ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: Evaluar la función del ventrículo derecho (VD) e izquierdo (VI) en la hipertensión pulmonar (HP) mediante resonancia magnética cardíaca (RMC). Material y métodos: En pacientes con (grupo HP; n = 9) y sin (grupo control; n = 9) HP se evaluó volumen telediastólico (VTD) y telesistólico (VTS) y fracción de eyección (FE) de ventrículo derecho (VD) e izquierdo (VI), área de aurícula derecha (AD) e izquierda y diámetro de arteria pulmonar (AP). Resultados: En HP, el VD presentó mayor VTD y VTS y menor FE (HP 52 ± 5% vs. control 64 ± 2%; p < 0,05). Solo en HP se observó movimiento anormal del tabique interventricular y realce tardío en los puntos de inserción del VD en VI. En HP aumentó el área de AD y el diámetro de AP. En VD, solo en HP, la FE se correlacionó negativamente con VTD (Pearson r: –0,8290; p < 0,01) y VTS (Pearson r: –0,7869; p < 0,05). Conclusiones: La evaluación de pacientes con HP mediante RMC demuestra alteraciones fisiológicas y anatómicas de las cavidades derechas con disminución de la FE del VD que también afecta la interrelación VD/VI. Se recalca la importancia de una evaluación temprana y secuencial del VD con RMC para valorar la mejor estrategia terapéutica para cada caso en particular.


Abstract Objective: To evaluate the function of the right ventricle (RV) and left ventricle (LV) in pulmonary hypertension (PH) through cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Material and method: In patients with (PH group; n = 9) and without PH (control group; n = 9), end-diastolic volume (EDV) and end-systolic volume (ESV) and ejection fraction (EF) of right (RV) and left (LV) ventricle, area of the right (RA) and left (LA) atrium and diameter of the pulmonary artery (PA) were evaluated. Results: In PH, the RV increased EDV and ESV and decreased EF (PH: 52 ± 5% vs. control: 64 ± 2%; p < 0.05). Abnormal movement of the interventricular septum and late enhancement in the insertion points of the RV in the LV were only observed in HP. HP increased the area of RA and the diameter of PA. In LV, only in HP, EF was negatively correlated with EDV (Pearson r: –0.8290; p < 0.01) and ESV (Pearson r: –0.7869; p < 0.05). Conclusions: CMR evaluation of patients with PH demonstrates physiological and anatomical alterations of the right cavities with decreased EF in RV that also affects the RV/LV interrelationship. The importance of an early and sequential evaluation of the RV with CMR is emphasized to assess the best therapeutic strategy for each particular case.

ABSTRACT

Background: Environmental noise can cause auditory and non-auditory adverse effects. Aim: To identify daily environmental noise patterns in two urban sites of Metropolitan Santiago. Material and Methods: Continuous measurements of environmental noise in two sites of Metropolitan Santiago were analyzed by means of hierarchical cluster analysis. One site was a main street with heavy traffic and the second was a street from a neighborhood with intense nocturnal activity. The first phase of analysis consisted of clustering noise profiles with similar shapes according to the average linkage method, with correlation as the similarity measure. The second phase grouped the profiles with similar shapes into sub-clusters that also had similar absolute noise levels, using the complete linkage method, with absolute distance as the similarity measure. Results: Two noise patterns were identified for the first site, one for weekdays (Monday to Friday) and another for weekends (Saturday and Sunday). For the second site five different patterns were identified (Monday to Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Also different patterns appeared for summer compared to the rest of the year. The noise levels of both sites were high. Conclusions: The detected noise levels can be annoying, cause sleep disturbances and increase the risk for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, among other effects.


