RESUMO

Abstract Objective: The objectives of this study were to evaluate an automated device for ventilatory support based on AMBU manufactured in March 2020. Methods: The ESSI-1 INC was evaluated through pulmonary mechanics and physiology parameters through compensatory spirometer tests (TISSOTs), and an artificial lung Model5600i Dual Adult PNEU VIEW SYSTEM; it was also compared to the anesthetic ventilatory support equipment (AEONMED 7500) in porcine models, measuring ventilatory, hemodynamic and gasometric parameters. Results: This equipment (ESSI-1 INC) was successfully tested by mechanical and biological models, such as pigs in which its performance was evaluated in terms of variability of tidal volume, ventilation frequency, and I/E relationship versus the manual performance of two medical interns. All the results turned out as expected and were satisfactory. Conclusions: It is safe and effective equipment and should be tested and used in diverse clinical conditions to standardize the ventilatory safety and care of patients who require it.

RESUMO

Resumen Los síndromes esclerodermiformes suelen imitar muy bien una esclerosis sistémica progresiva, y es la presencia de ampollas cutáneas en áreas fotoexpuestas con hiperpigmentación los datos diferenciales para diagnosticar una porfiria. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 48 años con fotosensibilidad, fragilidad capilar, ampollas cutáneas e hiperpigmentación asociado a esclerodactilia, con pérdida cicatrizal distal de tejido en los dedos de las manos, que simuló a la perfección una esclerosis sistémica progresiva. La analítica mostró negatividad para anticuerpos antinucleares, antitopoisomerasa y anticentrómero, con valores altos de uroporfirinas en orina. El tratamiento con flebotomías e hidroxicloquina mejoró la fotosensibilidad y la fragilidad cutánea.


Abstract Sclerodermiform syndromes usually mimic progressive systemic sclerosis very well, with the presence of skin blisters in photo-exposed areas with hyperpigmentation being the differential data for diagnosing porphyria. We present the case of a 48-year old man with photosensitivity, capillary fragility, skin blisters, and hyperpigmentation associated with sclerodactyly with distal scar tissue loss on the fingers, which perfectly simulated progressive systemic sclerosis. The analysis showed negativity for antinuclear, antitopoisomerase and anticentromere antibodies, with high levels of uroporphyrins in urine. Phlebotomy and hydroxycloquine treatment improved photosensitivity and skin fragility.

RESUMO

Tanto lupus eritematoso sistémico como el síndrome antifosfolípido son enfermedades autoinmunes con potencial tromboembólico, sobre todo por la presencia de anticuerpos trombogénicos. El pulmón es un lugar común donde suele asentarse un trombo y generar una tromboembolia, a veces con posterior infarto y cavitación. Existen pocos estudios que informen un infarto pulmonar cavitado en un paciente con lupus asociado a síndrome antifosfolípido. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 24 años con síntomas generales y lesión pulmonar derecha cavitada. Fue tratada inicialmente como infección tuberculosa o fúngica. La analítica y las imágenes orientaron y diagnosticaron lupus asociado a síndrome antifosfolípido, complicado con tromboembolismo pulmonar que luego pasó a cavitarse. La paciente mejoró considerablemente con anticoagulantes, corticoides y ciclofosfamida.


Both systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome are autoimmune diseases with thromboembolic potential, especially due to the presence of thrombogenic antibodies. The lung is a common place where a thrombus usually settles and generates a thromboembolism, sometimes with subsequent infarction and cavitation. There are few studies reporting cavitary pulmonary infarction in a patient with lupus associated with antiphospholipid syndrome. We present the case of a 24-year-old woman with general symptoms and cavitated right lung lesion. She was initially treated as tuberculous or fungal infection. Laboratory tests and images guided and diagnosed lupus associated with antiphospholipid syndrome, complicated by pulmonary thromboembolism that later became cavitated. The patient improved considerably with anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and cyclophosphamide.

