RESUMEN

RESUMEN Introducción: los injertos óseos constituyen una de las técnicas más utilizadas en la cirugía reconstructiva implantológicas, son muy utilizadas para el reemplazo del hueso perdido por traumatismos, procesos patológicos congénitos o adquiridos y atrofia, son los injertos óseos autógenos o autólogos. Objetivo: caracterizar los pacientes con rebordes atróficos que necesitaron ser rehabilitados en implantología oral como alternativa de tratamiento en la consulta de Cirugía Máxilo Facial del Hospital Universitario "Faustino Pérez" y la Clínica "III Congreso del PCC", municipio Matanzas de septiembre del 2014 a julio de 2016. Material y Método: estudio prospectivo longitudinal. El universo fue de 20 pacientes mayores de 18 años de ambos sexos, que presentaron el diagnóstico de edentulismo parcial y atrofia alveolar. Se determinó por el interrogatorio, el examen clínico y los medios diagnósticos los síntomas y signos que caracterizaron esta entidad. Resultados: los traumatismos alveolares fue la causa que predominó en la pérdida dentaria, en el sexo masculino y en las edades de 18 a 37 años. La zona de mayor afectación fue la región anterior del maxilar superior y predominó la perdida de hueso en altura y en anchura y un gran número de injertos conservaron la cresta alveolar. Conclusiones: el uso de biomateriales en el tratamiento de pacientes con atrofia alveolar junto al injerto óseo fue satisfactorio en pacientes que necesitaron una base de sostén sobre la cual se colocaron los implantes dentales osteointegrados (AU).


SUMMARY Introduction: autogenous and autologous bone grafts are the elective material for replacing bones lost by trauma, congenital or acquired pathologic processes and atrophy. Objective: to characterize patients with atrophic rims needing rehabilitation in oral grafting as an alternative treatment in the Maxilla-Facial Surgery consultation of the University Hospital "Faustino Perez" and the Clinic "III Congreso del PCC", municipality of Matanzas, from September 2014 to July 2016. Materials and Methods: longitudinal prospective study. The universe was 20 patients aged 18 years and older, males and females, who presented the diagnosis of partial lack of teeth and alveolar atrophy. The symptoms and signs characterizing this entity were stated by questioning, physical examination and diagnostic means. Results: alveolar traumas were the predominant cause of dental lost in male patients aged 18-37 years. The most affected zone was the anterior region of the upper maxilla; bone lost in height and width predominated, and a great number of grafts conserved the alveolar crest. Conclusions: the use of biomaterials in the treatment of patients with alveolar atrophy together with bone graft was satisfactory in patients who needed a base support on which to put dental grafts (AU).

RESUMEN

Resumen Introducción: Los estrógenos conjugados vía vaginal para aliviar la atrofia y sequedad vaginales pueden producir cambios endometriales. Objetivo: Conocer el efecto de la frecuencia de aplicación de estrógenos conjugados vía vaginal en el grosor endometrial en mujeres posmenopáusicas. Método: Se estudiaron 70 mujeres posmenopáusicas con sequedad vaginal que recibieron estrógenos conjugados en crema (0.625 mg/1 g) durante 12 semanas divididas de la siguiente manera según la frecuencia de aplicación: grupo 1, dos veces por semana (n = 35) y grupo 2, tres veces por semana (n = 35). Al inicio y final del tratamiento se determinó el valor estrogénico en la citología vaginal y se realizó ultrasonido endovaginal para medir el grosor endometrial. La comparación entre los grupos se realizó con U de Mann-Whitney y entre los valores pre y postratamiento con prueba de Wilcoxon. Resultados: De 70 mujeres reclutadas solo se estudiaron 38 mujeres, 19 en cada grupo, pareadas por valor estrogénico inicial. No se encontró diferencia entre los grupos, ni antes ni después del tratamiento, en el índice de maduración, valor estrogénico ni grosor endometrial. Conclusión: No hubo diferencias en el grosor endometrial entre las distintas frecuencias de aplicación de estrógenos conjugados en crema.