Antecedentes: El ruido ambiental puede tener efectos adversos auditivos y no auditivos. Objetivo: Identificar patrones diarios de ruido ambiental en dos sectores urbanos de Santiago, Chile. Material y Métodos: Se analizaron mediciones continuas de ruido ambiental realizadas en dos emplazamientos urbanos de Santiago, Chile, mediante análisis de cluster jerárquico. Los dos lugares fueron una avenida principal con alto tráfico vehicular y una calle en un barrio con intensa actividad nocturna. La primera fase del análisis agrupó perfiles de ruido con formas similares de acuerdo al método de vinculación promedio, usando la correlación como medida de similitud. La segunda fase agrupó los perfiles con formas similares en subclusters que también tuvieran niveles de ruido similares, usando el método de vinculación completa, con la distancia absoluta como medida de similitud. Resultados: Se identificaron dos patrones para el primer emplazamiento, uno para días de semana (lunes a viernes) y otro para fines de semana (sábado y domingo). Para el segundo emplazamiento se identificaron cinco patrones diferentes (lunes a miércoles, jueves, viernes, sábado, y domingo), así como patrones distintos para el verano en comparación con el resto del año. Los niveles de ruido en ambos lugares fueron altos. Conclusiones: Los niveles de ruido detectados podrían producir molestias, perturbación del sueño, incremento de riesgo de hipertensión y enfermedades cardiovasculares, entre otros efectos.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: to estimate the prevalence ofpeer victimization (VI-P) and to identify factors associated to it. Methods: a cross sectional study based on a state-representativesample; 2555 students from primary and secondary schools of Campeche, in the academic year 2015-2016 participated. They were interviewed face to face. VI-P was analyzed by sex, age and various school-related aspects with prevalence rate and 95% confidence interval. The analysis of interactions among the studied factors was carried out using a hierarchical log-lineal model. With the significant terms,a multiviarite analysis using a logistic model was performed. Based on this model, maximum and minimum predictive values for VI-P were calculated by odds inverse transformation. Results: the global prevalence of VI-P was 60.4% (CI95%= 58.6-62.3). The prevalence of violence physical, psycho-emotional, patrimonial, and sexual, were 28.8, 52.9, 26.5, and 8.7%, respectively. Students in the first year, who were male, had classes scheduled in the evening, attended a public school and resided in a municipality of high/highest margination index, had the highest probability (75.3%) of suffering VI-P. Conclusions: given the high levels of VI-P found, and its possible effects, it is necessary implement truly effective measures to prevent it.


Resumen Objetivos: estimar la prevalencia de la victimización por pares (VI-P) e identificar factores asociados. Métodos: se realizó un estudio transversal en una muestra representativa de las escuelas del estado de Campeche; se entrevistaron 2555 estudiantes de primaria y secundaria del ciclo escolar 2015-2016. Los alumnos fueron entrevistados cara a cara. Se analizó la tasa de prevalencia de VI-P según sexo, edad y varios aspectos relacionados con la escuela, con un intervalo de confianza de 95%. Las interacciones entre los factores estudiados se analizaron mediante un modelo jerárquico log-linear saturado. A partir de los términos que resultaron significativos, se realizó un análisis multivariado mediante un modelo logístico. Con base en este modelo, se calcularon los valores predictivos máximo y mínimo para la VI-P mediante la transformación inversa de probabilidades. Resultados: la prevalencia global de VI-P fue 60.4% (CI95%= 58.6-62.3). Las prevalencias de violencia física, psicoemocional, patrimonial y sexual fueron: 28.8, 52.9, 26.5 y 8.7%, respectivamente. Los estudiantes de primer grado, hombres, del turno vespertino, que asisten a una escuela pública, y de municipios con alto/muy alto índice de marginación, tuvieron la mayor prevalencia de VI-P (75.3%). Conclusiones: dados los altos niveles de VI-P encontrados, y considerando sus posibles efectos, es necesario implementar medidas realmente efectivas para prevenir este tipo de violencia.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: Diversos autores han argumentado que el componente de urgencia miccional en incontinencia urinaria mixta (IOM) es diferente a la incontinencia de urgencia pura (IOU). En este caso ha sugerido que la incontinencia en IOM puede ser sobrediagnosticada en pacientes con IOE que malinterpretan su pérdida como IOU. OBJETIVOS: Evaluar las características clínicas y urodinámicas de pacientes con IOM e IOU pura. MÉTODOS: Realizamos un estudio retrospectivo de nuestra base de datos de urodinamia evaluando 450 mujeres con IOM e IOU. Se excluyeron pacientes con vejiga neurogénica, fístulas, divertículo uretral, cirugía uroginecológica previa, obstrucción infravesical conocida, radioterapia pélvica previa, infección del tracto urinario e ingesta de psicofármacos. A todos se les realizó historia clínica completa, examen físico, uroflujometría, cistometría de llenado y estudio presión flujo. RESULTADOS: No existen diferencias en relación a edad, menopausia y número de partos. La presencia de nicturia fue mayor en el grupo de IOU (66,4% vs. 46,1%, p 0,0004) al igual que el aumento de la frecuencia miccional (53,6% vs. 34,6%, p 0,0006). Al examen físico la presencia de hipermovilidad uretral e IOE fue mayor en el grupo de IOM, mientras que la presencia de trofismo vaginal reducido fue mayor en IOU. No encontramos diferencias en la sensibilidad y capacidad vesical. La presencia de detrusor hiperactivo fue de 56,4% en IOU pura vs. 33,2% de IOM (p < 0,0001). No encontramos diferencias en estudio presión flujo. CONCLUSIONES: Existen diferencias significativas en los parámetros clínicos y urodinámicos entre pacientes con IOM e IOU pura. La urgencia en pacientes con IOU pura estaría más relacionada con detrusor hiperactivo. Es probable que muchos pacientes con IOM solo tengan IOE pura, lo que llevaría a efectos positivos en los resultados de cirugía antiincontinencia


