RESUMO

Resumen Algunos estudios sugieren que existe una relación entre el uso de antipsicóticos y el riesgo de tromboembolismo venoso (TEV) y embolia pulmonar (EP). Sin embargo, los resultados siguen sin ser concluyentes. Se trata del caso de un Masculino de 23 años con antecedentes de Esquizofrenia y Depresión tratado quetiapina 800 mg, el cual es encontrado muerto en la cama de un hotel. En la necropsia sin lesiones traumáticas visibles, hallazgos histológicos de tromboembolismo pulmonar masivo con infartos pulmonares secundarios. Laboratorio de Toxicología detectó la presencia de quetiapina, no se detectó alcohol o drogas de abusos. Mediante el Algoritmo De Karch & Lasagna Modificado el tromboembolismo pulmonar fue una reacción adversa con una probabilidad de relación causal posible. Se han informado muchos casos de muerte súbita causada por EP con la exposición a antipsicóticos, pero la relación de su uso y el riesgo de TEV y EP sigue siendo controvertida.


Abstract Some studies suggest a relationship between antipsychotic use and the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and pulmonary embolism (PE). However, the results remain inconclusive. This is the case of a 23-year-old male with a history of schizophrenia and depression treated with quetiapine 800 mg, who was found dead in a hotel bed. At necropsy with no visible traumatic lesions, histological findings of massive pulmonary thromboembolism with secondary pulmonary infarcts. Toxicology laboratory detected the presence of quetiapine, no alcohol or drugs of abuse were detected. Using the Modified Karch & Lasagna Algorithm, pulmonary thromboembolism was an adverse reaction with a probable causal relationship. Many cases of sudden death caused by PE have been reported with exposure to antipsychotics, but the relationship of their use and the risk of VTE and PE remains controversial.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is one of the most effective surgical treatments for male urinary incontinence regardless of its severity. Current knowledge comes from high-volume centers, but little is known about the performance of this surgery from community practices. This study aims to report contemporary AUS performance in a nationwide observational study in Colombia. METHODS: Male patients who underwent AUS surgery with AMS 800™ between 2000 and 2020 in more than 17 centers and four cities were identified. Pre, intra, and postoperative characteristics were evaluated, mainly addressing patient reported outcomes measurements in the postoperative period. Retrospective and prospective data collection and descriptive analysis were completed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine AUS survival rate. RESULTS: Out of an initial 667 cases, a total of 215 patients met inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included. Mean age was 67 ± 9.4 years, and mean follow-up was 6.0 ± 4.4 years with maximum range of 14 years. The etiology of urinary incontinence was prostate cancer surgery in 141 (81%) of the cases. The rest of the cases were related to benign prostatic disease or spinal cord injury. It is noteworthy that out of 115 patients, only 59 (51.3%) reported previous formal pelvic floor rehabilitation. Subjective severity of urinary incontinence determined by a visual analog scale showed a decrease in 4.5 points after sphincter implantation. Sphincter removal was required in 50 (23.2%) cases. The main reasons for implant removal were urethral erosion and infection. The sphincter survival rate at 2, 5, 8, 10, and 14 years was 76%, 70%, 60%, 57%, and 17%, respectively. Of the subjects at the last follow-up with the device still in place, 80.7% defined their urinary condition as "does not cause or causes minor discomfort," and 99% would recommend the device to a friend or relative in the same condition. CONCLUSIONS: This series from a community-based practice shows the lack of adherence to clinical practice guidelines and the lack of standardized data collection. In contrast, this study provides real-world data on explantation and revision rates, allows physicians to inform patients and to have clear metrics for a shared decision-making process before the procedure.

RESUMO

Acinetobacter ursingii is an anaerobic gram negative opportunistic coccobacillus, rarely isolated in bacteremic patients. It is mainly found in immunocompromised and severely ill patients with no identifiable source of infection. When isolated into the bloodstream, it usually displays resistance to at least two antimicrobial agents. To date only seven cases of bacteremia due to this microorganism have been reported in adults, of which, this accounts for the second one associated to renal replacement therapy and the first case of a documented catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) in a patient with a hemodialysis catheter. A 78-year-old male presented into the emergency department with acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis, later developing bacteremia due to Acinetobacter ursingii.

RESUMO

Resumen El objetivo de este estudio era evaluar los alcances de la aplicación del programa de prevención del consumo abusivo y la dependencia alcohólica "Pactos por la Vida" propuesto por Flórez-Alarcón y Vélez (2012), en la modificación de factores asociados al consumo de drogas en un Municipio Pequeño. Los instrumentos usados para la evaluación cuantitativa y cualitativa de los alcances del programa fueron: entrevista en profundidad, diarios de campo, mapeo, encuestas y registros de observación directa. Se realizaron análisis cualitativos del material obtenido y comparaciones de medias de las medidas asociadas con el consumo de alcohol; además de incluir un cuadro de análisis de la eficacia del programa. Se concluye que la estrategia es probablemente efectiva, y que en su aplicación a Municipios pequeños requiere de un ajuste.


Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the scope of the implementation of the "Pacts for Life" program, designed to prevent alcohol abuse and dependence (Flórez-Alarcón & Velez, 2012), in modifying factors associated to drug use in a small municipality. Instruments used for the quantitative and qualitative assessment were: in-depth interview, field notes, mapping, surveys and direct observation records. Qualitative analysis of the material obtained and comparison of means of measurements associated with alcohol consumption were performed; and an analysis of the effectiveness of the program is included. We conclude that the strategy is probably effective, and that its application to small municipalities requires adjustment.

RESUMO

Introducción: En los últimos 45 años las tasas de suicidio se han incrementado un 60 por ciento en el mundo. A escala mundial, el suicidio se ha ubicado como una de las cinco primeras causas de muerte en el grupo de edad de 15 a 19 años. Factores de riesgo identificados: ser mujer, antecedentes personales o familiares de intento suicida, presentar trastornos del ánimo, ansiedad, depresión y consumir sustancias psicoactivas; se considera que más del 50 por ciento de los adolescentes sufren depresión mayor. El objetivo de este estudio fue medir el riesgo suicida en adolescentes escolarizados de la ciudad de Manizales (Colombia) y establecer un perfil sociodemográfico y epidemiológico.Materiales y Métodos: Estudio de corte transversal, en el cual se seleccionó una muestra probabilí­stica de 339 alumnos de los colegios participantes, y se aplicaron diversos instrumentos para la medición del riesgo suicida y de las variables asociadas.Resultados: El 56,8 por ciento de los participantes fueron hombres y 43,2 por ciento mujeres; 10,2 por ciento habían efectuado un intento suicida, 12,8 por ciento presentaron riesgo suicida y 19,9 por ciento tení­an antecedentes familiares de intento suicida; solo el 31,6 por ciento gozaban de buena función familiar, disfunción familiar severa en el 11,4 por ciento. 16,6 por ciento presentaban ansiedad y 2,9 por ciento depresión; 39,2 por ciento son dependientes del alcohol, 8,8 por ciento consumen drogas y 15,3 por ciento fuman.Conclusiones: se concluyó que ser mujer, tener una disfunción familiar severa, una decepción amorosa, antecedentes personales o familiares de intento suicida, fumar y consumir sustancias psicoactivas o padecer algún trastorno psiquiátrico como la ansiedad y la depresión mayor, aumentan el riesgo de suicidio...
