RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The use of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) among cancer patients varies greatly. The available data suggest an increasing use of CAM over time and a higher prevalence in low- and middle-income countries. However, no reliable data are available from Latin America. Accordingly, we examined the prevalence of CAM use among cancer patients from six Colombian regions. METHODS: We conducted a survey on cancer patients attending comprehensive cancer centres in six capital cities from different regions. The survey was designed based on a literature review and information gathered through focus groups on CAM terminology in Colombia. Independent random samples of patients from two comprehensive cancer centres in every city were obtained. Patients 18 years and older with a histopathological diagnosis of cancer undergoing active treatment were eligible. The prevalence of CAM use is reported as a percentage with the corresponding confidence interval. CAM types are reported by region. The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of CAM users and non-users were compared using Chi square and t tests. RESULTS: In total, 3117 patients were recruited. The average age 59.6 years old, and 62.8% were female. The prevalence of CAM use was 51.7%, and compared to non-users, CAM users were younger, more frequently women, affiliated with the health insurance plan for low-income populations and non-Catholic. We found no differences regarding the clinical stage or treatment modality, but CAM users reported more treatment-related side effects. The most frequent types of CAM were herbal products, specific foods and vitamins, and individually, soursop was the most frequently used product. Relevant variability between regions was observed regarding the prevalence and type of CAM used (range: 36.6% to 66.7%). The most frequent reason for using CAM was symptom management (30.5%), followed by curative purposes (19.5%). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of CAM use among cancer patients in Colombia is high in general, and variations between regions might be related to differences in cultural backgrounds and access to comprehensive cancer care. The most frequently used CAM products and practices have little scientific support, suggesting the need to enhance integrative oncology research in the country.

RESUMO

The Adams-Oliver syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp, terminal transverse limb defects, and congenital telangiectatic cutis marmorata. It can occur through different inheritance patterns: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or de novo dominant mutations. Although the Adams-Oliver syndrome is a rare disease, it is essential to know its clinical characteristics and inheritance patterns, to establish a correct diagnosis and its possible complications during follow-up. In the present study, we describe the case of an adolescent with Adams-Oliver syndrome with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, pulmonary hypertension and plastic bronchitis, and several compromised family members.


El síndrome de Adams-Oliver es un trastorno congénito raro, caracterizado por aplasia cutis congénita en el cuero cabelludo, defectos terminales transversales de las extremidades y piel marmorata telangiectásica congénita. Este puede presentarse debido a diferentes patrones de herencia de tipo autosómico dominante o autosómico recesivo, o por mutaciones dominantes de novo. Aunque el síndrome de Adams-Oliver es una enfermedad poco frecuente, es importante conocer sus características clínicas y patrones de herencia, para así establecer un correcto diagnóstico y sus posibles complicaciones durante el seguimiento. En el presente estudio, se describe el caso de una adolescente con síndrome de Adams-Oliver con patrón de herencia autosómica dominante, hipertensión pulmonar y bronquitis plástica. Había varios miembros de su familia con el mismo compromiso.

RESUMO

Introducción: el uso de medicinas alternativas y complementarias (MAC) por pacientes oncológicos es una práctica extendida, generalmente por fuera del tratamiento principal. La falta de entendimiento entre percepciones de pacientes y profesionales puede derivar en problemas de comunicación con repercusión negativa en el cuidado. Objetivo: indagar por coincidencias y divergencias en la percepción de pacientes y profesionales frente al uso de MAC en el paciente oncológico. Métodos: estudio exploratorio con análisis interpretativo fenomenológico mediante grupos focales, usando dominios prestablecidos. Se realizó codificación manual independiente y, posteriormente, se agruparon los códigos para su interpretación. El agrupamiento fue triangulado con el equipo de investigación para generar categorías definitivas. Resultados: surgieron dos categorías: conceptualización y vivencia frente a MAC. Cada categoría incluye subcategorías similares (p. ej., denominaciones, uso de MAC) y diferenciales (p. ej. valoración, fundamentación), entre los dos grupos. La conceptualización reconoce cómo los participantes caracterizan la MAC y la vivencia identifica la forma y vías como se relacionan con la MAC. Conclusiones: pacientes y profesionales comparten inquietudes frente al uso de MAC, pero existen diferencias en lenguaje y expectativas frente a su uso. Para los pacientes el consejo médico es relevante pero no definitivo y la evidencia científica solo es relevante para los profesionales.