RESUMO

Background: Previous studies have assessed the role of Type 1 diabetes (DM1) antibodies as predictors of the natural history of disease. Aim: To determine the frequency and combinations of positivity for DM1 antibodies in patients with DM1 and the relationship between antibody positivity and the age of the patient. To explore the relationship between history of insulin therapy or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at the onset of the disease with antibody positivity in a subsample. Material and Methods: Data was gathered from every sample processed for DM1 antibodies in our laboratory between January 2015 and September 2019. Medical records from 84 patients who tested positive for at least one antibody were revised to study the relationship between insulin therapy or DKA at the onset of the disease with antibody positivity. Results: Forty percent of DM1 antibody tests were positive. Among positive tests, 1, 2, 3 or 4 DM1 antibodies were detected in 48%, 33%, 17% and 3% of cases, respectively. The likelihood of testing positive was inversely related with age for ICA, GAD, IA-2, ZnT8 and directlyproportionalforIAA (p= −0,012; −0,013; −0,014; −0,009; 0,005 respectively). An association between DKA at the onset of the disease and IA-2 positivity was observed (Odds ratio (OR) 5.38 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.79 − 16.16, P < 0.01). No association was found between IAA positivity and history of insulin therapy (OR 2.25 95%CI 0.63 − 7.90, P = 0.2403). The results obtained from this study represent a novel local profile of DM1 antibody data, highlighting a relationship between antibody positivity and age.

RESUMO

Resumen Objetivo: Describir la utilización de métodos anticonceptivos de gestantes migrantes venezolanas, en dos ciudades de la costa norte de Colombia (Barranquilla y Riohacha), entre 2018 y 2019. Metodología: Se diseñó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. Las participantes se seleccionaron mediante muestreo sistemático en hospitales y muestreo en bola de nieve en la comunidad. Un cuestionario estandarizado permitió la recolección de variables sociodemográficas, de migración, de uso de anticonceptivos, entre otras. Resultados: Fueron encuestadas 552 mujeres gestantes provenientes de Venezuela, principalmente jóvenes, casadas o en unión libre; la minoría de los embarazos fueron planificados (37,7 %), aun cuando las mujeres conocían sobre métodos de anticoncepción. El preservativo (condón) y la píldora fueron los métodos más conocidos (94,7 y 96,1 %, respectivamente). Conclusión: Casi todas las mujeres conocen métodos anticonceptivos y los lugares dónde obtenerlos; no obstante, solo la mitad logró conseguirlos la última vez que los buscó; así, la mayoría de los embarazos fueron no planificados. La garantía de los derechos sexuales y reproductivos, incluyendo la satisfacción de necesidades de planificación familiar, debe ser una prioridad en las acciones de atención a la población migrante, en el marco del fenómeno migratorio colombo-venezolano.


Abstract Objective: To describe the use of contraceptive methods by pregnant Venezuelan migrants in two cities on the north coast of Colombia (Barranquilla and Riohacha), between 2018 and 2019. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was designed. Participants were selected through systematic sampling in hospitals and snowball sampling in the community. A standardized questionnaire allowed the sociodemographic, migration, contraceptive use and other variables to be collected. Results: 552 pregnant, mainly young, women from Venezuela who are married or living with their partner were surveyed. The minority of pregnancies were planned (37.7%), even though the women knew about contraception methods. The condom and the pill were the most well-known methods (94.7 and 96.1%, respectively). Conclusion: Nearly all of the women knew about birth control and where it can be accessed. However, only half managed to get them the last time they looked for them, meaning that most of the pregnancies were unplanned. Guaranteed sexual and reproductive rights, including satisfactory family planning requirements, must be a priority in actions aimed at the migrant population, within the framework of the Colombian-Venezuelan migratory phenomenon.


