RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to analyse the association between oral and general health variables and obesity indicators with the sensation of dry mouth or xerostomia as evaluated on the Xerostomia Inventory (XI). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 354 randomly selected subjects participated in this cross-sectional pilot study and completed an anonymous questionnaire. Anthropometric, clinical, and xerostomic variables were evaluated. Kruskal-Wallis, ANOVA and Bonferroni test were used for multiple comparisons. ROC curves and multinomial logistic regression were used to determine the (OR) risk of xerostomia. RESULTS: A total of 30.7 % of respondents reported xerostomia based on XI. The dry mouth question, the XI taken as a "gold standard", showed a diagnostic sensitivity of 70.37 %, and a specificity of 83.27 % (AUC=0.768, p<0.001). Logistical regression showed the highest xerostomia OR was associated to patients with bad self-perceived health, 6.31 (CI 95% 2.89-13.80, p<0.001). In the model adjusted for tooth mobility, bone or respiratory diseases, and the consumption of anxiolytics and antidepressants, the OR was 3.46 (CI 95% 1.47-8.18, p=0.005). CONCLUSIONS: a high prevalence of xerostomia was found in this cross-sectional pilot study, which was significantly more frequent in women, and increased with age. Xerostomia was associated to several systemic diseases, psychological conditions, and oral functional disorders such as tooth mobility. These preliminary results can serve as the basis for developing guidelines for the application of innovative measures designed to improve the quality of life of individuals with xerostomia.

RESUMO

Con la pandemia actual se ha abierto la posibilidad de usar herramientas tecnológicas, como la teleconsulta o consulta no presencial. En zonas rurales, o incluso en zonas semiurbanas, el acceso a servicios médicos puede verse restringido debido a problemas de transporte; en otros lugares el acceso a las consultas se ve limitado para evitar el contagio del paciente o del personal sanitario. Por estas razones se utilizan soluciones tecnológicas que permitan controlar a los pacientes a distancia, especialmente en el caso de pacientes crónicos, o como una forma de triaje a posibles pacientes con coronavirus. Lamentablemente este tipo de sistemas no se ha utilizado con la misma continuidad que en otros países y muchas veces nuestro personal sanitario desconoce la manera correcta de hacer una teleconsulta (por teléfono o video). Con este documento queremos ayudar a orientar de manera inicial cómo efectuar una teleconsulta en Atención Primaria


With the current pandemic, there is now the possibility of using technological tools, such as teleconsultation or remote consultation. In rural or even semi-urban areas, access to medical services may be restricted due to transportation problems. In other places access to the consultations is limited to avoid contagion from the patient or healthcare personnel. This is why technological solutions are used to allow us to monitor our patients remotely, especially in the case of chronic patients, or as a form of triage to potential patients with coronavirus. Unfortunately, this type of system has not been used with the same continuity as in other countries, and very often our health personnel do not know the correct way to carry out a teleconsultation (by phone or video). With this document, an initial guide is presented on how to make a teleconsultation in Primary Care

RESUMO

ANTECEDENTES Y OBJETIVOS: Las guías sobre el tratamiento de la psoriasis habitualmente no incluyen las recomendaciones acerca de cuál debe ser la primera línea de tratamiento sistémico o biológico. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron describir las tendencias en la prescripción del primer fármaco biológico y comparar la retirada de los fármacos y las tasas de efectos adversos a lo largo de los 10 años de seguimiento. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se utilizó el registro Biobadaderm para determinar cuál fue el primer fármaco biológico indicado en pacientes con psoriasis naïve para biológicos, así como cuál es la tasa de efectos adversos y los motivos de suspensión de los fármacos. Los resultados obtenidos se compararon en tres periodos distintos de tiempo (2008-2010, 2011-2014, 2015-2018). RESULTADOS: Los fármacos anti-TNF fueron los biológicos prescritos con mayor frecuencia entre los años 2008 y 2010. Ustekinumab se convirtió en el tratamiento biológico más indicado a partir de 2014. El motivo principal de suspensión de los tratamientos fueron los efectos adversos, la falta de eficacia y la remisión de la enfermedad. La probabilidad de suspender los fármacos por uno de estos motivos fue cada vez menor si se compara con el periodo de tiempo previo. CONCLUSIONES: El presente estudio identifica cuáles fueron las tendencias en la prescripción del primer fármaco biológico en la práctica clínica habitual entre los años 2008 y 2018. Sugiere que los dermatólogos estamos cada vez más seguros en cuanto al perfil de seguridad y somos cada vez más exigentes en cuanto a la eficacia de los fármacos