Abstract Introduction: Conjugated estrogens, when used by the vaginal route for the relief of vaginal dryness and atrophy, can produce endometrial changes. Objective: To know the effect of vaginal conjugated estrogens application frequency on endometrial thickness in postmenopausal women. Method: Seventy postmenopausal women with vaginal dryness who received conjugated estrogen cream (0.625 mg/1 g) for 12 weeks were studied. The women were divided according to application frequency as follows: group 1, twice-weekly (n = 35), and group 2, thrice-weekly (n = 35). At baseline and at end-of-treatment, vaginal cytology was examined to determine the estrogenic value, and an endovaginal ultrasound was performed to measure endometrial thickness. The comparison between groups was carried out with Mann Whitney's U-test, and the comparison between baseline and post-treatment values, with Wilcoxon's test. Results: Of 70 recruited women, only 38 were studied, 19 in each group, paired by baseline estrogenic value. No difference was found between groups, neither at baseline nor after treatment, in the maturation index, estrogenic value or endometrial thickness. Conclusion: There were no differences in endometrial thickness between the conjugate estrogen cream different application frequencies.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) was always considered as a white matter inflammatory disease. Today, there is an important body of evidence that supports the hypothesis that gray matter involvement and the neurodegenerative mechanism are at least partially independent from inflammation. Gray matter atrophy develops faster than white matter atrophy, and predominates in the initial stages of the disease. The neurodegenerative mechanism creates permanent damage and correlates with physical and cognitive disability. In this review we describe the current available evidence regarding brain atrophy and its consequence in MS patients.


RESUMEN La esclerosis múltiple (EM) fue considerada históricamente como una enfermedad inflamatoria de la sustancia blanca. Hoy en día hay mucha evidencia que apoya, además, el compromiso de la sustancia gris y los mecanismos neurodegenerativos, que son al menos parcialmente independientes de la inflamación. La atrofia de la sustancia gris se desarrolla más rápido que la atrofia de la sustancia blanca y predomina en las etapas iniciales de la enfermedad. El mecanismo neurodegenerativo, crea un daño permanente y se correlacionaría con la discapacidad física y cognitiva del paciente. En esta revisión, se describe la evidencia disponible actual con respecto a la atrofia cerebral y su consecuencia en los pacientes con EM.

RESUMEN

El absceso perirrenal es una entidad infrecuente donde la presentación insidiosa y variable favorece el retraso del diagnóstico reportándose una mortalidad de 39-50 por ciento. Nuestro objetivo es presentar y analizar una paciente con absceso perirrenal que recidivó, con énfasis en el tratamiento y diagnóstico. PRESENTACIÓN DEL CASO: Mujer de 56 años consulta en Hospital Regional de Antofagasta por síntomas urinarios de un mes de evolución, reciente aparición de dolor en zona lumbar y fiebre. Se realiza tomografía computarizada: hipodensidad en espacio perirrenal e hiperdensidad en pelvis renal diagnosticándose cálculo coleriforme en pelvis renal y absceso perirrenal. Paciente evoluciona hipotensa: 72/40 mm Hg, posteriormente se realiza lumbotomía exploradora, drenaje e inicio de terapia antibiótica evolucionando favorablemente. Diez días después, vuelve a consultar por sensación febril, eritema y aumento de temperatura local en cicatriz operatoria. Se realiza drenaje percutáneo y tratamiento antibiótico no focalizado debido a urocultivos negativos. Paciente progresa asintomática, con clara reducción deabsceso. La función renal es evaluada con cintigrama informando exclusión funcional renal izquierda, indicándose nefrectomía izquierda. Paciente responde de forma adecuada a antibióticos y procedimientos quirúrgicos dándose de alta. DISCUSIÓN: El absceso perirrenal es una entidad poco sospechada, infrecuente y de difícil manejo donde el diagnóstico precoz adquiere vital importancia. A pesar de lo que recomienda la literatura en casos de abscesos de gran tamaño, el drenaje percutáneo fue efectivo sin recidiva. Como en nuestro caso, la recidiva de esta patología suele ser frecuente por tanto recomendamos evaluar con precisión el tratamiento y el alta del paciente...


The peritoneal abscess is an infrequent entity, the insidious and variant presentation favors delay on the reporting diagnosis with a mortality rate of 39-50 percent. CASE REPORT: A 56 years-old woman with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections asks for help due to urinary-related symptoms, fever and lower back pains. A computed tomography(CT) is performed: hypodensity in the perirenal space and hyperdensity in the renal pelvis. A coral shaped calculus in the renal pelvis along with perirenal abscess is diagnosed. The Patient evolves on a hypotensive way, this is followed the realization of a lumbotomy incision, drainage and antibiotic therapy. Evolving favorably, she is discharged. Ten days later, she consulted again due to a feverish sensation, erythema and increased local temperature on the operation scar. A percutaneous drainage is performed along with the initiation on a non-focal antibiotic treatment due to negative urine culture. The patient progressed asymptomatically with a clear reduction of the abscess. Renal function was evaluated with a reported scintigram process of the left kidney. Left nephrectomy is pointed out. The patient responds appropriately to the antibiotic therapy and surgical procedures. she was discharged being summoned to the urology clinic. DISCUSSION: The perirenal abscess is a rare and unwieldy entity, where an early diagnosis is imperative. Despite what the literature recommends in cases of large abscesses, percutaneous drainage was effective without recurrence. As in our case, the recurrence of this condition is usually prevalent therefore recommend to accurately assess treatment and patient discharge...

