ABSTRACT

Introducción: la medicina basada en el valor ha logrado mejorar la calidad de atención del paciente y/o la satisfacción de las personas, reduciendo costos y obteniendo mejores resultados. Se apoya sobre tres pilares básicos: la medicina basada en la evidencia, la atención centralizada en el paciente, y la sustentabilidad. Sin embargo, existen pocas publicaciones sobre la estrategia de personas navegadoras para pacientes con cáncer de pulmón, que podrían ser una herramienta clave para brindar apoyo, asegurando que tengan acceso al conocimiento y los recursos necesarios a fin de completar la vía de atención clínica recomendada. Estado del arte: se trata de una intervención en salud cuyo objetivo principal es lograr vencer las barreras relacionadas con la atención (p. ej., logísticas, burocrático-administrativas, de comunicación y financieras) para poder mejorar la calidad y el acceso a la salud en el marco de la atención del cáncer. Estas personas cumplen un papel de guía para pacientes durante el proceso de diagnóstico y tratamiento activo. Su labor consiste en vincular al paciente con los proveedores clínicos, brindar un sistema de apoyo, asegurar un acompañamiento individualizado, garantizar que tengan acceso al conocimiento y a los recursos necesarios para completar el seguimiento y/o tratamiento adecuado. Discusión/Conclusión: indudablemente, es un elemento cada vez más reconocido en los programas de cáncer, centrado en el paciente y de alta calidad. Su implementación será de especial interés en la Unidad de Práctica Integrada para personas con cáncer de pulmón. (AU)


Introduction: Value-based medicine has succeeded in improving the quality of patient care and or patient satisfaction, reducing costs, and obtaining better outcomes. It rests on three fundamental pillars: evidence-based medicine, patient-centered care, and sustainability. However, there are few publications on the people navigator strategy for lung cancer patients, which could be a crucial tool for providing support, ensuring that they have access to the knowledge and resources needed to complete the recommended clinical care pathway. State of the art: It is a health intervention whose main objective is to overcome care-related barriers (e.g., logistical, bureaucratic-administrative, communication, and financial) to improve quality and access to health in the context of cancer care. These individuals play a guiding role for patients during the diagnostic and active treatment process. Their job is to link the patient with clinical providers, provide a support system, ensure individualized accompaniment, and guarantee that they get access to the knowledge and resources necessary to complete the appropriate follow-up and, or treatment. Discussion/Conclusion: Undoubtedly, patient navigators represent an increasingly recognized element of high-quality, patient-centered cancer programs. Its implementation will be of specific interest in the Integrated Practice Unit for people with lung cancer. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El tratamiento expectante de pacientes con neumotórax espontáneo primario (NEP) pequeños y asintomáticos permanece siendo motivo de discusión, en parte debido a la mayor tasa de recurrencia aparente con respecto a los tratados con drenajes pleurales. Objetivo: Presentar la experiencia en el manejo de NEP grado I, comparando los resultados a corto y largo plazo de aquellos tratados con drenajes pleurales de aquellos tratados de manera expectante. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo sobre una base de datos prospectiva en pacientes con diagnóstico de neumotórax espontáneo grado I clínicamente estables. Resultados: Sobre un total de 69 pacientes, 30 pacientes fueron tratados con drenaje pleural y 39 pacientes realizaron un tratamiento expectante con manejo ambulatorio. No se evidenciaron diferencias poblaciones en cuanto a edad, sex, lado, antecedente de tabaquis­mo, y tamaño de neumotórax. Con respecto a los resultados a corto plazo, no existieron diferencias de resultados de tratamiento con respecto a la falla terapéutica en ambos grupos, existiendo si diferencias significativas con respecto al tiempo de internación en favor del manejo expectante. Con respecto a los resultados a largo plazo, no hubo diferencias significativas con respecto a la recurrencia entre ambos grupos. Conclusión: El manejo expectante de pacientes con neumotórax espontáneo primario pequeños y clínicamente estables con estricto control ambulatorio y pautas de alarmas de los mismos, presenta buenos resultados a corto y largo plazo, debiendo ser considerado como primera opción terapéutica.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Expectant treatment in clinically stable patients with small primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) remains in discussion, partly due to the described increased recurrence rate compared to patients treated with pleural drainage. Objective: To present the experience in the management of grade I PSP, comparing long- and short-term results of patients treated with pleural drainage with those treated expectantly. Methods: We present a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with small asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic PSP. Results: 34 out of 69 patients were treated with pleural drainage and 35 underwent expectant treatment with outpatient management. Both groups were comparable regarding sex, side, size of pneumothorax and history of tobacco smoking. As for the short-term results, there weren't any differences between groups in success therapy, but there were significant differences related to hospital stay, where patients treated with pleural drainage presented longer length of stay. Regarding long-term results, there weren't significant differences in terms of recurrence between both groups. Conclusion: The expectant management of clinically stable patients with small primary spontaneous pneumothorax with strict ambulatory control follow-up and those who comply with treatment recommendations and can obtain prompt emergency medical care presents acceptable long- and short-term results and should be the first choice of treatment.

