ABSTRACT

La anhedonia es la ausencia o capacidad reducida para experimentar placer. Es un síntoma importante en la depresión y un síntoma negativo de la esquizofrenia. Se presenta un estudio descriptivo prospectivo (diciembre 2018 a julio de 2020) con un seguimiento de seis meses, desarrollado en las Consultas Externas de Psiquiatría del Hospital Central de la Defensa Gómez Ulla. Para cuantificar la anhedonia se ha empleado la escala SHAPS y para el seguimiento de la clínica depresiva el cuestionario CET-DE. Se aplican también otras escalas como la escala CGI (impresión subjetiva gravedad/mejoría por parte del psiquiatra) y la EVA modificada (impresión subjetiva del paciente de su estado de gravedad). De 60 pacientes reclutados, 48 completaron el protocolo del estudio (2 visitas), siendo 60 % mujeres con una media de edad de 48 años. En la visita basal el porcentaje de anhedónicos fue del 67 %, de los cuales el 48 % fue considerado grave por parte del profesional sanitario. La presencia de anhedonia se relacionó con mayor puntuación en la escala CET-DE. Tras la intervención psicoterapéutica, en la visita final el porcentaje de anhedónicos fue del 29 % y se clasificaron como graves por parte del profesional sanitario un 25 % de los pacientes. La persistencia de anhedonia en la visita final fue un factor de mala evolución clínica, pudiendo concluir que es un componente de la sintomatología residual de la depresión y un indicador de mal pronóstico.

Anhedonia is the absence or reduced ability to experience pleasure. It is a major symptom of depression and a negative symptom of schizophrenia. We present a prospective descriptive study (December 2018 to July 2020) with a 6-month follow-up, developed in the Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic of the “Hospital Central de la Defensa, Gómez Ulla”. The SHAPS scale was used to quantify anhedonia and the CET-DE questionnaire was used to monitor clinical depression. Other scales such as the CGI scale (subjective impression of severity/improvement was use by the psychiatrist) and the modified VAS (patient’s subjective impression of his or her state of severity) were also applied. Out of 60 patients recruited, 48 completed the study protocol (2 visits), 60 % were women with a mean age of 48 years. At the firts visit the percentage of anhedonia was 67 %, with 48 % considered severe by the physician. The presence of anhedonia was related to a higher score on the CET-DE scale. After the psychotherapeutic intervention, the percentage of anhedonia at the last visit was 29% in general and 25% of patients were classified as severe by the health professional. The persistence of anhedonia at the final visit was a factor of poor clinical evolution and we can conclude that it is a component of the residual symptomatology of depression and an indicator of poor prognosis.

