ABSTRACT
Introducción: el drenaje biliar endoscópico guiado por ultrasonografía (DBUSE) es una alternativa al drenaje biliar percutáneo transhepático (CTPH) ante fallo de la colangiografía retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE). Métodos: descripción retrospectiva de seis casos de drenaje biliar guiado por ultrasonografía endoscópica, mediante coledocoduodenostomía (USE-CDS), así como de sus características clínicas, procedimiento endoscópico, complicaciones y posterior seguimiento. Resultados: todos nuestros casos presentaban obstrucción biliar distal de etiología maligna. En cuatro de los seis pacientes se concluyó el procedimiento con buen drenaje posterior. Registramos dos complicaciones tardías por migración de prótesis, sin muertes relacionadas con el procedimiento. El tiempo medio de seguimiento fue de seis meses. Conclusión: la USE-CDS se plantea como una opción terapéutica válida, no exenta de complicaciones, en casos seleccionados y en manos de un equipo de endoscopistas expertos ante fallos del drenaje por CPRE, y como alternativa al CTPH
Introduction: endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is an alternative to percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) in cases of failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Methods: this is a retrospective description of six cases of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage via choledochoduodenostomy (EUCD), as well as the clinical characteristics, endoscopic procedure, complications and monitoring. Results: all cases had malignant distal biliary obstruction. The procedure was concluded with good drainage in four out of six patients. Two late complications were recorded that were caused by stent migration and there were no deaths related with the procedure. The average monitoring period was six months. Conclusions: EUCD can be considered as a valid therapeutic choice in some selected cases and when performed by a team of expert endoscopists in cases of failed ERCP drainage or as an alternative to PTBD. However, the procedure has some associated complications

OBJECTIVES: To compare incidence, mortality and epidemiological characteristics of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) in the province of Salamanca over two different periods: 2010-2012 and 2004-2006. METHODS: Retrospective observational study. We include all diagnosed cases of CRC according to histopathological criteria from 01/01/2004 to 31/12/2006 and from 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2012. The studied variables were sex, age, date of diagnosis and tumor location. Cumulative incidence and specific incidence in different age groups were measured and compared between the two periods. The age rates were adjusted to the standard world population so that the results could be compared with those of other populations. RESULTS: We detected 38% more cases of CRC in the 2010-2012 period than in 2004-2006. Variables distribution (sex, age at diagnosis and location) was similar in both groups. More than twice as many colonoscopies were performed in 2010-2012 than in 2004-2006. Population mortality due to CRC also increased, although much less importantly than the incidence of this condition. CONCLUSIONS: There has been a clear increase in CRC incidence in the province of Salamanca from 2004-2006 to 2010-2012 which is not related to the ageing of the population. The remarkable increase in colonoscopies may have been an important factor for the increased detection.

El citomegalovirus (CMV) es un virus perteneciente a la familia de los Herperviridae. La infección puede causar una enfermedad grave en inmunodeprimidos, sin embargo también puede afectar a inmunocompetentes, y da lugar a cuadros clínicos generalmente autolimitados, aunque se han descrito casos graves que pueden llevar a la muerte. Presentamos un caso de ileítis por CMV con manifestaciones clínicas graves que motivaron intervención quirúrgica urgente en un paciente inmunocompetente(AU)
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a virus that belongs to the family of Herpesviridae. Infection can cause a serious disease in immunocompromised patients, but it can also affect immunocompetent patients, creating generally self limiting symptoms. However, in some cases it can be fatal. We present a case of CMV ileitis with serious clinical symptoms that led to an operation in an immunocompetent patient(AU)
