ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los pacientes neurocríticos son aquellos con afectaciones en el sistema nervioso central y otros sistemas vitales, principalmente como consecuencia de traumatismos severos o complicaciones graves derivadas de enfermedades degenerativas. Su atención es fundamental durante el ingreso a las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI), y su correcta realización por parte del personal de enfermería puede ser un factor decisivo para reducir efectos colaterales. Objetivo: Reconocer los niveles de conocimientos sobre el cuidado de pacientes neurocríticos del personal de enfermería de la UCI del Centro Médico Naval. Materiales y métodos: Se adaptó un instrumento para la evaluación de los cuidados en pacientes neurocríticos y se conformaron trece reactivos en forma de indicadores sobre tipo de conocimientos. Además, se aplicó una prueba no paramétrica de chi-cuadrada para variables cualitativas y una prueba exacta de Fisher. Resultados: El estudio arrojó una correlación entre un mayor nivel de conocimientos y los años de experiencia (p<0.005), el nivel de estudios (p<0.001) y la edad (p<0.002). No se encontraron asociaciones con el sexo o el turno de servicio. Conclusiones: En 22.5% de los casos se obtuvo un nivel regular de conocimientos, 2.5% tuvo un nivel deficiente y el 75% restante obtuvo un nivel de conocimientos por encima de lo esperado. La asociación entre el nivel de conocimientos sobre el cuidado de pacientes neurocríticos y el nivel de estudios, así como los años de experiencia en servicio, permiten mejorar las técnicas de atención a través de la capacitación continua del personal de enfermería.


Introduction: Neurocritical patients are those who suffer injuries in the central nervous system and other vital systems, mainly as a result of severe trauma or serious complications derived from degenerative diseases. The adequate care of these patients is essential during their admission to the Intensive Care Units (ICU); correct nursing staff performance is determinant to reduce collateral effects. Objective: To assess the level of neurocritical care expertise of the nursing staff of the ICU in the Centro Médico Naval. Materials and methods: An instrument for the evaluation of neurocritical care was adapted and 13 test items were used as indicators. In addition, a nonparametric chi-square test for qualitative variables and a Fisher exact test were applied. Results: The study showed a significant correlation between a higher level of knowledge and years of experience (p<0.005), level of education (p<0.001) and age (p<0.002). No associations were found between gender and nursing shift. Conclusions: 22.5% of the nursing staff had an average level of knowledge, 2.5% had a deficient level, and the remaining 75% had an unexpectedly high level of knowledge. The association between neurocritical care expertise and educational background, as well as the years of experience, generate an improvement in care skills through the continuous training of nursing staff.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Es posible deducir la mejoría o empeoramiento del intercambio gaseoso en el paciente con COVID-19 en ventilación mecánica invasiva mediante el índice PaO2/FiO2 tras el uso de la posición prono. Objetivos: Identificar los cambios en el índice PaO2/FiO2 tras el uso de tres ciclos de prono, y detallar las características sociodemográficas de los pacientes. Material y métodos: En este estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo se analizaron los expedientes clínicos de 60 pacientes con COVID-19, se tomaron en cuenta valores de PaO2/FiO2, saturación de oxígeno y datos sociodemográficos. Resultados: Con el uso de tres ciclos de posición prono de 24 horas cada uno, en promedio la PaO2/FiO2 aumentó 26.38 mmHg (20%) y la saturación de oxígeno aumentó un 6.3%. 66.7% de la población eran hombres, y el promedio de edad fue de 67.10 años. Limitación: Hubo limitaciones de carácter retrospectivo debido al contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19 y la alta carga de trabajo que imposibilitó la adecuada recolección de información relevante, como los tipos de tratamiento farmacológico y de soporte vital empleados. Conclusiones: El uso de la posición prono en el paciente orointubado con COVID-19 constituye una estrategia de primera línea, pues ha demostrado un aumento en la PaO2/FiO2, que resulta en una mejoría en la oxigenación/perfusión.


