ABSTRACT

Resumen La falla hepática es un problema de salud debido a su incidencia y su elevada mortalidad a corto plazo (40-80%). La súbita alteración de la función hepática lleva a las manifestaciones clínicas características, con desarrollo de encefalopatía hepática, ictericia, coagulopatía, susceptibilidad aumentada a infecciones, síndrome hepato-renal y falla multi-orgánica. Puede ocurrir en pacientes sin enfermedad hepática preexistente (Falla Hepática Aguda) o en un paciente con enfermedad hepática crónica que sufre una descompensación aguda (Falla Aguda sobre Crónica).El trasplante hepático sigue siendo la única alternativa terapéutica con beneficio demostrado en la sobrevida de estos pacientes. Sin embargo este no siempre puede llevarse a cabo debido a la escasez de órganos y/o la presencia de contraindicaciones para el mismo. En este escenario el sistema de soporte hepático artificial extracorpóreo Prometheus® disponible en Uruguay, es fundamental para mantener la condición del paciente hasta la recuperación espontánea de la función hepática o hasta que exista un órgano disponible para el trasplante.


Abstract Liver Failure is a health problem because of its incidence and high mortality in short terms (40% to 80%). The sudden impairment of liver function leads to its characteristic clinical manifestations with the development of hepatic encephalopathy, jaundice, coagulation disturbances, increased susceptibility to infections, hemodynamic instability, hepatorenal syndrome and multiorgan failure. It may develop in patients without preexisting liver disease (Acute Liver Failure) or in patients with chronic liver disease with an acute decompensation (Acute on Chronic Liver Failure). Liver transplantation is the only therapeutic choice with demonstrated benefit on survival. However it cannot always be done due to the shortage of donor organs and/or the presence of contraindications. In this scenario the extracorporeal liver support system Prometheus® available in Uruguay is really important for maintaining the patient s condition until the spontaneous recovery of the liver function or until a donor organ becomes available.

ABSTRACT

Based on the patient,bundled payment was known as episode-based payment,which pay the overall treatment cost on a or multiple medical service providers.In the current,there were 3 main bundled payment model in the United States,including confirm service,Prometheus and service improvement payment.The series of research showed that,bundled payment could decrease the cost of medical service based on keeping even improving medical service quality.Based on diagnosis related groups (DRGs),bundled payment increased total prepayment control and introduced the calculation method on cost prepayment ratio and potential avoidable allowance and reward for complication.The cost control based on the evidence and the incentive mechanism based on the encourage were all worth for references.

ABSTRACT

En el movisimo campo de las células troncales ("stem cell") y la medicina regenerativa, la búsqueda del Santo Grial de la investigación científica, es la recreacion o la inducción del renacimiento de un órgano funcional, llamese hígado, retina o riñon. En un extremo el hígado de Prometeo, de inherente capacidad para regenerarse, la demanda del órgano excede en mucho la disponibilidad de donantes. En Estados Unidos de America, 9% de los pacientes con insuficiencia hepática fallecen a la espera de un trasplante, así que la investigación en tratamientos regenerativos nunca ha tenido más fundamento y adquirido más énfasis que en estos tiempos. En el otro extremo, la retina, inexplicable olvido de la naturaleza, como otras neuronas del sistema nervioso incapaz de regenerarse a sí misma y hasta ahora, inmune a la neuroprotección y reparación después de una injuria. No obstante en un futuro no muy lejano será posible preservar y restaurar la visión en personas en las que se encuentre amenazada o se haya perdido por enfermedad o injuria del nervio óptico


In the newest field of stem cells and regenerative medicine, the quest for the Holy Grail of scientific research is the recreation or induction of rebirth of a functional organism, such as the liver, retina o kidney. At one end liver of Prometheus with its inherent capacity to regenerate, has a demand that greatly exceeds the availability of donors. In the United States of America, 9% of patients with liver failure die waiting for a transplant, so research in regenerative treatment has never had more importance or acquired greater emphasis than at this time. At the other end, the retina, inexplicable oblivion of nature, is, as other neurons of the central nervous system, unable to regenerate itself and so far, immune to neuroprotection and repair after an injury. Nevertheless, in the future it will be possible, however, to preserve and restore vision in people whose optic nerve are threatened or have been lost due to illness or injury
