Métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática utilizando Scopus, Google Scholar y PubMed para identificar artículos que adaptaran y/o validaran CAPE-V entre 2002 y 2022. Se analizó el título y resumen para preseleccionar la muestra. Para evaluar el riesgo de sesgo de los estudios incluidos se analizó de forma crítica el texto completo. Resultados: La búsqueda inicial identificó 568 artículos. Al eliminar duplicados se revisaron 559 y 23 fueron preseleccionados. 12 se incluyeron finalmente y fueron analizados, considerando adaptación, metodología y análisis estadístico. Los resultados revelan que la adaptación y validación de CAPE-V a diversos idiomas es fundamental para garantizar mediciones precisas y confiables en diferentes poblaciones. Análisis y discusión: Existe heterogeneidad en la forma de realizar la adaptación y validación de CAPE-V. No obstante, todos los estudios tuvieron éxito en producir resultados válidos, subrayando la importancia de estos procesos para la práctica clínica. Conclusiones: Las adaptaciones y validaciones de CAPE-V se realizaron heterogéneamente por ausencia de un protocolo estándar. Es necesario generar orientaciones para realizar estos procesos por el aporte de esta escala a la clínica, asegurando calidad y confiabilidad de los resultados.


Introduction: CAPE-V is widely used for vocal perceptual evaluation and has been adapted and validated in multiple languages. Through an exhaustive analysis, this study sought to advance in establishing a standard in the method used in its adaptation and validation. Objective: To review articles published between 2002 and 2022 that have adapted and validated CAPE-V in different languages, to thoroughly evaluate the adaptation, methodology, and statistics used. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using Scopus, Google Scholar and PubMed to identify articles that adapted and/or validated CAPE-V between 2002 and 2022. The title and summary were analyzed to pre-select the sample. To evaluate the risk of bias of the included studies, the full text was critically analyzed. Results: The initial search identified 568 items. When duplicates were removed, 559 were reviewed and 23 were pre-selected. 12 were finally included and analyzed considering adaptation, methodology, and statistical analysis. The results show that the adaptation and validation of CAPE-V to different languages is essential to ensure accurate and reliable measurements in different populations. Analysis and discussion: There is heterogeneity in how CAPE-V is adapted and validated. However, all studies were successful in producing valid results, underlining the importance of these processes for clinical practice. Conclusions: Adaptations and validations of CAPE-V were performed heterogeneously due to the absence of a standard protocol. It is necessary to generate guidelines to perform these processes by providing this scale to the clinic, ensuring quality and reliability of results.

ABSTRACT

La tasa de prematuridad global, según laOrganización Mundial de la Salud (OMS),muestra un aumento progresivo; su principal componente es el grupo de prematuros tardíos. Este grupo de pacientes suele tener buen peso al nacer, lo que hace que no se perciba muchas veces el riesgo de presentar un espectro de morbilidades del desarrollo, conductuales einmadurez de diferentes órganos y sistemasque impactan en la evolución a corto y largo plazo y aumentan la morbimortalidad. A su vez, tienen un efecto sustancial en los servicios de atención médica. El objetivo de esta publicación es discutir algunosaspectos relacionados con la salud de este grupo de pacientes y sugerir su seguimiento con un enfoque holístico e interdisciplinario.


