ABSTRACT

Beriberi (BB), thiamine deficiency, has been described in the Asian literature in the 17th century and is characterized by peripheral neuropathy and muscle weakness, also called "dry" beriberi (BB) to differentiate it from "wet" BB, with essentially cardiovascular manifestations. Wet can be either "classic" wet BB in which signs and symptoms of right-sided heart failure with normal or high cardiac output are the presenting features or the "shoshin" BB variant with severe biventricular failure and metabolic acidosis, which must be treated early to prevent the rapid development of low cardiac output failure and sudden death. In this case, we report a 58 year old alcoholic woman who developed dyspnea, oliguria, edema, cardiac failure with high output, metabolic acidosis, renal tubular dysfunction and serum lactate level of 5.6 mEq/L. Neurological examination revealed peripheral neuropathy in the lower legs and cognitive alteration. She was treated with a loading dose of 100 mg of intravenous thyamine and responded with a marked increase in urine output, correction of acidosis, reduction in pulmonary-capillary wedge pressure and a change of the hemodynamic pattern. We conclude that shoshin-BB is uncommonly encountered but not widely recognized. In lactic acidosis and/or hyperdynamic circulation without any other apparent etiology in patients with possible vitamin B1 deficiency, the diagnosis of BB must be considered and thiamine should be administered

ABSTRACT

Os autores analisaram 78 pacientes portadoras de irregularidade de sangramento uterino através do estudo clínico, da aspiraçäo do endométrio e das peças cirúrgicas. Foram estudados: número de gestaçöes, número de abortos, número de partos, incidência de laqueadura tubária, história patológica pregressa, uso prévio e atual de hormônios, estudo da peça cirúrgica (que confirmou o mioma em 69,23% dos casos) e a idade média da menarca, que foi calculada em 12 anos e 10 meses

ABSTRACT

Säo analisadas 78 pacientes portadoras de irregularidade de sangramento uterino, através do estudo clínico e da aspiraçäo do endométrio. Trinta e nove pacientes apresentavam hemorragia uterino disfuncional. Foi estudado o número de gestaçöes, de filhos, de abortos, a incidência de laqueadura tubária e analisada a existência de patologia prévia, uso anterior e atual de hormônios, e a idade média da menarca. Conclui-se que a idade média da menarca näo é um parâmetro válido para prediçäo de hemorragia uterino disfuncional
