RESUMO

Introducción. La infección por COVID-19 afectó drásticamente la atención en salud a nivel mundial, generando retos para la atención primaria. En orden de mitigar y manejar el contagio, la telemedicina se convirtió en una modalidad emergente y efectiva en varias especialidades médicas, incluida la cirugía de cabeza y cuello. Métodos. Estudio de corte transversal con análisis retrospectivo de pacientes atendidos en la consulta virtual durante 18 meses. Se estimaron frecuencias absolutas y relativas, y bivariado con regresión logística binaria. Se incluyeron las variables de diagnóstico primario, poder resolutivo de la consulta, necesidad de cita presencial, plataforma y dificultades de la misma. Resultados. Se incluyeron 2485 pacientes provenientes de 11 departamentos. La patología tiroidea fue la más frecuente (62,9 %), seguida de la aerodigestiva (10,9 %). La consulta fue eficiente en el 99 % de los casos, con una capacidad resolutiva del 96,4 %. El 1,4 % tuvo dificultades en la plataforma y el 8,3 % de los pacientes requirió cita presencial. Cuando hubo dificultad para la revisión de exámenes o una inadecuada inspección funcional, fue 30 veces más probable no poder resolver eficientemente la consulta. Conclusión. La telemedicina provee una alternativa eficiente de atención en cirugía de cabeza y cuello, especialmente en los controles de patología tiroidea, evitando desplazamientos innecesarios. En el tracto aerodigestivo, donde el examen físico es primordial, su utilidad está limitada a la posibilidad de realizar un examen endoscópico posterior que permita una adecuada estadificación y facilite la valoración presencial.


Introduction. The COVID-19 infection drastically affected health care worldwide, creating challenges for primary care. In order to mitigate and manage infection, telemedicine has become an emerging and effective modality in several medical specialties, including head and neck surgery. Methods. Retrospective cross-sectional analysis of patients seen in virtual consultation over 18 months. Absolute and relative frequencies were estimated, univariate analysis was done with chi-square, and bivariate analysis with binary logistic regression. Variables such as primary diagnosis, the resolution power of the consultation, the need for an in-person appointment, the platform, and its difficulties were included. Results. 2485 patients from 11 departments were included. Thyroid pathology was the most frequent (62.9%), followed by aerodigestive tract pathology (10.8%). The consultation was efficient in 99% of cases, with a resolution capacity of 96.4%. 1.4% had difficulties on the platform and 8.3% of patients required an in-person. When there was difficulty in reviewing exams or an inadequate functional inspection, it was 30 times more likely to not be able to efficiently be resolved. Conclusion. Telemedicine provides an efficient alternative for care in head and neck surgery, especially in thyroid pathology controls, avoiding unnecessary travel. In the aerodigestive tract, where the physical examination is essential, its usefulness is limited to the possibility of performing a subsequent endoscopic examination that allows adequate staging and facilitates in-person assessment.

RESUMO

Introducción. La evaluación de la movilidad de las cuerdas vocales en cirugía de tiroides y paratiroides hace parte de la adecuada valoración integral. Aunque la laringoscopia directa es prueba de referencia, su uso real no es rutinario por lo que se propone la ecografía translaríngea como alternativa de evaluación. Métodos. Estudio prospectivo de evaluación de una prueba diagnóstica de la movilidad de las cuerdas vocales pre y posoperatoria, comparando la ecografía translaríngea con la video laringoscopia, en pacientes con cirugía de tiroides y paratiroides, de febrero 1° a noviembre 30 de 2022. Se describieron las variables usando frecuencias absolutas y relativas. En el análisis univariado se calcularon Chi cuadrado y T de Student y en el bivariado, regresión logística binaria. La agudeza diagnóstica se determinó con sensibilidad, especificidad y valores predictivos; se consideró la significancia estadística con p < 0,05. Resultados. Se incluyeron 267 pacientes, 219 mujeres y 48 hombres; 196 pacientes (73,4%) tenían malignidad. Se encontró en el preoperatorio, sensibilidad 100 %, especificidad 99,6 %, VPP 83,3 %, VPN 100 %, odds de probabilidad positiva 83 % y Odds de probabilidad negativa 0,004 %. En el posoperatorio, sensibilidad 82,8 %, especificidad 99,2 %, VPP 92,3 % VPN 97,9 %, odds de probabilidad positiva 92 % y odds de probabilidad negativa 0,2 %. Conclusiones. La ecografía translaríngea en nuestro medio tiene alta agudeza diagnóstica. Podría ser usada en el abordaje inicial de la evaluación de la movilidad de las cuerdas vocales y reemplazar la laringoscopia directa, dejando ésta para cuando la visualización ecográfica no sea adecuada, o en casos de afectación o sospecha de invasión, para su confirmación.