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Current psoriasis guidelines do not usually include recommendations about first line classical or biologic treatment. The objectives of this study were: to describe shifts in the prescription of the first biological treatment, and to compare treatment withdrawal and rates of adverse events over ten years. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Biobadaderm registry was analyzed to describe: first biological prescription in bio-naïve patients, adverse events rate and reasons for drug withdrawal comparing three periods of time (2008-2010, 2011-2014, 2015-2018). RESULTS: Anti-TNF drugs were the most prescribed biological drug from 2008 to 2010. Ustekinumab has become the most prescribed first biologic since 2014. The main reasons for drug discontinuation were adverse events, lack of efficacy and remission. In each period any treatment was less likely to be discontinued due to any of these three reasons comparing to the previous period. CONCLUSIONS: The present study identifies trends in prescription of the first biological antipsoriatic drug in clinical practice from 2008 to 2018. It suggests that we have become more comfortable with the safety profile and more exigent with the efficacy of the drugs

RESUMO

La fibrosis peneana por infección y/o explantes de prótesis peneanas previas condiciona situaciones de alta dificultad quirúrgica. El reimplante en estos casos debe seguir un esquema alternativo dirigido a minimizar las complicaciones peri y postoperatorias, así como conseguir la máxima eficacia del procedimiento y la mayor satisfacción postoperatoria del paciente y la pareja. En este artículo se revisan las principales alternativas quirúrgicas en estos casos


Penile fibrosis due to previous penile infection and/or prosthesis explants entails situations of high surgical complexity. In these cases, reimplantation should follow an alternative scheme, aimed at minimizing perioperative and postoperative complications, as well as achieving maximum efficiency of the procedure and greater postoperative satisfaction of the patient and his partner. This article reviews the main surgical alternatives for these cases

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN: La bacteriemia constituye un marcador de gravedad de los procesos infecciosos. Sin embargo, en ocasiones se extraen hemocultivos en urgencias a pacientes que son dados de alta estando pendiente su resultado. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio prospectivo de las bacteriemias de la población adulta del servicio de urgencias de un hospital universitario de tercer nivel de marzo de 2014 a febrero de 2015. Se analizaron las características epidemiológicas, clínicas y microbiológicas de los pacientes con bacteriemia que ingresaron y de los que fueron dados de alta. Tras la detección de la bacteriemia, el servicio de microbiología avisó telefónicamente al médico responsable del paciente (paciente ingresado) o al médico de atención primaria (paciente dado de alta). RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 429 episodios de bacteriemia. Fueron dados de alta el 13,52%. Estos pacientes eran más jóvenes (68,5 vs 73,59 años; p = 0,0001), tenían menor índice de Charlson (1,603 vs 2,309; p = 0,0013) y menor gravedad (shock séptico 0 vs 34, p < 0,0001) que los pacientes que fueron ingresados. Tras la llamada a atención primaria se inició antibiótico oral en el 10,3%, se cambió el antibiótico oral en el 6,9%, fueron ingresados el 12% y el resto continuaron el tratamiento pautado. No se registró mortalidad a los 30días. CONCLUSIONES: Los pacientes dados de alta representan un número considerable. Remitir a un paciente con hemocultivos cursados desde urgencias a domicilio, en situación de estabilidad clínica, es una práctica segura, siempre que exista una reevaluación del paciente en caso de positividad de los mismos


