ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: Las fracturas de la lámina cuadrilátera del acetábulo son las más difíciles de reducir y fijar. Se han desarrollado diferentes técnicas para la osteosíntesis de la lámina cuadrilátera. El objetivo de este trabajo fue crear implantes y un nuevo acceso quirúrgico para simplificar y mejorar la osteosíntesis de fracturas del acetábulo. Material y métodos: Un total de 83 pacientes fueron estudiados mediante la tomografía axial computarizada de ambos acetábulos, siendo medidos a nivel de columna posterior alta y baja con el fin de determinar longitud y diámetro de los implantes, a través del análisis de normalidad de variables, dónde p es > 0.05, usando la prueba Kolmogorov-Smirnov (Lilliefors). Las características anatómicas del nuevo acceso quirúrgico también se describen. La incisión se practicó en espécimen cadavérico para determinar la seguridad de todo el acceso. Resultados: El par de tornillos macho-hembra midió 20 x 6 x 8 mm (longitud, diámetro interno y de la cabeza), mientras que las placas fueron de 10 mm de ancho y 3 mm de espesor, con longitud correspondiente al número de orificios. Se desarrollaron instrumentos apropiados para su aplicación. Discusión: Este método puede facilitar la osteosíntesis del acetábulo. Se requieren estudios cadavéricos y clínicos para corroborarlo. Puede ser que se mejoren los resultados de osteosíntesis del acetábulo, con menor riesgo.


Abstract: Introduction: Quadrilateral plate fractures are the most difficult to reduce and fix. Different techniques have been developed for quadrilateral plate osteosynthesis. The objective of this work was to create an implant and a novel approach to simplify and improve acetabular fracture osteosynthesis. Material and methods: A total of 83 patients were studied. Pelvic CT scan images of both acetabula were measured at the proximal and distal posterior column. Implant length, diameters and morphological characteristics were determined. The anatomical features of a novel surgical approach are described. The paramedian approach was performed on a cadaveric specimen to determine its anatomical safety. Results: The screws measured 20 × 6 × 8 mm (length × core diameter x head diameter), with internal threads of 4.5 mm. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (Lilliefors) test was used, where p had to be > 0.05. Plates were previously determined to be 10 mm wide and 3 mm thick, of variable length. Instruments were developed to surmount difficulties. Discussion: This new procedure and implant could make the repair of acetabular fractures easier and offers several advantages. Clinical trials are needed to assess the benefits of this proposal. The newly described method can allow acetabular fracture osteosynthesis to be performed safely, avoid iatrogenic injury to anatomical structures and achieve better results.

ABSTRACT

Transport is associated with environmental problems, economic losses, health and social inequalities. A number of European and US cities have implemented initiatives to promote multimodal modes of transport. In Latin America changes are occurring in public transport systems and a number of projects aimed at stimulating non-motorized modes of transport (walking and cycling) have already been implemented. Based on articles from peer-reviewed academic journals, this paper examines experiences in Bogotá (Colombia), Curitiba (Brazil), and Santiago (Chile), and identifies how changes to the transport system contribute to encourage active transportation. Bus rapid transit, ciclovias, bike paths/lanes, and car use restriction are initiatives that contribute to promoting active transportation in these cities. Few studies have been carried out on the relationship between transport and physical activity. Car ownership continues to increase. The public health sector needs to be a stronger activist in the transport policy decision-making process to incorporate health issues into the transport agenda in Latin America.


El transporte está asociado con problemas ambientales, pérdidas económicas, salud poblacional e inequidades sociales. En ciudades de Europa y Estados Unidos hay iniciativas para promover el transporte multimodal. En Latinoamérica hay proyectos en curso para cambiar los sistemas de transporte y estimular el transporte no motorizado (caminar y montar bicicleta). Basada en una revisión de artículos publicados en revistas académicas, se identifica de qué forma los cambios en el transporte en Bogotá (Colombia), Curitiba (Brasil) y Santiago (Chile) han contribuido a promover el transporte activo. A pesar que en estas tres ciudades se están implementando iniciativas para promover el transporte activo (sistema de autobuses articulados, ciclovías, ciclorutas, y restricciones para el uso del coche particular), pocos estudios han sido desarrollados sobre la relación entre el transporte y la actividad física utilitaria. La tenencia del coche particular continúa incrementándose. El sector de salud necesita ser un agente fuerte para incorporar la salud pública en la agenda de transporte en América Latina.


O transporte está associado a problemas ambientais, perdas econômicas, de saúde da população e as desigualdades sociais. Em cidades da Europa e da América existem esforços para promover o transporte multimodal. Na América Latina, há projetos em andamento para mudar os sistemas de transporte e incentivar o transporte não motorizado (caminhar e andar de bicicleta). Com base em uma revisão de artigos publicados em revistas acadêmicas identificou-se como as mudanças no transporte contribuíram para promover o transporte ativo em Bogotá (Colômbia), Curitiba (Brasil) e Santiago (Chile). Apesar de que nestas três cidades se estejam implementando iniciativas para promover o transporte ativo (sistema de ônibus articulado, ciclovias, pistas de ciclismo e restrições ao uso do automóvel particular), poucos estudos têm sido desenvolvidos sobre a relação entre transporte e atividade física utilitária. O uso de carro particular continua aumentando. O setor da saúde tem de ser um ativista forte para incorporar a saúde pública na agenda de transportes na América Latina.

