Regarding information for parents, 35/153 (23%) had been informed on the importance of the test. Conclusion: Few patients are screened on discharge from the maternity clinic or within the first month of life. Health insurance coverage does not facilitate compliance with the law. Parents do not receive information on the importance of the test (AU)

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to find out what percent of a group of patients 12 to 17 years old and with a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus type I have depressive symptomatology. We also wanted to know if there were gender differences in regard to depressive symtomatology in this group. We used a revised and adapted spanish translation of the Beck Depression Inventory, the IDB-R. It was administered to a group of 49 patients ages 12 to 17 with Diabetes Mellitus type I. The mean score of the group at the IDR-R was 9.33, which according to the instrument represents absence of depressive symptomatology. We found that 36.7of this group obtained a score greater than 10 in the IDB-R which according to this instrument, it means that depressive symptomatology was present. The symptoms most reported by the females were difficulties taking decisions and sleep problems. The symptom most reported by the males was change in appetite.

ABSTRACT

Neotropical Primate karyotypes are highly variable, particularly in the heterochromatic regions, not only regarding the amount of heterochromatin, but also the composition. G and C banding and FISH techniques provide useful information to characterize interspecific relationships. We used chromosome microdissection to develop a FISH probe of the chromosome 11 heterochromatic block (11qHe+) of Cebus apella paraguayanus (CAPp). Fragments of the 11qHe+ microdissected from fibroblast cell culture were collected in a PCR tube, amplified by degenerate oligonucleotide primer-PCR and subsequently labeled. The specificity of the FISH probe was confirmed in metaphases of some Ceboidea species. Signals were located in the He+ of chromosomes 4, 11, 12, 13, and 19 of CAPp and in the He+ of chromosomes 4, 12 and 13 of C. a. nigritus (CAPn); no signals were observed when other Ceboidea species were analyzed. We propose that the heterochromatin observed in CAPp and CAPn is specific for these species. We consider this C. apella heterochromatin identity as a possible key for the interpretation of chromosomal evolution in these Ceboidea.

ABSTRACT

Los fantasmas de glóbulos rojos (FGR) humanos obtenidos de sujetos sanos muestran actividad de la Na+/K+-ATpasa de 1,68 ñ 0,08 nmoles Pi/mg proteína x min (n=65; edad: 30 a 60 años). No hubo diferencias entre sexos, tampoco entre muestras obtenidas en ayuno o postprandiales. Comprobamos que la sangre debe mantenerse en frío (0ºC) si no es procesada de inmediato. Obtenidos los FGR a 0ºC, la actividad enzimática no varía entre el momento de la toma y las 4 h; pero si varía significativamente a las 24 y 48 h. Los FGR conservados a -40ºC, mantienen la actividad por 48 h. En dos voluntarios sanos tratados con digoxina por una semana observamos una disminución en la actividad enzimática el primer día (17 por ciento y 22 por ciento de control, respectivamente). Los niveles de digoxina en suero no mostraron paralelismo con la actividad enzimática y fueron siempre menores de 0,7 ng/ml. Conclusión: Se dan las pautas metodológicas para obtener muestras útiles en clínica

ABSTRACT

Se estudiaron los efectos cronotrópico e inotrópico de la Amilorida (AMI) y la dicloro-benzamil-Amilorida (DCB-AMI) sobre las aurículas aislada del acure, así como la interacción de estas drogas con la beta-metil-digoxina (BM_DIGO), la epinefrina y la disminución del potasio extracelular (de 4 a 1 mM). La AMI (1 mM) causa un efecto inotrópico positivo y cronotrópico negativo, independientes del sistema autonómico. La DCB-AMI causa um efecto bimodal sobre la fuerza de contracción: la aumenta a bajas dosis pero la disminuye a concentraciones mayores de 10(-6) M. También disminuye levemente la frecuencia sinusal. El efecto de la AMI sobre el automatismo sinusal no es alterado por la BM-DIGO. En cambio, la AMI ((10(-3 M) disminuye el efecto inotrópico positivo de la BM-DIGO e incrementa la dosis tóxica en preparaciones aisladas. La curva dosis-respuesta a la epinefrina no varía en presencia de AMI. Resultados similares se obtuvieron con DCB-AMI (2 x 10(-7 M). El incremento de contractilidad que se observa al disminuir la concentración extracelular de potasio a 1 mM no se altera en presencia de AMI. La actividad de la Na+/K+ ATPasa dependiente de Mg++ de la fracción microsomal obtenida del corazón del acure disminuye en 10 por ciento aproximadamente en presencia de AMI (1nM). Por otra parte, el efecto inhibitorio sobre la enzima obtenido con ouabaína no varía con esta droga. En conclusión, nuestros resultados sugieren múltiples efectos de la AMI y DCB-AMI sobre el corazón del acure. La inhibición del intercambiador Na+/Ca++ explica solo parte de ellos; el bloqueo de los canales lentos parece fundamental para explicar nuestras observaciones.

ABSTRACT

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in Puerto Rico. Enough evidence exists to believe that coronary heart disease begins during the pediatric age. There has been and increased interest in recent years about the rationale for detection and treatment of hypercholesterolemia in children. Blood samples of 506 patients ages 3 to 17 were analyzed for plasma cholesterol level using the method RA-1000 Technicon. Measurement of cholesterol, blood pressure and Quetelex index were obtained during the sampling. Family history, and past history were also determined to compare the relationship between positive family history for coronary heart disease and cholesterol value. Based on these samples we concluded that 30 of the sampled population had high cholesterol values for age
