ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivo: Recientemente se vuelve a discutir sobre la implantación de la biopsia renal percutánea como procedimiento rutinario en el diagnóstico de masas renales. Sin embargo, aunque infrecuentes, esta técnica no está exenta de complicaciones y morbilidad. Nuestro objetivo es realizar un estudio descriptivo de las complicaciones y resultados de las biopsias renales ortotópicas con aguja de 16 G. Material y métodos: Llevamos a cabo una revisión retrospectiva de 180 biopsias renales ortotópicas ecodirigidas realizadas en nuestro servicio entre enero de 2008 y mayo de 2010. La técnica se realiza utilizando una aguja de diámetro 16 G acoplada a una pistola automática. Se recogen múltiples variables clínicas, así como las complicaciones tempranas derivadas del procedimiento y la actitud adoptada respecto a ellas. Se estudió la tasa de complicaciones, así como la relación entre factores de riesgo y aparición de complicaciones. Resultados: La edad media fue de 55,8 años, obteniéndose una media de 2,49 cilindros por intervención. La tasa global de complicaciones fue del 5,6%. Únicamente en 3 (1,67%) pacientes de los 180 fue necesaria una actitud intervencionista derivada de complicación del procedimiento. No hubo necesidad de intervenciones quirúrgicas ni se produjeron fallecimientos derivados del procedimiento. No se demostró relación entre HTA (p = 0,09), anticoagulación previa (p = 0,099) o antiagregación previa (p = 0,603) y complicaciones. El 2,8% de las biopsias presentaron material insuficiente para el diagnóstico. Conclusiones: La biopsia renal percutánea ecodirigida con aguja de 16 G es una técnica segura y con una rentabilidad diagnóstica elevada


Introduction and objective: The development of percutaneous renal biopsy as a routinary diagnostic procedure for renal masses is topic of discussion for the last few years. However, this technique has been associated with some complications, although infrequent, and morbidity. Our objective is to carry out a descriptive study about complications and outcomes of orthotopic kidney biopsies with 16 G needle. Material and methods: A retrospective review of 180 orthotopic ultrasound-guided renal biopsies performed in our service among January 2008 to May 2010 was carried out. The procedure was developed using an automated biopsy gun (16G needle). Multiple clinical variables, early post-procedure complications and its management were collected. Complication rates as well as the relationship between risk factors and occurrence of complications were studied. Results: Mean age was 55.8 years. The average number of biopsy cylinders per intervention was 2.49. The overall complication rate was 5.6%. An interventionist attitude derived from complication of the procedure was necessary in only 3 patients (1.67%). No surgical interventions were required and no death as consequence of procedure was registered. No relationship between hypertension (P = .09) previous anticoagulation (P = .099) or previous antiaggregation (P = .603) and complications were demonstrated. In 2.8% of biopsies the material obtained was insufficient for diagnosing. Conclusions: Percutaneous ultrasound-guided renal biopsy with 16G needle is a safe technique with high diagnostic performance

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar las variables que influyen en la calidad de vida de pacientes tratados mediante cistectomía radical y conducto ileal. Material y método: Analizamos la calidad de vida utilizando el cuestionario EQ-5D-3L, que valora movilidad, cuidado personal, actividades cotidianas, dolor/malestar, ansiedad/depresión y una escala de autoevaluación del estado de salud. Comparamos los resultados con variables demográficas (sexo, edad, situación laboral, estudios, ingresos, pareja) y clínicas (clasificación ASA, estadio tumoral, tiempo desde la realización de la cistectomía, quimioterapia adyuvante, recidiva y complicaciones del estoma). El análisis estadístico incluyó estudio descriptivo, análisis univariante y multivariante. Resultados: Cincuenta y nueve pacientes incluidos, con una media de edad de 69 años (47-84). El tiempo medio desde la cistectomía es de 43 meses (12-83), con un porcentaje de complicaciones asociadas al estoma del 61%.Las complicaciones del estoma se relacionaron con limitaciones en el cuidado personal, dolor/malestar, ansiedad, depresión y calidad de vida en general. El sexo femenino se asocia con limitaciones en las actividades cotidianas y la quimioterapia adyuvante lo hace con la ansiedad/depresión y con la calidad de vida en general. El resto de variables no alcanzaron significación estadística en el análisis multivariante. Conclusiones: Las limitaciones en la calidad de vida en pacientes con cistectomía y conducto ileal se asocian con las complicaciones asociadas al estoma. Otras variables relacionadas son el sexo femenino y la administración de quimioterapia adyuvante