Introduction. The evaluation of the mobility of the vocal cords in thyroid and parathyroid surgery is part of the adequate comprehensive assessment. Altough, direct laryngoscopy is the gold standard, its real use is not routine, so translaryngeal ultrasound approach is proposed as an alternative. Methods. A prospective diagnostic test study was carried out to evaluate the translaryngeal ultrasound compared with video laryngoscopy in visualizing vocal mobility in patients with thyroid and parathyroid surgery from February 1 to November 30, 2022. Patients were described using absolute and relative frequencies. Univariate statistical analysis with Chi-square and Student's t tests. T. Bivariate analysis using binary logistic regression. Diagnostic acuity was calculated with sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV. Statistical significance with p< 0.05, 95% confidence interval. Results. 267 patients undergoing thyroid or parathyroid surgery were included, 219 women and 48 men. Malignant: thyroid neoplasm 196 patients (73.4%). The findings were for the preoperative period, 100% sensitivity, 99.6% specificity, PPV 83.33%, NPV 100%, 83% positive probability odds, and 0.004% negative probability odds. For the postoperative period, 82.8% sensitivity, 99.2% specificity, 92.3% PPV, 97.9% NPV, 92% positive probability odds, and 0.2% negative probability odds were found.Conclusions. Translaryngeal ultrasound in our series has high diagnostic acuity. It could be used as the initial approach to evaluate vocal mobility and might replace direct laryngoscopy, leaving it when its visualization is not adequate or in cases of involvement or suspected invasion for confirmation.

RESUMO

Introducción: La Hipercolesterolemia familiar (HF) es una enfermedad genética de carácter autosómico dominante, poco frecuente, generada por la mutación en el cromosoma 19. Es la primera causa de enfermedad cardiovascular prematura. Las mutaciones patogénicas que generan la HF se relacionan con el receptor de LDL (LDLr), la apolipoproteina B-100 (Apo- B100) y la proteína convertasa subtilisina / kexina tipo 9 (PCSK9), que produce elevación del colesterol y alteración de la vía del LDLr en el 80 % de los casos diagnosticados de HF (5). Presentamos un reporte de caso de cuatro pacientes que pertenecen a la misma familia, quienes presentan mutaciones patogénicas de diferente compromiso a nivel cardiovascular y sistémico que ha afectado de manera negativa su cotidianidad. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una correlación del hipercolesterolemia familiar de tipo genético a partir de la literatura, con respecto a la serie de casos presentada, y evaluar el impacto que este genera en los servicios de salud, en la vida del paciente y su familia. Discusión: El reporte de caso que presentamos se fundamenta en la sospecha de HF según los criterios de Holanda. En estos pacientes se reconoce mutación del gen LDLr que se relaciona con HF. Sin embargo, no ha sido ampliamente estudiada. Chmara realizó en Polonia por primera vez un estudio en el que reportó la variante ac 11G>T. En Colombia, el estudio de López encontró tres mutaciones, identificadas como variante a c.11G > A, n c.416A > G y c.1187G > A (8). Conclusión: La HF en nuestro medio es poco frecuente y con gran impacto social, en la mayoría de los casos genera síntomas clínicos y aumento del riesgo cardiovascular desde una edad temprana. Es importante resaltar el diagnóstico oportuno y el conocimiento por parte del personal de salud para generar una calidad de vida adecuada a los pacientes y evitar que aumente el riesgo cardiovascular.


Introduction: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease caused by a chromosome 19 mutation. It is the main cause of premature cardiovascular disease. Pathogenic mutations which cause FH are related to the LDL receptor (LDLr), B-100 apolipoprotein (Apo-B100) and type 9 subtilisin/kexin convertase protein (PCSK9), causing blood cholesterol increase and impairment of the LDLr pathway in up to 80% of patients diagnosed with FH. We present the case of 4 patients belonging to the same family and who present pathogenic mutations leading to diverse kinds of cardiovascular and systemic disease. Discussion: The case report we are presenting is based on the suspicion of FH according to the dutch criteria. These patients had the LDLr gene mutation related to FH. However, this mutation has not been thoroughly studied. The ac 11G>T variant was reported for the first time in Poland by Chmara. In Colombia, Lopez found 3 mutations identified as variant a c.11G > A, variant n c.416A > G and variant c.1187G > A. Conclusion: FH is rare in Colombia. Early diagnosis and healthcare worker awareness must be highlighted to improve the quality of life and decrease the cardiovascular risk of patients.

