Predictores de complicaciones cardiovasculares no letales en pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo con elevación del segmento ST

Introducción: Las enfermedades cardiovasculares representan en la actualidad la principal causa de muerte y discapacidad en numerosos países, incluyendo los de nuestro continente, alrededor del 49% de las defunciones de manera global en el año 2019 fueron por esta causa. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal con componente analítico, de todos los pacientes ingresados en la Unidad de Cuidados Coronarios Intensivos del Hospital Universitario "Manuel Fajardo" de la Habana entre el año 2016 y el 2020 con el diagnóstico de síndrome coronario agudo con elevación del segmento ST. Resultados: La edad y el valor de la CKMB resultaron predictores independientes de complicaciones cardiovasculares de cualquier tipo: (OR: 1,045, IC 95 %: 1,021-1,070; p<0,001 y OR: 1,004, IC 95 %: 1,001-1007; p=0,015) respectivamente. Conclusiones: La edad, y los valores elevados de las enzimas cardíacas constituyeron predictores independientes de complicaciones cardiovasculares de cualquier tipo, así como el sexo femenino y la FEVI; la edad, los antecedentes de diabetes mellitus y la terapia de reperfusión para el caso particular de las complicaciones hemodinámicas y eléctricas respectivamente.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases currently represent the main cause of death and disability in many countries, including those of our continent, around 49 % of deaths globally in 2019 were due to this cause. Method: Descriptive cross-sectional study with analytical component, of all patients admitted to the Intensive Coronary Care Unit of the "Manuel Fajardo" University Hospital in Havana between 2016 and 2020 with a diagnosis of coronary syndrome acute with ST segment elevation. Results: Age and CKMB value were independent predictors of cardiovascular complications of any type: (OR: 1.045, 95 % CI: 1.021-1.070; p <0.001 and OR: 1.004, 95 % CI: 1.001-1007; p = 0.015) respectively. Conclusions: Age and elevated values ​​of cardiac enzymes were independent predictors of cardiovascular complications of any type, as well as female sex and LVEF; age, history of diabetes mellitus, and reperfusion therapy for the particular case of hemodynamic and electrical complications, respectively.

Does implant location influence the risk of peri-implantitis?

Peri-implantitis is characterized by nonreversible and progressive loss of supporting bone and is associated with bleeding and/or suppuration on probing. Peri-implant disease is considered as the main etiologic factor related to implant failure. Peri-implant disease has a pathogenesis similar to that of periodontal disease, both being triggered by an inflammatory response to the biofilm accumulation. Although the prevalence of peri-implantitis has been evaluated by several clinical studies with different follow-ups, there are currently little data on the impact of implant location and the prevalence of peri-implantitis. The aim of this review, therefore, was to summarize the evidence concerning the prevalence of peri-implantitis in relation to implant location and associated risk predictors. Even though most studies evaluating the prevalence of peri-implantitis in relation to implant location are cross-sectional or retrospective, they suggest that the occurrence of peri-implantitis is most prevalent in the anterior regions of the maxilla and mandible. Moreover, it seems that there is a higher prevalence of peri-implantitis in the maxilla than in the mandible.

Online Test of Risk Self-Detection of Eating Disorders.

This study's central aim was to examine the effectiveness of an online test of the Risk Self-Detection of Eating Disorders through the evaluation of (1) its psychometric properties, the significant probability of predicting risk eating behavior and the correct classification of membership to the risk or non-risk group and (2) the ability to measure users' risk self-awareness through a group of statements and explore the expected responses through frequency analysis of the content provided by the users. The non-probability sample was comprised of n = 541 women aged 15 to 25 (M = 18.3; SD = 2.4). The instrument showed good psychometric properties, a structure of three predictive risk factors, and proper effect sizes (R2 = 0.67-0.69). Among the most critical findings were high percentages of correct classification (94-97%) and expected responses (61%). The logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of presenting eating disorders was higher if the participants smoked, consumed alcohol, had sexual experiences before the age of 15, and if those sexual experiences were non-consensual. Evidence is presented about the promising results of the online data collection method and its potential benefits.