RESUMEN

Background & objectives: Ascent to high altitude has been reported to cause hippocampal atrophy and cognitive impairment in mountaineers. We assessed the cognitive performance and probable occurrence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in acclimatized lowlanders (ALL) staying at altitudes above 4,300 m for duration above 12 months and validated a multi-domain cognitive screening test (MDCST) for future demographic studies on MCI. Methods: Following evaluation of sensitivity and correlation of the newly developed MDCST battery with Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scores on a group of 28 individuals, the MDCST battery was validated on a population of 843 ALL staying at high altitude MSL >4,300 m and 862 subjects staying at MSL <230 m. EEG recordings were performed on 840 ALL staying at altitudes above 4,300 m and 743 control subjects staying at MSL <230 m. Results: Percentage prevalence of MCI was 4.18 per cent in the ALL population as assessed by MMSE while that of the LL population was <0.42 per cent. The percentage prevalence of MCI based on calculations from the MDCST scores was 12.4 per cent in the ALL population as compared to 1.19 per cent in the LL population. Decrease in alpha wave amplitude at the T3 and T4 sources in MCI subjects was observed in LL group while there was an increase in amplitude for alpha wave in these regions in the ALL groups. Domain specific MDCST showed decline in immediate recall, procedural memory and mind body co-ordination which was negligible in the LL population. Interpretation & conclusions: MDCST exhibited excellent psychometric properties in terms of sensitivity, and test-retest reliability qualifying it to be used as a more effective cognitive measure for assessment of MCI in demographic studies in comparison to traditional measures. Our findings also showed increased prevalence of MCI in ALL population staying for longer durations at high altitude which is neurophysiologically distinct from MCI leading to Alzheimer's disease.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To assess the incidence of testicular necrosis/atrophy immediately after 1 to 4 hours of 1,080-degree torsion of the spermatic cord, and 60 days after detorsion of the spermatic cord. METHODS: 42 rats were divided in 7 groups. Except for the control group, surgical torsion of the right spermatic cord was performed in all groups (T0). After 1, 2, or 4 hours of torsion, each group underwent either ipsilateral orchiectomy (groups OT1, OT2, and OT4), or detorsion of the spermatic cord and observation for 60 days (groups DT1, DT2, and DT4), before they were evaluated for the presence of testicular necrosis/atrophy. RESULTS: Only one rat (5.5%) in groups OT1, OT2, and OT4 had testicular necrosis, in comparison with six rats (33.3%) in groups DT1, DT2, and DT4 (p=0.04). The incidence of testicular necrosis/atrophy was not different between subgroups T1, T2, and T4, and the control group (p>0.05). There was, however, a tendency toward greater incidence of necrosis/atrophy in the rats in group DT4. CONCLUSION: The incidence of testicular necrosis/atrophy immediately after 1 to 4 hours of 1,080-degree torsion of the spermatic cord is 5.5%, in comparison with 33.3% sixty days after detorsion of the spermatic cord.


OBJETIVO: Avaliar a incidência de necrose/atrofia testicular imediatamente após 1 a 4 horas de torção de 1080 graus do cordão espermático e 60 dias após a destorção do cordão espermático. MÉTODOS: 42 ratos foram separados em 7 grupos. Exceto para o grupo controle, todos os animais foram submetidos à torção operatória do cordão espermático direito (T0). Após 1, 2 ou 4 horas de torção, cada grupo foi submetido a orquiectomia ipsilateral (grupos OT1, OT2 e OT4), ou destorção do cordão espermático e observação por 60 dias (grupos DT1, DT2 e DT4), antes de serem avaliados para a presença de necrose/atrofia testicular. RESULTADOS: Somente um rato (5,5 por cento) nos grupos OT1, OT2 e OT4 apresentou necrose testicular em comparação com 6 ratos (33,3%) nos grupos DT1, DT2 e DT4 (p=0,04). A incidência de necrose/atrofia testicular não foi diferente entre os subgrupos T1, T2 e T4 e o grupo controle (p>0,05). Houve, no entanto, uma tendência a maior incidência de necrose/atrofia nos ratos do grupo DT4. CONCLUSÃO: A incidência de necrose/atrofia testicular imediatamente após 1 a 4 horas de torção de 1080 graus do cordão espermático é de 5,5% em comparação com 33,3% sessenta dias após a destorção do cordão espermático.

