ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La tuberculosis con afección del sistema nervioso central es una afectación infrecuente pero muy grave de esta enfermedad, representa el 1% de todos los casos de tuberculosis. Reportamos el caso de una joven HIV negativa, con daño del sistema nervioso central de tipo miliar a nivel cerebral y sin enfermedad pulmonar. La tuberculosis puede afectar extensamente a sujetos inmunocompetentes y este fenómeno ha sido descripto en muchas series a los largo del tiempo. Ante la sospecha clínica, el seguimiento de un protocolo específico para confirmar el diagnóstico es de vital importancia para el temprano diagnóstico y correcto manejo de una situación que puede comprometer la vida y generar a largo plazo secuelas graves. Se presenta el caso por el reto diagnóstico que ha supuesto y rara presentación en paciente inmunocompetente.


ABSTRACT Tuberculosis with central nervous system involvement is an uncommon but very serious disease, with a frecuence of 1% of all cases of tuberculosis. We report the case of a young HIV negative woman, with central nervous system damage of the miliary type in the brain without lung disease. Tuberculosis can extensively affect immunecompetent subjects and this phenomenon has been described in many series over the time. In the presence of clinical suspicion, the follow-up of a specific protocol to confirm the diagnosis is of vital importance for the early diagnosis and correct management of a situation that can compromise life and generate long-term serious sequelae. The case is presented because of diagnostic challenge and a rare presentation in an immunocompetent patient.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue la adaptación al idioma español y validación estadística de la Escala de Percepción de Apoyo Social (EPAS). Se eligió esta escala por sus propiedades métricas y adecuación en la construcción. Su estructura teórica es coherente con el tipo de resultados e investigación en el ámbito internacional. Mediante el análisis de los resultados se mostraron algunas diferencias respecto a la versión inglesa ûmenos ítems en esta investigaciónû, debido probablemente a contrastes de carácter cultural. Sin embargo, no puede descartarse otro tipo de variables. El valor relativo de la presente adaptación podrá ser evaluado mediante estudios de carácter empírico que den cuenta del constructo de apoyo social tal y como se define, y en concordancia con el marco teórico de construcción de la escala en mención...


The objective of this research was the adaptation to the Spanish language and statistical validation of Scale of Perceived Social Support (SPSS). This scale was chosen because by its metric properties and adequacy in the construction. Its theoretical structure is consistent with the type of findings and research on the international area. The analysis of the results showed some differences with regard to the English version -less items in our study- probably due to cultural contrasts. However, another type of variables cannot be ruled out. The relative value of this adaptation maybe evaluated by empirical studies that realize the construct of social support as defined, and in agreement with the theoretical framework for construction of the scale in question...

ABSTRACT

El sobrepeso y la obesidad representan serios problemas de salud pública. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y correlacional de variables asociadas al sobrepeso y la obesidad en preadolescentes mexicanos escolarizados en México DF. Se valoró la Autoestima general (LAWSEQ, por sus siglas en inglés), Autoestima corporal (BES, por sus siglas en inglés), Actitudes hacia la alimentación (ChEAT, por sus siglas en iglés) e Imagen corporal (BIA, por sus siglas en inglés) y comparaciones por género y edad. La muestra fue de 600 alumnos, niños y niñas de entre nueve y doce años. Se encontró una baja autoestima general (más baja en las niñas y en los participantes de mayor edad) y corporal y una buena actitud hacia la alimentación. Los participantes se percibieron y creyeron ser vistos con sobrepeso y obesidad, pero a futuro e idealmente desearon figuras más delgadas. Se propone que los programas de prevención contemplen educación para la salud, actividad física, control de aspectos genéticos, actitudes funcionales (tendientes a una buena autoestima y actitudes positivas hacia la comida sana), e involucramiento de la familia y el entorno social.


