ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: El síndrome de Gorlin-Goltz, o síndrome nevoide de células básales (SNCB), es un trastorno autosómico dominante de baja incidencia. Su etiología se relaciona con una mutación en el gen PTCH y afecta los sistemas esquelético, oftalmológico y neurológico. Su prevalencia es de 1:60.000 y las mutaciones de novo se presentan aproximadamente en un 20 % a 30 % de los casos. Objetivo: Describir el proceso diagnóstico y manejo de un caso de esporádica presentación de una paciente con SNCB con carcinoma escamocelular (CEC) en labio superior. Descripción del caso: Se trató de una mujer de 58 años, quien asistió a consulta odontológica por motivos estéticos y funcionales. Se encontró un CEC (confirmado por inmunohistoquímica) asintomático delimitado en el lado izquierdo del labio superior, con erosiones de color rojizo y costra. No se encontraron linfoadenopatías asociadas. También evidenció fisuras palmoplantares y múltiples carcinomas basocelulares en la espalda y el dorso de la mano izquierda (con antecedentes familiares similares). Radiográficamente, no se observaron queratoquistes mandibulares que usualmente se asocian con el síndrome de Gorlin-Goltz. Conclusiones: Se diagnosticó SNCB en la paciente, pues presentaba dos criterios mayores (dos o más CBC y piqueteado palmoplantar) y dos menores (calcificación laminar de la hoz del cerebro y antecedente de fibromas ováricos). El tratamiento odontológico se planeó y se remitió a la paciente a la institución pertinente para manejar su condición sistémica.


Background: Gorlin-Goltz syndrome or nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is an autosomal dominant disorder with low incidence. The etiology' is associated with a PTCH gene mutation and affects the skeletal, ophthalmic and neurological systems. The prevalence is 1:60,000 and de novo mutations occur approximately in 20% to 30% of the cases. Objective: To describe the diagnosis and management process for a rare case of a NBCCS patient who developed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the upper lip. Case Description: The patient is a 58 year-old woman who attended to the dental office for aesthetic and functional reasons. An asymptomatic SCC was found (confirmed after immunohistochemical evidence) with defined limits to the left of the upper lip. It showed reddish erosions and some scab. No associated lymphadenopathies were found. The patient had some plantar foot fissures and multiple carcinoma basal cells in the back and in the left hand dorsum (with similar family previous cases). No maxillary keratocyst were observed in the radiographs, notwithstanding they are always associated with the Gorlin-Goltz syndrome. Conclusions: The patient was diagnosed with NBCCS based on two main criteria (two or more SCC lesions and plantar foot fissures) and two mild criteria (laminar calcification in the cerebral falx and family background of ovarian fibromas). A dental treatment was designed, and the patient was referred to another institution for a systemic treatment of her disease.

ABSTRACT

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disorder of unknown cause. It most commonly affects the pulmonary system but can also affect the musculoskeletal system, albeit less frequently. In patients with sarcoidosis, rheumatic involvement is polymorphic. It can be the presenting symptom of the disease or can appear during its progression. Articular involvement is dominated by nonspecific arthralgia, polyarthritis, and Löfgren's syndrome, which is defined as the presence of lung adenopathy, arthralgia (or arthritis), and erythema nodosum. Skeletal manifestations, especially dactylitis, appear mainly as complications of chronic, multiorgan sarcoidosis. Muscle involvement in sarcoidosis is rare and usually asymptomatic. The diagnosis of rheumatic sarcoidosis is based on X-ray findings and magnetic resonance imaging findings, although the definitive diagnosis is made by anatomopathological study of biopsy samples. Musculoskeletal involvement in sarcoidosis is generally relieved with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids. In corticosteroid-resistant or -dependent forms of the disease, immunosuppressive therapy, such as treatment with methotrexate or anti-TNF-α, is employed. The aim of this review was to present an overview of the various types of osteoarticular and muscle involvement in sarcoidosis, focusing on their diagnosis and management.


A sarcoidose é um distúrbio inflamatório multissistêmico de causa desconhecida, frequentemente afetando o sistema pulmonar e também o sistema músculo-esquelético, mas de forma menos frequente. Em pacientes com sarcoidose, o acometimento reumático é polimórfico, podendo ser o sintoma de apresentação da doença ou aparecer durante sua progressão. O acometimento articular é dominado por artralgia inespecífica, poliartrite e síndrome de Löfgren, que é definida como a presença de adenopatia pulmonar, artralgia (ou artrite) e eritema nodoso. Manifestações esqueléticas, especialmente dactilite, aparecem principalmente como complicações de sarcoidose crônica e em vários órgãos. O acometimento muscular na sarcoidose é raro e geralmente assintomático. O diagnóstico de sarcoidose reumática baseia-se em achados radiográficos e de ressonância magnética, embora o diagnóstico definitivo seja feito pelo estudo anatomopatológico de amostras de biópsia. O acometimento músculo-esquelético na sarcoidose é geralmente aliviado com o uso de anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais ou corticosteroides. Em formas da doença resistentes ao corticosteroide ou corticosteroide dependentes, a terapia de imunossupressão, como o tratamento com metotrexato ou anti-TNF-α, é utilizada. O objetivo desta revisão foi apresentar uma visão geral dos vários tipos de acometimento osteoarticular e muscular na sarcoidose, com foco no diagnóstico e manejo.

