Con el advenimiento de nuevas técnicas quirúrgicas y medicaciones inmunosupresoras la sobrevida de los niños trasplantados mejoró, llegando a la adultez. La continuidad de su tratamiento requiere un proceso planificado que permita su tránsito a un sistema de salud orientado al adulto. El objeto de este trabajo es mostrar la transición a centros de adultos en una cohorte de pacientes trasplantados renales en el Hospital Garrahan, describir sus características clínicas y demográficas, su evolución, y oportunidades de mejora implementadas. Debido a cambios médicos y su abordaje desde la interdisciplina, se dividió a la población en tres periodos: era 1 (1988-1999), era 2 (2000-2009), y era 3 (2010- 2023). En la era 1, 179 adolescentes continuaron su atención médica en un centro de adultos, 212 en la era 2 y 201 en la era 3. En la era 1 el seguimiento estaba coordinado por el nefrólogo de cabecera y eran consultados los servicios de Urología, Servicio Social y Salud Mental. En la era 2, se fortaleció el trabajo en interdisciplina y aún más a partir del 2011. Surgieron centros de trasplante de adultos que recibían adolescentes y médicos dedicados a ellos en forma preferencial. En la actualidad la transición comienza a los 12 años y progresa hasta los 18. El modelo implementado es la transición directa, entre el nefrólogo pediatra y el de adultos, con varias consultas secuenciales en ambos centros. Si bien la sobrevida del paciente e injerto mejoraron, el rechazo, asociado a no adherencia, es una asignatura por mejorar (AU)
With the advent of new surgical techniques and immunosuppressive medications, the survival of transplanted children has improved, allowing them to reach adulthood. The continuity of their treatment requires a planned process that facilitates their transition to an adult-oriented healthcare system. The aim of this study was to examine the transition to adult centers in a cohort of renal transplant patients at Garrahan Hospital, describing their clinical and demographic characteristics, their evolution, and the improvement opportunities implemented. Based on medical changes and the interdisciplinary approach, the population was divided into three periods: era 1 (1988- 1999), era 2 (2000-2009), and era 3 (2010-2023). In era 1, 179 adolescents continued their medical care in an adult center, 212 in era 2, and 201 in era 3. In era 1, follow-up was coordinated by the attending nephrologist with consultations from Urology, Social Services, and Mental Health Services. In era 2, interdisciplinary work was strengthened, and even more so since 2011. Adult transplant centers were created to receive adolescents with physicians dedicated to their care on a preferential basis. Currently, the transition begins at 12 years of age and progresses up to 18. The implemented model involves direct transition between the pediatric nephrologist and the adult nephrologist, with several sequential consultations in both centers. Although patient and graft survival have improved, rejection associated with non-adherence remains an area for improvement

La lactancia materna es fundamental para la salud del infante y se ve influida por diversos factores, entre ellos la salud mental materna. En particular, las madres que tienen síntomas depresivos tienen mayor riesgo de presentar dificultades de lactancia y de interrumpir tempranamente la lactancia exclusiva y la lactancia en general. Por otra parte, la lactancia materna actúa como un factor protector de la salud mental materna en algunas circunstancias, en tanto las dificultades de lactancia tienen un impacto negativo en la salud mental de la mujer. La presente revisión describe algunos de los mecanismos fisiológicos que subyacen al establecimiento y la mantención de la lactancia, asociados a la prolactina, la oxitocina, la dopamina y la serotonina, así como a la experiencia de la lactancia y la presencia de dificultades en esta área, y como estas interactúan con las dificultades emocionales de la madre. Se ofrece un modelo integrativo que considera aspectos hormonales y fisiológicos para comprender la asociación compleja y bidireccional entre el establecimiento de una lactancia exitosa y la salud mental materna.
Breastfeeding is essential for infant health and development. It is influenced by multiple factors, including maternal mental health. In particular, mothers who present depressive symptoms are at greater risk of presenting breastfeeding difficulties and presenting shorter exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding in general. On the other hand, breastfeeding acts as a protective factor for maternal mental health in some circumstances. Also, breastfeeding difficulties have a negative impact on womens mental health. This review describes some of the physiological mechanisms underlying the establishment and maintenance of lactation, associated with prolactin, oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. As well as how the lactation experience and the presence of difficulties in this area interact with the mothers emotional functioning. An integrative model is proposed, which considers hormonal and physiological aspects involved in the complex and bidirectional association between breastfeeding successful establishment and maternal mental health.