El objetivo de nuestro estudiofue determinar supervivencia y factores pronósticos enun grupo de pacientes con metástasis pulmonares porosteosarcoma tratados quirúrgicamente. Se realizó unabúsqueda retrospectiva en nuestra base de datos oncológicaentre 1992-2006, y 38 pacientes fueron incluidos enel estudio. La edad media al momento del diagnóstico fuede 18 ± 9.4 años (3-45) y el seguimiento promedio de 57± 53.8 meses (12-231). Todos fueron tratados con quimioterapia, resección oncológica del tumor primario y de lasmetástasis pulmonares. Se analizó la supervivencia a 5 y10 años de la serie y los siguientes factores pronósticos: edad, sexo, localización del tumor primario, metástasis de inicio, recidiva local, número de metástasis extirpadasy la respuesta al tratamiento de quimioterapia (necrosistumoral). La supervivencia global fue de 29% a los 5 años(IC95%:14.5-43.5) y de 26% a los 10 años (IC95%:12-40).Se encontró una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los buenos y malos respondedores a la quimioterapia:53% (IC95%: 28-78) vs. 8% (IC95%: 0-20) (p = 0.0008). Nose observó relación estadísticamente significativa entre losdemás factores pronósticos analizados. La supervivenciaa 5 y 10 años de los pacientes con osteosarcoma y metástasis pulmonares tratados con quimioterapia y resección quirúrgica continúa siendo pobre. Los pacientes con buena respuesta a la quimioterapia neoadyuvante presentan un mejor pronóstico oncológico.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: La hemoptisis masiva constituye una emergencia médica con alta mortalidad. Objetivos: Informar la experiencia del tratamiento endovascular con embolización bronquial en una serie de pacientes consecutivos en una misma institución. Población: Se incluyeron prospectivamente entre 2001-2011 todos los pacientes con hemoptisis masiva que requirieron embolización bronquial. Método: Se registraron variables demográficas, clínicas y angiográficas. Se efectuó angiografía de arterias bronquiales y/o sitémicas provenientes de la aorta en todos los casos. La emolización fue realizada bajo contro radioscópico con micropartículas o microesferas calibradasentre 350-700 micrones. Cada procedimiento se dio por finalizado al comprobar la oclusión vascular de los territorios considerados responsables de la hemoptisis masiva. Se incluyeron 59 pacientes, edad 51 años, mujeres 29. Se realizaron 70 procedimiento de embolización (n=52 una única intervención y n= fueron necesarias dos o más intervenciones. Resultados: en 57/59 se observó éxito clínico inmediato, en 2/59 fue necesaria una segunda embolización dentro de las 72 horas para controlar la hemorragia. No hubo complicaciones mayores ni mortalidad relacionadas con el tratamiento endovascular. En el seguimiento mediano y largo plazo se observó recurrencia en 7/59 a los que se les repitió la embolización. Conclusión:El tratamiento endovascular fue seguro y efectivo en esta serie de pacientes, considerándose el método terapéutico inicial de elección en la hemoptisis masiva en nuestra institución.

