ABSTRACT

Abstract Although Staphylococcus aureus increases its relative abundance in psoriasis when compared with the microbiome of healthy subjects, it is not the most important microorganism underlying this disease. However, there is scant data on the role and molecular features of S. aureus strains in psoriasis; therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate nasal carriage of this microorganism, its phenotypic and molecular characteristics as well as the impact of host factors on its carriage in psoriatic patients. The presence of S. aureus was analyzed in nasal swabs from 46 healthy volunteers and 50 psoriatic patients by conventional microbiology techniques. Nasal carriage of S. aureus was higher in psoriatic patients than in the control group (37.24% vs 22.98%, respectively), being associated to sex (male), age (adults) and severity of the disease (more frequent in moderate and severe cases). Determination of antibiotic resistance detected 12% of (-lactam resistant isolates, with variable accompanying resistance to macrolides, aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones. No resistance to rifampicin, vancomycin, mupirocin or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole was found. A preliminary molecular characterization of the isolates was performed by PCR amplification of virulence genes. Molecular characterization of the strains did not reveal a predominant strain in psoriatic patients. Although we established host factors related to increased carriage of S. aureus in psoriatic patients, we could not establish the predominance of one type of strain. Genomic and transcriptomic analysis of the isolated strains would be necessary to address this point.


Resumen A pesar de que Staphylococcus aureus incrementa su abundancia relativa en la psoriasis cuando se compara con el microbioma de personas sanas, no es el microorganismo más importante subyacente a la enfermedad. Sin embargo, existen pocos datos sobre el papel y las características moleculares de las cepas de S. aureus en pacientes con psoriasis. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar la portación nasal de este microorganismo, sus características fenotípicas y moleculares, y el impacto de factores del hospedador sobre dicha portación en estos pacientes. Se analizó la presencia de S. aureus en hisopados nasales de 46 voluntarios sanos y 50 pacientes con psoriasis mediante técnicas microbiológicas convencionales. Se encontró mayor portación en pacientes con psoriasis que en el grupo control (37,24% vs. 22,98%, respectivamente) y esta estuvo asociada al sexo (masculino), la edad (adultos) y la gravedad de la enfermedad (más frecuente en casos moderados a graves). El 12% de los aislamientos de S. aureus mostraron resistencia a betalactámicos, con resistencia acompañante a macrólidos, aminoglucósidos y fluoroquinolonas en grado variable. No se encontró resistencia a rifampicina, vancomicina, mupirocina o trimetroprima/sulfametoxazol. Se realizó una caracterización molecular preliminar de los aislamientos por amplificación de genes de virulencia mediante PCR. Si bien se identificaron factores relacionados con el hospedador que incrementan la portación nasal de S. aureus en pacientes con psoriasis, la caracterización molecular de las cepas no reveló ninguna característica genotípica predominante asociada a esta afección. Se necesitan más estudios genómicos y transcriptómicos para profundizar en esta caracterización.

ABSTRACT

resumen está disponible en el texto completo


Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) comprises a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic cell neoplasms of myeloid lineage that arise from the clonal expansion of their precursors in the bone marrow, interfering with cell differentiation, leading to a syndrome of bone marrow failure. AML is a consequence of genetic and epigenetic changes (point mutations, gene rearrangements, deletions, amplifications, and arrangements in epigenetic changes that influence gene expression) in hematopoietic precursor cells, which create a clone of abnormal cells that are capable of proliferating but cannot differentiate into mature hematopoietic cells or undergo programmed cell death. The diagnosis requires more than 20% myeloid blasts in the bone marrow and certain cytogenic abnormalities. Treatment will depend on age, comorbidities, and cytogenetic risk among the most frequent.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo del presente trabajo es describir las técnicas para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de 3 casos clínicos de odontoma en pacientes ortodóncicos. En el caso 1, se trató a un paciente masculino de 17 años, que acudió para interconsulta con el servicio de ortodoncia, ya que no había erupcionado el canino superior izquierdo y el primer premolar superior izquierdo. El estudio anatomopatológico reveló odontoma complejo con áreas pindborgoides y acumulación de células fantasma. En al caso 2 se trató a un paciente femenino de 15 años. El estudio anatomopatológico reveló odontoma complejo. En el caso 3, se trató a un paciente masculino de 28 años que acudió a rehabilitación integral de su boca, y fue derivado a la cátedra de ortodoncia. En la radiografía panorámica se observó una imagen compatible con odontoma. Se remitió una muestra a anatomía patológica que confirmó el diagnóstico de odontoma. Conclusión: el conocimiento adecuado de las características clínicas, radiológicas y patológicas es necesario para un correcto diagnóstico y tratamiento. Es importante el trabajo interdisciplinario ortodoncista - cirujano para tratar estos casos (AU)