Introduction: The improvement or worsening of gas exchange in patients with COVID-19 on invasive mechanical ventilation can be determined through the PaO2/FiO2 index after using the prone position. Objectives: To identify changes in the PaO2/FiO2 index after three prone cycles, and to describe the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients. Material and methods: In this descriptive and retrospective study, the clinical records of 60 patients with COVID-19 were analyzed, PaO2/FiO2 oxygen saturation values and sociodemographic data were considered. Results: With the use of three prone position cycles of 24 hours each, on average, the PaO2/FiO2increased by 26.38 mmHg (20.09%) and oxygen saturation increased by 6.3%. Male population represented 66.7%, and the average age was 67.10 years. Limitation: There was retrospective limitations due to the COVID-19 pandemic context and high workload, which made difficult to adequately record relevant information, including types of pharmacological and life support treatments used. Conclusions: The prone position used on orointubated patient with COVID-19 constitutes a first-line strategy; it has shown an increase in PaO2/FiO2 values, which leads to an improvement in oxygenation/perfusion.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La información sobre la presentación y los factores predisponentes del síndrome de úlcera gástrica en mulas (SUGM) es escasa en comparación con el síndrome de úlcera gástrica en equinos (SUGE) y asnales. Debido a la naturaleza multifactorial de este síndrome, la helicobacteriosis ha sido estudiada en otras especies. El objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer la presencia de Helicobacter spp. en mucosa gástrica de mulas a través de la prueba rápida de la ureasa (PRU) y de análisis histopatológico. Menos del 27% de las muestras reaccionaron a la PRU, con tiempos prolongados de reacción, y al Agar Urea (prueba de oro), con menor porcentaje de positividad. La histopatología reveló procesos inflamatorios crónicos, sin presencia de bacterias curvoespiraladas. Las PRU no fueron conclusivas en la determinación de Helicobacter spp., comportamiento similar reportado en equinos. Se requieren exámenes diagnósticos más específicos y procedimientos complementarios orientados a explorar por regiones del estómago en la consideración del número de muestras representativas.


ABSTRACT Information on the presentation and predisposing factors of Mule Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (MGUS) is scarce, compared to Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) and donkeys. Within the multifactorial nature of this syndrome, helicobacteriosis has been studied in other species. The objective of this work was to establish the presence of Helicobacter spp. in gastric mucosa of mules, through the rapid urease test (RUT) and histopathological analysis. Less than 27% of the samples reacted to RUTs, with prolonged reaction times, and Urea Agar (gold test), with a lower percentage of positivity. Histopathology revealed chronic inflammatory processes, without the presence of curved-spiral bacteria. The RUTs were not conclusive in the determination of Helicobacter spp., a similar behavior reported in horses. More specific diagnostic tests and complementary procedures are required to explore the regions of the stomach in consideration of the number of representative samples.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La valoración del dolor del paciente critico se basa en indicadores conductuales. Actualmente existen diversas escalas con diferencias en la forma de puntuar la presencia de dolor. Objetivo: Determinar la concordancia entre mediciones del dolor según la Escala de conductas indicadoras de dolor (ESCID) y la Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS). Métodos: Estudio observacional en pacientes con ventilación mecánica. Se aplicaron la BPS y la ESCID en reposo y durante aspiración de secreciones, a fin de determinar su concordancia mediante el coeficiente Kappa de Cohen y el nivel de dolor de la ESCID. Resultados: La concordancia estadística entre la BPS y la ESCID fue 0.23 según el coeficiente Kappa de Cohen, considerada "regular" de acuerdo con Landis y Koch. La BPS determinó presencia de dolor en 93.4% de pacientes durante la aspiración de secreciones, y la ESCID lo detectó en el 100%, clasificando 80% en nivel moderado­grave. Limitaciones de estudio: Muestra de 15 pacientes. El estudio se realizó en dos momentos. Originalidad: El resultado obtenido no tiene comparación con otro estudio, pues sólo se ha estudiado la concordancia entre observadores. Conclusiones: La concordancia entre las mediciones del dolor con ambas escalas se considera baja. La ESCID muestra mayor sensibilidad, aunque los niveles de puntuaciones bajas pueden ser causados por factores no relacionados con dolor. BPS muestra menor sensibilidad, pues considera la presencia de dolor con puntajes sin clasificaciones intermedias. Este estudio apoya el uso de ESCID como una escala confiable en las valoraciones del dolor.