Resumo Objetivo: Descrever o uso de métodos anticoncepcionais de gestantes migrantes venezuelanas, em duas cidades do litoral norte da Colômbia (Barranquilla e Riohacha), entre 2018 e 2019. Metodologia: Foi desenhado um estudo de corte transversal descritivo. As participantes foram selecionadas através de uma amostragem sistemática em hospitais e amostragem em bola de neve feita na comunidade. Um questionário padrão permitiu a coleta de variáveis sócio demográficas, de informação relacionada à migração, ao uso de anticoncepcionais, entre outras. Resultados: O questionário foi aplicado a 552 mulheres gestantes vindas da Venezuela, principalmente jovens, casadas ou em união estável; a minoria das gestações foi planejada (37,7%), mesmo conhecendo os métodos anticoncepcionais. O preservativo (camisinha) e a pílula foram os métodos mais identificados (94,7 e 96,1% respectivamente). Conclusão: Quase todas as mulheres conhecem métodos anticoncepcionais e os lugares onde podem obtê-los; porém somente a metade delas conseguiu adquiri-los quando procuraram pela última vez; assim que a maioria das gestações não foi planejada. A garantia dos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos, incluindo a satisfação das necessidades de planejamento familiar, deve ser uma prioridade nos programas de atenção à população migrante, dentro do marco do fenômeno migratório colombo-venezuelano.

RESUMO

Background: Vitamin K antagonist medications (VKA) are essential for the prevention of thromboembolic events, but their effectiveness is influenced by multiple factors, such as the type of medication chosen. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy in anticoagulant control of the bioequivalent and non-bioequivalent drugs of acenocoumarol compared to the reference drug. To evaluate the efficacy of warfarin bioequivalents available in Chile. To contrast the overall anticoagulant control efficacy between acenocoumarol and warfarin. Material and Methods: The results of 69333 outpatient oral anticoagulation controls were analyzed. Patient were separated in groups according to the drug that they used. Subsequently, the proportions of controls outside the range for each of acenocoumarol and warfarin bioequivalent drugs were compared. Acenocoumarol non-bioequivalent drugs were also compared with the reference drug. Acenocoumarol was compared with warfarin. Results: Acenocoumarol bioequivalent drugs and the reference drug had a similar proportion of controls outside the range (Odds ratios (OR) 0.812; 0.969; 0.974 and 0.963). Non-bioequivalent drugs had a higher proportion than the reference drug (OR 1.561 and 2.037). Both warfarin brands have a similar proportion of controls outside of the range (OR 1.050). Acenocoumarol compared to warfarin had a significant higher proportion of controls outside the range (OR 1.191). Conclusions: The pharmacological presentation of vitamin K antagonists could influence anticoagulant control. Therefore, it is not prudent to switch these presentations frequently.

RESUMO

Resumen En Colombia las intoxicaciones autoinfligidas vienen en aumento en los últimos años, la principal causa son los medicamentos y dentro de éstos, los psicofármacos. El bupropión es un antidepresivo, inhibidor débil de la recaptación de dopamina y noradrenalina; está aprobado para el tratamiento del trastorno depresivo mayor y se ha utilizado en otras indicaciones como: depresión bipolar, abandono del cigarrillo, trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH), obesidad y disfunción sexual. Sus principales efectos adversos son cardiovasculares y neurológicos. Esta serie de casos busca evidenciar las complicaciones asociadas a su toxicidad y resaltar algunos aspectos en el manejo de estas intoxicaciones; tales como el uso de la irrigación gastrointestinal y el uso de emulsiones lipídicas. MÉD. UIS. 2020;33(2):117-121.


