ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Upper gastrointestinal tract (UGT) leaks are associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Endoluminal vacuum (EVAC) therapy is a promising approach for repairing effectively these defects. Our study describes the results obtained from a series of cases treated with EVAC for the management of esophageal anastomotic (EA) leak following esophagectomy for cancer, gastroenteric (GE) anastomoses leak after bariatric surgery and esophageal perforation (EP). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed ten patients who had an EA and GE anastomoses leaks and EP treated with EVAC. We described the results of the sample in terms of treatment failure, treatment duration, and number of EVAC replacements. RESULTS: Five patients underwent esophagectomy with neoadjuvant radio-chemotherapy, one patient underwent gastrojejunal bypass bariatric surgery and there were four EP. The median size of mucosal defects was 6,9 mm. The median duration of treatment was thirteen days with 3,6 interventions performed, every three to four days. Treatment success rate was 70%. Treatment failure was 30%: two patients required surgery and in one case an endoluminal prosthesis. CONCLUSIONS: EVAC therapy is an appropriate treatment for the management of postoperative fistulas in the UGT. Longer treatments are associated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and larger fistulas.

ABSTRACT

Anastomotic leak (AL) after with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has a morbidity rate to 53% and it can be potentially lethal (mortality rate from 0.5 to 10%). In these cases, surgery is usually a challenge, so in recent years minimally invasive endoscopic treatment is gaining ground. Endoluminal vacuum therapy (EVAC) is a promising treatment that is being used in esophagogastric and rectal surgery for the management of AL. We present the case of a patient on his 5th postoperative day of bariatric surgery (RYGB) with an acute abdomen. He was diagnosed of dehiscence of gastrojejunal anastomosis and he needed urgent surgery twice. Subsequently, in control CT, a new anastomotic leak is evidenced. However, given the clinical stability of the patient, it was decided to start EVAC type ESO-Sponge® placed by endoscopy. A total of 4 changes are made every 3-4 days with a total duration of treatment of 15 days. EVAC was removed when the defect presented a 1 mm sized.

Clinical antecedents: ulcers 14.8%, 1.9% amputation, dysesthesias 49.8%, 22.7% intermittent claudication, foot exam by physician 42.9%. Prevention activities by doctors are precarious because 59.5% do not educate about foot self-care, 57.1% examine feet, 68.3% ask about dysesthesias, 74.8% about intermittent claudication. Inadequate daily feet self-care by patients because they don`t inspect their feet 27.4% or the inner shoes 28.1%; 8% do not make interdigital drying; 58.8% do not lubricate their feet; 63.2% make no self-monitoring; 68.1% have inadequate nail cutting; 21.7% do not use stockings, 98.5% do not have therapeutic footwear; 55.1% have no family collaboration.

Correlation: BMI and waist midpoint circumference (r = 0.750, p = 0.000); BMI and body fat percentage (r = 0.586, p = 0.000). Eating habits: fried food preference 42.3%; Low consumption: animal protein (12.7%), dairy (31.8%), fruits (64.7%) and vegetables (57.9%); high starch consumption (43.4%). Conclusions: prevention efforts by doctors and patients are deficient.

Background. Diabetes mellitus causes large-scale morbimortality; its appearance is associated with a particular individual's life-style. Objective. Determining the risk factors related to feeding habits and nutritional state, measuring metabolic variables and providing nutrition education for patients suffering diabetes mellitus who have been hospitalised in second level internal medicine facilities. Materials and methods. This was a descriptive, crosssectional study which took place from October 2009 to June 2011; 221 patients aged older than 18 years suffering from diabetes mellitus were included. A survey was applied, food and nutrition counselling given, anthropometry, dynamometry and dietary habits assessed, HbA1c laboratory tests made and lipid profile constructed. Results. 44.1% were males and 55.9% female; average age was 63.6 (13.3 SD). 39.4% had not received counselling from a nutritionist. Anthropometrydynamometry: 58.9% suffered malnutrition due to excess (pre-obesity and obesity). Significant correlation: BMI and waist circumference midpoint (r=0.750, p=0.000); BMI and body fat (r=0.586, p=0.000); waist circumference midpoint and body fat (r=0.334, p=0.000); mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) and muscular strength (r=0.246, p=0.000). Eating habits: 42.3% preferred fried food; low animal protein consumption (12.7%), dairy products (31.8%), fruit (64.7%) and vegetables (57.9%); high starch consumption d (43.4%); 35.3% added sugar, cane sugar (panela) or honey; 18.8% added salt. Each patient was given an educational booklet which was explained to them. Conclusion. Pre-obesity and obesity predominated; they were associated with eating habits which could cause complications regarding diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Determining the prevalence of prevention activities regarding diabetic foot recommended by doctors and carried out by out-patients attending general medicine self-care foot control and describing food habits. METHODS: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional studywhich was carried out in two health-care institutions in Bogotá, from March to October 2008, by weightedconveniencesampling of 307 diabetic patients, aged over 18 years. RESULTS: Some patients had a background of foot ulcers (13.0 %) and amputations of the lower limbs(1.6 %). Some patients referredto dysesthesia(65.5 %) and intermittent claudication (33.6 %)whilst many stated that they had received no education about foot care from their doctors(78.2 %). Many stated that the doctor had not checked their feet during the last year (76.2 %)and others that, despite presenting dysesthesia and intermittent claudication(89.0 % and 93.0 %, respectively), the patients had not been asked about these symptoms. Regarding patient activities,some did not checktheir feet each day (63.1 %), did not perform self-monitoring (93.4 %), consumed more than two sources of carbohydrateduring the main meals (38. %)and/or added sugar, "panela" or honey to preparations (38.8 %). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of diabetic foot prevention practices recommended by doctors and carried out by patients was poor. Interdisciplinary programmes must thus be created and strengthenedfor preventing diabetes mellitus and diabetic foot, at primary- attention out-patient level, besides providing pertinent trainingfor health teams.