RESUMO

Introducción. La cirugía para extirpación de metástasis en un cuello previamente intervenido afronta un reto para lograr una resección exitosa. El presente estudio pretende demostrar la utilidad de la técnica de inyección de azul de metileno, guiada por ecografía, para la localización intraoperatoria de lesiones recurrentes en cáncer de tiroides, para facilitar su resección. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo, en pacientes reintervenidos por recurrencia de carcinoma diferenciado de tiroides, durante un periodo de dos años y medio. Se utilizó la inyección intratumoral de azul de metileno guiada por ecografía para su identificación intraoperatoria de recurrencia. Se hizo análisis de variables demográficas y clínicas. Resultados. Este estudio incluyó 10 procedimientos en 9 pacientes, 77,8 % mujeres, con una media de edad de 54 años. Todos tenían un nivel de tiroglobulina detectable y elevado antes de la intervención; posteriormente, el 89 %presentó un descenso y el 33 % una adecuada respuesta bioquímica. La técnica agregó 10 minutos al tiempo quirúrgico. En el 100 % se identificaron de manera intraoperatoria los ganglios marcados; el promedio de ganglios resecados fue de 12, de los cuales, 6 fueron positivos, todos con carcinoma papilar de tiroides. Esta técnica se consideró de gran utilidad y de bajo costo en todos los casos. Discusión. Esta técnica se muestra como una estrategia efectiva para la identificación intraoperatoria de las recurrencias corregionales en carcinoma de tiroides, permitiendo una disección ganglionar exitosa, disminuyendo complicaciones, tiempo quirúrgico y, especialmente, costos frente a otras intervenciones


Introduction. The approach of a previously operated neck for metastasis resection faces a challenge to achieve a successful resection. The present study aims to demonstrate the usefulness of the ultrasound-guided injection of methylene blue technique for the intraoperative localization of recurrent lesions in thyroid cancer to facilitate their resection. Methods. An observational, descriptive and retrospective study was conducted in patients reoperated for recurrences of differentiated thyroid carcinoma over a period of two and a half years, using ultrasound-guided intratumoral injection of methylene blue for its intraoperative identification. An analysis of demographic and clinical variables was carried out and its advantages over other methods were identified. Results. This study included 10 procedures in nine patients, 77.8% women and 22.2% men, with a mean age of 54 years. All had a detectable and elevated thyroglobulin level before the intervention, 89% had a decrease in its level and 33% had an adequate biochemical response. The technique added 10 minutes to the surgical time. All marked lymph nodes were identified intraoperatively. The average number of lymph nodes resected was 12, of which six were positive, all with papillary thyroid carcinoma. It was considered of great utility and low cost in all cases. Discussion. This technique shows to be an effective strategy for the intraoperative identification of locoregional recurrences in thyroid carcinoma, allowing a successful lymph node dissection, reducing complications, surgical time and especially costs compared to other interventions

RESUMO

Resumen Objetivo: Describir resultados en términos de morbilidad y mortalidad del tratamiento de quistes hidatídicos hepáticos (QHH) por vía laparoscópica en una serie de pacientes consecutivos. Comparar calidad de vida (CV) de pacientes sometidos a quistectomía laparoscópica (QL) con pacientes llevados a colecistectomía laparoscópica. Materiales y Método: Serie de casos con seguimiento de pacientes con QHH, sometidos a QL. Analizamos datos con Stata® 10.0, mediante medidas de tendencia central y dispersión. Describimos 4 variables, realizando seguimiento con tomografía computada (TC) abdominal. Aplicamos encuesta de calidad de vida SF-36. Resultados: Incluimos 12 pacientes, 58,3% de género femenino. Número de quistes 2,02 ± 1,56, volumen quístico mayor 809,16 ± 766,05 ml, diámetro de quiste mayor 11,77 ± 4,33 cm, predominando en lóbulo hepático derecho (58%). Tiempo operatorio promedio 234,1 ± 52,9 minutos. Estadía hospitalaria promedio 11,5 ± 14,5 días. Morbilidad en 16,6%, sin mortalidad posoperatoria. Seguimiento con imágenes promedio fue 7,9 ± 4,3 meses, encontrando cavidades residuales pequeñas y asintomáticas en 50% de pacientes. No reportamos recidivas. Al comparar CV con grupo de colecistectomía sólo encontramos diferencia respecto a vitalidad (p = 0,04). Discusión: Aunque nuestra serie es pequeña y presenta mayor tiempo quirúrgico (por selección de pacientes) y mayor estancia hospitalaria que en otras series de QL, presenta menor porcentaje de recidivas, de fístulas biliares y no presenta mortalidad, concordando con otras series de QL que la recomiendan como opción terapéutica. Conclusiones: La QL para el tratamiento de los QHH resulta una cirugía aceptable, con morbilidad y mortalidad comparable con reportes de cirugía abierta.


