ABSTRACT

Los embarazos múltiples se consideran una entidad de alto riesgo obstétrico. Su incidencia ha ido en aumento debido a la utilización de técnicas de reproducción asistida y el aumento de la edad materna. Se presentan 2 casos de embarazos triples monocoriales triamnióticos, de sexo femenino y masculino. En ambos embarazos se manifestaron complicaciones, principalmente fetales y neonatales, atribuidas a embarazos múltiples descritas en la literatura.


Multiple pregnancies are considered a high-risk obstetric entity. Their incidence has been increasing due to the use of assisted reproductive techniques and increased maternal age. Here, we describe two cases of triamniotic monochorionic triplet pregnancies, female and male respectively. Both pregnancies demonstrated complications, mainly fetal and neonatal, attributed to multiple pregnancies reported in the literature.

ABSTRACT

En los últimos años ha aumentado la frecuencia de las gestaciones múltiples, especialmente por las técnicas de reproducción asistida. Tanto los embarazos gemelares monocoriales como dicoriales tienen mayor riesgo de patología obstétrica; los monocoriales además presentan riesgo de síndrome de transfusión feto-fetal. Sin embargo, la contribución de la vía de parto sobre el resultado neonatal en embarazos gemelares dobles monocoriales no complicados, no está del todo clara, sin existir consenso sobre ésta. OBJETIVO: Determinar qué vía de parto ha demostrado tener mejor resultado neonatal en este tipo de embarazos gemelares. MÉTODO: Se buscó en Pubmed,Tripdatabase, Cochrane Library, SciELO, LILACS, Latindex y Google Scholar utilizando los términos “twins”, “delivery, obstetrics”y “monochorionic” y los criterios de inclusión: embarazos múltiples dobles monocoriales y su vía de parto; exclusión: comorbilidad y/o malformación u óbito de algún feto, patología materna y/o condición obstétrica que contraindique parto vaginal. RESULTADOS: Se seleccionaron cuatro artículos. Un artículo mostró que habría mayor riesgo de ingreso a UCI, ventilación mecánica, distrés respiratorio y mortalidad en los gemelos dobles monocoriales nacidos por cesárea en comparación al parto vaginal. Otro artículo, no observó diferencias significativas en morbilidad neonatal entre las distintas vías de parto. CONCLUSIÓN: Esta revisión mostró que no hay evidencia de mayor morbimortalidad neonatal al ofrecer parto vaginal en embarazos gemelares dobles monocoriales no complicados. Sin embargo, faltan mayores estudios sobre el tema para realizar una recomendación consistente a favor del parto vaginal sobre la cesárea...


INTRODUCTION: During the last decades the frequency of multiple gestations has increased due to assisted fertilization techniques. Both monochorial and dichorial gemelar pregnancies have increased risk of obstetric pathology and monochorial pregnancies also have risk of feto-fetal transfusion syndrome. Nonetheless the contribution of the mode of delivery on the neonatal outcome in non-complicated monochorial double gemelar pregnancies, is not clear and there is no consensus on this subject. OBJECTIVE: To determine which mode of delivery, cesarean section or vaginal birth, has demonstrated better neonatal outcome in non-complicated monochorial double gemelar pregnancies. METHOD: Scientific literature research was performed introducing the terms “twins”,“delivery, obstetrics” and “monochorionic” on the following search tools: Pubmed, Tripdatabase, Cochrane Library, SciELO, LILACS, Latindex and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria: double monochorial multiple pregnancy and delivery. Exclusion criteria: fetal morbidity and/or malformation, fetal death, maternal pathology and/or obstetric condition that contraindicates vaginal birth. RESULTS: four articles were selected. One article demonstrated that there is significant increased risk of CPU admissions, mechanical ventilation, respiratory distress syndrome and mortality in twins born by cesarean section in comparison with vaginal birth. Another study observed no significant differences in neonatal morbidity between modes of delivery. CONCLUSION: This revision found no evidence of increased risk in neonatal morbimortality when offering vaginal birth in non-complicated monochorial double gemelar pregnancies. Nonetheless, there is lack of sufficient good quality publications on the topic to make ac onsistent recommendation in favor of vaginal birth...

