RESUMEN

Resumen: Los aneurismas de seno de Valsalva son una malformación rara de observar en la práctica clínica. Se presentan a cualquier edad y pueden ser de origen congénito o adquirido. La importancia de su estudio radica en que potencialmente pueden complicarse con rotura y fistulización a otra estructura cardíaca o extracardíaca, con una alta mortalidad asociada. El diagnóstico muchas veces puede ser complejo, pero existen algunos elementos clínicos inespecíficos que pueden orientarnos en su detección y rápido manejo, lo que puede marcar una diferencia en el pronóstico del paciente. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 49 años con un aneurisma de seno de Valsalva complicado y a continuación una breve revisión del tema.


Abstract: Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are. They occur at any age, either as a congenital or an acquired malformation. They may rupture and form a fístula to other cardiac structures, with a high mortality rate. The clinical case of a 49 year-old patient with a ruptured sinus of Valsalva an a fístula to the right atrium is presented. A brief review of the subject is included.

RESUMEN

Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a systemic hereditary disorder characterized by localized cellular proliferation and extracellular matrix abnormalities resulting in both renal and extra renal manifestations, with multiple structural flaws such renal cysts, cerebral and aortic aneurysms, annulo-aortic ectasia, and valvular insufficiency states. Association between Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) has rarely been documented before. We herein report a case of Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) who presented with shortness of breath, was diagnosed as a case of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) and defect was closed successfully.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT Purpose: This study aimed to explore the effects of the Valsalva maneuver (VM) on ectatic corneas during anterior segment tomography scans using a Scheimpflug camera. Methods: This prospective observational study included 100 eyes of 50 patients with bilateral keratoconus (KC). Anterior segment tomography was first performed when the patients were in a resting position and immediately repeated as the participant performed VM. Scheimpflug images were taken using a Pentacam®. Results: The mean age of the participants was 24.14 ± 6.59 years. Of the 100 eyes included in the study, 7% had stage 1 KC, 47% had stage 2 KC, 32% had stage 3 KC, and 14% had stage 4 KC. The indices of KC were not significantly affected by VM. Similarly, no statistically significant differences were found between the stages of KC, or with the mean pachymetric progression index during VM. Pupil diameter showed a statistically significant increase during VM (p=0.017). There was a statistically significant decrease in the anterior chamber angle measurement during VM (p=0.001). Maximum curvature power in the front of the cornea decreased more during VM in stage 4 KC than for the other stages (p=0.014). Conclusions: No changes associated with VM were found in the KC indices or the stage of the disease. However, an increase in pupil diameter and a decrease in anterior chamber angle value were found. These changes were comparable to values obtained from previous studies performed on normal corneas.


RESUMO Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo explorar os efeitos da manobra de Valsalva (VM) na córnea ectásica durante a varredura tomográfica do segmento anterior usando a câmera de Scheimpflug. Métodos: Foi conduzido estudo observacional, prospectivo envolvendo 100 olhos de 50 pacientes que apresentavam ceratocone (KC) bilateral. Tomografia do segmento anterior foi realizada inicialmente quando os pacientes estavam em posição de repouso e imediatamente depois, no curso de VM. Imagens de Scheimpflug foram feitas usando Pentacam®. Resultados: A média de idade dos participantes foi 24,14 ± 6,59 anos de idade. Dos olhos incluídos no estudo, 7% apresentava KC estágio 1,47% apresentava estágio 2,32% apresentava estágio 3, e 14% apresentava estágio 4. Índices de KC não foram significativamente afetadas pela VM. Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas com o estágio do KC, e o índice médio de progressão paquimétrica durante a VM. O diâmetro da pupila (PD) mostrou aumento estatisticamente significativo durante a VM (p=0,017). Houve diminuição estatisticamente significativa na medida do ângulo da câmara anterior durante a VM (p=0,001). O poder máximo de curvatura anterior da córnea no KC estágio 4 diminuiu mais do que os outros estágios durante o VM (p=0,014). Conclusões: Não foram encontradas alterações nos índices KC e no estágio da doença por causa da VM. Verificou-se que houve aumento na PD e uma diminuição no valor do ângulo da câmara anterior. Estas alterações foram comparáveis aos valores obtidos a partir de estudos realizados em córneas normais.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate the effects of the Valsalva maneuver (VM) on optic disc morphology, choroidal thickness, and anterior chamber parameters. Methods: This prospective observational study included 60 eyes of 60 healthy subjects. The anterior chamber parameters, including central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber angle (ACA), anterior chamber volume (ACV), pupil diameter (PD), axial length (AL), subfoveal and peripapillary choroidal thickness, optic disc parameters, and intraocular pressure (IOP), were measured at rest and during VM. Results: VM did not have any significant influence on AL, subfoveal and peripapillary choroidal thickness, optic disc area, rim area, cup area, cup-to-disc area ratio, vertical cup-to-disc ratio, rim volume, cup volume, and nerve head volume measurements (for all; p >0.05). IOP and PD significantly increased during VM (for both; p <0.001). VM significantly decreased CCT, ACD, ACA, and ACV values (for all; p <0.001). Moreover, the optic nerve cup volume decreased and the horizontal cup-to-disc ratio significantly increased during VM (for both; p <0.05). Conclusions: VM may cause transient changes in IOP, optic disc morphology, and anterior chamber parameters.


RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar os efeitos da manobra de Valsalva (VM) sobre a morfologia do disco óptico, a espessura da coroide e parâmetros câmara anterior. Métodos: Estudo observacional, prospectivo incluiu 60 olhos de 60 indivíduos saudáveis. Os parâmetros da câmara anterior, incluindo da espessura central da córnea (CCT), profundidade da câmara anterior (ACD), ângulo da câmara anterior (ACA), volume de câmara anterior (ACV), diâmetro da pupila (PD), comprimento axial (AL), espessura da coroide subfoveal e peripapilar, parâmetros de disco óptico e pressão intraocular (IOP) foram medidos em repouso e durante VM. Resultados: A VM não apresentou influência significativa em AL, espessura da coroide subfoveal e peripapilar, área de disco óptico, área da rima neural, área da escavação, relação da área escavação-disco, a relação vertical escavação-disco, volume da rima neural, volume da escavação, medidas de volume cabeça do nervo (para todos; p >0,05). IOP e PD aumentaram significativamente durante VM (para ambos; p <0,001). A VM diminuiu os valores CCT, ACD, ACA e ACV significativamente (para todos; p <0,001). Além disso, o volume da escavação do nervo óptico diminuiu e a razão horizontal escavação-disco aumentou significativamente durante VM (para ambos; p <0,05). Conclusões: A VM pode causar alterações transitórias na pressão intraocular, na morfologia do disco óptico e em parâmetros câmara anterior.

RESUMEN

Supporting patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), using a protective mechanical ventilation strategy characterized by low tidal volume and limitation of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is a standard practice in the intensive care unit. However, these strategies can promote lung de-recruitment, leading to the cyclic closing and reopening of collapsed alveoli and small airways. Recruitment maneuvers (RM) can be used to augment other methods, like positive end-expiratory pressure and positioning, to improve aerated lung volume. Clinical practice varies widely, and the optimal method and patient selection for recruitment maneuvers have not been determined, considerable uncertainty remaining regarding the appropriateness of RM. This review aims to discuss recent findings about the available types of RM, and compare the effectiveness, indications and adverse effects among them, as well as their impact on morbidity and mortality in ARDS patients. Recent developments include experimental and clinical evidence that a stepwise extended recruitment maneuver may cause an improvement in aerated lung volume and decrease the biological impact seen with the traditionally used sustained inflation, with less adverse effects. Prone positioning can reduce mortality in severe ARDS patients and may be an useful adjunct to recruitment maneuvers and advanced ventilatory strategies, such noisy ventilation and BIVENT, which have been useful in providing lung recruitment.


O suporte a pacientes com a Síndrome do Desconforto Respiratório Agudo (SDRA), realizado com baixos volumes correntes e limite da pressão positiva ao final da expiração (PEEP), é o padrão ouro no tratamento de pacientes internados em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva. No entanto, essas estratégias podem promover o desrecrutamento pulmonar levando ao fechamento e reabertura cíclicos de alvéolos colapsados e de pequenas vias aéreas. As manobras de recrutamento (MR) podem ser usadas em conjunto a outros métodos, como a PEEP e posicionamento dos pacientes, para promover melhora no volume pulmonar aerado. Diversos métodos são utilizados na prática clínica, mas o mais adequado e a seleção de qual paciente se beneficiaria de MR ainda não estão estabelecidos. Além disso, ainda permanecem consideráveis incertezas em relação a adequação da MR. Esta revisão objetiva discutir as últimas descobertas acerca das MR existentes e compará-las no que tange a suas eficácias, indicações e complicações. Descobertas recentes incluem evidencias clínicas e experimentais que a manobra de recrutamento em "STEP" pode promover uma melhora do volume pulmonar aerado e reduzir o impacto biológico observado na insulflação sustentada tradicionalmente usada. O posicionamento em prona pode reduzir a mortalidade em pacientes com SDRA grave e ser um coadjuvante nas manobras de recrutamento e estratégias ventilatórias avançadas como a ventilação variável e o BIVENT tem se mostrado úteis em proporcionar recrutamento pulmonar.

