ABSTRACT

El presente trabajo analiza la sintomatología del trastorno por estrés postraumático en mujeres víctimas de violencia sexual en función de la edad en que tuvo lugar dicha violencia y del tipo de violencia ejercida (puntual o reiterada). Se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional de cohorte retrospectivo, con una muestra de usuarias de la Asociación de Mujeres Víctimas de Agresiones Sexuales (AMUVI) que habían sufrido algún tipo de violencia sexual. Se las evaluó con una entrevista semiestructurada de elaboración propia y con la escala de gravedad de síntomas del trastorno por estrés postraumático. Los resultados indican que, si bien no existen diferencias significativas entre grupos, son las mujeres mayores de 20 años y víctimas de violencia puntual las que presentan un mayor número de síntomas, con algunas diferencias significativas en función de su frecuencia. Estos resultados invitan a continuar investigando este fenómeno


The present study analyzes the symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in women victims of sexual violence based on the age at which the violence took place and the type of violence (punctual or repeated). An observational, retrospective cohort study was carried out with a sample of users of the Association of Women Victims of Sexual Assault (AMUVI) and victims of some type of sexual violence. They were evaluated with an own elaboration semi-structured interview of and with the Scale of severity of symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. The results indicate that, although there are no significant differences between groups, women over 20 years of age and victims of point violence present a greater number of symptoms, and there are some significant differences depending on the frequency. These results invite us to continue investigating this phenomenon

ABSTRACT

El presente trabajo analiza el grave problema de la violencia sexual ejercida sobre las mujeres en función del momento vital en que tuvo lugar dicha violencia, y de un amplio número de variables sociodemográficas que nos permiten ofrecer una descripción del perfil de las víctimas y de las condiciones que probabilizan dicha victimización. Se realizó un estudio observacional, de cohorte retrospectivo, con una muestra de mujeres que acudieron a la Asociación de Mujeres Víctimas de Agresiones Sexuales (AMUVI) y declararon haber sufrido violencia sexual. Se les aplicó una entrevista elaborada para el caso que recogía información de diferentes variables, existiendo diferencias significativas en función de la edad a la que fueron agredidas. Los resultados obtenidos en cuanto a la frecuencia de la violencia sexual, el nivel socioeconómico de la víctima, la relación víctima-agresor, la diferencia de edad entre ellos, el tiempo transcurrido desde la primera agresión, las estrategias utilizadas por el agresor, el apoyo familiar y las consecuencias físicas, sugieren la existencia de dos perfiles de víctimas. Este hallazgo permitirá mejorar la calidad de los programas de prevención a mujeres víctimas de violencia sexual (AU)


This paper discusses the serious problem of sexual violence on women depending on at what point in his life it took place and depending on a wide number of demographic variables that allow to provide a description of the profile of the victims and the conditions that make more likely that victimization. An observational retrospective cohort was conducted. For this purpose, we elaborated an interview where we asked about different variables that were answered by sample of women attending the Association of Women Victims of Sexual Assault to declare that they had suffered sexual violence. They did an interview with some variables: frequency of sexual violence suffered, socioeconomic status of the victim, relationship with the perpetrator, age difference between the victim and the aggressor, time since sexual violence happened, strategies used by the perpetrator or family support received. The conclusions suggest the existence of two profiles, and these profiles can be used to improved the quality of the prevention programs for women victims of sexual violence (AU)