ABSTRACT

Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer death in men and the second leading cause in women worldwide. The use of low-dose computed tomography in early diagnosis was shown to reduce mortality by 20% with a median follow-up time of 6.5 years. In order to increase profitability and reduce radiation risks and costs, exhaled biomarkers could serve to help establish narrower inclusion criteria. The aim of this study was to identify new, well-founded volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath which distinguish LC patients from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and healthy subjects. There were 210 subjects enrolled and divided into three groups: control group (n = 89), COPD group (n = 40 stable COPD patients) and LC group (n = 81 with histological confirmation). Exhaled breath samples were collected using BioVOC® breath sampler devices. The analytical technique used was thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The compounds studied were hexanal, heptanal, octanal, nonanal, propanoic and nonanoic acids. Nonanoic acid showed statistically significant differences between the LC group and the other groups. It is 2.5 times and almost 9 times more likely to be found in the LC group than in the control group or COPD group, respectively. It is independent of histology but depends on tumour stage.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: El consumo de tabaco incrementa la proteína C reactiva (PCR) en suero. Se estudian sus valores en diferentes poblaciones: sanas (exfumadoras, fumadoras y no fumadoras), bronquitis crónica y enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) en diferentes estadios; además su variación relacionada con tiempo de abandono del tabaco y comorbilidades asociadas. Material y métodos: Análisis descriptivo‑transversal. Se estudiaron 401 personas: 106 sanas no fumadoras (SNF), 104 sanas fumadoras (SF), 95 sanas exfumadoras (SE), 30 con bronquitis crónica, 30 con EPOC incipiente (EPOCi) y 36 con EPOC avanzada (EPOCa), edades entre 45 y 80 años, determinándose PCR y comorbilidades asociadas. Resultados: Valores de PCR: 1,98 (2,1) mg/l SNF; 3,35 (4,39) mg/l SF; 2 (2,2) mg/l SE; 3 (3,8) mg/l bronquitis crónica; 3,40 (2,23) EPOCi y 5,94 (1,76) EPOCa. PCR en bronquitis crónica y EPOC disminuye a 2,7 (6,8) mg/l tras cinco años de abandono, permaneciendo constante después. Existen diferencias significativas entre SF y SNF; y tras cinco años de abandono entre bronquitis crónica y EPOC con SNF (p = 0,003). Sin diferencias significativas entre SE y SNF (p > 0,05) y entre SF y bronquitis crónica o EPOCi (p > 0,05) y entre diferentes estadios de EPOC e índices de comorbilidad. Conclusiones: PCR en SF es superior a SNF y similar a bronquitis crónica y EPOCi. En SF tras el abandono PCR retorna al valor de SNF. En las poblaciones con patología está significativamente elevada respecto a SNF y no regresa al nivel del SNF tras cinco años de abandono. Su nivel es independiente del índice de comorbilidad. El nivel de detección de enfermedad inflamatoria se sitúa en un valor de PCR: 3 mg/l (AU)


Objective: The smoking habit increases the C reactive protein in the serum. Values are studied in different populations: healthy (exsmokers, smokers and nonsmokers), chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in different stages; in addition the influence according to the time of abandonment of the tobacco and the associate comorbidities. Material and methods: Descriptive‑transversal analysis. 401 persons we studied: 106 healthy not smokers (HNS), 104 healthy smokers (HS), 95 healthy nonsmoker (HN), 30 with chronic bronchitis, 30 with incipient COPD (COPDi) and 36 with advanced COPD (COPDa), with ages included between 45 and 80 years old, being detrmined CRP and the associate comorbidities. Results: CRP’s values were: 1.98 (2.1) mg/l in HN; 3.35 (4.39) mg/l in HS; 2 (2.2) mg/l in HE; 3 (3.8) mg/l in chronic bronchitis; 3.40 (2.23) in COPDi and 5.94 (1.76) in COPDa. The CRP in chronic bronchitis and COPD falls to 2.7 (6.8) after five years of abandonment of the tobacco, remaining constant after. There exist significant differences between the HS and HN populations, and between chronic bronchitis and COPD after five years of abstinence with the population HN (p=0.003). There are not significant differences between HE and HN (p>0.05); between population HS and the population with chronic bronchitis and COPDi (p>0.05), and between COPD’s different stages and the indexes of comorbiditie. Conclusions: The value of the CRP in the HS population is similar to that on the chronic bronchitis and COPDi population, but higher to that of the HN. After the abandon of the smoking habit, in HS the CRP returns to the value of the HN population. In the populations with pathologies is significantly elevated as compared to HN and not return to the HN level after five years of abstinence. Their level is independent of comorbidity index. The detection level of inflammatory disease is at a value of PCR: 3 mg/l (AU)