ABSTRACT

An extremely effective way of preventing damage to and enhancing treatment of dental hard tissues and restorations would be to ''de-programme'' the muscles responsible for excessive destructive forces and other gnathological-related diseases. The new paradigm is the intramuscular injection of Botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX) into the affected muscles. It is a natural protein produced by anaerobic bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. The toxin inhibits the release of acetylcholine (ACH), a neurotransmitter responsible for the activation of muscle contraction and glandular secretion, and its administration results in reduction of tone in the injected muscle. There are seven distinct serotypes of Botulinum toxin, viz., A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, which differ in their potency, duration of action, and cellular target sites. This paper describes the different applications of BOTOX in dentistry.

ABSTRACT

La Sensibilización Espinal Segmentaria (SES) corresponde a un estado hiperactivo de un segmento espinal en reacción a un foco irritativo, el cual bombardea constantemente el ganglio sensorial con estímulos. Esto se traduce en dolor espontáneo, hiperalgesia y adolinia. El Bloqueo Paraespinoso (BPE) ayudaría a la desensibilización gradual del segmento espinal comprometido. Objetivo: Mostrar manifestaciones de la SES y los efectos de Bloqueo Paraespinal en pacientes con dolor crónico de extremidad superior atendidos en el Servicio de Medicina Física y Rehabilitación del HCUCH entre abril - agosto 2008. Material y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo - retrospectivo de pacientes que consultan por dolor crónico de extremidad superior, que presentaron signos de SES en atención ambulatoria del Servicio de Medicina Física y Rehabilitación del HCUCH. Se evaluó características demográficas y clínicas, y respuestas tras BPE. Resultados: Once pacientes presentaron signos de SES. El 100 por ciento fue de sexo femenino, con una mediana edad de 44 años. El 63,6 por ciento presentó Epicondilitis como diagnóstico inicial, seguido de Lesión de MAnguito Rotator (36 por ciento) y el 36 por ciento presentó mas de una patología. El EVA inicial fue en promedio de 8,9. El territorio afectado más frecuente fue C6 - C7 (36 por ciento). Tras el BPE, el dolor en reposo disminuye a un EVA promedio de 2,8 (diminución de un 68,3 por ciento). Incidentalmente, se observó ganancia en los rangos articulares de los segmentos comprometidos. Discusión: La búsqueda y tratamiento de la SES mediante el BPE puede ser una herramienta útil en el manejo de pacientes con dolor crónico musculoesquelético.


Introduction: Spinal Segmental Sensitization (SSS) relates to an hyperactive state of one spinal segment reacting to a source of irritation that is constantly stimulating the dorsal ganglion. This translates into spontaneous pain, hyperalgesia and allodinia. The Paraspinus Block (PB) technique would prove useful to desensitize the reacting segment. Objetive: To show SSS manifestations and the effects of Paraspinus Block in patients with chronic pain in upper limbs treated at Hospital Clinico Universidad de Chile Physical and Rehab Med Center from April through August 2008. Materials and Method: Descriptive and retrospective study of Physical and Rehab Med Center outpatients with upper limb chronic pain showing signs of SSS. Demographic and clinical information was evaluated as well as response to PB treatment. Results: Eleven patients showed signs of SSS of which 100 percent were female in their mid forties. 63.6 percent were initially diagnosed with Epycondilitis while 36 percent with Rotator Cuff Tear and 36 percent with more than one disease. The initial average VAS was 8.9. The most affected area was C6 - C7 (36 percent). After PBE pain while resting is reduced to an average VAS of 2.8 (a 68.3 percent reduction). We also observed a gain in irritated segments. Discussion: The search and treatment of SSS using PBE could be a useful tool for pain management in patients with musculoskeletal chronic pain.

