RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Recent clinical guidelines suggest that treatment of postoperative anaemia in colorectal cancer surgery with intravenous iron reduces transfusion requirements and improves outcomes. The study aimed at comparing two intravenous iron regimens in anaemic patients after colorectal cancer surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a single-centre, open-label, randomised, controlled trial in patients undergoing elective colorectal cancer surgery. Patients with moderate to severe anaemia (haemoglobin [Hb] <11 g/dL) after surgery were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive ferric carboxymaltose (FC; 1,000 mg, single dose) or iron sucrose (IS; 200 mg every 48 hours until covering the total iron deficit or discharge). Randomisation was stratified by Hb level: <10 g/dL (Group A) or ≥10-10.9 (Group B). The primary endpoint was the change in Hb concentration at postoperative day 30. Secondary endpoints included iron status parameters, transfusion requirements, complications, and length of hospital stay. RESULTS: From September 2015 to May 2018, 104 patients were randomised (FC 50, IS 54). The median intravenous iron dose was 1,000 mg and 600 mg in the FC and IS groups, respectively. There were no between-group differences in mean change in Hb from postoperative day 1 to postoperative day 30 (FC: 2.5 g/dL, 95% CI: 2.1-2.9; IS: 2.4 g/dL, 95% CI: 2.0-2.8; p=0.52), in transfusion requirements or length of stay. The infection rate was lower in the FC group compared with the IS group (9.8% vs 37.2%, respectively). DISCUSSION: The administration of approximately 500 mg of IS resulted in an increase in Hb at postoperative day 30 similar to that of 1,000 mg of FC, but it was associated with a higher infection rate. Future research will be needed to confirm the results, and to choose the best regime in terms of effectiveness and side effects to treat postoperative anaemia in colorectal cancer patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) improves the survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intermediate stage [i.e. Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer-B (BCLC-B)]. The aim of our study was to analyse the overall survival (OS) and prognostic factors of patients with HCC treated with DEB-TACE. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients' clinical course was recorded from January 2005 to July 2014. The median OS was obtained by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. The prognosis factors associated with OS were determined by a multivariate Cox regression analysis and the accuracy of the OS prediction was determined by calculation of the assessment for retreatment with TACE score (ART score). RESULTS: A cohort of 147 consecutive patients treated with DEB-TACE was included. Median age of the patients was 73.4 years. Overall, 68.7% were men, and all had cirrhosis, with 68.8% being hepatisis C virus positive. Moreover, 35.2% were staged as BCLC-A and 60.2% as BCLC-B. After a median follow-up of 19.2 months, 29.3% were alive, 4.3% needed treatment with sorafenib and 56.1% underwent DEB-TACE retreatment. Median OS was 22.8 [95% confidence interval (CI)=19.6-25.9]. After censoring for ascites and more than one nodule, OS was 23.87 (95% CI =20.72-27.01) and 26.89 (95% CI =21.00-32.78), respectively. The risk of death decreased by 22.3% with the number of DEB-TACE sessions (hazard ratio=0.777) and increased by 25.9% with higher Child-Pugh score (hazard ratio=1.259). Overall, 61.2% of the cohort had an ART score between 0 and 1.5. There were no statistical differences in OS between cohort groups with ART of 0-1.5 and at least 2.5. CONCLUSION: The results validate the efficacy and safety of DEB-TACE in patients with HCC and the importance of some prognostic factors for patient survival.

RESUMO

Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sobre los aspectos que comprende la confección de una historia clínica, tanto convencional como homeopática. Aunque ambos documentos tienen como fin recoger los datos objetivos proporcionados por el paciente, así como los subjetivos, obtenidos de los exámenes físico y complementario, difieren en cuanto a los síntomas utilizados para el diagnóstico, por lo cual se considera oportuno complementar los criterios al evaluar al paciente desde el punto de vista holístico


A literature review on the aspects involved in making either a conventional or homeopathic medical record was carried out. Although both aim at collecting the objective data provided by the patient, as well as the subjective ones, obtained from the physical and complementary exams, they differ as for the symptoms used for the diagnosis, reason why it is convenient to supplement the approaches when evaluating the patient from the holistic point of view

RESUMO

El trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad constituye un modelo persistente o continuo de inatención y/o hiperactividad e impulsividad, que impide las actividades diarias o el desarrollo típico, pues provoca dificultades para mantener la atención, la función ejecutiva y la memoria de trabajo. Por su repercusión tanto en niños como en adultos, en la actualidad resulta un tema de gran interés sobre el cual se efectúan muchos estudios a nivel mundial. En este artículo se abordan aspectos importantes relacionados con la etiopatogenia de dicho síndrome y los diferentes tratamientos empleados para paliarlo; asimismo se ofrece información acerca de las morbilidades asociadas y los enfoques conceptuales que se evidencian en los sistemas de clasificación internacionales.