The objective of this work is to describe the techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of 3 clinical cases of odontoma in orthodontic patients. In case 1, a 17-year-old male patient was treated who came for consultation with the orthodontic service, since the upper left canine and the upper left first premolar had not erupted. Pathological study revealed complex odontoma with pindborgoid areas and accumulation of ghost cells. In case 2, a 15-year-old female patient was treated. The anatomopathological study revealed a complex odontoma. In case 3, a 28-year-old male patient was treated who attended comprehensive rehabilitation of his mouth and was referred to the orthodontic department. In the panoramic radiography, an image compatible with odontoma was observed. A sample was sent to pathological anatomy, which confirmed the diagnosis of odontoma. Conclusion: Adequate knowledge of the clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics is necessary for a correct diagnosis and treatment. Interdisciplinary orthodontist-surgeon work is important to treat these cases (AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Coronaviruses (CoV) are enveloped, plus-strand RNA viruses that have the largest known RNA genomes and infect birds and mammals, causing various diseases. Human coronaviruses (HCoVs) were first identified in the mid-1960s and have been known to cause enteric or respiratory infections. In the last two decades, three HCoVs have emerged, including the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which initiated the ongoing pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 causes a respiratory illness that presents as a mild upper respiratory disease but may result in acute respiratory distress syndrome, multi-organ failure and can be fatal, especially when underlying comorbidities are present. Children account for a low percentage of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases, with seemingly less severe disease. Most pediatric patients present mild or moderate symptoms or are asymptomatic. However, some cases may be severe. Therefore, SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 in pediatric patients must be studied in detail. This review describes general features of the molecular biology of CoVs and virus-host interactions that may be implicated in the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2.


Resumen Los coronavirus son virus envueltos de ARN de polaridad positiva, con los genomas más grandes que se conocen. Infectan aves y mamíferos, y causan una amplia variedad de enfermedades. Los coronavirus humanos se identificaron a mediados de la década de 1960 y se sabe que causan infecciones entéricas y respiratorias. En las últimas dos décadas han emergido tres coronavirus humanos pandémicos, incluido el coronavirus 2 del síndrome agudo respiratorio grave (SARS-CoV-2) que ha causado la pandemia actual. El SARS-CoV-2 produce enfermedad respiratoria que se presenta con padecimientos moderados de las vías respiratorias altas, pero puede resultar en síndrome respiratorio agudo, falla multiorgánica y muerte, en especial en casos con morbilidad subyacente. Los casos de COVID-19 en niños representan un porcentaje bajo y con síntomas menos graves de la enfermedad. La mayoría de los pacientes pediátricos son asintomáticos o presentan enfermedad leve o moderada; sin embargo, también en niños la enfermedad puede ser grave, por lo que la infección con SARS-CoV-2 y la COVID-19 en pacientes pediátricos deben estudiarse con detalle. En esta revisión se describen las características generales de la biología molecular de los coronavirus y de las interacciones virus-hospedero que se conocen para los coronavirus humanos identificados previamente, y que podrían estar implicados en la patogénesis del SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT

resumen está disponible en el texto completo


Abstract Hemophilia is a hemorrhagic disorder with a sex-linked inherited pattern, characterized by an inability to amplify coagulation due to a deficiency in coagulation factor VIII (hemophilia A or classic) or factor IX (hemophilia B). Sequencing of the genes involved in hemophilia has provided a description and record of the main mutations, as well as a correlation with the various degrees of severity. Hemorrhagic manifestations are related to levels of circulating factor, mainly affecting the musculoskeletal system and specifically the large joints (knees, ankles and elbows). This document is a review and consensus of the main genetic aspects of hemophilia, from the inheritance pattern to the concept of women carriers, physiopathology and classification of the disorder, the basic and confirmation studies when hemophilia is suspected, the various treatment regimens based on infusion of the deficient coagulation factor as well as innovative factor-free therapies and recommendations for the management of complications associated with treatment (development of inhibitors and/or transfusion transmitted infections) or secondary to articular hemorrhagic events (hemophilic arthropathy). Finally, relevant reviews of clinical and treatment aspects of hemorrhagic pathology charachterized by acquired deficiency of FVIII secondary to neutralized antibodies named acquired hemophilia.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron estudiar la sensibilidad antibiótica de aislamientos de Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis procedentes de pequeños rumiantes e investigar la presencia de integrones que contienen genes de resistencia. Se estudiaron 15 aislamientos de diferentes fuentes por los métodos de difusión y dilución. Por el método de difusión, amoxicilina-clavulánico, ampicilina, cefotaxima, cefoxitina, ciprofloxacina, cloranfenicol, eritromicina, estreptomicina, gentamicina, imipenem, kanamicina, norfloxacina, penicilina, rifampicina, tetraciclina, trimetroprima-sulfametoxazol y vancomicina fueron activos frente al 100% de los aislamientos, mientras que amicacina presentó resultados variables. En los aislamientos que desarrollaron frente a amicacina se investigó la presencia de integrones de clase 1. El resultado fue negativo, sugiriendo la ausencia del integrón. Utilizando el método de dilución, los antibióticos más activos correspondieron a los grupos de cefalosporinas, gluco-péptidos, macrólidos, quinolonas y tetraciclinas. Se demostró menor actividad de p-lactámicos y aminoglucósidos. No se registró variabilidad en los perfiles antibióticos en los aislamientos procedentes de diferentes fuentes.


Abstract The aims of this work were to study the antibiotic susceptibility in Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis isolated from small ruminants and to determine the presence of integrons that contain resistance genes. Fifteen isolates of different sources were analysed using the diffusion and the dilution methods. When the diffusion method was performed, amoxicillin-clavulanic, ampicillin, cefotaxime, cefoxitin, ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, streptomycin, gentamicin, imipenem, kanamycin, norfloxacin, penicillin, rifampicin, tetracycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and vancomycin were effective against the 100% of isolates, while amikacin showed variable results. The isolates that were able to grow with amikacin, were studied in relation to the presence of integron class 1. The result was negative, suggesting the absence of integron. Using dilution method, the antibiotics belonging to the cephalosporin, glycopeptide, macrolide, quinolone, and tetracycline groups were the most active ones for the C. pseudotuberculosis biovar ovis isolates. Less activity of p-lactam and aminoglycosides were observed. There was no observation of variability in the antibiotic patterns in the strains coming from different sources.

ABSTRACT

La pregunta que convoca este escrito surge a partir de la gran incidencia de casos que se presentan, en nuestra práctica clínica, de pacientes que no se encuentran dentro de lo esperable con respecto a la entrada en el período de latencia, según lo conceptualizado por Freud (1905), en su escrito Tres ensayos de teoría sexual. Se trata de niños de entre 6 y 12 años aproximadamente, que sostienen modos de satisfacción desfasados en cuanto al momento del desarrollo que se encuentran atravesando. Observamos que los mismos presentan características del orden del autoerotismo. En consideración de lo dicho, nos preguntamos acerca de las implicancias que puede tener el juego, en nuestro tiempo, como posibilitador de la construcción de recursos subjetivos para la entrada en el período de latencia sexual infantil.


The question convened in this paper arises from the high incidence of cases that occur, in our clinical practice, of patients who are not within the expected regarding the entry into the latency period, as conceptualized by Freud (1905). These are children between 6 and 12 years old,who maintain outdated modes of satisfaction in terms of the moment of development they are going through. We observe that they present characteristics of the order of autoerotism.In consideration of what has been said, we ask ourselves about the implications that playing may have, in our time, as an enabler of the construction of subjective resources for the entry into the period of infantile sexual latency.

