Factores clínicos y bioquímicos asociados con la tirotropina en embarazadas aparentemente sanas / Clinical and biochemical factors associated with thyrotropin in seemingly healthy pregnant women

Introducción: Los valores de tirotropina (TSH) pueden modificarse marcadamente durante el embarazo, en relación con diversos factores clínicos y bioquímicos. Objetivo: Identificar los factores clínicos y bioquímicos asociados con la tirotropina en embarazadas aparentemente sanas. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal, con 247 gestantes aparentemente sanas del municipio Plaza de la Revolución., en el periodo comprendido de septiembre de 2015 a enero de 2019. Variables analizadas: edad materna y gestacional, trimestre del embarazo, color de la piel, paridad, hábito de fumar, antecedentes familiares de enfermedad tiroidea (APF), consumo de suplementos con yodo, índice de masa corporal (IMC), presencia de bocio al examen físico, TSH, tiroxina total (T4t) y libre (T4l), triyodotironina total (T3t) y libre (T3l), gonadotropina coriónica (hCG), anticuerpos contra la peroxidasa tiroidea (AcTPO) y la tiroglobulina (AcTg) y yoduria. Resultados: La TSH (1,66 ± 0,91mUI/L) tuvo una asociación negativa con la edad materna (r = -0,17; p = 0,008), la paridad (nulíparas 1,80 ± 0,90 mUI/L, multíparas 1,45 ± 0,89 mUI/L; p = 0,003), los APF (positivos 1,56 ± 0,91 mUI/L, negativos 1,81 ± 0,89 mUI/L; p = 0,03), la T4t (r = -0,15; p = 0,02), la T4l (r = -0,23; p = 0,000) y la hCG (r = -0,52; p = 0,001). Mostraron una relación directa la edad gestacional (r = 0,25; p = 0,000) y el uso de suplementos yodados (consumo 1,96 ± 0,72mUI/L, no consumo 1,62 ± 0,93 mUI/L; p = 0,03). Conclusiones: La tirotropina presenta una relación inversa con la edad materna, la paridad, los antecedentes familiares de enfermedad tiroidea, la T4 total y libre, y la gonadotropina coriónica, y una relación directa con la edad gestacional y el consumo de suplementos con yodo(AU)

Introduction: Thyrotropin (TSH) values can be sharply modified during pregnancy, in relation to various clinical and biochemical factors. Objective: Identify clinical and biochemical factors associated with thyrotropin in seemingly healthy pregnant women. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study with 247 seemingly healthy pregnant women from Plaza de la Revolution municipality in the period from September 2015 to January 2019. Variables analyzed: maternal and gestational age, trimester of pregnancy, skin color, pregnancies, smoking habit, family history of thyroid disease (APF), consumption of iodine supplements, body mass index (BMI), presence of goiter to physical examination, TSH, total and free (T4l) thyroxine (T4t), total (T3t) and free (T3l) triiodothyronine, chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), antibodies against thyroid peroxidase (AcTPO) and thyroglobulin (AcTg) and urinary iodine. Results: TSH (1.66 ± 0.91mUI/L) had a negative association with maternal age (r = -0.17; p x 0.008), pregnancy (nulliparas 1.80 ± 0.90 mUI/L, 1.45 ± 0.89 mUI/L; p x 0.003), APF (positive 1.56 ± 0.91 mUI/L, negative 1.81 ± 0.89 mUI/L; p x 0.03), the T4t (r = -0.15; p s 0.02), the T4l (r = -0.23; p x 0.000) and the hCG (r = -0.52; p x 0.001). They showed a direct relationship with gestational age (r x 0.25; p x 0.000) and the use of iodine supplements (consumption 1.96 ± 0.72mUI/L, not consumption 1.62 ± 0.93 mUI/L; p x 0.03). Conclusions: Thyrotropin has an inverse relationship with maternal age, pregnancies, family history of thyroid disease, total and free T4, and chorionic gonadotropin, and a direct relationship with gestational age and consumption of iodine supplements(AU)

Terapia de recanalização endovascular de oclusão da artéria carótida em paciente com acidente vascular cerebral agudo / Percutaneous recanalization of carotid artery occlusion in patient with and acute stroke

Relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 69 anos, que, após a realização de arteriografia carotídea apresentou trombose sintomática da bifurcação carotídea. A paciente foi submetida imediatamente a reperfusão endovascular mecânica, com implante bem-sucedido de stent carotídeo, obtendo reversão completa do déficit neurológivo.

A 69 year-old woman developed symptomatic internal carotid artery thrombosis after carotid angiography. She was immediately submitted to mechanical endovascular reperfusion with successful carotid stent implantation and complete neurological recovery.