RESUMO

Resumen Este documento analiza la Teoría del capital humano y sus consecuencias en la gestión humana, donde cobran relevancia los planteamientos de Foucault y sus análisis de las formas de gobernar a sujetos y poblaciones, que interesan al estudio de las organizaciones. La presente revisión surge de la preocupación por discursos convertidos en mandatos en el mundo empresarial que plantean retos y objetivos a las empresas y las áreas de gestión humana, sin que se visibilicen los aportes críticos surgidos en el ámbito académico que establecen los riesgos de seguir trabajando desde miradas reduccionistas y pragmáticas, donde los sujetos son asumidos como absolutos responsables de sus éxitos, en un ámbito donde pareciera innecesaria la construcción de sentidos de comunidad.


Abstract The present document analyzes the theory of human capital and its consequences in the human management, where Foucault's approaches are relevant and his analysis of forms of governing resulting in new studies of organizations. The inspiration for this article came from the concern that the elevated discussions of chain of command in the business world would incorrectly identify the challenges and objectives for the businesses and for the areas of human management, without considering the suggestions from the academic world that establishes the risks of working only from the pragmatic point of view. From this point, the subjects are assumed as absolute responsibilities of their successes, where in the business world it appears unnecessary to create a sense of community.

RESUMO

La leucemia/linfoma de células T del adulto ( Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma , ATLL) es una neoplasia maligna de los linfocitos T CD4 maduros, que resulta de la infección con el virus T-linfotrópico humano de tipo 1 (HTLV-1), con varias manifestaciones sistémicas y cutáneas. Se presentan dos casos de leucemia/linfoma de células T del adulto en pacientes del suroccidente de Colombia, cuyos diagnósticos fueron confirmados por histología, inmunohistoquímica, citometría de flujo y pruebas ELISA y Western blot. También, se discute acerca del virus y cómo hacer el diagnóstico en países como el nuestro.


Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a malignant neoplasia of mature CD4+ T lymphocytes,resulting from infection with human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), with several systemic and cutaneous manifestations. We present two cases of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, in patients from the Colombian Southwestern region, whose diagnoses were confirmed by histology, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, ELISA and Western blot tests. We also discuss about the virus and how to make this diagnosis in countries like Colombia.

RESUMO

Introducción. La mutación de la hemoglobina S (HbS) va acompañada por otras mutaciones en la región del cromosoma 11, conocida como conjunto de la globina beta(beta globin cluster). El patrón de combinación de estos polimorfismos da lugar a los haplotipos que se heredan junto con la mutación de la hemoglobina S, se denominan haplotipos de la mutación bs y revisten gran importancia epidemiológica y clínica. Objetivo. Determinar la frecuencia de los principales haplotipos asociados al gen HBB en pacientes colombianos heterocigotos para hemoglobina S. Materiales y métodos. En la Clínica Colsanitas se han estudiado a la fecha 1.200 muestras de sangre periférica de niños en busca de hemoglobinopatías, y se ha encontrado el rasgo falciforme como la hemoglobinopatía más frecuente. Se determinaron los haplotipos del gen HBB que presentaron la mutación beta-S en 33 niños con patrón electroforético de hemoglobina AS, mediante reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) y enzimas de restricción. Se determinaron el patrón electroforético de la hemoglobina, el nivel de hemoglobina fetal y los parámetros hematológicos de cada individuo. Resultados. Los haplotipos de la hemoglobina S encontrados con mayor frecuencia en la muestra analizada son de origen africano y su orden de aparición fue mayor para el haplotipo Bantú (36,4 %), seguido por Senegal (30,3 %), Benín (21,2 %) y Camerún (12,1 %). La electroforesis de hemoglobina confirmó el fenotipo AS; la dosificación de hemoglobina fetal mostró niveles por debajo de 1 % y los parámetros hematológicos analizados mostraron valores normales en el 100 % de los individuos. Conclusión. Los haplotipos de la HbS encontrados con mayor frecuencia en la muestra estudiada eran de origen africano y su distribución variaba de acuerdo con el lugar de prodedencia del individuo. La mayor frecuencia correspodió al haplotipo Bantú.


