RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The influence of dental treatment on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) has rarely been evaluated in patients with intellectual disability (ID) through validated questionnaires. The aim of this study was to estimate the changes on OHRQOL in patients with ID after the implementation of an institutional dental treatment program under general anesthesia using the Franciscan Hospital for Children Oral Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire (FHCOHRQOL-Q). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted on 85 patients (mean age=24.85 years) classified according to DSM-V whose parents/caregivers completed the FHC-OHRQOL-Q. We analyzed the changes in the questionnaire's overall score and its dimensions from pre-treatment to 12-months of follow-up, considering effect sizes and minimal important differences estimated by the standard measurement error. The impact of clinical and therapeutic factors was evaluated using univariate and multiple linear regression analysis (p<0.05). RESULTS: Significant improvement of OHRQOL was found after dental treatment in oral symptoms (p0.001), daily life problems (p=0.018), parent's perceptions (p=0.013) and FHCOHRQOL-Q´s overall score (p=0.001). OHRQOL changes exhibited an intermediate magnitude (0.38-0.21) as estimated by effect sizes. Changes in oral symptoms showed positive correlation with DMFT index (r=0.375, p=0.002), decayed teeth (r=0.244, p=0.036), dental extractions (r=0.424, p<0.001) and number of treatments (r=0.255, p=0.019). The improvement was greater in patients with 4 decayed teeth (p=0.049) and undergoing 2 dental extractions (p=0.002). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that dental extractions (p<0.001) and DMFT index (p=0.028) were significantly related to oral symptom improvement. CONCLUSIONS: Dental treatment under general anesthesia showed a positive effect on the overall FHC-OHRQOL-Q score and most of its dimensions. At 12-months of follow-up, the improvement of oral symptoms was significantly associated with DMFT index, decayed teeth, dental extractions and number of treatments. In our clinical setting, the implementation of a dental treatment program enhanced the OHRQOL of patients with ID.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The Franciscan Hospital for Children Oral Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire (FHC-OHRQOL-Q) is an instrument designed specifically for parents and caregivers of patients with special needs that has not yet been applied in Spain. The aim of this study was to adapt it to Spanish and evaluate its reliability and validity in patients with intellectual disability (ID) treated under general anesthesia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was conducted in two different stages: a) cross-cultural adaptation of the original questionnaire, and b) cross-sectional study on 100 parents and caregivers who completed the piloted FHC-OHRQOL-Q. The patients were examined according to the WHO methodology. Dental treatments performed were recorded. Statistical tests were used to evaluate reliability (internal consistency) and validity (content, criterion, construct and discriminant) of the instrument. RESULTS: The mean age was 24 years (range=4-71 years). The most frequent causes of ID were psychomotor retardation (25%) and cerebral palsy (24%). The items most frequently answered by parents and caregivers were eating and nutrition problems (80%) and bad breath/taste (57%). Reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) was considered excellent (alpha=0.80-0.95). The analysis of the factorial validity yielded similar results to the original questionnaire. The high response rate of items (>96%) allowed content validity. Criterion validity was confirmed by a significant correlation with questions on oral health and oral well-being. Discriminant validity was demonstrated by the significant association of ≥21.5 years of age with worse oral symptoms (p=0.034) and parental concerns (p=0.005), DMFT index ≥3 with daily life problems (p=0.02), ≥4 decayed teeth with daily life problems (p=0.001), and >2 dental extractions with oral symptoms (p=0.000), daily life problems (p=0.002) and parent's perceptions (p=0.043). CONCLUSIONS: The FHC-OHRQOL-Q in Spanish is a reliable and valid instrument to apply in clinical practice to evaluate the impact of OHRQOL in mostly adult patients with ID, accessible to Spanish-speaking parents and caregivers.

RESUMO

La deformidad de Haglund, el espolón calcáneo posterosuperior y el espolón plantar son las exostosis más frecuentes a nivel del talón, siendo importante estar familiarizado con ellas porque, en ocasiones, pueden asociarse a tendinopatía aquílea o a fascitis plantar, siendo estas las principales causas de dolor en el retropié. No obstante, estas exostosis pueden estar presentes en pacientes asintomáticos y, en ocasiones, coexistir simultáneamente, tendiendo que tener muy claros todos estos conceptos cuando nos encontremos con un paciente con dolor en el talón. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 58 años con dolor en el retropié izquierdo de 3 meses de evolución, sin antecedentes de traumatismo previo, que presentaba una tumoración palpable a nivel del talón izquierdo y que fue diagnosticada de síndrome de Haglund con espolón calcáneo posterosuperior asociado (AU)