Objective: To determine the variables that affect quality of life of patients treated by radical cystectomy with ileal conduit. Material and method: We analyzed quality of life using the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. This questionnaire evaluates mobility, personal care, daily activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression and a self-rating scale of the health condition. We compared the result with demographic variables (gender, age, work situation, studies, income, partner) and clinical variables (ASA classification, tumor stage, time since cystectomy was performed, adjuvant chemotherapy, recurrent and complications of the stoma). The statistical analysis included a descriptive study, univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: A total of 59 patients were included in the study, with a mean age of 69 years (47-84). Mean time from cystectomy was 43 months (12-83), with 61% complications associated to the stoma. Stoma complications were related with limitations in personal care, pain/discomfort, anxiety, depression and quality of life in general. Female gender was associated with limitations in daily activities and adjuvant chemotherapy with anxiety/depression and quality of life in general. The rest of the variables were not statistically significant in the multivariate analysis. Conclusions: The limitations in quality of life in patients with cystectomy and ileal conduit are associated with the stoma-associated complications. Other related variables are female gender and administration of adjuvant chemotherapy

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To assess the relationship between mechanical preparation of the bowel before endourological surgery and the occurrence of postoperative complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective, randomized study was conducted in 162 patients undergoing TUR of the bladder, TURP, and lase adenomectomy from October 2008 to February 2009. No patient was excluded. An enema was administered before surgery to 66 patients, but not to the remaining patients. Variables analyzed included occurrence of urinary tract infection (UTI), fever, acute urinary retention (AUR), postoperative need for enemas or laxatives, surgical field contamination, and mean hospital stay. A descriptive analysis, a means comparison (t test), and a Chi-square test were performed. RESULTS: Mean patient age was 70.5 years (SD+/-10.62), and mean hospital stay 4.8 days (SD+/-3.9). UTI occurred in 6.2% of patients, fever in 3.1%, and AUR in 1.2%, and 15.4% of patients required enemas or laxatives. Fecal contamination of the surgical field was found in one patient (0.6%). There were no statistically significant differences between the study groups in the variables analyzed. CONCLUSIONS: In our series, bowel preparation using enema has shown no value for decreasing postoperative complications of endourological surgery.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Determinar la relación entre la preparación mecánica intestinal previa a la cirugía endourológica y la existencia de complicaciones postoperatorias. Material y métodos: Diseñamos un estudio prospectivo y aleatorizado con 162 pacientes intervenidos mediante RTU vesical, RTU prostática y adenomectomía láser entre octubre de 2008 y febrero de 2009, sin excluir a ningún paciente. A 66 pacientes se les administró un enema previo a la cirugía y a los restantes no. Analizamos la incidencia de infección urinaria (ITU), fiebre, retención aguda de orina, necesidad de enemas o laxantes durante el postoperatorio, contaminación del campo quirúrgico y la estancia media. Realizamos un análisis descriptivo, comparación de medias (t test) y chi cuadrado. Resultados: La edad media fue de 70,5 años (DS±10,62) y la estancia media fue de 4,8 días (DS±3,9). Un 6,2% de los pacientes tuvo ITU, un 3,1% tuvo fiebre, un 1,2% presentó retención aguda de orina y el 15,4% necesitó enemas o laxantes. Se recogió un caso de contaminación con heces del campo quirúrgico (0,6%). No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas para las variables analizadas entre ambos grupos de estudio. Conclusiones: En nuestra serie, la preparación intestinal mediante el empleo de enemas no ha demostrado utilidad para disminuir complicaciones durante el postoperatorio de cirugía endourológica (AU)