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION: To determine the accuracy of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen (CA) 15.3, CA 19.9, and CA 125 for diagnosis of mucinous ovarian cancer (MOC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Samples were collected preoperatively from patients with mucinous ovarian tumor. The following variables were analysed: CEA, CA 15.3, CA 19.9, and CA 125. After surgery, histology and stage were determined according to FIGO-classification. Patients were classified into two groups according to the diagnosis of ovarian biopsy: NOT MOC and MOC. RESULTS: The authors studied 94 patients with ages between 15 and 80 years (median = 43). Eighty-two patients were NOT MOC (68 mucinous ovarian cystadenomas and 14 mucinous borderline ovarian tumors) and 12 were MOC. All MOC patients were in FIGO Stages I or II. No statistically significant differences were found between MOC and NOT MOC patients according to CEA and CA 15.3 (p > 0.05). All MOC patients had abnormal serum CA 19.9 and/or CA 125 levels. Using CA 19.9 and CA 125, we performed a linear regression formula CA 19.9+125 = 0.00102 x CA 19.9 + 0.00057 x CA 125. AUCs values were 0.862 (p = 0.0002), 0.829 (p = 0.0021), and 0.911 (p = 0.0001) for CA 19.9, CA 125, and CA 19.9 + 125, respectively. CA 19.9 + 125 exhibited 95.1% specificity and 66.7% sensitivity, increased by 16.7% sensitivity compared with using only CA 19.9 or CA 125. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative CA 19.9 and CA 125 levels showed high diagnosis efficacy to predict whether a mucinous ovarian tumour is benign or malignant. Using both markers simultaneously increases the sensitivity for diagnosis of MOC.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La endofuga tipo 2 (EF2) es la complicación más frecuente tras EVAR, con una tasa de crecimiento del saco variable y un tratamiento de resultados poco efectivos. Se pretende analizar la incidencia de EF2, su persistencia y evolución en una población homogénea, buscando variables predictoras de crecimiento del saco. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Setenta EF2 (32,2%) detectadas en 217 EVAR aortoilíacos tratados con GORE(R) Excluder entre 2003 y 2011. Seguimiento clínico y con angiotomografía computarizada (media 32,5 meses). Análisis univariante de datos recogidos de forma prospectiva. Función de supervivencia de Kaplan-Meier y regresión de Cox. RESULTADOS: Un 90% de varones con edad media 75,5 ± 8 años y diámetro aórtico 59,6 ± 10 mm. El vaso aferente más frecuente fue una arteria lumbar (n = 42), con un 30% de endofugas complejas (n = 21). Veinticinco endofugas fueron transitorias (35,7%) y 45 persistentes, grupo este último con mayor número de mujeres (p = 0,044) y de colaterales aferentes al saco (1,5 ± 0,7 vs. 1,2 ± 0,4, p = 0,022). Crecimiento > 5 mm en un 38,6% de casos (mediana 8,5 mm, rango 5-24); once se trataron con embolización (éxito 63,6%). Las endofugas complejas no incrementaron el riesgo. El único predictor independiente de crecimiento en la regresión de Cox fue la edad (HR 2,71 IC 95% 1,01-7,19 p = 0,046). CONCLUSIONES: Las EF2 constituyen una complicación frecuente y sin factores predictores sólidos que permitan estratificar el riesgo de crecimiento del saco, por lo que es necesario un seguimiento exhaustivo


INTRODUCTION: Type 2 endoleaks (T2E) are the most common finding after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), with a variable sac growth rate and a treatment with unpromising results. The aim of this study is to analyze the incidence of T2E and their evolution in a homogeneous population, seeking predictors for sac growth. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 70 T2E (32.2%) were detected in 217 aorto-iliac EVAR treated with a GORE(R) Excluder endograft from 2003 to 2011. They were systematically followed-up with contrast enhanced tomography (mean 32.5 months). Univariate analysis of prospectively collected data; Kaplan-Meier survival functions and multivariate Cox regression. RESULTS: 90% of patients with T2E were males, with a mean age 75.8 ± 8 years, and mean aortic diameter 59.5 ± 10 mm. The most common persistent collateral vessel was a lumbar artery (n = 42), with 30% of complex T2E (n = 21). The endoleaks were transient in 25 cases (35.7%), and 45 persisted for more than 6 months, the latter with a higher percentage of women (p = 0 .044), and total number of afferent vessels (1.5 ± 0.7 vs. 1.2 ± 0.4, p = 0 .022). Sac growth over 5 mm was observed in 38.6% of cases (median 8.5 mm, rank 5-24), with eleven of those treated with trans-arterial or trans-lumbar embolization (63.6% success). Complex endoleaks did not show a higher risk profile. Age was the only independent risk factor in the Cox regression analysis (HR 2.71, 95% CI; 1.01-7.19 p = 0 .046). Conclusions : T2E are a frequent complication, with no solid predictive factors for stratifying sac growth risk, thus needing close surveillance