Haglund's deformity, posterior-superior heel spur and plantar spur are the most common exostosis in the rearfoot. It is very important to be familiar with these entities, because they can sometimes be associated with Achilles tendinopathy or plantar fasciitis, which are the main causes of heel pain. Nevertheless, these exostoses may be present in asymptomatic patients and can sometimes coexist simultaneously. All these concepts need to be taken into consideration in patients with heel pain. We report the case of a 58-year-old woman with a 3 month history of left rearfoot pain, with no history of previous trauma, who presented with a palpable tumor in the left heel and was finally diagnosed with Haglund's syndrome associated with posterior-superior heel spur (AU)

RESUMO

Background: Treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is generally based on genetic testing performed in primary tumor biopsies, but whether the genomic status of primary tumors is identical to that of metastases is not well known. We compared the gene expression profiles of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) biopsies of colorectal primary tumors and matched liver metastases. Patients and methods: We compared the expression of 18 genes in FFPE CRC tumors and their matched liver metastases from 32 patients. The expression of each gene in CRC primary tumors and their matched liver metastases was tested using Student’s t test for paired samples. Pairwise correlations of each gene in the primary tumors and matched liver metastases were evaluated by Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results: The expression of six genes was significantly different in primary tumors compared with their matched liver metastases [CXCR4 (p < 0.001), THBS1 (p = 0.007), MMP 9 (p = 0.048), GST Pi (p = 0.050), TYMP(p = 0.042) and DPYD (p < 0.001)]. For the remaining genes, where no significant differences were observed, only SMAD4 (r s = 0.447, p = 0.010), ERCC1 (r s = 0.423, p = 0.016) and VEGF A (r s = 0.453, p = 0.009) showed significant correlation in expression between the two tissues. Therefore, we only detected similar gene expression levels between the tumor and the metastases in these three markers. Conclusions: We only found similar gene expression levels between the tumor and the metastases in three genes (SMAD4, ERCC1, and VEGF A). However, our study could not assess whether the differences in gene expression were secondary to tumoral heterogeneity or to molecular changes induced by previous chemotherapy (AU)

RESUMO

Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the food habits and nutritional status of free-living, non-institutionalised, elderly people of Torrevieja, a Spanish city located in the Mediterranean coast. Methods: Anthropometric and dietary survey (two 24 hour recalls) were assessed in 200 (83 men and 117 women) free-living elderly people (average age 72.3 ± 6.6 years). Results: Just married women accomplished the recommended energy intake. The contribution of macronutrients to the total energy intake was different from the Recommended Intake for the elderly, since it was too derived from proteins, fats, SFA and sugars, but in only small amounts was derived from complex carbohydrates. High percentages of elderly persons showed inadequate intake of calcium, zinc, magnesium, potassium, copper, iodine, folic acid, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and riboflavin. Men showed lower micronutrient intake than women. Conclusions: An increase in dietary complex carbohydrate, and a decrease in protein and fats, especially SFA, is recommended. It would be desirable to increase the consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole cereals, fish and skimmed dairy products (AU)


Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue valorar los hábitos alimentarios y el estado nutricional de un grupo de ancianos de Torrevieja que viven de forma no institucionalizada. Métodos: Las medidas antropométricas y el análisis de la dieta (2 cuestionarios de recuerdo de 24 horas) se utilizaron en 200 personas (83 hombres y 117 mujeres) ancianos que viven independientes (media de edad 72,3 ± 6,6 años). Resultados: Las mujeres casadas cumplían con las recomendaciones diarias de ingesta de energía. La contribución de los macronutrientes a la ingesta energética total fue diferente de las ingestas recomendadas a los ancianos, debido al exceso de ingesta de proteínas, grasas, AGS, y azúcares simples, sin embargo solo una pequeña cantidad derivaba de carbohidratos complejos. Un alto porcentaje de ancianos mostraron ingesta inadecuada de calcio, zinc, magnesio, potasio, cobre, iodo, ácido fólico, vitamina A, vitamina D, vitamina E y riboflavina. Los hombres mostraron menor ingesta de micronutrientes que las mujeres. Conclusión: Un incremento de carbohidratos complejos y una disminución en la ingesta de proteínas y grasas, sobretodo saturadas es lo que se recomienda. Sería interesante incrementar el consumo de vegetales, frutas, cereales integrales, pescado y productos lácteos desnatados. Además de suplementar la dieta, especialmente con calcio, vitamina E y ocasionalmente vitamina D, podría ser útil para mejorar el estado de salud y el estado nutricional de los ancianos que viven en Torrevieja(AU)