INTRODUCTION: Various authors argued that the voiding urgency component in mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) is different than urge urinary incontinence (UUI). In this last case they suggest that incontinence in MUI could be overdiagnosed in patients with SUI, misunderstanding the leak as UUI. Objetives: To evaluate clinical and urodynamic characteristics of patients with MUI and pure UUI. METHODS: A retrospective study of our urodynamics database was performed evaluating 450 women with MUI and UUI. Patients with neurogenic bladder, fistulae, urethral diverticula, previous urogynecologic surgery, known infravesical obstruction, previous pelvic radiotherapy, urinary tract infection or psychiatric drugs intake. A full clinical history, physical exam, uroflowmetry, filling cystometry and pressure flow study were performed. RESULTS: There is no difference relative to age, menopause and number of births. The presence of nocturia was bigger in the UUI group (66.4% vs. 46.1%, p 0.0004) the same as increased voiding frequency (53.6% vs. 34.6%, p 0.0006). The presence of urethral hypermobility and SUI in the physical exam was greater than MUI, meanwhile the presence of reduced vaginal trophism was bigger in the UUI group. Differences in sensibility or specificity were not found. The presence of overactive detrusor was 56.4% in pure UUI vs. 33.2% in MUI (p < 0.0001). No differences in pressure flow study were found. CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant difference in the clinical and urodynamic parameters between patients with MUI and pure UUI. The urgency in patients with pure UUI could be related to overactive detrusor. It is probable that many patients with MUI just have pure SUI which could lead to positive effects in the outcomes of anti-incontinence surgery

ABSTRACT

Air quality in schools is an important public health issue because children spend a considerable part of their daily life in classrooms. Particulate size and chemical composition has been associated with negative health effects. We studied levels of trace element concentrations in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in indoor versus outdoor school settings from six schools in Chañaral, a coastal city with a beach severely polluted with mine tailings. Concentrations of trace elements were measured on two consecutive days during the summer and winter of 2012 and 2013 and determined using X-ray fluorescence. Source apportionment and element enrichment were measured using principal components analysis and enrichment factors. Trace elements were higher in indoor school spaces, especially in classrooms compared with outdoor environments. The most abundant elements were Na, Cl, S, Ca, Fe, K, Mn, Ti, and Si, associated with earth's crust. Conversely, an extremely high enrichment factor was determined for Cu, Zn, Ni and Cr; heavy metals associated with systemic and carcinogenic risk effects, whose probably origin sources are industrial and mining activities. These results suggest that the main source of trace elements in PM2.5 from these school microenvironments is a mixture of dust contaminated with mine tailings and marine aerosols. Policymakers should prioritize environmental management changes to minimize further environmental damage and its direct impact on the health of children exposed.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to describe the prognostic impact of microvascular invasion (MVI) in patients with non-metastatic renal cell cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We carried out a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study of patients with non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma who had undergone a radical or partial nephrectomy. Patients were divided according to the presence of MVI. In each group, clinical and pathological characteristics were evaluated. Metastasis-free and cancer-specific survival was evaluated by the Kaplan Meier method. The multivariate analysis was performed with Cox proportional method in order to predict risk factors of metastasis and cancer-specific mortality. RESULTS: A total of 221 patients with a median of 40-month long follow-up were evaluated. Patients with MVI+ were 40 (18%) while those with MVI - were 181 (82%). In the univariate analysis, the presence of MVI had a strong correlation with symptomatic tumors (OR 3.56; p 0.0003), tumor size (OR 12.08; p <0.0001), nuclear grade (OR 6.99; p <0.0001), pathological stage (OR 35.8; p <0.0001), distance metastasis (OR 4.16; p 0.0001), and death by cancer (OR 4.7; p 0.0004). However, in the multivariate analysis it is not presented as an independent predictor of metastasis (HR 0.45; p 0.11) or cancer-specific mortality (HR 0.93; p 0.91). CONCLUSIONS: In our series, MVI is associated with unfavorable tumors characteristics. In spite of this, it does not seem to be an independent predictor for metastasis and death by non-metastatic renal cancer.