Abstract In Colombia, self-inflicted drug poisonings have been increasing in recent years, and within these, psychotropic drugs. The vast majority of psychoactive drug poisonings are explained by SSRI tricyclic antidepressants and anticonvulsants. Bupropion is an antidepressant, dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor; approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder and used in other indications such as: bipolar depression, smoking cessation, attention deficit disorder the importance of this series of cases is to sensitize health personnel about the increase in prescription and therefore more Toxicity risks associated with this medicine. There is little literature on the management of bupropion toxicity, understanding these and it is important to highlight its amphetamine-like structure that explains neurological risks such as seizures and cardiovascular events as arrhythmias, although it is true that there is no consensus on the management, it is worth highlighting the usefulness of lipid emulsions This series of cases, being the first in Colombia, seeks to highlight the complications associated with its toxicity and highlight some aspects in the management of this poisoning; such as the use of gastrointestinal irrigation and the use of lipid emulsions.

RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: Las enfermedades producidas por micobacterias son de gran importancia clínica y epidemiológica presentando el complejo Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTBc) una morbi-mortalidad mayor que la producida por micobacterias no tuberculosas (MNTB). La identificación tradicional está basada en sus características fenotípicas mediante procesos laboriosos e incapaces en algunos casos de distinguir entre especies. Actualmente, la mayoría de las técnicas utilizadas se basan en métodos moleculares que tienen alta veracidad, pero son complejas y de alto costo. La espectrometría de masas con desorción/ionización láser asistida por una matriz asociada a tiempo de vuelo (MALDI-TOF MS) se basa en la comparación del espectro proteico producido con respecto al de una base de datos de referencia. Objetivo: Evaluar el rendimiento de MALDI-TOF MS en la identificación de micobacterias comparado con métodos moleculares: Material y Métodos: Se analizaron 28 aislados de nueve especies distintas mediante MALDI-TOF MS. Resultados: Se identificó correctamente 78,5% de las aislados (22/28), concordante en 100% (9/9) de MNTB de crecimiento rápido, 60% (9/15) en las MNTB de crecimiento lento y 100% (4/4) de MTBc. Todas las especies no identificadas (6/6) pertenecen al complejo M. avium/intracellulare. Conclusión: MALDI-TOD MS es una metodología rápida, fácil y de bajo costo, con adecuada veracidad respecto a los métodos moleculares.


Abstract Background: Mycobacterial diseases are very important both clinically and epidemiologically. Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBc) infections confer higher morbidity and mortality rate than non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections. Traditional species identification techniques are based on phenotypic characteristics which take a long time by laborious processes and in occasions are no conclusive. Currently, most used techniques are based on molecular methods, which are accurate but are expensive and complex. Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a simple, cheap and fast identification method based on comparing protein spectra with a reference database. Aim: To assess the performance of MALDI-TOF MS in the identification of MTBc and NTM, compared with molecular methods. Methods: For that purpose, 28 isolates of 9 different species were analyzed through MALDI-TOF MS. Results: 78.5% (22/28) of isolates were correctly identified, 100% (9/9) of rapidly growers NTM, 60% (9/15) of slow growing NTM and 100% (4/4) of MTBc. Every unidentified isolate (6/6) corresponded to M. avium/intracellulare complex. Conclusion: MALDI-TOF MS is fast, simple and cheaper than molecular methods and also has adequate accuracy.

RESUMO

Abstract Background: Fast-track worldwide reperfusion programs improve outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction and stroke. Similar programs called Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) focus on submassive and massive pulmonary embolism (PE) excluding deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Methods: PREVENTION-team (Hospital Zambrano Hellion Venous Thromboembolism [VTE] Rapid Response). Primary objective: Fast-track stratification, diagnostics, and treatment (60-90 min) to improve proximal DVT and submassive and massive PE patients care. Secondary objectives: Increase diagnosis rate of low-risk PE and distal DVT; exploration of cause; long-term anticoagulation; identify high-risk profile for chronic complications; community-based support groups and patient education to extend the concept of the thrombosis-free hospital to thrombosis-free home. Structure and organization: The team includes cardiologists, vascular medicine, angiologist, echocardiographer, cardiovascular imaging, and interventional cardiologists. The team will be accessible 24 h a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and base on previous national experience. The cardiology fellow on call will be responsible for activation and evaluation. We will design several tools to accelerate these processes. Risk stratification and therapeutic approach will be based on clinical presentation, echocardiogram, and biomarkers findings. According to PERT stratification based on resources and medical specialties, Hospital Zambrano Hellion has level 1 PERT. PREVENTION-team links physicians with different expertise, provide fast, efficient, and time-saving treatment, potentially saving lives and reducing bleeding and chronic complications in VTE patients. Finally, establishing a network in our hospital and health system to improve VTE patients care. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first rapid response team focused on VTE in Mexico.