ABSTRACT

A reconstrução de pálpebra inferior se apresenta como um desafio técnico devido à complexidade funcionale estética da região envolvida. Os autores descrevemo caso de um paciente de 72 anos, branco, do sexomasculino, que apresentou carcinoma basocelular ulcerado em pálpebra inferior. A ressecção tumoral resultounum defeito de espessura total de pálpebra inferior direita, em toda sua extensão. O paciente foi submetido àreconstrução com cartilagem auricular e retalho frontalbaseado nas artérias supra-troclear e supra-orbital esquerdas.Este retalho apresenta um arco de rotação capaz de alcançar defeitos palpebrais e até maxilares.As seqüelas estéticas da área doadora são bem aceitáveis após o período de um ano, restando apenas cicatrizesdiscretas. O retalho frontal é seguro, com pouca morbidade na área doadora e é uma importante opçãopara as reconstruções palpebrais. A necessidade de um ato cirúrgico posterior para a ressecção do pedículo e doexcesso de volume de tecido adiposo do retalho é uma das principais desvantagens deste procedimento. O paciente apresentou evolução pós-operatória adequada,sem complicações.


The inferior eyelid reconstruction if presents as a challenge technician due to functional and aesthetic complexity of the involved region. The authors describethe case of a patient of 72 years, white, masculine, that presented basocelular carcinoma in the inferior eyelid.The tumoral ressection resulted in a defect of total thickness of right inferior eyelid, in all of your extension. The patient was submitted the reconstruction with auricular cartilage and frontal flap based on the left arteriessupra-troclear and supra-orbital. This flap presents an arc of rotation capable to reach eyelids and until maxillarydefects. The aesthetic defects of the area giver are well acceptable after the period of one year, remaining onlydiscrete scars. The frontal flap is safe, with little damage in the area giver and is an important option for the eyelidreconstructions. The necessity of a posterior surgical act for the resection of the flap excess remnant is one of themain disadvantages of this procedure. The patient presented adequate postoperative evolution, withoutcomplications.

ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to describe and compare various anthropometric, body composition, cardiorespiratory, metabolic and neuromuscular characteristics of 12 female athletes, members of the Puerto Rico national softball team. The subjects were divided into three categories according to their game specific requirements (game position): infielders (n = 5), outfielders (n = 4), and pitchers (n = 3). The mean and standard deviations of all the variables in each group was calculated. These athletes demonstrated high levels of body fat and below optimal levels of flexibility, cardiorespiratory endurance, and muscular strength and endurance. The results revealed deficiencies in the health related fitness components and in the physical preparation for sports competition. These results also suggest that the subjects are at risk for the development of cardiovascular diseases, sport injuries, and poor sport performance

ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to describe various anthropometric, body composition, cardiorespiratory, metabolic and neuromuscular characteristics of 31 athletes (F = 5, M = 26) members of the Puertorrican Cycling Federation's national pre-selection. The athletes were divided into four categories according to their sex and age. The mean and standard deviation of all the variables in each category was computed. An Analysis of Covariance was conducted to determine significant differences between the mean's of the four categories. Male cyclists showed superior results compared to female cyclists in all the variables studied except body mass, ectomorphy, VO2 max, max HR, max power (W), and neuromuscular function in which they showed no statistical differences. The anthropometric, body composition, max power (W) and cardiorespiratory characteristics of our cyclists compared with those reported for international cyclists. The groups means for push ups, sit ups and flexibility were below the excellent classification when compared to the general population's health related physical fitness norms

ABSTRACT

Estudo multicentrico, prospectivo, efetuado por cirurgioes de seis diferentes hospitais de Paris. Os criterios de selecao foram: doenca litiasica sintomatica, vesicula funcionante e presenca de um a cinco calculos de diametro superior a 30 mm. O aparelho utilizado foi o "French Sonolith 3000" e foi respeitado o limite de 2500 choques por sessao. Foram realizadas mais de quatro sessoes. Foram analisados 153 pacientes. Depois das sessoes, 31 tiveram dor no quadrante superior direito do abdome, dois colica biliar, dois febre e tres hematuria transitoria. Apos a ultima sessao, 26 por cento dos doentes nao tinham calculos residuais ou fragmentos de menos de 2 mm (bons resultados), 39 por cento apresentaram fragmentos de mais de 5 mm e 20 por cento nao haviam tido fragmentacao dos calculos. Bons resultados foram observados em: 1) 27 por cento dos calculos radiolucentos e 24 por cento dos calcificados; 2) 33 por cento dos casos de calculo unico, 13 porcento dos de dois calculos e 21 por cento dos de tres a cinco calculos; 3) 29 por cento dos doentes de calculos de menos de 10 mm, 27 por cento dos que tinham calculos de 10 a 20 mm e 18 por cento naqueles cujo diametro era de 20 a 30 mm. Dois enfermos necessitaram de esfincterotomia endoscopica logo depois de litotripsia para retirada de fragmentos coledocianos;...
