ABSTRACT

Abstract The objective of this study was to infer the opportunity cost of land use of the Feijão River watershed (São Carlos-SP, Brazil), in order to estimate the financial resources necessary to compensate landowners willing to convert their production areas into areas of environmental preservation. Net values were estimated by calculating the Annual Value and the Net Present Value of each activity. The area used for agricultural production was estimated using the Land Cover Map of the watershed. The study involved four production areas: forestry, livestock, sugarcane and orange, accounting for 66% of the watershed area of 22,300 hectares. Considering a scenario of total consent from landowners, the 2011 net annual values were estimated at R$ 13.4 million: R$ 2.2 million (eucalyptus), R$ 1.9 million (livestock), R$ 1.1 million (sugarcane) and R$ 8.2 million (orange). This amount would be used as payment for ecosystem services.


Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi inferir o custo de oportunidade do uso do solo da bacia hidrográfica do manancial do Ribeirão do Feijão, São Carlos – SP, a fim de estimar o valor necessário para ressarcir os proprietários de terras dispostos a converter suas áreas produtivas para áreas de proteção ambiental. Os valores líquidos foram estimados pelo cálculo do Valor Anual e o Valor Presente Líquido de cada tipo de atividade. A área ocupada foi estimada utilizando o mapa de cobertura de solo. Foram analisadas quatro áreas produtivas, das quais: reflorestamento, pecuária, cana-de-açúcar e laranja, que juntas representam 66% da área total da bacia, que totaliza 223 km2. Os valores líquidos anuais, referentes ao ano de 2011 e considerando um cenário de total adesão dos proprietários, foram estimados em R$ 13,4 milhões: R$ 2,2 milhões (eucalipto), R$ 1,9 milhão (pecuária), R$ 1,1 milhão (cana-de-açúcar) e R$ 8,2 milhões (laranja). Este montante seria o valor necessário estimado para fins de ressarcimento pela prestação dos serviços ambientais da bacia.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La prevalencia exacta de la enfermedad de Pompe en lapoblación general es desconocida, y la frecuencia estimada varía entrelas diferentes formas clínicas y grupos étnicos. Existe un gran númerode pacientes con elevación de enzimas musculares que no tienen undiagnóstico definitivo. Un porcentaje de ese grupo de pacientes podríatener enfermedad de Pompe. Objetivos: 1) Determinar la prevalencia de la enfermedad de Pompeentre pacientes mayores de un año de edad, con elevación persistente de creatin-kinasa (CK) de causa desconocida. 2) Describir las manifestaciones clínicas y demográficas de los pacientes con CPK elevada. Materiales y métodos: Se incluyeron a todos los pacientes con aumentode CK en sangre, definida como la detección de al menos un valor >500 UI/L y otro mayor de 200 UI/L, durante un período mínimode 1 año, entre los años 2010-2013, tomados de la base de datos dellaboratorio del Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires. Se excluyeron a lospacientes bajo tratamiento actual con agentes hipolipemiantes; pacientestratados con agentes hipolipemiantes, en quienes la CK no senormalizó luego de suspender el tratamiento; pacientes tratados conagentes hipolipemiantes que interrumpieron el tratamiento durante untiempo menor de 9 meses antes del período de inclusión y pacientescon enfermedad muscular inflamatoria (pacientes con criterios diagnósticos probables o definidos de Bohan & Peter). Los pacientes condiagnóstico probable de miositis por cuerpo de inclusión (biopsia notípica) podían ser incluidos. Se les realizó evaluación clínica (mediciónde la fuerza muscular), cuestionario sobre síntomas musculares y se lesextrajo sangre para test enzimático en papel de filtro para enfermedadde Pompe.


