Arte, historia y endocrinología / Art, history and endocrinology

Las enfermedades han sido representadas en el arte desde tiempos remotos. Las obras pictóricas muchas veces nos muestran trastornos que aún no se constituían como una entidad. Observar estos cuadros a la luz de la historia de las enfermedades nos da una perspectiva enriquecedora que nos ayuda a entender mejor dichas patologías. Se comenta un caso clínico endocrinológico pediátrico, la historia probable y su descripción física. Se revisa la historia de cómo se llegó a dilucidar la enfermedad y las claves de su tratamiento.

Diseases have been represented in art since ancient times. Paintings often show us disorders that had not yet been described as a pathological entity. Looking at these pictures in the light of the history of the diseases gives us an enriching perspective that helps us to better understand those pathologies. On this background a pediatric endocrinological clinical case, the most probable history and the features of the physical examination are discussed. The history of how the disease was uncovered and the keys of its treatment are reviewed.

Resumen: La pandemia generada por el SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus) ha constituido un desafío mundial. En momentos de dificultad como los que se han presentado recientemente, es aún más necesaria la investigación para avanzar en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de las diferentes patologías. Utilizando el amplio desarrollo de los medios de comunicación, este año el Congreso del Colegio Americano de Cardiología (ACC por su sigla en inglés) se celebró del 28 al 30 de marzo en un formato virtual, permitiendo a profesionales de todo el mundo acceder a múltiples actividades científicas con el mismo nivel de excelencia que en las sesiones presenciales. Realizaremos un breve resumen de alguno de los principales trabajos científicos presentados: - Tailored Antiplatelet Initiation to Lessen Outcomes Due to Decreased Clopidogrel Response after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: TAILOR-PCI. - Rivaroxaban in Peripheral Artery Disease after Revascularization: VOYAGER PAD trial. - Vericiguat in Patients with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction: VICTORIA Study Group. - The Evolut Low Risk Bicuspid Study. - PARTNER 3. Two-year clinical and echocardiographic outcomes. - Ticagrelor with and without Aspirin in Acute Coronary Syndrome After PCI: the TICO Trial - Apixaban for the Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism Associated with Cancer: Caravaggio trial. - Ten-year Outcomes After Drug-eluting Stents Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Left Main Coronary Disease: Extended Follow Up of the PRECOMBAT Trial. - Anticoagulation with or without Clopidogrel after Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Implantation: POPular TAVI.

Summary The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been a global challenge. In times of difficulty such as those that have recently arisen, research is even more necessary to advance in the diagnosis and treatment of different pathologies. Using the extensive development of the media, this year the American Congress of Cardiology was held from March 28 to 30 in a virtual format, allowing professionals from around the world to access multiple scientific activities with the same level of excellence as in face-to-face sessions. We will make a brief summary of some of the main scientific papers presented: - Tailored Antiplatelet Initiation to Lessen Outcomes Due to Decreased Clopidogrel Response after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: TAILOR-PCI. - Rivaroxaban in Peripheral Artery Disease after Revascularization: VOYAGER PAD trial:. - Vericiguat in Patients with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction: VICTORIA Study Group. - The Evolut Low Risk Bicuspid Study. - PARTNER 3. Two-year clinical and echocardiographic outcomes. - Ticagrelor with and without Aspirin in Acute Coronary Syndrome After PCI: the TICO Trial. - Apixaban for the Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism Associated with Cancer: Caravaggio trial. - Ten-year Outcomes After Drug-eluting Stents Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Left Main Coronary Disease: Extended Follow Up of the PRECOMBAT Trial. - Anticoagulation with or without Clopidogrel after Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Implantation: POPular TAVI.