Resumen Antecedentes: Programas de reperfusión mejoraron la evolución en infarto con elevación del ST y accidente cerebrovascular embólico. Programas similares llamados PERT para TEP masiva o submasiva excluyen TVP. Métodos: Equipo PREVENTION (Hospital Zambrano Hellion Venous Thromboembolism Rapid Response). Objetivo primario: Estratificación, diagnóstico y tratamiento acelerado (60-90 minutos) para mejorar atención del TVP proximal y TEP masiva o submasiva. Objetivos secundarios: Incrementar diagnóstico de TEP de riesgo bajo y TVP distal; explorar causa; anticoagulación a largo plazo; perfil de riesgo alto para complicaciones crónicas; grupos de soporte en la comunidad y educación para pacientes, y extender el concepto de hospital libre de trombosis a hogar libre de trombosis. Estructura y organización: Incluye cardiólogos, medicina vascular, angiólogo, ecocardiografistas, imagen cardiovascular. Basado en experiencia nacional, el equipo estará accesible 24 horas del día, siete días de la semana, 365 días del año. El residente de cardiología realizará la activación y estratificación. Diseñamos herramientas para acelerar el proceso. La estratificación de riesgo y el abordaje terapéutico se basará en presentación clínica, hallazgos ecocardiograficos y biomarcadores. El Hospital Zambrano Hellion tiene nivel PERT 1 de acuerdo a la estratificación PERT basada en recursos y especialidades. Equipo-PREVENTION en TEV vincula médicos con diferentes capacidades, ofrece rápido y eficiente tratamiento para preservar vidas y reducir complicaciones hemorrágicas y crónicas. En nuestro hospital y sistema de salud establecer una sólida red de trabajo para mejorar la atención. Hasta nuestro conocimiento, en México este podría ser el primer equipo de respuesta rápida enfocado en TEV.

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN La peritonitis meconial (PM) es una peritonitis localizada o generalizada, aséptica, química o de cuerpo extraño; producto del paso de meconio a la cavidad peritoneal y esta correlacionada con la perforación prenatal del tracto digestivo. Se presenta en 1 de cada 30.000 recién nacidos (RN). El diagnostico ecográfico prenatal mejora los resultados perinatales, el hallazgo más frecuente es la ascitis. La PM requiere un tratamiento multidisciplinario urgente, la mayoría es de resolución quirúrgica. OBJETIVO Dar a conocer una patología infrecuente, que requiere un alto grado de sospecha diagnostica para otorgar un manejo perinatal específico y oportuno. Caso clínico Primigesta de 29 años sin antecedentes mórbidos, cursando embarazo controlado de 36+5 semanas. En control ecográfico se evidencia ascitis fetal. Se hospitaliza en alto riesgo obstétrico, descartando patología metabólica e infecciosa. A las 37 semanas por cesárea de urgencia, se obtiene RN con distensión abdominal y hepatomegalia. En laparotomía exploradora se evidencia asas intestinales indemnes. En re intervención se encuentra hernia de íleon distal perforada, se confecciona ostomia, evoluciona favorablemente y es dado de alta. DISCUSIÓN Es fundamental considerar la PM dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales de ascitis fetal. Un diagnóstico oportuno mejora los resultados perinatales y permite prevenir posibles complicaciones.