ABSTRACT

La pregunta que convoca este escrito surge a partir de la gran incidencia de casos que se presentan, en la práctica institucional, de pacientes que no se encuentran dentro de lo esperable con respecto a la adquisición del lenguaje y a todo lo que implica el armado del aparataje simbólico. Esto es: la posibilidad de la constitución de un yo-cuerpo libidinal como una unidad diferenciada del otro (Freud, 1923, p.27), y el ordenamiento pulsional consecuente en el sentido de un armado del mundo habitable para el sujeto, todo lo cual implica la construcción de la subjetividad. Se trata de casos en donde no se construyó la posibilidad de una cierta autonomía en el niño: el certificado de discapacidad denota esto. En este estado de cosas se requiere de una dependencia permanente del otro, muchas veces el Estado, a través de las instituciones estatales o privadas. Todo esto nos lleva a pensar, a modo de hipótesis, en la incidencia de las variables de la época actual en lo que ubicamos como una precarización en la construcción de la subjetividad en los casos descriptos.


The question that summons this paper arises from the great incidence of cases that are presented, in the institutional practice, of patients that are not within the expectable regarding the acquisition of the language and all that implies the building of the symbolic apparatus. This is: the possibility of the constitution of a libidinal self-body as a differentiated unit from the other (Freud, 1923, p.27), and the consequent instinental ordering in the sense the disposition of an habitable world for the subject, all of which involves the construction of subjectivity. These are cases where the possibility of a certain autonomy in the child was not built: the certificate of disability denotes this. In this state of things, the patient requires a permanent dependence on the other, often the State, through state or private institutions. All this leads us to think, as a hypothesis, in the incidence of the variables of the present time on what we place as a precarization in the construction of subjectivity in the cases described.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: To analyze the effects of injections of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) and intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) on the incidence rates of anterior segment neovascularization (ASN) and neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in patients with macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Methods: In this prospective, randomized, double-masked, sham-controlled study, 35 patients with macular edema following CRVO were randomized to intravitreal bevacizumab, intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide, or sham injections during the first 6 months of the study. The primary outcome was the incidence rate of ASN at month 6. The secondary outcomes were the mean changes from baseline in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central foveal thickness (CFT) on optical coherence tomography over time to month 12. Results: ASN developed in 8 (22.86%) eyes, including 5 (62.50%) eyes in the sham group and 3 (37.50%) eyes in the IVTA group, during 12 months of fol low-up (p=0.009). BCVA differed significantly (p<0.05) among the groups only at month 1. CFT did not differ significantly (p<0.05) among the groups over 12 months. NVG required surgery and developed in one eye despite laser treatment. Conclusion: Early treatment with intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy decreases the rates of ASN and NVG after CRVO.


RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar as taxas de incidência de neovascularização do segmento anterior (NSA) e de glaucoma neovascular (GNV), em pacientes com edema macular secundário a oclusão de veia central da retina (OVCR), em tratamento com injeções intravítreas de triamcinolona (IVTA) ou bevacizumab (IVB). Métodos: Neste estudo prospectivo, randomizado, duplo mascarado e sham controlado, 35 pacientes com edema macular secundário a OVCR foram randomizados para IVB, IVTA ou para o grupo controle (sham), durante os 6 primeiros meses do estudo. O desfecho primário foi a taxa de incidência de NSA no mês 6. Os desfechos secundários foram alterações médias da acuidade visual corrigida (BCVA) e espessura foveal central (EFC) ao exame de tomografia de coerência óptica, até o mês 12. Resultados: NSA ocorreu em oito (22,86%) olhos, cinco (62,50%) olhos no grupo sham e três (37,50%) olhos no grupo tratado com injeções intravítreas de Triamcinolona, Não houve nenhum caso com NSA no grupo tratado com bevacizumab durante 12 meses de acompanhamento (p=0,009). A BCVA apresentou diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,05) entre os grupos, somente no mês 1. A EFC não apresentou diferenças estatisticamente significantes (p<0,05) entre os grupos ao longo dos 12 meses. GNV ocorreu em um olho apesar do tratamento com laser e este paciente necessitou de intervenção cirúrgica. Conclusão: O tratamento precoce com injeções intravítreas de Anti VEGF podem diminuir as taxas de neovascularização do segmento anterior e glaucoma neovascular após oclusão de veia central da retina.