ABSTRACT

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) translation initiation depends on an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). We previously identified an RNA molecule (HH363-10) able to bind and cleave the HCV IRES region. This paper characterizes its capacity to interfere with IRES function. Inhibition assays showed that it blocks IRES activity both in vitro and in a human hepatoma cell line. Although nucleotides involved in binding and cleavage reside in separate regions of the inhibitor HH363-10, further analysis demonstrated the strongest effect to be an intrinsic feature of the entire molecule; the abolishment of either of the two activities resulted in a reduction in its function. Probing assays demonstrate that HH363-10 specifically interacts with the conserved IIIf domain of the pseudoknot structure in the IRES, leading to the inhibition of the formation of translationally competent 80S particles. The combination of two inhibitory activities targeting different sequences in a chimeric molecule may be a good strategy to avoid the emergence of resistant viral variants.

ABSTRACT

Radical cystoprostatectomy is accepted as the standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. During last years the indications for orthotopic neobladders have increased due to their advantages over other kind of diversions. Hautmann neobladder is one of the most commonly used. Several modifications have been later described. For example, after perform the W-shape pouch ureters can be anastomosed to a not-detubularized bowel segment (chimney modification). Here is described a modification of the Hautmann neobladder with two chimneys. Each ureter is spatulated in a golf club manner and anastomosed to the open end of each bowel loop. This kind of anastomosis provides several advantages. It is possible to use shorter ureteral segments by increasing the length of bowel used. It allows an anastomosis without tension, and less ischemia so the risk of stenosis and fistula is decreased. It is not necessary to perform additional enterothomies and in case of reintervention it is easier to access each anastomosis without damaging the other one.