Overweight and obesity are serious public health problems. A descriptive and correlational study of variables associated with overweight and obesity of Mexican school preadolescents in Mexico DF was performed. General self-esteem (LAWSEQ, for its English acronym), body esteem (BES, for its English acronym), Attitudes towards food (ChEAT, for its English acronym) and body image (BIA, for its English acronym) were assessed and comparisons by gender and age were drawn. The sample was formed by 600 students, boys and girls aged between nine and twelve. A general low self-esteem and body esteem (lower in girls and in older participants) as well as a good attitude toward eating were found. Participants perceived themselves and believed they were seen as overweight and obese but ideally they wanted thinner figures in the future. Prevention programs are proposed to include health education, physical activity, genetic control, functional attitudes (geared toward generating good self-esteem and positive attitudes toward healthy eating), as well as involvement of the family and social environment.

ABSTRACT

Shiitake Dermatitis is often presented as papules and erythemato-violaceous linear streaks. It can be associated with bleomycin treatment, dermatomyositis and shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes). There is not any previous report concerning this rare etiology in our country. Shiitake is the second most consumed mushroom worldwide and it can cause flagellate erythema when ingested raw or half cooked. It has a higher incidence in Oriental countries because of their eating habits, this is the first case reported in Brazil, in a male patient that presented a cutaneous rash after consuming this raw mushroom.


A dermatite flagelada é caracterizada por pápulas eritematosas lineares com aspecto de "chicotada". A etiologia pode ser associada ao uso de bleomicina, dermatomiosite e shiitake (Lentinus edodes). Este é o segundo cogumelo mais consumido no mundo e pode ser causa de dermatite flagelada quando ingerido cru ou mal cozido. Não há relatos nas literaturas de quadro de dermatite flagelada por shiitake em nosso país, reportamos o primeiro caso no Brasil de um paciente masculino que desenvolveu o quadro após a ingesta desse cogumelo cru.

ABSTRACT

Se supone que la exposición prolongada a material particuladoen el aire en los lugares donde se vive o trabaja puede afectarlas vías respiratorias. La provisión de evidencias localesen este sentido se hace necesaria para demandar medidasde control que busquen proteger la salud de las personas.Métodos: se estudia la morbilidad respiratoria en personasque habitan o trabajan en las zonas urbanas de Medellín(alta contaminación por material particulado, promedio dePM10 60 μg/m3) y se contrasta con la morbilidad respiratoriade una muestra comparable de habitantes de los municipiosdel oriente antioqueño (baja contaminación, promedio dePM10 30 μg/m3). Resultados: los grupos comparados sonsimilares respecto de las variables sociodemográficas y otrasvariables potencialmente confusoras. En las zonas urbanasde Medellín se registra un mayor riesgo de signos y síntomasrespiratorios con respecto al grupo control. La congestiónnasal, la dificultad respiratoria y la tos son los síntomas quese presentan en un mayor contraste con riesgos relativos de2,60 ic 95% (1,93, 3,62); 2,22 ic 95% (1,56, 3,15) y 2,14 ic95% (1,63, 2,81), respectivamente. Conclusión: los nivelesaltos de pm10 como indicador de la contaminación del aire en elentorno urbano donde viven y trabajan las personas contribuyea un riesgo mayor de enfermedad respiratoria, lo cual conllevaconsecuencias desfavorables en los campos económico ysocial. El control de tal situación constituye por lo tanto unimperativo social y laboral.