RESUMEN

This study analyzed the effects of the unilateral removal and dissection of the masseter muscle on the facial growth of young rats. A total of 30 one-month-old Wistar rats were used. Unilateral complete removal of the masseter muscle was performed in the removal group, and detachment followed by repositioning of the masseter muscle was performed in the dissection group, while only surgical access was performed in the sham-operated group. The animals were sacrificed at three months of age. Axial radiographic projections of the skulls and lateral projections of the hemimandibles were taken. Cephalometric evaluations were made and the values obtained were submitted to statistical analyses. In the removal group, there were contour alterations of the angular process, and a significant homolateral difference in the length of the maxilla and a significant bilateral difference in the height of the mandibular body and the length of the mandible were observed. Comparison among groups revealed significance only in the removal group. It was concluded that the experimental removal of the masseter muscle during the growing period in rats induced atrophic changes in the angular process, as well as asymmetry of the maxilla and shortening of the whole mandible.

RESUMEN

We report the case of a severe head injured 43-year old male patient with a large extradural hematoma, Glasgow Coma Scale 3 and dilated fixed pupils. Patient was promptly submitted to surgical evacuation of the lesion, but remained in persistent vegetative state in the post-operative time. Head computed tomography scans performed before surgery, and at early and late post-operative periods comparatively revealed extreme bilateral cortical atrophy. Late consequences of severe head trauma drastically affect the prognosis of patients, being its prevention, and neuroprotection against secondary injury still a therapeutical challenge for neurosurgeons.


Relatamos o caso de um paciente de 43 anos, com traumatismo cranioencefálico grave, com grande hematoma extradural, Escala de Coma de Glasgow 3 e pupilas fixas e dilatadas. O paciente foi prontamente submetido à evacuação cirúrgica da lesão mas permaneceu em estado vegetativo persistente no período pós-operatório. As TC de crânio realizadas antes da cirurgia e nos períodos pós-operatórios precoce e tardio revelaram comparativamente extrema atrofia cerebral bilateral. As conseqüências tardias do traumatismo craniano grave afetam drasticamente o prognóstico dos pacientes, sendo sua prevenção, e a neuroproteção contra a injúria secundária ainda um desafio terapêutico para os neurocirurgiões.

RESUMEN

OBJETIVOS: Verificar a relação entre alterações anatômicas (drusas duras, drusas moles, hiperpigmentação, neovasos, descolamento do epitélio pigmentado da retina, hipopigmentação e atrofia coriorretiniana) e a sensibilidade à luz em pacientes com degeneração macular relacionada à idade (DMRI); analisar a sensibilidade macular em áreas com ausência de lesões anatômicas nos pacientes com DMRI comparando-as ao grupo de controles, para avaliar a existência ou não de lesão funcional em área sem lesão anatômica. MÉTODOS: Estudo comparativo, descritivo e analítico, de corte transversal. O grupo de casos foi formado por 31 indivíduos portadores de DMRI com idade entre 51 e 88 anos. O grupo de controles ficou composto por 31 indivíduos considerados "sadios", não portadores de DMRI com idade entre 61 e 80 anos. Os grupos foram pareados por sexo e idade. Realizou-se a perimetria macular estática, vermelho-vermelho, com o oftalmoscópio de rastreamento a laser (ORL). Os resultados da perimetria macular foram correlacionados à lesão anatômica identificada no local correspondente pelo laser infravermelho e fotografias coloridas. RESULTADOS: As áreas com neovasos ou atrofia apresentaram sensibilidade significantemente diferente em relação às áreas com ausência de lesões anatômicas nos pacientes com DMRI. Houve perda funcional significativa em áreas com ausência de lesões anatômicas nos pacientes com DMRI em relação ao grupo de controles. CONCLUSÕES: Áreas com neovasos ou atrofia podem ser fatores individuais de piora da sensibilidade macular localizada. Pode ocorrer perda funcional mesmo sem lesão anatômica aparente nos pacientes com DMRI.