Introduction: Pain assessment in critical patients is based on behavioral indicators. Currently, there are various scales that differ in their pain-scoring systems. Objective: To determine the concordance between pain measurements according the Behavioural Indicators of Pain Scale (ESCID, by its acronym in Spanish) and Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS). Methods: Observational study in patients subjected to mechanical ventilation. The BPS and the ESCID were applied at rest and during aspiration of secretions, in order to determine their concordance using Cohen's kappa coefficient and pain level according to ESCID. Results: The statistical concordance between the BPS and ESCID was 0.23 according to Cohen's kappa coefficient, considered "regular" as stated by Landis and Koch. BPS determined the presence of pain in 93.4% of patients during aspiration of secretions, and ESCID detected it in 100% of patients, with 80% in the moderate-severe level. Study limitations: Sample of 15 patients. The study was performed two times. Originality: The obtained results have no comparison with other studies, since they only analyze inter-observer concordance. Conclusions: The concordance between pain measurements with both scales is considered low. ESCID shows higher pain sensitivity, although low score levels may be caused by factors not related to pain. BPS shows lower sensitivity, since it considers the presence of pain with scores without intermediate classifications. This study supports the use of ESCID as a reliable scale for pain assessment

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La donación de órganos se ha posicionado como el tratamiento definitivo para quienes la única forma de sobrevivencia es la inserción de uno o más órganos sanos donados por otras personas. Por lo anterior, el profesional de enfermería debe poseer los conocimientos científicos, técnicos, tecnológicos y humanísticos que integran el correcto mantenimiento y procuración de órganos en personas adultas con muerte encefálica. Objetivo. Analizar la literatura sobre intervenciones de enfermería en el manejo de procuración de órganos en las personas adultas con muerte encefálica, en función de una revisión sistemática para fundamentar en una segunda fase la guía clínica de intervenciones de enfermería correspondiente con el uso de la taxonomía de NANDA, NOC, NIC. Material y método. Para la limitación de búsqueda de información científica se ejecutó el método PICO, y para su evaluación la clasificación de los niveles de evidencia basados en el Centre for Evidence ­ Based Medicine de Oxford (OCEBM). Resultados. Las intervenciones de enfermería se enfocan en las complicaciones que la procuración de órganos presenta frecuentemente, como falla cardíaca, hipotensión, arritmias, edema pulmonar, diabetes insípida, hipotiroidismo, falla en los mecanismos termoreguladores e infección ocular. Conclusiones. Las intervenciones de enfermería focalizadas en prevenir complicaciones en la procuración de órganos de personas adultas con muerte encefálica generan un óptimo proceso de donación ­ trasplante de órganos.


Introduction: Organ donation is the definitive treatment for patients whose only survival option is the transplantation of one or more healthy organs from another person. Therefore, the nursing professional must have the scientific, technical, technological and humanistic knowledge that integrates the correct maintenance and organ procurement in adults with brain death. Objective: To conduct a systematic literature review on nursing interventions in the management of organ procurement in adults with brain death, to later propose a corresponding clinical guideline of nursing interventions based on the NANDA ­ NOC ­ NIC taxonomy. Material and method: The PICO framework was used to limit the research data, and the classification of the levels of evidence of the Centre for Evidence ­ Based Medicine of Oxford (OCEBM) for its assessment. Results: Nursing interventions focus on the most frequent complications in organ procurement, such as heart failure, hypotension, arrhythmias, pulmonary edema, diabetes insipidus, hypothyroidism failure of thermoregulatory mechanisms, and eye infection. Conclusions: Nursing interventions focused on preventing complications in organ procurement in adults with brain death generate an optimal donation process ­ organ transplantation.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi mapear e descrever a ocorrência de roedores e seus ectoparasitas nas regiões norte do departamento de La Paz, Bolívia. De abril a maio e julho a agosto de 2017, 80 indivíduos da espécie Oligoryzomys microtis foram capturados em armadilhas vivas. Uma amostra aleatória de 36 indivíduos foi analisada quanto à presença de ectoparasitas, encontrando um total de 458 ectoparasitas. Os roedores foram capturados em dois tipos de ambientes: floresta secundária e áreas cultivadas, sendo a área cultivada a área com maior captação de roedores. Dos ectoparasitas, Laelaps sp. foi o gênero com maior abundância e Mysolaelaps sp. o mais prevalente; o gênero Polygenis sp. é aparentemente descrito pela primeira vez na selva amazônica, exigindo estudos adicionais para entender melhor os patógenos que são transmitidos no parasitismo desta pulga em roedores devido à sua importância no ecossistema e para a saúde pública.(AU)


The objective of this work was to map and describe the occurrence of rodents and their ectoparasites in regions to the North of the department of La Paz in Bolivia. From April to May and July to August 2017, 80 Oligoryzomys microtis rodents were captured and 36 random samples of their ectoparasites were analyzed, totaling 458 ectoparasites. Rodents were captured in two types of environments: secondary forest and crops areas, being the second one with greater amount of capture of rodents. Among the ectoparasites, Laelaps sp was the genus with the highest abundance and Mysolaelaps sp with the highest prevalence; the genus Polygenis sp is apparently described for the first time in the Amazon rainforest, requiring more studies to better understand the pathogens transmitted in the parasitism of this flea in rodents due to their importance in the ecosystem and public health.(AU)