Introduction: it is assumed that prolonged exposure toairborne pollutants in the areas where people live or workcan affect their respiratory systems. In order to demand forcontrol measures aimed at protecting the community’s health,it is necessary to provide evidence for this claim. Methods: therespiratory morbidity of people living or working in urban areasof Medellín was analyzed (high particulate matter pollution.The average of PM10 is 60 μg/m3) and then compared withthe respiratory morbidity of a matched sample of inhabitantsliving in the municipalities located in eastern Antioquia (lowpollution. The average of PM10 is 30 μg/m3). Results: thegroups that were compared were similar with respect to sociodemographicand other potential confounding variables. Uponcomparing the two groups, a higher risk of respiratory signs and symptoms can be observed for subjects from the urban areas of Medellín. Nasal congestion, respiratory distress, and cough are the symptoms that occur in sharper contrast with relative risk of 2.60 95% CI (1.93, 3.62); 2.22 95% CI (1.56, 3.15) and 2.14 95% CI (1.63, 2.81) respectively. Conclusion: high pm10 levels as an indicator of air pollution in urban environments where people live and work contribute to a higher risk of respiratory disease. This implies adverse consequences both in economic and social terms. The control of such a situation hence becomes a social and professional priority Alteraciones neuropsicológicas en escolares de un municipio con niveles elevados de vapor de mercurio medioambiental, Colombia, 2008-2009.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: establecer la prevalencia de alteraciones neuropsicológicasen lenguaje, memoria, funciones ejecutivas yatención de los escolares entre segundo grado de primariay noveno grado de bachillerato del municipio de Segovia,Antioquia. Esta región, como producto de la minería artesanalde oro, tiene concentraciones ambientales de vapor demercurio que superan los valores límites permisibles. Metodología:se aplicaron la figura de Rey, la fluidez semántica yfonológica, los pares asociados, el token test, el test de Stroopy la subprueba de dígitos. Resultados: se encontró que el79,6% de los escolares presenta alteraciones en comprensióndel lenguaje; el 77,6%, en funciones ejecutivas; el 52,6%,en atención visual; el 43,9%, en fluidez verbal; el 38,8%, enla memoria verbal a corto plazo y el 31,1%, a largo plazo.Conclusión: estas prevalencias son alarmantes y plantean lanecesidad de realizar una intervención psicosocial efectivapara dar respuesta a este problema.


Objective: to establish the prevalence of neuropsychologicaldisorders in the language, memory, executive functions,and attention of schoolchildren studying from second gradeof elementary school to ninth grade of high school in theSegovia municipality. As a result of the artisanal miningof gold, this region shows environmental concentrations ofmercury vapor that exceed the prescribed exposure limits.Methodology: the Rey complex figure test, the phonologicaland semantic test (FAS), the associated pairs test, the tokentest, the Stroop test, and the digits subtest were all applied aspart of the protocol for assessing these functions. Results:79.6% of schoolchildren in Segovia presented alteration inlanguage comprehension; 77.6% in executive functioning;52.6% in visual attention; 43.9% in verbal fluency; 38.8%in short-term verbal memory, and 31.1% in long-term verbalmemory. Conclusion: the prevalence of these anomaliesamong schoolchildren in Segovia are alarming, therefore apsychosocial intervention is needed to respond effectively tosuch a problematic scenario.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: determinar la función pulmonar y las condiciones de exposición a material particulado producido por dos fábricas en 264 residentes en el corregimiento La Sierra del municipio de Puerto Nare, departamento de Antioquia, en el 2008. METODOLOGIA: se realizó espirometría y se aplicó un cuestionario de síntomas respiratorios. Se midieron el material particulado menor de 10 micrómetros (PM10), la temperatura, la humedad, la dirección del viento y la precipitación en 6 meses. RESULTADOS: 7,2% de las personas presentó el porcentaje del volumen espiratorio forzado (VEF) menor de 70%; 27,7% y 28% presentaron el volumen espiratorio forzado del primer segundo (VEF1) y la capacidad vital forzada (CVF) menor de 80%. El mayor número de personas evaluadas con el %VEF < 70% vive en los cuatro barrios vecinos a las empresas. Se encontró asociación estadística entre un índice de masa corporal mayor de 25 y CVF < de 80% (p < 0,0009), tiempo de residencia y CVF < de 80%. La concentración promedio de PM10 durante el periodo de los seis meses fue de 42,1 µg/m³. La más alta fue de 142,89 µg/ m³. CONCLUSION: un importante porcentaje de la población tiene alteraciones en la función respiratoria, principalmente, quienes viven cerca de las empresas en presencia de concentraciones de PM10, consideradas de riesgo. Este es un problema grave de salud pública en sus componentes ambiental, de salud y de equidad social que no se está interviniendo adecuadamente, lo cual, de hacerse, sería una intervención que podría configurar un modelo para implementar políticas de protección a la población en lo referente a la exposición a contaminación ambiental.


