RESUMEN
Resumo Fundamento A janela pericárdica, além de promover a drenagem pericárdica, também pode fornecer amostras do pericárdio para exame anatomopatológico. No entanto, a contribuição dessas biópsias para a elucidação da etiologia do derrame pericárdico tem sido debatida. Objetivo Analisar o valor diagnóstico da biópsia pericárdica não guiada obtida de procedimentos de janela pericárdica. Métodos Foram revisados retrospectivamente dados de 80 pacientes submetidos a biópsia pericárdica parietal de 2011 a 2020. A significância estatística foi considerada quando p < 0,05. Resultados Cinquenta pacientes eram do sexo masculino (62,5%) e 30 do sexo feminino (37,5%). A mediana de idade foi de 52 anos (intervalo interquartil: 29 a 59) e 49 anos (intervalo interquartil: 38 a 65), respectivamente (p = 0,724). A etiologia suspeita do derrame pericárdico foi neoplásica em 31,3%, incerta em 25%, tuberculose em 15%, autoimune em 12,5%, síndrome edemigênica em 7,5% e outras condições diversas em 8,8%. A abordagem mais frequente para drenagem pericárdica e biópsia foi a subxifoide (74%), seguida pela videotoracoscopia (22%). Em 78,8% das biópsias, os achados histopatológicos foram compatíveis com inflamação inespecífica, e apenas 13,7% de todas as biópsias produziram um diagnóstico histopatológico conclusivo. Aqueles que sofriam de câncer e derrame pericárdico apresentaram maior proporção de achados histopatológicos conclusivos (32% apresentavam infiltração neoplásica pericárdica). A taxa de mortalidade hospitalar foi de 27,5% e 54,5% dos pacientes que morreram no hospital tinham câncer. Nenhuma morte foi atribuída ao tamponamento cardíaco ou ao procedimento de drenagem. Conclusão Nossos resultados mostraram que a janela pericárdica é um procedimento seguro, mas teve pouco valor para esclarecer a etiologia do derrame pericárdico e nenhum impacto na terapia planejada para o diagnóstico primário além da descompressão cardíaca.
Abstract Background Pericardial window, in addition to promoting pericardial drainage, can also provide samples of the pericardium for anatomopathological examination. However, such biopsies' contribution to clarifying the etiology of pericardial effusion has been debated. Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of non-targeted pericardial biopsy obtained from pericardial window procedures. Methods Data from 80 patients who had undergone parietal pericardial biopsies from 2011 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Statistical significance was considered if p < 0.05. Results Fifty patients were male (62.5%,) and 30 were female (37.5%). The median age was 52 years (interquartile range: 29 to 59) and 49 years (interquartile range: 38 to 65), respectively (p = 0.724). The suspected etiology of pericardial effusion was neoplastic in 31.3%, unclear in 25%, tuberculosis in 15%, autoimmune in 12.5%, edemagenic syndrome in 7.5%, and other miscellaneous conditions in 8.8%. The most frequent approach for pericardial drainage and biopsy was subxiphoid (74%), followed by video-assisted thoracoscopy (22%). Overall, in 78.8% of the biopsies, the histopathologic findings were compatible with nonspecific inflammation, and only 13.7% of all biopsies yielded a conclusive histopathological diagnostic. Those suffering from cancer and pericardial effusion had a higher proportion of conclusive histopathologic findings (32% had pericardial neoplastic infiltration). The hospital mortality rate was 27.5%, and 54.5% of the patients who died in the hospital had cancer. No deaths were attributed to cardiac tamponade or the drainage procedure. Conclusion Our results showed that pericardial window is a safe procedure, but it had little value to clarify the pericardial effusion etiology and no impact on the planned therapy for the primary diagnosis besides the cardiac decompression.