ABSTRACT

Hypothesis: Among the causes of muscle dysfunction in COPD, mention has been made of decreased oxygen delivery during exercise. Saturation levels during the 6 minutes walking test could be associated to muscle mass and function. Population, material and methods: A group of 75 males patients, 48 (68.6%) males with COPD in different GOLD stages and 28 (74%) with chronic bronchitis (CB) were studied. Tests performed were spirometry, body mass composition analysis, 6 minutes walking test (6MWT), recording of mean hemoglobin saturation and greater or less than 4%, quadriceps voluntary contraction strength test (QMVC). Work performed (Ww) was determined by the Chuang equation and muscle mass by the Janssen Equation. Results: No statistical differences were found in age, body mass index (BMI), free fat mass index (FFMI), muscle mass index (MMI) and QMVC, 6MWT and Ww between the COPD and CB groups. Desaturation ≥ 4% was more frequent in the COPD group (p < 0.01) and was related with a limitation in the distance walked (p = 0.025). The mean SpO2 after 6MWT of ≤ 89% differentiates the COPD from the CB population (p = 0.002). We found no relationship between the different levels of SpO2 after the walk test and muscle mass parameters (MMI, FFMI). There was a statistical difference between patients with a mean SpO2 after the walk test ≤ 90% and the distance reached (p = 0.04). When the mean SpO2 was ≤ 89%, there was a decrease in the WW (p = 0.032). When the mean SpO2 was ≤ 88% we found a decrease in the QMVC (p = 0.05). Conclusions: After the 6MWT, SpO2 is more frequent, this having no relationship with the GOLD stage and is only related with the distance reached. Mean SpO2 after the 6MWT is more sensitive since it is related to performance parameters in the first place, then with muscle strength, and later with quadriceps contraction strength. We found no relationship between the desaturation parameters studied and the muscle mass measurements (AU)


Hipótesis: Entre las causas de la disfunción muscular en la EPOC se menciona el déficit en el aporte de oxígeno durante el ejercicio. Por ello, la saturación observada tras la prueba de la marcha de seis minutos (P6m) debe tener relación con la masa y la función muscular. Población, material y métodos: Se estudian 48 pacientes varones con EPOC, en distintos estadios GOLD, y 28 con bronquitis crónica (BC). Se les realizó una espirometría, análisis de composición corporal, P6m, registro de la saturación de la hemoglobina media y mayor o menor del 4% y análisis de la fuerza de contracción del cuádriceps (FCC). Se determina el trabajo realizado por la fórmula de Chuang y la masa muscular por la ecuación de Janssen. Resultados: No hubo diferencias significativas en la edad, índice de masa corporal (IMC), índice de masa libre de grasa (IMLG), índice de masa muscular (IMM) y FCC, P6m y trabajo realizado (Ww) entre los grupos. La desaturación ≥ 4% es más frecuente en el grupo EPOC (p < 0,01) con independencia del estadio y se relaciona con una reducción de la distancia recorrida (p = 0,025). La SpO2 media tras la marcha ≤ 89% diferencia a la población con EPOC de la población con BC (p = 0,002). No se encuentra relación entre los distintos niveles de SpO2 media tras la marcha y los parámetros de masa muscular (IMM, IMLG). Sí existen diferencias significativas entre la SpO2 media tras la marcha ≤ 90% y la distancia recorrida (p = 0,04). Cuando la SpO2 media es ≤ 89% se reduce el Ww (p = 0,032) y cuando la SpO2 media es ≤ 88% se aprecia una disminución en la FCC (p = 0,05). Conclusiones: Tras la P6m la SpO2 es más frecuente en la EPOC sin correspondencia con el estadio GOLD y sólo se relaciona con la distancia alcanzada. La SpO2 media tras el P6m es más sensible, ya que se relaciona en primer lugar con el rendimiento después con el Ww y con posterioridad la FCC. No encontramos relación entre los parámetros de desaturación estudiados y las medidas de masa muscular (AU)

