ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The frontal sinus drainage pathway is formed by either the ethmoid infundibulum or the middle meatus, which depends on the superior insertion of the uncinate process. According to Landsberg & Friedman the are 6 types of superior uncinate process insertion. The aim of this study is to find an association between the uncinate process insertion type and the development of frontal sinus mucoceles. METHODS: Fifty sinus CT scans were analysed. Exclusion criteria were previous nasal surgeries, malignancy, polyposis and an insufficient image quality. Superior insertions of the uncinate process were analysed according to the Landsberg & Friedman classification. The results were tabulated and analysed using SPSS 25.0. RESULTS: The analysis revealed type 1 insertion in 6% of the CT scans, type 2 in 32%, type 3 in 26%, type 4 in 0%, type 5 in 28% and type 6 in 8%. Despite 44% of the CT scans with frontal sinus mucocele showing a type 2 insertion of the uncinate process, both the Chi-Square test and the Cramer's V test showed no statistical significance (p>.05). Logistic regression also showed that uncinate process insertion type does not influence the likelihood of development of frontal sinuses mucoceles. CONCLUSIONS: The insertion of the uncinate process does not influence the development of frontal sinus mucoceles.

Antecedentes: La vía de drenaje del seno frontal es formada por el infundíbulo etmoidal o por el meato medio, lo que depende de la inserción superior de la apófisis unciforme. Según Landsberg y Friedman hay seis tipos de inserción superior de la apófisis unciforme.El objetivo del estudio es entender si hay alguna correlación entre el tipo de inserción de la apófisis unciforme y el desarrollo de mucoceles del seno frontal.Material y métodosSe analizaron 50 tomografías computarizadas de los senos paranasales. Los criterios de exclusión fueron cirugías nasales previas, malignidad, poliposis y una calidad de imagen insuficiente. Las inserciones superiores de la apófisis unciforme fueron analizadas según la clasificación de Landsberg y Friedman. Los resultados se tabularon y analizaron usando el SPSS 25.0.ResultadosEl análisis reveló la inserción de tipo 1 en 6% de las tomografías computarizadas, tipo 2 en 32%, tipo 3 en 26%, tipo 4 en 0%, tipo 5 en 28% y tipo 6 en 8%. A pesar de que el 44% de las tomografías computarizadas con mucocele del seno frontal muestran una inserción de tipo 2 de la apófisis unciforme, tanto la prueba de X2 como la prueba de V de Cramer, no mostraron significación estadística (p > 0,05). La regresión logística también demostró que el tipo de inserción de la apófisis unciforme no influye en la probabilidad de desarrollo de mucoceles de los senos frontales.ConclusiónLa inserción de la apófisis unciforme no influye el desarrollo de los mucoceles en los senos frontales.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: In order to clarify the relation between deprivation and morbillity and mortality, in function of different residence places, we design this study. Main objective is to analyze the influence of place of residence on the incidence of cardiovascular events (CVD) and general mortality from any cause, in a cohort with metabolic syndrome. METHODS: Prospective study to determine the incidence of CVD according to the place of residence (rural, urban) in individuals with different combinations of clinical features of Metabolic Syndrome (MS). Setting: Primary Care, Catalonia (Spain). Subjects: between 35-75 years of age fulfilling SM criteria, without CVD at the beginning of follow-up (2009). The population was stratified according to the MEDEA index in rural, and within urban areas in 5 subcategories (urban1 - urban5), according to their level of deprivation. We performed descriptive statistics, variance analysis and survival curves (Kaplan-Meier and Cox methods) in order to contrast data from different categories. RESULTS: We analyzed 401,743 subjects with MS (17.2% of the Catalan population); 20.1% resided in rural areas. Their average age ranged between 60.5 + 9.6 years in urban area 1 (most favored) and 59.6 + 10.4 years in urban area 5 (the most precarious). After 5 years of follow-up, the global incidence of CVD was 5.5%, being slightly lower in rural areas (5%) than in urban areas (between 5.5% -5.8%). On the other hand, mortality was higher in the rural area (859 deaths/100000 inhabitants-year) - than in the rest of the areas (minimum value in urban-3 (736 deaths/100000 inhabitants-year)). CONCLUSIONS: The place of residence is a risk marker, which is associated with the incidence of CVD but above all, with higher mortality from all causes in patients with MS. Undoubtedly and leaving aside the possible confounding factors, in the socioeconomically most disadvantaged areas, mortality is increased.


