RESUMO

Resumen OBJETIVO: Evaluar los desenlaces con la aplicación del balón de Bakri para contener la hemorragia posparto. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio descriptivo, analítico, observacional y retrospectivo efectuado en pacientes atendidas en el Hospital Central, San Luis Potosí, a quienes de enero 2012 a diciembre 2017 se les colocó un balón de Bakri para contener la hemorragia posparto. Se excluyeron los expedientes incompletos y las pacientes a quienes se colocó el balón en otra institución. El análisis estadístico se procesó en una hoja de Excel Office 2013. RESULTADOS: Se realizaron 143 colocaciones del balón de Bakri, 84.06% (n = 121) durante el posparto, 9% (n =13) en la poscesárea y 6.2% (n = 9) durante la cesárea. La colocación del balón se consideró exitosa en 90.2% (n = 129); hubo 14 (9.79%) fallas en el control de la hemorragia que ameritaron otro procedimiento. El 48.9% de las pacientes no tenían factores de riesgo. El promedio de permanencia del balón fue de 20 h. Se registró una muerte obstétrica directa, por choque hipovolémico. CONCLUSIONES: El éxito del balón de Bakri para contener la hemorragia obstétrica fue similar al reportado en la bibliografía. Su aplicación es una estrategia de segunda línea, secundaria a atonía y complicaciones bajas.


Abstract OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcomes with the application of the Bakri balloon to contain postpartum hemorrhage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Descriptive, analytical, observational and retrospective study carried out in patients attended at the Central Hospital in San Luis Potosi who between the months of January 2012 to December 2017 had a Bakri balloon placed to contain postpartum hemorrhage. Incomplete records and patients who had the balloon placed in another institution were excluded. Statistical analysis was processed in an Excel Office 2013 spreadsheet. RESULTS: 143 Bakri balloon placements were performed, 84.06% (n = 121) during postpartum, 9% (n =13) post cesarean section and 6.2% (n = 9) during cesarean section. Balloon placement was considered successful in 90.2% (n = 129); there were 14 (9.79%) failures to control bleeding that warranted another procedure. Of the patients, 48.9% had no risk factors. The average length of stay was 20 hours. One direct obstetric death was recorded, due to hypovolemic shock. CONCLUSIONS: The success of the Bakri Balloon in containing obstetric hemorrhage was similar to that reported in the literature. Its application is a second line strategy, secondary to atony and low complications.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Background: The ideal treatment of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 has yet to be defined, but convalescent plasma (CoPla) has been successfully employed. Objective: The objective of the study was to study the safety and outcomes of the administration of CoPla to individuals with severe COVID-19 in an academic medical center. Methods: Ten patients were prospectively treated with plasma from COVID-19 convalescent donors. Results: Over 8 days, the sequential organ failure assessment score dropped significantly in all patients, from 3 to 1.5 (p = 0.014); the Kirby index (PaO2/FiO2) score increased from 124 to 255, (p < 0.0001), body temperature decreased significantly from 38.1 to 36.9°C (p = 0.0058), and ferritin levels also dropped significantly from 1736.6 to 1061.8 ng/ml (p = 0.0001). Chest X-rays improved in 7/10 cases and in 6/10, computerized tomography scans also revealed improvement of the lung injury. Decreases in C-reactive protein and D-dimer levels were also observed. Three of five patients on mechanical ventilation support could be extubated, nine were transferred to conventional hospital floors, and six were sent home; two patients died. The administration of CoPla had no side effects and the 24-day overall survival was 77%. Conclusions: Although other treatments were also administered to the patients and as a result data are difficult to interpret, it seems that the addition of CoPla improved pulmonary function.