ABSTRACT

Reumen. Se ha comprobado la utilidad de la gammagrafía con depreótida (un péptido que interacciona con receptores de somatostatina) en el diagnóstico de nódulos pulmonares malignos, pero se desconoce su rendimiento en el derrame pleural (DP) de posible origen neoplásico, donde la citología y biopsia pleural cerrada son de bajo rendimiento. Presentamos nuestra experiencia en tomogammagrafía SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) de receptores de somatostatina con 99mTc-depreótida en 12 pacientes con NPS (nódulo pulmonar solitario) sospechosos de malignidad y en los que se detectó la presencia de derrame pleural, bien en fase inicial o en el transcurso del seguimiento del NPS. Pacientes y método. Estudio retrospectivo (julio de 2004 a abril de 2006) de los pacientes con DP y sospecha de neoplasia intratorácica a los que se había realizado tomogammagrafía SPECT de tórax con depreótida marcada con Tc 99m como parte del trabajo diagnóstico. Resultados. Se registraron los datos de 12 pacientes. Se observó hipercaptación significativa (grado 2 o 3) del radiotrazador en 5 de 7 DP asociados a neoplasia del pulmón o pleural (categoría A), y en 3 DP asociados a cáncer extrapulmonar diseminado (categoría B). En otros dos pacientes se observó hipercaptación pleural y no se confirmó neoplasia intra o extratorácica (categoría C). Conclusiones. La tomogammagrafía con depreótida marcada (NeoSpect) podría ser de utilidad en el estudio de DP de origen tumoral. La existencia de resultados positivos con esta técnica en derrames no malignos hace necesarios estudios más amplios para determinar su valor diagnóstico (AU)


Summary. We know the use of depreotide scintigraphy (a peptide with affinity for the somatostatin receptor) in the diagnose of malignant pulmonary nodules, but we do not know the efficiency in neoplastic pleural effusions, where the cytology and percutaneous pleural biopsy are of poor efficiency. We show our experience in Technetium 99m-Tc depreotide single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in 12 patients with suspicious malignant solitary pulmonary nodule, who moreover had pleural effusion on start or during the follow up of solitary pulmonary nodule. Patients and method. Retrospective study (from July 2004 to April 2006) of patients with pleural effusion and suspicion of intrathoracic malignacy to whom we carried out thoracic 99m-Tc depreotide SPECT besides of other diagnostic procedures. Results. We registered the data of 12 patients and took notice of significant (degree 2 or 3) uptake in 5 out of 7 pleural effusions associated to pleural or lung neoplasm (group A) and in 3 pleural effusions associated to spread extrapulmonary primary tumor (group B). In 2 other patients we take notice of pleural uptake without confirmation of intrathoracic or extrathoracic malignancy (group C). Conclusions. The tomographical imaging got with somatostatin receptor scintigraphy with 99m-Tc depreotide (NeoSpect) can be used in the study of neoplastic pleural effusions. The positive findings in non-malignant pleural effusions make necessary extra studies to determine its diagnostic meaning (AU)

ABSTRACT

Estudios previos sugieren que los varones y mujeres jóvenes afectados de cáncer de pulmón (CP) pueden presentar diferencias entre ambos y así mismo respecto a los pacientes de mayor edad. Hemos realizado un estudio en pacientes varones y mujeres diagnosticados de neoplasia pulmonar maligna con una edad igual o menor a 50 años, en el periodo (1998-2006). Se identificaron 19 pacientes: 7 mujeres (36%) y 12 varones (64%). La edad media de la población estudiada fue de 44 ± 3 años (45 ± 3 M y 43 ± 3 V). El principal factor de riesgo identificado en ambos grupos fue el tabaco (92% V,84% M). En ambos grupos la practica totalidad de los pacientes estaban sintomáticos en el momento del diagnóstico. El LSD fue la localización más frecuente de CP tanto en varones como en mujeres. El adenocarcinoma fue el tipo histológico más frecuentemente diagnosticado en esta población con 5 casos (26%). Por sexos en la mujer fue el adenocarcinoma (29%), epidermoide (29%), no microcítico (29%) y tumor carcinoide (13%). En el varón, y de forma similar a la mujer tampoco se registró ningún caso con CP microcitico. El CP de células grandes fue el más observado (32%), seguido por el adenocarcinoma (25%) y epidermoide (17%). Las mujeres presentaron un mayor riesgo de enfermedad avanzada (83%), respecto a los varones (50%). La población masculina con CP se benefició en mayor porcentaje del tratamientoquirúrgico respecto a lo observado en mujeres. Durante el seguimiento fallecieron 12 pacientes (63%), 3 (42%)M y9(75%)V La supervivencia global durante los nueve años del estudio fue del 24%, apreciándose una mayor supervivencia en mujeres respecto a varones sin apreciarse diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ellos