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El deterioro renal postoperatorio puede ser útil para predecir el resultado y la supervivencia de la reparación de aneurismas de aorta abdominal, tanto abierta como endovascular. Objetivo: Evaluar la función renal en cirugías de aorta abdominal, y analizar su capacidad predictiva de eventos adversos a corto y largo plazo. Pacientes: Trescientos diez pacientes con aneurisma de aorta abdominal intervenidos en nuestro centro (cirugía n = 150, reparación endovascular [EVAR] n = 160) entre 2003 y 2007, con seguimiento medio postoperatorio de 37,9 meses. Métodos: Recogida prospectiva de datos clínicos y función renal cada 12 horas hasta el tercer día posquirúrgico. Análisis univariante y multivariante, curvas COR y funciones de supervivencia de Kaplan-Meier. Resultados: La edad y el riesgo ASA fueron superiores en el grupo endovascular (p < 0,001). La mortalidad perioperatoria fue del 4 % (4 % cirugía, 4,4 % EVAR, p = 0,869), y la creatinina basal fue similar en ambas técnicas (cirugía 1,10 ± 0,21 mg/dl, EVAR 1,08 ± 0,25 mg/dl; p = 0,570). El fallo renal preoperatorio se asoció (p < 0,001) a mayor mortalidad perioperatoria, complicaciones y reintervención, pero no se comportó de forma independiente a otros factores. El fallo renal post-operatorio fue más frecuente en cirugías abiertas (39,8 % frente a 21,8 %, odds ratio [OR] = 1,82, p = 0,015) y predijo significativamente (p < 0,001) eventos adversos en cirugía y en EVAR, así como inferior supervivencia a 3 años (log rank p = 0,038). El análisis multivariante confirmó su excelente perfil predictivo para ambas técnicas (cirugía OR = 4,7, EVAR OR = 4,4). El riesgo fue máximo a partir de 1,40 mg/dl de creatinina máxima en los 3 días postoperatorios (COR AUC 0,919). Conclusiones: El deterioro postoperatorio de la función renal puede indicar qué grupos de pacientes sufrirán más eventos adversos a corto y largo plazo, de forma más precisa e independiente que otros marcadores de riesgo(AU)