Introduction: The exact prevalence of Pompe disease in the generalpopulation is unknown, and the estimated frequency varies among differentethnic groups and clinical forms. A large number of patients withelevated muscle enzymes do not have a definitive diagnosis. A significant percentage of these patients may have a Pompe disease. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of Pompe disease among patients with persistently elevated CK (over one year) of unknown cause.To describe the demographic and clinical manifestations of the patients with elevated CK. Patients and methods: We included all patients with increased bloodCK, defined as a value >500 IU/L and another greater than 200 IU/L forat least 1 year between 2010 and 2013. Patients were selected fromthe database of the laboratory of the Italian Hospital of Buenos Aires. Weexcluded patients under current treatment with lipid-lowering agents; patients who have been treated with lipid-lowering agents, in whom CPK has not normalized after discontinuation of therapy; patients whohave been treated with lipid-lowering agents and discontinued for atime less than 9 months before the inclusion period and patients with inflammatory muscle disease: patients with probable or definite criteriadiagnoses (Bohan & Peter criteria). Patients with a diagnosis of probableinclusion body myositis (not typical biopsy) were included. Patients underwent clinical evaluation (measurement of muscle strength), muscle symptoms questionnaire and had blood taken for enzyme test on filter paper for Pompe disease.

ABSTRACT

Hydrocephalus is a common problem in Neurosurgery and Neurology. The usual treatment is the installation of a Ventricular Peritoneal Shunt (VPS). Infection is the most frequent and serious complication. With the aim to identify risk factors associated with infection in the post surgery of VPS in pediatric patients from Carlos Van Buren Hospital a case control study between 1998-2008 was done. Cases were patients with VPS infection reported to the Department of Nosocomial Infections. Results in contingency tables were analyzed to determine Odds Ratio. 264 surgical procedures were studied in 207 patients with 53 infections reported in 26 patients. Significant risk factors were: history of prior ventriculitis, VPS dysfunction and prior external ventricular shunt, concurrent infections at the time of surgery and a neurosurgeon without the specialty of pediatric neurosurgery. We concluded that antibiotic prophylaxis was not an important factor in preventing infection and the neurosurgeon experience is relevant to the development of VPS infections.


La hidrocefalia es un problema común en neurocirugía y neurología. Su tratamiento habitual es la instalación de una válvula derivativa ventrículo peritoneal (DVP) cuya complicación más grave y frecuente es la infección. Con el propósito de identificar los factores de riesgo de infección post-operatoria en pacientes con DVP del Hospital Carlos Van Buren (HCVB), se realizó un estudio caso-control en la población pediátrica con DVP instalada entre 1998 y 2008. Los casos fueron pacientes con una infección de DVP notificada en el Departamento de Infecciones Intrahospitalarias (IIH), y controles los que no presentaron infección. Se analizaron los resultados en tablas de contingencia para determinar los Odds Ratio correspondientes. Se estudiaron 264 procedimientos quirúrgicos, 207 pacientes y 53 infecciones notificadas en 26 enfermos. Los factores de riesgo significativos fueron el antecedente de ventriculitis previa, disfunción de DVP previa, derivativa ventricular externa previas, infecciones concomitantes al momento de la cirugía, y que el neurocirujano no tuviera la especialidad en neurocirugía pediátrica. Se concluyó que la profilaxis antimicrobiana no fue un factor importante en la prevención de infecciones y que la experiencia del neurocirujano es relevante en el desarrollo de infecciones de DVP.

ABSTRACT

This article briefly reviews the epidemiology of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and associated diseases globally and in Chile, and the scientific ínformatíon of the licensed HPV vaccines: Gardasil® and Cervarix®. Considering the available information, the Advisory Committee on Immunizations of the Chilean Society of Infectious Diseases recommends vaccination of teenage girls, ideally before initiating sexual actívíty, Le. approximately at the age of 12 to 13 years and vaccination of women of any age if they have not started sexual activity. If women are vaccinated after initiating sexual activity, they should be informed of the lower efficacy of immunization if HPV infection has occurred. Education on responsible sexuality and sexually transmitted diseases should be maintained as a priority. Vaccination should be highly considered for inclusion in the National Immunization Program.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Describir la frecuencia y tipo de enfermedad neumocóccica invasora (ENI) y neumonía consolidante (NC) en lactantes chilenos. Pacientes y Métodos: Vigilancia prospectiva durante un año en tres centros. Vigilancia de ENI: hemocultivo en lactantes con sospecha clínica de enfermedad bacteriana invasora (EBI) o fiebre > 39 °C axilar, sin foco o con otitis media aguda. Vigilancia de NC: hemocultivo y evaluación independiente de la radiografía en lactantes con sospecha clínica de neumonía. Resultados: ENI: en 4.369 lactantes enrolados se detectaron 58 casos de EBI, 37 (64 por ciento) por Streptococcus pneumoniae. Tasas de ENI: 110/100.000 (Chillan) y 288/100.000 (Valparaíso). Serotipos de S. pneumoniae identificados: 18C (n: 8), 14 (n: 8), 19A (n: 5), otros (n: 12). NC: en 3.005 niños enrolados se detectaron 762 NC. Tasas de NC: 2.918/ 100.000 (Chillan) y 5.547/100.000 (Valparaíso). Discusión: Se confirma la relevancia de S. pneumoniae como agente de EBI así como la elevada frecuencia de NC en lactantes en Chile.