Las Leucemias y linfomas constituyen las enfermedades oncológicas más frecuentes en pediatría y las bacteriemias representan infecciones graves en estos pacientes. Objetivos: describir los microorganismos aislados de sangre en pacientes con leucemia aguda o linfoma pediátrico; comparar la incidencia de aislamientos según enfermedad de base; detallar las variaciones en la incidencia de dichos aislamientos y la evolución de su resistencia antimicrobiana. Estudio retrospectivo, observacional. Se incluyeron 823 episodios de bacteriemia en 467 pacientes pediátricos, entre julio-2016 y junio-2022, dividido en tres períodos (período-1: años 2016- 2018, período-2: años 2018-2020, período-3: años 2020-2022). Se aislaron 880 microorganismos: 55,3% gram negativos (GN), 40% gram positivos (GP) y 4,7% levaduras. En GN predominaron: enterobacterias (72%) y en GP: estreptococos del grupo viridans (SGV) (34,1%). Se encontró asociación entre LLA-enterobacterias (p=0,009) y LMA-SGV (p<0,001). Hubo aumento de GN entre los períodos 1 y 3 (p=0,02) y 2 y 3 (p=0,002) y disminución de GP entre 2 y 3 (p=0,01). Se registraron los siguientes mecanismos de resistencia: BLEE (16,4%), carbapenemasas: KPC (2,5%); MBL (2,7%) y OXA (0,2%); meticilinorresistencia en Staphylococcus aureus (20%) y estafilococos coagulasa negativos (95%), vancomicina resistencia en Enterococcus spp. (39%), SGV no sensibles a penicilina (44%) y a cefotaxima (13%). Hubo aumento de MBL entre los períodos 1 y 2 (p=0,02) y una tendencia en disminución de sensibilidad a penicilina en SGV entre el 1 y 3 (p=0,058). El conocimiento dinámico y análisis de estos datos es esencial para generar estadísticas a nivel local, fundamentales para el diseño de guías de tratamientos empíricos (AU)
Leukemias and lymphomas are the most common cancers in children and bacteremia is a severe infection in these patients. Objectives: to describe the microorganisms isolated from blood in pediatric patients with acute leukemia or lymphoma; to compare the incidence of isolates according to the underlying disease; and to detail the variations in the incidence of these isolates and the evolution of their antimicrobial resistance. Retrospective, observational study. We included 823 episodes of bacteremia in 467 pediatric patients seen between July-2016 and June-2022, divided into three periods (period-1: 2016- 2018, period-2: 2018-2020, period-3: 2020-2022). A total of 880 microorganisms were isolated: 55.3% were gram-negative (GN), 40% gram-positive (GP) and 4.7% yeasts. In GN there was a predominance of: enterobacteria (72%) and in GP viridans group streptococci (VGS) (34.1%). An association was found between ALL-enterobacteria (p=0.009) and AML-VGS (p<0.001). There was an increase in GN between periods 1 and 3 (p=0.02) and 2 and 3 (p=0.002) and a decrease in GP between 2 and 3 (p=0.01). The following resistance mechanisms were recorded: BLEE (16.4%), carbapenemases: KPC (2.5%), MBL (2.7%), and OXA (0.2%); methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (20%) and coagulase negative staphylococci (95%), vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus spp. (39%), VGS resistant to penicillin (44%) and to cefotaxime (13%). There was an increase in MBL between periods 1 and 2 (p=0.02) and a decreasing trend in penicillin sensitivity in VGS between periods 1 and 3 (p=0.058). Dynamic knowledge and analysis of these data is essential to generate statistics at the local level, which is fundamental for the design of empirical treatment guidelines (AU)

El cáncer broncogénico tiene una base genética, que se expresa por factores externos relacionados a la exposición medioambiental y laboral, en los últimos años ha cambiado el perfil epidemiológico con incidencia creciente en mujeres sin hábito tabáquico en rangos de 50-70 años. Paciente femenino de 50 años con el antecedente de exposición a humo de leña y uso de pesticidas, con síndrome de atelectasia pulmonar masiva izquierda. Se realizó estudios fibrobroncoscopicos con toma de biopsia de masa tumoral endobronquial izquierda y se realizó la primera criobiopsia por fibrobroncoscopía en Bolivia, posteriormente paciente fue sometida a neumonectomia izquierda con estudio histopatológico concluyente de carcinoma indiferenciado de células pequeñas con primario pulmonar. Existe una fuerte asociación entre la exposición medio-ambiental y laboral y el cáncer broncogénico en pacientes no fumadores, incluso en variantes histopatológicas infrecuentes en este subgrupo como el cáncer de células pequeñas o microcítico.
