ABSTRACT

Introducción: La ecografía es una herramienta fundamental al momento de enfrentarse a un paciente grave en el servicio de urgencia. El protocolo "Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma" (FAST), es la utilización del ultrasonido en contexto de trauma, el cual está extensamente validado para medicina de urgencia de adultos. Sin embargo, en pediatría existen escasas publicaciones que resuman la evidencia relacionada. Objetivo: Dar a conocer la evidencia actualizada del uso de ecografía bajo el protocolo FAST en el trauma abdominal contuso pediátrico en el servicio de urgencia. De forma secundaria describir los pasos para realizar el examen e interpretación de sus hallazgos. Metodología: Revisión bibliográfica en las principales bases de datos, en idioma inglés o español, desde el año 2000 hasta la actualidad. Se seleccionaron estudios de rendimiento diagnóstico y revisiones narrativas relacionadas con el tratamiento y pronóstico del trauma general y abdominal en pediatría. Resultados: Se encontraron 998 artículos, de los cuales 22 fueron seleccionados y considerados para la revisión. La ecografía permite la identificación de líquido libre, que se relaciona con lesión intraabdominal en el contexto de trauma pediátrico. El protocolo FAST en el contexto de trauma contuso abdominal tiene una alta especificidad y una baja sensibilidad para su diagnóstico. El uso de ecografía en pediatría evita la exposición a los efectos dañinos de las radiaciones ionizantes. Conclusión: El uso de ecografía por parte de la medicina de urgencia se ha transformado en una herramienta esencial y segura al momento de evaluar pacientes. La presencia de un hallazgo positivo nos permite realizar diagnóstico de lesiones intraabdominales, pero un hallazgo negativo, no nos permite descartarlo, requiriendo exámenes complementarios.


Introduction: Ultrasound is an essential tool in diagnosing trauma in critical patients in the emergency room. The "Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma" (FAST) is the ultrasound protocol in the trauma context. It has been extensively validated for adult patients. However, few reviews have exposed and summarized the related evidence in pediatric emergency medicine. Objective: To present the FAST ultrasound protocol updated evidence in pediatric blunt abdominal trauma in the emergency department. Secondarily, to describe the steps to perform the examination and interpretation of their findings. Methodology: A bibliographical review was carried out in the main English or Spanish databases from 2000 to the present. Diagnostic studies and reviews of trauma treatment and prognosis in pediatrics were selected and summarized. Results: We found 998 articles, of which 22 were selected and screened for review. Ultrasound allows the identification of free fluid related to intra-abdominal injury in the context of pediatric trauma. Using ultrasound avoids children's exposure to the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. The FAST protocol in the context of blunt abdominal trauma has high specificity and low sensitivity for its diagnosis. Conclusion: The use of ultrasound in the field of emergency medicine has become an essential and safe tool. A positive finding allows us to diagnose intra-abdominal injuries, but a negative finding does not allow us to rule it out, requiring additional tests. The scientific evidence in the pediatric setting is more limited compared to adults.

ABSTRACT

ANTECEDENTES: La pandemia global de COVID-19 llega al continente americano en marzo del año 2020 y en menos de dos meses reúne a más de la mitad de los casos a nivel global. OBJETIVO: Caso clínico de una mujer embarazada con una presentación crítica de COVID-19 y embarazo a las 25 semanas de gestación, en el contexto del peak de la pandemia en Chile en el otoño del año 2020. CASO CLÍNICO: El 20 de junio de 2020, una mujer de 34 años, con 25 semanas de embarazo, es trasladada desde Hospital de San Bernardo a Clínica Las Condes en Santiago, Chile, con un cuadro de 10 días de evolución de COVID-19, que evoluciona a una situación crítica con insuficiencia respiratoria severa. Ingresa a unidad de cuidados intensivos para ventilación mecánica. Las imágenes de radiología simple y de tomografía axial computarizada de tórax demuestran una neumopatía bilateral con imágenes características opacidades en vidrio esmerilado, asociado a engrosamiento intersticial, imágenes descritas previamente como características para COVID-19. La paciente permanece en unidad de cuidados intensivos en ventilación mecánica por siete días, con evolución favorable posterior, mejoría del cuadro séptico y alta después de 22 días de hospitalización. El parto ocurre en forma espontánea a las 38 semanas, la madre y el recién nacido evolucionan en buen estado general. El examen histopatológico placentario demuestra compromiso inflamatorio vellositario y los exámenes de anticuerpos en sangre del recién nacido demuestran la presencia de anticuerpos del tipo IgG e IgM. Se trata de uno de los pocos casos demostrados reportados de transmisión transplacentaria vía sanguínea de SARS-CoV-2 de la madre al recién nacido.