RESUMO

Resumen ANTECEDENTES La incidencia de acretismo placentario se ha elevado en países industrializados debido al incremento en la tasa de cesáreas. La ruptura prematura de membranas pretérmino se asocia con complicaciones en 3% de todos los embarazos. En la actualidad no existen publicaciones que documenten la atención médica de ambas alteraciones en conjunto. CASO CLÍNICO Paciente de 31 años, en curso del segundo embarazo (30.2 semanas de gestación), que acudió al servicio médico por salida de líquido transvaginal. Se confirmó la ruptura prematura de membranas pretérmino por cristalografía y determinación de microglobulina alfa 1 placentaria por tira reactiva Amnisure®. La valoración de los médicos del servicio de Medicina Materno-Fetal fue: placenta previa total, con lagunas placentarias y flujo turbulento, grosor miometrial menor de 1 mm y pérdida de la interfase deciduomiometrial. Después de comprobar el bienestar fetal se inició el tratamiento conservador de la ruptura prematura de membranas pretérmino. Se decidió finalizar el embarazo a las 31 semanas, debido a que se confirmó el inicio del trabajo de parto y actividad uterina normal; se efectuó cesárea-histerectomía sin complicaciones maternas. CONCLUSIÓN La placenta previa total con datos de acretismo, concomitante con ruptura prematura de membranas pretérmino, es una complicación poco común. Estas pacientes deben recibir tratamiento conservador y adecuada vigilancia materno-fetal. A pesar de los buenos resultados obtenidos en este caso, se requiere mayor evidencia para indicar el tratamiento conservador en estas pacientes.


Abstract BACKGROUND The incidence of placental accreta has increased in industrialized countries, due to the increase in the rate of cesarean sections. On the other hand, the premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), complicate approximately 3% of all pregnancies and is associated mainly with neonatal complications related to prematurity. At present, there is no documented evidence in the medical literature of the approach of both pathologies together. CLINICAL CASE 31-year-old woman at 30.2 weeks' gestation in her second pregnancy is admitted to the hospital with vaginal discharge. PROM is confirmed by fern-type crystallization and quantification of placental alpha macroglobulin-1 (PAMG-1) microglobulin by Amnisure® test strip. Medical assessment is performed by the maternal-fetal specialists, finding complete placenta praevia with the presence of vascular lacunae with turbulent lacunar flow, myometrium thickness < 1mm and loss of the clear space. Fetal well-being is confirmed and conservative management of PPROM is initiated. Obstetric delivery is conducted at 31 weeks of gestation with Caesarean section - Hysterectomy without complications. CONCLUSIONS The premature rupture of membranes in presence of placenta accreta is a rare complication. In this patients, conservative management is a suitable alternative, with an appropriate maternal and fetal surveillance. More evidence is required to indicate the conservative treatment in these patients.

RESUMO

Resumen OBJETIVO Revisar la experiencia con el traje antichoque no neumático y su integración a los protocolos de atención médica de la paciente con hemorragia obstétrica. MÉTODO Estudio retrospectivo consistente en la búsqueda de artículos en español e inglés que aluden a la hemorragia obstétrica y al traje antichoque no neumático indizados en las bases de datos de PubMed, Cocharne, Embase, Ebsco y Lilacs que reunieran los siguientes requisitos: contenter los términos relacionados: traje antichoque no neumático, non-pneumatic anti-shock garment, hemorragia posparto, postpartum haemorrhage, hemorragia obstétrica, obstetric haemorrhage, choque hipovolémico, hipovolemic shock. CONCLUSIONES La hemorragia obstétrica sigue siendo una de las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad materna. La innovación e integración de fármacos y tecnologías, acompañadas de la acumulación de experiencia son decisivas en la resolución de las complicaciones maternas. Está ampliamente demostrada la efectividad y seguridad del traje antichoque no neumático en el tratamiento de la hemorragia obstétrica; sin embargo, hoy día poco se ha utilizado en México.


Abstract OBJECTIVE Conduct a review of the results of the NASG/TANN and its integration into the management of obstetric hemorrhage protocols. Disseminate knowledge of its effectiveness, characteristics, indications, and appropriate use through continuing medical education activities. METHOD Research was conducted on the existence of items that meet the following requirements: Reviewed both English and spanish terms associated with the non-pneumatic anti-shock suit (NASG/TANN). Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH). Hemorragia postparto. Obstetric hemorrhage (HO). Hemorragia obstétrica. Hypovolemic shock, Choque hipovolémico, whether published in English or Spanish, with reference to human patients. Analysed all the items found in Spanish and English in the following search engines: PubMed, Cocharne, Embase, Ebsco, and Lilacs; and all that reveal a relation between obstetric hemorrhage and the non-pneumatic anti-shock costume. None has been published in a Mexican journal. CONCLUSIONS Obstetric hemorrhage continues to be one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Innovation and integration of drugs and technology, accompanied by the acquisition of proficiency in their use, have been and are fundamental to the management of maternal complications. There is enough scientific evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of the non-pneumatic anti-shock garment in the management of obstetric hemorrhage; unfortunately, up to the present, little has been implemented in Mexico.