Bronchogenic cancer has a genetic basis, which is expressed by external factors related to environmental and occupational exposure. In recent years, the epidemiological profile has changed with increasing incidence in women without tobacco habit in ranges of 50-70 years. A 50-year-old female patient with a history of exposure to wood smoke and pesticide use, with massive left lung atelectasis syndrome. Fibrobronchoscopy studies were performed with a biopsy of the left endobronchial tumor mass and the first cryobiopsy was performed by fibrobronchoscopy in Bolivia, later the patient underwent left pneumonectomy with a conclusive histopathological study of undifferentiated small cell carcinoma with a pulmonary primary. There is a strong association between environmental and occupational exposure and bronchogenic cancer in non-smokers, even in infrequent histopathological variants in this subgroup such as small cell or microcytic cancer.

La dentinogénesis imperfecta (DI) es un desorden hereditario de carácter autosómico dominante, que se origina durante la etapa de histodiferenciación en el desarrollo dental y altera la formación de la denti-na. Se considera una displasia dentinaria que puede afectar ambas denticiones con una incidencia de 1 en 6000 a 8000 nacimientos. El tratamiento del pa-ciente con DI es complejo y multidisciplinario, supone un desafío para el odontólogo, ya que por lo general están involucradas todas las piezas dentarias y afec-ta no solo la salud buco dental sino el aspecto emo-cional y psicológico de los pacientes. Objetivo: des-cribir el tratamiento integral y rehabilitador realiza-do en una paciente adolescente con diagnóstico de DI tipo I. Relato del caso: Paciente de sexo femenino de 14 años, que concurrió en demanda de atención a la Cátedra de Odontología Integral Niños de la FOU-BA derivada del Hospital "Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan" con diagnóstico de osteogénesis imperfecta tipo III (OI). Nunca recibió atención odontológica y el motivo de consulta fue la apariencia estética de sus piezas dentarias. Se realizó el examen clínico y radiográfico arrojando el diagnóstico de DI tipo I asociada a OI. Conclusión: El tratamiento rehabilitador de la DI tipo I en los pacientes en crecimiento y desarrollo debe estar dirigido a intervenir de manera integral y tem-prana para resolver la apariencia estética y funcio-nal, evitar las repercusiones sociales y emocionales y acompañar a los pacientes y sus familias (AU)
Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that originates during the histodifferentiation stage of tooth development and alters dentin formation. It is considered a den-tin dysplasia that can affect both dentitions with an incidence of 1 in 6000 to 8000 births. The treatment of patients with DI is complex and multidisciplinary, it is a challenge for the dentist, since in general all the teeth are involved and it affects not only oral health but also the emotional and psychological aspect of the patients. Objective: To describe the comprehen-sive and rehabilitative treatment carried out in an adolescent patient with a diagnosis of DI type I. Case report: A 14-year-old female patient, who required dental attention at the Department of Pediatric Den-tistry of FOUBA and was referred from the Hospital "Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan" with a diagnosis of os-teogenesis imperfecta type III (OI). The patient never received dental care and the reason for consultation was esthetic appearance of her teeth. A clinical and radiographic examination was performed, resulting in a diagnosis of DI type I associated with OI. Conclu-sion: Rehabilitative treatment of DI in growing and developing patients will be aimed at early and com-prehensive intervention to resolve esthetic and func-tional appearance, avoid social and emotional reper-cussions and accompany patients and their families (AU)

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are the most common pathogens causing urinary tract infections in humans and animals. Close contact between humans and companion animals can facilitate the spread of multidrug resistant pathogens between both species. The objective of the research was to characterize extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBL) -producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolated from dogs with urinary tract infections in the metropolitan area of Valle del Aburrá (Antioquia, Colombia). Three-hundred seventy-one urine samples collected from March 2018 to March 2019 in a veterinary clinical laboratory were analyzed. E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates were detected in chromogenic agar and identified by biochemical tests. Susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion and ESBL production was evaluated by the double disk test in all isolates. MIC determination of ESBL-positive isolates were performed on the automated VITEK®2 system. Multiple PCR was used for the detection of CTX-M beta-lactamases (group 1, 2, 9 and 8/25), SHV, TEM, and AmpC of plasmid origin in ESBL-positive isolates. In total 22 out 371 isolates were positive for ESBL production by double disc test, 11 E. coli (ESBL-Ec) and 11 K. pneumoniae (ESBL-Kp). The multiple PCR detected CTX-M group 1 in the 22 ESBL-positive isolates. Multi-drug resistance was observed in all ESBL-producing isolates. In conclusion, a high frequency of antibiotic multi-resistance was found in ESBL-Ec and ESBL-Kp. The main ESBL detected was CTX-M group 1, which also prevails in human isolates.