ABSTRACT

La actinomicosis pelviana es una enfermedad granulomatosa crónica muy infrecuente, causada por un bacilo Gram positivo, y que clínicamente suele confundirse con neoplasias pelvianas. Se presenta un caso clínico en que sospechó la infección en forma temprana, logrando resultados exitosos con tratamiento médico.


Pelvic actinomycosis is a chronic granulomatous disease quite uncommon; it is caused by positive Gram bacilli, and clinically it may appear as a pelvic neoplasia. We present a case report in which the infection was pursued actively, achieving excellent results with medical treatment.

ABSTRACT

El absceso renal es una grave e infrecuente complicación de las infecciones del tracto urinario, siendo excepcional durante el embarazo. Su sintomatologia es inespecífica, por lo que el diagnóstico debe buscarse en forma activa. Se presenta un caso clínico de un absceso renal en una paciente cursando un embarazo gemelar, siendo tratada durante la gestación con buenos resultados.


Renal abscess is an infrequent but serious complication of the urinary tract infection, and exceptional in pregnancy. The symptomatology is unspecific, so the diagnosis must be pursued actively. We present a case report of a renal abscess in a twin pregnancy, treated successfully during gestation.

ABSTRACT

Despite the availability of newer therapeutic interventions to improve clinical outcome in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), the incidence of infections as a cause of morbidity and mortality has not changed over the past 30 years. SLE itself increases the risk of infection, due to genetic (complement deficiencies) and acquired factors such as functional asplenia (humoral immunodepression) and the use of immunosuppressive drugs. These medications increase the risk of opportunistic infections that are associated with an altered cellular immune response. The main etiologic infectious agents in SLE patients are common bacterial pathogens, especially capsulated ones. The most common sites are lung, skin, bladder, brain and systemic infections. The main risk factor for infection is the history of a previous one. The clinical approach to SLE patients with suspected infectious diseases must consider the possibility of a flare up of the underlying disease, posing an additional problem to the clinician.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Determinar si los preparados de estrógenos y progestágenos orales, usados ampliamente en la práctica clínica, son realmente útiles en el manejo de quistes ováricos con características de benignidad en la ecografía transvaginal. Método: Se realizó una búsqueda detallada en bases de datos electrónicas de uso frecuente. Dos de los artículos encontrados cumplían con los criterios de inclusión. Resultados: Mackenna y cois trabajaron con un total de 50 mujeres con quistes funcionales inducidos farmacológicamente. Dividieron en forma aleatoria a las pacientes en dos grupos. Uno de ellos recibió anticonceptivos orales y el otro no. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en el tiempo de desaparición de las lesiones a la ecografía entre ambos grupos. Bayar y cois, siguieron a 141 mujeres en edad fértil que presentaban quistes simples en la ecografía. Conformaron dos grupos. El primero se manejó con anticonceptivos orales y el segundo de manera expectante. En ese estudio no se encontraron diferencias significativas en la reducción del tamaño de los quistes en el tiempo al comparar ambos grupos. Conclusiones: Sería adecuado que el médico al enfrentarse a mujeres premenopáusicas con quistes simples, considerase inicialmente el manejo conservador por al menos dos meses y luego evaluase la persistencia o desaparición de éstos con estudio de imágenes.


Objective: To establish if oral contraceptives composed by estrogens and progestogens are useful in the management of ovarian cysts that appear benign in transvaginal ultrasound. Method: A detailed search was performed in electronic data bases. Two of the articles found met the inclusion criteria. Results: Mackenna and cols, worked with fifty women with functional ovarian cysts pharmacologically induced. They divided their patients randomly in two groups. One of them received oral contraceptives and the other did not. There were no significant differences between the groups in the time of disappearance of the lesions in ultrasound. Bayar and cols, studied 141 fertile women with simple ovarian cysts in ultrasound. One group received oral contraceptives and the other did not. In this study there were no significant differences between groups in the reduction of the size of the cysts over time. Conclusions: In premenopausic women with simple ovarian cysts it would be adequate to considerate expectant management initially for at least two months.