Aim: To describe results in morbidity and mortality terms of the hepatic hydatidosis (HHC) treatment by laparoscopic route in selected patients. In addition, compare the quality of life (QL) of cystomectized vs cholecystectomized patients, both laparoscopically. Materials and Method: Case series with follow-up of patients with HHC, undergoing laparoscopic cystectomy (LC). Data analysis, through measures of central tendency and dispersion, performed with Stata® 10.0. Analyzing 4 variables followed-up with abdominal computed tomography. A quality of life survey SF-36" was applied. Results: 12 patients were included, 58.3% female gender. Cysts number 2.02 ± 1.56, largest cystic volume 809.16 ± 766.05 ml, larger cyst diameter 11,77 ± 4,33 cm. Right hepatic lobe is predominantly 58%. Surgical time, 234.16 ± 52.95 minutes. Hospital stay, 11.58 ± 14.55 days. Morbidity 16.6%, with no postoperative mortality. Follow-up, performed at 7.9 ± 4.3 months, finding residual cavity in 50%, no recurrences were reported. At comparing QL with cholecystectomy group, we only found differences at the vitality item (p = 0,04). Discussion: Although our series is small and has a longer surgical time (by patient selection) and a longer hospital stay than in other LC series, it has a lower recurrences percentage, biliary fistulas, and no mortality, agreeing with other LC series that recommend it as a therapeutic option. Conclusions: The laparoscopic approach for the HHC treatment, is an acceptable surgery, with morbidity and mortality comparable to the reports of laparotomy surgery.

RESUMO

Resumen Objetivo: Describir resultados en términos de morbilidad y mortalidad de la colecistectomía extendida laparoscópica (CELap) en pacientes con cáncer de vesícula biliar (CVB) incidental. Materiales y Método Serie de casos de pacientes con CVB incidental sometidos a CELap en el Hospital Regional de Temuco entre diciembre de 2017 y marzo de 2019. Resultados: Incluimos 10 pacientes, con edad promedio de 59,2 ± 11 años, 90% de género femenino. Respecto a la invasión de pared de la vesícula biliar (TNM), 1 presentó invasión hasta mucosa (T1a) con invasión de senos de Rokitansky Aschoff y 9 hasta subserosa (T2). Dos tuvieron ganglio cístico positivo en biopsia inicial. Respecto a la CELap, el tiempo operatorio promedio fue 333 ± 40 minutos. El promedio de ganglios resecados fue 4 ± 2,78, presentando lecho hepático positivo en 1 paciente. La clasificación TNM obtenida: un paciente T1aN0M0, siete T2N0M0 y dos T2N1M0. La estancia hospitalaria promedio fue 5 ± 2,3 días. Siete pacientes recibieron, posteriormente, quimioterapia con gemcitabina + cisplatino. Hubo morbilidad en 2 pacientes, tipo I de Dindo-Clavien. No reportamos mortalidad. El seguimiento promedio fue 7,1 ±5,1 meses, no reportamos recurrencia. Discusión: Esta serie presenta menor número de ganglios resecados que otros estudios (posiblemente por ser nuestra serie inicial) y mayor morbilidad, pero sólo tipo I de Dindo-Clavien. Presentamos una estancia hospitalaria similar a series internacionales y menor presencia de metástasis según reportan análisis retrospectivos. Conclusión: La CELap es una opción terapéutica aceptable y presenta cifras de morbilidad y mortalidad comparables con series nacionales e internacionales.