INTRODUCTION Meconial peritonitis (PM) is localized or generalized peritonitis, aseptic, chemical or strange body; a product of meconium steps to the peritoneal cavity and is correlated with prenatal perforation of the digestive tract. It occurs in 1 in 30,000 newborns. Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis improves perinatal outcomes, the most frequent finding is ascites. PM requires urgent multidisciplinary treatment, most of cases need surgical resolution. OBJECTIVE To present an infrequent pathology, which requires a high degree of diagnostic suspicion to grant a specific and timely perinatal management. Clinical case Pregnant 29 years old woman without morbid history, 36 weeks of controlled pregnancy. Ultrasound control shown fetal ascites. He is hospitalized at high obstetric risk, ruling out metabolic and infectious pathology. At 37 weeks by emergency caesarean section, is obtained a baby boy with abdominal distension and hepatomegaly. In exploratory laparotomy there are undamaged intestinal handles. In re intervention it is noted herniated perforated distal ileum, ostomy is made. Patient evolves favourably and is discharged. DISCUSSION It is essential consider PM within the differential diagnoses of fetal ascites. An opportune diagnosis improves the perinatal results and could avoids possible complications.

RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: En el fenómeno migratorio desde Venezuela hacia Colombia, las mujeres representan una proporción significativa entre los migrantes irregulares; de ellas, las gestantes han sido priorizadas por sus condiciones particulares de vulnerabilidad. Sin embargo, se desconocen sus condiciones de salud. Objetivos: Caracterizar multidimensionalmente la situación de salud de las gestantes venezolanas migrantes irregulares, residentes en las principales ciudades receptoras del Caribe colombiano: Barranquilla y Riohacha. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en 520 gestantes venezolanas migrantes irregulares, captadas por muestreo sistemático en hospitales públicos, y comunitariamente a través de búsqueda activa en bola de nieve entre agosto de 2018 y mayo de 2019. Con un cuestionario estandarizado se evaluaron los principales problemas de salud, estado nutricional, seguridad alimentaria, presencia de síntomas depresivos, accesibilidad y satisfacción con los servicios de salud. Resultados: La mitad percibía su salud durante el embarazo como buena o muy buena (53,4%). El 51,3% presentó anemia ferropénica y la mayoría algún grado de inseguridad alimentaria (87,5%). La prevalencia de síntomas depresivos clínicamente significativos fue del 32,1%. Una alta proporción reportó algún tipo de violencia por parte de su pareja (90,2%). El 25,9% requirió atención sanitaria por urgencias independiente de la atención prenatal. El 62,7% calificó la atención por urgencias como muy buena o buena, mientras que el 73,1% piensa que le brindaron la atención necesaria para su problema de salud. Conclusiones: Los principales problemas de salud en gestantes que participaron en el estudio corresponden a la inseguridad alimentaria, anemia, síntomas depresivos, violencia de pareja y ausencia de controles prenatales. Su situación de salud debe considerarse en el marco del proceso migratorio y desde los determinantes sociales de la salida, tránsito, llegada y retorno. Las medidas de atención primaria para esta población deben seguir siendo fortalecidas por el sistema de salud a nivel territorial y basadas en evidencia.