ABSTRACT

Concentrations of organochlorine pesticides were quantified in samples of feathers (n = 17) and blood (n = 15) of the ferruginous pygmy owl (Glaucidium brasilianum). The individuals were captured near the Protected Natural Area Cerro Sonsonate, Chiapas, Mexico, between February and June 2014. In both tissues, pesticides belonging to seven organochlorine chemical families were detected. However, the organochlorine pesticide concentrations differed between feathers and blood. The highest concentrations of hexachlorocyclohexanes were found in feathers (0.63 ± 0.89 µg/g), whereas the highest concentrations of ΣDrines were found in blood (0.31 ± 0.47 µg/mL). By using the summed concentrations for each of the seven families of pesticides found in feathers, we did not find any significant correlation between the pesticides and pectoral muscle or body weight (p > 0.15). The ΣDDT group was the only pesticide family that showed a positive correlation with owl body weight (r = 0.60, p = 0.05); the concentrations of these pesticides were also high in feather and blood tissues (r = 0.87, p = 0.02). Our results confirm that ferruginous pygmy owls in the study area are exposed to these pesticides.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To assess the association between empty bladder stress test and objective and subjective measures of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) severity. METHODS: Prospective, analytic and descriptive study of females with diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence referred for urodynamics study. Every patient underwent medical history (including number of daily pads) and physical examination, ISIQ-SF and short IIQ-7 questionnaires, and full urodynamic study, including the measurment of the abdominal leak pressure point (ALPP). Positive empty stress test was defined as stress urine leak on physical exam after uroflowmetry evacuation and in absence of significant post-void residual. To evaluate the relationship between empty bladder stress test and each one of the stress urinary incontinence severity measures, Stundent's t test was performed, considering a 〈0.05 value statistically significant. RESULTS: 107 patients were studied in the final analysis; of them 49 had empty bladder stress test (+) and 58 (-). Patients with positive test wet a greater number of protectors per day (3.9 vs 2.8; p 0.013), higher ICIQSF score (15.04 vs 12.22; p 0.0007), higher IIQ-7 score (52.2 vs 37.5; p 0.0049) and lower urodynamics ALPP (73 cm H2O vs 91 cm H2O; p 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with SUI and positive empty bladder stress test had a strong association with the objective and subjective perception of urine incontinence severity with a negative impact in patients quality of life.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Evaluar la asociación entre la prueba de vejiga vacía en posición supina y mediciones objetivas y subjetivas de severidad de incontinencia de orina de esfuerzo (IOE). MÉTODOS: Se realiza un estudio prospectivo, analítico y descriptivo de mujeres derivadas para estudio urodinámico por incontinencia de orina de esfuerzo. A todas las pacientes se les realizó interrogatorio (incluyendo número de protectores diarios) y examen físico, cuestionarios ISIQ-SF, IIQ-7 corto y estudio urodinámico completo (incluyendo medición de punto de presión de pérdida abdominal (VLPP)). La prueba de vejiga vacía en posición supina positiva fue definida como la pérdida de orina de esfuerzo al examen físico posterior a la evacuación vesical en la uroflujometría y en ausencia de residuo postmiccional significativo. Para evaluar la relación entre el resultado del test de vejiga vacía y cada una de las mediciones de severidad de incontinencia de orina de esfuerzo se realizó el test de Student, considerando un valor <0,05 como estadísticamente significativo. RESULTADOS: Se estudiaron 107 pacientes en el análisis final, de los cuales 49 presentaban test de vejiga vacía (+) y 58 test de vejiga vacía (-). Las pacientes con test (+) refirieron utilizar un mayor número de protectores por día (3,9 vs 2,8; p 0,013), mayor puntuación en el cuestionario ICIQ-SF (15,04 vs 12,22; p 0,0007), mayor puntaje en el cuestionario de impacto de incontinencia IIQ-7 (52,2 vs 37,5; p 0,0049) y menor VLPP en el estudio urodinámico (73 cm H2O vs 91 cm H2O; p 0,0002). CONCLUSIONES: Las pacientes con IOE que presentan test de vejiga vacía (+) tienen una fuerte asociación con la percepción objetiva y subjetiva de la severidad de la incontinencia de orina con un impacto negativo en la calidad de vida de la paciente

