RESUMO

Leishmania infantum is the main causative agent responsible for visceral leishmaniasis (VL), a disease with global distribution. The genomic structure and genetic variation of this species have been widely studied in different parts of the world. However, in some countries, this information is still yet unknown, as is the genomic behaviour of the main antigens used in VL diagnosis (rK39 and rK28), which have demonstrated variable sensitivity and specificity in a manner dependent on the geographic region analysed. The objective of this study was to explore the genomic architecture and diversity of four Colombian L. infantum isolates obtained in this study and to compare these results with the genetic analysis of 183 L. infantum isolates from across the world (obtained from public databases), as well as to analyse the whole rK39 and rK28 antigen sequences in our dataset. The results showed that, at the global level, L. infantum has high genetic homogeneity and extensive aneuploidy. Furthermore, we demonstrated that there are distinct populations of L. infantum circulating in various countries throughout the globe and that populations of distant countries have close genomic relationships. Additionally, this study demonstrated the high genetic variability of the rK28 antigen worldwide. In conclusion, our study allowed us to (i) expand our knowledge of the genomic structure of global L. infantum; (ii) describe the intra-specific genomic variability of this species; and (iii) understand the genomic characteristics of the main antigens used in the diagnosis of VL. Additionally, this is the first study to report whole-genome sequences of Colombian L. infantum isolates.

RESUMO

Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly, resulting from incomplete obliteration of the most proximal portion of the omphalomesenteric duct. It generally remains silent, but life-threatening complications may arise in 4-6% of the patients. We present a case of a 16-year-old male, who arrived at the emergency room with crampy abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, suggestive of acute appendicitis. Surgical exploration revealed 150 cm of infarcted small bowel, secondary to a mesodiverticular band of a Meckel's diverticulum at the site of obstruction. The ischemic small bowel with Meckel's diverticulum was resected, and an ileo-ileal anastomosis was carried out. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the fifth postoperative day. He was seen 12 months after his initial surgery, with a favorable outcome.

RESUMO

Resumen: OBJETIVO: Identificar los serotipos más frecuentes de virus del papiloma humano mediante pruebas al azar en pacientes previamente diagnosticadas con cáncer cervicouterino. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio prospectivo y observacional, efectuado en pacientes con displasia cervical, atendidas en el Hospital Regional Materno Infantil de Alta Especialidad de Nuevo León, Monterrey, entre enero y marzo de 2016. Criterios de inclusión: pacientes mayores de 18 años, que acudieron a la unidad médica para seguimiento y control ginecológico, con reporte anormal en la prueba de Papanicolaou, confirmado por histopatología, mediante biopsia dirigida por colposcopia. Criterios de exclusión: mujeres con histerectomía total por indicación de enfermedad benigna, sin antecedente de neoplasia intracervical; mayores a 70 años después de 3 citologías cervicales negativas en la década previa; pacientes que recibieron quimioterapia, radioterapia u otros tratamientos farmacológicos y quienes acudieron a revisión médica durante su ciclo menstrual. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó estadística descriptiva. RESULTADOS: Se registraron 30 pacientes. Las clasificaciones más frecuentes de neoplasia cervical fueron: NIC-1 (n = 15), NIC-2 (n = 9) y NIC-3 (n = 6). Todas las pacientes analizadas tuvieron, al menos, un serotipo de VPH de alto riesgo. Los serotipos identificados con mayor frecuencia fueron el 31 y 33 (n = 18). En 18 pacientes se encontraron 6 o más serotipos de VPH. De 15 pacientes con lesiones de alto grado, 8 tuvieron la asociación de serotipos 31 y 33, y en 6 se identificó un serotipo aislado (16 y 51). CONCLUSIONES: Los serotipos identificados con mayor frecuencia fueron el 31 y 33. Desafortunadamente, la vacuna nonavalente que protege contra los serotipos más frecuentes de VPH no se encuentra disponible en Latinoamérica.


Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To identify the most frequent serotypes of human papillomavirus through random testing of patients previously diagnosed with cervical cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective, observational study carried out in patients with cervical dysplasia, treated at the High Specialty Regional Maternal and Child Hospital of Nuevo León, Monterrey. Inclusion criteria: patients over 18 years of age, who attended the Dysplasia Clinic of the High Specialty Regional Maternal and Child Hospital for gynecological follow-up and control, with an abnormal result in the Papanicolaou test, confirmed by histopathology, by means of colposcopy-directed biopsy. Before the procedures (cervical cytology), Exclusion criteria: women with total hysterectomy due to indications of benign disease, without a history of intracervical neoplasia; older than 70 years after 3 negative cervical cytology in the previous decade; patients who received chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other pharmacological treatments and who received medical check-ups during their menstrual cycle. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. RESULTS: 30 patients were registered. The most frequent classification of cervical neoplasia was: CIN1 (n = 15), CIN2 (n = 9) and CIN3 (n = 6). All the patients analyzed had at least one high-risk HPV serotype. The most frequently identified serotypes were 31 and 33 (n = 18 of 30). 6 or more HPV serotypes were found in 18 patients. Of 15 patients with high-grade lesions, 8 had the association of serotypes 31 and 33, and in 6 an isolated serotype was identified (16 and 51). CONCLUSIONS: The most frequently identified serotypes were 31 and 33. Unfortunately, the nonavalent vaccine that protects against the most frequent serotypes of HPV is not available in Latin America.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Review and determination of ideal characteristics for the management of obesity by intragastric balloon, in Monterrey, Mexico. METHOD: Retrospective analysis of 152 patients, with overweight and obesity from January 2009 to December 2015, to whom an intragastric balloon was placed. Demography, weight loss, decrease in body mass index (BMI) and complications were analyzed. The objective was to determine the group of patients that will benefit the most after endoscopic intragastric balloon placement. RESULTS: A sample of 120 women and 32 men was analyzed. As expected, greater weight loss was observed in patients with BMI > 40 (n = 10, 6.57%, m = 26.29 ± 5.69; p = 0.001) and the lowest in patients with a BMI < 29.9 (n = 24, 15.78 %). Greater satisfaction was detected among patients with an average loss of 15.24 ± 2.75 kg (p < 0.001), and greater indifference among patients with greater losses. There is a tendency among women towards dissatisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: The greatest weight loss was observed among patients with a BMI > 40, although the highest satisfaction was observed among men with an average BMI of 32, which is why we recommend the procedure for these patients. We consider it to be an excellent bridge procedure for patients with BMI > 50.


OBJETIVO: Revisión y determinación de las características ideales para el manejo de la obesidad por medio de balón intragástrico, en Monterrey, México. MÉTODO: Análisis retrospectivo de 152 pacientes, con sobrepeso y obesidad, de enero de 2009 a diciembre de 2015, a quienes se colocó un balón intragástrico. Se analizaron la demografía, la pérdida de peso, la disminución del índice de masa corporal (IMC) y las complicaciones. El objetivo fue determinar el grupo de pacientes que mejores resultados obtendrán tras la colocación del dispositivo por endoscopia. RESULTADOS: Se obtuvo una muestra de 152 pacientes, 120 mujeres y 32 hombres. Como era de esperar, se observó la mayor pérdida de peso en los pacientes con IMC > 40 (n = 10, 6.57%, m = 26.29 ± 5.69; p = 0.001) y la menor en los pacientes con IMC < 29.9 (n = 24, 15.78%). Se detectó una mayor satisfacción en los pacientes con una pérdida promedio de 15.24 ± 2.75kg (p < 0.001), y mayor indiferencia en los pacientes con mayores pérdidas. Se observa una tendencia en las mujeres hacia la insatisfacción. CONCLUSIONES: La mayor pérdida de peso se observó en los pacientes de IMC > 40, aunque la mayor satisfacción se observó en los hombres con IMC promedio de 32, por lo que lo recomendamos para estos pacientes. Consideramos que es un excelente procedimiento puente para pacientes con IMC > 50.

RESUMO

We present a series of 4 cases of pressure-induced stromal keratopathy after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Four patients (5 eyes) with previous LASIK presented for poor visual acuity and ocular pain because of ocular hypertension. At examination, all cases revealed corneal haze and a space filled with fluid between the surgical flap and the residual stroma. All cases were managed with topical hypotensive treatment and one of them was also treated with a valve drainage device. Topical steroids restriction was indicated in all cases. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was normalized in all cases with subsequent interface fluid resolution and significant improvement of vision in most cases. Early recognition and appropriate treatment for pressure-induced stromal keratopathy is essential to avoid complications associated with prolonged elevated IOP. It is extremely important to measure the IOP in the peripheral cornea because IOP in the central cornea can be incorrectly measured with the characteristic interface fluid developed in this entity.