Abstract: Introduction: It is essential that orthopaedic resident physicians be highly proficient in all aspects, considering the balance between supply, demand, need and context. Fundamental to identify the capacity and quality installed for their training in Mexico. Material and methods: Observational Study, transverse, non-probabilistic sampling-conglomerates, in two phases. The instrument has 8 domains, 57 variables and 4,867 items. 60 graduate professors of 20 states, 50 hospital sites, 22 university programs. Results: 1,038 years of experience (collective intelligence), 17 years of experience/teacher (01 to 50 years). Identified: acute pathology 30 (2 to 90%), chronic pathology 30 (5 to 96%), patients ˂ 15 years, 10 (3 to 30%), patients between 15 and 65 years, 47 (2 to 78%), patients ˃ 65 years, 20 (2 to 60%), number of beds/seat 20 (2 to 510), number of clinics 3 (1 to 48), number of surgical procedures/headquarters per year at the national level, was 960 (50 to 24,650). The national average per resident doctor is 362 surgeries/year with 1,450 surgical times/year. Conclusions: The needs and resources for the training of physicians specializing in orthopedics/traumatology are highly heterogeneous, so it should be adapted to the epidemiological needs of the region of influence, in an area of epidemiological transition. 62.2% expressed not having or have bad academic and scientific infrastructure at its headquarters, more than 50% without rotation overseas and ˃ 90% without regular scientific production.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To assess the agreement in the white-to-white (WTW) measurement with two different devices, the reproducibility and the probability of confusing sizing (PCS) in selecting a different implantable collamer lens (ICL). Study Design: Retrospective observational case series. Methods: Images of 192 eyes were captured with both devices. The WTW was measured automatically (OA) and manually (OM) with the Orbscan and Keratograph (KA and KM) by one examiner who repeated a total of four measures. A second examiner conducted a single manual measure for each device over the same image. The ICL sizing was computed for each measure of WTW and the PCS was calculated as the percentage of cases for which the confronted or repeated measure resulted in a different size of the ICL. The critical WTWs with highest PCS were identified. Results: KM overestimated the WTW versus OM in 0.13 ± 0.18 mm (P < 0.001) but not in the automated method comparison, 0.01 ± 0.19 mm (P = 0.58). Inter-examiner reproducibility (R) was higher with OM than with KM, and the intra-examiner R decreased with the average of two measures in both cases. The PCS was higher with the increase of mean differences, the limits of agreement (LoAs), and R. WTWs from 11.1 to 11.2 mm, 11.6 to 11.7 mm, and 12.3 to 12.4 mm resulted in higher PCS. Conclusion: The mean difference is not enough to apply conversions between devices and the LoAs and R should be considered. Special attention should be taken for WTWs with higher PCS.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Antecedentes: En nuestro país la prevalencia de diabetes tipo 2 (DT2) y de factores de riesgo cardiovascular (FRCV) aumenta continuamente. Aunque el fenómeno se acompaña de adopción de estilos de vida no saludable que facilitan dicho crecimiento, es escasa la implementación de estrategias que puedan modificar la situación. Objetivo: Revisar la evidencia disponible sobre la magnitud del problema de la diabetes y los FRCV en nuestro país, su posible relación con la práctica de actividad física y potencial mecanismo de acción. Metodología: Evaluación de datos de la tercera Encuesta Nacional de Factores de Riesgo (ENFR) e información referida a factores que contribuyen al crecimiento de la prevalencia de DT2. Igualmente estrategias exitosas utilizadas a nivel mundial para su prevención. Resultados: El índice de masa corporal registrado en la población estudiada muestra un aumento del porcentaje de personas con sobrepeso/obesidad inverso a la práctica de actividad física. Igualmente los resultados de las pruebas de tolerancia a la glucosa oral muestran que sus alteraciones (prediabetes/diabetes) son menores entre quienes realizaban actividad física. El porcentaje de personas con valores de presión arterial dentro del rango normal al igual que de colesterol circulante (según valores meta de guías internacionales), es también significativamente menor entre quienes practicaban actividad física. Conclusión: La evidencia presentada demuestra objetivamente la necesidad/ventajas de implementar un programa de prevención primaria de diabetes a gran escala a nivel nacional para disminuir su crecimiento y la pertinencia de incluir la práctica de actividad física como estrategia de prevención tal como propone el PPDBA.