Abstract Introduction: In the current migration from Venezuela to Colombia, women represent a significant proportion of the irregular migrant population, and those who are pregnant have been a priority given their particularly vulnerable condition. Nevertheless, their health conditions are not known. Objectives: To obtain a multi-dimensional characterization of the health situation of irregular Venezuelan migrants who are pregnant and residing in the main receiving the Caribbean region of Colombia: Barranquilla and Riohacha. Methods: We carried out a descriptive, cross-sectional study with 520 pregnant women surveyed from August 2018 to May 2019 with a systematic sampling in public hospitals and an active community search using snowball sampling. We used a standardized questionnaire to evaluate the main health problems, nutritional status, food security, presence of depressive symptoms and accessibility/ satisfaction with health services. Results: Half of the participants perceived their health during pregnancy as good or very good (53.4%), 51.3% presented iron deficiency anemia, and the majority (87.5%) experienced some lack of food security. The prevalence of clinically significant depressive symptoms was 32.1%. A high proportion reported some type of intimate partner violence (90.2%). 25.9% required urgent medical care, irrespective of the prenatal care they received. With regard to quality of care in the emergency service, 62.7% rated it as very good or good, and 73.1% reported that they received the care that was needed for their health problem. Conclusions: Food insecurity, anemia, depressive symptoms, violence committed by the partner and lack of prenatal care were the main health problems for pregnant women who participated in the study. Their health situation should be viewed in the context of the migration process, based on the social determinants of emigration, transit, arrival, and return. The health care system should continue to strengthen primary care measures for this population at the local level and based on the evidence.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción: Se define como síntoma médicamente inexplicado los síntomas físicos de varias semanas de duración cuya adecuada evaluación médica no revele alguna enferme dad que los explique; cuando estos síntomas se tornan persistentes, llevan a exploraciones clínicas exhaustivas y múltiples intervenciones. Estos pacientes tienen un deterioro mayor, o al menos comparable en cuanto a funcionamiento físico, salud mental y percepción nega tiva de su salud, que los pacientes con múltiples enfermedades médicas crónicas; tienen significativamente más eventos estresantes vitales (abuso psicológico, físico y/o sexual) y más probabilidades de cumplir criterios diagnósticos de ansiedad y depresión. Objetivo: Caracterizar sociodemográfica y psiquiátricamente un grupo de pacientes identi ficados en atención primaria con síntomas médicamente inexplicados. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal de pacientes de 18-70 años, a quienes se aplicó el PHQ-15, el PHQ-9 y el PHQ para ansiedad y una encuesta diseña para la investigación. Resultados: Se analizó a 36 pacientes, el 94,4% mujeres, con una mediana de edad de 45 [20] años; el 33,3% de ellas estaban casadas y el 91,7% tenía hijos. El 55% tenía síntomas somáticos funcionales graves, el 77,8% tenía 1 o más trastornos somáticos funcionales y el 77,7% presentaba síntomas afectivos o ansiosos de relevancia clínica. El 25% de los pacientes reportaron antecedente de maltrato en la infancia; el 41,7%, maltrato de pareja, y el 41,6% había sido víctima del conflicto armado colombiano. Conclusiones: El principal hallazgo de este estudio fue que cerca de 8 de cada 10 pacientes cumplían criterios de un trastorno somático funcional con gran intensidad sintomática, y cerca de 3 de cada 10 pacientes cumplían criterios de 2 trastornos funcionales, la mayoría de estos pacientes sin otras enfermedades médicas de base. Además, en estos pacientes se encontró alta prevalencia de exposición a diferentes tipos de violencia a lo largo de la vida.


ABSTRACT Introduction: Medically unexplained symptoms are defined as physical symptoms that have been present for several weeks and that an adequate medical evaluation has not revealed any disease that explains them; when these symptoms become persistent, they lead to comprehensive clinical investigations and multiple interventions. These patients have a greater or at least comparable commitment to physical functioning, mental health, and negative health perception than patients with multiple chronic medical conditions; have significantly more stressful life events (psychological, physical and/or sexual abuse) and are more likely to meet diagnostic criteria for anxiety and depression. Objective: To characterize sociodemographic and psychiatric characteristics of a group of patients identified in primary care with medically unexplained symptoms. Methodology: A descriptive, cross-sectional study with patients from 18 to 70 years old who were given PHQ-15, PHQ-9 and PHQ for anxiety, and a survey designed for the study. Results: 36 patients were analysed, 94.4% women, median age 45 [RIC, 20] years-old, 33.3% married, 91.7% had children. 55% had severe functional somatic symptoms, 77.8% had one or more functional somatic disorders, and 77.7% had clinically relevant affective or anxiety symptoms. 25% of the patients reported a history of child abuse, 41.7% were mistreated by a partner, and 41.6% were victims of the Colombian armed conflict. Conclusions: The main finding of this study was that 8 out of 10 patients met criteria for a functional somatic disorder with great symptomatic severity and three out of ten patients met criteria for two functional disorders, most of these patients without otherbasic medical diseases. In addition, we found a high prevalence of exposure to different types of violence that these patients have been subjected to throughout their life.