RESUMEN Escherichia coli y Klebsiella pneumoniae son los patógenos más comunes causantes de infecciones en tracto urinario en humanos y animales. El contacto estrecho con los animales de compañía puede favorecer la diseminación de patógenos multiresistentes entre ambas especies. El objetivo de la investigación fue caracterizar E. coli (Ec -BLEE) y K. pneumo-niae (Kp -BLEE) productores de betalactamasas de espectro extendido provenientes de aislados de caninos con infecciones del tracto urinario del Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá. 371 muestras de orina de caninos colectadas entre marzo de 2018 y marzo 2019 en un laboratorio clínico veterinario fueron analizadas. E. coli y K. pneumoniae se detectaron en agar cromogénico y se identificaron mediante pruebas bioquímicas. La prueba de susceptibilidad se realizó por difusión en disco y la producción de BLEE se evaluó por test de doble disco en todos los aislados. La determinación de la CIM en aislados positivos a BLEE se realizó en el sistema automatizado VITEK®2. Se utilizó PCR múltiple para la detección de betalactamasas tipo CTX-M (grupo 1, 2, 9 y 8/25), SHV, TEM y AmpC de origen plasmídico en aislados positivos a BLEE. Un total de 22 de 371 aislados fueron positivos a BLEE por test de doble disco, 11 E. coli (Ec -BLEE) y 11 K. pneumoniae (Kp-BLEE). La PCR detectó CTX-M grupo 1 en los 22 aislados positivos a BLEE. Se observó multirresistencia en todos los aislamientos productores de BLEE. En conclusión, se encontró una alta frecuencia de multirresistencia en Ec-BLEE y Kp-BLEE. La principal BLEE detectada fue CTX-M grupo 1, que también predomina en aislados humanos.

La enfermedad vascular cerebral (EVC) es una patología caracterizada por un déficit neurológico súbito, secundario a oclusión o ruptura de un vaso sanguíneo cerebral; se divide en isquémica o infarto cerebral (IC) y hemorrágica. La EVC es reconocida como la primera causa de discapacidad y la quinta causa de muerte en México, registrándose cerca de 170 mil casos nuevos al año. Existe amplia evidencia que demuestra una reducción en los desenlaces negativos, como muerte y discapacidad, al realizar intervenciones rápidas, incluyendo la administración de trombolisis intravenosa con rt-PA (activador tisular de plasminógeno recombinante) y trombectomía mecánica. La coordinación multidisciplinaria del equipo de salud y los cuidados efectivos de enfermería, son vitales durante todas las etapas de atención de la EVC. Esta revisión da a conocer un panorama general del manejo del infarto cerebral e identificar las intervenciones indispensables del profesional de enfermería realiza durante las etapas prehospitalarias, pretrombolisis, durante trombolisis y postrombolisis.
Cerebralvascular disease (CVD) is a pathology characterized by a sudden neurological deficit secondary to occlusion or rupture of a cerebral blood vessel; it is divided into ischemic or cerebral infarction (CI) and hemorrhagic. CVD is recognized as the first cause of disability and the fifth cause of death in Mexico, with nearly 170,000 new cases registered each year. There is ample evidence that shows a reduction in negative outcomes, such as death and disability, with rapid interventions, including the administration of intravenous thrombolysis with rt-PA (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator) and mechanical thrombectomy. Multidisciplinary coordination of the health care team and effective nursing care are vital during all stages of CVD care. This review provides an overview of the management of cerebral infarction and identifies essential nursing interventions during the prehospital, prethrombolysis, during thrombolysis, and postthrombolysis stages.