RESUMO

Resumen OBJETIVO Determinar la prevalencia de la morbilidad materna extrema en un hospital de segundo nivel de atención de San Luis Potosí. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS Estudio retrospectivo y transversal efectuado en pacientes obstétricas de cualquier edad gestacional atendidas en el servicio de Ginecología y Obstetricia del Hospital Central Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto de San Luis Potosí entre el 1 de enero y el 31 de diciembre de 2016 que cumplieron con criterios de morbilidad materna extrema para la inclusión en los indicadores de salud de la OMS. Se identificaron variables epidemiológicas y obstétricas y el análisis estadístico descriptivo se realizó con medidas de tendencia central. RESULTADOS Durante el periodo de estudio se registraron 4691 recién nacidos vivos. Del total de pacientes ingresadas al servicio, 383 pacientes cumplieron con 1 o más criterios de morbilidad materna extrema y 21 se excluyeron por no contar con un expediente clínico completo y no ser posible verificar el diagnóstico de ingreso y egreso. Cumplieron uno o más criterios de morbilidad materna extrema 362 pacientes, que corresponde a una prevalencia de morbilidad materna extrema de 7.7% tomando en cuenta cualquiera de los tres grupos de clasificación. La razón de morbilidad materna extrema calculada fue de 77.1 por cada 1000 recién nacidos vivos. Solo 17% (n = 62) de las pacientes ingresó a cuidados intensivos para su atención. CONCLUSIONES Los resultados de este estudio están dentro de los límites de prevalencia reportados en la bibliografía. Es importante continuar con el reporte y publicación de estos casos para estudiar y mejorar el proceso de atención de estas pacientes y evitar el incremento de la mortalidad materna.


Abstract OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of near miss patients in a secondary care level hospital in San Luis Potosí. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective and cross-sectional study was made in obstetricians patients of any gestational age attended in the Gynecology and Obstetrics service of the Central Hospital Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto of San Luis Potosí among the January 1 and December 31, 2016 that met the morbidity criteria maternal health for inclusion in WHO health indicators. They were identified epidemiological and obstetric variables and the descriptive statistical analysis is performed with measures of central tendency. RESULTS During the study period, 4691 live newborns were registered. Of the total number of patients admitted to the service, 383 patients met 1 or more criteria of extreme maternal morbidity, and 21 were excluded because they did not have a file complete clinical and not be possible to verify the diagnosis of admission and discharge. Met one or more criteria of extreme maternal morbidity 362 patients, who corresponds to a prevalence of extreme maternal morbidity of 7.7% considered any of the three classification groups. The maternal extreme morbidity ratio calculated was 77.1 per 1000 live births. Only 17% (n = 62) of the patients was refereed an intensive care. CONCLUSION The results we obtained in this study are equivalent to the ones mentioned in the already published literature. It's important to continue with this kind of studies in order to get a better medical approach of these problems and thus avoid the raise in maternal deaths.

