ABSTRACT

Introducción: El Dengue es una enfermedad infecciosa, sistémica y dinámica. Es una sola enfermedad, con diferentes presentaciones clínicas y evolución impredecible. Se hizo endémica en Paraguay desde el año 2002; el objetivo de este trabajo es determinar las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de la epidemia de diciembre de 2012 a febrero de 2013. Materiales y Métodos: Diseño descriptivo, retrospectivo, transversal. Fueron incluidos pacientes que desarrollaron criterios de casos probables de Dengue que consultaron al Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital de Clínicas. 1037 pacientes cumplían los criterios de inclusión. Resultados: La frecuencia de casos de Dengue fue del 14%. La edad promedio fue de 37,7 ± 16,3. El 56% era del sexo femenino. El 87% de los pacientes provenían del departamento Central. El mes de mayor número de casos con 48% fue febrero. El 83% de los pacientes fue tratado de forma ambulatoria. El promedio de días de internación fue de 2,39 ± 1,65. Sólo el 20% de los pacientes presentó algún tipo de comorbilidad. La fiebre estuvo presente en el 99,3% de los pacientes. El 20% de los pacientes tenía signos de alarma al momento de la consulta. La presión de pulso promedio fue 40,4 ± 12,1 La frecuencia cardiaca media fue de 93,8 ± 17,3. Promedio de hematocrito fue 42,2 ± 5,07. Promedio de plaquetas fue 111.500 ± 79972,1. Promedio de leucocitos 4561 ± 3717. Se registró un óbito. Conclusión: Este trabajo muestra las diferentes aristas de una de las epidemias más importantes desarrollada a nivel país. Palabras clave: dengue, características clínicas, hospital de clínicas


Background: Dengue is an infectious disease, systemic and dynamic. It presents several clinical manifestations and unpredictable outcome. It is endemic in Paraguay since year 2002; the aim of this research is to determine clinical and epidemiologic characters of the epidemic from December 2012 to February 2013. Methods: It was designed an cross sectional study, observational and retrospective. They were included patients that developed criteria of dengue cases that consulted in Emergencies Service of Clinics Hospital. Results: Frequency of Cases dengue were 14%. Age mean was 37, 7 ± 16,3. 56% were women. 87% of the patients came from Central Department. February was the month with mostly cases with 48%. 83% patients did not require internment. The average days of hospitalization were 2.39 ± 1.65. 20% of patient had some comorbidity. Fever was detected in 99,3% of patients. 20% had signs alarms at the moment of the consult. The average pulse pressure was 40,4 ± 12,1. The average cardiac frecuency was 93,8 ± 17,3. The average hematocrit was 42,2 ± 5,07. The average of platelets was 111.500 ± 79.972,1. The Average of leukocytes was 4561 ± 3717. One death was recorded. Conclusion: This paper shows the different aspects of one of the most important epidemics developed in our country. Keywords: dengue, clinical, hospital clinics.

ABSTRACT

Fundamento. La asociación bidireccional entre factores psicosociales y afecciones alérgicas ha sido abordada históricamente con resultados poco concluyentes y el número de estudios que la abordan es escaso en Argentina. Objetivo. Valorar la asociación entre prevalencia de enfermedades alérgicas y variables del contexto de la salud mental. Lugar de aplicación. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina. Diseño. Estudio observacional de corte transversal. Población. Se integró con 3.183 adultos jóvenes, 66,3% mujeres, entre 17 y 36 años. Método. Se utilizaron cuestionarios para enfermedades alérgicas y factores psicológicos y familiares. Resultados. Se observó ansiedad significativa en asociación con asma, rinitis, eccema, urticaria y angioedema. Se halló dificultad para identificar y distinguir sentimientos de sensaciones corporales y para describir sentimientos en los individuos sintomáticos. Se encontró mayor frecuencia de padres ausentes entre individuos que manifestaban asma o rinitis y de primogénitos en sujetos que referían rinitis. Todas las enfermedades se asociaron a la presencia de antecedentes familiares y al tabaquismo. Conclusión. La significativa asociación entre factores psicológicos y alergia agrega evidencias para sugerir la necesidad del abordaje interdisciplinario de alergia tanto en el campo de la investigación fisiopatológica o epidemiológica como en el terreno de la promoción, prevención y atención de la salud integral de las personas(AU)


Background. Bidirectional relationship between psychosocial factors and allergic processes has been historically assessed but remain inconclusive and not much explored in Argentine. Objective. To asses associations between allergic conditions prevalence and some factors related to mental health. Setting. Medical Sciences Faculty, National University of Rosario, Argentina. Design. Observational cross sectional study. Population. 3183 young adults, 66,3% female aged 17 to 36 years. Methods. Statement with different instruments for the symptomatic exploration of allergy and some psychological and familiar factors. Results. Significant anxiety in association with asthma, rhinitis, eczema, urticaria and angioedema were observed. Difficult to identify and distinguish feelings from corporal sensations and to describe feelings were observed in all allergic conditions. Individual which had shown asthma and rhinitis had more frequently the absence of father alive. Among rhinitis subjects the first order of birth was significantly observed. All diseases were associated with the presence of family history and smoking. Conclusion. Significant association between psychological factors and allergic condition were shown. Factors analyzed were related to genetic heritage as much as individual development in familiar and sociocultural environment. They constitute evidence enough to suggest the need of the interdisciplinary boarding of allergy so much at the field of the physiopathologic or epidemiologic investigation as in the ground of promotion, prevention and attention of the people comprehensive health.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Plant species associated with commercial melon crops and surrounding areas were examined to identity the natural host plants of Aphis gossypii Glover. The study was conducted in two farms located in different melon production areas and plant life zones of Costa Rica. Plant species diversity, percent coverage and distribution over time were recorded during one year. Differences between locations were observed. A total of 86 plant species (49 families) and 72 plant species (40 families) were identified associated to the crop in farms A and B, respectively. In both farms a total of 24 species plants (16 families) were colonized by A. gossypii and 16 (10 families) are new reports of host plant species for this aphid. The new reports are: Justicia comata, Tetramerium nervosum, Alternanthera pubiflora, Cassia massoni, C. reticulata, Cleome viscosa, C. spinosa, Croton argenteus, Caperonia palustris, Chamaesyce gyssopilopia, Phyllantus amarus, Sida decumbens, Ludwigia erecta, Passiflora foetida, Guazuma ulmifolia and Corchorus orinocensis.