INTRODUCTION: Bacteraemia is a marker of severity of infectious processes. However, sometimes in Emergency Department blood cultures are drawn from patients who are discharged without results being available. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective study of bacteraemia was conducted on adult patients from Emergency Department of tertiary university hospital from March 2014 to February 2015. Epidemiological, clinical and microbiological data were collected from patients admitted and discharged. After the detection of bacteraemia, the microbiology department telephoned the physician responsible (patients admitted) or Primary Care physician (patients discharged). RESULTS: A total of 429 episodes of bacteraemia were included, of which 13.52% were discharged. These patients were younger (68.5 vs 73.59 years, P=.0001), had a lower Charlson index (1.603 vs 2.309, P=.0013) and lower severity (septic shock 0 vs 34; P<.0001) than admitted patients. After the call to Primary Care, oral antibiotics were started in 10.3%, a change in oral antibiotic in 6.9%, 12% were admitted to hospital, and the rest of them continued same treatment. The 30-day mortality rate was 0%. CONCLUSIONS: There was a significant number of patients with bacteraemia were discharged from Emergency Department. To discharge a clinically stable patient with blood cultures taken in Emergency Department is safe, if there is a re-assessment of the patient if these cultures are positive

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Oral ulcers caused by methotrexate (MTX) at low doses are a known side effect of this drug. Although increasingly more patients are medicated with MTX, these painful ulcers, without traumatic origin and resistant to any type of treatment, are not usually identified by health professionals as a side effect of the medication. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In the absence of a consensus protocol for the effective treatment of oral lesions produced by MTX, the objective of this article was to review and analyse the information from articles related to oral ulcers produced by low-dose MTX and to record the clinical management performed and the MTX dose given to the patient. Data sources - Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. Participants - Patients treated with low-dose MTX (less than 25 mg/week). Interventions - Management of oral lesions caused by MTX. Study eligibility criterion, study appraisal and synthesis method: An initial search was carried out in the aforementioned databases with the terms 'methotrexate AND oral OR ulcer'. The search was carried out using both medical subject heading (MeSH) terms and a free search between January 2003 and January 2018. Of the results obtained, two independent researchers analysed abstracts that met the search criteria, that is, those that mentioned oral ulcers produced by MTX at low doses. Next, both researchers read the complete article and determined whether it met the following inclusion criteria: written in English, specified the dose of MTX prescribed for the patient and specified the protocol of action for the ulcers. A third investigator acted as a mediator in cases of dispute. Agreement was calculated using Cohen's kappa coefficient, with a k value of 0.82. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guide for systematic reviews was used. RESULTS: The initial search resulted in a total of 66 articles, of which 30 were selected to assess their inclusion in this study. Finally, 16 met the inclusion criteria. Using the Pierson and Newcastle-Ottawa scales and Bradford Hill criteria modified for studies of case series and "in relation to a case", 2 were rated as high quality, 2 were rated as low quality and 12 were rated as medium quality. The limitations of this study are based on the fact that all of the articles available to carry out the systematic review were "in relation to a case or series of cases", with the heterogeneity of data that this implies. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence on the management of oral ulcers in the oral cavity produced by MTX at low doses is scarce due to the heterogeneity of data and the measures adopted in the selected studies. Therefore, it seems that this management is relegated to the perception of the clinician rather than to a specific protocol of action. Studies with a longer follow-up duration and larger sample size are needed to guide different health professionals on the management of these lesions.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Valorar si la administración asociada de levobupivacaína a través de dos catéteres percutáneos submusculares conectados a dos bombas elastoméricas en el postoperatorio de la artrodesis instrumentada lumbar es más eficaz que el uso aislado de analgesia intravenosa controlada por el paciente con cloruro mórfico y comparar sus efectos secundarios. Material y método: Estudio observacional, prospectivo, de cohortes. Se comparó la necesidad de analgesia de rescate entre ambos grupos, la valoración subjetiva del dolor mediante la escala visual analógica y la presencia de efectos adversos con una y otra técnica. Resultados: No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cuanto a las necesidades de analgesia de rescate. El dolor medido con la escala visual analógica fue significativamente menor (p = 0,032) en reposo a las 48h postoperatorias en el grupo tratado con catéteres. La escala visual analógica media en el resto de momentos presentó una tendencia a un menor dolor postoperatorio en el grupo tratado con catéteres, pero sin significación estadística. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los efectos adversos, aunque en el grupo tratado con catéteres hubo 6 casos de efectos adversos frente a 11 casos del grupo tratado con analgesia convencional. Conclusiones: Se observó una tendencia en el grupo tratado con catéteres a presentar menor dolor postoperatorio con menos efectos indeseables, aunque las diferencias no fueron estadísticamente significativas


