RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This meta-analysis aimed at comparing obstetric and perinatal outcomes in laboratory-tested pregnant women for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection before delivering. METHOD: We performed a comprehensive systematic review of electronic databases for studies reporting pregnant women with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection, as determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) before delivery, during the pandemic period published up to June 25, 2021. Results are reported as mean difference (MD) or odds ratio (OR) and their 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS: Seventeen observational studies with low to moderate risk of bias, reported on 2,769 pregnant women with a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test and 13,807 with a negative test. Pregnant women with a positive PCR test delivered at an earlier gestational age (MD -0.19; 95% CI -0.36 to -0.02 weeks), smoked less (OR 0.75; 95% CI 0.61-0.94) and were associated with higher odds for preeclampsia (OR 1.30; 95% CI 1.09-1.54), NICU admissions (OR 2.37; 95% CI 1.18-4.76), stillbirths (OR 2.70; 95% CI, 1.38-5.29), and perinatal mortality (OR 3.23; 95% CI 1.23-8.52). There were no significant differences between positive and negative tested women in terms of nulliparity, multiple pregnancies, gestational diabetes, route of delivery, labor induction, preterm birth, infant birth weight, 5 min Apgar scores < 7, small-for-gestational-age infants and fetal malformations. Eleven studies included neonatal PCR SARS-CoV-2 testing which was performed on 129 infants, of which 20 were positive. CONCLUSION: Positive SARS-CoV-2 tested pregnant women had higher odds for preeclampsia/hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, NICU admissions, stillbirths and perinatal mortality.

RESUMO

Resumen OBJETIVO: Determinar si disminuyeron las urgencias ginecológicas y obstétricas atendidas en un hospital de tercer nivel durante el periodo de confinamiento domiciliario ocasionado por la pandemia de SARS CoV-2 y analizar a expensas de qué tipo de urgencias se produjo la disminución. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio retrospectivo y observacional efectuado en el Hospital Maternal del Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet del 15 de marzo al 15 de abril de 2019, 2020 y 2021. Se incluyeron todas las pacientes atendidas y se determinó el número absoluto de urgencias entre los diferentes periodos. Además, se analizaron las características de las pacientes atendidas con una comparación entre los tres periodos con χ2 de Pearson. RESULTADOS: Se atendieron menos de la mitad de las urgencias ginecoobstétricas que en el mismo periodo de los años anteriores y posteriores. La disminución fue, sobre todo, a expensas de pacientes mayores de 40 años, embarazadas y no embarazadas, con niveles de prioridad bajos según la priorización efectuada y que tuvieron como destino el alta a su domicilio. CONCLUSIONES: La situación de pandemia ocasionada por el SARS CoV-2 y las medidas de confinamiento domiciliario provocaron una disminución en la demanda de atención por parte de las pacientes obstétricas y ginecológicas.


Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there was a decrease in gynecological and obstetric emergencies attended in a tertiary hospital during the period of home confinement caused by the SARS CoV-2 pandemic and to analyze what type of emergencies caused the decrease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective and observational study performed at the Maternal Hospital of the Miguel Servet University Hospital from March 15 to April 15, 2019, 2020 and 2021. All patients attended were included and the absolute number of emergencies between the different periods was determined. In addition, the characteristics of the patients attended were analyzed with a comparison between the three periods with Pearson& s χ2. RESULTS: Fewer than half as many obstetric and gynecological emergencies were attended as in the same period of the previous and subsequent years. The decrease was mainly at the expense of patients older than 40 years, pregnant and non-pregnant, with low priority levels according to the prioritization performed and who had discharge home as their destination. CONCLUSIONS: The pandemic situation caused by SARS CoV-2 and home confinement measures led to a decrease in demand for care by obstetric and gynecologic patients.

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN: La filariasis con afectación mamaria es una enfermedad endémica de áreas tropicales y subtropicales de África, Asia, el Pacífico y América, que afecta a unos 120 millones de personas. Aunque es una patología rara en España, dado el aumento de pacientes procedentes de dichos países, debemos conocerla para saber diagnosticarla y tratarla adecuadamente. OBJETIVO DE REPORTAR EL CASO: Dar a conocer la filariasis con afectación mamaria, sus manifestaciones clínicas y radiológicas principales, a través de un caso clínico de nuestras consultas de ginecología. DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CASO: Paciente de 43 años, procedente de Guinea Ecuatorial que acude a la consulta de Ginecología por mastalgia bilateral y aumento del volumen de las mamas de semanas de evolución. La exploración es anodina por lo que se solicita mamografía bilateral en la que describen calcificaciones compatibles con filariasis. A pesar de que el resto de pruebas fueron negativas, dada la alta sospecha clínica y radiológica se diagnosticó de filariasis mamaria. CONCLUSIONES: A pesar de la actual campaña mundial para eliminar la filariasis, el aumento de migración global incrementa la probabilidad de padecer casos importados de filariasis mamaria. Por tanto, el conocimiento de las diferentes parasitosis es imprescindible para realizar un buen diagnóstico diferencial con otras entidades clínicamente similares, e instaurar el tratamiento más adecuado.