Previously studies have suggested differiences in lung cancer between gender young people and between young people among ho elderly. We realised a retrospective study between 1998-2006 in patients with less than 50 years and with the diagnostic of lung cancer. We have revised clinical history, risks factors, histology, TNM stage, treatment and surviving.We identifiqued 19 patients with the diagnosed of lung cancer: 7 female (36%) an 12 males (64%). The median age was 44 year (45 female and 43 male). Tobacco was the main risk factor (female 71% and male 92%) In the diagnostic moment patients both groups were syntomatic. In all the group of study adenocarcinoma was the most frecuent histologic type 5 patients (26%). study both groups were syntomatic. Righ upper lobe was the most frecuenthy cancer location. Adenocarcinoma(29%), squamous carcinoma (29%), non microcitic carcinoma (24%) and carcinoide (13%) were the most frecuenty in women. Grant cell squamous carcinoma (32%), adenocarcinoma (25%) and squamous carcinoma were the most frecuent in men(17). Female group have more avanced cancer disease and surgery treatment was more frecuently utilized in male group. Three female (42%) and nine male (75%) death in the follow up period, global surviving was (22%) more in women than in men.During the study 12 patients died (63%), 3 female (42%) and 9 male (75%). Global suvirving during the 9 years of the study was 24%, we aprenated a highest suvirving in women than man without statistical significance (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Fue caracterizar las principales áreas temáticas en el sistema respiratorio a través de un estudio bibliométrico. Material y método: Para identificar y caracterizar las diferentes áreas temáticas del sistema respiratorio en España, se recopilaron los trabajos del área empleando una revista que fuera representativa de un amplio número de investigadores. En este sentido la revista Archivos de Bronconeumología es la publicación más importante en este campo en lengua española. Resultados: Fueron analizados un total de 2.198 artículos publicados en Archivos de Bronconeumología desde 1970 al año 2000. En cada década, no se encontraron diferencias significativas excepto en el índice de productividad en el área de oncología en la década de los ochenta, en las áreas de insuficiencia respiratoria y trastornos del sueño (IRTS) y oncología en la década de los noventa, además de en el índice de Price en el área de técnicas diagnósticas y terapéuticas en la década de los setenta. Al comparar el índice de productividad de cada área, entre décadas, hemos observado un incremento significativo en la década de los noventa con respecto a la de los setenta en las áreas de asma, IRTS, tuberculosis, infecciones no tuberculosas, circulación, oncología, enfermedades pleurales y enfermedades intersticiales, y en las áreas de asma, IRTS, infecciones no tuberculosas, circulación y enfermedades pleurales entre la década de los noventa y la de los ochenta. El área de tuberculosis mantiene el índice de aislamiento más alto, pero hemos encontrado un incremento progresivo en el mismo en las áreas de IRTS, infecciones no tuberculosas, oncología y enfermedades intersticiales. Conclusiones: En general todos los indicadores se mantienen estables aunque las áreas más productivas fueron IRTS y oncología. La productividad aumento en las áreas de asma, IRTS, tuberculosis, infecciones no tuberculosas, oncología, circulación y enfermedades pleurales e intersticiales


Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the leading topics in respiratory system in Spain through a bibliometric analysis. Material and method: For identify and characterize the performance of the different research topics in respiratory system in Spain, we compile the production using a journal that turn out representative of a broad group of researcher. In this sense the journal Archivos de Bronconeumología is the most important publication in Spanish language of this field. Results: A total of 2198 articles published in Archivos Bronconeumología from 1970 to 2000 were analyzed. In each three decades, we did not found differences except in the productivity index in oncology in the eighty decade and in respiratory failure and sleep disturbance (RFSD) and oncology areas in the ninetieth decade and in the Price index (consumption indicators) in the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques area in seventy decade. When we compare the productivity index of each subject areas between decades, we found a significant production increase in the ninetieth decade in asthma, RFSD, tuberculosis, non tuberculosis infection, circulation, oncology, pleural disease and interstitial areas versus the same in seventy decade, and also, we found significant differences between ninetieth and eighty decades in the asthma, RFSD, non tuberculosis infection, circulation and pleural disease areas. Tuberculosis area maintains an insularity index higher than the other areas. We also found a progressive increase in the insularity index of RFSD, non tuberculosis infection, oncology and interstitial disease areas. Conclusions: In general all the indicators maintains stable although the more productivity topics were respiratory failure and sleep disturbances, and oncology. The productivity has increased in asthma, respiratory failure and sleep disturbances, tuberculosis, non – tuberculosis respiratory infections, oncology, pulmonary circulation, pleura and interstitial disease

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study were: to analyze the spanish production in diagnostic and therapeutics research area of respiratory system in international journals from 1990 to 2002. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Papers published in diagnostic and therapeutics area of respiratory system during this period of time were selected by the PUBMED system. We delimited the production with key words: respiratory system and the one that is used by the diagnostic and therapeutics research area. RESULTS: We obtain a total of 67 document published in international journals by spanish authors. The scientific production in the diagnostic and therapeutics area have stabilized in this 12 years period. The distribution of articles by the institutional affiliation and province of authors also showed a wide dispersion: Barcelona and Clinic and Provincial Hospital of Barcelona were responsible for 43.1% and 23.8% of all the production. Bronchoalveolar lavage and the use of telescopic catheter were the type of diagnostic and therapeutic procedure more productive. CONCLUSIONS: The scientific production in the diagnostic and therapeutics area of respiratory system have stabilized in this 12 years period, this evidence contrast with the high growth detected in respiratory system in general.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze key word usage in Archivos de Bronconeumología, by comparing words used in the journal to those used in the Index Medicus database within various respiratory system knowledge areas, and to determine whether usage has changed over time. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Original articles published in Archivos de Bronconeumología from 1994 through 2001 were reviewed manually to gather the key words used. The list was translated to English and then compared to the medical subject heading (MeSH) terms used in the PubMed Browser. RESULTS: Seven hundred six original articles published in the study period used a total of 1163 key words. Matches with MeSH terms were found for 62% (n=46) of the key words in smoking research, 48% (n=52) in asthma, 39% (n=82) in respiratory insufficiency and sleep disorders, 60% (n=49) in diagnostic and treatment techniques, 61% (n=35) in tuberculosis, 65% (n=87) in nontuberculous infections, 61% (n=121) in oncology, 60% (n=37) in circulation, 55% (n=47) in pleural diseases, 48% (n=21) in pathophysiology, and 64% (n=68) in interstitial diseases. We did not see a clear tendency in the evolution of the journal's key word usage for the knowledge areas analyzed during the study period. The percentage of matching key words held steady around 50% over the last 3 years. CONCLUSIONS: Respiratory system key words in the knowledge areas we investigated are used correctly in Archivos de Bronconeumología only about 50% of the time.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analizar las palabras clave utilizadas en las diferentes áreas de sistema respiratorio a través de la revista ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGÍA, comparándolas entre sí, determinando su evolución y cotejándolas con las empleadas en el Index Medicus. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó una revisión manual de los originales publicados en ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGÍA entre los años 1994 y 2001 y se anotó las palabras clave encontradas en ellos. Se efectuó una comparación de las palabras clave con las utilizadas por el MeSH Browser de PubMed, para lo que previamente tuvieron que traducirse al inglés. RESULTADOS: Se encontraron 706 originales en el período estudiado. En ellos se emplearon un total de 1.163 palabras clave, de las que han resultado correctas, comparadas con las del MeSH, el 62% (n = 46) en tabaquismo, el 48% (n =52) en asma, el 39% (n = 82) en insuficiencia respiratoria y trastornos del sueño, el 60% (n = 49) en técnicas diagnósticas y terapéuticas, el 61% (n = 35) en tuberculosis, el 65%(n = 87) en infecciones no tuberculosas, el 61% (n = 121 ) en oncología, el 60% (n = 37) en circulación, el 55% (n = 47) en pleura, el 48% (n = 21) en fisiopatología y el 64% (n = 68) en enfermedades intersticiales. No hemos encontrado una tendencia definida en la evolución de las palabras clave a lo largo de los años en las áreas analizadas. El porcentaje de palabras correctas se ha mantenido en torno al 50% en los últimos 3 años. CONCLUSIONES: En las áreas de sistema respiratorio estudiadas sólo se emplean de una manera correcta alrededor del 50% de las palabras clave