Aim: In the present study, we exploited DNA microarray-based transcriptome analysis and showed overall changes in gene expression in vivo of amoebic trophozoites that interact with animal soluble factors using an intraperitoneal dialysis bag model to elucidate putative molecular pathways and genes involved in this interaction. Study Design: We exploited DNA microarray-based transcriptome analysis. Results: An analysis from a network including the interactions of up-regulated genes and their neighbors revealed the presence of 11 functionally related modules. Six of the modules obtained were related to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions, such as degradation, stress, proteasome-ubiquitination, phosphorylation, lipid metabolism, and protein sorting. Furthermore, major transcriptional changes displayed by the parasite at the beginning of interaction were attributed to the response to the host defense. These data are consistent with the notion that the concerted expression of genes necessary for survival such as increment in protein synthesis, cytoskeleton rearrangement, vesicular traffic and genes involved in cell death including calcium imbalance and the ER signals associated with protein degradation (ERAD) is an overall landscape during the in vivo interaction between the amoebic trophozoites and animal soluble factors, and suggest that the ER stress is one of the main pathways leading to programmed cell death in E. histolytica. Conclusion: The present findings on the global transcriptional changes displayed by the parasite at the early stages of interaction with host environments in peritoneal implantation indicate that a substantial proportion of concerted changes in gene expression in amoebic trophozoites are attributable to the parasite’s response for cell death signals due to ER stress. A detailed knowledge of the underlying molecular mechanism might suggest the efficient elimination of this parasite by promoting their death pathways.

RESUMEN Dientamoeba fragilis es un protozoário que parasita el intestino grueso del hombre y animales domésticos. Hasta el momento, aún no son claros aspectos de su ciclo de vida, como el rango de hospedadores, reservorios, mecanismo de infección, entre otros. Se postula que el cerdo es un hospedador natural para este protozoario y que, debido a su cercanía con el humano, podría facilitar una transmisión zoonótica. En Colombia no existen a la fecha estudios sobre la presencia de D. fragilis en hospedadores animales, incluidos los cerdos, y los datos sobre la prevalencia de otros protozoarios intestinales en estos animales son escasos. El objetivo fue determinar la frecuencia de protozoarios intestinales, incluyendo D. fragilis, en cerdos de una granja tecnificada de una zona rural de Medellín (región Andina de Colombia). Se recolectaron muestras de materia fecal de 70 cerdos en etapa de preceba, que fueron evaluadas mediante examen directo, tinción tricrómica y Ziehl-Neelsen modificado. Se realizaron análisis univariados con medidas de frecuencia relativa y tendencia central y análisis bivariados para la exploración de factores de riesgo. Se detectó la presencia de D. fragilis en un 13% de las muestras y de otros parásitos como Entamoeba spp. (66%), Blastocystis spp. (64%), Balantioides coli (36%), Cryptosporidium spp. (36%), Iodamoeba butschlii (17%), coccidias (4%) y Giardia spp. (1,4%). En este primer reporte de D. fragilis en cerdos en Colombia se observó la alta prevalencia de otros protozoarios patógenos, lo que corrobora el papel de los cerdos como importantes reservorios de infecciones humanas. Estudios sobre la presencia de este protozoario tanto en cerdos como en el personal encargado de su manejo contribuirían al conocimiento sobre su dinámica de transmisión.
ABSTRACT Dientamoeba fragilis is a protozoan that parasitizes the large intestine of humans and domestic animals. To date, some aspects regarding D. fragilis life cycle, including hosts, reservoirs, infection mechanism, among others, are not yet clear. Swine are considered natural hosts for this protozoan, therefore their close contact with humans promotes its zoonotic transmission. In Colombia there are no studies on the presence of D. fragilis in animal hosts, including pigs, and data about other intestinal protozoa are scarce. The objective was to determine the prevalence of intestinal protozoan, including D. fragilis, in pigs raised in a farm from a rural area of Medellin (Andean region of Colombia). Fecal samples from 70 pigs in prefattening stage were collected. Direct fecal smear examination, trichrome and modified Ziehl-Neelsen stain were used in the study. Univariate analysis (frequency distribution and central tendency measures) and bivariate analysis were used to explore risk factors. Dientamoeba fragilis was found in 13% of the evaluated fecal samples. Other parasites detected included: Entamoeba spp. (66%), Blastocystis spp. (64%), Balantioides coli (36%), Cryptosporidium spp. (36%), Iodamoeba butschlii (17%), coccidias (4%), and Giardia spp. (1,4%). This is the first report of D. fragilis in swine in Colombia, and the high prevalence of other pathogen protozoa was also observed, which corroborates the role of pigs as important reservoirs for human infections. Studies focused on the evaluation of both swine and swine-exposed farm workers should be done in order to know the dynamics of transmission of this parasite.

