Concepción didáctica del proceso formativo interdisciplinar de la habilidad diagnosticar enfermedades para residentes de Dermatología / Didactic Concept of the Interdisciplinary Formation Process of the Diagnostic Ability of Dermatology Residents

Fundamento: El estudio teórico, el diagnóstico realizado y la experiencia de los investigadores, posibilitan formular como problema de la presente investigación: limitaciones en el desarrollo de la habilidad diagnosticar enfermedades dermatológicas en los residentes de la especialidad de Dermatología del Hospital General Provincial Docente "Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola" de Ciego de Ávila. Objetivo: Elaborar una concepción didáctica del proceso de formación interdisciplinar de la habilidad diagnosticar enfermedades dermatológicas en los residentes de la especialidad de Dermatología, a partir de la caracterización del estado actual de esta habilidad. Metodología: Se realizó una investigación educativa con un componente descriptivo en el Hospital General Provincial Docente "Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola" de Ciego de Ávila, en los cursos escolares desde 2016 al 2020. La población de estudio fueron los 16 residentes de 1.er año que matricularon la especialidad de Dermatología en el período de estudio. Se emplearon métodos del nivel teórico y empírico. Resultados: La caracterización realizada reveló limitaciones en el desarrollo de la habilidad diagnosticar enfermedades dermatológicas en los laboratorios de Anatomía Patológica, Microbiología y Parasitología Médica, por los residentes (100 %). La concepción didáctica del proceso de formación interdisciplinar de la habilidad diagnosticar orienta el proceso desde las actividades docentes-atencionales y prácticas de laboratorio en una consecutividad lógica y sistematización desde las diferentes formas de enseñanza y tipologías de clase. Integra la interdisciplinariedad y la utilización del método investigativo establecido en las ideas rectoras. Conclusiones: La concepción didáctica como aporte de la investigación resuelve la contradicción dialéctica entre la aplicación del método clínico y los procedimientos en la práctica de laboratorio que se da en ese proceso formativo y constituye un soporte didáctico que respalda las actividades prácticas en los laboratorios para cumplir con los objetivos del Plan de estudio de la especialidad.

Background: The theoretical study, the diagnosis conducted and the experience of the researchers make possible to formulate the problem of the present research: limitations in the development of the ability to diagnose dermatological diseases in residents of the Specialty of Dermatology of the General Provincial Teaching Hospital "Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola" of Ciego de Avila. Objective: To elaborate a didactic conception of the interdisciplinary training process of the ability to diagnose dermatological diseases in residents of the specialty of Dermatology, based on the characterization of the current state of that ability. Methodology: An educational research with a descriptive component was conducted at the Provincial General Teaching Hospital "Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola" of Ciego de Avila, in the 2016-2020 school years. The study population consisted of the 16 first-year dermatology residents who enrolled in the specialty during the study period. Results: The characterization conducted showed limitations in the development of the ability to diagnose dermatological diseases in anatomic pathology laboratories, Microbiology and Medical Parasitology, by residents (100%). The didactic conception of the interdisciplinary training process of diagnostic ability focuses on teaching and learning activities and laboratory practices in a logical consecutiveness and systematization from the different forms of teaching and class typologies. It integrates the interdisciplinary and the use of the research method that is established in the guiding ideas. Conclusions: The didactic conception, as a research contribution, resolves the dialectic contradiction between the application of the clinical method and the procedures in laboratory practice that occurs in this formative process which is a didactic support that backs up the practical activities in the laboratories in order to achieve the objectives of the study plan of the specialty.

Embarazo ectópico cervical / Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy

El embarazo ectópico cervical representa alrededor de 0,1 por ciento de todos los embarazos ectópicos. La incidencia se estima en 1: 2500 a 1: 98,000 embarazos. Es un fenómeno extraño; sin embargo, la morbilidad y la mortalidad por esta causa son elevadas, pero pueden disminuirse con el diagnóstico temprano. Es extremadamente peligroso porque el trofoblasto puede alcanzar los vasos uterinos a través de la delgada pared cervical y provocar una hemorragia grave e incoercible que aun en la actualidad suele terminar en cirugías mutilantes que limitarán la reproducción futura. En la actualidad, no existen criterios claros en la bibliografía que ayuden a la toma de decisiones. Se reporta un caso de embarazo cervical tratado exitosamente mediante histerectomía total abdominal y posterior seguimiento en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. Se exponen algunos criterios que en el futuro podrían ayudar a diagnosticar esta entidad devastadora de forma oportuna para disminuir la morbimortalidad por esta causa y mejorar las posteriores posibilidades reproductivas de la mujer(AU)