OBJECTIVE: To analyze key word usage in ARCHIVOS DEBRONCONEUMOLOGÍA, by comparing words used in the journal to those used in the Index Medicus database with in various respiratory system knowledge areas, and to determine whether usage has changed over time.

ABSTRACT

El grado de confort, seguridad y rapidez conseguido en el transporte por vía aérea, hacen de éste medio un cada vez más popular sistema de transporte, que es utilizado por un gran número de pasajeros. La horquilla de edad en el pasaje se ha ampliado y la accesibilidad a un espectro social cada vez más extenso, ha hecho que el número de pasajeros/año se multiplique. Durante los últimos meses y fundamentalmente producido por la muerte de una pasajera como consecuencia de un tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP) durante un viaje desde Australia a Europa, se ha discutido sobre el denominado Síndrome del Pasajero de Clase Turista o Económica, en numerosos foros internacionales y se han publicado datos todavía incompletos sobre éste problema. Muchas preguntas todavía no han respondido de acuerdo a una base científica ¿Cuántos casos?, ¿Se asocia al vuelo?, ¿Cómo podemos prevenirlo?.En este trabajo se analiza la incidencia según la bibliografía consultada, así como aspectos epidemiológicos, fisiopatológicos, factores de riesgo, diagnóstico, probabilidad y medidas preventivas que por parte del usuario, compañías y autoridades aeronáuticas se deberían establecer para evitar en la medida de los posible ésta complicación. Finalmente se discute las bases fisiopatológicas en las que se desarrolla la trombosis venosa profunda (TVP) y el tromboembolismo pulmonar, tratando de definir éste síndrome como consecuencia de factores relacionados con el medio aeronáutico y en el contexto eventual de su aparición durante el vuelo o como consecuencia directa de éste (AU)


