ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The consequences of the use of of benzodiazepines in coronavirus disease 2019 have not yet been studied. We compared the hospital prognosis of patients hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 in benzodiazepine users and non-users. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Observational study with a retrospective cohort design. All consecutive patients admitted with a confirmed diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 were included. The patients under chronic treatment with benzodiazepines at the time of admission were studied and compared with non-users. The primary objective was to analyze the mortality of patients who used chronic benzodiazepines at the time of admission and compare them with those who did not use them. The secondary objective was to analyze the risk of severe disease due to coronavirus 2019, acute respiratory distress syndrome and admission to the Intensive Care Unit in both groups of patients. RESULTS: We included 576 patients, 138 (24.0%) used benzodiazepines. After adjusting for sex, age, baseline situation and all the different variables between both groups, benzodiazepine users did not show a higher odds of mortality (OR: 1,1, IC 95%: 0,7-1,9, p = 0,682) or higher risk of severe disease due to coronavirus 2019 (OR: 1.2, 95% CI: 0.7-1.8, p = 0.523). They also did not have a higher risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (OR: 1.2, IC 95%: 0.8-1.9, p = 0.315) or more admission to the Intensive Care Unit (OR: 0.8, 95% CI: 0.4-1.4, p = 0.433). CONCLUSION: In our sample, treatment with benzodiazepines at the time of admission was not associated with a worse hospital prognosis in patients with coronavirus disease 2019.


TITLE: Efecto del tratamiento con benzodiacepinas en el pronóstico hospitalario de la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019.Introducción. Las consecuencias del consumo de benzodiacepinas en el marco de la la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) no se habían estudiado hasta ahora. En el presente estudio se comparó el pronóstico hospitalario de pacientes ingresados por COVID-19 que tomaban benzodiacepinas con el de otros ingresados por idéntico motivo que no las tomaban. Pacientes y métodos. Estudio observacional de cohortes retrospectivo. En el estudio se admitió a todos los pacientes consecutivos ingresados con un diagnóstico confirmado de COVID-19. Se estudió a los pacientes que en el momento del ingreso estaban en tratamiento crónico con benzodiacepinas en comparación con otros que no las tomaban. El objetivo principal fue analizar la mortalidad de dichos pacientes con uso crónico de benzodiacepinas y compararla con la mortalidad de los que no tomaban. El objetivo secundario fue analizar en ambos grupos de pacientes el riesgo de padecer un cuadro grave por COVID-19, el síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda o el ingreso en la unidad de cuidados intensivos. Resultados. Se admitieron 576 pacientes, 138 (24,0%) de los cuales tomaban benzodiacepinas. Después del ajuste por sexo, edad, situación inicial y todas las variables diferentes entre ambos grupos, los pacientes que tomaban benzodiacepinas no mostraron una probabilidad mayor de muerte (odds ratio: 1,1; IC 95%: 0,7-1,9; p = 0,682) ni un riesgo más acusado de COVID-19 grave (odds ratio: 1,2; IC 95%: 0,7-1,8; p = 0,523). Tampoco presentaron un riesgo mayor de síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda (odds ratio: 1,2; IC 95%: 0,8-1,9; p = 0,315) ni de ingreso en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (odds ratio: 0,8; IC 95%: 0,4-1,4; p = 0,433). Conclusión. En esta muestra de pacientes con COVID-2019, el tratamiento con benzodiacepinas en el momento del ingreso no apareció asociado con un empeoramiento del pronóstico hospitalario.

ABSTRACT

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands. Soluble Fas receptor (sFas) has been suggested as a Fas-mediated apoptosis blocker that could impair clonal deletion in infiltrated autoreactive cells. The FAS -670A>G promoter polymorphism has been studied in pSS. However, a relationship between FAS -670A>G promoter polymorphism and sFas levels in pSS had not been found. We examined this relationship in 77 Mexican pSS patients and 84 healthy subjects were included. Genotypes were identified by PCR-RFLP, and Fas soluble levels were quantified by ELISA. No significant differences between allele and genotype frequencies were found between these two groups. The sFas levels in the serum of pSS patients were significantly higher than in controls (9961 vs 8840 pg/mL, respectively). In addition, AA genotype carriers had significantly higher levels of sFas than GG carriers (pSS: 10,763 and 9422 pg/mL; controls: 9712 and 8305 pg/mL, respectively). An additive model analysis between genotypes (AG+GG vs AA) in both groups, demonstrated a significant association between carriers of the A allele and high sFas levels. In conclusion, carrying the double dose of A allele of FAS -670A>G polymorphism is associated with high levels of sFas in pSS, but it is not a susceptibility marker for pSS.

ABSTRACT

Se investigó la presencia de las distintas especies y biovariedades de estreptococos fecales en aguas del arroyo Zaimán, cuya cuenca hídrica comprende importantes zonas de la ciudad de Posada, Misiones. Las muestras fueron extraídas en zonas aledañas cercanas a un establecimiento de la industria de la carne, que vierte sus efluentes en el citado cruso de aguas. Se efectuaron 18 operaciones de muestreo en puntos geográficos representativos. La metodología seguida para la detección y caracterización de las especies presentes consistió en una etapa de enriquecimiento en caldo azida dextrosa, con posteriores repiques en placas de agar KF y agar kanamicina-esculina-azida. El estudio bioquímico de las colonias desarrolladas en medio agar cerebro corazón, se llevó a cabo de acuerdo a normas de estándares americanos de aguas. Las especies de mayor frecuencia de aislamiento resultaron ser: S. faecalis V. liquefaciens (48%), S. faecalis (20%), y S. durans (14%). La distribución de estreptococos fecales por puntos de muestreo indica que la contaminación proviene no sólo del vertido de efluentes, sino tambíen del asentamiento poblacional cercano al curso de aguas (AU)

ABSTRACT

The investigation was focused on the occurrence of different species and biovarieties of fecal streptococci in Zaiman creek waters, the basin of which comprises important zones of Posadas, Misiones. The samples were collected from points near a meat-packing industrial establishment which pours its effluents in the above mentioned water course. So far, 18 sampling operations have been carried out in representative geographic locations. The methodology followed for detecting and characterizing the present species consisted in an enrichment procedure performed by incubating samples in Azida Dextrose broth at 35 degrees C during 24-48 h. Further streaks were made on KF Agar and Kanamycin Agar plates. The biochemical study of the colonies developed in Brain Heart Agar media was the one described in the American Water Standards (APHA and EPA). The isolation frequency of the different species of fecal streptococci is shown. (Table 2). The efficiency of both culture media KF Agar and Kanamycin Aesculin Azide Agar proved to be similar. (Table 1). The distribution of fecal streptococci by sampling points shows that the pollution comes not only from the pourings of effluents but also from the population settlement near the water course.
