ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves cardiometabolic markers, but its effects on the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not well known. AIM: To determine the effects of a 12-week HIIT exercise program on cardiometabolic and quality of life variables of T2D patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Nine T2D women were assigned to a HIIT + nutritional education (GE) and 10, to a nutritional education alone group (GC). At baseline and after each intervention, anthropometric and body composition parameters using bio-impedance were assessed, and a blood sample was obtained to measure serum lipid levels, blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin. Quality of life was assessed using the SF-12 questionnaire adapted for the Chilean population. RESULTS: There were no significant changes on the lipid profile variables in the GE group, although HDL cholesterol was increased significantly (p < 0.05) in the GC group. Total fat mass was decreased in the GE group from 43.5 ± 1.5 to 41.9 ± 1.5%, p < 0.01. Fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin decreased in the GE group. There was a significant correlation between the decrease in total fat mass and that of glycated hemoglobin. There were significant increases in quality of life parameters; physical function, physical role, pain, general health, vitality, emotional role, mental health, and social function in the GE but not in the GC group. CONCLUSIONS: A 12-week program of HIIT plus nutritional education improves cardiometabolic and quality of life parameters on type 2 diabetics.

We report a 16-year-old boy, who suffered a right vent ride penetrating injury caused by a sharp blade that evolved to cardiac tampon. He underwent surgery and was discharged four days later. Thirteen days later, a cardiac murmur was found. An echocardiography showed an aorta-right ventricular fistula. Surgical closure was performed through an aortotomy on cardiopulmonary by pass. The control echocardiography showed a small residual fistula, which closed spontaneously three months later.

Se estudió la frecuencia de enteroparasitosis en general y de Entamoeba histolytica en particular, en una población infantil de 3 a 14 años de edad y de residencia urbana en la ciudad de Temuco. Se estratificó el universo en estudio, según nivel socioeconómico, escolaridad y sexo. Se realizó exámenes coproparasitológicos en serie de tres muestras (método de Burrows) a 269 niños. De estos, 119 pertenecían al estrato socioeconómico medio alto y 150 al nivel bajo. Se comprobó infección parasitaria entérica en 161 (59,9%) de los examinados, identificándose las siguientes especies: Giardia lamblia (27,9%); Trichuris trichiura (10,0%) y Ascaris lumbricoides (7,4%). La presencia de E. histolytica se dtectó en 30 casos (11,2%), correspondiendo 9(7,6%) al nivel medio alto y 21 (14%) al nivel bajo, con claro predominio en el rango de edad de 3 a 7 años. Entre los comensales Entamoeba coli fue la especie de mayor frecuencia (24,9%). Por el análisis estadístico se concluyó que las variables incorporadas en el estudio, no resultaron determinantes en las diferencias observadas en ambos grupos examinados