ABSTRACT

Background Self-medication is a common behavior in the general population, specially among those suffering from chronic pain. Aim: To study the prevalence and characteristics of self medication. Subjects and Methods: Aiming to know the prevalence and features of self medication, a structured interview was applied to 272 out of 419 individuals from the general population, that reported musculoskeletal symptoms. Results: Sixty five percent of those interviewed recognised self medication. No gender differences were observed and there was a trend towards a higher frequency of self medication among older individuals. The frequency of self-medication was higher in low socioeconomic groups, subjects with long lasting pain, those with more severe pain and among subjects with a previous prescription. The drugs more frequently used were dipyrone, piroxicam and aspirin. The average daily piroxicam dose reported was 27 mg. Self medication was not associated with the labor condition of the subjects or the time of occurrence of symptoms. Conclusions: Self medication is a frequent behavior, particularly among low socio-economic groups and those with long lasting and more severe pain

ABSTRACT

En este trabajo se analiza la susceptibilidad in vitro de 64 cepas de Staphylococcus aureus meticilina resistentes (SAMR), aisladas de procesos infecciosos osteo-articulares frente a linezolid y se compara con la de teicoplanina. El 100 por ciento de las cepas analizadas fue inhibido por linezoid entre 0,25 y 3 µg/ml y por teicoplanina entre 0,38 y 2 µg/ml. La CIM de linezolid fue 0,75 µg/ml y la de teicoplanina fue 1 µg/ml. La CIM para ambos antimicrobianos fue 1,5 µg/ml. La buena evaluación in vitro de linezolid frente a SAMR y su excelente biodisponibilidad por vía oral, lo hacen una atractiva opción terapéutica en el manejo de las infecciones osteoarticulares causadas por SAMR. Sin embargo, su uso para esta indicación aún no ha sido aprobado por Food and Drug Administration

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: The incidence of staphylococcal infection has been increasing during the last 20 years. OBJECTIVE: Report a case of staphylococcal endocarditis preceded by musculoskeletal manifestations, which is a rare form of clinical presentation. DESIGN: Case report. CASE REPORT: A 45-year-old-man, without addictions and without known previous cardiopathy, was diagnosed as having definitive acute bacterial endocarditis due to Staphylococcus aureus. Its etiology was community-acquired, arising from a non-apparent primary focus. In addition, the musculoskeletal symptoms preceded the infective endocarditis (IE) by about 1 month, which occurred together with other symptoms, e.g. mycotic aneurysms and petechiae. Later, the patient showed perforation of the mitral valve and moderate mitral insufficiency with clinical control

ABSTRACT

Um estudo aberto näo comparativo foi conduzido para avaliar a eficácia e tolerabilidade do piroxicam na forma de comprimidos solúveis em pacientes com afecçöesmúsculo-esqueléticas agudas. Um total de 2.143 pacientes de ambos os sexos, com idade média de 36,87(ñ13,54) anos foram tratados com piroxicam em comprimidos solúveis: dois comprimidos (40 mg) nos primeiros dois dias e um comprimido (20mg) nos dias subsequentes por um período máximo de 14 dias. Para a análise de eficácia, foram avaliados os parâmetros dor local, limitaçäo funcional e dor aos movimentos. A auto-avaliaçäo dos pacientes quanto à dor também foi analisada. Uma melhora estatisticamente significante (p>0,001) foi encontrada em todos os parâmetros já no 3§ dia de tratamento. Ao final do tratamento, 96,2 por cento dos pacientes e 95,9 por cento dos médicos consideraram os resultados como excelentes ou bons. Reaçöes adversas foram encontradas em 260 pacientes (12 por cento), a maioria delas foram consideradas pelos investigadores como leves

ABSTRACT

Em estudo multicêntrico, Cataflam Emulgel foi utilizado em 8.957 pacientes portadores, em sua maioria, de afecçöes músculo-esqueléticas. A duraçäo do tratamento foi de um a seis dias em 77,6 por cento dos casos. Em relaçäo ao efeito terapêutico global, 98,5 por cento dos pacientes observados apresentaram eficácia terapêutica entre excelente e boa. A incidência de efeitos colaterais foi reduzida (3,1 por cento) e, na maioria das vezes, de natureza local (2,18 por cento) e de leve intensidade. Os efeitos colaterais sistêmicos relatados ocorreram, quase na totalidade das vezes, em pacientes com tratamento cocomitante. Este amplo estudo confirma que Cataflam Emulgel é, na prática diária, altamente indicado pra o tratamento tópico das condiçöes dolorosas e inflamatórias do sistema músculo-esquelético

ABSTRACT

Se presentan los resultados encontrados en 23 pacientes con desórdenes musculoesqueléticos agudos, de diferente localización, tratados con Piroxicam I.M. durante los primeros tres días y seguidos con Piroxicam oral por cuatro días más. La evaluación por parte de los investigadores considerará los parámetros de dolor, tumefacción y limitación del movimiento y autoevaluación del dolor por escala suministrada al paciente. Veintiuno de los 23 casos (91.3 por ciento) mostraron una evaluación muy buena y excelente a los siete días del tratamiento. Como efectos secundarios que justificaron la descontinuidad del tratamiento, se presentó solo en un paciente por reacción de urticaria. Dos casos que presentaron gastritis inicial, pudieron finalizar el estudio sin mayores efectos, continuando la terapia. Los autores concluyeron que el uso inicial de Piroxicam I.M. seguido por vía oral es efectivo y bien tolerado en el tratamiento de trastornos musculoesqueléticos agudos.