Aim: Describe results in terms of morbidity and mortality of minimally invasive treatment in patients with gallbladder cancer until subserosal layer. Materials and Method: Case series of patients with gallbladder cancer undergoing CELap at Hospital Regional of Temuco between December 2017 and March 2019. Results: Ten patients were included, the average age was 59,2 ±11 years. Ninety percent female. According to the invasion in gallbladder layers (TNM Classification), 1 patient was T1a (mucosa) with invasion of Rokytansky-Aschoff sinus and 9 patients T2 (subserosa). Two patients had a positive cystic node. The average operating time of CELap was 333 ± 40 minutes. The average number of resected nodes was 4 ± 2,78 and a positive liver bed was found in 1 patient. The TNM classification was 1 patient T1aN0M0, 7 patients T2N0M0 and 2 patients T2N1M0. Mean hospitalization was 5 ± 2,3 days. Seven patients subsequently received chemotherapy with gemcitabine + cisplatin. There was 2 patients with morbidity, type I of Dindo-Clavien scale. No mortality is reported. The average follow-up was 7,1 ±5,11 months and no recurrence was reported. Discussion: This series has a lower number of resected nodes than other studies (possibly because it is our initial series) and higer morbidity, but only Dindo-Clavien type I. Furthermore, we present a hospital stay similar to international series and a lower presence of metastases as reported in retrospective analysis. Conclusion: CELap is an acceptable therapeutic option and presents morbidity and mortality comparable with the national and international series.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in an asymptomatic population in the state of Sergipe, Brazil.
. METHODS: This cross-sectional study with stratified sampling (sex and age) included serological immunofluorescent tests for IgM and IgG on samples from 3 046 asymptomatic individuals. Sample collection was performed in wet-markets of the 10 most populous cities of Sergipe, Brazil. Exclusion criteria included symptomatic individuals and health workers. The presence of comorbidities was registered.
. RESULTS: Of the 3 046 participants, 1 577 (51.8%) were female and 1 469 (48.2%) were male; the mean age was 39.76 (SD 16.83) years old. 2 921 tests were considered valid for IgM and 2 635 for IgG. Of the valid samples, 347 (11.9% [CI 10.7%-13.1%]) tested positive for IgM and 218 (8.3% [CI 7.2%-9.4%]) tested positive for IgG. Women over 40 had the highest prevalence for IgM (group C, p=0.006; group D p=0.04). The capital Aracaju displayed the highest prevalence for both antibodies; 83 (26.3% [CI 21.6%-31.6%]) tested positive for IgM and 35 (14.6% [CI 10.4%-19.7%]) for IgG. The most prevalent comorbidities were hypertension (64/123 individuals) and diabetes (29/123).
. CONCLUSIONS: A high prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was found among asymptomatic persons in Sergipe. Women over 40 showed the highest rates. The capital, Aracaju, displayed the highest seroprevalence. Surveys like this one are important to understand how the virus spreads and to help authorities to plan measures to control it. Repeated serologic testing are required to track the progress of the epidemic.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: In Bogotá, Colombia, motorcyclists represent a concern as the proportion of motorcycle users between 2013 and 2018 has increased from 18% to 35%. Despite available risk reduction strategies, the fatality rates are also growing, notably in young adults (15-29 years old). This study aims at identifying correct helmet use patterns and its relationship with official records of injuries and casualties in the city over time. METHODS: Between 2015 and 2018, semiannual observational studies of motorcycle users in six randomly selected sites in Bogotá were conducted. Data was collected and analyzed on the number of occupants per vehicle (driver and passengers), gender, approximate age, type of helmet, and whether it was correctly used (strapped) or not. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the determinants of correct helmet use. Additionally, a spatial analysis was conducted to estimate the relationship between motorcycle's casualties and correct use of the helmet (full-face helmet use) prevalence. RESULTS: A total of 77,932 motorcycles were observed, showing a high prevalence of helmet use (99% for drivers and passengers), but only 88% use it correctly (89% drivers and 82% passengers). The presence of enforcement (camera or police personnel) increases the correct use of the helmet, especially in principal roads. Female, adults, and single riders are more likely to correctly wear the helmet. Finally, there is a relationship between the concentration of the fatalities and the incorrect helmet use in 80% of the observational sites. CONCLUSIONS: Incorrect helmet use has been found by the study to be related to higher mortality among motorcycle occupants in Bogotá. Our data shows that enforcement increases correct helmet use with the potential to reduce deaths among motorcycle occupants.

RESUMO

The conceptual framework for Data Transportability, builds on the premise that well-designed studies conducted for the environmental and food/feed risk assessment of transgenic crops may be transportable across geographies. Beyond individual data, provided that certain criteria are met, the general conclusions of comparative assessments of a transgenic crop with its conventional counterpart would also be transportable. In spite of this, many regulatory agencies still require in-country field trials to complete risk assessments of transgenic crops. A sub-team from ILSI Argentina's (International Life Sciences Institute, Argentina. www.ilsi.org.ar) Biotechnology Working Group tested the applicability of the transportability concept to the case of the golden mosaic virus-resistant transgenic bean, developed by EMBRAPA (EMBRAPA: Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation). To this end, regulatory confined field trials (CFTs) carried out in Brazil to gather agro-phenotypic and compositional data were analyzed. The transportability of the conclusions of these studies to the bean cropping areas in Argentina was assessed as a conceptual exercise (with no intention to conclude on the biosafety of the common bean event). Comparative studies included the transgenic bean and its conventional parental line and were run in different agroecological environments so that any relevant differences could be observed. The main criteria to enable transportability were set by the sub-team and found to be met by the CFTs carried out in Brazil to inform a potential risk evaluation for Argentina.