ABSTRACT

La eritrodisestesia, o síndrome mano pie, es una reacción adversa relacionada con algunos agentes quimioterápicos. Se caracteriza por comenzar con un pródromo de disestesia palmo-plantar y, entre 2 a 4 días, la sensación progresa a un dolor quemante con edema y eritema en placas bien delimitadas y simétricas. Los quimioterápicos que se asocian con más frecuencia son la doxorrubicina, 5-fluorouracilo, capecitabina, citarabina y docetaxel. Es más frecuente y severo en mujeres, pacientes de edad avanzada o con compromiso vascular periférico. Se presentan dos pacientes de sexo femenino. La primera con cáncer de ovario en tratamiento con doxorrubicina liposomal que presentó eritrodisestesia luego del quinto ciclo de quimioterapia. La segunda paciente con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama que recibió tratamiento con capecitabina presentando síntomas luego del segundo ciclo de quimioterapia. El interés de la presentación es la consulta a dermatología por un síndrome que constituye un efecto adverso que potencialmente limita el uso de determinados antineoplásicos. Sin embargo, educando al paciente, con intervenciones farmacológicas y ajuste de dosis, es posible aliviar los síntomas continuando una terapéutica efectiva (AU)


Erythrodysesthesia, or hand foot syndrome, is a side effect related to some chemotherapeutic agents. It is characterized by a prodrome of palmoplantar dysesthesia followed by burning pain with edema and erythema on well-defined and symmetrical plaques, 2-4 days later. Doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine, cytarabine and docetaxel are the most frequently associated chemotherapy drugs. Women, elderly or peripheral vascular compromise patients are more frequent and severe affected. Two female patients are reported. The first patient with ovarian cancer in treatement with liposomal doxorrubicin developed erythrodysesthesia after the fifth cycle of chemotherapy. Meanwhile the second patient diagnosed with breast cancer in treatment with capecitabine developed it after the second cycle of chemotherapy. The interest of this report is the dermatological consultation about a side effect syndrome which potentially limits the prescription of certain antineoplastic drugs. However, patients can continue specific treatment by indicating dose adjustment and prescribing medicine to relieve the symptoms (AU)

ABSTRACT

The study is a pioneering effort to determine the mineral, nutritional, and phytochemical composition and phenolic content and to determine the free radical scavenging activity of Gigantochloa levis (Blanco) Merr, a native bamboo species (locally known as "bolo") in the Philippines. Proximate analysis showed that air-dried G. levis leaves contain 15.8% ash, 22.6% crude protein, 1.2% crude fat, 29.3% crude fiber, and 19.7% total sugar. Phytochemical tests indicated the presence of diterpenes, triterpenes, saponins, phenols, tannins, and flavonoids in both the ethanolic and aqueous leaf extracts, while phytosterols were only detected in the ethanolic extract. Folin-Ciocalteu assay determined the total phenolic content in gallic acid equivalents (GAE) to be 85.86 ± 3.71 and 32.32 ± 1.01 mg GAE/100 g dried sample for the ethanolic and aqueous extracts, respectively. The total phenolic content in quercetin equivalents (QE) was 74.44 ± 3.11 and 29.43 ± 0.85 mg QE/100g dried sample for the ethanolic and aqueous extracts, respectively. The radical scavenging activity of the different solvent fractions containing varying concentrations of the extract was determined using the 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The ethyl acetate and 1-butanol fractions were found to have the highest radical scavenging activity. Mineral analysis via Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDS) of the ash of G. levis leaves showed that Si is the major component, followed by K and Mg.

ABSTRACT

La alopecia areata (AA) es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica, de etiología multifactorial, que afecta el folículo piloso y, algunas veces, las uñas. Se caracteriza por áreas alopécicas no cicatrízales, asintomáticas, que pueden comprometer cuero cabelludo, cejas, pestañas, barba y pelos del resto del cuerpo. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar las enfermedades asociadas en pacientes con diagnóstico clínico de AA del Servicio de Dermatología del Hospital Centenario de Rosario, Argentina, durante el período comprendido entre el 01/01/1995 al 01/01/2013. La evolución de la AA es impredecible y en este estudio se observó que los procesos autoinmunes y los estados atópicos, fueron las patologías más frecuentemente asociadas.


