ABSTRACT

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a health problem worldwide, and is associated with serious health consequences. The development of T2D has a strong association with obesity, sedentary lifestyle, genetic factors and other associations of diabetes. Faced with this problem, bariatric surgery has evolved as the treatment that produced a greater decrease in body weight in the long term, unlike the medical treatment. Moreover, it is postulated that bariatric surgery currently may have a beneficial effect in improving the treatment or even diabetes remission in obese patients. (AU)

ABSTRACT

El pioderma gangrenoso es una rara enfermedad inflamatoria que se caracteriza por una necrosis dolorosa de la piel que no cuenta con un tratamiento gold standard. Generalmente se asocia a enfermedades sistémicas, pero también se puede presentar después de procedimientos quirúrgicos. El diagnóstico es por exclusión, por esta razón es importante el estudio de enfermedades sistémicas e infecciones de la piel. El pioderma gangrenoso de la mama es un fenómeno poco frecuente, sólo se han reportado algunos casos. A continuación presentamos un caso de pioderma gangrenoso de la mama post reducción mamaria.


Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare inflammatory disease characterized by a painful skin necrosis, and does not have a gold standard treatment. Usually associated with systemic diseases, may occur after surgical procedures. Diagnosis is made by exclusion, therefore it is important to rule out systemic diseases and infections of the skin. Pyoderma gangrenosum of the breast is a rare phenomenon, only few cases have been reported. We present a case of pyoderma gangrenosum of the breast post breast reduction.

ABSTRACT

Los micosis superficiales corresponden o las afecciones de piel, pelos, uñas y mucosas por diversos especies de hongos. Sus principales agentes etiológicos corresponden a dermatofitos, levaduras del género Candiada y Malassezia sp. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo fue caracterizar y analizar las dermatomicosis superficiales según género, poro lo cual se realizó un estudio retrospectivo durante el periodo comprendido entre enero de 1999 y diciembre de 2006 en el Laboratorio de Dermatología del Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile. En el período observado se analizaron 30.590 registros de pacientes. El porcentaje de resultados positivos fue menor en mujeres que en hombres, tanto para micológicos (56% vs 66%, P < 0,00 1) como para cultivos (32% vs 39%, P < 0,00 1). Se observó que las mujeres tuvieron significativamente más presencia de levaduras en el examen micológico directo, desarrollo de Candida sp en el cultivo y mayor afectación de uñas de manos que los hombres.


Superficial mycosis (SM) includes various fungi species that affect skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes. The main a etiologic agents are dermatophytes, and Candida and Malassezia sp, yeasts. The aim of this study is to characterize SM and analyze its relation with gender. A retrospective study was realized in the Laboratory of Dermatology, University of Chile Clinical Hospital, between January 1999 and December 2006. 30,590 patient charts were reviewed. Women showed o lower percentage of positive results thon men in direct microscopic tests (56% vs, 66%, P < 0,00 1) and culture tests (32% vs, 39%, P < 0,00 1). Women had significantly higher yeast counts in direct microscopic tests, higher frequency of Candida sp. in cultures, and greater involvement of finger nails than men.