ABSTRACT

Given a montmorillonitic clay soil at high porosity and saturated by monovalent counterions, we investigate the particle level responses of the clay to different external loadings. As analytical solutions are not possible for complex arrangements of particles, we employ computational micromechanical models (based on the solution of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations) using the finite element method, to estimate counterion and electrical potential distributions for particles at various angles and distances from one another. We then calculate the disjoining pressures using the Van't Hoff relation and Maxwell stress tensor. As the distance between the clay particles decreases and double-layers overlap, the concentration of counterions in the micropores among clay particles increases. This increase lowers the chemical potential of the pore fluid and creates a chemical potential gradient in the solvent that generates the socalled 'disjoining' or 'osmotic' pressure. Because of this disjoining pressure, particles do not need to contact one another in order to carry an 'effective stress'. This work may lead towards theoretical predictions of the macroscopic load deformation response of montmorillonitic soils based on micromechanical modelling of particles.


Dada uma argila montmorilonítica de alta porosidade e saturada por counteríons monovalentes, investigamos as respostas da argila ao nível de partículas para diferentes cargas externas. Como soluções analíticas não são possíveis para arranjos complexos de partículas, empregamos modelos computacionais micro-mecânicos (baseados na solução das equações de Poisson-Nernst-Planck), utilizando o método de elementos finitos, para estimar counteríons e distribuições de potencial elétrico para partículas em diversos ângulos e distâncias uma da outra. Nós então calculamos as pressões de separação usando a relação de Van't Hoff e a tensão de cisalhamento de Maxwell. À medida que a distância entre as partículas de argila diminui e as duplas camadas se sobrepõem, a concentração de counteríons nos microporos entre as partículas de argila aumenta. Este aumento reduz o potencial químico do fluido nos poros e cria um gradiente de potencial químico no solvente, que gera a chamado pressão 'osmótica' ou de 'separação'. Devido a esta pressão de separação, as partículas não precisam de contato entre si, a fim de exercer uma 'tensão efetiva'. Este trabalho pode conduzir a previsões teóricas da resposta macroscópica a carga de deformação em solos montmoriloníticos baseado na modelação micromecânica das partículas.

ABSTRACT

Os principais fatores de mortalidade natural de Haplostegus nigricrus Conde (Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Pergidae) presente em área de mata secundária no município de Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brasil são descritos. Adultos de H. nigricrus foram amostrados mensalmente, durante um ano, por varredura de vegetação, e seus números correlacionados com a temperatura e precipitação. Os inimigos naturais foram registrados através de larvas e adultos de H. nigricrus mantidos em laboratório e campo e incluem predadores, parasitóides, vírus e fungos. Inimigos naturais não foram observados nas fases de ovo e adulto e a viabilidade das pupas foi reduzida sob condições laboratoriais. Haplostegus nigricrus é bivoltino e seu ciclo de vida coincide fortemente com ambos os picos populacionais. A baixa ocorrência de inimigos naturais, a alta viabilidade da fase de ovo e a forte correlação com os fatores abióticos regionais sugerem que essa espécie tenha alta adaptabilidade aos habitats compostos por Myrtaceae nativas de importância econômica no Brasil.


The main natural mortality factors of Haplostegus nigricrus Conde (Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Pergidae) present in a secondary forested area in the municipality of Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil, are described. Adults were sampled monthly for one year by sweeping vegetation, and their numbers correlated with temperature and rainfall. Natural enemies were recorded from larvae and adults under both laboratory and field conditions and include predators, parasitoids, viruses, and fungi. Natural enemies were not observed in the egg and adult phases and the pupae viability was even less under laboratory conditions. Haplostegus nigricrus is bivotine, and its life cycle strongly coincides with both. The low occurrence of natural enemies, the high egg viability, and the strong correlation to regional abiotic factors suggest that this species has high adaptability to habitats composed of native Myrtaceae of economic importance in Brazil .