RESUMO

Fundamento: el trabajo independiente es una modalidad de organización docente que contribuye a que los alumnos aprendan a estudiar con sus propios esfuerzos, estimulen su actividad creadora y formen hábitos correctos para la autosuperación. Objetivo: diseñar un sistema de tareas docentes para desarrollar habilidades de trabajo independiente a través de los contenidos de Medicina Natural y Tradicional. Métodos: se realizó una investigación de tipo descriptivo, en la Filial Universitaria de la Salud de Aguada de Pasajeros durante el curso 2012-2013. Se utilizaron como métodos teóricos: analítico-sintético, inductivo-deductivo e histórico-lógico; empíricos: análisis documental, observación, entrevistas a profesores y estudiantes, y para la valoración de la propuesta se utilizó el criterio de especialistas. Resultados: el programa de la carrera está bien diseñado para la realización del trabajo independiente, sin embargo, el de la asignatura no enfatiza lo suficiente en él, ni en la vinculación de la teoría con la práctica; en las actividades observadas se constató que los estudiantes tienen limitaciones en el desarrollo de las habilidades de trabajo independiente; y los profesores perciben que los estudiantes necesitan de mucha ayuda y más tiempo para realizarlo, por lo que se diseñó un sistema de tareas docentes donde predomina el fundamento pedagógico de sus presupuestos didácticos. Conclusiones: el sistema de tareas docentes diseñado fue valorado satisfactoriamente por los especialistas que confirmaron su viabilidad, pertinencia y rigor científico, por lo que puede ser aplicado y generalizado en otras instituciones de salud.


Background: the independent work is a modality of the teaching organization which contributes to the learning of the students to study by their own. It stimulates the creative activity and the proper habits formation for self upgrading. Objective: to design a system of teaching tasks to develop the ability of independent work through the Herbal and Folk Medicine. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in Aguada de Pasajeros University Site in the academic year 2012-2013. Theoretical methods were used: Analysis-synthesis, inductive-deductive and historical-logical. Empiric methods: Documentary analysis, observation and an interview to professors and students and the criteria of specialists for the valuation of the proposal. Results: the career syllabus is well designed for the development of the independent work, however, it was not sufficiently emphasized in the subject syllabus, nor the links of theory and practice. It could be stated that in the activities which were observed the students had limitations in the development of the independent work ability, the professors have realized that the students need more time and help to do the tasks, that´s why it was designed a system of teaching tasks where the pedagogical bases of the didactic foundations are predominant. Conclusions: the system of teaching tasks was satisfactorily valued by the specialists who stated its feasibility, pertinence, and scientific accuracy, so it can be applied and generalized by other health institutions.

RESUMO

Presentamos un caso de trisomía del cromosoma 8 mosaico, diagnosticado mediante citogenética con técnicas de hibridación in situ con fluorescencia (FISH) tras amniocentesis a las 18 semanas de la gestación, en una paciente que en el estudio ecográfico mostró imágenes de quiste unilateral de los plexos coroideos, así como un hemangioma placentario. Se hace una valoración de los hallazgos fenotípicos fetales en el estudio necrópsico, que se comparan con los descritos en diferentes casos de trisomías totales y/o parciales del cromosoma 8, y se valora muy especialmente la relación existente entre la presencia de quistes de los plexos coroideos y la aparición de cromosomopatías(AU)