La bacteriemia representa una importante causa de morbimortalidad en pacientes oncológicos. Durante el episodio de neutropenia inducida por quimioterapia, un 15%25% de los pacientes tendrá bacteriemia. Objetivo: identificar factores de riesgo asociados con bacteriemia en pacientes oncológicos pediátricos con neutropenia y fiebre. Material y métodos: estudio de cohorte prospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes con enfermedades hematooncológicas y neutropenia febril, internados en un hospital pediátrico de alta complejidad entre julio de 2018 y mayo de 2019. Se excluyeron receptores de trasplante de médula ósea. Se compararon las características clínicas según se documentara bacteriemia (B) o no. Resultados: Se incluyeron 160 pacientes (p). Eran varones 93 (58%). La mediana de edad fue 81,5 meses (RIC 36-127,5). La enfermedad de base (EB) más frecuente fue: leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LLA) 88 (55%). Se identificaron 20 (12,5%) pacientes con bacteriemia (B). En el análisis univariado hubo asociación entre B y LMA (p=0,003) y la internación en UCI (p=0,0001). En el modelo multivariado, ajustado por el resto de las variables, se identificaron la LMA (OR 8,24, IC95% 2,5-26,4; p<0,001) y la tiflitis (OR 5,86, IC95% 1,2-27,3; p=0,02) como factores relacionados con bacteriemia. Los principales microorganismos identificados fueron: estreptococos del grupo viridans 6 (30%), Escherichia coli 4 (20%) y estafilococos coagulasa negativos 3 (15%). Quince (75%) fueron bacteriemias secundarias a un foco clínico. El foco más frecuente fue el mucocutáneo (n=7, 35%). En esta cohorte de niños con cáncer y neutropenia febril, los factores asociados con bacteriemia fueron: la LMA, la tiflitis y la internación en UCI (AU)
Bacteremia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in oncology patients. During an episode of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, 15%-25% of patients will develop bacteremia. Objective: to identify risk factors associated with bacteremia in pediatric oncology patients with neutropenia and fever. Material and methods: prospective cohort study. Patients with hematology-oncology diseases and febrile neutropenia, admitted to a tertiary-care pediatric hospital between July 2018 and May 2019 were included. Bone marrow transplant recipients were excluded. Clinical characteristics were compared according to whether or not bacteremia was recorded. Results: 160 patients were included of whom 93 (58%) were male. Median age was 81.5 months (IQR 36-127.5). The most common underlying disease was acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in 88 patients (55%). Twenty (12.5%) patients with bacteremia were identified. In univariate analysis, an association was found between bacteremia and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (p=0.003) and ICU admission (p=0.0001). In the multivariate model, adjusted for the remaining variables, AML (OR 8.24; 95%CI 2.5-26.4; p<0.001) and typhlitis (OR 5.86; 95%CI 1.2-27.3; p=0.02) were identified as factors related to bacteremia. The main microorganisms identified were viridans group streptococci in 6 (30%), Escherichia coli in 4 (20%), and coagulase negative staphylococci in 3 (15%). In 15 cases (75%), bacteremia was secondary to a clinical focus. The most frequent focus was mucocutaneous (n=7, 35%). In this cohort of children with cancer and febrile neutropenia, the factors associated with bacteremia were AML, typhlitis, and ICU admission (AU)

La amelogénesis imperfecta (AI) es un grupo de tras-tornos hereditarios, clínica y etiológicamente hete-rogéneos, derivados de mutaciones genéticas, que se caracterizan por anomalías cualitativas y cuanti-tativas del desarrollo del esmalte, pudiendo afectar la dentición primaria y/o permanente. El tratamiento del paciente con AI es complejo y multidiscliplinario; supone un desafío para el odontólogo, ya que por lo general están involucradas todas las piezas dentarias y afecta no solo la salud buco dental sino el aspecto emocional y psicológico de los pacientes. Con el obje-tivo de describir el tratamiento integral y rehabilita-dor realizado en una paciente con diagnóstico de AI tipo III, se reporta el caso de un adolescente de sexo femenino de 13 años, que concurrió en demanda de atención a la Cátedra de Odontología Integral Niños de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (FOUBA), cuyo motivo de consulta fue la apariencia estética y la hipersensibilidad de sus pie-zas dentarias. Durante el examen clínico intraoral, se observó que todas las piezas dentarias presentaban un esmalte rugoso, blando, con irregularidades y una coloración amarronada, compatible con diagnóstico de Amelogénesis Imperfecta tipo III hipomineralizada. Conclusión: El tratamiento rehabilitador de la AI en los pacientes en crecimiento y desarrollo estará diri-gido a intervenir de manera integral y temprana para resolver la apariencia estética y funcional, evitar las repercusiones sociales y emocionales, y acompañar a los pacientes y sus familias (AU)

