ABSTRACT

Antiretroviral therapy has marked a change in the course of HIV infection, posing new challenges to improve quality of life in pediatric patients. Objective: The goal of this paper was to identify psychosocial aspects of HIV-infected children and adolescents, and to evaluate their neuropsychological development and psychiatric co-morbidity. Patients and Methods: A descriptive study was conducted, evaluating the neurocognitive performance of patients attending at the Pediatric Department of Instituto de Medicina Tropical Pedro Kourí of La Habana, Cuba, between February and July of 2008. For that purpose, interviews to the patients and their relatives were done with the application of appropriate tests for each age. Results: Twenty-three patients ages 3-17 years (57 percent female) were studied. Sixteen (69.5 percent) were infected through vertical transmission, and 7 (30.5 percent) through other routes. School children infected through vertical transmission showed the most symptoms. Hyperactivity, anxiety, and learning disorders were the most frequently observed symptoms as well as hyperkinetic disorders, temporary tic disorders and mental retardation. Conclusion: This study shows the neuropsychological characterization of HIV-positive children and adolescents, considering the route of acquisition of the infection and the stage of the disease. It also describes psychiatric comorbidity of HIV-infected children.


El tratamiento anti-retroviral marcó un cambio en la evolución de la infección por VIH, planteándose nuevos retos que mejoren la calidad de vida en las edades pediátricas. Objetivos: Identificar aspectos psicosociales en niño y adolescente que adquirieron la infección por VIH, evaluar el desarrollo neuropsicológico y describir la co-morbilidad psiquiátrica presente en el grupo estudiado. Pacientes y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, donde se evaluó el desempeño neurocognitivo de pacientes atendidos en la clínica pediátrica del Instituto de Medicina Tropical Pedro Kourí de La Habana, Cuba, entre los meses de febrero y julio de 2008, para lo cual se realizaron entrevistas a familiares, examen directo del participante y la aplicación de instrumentos específicos para cada edad. Resultados: Se evaluaron 23 niños y adolescentes entre los 3 y 17 años, predominó el sexo femenino con 13 (56,5 por ciento) y las edades entre los 6-11 años con 10 (43,5 por ciento) niños, más del 50 por ciento de los cuales se encontraban en los primeros años de escolarización, 16 (69,5 por ciento) infectados por trasmisión vertical y 7 (30,5 por ciento) por otras vías. Los escolares infectados por vía vertical fueron los que mayor sintomatología aportaron, la hiperactividad (57,1 por ciento), la ansiedad (42,8 por ciento) y las dificultades en el aprendizaje (14,2 por ciento), fueron los síntomas más frecuentes. El diagnóstico de trastorno hipercinético (13,0 por ciento) fue el más importante en la etapa escolar, mientras que el trastorno de adaptación depresivo lo fue en la adolescencia (8,6 por ciento). Conclusión: El estudio permitió la caracterización neuropsicológica de los niños y adolescentes estudiados, teniendo en cuenta las vías de adquisición de la infección, el momento evolutivo de la enfermedad y describir la co-morbilidad psiquiátrica asociada.

ABSTRACT

Fertilized eggs from an spontaneously spawn of thirty sexually mature sea urchins (Arbacia punctulata) were incubated to complete embryonic development. The echinopluteus larvae (3 ind/ml) were distributed into 50 plastic containers (25 containers at 30 psu and 25 containers at 40 psu) and fed on Tetraselmis chuii, Nannochloropsis oculata, Isochrysis galbana, Chaetoceros gracilis and C. calcitrans under a natural photoperiod. The water of the containers was partially renewed (75%) everyday. Larval anatomic development aspects, daily survival and growth were determined. The growth was determined through postoral arms and body length measurement, and body diameter of twelve larvae during metamorphosis. During the planktonic larval phase, only the I. galbana diet produced similar results for both salinities. The relative growth of larvae was isometric (I) for larvae fed on I. galbana at two salinities and positive allometric for those fed on C. gracilis and C. calcitrans at both salinities. In this study A. punctulata started metamorphosis at day 14 and was completed 30 days after fecundation. Significant differences were detected in post-settlement body growth between the two salinities (F = 23.58, p < 0.05): growth was better for larvae at 30 psu (final body diameter was 3.14 +/- 0.44 mm). The final rate of planktonic larvae was highest with I. galbana (58.33%). For juveniles the rate was 6.48% for those fed on C. gracilis (40 psu in both larvae and juveniles). We recommend the use of this diet and 40 psu for survival or 30 psu for growth.