Introduction: Postoperative renal impairment can predict outcomes and survival of open and endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Objectives: To assess renal function in abdominal aortic surgery, and analysing its predictive power for both short and long-term adverse events. Patients: A total of 310 patients with abdominal aorta aneurysm who underwent surgery in our centre (open aortic repair [OAR] n = 150, endovascular aortic repair [EVAR] n = 160) from 2003 to 2007, with a mean postoperative follow-up of 37.9 months. Methods: Prospective collection of clinical data, serum creatinine determinations every 12 hours up to 3rd postoperative day. Uni- and multivariate analysis, ROC curves and Kaplan-Meier survival plots. Results: Mean age and ASA risk score were significantly higher in the endovascular group (p < 0.001). Perioperative mortality was 4.2 % (4 % open repair, 4.4 endovascular, p = 0.869), and preoperative creatinine levels were similar in both groups (OAR 1.10 ± 0.21 mg/dl, EVAR 1.08 ± 0.25 mg/dl, p = 0.570). Preoperative renal impairment (p < 0.001) was found to be associated with higher short-term mortality, complications and reintervention, but without showing independence to other risk factors. Postoperative renal dysfunction was more common in open repair group (39.8 % vs 21.8 %, odds ratio [OR] = 1.82, p = 0.015) and successfully predicted (p < 0.001) adverse events both in open and endovascular repair, and lower 3-year survival rate (log rank p = 0.038). The multivariate analysis confirmed this predictive power for both techniques (open repair OR = 4.7, endovascular OR = 4.4). Risk was higher for serum creatinine values over 1.4 mg/dl on any of the 3 postoperative days (ROC AUC 0.919). Conclusions: Postoperative renal impairment more precisely identifies groups of patients at increased risk for short and long-term adverse events, and independently of other risk factors or preoperative renal dysfunction(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La cirugía convencional de los aneurismas toracoabdominales (ATA) todavía conlleva una elevada morbimortalidad, por lo que han surgido alternativas: endoprotesis con ramas y tratamiento híbrido. Objetivo. Se presenta la experiencia preliminar con tratamiento híbrido en ATA extensos. Material y métodos. Entre octubre de 2006 y septiembre de 2009 se trataron 5 pacientes con ATA extensos mediante cirugía híbrida, cuyas historias clínicas fueron retrospectivamente examinadas. Un caso se presentó con rotura, y fue el único tratado de manera urgente. Sólo dos procedimientos se realizaron durante una única intervención. En todos, excepto uno, se realizó revascularización renovisceral completa. La arteria subclavia izquierda fue ocluida intencionadamente en dos ocasiones, sin revascularización. Siempre se empleó un sistema de drenaje de líquido cefalorraquídeo. Para el seguimiento se empleó tomografía computarizada en el primer mes, a los 6 y 12 meses y anualmente. Resultados. La mortalidad inmediata fue nula. Ningún paciente presentó paraplejia. Dos pacientes sufrieron complicaciones respiratorias. En dos casos se registró un incremento de creatinina Ý 0,5 mg/dl, con recuperación. La permeabilidad inmediata fue del 100 %, sin endofugas en el primer control. El seguimiento oscila entre 4,9 y 37,4 meses (mediana 26,5 meses); se registraron dos exitus: hemorragia intracraneal a los 31 meses y sepsis a los 37,4 meses. Este último caso tenía una endofuga tipo I distal a los 6 meses, que no fue tratada. Conclusión. Los resultados del tratamiento híbrido en ATA extensos aparentan ser prometedores, aunque todavía no hay evidencia de que disminuya la morbimortalidad y cuál será su papel futuro (AU)


Introduction. Given that open repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAA) is stillassociated with high mortality and morbidity, alternative techniques have arisen: branchedendografts and hybrid procedures (debranching plus endoprosthesis).Objective. To report our preliminary experience with hybrid procedures for extensive TAA.Materials and methods. Medical records of 5 patients with extensive TAA treated by abdominaldebranching plus endoprosthesis from October 2006 to September 2009 were retrospectivelyreviewed. Elective procedures were performed in all but one with rupture. Only in two patientswas treatment performed during a single intervention. Total debranching was performed in allcases but one. The subclavian artery was occluded without revascularisation in two patients.A cerebrospinal drainage was employed in all cases. Follow-up was assessed by computedtomography during the fi rst month, at 6, 12 months and annually thereafter.Results. There was no immediate mortality. No patient suffered paraplegia. Respiratorycomplications appeared in two patients, and worsening of renal function (creatinine increase¡Ý 0.5 mg/dl) appeared in other two cases, both with recovery. Immediate patency rate was100 %, without endoleaks during the fi rst assessment. Follow-up ranges from 4.9 to 37.4 months(median 26.5). Two patients died (intracerebral haemorrhage at 31 months and sepsis at37.4 months). The latter also developed a distal type I endoleak at 6 months, which was nottreated.Conclusion. Results of hybrid treatment for extensive TAA seem to be promising, although thereis still not enough evidence to demonstrate that it decreases mortality and morbidity, or whatwill be its role in the future(AU)

ABSTRACT

La violencia contra las mujeres o violencia de género está recibiendo una mayor atención social e institucional en nuestro país culminando con la Ley Orgánica 1/2004, de 28 de diciembre, de Medidas de Protección Integral contra la Violencia de Género. La exposición a la violencia de género en el ámbito doméstico se ha demostrado que es también causante de efectos negativos para los hijos e hijas de las mujeres víctimas, cualquiera que sea la edad de los menores, quienes pueden sufrir la violencia de forma directa, en forma de malos tratos físicos o emocionales, o de forma indirecta, siendo testigos de los actos violentos que padecen sus madres. En el presente trabajo se exponen las repercusiones que tiene para el desarrollo evolutivo, emocional, cognitivo y social de los menores, el ser testigos de la violencia hacia sus madres, así como el problema de la transmisión transgeneracional de los comportamientos violentos