RESUMO

Introduction: High blood pressure is a public health problem worldwide. In Colombia, its prevalence is 25% with a high mortality rate. The psychosocial factors affecting pharmacological adherence among patients have not been sufficiently studied and despite international evidence on their impact, in Colombia, there is a paucity of research on the role of chronic stress in the relationship between socioeconomic status and pharmacological adherence. Objective: To examine the role of chronic stress in the relationship between socioeconomic status and pharmacological adherence in hypertensive patients aged 45 to 70 years old in three Colombian cities between 2015 and 2016. Materials and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in a population of hypertensive patients. Data for this study came from the first wave of longitudinal study aimed at examining social factors associated with the control of hypertension in Bogotá, Medellín, and Quibdó. Patients with hypertension were selected randomly from a sample of those participating in the hypertension control program De todo corazón. For the statistical analysis of the data, we used factorial analysis and multivariate regressions. Results: We found a positive association between socioeconomic status and the degree of pharmacological adherence and a negative one with chronic stress. Besides, evidence was found that stress has a negative association with the degree of adherence. Conclusions: The results suggest that stress is not a likely mediator between socioeconomic status and the pharmacological adherence of hypertensive patients in Colombia. Additional studies are required to confirm these relationships with a larger sample.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Human papilloma virus (HPV) and oral bacteria capable of acetaldehyde production from ethanol, such as Streptococcus anginosus, Prevotella melaninogenica, and Fusobacterium naviforme are among oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) infectious risk factors. OBJECTIVE: Determine associations with HPV and S. anginosus, P. melaninogenica, and F. naviforme in patients with and without OSCC. METHODS: Presence of HPV and HPV-16 was determined in 26 patients with OSCC and 26 without OSCC by conventional PCR and simultaneous presence of S. anginosus, P. melaninogenica, and F. naviforme quantification through q-PCR. Statistical analysis was carried out using Pearson's X² and Student's-t test. RESULTS: Patients with OSCC had HPV and HPV-16 frequencies of 84% and 61.5%, respectively, in contrast for patients without OSCC frequencies were 34.6 and 30.7%. P. melaninogenica, and F. naviforme microorganisms were not present in any participant in this study. S. anginosus frequency in patients with OSC was 38.4% and in patients without OSCC was 30.7%. Patients with OSCC had S. anginosus + HPV co-infection at a 38.4% frequency and S. anginosus + HPV-16 at a 23.1% frequency. For individuals without OSCC S. anginosus + HPV co-infection was 3.8% and S. anginosus + HPV-16 3.8%. A greater frequency of S. anginosus + HPV co-infection and S. anginosus + HPV-16 was observed in patients with OSCC in comparison with individuals without OSCC, suggesting the importance of detecting HPV/HPV-16 and S. anginosus simultaneously in individuals at risk of developing OSCC.

Resumo O vírus do papiloma humano (VPH) e bactérias orais capacidade de produção acetaldeído a partir do etanol, tais como Streptococcus anginosus, Prevotella melaninogenica e Fusobacterium naviforme, estão entre os fatores de risco infecciosos do carcinoma de células escamosas de orofaringe (CCEO). Determinar associações o VPH e S. anginosus, P. melaninogenica, e F. naviforme em pacientes com e sem o CCEO. A presença de VPH e VPH-16 foi determinada em 26 pacientes com CCEO e 26 sem CCEO por PCR convencional e presença simultânea de quantificação de S. anginosus, P. melaninogenica e F. naviforme por meio de q-PCR. Uma análise estatística foi realizada por meio do t-Student e χ² de Pearson. Os pacientes com CCEO apresentaram frequências de VPH e VPH-16 de 84% e 61,5%, respectivamente, em contraste, para os pacientes sem CCEO frequências de 34,6 e 30,7%. Os microorganismos P. melaninogenica e F. naviforme não estavam presentes em nenhum dos participantes deste estudo. A freqüência de S. anginosus em pacientes com CCEO foi de 38,4% e em pacientes sem CCEO foi de 30,7%. Os pacientes com CECO apresentaram coinfecção com S. anginosus + VPH em uma freqüência de 38,4% e S. anginosus + VPH-16 com freqüência de 23,1%. Para os indivíduos sem CCEO, co-infecção com S. anginosus + VPH foi de 3,8% e S. anginosus + VPH-16 foi de 3,8%. A Maior frequência de co-infecção com S. anginosus + VPH e S. anginosus + VPH-16 foi observada em pacientes com CCEO em comparação com indivíduos sem CCEO, sugerindo a importância da detecção de VPH / VPH-16 e S. anginosus simultaneamente em indivíduos em risco de desenvolver CCEO.

RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: el hiperparatiroidismo terciario es la consecuencia final de las alteraciones del metabolismo calcio-fósforo en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica. Aquellos pacientes que no logran controlarlo con el tratamiento médico, requieren paratiroidectomía. Objetivo: describir la evolución clínica y paraclínica en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica y diagnóstico de hiperparatiroidismo terciario, que fueron llevados a paratiroidectomía. Metodología: estudio prospectivo, que incluyó pacientes con hiperparatiroidismo terciario llevados a paratiroidectomía entre los años 2006 y 2015. Se realizaron estudios bioquímicos pre y post quirúrgicos y se evaluó la presencia y progresión de síntomas. Resultados: se incluyeron 32 pacientes, 68.8% mujeres, con media de edad de 46.2 años. Se identificaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el cambio en los valores de calcio, fósforo y PTH pre y post quirúrgicos. El 81.5% de los pacientes reportaron presencia de síntomas. El 34.6, 26.9, y 23% presentaron mejoría total de dolor óseo, dolor articular y prurito, respectivamente. El 28% presentaron hipocalcemia sintomática post operatoria. No hubo casos de muerte durante el seguimiento. Conclusiones: la paratiroidectomía se constituye en un alternativa segura y confiable para los pacientes con hiperparatiroidismo terciario, mejorando significativamente los síntomas y las alteraciones en el metabolismo óseo y mineral. Vigilar los niveles de calcio en el post operatorio es importante para evitar las complicaciones del síndrome de hueso hambriento.


Abstract Introduction: tertiary hyperparathyroidism is the final consequence of alterations in calcium-phosphorus metabolism in patients with chronic kidney disease. Those patients who fail to control it with medical treatment require parathyroidectomy. Objective: go describe the clinical and paraclinical evolution in patients with chronic kidney disease and diagnosis of tertiary hyperparathyroidism, who underwent parathyroidectomy. Methodology: prospective study, which included patients with tertiary hyperparathyroidism taken to parathyroidectomy between 2006 and 2015. Pre and post-surgical biochemical studies were performed and the presence and progression of symptoms was evaluated. Results: 32 patients were included. 68.8 (%) were women with an average age of 46.2 years. Statistically significant differences were identified in the change in calcium, phosphorus and PTH values before and after surgery. 81.5% of patients reported the presence of symptoms. 34.6, 26.9, and 23% presented total improvement of bone pain, joint pain and pruritus, respectively. 28% presented postoperative symptomatic hypocalcemia. There were no deaths during follow-up. Conclusions: parathyroidectomy is a safe and reliable alternative for patients with tertiary hyper-parathyroidism, significantly improving symptoms and alterations in bone and mineral metabolism. Monitoring calcium levels in the postoperative period is important to avoid the complications of the hungry bone syndrome.

RESUMO

Nanocrystalline cellulose (CNC), obtained by sulphuric acid hydrolysis, was used to synthesize polyurethane foams (PUFs) based on a functionalized castor oil polyol and a Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). Formulations with varying isocyanate index (FI) and NCO number were prepared. At 0.5 wt.%, SEM's of the fractured surface underlined that the CNC acted both as a nucleation agent and as a particulate surfactant with cell geometries and apparent density changing selectively. The chemical structure of the PUF (FTIR) changed after the incorporation of CNC by a relative change of the amount of urea, urethane and isocyanurate groups. A low NCO number and isocyanate index contributed to the migration of the CNC to the Hard Segment (HS), acting as reinforcement and improving substantially the compressive mechanical properties (Ec and σc improvements of 63 and 50%, respectively). For a high NCO number or isocyanate index, the CNC migrated to the Soft Segment (SS), without causing a reinforcement effect. The migration of the CNC was also detected with DSC, TGA and DMA, furtherly supporting the hypothesis that a low NCO number and index contributed both to the formation of a microstructure with a higher content of urethane groups.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Describir la experiencia en el tratamiento de la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo con cinchas en las pacientes de la Unidad de Patología de Piso Pélvico del Hospital Universitario de Caracas. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo y descriptivo. Se incluyeron pacientes con diagnóstico clínico y urodinámico de incontinencia de esfuerzo, intervenidas con cincha transobturatriz y minicinchas entre enero de 2010 y diciembre de 2011, con seguimiento durante 12 meses (N=81). Resultados: Edad promedio: 54,9 años, índice de masa corporal promedio: 27,6 kg/m2. El 77,7 % presentaba prolapso de órganos pélvicos. La incontinencia de esfuerzo tipo I fue la más observada con 45,7 %. El 76,5 % se trataron con cinchas y el 23,5 % con minicinchas. La complicación más frecuente fue la infección urinaria baja (17,7 %), seguida de la urgencia de novo (16,1 %) y la extrusión (8 %). Se observó 7 % de recidiva. El tiempo quirúrgico fue 10,8 y 7,8 minutos para cinchas y minicinchas respectivamente. La cura objetiva fue de 93 % y la cura subjetiva osciló entre 93,8 % y 100 % al año de seguimiento para las cinchas, mientras que en el caso de las minicinchas la cura subjetiva osciló entre 50 % y 100 % durante el mismo período. Conclusión: El tratamiento de la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo mediante cinchas y minicinchas resulta satisfactorio, con baja tasa de recidivas y complicaciones menores.