Introduction: The development of recommendations for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the Cuban context may be one of the ways to achieve better control of this disease. Objective: To reach a consensus and update relevant aspects of conventional and biological RA modifier therapy in Cuba. Methods: 18 specialists from 8 Cuban provinces, experts in RA care, were summoned, according to the years of dedication to the specialty, the conferences on this topic and their publications. The first meeting took place in March 2016 in the provincial hospital of Villa Clara, Cuba, with the participation of all the experts. A review of the literature on conventional and biological therapy previously collected by the participants was developed, and two teams were formed: the first would address everything related to conventional therapy in RA (HRCT) and the other, biological therapy in RA (TBAR). Three questionnaires related to the use of corticosteroids, HRCT and TBAR, were prepared, answered by the participants via email. In a second meeting, held in October 2016 in Havana, the analysis of all the responses provided was carried out. Questions with a response of 90% or more votes were considered as recommendations. Results: The questionnaires were answered by 95% of the participants. 9 recommendations and 1 algorithm were established. The recommendations are as follows: methotrexate is the drug of choice in the treatment of RA after diagnosis; The administration of another conventional drug (DMARDc) (azathioprine, salazosulfapyridine, antimalarials and leflunomide) is recommended in patients with a diagnosis of active RA in whom methotrexate is contraindicated or there is a failure in response - consider the administration of low doses of prednisone or equivalent (<7.5 mg/d) associated with DMARDc in patients with active moderate to severe RA, for the shortest possible time; perform serological control including tests for hepatitis B and C viruses and screening for HIV in all patients diagnosed with RA before starting treatment with DMARDc and biologics; in patients in remission or, at least, with a DAS-28 below 3.2, consideration should be given to withdrawing one of the DMARDs or reducing, to the minimum possible expression, the dose of both disease modifiers; if methotrexate fails, tocilizumab in combination with methotrexate or as monotherapy will be indicated. Conclusions: Aspects related to conventional therapy with methotrexate, azathioprine, salazosulfapyridine, antimalarials and leflunomide were agreed. The value of early diagnosis and immediate initiation of DMARDc therapy and the use of glucocorticoids was analyzed. Treatment with tocilizumab, the only biological available in Cuba against RA, will be administered when there is a failure in the response to conventional therapy and combinations between these drugs. It is recommended to hold educational conferences through the mass media aimed at patientshttp(AU)

Resumen La relación de pareja es una dimensión central de la vida de las personas que repercute en su felicidad y bienestar. Este tema es de interés para diversas disciplinas, teniendo un amplio recorrido en investigación, y ha sido abordado desde diferentes paradigmas y perspectivas de estudio. Con el objetivo de analizar las investigaciones llevadas a cabo sobre relaciones de pareja desde el año 2000 al 2018, se revisan 83 publicaciones localizadas tras una búsqueda exhaustiva en las principales bases de datos. Los resultados apuntan a que la mayoría de las investigaciones optan por una metodología exclusivamente cuantitativa, tienden a emplear instrumentos ya validados, cuentan con muestras de hasta 250 participantes y abordan temas clásicos como la satisfacción, la sexualidad o la comunicación en pareja. La información aportada permite obtener una visión global del tema de estudio y está encaminada a poder replicar, proponer nuevas o ampliar las investigaciones ya realizadas.
