ABSTRACT
Blastocystis hominis is a common human parasite with infection rates up to 50% in developing countries, and giardiasis is the commonest intestinal one in Mexico. No doubt, various parasites as Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica can cause rheumatic diseases. This study coproparasitoscopic analysis evaluated the cysts by B. hominis, G. lamblia, E. hartmani, E. coli and E. histolytica in Mexican rheumatic disease patients. Also, ELISA was used to detect E. histolytica, Ascaris lumbricoides, Toxocara canis, and Trichinella spiralis in Mexican patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Thirty-six patients (24 with AS and 12 with RA) and 77 healthy control individuals were enrolled in this study. The frequencies of protozoan cysts were comparable in rheumatic disease patients (AS and RA) and healthy control donors (33 and 25 vs. 26%, respectively; p > 0.05). The frequency of antibodies to T. canis was significantly higher in AS patients than in healthy control donors (16 vs. 2.6%, respectively; p = 0.027), whereas no differences were observed for the prevalence of antibodies for the other parasites (E. histolytica, A. lumbricoides and T. spiralis) (p > 0.05). This information indicates the need to intensify educational efforts for the prevention of parasite infections associated with AS disease that cannot be controlled only by drugs.

The objective of this paper is to present two cases of abdominal pregnancy, secondary, with fetal survival, studied at Hospital General de Zona No. 1, IMSS, at Villahermosa, Tabasco. Both patients were referred to our Unit for cesarean section by pelvic presentation. A review was done of: classification, clinical picture, operative findings, medical and surgical treatment, hemorrhagic complications, fetal findings and specific diagnostic methods. It was concluded that one should know about this condition, in order to offer a therapeutic option to the patients.

OBJECTIVE: Realize a somatometric study in the Tabasco zone and compared this results with a similar study. DESIGN: Full term newborns without patology take weight, height and head circumference. SETTING: In Villahermosa City, Capital of Tabasco State in México, from march 1, 1988 to january 31, 1989. SUBJECT: 915 fullterm newborn, male 450, female 465, from the patients of Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (Social Security System). RESULTS: The average weight in male was 3,290 g, with standard deviation (SD) 358 g, in female 3,130, SD 343 g (P less than 0.01); height in male 50.2, SD 1.3 cm, female 49.8, SD 1.3 cm (P less than 0.01); head circumference in male 34.7, SD 1.5 cm, female 34.5 SD 1.5 cm (P: without significance). We make our own percentiles. CONCLUSION: We found stadistic significance between both sexes; we don't found between another study; when we compared our work with others in past decades, observed the improved obtained by the people in our country.

Se presenta un caso de ruptura de membranas, diagnosticado por la inyeccion intraamniotica de azul de metileno el cual condiciono en el recien nacido neumonitis y hepatitis quimica, metahemoglobinemia, hemolisis e hiperbilirrubinemia que requirio exsanguinotransfusion en dos ocasiones. Se revisa el mecanismo de produccion del dano y se recomienda en estos casos, substituir el azul de metileno por otros colorantes inocuos para el recien nacido

Se presenta la tecnica de la exsanguinotransfusion a circuito cerrado y doble metriset en linea, que disminuye las complicaciones atribuibles a cambios cardiocirculatorios al imitar la circulacion neonatal y puede ser efectuado por una persona, permitiendo su sencillez vigilar los otros factores de morbimortalidad del procedimiento, situacion particularmente util en manos poco experimentadas