ABSTRACT

El APE ha derivado en el diagnóstico de CaP en etapas más tempranas de la enfermedad. Por otra parte, existen evidencias de que muchos pacientes son sobretratados. La vigilancia activa tiene como premisa reducir el sobre tratamiento y la morbilidad relacionada con el tratamiento primario. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar las características patológicas desfavorables en pacientes sometidos a PR que fueron estratificados pre-operatoriamente de bajo riesgo según 10 modalidades para definir pacientes posibles de seguimiento activo. Realizamos un estudio retrospectivo y analítico de 230 pacientes con diagnóstico de CAP y tratados con PR, realizadas entre 1999 y 2011 en el Centro Urológico Profesor Bengió. Se evaluaron las características clínicas en 10 protocolos de seguimiento activo. Las variables anatomopatológicas evaluadas en la pieza de PR fueron el estadio patológico, SG de la pieza operatoria, la extensión extraprostática (EEP), invasión de vesículas seminales y compromiso de ganglios linfíticos regionales. El informe histopatológico fue realizado por un único uropatólogo (VB).En cada uno de los protocolos se evalúa el índice de recurrencia bioquímica. La población del estudio fue 198 pacientes. La media de edad fue 63 años. La media de APE 12,4/ml. Predominaron los estadíos clínicos T1c (48 por ciento) y T2 (48 por ciento). El índice de concordancia entre el SG de la biopsia y la PR en la serie se observó en 128 pacientes (64,6 por ciento). La extensión extraprostática, invasión de vesículas seminales e invasión ganglionar fue encontrada en 44 (22,2 por ciento), 38 (19,2 por ciento) y 3 (1,5 por ciento) pacientes respectivamente. La presencia de elementos patológicos desfavorables en pacientes candidatos a seguimiento activo oscila entre 12 por ciento y el 32 porciento. En nuestra serie de pacientes tratados con prostatectomía radical, los esquemas de vigilancia activa más estrictos, basados en APE <10ng/ml,...


The PSA has resulted in the diagnosis of prostate cancer in earlier stages of the disease. Moreover, there is evidence that many patients are over-treated. Active surveillance tries to prevent overtreatment and reduce the morbidity associated with primary treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adverse pathologic features in patients who underwent RP and were stratified preoperatively as potential candidate for active surveillance through 10 different protocols. A retrospective study of 230 patients diagnosed with CAP treated with PR, conducted between 1999 and 2011 in the Urological Center Professor Bengio. Clinical characteristics were evaluated in 10 active surveillance protocols. Pathologic variables evaluated in RP specimens were pathological stage, surgical specimen SG, extraprostatic extension (EEP), seminal vesicle invasion and regional lymph nodes. The histopathological report was done by a single uropathologist (VB). In each of the protocols biochemical recurrence rate was evaluated. The study population was 198 patients. The average age was 63. The mean PSA 12.4 / ml. Predominant clinical stages T1c (48 percent) and T2 (48 percent). The concordance rate between the SG biopsy and RP in the series was observed in 128 patients (64.6 percent). Extraprostatic extension, seminal vesicle invasion and lymph node involvement was found in 44 (22.2 percent), 38 (19.2 percent) and 3 (1.5 percent) patients, respectively. The presence of unfavorable pathological elements in candidates for active surveillance patients ranges from 12 percent to 32 percent. In our series of patients treated with radical prostatectomy, stricter schemes of active surveillance based on PSA <10ng/ml, clinical stage T1c-T2a, biopsy Gleason score ¡Ü 6 and minimally invasive biopsy (<2 cylinders and <50 percent involvement) show better agreement with favorable histopathology findings in radical prostatectomy and correspond with greater biochemical recurrence-free survival...

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: To experience food insecurity determines negative consequences regarding nutrition, health and general wellness among older adults and their families. In Chile it practically doesn't exist any information related to it, despite this matter represents a major public health issue in other countries in the region. OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of food insecurity and it's relation with socio-demographic, economic and nutritional factors among older adults residing in medium-low and low-income status districts, in the Great Santiago area. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study in 344 older adults, between 65 and 74 year-old; a socioeconomic, demographic, nutritional and food-insecurity survey at the homes (HFIAS). A prevalence of food insecurity and it relation with the independent variables was determined, by means of multi-variety logistic regression models. RESULTS: The 40.4% of the sample presented food insecurity (95% IC 35.2-45.6%), predominantly of the mild type, with a higher proportion of women, at the limit of the statistic significance. The probability of perceiving food insecurity was significantly associated to low family income (OR 4.2 IC 2.1-8.6), with a greater number of members in the home (OR 2.4), malnutrition by deficit and/or excess (OR 2.0), not to be the owner of the house (OR 2.0), and low individual income (OR 1.8). CONCLUSIONS: There exists a high prevalence of food insecurity among this population, which is associated with socio-demographic, economic and nutritional status. The food security represents an important public health and nutritional issue in the country, which needs to be investigated further.