RESUMO

Introducción: El reposo prolongado en cama y la disminución de la actividad física en los adultos mayores representan un factor predisponente al desarrollo o al agravamiento de ciertas condiciones patológicas relacionadas en mayor medida con los sistemas cardiovascular, respiratorio y musculoesquelético, en donde hasta el 33% de los adultos mayores hospitalizados presentarán deterioro funcional en al menos una de las actividades de la vida diaria y se incrementa a acerca del 50% cuando superan los 80 años de edad. Objetivo: Describir los principales efectos del reposo en cama sobre los principales sistemas que pudiesen generar un decline funcional en el adulto mayor hospitalizado. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en las bases de datos Pubmed, Scielo y Pedro. Resultados: La información obtenida se organizó de acuerdo a los sistemas corporales principalmente involucrados en el reposo prolongado. Se encontró que la falta de movilidad en adultos mayores provoca un desacondicionamiento físico, además de un agravamiento de la enfermedad que lo llevo a la residencias hospitalarias conllevando a un aumento de los días de hospitalización. Conclusiones: el reposo en cama puede ser minimizado tanto como sea posible y puede ser prescrita una recuperación ambulatoria y actividad física para limitar los efectos de desacondicionamiento del reposo en cama.


Introduction: Prolonged bed rest and decreased physical activity in the elderly represent a predisposing factor to the development or worsening of certain pathological conditions most closely related to the cardiovascular, respiratory and musculoskeletal systems. Functional impairment in less than the activities of daily living and increase by about 50% when they are over 80 years of age. Objective: To describe the main effects of bed rest on the main systems that could generate a functional decrease in the elderly hospitalized. Methodology: A bibliographic review was performed in Pubmed, Scielo and Pedro databases. Results: The information obtained was organized according to the body systems mainly involved in prolonged rest. It was found that the lack of mobility in older adults causes a physical deconditioning, in addition to an aggravation of the disease that leads to hospital residences with an increase in the days of hospitalization. Conclusions: bed rest can be minimized as much as possible and may prescribe an outpatient recovery and physical activity to limit the effects of deconditioning of bed rest.

RESUMO

Introducción: La bronquiolitis de tipo viral es la patología respiratoria más común en menores de 1 año, siendo el virus respiratorio sincitial (VRS) el principal agente infeccioso involucrado con cerca del 80% de los casos. Objetivo: Determinar la eficacia de las diferentes técnicas de fisioterapia respiratoria en la reducción del puntaje en la escala de severidad y la mejora de los parámetros fisiológicos en lactantes con bronquiolitis. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática en las bases de datos: PEDro, SciELO y Medline. Fueron incluidos ensayos controlados aleatorios con pacientes diagnosticados con bronquiolitis. Se seleccionaron artículos publicados entre el 1 de enero de 2006 hasta el 29 de septiembre de 2016, tanto en lengua española como inglesa. La selección de estudios se realizó de manera independiente, no cegada por 2 revisores, y se llevó a cabo una clasificación de los estudios mediante la escala PEDro. Resultados: Se encontraron 140 artículos que potencialmente podrían incluirse a este trabajo. Al determinar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, solo se seleccionaron 10 artículos para su análisis. Conclusiones: Existe evidencia moderada a favor del uso de la nebulización hipertónica al 3% en lactantes con bronquiolitis para disminuir la estancia hospitalaria y la puntuación de severidad; evidencia moderada a favor del uso de técnicas de modificaciones de flujo espiratorio en lactantes con bronquiolitis para disminuir la puntuación de severidad y evidencia moderada en contra del uso de las técnicas de percusión y vibraciones para disminuir la estancia hospitalaria y puntuación de la severidad (AU).


Introduction: The bronchiolitis of viral guy is the respiratory pathology more common in under 1 year, being the respiratory syncytial virus (VRS) the main infectious implicated agent with close to 80 % of the cases. Objective: To determine the efficacy of the different Chest physiotherapy in reducing the score on the severity scale and improving the physiological parameters in infants with bronchiolitis. Materials and Methods: A systematic review was carried out in the databases PEDro, Scielo and Medline. We included controlled, randomized trials with patients diagnosed with bronchiolitis. We chose articles published in the period from January 1st 2006 and September 29, 2016, both in Spanish and in English. The studies compilation was performed in an independent way, not blinded by 2 reviewers, and the studies were classified using the PEDro scale. Results: We found 140 articles that potentially might be included in this work. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 10 articles were chosen for the analysis. Conclusions: There is moderate evidence in favor of the use of nebulized 3% hypertonic in infants with bronchiolitis to reduce hospital stay and severity score; moderate evidence in favor of the use of expiratory flow modification techniques in infants with bronchiolitis to decrease the severity score and moderate evidence against the use of percussion and vibrations techniques to decrease hospital stay and severity score (AU).