Alopecia areata (AA) is a chronic inflammatory disease because multiple etiological factors affecting hair follicle and sometimes the nails. It is characterized by non-scarring alopecic areas, which can compromise scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard and hair from any part of the body. The aim of this study is to evaluate associated diseases in patients with AA clinical diagnosis from the Dermatology Department at the Hospital Centenario, Rosario Argentina, during the period between January 1st, 1995 and January 1st, 2013. Evolution of AA is unpredictable, and this study suggests that autoimmune processes and atopic states are the most frequently associated pathologies.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los tumores óseos benignos son los más frecuentes en la edad pediátrica, entre ellos, el osteocondroma es el principal. Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia y la localización anatómica más habitual del osteocondroma en un grupo de pacientes menores de 19 años. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio de cinco años con un diseño descriptivo y longitudinal, en el cual se revisaron los informes médicos contenidos en el libro de biopsias del Departamento de anatomía patológica del Hospital Pediátrico Universitario ®Eduardo Agramonte Piña¼ de Camagüey, Cuba, correspondientes a todos aquellos casos con diagnóstico histopatológico de osteocondroma, en el período de enero 1 de 2008 a diciembre 31 de 2013. Resultados: El grupo de edad en el cual se observó mayor frecuencia de osteocondroma fue en el de 10 a 14 años. La localización más frecuente fue la metafisaria, siendo la metáfisis distal del fémur la más encontrada, seguida de la proximal del húmero y la tibia. Los hallazgos anatomopatológicos reportados en los informes médicos estudiados son comparables con los ofrecidos por la literatura consultada en cuanto a los tumores óseos benignos se refiere...


Introduction: The benign bone tumors are most frequent in pediatric age; osteochondroma is the major of them. Objective: To determine the osteochondroma frequency and the most common anatomic location on patients aged less than 19 years. Materials and methods: It was made a five years study with a descriptiveand longitudinal design. To select the cases with histopathological diagnosis of osteochondroma between January 1 of 2008 and December 31 of 2013, were reviewed the clinical records included in the biopsies book of the Department of anatomy pathology of Hospital Pediatrico Universitario ®Eduardo Agramonte Piña¼ of Camaguey, Cuba. Results: Children between 10 and 14 years are the most frequent group with osteochondroma. The most common location of osteochondroma was metaphyseal, principally in the metaphysis of the distal femur and proximal humerus and tibia. All pathological findings about benignbone tumors in the medical records were comparable to literature consulted...

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar los factores de riesgo asociados a la apendicitis aguda perforada en el Hospital de Especialidades Pediátricas "Omar Torrijos Herrera" (HEPOTH) Materiales y métodos: Estudio de casos (apendicitis perforada) y controles (apendicitis flegmonosas) pareados 1:2 de febrero 2003 a enero 2009 en el HEPOTH. Se analizaron 7 variables con la t de Student y 4 cualitativas con el x2 corregido de McNemar. Resultados: Se obtuvieron 107 casos y 178 controles. El sexo, la edad promedio de intervención y el peso promedio no fueron significativamente distintos. La mayoría de los sujetos procedía de la provincia de Panamá. El tiempo de intervención fue la variable con mayor fuerza de asociación ( 66.5 vs 34.2 horas ; p<.001; IC 95% 21.0-46.0) aunque también resultaron estadisticamente significativos el percentil del peso para la edad ( p=.048), los leucocitos preoperatorios (p=.027), los neutrófilos preoperatorios (p=.010), la historia de vómitos (p<.0001), de diarrea (p<.0001) para a perforación apendicular. La temperatura preparatoria promedio fue significativamente distinta en ambos grupos (p<.001) pero clínicamente no relevante (37.8 vs 37.2ºC). El uso de antibióticos preoperatorios resultó ser un factor protector (p<0.0001); OR 0.31; IC 95% 0.20-0.47). Conclusiones: El tiempo de intervención desde el primer síntoma es el principal factor de riesgo para la perforación apendicular. Algunos otros criterios clínicos y paraclínicos también deben tomarse en consideración para el diagnóstico y el tratamiento oportuno. El uso preoperatorio de antimicrobianos profilácticos y analgésicos puede mejorar los resultados y la condición del paciente pediátrico con apendicitis aguda.


