ABSTRACT

Resumen Los meningiomas son tumores del sistema nervioso central que representan alrededor del 14,3% a 19%, de ellos solo un 1.8% a 3,2% surge en el foramen magno, por años el abordaje de esta clase de tumores conllevaba una gran morbimortalidad asociada debido a que el foramen magno contiene una serie de estructuras anatómicas y neurovasculares críticas, sin embargo con el progreso de las técnicas quirúrgicas, el manejo de la anestesia neurológica y la formación de neurocirujanos con experiencia en cirugías de base de cráneo, ha podido revertir estos resultados y hacer de la cirugía una alternativa segura con bajas tasas de complicaciones. El presente trabajo pretende revisar la literatura acerca de la morbimortalidad asociada a los meningiomas de foramen magno y presentar un caso abordado en nuestro centro.


The meningiomas are tumors of the central nervous system that represent around 14.3% to 19%, of them only 1.8% to 3.2% arise in the foramen magnum, for years the approach of this class of tumors entailed a great associated morbidity and mortality because the foramen magnum contains a series of critical anatomical and neurovascular structures, however with the progress of surgical techniques, the management of neurological anesthesia and the training of neurosurgeons with experience in skull base surgeries, it has been able to reverse these results and make surgery a safe alternative with low complication rates. The present work aims to review the literature about morbidity and mortality associated with meningiomas of foramen magnum and present a case addressed in our center.

ABSTRACT

Specific bacterial diversity in bats of different food guilds in Southern sierra Oaxaca, Mexico. Bats have different ecologic roles in variable ecosystems that have been already described. They have been linked to several zoonoses, however little is known about the relationship between bat microbiota and their diet, and studies on the bacterial ecology of the microbiota in bats are limited. To contribute with the description of this important interaction between microbiota and host, the aim of this work was to characterize the composi- tion and bacterial diversity in the oral and anal regions of 10 species of bats, in relation to food guild. For this, monthly samplings were conducted using four mist nets (19:00-24:00h) from February to October 2012; nets were reviewed every 45 minutes. Each captured organism was sampled in the oral and anal cavities with sterile swabs; these were placed in pre-enrichment media and stored at 4°C. Bacterial samples were studied which through selective media, chromogenic and biochemical tests. We obtained samples from 502 frugivorous, 29 hematophagous and 11 nectivorous bats. We found a total of 26 bacterial species, with the predominant phylum Proteobacteria and the family Enterobacteriaceae. Statistically significant differences were observed between oral and anal microhabitats: frugivorous (t=-3.516, g.l=14.761, p=0.003), hematophagous (t=-3.320, g.l=19.262, p=0.003), and nectivorous (t=-2.497, g.l=11.933, p=0.026), and in some guilds [frugivorous and nectivorous in the anal region (t=2.274, g.l=29.660, p=0.030), hematophagous and nectivorous anal region (t=2.077, g.l=29.904, p=0.049)]. It was also shown that there is bacteria specificity in some guilds such as nectivorous and frugivorous with Bacillus cereus, B. sp. X. sp., as well as, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermis, Aeromonas hydrophyla in hematophagous. Bacterial presence can be explained by the type of diet and/or by transfer of bacteria from their preys. These bacteria may be indigenous to these bats and play the role of mutual benefit, providing the host with stable growth conditions and supplemental nutrients, while the microbiota contributes to host nutrition, development of the immune system, stabilization of the microbial population and to avoid pathogens colonization. By understanding the importance of the relation- ship between host and its bacterial populations, the conservation efforts being made to protect species such as bats may be improved.


Los estudios sobre ecología bacteriana de la micro- biota en los murciélagos son limitados, dicha información es importante para determinar la importancia de esta interacción entre microbiota y hospedero, por tal motivo el objetivo de este trabajo es caracterizar la composición y diversidad bacteriana en las regiones orales y anales de 10 especies de quirópteros con relación al gremio alimenticio a través de medios selectivos, cromogénicos y pruebas bio- químicas. Se muestrearon 502 murciélagos frugívoros, 29 hematófagos y 11 nectívoros, fueron encontradas un total de 26 especies bacterianas, siendo predominantes el filo proteobacterias y la familia Enterobacteriaceae. Se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el microhabitat oral y anal [frugívoros (t=-3.516, g.l=14.761, p=0.003), hematófagos (t=-3.320, g.l=19.262, p=0.003), y nectívoros (t=-2.497, g.l=11.933, p=0.026), así como en algunos gremios (frugívoros e nectívoros en la región anal (t=2.274, g.l=29.660, p=0.030), hematófago y nectívoros en la región anal (t=2.077, g.l=29.904, p=0.049)]. También se mostró que existe especificidad de bacterias en algunos gremios como: Bacillus cereus, B. spp. X. spp. en nectívoros y frugívoros, así como, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermis, Aeromonas hydrophyla en hematófagos que podría deberse al tipo de dieta que llevan o por transferencia de bacterias al contacto con sus presas. Los murciélagos han sido relacionados con varias zoonosis, sin embargo poco se conoce sobre la relación que existe entre el murciélago, su micro- biota y la dieta que llevan. Estas bacterias pudieran ser autóctonas de los murciélagos y jugar un papel de mutuo beneficio, proveyéndole al hospedero condiciones estables de crecimiento y nutrientes complementarios, mientras que la microbiota contribuye en la nutrición del hospedero, desarrollo del sistema inmune, estabilizando la población microbiana y prohibiendo la colonización de patógenos. Entender la importancia de la relación entre el hospedero y su población bacteriana puede ayudar a mejorar los esfuerzos de conservación que se vienen realizando para proteger especies como los murciélagos.