RESUMO

RESUMEN ANTECEDENTES: la hemorragia obstétrica sobreviene en 3% de los nacimientos y en Estados Unidos es responsable de 18% de las causas de muerte obstétrica. En 2012 fue la segunda causa de muerte materna en México. La predicción del riesgo de hemorragia es compleja porque solo 40% de las pacientes tiene algún factor de riesgo identificado. La conducta activa del tercer periodo del trabajo de parto es la única medida útil demostrada por diferentes estudios para prevenir la hemorragia. OBJETIVO: determinar la tasa de hemorragia e histerectomía obstétricas y muertes maternas relacionadas. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: estudio retrospectivo y descriptivo efectuado mediante el análisis de los expedientes clínicos de pacientes atendidas de parto o cesárea en el Hospital Central Ignacio Morones Prieto de San Luis Potosí, SLP, entre los meses de enero de 2011 a octubre de 2015, y que tuvieron hemorragia o histerectomía obstétricas. Criterios de inclusión: pacientes con diagnóstico de hemorragia e histerectomía obstétricas y muerte materna en este hospital. Criterios de exclusión: hemorragias o histerectomías efectuadas en otros hospitales y expedientes incompletos. RESULTADOS: se atendieron 27,158 nacimientos; de estos 19,569 por parto y 7,589 por cesárea (28%). Se registraron 657 casos de hemorragia (tasa 2.4) y 58 histerectomías obstétricas. Las principales causas de la hemorragia obstétrica fueron: atonía uterina (36.2%), acretismo placentario (32.7%) y placenta previa más acretismo placentario (12%). Hubo 125 ingresos a la unidad de cuidados intensivos por hemorragia obstétrica y una muerte materna relacionada. CONCLUSIONES: la tasa de hemorragia obstétrica de 2.4 es indicativa del incremento en el número de cesáreas y la consecuente asociación con el acretismo placentario que reemplazó a la atonía uterina como primera causa de histerectomía obstétrica.


ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Obstetric hemorrhage occurs in 3% of births. It is responsible for 18% of causes of death in US. In 2012 was the second leading cause of maternal death in Mexico. There is difficulty in predicting the risk of bleeding because only 40% of patients have some risk factor identified. Active management of the 3rd period of labor has been the only useful measure demonstrated by different studies to prevent obstetric hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to determine the rate of obstetric hemorrhage, obstetric hysterectomy and maternal deaths related to our hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study conducting search of medical records of Central Hospital Ignacio Morones Prieto in San Luis Potosi, of women who childbirth attended or cesarean section from January 2011 to October 2015, which presented obstetric hemorrhage, and as hysterectomy for uterine atony. Having as inclusion criteria patients diagnosed with obstetric hemorrhage and obstetric hysterectomy performed in this hospital between the above dates. And searching the number of direct maternal deaths. Exclusion criteria hysterectomies performed in other hospitals and incomplete records. RESULTS: From January 2012 to December 2015 a total of 21.648 births were 19,569 births, 7,589 Caesarean sections, were treated a total of 657 obstetric hemorrhage were presented, with a rate of 2.4 obstetric hemorrhage during the study time. There were 53 obstetric hysterectomies. It is the main cause obstetric hemorrhage: 36.2% uterine atony, 32.7% placenta accreta, and 12% placenta accreta plus placenta praevia. There were 125 income Intensive Care Unit for Obstetric Hemorrhage and 1 maternal death related to it. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of obstetric hemorrhage HCIMP is 2.4 during the study time. The increase in the number of cesareans and subsequent association with acretism has been replacing the uterine atonia as first causa of obstetric hysterectomy in our hospital.