Aim: To determine the risk factors associated with perforated acute appendicitis at the Hospital de Especialidades Pediátricas "Omar Torrijos Herrera" (HEPOTH) Materials and methods: Matched 1:2 cases control study ( perforated vs flegmonous) from February 2003 to January 2009 at the HEPOTH. Seven quantitative variables were analyzed with Student t and 4 qualitatives variables were analyzed McNemar ´s corrected x2. Results: One hundred and seven cases and 178 controls were obtained.Gender, mean intervention age, and mean weight were not significantly different . Most of the subjects came from the province of Panama. Time until intervention was the variable with the most association strength ( 66.5 vs 34.2 hours ; p<.001; IC 95% 21.0-46.0) even though weight for age percentile ( p=.048), preoperatory leucocytes (p=.027), preoperatory neutrophils (p=.010), and the history of vomits (p<.0001), and diarrhea(p<.0001) also resulted statistically significant for appendices perforation. Mean preparatory temperature was significantly different (p<.001) but not clinically relevant (37.8 vs 37.2ºC) between both groups. The use of preparatory antibiotics turned out to be a protection factor (p<0.0001); OR 0.31; IC 95% 0.20-0.47). Conclusions: Time until intervention since the first symptoms is the main risk factor for appendiceal perforation. Some other clinical and paraclinical criteria must also be taken into account for a timely diagnosis and treatment. Preoperatory use of prophylactic antimicrobial and analgesics can improve the results and the condition of the pediatric patient with acute appendicitis.

ABSTRACT

La forma típica o post-diarreica del síndrome urémico hemolítico (SUH) es la complicación más grave de las infecciones por cepas de Escherichia coli productoras de toxina Shiga (STEC). En la Argentina el SUH es un problema crítico de salud pública, ya que representa la principal causa de falla renal aguda en la infancia, la segunda causa de falla renal crónica, y aporta el 20% de los casos de transplante renal durante la infancia y la adolescencia. A pesar de los avances en el conocimiento de su patogénesis, el único tratamiento actual de los pacientes con SUH es de sostén, y no existen terapias específicas ni preventivas. En la presente revisión expondremos los conocimientos básicos de los mecanismos patogénicos y discutiremos los enfoques terapéuticos tradicionales e innovadores, con especial foco en la situación nacional y los aportes hechos por grupos de la Argentina.


The typical form of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is the major complication of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections. HUS is a critical health problem in Argentina since it is the main cause of acute renal failure in children and the second cause of chronic renal failure, giving account for 20% of renal transplants in children and adolescents in our country. In spite of the extensive research in the field, the mainstay of treatment for patients with HUS is supportive therapy, and there are no specific therapies preventing or ameliorating the disease course. In this review, we present the current knowledge about pathogenic mechanisms and discuss traditional and innovative therapeutic approaches, with special focus in national status and contributions made by Argentinean groups.

ABSTRACT

The objectives of this study were to conduct a prevalence survey of trichomoniasis in pregnant women and to evaluate the utility of different methods for its diagnosis. A total of 597 vaginal exudates from pregnant women who were examined at the Hospital de Clinicas in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 1 August 2005 to 31 January 2007, were prospectively and consecutively evaluated. The investigation of Trichomonas vaginalis was made by different microscopic examinations, and culture on liquid medium. The sensitivity and specificity of the microscopic examinations were assessed considering culture on liquid medium as the "gold standard". The prevalence of T. vaginalis obtained by culture on liquid medium was 4.0% (24/597). The prevalence of T. vaginalis obtained by direct wet smear, prolonged May-Grunwald Giemsa staining, and sodium acetate-formalin (SAF)/methylene blue staining-fixing technique was 1.8%, 2.3% and 2.5%, respectively. The sensitivity of the direct wet smear was 45.8%, that of the prolonged May-Grunwald Giemsa staining was 58.3%, and that of the SAF/methylene blue method was 62.5%. Considering the 3 microscopic examinations altogether, the sensitivity rose to 66.7% and the specificity was 100% for all of them. This is the first time that the prevalence data of T. vaginalis by culture in pregnant women are published in Argentina. Due to the low sensitivity obtained by microscopy in asymptomatic pregnant women, the use of the liquid medium is recommended during pregnancy, in order to provide an early diagnosis and treatment.

