ABSTRACT
Background: Hernia is defined as a defect of fascial and muscle-aponeurotic structures, allowing the protrusion of elements. The most frequent is inguinal region, prevailing in men 3:1 vs female. The most frequent complications are persistent chronic pain.Methods: A descriptive, prospective and cross-sectional study was performed in postoperative inguinal plasty patients, using a laparoscopic approach and open approach, the presence or absence of inguinodynia was studied using the visual analogue pain scale (VAS) and the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament, in addition to a systematic investigation in the following PubMed, Medline, Clinical Key and Index Medicus databases, with articles from July 2019 to April 2020.Results: Inguinodynia was present in laparoscopic surgery and open approach, 58 patients had inguinodynia at two weeks associated with the inflammatory response of the tissues and the presence of a foreign body (mesh), 77% of the patients with persistence of pain at 3 months reported mild pain (VAS 1-4), 21% moderate pain that did not limit their daily activities (VAS 5-8) and 2% of the patients reported severe pain which limited physical activity and effort (VAS 9-10).Conclusions: Inguinodynia has an impact on hospital costs and quality life, we consider it is essential to domain the anatomical variants of the region. We propose an extensive follow-up of this group of patients, to make a comparison of diagnostic methods, as well as conservative management vs. modern techniques for pain control.
ABSTRACT
En el presente trabajo se reportan las respectivas altitudes para mosquitos de la tribu Anophelini (Diptera: Culicidae: Anophelinae) del Municipio Gran Sabana, estado Bolívar, Venezuela. Se señalan nuevos registros de altitudes en el país para Chagasia ablusa Harbach, Chagasia bonneae Root y doce especies del género Anopheles. La Gran Sabana cubre una superficie de cerca de 18.000 km², con altitudes que varían de 750 m a 1.450 m. La mayor parte de las tierras altas de la misma, presenta un clima característico de bosques húmedos sub-montanos siempre verdes, con temperaturas promedio anual que oscilan entre 18ºC y 24ºC, con un promedio de precipitación anual entre 2.000 y 3.500 mm, y un corto periodo seco que ocurre entre los meses de Diciembre y Marzo.
Altitude records for mosquitos in the tribe Anophelini (Diptera: Culicidae: Anophelinae) from the Gran Sabana municipality, Bolívar State, Venezuela are reported. New altitude registers include Chagasia ablusa Harbach, Chagasia bonneae Root and 12 species of Anopheles. The Gran Sabana is an undulating grass-dominated upland savanna covering an area close to 18,000 km², with altitudes ranging from 750 m to 1,450 m. Most of the Gran Sabana highlands have a humid submontane climate, with average annual temperatures ranging between 18ºC and 24ºC, and average annual rainfall between 2,000 and 3,500 mm. It has a very short dry season occurring from December to March.
ABSTRACT
Cervical carcinoma is a disease that has had a major impact in all social spheres contributing to high rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide, including malignant neoplasms that develop in the lower fibromuscular portion of the uterus. Objective : to identify the knowledge about cervical cancer in women included in the Early Cervical Cancer Detection Program, belonging to the Office No. 4 of the Popular Council Arriete - Ciego Montero. Methodology : a sample of 93 participants was selected from a universe of 233 patients included in the program, which represents 40%. The data were obtained mainly through the application of a survey to the population under study. Results : the 36-40 age group prevailed. 33.3% of the patients surveyed had a High school diploma. 81% of respondents reported having received information about this disease. Having multiple sexual partners was identified as the most common risk factor for 93.5% of patients. Conclusions : There is no information about the age of some patients included in the Early Cervical Cancer Detection Program, nor about the periodicity of the Pap test, the main symptoms, risk factors and methods of prevention of cervical cancer pathology.
El cáncer cervico-uterino, o carcinoma del cuello uterino, es una enfermedad que ha provocado gran impacto en todas las esferas sociales contribuyendo a las altas tasas de morbilidad y mortalidad en el mundo entero, incluye las neoplasias malignas que se desarrollan en la porción fibromuscular inferior del útero. Objetivo Identificar los conocimientos sobre cáncer cérvico-uterino en las mujeres comprendidas dentro del programa de detección precoz del mismo, pertenecientes al Consultorio N° 4 del Consejo Popular Arriete - Ciego Montero Metodología De un universo de 233 pacientes incluidas dentro del programa se seleccionó una muestra de 93 participantes, la cual representa el 40 %. Los datos fueron obtenidos fundamentalmente mediante la aplicación de una encuesta a la población objeto de estudio. Resultados Predominó el grupo de edad de 36 a 40 años, el 33.3 % de las pacientes encuestadas presentan un nivel de escolaridad de duodécimo grado, el 81 % de las participantes encuestadas refirió haber recibido información sobre esta enfermedad, el tener múltiples compañeros sexuales fue identificado como el factor de riesgo más frecuente por el 93.5 % de las pacientes. Conclusiones Existe desconocimiento en algunas pacientes sobre el grupo de edades de las pacientes comprendidas dentro del Programa de Detección Precoz de Cáncer Cérvico-uterino, la periodicidad de la realización de la prueba de Papanicolaou, los principales síntomas, factores de riesgo y métodos de prevención de esta patología.
