ABSTRACT

Los problemas de salud mental afectan el desarrollo biopsicosocial de las personas. Dichos problemas empeoran debido a que se acude tardíamente a los servicios de salud, evidenciando la necesidad de detecciones tempranas en población abierta. Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la relación entre síntomas psicopatológicos y calidad de vida en mujeres y hombres. Participaron 465 personas, habitantes del Estado de México, quienes contestaron el SCL-90-R y el WHOQOL-BREF. En los resultados, las mujeres presentan mayores puntuaciones de síntomas psicopatológicos y menor calidad de vida con respecto a los hombres. Los problemas de salud mental afectan la calidad de vida por diferentes vías de influencia de acuerdo al sexo; en las mujeres destaca la depresión y la sintomatología global; y en los hombres, la somatización, la sintomatología global y la depresión. Se discute sobre la necesidad de prevención y detección precoz de los síntomas incipientes a través del trabajo comunitario.


Mental health problems, which affect biopsychosocial development of people, worsen because people take too long to come to health services. This situation shows the need for early detection of these problems in open populations. Considering this, the present research aimed to assess the relationship between psychopathological symptoms and quality of life in women and men. The study population consisted of 465 inhabitants of the State of Mexico, who answered the SCL-90-R and WHOQOLBREF questionnaires. Results: women have higher scores of psychopathological symptoms and lower quality of life than men. Mental health problems affect quality of life in different ways according to gender: in women, depression and global symptoms stand out; and in men, somatization, global symptoms and depression are the most common ones. This paper discusses the need for prevention and early detection of incipient symptoms of mental health problems through community work.

ABSTRACT

Abstract

We report the case of a 42-year-old female with a 5-year history of rheumatoid arthritis treated with Rituximab and Azathioprine. Three months after the initiation of Azathioprine, the patient started with dry cough and noted the rapid development of multiple subcutaneous nodules on her right leg. CT scan of the chest demonstrates pulmonary nodulosis. Skin biopsy was compatible with rheumatoid nodule. A diagnosis of "accelerated cutaneous and pulmonary nodulosis" was considered. Azathioprine was discontinued and Rituximab was restarted. Two months later, most of the subcutaneous nodules had disappeared. This is the second case report of accelerated rheumatoid nodulosis in association with Azathioprine treatment.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este artículo es medir el efecto de la mortalidad evitable en los cambios de la esperanza de vida en los estados colindantes de ambos lados de la frontera México-Estados Unidos entre 1999-2001 y 2009-2011. Los datos utilizados fueron los registros de mortalidad y los censos de población, provenientes de fuentes oficiales de cada país. Se estimaron tasas estandarizadas de mortalidad y se calcularon los años de esperanza de vida perdidos. Tanto en 1999-2001 como en 2009-2011 los estados pertenecientes a la frontera sur de Estados Unidos tuvieron tasas de mortalidad evitable más bajas que las observadas en los estados del norte de México. En la región fronteriza las muertes evitables representaron en promedio una ganancia de 0.19 años de vida para Estados Unidos y una pérdida de 0.47 años de vida para México. Los estados de la frontera México-Estados Unidos presentan rasgos comunes en sus perfiles de salud que hacen necesario abordar algunos problemas de forma global y otros considerando las particularidades de cada uno de ellos, con el fin de reducir las brechas y aumentar la equidad social, mediante estrategias que involucren acciones nacionales independientes y otras de coordinación transfronteriza.


The scope of this article is to measure the effect of avoidable mortality in changes in life expectancy in the states adjacent to both sides of the US-Mexico border between 1999-2001 and 2009-2011. The data used were the records of mortality and population censuses from official sources in each country. Standardized mortality rates were estimated and the expected years of life lost were calculated. Both in 1999-2001 and in 2009-2011 the states belonging to the southern border of the United States had lower rates of avoidable mortality rates than those observed in the northern states of Mexico. In the border region avoidable deaths have seen an averageincrease of 0.19 years of life for America and a loss of 0.47 years of life for Mexico. The states of the US-Mexico border have common features in their health profiles that make it necessary to address some problemson a global basis and consider the particularities of each, in order to reduce gaps and enhance social equity through strategies involving independent national actions and othersby cross-border coordination.