Violence against women or gender-based violence is receiving more social and institutional attention in Spain, culminating in the Organic Law 1/2004, December 28th, of Integral Protection Measures Against Gender-based Violence. It has been demonstrated that the exhibition to gender-based violence in the domestic area is a cause of negative effects on sons and daughters of female victims as well, whatever the age of children, who can suffer the violence in a direct way, through physical or psychical abuse, or indirectly, being witnesses of violent acts whose mothers are victims. In the present work, we exposed the repercussions on evolutionary, emotional, cognitive and social development of children by being witnesses of violence towards their mothers, as well as the intergenerational transmission of violent behaviours

ABSTRACT

Objetivo:. Se describe nuestra experiencia en el manejo de los aneurismas de arterias digestivas (AAD) en el periodo 1975-2001.Pacientes y métodos: Hemos tratado 20 pacientes: 11 aneurismas esplénicos, 1 de tronco celiaco, 1 de mesenterica superior, 2 de arteria hepática, 1 de arteria gastroduodenal, 1 de arteria gastroepiploica y 3 de arterias pancreaticoduodenales. Representando el 1'45 per cent de los aneurismas intervenidos en este periodo. El tratamiento fue quirúrgico en todos, excepto en el de un aneurisma de arteria pancreática, que fue endovascular, debutando con una de hemorragia digestiva. El 20 per cent debutó con clínica de ruptura y shock hipovolémico. La mortalidad fue del 20 per cent en los rotos y del 6.66 per cent en los íntegros. Conclusiones . Exceptuando los aneurismas esplénicos, hemos encontrado una alta incidencia de oclusiones asintomáticas del tronco celiaco (55'5 per cent). La asociación de oclusiones crónicas del tronco celiaco o de la mesenterica superior condiciona la hipertrofia de las vías colaterales de suplencia, favoreciendo la formación de aneurismas a dicho nivel (AU)

ABSTRACT

The exact prevalence of visceral arteries aneurysms is not well documented and its is mainly known from necropsies. Inferior mesenteric artery aneurysms are the rarest of visceral aneurysms. The authors report a case of an aneurysm of the inferior mesenteric artery in a 52-year-old man with obstructive disease of superior mesenteric artery and celiac axis. The diagnosis was made by angiography. The aneurysm was resected with superior and inferior mesenteric arteries revascularization. Surgical approach is needed in these aneurysms and when they are associated with obstructive disease of other intestinal artery, revascularization is mandatory.

ABSTRACT

Acute ischemia due to arterial embolism occurred in the right leg of a male drug abuser who had developed fungal endocarditis as a result of Candida parapsilosis. Transesophageal echocardiography aided in the diagnosis. The patient was successfully treated with fibrinolysis and surgery. The clinical features and management of this serious condition have been reviewed in the literature.

ABSTRACT

Intestinal artery aneurysms are usually asymptomatic; however when rupture occurs, mortality rates of up to 75% have been reported. Celiac artery aneurysms are quite infrequent, only about 4% of all visceral aneurysms; their association with Aortic Aneurysms is found in 18% of cases; their association with popliteal aneurysms has not been documented so far. A case of an adult male with celiac artery aneurysm associated with Aortic and Popliteal Aneurysms is reported. The patient was operated. In a first procedure the celiac and aortic aneurysms were resected, an aortic graft was placed, and hepatic artery reimplantation was performed; in a second procedure the popliteal artery was resected and a vascular reconstruction performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient remains asymptomatic two years later. Diagnosis was based on a CT scan with selective visceral angiography. Elective surgical intervention must be performed when intestinal artery aneurysms are discovered.