BACKGROUND: The global COVID-19 pandemic reaches the American continent in March 2020 and in less than two months it brings together more than half of the cases globally.OBJECTIVE: The clinical case of a 25-week pregnant woman with a critical presentation of COVID-19 and pregnancy at 25 weeks of gestation, is presented in the context of the peak of the pandemic in Chile in the fall of 2020. CLINICAL CASE: On June 20, 2020, a 34-year-old woman, 25 weeks pregnant, is transferred from Hospital de San Bernardo to Clinica Las Condes in Santiago, Chile, with a ten-day evolution of a COVID-19 that evolves to critical with severe respiratory failure. She is admitted to the intensive care unit for mechanical ventilation. Chest computerized axial tomography images demonstrate bilateral pneumopathy with characteristic images of ground-glass opacities, associated with interstitial thickening, images previously described as characteristics for COVID-19. The patient remains in the intensive care unit on mechanical ventilation for seven days, with subsequent favorable evolution, improvement of the septic condition, and discharge after 22 days of hospitalization. Delivery occurs at 38 weeks, the mother and the newborn evolve in good general condition. The placental histopathological examination demonstrates villous inflammatory involvement, and the newborn's blood tests show the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies. It is one of the few reported cases of transplacental transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from the mother to the newborn.

ABSTRACT

Primary colorectal lymphoma is a rare form of presentation of gastrointestinal tract lymphomas. Inflammatory bowel disease and its treatment are risk factors for its development. We report a 47-year-old male patient with Ulcerative Colitis of two years of evolution, treated initially with azathioprine and later on with infliximab. Due to a relapse in symptoms after the second dose of infliximab, a new coloncoscopy was performed showing a rectal ulcerative lesion, corresponding to a large cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The patient was successfully treated with RCHOP chemotherapy (Rituximab cyclophosphamide doxorubicin vincristine prednisone). He is currently in disease remission.

ABSTRACT

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an heterogeneous disease. Three carcinogenic pathways determine its molecular profile: microsatellite instability (MSI), chromosomal instability (CIN) and CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). Based on the new molecular classification, four consensus CRC molecular subtypes (CMS) are established, which are related to clinical, pathological and biological characteristics of the tumor. Aim: To classify Chilean patients with sporadic CRC according to the new consensus molecular subtypes of carcinogenic pathways. Material and Methods: Prospective analytical study of 53 patients with a mean age of 70 years (55% males) with CRC, operated at a private clinic, without neoadjuvant treatment. From normal and tumor tissue DNA of each patient, CIN, MSI and CIMP were analyzed. Combining these variables, tumors were classified as CMS1/MSI-immune, CMS2/canonical, CMS3/metabolic and CMS4/mesenchymal. Results: CMS1 tumors (19%) were located in the right colon, were in early stages, had MMR complex deficiencies and 67% had an activating mutation of the BRAF oncogene. CMS2 tumors (31%) were located in the left colon, had moderate differentiation, absence of vascular invasion, lymphatic and mucin. CMS3 tumors (29%) were also left-sided, with absence of vascular and lymphatic invasion, and 29% had an activating mutation of the KRAS oncogene. CMS4 tumors (21%) showed advanced stages and presence of metastases. Conclusions: This new molecular classification contributes to understanding the heterogeneity of tumors. It is possible to differentiate molecular subgroups of a single pathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, opening the door to personalized medicine.

ABSTRACT

Peliosis hepatis is a rare vascular condition of the liver characterized by the presence of cystic blood-fi lled cavities distributed randomly throughout the liver parenchyma. We report a 46 year old female, with dyspepsia. An abdominal Doppler ultrasound showed a hyper vascularized solid liver nodule of 5 cm diameter. Magnetic resonance imaging and CT scan showed the same hyper vascularized nodule. With the possible diagnoses of primary hepatocellular carcinoma or focal nodular hyperplasia, the patient was subjected to an excision of hepatic segment VI, where the nodule was located. The pathological diagnosis of the surgical piece was a peliosis hepatis.

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 60 year old woman with multiple pancreatic nodules found on abdominal computed tomography. Thirteen years earlier she had undergone a left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. The patient underwent surgery with a preoperative diagnosis of multifocal metastatic or neuroendocrine tumor. At surgery, two metastatic nodules of renal cell carcinoma were found and excised. After four years of follow up there is no evidence of recurrence.

ABSTRACT

Las Betalactamasas de espectro extendido (BLEE) son enzimas de configuración plasmídica producidas por bacterias que hidrolizan los antibióticos betalactámicos. La aparición de cepas bacterianas productoras de BLEE, constituye un problema de salud pública que afecta a todo tipo de instituciones y a la comunidad en general. Este estudio tiene como objetivo determinar las incidencia de BLEE en pacientes hospitalizados del Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile. Se estudió un total de 238 cepas en el periodo julio-agosto 2004; de las cuales 184 correspondieron a de E. coli, 39 a K. pneumoniae y 15 a K. oxytoca, utilizándose el test confirmatorio de BLEE según estándar NCCLS 2004. Se encontró una incidencia de BLEE para E. coli de un 10.3 por ciento, para K. pneumoniae de 28.2 por ciento y de K. oxytoca de 20 por ciento, respectivamente. La distribución de los aislamientos de las cepas BLEE (+) en los distintos servicios del Hospital fue diversa: E. coli se encontró principalmente, en los servicios de medicina y cirugía, y K. pneumoniae en los servicios críticos. Los resultados del estudio permitieron conocer la incidencia y distribución de BLEEs en el Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile y justificaron la implementación de esta técnica de diagnóstico como parte de la rutina del laboratorio de microbiología.