ABSTRACT

Usando el mapeo espectral endocárdio en ritmo sinusal nosotros podemos definir dos tipos de miocardio auricular: el fibrilar con espectro segmentado hacia la derecha - llamado Nido-FA (NFA) - y el compacto con espectro no segmentado hacia la izquierda. Al inducir FA nosotros hemos observado constantemente activación muy desorganizada sobre los Nidos-FA [tejido resonante reactivo] mientras el compacto mantiene una activación bien regular [ tejido pasivo]. Ambos son activados por una taquicardia protegida de alta frecuencia "Taquicardia de Background" (TB). Describir el tratamiento de la FA a través de la ablación - RF de los Nidos-FA y la TB. 92 p (76 H, 52,4 ± 11 a) con FA refractaria muy frecuente, 56 paroxístina, 25 persistente, 11 permanente sin cardiopatía significativa (AI 41, 9 ± 5mm). 1- Ablación- RF con catéter de los NFA [4/8 mm-60°/30-40J/30s] guiado por mapeo espectral en ritmo sinusal fuera de las venas pulmonares (VP); 2- Estimulación auricular (300 ppm); 3- Adicional ablación de los NFA cuando era inducida FA; 4- Ablación de TB focal o Flutter cuando eran inducidos; 4 - Seguimiento Clínico SC (EKG/Holter). Una media de 50 ± 18 nidos-FA / p fueron tratados. Después de SC 0 11,3 ± 8 meses 81p (88%) no tenía FA (28,3 % previamente utilizaban drogas AA no eficaces). Después de ablación los NFA: fue imposible reinducir FA en 61p (71 %); en 31p (29%) solo FA no sostenida (< 10s) fue inducida; TB fue inducida y tratada en 24p (26%). Dos derrames pericárdicos ocurrieron (tratada en 24p (26%). Dos derrames pericárdicos ocurrieron (tratada en 24p (26%). Dos derrames pericárdicos ocurrieron (tratados 1 clínicamente y 1 quirúrgicamente) descrito utilizando una específica y no más usada vaina. El mapeo espectral de los Nidos - FA fue fácil de hallar y ablacionar; Durante la FA los Nidos _ FA juegan un papel resonante reactivo mientras el compacto juega un papel pasivo, uno o ambos son activados por la TB de elevada frecuencia; Después de la ablación de los...


Using endocardial spectral mapping in sinus rhythm we found two kinds of atrial myocardium: fibrillar with a rightward - segmented spectrum - named AF - Nest (AFN) - and compact with a leftward non - segmented spectrum. Inducing AF we have consistently observed very highly disorganized activation only in the AF - Nest [reactive resonant tissue] while the compact myocardium maintains well - organized, predominantly regular activation [passive tissue]. Both are activated by a high frequency protected tachycardia "Background Tachycardia" (BT). To describe treatment of AF by AF - Nests and BT catheter RF - ablation. 92 (76 males, 52.4 ± 11 y) with very frequent refractory AF, paroxysmal in 56, persistent in 25, and permanent in 11 without any significant cardiopathy (LA 41. 9 ± 5mm). 1 - AFN Catheter RF ablation [4/8mm - 60°/30-40J/30s] guided by spectral mapping in sinus rhythm outside the pulmonary veins (PV); 2 - Atrial stimulation (300ppm); 3 - AFN additional ablation if AF induced; 4 - BT focal or flutter ablation if induced; 4 - Clinical FU (EKG/Holter). A mean of 50 ± 18 AF nests/person were treated. After 11. 3 ± 8 months of follow up, 81 (88%) patients had no AF (28. 3 % previously on no effective AA drugs). After AFN ablations, it Was not possible to reinduce AF in 61 (71%) cases. In 31 patients (29 %) only non - sustained AF (< 10s) was induced; BT was induced and treated in 24 patientns (26%). Two pericardial effusions occurred (1 clinically and 1 surgically treated) related to an isolated cause and the other to a sheath no longer in use. Using spectral mapping, AF - Nests were easily found and ablated. During AF - Nests play a reactive resonant role while the compact myocardium plays a passive one, both activated by the high frequency BT. After AF - nest and BT ablations it was not possible to reinduce sustained AF; AF - nest and BT ablation around the PV is safe, feasible and very efficient for the cure or control of AF.