RESUMO

Los pólipos linfangiomatosos son malformaciones congénitas de tipo hamartomatosas caracterizados histológicamente por una proliferación linfática vascular con distintos grados de componente fibroso, adiposo y linfático, cubiertos por un epitelio escamoso. Dado a que se conocen por distintos nombres en la literatura, sólo se han descrito alrededor de 30 casos de pólipos linfagiomatosos como tal. De etiopatogenia desconocida, se presentan como una masa polipoidea o papilomatosa en las amígdalas palatinas, con sintomatología variable. Su diagnóstico definitivo es histológico tras una resección completa. No se han reportado casos de malignización ni recurrencia. En el presente trabajo se reporta el caso de un paciente de 5 años con historia de crecimiento amigdalino bilateral de dos años de evolución. La biopsia definitiva demuestra una poliposis linfangiomatosa de amígdalas palatinas y adenoides.


Lymphangiomatous polyps are hamartomatous congenital malformations. They are histologically characterized by a vascular lymphatic proliferation associated with fibrous, adipose and lymphatic components covered by squamous epithelium. There are only 30 cases described in the literature by the name of lymphangiomatous polyp, since it has multiple denominations. Even though their etiopathogenesis is unknown, their clinical presentation is described as a polypoid mass in the palatine tonsils, which may have multiple manifestations. The diagnosis is made histologically after complete resection. There have not been reports of malignant transformation nor recurrence. We present a case of a five year old patient with history of bilateral palatine tonsil growth. Final biopsy described lymphangiomatous polyps of adenoids and palatine tonsils.

RESUMO

Background: Mortality for acute pancreatitis (AP) in Chile has fluctuated between 7 ana 10% in last years. Aim: To evaluate AP mortality over a period of 20 years in a clinical hospital in Santiago, Chile. Material and Methods: Review of the database of hospital discharges with the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, between 1990 and 2010 and the medical records of those patients. Age, gender, length of hospital stay, surgeries, percutaneous interventions and mortality were registered. To compare the evolution of the disease over time, patients were divided in two groups: those hospitalized between 1990 and 1999 and those hospitalized between 2000 and 2010. Results: We reviewed the records of 1367 patients with a median age of 48 years (48% men). In the first period, 93 of637 (14.6%) patients died, whereas in the second period, 22 of 730 patients died (3.0%). In the first and second period, 41.9 and 25.3% of patients were subjected to surgical procedures. The hospital stay was shorter in the second group, compared with the first (14.2 and 25.9 days respectively). Conclusions: There was a decrease in mortality caused by AP in the last 10 years, probably associated with a better interdisciplinary management of these patients.

RESUMO

Background: Identification of patients at risk for severe disease early in the course of acute pancreatitis (AP) is essential to optimize management and to improve outcomes. Aim: To assess BISAP score as a predictor of severity of AP. Patients and Methods: Retrospective review of AP patients between January 2009 and December 2010. BISAP, APACHE II and Balthazar scores were calculated. Length of stay, local complications, organ failure and mortality were registered. Accuracy of the scoring system for predicting severity was measured by the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC). Results: The medical records of 128 patients, median age 46.5 years (55.5% men), were reviewed. Mean hospital stay was 15 days, 18 patients (14%) had local complications, 7 patients (5.4%) developed organ failure and 2 patients died (1.6%). The AUC for BISAP score to detect organ failure was 0.977 (95% IC 0.947-1.000). A BISAP score > 3 had a sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of 71.4, 99.1, 83.3 and 98.3% respectively. An APACHE II score > 8 had a sensitivity and specificity of 71.5 and 86.8% respectively. The figures for a Balthazar score > 6 were 42.8 and 98.3% respectively. There was a significant correlation between BISAP score and length of hospital stay. Conclusions: BISAP score was a useful method for predicting the severity of PA, with the advantage of being simple and based on parameters obtained on the first day of hospitalization. Its sensitivity and specificity were superior to APACHE II and Balthazar score in this cohort.