Objective: To describe the experience of stress urinary incontinence treatment with slings in the Unidad de Patologia de Piso Pelvico of the Hopital Universitario de Caracas. Methods: Retrospective, descriptive study. We included patients with clinical and urodinamic urinary incontinence who were treated with transobturator slings and minislings between January 2010 and December 2011, and had a follow up of 12 months (N = 81). Results: The average age was 54,96 years old, average body mass index was 27.6 kg/m2 and 77.7 % had pelvic organ prolapse. Type I urinary incontinence was the most frequent (45.7 %). Most of the patients were treated with transobturators slings (76.5 %), and 23.5 % with minislings. The most frequent complication was lower urinary tract infection (17.7 %), followed by de novo urgency (16.1 %), and vaginal erosion (8 %). A 7 % of recurrence was observed. The objective cure was 93 % and the subjective cure ranged between 93.8 % and 100 % during 1 year follow up in the slings group. In de minisling’s group the subjective cure ranged between 50 % and 100 %. Conclusion: The treatment of stress urinary incontinence with transobturators slings and minislings resulted satisfactory due to the low risk of complications and few recurrences.

RESUMO

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar la relación entre los perfiles de perfeccionismo y el desempeño académico en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. El desempeño ha sido operacionalizado a través de las variables promedio académico general percibido, calificación del último examen, cantidad de exámenes adeudados y años de carrera cursados. Participaron en la investigación 465 estudiantes pertenecientes a las carreras de Psicología (52,2%) Ingeniería (26,2%) y Medicina (21,6%). La distribución de la población de estudiantes en los distintos perfiles de perfeccionismo (adaptativo- PA, desadaptativo- PD y no perfeccionistas-NP) se presentó según las predicciones derivadas de la teoría y los estudios previos realizados por nuestro equipo de investigación. Respecto a la relación entre los diferentes perfiles y el desempeño académico, se encontró que los estudiantes con un perfil de PA presentaron un promedio percibido significativamente superior, y una cantidad de exámenes adeudados significativamente menor que los estudiantes de los restantes perfiles. No se evidenciaron diferencias significativas para estas variables entre los sujetos con un perfil de PD y los estudiantes NP. Para las restantes variables no se hallaron diferencias significativas entre los distintos perfiles de perfeccionismo. Se discuten las implicancias de estos hallazgos para futuras investigaciones en el área.


The aim of this article is to analyze the relationship between perfectionism and academic performance of university graduate students in the City of Buenos Aires. 465 university undergraduates participated in this study: Psychology students (52.2%), Engineering students (26.2%) and Medicine students (21.6%). The resulting scores used to set the different perfectionism profiles (adaptative perfectionists- AP, maladaptive perfectionists- MP, and non perfectionists- NP), are similar to those expected according to current theory and to our previous studies. Regarding the relationship between the different student profiles and their academic performance, it was found that students with an AP profile have a significantly higher average grades than those in the other two groups, and less pending exams. No significant differences were found in average grades between MP and NP. For the remaining variables, no significant differences were found between the different profiles of perfectionism. Implications of these findings for future research in the area are discussed.


O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre os perfis de perfeccionismo e o desempenho acadêmico em uma mostra de estudantes universitários da cidade de Buenos Aires. O desempenho foi operacionalizado através das variáveis média acadêmica geral percebida, nota da última prova, quantidade de provas pendentes e anos cursados. Participaram na pesquisa 465 estudantes pertencentes aos cursos de Psicologia (52,2%) Engenharia (26,2%) e Medicina (21,6%). A distribuição da população de estudantes nos diferentes perfis de perfeccionismo (adaptativo- PA, desadaptativo- PD e não perfeccionistas- NP) apresentou-se de acordo com as previsões derivadas da teoria e dos estudos prévios feitos pela nossa equipe de pesquisa. Com respeito à relação entre os diferentes perfis e o desempenho acadêmico, encontrou-se que os estudantes com um perfil de PA apresentaram uma médica percebida significativamente superior, e uma quantidade de provas pendentes significativamente menor que os estudantes dos outros perfis. Não se evidenciaram diferenças significativas para estas variáveis entre os sujeitos com um perfil de PD e os estudantes NP. Para as restantes variáveis não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os diferentes perfis de perfeccionismo. Discutem-se as implicações destes descobrimentos para pesquisas futuras na área.