We report a case of trisomy 8 mosaicism, diagnosed by FISH (fluorescent in situ hibridization) after 18 week pregnancy amniocentesis, in a patient whose ultrasound scan showed a unilateral choroid plexus cyst and placental haemangioma. We assessed the foetopathological examination, comparing it with different cases of total and partial trisomies of chromosome 8, paying special attention to the relationship between choroid plexus cyst and chromosomopathies(AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Low-grade inflammation has been related to obesity, insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. The Asp358Ala variant and the CA-repeat polymorphism in the interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) gene have been reported to be associated with obesity in Pima Indians and Spanish women, respectively. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between these polymorphisms and obesity in a Mediterranean-Caucasian population, and to determine whether this polymorphism was related to the metabolic syndrome as defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program - Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP/ATP-III) criteria. DESIGN: Cross-sectional. PATIENTS: Three hundred and ninety subjects from the general population. METHODS: The Asp358Ala and CA-repeat polymorphisms were analysed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism or capillary electrophoresis, respectively. RESULTS: Both polymorphisms were in strong linkage disequilibrium, Asp358 alleles being associated with 149 CA-repeat alleles (chi2 = 76.275, P < 0.0001). Therefore, only the association of the Asp358Ala variant with obesity and the metabolic syndrome was assessed in the whole series of subjects. Subjects homozygous for Asp358 alleles had statistically higher body mass index (BMI) compared with Ala358 carriers (27.7 +/- 5.41 vs. 26.6 +/- 4.96 kg/m2; P < 0.05). Moreover, the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome was significantly higher in carriers of the Asp358 allele compared with Ala358 homozygotes (12.7%vs. 0.0%; P = 0.01). This relationship remained significant after adjusting for age, insulin resistance, sex and BMI. CONCLUSIONS: The Asp358Ala and CA-repeat polymorphisms in the IL-6R gene are associated with obesity and characteristics of the metabolic syndrome in our population of Mediterranean subjects.

RESUMO

Presentamos el diagnóstico prenatal de un caso de trisomía parcial del cromosoma 1 (1q25-qter) por translocación paterna en una paciente de 31 años, a la que se realizó amniocentesis para estudio cromosómico a las 16 semanas de gestación por la existencia de datos dismorfológicos ecográficos. Se efectúa un estudio necrópsico del feto y las anomalías encontradas se comparan con las referidas en otros casos de trisomía parcial del cromosoma 1


We report the prenatal diagnosis of a case of partial trisomy of chromosome 1 (q25-qter) due to paternal translocation in a 31-year-old patient. Amniocentesis for chromosomal analysis was performed in the 16th week of pregnancy because ultrasound examination had revealed certain anomalies. A necropsy of the foetus was carried out and the anomalies found were compared with those in other cases of partial trisomy of chromosome 1

RESUMO

Non-enzymatic glycation of blood proteins is a time and concentration dependent process and has been used clinically to monitor carbohydrate metabolism during human pregnancy. Since gestation in rats is of much shorter duration than in humans (3 weeks vs 9 mos) the question was raised whether similar differences in glycated proteins could be observed. Therefore, levels of glucose, glycated hemoglobin and fructosamine were measured during normal pregnancy and lactation in rats. Glucose levels during late pregnancy were significantly lower than in non pregnant and early pregnant rats. During lactation glucose levels return to normal. Glycated hemoglobin paralleled glucose decrease during late pregnancy and increased during lactation. Fructosamine followed a similar pattern. Therefore glycated hemoglobin and fructosamine appear to be reliable indicators of glucose status during gestation and lactation similar to humans and may have value as predictors of gestational diabetes mellitus once a suitable rat model is developed

RESUMO

Se efectuó un estudio preliminar en una muestra de jubilados residentes en 4 municipios de Ciudad de La Habana, con el propósito de conocer las causas que motivaron el retiro, así como explorar el estado de salud que tenían antes de retirarse y el estado actual, tal y como ellos mismos lo evaluaron. Se seleccionaron al azar los municipios, y los casos finalmente entrevistados se escogieron de diferentes manzanas, cuando reunían las caracterísiticas de edad, sexo y situación de jubilado. Se entrevistó un totla de 111 sujetos; 54 mujeres y 57 hombres. Se describen algunas caracterísiticas demográficas y socioeconómicas tales como etnia, estado civil, nivel de escolaridad, ocupación anterior, hacinamiento e ingresos económicos. se encontró que más mujeres que hombresse retiraron por motivos de salud pero un mayor número declara sentirese bien después de retirados. Las enfermedades más frecuentes fueron: la artrosis, la artritis, la hipertensión, los trastornos circulatorios periféricos, las cardiopatías, la diabetes y la neurosis. Hay al parecer mayor incidencia de enfermedades cronicas en las mujeres. se exploraron también otros aspectos relacionados con el estado de salud como son, los hábitos nocivos, la ingestión de psicofármacos y la práctica de ejercicios físicos (AU)