RESUMO

Introducción. En el siglo Xxi la mayor amenaza, probablemente, con la que se enfrentan los sistemas sanitarios es el incremento continuado del gasto, producido por el aumento en las expectativas en salud y una mayor calidad y esperanza de vida de la población. Esto obliga a incorporar nuevas herramientas de gestión a la práctica clínica. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar el acuerdo de gestión de una unidad de gestión clínica del aparato locomotor y rehabilitación (UGC-AL). Material y métodos. La UGC-AL está compuesta por 18 personas que integran tres especialidades relacionadas con la patología del aparato locomotor para dar respuesta a las necesidades de la población del área sanitaria correspondiente, siguiendo el modelo de excelencia de la calidad. Resultados. El acuerdo de gestión de la UGC-AL consta de 10 dimensiones con 28 objetivos. El mismo recoge, entre otras, las dimensiones siguientes: accesibilidad, normas de calidad de los procesos asistenciales integrados, orientación al ciudadano, continuidad asistencial y disminución de la variabilidad clínica. Conclusión. Desde su creación, la UGC-AL se constituye como única “puerta de entrada” al sistema de todos los pacientes con patología no quirúrgica del aparato locomotor, mejorando la accesibilidad, aumentando la actividad clínica, disminuyendo la demora, facilitando la continuidad asistencial, para mejorar la calidad y seguridad del paciente, disminuyendo la variabilidad en la práctica clínica (DVPC) (AU)


Background. The continuous rise in costs cost, due to the increase of the expectations in health care and greater quality and life expectancy of the population, is probably the main threat faced by the health care systems in the Xxi century. Thus, new management tools must be incorporated into the clinical practice. The aim of this work is to present the care management agreement of a Clinical Management Unit in Locomotive Apparatus and Rehabilitation (CMU-LA). Methods. The CMU-LA is formed by 18 people from three specialties related with Locomotive Apparatus disease who use the excellence in quality model to satisfy the needs of the population of the corresponding Health Care Area. Results. The care management agreement of the CMU-LA has of 10 dimensions with 28 objectives. This agreement includes the following dimensions: Accessibility, Quality standards for integrated welfare processes, Citizen Guidance, Continuity of care, Decrease of the clinical variability. Conclusions. Since its creation, the CMU-LA is the only entry point for patients having Locomotive Apparatus problems that do not require surgery. It creation has led to improvement in accessibility, an increase in clinical activity, a reduction of the delay, and thus it has favored care continuity in order to improve the quality and safety of the patient, diminishing variability in the clinical practice (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivos: Evidenciar las posibles contaminaciones locales de algunos elementos traza y metales pesado en la Antártida. Lugar de realización: Muestras procedentes de la Isla Livingston, Base Juan Carlos I y la Isla Decepción, base Gabriel de Castilla (Shetland del Sur). Determinaciones analíticas en el Servicio de Toxicología del Instituto de Medicina Preventiva de la Defensa. Diseño: Colaboración de la Unidad Funcional de Medicina Antártica del Hospital General Básico de la Defensa de Cartagena y el Instituto de Medicin aPreventiva de la Defensa. Material y métodos: Equipo de acoplamiento inductivo de plasma con un espectómetro de masas como detector (ICP-MS) y cámara de reacción dinámica (DRC). Resultados: Se determina la concentración de Mn, Cu, Mo, Ag, U, Cr, Ni, Cd, Sb, Ba, TI, Pb, Th, Al, Zn y HG en muestras de agua de mar y hielo flotante en zonas de tránsito alejadas aproximadamente 300 metros del mismo. Las concentraciones encontradas en la muestra de hielo flotante en zona de tránsito y alejadas aproximadamente 300 metros del mismo. Las concentraciones encontradas en la muestra de hielo flotante en zona de tránsito son superiores para todos los elementos excepto el mercurio. Conclusiones: Existe una contaminación local en las zonas de tránsito para la mayoría de los elementos de estudio. Los valores encontrados son comparables a los reflejados en la bibliografía aunque algo más elevados en el caso del cadmio, el manganeso y el antimonio y claramente superiores en el caso del cobre, zinc y el cromo. Los datos parecen corroborar la existencia de una mayor concentración de cadmio en la zona de la Antártida