ABSTRACT Background: In our country, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (DT2) and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) increases continuously. Although the phenomenon is accompanied by the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles that facilitate such growth, there is little implementation of strategies that can modify the situation. Objective: To review the available evidence on the magnitude of the problem of diabetes and CVRF in our country, its possible relationship with the practice of physical activity and potential mechanism of action. Methodology: Evaluation of data from the Third National Survey of Risk Factors (ENFR) and information referred to factors that promote the prevalence growth of T2D. Additionally, successful strategies have been used worldwide for its prevention. Results: The body mass index registered in the studied population shows an increase in the percentage of people with overweight/obesity inverse to the practice of physical activity. Likewise, the results of the oral glucose tolerance tests show that their alterations (prediabetes/ diabetes) are lower among those who performed physical activity. The percentage of people with blood pressure values within the normal range as well as circulating cholesterol (according to target values of international guidelines), is also significantly lower among those who practiced physical activity. Conclusion: The presented evidence objectively demonstrates the need/advantages of implementing a large-scale diabetes primary prevention program at the national level to.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivos Analizar: 1) el perfil lipídico en personas con glucemia de ayunas alterada (GAA) y 2) su posible asociación con parámetros clínico-metabólicos. Material y métodos Se reclutaron 101 personas de ambos sexos asistentes a consultorios de la Carrera Universitaria de Medicina Interna UNLP, incluyéndose personas >15 años que firmaron consentimiento informado para participar en el estudio; se excluyeron aquellos tratados con fármacos que afectaran el metabolismo lipídico y con diabetes tipo 2. En ellos se registraron antecedentes personales, heredofamiliares, hábitos de vida y ocurrencia de eventos cardiovasculares previos, índice de masa corporal (IMC), circunferencia de cintura (CC) y tensión arterial. En muestras de sangre se determinó glucemia, HbA1c y perfil lipídico; en la mayoría se agregó insulinemia e índice HOMA-IR. La evaluación estadística incluyó ANOVA y test de Tukey, considerándose significativas diferencias con valor de p ≤0,05. Resultados: 67,32% de los participantes presentaron glucemias ≤100 mg/dl (grupo control) y el 32,67% disglucemias compatibles con el estado de GAA. La edad promedio, el IMC y la CC, los valores de HbA1c, insulina y HOMA-IR al igual que el porcentaje de personas con hipertensión arterial fueron significativamente mayores en este último grupo. Los valores del perfil lipídico registrados fueron mayores en el grupo de GAA excepto el c-HDL en el que fueron menores. Conclusión La dislipemia presente en personas con GAA sería simultáneamente un marcador de ateroesclerosis obliterante y un promotor de la transición a DT2, por lo que requiere su diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz.


ABSTRACT Aims To analyze: 1) the lipid profile in people with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and 2) its potential association with clinical and metabolic parameters. Materials and methods: 101 people were recruited from those attending the University of Internal Medicine UNLP clinic, including people of both sexes, >15 years who sign informed consent to participate in the study; those treated with drugs that affect lipid metabolism and with type 2 diabetes were excluded. In all of them had we recoded body mass index (BMI), abdominal circumference (AC) and blood pressure. Their personal history, inherited relatives, life habits and occurrence of cardiovascular events were also recorded. In their blood samples, blood glucose, HbA1c and lipid profile were measured as well as insulin and HOMA-IR index in most of them. Statistical evaluation included ANOVA and Tukey's test; significant differences were considered when their p value was ≤0.05. Results 67.32% of the participants presented glycemias ≤100 mg/dl (control group) and 32.67% values compatible with IFG status. Mean age, BMI and WC, HbA1c, insulin and HOMA-IR values, as well as the percentage of people with hypertension, were significantly higher in the latter group. The values of the lipid profile recorded were higher in the GAA group except the HDL-c in which they were lower. Conclusion Since the dyslipidemia present in people with IFG would simultaneously be a marker of atherosclerosis obliterans and a promoter of the transition to DT2, it requires its early diagnosis and treatment.