RESUMO

El sarcoma de Kaposi (KS por sus siglas en inglés) es una enfermedad similar al cáncer. Se relaciona con la infección del VIH, y se presenta en estadios avanzados de la enfermedad, afectando el 20% de las personas con VIH que no toman medicamentos antirretrovirales. En Pinar del Río existe una baja incidencia de infección por VIH/SIDA. Dada la infrecuencia del Sarcoma de Kaposi se presenta un caso. Paciente de 50 años de edad, que después de un cuadro de dolor en epigastrio comienza con lesiones en la piel similares a hematoma en resolución, con centro más oscuro y nodular, que toman prácticamente todo el cuerpo. El paciente presenta ligera pérdida de peso, pero no prurito, no fiebre, no lesiones en mucosa oral. Se determinó Hb: 112g/l Hto: 0.34l/l Leucocitos: 4.4x10(9)/l. Se encontró aumento de células mononucleares en el diferencial con linfopenia asociada; velocidad de sedimentación, colesterol, transaminasas, función renal y proteínas totales, normales, pero trombocitopenia moderada, acido úrico elevado. En el aspirado medular aparece predominio de linfocitos atípicos, con depresión relativa de las series hematopoyéticas. Gastroscopia, negativa. Biopsia de piel: Compatible con Sarcoma de Kaposi. VIH: tres exámenes durante el estudio con tiempo de intervalo entre ellos 3 meses desde el inicio resultaron negativos. Último examen viral a los 7 meses de iniciado el estudio (positivo) con Western Blot.


Kaposi´s Sarcoma (KS) is a cancer-like disease. It is most frequent related to HIV infection, present in late stages of the disease and affecting 20 % of HIV infected people having no Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). Since in Pinar del Rio Province a low incidence rate of HIV/AIDS is observed , Kaposi´s Sarcoma is very infrequent. A 50 year-old male who after presenting an epigastralgia suffers from hematoma-like skin lesions, in resolution and when palpated the darker center was nodular. These lesions take practically the whole body, observing loss of weight, no fever, no itching, no oral mucosa lesions. Determining Hb: 112 g/l, Hto; 0.34/L, Leukocytes: 4.4 x 4x10(9)/l, increase of mononuclear cells, associated to lymphopenia, but erythrocyte sedimentation rate, seric cholesterol, transaminases, kidney function and total proteins were normal. Moderated thrombocytopenia and high levels of uric acid were observed. In the bone marrow aspiration atypical lymphocytes and relative depression of the hematopoietic series prevailed. Gastroscopy was negative. Skin biopsy: Compatible with Kaposi´s Sarcoma. HIV: three exams during the study at 3 months intervals being negative from the beginning. The last viral examination carried out at 7 months after the beginning of the study resulted positive when Western Blot technique was used.

RESUMO

El trabajo es un estudio descriptivo-transversal que aborda problemáticas de cuales son las características sociodemográficas, socio grupales y psicopedagógicas del grupo experimental de Ciencias Médicas en el curso 2005 hasta el 2do semestre del 2007. Se realiza el diagnóstico de la situación actual de estos problemas y el estudio de los referentes teóricos en que se fundamenta. Se propone un sistema de tareas diagnósticas, tomando en consideración una operacionalización en invariantes funcionales realizadas por los autores, teniendo como resultados más significativos; la insatisfacción personal, y en el hogar, el insuficiente hábito y habilidades para el estudio en los estudiantes. El índice de reciprocidad grupal es bajo, resultando un 0.38 lo que nos indica que el grupo ha tardado y aún no funciona con la cohesión de un socio grupo maduro. La poca sistematicidad en el trabajo científico-metodológico y la poca experiencia docente fue otro de los hallazgos encontrados. Esperamos que el diagnóstico nos permita diseñar una estrategia de intervención en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje que permita mejorar los resultados académicos en estos estudiantes de Medicina.


A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out aimed at analyzing the socio-demographic, group and psychopedagogical characteristics of an experimental group in medical studies, this took place during the course 2005 and on the second term of 2007. A diagnosis of the current situation, the study of the theoretical foundations and the analysis of references were conducted. A system of diagnostic tasks was suggested, taking into account a function of variants proposed by the authors. The most significant results were: personal dissatisfaction, and at home insufficient development of habits and skills in the independent work. The rate of group reciprocity is low (0.38), showing a delay on the cohesion as a mature group. The lack of systematization in scientific-methodological work and not having enough teaching experience were the main findings. It is expected the diagnosis allows to design a strategy of intervention in the teaching-learning process, being able to improve the academic results of the medical students.
