ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Alterations in throwing mechanics have been identified as a risk factor for overuse injuries in baseball players. Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) has been found to adversely affect throwing mechanics, but the effect of GIRD on medial elbow torque is unclear. PURPOSE: To investigate the relationship between GIRD and medial elbow torque in high school-aged baseball pitchers. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS: High school baseball pitchers (14-18 years old) were recruited for participation in this study. Players' height, weight, body mass index, and arm measurements were recorded as well as shoulder and elbow range of motion measurements. GIRD was calculated from the difference between dominant and nondominant shoulder internal rotation. Participants then pitched 5 fastballs at maximum effort while wearing a wireless sensor that recorded elbow torque, arm slot, arm speed, shoulder rotation, and ball velocity. Principal component analysis was performed to determine which variables were associated with elbow torque or ball velocity. RESULTS: Twenty-three high school pitchers participated in this study; 35% (n = 8) of participants exhibited GIRD of at least 20°. The mean GIRD was 15.3°± 11.2° and was not a predictor of medial elbow torque (P = .205) or ball velocity (P = .333). Ball velocity, age, and height were predictors of medial elbow torque (P = .012, P = .003, and P = .024, respectively). CONCLUSION: In high school baseball pitchers, GIRD was not associated with medial elbow torque during the pitching motion. Instead, ball velocity, player age, and player height carried greater significance. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study suggests that high school pitchers with GIRD do not have an inherently greater risk for increased medial elbow torque during the throwing motion. It is recommended that pitchers instead assess their ball velocity to evaluate for relative differences in medial elbow torque.

ABSTRACT

La infección del tracto urinario constituye un problema de salud frecuente. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal en el Hospital Pediátrico Raymundo Castro Morales de Puerto Padre, Las Tunas en el año 2006, con el objetivo de determinar algunas variables relacionadas con la infección urinaria en la edad pediátrica. Se evaluaron la edad, sexo, formas clínicas, principales hallazgos de laboratorio, factores de riesgo asociado y terapéutica antimicrobiana empleada. Los menores de un año fueron los más afectados. El sexo femenino predominó en todos los grupos de edad. La mayor incidencia del sexo masculino ocurrió en los lactantes. La forma clínica más frecuente fue la febril inespecífica que predominó en lactantes. El germen más aislado en los urocultivos fue Escherichia Coli. El antimicrobiano más utilizado fue la Amikacina(AU)


