RESUMO

Abstract Introduction Augmentation rhinoplasty depends mainly on intact stable bony and cartilaginous parts. Many trials have used different materials as a graft to perform the operation and support the nose. Debate exists whether alloplastic or autogenic grafts are more appropriate. Common available alloplastic grafts include silicone, medpor, and gore-tex. Autogenic grafts are usually derived from costal cartilages. Warping, infection, and hypertrophic scars are the main complications of the procedure. Yet no subgroup analysis has been performed to investigate the effect of different risk factors. Objective To investigate the effect of different types of grafts and the association of the income level of the country on surgery complications. Methods A comprehensive literature search of articles was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and SCOPUS databases through October 2019. We included articles that used autologous or alloplastic grafts in nasal dorsum reconstruction surgery. We performed subgroup analysis according to the type of graft used, region, and income level of the country. A meta-regression analysis model was carried out from the period of 1999-2018, to study the incidence of these complications over time. Results The overall complication rate was 7.1%, which was higher in the alloplastic group (7.8%) than the autogenic group (6.9%). The most common complications were secondary surgery for re-correction (4.1%), infection (2.1%), warping (1.6%), and hypertrophic scars (1.6%). All outcomes were homogeneous (I2 < 50%). Conclusion Patients with autogenic grafts are less liable to develop complications than their peers reconstructed with alloplastic grafts. Moreover, Asian patients are less susceptible to overall rhinoplasty complications. Attention should be noted for low-income countries in which surgical complications are more prone to occur.


Resumo Introdução A feitura de uma rinoplastia de aumento depende principalmente das partes ósseas e cartilaginosas intactas. Muitos estudos usaram enxertos de diferentes materiais para a feitura da cirurgia e como apoio da estrutura nasal. Ainda existem controvérsias em estudos prévios sobre quais tipos de enxertos, se materiais aloplásticos ou autogênicos, seriam os mais adequados. Os enxertos aloplásticos comuns incluem silicone, medpor e gore-tex. Os enxertos autogênicos são geralmente derivados de cartilagens costais. Deformações, infecção e cicatrizes hipertróficas são as principais complicações do procedimento. No entanto, nenhuma análise de subgrupo foi feita para investigar o efeito de diferentes fatores de risco. Objetivo Investigar o efeito de diferentes tipos de enxertos e o nível de renda do país nas complicações cirúrgicas Método Uma pesquisa abrangente de artigos na literatura foi feita nas bases de dados PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science e SCOPUS até outubro de 2019. Foram incluídos artigos que usaram enxertos autólogos ou aloplásticos em cirurgias de reconstrução do dorso nasal. Foi feita uma análise de subgrupos de acordo com o tipo de enxerto usado, região e nível de renda do país. Um modelo de análise de metarregressão foi feito de 1999 a 2018, para estudar a incidência dessas complicações ao longo do tempo. Resultados A taxa global de complicações foi de 7,1%, a qual foi maior no grupo aloplástico (7,8%) do que no grupo autogênico (6,9%). As complicações mais comuns foram cirurgia secundária para recorreção (4,1%), infecção (2,1%), deformidade (1,6%) e cicatrizes hipertróficas (1,6%). Todos os resultados foram homogêneos (I2 < 50%). Conclusão Os pacientes com enxertos autogênicos são menos propensos a desenvolver complicações, em comparação com seus pares com enxertos aloplásticos. Além disso, pacientes asiáticos são menos suscetíveis a complicações gerais da rinoplastia. Merece atenção o fato de que em países de baixa renda as complicações cirúrgicas são mais propensas a ocorrer.

RESUMO

@#Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections, mainly caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworms, are among the most common intestinal parasites that infect humans. The infections are widely distributed throughout tropical and subtropical countries, including Malaysia, particularly in underprivileged communities. Microscopic and culture techniques have been used as a gold standard for diagnostic techniques. However, these methods yield low sensitivity and specificity, laborious and time-consuming. Therefore, simple, rapid, and accurate alternative methods are needed for the simultaneous detection of STH infections. Although advanced technologies such as real-time multiplex PCR have been established, the use of this technique as a routine diagnostic is limited due to the high cost of the instrument. Therefore, a single-round multiplex conventional PCR assay for rapid detection of four STH species in the fecal sample was developed in this study. To perform the single-round multiplex PCR, each pair of species-specific primers was selected from target genes, including Ancylostoma duodenale (Internal Transcribed Spacer 2; accession No. AJ001594; 156 base pair), Necator americanus (ITS 2; accession No. AJ001599; 225 base pair), Ascaris lumbricoides (Internal Transcribed Spacer 1; accession No. AJ000895; 334 base pair) and Trichuris triciura (partial ITS 1, 5.8s rRNA and partial ITS 2; accession No. AM992981; 518 base pair). The results showed that the newly designed primers could detect the DNA of STH at low concentrations (0.001 ng/μl) with no cross-amplification with other species. This assay enables the differentiation of single infections as well as mixed infections. It could be used as an alternative and is a convenient method for the detection of STHs, especially for the differentiation of N. americanus and A. duodenale.

RESUMO

This study was conducted to evaluate retrospectively 203 patients diagnosed with hydatid cyst disease and treated surgically at two university medical centers between 1999 and 2009 in Tehran, the capital of Iran. Cystic echinococcosis (CE) affected more females 117 (57.6%) than males 86 (42.4%). A remarkable gender difference skewed towards females was observed, and the male/female ratio among CE cases 61 years old was 1.18 and 0.52, respectively. The age of the patients ranged from 8 to 82 years, and the age group 21– 40 years (42.8%) was the most affected. A significantly higher number of hydatid cysts were recorded in the liver than in other sites (P40 years of age (liver/lung ratio >43) than in those <40 years of age (liver/lung ratio 2.8–7.6). Unusual cyst locations in kidneys, brain and pelvic area, followed by spleen and spine was also observed. Single organ involvement was found in 95% of the patients, and was more common in females (55.2%) than in males (39.9%). Housewives had the highest rate of infection (53.5%) followed by labourers with 14.8%, which showed a significant difference (P<0.001). Similarly, urban dwellers was also over-represented among the cases (87% urban vs. 13% rural; P<0.001). In 69.5% of cases there was only one cyst, 16.3% had two cysts, 4.7% with three cysts, and 9.5% had four cysts or more. The results showed that further studies are needed to determine the prevalence, economic impact and risk factors of the disease in the area.