ABSTRACT

El feocromocitoma constituye una neoplasia productora de catecolaminas que se presenta de forma esporádica o asociada a enfermedades de transmisión hereditaria, como la neoplasia endocrina múltiple. Los síntomas clásicos como la cefalea, sudoración y palpitaciones son atribuidos a la actividad del sistema nervioso simpático y suelen presentarse en forma de paroxismos. La tuberculosis pulmonar es una enfermedad infecciosa que constituye un problema de salud pública en muchos países, cuya incidencia depende de algunos factores incluyendo la inmunosupresión que generan las enfermedades endocrino-tumorales como la antes descrita. Presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 38 años que acude a emergencia por presentar un paroxismo de hipertensión arterial y dolor abdominal, como manifestaciones iniciales de un feocromocitoma en el contexto de una neoplasia endocrina múltiple de tipo IIA. El paciente desarrolló de forma concomitante tuberculosis pulmonar; no obstante, se logró tratar ambas entidades consiguiendo una evolución clínica favorable.


Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-producing neoplasm that may occur sporadically or associated with hereditary diseases, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia. The classic symptoms are headache, sweating, and palpitations and are attributed to the sympathetic nervous system activity, usually presenting as paroxysms. On the other hand, pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease considered a public health problem in many countries, whose incidence depends on risk factors such as immunosuppression. It is well known that endocrine-tumor diseases such as multiple endocrine neoplasia can predispose to chronic inflammation and immunosuppression. We report the case of a 38-year-old male patient who had an episode of arterial hypertension and abdominal pain as the first symptoms of a pheochromocytoma associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A. The patient developed pulmonary tuberculosis simultaneously, but we managed to treat both entities and achieve a favorable clinical course.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Antecedentes: La «artrólisis¼ abierta ha sido el tratamiento estándar en la rigidez de codo, con buenos resultados; sin embargo, las complicaciones asociadas y los avances en la cirugía artroscópica han permitido incorporar esta técnica quirúrgica. Material y métodos: Entre Enero de 2014 y Marzo de 2016, seis pacientes con rigidez postraumática de codo fueron intervenidos mediante cirugía artroscópica por el mismo equipo quirúrgico. Se registró pre- y postoperatoriamente, el nivel de dolor según escala analógica visual numérica, rango de movilidad articular del codo con el uso de un goniómetro y cuestionario Mayo Elbow Performance Index. Resultados: El seguimiento medio de los pacientes fue de 14.5 meses. El valor medio en la escala analógica visual disminuyó de 4.5 a 0.3 puntos. El rango medio de movilidad del codo se incrementó de 55.3o a 130o, con una ganancia media de 75o. La puntuación media en el cuestionario MEPI pasó de 46.6 puntos a 95 puntos, con una ganancia media de 48.4 puntos. Como procedimientos asociados a la «artrólisis¼ artroscópica se realizó extracción del material de síntesis en las tres fracturas de olécranon. No hubo ningún caso de osificación heterotópica, infección superficial o neuropatía cubital. Ningún paciente precisó reintervención quirúrgica para una nueva «artrólisis¼ artroscópica o abierta. Conclusiones: La liberación artroscópica en la rigidez postraumática de codo es una técnica efectiva a corto plazo para recuperar la movilidad.