INTRODUCTION: Breast filariasis is an endemic disease from tropical and subtropical areas of Africa, Asia, the Pacific and America affecting about 120 million people. Although it is a rare pathology in Spain, given the increase in patients from the referred countries, we must be aware of it in order to know how to diagnose and treat it properly. OBJECTIVE OF REPORTING THE CASE: To raise awareness of filariasis with breast involvement and its main clinical and radiological manifestations, through a clinical case of our gynecology consultations. CASE REPORT: 43-year-old patient from Equatorial Guinea who comes to the Gynecology consultation for bilateral mastalgia and breast enlargement of weeks of evolution. The examination is anodyne, so bilateral mammography is requested in wich calcifications compatible with filariasis are described. Despite the rest of the tests are negative, given the high clinical and radiological suspicion, the diagnosis of breast filariasis is made. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the current worldwide campaign to eliminate filariasis, the increase in global migration enhances the probability of suffering from imported cases of breast filariasis Therefore, the knowledge of the different parasitoses is essential to make a correct differential diagnosis with other clinically similar entities, and to establish the most appropriate treatment.

RESUMO

Resumen: ANTECEDENTES: El liquen plano de vulva se manifiesta como una lesión erosiva, papuloeritematosa o hipertrófica aislada o con afectación extragenital concomitante. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 41 años, sin antecedentes médicos de interés, que acudió a consulta por la aparición de lesiones cutáneas pruriginosas de dos meses de evolución. A la exploración se objetivaron múltiples pápulas eritematoescamosas, violáceas, hiperqueratósicas, concomitantes con fenómeno de Koebner y tendencia a la agrupación, ubicadas en la cara anterior de los antebrazos y las muñecas, el dorso del pie y el tronco; en los pliegues inguinales, región vulvar y perianal, y de forma asintomática en el surco interlabial izquierdo, una pápula no pruriginosa de 3 mm, de tonalidad violácea con reticulado blanquecino en la superficie (estrías de Wickham), y otras dos pápulas de 11 y 3 mm. Se estableció el diagnóstico de liquen plano pápulo-escamoso vulvar, variante hipertrófica cutánea. Puesto que la enfermedad aparece de forma espontánea, se decidió el tratamiento expectante y para el prurito se indicaron antihistamínicos por vía oral. Seis semanas después desaparecieron las lesiones cutáneas (sin cambios cicatriciales). CONCLUSIONES: En pacientes con procesos dermatológicos complejos se requiere la correcta anamnesis y exploración ginecológica, sobre todo cuando hay afectación de las mucosas, para evitar el infradiagnóstico. La biopsia de las lesiones es útil en caso de duda, sobre todo en las lesiones vulvares aisladas de tipo hipertrófico.


Abstract: BACKGROUND: Vulvar lichen planus is a subtype of dermatological pathology that is presented as erosive, papulo-erythematous, or hypertrophic lesions on the vulva. This lesion could appear in isolation or with concomitant extragenital involvement. CASE REPORT: A 41-year-old patient with no previous history of interest, who attended due to the onset of itchy skin lesions of two months of evolution. At medical examination, multiple erythematous squamous, violaceous, hyperkeratotic papules were observed, with Koebner phenomenon and a tendency to cluster at the forearms and wrists, dorsum of the feet and trunk. The same lesions were seen in inguinal folds, vulvar and perianal region. We also notice an asymptomatic non-itchy 3 mm papule with violet edge in left labia majora (it had a whitish reticulate on the surface called Wickham's striae) and other erosive papules 11 mm and 3 mm respectively, with violet edge. No vaginal or other mucosal lesions were seen. Diagnosis of vulvar papule-squamous lichen planus was established which coexists with a cutaneous hypertrophic form. Given the self-limited nature of this pathology, a wait-and-see approach and symptomatic treatment of pruritus with oral antihistamines was adopted. Six weeks later, disappearance of the cutaneous lesion without cicatricial areas was observed. CONCLUSIONS: It is essential to carry out an anamnesis and gynecological examination in dermatological preocedures, especially when mucosas are involvement to avoid under-diagnosis. The biopsy of the lesions will be useful when there are doubts in the diagnosis, and it is essential in isolated hypertrophic vulvar lesions.

RESUMO

During their journey through the female reproductive tract to reach the oocyte in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, spermatozoa interact with substances and microorganisms that affect sperm quality, thus altering their fertilizing capacity. OBJECTIVES: To determine in vitro the effect of Streptococcus agalactiae, Klebsiella pneumoniae and their soluble factors on sperm parameters, and to evaluate the ability of human sperm to interact with and transport these bacteria. METHODS: The effects of S. agalactiae, K. pneumoniae and their soluble factors on the viability, sperm motility and functional sperm parameters were quantified. In addition, motile spermatozoa were incubated with decreasing concentrations of bacteria for one hour, washed and post-infection treatments were performed with trypsin and transport capacity was assessed by quantitative cultures. RESULTS: Incubation of spermatozoa with K. pneumoniae decreased progressive motility. The soluble factors of K. pneumoniae increased the number of necrotic spermatozoa and the soluble factors of S. agalactiae increased lipid peroxidation of the sperm membrane (p<0.05). A strong interaction between sperm and bacteria was observed in the transport assays even in washed trypsin-treated samples. CONCLUSION: Human spermatozoa act as vectors for infections, generating strong interactions with K. pneumoniae and S. agalactiae favoring their diffusion through the female reproductive tract. This interaction affects male fertility by altering progressive motility, increasing the number of necrotic cells and inducing apoptosis.