RESUMEN

Although aortic annular abscess and rupture of the sinus of Valsalva are known as complications of infective endocarditis, few cases in children have been reported. We report a surgical case of a 6-year-old girl with active infective endocarditis complicated with an annular abscess and pseudoaneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva. The patient presented progressive symptoms of heart failure and a subsequent echocardiogram demonstrated severe aortic regurgitation. A computed tomography indicated pseudoaneurysm of sinus of Valsalva and an emergency operation was performed. At operation, a bicuspid aortic valve with vegetation was noted. The annular abscess caused a large tissue defect of the left coronary sinus of Valsalva and formed a pseudoaneurysm. The infected lesion was resected completely. The defective aortic annulus and sinus of Valsalva were repaired with a bovine pericardial patch and aortic valve was replaced with a mechanical valve. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged after adequate antibiotic treatment.

RESUMEN

Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva (SV) and the atrial septum are a rare association. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman, who was admitted to our department complaining of progressive dyspnea of 10 days of evolution, five hours previous to her admission to the hospital; she presented sudden oppressive anterior chest pain, accompanied by palpitations. The presence of rupture of the right SV to the right atrium was clinically confirmed, by echocardiography and hemodynamic studies. In addition, an associated atrial septal aneurysm was found. She underwent surgical correction through sinusplasty without requiring aortic valve replacement. The patient presented persistent postoperative atrioventricular block, which required a permanent pacemaker. Clinical evolution was satisfactory. To our knowledge, this case is a rare combination of two isolated malformations, without previous events that could explain the rupture of the right SV.


Los aneurismas del seno de Valsalva y del septum interauricular son una asociación rara. Informamos el caso de una mujer de 28 años de edad con un cuadro de disnea progresiva en los últimos 10 días, al cual se agregó dolor precordial opresivo, cinco horas previas a su ingreso. Se comprobó clínicamente, por ecocardiografía y hemodinamia la presencia de ruptura del seno de Valsalva derecho hacia el atrio derecho. Un hallazgo interesante fue la presencia de un aneurisma del septum interauricular asociado. La paciente fue sometida a corrección quirúrgica con plastía del seno de Valsalva, sin requerir reemplazo valvular aórtico. En el postoperatorio presentó bloqueo aurículo-ventricular persistente, requiriendo implante de marcapaso definitivo. Su evolución fue satisfactoria. Este es un caso de una rara asociación de dos malformaciones aisladas.

RESUMEN

Indonesia is an archipelago with many traditional divers, however research on decompression sickness (DCS) has not yet elaborated. The aim of the study was to identify the prevalence of DCS and factors related to it. The study was conducted on October-November 2007 among fisherman moroami divers in Seribu Island Jakarta. Anamnesis and physical examination was taken before and three times after diving. Subject was diagnosed as having DCS if experienced one of these symptom or sign: myalgia, muscle pain, skin rash, ankle weakness, bowel movement & bladder dysfunction, visual disturbances, headache, vertigo, dyspnoe, chest pain, convulsion, unconsciousness, nausea and vomiting. Among 123 potential divers, five were having upper respiratory infection, so only 117 divers participated in this study. Final model analysis showed that regulator, valsava when having ear pain, ascending speed to surface, and lack of training were risk factors to obtain DCS. Divers whose ascending speed more than 9 m per minutes had two times risk to get DCS [adjusted ratio = 2.2; 95% confidence interval (CI)= 1.11 – 3.56]. Having DCS before diving, increased risk 20% (RRa = 1.20; 95% CI = 0.86-1.68; P=0,285). Beside knowledge to use regulator correctly and valsava, fisherman Moroami divers need to be trained to ascend speed to sea level surface less than 9 m per minute.