The WHO states that prematurity rates have increased mainly due to late preterm births. Since these babies are usually born with appropriate weight for their gestational age, their risk for morbidities such as neurodevelopmental delays, behavioral problems and organ systems immaturity are overlooked. Further, these clinical findings have an impact on short and long term outcomes (i.e., morbidities, mortality, and higher healthcare costs). The aim of this publication is to discuss topics related to late-preterm newborns' health, including a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to follow up care.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La enfermedad meningocócica representa un problema de salud pública y una de las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad en todo el mundo. Los serogrupos que causan la mayor carga de enfermedad a nivel global son A, B, C, W e Y. El objetivo del estudio fue describir los serogrupos y la resistencia antimicrobiana de Neisseria meningitidis aisladas de enfermedad invasiva en Paraguay durante el periodo 2010-2020. Se estudiaron todas las muestras de líquido cefalorraquídeo y sangre con aislamientos o detección de ADN por PCR de N. meningitidis de pacientes de diversas edades, que fueron remitidas al Laboratorio Central de Salud Pública durante el periodo 2010-2020, dentro del marco de la vigilancia epidemiológica de meningitis (n=163) en Paraguay. La mayor frecuencia de hallazgos de N. meningitidis se observó en el grupo de edad de < 1 año. El 25,7% de los casos correspondió al serogrupo B, el 52,1% al serogrupo C, 18,4% al serogrupo W y 3,7% al serogrupo Y. En el 2018, se evidenció la mayor cantidad de casos por serogrupo C (n=27). La menor frecuencia de sensibilidad disminuida a penicilina G fue en el 2010 (12,5%) y la mayor en el 2014 (100,0%). Se registró un aumento de casos por serogrupo C a partir del 2017, posicionándose como serogrupo prevalente hasta el 2020, y además, un aumento de la sensibilidad disminuida a la penicilina. La vigilancia es de importancia en el control de la enfermedad meningocócica para detección de brotes, estimación de la carga de enfermedad, análisis de resistencia antimicrobiana, distribución de serogrupos y evaluaciones de estrategias de control.


ABSTRACT Meningococcal disease represents a public health problem and one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The serogroups that cause the highest burden of disease globally are A, B, C, W, and Y. The aim of the study was to describe serogroups and antimicrobial resistance of Neisseria meningitidis isolated from invasive disease in Paraguay during the 2010-2020 period. Samples of cerebrospinal fluid and blood with isolates or detection of DNA by PCR of N. meningitidis from patients of different ages referred to the Central Public Health Laboratory during the period 2010-2020 within the framework of the epidemiological surveillance of meningitis (n = 163) in Paraguay were studied. The highest frequency of N. meningitidis findings was observed in the <1 year age group, 25.7% of the cases corresponded to serogroup B, 52.1% to serogroup C, 18.4% to serogroup W and 3.7% to serogroup Y. In 2018, the highest number of cases by serogroup C (n = 27) was found. The lowest frequency of decreased sensitivity to penicillin G was in 2010 (12.5%) and the highest in 2014 (100.0%). There was an increase in cases due to serogroup C in 2017, positioning itself as the prevalent serogroup until 2020, in addition, there was an increase in decreased sensitivity to penicillin. Surveillance is important in the control of meningococcal disease for outbreak detection, estimation of the burden of disease, analysis of antimicrobial resistance, serogroup distribution, and evaluations of control strategies.

ABSTRACT

Whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) are a diverse group of sap-sucking insect species that can cause severe damage in crops with global economic importance. Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are a crop with considerable value for the brewing and pharmaceutical industries worldwide. The aim of the current study is to register whitefly species associated with this plant in Brazil. Specimens were collected from H. lupulus leaves in four different counties in Rio de Janeiro state (Cachoeiras de Macacu, Cordeiro, Nova Friburgo and Seropédica). Whiteflies belonging to nine genera and distributed in two subfamilies (Aleurodicinae and Aleyrodinae) were identified. Nine hop varieties (i.e., Brazylinsk, Cascade, Chinook, Columbus, Hallertau, Nugget, Saaz, Spalt, and Victoria) are used as host plants by these insects in Brazil. Except for Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood), the other identified species were recorded in hop crops for the first time.

