Logros de la enseñanza semiológica clínica en un policlínico universitario / Achievements of the clinical semiological teaching in a university polyclinic

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal en el Policlínico Docente Municipal de Santiago de Cuba, de agosto a diciembre del 2011, con vistas a evaluar los logros de la enseñanza de la Semiología Clínica en dicho centro, para lo cual se entrevistó a un grupo de 29 profesores (con alumnos ayudantes entre ellos), que cumplieron con los criterios elaborados a tales efectos. Del análisis de las opiniones expresadas, se obtuvo que los tres primeros logros de dicha instrucción, según importancia, fueran en las áreas docente (100,0 por ciento) y asistencial (89,6 por ciento) y en la formación de valores (82,7 por ciento), con un evidente predominio en la docencia. Se recomendó evaluar el impacto del estudio y generalizarlo en los restantes policlínicos universitarios

A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in the Municipal Teaching Polyclinic of Santiago de Cuba, from August to December, 2011, aimed at evaluating the achievements of the Clinical Semiological teaching in this center, for which a group of 29 professors was interviewed (with assistants students among them) that fulfilled the approaches elaborated to such effects. From the analysis of the expressed opinions, it was concluded that the first three achievements of this instruction, according to their importance, were in the educational area (100.0 percent) and assistance area (89.6 percent) and in values training (82.7 percent), with an evident prevalence in teaching. It was recommended to evaluate the impact of the study and generalize it in the rest of the university polyclinics

Video electroencephalogram in occipital lobe epilepsy / 中华神经医学杂志

Objective To investigate the characteristics of video electroencephalogram (VEEG) in patients with occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) to improve the clinical diagnostic rate of OLE.Methods Twenty-five patients with OLE were collected in our hospital from June 2013 to February 2017 and received VEEG monitoring in our epilepsy center.Their clinical symptoms and VEEG characteristics were retrospectively analyzed.Results Nineteen patients (76.00％) had visual auras based on previous history,five (38.46％) had visual auras during VEEG monitoring.Three patients had epileptic discharge confined to occipital lobe and two had epileptic discharge confined to posterior temporal lobe in interictal phase,while 20 had epileptic discharge involved more than one lobe of the brain.In ictal phase,8 had clear discharge origin or earliest evolution in occipital lobe.Five showed abnormal EEG in the other brain areas,which needed other clinical information for diagnosing OLE.Conclusions The visual aura is typical characteristic of OLE,and there are specific manifestations of EEG in both inter-ictal phase and ictal phase.