ABSTRACT

La cistoprostatectomía radical es el tratamiento de elección para el cáncer vesical infiltrante. En los últimos años las indicaciones de sustitución vesical se han ampliado debido a las ventajas que aportan sobre otros tipos de derivaciones siendo la neovejiga ileal descrita por Hautmann una de las más utilizadas. Posteriormente se han descrito diversas modificaciones de la técnica original como la utilización de un segmento de asa sin detubulizar a modo de chimenea a la cual se anastomosan los uréteres. Presentamos una variante técnica de la neovejiga de Hautmann utilizando dos “chimeneas” anastomosando cada uréter a la luz previamente abierta de cada asa espatulando el uréter a modo de “palo de golf” para adaptar los calibres. Entre las ventajas de este tipo de anastomosis destacan la utilización de segmentos ureterales más cortos adaptando la longitud del asa lo que posibilita una anastomosis sin tensión y minimiza la isquemia disminuyendo por tanto la aparición de fístulas y estenosis. No precisa la realización de enterotomías adicionales y se facilita el acceso a cada anastomosis por separado en caso de necesidad de reintervención (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Describir los aspectos más relevantes de la litiasis blanda, un tipo de litiasis infrecuente y poco descrita desde el uso generalizado de la litotricia extracorpórea. MÉTODO: A raíz del caso clínico descrito, se analiza la bibliografía más importante encontrada mediante búsqueda a través de MEDLINE (1950-1999). Nos centraremos en la fisiopatología y la etiología de estos cálculos para comprender el desarrollo y la clínica mostrada por estos enfermos. RESULTADOS: La litiasis urinaria blanda es una entidad muy infrecuente, descrita hace casi ya un siglo. Compuesta fundamentealmente de matriz litiásica, el porcentaje de contenido mineral es francamente bajo comparado con el de las litiasis habituales. La infección persistente de la orina es otra constante en este tipo de enfermos, la cual condiciona, en cierta manera, la modificación de los componnentes urinarios usuales, creando una serie de alteraciones en la vía excretora que favorece la agregación de los componentes de la matriz litiásica hasta formar un cálculo en sí, sin necesidad de la agragación de cristales mineralizados. CONCLUSIÓN: Para el diagnóstico de litiasis blanda es preciso un alto índice de sospecha, ya que no se revela con la clínica habitual de cualquier cálculo renal. Para el tratamiento, el lavado exhaustivo de las cavidades caliciales y la desaparición de la bacteriuria son elementos fundamentales para evitar la recidiva de la enfermedad (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To describe the most relevant features of matrix lithiasis, an infrequent type of lithiasis seldom reported since the generalization of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. METHODS: We report a clinical case and analyze the most important bibliography found by MEDLINE search (1950-1999). We will focus on the physiopathology and etiology of these stones to understand its development and the clinical presentation showed by these patients. RESULTS: Matrix lithiasis is a very rare entity, described almost one century ago. It is mainly composed of lithiasis matrix, and the percentage of mineral content is really low in comparison with usual stones. Persistent urinary tract infection is another constant in these patients, which to some extent conditions the modification of the usual urinary components, creating a series of the disturbances within the urinary tract that favour the aggregation of the components of the lithiasis matrix up to the formation of a stone, without need of aggregation of mineralized crystals. CONCLUSIONS: A high degree of suspicion is necessary for the diagnosis of matrix lithiasis, because it does not show the usual clinical picture of a renal stone. Exhaustive lavage of caliceal cavities and elimination of bacteriuria are essential elements for treatment, in order to avoid recurrence of the disease.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To review our experience with cadaveric kidney transplantation with ex situ reconstruction of damaged renal artery. METHODS: To obtain a minimum follow-up of 5 years, 20 cases treated from January 1989 to December 1994 were retrospectively reviewed. The control group comprised 73 patients that had received an "ideal" graft during the same period. Both groups were similar for all the variables that could influence graft outcome. RESULTS: Both groups showed similar results for incidence of NTA, rejection episodes, creatinine values, surgical complications or reoperations. However, a strong trend (25% of the cases) to develop renal artery stenosis was found (p = 0.052). These latter cases were diagnosed by the onset of arterial hypertension that was difficult to control and were treated conservatively by percutaneous angioplasty with good functional results in 100% of the cases, although 80% required more than one session. This complication, however, did not lead to graft failure. CONCLUSIONS: Renal grafts with arteries damaged during procurement or as a result of pathological changes, such as arteriorclerosis or aneurysm, are useful after bench reconstruction before transplantation. However, the greater trend to develop symptomatic arterial stenosis that has been observed makes it convenient to look for this complication routinely during follow-up. If diagnosed and treated early, it does not influence the graft outcome. The therapeutic approach is first by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and if it fails, then by open surgery.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La función de un Servicio de Psiquiatría puede considerarse doble: actividad 'primaria" (propia de cualquier servicio médico) y "secundaria" (aspectos sociales y legales). Sobre estas bases, y teniendo en cuenta la experiencia de otras especialidades, el desarrollo de programas y protocolos se perfila como fundamental para la buena praxis y gestión de un Servicio de Psiquiatría. Objetivos: 1. Facilitación del acercamiento de recursos a la población y mantenimiento máximo de los pacientes en su entorno familiar. 2. Optimización del rendimiento de los recursos y mejora en los indicadores de actividad (estancia media -EM- por "grupos relacionados con el diagnóstico" -GRD-) y en la relación coste-efectividad.Material y método: Apoyándose en la "dirección participativa por objetivos" (DPO). el trabajo en equipo, la autonomía de gestión y siguiendo la "teoría del mando situacional", se desarrolló y publicó una Guía de Programas y Actuaciones Protocolizadas en la Práctica Clínica Psiquiátrica. aplicada progresivamente en nuestro Servicio entre 1994 y 1999. En Enero de 1998 se introdujo un subprograma de Hospital de Día (HD), creándose una unidad mixta (agudoslsubagudos) con los mismos recursos. Resultados: Se obtuvo una reducción de la EM de 21,1 días (1993) a 14,88 (1997) y a 7,1 (1999). La EM por GRDs de todos los procesos fue significativamente inferior a la de otros hospitales del mismo nivel. Se produjo un ahorro de 54 millones de pesetas en costes. Conclusiones: 1.