OBJECTIVE: to determine lung function and the conditions of exposure to particulate matter produced by two factories among 264 residents in the township of La Sierra, in Puerto Nare municipality of Antioquia, in 2008. METHODOLOGY: spirometries were performed and a questionnaire of respiratory symptoms was applied. Particulate matter smaller than 10 micrometters (PM10), temperature, humidity, wind direction and precipitation during six months were measured. RESULTS: 7.2% of the people showed the lowest percentage of forced expiratory volume (FEV) below 70%. A total amount of 27.7% and 28% had FEV1 and forced vital capacity (FVC) below 80%. The largest number of people tested with the % FEV <70% lives in the four neighboring districts nearby the factories. Statistical association was found between body mass index greater than 25 and FVC < 80% (p < 0.0009), residence time and FVC < 80%. The average concentration of PM10 during the six month period was 42.1 ug/m³ and the highest was 142.89 mg/m³. CONCLUSION: a significant percentage of the population has alterations in their respiratory function, mainly those living near the factories showing concentrations of PM10 which is considered a hazard. All this means a serious public health problem according to its environmental, health and social equity components all of which are not being properly operated. It requires an appropriate intervention that should become a model to implement policies to protect the population in terms of exposure to environmental pollution.

ABSTRACT

El síncope asociado con el ejercicio es una condición que debe alertar al médico tratante; en primera instancia, se descartan alteraciones estructurales cardiacas que predispongan a muerte súbita, y en segundo lugar se evalúa la presencia de arritmias que potencialmente causen esta condición. En pacientes mayores de 35 años se descartan la enfermedad coronaria y las valvulopatías como eventuales causas. En sujetos que entrenan de manera frecuente, el tono vagal aumentado es una condición adaptativa común que a veces puede causar síncope cardioinhibitorio asociado con el ejercicio, cuya presentación puede variar desde bradiarritmias hasta asistolia, por lo cual constituye un reto diagnóstico.


Exercise-induced syncope is a condition that should alert the treating physician; structural cardiac abnormalities that predispose to sudden death should be discarded, and the presence of arrhythmias that may potentially cause this condition are evaluated. In patients over 35 years, coronary and valvular disease are ruled-out as a possible cause of syncope associated with exercise. In subjects who train frequently, increased vagal tone is a common adaptive condition that may sometimes cause cardio-inhibitory syncope associated with exercise, whose presentation may vary from bradyarrhythmia to asystolia, thereby providing a diagnostic challenge.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: establecer el impacto de la rehabilitación cardiaca en pacientes con falla cardiaca de origen isquémico con fracción de eyección menor del 40% en términos de síntomas, a través de la percepción subjetiva de la escala de Borg, VO2, MET y distancia en millas antes y al finalizar la terapia de rehabilitación cardiovascular. DISEÑO: estudio de cohorte concurrente. POBLACIÓN: 224 pacientes que ingresaron al programa de rehabilitación cardiaca de La Fundación Clínica Abood Shaio en el periodo comprendido entre el 10 de diciembre de 2004 y el 2 de mayo de 2008. MEDICIONES: se revisó la base de datos de rehabilitación cardiaca clasificando los parámetros de actividad física al ingreso y al egreso de la terapia. RESULTADOS: en el impacto de la terapia de rehabilitación cardiaca al inicio, 63% de los pacientes se encontraba en las escalas uno y dos de Borg modificada, y al final 85% (p < 0,001) se ubicó en las escalas tres y cuatro; el VO2 al inicio fue de 7,79 y al final 19,04 (p < 0,001); los MET al inicio 2,22 y al final 5,44 (p < 0,001) y la distancia en millas por hora al inicio 1,33 y al final 2,58 (p < 0,001). CONCLUSIONES: se observó que la rehabilitación cardiaca tuvo un impacto significativo en los pacientes con falla cardiaca de origen isquémico con fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo menor a 40% en términos de percepción de síntomas en forma subjetiva en la escala de Borg, VO2 indirecto, MET y distancia en millas por hora.