The disorder due to lack of attention and hyperactivity constitutes a persistent or continuous model of inattention and/or hyperactivity and impulsiveness that hinders the daily activities or the typical development, because it causes difficulties to keep the attention, the executive function and the work memory. For their repercussion either in children or in adults, at the present time it is a topic of great interest on which many studies are made worldwide. In this work important aspects related to the etiopathogenesis of this syndrome are approached and the different treatments used to palliate it; also some information about the associated morbidities and the conceptual approaches that are evidenced in the international classification systems are offered.

RESUMO

El estudio de estabilidad del aceite microencapsulado y sin microencapsular se realizó por el método de vida de estante a las temperaturas de 2-8 °C, y temperatura ambiente, respectivamente, durante doce meses. Los parámetros analizados al pool de aceite fueron: características organolépticas, índice de acidez, peróxido, saponificación, contenido de vitamina A y conteo microbiológico. Mientras que al aceite microencapsulado se le evaluaron las características organolépticas, la eficiencia de encapsulación, contenido de humedad, aceite superficial, contenido de vitamina A y conteo microbiológico. Los resultados evidenciaron una disminución superior al 5% en el contenido de vitamina A en el aceite sin microencapsular, a diferencia del aceite microencapsulado. Se logró el enmascaramiento del olor intenso a pescado, y los restantes parámetros evaluados se encontraron dentro de los límites establecidos. El aceite de hígado de tiburón microencapsulado resultó estable física, química y microbiológicamente por doce meses, mientras que el aceite sin microencapsular solo seis meses. El proceso de microencapsulación no solo mejoró sus características organolépticas, sino también favoreció su estabilidad lográndose un mayor período de vida útil.


A stability study was carried out for microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated oil by applying the shelf-life method at temperature ranges of 2 to 8 °C, and ambient temperature, respectively, for a period of 12 months. The analyzed parameters in the case of pool oil were: organoleptic characteristics, acidity index, peroxide, saponification, vitamin-A content and microbiological count. For microencapsulated oil, the following parameters were evaluated: organoleptic characteristics, capsulation efficiency, humidity content, superficial oil, vitamin-A content and microbiological count. The stability study for non-microencapsulated oil proved that there was a decrease of over 5% in vitamin-A content, when compared to microencapsulated oil. The intense fish smell was properly masked and the remaining evaluated parameters were within established limits. Microencapsulated shark liver oil turned out to be physically, chemically and microbiologically stable for a period of 12 months, while non-microencapsulated oil remained stable for only 6 months. The microencapsulation process not only improved the oil´s organoleptic characteristics, but it also made it more stable, allowing for a longer shelf life.

RESUMO

Se realizó un estudio experimental, de tipo intervención terapéutica, con la aplicación de auriculoterapia y quinesioterapia a 60 pacientes adultos hipertensos que asistían al área terapéutica del Centro Provincial de Medicina Deportiva en Santiago de Cuba durante el primer semestre de 2011. Evolutivamente se pudo demostrar la mayor eficacia de la combinación de ambas terapias en comparación con el uso de la segunda sola como coadyuvantes del tratamiento convencional, pues no se presentaron complicaciones con su empleo. Entre otras ventajas figuró la disminución del consumo de fármacos antihipertensivos en la mayoría de los integrantes de la casuística, con lo cual redujeron sus gastos por ese concepto.


An experimental study of therapeutic intervention type was carried out, with the auriculotherapy and kinesiotherapy application to 60 adult hypertensive patients who attended the therapeutic area of the Provincial Centre of Sport Medicine in Santiago de Cuba during the first semester of 2011. The higher evolutive effectiveness with the combination of both therapies could be demonstrated in comparison with the use of the second one alone, as adjuvant therapies of the conventional treatment, as complications were not present with their use. Among other advantages there was the decrease in the use of antihypertensive drugs in most of the members of the case material, which reduced their expenses due to it.