Introducción: Experimentar inseguridad alimentaria determina consecuencias negativas en la nutrición, salud y bienestar general de los adultos mayores y sus familias. En Chile prácticamente no existe información al respecto, a pesar de ser un importante problema de salud pública en otros países de la región. Objetivos: Determinar la prevalencia de inseguridad alimentaria y su relación con factores sociodemográficos, económicos y nutricionales en Adultos Mayores residentes en comunas del nivel socioeconómico medio-bajo y bajo del Gran Santiago. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional transversal en 344 adultos mayores de 65 a 74 años; encuesta socioeconómica, demográfica, nutricional y de inseguridad alimentaria en el hogar (HFIAS). Se determinó prevalencia de inseguridad alimentaria y su relación con las variables independientes por modelos de regresión logística multivariados. Resultados: El 40,4% de muestra presentaba inseguridad alimentaria (95% IC 35,2-45,6%), predominantemente de tipo leve, con una proporción mayor en mujeres, en el límite de la significación estadística. La probabilidad de percibir inseguridad alimentaria se asoció significativamente con bajos ingresos familiares (OR 4,2 IC 2,1-8,6), con mayor número de personas en el hogar (OR 2,4), malnutrición por déficit o exceso (OR 2,0), no ser propietario de la vivienda (OR 2,0) y menores ingresos personales (OR 1,8). Conclusiones: Existe una alta prevalencia de inseguridad alimentaria en esta población, la que se asocia con variables sociodemográficas, económicas y nutricionales. La seguridad alimentaria es un importante tema de salud pública y nutrición en el país, que debe ser investigado en mayor profundidad.

ABSTRACT

Los criterios de Epstein (densidad del antígeno prostático específico <0,15, score de Gleason en la biopsia <6, menos de 3 cilindros comprometidos, menos del 50 por ciento de afectación por cilindro) representan el método más utilizado para predecir cáncer de próstata clínicamente insignificante y, por lo tanto, susceptible de conductas conservadoras. Objetivos: Evaluar la existencia de elementos pronósticos desfavorables en el estudio de la pieza operatoria de pacientes con criterios preoperatorios de cáncer insignificante. Materiales y métodos: Entre 1999 y 2009, 220 pacientes fueron sometidos a prostatectomía radical (PR) en nuestra institución. Se incluyeron 183 pacientes que reunían los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. De los mismos 29 (15,3 por ciento) cumplían con todos los criterios de cáncer clínicamente insignificante. Se consideraron elementos de pronóstico patológicamente desfavorables, el score de Gleason 7 o más y/o enfermedad extra prostática en el estudio del espécimen quirúrgico. Resultados: La presencia de suma de Gleason 7 o mayor fue evidenciado en 6 pacientes (21,4 por ciento) con cáncer clínicamente insignificante. Tres de estos presentaron enfermedad extraprostática. Cuatro experimentaron recurrencia bioquímica con una media a la recurrencia de 24 meses. Comentarios: La correlación entre los criterios clínicos de Epstein para definir CaP insignificante con los resultados histopatológicos de la pieza operatoria muestra diferencias significativas en algunos casos. Las mismas residen básicamente en la diferencia de la evaluación del" score de Gleason de la biopsia y de la pieza operatoria, y entre la estadificación clínica y patológica...


Epstein criteria (prostate specific antigen density <0.15, Gleason score on biopsy <6, less than 3 cylinders engaged, less than 50 percent of affected per cylinder) are the most wide/y used method for predicting prostate cancer clinically insignificant and, therefore, susceptible to conservative behavior. Objectives: Evaluate the existence of unfavorable prognostic elements in the study of the surgical specimen of patients with preoperative criteria of insignificant cancer. Materials and methods: Between 1999 and 2009, 220 patients where treat by means of radical prostatectomy (RP) at our institution. We included 183 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 29 (15.3 percent) met all criteria for clinically insignificant cancer. We considered as elements of pathologically unfavorable prognosis the Gleason score of 7 or more, and confined disease in the study of the surgical specimen. Results: The presence of Gleason sum 7 or greater was demonstrated in 6 patients (21.4 percent) wit clinically insignificant cancer. Three of these had organ confined disease. 4 experienced biochemical recurrence with a mean recurrence of 24 months. Comments: The correlation between clinical criteria to define insignificant prostate cancer with histopathological findings of the resected specimen shows significant difference in some cases. Basically the same lie in the difference in the assessment of Gleason score of biopsy and surgical specimen, and between clinical and pathological staging. This suggests that Epstein definitions based on clinical parameters must be assumed as elements of guidance only and not as absolute certainty criteria for qualification of insignificant cancer. Conclusions: Epstein criteria for clinically insignificant prostate cancer underestimate the malignant potential in the 21.4 percent of patients ¡n our series...