Objective: To evaluate whether postoperative continuous wound infiltration of levobupivacaine through two submuscular catheters connected to two elastomeric pumps after lumbar instrumented arthrodesis is more effective than intravenous patient-controlled analgesia. Material and methods: An observational, prospective cohorts study was carried out. The visual analogue scale, the need for additional rescue analgesia and the onset of adverse effects were recorded. Results: Pain records measured with visual analogue scale scale were significantly lower in the 48hours postoperative record at rest (p=.032). The other records of visual analogue scale showed a clear tendency to lower levels of pain in the group treated with the catheters. No statistically significant differences were found in the rescue analgesia demands of the patients. The adverse effects were lower in the catheter group (6 cases versus 11 cases) but without statistical differences. Conclusions: A trend to lower pain records was found in the group treated with catheters, although differences were not statistically significant

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: La utilización clínica habitual de los fármacos biológicos en el tratamiento de la psoriasis es en segunda línea, es decir, tras el uso previo de un fármaco clásico. Sin embargo, en casos particulares -particularidades del paciente o criterio médico- se realiza la indicación en primera línea. No existen estudios sobre las características demográficas, clínicas y de seguridad de los pacientes que reciben fármaco biológico en primera línea. Como objetivo primario se pretende determinar dichas características de acuerdo con la iniciación de la terapia biológica en primera o segunda línea. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, multicéntrico, de 181 pacientes que iniciaron tratamiento biológico como primer fármaco sistémico para control de su psoriasis moderada-grave, y que forman parte del Registro Español de Acontecimientos Adversos Asociados con Medicamentos Biológicos en Dermatología, entre enero de 2008 y noviembre de 2016. RESULTADOS: Los pacientes de ambos grupos son muy similares, si bien se evidencia que el grupo que recibe el biológico en primera línea presenta una edad más avanzada, sin que se justifique por gravedad de la enfermedad (PASI) ni por el tiempo de evolución de esta desde el diagnóstico. En este grupo de pacientes es más frecuente la presencia de hipertensión, diabetes y hepatopatía. No hemos encontrado diferencias en motivos de suspensión ni seguridad entre ambos grupos. CONCLUSIONES: No se han encontrado diferencias relevantes entre los 2 grupos, lo cual refuerza la seguridad de los fármacos biológicos en este contexto


INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Biologic drugs are usually prescribed as second-line treatment for psoriasis, that is, after the patient has first been treated with a conventional psoriasis drug. There are, however, cases where, depending on the characteristics of the patient or the judgement of the physician, biologics may be chosen as first-line therapy. No studies to date have analyzed the demographics or clinical characteristics of patients in this setting or the safety profile of the agents used. The main aim of this study was to characterize these aspects of first-line biologic therapy and compare them to those observed for patients receiving biologics as second-line therapy. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We conducted an observational study of 181 patients treated in various centers with a systemic biologic drug as first-line treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis between January 2008 and November 2016. All the patients were registered in the Spanish Registry of Adverse Events Associated with Biologic Drugs in Dermatology. RESULTS: The characteristics of the first- and second-line groups were very similar, although the patients receiving a biologic as first-line treatment for their psoriasis were older. No differences were observed for disease severity (assessed using the PASI) or time to diagnosis. Hypertension, diabetes, and liver disease were all more common in the first-line group. There were no differences between the groups in terms of reasons for drug withdrawal or occurrence of adverse effects. CONCLUSIONS: No major differences were found between patients with psoriasis receiving biologic drugs as first- or second-line therapy, a finding that provides further evidence of the safety of biologic therapy in patients with psoriasis

RESUMO

La miocardiopatía no compa da (MNC) es una enf medad congénita caracterizada por la ausencia de compaqctación del miocardio ventricular. Tiene una gran variabilidad genética, clinica, evolutiva y pronóstica. Presentamos a una recién nacida pretérmino (34 semanas) con restrición del crecimiento intrauterino, fenotipo peculiar, hipotonia generalizada y distrés respiratono. La ecocardiografía objetiva ausencia de compactación del ventrículo izquierdo y disfunción sistólica leve, que se trata con captopril y ácido acetilsalicílico. Desarrolla crisis convulsivas parciales resistentes al tratamiento y se evidencia ausencia de respuesta en potenciales auditivo-visuales del tronco del encéfalo. El cariotipo convencional es normal pero el estudio de microarrays revela deleción 1p36.33-p36.23. El estudio carddiológico y genético de los progenitores es normal. El conocimiento de esta cardiopatía permite un diagnóstico precoz. Debe realizarse despistaje a familiares de primer grado. Dada la frecuente asociación entre MNC y síndrome 1p36 recomendamos incluir estudio genético mediante microarrays en pacientes con sospecha de asociación sindrómica y normalidad en el cariotipo convencional, como en el caso que presentamos (AU)