RESUMO

Background: Placing central venous lines under ultrasonographic guidance reduces the complications of the procedure. Aim: To compare prevalences of complications of central venous line placements with or without ultrasonographic guidance. Material and Methods: Descriptive study that contemplated the comparison of two groups of patients subjected to a central venous line placement at a nephrology service for renal replacement therapy. In one group of 100 patients, the line was placed without ultrasonographic guidance between 2008 and 2012. Between 2015 and 2017 the line was placed in 138 patients using ultrasonographic guidance. The prevalences of complications with both types of procedures were recorded. Results: The frequency of complications of procedures with and without ultrasonographic guidance was 0.7 and 18% respectively (prevalence ratio 0.04, 95% confidence interval 0-0.3). Ninety five percent of recorded complications were arterial puncture, followed by hematomas in 10% and pneumothorax in 5%. The higher prevalence of complications was observed in emergency line placement without ultrasonographic guidance. There was a direct association between the number of line placement attempts in a single procedure and the prevalence of complications. Conclusions: Ultrasonographic guidance is associated with a reduction in the prevalence of central venous line complications.

RESUMO

Resumen: Introducción: La histiocitosis de células de Langerhans (HCL) es un trastorno histiocítico raro y su incidencia exacta se mantiene desconocida; se ha diagnosticado en todos los grupos de edad, pero es más común en los primeros 3 años de vida. Se caracteriza por lesiones únicas o múltiples de tipo osteolítico causadas por proliferación clonal de células histológicamente similares a las células de Langerhans; su presentación clínica es heterogénea. Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de una paciente de sexo femenino de 7 años, con dificultad para la marcha y debilidad progresiva en los miembros inferiores de 5 días de evolución. A la exploración física presenta hallazgos concordantes con síndrome piramidal e hipoes­ tesias de miembros inferiores. Se realizó resonancia magnética (RM) de columna y tomografía computarizada de cráneo simple, que descartó patología intracraneal . En la RM de columna se detectó vertebra plana con extensión epidural y para­ vertebral, por lo que se inició manejo con esteroides y se indicó descompresión quirúrgica. Se realizó resección parcial y biopsia de la lesión. Debido a los hallazgos histológicos y la presencia de marcadores positivos para CD1a y CD207, se confirmó el diagnóstico de HCL. Conclusiones: La HCL es una enfermedad poco frecuente y de difícil diagnóstico por su presentación heterogénea. El granuloma eosinofílico y la vértebra plana como hallazgos imagenológicos pueden orientar el diagnóstico, aunque siempre se debe confirmar histológicamente.


Abstract: Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease, more common in the first three years of lite. lt is characterized by single ar multiple osteolytic lesions due to clonal proliferation of cells histologically similar to Langerhans cells; its clínical presentation is heterogeneous. Case report: 7-year-old female patient with 5 days of progressive lower extremity weakness and difficulty to walk. Physical exam findings were consistent with pyramidal syndrome and lower extremities hypoesthesia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of spine and cranial computed tomography (CT) were performed. lntracranial pathology was ruled out. The MRI findings showed vertebra plana with epidural and paravertebral involvement, so treatment with steroids and surgical decompression initiated. Partíal resection and biopsy of the lesion was performed. Due to histological findings and positive CD1a and CD207 markers, diagnosis of LCH was confirmed. Conclusions: LCH is an uncommon disease with a challenging diagnosis due to its heterogeneous clinical presentation. Eosinophilic granuloma and vertebra plana as imaging findings may guide the diagnosis. However, it should always be confirmed with histological evidence.