ABSTRACT

El score de Gleason (SG) es un importante predictor de resultados en cáncer de próstata. El SG 7 es un grupo heterogéneo que presenta en las diversas series un riesgo de muerte cáncer específico del 29 por ciento-41 por ciento. La diferenciación de los casos en que el patrón dominante sea 3(3+4) y los casos en donde el patrón dominante sea 4 (4+3) podría representar un factor pronóstico significativo. Objetivos: Evaluar las diferencias clínicas, patológicas y evolutivas de pacientes con prostatectomía radical con score de Gleason 3+4 y 4+3.Materiales y métodos: Se consideraron 73 pacientes con score de Gleason 7 en el espécimen de prostatectomía radical entre 1999 y 2009. Se evaluaron variables clínicas (antígeno prostático específico (APE), estadio clínico y score de Gleason de la biopsia) y patológicas (estadio patológico, Gleason, márgenes quirúrgicos, invasión de vesículas seminales, compromiso ganglionar). Como punto de corte se utilizó la recurrencia bioquímica y la mortalidad cáncer específica. Se consideró fallo bioquímico a la elevación de APE por encima de 0,2 ng/ml con dos ascensos sucesivos. Resultados: En los 73 pacientes, 48 (65,8 por ciento) y 25 (34,2 por ciento) tuvieron score de Gleason 3+4 y 4+3 respectivamente en la pieza operatoria. Esto contrasta con el Gleason de la biopsia previa que sub graduó 54 por ciento para el grupo 3+4 y 32por ciento para el grupo 4+3. Los valores de APE correlacionaron el score de Gleason, siendo el promedio del marcador de 14,4 ng/ml para el grupo 3+4 y 17,7 ng/ml para el grupo 4+3. El grupo de patrón predominante 4 se asoció a mayor estadio patológico, no notándose diferencias significativas en lo referente a márgenes quirúrgicos positivos. La sobre vida libre de recurrencia bioquímica a los 5 años fue de 54,2por ciento en el grupo con patrón predominante 3, con una media al fallo de APE de 14 meses...


The Gleason score (GS) is an important predictor of outcome in prostate cancer. The SG 7 is a heterogeneous group in several series presents a specific cancer death risk of 29 percent-41 percent. The differentiation of cases in which the dominant pattern is 3 (3 +4) and cases where the dominant pattern is 4 (4 +3) could be a significant prognostic factor Objectives: Evaluate the different clinical, pathological and outcome of patients who underwent to radical prostatectomy whit a Gleason score 3+4 and 4+3.Materials and methods: We considered 73 patients with Gleason Score 7 in the specimen of radical prostatectomy between 1999 and 2009. Clinical variables were evaluated (prostate specific antigen (PSA), clinical stage and Gleason score of the biopsy) and pathological (pathological stage, Gleason score, surgical margins, seminal vesicle invasion, lymph node invasion). We used biochemical recurrence and cancer-specific mortality as our end point. Biochemical failure was a PSA rise above0.2 ng/ml with two successive determinations. Results: In the 73 patients, 48 (65.8 percent) and 25 (34.2 percent) had Gleason score 3 +4 and 4 +3, respectively, in the specimen. This contrasts with the previous biopsy Gleason which undergraduate 54 percent for group3+4 and 32 percent for the 4 +3. PSA values correlated the Gleason score, where the average score of 14.4 ng/ml for group 3 +4 and 17.7 ng/ml for group 4 +3. The predominant pattern group 4 was associated with higher pathological stage, no significant differences being noted in terms of positive surgical margins. The biochemical recurrence-free survival at 5 years was 54.2 percent in the group with the predominant pattern 3, with a mean to PSA failure of 14 months. In group 4, the predominant pattern of biochemical recurrence-free survival at 5 years was 16 percent, with a mean to recurrence of 5.8 percent months...

