ABSTRACT
INTRODUCCIÓN: El abdomen abierto es una estrategia quirúrgica que ha permitido realizar un manejo quirúrgico de infecciones intraabdominales; una de las patologías intraabdominales que puede ser manejada como abdomen abierto es la diverticulitis. El manejo de la diverticulitis con un cuadro clínico séptico es quirúrgico y se pueden requerir de terapias que no son de aplicación frecuente. CASO CLÍNICO: Se trata de un paciente de sexo masculino de 46 años de edad que luego de ser diagnosticado con diverticulitis y tras una serie de intervenciones tuvo un desenlace con abdomen abierto, fistula biliar, ileostomía, colostomía, estado séptico y desnutrición severa. EVOLUCIÓN: El paciente fue manejando en forma integral, para el tratamiento quirúrgico se recurrió a la técnica de presión negativa (TPN) o sistema «vaccum¼, requirió varias cirugías para cambio del sistema vaccum y revisión de ostomías; el cierre definitivo de cavidad se realizó junto con el servicio de Cirugía Plástica. CONCLUSIÓN: El manejo adecuado del cuadro abdominal sin duda fue la clave para la recuperación del paciente, la utilización de técnicas innovadoras y con fundamento científico asegura una evolución adecuada del paciente.(AU)
BACKGROUND: Open abdomen is a surgical strategy which has being used to manage severe abdominal infections; one of those pathologies that can be managed is diverticulitis. Management of diverticulitis with an associated septic abdomen must be surgical and infrequent therapies may be required to treat it. CASE REPORT: It is about a 43-years old male patient who was diagnosed with diverticulitis and after many surgical procedures came with an open abdomen, biliary fistula, ileostomy, colostomy, septic shock and severe malnutrition. EVOLUTION: A complete management and Negative-Pressure Therapy or «vaccum¼ system was used for initial surgical treatment, the patient required additional procedures to change the system and check the ostomies. Definitive closure was performed with the collaboration of Plastic Surgery service. CONCLUSION: A proper management of this case was the key of the patient's recovery undoubtedly. Use of innovative and science-based techniques ensures and adequate patient outcome.(AU)

Human sapovirus has been shown to be one of the most important etiologies in pediatric patients with acute diarrhea. However, very limited data are available about the causative roles and epidemiology of sapovirus in community settings. A nested matched case-control study within a birth cohort study of acute diarrhea in a peri-urban community in Peru from 2007 to 2010 was conducted to investigate the attributable fraction (AF) and genetic diversity of sapovirus. By quantitative reverse transcription-real-time PCR (qPCR) sapovirus was detected in 12.4% (37/299) of diarrheal and 5.7% (17/300) of nondiarrheal stools (P = 0.004). The sapovirus AF (7.1%) was higher in the second year (13.2%) than in the first year (1.4%) of life of children. Ten known genotypes and one novel cluster (n = 5) within four genogroups (GI, GII, GIV, and GV) were identified by phylogenetic analysis of a partial VP1 gene. Further sequence analysis of the full VP1 gene revealed a possible novel genotype, tentatively named GII.8. Notably, symptomatic reinfections with different genotypes within the same (n = 3) or different (n = 5) genogroups were observed in eight children. Sapovirus exhibited a high attributable burden for acute gastroenteritis, especially in the second year of life, of children in a Peruvian community. Further large-scale studies are needed to understand better the global burden, genetic diversity, and repeated infections of sapovirus.

La perforación coronaria es una rara complicación de la intervención coronaria percutánea, pero puede desencadenar un taponamiento cardiaco potencialmente letal. Esta complicación ha sido reportada en 0,1 -3.0 por ciento de los procedimientos. Este reporte describe un caso de hemopericardio y taponamiento cardiaco posterior a una intervención percutánea en un paciente anticoagulado con warfarina y con síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del segmento ST. Una rápida intervención aseguró una excelente evolución clínica del paciente.
Coronary perforation is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention, but can trigger potentially lethalcardiac tamponade. This complication has been reported in 0,1 3,0 % of procedures. This report describes a case ofhemopericardium and cardiac tamponade after percutaneous intervention in an warfarin anticoagulated patient withacute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation. A rapid intervention ensured an excellent clinical evolution ofthe patient.

Los aneurismas ventriculares y la ruptura del septum interventricular son complicaciones del infarto agudo del miocardio que pueden acompañarse de alta morbimortalidad. Se reporta el caso de un paciente con formación y ruptura de un aneurisma verdadero de la pared inferior y del septum interventricular inferior después de un infarto agudo de miocardio silente. Se discuten las características clínicas, diagnóstico y manejo de estas complicaciones potencialmente letales.
Ventricular aneurysms and interventricular septal rupture are complications of acute myocardial infarction and thesecomplications may have a high morbidity and mortality. We report the case of a patient with an aneurysm involving theinferior myocardium and the inferior interventricular septum following an acute silent myocardial infarction. The clinicalcharacteristics, diagnosis and management of these potentially lethal complications are discussed.

Se describe el caso de una paciente de 38 años de edad, portadora de enfermedad arterial coronaria del tronco principal de la coronaria izquierda, la cual fue intervenida en forma percutánea con implante de una prótesis endovascular o stent sin injerto venoso o arterial previo, en forma exitosa. Después de 5 meses de seguimiento, la paciente se encuentra asintomática.