Comfort, safety and time saving makes air travel more and more popular and widely use by an increased number of people in a range of extended age frame. Recent concerns in the global news have again raised an issue about the association of thromboembolic disease and air travel. Although there are numerous studies in the literature examining venous thromboembolic disease (VTE), variability of population demographics makes difficult a right and prospective assessment in the context of the cabin environment and air travel. Literature review clearly demonstrate that VTE is multicausal in nature, resulting in differing etiologic and predisposing factors across different age groups. Many questions are still to be answered, How many cases?, Direct association to Air Travel?, How to prevent it in the aviation environment?. In this paper we analize the incidence of VTE and some additional epidemiological aspects, risk and predisposing factors, diagnostic, and preventive measures given by the airline, the user, aviation authorities, aeromedical especialist in order to cope this complication. Finally we discuss the physiophatological bases in which VTE is developed and related considerations of this symdrome in the context of the aviation environment (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess retrospectively the utility and the profitableness of the diagnostic procedures and techniques in patients with idiopathic BOOP. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied epidemiological features, clinical manifestations, respiratory function tests, chest radiology, and other diagnostic procedures and techniques, as well as the evolution and the mortality rates in patients with histological diagnosis of idiopathic BOOP during the period 1992-1999. RESULTS: 20 patients (55% F, 45% M). Age: 64 +/- 15 years old, 50% smokers. The mean period elapsed since the beginning of the symptoms and the time of diagnosis was 51 +/- 30 days. The clinical presentation is of a subacute influenza-like illness, with fever, cough, dyspnea and crackles. The more common abnormalities were. WBC (10,949 +/- 2,6429 mm3, ESR 85 +/- 86 UI/L, LDH 309 +/- 86 UI/L. Arterial blood gas: PaO2 64 +/- 9, PaCO2 35 +/- 3 mmHg. Pulmonary function tests: VCF 81 +/- 25%, FEV1/VCF 78 +/- 17%, TLCO 74 +/- 9%, TLCO sb 77 +/- 4%. Radiological evaluation: bilateral multiple patchy alveolar opacities 75%), solitary focal lesion (15%) and interstitial opacities (10%). The bronchoscopy and BAL 10/20 (50%). Transbronchial biopsy 12/20 wit diagnosis (60%). The video assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy 1/20 (5%) and open lung biopsy 7/20 (35%). Recurrences 8/20 (40%). Mortality rate 3/20 (15%). CONCLUSIONS: The idiopathic BOOP is a benign entity clinic inespecific, associated to hypoxemia and bilateral alveolar opacities. The transbronchial biopsy is a diagnostic procedure alternative to the open lung biopsy, in a compatible clínico-radiological context. The response to treatment is acceptable although it presents frequent exacerbations, and low mortality rate.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Estudio retrospectivo de la utilidad y rentabilidad de las técnicas y procedimientos diagnósticos en pacientes con BONO idiopática. Material y métodos: Pacientes con diagnóstico histológico de BONO idiopática periodo (1992-1999). Realizándose análisis demográficos, manifestaciones clínicas, laboratorio, funcionales, radiológicas, procedimientos y técnicas de diagnóstico, evolución y mortalidad. Resultados: 20 pacientes (55 por ciento) M, (45 por ciento) V. Edad 64 ± 15 años, 50 por ciento fumadores. Intervalo entre inicio clínico y diagnóstico 51 ± 30 días. Un cuadro pseudogripal, junto a fiebre, tos, disnea y estertores crepitantes fueron las manifestaciones más frecuentes. Leucocitosis (10.494 ± 2.642) células/mm3,VSG 85 ± 86 UI/L, LDH 309 ± 86 UI/L. Gasometría arterial: PaO2 64 ± 9, PaCO2 35 ± 3 mm de Hg. Función respiratoria: CVF 81 ± 25 por ciento, VEF1/CVF 78 ± 17 por ciento, DLCO 74 ± 9 por ciento, KCO 77 ± 4 por ciento. Rx: opacidades alveolares múltiples bilaterales (75 por ciento), nodulares solitarias (15 por ciento) e intersticiales (10 por ciento). Fibrobroncoscopia y lavado broncoalveolar 10/20 (50 por ciento). Biopsia transbronquial 12/20, siendo diagnóstica en (60 por ciento). Videotoracoscopia 1/20 (5 por ciento) y biopsia abierta pulmonar 7/20 (35 por ciento). Exacerbaciones 8/20 (40 por ciento), falleciendo 3/20 (15 por ciento) pacientes. Conclusiones: La BONO idiopática es una entidad benigna, clínicamente inespecífica asociada a hipoxemia moderada y opacidades alveolares bilaterales. La biopsia transbronquial constituye una técnica diagnóstica alternativa a la biopsia abierta pulmonar en un contexto clínico-radiológico compatible. La respuesta al tratamiento es buena, presentando frecuentes exacerbaciones y baja mortalidad. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is the most common form of localized bronchopulmonary amyloidoses, although its diagnosis is not very frequent in daily practice. We present a case of localized tracheobronchial amyloidosis presented as hemoptysis. The diagnosis and treatment were performed with rigid bronchoscopy and resection with an Nd-YAG laser.