ABSTRACT

Aunque los pacientes con cáncer de pulmón a células no pequeñas en estadios tempranos (NSCLC) tienen buen pronóstico, el 20-30% recae, siendo relevante la identificación de biomarcadores pronósticos. Los retinoides regulan crecimiento y diferenciación, y pueden antagonizar la progresión tumoral. Su efecto depende del transporte citosólico mediado por moléculas como CRBP1, y de la unión a receptores específicos (RARβ). Alteraciones en esta vía se asociaron con cáncer. Nuestro objetivo fue estudiar la expresión, mediante inmunohistoquímica, de RARβ y CRBP1 en el tejido tumoral de 49 pacientes NSCLC Estadio I/II, obtenido durante la cirugía. La supervivencia se analizó mediante los test Log Rank y multivariado de Cox. El 44.9% de los tumores fueron positivos para RARβ con expresión a nivel citoplasmático, mientras que el 34.7% lo expresó a nivel nuclear. La tinción para CRBP1 se observó en el 61.2% de los tumores. No se encontró asociación entre la expresión de ambas moléculas y las características clinicopatológicas (sexo, tamaño tumoral, nódulos línfáticos comprometidos, histopatología y p53). Tampoco se encontró asociación con el hábito de fu-mar. La presencia de células tumorales en el lavado pleural se asoció significativamente con la expresión de CRBP1. Por otro lado, se demostró asociación entre la expresión elevada de RARβ citoplasmático y menor supervivencia global (LR 4.17, p=0.0412). El análisis multivariado no mostró asociación con otras variables de pronóstico en NSCLC. En conclusión, en este grupo de pacientes NSCLC Estadio I/II, RARβ pareciera predecir la supervivencia global en forma independiente.


Although early-stage non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients have a relative by favorable prognosis, the risk of a bad outcome remains substantial. Identification of reliable prognostic markers for disease recurrence and death has meaningful clinical application. Retinoids are involved in cell growth and differentiation and may antagonize cancer progression. Their effects are mediated through nuclear receptors called Retinoic Acid Receptor (RAR) and regulated by molecules such as Cellular Retinol-Binding Protein 1 (CRBP1) that function in retinol storage. The aim of this work was to analyze by immunohistochemistry the expression patterns of RARβ and CRBP1, involved in retinoid-mediated signaling, in the tumoral tissue of a cohort of stage I/II NSCLC patients (n=49) who underwent a successful surgical resection. Prognostic evaluation was performed with the multivariate Cox proportional hazard model: 44.9% of tumors were positive for RARβ staining at cytoplasmic level, while 34.7% showed nuclear staining. CRBP1 staining was observed in 61.2% of the lung tumors. No relationship was found between the number of cells expressing the studied molecules and clinical pathological features, including sex, T and N (stage), histopathology and p53 expression. Univariate analysis showed a significant association between positive cytoplasmatic expression of RARβ with shorter overall survival (Log-rank test 4.17, p=0.0412). Multivariate studies indicated that RARβ expression was not influenced by other clinical pathological parameters. In conclusion, in this cohort of stage I and II NSCLC, only the expression of RARβ at cytoplasmatic level is a significant independent unfavorable prognostic factor.

ABSTRACT

An experiment was performed to study auditory perception and cognitive function in the presence of low-frequency dominant armoured vehicle noise (LAV III). Thirty-six normal hearing subjects were assigned to one of three noise backgrounds: Quiet, pink noise and vehicle noise. The pink and vehicle noise were presented at 80 dBA. Each subject performed an auditory detection test, modified rhyme test (MRT) and cognitive test battery for three different ear conditions: Unoccluded and fitted with an active noise reduction (ANR) headset in passive and ANR modes. Auditory detection was measured at six 1/3 octave band frequencies from 0.25 to 8 kHz. The cognitive test battery consisted of two subjective questionnaires and five performance tasks. The earmuff, both in the conventional and ANR modes, did not significantly affect detection thresholds at any frequency in the pink and vehicle noise backgrounds. For the MRT, there were no significant differences between the speech levels required for 60% correct responses for three ear conditions in the pink and vehicle noise backgrounds. A small but significant (4 dB) increase in speech level was required in pink noise as compared to vehicle noise. For the serial reaction time task, the mean response time in the vehicle noise background (751 ms) was significantly higher than in pink noise and quiet (709 and 651 ms, respectively). The mean response time in the pink noise background was also significantly higher than in quiet. Thus, the presence of noise, especially low-frequency noise, had a negative effect on reaction time.

ABSTRACT

Renal dysfunction following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) causes significant morbidity and mortality. There has been much research into possible methods of reducing renal damage, but much promising laboratory work has failed to live up to expectations in the clinical arena, such that there is no widely accepted renal protection strategy for cardiac surgical patients. Part of the difficulty is that there is no standardized definition of renal dysfunction, and there are a limited number of good quality randomised controlled clinical trials.
