A novel presentation of idiopathic adulthood ductopenia (IAD) in a young man

A 24-years-old male patient was admitted to our institution for intermittent jaundice, fatigue, anorexia and dark urine which occurred six times in the past 8 years (twice in 2019). Liver function test showed elevated levels of bilirubin and liver enzymes. He had no fever, vomiting, abdominal pain or diarrhea, and denied special medication, heredity or family history. He drank alcohol occasionally. (AU)

Bronchial-biliary fistula secondary to cholangiocarcinoma: long-term efficacy of biliary self-expandable metal stent

A 77-year-old female with previous medical history of non-cirrhotic chronic hepatitis B and hepatocellular carcinoma treated with sequential partial hepatectomy followed by transarterial chemoembolization complained of pruritus and jaundice. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed a peri-hilar ill-defined stenosing lesion suggestive of malignancy. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with cholangioscopy confirmed a circumferential peri-hilar stenosis with fragile mucosa and tortuous dilated vessels and biopsies of this area were consistent cholangiocarcinoma. After 3 months, she presented with new-onset dyspnea and bilioptysis and abdominal computed tomography revealed a bronchial-biliary fistula. ERCP was performed to place a self-expandable metal stent in the biliary tract, which resulted in rapid clinical improvement. The patient has been followed for 2 years and remains globally stable with two episodes of worsening of bilioptysis secondary to stent obstruction by lithiasis that were easily resolved with Fogarty balloon-assisted extraction, with rapid improvement. This case demonstrates the long-term efficacy of endoscopic biliary drainage with self-expandable metallic stent for bronchial-biliary fistula in the setting of cholangiocarcinoma. (AU)

Quiste de colédoco: nunca bajar la guardia / Choledocal cyst: never let your guard down

El quiste del colédoco es una dilatación congénita de la vía biliar. La presentación clínica es inespecífica y a menudo supone un dilema diagnóstico. Se debe tener un elevado índice de sospecha ante casos de ictericia, dolor abdominal y masa abdominal palpable. Para su diagnóstico es fundamental un estudio de imagen, siendo el indicado de forma inicial la ecografía. Pueden presentar múltiples complicaciones, incluyendo colangitis, pancreatitis, colangiocarcinoma, cirrosis biliar y hepática. Para su manejo se recomienda la resección del quiste, para evitar complicaciones y disminuir el riesgo de malignización. Se recomienda un seguimiento a largo plazo, con ecografías y análisis anuales, dado que el riesgo de malignización se mantiene elevado incluso tras la escisión del quiste. El abordaje óptimo de esta patología requiere un enfoque multidisciplinar, desde la sospecha diagnóstica que a menudo procederá de los servicios de Atención Primaria, incluyendo también gastroenterólogos, cirujanos, patólogos y radiólogos (AU)

Bile duct cyst is a congenital dilation of the bile duct. Clinical presentation is non-specific and often poses a diagnostic dilemma. It should be highly suspected in cases of jaundice, abdominal pain and a palpable abdominal mass. An imaging study is essential for diagnosis, an ultrasound being the most suitable initially. It can present multiple complications, including cholangitis, pancreatitis, cholangiocarcinoma, biliary and hepatic cirrhosis. For its management, resection of the cyst is recommended to avoid complications and reduce the risk of malignancy. Long-term follow-up with annual ultrasound scans and tests is recommended, as the risk of malignancy remains high even after excision of the cyst. The optimal approach to this pathology requires a multidisciplinary perspective, starting from the diagnostic suspicion that will often come from Primary Care services, and including also gastroenterologists, surgeons, pathologists and radiologists (AU)

Implementación de un programa de corta estancia hospitalaria maternoinfantil / Early post-partum discharge program in a maternity unit

Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio fue analizar el perfil sociodemográfico y obstétrico, así como la incidencia de consultas y reingresos, de las mujeres acogidas a un programa de corta estancia puerperal en el hospital del estudio. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de las variables relativas al perfil sociodemográfico, el embarazo, el parto y el puerperio de las mujeres con parto vaginal y alta precoz antes de 48 horas en el Hospital del Mar (Barcelona), desde junio de 2017 a junio de 2019. Resultados: 188 mujeres (un 8,2% del total de partos vaginales) se acogieron a la corta estancia hospitalaria durante el periodo de estudio. El 53,7% (n= 101) eran de nacionalidad española, y el resto eran de 32 nacionalidades distintas más. El 74,5% (n= 140) habían tenido uno o más partos previos, y el 84,6% (159) eran gestantes sin riesgo. El 95,7% de las mujeres (n= 180) tuvieron partos eutócicos. Un 7% (n= 13) de mujeres tuvieron que consultar en el hospital durante la primera semana después del alta por diferentes motivos. Tuvieron que consultar e ingresar un 2,1% (n= 4) de los neonatos con alta precoz, todos ellos por ictericia. No hubo ningún reingreso materno. Conclusiones: El perfil de mujeres que se acogen al programa de alta precoz en el centro del estudio son gestantes de bajo riesgo y presentan menos complicaciones en el parto que el resto de la población. No hubo más complicaciones o readmisiones hospitalarias en las mujeres con alta precoz respecto al global de los partos del centro del estudio. La implementación de un programa de corta estancia puerperal en nuestra institución es un procedimiento seguro, pero aceptado por un perfil de mujeres específico. (AU)

Objective: The objective of the study is to analyze the different mothers and newborns profiles who attend this program, and to analyze the different readmission rates comparing to the overall population that come for the usual childbirth in the hospital. Methodology: A descriptive study was performed, analyzing socio-demographic, obstetrical and partum and post-partum outcomes in women who attended to an early post-partum discharge before 48h after a vaginal delivery in Hospital del Mar (Barcelona), from June 2017 to June 2019. Results: 188 women (8.2% of total of vaginal deliveries) had the early post-partum discharge, 53.7% (n= 101) were Spanish women, 74.5% (n= 140) of women had already children, and 84.6% (n= 159) had no obstetrical risk factors. 95.7% (n= 180) women had eutocic deliveries, 7% (n= 13) of mother had to readmission to the hospital after the early discharge during the first week. There was only a 2.1% (n= 4) of newborns with early discharge that need to readmission; all of them because of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Conclusions: Most of women who attend to an early post-partum discharge are low risk pregnancies and deliveries. There are no higher mother readmission rates respect to the overall population. The implementation of an early post-partum discharge in the maternity unit in the institution is a safe process, but still accepted by a specific maternal profile of women. (AU)

The effect of breastfeeding on body temperature, body weight, and jaundice of 0–72 h old infants

Objective: The research aimed to determine the effect of breastfeeding on body temperature, body weight, and jaundice of 0–72 h-old infants in Sitti Khadijah I Mother and Child Hospital of Makassar. Method: The research was an observational longitudinal design. The samples were breastfeeding mothers and 0–72 h-old newborn infants consisting of 70 people selected using the purposive sampling method. The data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Result: The result of the research indicated that there are 29 respondents (41.4%) giving exclusive breastfeeding with infants normal body temperature 29 people (100%), decreasing body weight 28 people (96.6%), and no jaundice 29 people (100%), while the respondents who do not give breastfeeding consist of 41 people (58.6%) with body temperature undergoing hyperthermia one respondent (2.4%), increasing body weight three people (7.3%) and jaundice four people (9.8%). Conclusion: There is an effect of giving breastfeeding on body temperature (p = 0.016), but there is no effect on body weight (p = 0.168) and jaundice (p = 0.083) of 0–72 h-old infants. (AU)