ABSTRACT

Thirty sexually mature sea urchins (Echinometra lucunter; diameter 45.8 +/- 17.5 mm) were collected at Macanao, Margarita Island, Venezuela (11 degrees 48'29" N / 64 degrees 13'10" W). They were injected potassium chloride (50 M) directly into the celomic cavity. After two minutes 90% spawned (17 females and 10 males), the others never spawned. Fertilization was 87.0 +/- 12.6% (1:100 oocytes/sperm) at 29 +/- 2 degrees C. The fertile eggs were placed in three treatment gropsu with nine containers (18 liters; 2 eggs/ml) each, all with bottom aeration. Treatments were: Chaetoceros gracilis; Isochrysis galbana, and a mixture of both microalgae (respectively: 20 000 and 60,000 cell/ml for each microalgae, 1:1 for the mixture). Salinity, pH, temperature and larval survival were determinated daily. The study ended when the post-metamorphic phase was completed. The embryonic development time was 16.3 +/- 0.2 h until the prism stage at pH 8.4 +/- 0.1; 38 +/- 1 psu and 28 +/- 1.4 degrees C. The two-arms larval stage was reached at 24 h: 33 min, with a total length of 190 +/- 16.3 microm fed on C. gracilis, 152 +/- 19.0 microm with I. galbana and 182.4 +/- 14.1 microm with the mixture. The larvae next to metamorphosis reabsorbed the arms and had the characteristic shape of juvenile urchins at 12 days with 670.2 +/- 22.2 microm fed on C. gracilis, 665 +/- 12.1 microm fed on I. galbana and 670 +/- 14.1 microm fed on the mixture. The accumulated survival to the juvenile stage was 14.7 +/- 3.8% when fed on C. gracilis, higher than the other treatments (5.4 +/- 1.2; 14.0 +/- 2.6). E. lucunter is an excellent prospect to be commercially cultured because of its short embryonic (16 hours) and larval development time (12 days) and good survival rate when fed on monoculture (C. gracilis and I. galbana) or mixed diet (we recommend C. gracilis)

ABSTRACT

Background: There is no information about the prevalence of thyroidal diseases in the general Chilean population. Aim: To assess the prevalence of thyroidal diseases in individuals attended in occupational health examinations. Subjects and methods : Four hundred seventy two individuals were examined between 1998 and 1999. In all, serum levels of thyroid hormones, TSH and anti thyroidal antibodies (anti microsomal, anti thyroid peroxidase and anti thyroglobulin) were measured. Results: Forty four subjects were excluded from the study due to an incomplete medical record and 18 due to a personal history of thyroidal disease. Abnormal serum levels of thyroid hormones or TSH were detected in 28 subjects (6.8 percent). Four (1 percent) had hypothyroidism, 23 a subclinical hypothyroidism (5.6 percent) and one (0.2 percent) had hyperthyroidism. In 87 subjects (21.2 percent) at least one of the antibodies was positive. Positive anti thyroid antibodies were found in 14 of 28 subjects (50 percent) with abnormal thyroid hormone levels, compared with 73 of 382 subjects (19.1 percent) with normal thyroid hormone levels. Thyroid dysfunction was twice as frequent in women than in men. Conclusions: In this sample, a 6.8 percent prevalence of abnormal thyroid function tests was detected

ABSTRACT

A proposito un caso. Una mujer de 46 años de edad, presentó diarreas, lllenura epigástrica y baja de peso. El estudio radiológico endoscópico demostró grandes rugosidades de los pliegues gástricos y el diagnóstico de enfermedad de Menetrier fue confirmado por biopsia quirúrgica. Con la gastrectomía total y esofagoyeyunoanastomosis de Roux en Y, mejoró sus niveles de proteínas plasmáticas, pero continúa con diarrea postgastrectomía. Como factor etiológico se le atribuye uno de tipo multifactorial exógeno/endógeno: hereditario, alérgico, psíquico y transtorno adenomatoso endocrino. A propósito de este caso, se hace una revisión de literatura médica.

ABSTRACT

Se estudiaron 186 empleados del Matadero y Feria de Ganado del Municipio de Medellin (Colombia), buscando la prevalencia de brucelosis. Se baso el diagnostico en la presencia de titulos mayores de 1:50 en la pruebas en placa (Bang), en tubo y 2-Mercaptoetanol, en aquellos pacientes con sintomatologia clinica compatible con un cuadro de brucelosis. Se encontro solo un caso positivo y 3 casos sospechosos. Debido a esto, no se lograron establecer relaciones significativas entre la enfermedad y otros factores como la sintomatologia, el oficio, el tiempo de exposicion o los antecedentes personales. Esta baja ocurrencia en humanos (0.5%) parece fijar la prevalencia de brucelosis en bovinos procedentes de las zonas que tributan a esta ciudad