RESUMO

Introducción. La migraña representa el 10 por ciento de las primeras consultas neurológicas en España, y más de la mitad de las nuevas consultas en las unidades de cefaleas (UC); de ahí la importancia de esta patología. Objetivo. Valorar si existen diferencias entre los pacientes con migraña enviados a una consulta general de neurología (CGN) o a una UC. Pacientes y métodos. Se comparan dos grupos de pacientes con migraña: unos enviados por primera vez a CGN y otros enviados directamente a una UC. Resultados. En la CGN, el 10,7 por ciento (374 pacientes) del total de nuevas consultas fueron por migraña; se compararon con 107 migrañas (64 por ciento) del total de cefaleas atendidas por primera vez en la UC durante el año 2000. La edad media y el sexo fueron similares en ambos grupos. En el grupo de migrañas de la UC se solicitaron más TAC/RM (20 por ciento); el 77,5 por ciento de los pacientes llevaba tratamiento previo, se puso tratamiento preventivo al 71 por ciento, triptanes al 51 por ciento y precisó revisión el 44,8 por ciento. En el grupo de migraña de la consulta general se solicitaron menos TAC/RM (14 por ciento), sólo el 20 por ciento llevaba tratamiento previo, se instauró tratamiento preventivo al 45 por ciento, triptanes al 6 por ciento y precisó revisión el 25 por ciento. Conclusiones. El grupo de pacientes con migraña enviados a la UC presentó una patología más grave, precisó más tratamientos preventivos, mayor utilización de triptanes y mayor control posterior que el grupo de pacientes con migraña enviados a la CGN (AU)


Introduction. Migraine accounts for 10% of patients’ first visits due to neurological reasons in Spain and over half the new visits in headache units (HU) and hence the importance of this pathology. Aims. The aim of this study is to determine whether there are any differences between migraine patients referred to a general neurology service (GNS) or to a HU. Patients and methods. Two groups of patients with migraine were compared: those sent for the first time to a GNS and the others, who were sent directly to a HU. Results. In a GNS, 10.7% (374 patients) of the overall number of new visits concerned migraines; these were compared with 107 migraines (64%) from the total number of headaches treated for the first time in the HU during the year 2000. The average age and distribution of sexes were similar in both groups. In the group of migraines from the HU there were more requests for CAT/MRI (20%), 77.5% had previous treatment, 71% were given preventive therapy, 51% received triptans and 44.8% needed an examination. In the group of migraines from visits to general service, there were fewer requests for CAT/MRI (14%), only 20% had previous therapy, preventive therapy was started in 45%, 6% received triptans and 25% required an examination. Conclusions. The group of patients with migraine who were sent to the HU presented a more serious pathology, required more preventive therapies, more triptans and more monitoring than the group of patients with migraine referred to the GNS (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción. La incorporación de las técnicas de neuroimagen al protocolo de localización de los focos epileptógenos ha disminuido de forma considerable la necesidad de utilizar electrodos intracraneales. Desarrollo. La SPECT y PET alcanzan su máxima utilidad en aquellos casos en que las epilepsias no cursan con anomalías morfológicas cerebrales y que, por tanto, no son visibles con RM. La SPECT cerebral con trazadores de perfusión, como 99m Tc-HMPAO, 123 I-IMP o 99m Tc-ECD, permite estudiar a los pacientes en fase interictal y perictal; en este último caso, aunque la metodología es complicada, se puede observar aumento de flujo sanguíneo cerebral en el foco epileptógeno en un 90 por ciento de los pacientes. La PET con FDG permite el estudio interictal de los pacientes, demostrando disminución del metabolismo en la región epileptógena. En comparación con el vídeo-EEG presenta una S= 84 por ciento yE= 86 por ciento en las epilepsias del lóbulo temporal. El rendimiento diagnóstico de ambas técnicas es algo menor en la localización de focos extratemporales y de epilepsias multifocales, aunque siempre mayorque con otras técnicas diagnósticas. También han demostrado tener valor pronóstico en el examen de la recuperación funcional tras la cirugía. Conclusiones. La posibilidad de estudiar neurorreceptorespuede ser de gran utilidad en la investigación de la etiopatogenia de la epilepsia, condicionando así un mejor manejo clínico y terapéutico de los pacientes. Con la SPECT se utiliza el 123 I-Iomacenil y la123 I-Iododexetimida.Con la PET y el 11C-Carfentanilse han estudiado los receptores opiáceos. Con el 11C-Fluomacenil puede estudiarse la distribución cerebral de los receptores benzodiacepínicos (AU)