Se llevó a cabo un ensayo clínico para el diagnóstico de la litiasis vesicular mediante el microsistema de oreja en 110 pacientes ingresados en los Servicios de Cirugía y Medicina Interna del Hospital General Docente Dr Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso de Santiago de Cuba, a fin de evaluar la eficacia del método tradicional. Los principales signos estuvieron dados por manchas blancas en el punto de vesícula biliar en ambas orejas y nódulos en la parte posterior de la concha de la oreja derecha. Se concluyó que este es un procedimiento eficaz, por lo cual es necesario generalizarlo, para de esta manera favorecer la calidad de atención a los pacientes y garantizar la base científica de su aplicación.


A clinical trial for the diagnosis of the vesicular lithiasis was carried out by means of the ear microsystem in 110 patients admitted in the Surgery and Internal Medicine Services of Dr Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the traditional method. The main signs were white stains in the billiary vesicle site in both ears and nodules, in the back part of the right ear shell. The conclusion was that this it is an effective procedure, thus it is necessary to generalize it, so as to favor the quality of care to the patients and to guarantee the scientific base of its application.

RESUMO

Los pacientes graves son enfermos en los cuales se presentan dificultades para la obtención del consentimiento informado. Por un lado tienen tendencia a sufrir muchos procedimientos invasores, incluso de soporte vital, y por otro la naturaleza de su enfermedad o su tratamiento los limita de participar en el proceso de consentimiento en ocasiones, a fin de caracterizar el comportamiento del proceso de toma de decisiones asistenciales en el paciente crítico en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, se realizó un estudio prospectivo, longitudinal y de intervención, en el cual se estudiaron dos cohortes consecutivas de pacientes (280 cada una). Se registraron todas las decisiones asistenciales y procedimientos realizados en el primer periodo y la toma de decisiones alegórica al consentimiento informado e implicado. En un segundo período de intervención, con técnicas estratégicas especializadas, se solicitó a pacientes (que tuviesen puntaje inferior a 50 puntos en la escala de Karnofsky), a familiares y allegados su consentimiento informado y se volvió a registrar el número de procedimientos y de consentimientos informados individuales obtenidos. Siempre que pudo ser posible, se le consultó el procedimiento a realizar al paciente y las acciones médicas y de enfermería. Cuando esto no fue posible, se tomó el criterio del familiar o allegado competente. En tercera instancia, se tomó el criterio del consenso absoluto de todo el equipo asistencial de trabajo, el consentimiento implicado. Se obtuvo un trànsito en el protagonismo de las decisiones asistenciales en el paciente crítico, donde inicialmente primaba casi absolutamente el consentimiento implicado para pasar al consentimiento informado de pacientes y familiares. Ademàs se incrementó en la medida de lo posible la participación de los pacientes graves y familiares al proceso asistencial. Las enfermedades cardiovasculares agudas fueron las situaciones clínicas que permitieron màs autonomía en el consentimiento informado, y la falla múltiple de órganos donde el consentimiento implicado predominó(AU)


Serious patients are ill people in which there are difficulties to obtain the informed consent. On the one hand they have a trend to underwent many invasive procedures, even of vital support, and by the other hand, the origin of its disease or its treatment limit them to participate sometimes in the consent process to characterize the behavior of healthcare decision-making in critical patient in Intensive Care Unit, thus we conducted a prospective, longitudinal and interventional study to study two consecutive cohorts of patients (280 each). All healthcare assistances and procedures carried out during the first period and the decision-making related to informed and implicated consent. During a second intervention period using specialized techniques we requested to patients (with a score under 50 points in Karnofsky scale), family and relatives the informed consent and the procedures number and of individual informed consent was registered again obtained. As much as we can the procedure to be performed was asked patient about the procedure and the medical and nursing actions. When it was not possible, we considered the family or competent relatives criterion. In third case, we took the absolute consensus criterion of all the working healthcare staff, the implicated consent. A transit in leading role of healthcare decisions in critical patient was obtained where initially the implicated consent was a almost absolute priority to pass to the informed consent of patients and relatives. Also, as much as it was possible the participation of critical patients and relatives in healthcare process was increased. Acute cardiovascular diseases were the clinical situations allowed more autonomy in informed consent and the failure of multiple organs where the implicated consent was predominant(AU)