The Urinary Tract Infection constitutes a current health problem. A transversal descriptive research was carried out at Raymundo Castro Morales Pediatric Hospital in 2006 with the aim of determining a few variables related to the urinary infection at a pediatric age. Age, sex, clinical ways, main laboratory findings, associated risk factors and the antimicrobian therapeutic used were evaluated. The under one-year-old children were the most affected. Female sex was the most prevailing in all groups of age. The main incidence of the male sex ocurred in breast-fed children. Unspecific fever prevailed in breast-fed children, being the most frequent clinical way. Escherichia Coli was the most isolated germ in the cultures. Amikacine was the most used antimicrobian(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To report a new case of penile testicular ectopia. METHODS: We present the case of a three-year old boy who was diagnosed of penile testicular ectopia and underwent surgery. RESULTS: Physical examination revealed on ovoid tumor in the center of the dorsal side of the penile root, together with empty left scrotum. Inguinal incision revealed the exit of the spermatic cord from the left superficial inguinal ring, which was directed to a testicle in a subdermal position in the root of the penis. Funiculolysis and orchyopexy were performed. CONCLUSIONS: The case here reported corresponds to a penile testicular ectopia of central localizations, with normal inguinal course of the spermatic cord.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso de un niño de 3 años, diagnosticado y operado de ectopia testicular peneana. El examen físico reveló una tumoración ovoidea en el centro de la cara dorsal de la raíz del pene, acompañada de vacuidad de la bolsa escrotal izquierda. La inguinotomía evidenció la salida del cordón espermático por el anillo inguinal superficial izquierdo, el cual se dirigía hacia el testículo ubicado en situación subdérmica en la raíz del pene. Se realizó funiculolisis y orquidopexia en la bolsa escrotal correspondiente. El caso aquí presentado corresponde a una ectopia testicular peneana de localización central, con trayecto inguinal normal del cordón espermático(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To report our experience with pancreatic fistula after left nephrectomy to point out this unfrequent complication. METHODS: We perform a chart review of 3 cases of pancreatic fistula after left nephrectomy experienced in our institution between 1983-2004. RESULTS: All patients were males, with an average age of 51 years. Indications for nephrectomy were renal cell carcinoma, renal abscess and pyonephrosis. Classic Israel incision was the surgical approach in all three cases, with accidental opening of the peritoneum. Wound inflammatory signs appeared on third postoperative day, drainage of pancreatic juice on postoperative day 4. Treatment consisted on NPO 7 days, and intravenous hydration, atropin and wide spectrum antibiotics. Mean duration of pancreatic juice drainage was 8 days. CONCLUSIONS: Pancreatic tail injury is a possible complication of left nephrectomy due to the close anatomical vicinity of both organs, that may be altered by tumoral or inflammatory disease of the kidney. If not recognized, it may lead to a pancreatic fistula, the diagnosis and treatment of which should be known by the urologist.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To identify the most frequent urinary tract symptoms of acute appendicitis. To determine the findings in urine analysis. To establish statistically the relationships between age, sex, duration of abdominal pain, appendix position and the evolution stage with the findings on clinical history and urine analysis. METHODS: We studied 500 consecutive patients undergoing surgery for acute appendicitis registering all data specified in the objectives . The chi-square test was used to establish statistical relationships . RESULTS: One third of the patients showed some urinary symptoms; right flank pain and dysuria were the most frequent symptoms. Urinary sediment showed pyuria > 10 cells per high-power field in 1/7 patients, and more than 3 red blood cells per high-power field in 1/6. 1/7 patients presented proteinuria; and 1/77 presented casts. Urinary symptoms, proteinuria, and urinary casts appeared more frequently in patients older than 59 years; pyuria in the group between 15-19 years; and microhematuria in females. Pelvic and retrocecal appendix positions were associated with a higher incidence of voiding symptoms. Duration of abdominal pain and evolution stage did not have any statistical relationship with either symptoms or urine analysis findings. CONCLUSIONS: Urinary tract symptoms are frequent in acute appendicitis; their presence should not exclude the diagnosis of this disease. Urine analysis is not useful to rule out the existence of acute appendicitis.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de 315 fallecidos por Bronconeumonía Bacteriana en los servicios de Medicina Interna y Geriatría del Hospital General Docente Dr Ernesto Guevara de la Serna de Las Tunas; en el período comprendido entre el 1 de Enero de 1997 y el 31 de Diciembre del 2001, con el objetivo de describir los aspectos clínico-terapéuticos y anatomopatológicos de los casos objeto de estudio. Se revisaron las historias clínicas y protocolos de necropsias y se tomaron las variables: edad, sexo, factores predisponentes, sitios de adquisición de la enfermedad, manifestaciones clínicas más frecuentes, hallazgos necrópsicos más frecuentes y correlación clínico-patológica. Se encontró que el grupo de edad más afectado fue el de 80 y más (30,2 por ciento), el sexo de mayor frecuencia el masculino (53,66 por ciento), el factor predisponerte de más alto índice la insuficiencia cardiaca congestiva (41,6 por ciento), la bronconeumonía extrahospitalaria predominó en el 56,8 por ciento, se encontró predominio de los estertores crepitantes al examen físico en un 73,0 por ciento; el principal hallazgo en las necropsias de estos pacientes fue la ateromatosis aorto-coronaria en un 75,6 por ciento y se encontró correlación clínico-patológica en el 86,0 por ciento del total(AU)


A retrospective study was performed in 315 patients dead by Bacterial Bronchopneumonia in the services of Internal Medicine and Geriatrics of the Educational General Hospital Dr Ernesto Guevara from Las Tunas, in the period among January 1 1997 and December 31 2001, with the objective of describing the clinical-therapeutic aspects and anatomopathologics of the cases studied. The clinical histories and autopsies protocols were revised and were taken the variables: age, sex, predisposing factors, places of acquisition of the illness, clinical manifestations, necropsic discoveries more frecuent and pathological clinical correlation. It mas found that the more affected age group was 80 and more (30,2 per cent), the sex with higher incidence was the masculine one (53,66 per cent), the predisposing factor of higher index was Heart Failure (41,6 per cent), Extrahospitable Bronchopneumonia prevailed in 56,8 per cent prevalence from the crepitant stertors was found to the physical exam in 73,0 per cent; the main finding in the autopsies of these patients was the ateromatosis aortocoronaria in 75,6 per cent, and there was found pathological clinical correlation in 86,0 per cent of the total(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Aportación de un caso de dilatación quística del utrículo prostático. MÉTODO: Presentamos un caso de dilatación quística del utrículo prostático, asociado a agenesia renal derecha, en un paciente de 26 años que consultó por orquiepididimitis de repetición y antecedentes de hemospermia. RESULTADOS: El examen físico reveló una tumoración hipogástrica que simulaba un globo vesical, accesible además por el tacto rectal. La ultrasonografía y la uretrocistoscopia resultaron decisivas para el diagnóstico. El utrículo fue extirpado por vía transperitoneal, comprobándose la desembocadura en el mismo de ambos conductos deferentes y el uréter derecho (ciego). CONCLUSIONES: La tumoración descrita tenía características patológicas peculiares, que permitieron identificarla como dilatación quística del utrículo prostático. Esta anomalía debe tenerse en cuenta en el diagnóstico diferencial de las tumoraciones pelvianas en el varón (AU)

