ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: Las personas con diabetes e hipertensión experimentan con mayor frecuencia sintomatología depresiva, lo cual contribuye a un inadecuado automanejo de la enfermedad, que implica tareas como: la toma de la medicación, asistir a las consultas médicas, el conocimiento de signos y síntomas, además de la toma de decisiones. Objetivo: Por lo anterior, el objetivo de este trabajo es identificar la relación entre automanejo en general y sus dimensiones con síntomas depresivos en personas con diabetes e hipertensión. Método: Estudio transversal-correlacional con n=205 pacientes con diagnóstico de diabetes (100) e hipertensión (105). Muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se utilizó la estadística descriptiva y r de Pearson. Se aplicaron los instrumentos Partners in Health (PIH) y The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8). Resultados: Se encontró correlación estadísticamente significativa entre la sintomatología depresiva y el automanejo (r=-0.308 ρ<0.001). Discusión y Conclusiones: Se concluye que la sintomatología depresiva se relaciona con el automanejo de la enfermedad de la siguiente manera: a mayor automanejo menor sintomatología de depresión, o a mayor sintomatología depresiva menor automanejo; dicha relación confirma que ambas variables se afectan mutuamente y/o mantienen una relación estrecha.


Abstract Introduction: Persons with diabetes and hypertension frequently suffer from depression as well, a situation which contributes to an inadequate management of the condition in terms of medication, medical consultations, signs, and decision making. Objective: To identify the relationship between general self-management and depression symptoms in persons with diabetes and hypertension. Method: This is a transversal and correlational study with a sample of 205 patients, 100 with a main diagnosis of diabetes, and 105 with a main diagnosis of hypertension. The sampling process was non-probabilistic and by convenience. Descriptive statistics, including Pearson's r were calculated. The Partners in Health (PIH) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) instruments were administered. Results: A statistically significant correlation between depression symptoms and diabetes and hypertension self-management was found (r=-0.308 ρ<0.001). Discussion and conclusions: Depression symptoms were related to how diabetes and hypertension are self-managed in a way that, the more self-management, the less depression symptoms, or the more depression symptoms, the less self-management.

Objetivo: Pelo anterior, o objetivo deste trabalho é identificar a relação entre automanejo em geral e suas dimensões com sintomas depressivos em pessoas com diabetes e hipertensão. Método: Estudo transversal-correlacional com n=205 pacientes com diagnóstico de diabetes (100) e hipertensão (105). Amostragem não probabilística por conveniência. Utilizou-se a estatística descritiva e r de Pearson. Aplicaram-se os instrumentos Partners in Health (PIH) e The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8). Resultados: Encontrou-se correlação estatisticamente significativa entre a sintomatologia depressiva e o automanejo (r=-0.308 ρ<0.001). Discussão e Conclusões: Conclui-se que a sintomatologia depressiva relaciona-se com o automanejo da doença da seguinte maneira: a maior automanejo, menor sintomatologia de depressão, ou a maior sintomatologia depressiva, menor automanejo; esta relação confirma que ambas variáveis afetam-se mutuamente e/ou mantem uma relação estreita.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Evaluar la validez de una prueba de serología rápida para el diagnóstico de infección por Helicobacter pylori en nuestro medio. Diseño. Estudio prospectivo, longitudinal. Emplazamiento. Centro de atención primaria urbano. Mediciones. Como pruebas de referencia para definir la presencia/ausencia de Helicobacter pylori se utilizan la histología y el test de ureasa de mucosa gástrica (Jatroxtest®). Ambos tests pueden ser positivos o negativos sin valores intermedios. Se comparan con el test de referencia, calculándose sensibilidad, especificidad y valores predictivos. Resultados. Se incluyeron 47 pacientes consecutivos. La histología (confirmada con test de ureasa) demostró infección en 38 casos (prevalencia, 80,85 por ciento). Los resultados de la serología rápida con intervalos de confianza del 95 por ciento son: sensibilidad, 0,66 (0,51-0,81); especificidad, 1 (1-1); valor predictivo positivo, 1 (1-1), y valor predictivo negativo, 0,41 (0,2-0,61). Conclusiones. En una población con alta prevalencia de infección, el test de serología rápida positivo confirma la infección. Sin embargo, un test negativo no la descarta, lo que disminuye significativamente el valor diagnóstico global, confirmando en el medio primario los resultados de estudios hospitalarios. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Pasteurella multocida has been associated with several different types of human infections but there is only a single report in the literature of splenic abscess caused by this bacteria. We report here a case of splenic abscess in an 81 year old male, with type II diabetes and a synthetic arterial graft in the leg, but considered to be an immunocompetent host. The patient presented to the hospital for FUO investigation. No portal of entry of the organism was identified. The patient responded well to laparoscopy drainage of the abscess and 20 days of antibiotic therapy. Attention must be paid to primary splenic abscess as a cause of FUO, and that Pasteurella multocida could be the etiologic agent in such a case.

ABSTRACT

Norwegian type scabies is a severe skin infestation which has been described in both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent people. We report a case of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) presenting as Norwegian scabies in a malnourished patient who had exceedingly high levels of serum IgE and low IgG 1. The CD(4) count was normal but the ratio CD(4)/CD(8) was decreased as a result of an increased CD(8) count. The extensive skin disease which led to the diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus was unresponsive to treatment until the SLE was properly controlled by therapy. The possible relationship between high IgE and low IgG1 levels and Norwegian scabies is discussed in the context of systemic lupus erythematosus.