ABSTRACT

El bullying es un fenómeno definido como una forma de agresión intencional que incluye actos verbales, físicos o psicológicos que ocurren en una relación con otras personas de manera reiterada, sistemática y sostenida en el tiempo. La mayor parte de los estudios se concentran en el bullying y las consecuencias en población escolar normotípica, sin embargo, existe poca exploración en el bullying que es resultado de un trastorno comunicativo. Es por ello que la labor de los fonoaudiólogos insertos en ámbitos educativos no es clara en explicitar los lineamientos de acciones terapéuticas que favorezcan la prevención de este fenómeno. El propósito de esta investigación es conocer las principales concepciones que los fonoaudiólogos tienen sobre el bullying en personas con trastornos de la comunicación en edad escolar. Con este objetivo, se realizó una investigación con métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos, mediados por encuestas y entrevistas en profundidad respectivamente. Se encontró que más del 65% del bullying entre personas dentro de los establecimientos educacionales se relaciona con niños de entre 9 y 12 años de edad con trastornos de la comunicación. En cuanto a la autopercepción del rol fonoaudiológico en el tema de la prevención e/o intervención en temas de bullying, emergen los conceptos de favorecer los aspectos del lenguaje y/o del habla en los niños que tienen dificultad, la sensibilización de los actores involucrados, el refuerzo del autoestima y el trabajo en equipo interdisciplinario. Finalizando el tratamiento analítico de las entrevistas, se establece que la Fonoaudiología cumpliría un papel fundamental en el abordaje del bullying en poblaciones con trastornos de la comunicación, siendo el profesional que actúa directamente sobre la salud comunicativa.


Bullying is a phenomenon defined as a form of intentional aggression that includes verbal, physical or psychological acts that occur in a relationship with other people in a repeated, systematic and sustained manner over time. Most of the studies focus on bullying and its consequences in the normal school population, however, there is little exploration of bullying that is the result of a communication disorder. This is why the work of speech therapists inserted in educational settings is not clear in explaining the guidelines for therapeutic actions that favor the prevention of this phenomenon. The purpose of this research is to know the main conceptions that speech-language pathologists have about bullying in people with communication disorders at school age. With this objective, an investigation was carried out with quantitative and qualitative methods, mediated by surveys and in-depth interviews, respectively. It was found that more than 65% of bullying between people within educational establishments is related to children between 9 and 12 years of age with communication disorders. Regarding the self-perception of the speech-language pathology role in the issue of prevention and/or intervention in bullying issues, the concepts of favoring aspects of language and/or speech in children who have difficulty emerge, raising awareness of the actors involved, the reinforcement of self-esteem and interdisciplinary teamwork. Completing the analytical treatment of the interviews, it is established that speech therapy would play a fundamental role in addressing bullying in populations with communication disorders, being the professional who acts directly on communicative health.

ABSTRACT

Este articulo surge a partir de la necesidad de generar espacios de reflexión sobre el rol del fonoaudiólogo en las dificultades de alimentación infantil. Se debe tener en cuenta que la alimentación es un proceso natural que trasciende a la cultura. En el ámbito pediátrico son cada vez más frecuentes las consultas por dificultades de esta índole. La fonoaudiología, estudia e interviene las alteraciones de la deglución y alimentación en diferentes rangos etarios. Particularmente, en bebés y niños pequeños, estas problemáticas pueden deberse a múltiples condicionantes que alteren o dificulten la seguridad y eficacia deglutoria; como también el confort durante la alimentación. A lo largo del manuscrito se intentan revisar ejes centrales en estrecha relación a este tema que posee múltiples aristas y como parte final en la discusión se aborda la complejidad que plantean los desafíos de la alimentación con especial énfasis en la necesidad del trabajo interdisciplinario. Por lo que se busca como meta final dar a conocer el rol del fonoaudiólogo en los trastornos de alimentación a la comunidad científica a través de un artículo de reflexión


This article arises from the need to generate reflection spaces of the (SLP) speech and language pathology ́s role in pediatric feeding disorders. It should be taken into account that feeding is a natural process that transcends culture. In the pediatric field, consultations for difficulties of this nature are frequent increasingly. SLP assess and rehab feeding and swallowing disorders in all range age. Particularly in babies and young children, these problems may be due to multiple conditions that alter or hinder swallowing safety and efficacy, as well as comfort during feeding. Throughout the manuscript, an attempt is made to review central themes closely related to this topic, which has multiple edges, and as a final part of the discussion, the complexity posed by the challenges of nutrition is addressed with special emphasis on the need for interdisciplinary work. Therefore, the final goal is to make the role of the speech