The non-compaction cardiomypathy (MNC) is a congenital disorder characterized by the absence of the compaction ventricular myocardium. It presents a high variability, genetic, clinical, evolutionary and prognostic. We report a preterm newborn (34 weeks) with intrauterine growth restriction particular phenotype, generalized hypotonia and respiratory distress. Echocardiography objective absence of compaction left ventricular myocardium and mild sistolic dysfunction, treated with captopril and acetylsalicylic acid. Develops resistant treatment partial seizurcs and lack response evident in visual-auditory evoked potentials brainstem. The conventional kariotype is normal but the microarray study revealed 1p.36-p36.23 deletion. Cardiological and genetic study of the parents are normal. Thebest knowledge of the MNC allows earlier diagnosis. Have to perform screening for first-degree relatives. Given the frequent association between MNC and lp36 syndrome, we recommend using microarray genetic study in patients with suspected syndromic association and normality in the conventional as in the case presented (AU)

RESUMO

Se presenta el caso de una niña de 3 años pluripatológica, con una enfermedad genética mitocondrial (encefalomiopatía necrosante subaguda o síndrome de Leigh), insuficiencia renal crónica estadio v por una esclerosis mesangial difusa y alteraciones del desarrollo, que fue diagnosticada de hipertiroidismo autoinmune por enfermedad de Graves-Basedow. A las 6 semanas del inicio terapéutico con neocarbimazol, la paciente presentó un cuadro de agranulocitosis severa que obligó a suspender la medicación con fármacos antitiroideos, motivo por el cual fue tratada de manera eficaz con terapia metabólica con 131I. La relevancia del artículo radica en la infrecuencia de la enfermedad de Graves en niños prepuberales (especialmente menores de 6 años), las complicaciones en el desarrollo derivadas de un posible diagnóstico tardío, la aparición de agranulocitosis como efecto adverso potencialmente grave tras el uso de antitiroideos y los pocos casos reportados de terapia ablativa con 131I a esta edad, que otorgan singularidad al caso (AU)


The case is presented of a 3 year-old girl with mitochondrial disease (subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy of Leigh syndrome), v-stage chronic kidney disease of a diffuse mesangial sclerosis, as well as developmental disorders, and diagnosed with hyperthyroidism Graves-Basedow disease. Six weeks after starting the treatment with neo-carbimazole, the patient reported a serious case of agranulocytosis. This led to stopping the anti-thyroid drugs, and was treated successfully with 131I ablation therapy. The relevance of the article is that Graves’ disease is uncommon in the paediatric age range (especially in children younger than 6 years old), and developing complications due to a possible late diagnosis. Agranulocytosis as a potentially serious adverse effect following the use of anti-thyroid drugs, and the few reported cases of ablation therapy with 131I at this age, makes this case unique (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVO: Disponemos de una gran experiencia en el uso de los fármacos biológicos para el tratamiento de los pacientes con psoriasis, sin embargo, existen situaciones concretas, como la cirugía, en las que pueden surgir dudas sobre su manejo. Aunque las guías de tratamiento aconsejan su suspensión programada previamente a los procedimientos de cirugía mayor, no existe evidencia de cuál es la actitud habitual en la práctica clínica y su asociación a complicaciones. Nuestro objetivo fue analizar el manejo actual de esta situación en la práctica clínica habitual. MÉTODOS: A través de un estudio retrospectivo de la base de datos Biobadaderm se analizó el manejo práctico de pacientes con psoriasis en tratamiento biológico que fueron intervenidos mediante algún procedimiento quirúrgico. RESULTADOS: De los 2.113 pacientes incluidos en Biobadaderm, 48 fueron tratados con una intervención quirúrgica, de las que fueron mayoritarias las de tipo cutáneo (31%). El tratamiento biológico se suspendió en el 42% de los casos. No se observaron asociaciones estadísticamente significativas entre la aparición de complicaciones posquirúrgicas y la interrupción del fármaco. Tampoco se detectó asociación entre la interrupción del tratamiento con otras variables como el sexo, la edad, la duración de la enfermedad y la gravedad de la psoriasis. CONCLUSIÓN: No se ha encontrado asociación entre la continuidad del tratamiento biológico y el riesgo de complicaciones posquirúrgicas, aunque el estudio presenta la limitación de tener un tamaño muestral escaso