OBJECTIVE: to establish the impact of heart rehabilitation in patients with heart failure of ischemic origin with ejection fraction <40% in terms of symptoms by subjective perception of the Borg scale, VO2, MET and distance in miles before and at the end of cardiovascular rehabilitation therapy. DESIGN: concurrent cohort study. POPULATION: 224 patients admitted to the Abood Shaio Clinic Foundation cardiac rehabilitation program in the period from December 10, 2004 to May 2, 2008. MEASUREMENTS: it was reviewed the database of cardiac rehabilitation classifying physical activity parameters on admission and at discharge from therapy. RESULTS: with regard to the impact of cardiac rehabilitation therapy at baseline, 63% of patients were in the modified one and two Borg scale and at the end, 85% of patients (p <0.001) was placed on the three and four scales; VO2 at baseline was 7.79 and to the end 19.04 (p <0.001); the METS at the beginning was 2.22 and at the end 5.44 (p <0.001) and distance in miles per hour at the beginning was 1, 33 and at the end 2.58 (p <0.001). CONCLUSIONS: it was found that cardiac rehabilitation had a significant impact in patients with ischemic heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction <40% in terms of subjective perception of symptoms in the Borg scale, indirect VO2, METS and distance in miles per hour.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo fue reconsiderar las propiedades métricas de la escala de modos de afrontamiento, a partir de: la comparación de los factores originales y los btenidos en este estudio; evolución de la estructura factorial para nuestros datos y comparación con la original; valoración de la fiabilidad de distintasestructuras factoriales; y, estimación de los niveles de predicción del afrontamiento y apoyo social respecto del estrés. La muestra fue de 250 participantes voluntarios. Los análisis factoriales, de fiabilidad y de regresión mostraron que no hay evidencia para considerar que la escala sea multidimensional y sí unidimensional. No existe sustento teórico que permita suponer la validez de conceptos teóricos o factores subyacentes en dicha escala, y los análisis empíricos así lo muestran. El nivel real de la escala, es de carácter general...


The objective was to reconsider the metric properties of the scale of ways of coping from: the comparison of the original factors and the obtained onesby us; to evaluate the factorial structure our data and to compare it with the original one; to value the reliability of different factorial structures and; toconsider the levels of prediction of the coping and social support respect to stress. The sample was 250 voluntary participants. The factorial analyses,of reliability and of regression showed that there is evidence no to consider that the scale is multidimensional and if one-dimensional. Theoreticalsustenance does not exist that allows to suppose the validity of theoretical concepts or underlying factors in this scale and the empirical analyses therefore show it. The real level of the scale is of general character...

ABSTRACT

El objetivo fue realizar un estudio en muestras de adolescentes que vivieran con sus familias y que no vivieran con ellas, en el cual se analizarán las variables de red y de alteración psicológica (depresión) y probar el valor relativo de las propiedades dinámicas de la red para describir y predecir alteración emocional. Participaron 61 adolescentes, 31 del reclusorio para menores infractores y 30 estudiantes. Los adolescentes recluidos muestran más depresión que los estudiantes y estos últimos obtuvieron puntajes más altos en el índice de relaciones familiares y en la calidad de red. Esto indica que cuando algún componente de la red social se ve alterado, hay más propensión a que se presenten problemas de alteración psicológica, como la depresión, lo que tiene impacto en las medidas de red social.


