ABSTRACT

Introducción. La ingestión accidental de cuerpos extraños como espinas de pescado es muy poco frecuente; en ocasiones, pueden alojarse en el esófago y es posible su migración extraluminal. Este accidente se presenta principalmente en países asiáticos por el gran consumo de pescado. La migración extraluminal de una espina de pescado desde el esófago a la glándula tiroides es aún más infrecuente, con pocos reportes en la literatura.Objetivo. Presentar nuestra experiencia en el diagnóstico y manejo quirúrgico de un paciente con un cuerpo extraño (espina de pescado) alojado en la glándula tiroides y, asimismo, hacer una revisión de la literatura científica.Caso clínico. Se presenta una paciente de 53 años, sin antecedentes de importancia y con un cuadro clínico de tres meses de evolución consistente en odinofagia posterior a la ingestión accidental de una espina de pescado. En la ecografía practicada en otra institución se observó un cuerpo extraño alojado en el lóbulo tiroideo izquierdo en relación con la musculatura del esófago. En la tomografía de cabeza y cuello se apreciaba una imagen hiperdensa lineal de 2,6 cm de longitud en la misma localización. En la exploración quirúrgica se encontró tejido fibrótico en la región posterior del lóbulo tiroideo izquierdo y se procedió a practicar una tiroidectomía subtotal izquierda. La evolución posoperatoria fue adecuada.Conclusiones. La migración extraluminal de cuerpos extraños en el tubo digestivo es factible, sobre todo la de las espinas de pescado por su morfología. La tomografía es la herramienta diagnóstica más confiable para detectar cuerpos extraños alojados en la glándula tiroides. Es necesario conocer las posibles complicaciones y, asimismo, optimizar las posibles intervenciones, pues de eso depende el pronóstico clínico del paciente


Introduction: Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies such as fish bones is very rare; sometimes they may lodge in the esophagus, and extraluminal migration is possible. This accident occurs mainly in Asian countries due to the large fish consumption. Extraluminal migration of a fish bone from the esophagus to the thyroid gland is even more infrequent, with few reports in the literature.Objective: To present our experience in the diagnosis and surgical management of a patient with a foreign body (fish bone) lodged in the thyroid gland and to review the scientific literature.Clinical Case: A 53-year-old patient is presented, without a significant history and with a clinical picture of three months of evolution consisting of odynophagia after accidental ingestion of a fish bone. In the ultrasound performed at another institution, a foreign body was observed lodged in the left thyroid lobe in relation to the musculature of the esophagus. Head and neck tomography showed a linear 2.6 cm long hyperdense image at the same location. On surgical exploration, fibrotic tissue was found in the posterior region of the left thyroid lobe and a left subtotal thyroidectomy was performed. Postoperative evolution was adequate.Conclusions: Extraluminal migration of foreign bodies in the digestive tract is feasible, especially that of fish bones due to their morphology. Tomography is the most reliable diagnostic tool to detect foreign bodies lodged in the thyroid gland. It is necessary to know the possible complications and to optimize the possible interventions, since the clinical prognosis of the patient depends on it

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La mastitis es considerada como una infección que afecta la ubre de la vaca en diversos grados de gravedad, ocasionada por numerosos microorganismos. Trae como consecuencia una reducción en la producción de leche y la alteración de sus características fisicoquímicas. La calidad higiénica de la leche tiene una importancia fundamental en el consumo humano y, por tanto, debe ser un producto inocuo e idóneo. Objetivo: Este estudio pretende dar a conocer los principales agentes etiológicos de la mas-titis bovina y sus patrones de sensibilidad a los antibióticos, dando una visión global de su situación actual en los municipios de importante producción lechera del departamento de Boyacá. Métodos: Mediante un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, observacional y transversal, se pro-cesaron 214 muestras de leche prevenientes de pezones afectados con algún grado de mas-titis bovina. Para el diagnóstico microbiológico se emplearon muestras de leche a las que se les aplicaron protocolos habituales de identificación, siguiendo los perfiles bioquímicos. Los patrones de sensibilidad a antibióticos se establecieron mediante la técnica de Kirby-Bauer. Resultados: Se encontró una prevalencia de 31 % (n=214) de bacterias que ocasionan mas-titis contagiosa, siendo Staphylococcus aureus el agente etiológico más importante en un 26 %. Se presentó una alta sensibilidad a los antibióticos betalactámicos evidente en el 20,6 % de los aislamientos, correspondiente a bacterias Gram positivas presentando resistencia a la penicilina, especialmente en especies de Staphylococcus spp. Conclusiones: En este trabajo se aislaron e identificaron algunos agentes etiológicos cau-santes de mastitis bovina de origen contagioso, origen ambiental y agentes oportunistas e infrecuentes (Bacillus spp. y Lactobacillus spp.). En estos aislamientos se encontró una alta sensibilidad a antibióticos, principalmente a los betalactámicos.


Introduction: Mastitis is considered as an infection affecting the cow's udder in varying degrees of severity, caused by numerous microorganisms. It results in a reduction of milk production and an alteration of the physicochemical characteristics. The hygienic quality of milk has a fundamental importance in human consumption; therefore, it must be a safe and suitable product. Objective: This study seeks to highlight the major etiologic agents of bovine mastitis and antibiotic susceptibility patterns giving an overview of the current disease situation in muni-cipalities with important milk production in Boyacá state. Methods: This is a quantitative, descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study in which a total 214 sample from quarters affected with some degree of bovine mastitis were pro-cessed. For microbiological diagnosis of milk samples, standard protocols for identifying biochemical profiles were used. The antibiotic susceptibility patterns were performed by the technique of Kirby Bauer.Results: A prevalence of 31% (n=214) of bacteria causing contagious mastitis was observed, and within these, Staphylococcus aureus was found as the most important etiologic agent in 26%. A high sensitivity to beta-lactam antibiotics were observed in 20.6% of isolates, co-rresponding Gram-positive bacteria were resistant to penicillin, especially among Staphylo-coccus spp. species. Conclusions: Some etiological agents were isolated and identified causing bovine mastitis of contagious and environmental origin and opportunistic and infrequent agents (Bacillus spp. and Lactobacillus spp.). In these isolates a high susceptibility was found, mainly to beta-lactam antibiotics.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To describe the changes occurred in some sociodemographic variables and in the living conditions among the Nasa, Guambiana and Afrocolombian populations in the northern region of the department of Cauca, and those occurred in two white-mestizo and black residential sectors in Cali, during the 1993-2005 period.Methods: It is a descriptive study for which several sociodemographic indicators were calculated through the processing of census microdata of the years 1993 and 2005: juvenile dependency rate; total masculinity index; mean household size; specific and global fecundity, and infant mortality rates; life expectancy; mean years of schooling; health coverage; and percentage of population with unmet basic needs (UBN). In this way, the notorious differences in the sociodemographic and standard of living trends between the different populations under study can be stressed.Results: The Guambiana population of the Silva town presents lower fertility rates than the Nasa population, still characterized for presenting early fertility rates. Unlike the northern Cauca Indian people, the Afrocolombian population from this region and the one resident in Cali’s black popular urban classes tends to show similar socio-demographic patterns.Conclusions: Although there have been deep changes during this period among the populations under study, the ethnic-racial inequalities seem to persist. From this first diagnosis, attention is called to the need for a more adequate reproductive health policy to attend the specific needs present among the Indian population