Abstract: Background: Open «arthrolysis¼ has been the standard treatment for elbow stiffness, with good results. However, the associated complications of open arthrolysis and the advancements in arthroscopic surgery have allowed including the latter as an additional approach. Material and methods: Between January 2014 and March 2016, 6 patients with posttraumatic elbow stiffness underwent arthroscopic surgery by the same surgical team. Pre- and post-operative assessment included pain with a numerical visual analogue scale, elbow joint range of motion with a goniometer and the Mayo Elbow Performance Index questionnaire. Results: Mean patient follow-up was 14.5 months. The mean VAS score decreased from 4.5 to 0.3. The mean elbow range of motion increased from 55.3o to 130o, with a mean gain of 75o. The mean MEPI questionnaire score went from 46.6 to 95, with a mean gain of 48.4 points. The procedures associated with arthroscopic «arthrolysis¼ included removal of the synthesis material from the 3 olecranon fractures. No cases of heterotopic ossification, superficial infection or ulnar neuropathy were reported. None of the patients required surgical reintervention to perform a new «arthrolysis¼, whether arthroscopic or open. Conclusions: Arthroscopic release to treat posttraumatic elbow stiffness is an effective technique to restore mobility in the short term.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Comparar las condiciones de salud bucal de niños en relación con aspectos socio-demográficos-culturales maternos y perinatales. MÉTODOS: Se realizó examen clínico odontológico a 92 niños ≤3 años, concurrentes a la Clínica Odontológica de la Facultad de Odontología, UNC Córdoba-Argentina (n=32) y a la Clínica del Bebé, Facultad Odontología, UFRG Porto Alegre-Brasil (n=60). Las madres dieron consentimiento informado por escrito. Se aplicó una entrevista semiestructurada diseñada ad-hoc, a las madres o acompañantes del niño, para indagar aspectos socio-demográficos-culturales, hábitos de higiene bucal, gestación, dieta, tipo de parto y lactancia. Se aplicó Chi2 de Pearson y Fisher para evaluar la significación (p<0,05) de las diferencias entre cohortes. La importancia de diversos factores en relación a experiencia de caries y cohorte, se evaluó aplicando regresión logística binaria. RESULTADOS: El motivo de consulta resultó significativamente diferente entre cohortes, 100% preventivo en Argentina frente 8,3% en Brasil (p<0,001), igualmente al considerar la experiencia de caries (p<0,05). El modelo de regresión logística binaria mostró que las variables cohorte y libre de caries resultaron los factores más significativamente asociados a la experiencia de caries. Nivel de estudios de la madre bajo, dieta cariogénica del bebé y tipo de parto indicaron mayor riesgo cariogénico. Respecto a las cohortes se destacaron como estadísticamente significativos, higiene, edad, dieta del bebé y tipo de parto. CONCLUSIÓN: El nivel de instrucción de la madre y la dieta cariogénica del bebé muestran mayor riesgo de actividad de caries para ambas cohortes. Higiene bucal, dieta del bebé y tipo de parto se diferencian significativamente entre las cohortes


Objective: To compare the oral health condition of children in relation to social, demographic and cultural maternal and perinatal aspects. Methods: Dental clinical examinations were performed on 92 children aged ≤3. They attended the Dental Clinic of the School of Dentistry, UNC Córdoba, Argentina (n=32), and the Infant Clinic, School of Dentistry, UFRG Porto Alegre-Brazil (n=60). The mothers signed a written informed consent. A semi-structured interview designed ad hoc was conducted with mothers or companions of the child to consider social, demographic and cultural aspects, oral hygiene habits, gestation, diet and type of delivery and lactation. Pearson-Fisher Chi2 test was applied to evaluate the significance (p <0.05) differences between cohorts. The importance of various factors in relation to caries experience and cohort was evaluated using binary logistic regression. Results: The reason why patients seek consultation was significantly different between cohorts: 100% preventive in Argentina versus 8.3% in Brazil (p <0.001), also considering caries experience (p <0.05). The binary logistic regression model showed that cohort and caries-free variables were the factors most significantly associated with caries experience. Mother's low educational level, cariogenic diet in the baby and type of delivery indicate greater cariogenic risk. Regarding cohorts, the following factors appear as statistically significant: hygiene, age, baby's diet and type of delivery. Conclusion: Mothers' educational level and the baby's cariogenic diet show increased risk of caries activity for both cohorts. Oral hygiene, baby's diet and type of delivery differ significantly between cohorts.

ABSTRACT

As plantas forrageiras tropicais apresentam alto potencial de produção de massa de forragem, condicionada às condições edafoclimáticas, principalmente à adubação nitrogenada. A magnitude da resposta depende do sincronismo entre a disponibilidade de nutrientes e as necessidades da planta forrageira na rebrotação, e os resultados encontrados na literatura são contrastantes. Assim, este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar características estruturais e bromatológicas de Panicum maximum Jacq cv. Massai submetido a quatro doses de nitrogênio (0, 40, 80 e 120mg/dm3) e três momentos de aplicação após o corte (um, três e sete dias), divididos em três cortes, em um esquema fatorial 4 x 3 e delineado inteiramente ao acaso, com quatro repetições. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação. O incremento na taxa de aparecimento de perfilhos, na densidade populacional de perfilhos, na produção de massa seca de folha total e nos teores de proteína bruta foi de 42%, 65%, 770% e 35%, respectivamente, para a dose de 120mg/dm³ em relação à ausência de adubação nitrogenada. As fibras em detergente neutro e em detergente ácido decresceram cerca de 6% e 9%, respectivamente, com a adição de nitrogênio. Apenas a massa seca de folha total respondeu às épocas de aplicação de nitrogênio após o corte, com valores pouco expressivos. A adubação nitrogenada exerce efeito positivo sobre as variáveis estudadas, porém novos estudos devem ser conduzidos para a definição da época de adubação de nitrogênio após o corte, para a melhor utilização do nutriente pelas plantas.(AU)