PURPOSES: To evaluate the correlation between anatomical changes (hard druses, soft druses, hyperpigmentation, new vessels, detachment of retinal pigment epithelium, hypopigmentation and chorioretinal atrophy) and light sensitivity in patients with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD); analyze macular sensitivity in areas with no anatomical lesions in patients with ARMD and compared them to the control group in order to detect if there was any functional lesion in areas with no anatomical changes. METHODS: A cross-sectional, comparative, descriptive and analytic study was performed. The case group consisted of 31 subjects with ARMD aged between 51 and 88 years. The control group consisted of 31 "healthy" subjects, without ARMD aged between 61 and 80 years. The groups were matched for gender and age. We performed static macular perimetry, red-red, using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO). Results of macular perimetry were correlated with the anatomic lesion identified in the same site by infrared laser and color photographs. RESULTS: Areas with new vessels or atrophy showed a significantly different sensitivity in relation to areas without anatomical lesions in patients with ARMD. There was significant functional loss in areas with no anatomical lesions in patients with ARMD in relation to the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Areas with new vessels or atrophy could be distinct factors for worsening of the localized macular sensitivity. There might be functional loss even in areas with no apparent anatomical changes in ARMD patients.

RESUMEN

Kindler syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder associated with skin fragility. It is characterized by blistering in infancy, photosensitivity and progressive poikiloderma. The syndrome involves the skin and mucous membrane with radiological changes. The genetic defect has been identified on the short arm of chromosome 20. This report describes an 18-year-old patient with classical features like blistering and photosensitivity in childhood and the subsequent development of poikiloderma. The differential diagnosis of Kindler syndrome includes diseases like Bloom syndrome, Cockayne syndrome, dyskeratosis congenita, epidermolysis bullosa, Rothmund-Thomson syndrome and xeroderma pigmentosum. Our patient had classical cutaneous features of Kindler syndrome with phimosis as a complication.

RESUMEN

Paciente de 23 anos de idade, sem história de cardiopatia, desenvolveu endocardite com hemoculturas negativas no 2§ trimestre da 3§ gestaçäoHouve controle da febre com antibioticoterapia, contudo evoluiu com insuficiência cardíaca congestiva conseqüente a insuficicência aórtica grave, tendo sido submetida a substituiçäo de valva aórtica por bioprótese de pericárdio bovino. O período pós-operatório transcorreu sem intercorrências, com alta hospitalar no 42§ dia de internaçäo. Na 39§ semana da gestaçäo, ocorreu parto do tipo cesáreo, sem complicaçöes, inclusive no puerpério. O recém-nascido (apgar 5 no 1§ minuto e 7 no 2§ minuto) apresentou sinais de comprometimento neurológico, caracterizado, a través de tomografia computadorizada no 2§ mês de vida, como decorrente de atrofia cerebral de ocorrência estimada no 2§ trimestre da gestaçäo. Entre as diversas causas possíveis de malformaçäo cerebral, sobressai a influência da circulaçäo extracorpórea


A twenty-three years old woman, without previous heart disease developed endocarditis with negative bloods cultures on the fourth month of her third pregnacy. Fever was controlled through antibiotics, however she developed cardiac insufficiency and was submitted to surgery for replacement of aortic valve with a bioprothesis. The post operative period showed no problems and the patient was discharged on the forty second day after admission. On the thirty nineth week of pregnancy she gave cesarean birth, without complications. The newly born, apgar 5 (I min.) and 7 (5 min) presented signs of neurological problems, characterized on the second month as a cerebral atrophy. Among various possible factors, the most likely would be cardiopulmonary bypass circulation as the maior of the neurological malformation.

RESUMEN

A study on the pathologic findings after recession and resection of extraocular muscles in rabbits was performed. Fibrosis of the extraocular muscles increased with time, which showed no difference between the recessed and resected muscles. Inflammation and foreign body reaction decreased with time, which showed no difference between the recessed and resected muscles. Adhesions of extraocular muscles to the sclera were observed from one month after the operation. The resected muscles showed milder adhesion to the sclera than the recessed ones. The operated extraocular muscles showed atrophies at one month, which showed no difference between the recessed and resected muscles. According to our results, when reoperation is needed, fibrosis of the extraocular muscles after recession and resection should be considered when making a decision on the amount of muscle to be recessed and resected.
