ABSTRACT

Previous studies suggest that craniofacial manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) facilitates brain fluids clearance, reducing intracranial pressure and reabsorbing chronic subdural hematoma. This study aimed to explore the effect of craniofacial MLD in combination with pharmacological treatment for improving cranial pain intensity, vital signs, and cerebral edema (Hounsfield units, HUs) in moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Patient 1 received pharmacological therapy, while patient 2 received both pharmacological and craniocervical MLD treatment. Patient 2 showed decreased cranial pain intensity and systolic blood pressure (66%-11.11%, respectively) after two 30 min daily sessions of treatment for three days. HUs in the caudate nucleus of both hemispheres (left 24.64%-right 28.72%) and in the left temporal cortical gray matter increased (17.8%). An increase in HU suggests a reduction in cerebral edema and vice versa. For patient 1, there were no changes in cranial pain intensity, but a slight increase in the systolic blood pressure was observed (0%-3.27%, respectively). HUs decreased in the temporal cortical (14.98%) and caudate nucleus gray matter (9.77%) of the left and right cerebral hemispheres (11.96%-16.74%, respectively). This case study suggests that craniofacial MLD combined with pharmacological treatment could reduce cerebral edema, decrease head pain intensity, and maintain vital signs in normal physiologic values in patients with mTBI.

ABSTRACT

Introducción:La anemia ferropénica es un trastorno nutricional frecuente en mujeres embarazadas, alrededor del 75% a nivel mundial la padecen debido a inadecuada nutrición, falta de valoración durante la gestación incrementando el riesgo de morbi-mortalidad materno neonatal.Objetivo:Identificar la anemia ferropénica como factor de riesgo de emergencias obstétricas en gestantes atendidas del área de ginecología del Hospital General Teófilo Dávila en el segundo periodo del 2016.Métodos:Se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, no experimental, transversal, analítico correlacional, de 384 historias clínicas únicas de gestantes hospitalizadas en ginecología de julio a diciembre del 2016, bajo criterio de anemia ferropénica Hb < a 11g/L,Hematocrito (HCT) < 33%, Hemoglobina corpuscular media (MCH) < 30pg, Volumen corpuscular medio (VCM) < 79fL; los datos fueron procesados en base de datos elaborada en Excel y Epi Info y analizados mediante test de chi2,con nivel de significación de p<0.05Resultados:Hay asociación entre la anemia ferropénica y emergencia obstétrica (chi2 = 48.3566, p=0). También relación entre edad de las Gestantes y complicaciones (chi2=48.3459, p=0,032); las afectadas fueron de 15 a 24 años; presentando en el segundo trimestre de gestación; preeclampsia, hipertensión gestacional, placenta previa, eclampsia (chi2=14.8374, p=0,0381); tercer trimestre de embarazo; infección de vías urinarias; parto prematuro; abrupto placentario (chi2=, p=0).Conclusiones:La anemia ferropénica predominó en las gestantes como principal factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de emergencias obstétricas, la misma que tiene mayor impacto en adolescentes de 15 a 24 años de edad, asociada a suinadecuado estado nutricional


Introduction:Iron-deficiency anemia is a nutritional disorder in pregnant women; around 75% worldwide suffer from it, due to inadequate nutrition, lack of assessment during pregnancy; increasing the risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.Objective:To identify iron-deficiency anemia as a risk factor for obstetric emergencies in pregnant women treated Teófilo Dávila General Hospital gynecology area, 2016.Methods: A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional and analytical-correlational from 384 clinical histories, only of pregnant women hospitalized in gynecology, from July to December 2016. It was considered the criterion of iron-deficiency anemia Hb