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: We now have considerable experience in the use of biologic agents to treat psoriasis, but doubts about management arise in certain clinical settings. Surgery is one of them. Although treatment guidelines advise that biologics be suspended before major surgery, data about actual clinical practices and associated complications are lacking. We aimed to analyze current practice in the clinical management of these cases. METHODS: Retrospective study of cases in the Biobadaderm database. We analyzed the management of biologic therapy in patients with psoriasis who underwent surgical procedures. RESULTS: Forty-eight of the 2113 patients registered in Biobadaderm underwent surgery. Thelargest percentage of procedures (31%) involved skin lesions. Biologic treatment was interrupted in 42% of the cases. No postsurgical complications were significantly related to treatment interruption. Likewise we detected no associations between treatment interruption and other variables, such as sex, age, or duration or severity of psoriasis. CONCLUSION: Continuity of biologic treatment and the risk of postsurgical complications were not associated in this study, although conclusions are limited by the small sample size

RESUMO

El Comité Asesor de Vacunas de la Asociación Española de Pediatría (CAV-AEP) emite todos los años sus recomendaciones sobre la vacunación frente a este virus en la infancia y la adolescencia. La vacunación de la gripe es una actuación especialmente beneficiosa cuando va dirigida a personas (niños y adultos) que se incluyen en los grupos de población considerados de riesgo. Sin embargo, muchos niños y adolescentes pertenecientes a estos grupos de riesgo, y sus convivientes, continúan sin recibir, por distintas razones, dicha vacunación anual. Asimismo, se insiste en la recomendación de la vacunación de los profesionales sanitarios. En el presente documento se presentan las recomendaciones para la vacunación antigripal en la temporada 2016-2017, y se explican los fundamentos y limitaciones de las mismas. Es necesaria una mayor implicación de los profesionales, las autoridades sanitarias y todos los agentes sociales para transmitir cada año a la población, y de forma especial a los padres de niños y adolescentes pertenecientes a los grupos de riesgo, las recomendaciones de vacunación frente a la gripe estacional (AU)


The Advisory Committee on Immunization of the Spanish Association of Paediatrics issues its recommendations about vaccination against influenza virus in children and adolescents every year before the onset of the flu season. Influenza vaccination is particularly beneficial when aimed at individuals, both children and adults, who are included in the population groups considered at risk. However, for various reasons, many children and adolescents with underlying conditions and their contacts are still not given this vaccination annually. There is a need for a greater involvement of health professionals, health authorities and all social agents to inform the population, especially to the parents of children and adolescents in those risk groups, on the recommendations for seasonal influenza vaccination. In this document, current recommendations for influenza vaccination for the 2016-2017 season are presented, and reasons and limitations are explained. The recommendation for influenza vaccination is emphasized for health professionals (AU)

RESUMO

La mucositis oral es una complicación importante de la terapia antineoplásica En la actualidad, la mucositis es uno de los efectos secundarios del tratamiento del cáncer al cual se le está dedicando un gran esfuerzo terapéutico para encontrar medidas farmacológicas, que reduzcan su incidencia, así como su impacto o gravedad debido a las consecuencias planteadas. El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar la patogénesis de la enfermedad y presentar los resultados de las diferentes alternativas terapéuticas estudiadas de forma experimental (AU)


Oral mucositis is a complication of antineoplastic therapy. Currently, it is devoting a great effort to find pharmacological therapeutic measures to reduce its incidence and its impact or severity due to raised consequences. The aim of this paper is to review the pathogenesis and the different therapeutic drugs in experimental oral mucositis (AU)