This work was to conduct a study with samples of adolescents. One sample was integrated by adolescents who lived with their families while in a second sample they didn't live with them. With regard to the social network and psychological alteration variables (depression) and to prove the relative value of the dynamic properties of the social network to describe and to predict emotional alteration. 61 adolescents participated, 31 were from the prison Readaptation and 30 were students. The confined adolescents showed more depression than student, and obtained higher scores in the Index of Family Relationships and in the Quality social network. The above-mentioned results suggest that when some component of the social network is altered, this fact generates problems of psychological alteration, such depression, and this has an impact in the measures of the social network.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: A Síndrome do cólon irritável (SCI) é um distúrbio funcional caracterizado por dor abdominal e mudança de hábito intestinal. .Observando que a Síndrome do ceco móvel (SCM) engloba sintomas que se superpõem aos da SCI, nossos objetivos, foram: a. demonstrar a relação de causa e efeito entre o ceco móvel e a SCI, b. avaliar os resultados da cecopexia, como método de tratamento de pacientes com síndrome do cólon irritável (SCI) ou com desconforto abdominal de etiologia desconhecida; e c. mostrar que o ceco móvel pode ser considerado como o primeiro marcador anatômico para a SCI. PACIENTES E MÉTODOS: De março de 1994 a abril de 2006, 123 pacientes, receberam o diagnóstico clínico de ceco móvel. Destes, 103 (83,7 por cento) vinham sendo acompanhados e medicados como pacientes com SCI e 20 (16 por cento) vinham sendo tratados por outras doenças, Todos os pacientes desta série foram programados para cecopexia; contudo, 30 recusaram e estão sendo observados, 93 concordaram com o tratamento cirúrgico proposto. Sessenta e quatro foram operados e 29 aguardam cirurgia. RESULTADOS: Todos os pacientes operados (64/52 por cento) foram acompanhados no pós-operatório, de 2 a 139 meses (média de 21 meses; dp= 23) e estão assintomáticos. Entre 58 mulheres operadas, 48 (82,7 por cento) responderam inquérito sobre dispareunia; entre essas, 44 (92 por cento) tinham dispareunia profunda. Após o tratamento cirúrgico, 89,7 por cento participaram do inquérito; 52 (96 por cento) estão assintomáticas. Os pacientes não operados (59/48 por cento) foram, da mesma forma, acompanhados de 2 até 72 meses e apresentavam os mesmos sintomas. CONCLUSÃO: Há nítida superposição de sintomas entre SCI e SCM; por isso recomendamos que: 1. a ênfase que se tem dado à SCI seja revista; 2. os pacientes com sintomas intestinais funcionais, quer sejam os atribuíveis à SCI, quer sejam os de causas não esclarecidas, e os pacientes com dispareunia de etiologia obscura devem ser investigados como prováveis...


PURPOSE: Based on the observation that the mobile cecum syndrome (MCS) includes symptoms which overlap symptoms of the IBS, our purposes were: to demonstrate the relationship of cause and effect between the mobile cecum and IBS; to evaluate the result of the cecopexia, as method of patients' treatment with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or with abdominal discomfort of ignored etiology; and to show that the mobile cecum can be considered as the first anatomical marker for IBS. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 1994 to 2006, 123 patients (109 women and 14 men - median age, 37,7 - ranged 3 to 82) seen in private office had clinical diagnosis of mobile cecum; 103 patients (83,7 percent) had been seen as having irritable bowel syndrome. All patients of this series were programmed for cecopexy. Thirty refused the surgical treatment and 29 are waiting for suitable surgery; both are on clinical follow-up in private office RESULTS: All operated patients (64/52 percent) with fixed cecum followed from 1 to 139 months (median, 21) are well and asymptomatic Among the 58 operated women, 48 (82,7 percent) answered the inquiry about dispareunia; 44(92 percent) had dispareunia. After surgical treatment 89,7 percent have participated of the inquiry; 52 (96 percent) were without symptoms. The non-operated patients (59/48 percent) followed from 1 to 72 months (median, 16) are with the same complain. CONCLUSION: Based on the results, we conclude that: the topographical investigation of the cecum-ascendent should be made for all the patients with diagnosis of IBS or with functional obscure abdominal symptoms; the patients of that serie with IBS had mobile cecum and they were cured with cecopexy; there is a relationship of cause and effect between mobile cecum and IBS; the mobile cecum can be pointed as the first anatomical marker for SCI; the mobile cecum can be considered as cause of deep dispareunia.