ABSTRACT

Es innegable la necesidad de contar con curvas estándar de tamaño al nacer y crecimiento para evaluar y contribuir a orientar las acciones en la atención del neonato. Durante muchos años, se utilizaron las referencias de Lejarraga y Fustiñana, que fueron progresivamente reemplazadas por las de Fenton y Kim.Recientemente, el proyecto INTERGROWTH-21st construyó estándares de crecimiento prescriptivo para evaluar el tamaño al nacer desde las 33 semanas de edad gestacional, referencias para evaluar el tamaño al nacer desde las 24 a las 32,6 semanas de edad gestacional y curvas para el seguimiento longitudinal del crecimiento de recién nacidos pretérmino desde las 27 semanas de edad gestacional. Los Comités de Crecimiento y Desarrollo y de Estudios Feto-neonatales de la Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría, en conjunto con la Secretaría de Gobierno de Salud de la Nación, acordaron recomendar el reemplazo de las curvas de Fenton y Kim por las de INTERGROWTH-21st


It is unquestionable the need to have standards of size at birth and growth to evaluate and contribute to guide the actions in the care of the newborn. For many years the references of Lejarraga and Fustiñana were used, progressively replaced by those of Fenton and Kim. However, recently, the INTERGROWTH-21st project has developed prescriptive growth standards to evaluate the size at birth from 33 weeks of gestational age, references from 24 to 32.6 weeks of gestational age, and curves for postnatal growth from 27 weeks of gestational age onward. The Growth and Development and Neonatal Fetal Studies Committees of the Argentine Society of Pediatrics in conjunction with the Secretary of National Government of Health agreed to recommend the replacement of the Fenton and Kim curves with those of INTERGROWTH-21st.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that increases the disease-free and overall survival of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) CD20+. The objective of this study is to describe the prevalence and spectrum of infections in patients with NHL receiving rituximab-containing chemotherapy and the impact on survival. Materials and Methods From January 2011 to December 2012, all patients diagnosed with NHL who received at least one dose of rituximab were included. Results During the study period, 265 patients received rituximab; 108 (40.8%) males; the mean age was 60 ± 15 years. There were 177 infections in 85 patients, being the most common febrile neutropenia (n = 38; 21.5%) and mucosal barrier injury-related infections (n = 28; 15.8%). In 88 events (49%), there was a microbiologic diagnosis, being bacterial infection the most frequent (39.6%), but tuberculosis (TB) was developed in 4 cases (1.5%; incidence rate 721/100,000 person-year). During follow-up, 71 patients died (27%); in 35 cases, it was related to infection. There were no differences in follow-up between those who died due to infection versus those who died from another cause (p = 0.188). Multivariate analysis for mortality showed that age >60 years, failure to achieve a complete response, and development of an infectious complication increased the risk of death. Conclusions It is important to perform a screening test for TB in all patients who will receive rituximab and maintain a constant monitoring to detect an infectious process and begin treatment as soon as possible.

Conclusiones. Se observó un aislamiento significativamente mayor de cepas E-ESKAPE MDR en pacientes con neoplasias hematológicas.


