ABSTRACT

El molusco contagioso es una patología viral benigna muy frecuente, exclusiva del ser humano, y causada por un virus no clasificado del grupo de los Poxvirus. Las manifestaciones clínicas de la enfermedad inclu-yen lesiones en la piel, que pueden variar desde una pequeña pápula a un nódulo de mayor tamaño, pre-sentándose en forma solitaria o múltiple, dependien-do del estado inmunitario del paciente y del tiempo de evolución del proceso morboso. El estudio histo-patológico es importante para el diagnóstico, aunque en numerosas ocasiones éste se define clínicamen-te. Además del patrón histológico tradicional, y más frecuente, que exhibe hiperplasia e hipertrofia de la epidermis, se han descripto variantes poco usuales, cuyas características dependen, entre otros factores, de la sobreinfección y de la respuesta inmunitaria del paciente. En este trabajo se describen los rasgos ge-nerales del molusco contagioso y luego se presentan varios casos clínicos, uno de los cuales exhibe ma-nifestación inusual en la semimucosa del labio. Por último, se realizan comentarios referentes a la im-portancia que tiene para el odontólogo conocer esta patología y estar capacitado para detectarla, de modo de evitar sus complicaciones y su diseminación (AU)


Molluscum contagiosum is a very common benign viral pathologythat affects exclusively humans and is caused by an unclassified virus of the Poxvirus family. Clinical manifestations include skin lesions such as papule or nodule, which may range from a small papule to a larger nodule, presenting either solitary or multiple, depending on the immune status of the patient and the time of evolution of the morbid process. Histopathological study is important for the diagnosis, although in numerous occasions it is defined clinically. Classical and more frequent histology pattern exhibits hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the epidermis; however, distinct characteristics may occur depending on factors like superinfection and immune response of patients. This article describes general aspects of molluscum contagiosum and exposes several clinical cases, one of which exhibits an unusual manifestation in the semimucosa of the lip. Finally, comments are made regarding the importance for dentists to learn about the existence of this pathology and be able to recognize it in order to avoid its complications and spread (AU)

ABSTRACT

La tiroides ectópica lingual es una patología muy poco frecuente, producida por la detención en el descenso normal de la glándula durante el desarrollo embrio-nario. La localización lingual de tejido tiroideo es la más común entre las tiroides ectópicas o aberrantes. Esta enfermedad puede ser asintomática pero, cuan-do los signos y síntomas están presentes, guardan estrecha correlación con la localización de la lesión y son proporcionales a su tamaño. El diagnóstico debe realizarse clínicamente y con el complemento de es-tudios por imágenes y endocrinológicos. En los aná-lisis de laboratorio se debe incluir dosaje de las hor-monas TSH, T4 libre y T3, vinculadas con la función tiroidea. Las biopsias deben evitarse ya que causan desequilibrio en la producción hormonal de la glándu-la y peligro de profusas hemorragias. En este artículo se desarrolla una descripción de las generalidades de la tiroides ectópica lingual, y se presenta un caso clínico de un niño con un tumor lingual, que fue deri-vado por su médica pediatra a cirugía para realizar una biopsia. Asimismo, se comenta la importancia que tiene para el odontólogo conocer esta patología a fin de poder evitar sus posibles complicaciones (AU)


Lingual thyroid is a rare disorder produced by a failure in the descent of thyroid gland to its normal position during embryological development. Lingual localization of thyroid tissue is the most common among the ectopic or aberrant thyroids. This condition can be asymptomatic, although when symptoms take place, they are connected to the lesion location and depend on its size. Diagnosis should be made clinically and complemented with imaging and endocrine studies. Laboratory analysis must include dosage of TSH, free T4 and T3, thyroid function-linked hormones. Due to the possible imbalance in the gland hormone production and the risk of massive bleeding, biopsy should be avoided. In this article, a brief description of lingual ectopic thyroid generalities is developed and a clinical case of a 7-years old child is provided. Additionally, dentistry importance of knowing this condition is commented, in order to prevent its possible complications (AU)

ABSTRACT

The search for new treatments against malaria has a highpriority in the fight to bring this disease under control. The aim of this study was to assess the therapeutic potential of extracts of plants selected on the basis of ethnobotanical information collected from Cuban traditional medicine. Extracts from six plants (Bambusavulgaris, Parthenium hysterophorus, Melaleuca leucadendron, Indigofera suffruticosa, Artemisia absinthium, Simarouba glauca) were tested for their invitro effect against the F32/Tanzania strain ofPlasmodium falciparum. S. glauca, P. hysterophorus, M.leucadendron and A. absinthium exhibited minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in the range from 3.1to 50 g/mL, while B. vulgaris and I. suffruticosa showed negative activity against this strain. The highest in vivo activities against Plasmodium berghei NK65 were shownby A. absinthium, with a 65.9% reduction in parasitemia at a dose of 500 mg/kg, M. leucadendron, with 50%reduction at 250 mg/kg, and S. glauca, with 43.2%reduction at 100 mg/kg. The less toxic extracts wereA. absinthium and M. leucadendron. These results demonstrate the antimalarial properties of some Cuban medicinal plants and pave the way to detailed researchon their active chemical constituents.
