ABSTRACT

The objective of this work was to collect information on the curative use of plants in the municipality of Teziutlán, Puebla through semi-structured interviews. Thus, 78 plants used for medicinal purposes were identified, of which 40 are native to Mexico and 38 introduced; The value of use (UV) of each one and the Informant's Consensus Factor (FCI) of 10 categories of diseases were calculated. The five most frequently used plants are Ruta chalepensis L., Rosmarinus officinalis, Arnica montana, Loeselia mexicana (Lam.) Brandegee and Sambucus cerulea var., Neomexicana, which underwent a chemical and pharmacological review. On the other hand, the most frequent preparations are infusion and decoction, using mainly leaves (49.34%) and flowers (19.51%). It is concluded that the inhabitants of Teziutlán have a fairly homogeneous ethnomedical knowledge, setting the standard for research on its pharmacological properties.

Así, se identificaron 78 plantas utilizadas con fines medicinales, de las cuales 40 son propias de México y 38 introducidas; se calculó el valor de uso (UV) de cada una y el Factor de Consenso del Informante (FCI) de 10 categorías de padecimientos. Las cinco plantas utilizadas con mayor frecuencia son Ruta chalepensis L., Rosmarinus officinalis, Arnica montana, Loeselia mexicana (Lam.) Brandegee y Sambucus cerulea var., neomexicana, a las que se les hizo una revisión química y farmacológica. Por otro lado, las preparaciones más frecuentes son infusión y decocción, utilizando principalmente hojas (49.34 %) y flores (19.51 %). Se concluye que los habitantes de Teziutlán cuentan con un conocimiento etnomédico bastante homogéneo, dando la pauta para investigaciones sobre sus propiedades farmacológicas.

ABSTRACT

Paradoxical vocal cord motion or vocal cord dysfunction is a descriptive term for an inappropriate adduction of the vocal cords during respiration, which can cause respiratory obstruction and stridor. It is associated with psychiatric conditions in the great majority of cases. We report a 23 year-old high performance female athlete, referred for a recurrent bilateral paralysis of the vocal cords, with a history of four intensive care unit admissions for severe dyspnea and stridor, which were treated several times with intubation and with tracheostomy on two occasions. Myasthenia gravis was suspected and she was treated with pyridostigmine and prednisone. She was discharged but despite the treatment, she presented new episodes of stridor and was readmitted six months later. This time the pharmacological treatment was suspended. The neurological study disclosed a normal brain magnetic resonance, normal cerebrospinal fluid analysis and a normal electromyography. A conversion disorder was suspected and the patient was successfully treated with psychotherapy.

ABSTRACT

La vasculitis nodular es poco frecuente en la edad pediátrica. Se presenta el caso de una niña de 11años, procedente del área urbana del cantón Pasaje, con dermatosis persistente localizada en región posterior de pierna derecha; ha recibido múltiples tratamientos sin diagnostico especifico y sin presentar mejoría. La radiografía de tórax fue normal y la prueba de tuberculina negativa. La paciente no presentaba otros síntomas; se obtuvo muestra para biopsia, encontrando lóbulos adiposos con necrosis extensa rodeada por granulomas; el análisis de PAS no evidencia la presencia de hongos y el de Ziehl no encuentra Bacilos ácido alcohol resistentes. Este caso resalta la importancia de sospechar eritema indurado de Bazín y la de investigar exhaustivamente la existencia de tuberculosis activa.


Nodular vasculitis is infrequent in children. We present the case of an 11-year-old girl from the urban area of the canton Pasaje, who presented resistant dermatosis on the posterior right leg, receiving multiple treatments without a specific diagnosis with no health improvement. The chest X-ray was normal and tuberculin test negative. The patient did not have other symptoms; a sample was obtained for a biopsy, finding adipose lobules with extensive necrosis surrounded by granulomas. PAS analyzes: there was no evidence of fungi and Ziehl; acid alcohol resistant bacilli were not found. This case highlights the importance of suspecting erythema Induratum Bazin and an extensive research about the existence of active tuberculosis is suggested.

ABSTRACT

Choroiditis serpiginosa is an infrequent disorder, which is chronic, progressive, bilateral, and recurrent; in primary form it affects the pigmented epithelium of the retina and the choriocapillary layer within the eye. It typically begins juxtapapillary and progresses to extend centrifugally to the optic disc, usually affecting the macula and thus decreasing visual acuity. It's etiology is unknown and it debutes in acute form in adult patients, without preference for sex. It's treatment includes the use of systemic corticosteroids, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and immunosuppressant agents. In this paper we document the clinical case of a diabetic, 61 year old man, having the disease in an inactive phase with serious visual sequelae.


Coroiditis serpiginosa es un desorden poco frecuente, crónico, progresivo, bilateral y recurrente que efecta en forma primaria al epitelio pigmentario de la retina y la coriocapilar. Típicamente comienza yuxtapapilar y su progresión se extiende en forma centrífuga al disco óptico, afectando usualmente la mácula, disminuyendo así la agudeza visual. Su etiología es desconocida y debuta en forma aguda en pacientes de edad madura sin predilección por sexo. El tratamiento incluye el uso de corticoesteroides sistémicos, antiinflamatorios no esteroidales (AINES) y agentes inmunosupresores. Presentamos el caso clínico de un hombre diabético de 61 años con enfermedad en fase inactiva con secuelas visuales serias.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta una experiencia de aplicaciòn de la Tabla de Clsificaciòn Ultrasònica de Tumores Ovàricos desarollada por el departamento de Ginecologia y Obstetricia de la Universidad de Tokio Japòn. Se trata de 50 casos de tumores ovàricos diagnosticados o confirmados por ecografia con propòsitos operatorios en la Clinica del Centro Mèdico de Diagnòstico de la ciudad de Potosi, Bolivia. Delos 50 tumores, 22 fueron sometidos a estudios histològicos. Con los patrones ecoicos de la clasificaciòn el indice de negatividad es de 44.0 porciento de 28.0 porciento el de sospecha de malignidad y de 40.0 porciento el de malignidad. Se concluye que la clasificaciòn es ilustrativa y simple, aunque es recomendable la confrontaciòn permanente con la histopatologia y la acumulaciòn de casos para ganar experiencia en el uso de la tabla