RESUMEN
Introducción: La situación de salud en Chile frente a las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles ha empeorado en los últimos años. Por ello, son necesarios programas de cambio de hábitos que promuevan factores protectores y disminuyan factores de riesgo cardiovascular, y así intervenir desde donde surge el problema. Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia del programa Consultores de Salud Familiar mediante un trabajo de seguimiento de los indicadores de salud medidos. Métodos: Estudio analítico, cuasiexperimental y longitudinal. Se llevó a cabo en las ciudades de Concepción y Temuco, Chile, y se realizaron las mediciones de indicadores biométricos (IMC, peso, porcentaje de grasa corporal, porcentaje de músculo esquelético, nivel de grasa visceral, presión arterial sistólica y diastólica, perímetro de cintura y glucemia) en dos planes de seguimiento (general de un mes y personalizado, dos meses). Resultados: Al comparar ambos planes, se observó que en el plan de seguimiento general existieron diferencias en peso, porcentaje grasa corporal, porcentaje músculo esquelético e IMC (p < 0,01), y en el plan de seguimiento personalizado se observaron diferencias en presión arterial sistólica, perímetro de cintura, peso, porcentaje grasa corporal e IMC (p < 0,01) y glucemia (p < 0,05). No se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el plan de seguimiento general y personalizado. Conclusiones: El programa es efectivo en aumentar factores protectores como mantener un peso normal, realizar actividad física regular y consumir al menos 5 porciones de frutas y verduras, consumo de agua, entre otros, lo que permite al participante disminuir los factores de riesgo con independencia del plan de seguimiento(AU)
Introduction: The health situation in Chile with regard to chronic noncommunicable diseases has worsened in recent years. Therefore, programs to change habits that promote protective factors and reduce cardiovascular risk factors are necessary in order to intervene whore the problem arises. Objective: To assess the efficacy of a program with family health advisors through a follow-up study of the measured health indicators. Methods: Analytical, quasiexperimental and longitudinal study carried out in the Chilean cities of Concepción and Temuco. Biometric indicators (BMI, weight, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle percentage, visceral fat level, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference and blood glucose) were measured in two follow-up plans (general, one month; and personalized, two months). Results: Upon comparing both plans, it was observed that, in the general follow-up plan, there were differences in weight, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle percentage and BMI (p<0.01), while in the personalized follow-up plan, differences were observed in systolic blood pressure, waist circumference, weight, body fat percentage and BMI (p<0.01), as well as for glycemia (p<0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed between the general and personalized follow-up plans. Conclusions: The program is effective in increasing protective factors such as maintaining a normal weight, performing regular physical activity and consuming at least five servings of fruits and vegetables, water consumption, among others, which allows the participant to decrease risk factors regardless of the follow-up plan(AU)

Objetivo: Describir la prevalencia de alcoholismo en trabajadores de la industria cuero-calzado como consecuencia de estrés laboral. Justificación: Aumentar la calidad de vida en el trabajador debido a que el alcohol es utilizado para disminuir el cansancio, y el estrés disminuye los estados fisiológicos y de rendimiento laboral. Método: Se aplicó el cuestionario AUDIT (uso de alcohol [OMS]). El tipo de muestreo fue aleatorio con un I.C. al 90% = 50 cuestionarios. Resultados: El 60% estuvo integrado por mujeres y 40% por hombres. La media de edad fue de 28. El 70% de las mujeres obtuvo 21 puntos (elevado nivel de alcoholismo), y en los hombres fue de 33 puntos. Los hombres en fines de semana ingieren más alcohol que en jornadas acumuladas (2:1) por desestrés, p < 0,05 (prueba de X2). Existió una correlación significativa entre ser hombre e ingerir más alcohol en fines de semana (p < 0,05). Conclusión: Se observa una tendencia en el sexo femenino a ingerir cada vez más alcohol a corta edad sobre todo cuando se sienten estresadas, pero el género masculino ingiere grandes cantidades y lo siente habitual en fines de semana.
Objective: To describe the prevalence of alcoholism in workers as a result of the work stress. Justification: Increase the quality of life in the worker because the alcohol is used to reduce fatigue and stress decreases physiological states and work. Method: We applied the AUDIT questionnaire (alcohol use [WHO]). The type of sampling was random with an I.C. of 90% = 50 questionnaires. Results: The 60% were women and the 40% male. The age mean was 28. The 70% of women obtained 21 points (high level of alcoholism), and in men was 33 points. Men ingest more alcohol on weekends than in the cumulative working days (2:1) due de-stress, p < 0.05 (X2 test). There was a significant correlation between being a man and to ingest more alcohol on weekends (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It is observed a tendency in women to ingest alcohol at a more early age especially when they feel stressed, but males ingest more large amounts being it normal on weekends.