Adicionalmente, espermatozoides móviles fueron incubados con concentraciones decrecientes de bacterias durante una hora, se realizaron lavados y tratamientos post infección con tripsina y se evaluó la capacidad de transporte mediante cultivos cuantitativos.RESULTADOS: La incubación de los espermatozoides con K. pneumoniae ATCC 1705 disminuyó la movilidad espermática tipo I. Los factores solubles de K. pneumoniae ATCC 700603 aumentaron el número de espermatozoides necróticos mientras que los factores solubles de S. agalactiae aumentaron la lipoperoxidación de la membrana espermática (p<0,05). En los ensayos de transporte se observó una interacción fuerte entre los espermatozoides y las bacterias, incluso en las muestras tratadas con tripsina y lavados.CONCLUSIÓN: Los espermatozoides humanos sirven como vectores de infecciones, generan interacciones fuertes con K. pneumoniae y S. agalactiae, favoreciendo su difusión por el tracto reproductivo femenino. Esta interacción afecta la fertilidad masculina alterando la movilidad progresiva, aumentando el número de células necróticas y la apoptosis espermática.

RESUMO

Objective: To examine the reliability and validity of a new measure for family cancer and health communication and perception of cancer for college undergraduates, the Family Cancer and Health Communication Questionnaire (FCHCQ). Methods: Randomly selected undergraduates (N = 327) completed the FCHCQ online. Results: Results indicated nearing acceptability of reliability for the examining the constructs of family cancer and health communication and perception of cancer, including significant correlations among the constructs in the questionnaire. Validity was supported through confirmatory factor analysis which suggested the models fit the data for the constructs. Conclusions: This pilot study indicates support for the FCHCQ as a new instrument to measure the construct validity of family cancer and health communication and perception of cancer among college undergraduate students. These initial results provide a foundation for continued development and analysis of the FCHCQ for use among college undergraduate students. The findings will lead to the expansion of the FCHCQ for use among various groups and the general population. Through further investigation, this questionnaire may indicate barriers and facilitators of cancer and overall health communication within families with the intent to develop interventions for increasing communication. Thus, increasing awareness of familial risks for hereditary and genetic diseases.

RESUMO

Given its obvious prognostic implications, the correct interpretation of the significance of any residual mediastinal mass following Hodgkin's disease (HD) treatment keeps maintaining its paramount importance. In this respect, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) is proving very effective for both active disease detection and relapse prediction. Twenty-nine consecutive HD patients, in whom computed tomography (CT) scan performed after therapy completion had documented a residual mediatinal mass of at least 2 cm, prospectively entered the study and underwent PET within 1 week from CT scan. With a median follow-up of 28 months from PET execution, no relapse was recorded among the 17 patients presenting with a negative PET. On the contrary, 9 of the 12 patients presenting with a positive PET relapsed/progressed within one year from PET execution. PET's negative and positive predictive values at 1 year were 100% and 75%, respectively. A negative PET seems to possibly exclude relapse in HD patient with a residual mediastinal mass. On the contrary, a positive PET result indicates a significantly higher risk of relapse. However, due to possible false positive results, a closer follow-up for all and a pathologic study in few selected patients is warranted.

Se diagnosticaron 183 pacientes con AHAC, 125 adultos y 58 ni¤os, en el Instituto de Hematolog¡a e Inmunolog¡a de Ciudad de La Habana, Cuba, entre enero de 1990 y septiembre de 1999. La presencia de IgG y de C3 en los hemat¡es fue el patr¢n más com£n y en menores frecuencias se observaron autoanticuerpos de los isotipos IgA e IgM. Se encontr¢ un incremento significativo del patron C3 en los ni¤os en relaci¢n con los adultos y en los ni¤os con AHAC idiopática con respecto a los de AHAC secundaria. En los pacientes con hem¢lisis grave predominaron las combinaciones de IgG y C3 asociado a IgA e IgM. Se detect¢ un 15 por ciento y un 3 por ciento de aloinmunizaci¢n eritrocitaria en los pacientes adultos y pediátricos, respectivamente. No se demostraron diferencias en los patrones de inmunoprote¡nas en los hemat¡es entre los pacientes adultos y pediátricos, excepto un aumento de la frecuencia del patr¢n C3 en estos £ltimos. La hem¢lisis grave se asoci¢ a la presencia de m£ltiples clases de autoanticuerpos.