Objective: To describe frequency and type of invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD) and consolidated pneumonia (CP) in Chilean infants. Patients and Methods: One-year prospective surveillance in three health care centers. PID surveillance: blood culture in infants with suspected invasive bacterial disease or with fever higher than 39°C axillary without focus or with acute otitis media. CP surveillance: blood culture and independent evaluation of chest X-ray in infants with suspected pneumonia. Results: IPD: in 4,369 infants studied, 58 cases of invasive bacterial diseases were identified, 37 (64 percent) due to S. pneumoniae. Rates of IPD: 110/100,000 (Chilian) and 288/100,000 (Valparaiso). Serotypes identified: 18C(n: 8), 14 (n: 8), 19A(n: 5), others (n: 12). CP: in 3,005 infants 762 CP were detected. Rates of CP: 2,918/100,000 (Chilian) and 5,547/100,000 (Valparaiso). Discussion: Results support the relevance of S. pneumoniae as the main cause of invasive bacterial disease and the high frequency of CP in this age group in Chile.

ABSTRACT

El timerosal es un derivado del mercurio utilizado desde 1930 como preservante de vacunas. En las últimas décadas ha sido cuestionada su seguridad, especialmente por la posibilidad de toxicidad neurológica. La revisión de varios estudios realizados en niños que recibieron vacunas que contienen timerosal y la posición de organismos de expertos internacionales en relación al uso de este compuesto en vacunas, permite al Comité Consultivo de Inmunizaciones concluir que no existe evidencia de eventos adversos en lactantes o niños por exposición al timerosal contenido en vacunas rutinarias y, por lo tanto, no habría razón para modificar las actuales prácticas de inmunización en Chile.


Thimerosal is a mercury derivative included in vaccines since 1930 with the aim to prevent microbial contamination. During the last decades, the use of thimerosal has been questioned, specifically because of a potential association with neurotoxicity. After a thorough review of published studies on pediatric use of thimerosal-containing vaccines, and of position papers from international expert groups, the Consultive Committee of Immunizations of the Chilean Society of Infectious Diseases concludes that there is no solid evidence of adverse events associated with the use of thimerosal containing vaccines in infants and children. Therefore, a change in current vaccine practices refererred to thimerosal-containing vaccines is not justified in Chile.

ABSTRACT

Background: Rotavirus infections account every year in Chile, for approximately 53,000 emergency consultations and 8,000hospital admissions among children under three years of age. Aim: To estimate incidence rates of severe rotavirus gastroenteritis in children <3 years of age, living in the V and VIII Regions and to identify the predominant viral serotypes. Material and methods: A prospective hospital-based surveillance for severe gastroenteritis was implemented in public and private hospitals of Viña del Mar and Valparaiso (Region V) and of Chiguayante, Concepción, Penco, San Pedro de la Paz, Talcahuano and Tomé (Region VIII). All children <3 years of age residing in the districts, who consulted for severe gastroenteritis requiring oral or intravenous rehydration (equivalent to WHO plan B or C), or who were admitted to the hospital, were enrolled. Demographic and clinical information and a stool sample were obtained. Rotavirus was detected by ELISA and positive samples were serotyped by ELISA or real time PCR. Results: Between January 23 and June 30, 2003, a total of 760 children were recruited. Among these, 343 (45 percent) were admitted to the hospital. Stool samples were collected from 433 children. Among these, 214 were positive for rotavirus (49.4 percent). Overall, monthly disease incidence rates were 124/100,000 in V Region, and 114/100,000 in VIIIRegion. The predominant serotype was G4. Conclusions: Rotavirus was responsible for nearly half of the severe gastroenteritis episodes among children <3 years, during a predominantly G4 serotype season. Every year, approximately one every 70 children <3 years will have a severe rotavirus gastroenteritis episode.