Abstract Couple relationships, as the fundamental basis of family relationships, is a crucial dimension within the lives of people that also impacts on their happiness and well-being. These relationships are underpinned by mutual caring and attachment bonds, which, properly developed, entail a source of emotional and social support. This support also contributes to build the identity, improve the social competence, and, ultimately, strengthen own and family well-being. This topic is likely to arouse the interest at a social and scientific level and is addressed from several disciplines such as Psychology, Sociology, Pedagogy, or Social Work. This interest has provided this topic with a broad overview in the related research, being addressed from different paradigms and study prospects. This study is aimed at analyzing the research conducted on couple relationships from 2000 to 2018 in Spanish-speaking countries. Therefore, we present a systematic review of 83 scientific publications retrieved after an extensive search in the main databases (WOS, SCOPUS, Dialnet Plus, Redalyc, and ISOC) and the search engine Google Scholar. Specifically, the study specifies the dimensions and variables that have been the subject of study among these relationships, their objectives and methods (with particular emphasis on the instruments used), and the sample type and size the authors deemed necessary. In addition to the year of publication and the geographical delimitation, it was also included as criteria the publication format (only scientific papers) and papers with a Social Sciences content with topics not related to violence. Results suggest that most researchers follow an entirely quantitative methodology, tend to use validated instruments, have samples up to 250 participants, and address traditional topics such as satisfaction, sexuality, and communication in couples. Also, the predominant trend is to focus on a single thematic content, being lower the presence of studies addressing the interaction between two topics (e.g., satisfaction and communication), and even least common those studies that extend the dimensions analyzed to three or more. Regarding the content, the papers reviewed confirm the thinking that the couple's well-being and their satisfaction has a multicausal nature, which goes beyond the couple, since it includes the influence of the couple's social and cultural context. In this regard, specific socio-demographic characteristics such as having children, gender, and relationship duration seem to have a greater impact and arouse more interest than others. To complement this work, it is also included other topics usually related to how the couples are shaped and the satisfaction perceived, such as, for example, the fear of intimacy and anxiety, the sense of humor, the psychological well-being, and living with a positive family context. Furthermore, the publications addressed allow to locate emerging topics, such as the use of technology and its impact on the couple relationships, and also reveal the absence of studies integrating new structures of couple relationships, like polyamory. In conclusion, this review helps to get a general overview of the topic studied in order to suggest further research or expand the research already conducted. Similarly, the information provided encourages researchers to replicate the studies analyzed with different samples (location, age, sample size, etc.) and with more ambitious methodological design given that, though exceptionally, there are results which buck against the current predominant trends, and to complement this study focused on Spanish-speaking research with English, French and Portuguese publications.
Résumé
RESUMEN: La pandemia de COVID-19 ha provocado importantes retos para el sistema de enseñanza superior. Las medidas adoptadas para prevenir la transmisión comunitaria han desplazado la enseñanza presencial frente a la virtual. Las nuevas prácticas de enseñanza y aprendizaje adoptadas han planteado la necesidad de reforzar la dimensión social del aprendizaje. En este contexto, hemos implementado el uso de WhatsApp para interactuar y compartir contenidos académicos en un pequeño grupo de estudiantes de un curso de Histología. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la percepción de los estudiantes sobre la eficacia de esta red social para facilitar la comunicación y compartir información educativa, su utilidad en el aprendizaje y su capacidad para modificar la dimensión afectiva durante el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Los resultados mostraron que los estudiantes tenían una actitud positiva hacia el uso de WhatsApp en el entorno de aprendizaje, de modo que facilitó la comunicación y la cohesión del grupo, favoreció el aprendizaje y redujo la ansiedad ante la evaluación. Así, las redes sociales deberían integrarse en el proceso de aprendizaje teniendo en cuenta las características del alumnado.
SUMMARY: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant challenges for the higher education system. The adopted measures to prevent community transmission have shifted face-to-face teaching to virtual education. The new adopted teaching and learning practices have raised the need for reinforcing the social dimension of learning. In this context, we have implemented the use of WhatsApp to interact and sharing academic contents in a small group of students in a Histology course. The aim of this study was to evaluate the students' perceptions about the effectiveness of this social network in facilitating communication and sharing educational information, its usefulness in learning, and its ability to modify the affective dimension during the teaching- learning process. The results showed that students had a positive attitude towards the use of WhatsApp in the learning environment, so that it facilitated communication and group cohesion, favored learning and reduced anxiety in the face of evaluation. Thus, social networks must be integrated in learning process considering students' characteristics.