Tropical forage plants have a high potential for mass production of fodder, subject to soil and climatic conditions, especially with nitrogen fertilization. The magnitude of the response depends on the timing of availability of nutrients and forage plant needs in the regrowth. Thus, this work was carried out to evaluate structural and bromatologic characteristics of the Panicum maximum Jacq cv. Massai in response to four nitrogen doses (0, 40, 80 and 120mg/dm3) and with three application times after cutting (one, three and seven days) in a 4 x 3 factorial treatment combination, in a completely randomized design, with four replicates. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse. The increase in the rate of tillering, tiller population density, dry mass total leaf production and crude protein levels was 42%, 65%, 770% and 35%, respectively for the dose of 120mg / dm³ regarding the absence of fertilization. The neutral detergent and acid detergent fibers showed a decrease of 6% and 9% with nitrogen addition. Dry mass total leaf production responded to times of nitrogen application after cutting, with little significant values. Nitrogen fertilization has a positive effect on the variables studied, but new studies should be conducted to define the timing of nitrogen fertilization after cutting, for better utilization of this nutrient by plants.(AU)

ABSTRACT

El tumor fibromixoma lipoesclerosante óseo (TFMLE) fue descrito inicialmente por Ragsdale en 1986, como una lesión fibroósea polimórfica de hueso con una mezcla de elementos histológicos incluyendo lipoma, fibroxantoma, mixoma, mixofibroma, necrosis grasa, osificación isquémica, áreas de displasia fibrosa y rara vez cartílago o cambios quísticos. La localización más frecuentemente descrita es en la región intertrocantérica del fémur. Es un hallazgo en pacientes asintomáticos o bien estar asociado a fractura. Radiológicamente es una lesión lítica, geográfica, de margen bien definido y habitualmente esclerótico, en algunos casos puede observarse mineralización en el interior de la lesión o un cierto grado de expansión en el contorno. Se ha descrito la estrecha relación del TFMLE con la displasia fibrosa por las características histológicas y la presencia de una mutación Gsα, otra hipótesis de la etiología de la lesión incluye la reacción de la displasia fibrosa a la fatiga por estrés.


The bone liposclerosing myxofibrous tumor (LSMFT) was initially described by Ragsdale in 1986 as a polymorphic fibroosseous bone lesion with a mix of histologic elements that include lipoma, fibroxanthoma, myxoma, myxofibroma, fat necrosis, ischemic ossification, areas of fibrous dysplasia, and infrequent presence of cartilage or cystic changes. The most frequently reported location is the intertrochanteric area of the femur. Radiologically it is a lytic, geographic lesion, with well-defined margins and usually sclerotic. In some cases findings include mineralization inside the lesion or a certain degree of expansion to the contour. The close relationship between LSMFT and fibrous dysplasia has been described based on the histologic characteristics and the presence of the Gsα mutation. Another hypothesis of the etiology of the lesion is the reaction of fibrous dysplasia to stress.

ABSTRACT

Se determinó en dos estudios la relación entre la connotación emocional negativa y la memorización de la información espacial. El propósito fue demostrar que un estímulo emocional negativo podría provocar una reacción que facilitara la integración de los elementos en memoria, como sus características y propiedades viso-espaciales. 76 estudiantes universitarios participaron de estos dos estudios. Durante el primero, se realizó una tarea de denominación. El plan experimental se componía de un factor de grupo y uno de inducción. Fue utilizado el test X2. No se encontró un efecto facilitador de la emoción sobre la integración de los datos perceptivos. El segundo estudio era una tarea de reconocimiento de la estructura espacial. Tres variables independientes fueron parte del estudio (La inducción, la complejidad y la replicación). Se observó que los desempeños no fueron significativamente mejores después de una simulación emocional negativa que después de una simulación neutra o ausente.


Two studies were realized to determine the relationship between the emotional negative connotation and the memorization of the spatial information. The purpose was to prove that a negative emotional stimulus could trigger a reaction that would facilitate the integration of elements in the memory, elements such as visual-spatial characteristics. 76 university students participated in the two studies. During the first study, a denomination task was performed. The experimental plan had two variables: a group variable and an induction variable. It was found that there is no facilitator effect in the emotion over the integration of the perceptive data. The second study was a recognition task of a spatial structure. Three independent variables were part of the study (induction, complexity, and replication). It was observed that the performances in both studies were not significantly better after a negative emotional simulation than after a neutral or absent simulation.