Cervical ectopic pregnancy accounts for about 0.1 percent of all ectopic pregnancies. The incidence is estimated at 1: 2500 to 1: 98,000 pregnancies. It is a strange phenomenon; however, morbidity and mortality from this cause are high, but early diagnosis can help reducing. It is extremely dangerous because the trophoblast can reach the uterine vessels through the thin cervical wall and cause a severe and incoercible hemorrhage that, even today, usually ends in mutilating surgeries that will limit future reproduction. At present, no clear criteria in the literature help decision-making. We report a case of cervical pregnancy successfully treated by total abdominal hysterectomy and subsequent follow-up in the Intensive Care Unit. We present some criteria that could help timely diagnosing this devastating entity to reduce morbidity and mortality and improve the later reproductive possibilities of women(AU)

Diagnose of the ingestion of Asclepias mellodora St. Hil. by sheep through microhistological analysis of their digestive contents / Diagnose da ingestão de Asclepias mellodora St. Hil. por ovinos através da análise micro-histológica de seu conteúdo digestivo

Asclepias mellodora St. Hil. is a native acute toxic species frequent in the grasslands of the Buenos Aires province, Argentina, whose toxicity had not been assessed until now. This study evaluates the minimal lethal dose of this species for sheep, and the possibility of microscopically recognizing its fragments in gastrointestinal contents as a complementary diagnostic tool in necropsies. Three Frisona sheep (average LW=55±4.5 kg) were dosed via an esophageal tube with each one of the following doses of asclepias: 8.0, 5.0, 2.0 and 0.8 g DM.kg LW-1. Sheep poisoned with the three higher doses died between 10 and 85 h after intoxication, but those receiving the lower dose did not. During necropsies we: 1) determined the dry weight of the contents of rumen+reticulum, omasum+abomasum, and large intestine, 2) estimated the percentages of asclepias fragments by microanalysis correcting for digestion effects on fragment recognition, and 3) calculated the total mass of asclepias in the digestive tract of each animal. For the three higher doses, the mass of asclepias identified in the total ingesta was 12.3±3.4 percent of the amount supplied, possibly because of the strong diarrhea its ingestion produced. The percentages of asclepias in rumen+reticulum did not differ from the average quantified for the entire tract. The results of this study indicate that the minimal lethal doses of asclepias for sheep is between 2.0 and 0.8g DMÀkg LW-1, and that the microhistological analysis of the rumen+reticulum, the easiest region to sample, can be used to confirm the ingestion of this toxic species, although the estimated percentage will be not a good estimator of the ingested percentage.

Asclepias mellodora St. Hil. é uma espécie nativa de aguda toxicidade, frequente nos campos da província de Buenos Aires, Argentina. A sua toxicidade não foi avaliada até agora. Este estudo avalia a dose mínima letal desta espécie, para os ovinos, bem como a possibilidade de reconhecer microscopicamente seus fragmentos no conteúdo gastrointestinal como uma ferramenta complementar de diagnóstico em necropsias. Três ovinos Frisona (PV média = 55±4,5 kg) foram dosados através de uma sonda esofágica em cada uma das seguintes doses de Asclepias: 8,0, 5,0, 2,0 e 0,8 g DM.kg PV-1. Ovinos intoxicados com as três maiores doses morreram entre 10-85 h após a intoxicação, mas não aqueles que receberam a dose menor. Durante as necropsias se: 1) determinou o peso seco do conteúdo do rúmen + retículo, omaso + abomaso e intestino grosso, 2) estimou as porcentagens de fragmentos de Asclepias por microanálise, fazendo a correção para efeitos de digestão no reconhecimento dos fragmentos, e 3) calculou a massa total de Asclepias no trato digestivo de cada animal. Para as três doses maiores, a massa de Asclepias identificada na ingesta total foi de 12,3±3,4 por cento da quantidade fornecida, possivelmente por causa da forte diarréia produzida pela sua ingestão. As porcentagens de Asclepias no rúmen + retículo não diferiram da média quantificada para o trato completo. Os resultados deste estudo indicam que a dose letal mínima de Asclepias em ovinos é de entre 2,0 e 0,8 g kg PV ò DM-1, e que a análise micro-histológica do rúmen + retículo, a região mais fácil de amostrar, pode ser usada para confirmar a ingestão desta espécie tóxica, embora a percentagem estimada não será um bom estimador da porcentagem ingerida.
