ABSTRACT

The 2016 WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System incorporates a new diagnostic entity: the mutant diffuse midline glioma H3K27, a tumor with a characteristic location and special molecular biology. We report the case of a 51-year-old male patient with progressive diplopia. The imaging study showed a mesencephalic tumor; the stereotacic biopsy disclosed an Anaplastic Astrocytoma Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild type. The molecular study concludes H3K27 mutation. The patient was treated with radiotherapy with concurrent and adjuvant chemotherapy (temozolomide) with partial recovery of the diplopia.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to determine the degree of dental anxiety in the staff of the Municipality of Biblián, Ecuador. A cross-sectional study was carried out using the modified Corah dental anxiety scale in its Spanish version. A total of 159 employees, 72.3% men and 27.7% women, were included. The most prevalent level of dental anxiety was mild or none (37.1%), followed by moderate anxiety (35.6%), and severe anxiety or phobia (13.8%). The most prevalent degree of anxiety in men was mild or null (28.9%), and in women this was moderate at 8.8%. In relation to age, the group aged 31 to 50 years had the highest prevalence of severe dental anxiety or phobia (9.4%). The staff of the Municipality of Biblián presented a high prevalence of mild or no anxiety

ABSTRACT

Dental aesthetics is an important factor since it represents a determinant and influential physical stereotype on the individual in different age groups. Young people are particularly vulnerable due to the influence of social media. Thus, there is a greater collective interest in improving the appearance of their smiles, allowing them to improve their interpersonal relationships. Currently, there are several indices to assess quality of life and dental aesthetics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of dental self-perception on the quality of life of students at the Catholic University of Cuenca, Azogues, in 2018. The study included a sample of 189 students; the Aesthetic Oral Health Impact Profile (A-OHIP14) questionnaire was applied. Inferential statistics used chi-squared tests (p<0.05). No statistical significance was found between quality of life according to sex (p=0.246) or age (p=0.132). Regarding the domains, it was reported that psychological discomfort and physical pain has the highest scores (3.15-2.92), while they feeling disadvantaged and social disability had lower scores (1.5-1.56). Male students aged 18 to 21 showed the greatest impact of dental self-perception on quality of life associated with oral health.

ABSTRACT

Las fisuras labio-alvéolo-palatinas (FLAP) son anomalías congénitas que tienen una frecuencia estimada, mundial, de 1/500 a 1/2500 nacidos vivos y una etiología que involucra factores genéticos, ambientales. Objetivo General: Estudiar la complejidad de la rehabilitación del paciente FLAP que concurre a servicios adheridos a la Red. Metodología: la Red de Servicios de Rehabilitación de pacientes FLAP, diseñada y organizada en la primera etapa del proyecto ha proporcionado por medio de su registro epidemiológico la información básica de 970 pacientes. Resultados: La fisura de paladar con labio fisurado (Q.37) es el diagnóstico más frecuente con el 70 por ciento, la fisura de paladar (Q.35) el 17,8 por ciento y labio fisurado (Q36) 11,3 por ciento. En el 20,3 por ciento de los casos hubo malformaciones asociadas. La colocación de "placa ortopédica" y "placa con tutor nasal" fueron aplicados en el 83 por ciento de los casos. La cirugía de labio en el 60 por ciento de los casos fue realizada en tiempo y oportunidad, antes de los 6 meses de vida. En "labio unilateral" el tipo de cirugía más empleado fue de "rotación y avance" en el 40 por ciento. El 70 por ciento (32) de los casos de niños de 1 a 8 años de edad recibió "Cirugía Secundaria".


Oral clefts, in particular clefts lip and palate, are mayor birth defects with a variable prevalence ranging from 1 in 500 to 1 in 2500 newborns. Oral clefts include syndromic or isolated forms; both genes and environmental exposures are involved in their complex etiology. Objective: The objective of the present study is to organize a network of rehabilitation services of patients with FLAP. Methodology: The Network of Rehabilitation Services, designed and organized in the first phase of the project, has provided basic information of 970 patients by means of one epidemiologic register. Results: Palatal fissure with fissured lip (Q.37) is the most frequent diagnostic with 70 per cent of the cases; palatal fissure (Q35) with 17.8 per cent, and fissured lip (Q36) with 11.3 per cent. In 20.3 per cent of cases there were associated malformations. Placing of "orthopaedic plate" and "plate with nasal tutor" was applied to 83 per cent of the cases. The 60 per cent of surgery of lip was made in time and opportunity, before the 6 months of life. The most utilized method of surgery in "unilateral lip" was "rotation and advance" in 40 per cent of the cases. The 70 per cent (32) of the cases of children from 1 to 8 years old have received “Secondary Surgery”.

ABSTRACT

Presentamos un análisis retrospectivo de 81 casos de meningiomas intracraneales en adultos operados en el INC entre 1991 y 1996. Se revisa el cuadro clínico acompañante, la localización, el estudio y manejo preoperatorio, el grado de resección, las complicaciones perioperatorias y los resultados clínicos. Cincuenta y siete (70,4 por ciento) eran mujeres, la edad promedio al momento del diagnóstico fue de 50 años, con un rango de 17 a 76 años, 97,5 por ciento de los casos correspondían a meningiomas únicos. Las localizaciones más frecuentes correspondieron a parasagitales (22,2 por ciento), esfenoidales (1 6 por ciento) y de la convexidad (14,8 por ciento). Se realizó una extirpación de acuerdo a los grados de Simpson I y II en el 63 por ciento de los pacientes, III y IV en el 35,8 por ciento, y V en 1,2 por ciento. Se obtuvo buenos resultados en cirugia de meningiomas en un 93,8 por ciento de los casos, la tasa de complicaciones global fue de 9,8 por ciento, la tasa de mortalidad de un 3,7 por ciento, y el 4,9 por ciento de los pacientes experimentó una recurrencia de su tumor

ABSTRACT

Con el objeto de analizar la frecuencia y las características del compromiso esofágico en las mesenquimopatías, se estudian 35 pacientes (28 con esclerosis sistémica progresiva y 7 con otras enfermedades del tejido conectivo), comparándosele con un grupo control de 19 sujetos sanos. Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron disfagia (71,4%, pirosis (42,8%) y dolor retroesternal (42,8%). La manometría esofágica resultó alterada en el 96,4% de los pacientes con esclerosis sistémica progresiva y en el 57% de los del otro grupo. Los hallazgos más frecuentes fueron la hipotonía del esfínter esofágico inferior y las ondas de contracción corporales simultáneas y de baja amplitud. Se concluye que las alteraciones motoras esofágicas presentan una alta prevalencia en el grupo estudiado y en especial en la esclerosis sistémica progresiva, con hallazgos característicos que son concordantes con los reportados en la literatura revisada