RESUMO

La Fascitis Necrotizante (FN) es una infección aguda y rápidamente progresiva que afecta a los tejidos blandos del organismo, presentando una elevada morbimortalidad. Su incidencia se ha incrementado en los últimos años, de manera que se estima que afecta a uno de cada 100.000 habitantes en nuestro medio. La FN representa la forma más severa de infección de partes blandas, debido principalmente a la rápida destrucción y necrosis tisular que genera, así como al desarrollo en un tercio de los casos de shock y fracaso multiorgánico. Generalmente, los agentes causales son polimicrobianos. El tratamiento de esta condición clínica tan severa consiste en llevar a cabo una fluidoterapia adecuada, una cobertura antibiótica apropiada y un desbridamiento quirúrgico agresivo. La localización torácica, ya sea como complicación postquirúrgica o debida a otra causa, es excepcional. Presentamos tres casos clínicos de esta entidad, detallando clínica, diagnóstico, tratamiento y evolución de cada uno


Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an acute and progressive infection affecting the soft tissues, with a high morbi-mortality rate. In recent years, incidence has increased; it has been calculated that it affects one in every one hundred thousand inhabitants in our environment. NF is the most severe soft tissue infection, due mainly to the rapid destruction and tissue necrosis that it generates, as well as one third of the patients developing shock and multi-organ failure. Generally, the causative agents are polymicrobial. Treating such a severe clinical condition includes adequate fluid therapy, appropriate antibiotic treatment and aggressive surgical debridement. Thoracic localization, whether due to post-surgical complication or other causes, is exceptional. We present three clinical cases of this entity, with in-depth clinical data, diagnosis, treatment and the evolution of each

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Few reported studies compare drug survival in moderate-to-severe psoriasis vulgaris. OBJECTIVES: To describe and compare drug survival of systemic drugs, including biologic agents (infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and ustekinumab) and classical drugs (acitretin, ciclosporin and methotrexate) in moderate-to-severe psoriasis. METHODS: This was a multicenter, prospective, cohort study of patients receiving systemic therapies between 2008 and 2013 in 12 hospitals in Spain. Baseline data and drug discontinuation were collected. Drug survival is presented using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. We compared adjusted risk ratios of serious adverse events (AEs) with results of survival analysis for AEs. RESULTS: A total of 1956 patients were included for analysis (1240 exposed to biologics during follow-up and 1076 to classic therapies). Median follow-up time was 3.3 years (0.0-5.1 years). There were 2209 discontinuations out of 3640 therapy cycles started. The main reason for discontinuation was lack of efficacy (36.4%) and remission (27.2%). Biologics showed a higher drug survival than classics and the pattern of survival results for all outcomes (positive or negative) were very similar. Adjusted risk ratios of serious AEs did not agree with results of survival analysis. LIMITATIONS: A limitation is that this is an observational study with potential selection bias. CONCLUSION: Survival as a proxy measure of drug safety in psoriasis is inadequate.

RESUMO

La enfermedad tromboembólica venosa es un proceso patológico que abarca tanto la trombosis venosa profunda como el tromboembolismo pulmonar. Son muchos los estudios que recogen la alta incidencia de esta enfermedad en pacientes afectos de lesiones neurológicas como la lesión medular, el traumatismo craneoencefálico o el ictus, todos ellos pacientes susceptibles de ingreso en centros de rehabilitación. En la literatura publicada existe controversia acerca de la necesidad de screening de enfermedad tromboembólica venosa en estos pacientes, el tiempo de mantenimiento de la profilaxis o los fármacos a utilizar tanto en la profilaxis como una vez se establece la sospecha o el diagnóstico definitivo de dicha enfermedad. Con esta revisión de la literatura pretendemos hacer un consenso para intentar aclarar dudas y establecer unas directrices de sospecha, diagnóstico y tratamiento que nos ayuden en la práctica clínica diaria


Venous thromboembolism is a disease that includes both deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Many studies reflect the high incidence of this disease in patients with neurological injuries such as, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or stroke, and all these patients are candidates for admission to rehabilitation centres. There is controversy in the published literature on the need for screening of deep vein thrombosis in these patients, time on prophylaxis drug maintenance or the drugs to use for prophylaxis once suspected or when the definite diagnosis of this disease is established. A review of the literature is presented in order to attempt to clarify these doubts and establish guidelines for suspicion, diagnosis and treatment to help us in daily clinical practice