Abstract: Objective: To describe the trend of multidrug resistant (MDR) strains isolated from blood in patients with cancer from 2005 to 2015. Materials and methods: 33 127 blood cultures were processed by retrospective analysis. Identification and antimicrobial sensitivity were performed through automated methods: WaLK away (Siemens Laboratory Diagnostics) and BD Phoenix (Becton, Dickinson and Company). Resistant strains were determined according to the minimum inhibitory concentration, following the parameters of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Results: Of 6 397 isolates, 5 604 (16.9%) were positive; 3 732 (58.4%) Gram- bacilli; 2 355 (36.9%) Gram+ cocci; 179 (2.7%) yeasts, and 126 (1.9%) Gram+ bacilli. Escherichia coli (n=1 591, 24.5%) was the most frequent bacteria, with 652 (41%) strains being extended-spectrum beta-lactamases producers (ESBL); of Enterococcus faecium (n=143, 2.1%), 45 (31.5%) were vancomycin resistant; of Staphylococcus aureus (n=571, 8.7%), 121 (21.2%) methicillin resistant (MRSA); of Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=367, 5.6%), 41 (11.2%) ESBL; of Acinetobacter baumanii (n=96, 1.4%), 23 (24%) MDR, and of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=384, 5.6%), 43 (11.2%) MDR. MDR strains were significantly more frequent in patients with hematological malignancies, compared to those with solid tumors: MRSA (OR=4.48, 95%CI 2.9-6.8), ESBL E. coli (OR=1.3, 95%CI 1.10-1.65) and MDR Acinetobacter baumanii (OR=3.2, 95%CI 1.2-8.3). Conclusions: We observed significantly higher isolations of E-ESPAKE MDR strains in patients with hematological malignancies.

ABSTRACT

Background A correct blood pressure (BP) measurement is essential for the diagnosis and control of high BP. Aim: To evaluate the agreement and repeatability of BP measurements with the OMRON HEM-7320-LA device compared to a mercury sphygmomanometer. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study comparing BP measurements made by two randomly selected trained nurses and an automatic oscillometric device. The mercurial sphygmomanometer was connected to the automated device via a "T" type connector and a dual-head stethoscope was used, allowing simultaneous measurements. The results were analyzed with one-factor analysis of variance, Bland-Altman's test, repeatability coefficient (RC), and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: Forty-nine participants aged 56 ± 19 years were included. Nineteen had hypertension (38%). We did not observe a significant difference in either systolic (SBP) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) pressure measurements between the observers and the device. The mean difference was −0.09 mmHg (95% confidence intervals (CI)-0.9 to 0.7) for SBP and −0.9 mmHg (95% CI −1.7 to −0.13) for DBP. The RC for SBP (6.2, 5.2 and 5.8 mmHg) and DBP (4.7, 4.2 y 5.2 mmHg) was similar between the observers and the device. The ICC for SBP was 0.990 (95% CI 0.983 to 0.995, p < 0.01) and 0.986 (95% CI 0.977 to 0.991, p < 0.01) for DBP. Conclusions: There was a high level of agreement and similar measurement repeatability in the measurements performed by the automatic device and the mercurial sphygmomanometer. No differences in BP measurements were observed.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: Objective: To describe the distribution of pneumococcal serotypes causing infectious diseases in patients with hematological malignancies and solid tumors and their antimicrobial susceptibility before and after introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in Mexico. Materials and methods: Consecutive pneumococcal isolates from hospitalized patients from the SIREVA-network were serotyped using the Quellung reaction and antimicrobial susceptibility was performed using the broth microdilution method. Results: A total of 175 pneumococcal isolates were recovered, 105 from patients with hematological malignancies and 70 with solid tumors. Serotypes 19A (22.7%), 19F (20.4%), and 35B (17.7%) were the most frequent isolates in the first group and serotypes 3 (27.2%) and 19A (28.6%) in the second group. No decreased susceptibility to beta-lactams or TMP/SMX was observed after introduction of PCV7. Conclusions: An increase in non-vaccine types is observed without significate changes in antimicrobial susceptibility after introduction of PCV7.


Resumen: Objetivo: Describir la distribución de serotipos neumocócicos en pacientes con neoplasias hematológicas y tumores sólidos, así como la susceptibilidad antimicrobiana antes y después de la introducción de la vacuna conjugada contra neumococo (PCV7) en México. Material y métodos: Se tipificaron, mediante la reacción de Quellung, los aislamientos consecutivos en hospitales de la Red SIREVA-México. Se determinó la susceptibilidad antimicrobiana mediante microdilución en placa. Resultados: Se recuperaron 175 aislamientos, de los cuales 105 provenían de pacientes con neoplasias hematológicas y 70 con tumores sólidos. Los serotipos 19A (22.7%), 19F (20.4%) y 35B (17.7%) fueron los más frecuentes en el primer grupo y los serotipos 3 (27.2%) y 19A (28.6%) en el segundo. No se observó disminución de la resistencia a betalactámicos o TMP/SMX después de la introducción de PCV7. Conclusiones: Se observa un incremento de serotipos no vacunales, sin cambios significativos en la susceptibilidad antimicrobiana antes y después de la introducción de PCV7.

