ABSTRACT

Slipping rib syndrome is an overlooked cause of persistent abdominal or chest pain. The etiology of this syndrome is not well understood, but the characteristic pain is from hypermobility of the false ribs. Although it is a diagnosis of exclusion, misdiagnosis may lead to an excessive workup. A simple clinical examination via the hooking maneuver is the most significant feature of its diagnosis. We describe the case of a 41-year-old woman with slipping rib syndrome.

ABSTRACT

The Advanced Cardiac Life Support proposes the use of vasopressor drugs cardiopulmonary resuscitation, with the primary purpose of effectively and early restoration of spontaneous circulation. However, the increased return of spontaneous circulation with vasopressors has not improved neurological outcome at hospital discharge. Adrenaline has traditionally been the main tool of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation guidelines despite the lack of conclusive scientific evidence. Therefore other alternatives were considered at experimental level that has have failed to overcome the clinical results of this drug. In contrast to progress on the standardized management of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the controversy regarding the effectiveness of vasopressor therapy remains open in the last years due to lack of clinical data to support their usefulness.


El soporte vital avanzado propone el uso de vasopresores durante la resucitación cardiopulmonar, con la finalidad primordial de reestablecer de manera precoz y efectiva la circulación espontánea. Sin embargo, el aumento del retorno a la circulación espontánea asociada a los vasopresores no ha demostrado una mejoría en el pronóstico neurológico al alta hospitalaria. La adrenalina, ha sido tradicionalmente la herramienta principal de las guías de resucitación cardiopulmonar pese a la falta de evidencia científica concluyente. Por ello se han planteado otras alternativas a nivel experimental que no han logrado superar los resultados de este fármaco a nivel clínico. En contraste con los avances respecto al manejo estandarizado de la resucitación cardiopulmonar, el debate con respecto a la efectividad de la terapia vasopresora se mantiene abierto en los últimos años dada la falta de datos clínicos que corroboren su real utilidad.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Describir la actividad física en los estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia.Materiales y métodosEstudio descriptivo transversal. Se evaluaron 315 estudiantes de medicina de abril a mayo del 2009, mediante una encuesta validada previamente, utilizada para obtener información sobre hábitos personales, conceptos generales, entorno y dificultades de la actividad física.ResultadosEl 44,8% de los estudiantes practicaba actividad física aeróbica y el 31,4%, actividad física de fuerza. El 100% desconoce el concepto de actividad física. El 83,3% antes de ingresar realizaba más actividad física, el 93,3 % respondió que su universidad no promueve la actividad física.ConclusionesLa falta de tiempo, conocimientos y motivación fueron las dificultades para la práctica de cualquier tipo de actividad física y fue efectuada por más de la mitad de la población de estudiantes de medicina. Los factores más importantes asociados a este hecho son la interrupción de los hábitos saludables de vida por las exigencias de los estudios, la falta de conocimiento y enseñanza sobre actividad física en pregrado(AU)


Objective: To describe medical students physical activity in the Cayetano Heredia Peruvian University.Material and MethodCross-sectional study. We evaluated 315 medical students from April to May 2009, using a previously validated survey to obtain information about the personal habits, general concepts, environment and difficulties of the physical activity.ResultsA total of 44.8% of medical students practiced aerobic physical activity and 31.4% physical strength activity. None of them knew how to define physical activity. Most of them, 83.3%, practiced more physical activity before entering University, and 93.3% said that their University did not promote physical activity.ConclusionsThe lack of time, knowledge and motivation were the difficulties for practicing any type of physical activity, although more than half of the medical students did so. The most important factors associated were the interruption of the healthy life habits due to study load, the lack of knowledge about physical activity and education in undergraduate medical programs(AU)