ABSTRACT

Los enterovirus causan cerca de 90 por ciento de las meningitis asépticas (MA). La ausencia de un buen método de diagnótico etiológico determina con frecuencia tratamientos innecesarios. En este estudio se comparó la detección de enterovirus en líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) usando cultivos celulares e inmunofluorescencia indirecta (CC/IFI), con la reacción de polimerasa en cadena (RT-PCR). Se estudiaron 22 muestras de LCR provenientes de niños con MA (casos) y 17 de niños con otras patologías (controles). Todos fueron atendidos en servicios pediátricos del Hospital Carlos Van Buren de Valparaiso. Hubo 100 por ciento de concordancia entre ambos métodos en los 22 niños con MA, encontrándose 21 casos positivos para enterovirus. Entre los 17 controles, 2 muestras resultaron por RT-PCR y una de ellas lo fue también por CC-IFI. La RT-PCR resultó un método sencible y específico. Considerando la rapidez con que se puede tener los resultados es esperable que su uso rutinario sea beneficioso para los pacientes con MA

ABSTRACT

Presentamos los resultados del uso de injerto óseo compactado con cemento en la revisión de prótesis de cadera, realizado en 53 pacientes con un seguimiento promedio de 46 meses (rango 8 a 64 meses). Los injertos óseos utilizados fueron seleccionados rigurosamente del Banco de Huesos de nuestro Hospital. La técnica quirúrgica utilizada ha sido la descrita por Sloof y Ling en centros separados, manteniéndose fieles a sus principios de aplicación. La evaluación clínica del dolor, funcionalidad y movimiento, mostró una mejoría clara y significativa con valores promedios en el preoperatorio de 3 - 2,6 - 2,8 a 5,5 - 5 - 5,1 (Significación Estadística P: 0,05) en el postoperatorio. En cuanto a la evaluación radiológica los hallazgos fueron satisfactorios, con incorporación y remodelación trabecular en un 92 por ciento de los casos. No se observó demarcación progresiva ni aflojamiento al momento de evaluar la muestra

ABSTRACT

The authors report the clinical history of a 15 years old young man with severe congenital pulmonary valvular stenosis who was treated, for the first time in Panama, with percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (PBPV). The patient presented with an episode of syncope at rest. The EKG showed right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) and suggested the presence, with the echocardiogram, of pulmonary systolic pressures higher than the systolic systemic pressures. The diameter of the interior pulmonary ring was estimated to 20 mm. The chest X-ray suggested the presence of RVH. Multiple premature ventricular systoles were detected by the Holter monitoring. Cardiac catheterization showed pressures of 150/12 mm Hg in the right ventricle (RV) and 24/9 mm Hg in the pulmonary artery (PA) with a transvalvular gradient of 126 mm Hg. PBPV was successfully done on 19 june 1993. The pressures in the RV were then 38/5 mm Hg and in the PA 25/7 mm Hg with a residual gradient of 13 mm Hg. Twenty minutes after completion of the procedure the patient experienced a hypertensive crisis and pulmonary edema, a complication of PBPV not previously reported in the literature

ABSTRACT

Se revisa retrospectivamente un material de 60 casos de tuberculosis urogenital atendidos en el Servicio de Urología del Hospital San Juan de Dios entre los años 1974-1986. En ésta casuística se analizan: a- La distribución por sexo y grupos de edad, b.-la sintomatología motivo de consulta y c.-los procedimientos de diagnóstico empleados y su rendimiento. No hubo diferencia en la distribución por sexo pero en cuanto a edad la mayor frecuencia se detectó entre los 31 y 40 años. Los principales motivos de consulta fueron los síntomas de infección urinaria baja (57%); la hematuria (47%) y en el hombre, la epidimitis (20%). El diagnóstico se sospechó clínicamente y se confirmó mediante el hallazgo del bacilo de Koch en el examen directo de orina (52%) o en el cultivo (86%). La piuria aséptica se encontró en el 38% de los casos y la pielografía de eliminación reveló alteraciones en el 90%, siendo las más frecuentes la exclusión renal (48%) y la hidroureteronefrosis (35%)