ABSTRACT

Las funciones sexuales y eréctiles son importantes en la salud de los hombres y el bienestar de las parejas. La disfunción eréctil (DE) tiene una alta prevalencia fundamentalmente en las últimas décadas de la vida y se halla relacionada con múltiples factores de riesgo. Objetivo: establecer algunos factores de riesgo y enfermedades concomitantes así como la prevalencia de la disfunción eréctil en la población masculina mayor de 35 años de la ciudad de Siguatepeque, Honduras, agosto del 2009. Metodología; estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. La población fue de 5,200 hombres mayores de 35 años. La muestra de 371 hombres. El método de muestreo fue estratificado según barrios de la ciudad. La unidad de estudio fue seleccionada en forma aleatoria. Para la recolección de datos se utilizaron dos instrumentos, una encuesta con datos de carácter general; otro instrumento utilizado fue el Test de SHIM (Sexual Health Inventory for Men), cuestionario sobre salud sexual masculina, versión abreviada del IIEF (Índice Internacional de Función Eréctil) del que se seleccionaron 5 preguntas sobre sexualidad masculina en los últimos 6 meses, con el propósito de detectar DE en grupos de riesgo. Se considera DE cuando la puntuación es igual o inferior a 21. Resultados; La prevalencia de DE encontrada fue de 214(58%) del total de la muestra, los grados de disfunción fueron: Leve 114(53%), de Leve a Moderada 57(27%), Moderada 18(8%), y Grave 25(12%).

ABSTRACT

We report successful laparoscopic repair of a saccular renal-artery aneurysm in a patient with renovascular hypertension. The repair was performed by clamping the renal hilum, excising the aneurysm, and suturing the vascular defect intracorporeally. Postoperative imaging studies confirmed normal arterial flow in the repaired artery.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Presentamos un abordaje quirúrgico para el manejo de pacientes con carcinoma vesical en candidatos a cirugía radical, buscando reunir los beneficios de la cirugía abierta tradicional, con las ventajas de la técnica laparoscópica. Material y Método: Se presenta una serie inicial de 5 pacientes de sexo masculino, llevados a cistoprostatectomía radical laparoscópica (CPRL) con confección extracorpórea de neovejiga ortotópica entre junio y septiembre de 2002. La edad promedio fue 50.6 años (rango: 29 a 70 años). La indicación quirúrgica fue carcinoma vesical infiltrante en cuatro de los cinco pacientes, uno de ellos previamente tratado con radioterapia. La técnica quirúrgica se presenta en 3 pasos. En el primero se realiza la linfadenectomía pelviana bilateral y la cistoprostatectomía radical (CPR) por laparoscopía; la segunda parte esta representada por la confección de la neovejiga, realizada completamente extracorpórea, y el tercer paso es la anastomosis uretra-neovejiga, desarrollada con técnica laparoscópica. Resultados: La técnica fue reproducida en los 5 pacientes. El tiempo operatorio promedio fue de 5.4 horas (rango: 4.5-7 horas). El sangrado promedio fue 410 ml (rango: 200-800 ml). Ninguno de los pacientes requirió transfusión sanguínea. El tiempo de hospitalización total varió entre 5 y 12 días, con un promedio de 6.8 días. Conclusión: La CPR puede realizarse completamente con técnica laparoscópica cuando se dispone de un adecuado entrenamiento laparoscópico. Con la técnica combinada que desarrollamos, la parte más complicada de la cirugía, representada por la elaboración de la neovejiga y el neoimplante ureteral, se realiza de forma convencional, haciendo que esta técnica sea totalmente reproducible.


Objective: We present our preliminary experience with laparoscopic radical cystoprostatectomy and continent orthotopic neobladder performed extracorporeally. We believe that this surgical approach combines the advantages of minimally invasive laparoscopy with the speed and safety of open surgery. Material and Method: Between June and September 2002, 5 male patients underwent to laparoscopic radical cystoprostatectomy and continent orthotopic neobladder performed extracorporeally. Average age was 50.6 years (range: 29-70). The operative indication was muscle-invasive carcinoma of the urinary bladder in 4 patients. One of these 4 patients was previously treated with radiotherapy. Our technique has 3 steps. Cystoprostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissections are performed laparoscopically using five ports by a transperitoneal approach. We remove the surgical specimens through a 5 cm infraumbilical incision and through the same incision an ileal loop is extracted from the abdominal cavity, isolated, detubularized and neobladder is reconfigured. Finally, urethro-neobladder anastomosis is formed with laparoscopic technique. Results: Surgical technique was reproduced in all 5 patients. Mean operative time was 5.4 hours (range: 4.5-7). Mean blood loss was 410 ml (range: 200-800) and not transfusion was indicated. Mean hospital stay was 6.8 days (range: 5-12). Conclusion: Laparoscopic radical cystectomy is feasible when surgical team has experience in laparoscopic surgery. The most technically demanding steps of the procedure are neobladder confection and ureteral neoimplante, which are performed extracorporeally. We believe that with our combined approach, this technique is completely reproducible.