Resultados: Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la interacción familiar negativa, farmacodependencia en la familia, conducta alcohólica en la familia, comunicación e integración. Conclusiones: Las diferencias de ideas entre padre y madre señalan que la madre asume una función importante respecto al involucramiento afectivo y su relación con problemas familiares, considerando que éste favorece un sentimiento de comprensión, interés y apoyo, significativo para la protección del consumo de sustancias.


Abstract Objective: to identify the relationship between affective involvement with drug addiction and alcoholic behavior in families with adolescent children. Materials and methods: It was performed in a population of 342 high school students; a sample of 272 subjects was captured. Sampling was stratified, by grade and group, between 14, 15 and 16 years old, who answered the Family Problems Instrument prepared by Magdalena Espinosa y Gómez 2006 and the Family Performance Evaluation Questionnaire built by Raquel Atri and Zetune in 2006. A student's t-test was used to evaluate the differences between the functional and dysfunctional affective involvement of mom and dad. Results: With statistically significant differences in negative family interaction, family dependence, alcoholic behavior in the family, communication and integration. Conclusions: The Differences of ideas between father and mother indicate that the mother assumes an important role regarding affective involvement and its relationship with family problems, considering that it fosters a sense of understanding, interest and support, meaningful for the protection of substance use.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the Nutrition Education discipline syllabus in Nutrition undergraduate courses in Brazil. Methods: This is a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive cross-sectional study, carried out in the form of survey. A letter of invitation was sent to higher education institutions that had at least one class that graduated by the end of the first semester of 2010 and provided the Nutrition education discipline syllabus. The software Analyse Lexicale par Contexte d'un Ensemble de Segments de Texte (Image, Toulouse, França) version 4.7 was used in the textual data analysis of the syllabuses, and the social representation theory was adopted as the theoretical model. Results: Data were obtained from 46 participant higher education institutions (11.7%), of which 18 were public institutions. Lexical analysis revealed the formation of two independent axes, which were composed respectively of words from the reference list of relevant books and articles included in the discipline syllabus and words related to the discipline program, indicating a lack of association between "reference list" and "text". As for the syllabus content, it was observed that the educational process should be composed of analysis, planning, and implementation, but these three steps (defined by classes) do not seem to be related or connected to each other, demonstrating a nutrition (and food) education teaching gap. Conclusion: This analysis revealed the need to restructure the nutrition education syllabuses to promote greater integration between theory and practice. However, in order to ensure higher qualification and competence of future professionals, it is suggested deeper consideration including the political-pedagogical projects of nutrition undergraduate programs and the Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (National Curriculum Guidelines).


RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar os planos de ensino da disciplina de Educação Nutricional em cursos de Nutrição no Brasil. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, exploratório e descritivo, de caráter transversal, tipo survey, realizado por meio de carta-convite às instituições que possuíam turmas formadas até o término do primeiro semestre de 2010 e que disponibilizaram planos de ensino da disciplina de Educação Nutricional. Para a realização da análise textual dos planos de ensino, foi utilizado o software Análise de Dados Textuais (Image, Toulouse, França) versão 4.7 e foi adotada a teoria das representações sociais como modelo teórico. Resultados: Os dados da pesquisa foram oriundos de 46 instituições (11,7%), das quais 18 eram públicas. A análise lexical revelou a formação de dois eixos independentes, compostos, respectivamente, por palavras originárias das bibliografias apresentadas nas ementas da disciplina e por palavras relacionadas ao programa da mesma, representando uma falta de associação entre 'referências' e 'texto'. Quanto ao conteúdo programático, observou-se que o processo educacional deve ser composto por análise, planejamento e implementação, mas essas três etapas (definidas por classes) não parecem estar articuladas, revelando uma fragmentação no ensino da educação (alimentar e) nutricional. Conclusão: Esta análise revelou a necessidade de reestruturação das ementas da disciplina Educação Nutricional no sentido de promover uma maior integração do binômio teoria-prática. Contudo, para uma maior efetividade de atuação dos futuros profissionais, sugere-se um repensar mais amplo, que envolva os planos políticos pedagógicos dos cursos e as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Objetivo: Describir los patrones de resistencia bacteriana en cultivos de orina de pacientes de un hospital oncológico en la Ciudad de México, de 2004 a 2013. Material y métodos: Se obtuvo el porcentaje de susceptibilidad para diferentes antibióticos, describiendo por separado las bacterias multidrogorresistentes (MDR). Se analizaron por separado las cepas obtenidas de pacientes hospitalizados de las de la comunidad. Resultados: Se realizaron 51 202 cultivos, de los cuales se identificaron 14 480 bacterias (28.3%). De éstas, se reportaron 11 427 Gram negativos (78.9%); 2 080 Gram positivos (14.4%); y 973 (6.6%) levaduras. Escherichia coli fue el principal microorganismo aislado (56.1%); 24% de las cepas de la comunidad y 66% de las nosocomiales fueron productoras de beta-lactamasas de espectro extendido (BLEE). Klebsiella pneumoniae se identificó en 705 cultivos (4.8%), 115 de los cuales fueron BLEE (16%): 13.1% de la comunidad y 29.8% nosocomiales. Pseudomonas aeruginosa se identificó en 593 cultivos (4.1%): 9% de la comunidad y 51% nosocomiales. Conclusiones: Las cepas MDR son mucho más frecuentes en muestras de origen nosocomial. Es prioritario intensificar el uso racional de antibióticos en la comunidad y el programa de desescalamiento de antimicrobianos en el hospital.


Abstract: Objective: To describe the incidence and patterns of bacterial resistance in urine samples from a tertiary care oncology hospital in Mexico, from 2004 to 2013. Materials and methods: We included the strains obtained from urine cultures, describing separately multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. We analyzed the susceptibility to different antibiotics. Results: 51 202 urine cultures were processed during the study; 14 480 (28.3%) cultures were positive. In 11 427 samples Gram negative (79%) were isolated, 2 080 Gram positive (14.4%), and 973 yeasts (6.6%). Escherichia coli was the most frequent bacteria identified (56.1%); 24% of the community strains and 65.7% of the nosocomial were extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producers (ESBL). Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated in 705 samples (4.8%); 115 were ESBL (16%), 13.1% from community and 29.8% from nosocomial source. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was identified in 593 cultures (4.1%): 9% from community and 51% nosocomial. Conclusions: MDR bacteria were more frequent in nosocomial isolates. It should be a priority to intensify the rational use of antimicrobials in the community and antibiotic stewardship in the hospital.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Establecer las características y causas de muerte de pacientes VIH positivos que fallecen al estar hospitalizados. Material y métodos. Se incluyeron pacientes VIH positivos que fallecieron durante la hospitalización entre 2010 y 2013. Se recabaron datos sociodemográficos y clínicos, causas de muerte y muertes prevenibles. Se consideraron prevenibles aquellas muertes en pacientes con menos de seis meses de terapia antirretroviral altamente activa (TARAA) o sin tratamiento y con menos de 350 CD4+ al momento del diagnóstico o del internamiento, con o sin enfermedades oportunistas. Resultados. Se identificaron 128 muertes. La mediana de CD4+ fue 47 cels/mm³; 18% llegó al internamiento sin diagnóstico de VIH, 51% tenía menos de seis meses de haber sido diagnosticado y 40.5% no había recibido TARAA. Las principales causas de muerte fueron eventos definitorios de sida (65.6%). Se identificaron 70 muertes prevenibles (57%). Conclusión. A pesar del acceso universal a TARAA, en México los pacientes VIH positivos siguen falleciendo por eventos relacionados con sida, que es un indicador de diagnóstico tardío del VIH. Es urgente implementar programas de detección temprana para hacer accesible el beneficio de la TARAA.