ABSTRACT

Este estudio evaluó la relación de la morfología facial y la estructura dentoesquelética con la razón profundidad muscular y fuerza oclusal en 40 pacientes, 20 normales y 20 con exceso vertical y mordida abierta. Se utilizaron ecografías bilaterales de masetero en contracción y relajación, radiografías cefálicas y P-A y un gnatodinamómetro para medir la fuerza oclusal bilateralmente a nivel de los primeros molares.- El promedio de la profundidad muscular en contracción fue de 11.72 mm para pacientes normales y 11.35 mm para pacientes con exceso vertical, sin diferencia significativa. El promedio de fuerza oclusal fue de 53.99 Kg para normales y de 36.21 Kg para excesivos (diferencia altamente significativa). El coeficiente de correlación entre fuerza oclusal y profundidad muscular en contracción no fue significativo (r<0.25).- El estudio sugiere una alta correlación entre fuerza oclusal y morfología facial, a diferencia de la falta de correlación notoria entre profundidad de masetero y morfología facial. En este grupo de individuos, en el que los pacientes con exceso vertical mostraron alta variabilidad morfológica, la fuerza oclusal y la morfología facial fueron independientes de la profundidad muscular, contrario a los estudios hasta ahora realizados.


An evaluation of the relationship between facial morphology and dentoeskeletal structure with muscular thickness and bite force was done. A group of 40 patients, 20 normal and 20 with vertical excess and open bite (10 of which had mandibular length excess) were selected. A bilateral masseter ultrasound imaging technique was used during contraction and resting posture. Profile and P-A radiographs were taken and a transducer was used to measure bite force bilaterally at the level of the first molars. Muscular thickness average during contraction was 11,72 mm. for normal patients and 11,35 mm. for patients with vertical excess, which did not show a significant difference (p>0.05). The average bite force was 53,99 Kg. for normal patients and 36,21 Kg. for others, which indicated a significant difference. The correlation between bite force and muscular thickness in contraction was of no significance (r<0.25). This study suggests a high correlation between bite force and facial morphology and no correlation between masseter thickness and facial morphology. In contrast to other studies, individuals with variable vertical excess showed that bite force and the facial morphology were not related to muscular thickness.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo del estudio fue relacionar la tensión pasiva labial y lingual y la presión labial en reposo, con el apiñamiento dental y la forma craneofacial. Se realizó en 40 pacientes de ambos sexos, con edades entre 16 y 30 años: 20 con mordida abierta anterior y altura facial inferior aumentada y 20 sin alteraciones oclusales o faciales. Se utilizaron un manómetro electrónico, un lipsómetro y un glosómetro para medir la presión pasiva labial, la tensión pasiva labial y la tensión pasiva lingual respectivamente.- En el grupo con exceso vertical las medidas fueron mayores en la altura facial, overbite, ángulo silla nasion con plano mandibular, longitud mandibular, ángulo goníaco, hendidura interlabial y altura del labio inferior. Dentoalveolarmente el ancho intermolar e intercanino fue mayor para el grupo con exceso vertical, pero la angulación de los incisivos inferiores fue mayor para el grupo normal. No se encontraron diferencias en cuanto a las variables funcionales (tensión pasiva labial, lingual y presión pasiva labial).


This study is part of a macro investigation that recorded respiration, electrical muscle activity, occlusal force, muscle volume, muscle vectors, dental crowding, labial and lingual passive tension, and labial pressure at rest. The objective of this part of the study was to evaluate labio-lingual passive tension and labial pressure at rest and relate them with dental crowding and craniofacial form. Recordings were made in 40 young adults, of both sexes, aged 16-30 years. 20 with anterior open bite and 20 with normal occlusions. Passive labial pressure was recorded with an electronic manometer, a lipsometer was used to record passive lip tension and a glosometer to record passive tongue tension. Dental casts were taken to assess crowding. Statistically significant differences were found between cephalometric variables such as anterior facial height, overbite, silla nasion - mandibular plane angle, interlabial gap and inferior labial height, these variables were great for the open bite group, and also the intermolar and intercuspid width. The incisor mandibular plane angle was great for the normal group. Event though there were no functional differences between the groups in the functional variables studied, such as passive labial tension, passive lingual tension and pasive labial pressure.