OBJETIVO: Con el fin de evidenciar la posible relación entre deprivación y morbimortalidad, enmarcada en diferentes lugares de residencia, diseñamos el presente estudio. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la influencia del lugar de residencia sobre la incidencia de eventos cardiovasculares (ECV) y de mortalidad general por cualquier causa, en una cohorte con síndrome metabólico. METODOS: Estudio prospectivo para determinar la incidencia de ECV según el lugar de residencia (rural, urbano) en individuos con distintas combinaciones de rasgos clínicos de Síndrome Metabólico (SM). El emplazamiento del mismo fue la Atención Primaria de Cataluña (España). Los sujetos de estudio fueron personas de entre 35-75 años de edad, que cumplían los criterios de SM, sin ECV al inicio del seguimiento (2009). La población se estratificó según el índice MEDEA en rural, y dentro de áreas urbanas en 5 subcategorías (urbano1 ­ urbano5), según su nivel de deprivación. Se realizó estadística descriptiva, análisis de la varianza y curvas de supervivencia (Kaplan-Meier, método de Cox) para contrastar los diferentes grupos categóricos. RESULTADOS: Se analizaron 401.743 sujetos con SM (17,2% de la población catalana); 20,1% residían en áreas rurales. Su edad media osciló entre 60,5 + 9,6 años en área urbana 1 (la más favorecida) y 59,6 + 10,4 años en área urbana 5 (la más precaria). A los 5 años de seguimiento, la incidencia global de ECV fue del 5,5%, siendo ligeramente menor en ámbito rural (5%) que en los urbanos (entre 5,5-5,8%). En cambio, la mortalidad fue superior en el ámbito rural (859 casos/100000 habitantes-año) - que en el resto de áreas (mínimo valor en urbano-3 (736 casos/100000 habitantes-año)). CONCLUSIONES: El lugar de residencia constituye un marcador de riesgo, que se asocia a la incidencia de ECV pero sobre todo, a una mayor mortalidad por todas las causas, en pacientes con SM. Sin duda y dejando de lado los posibles factores de confusión, en las áreas socioeconómicamente más desfavorecidas, la mortalidad está aumentada.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Kaposi sarcoma is an angioproliferative disorder that requires infection with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) for its development. The majority of cases are associated with HIV infection or other immunocompromising conditions. Thymomas are occasionally associated to cytopenia, which may alter the patients' immune responses. METHODS: Case report using clinical records. RESULTS: Case report of a 46-year-old male patient diagnosed with thymoma and myasthenia gravis. The patient was referred to an otolaryngology consultation with complaints of facial pain in the right malar region, interpreted as an acute sinusitis. Following examination, an expansive maxillary sinus mass was found, and endoscopic surgery was undertaken. After careful investigation, it was diagnosed as a Kaposi sarcoma. CONCLUSIONS: It is thought to be the first described case of a maxillary sinus Kaposi sarcoma in an HIV-negative patient. Thus, this entity has to be considered in the differential diagnosis of sinus masses, even in non-HIV patients.

ABSTRACT

Chinchilas foram feitas diabéticas com uma única injeçäo intraperitoneal de streptozotocin na dose de 100 mg/kg e o estado hipergicêmico foi comprovado através de curvas glicêmicas realizadas periodicamente. Após três, seis e 12 meses de diabetes experimental estabelecido, grupos de animais foram sacrificados com dose maciça de pentobarbital pela via intraperitoneal, decapitados e tiveram os ossos temporais removidos para estudo morfológico. Foram usadas duas técnicas de coloraçäo em preparaçöes convencionais de osso temporal: hematoxilina e eosina e PAS (Periodic-Acid-Schiff). Cortes finos de ducto coclear semelhantes aos usados para microscopia eletrônica foram corados pela técnica de Gomori (PASM-Periodic-Acid-Schiff-methenamine-silver). Esta última técnica tem sido muito útil na demonstraçäo de membranas basais em capilares dos rins e de outros órgäos, mas nunca foi usada para os capilares da cóclea. Os resultados deste estudo morfológico säo relatados e comentados nesta comunicaçäo
