RESUMO

Introducción: El cáncer de páncreas mantiene un pronóstico ominoso a pesar de los avances en técnicas quirúrgicas y cuidados perioperatorios. Objetivo: Caracterizar los resultados del tratamiento aplicado a los pacientes con cáncer de páncreas. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal de una serie de 70 pacientes con diagnóstico de cáncer de páncreas. Se estudiaron las variables: localización, tamaño del tumor, procedimiento quirúrgico, estadificación preoperatoria, diagnóstico histológico, estancia hospitalaria, complicaciones posoperatorias y estado al egreso, mediante el análisis de frecuencias absolutas, relativas y la media así como la prueba de ji al cuadrado y el IC 95 por ciento. Resultados: El procedimiento quirúrgico más frecuente fue derivativo en 47 enfermos (67,1 por ciento). La operación de Whipple se realizó en 10 pacientes (14,3 por ciento) con tumores localizados en la cabeza del páncreas y la pancreatectomía corporocaudal en 11 (15,7 por ciento) con tumores de cuerpo y cola del páncreas. La mayoría correspondió a los estadios III y IV. El 47,1 por ciento de los pacientes presentó un adenocarcinoma poco diferenciado. La estadía fluctuó entre 15 y 30 días en el 54,3 por ciento de la serie. Las complicaciones se presentaron en 19 enfermos (27,1 por ciento). Fallecieron 15 pacientes (21,4 por ciento) del total. Conclusiones: El tratamiento debe ser individualizado mediante equipos multidisciplinarios, con protocolos de actuación uniformes en cada institución que permita realizar estudios multicéntricos, con el objetivo de obtener estadísticas propias en aras de disminuir la morbilidad y la mortalidad, así como aumentar la calidad de vida de estos pacientes(AU)


Introduction: Facial rhytidectomy is the technique for correcting facial aging features, but they are becoming increasingly complex due to the incorporation of deeper planes in the process. The superficial musculoaponeurotic system techniques have the advantage of providing a greater degree of naturalness and permanence in time. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the high-superficial musculoaponeurotic system technique for facial rejuvenation. Methods: A prospective and longitudinal case series study was carried out in the plastic surgery service of Hospital General Universitario "Vladimir Ilich Lenin" with patients who requested facial rejuvenation and were treated with the high-superficial musculoaponeurotic system technique, from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020. The variables age, sex, skin type, degree of aging, operative complications, patient satisfaction and aesthetic outcomes were studied. Results: The female sex predominated, together with the age group 50-59 years, the degrees of aging II and III, as well as white and light brown skin colors, while the most frequent operative complication was wound dehiscence of the suture line at the auricle root. The patients' satisfaction with the aesthetic outcomes of the surgical intervention was verified and the aesthetic outcomes was assessed as favorable in 100 percent of the cases for the used surgical technique. Conclusions: The high-superficial musculoaponeurotic system surgical technique for rhytidectomy offers harmonic, long-lasting outcomes with a low percentage of complications, making it a valuable alternative for patients(AU)

RESUMO

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected dentists globally, both financially and mentally. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practices of dentists in Caribbean countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A non-probability sample was obtained from dentists in more than ten different Caribbean countries. They were invited to complete a self-reported questionnaire, which was conducted from December 2020 to March 2021. Ethics approval was sought and an exemption was received from the UWI ethics committee. Results: One hundred and fifty-two dentists responded. More than one-third (38.8%) were in the >35­45 age group, and 58.6% were females. Most (84.9%) were general dentists and 75% were stressed by the COVID-19 situation with 80.9% being affected financially. The majority, 94.7%, believed that the highest risk of transmission of COVID-19 was via aerosol-generating procedures and 87.5% were worried about contracting it clinically. The majority (69.1%) were willing to receive the vaccine, the main reason reported for vaccine hesitancy was due to the possible side effects (35.3%). Most (75%) consumed alcohol. When the locus of control was determined, 54.6% felt they were in control of protecting themselves while 52% felt that external factors controlled their lives. Conclusions: The findings suggest that most dentists in the Caribbean were knowledgeable about COVID-19 and followed current guidelines in their practice and were willing to receive the vaccine.

RESUMO

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sudden halt in normal day-today movements & interactions across the world. Restrictive measures were implemented to lessen the spread of the virus, however, it altered social interactions. In times of stress, persons usually turn to social support for comfort. However, this pandemic has forced individuals to be isolated. Although the physical health of individuals has been addressed somewhat, their mental health has not been prioritized. Young adults in relationships were either isolated with or away from their partner, while single young adults were generally without a stable companion. With the impacts discovered from this research, new measures can be adopted in society & health facilities to mediate the harmful effects this pandemic caused & will cause on the mental health of young adults with respect to dating and relationships.

RESUMO

Telemedicine is an unexplored practice that has received advocacy due to technological advancement and social distancing regulations imposed due to Covid-19. According to the W.H.O1 50% of its member states have implemented a national telemedicine policy, stimulating the question "Why hasn't Trinidad and Tobago introduced a structured and stable telemedical service?" To investigate this, we target experienced physicians to understand the benefits and limitations of adapting telemedical technology into the current medical model. Utilization of Telemedicine in developing countries, like Trinidad and Tobago, is very promising as it can improve healthcare accessibility and elevate the quality of care for potential patients in rural areas

RESUMO

The School of Medicine at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of the West Indies (FMS, UWI) graduates over 200 physicians yearly. Shortage of specialists exists; attributed by some, to the lack of opportunities. Challenges faced regarding medical specialization in Trinidad and Tobago (TT) are difficulties meeting the requirements of the available specialty programmes, lack of residency post and training in certain fields (1). Medical school is an opportune time to select a field as experience as a student and progression through the various years of medical school can influence choice (2,3). METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted by convenience sampling on 1278 medical students at the FMS, UWI using an online questionnaire. The distribution of specialist practitioners was abstracted from the online register of The Medical Board of Trinidad and Tobago.