Objective. To establish the characteristics and causes of death of HIV patients who die while hospitalized. Materials and methods. We included HIV+ patients who died during hospitalization, in three hospitals in Mexico City between 2010 and 2013. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected as well as causes of death. We identified preventable deaths (defined as deaths that occurred in patients with less than six months of HAART, or without HAART, with less than 350 CD4 at diagnosis and/or opportunistic events as the cause of hospitalization). Results. 128 deaths were analyzed. The median of CD4 count was 47 cells/mm³; 18% of the patients ignored their HIV status at the time of hospitalization, 51% had less than six months of HAART, 40.5% had never received HAART before. The main causes of death were AIDS defining events, with 65.6%. We identified 70 preventable deaths (57%). Conclusions. Despite universal access to HAART, HIV patients in Mexico are still dying of AIDS defining illnesses, an indicator of late diagnosis. It is urgent to implement HIV testing programs to allow earlier diagnosis and make HAART benefit accessible to all.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Determinar la prevalencia de Campylobacter spp. en pacientes menores de 11 años con síndrome diarreico agudo e indagar la resistencia antimicrobiana con respecto a las drogas de elección para el tratamiento clínico con Ciprofloxacina, Eritromicina y Tetraciclina. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo de corte transverso, muestreo no probabilístico de casos consecutivos, cuya muestra tiene un tamaño de 1110 con un nivel de confianza de 95%. La población estudiada fue de pacientes pediátricos menores de 11 años cuyas muestras de heces fueron remitidas por las instituciones integrantes de la Red de Enteropatógenos al Laboratorio Central de Salud Pública en el periodo 2010-2012. Resultados: De 1110 muestras de heces estudiadas se aislaron Campylobacter spp. en 176 de ellas y corresponde al 16% de prevalencia. Se observó resistencia a las quinolonas en un 49 % de las muestras estudiadas, así como una resistencia a Tetraciclina del 28% y 1% de resistencia a los macrólidos (Eritromicina). Conclusión: Se observó una prevalencia importante de Campylobacter spp. como agente etiológico de síndrome diarreico agudo y es relevante la incorporación del aislamiento de este patógeno como agente etiológico rutinario en los análisis de coprocultivos realizados. La resistencia observada a las drogas de elección utilizadas como tratamiento nos obliga a tener en cuenta el control del uso indiscriminado de antimicrobianos

ABSTRACT

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las condiciones, en el contexto de América Latina, que incrementan la vulnerabilidad de las mujeres al VIH y que impactan gravemente en su bienestar. La revisión sobre la evidencia disponible y la reflexión de las autoras fue centrada en las experiencias de América Latina incluyendo la experiencia personal de las autoras de México y El Salvador en el seguimiento y atención de mujeres con VIH. Las mujeres de la región de América Latina se encuentran en una posición de enorme vulnerabilidad y con pocos recursos de protección. Los factores relacionados a dicha vulnerabilidad las impulsan hoy al centro de la epidemia teniendo como resultado un crecimiento acelerado de la epidemia entre ellas. El daño producido por el VIH a las mujeres no se limita exclusivamente a ellas sino se ve extendido a su familia acrecentando así el dolor y el sufrimiento de las afectadas


This manuscript is intended to analyze the conditions that contribute to increase women's vulnerability to HIV in the Latin American region and affects and impacts on its wellbeing. The review and reflection of the authors is center in the evidence available and in their experience in Latin America with particular emphasis in the experience in Mexico and El Salvador where they have being involved in the care of HIV infected women. Women in the Latin-American region are placed in a position of great vulnerability, with scarcely preventive resources. The factors related to this vulnerability are impelling them to the center of this epidemic with an accelerated HIV epidemic among women in the region. The damage produced by HIV in women is not exclusively limited to them but is being extended to their families increasing the pain and suffering of those affected