Introduction. The hemoglobin S (HbS) mutation is accompanied by other mutations in the region of chromosome 11 known as "beta globin cluster". The pattern of combination of these polymorphisms giving rise to the haplotypes that co-inherit the HbS mutation, are called haplotypes bs, and are of great epidemiological and clinical significance. Objective. The frequencies of major haplotypes associated with S beta-globin gene was determined in Colombian patients heterozygous for hemoglobin S. Materials and methods. As part of the national neonatal screening program at Clínica Colsanitas, located in major cities of Colombia, nearly 1,200 children from different areas of the country were examined for hemoglobinopathies. The sickle cell trait was identified as the most common. S beta-globin gene haplotypes were determined by PCR and restriction enzymes in 33 children with AS hemoglobin electrophoretic patterns (carrier state). In addition, electrophoretic patterns of hemoglobin, fetal hemoglobin levels and hematologic parameters of each individual were identified. Results. The most frequent haplotypes in Colombia were the Bantú haplotype (36.4 %), followed by Senegal (30.3 %), Benin (21.2 %) and Cameroon (12.1 %) haplotypes. Hemoglobin electrophoresis confirmed the AS phenotype in all patients, and fetal hemoglobin levels below 1%. Other hematological parameters were normal in all cases. Conclusion. The HbS haplotypes found more frequently in the sample were of African origin, and their distribution varied according to the place of origin of the individual. The most frequent corresponded to the Bantu haplotype.

RESUMO

Chest wall mesenchymal hamartoma is an extremely rare benign tumor. Approximately 80 cases have been reported in the literature. Most tumors are manifested at birth with a painless palpable mass of the chest wall, usually unilateral. Respiratory symptoms result from extrinsic compression of the pulmonary parenchyma, and the severity of the symptoms will depend on the size and location of the lesion. Imaging features are characteristic, but definitive diagnosis is histological. Herein, a case is described of a four month old infant with diagnosis of chest wall mesenchymal hamartoma, manifested at birth. Different treatment options are described, including expectations from tumor management, the possibility of spontaneous regression, and the morbidity associated with the surgical option.

RESUMO

El virus de papiloma humano (vph) es el principal factor de riesgo asociado al cáncer cervical, y es la causa de muerte más común por cáncer entre las mujeres en Colombia. Por tanto, crece el interés a nivel mundial y nacional por mejorar las estrategias de control y diagnóstico de la infección; incluyendo técnicas de diagnóstico molecular que identifiquen y diferencien tipos virales específicos para así tener mejor entendimiento de la dinámica del virus en la historia natural de la infección por vph. En el presente trabajo se detectó el vph en 363 pacientes diagnosticadas con lesiones asc-us o lsil en su citología, pertenecientes al programa de tamizaje de cáncer de cérvix de la eps Sanitas. Sólo a 302 de estas muestras se les pudo realizar genotipificación por Reverse Line Blot, de éstas el 20,5% (62/302 pacientes) fueron positivas para vph; los tipos virales de alto riesgo estuvieron presentes en el 82,2% y los de bajo riesgo, en el 17,8%. Por primera vez se realiza un acercamiento a la descripción de tipos virales específicos, encontrados en muestras con diagnóstico citológico de asc-us o lsil en Bogotá.


Human papillomavirus (hpv) is the principal risk factor associated with cervical cancer, the most common malignancy among women in Colombia. Therefore, a growing concern globally and nationally to improve strategies to control and diagnosis of infection, including molecular diagnostic techniques to identify and differentiate specific hpv types thus have a better understanding of the dynamics of the virus in history natural infection. In the present work was performed hpv detection and genotyping in 302 of 363 patients who normally attended the screening program of the eps Sanitas, and were subsequently diagnosed with asc-us lesions. We found hpv in 20.5% (62/302 patients) divided into 82.2% for high-risk viral types and 17.8% for low risk. For the first time was a description of specific viral types found in samples of asc-us in Bogotá.

RESUMO

Four cases of Jarcho-Levin's syndrome in the province of Antioquia, Colombia Jarcho-Levin's syndrome is a skeletal dysplasia with changes in the morphogenesis and costal vertebrae segmentation. It is manifested by hemivertebrae, fused vertebral bodies, absent vertebrae or fused ribs. This entity has also been called spondylo-costal or spondylo-thoracic dysplasia-dysostosis. This paper presents four cases evaluated at the Hospital University San Vicente de Paúl, Medellín, Colombia. Three had family origins in southwestern Antioquia and one in Medellin, indicating the possibility of a predisposing genetic allele with elevated frequency in this population. The clinical and radiological manifestations were described, a well as the most notable complications, such as restrictive lung disease with permanent oxygen requirement (all 4 patients) and portal hypertension etiology (1 patient). The latter has not been reported previously as a manifestation of this syndrome.
