ABSTRACT

Background: The testicular cancer prevails in the third decade of life, the care cost increases with higher staging of the disease. Objective: Compare the direct costs of medical and surgical attention for testicular cancer in early and advanced stages in a Third Level Medical Facility. Material and Methods: Process study, direct costs of medical attention are evaluated. Number of laboratory studies, imaging studies, and medical and surgical treatment were analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 early stages and group 2 advanced stages. Mann Whitney U test was used for the difference between groups. Results: There were 10 patients in each group, Group 1: 8 (80%) seminomas and 2 (20%) non-seminoma, Group 2: 4 (40%) seminomas and 6 (60%) non-seminomas. The average cost of care in Group 2 is higher than in Group 1, 288,827.90 and 145,911.70 Mexican pesos respectively (p=0.00578). Conclusions: The direct cost of medical attention is higher in the advanced stages compared to the early stages (AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: La nucleotomía percutánea es una técnica de descompresión discal aprobada por la FDA que ha mostrado ser útil para mejorar el dolor causado por hernia discal. No obstante, su práctica se encuentra en discusión debido a que los beneficios de la técnica son controversiales. Objetivos: Describir los resultados de la evolución clínica de los pacientes con hernia discal lumbar baja (L4-L5, L5-S1) tratada mediante cirugía percutánea a un año de operados y mostrar que es una opción quirúrgica útil para el alivio de la sintomatología causada por esta entidad patológica. Material y métodos: Estudio de cohorte; presentamos la evolución clínica de 21 individuos con hernia discal lumbar tratados con nucleotomía percutánea manual durante Marzo 2011-Noviembre 2013. La evaluación fue hecha antes de la cirugía y a los cuatro, 30, 180 y 365 días después de operados mediante la escala numérica del dolor (END), índice de discapacidad funcional de Oswestry (IDO) y criterios de MacNab. Utilizamos estadística inferencial no paramétrica (Wilcoxon) para diferencias. Resultados: n = 21: seis (28.57%) hombres, 15 (71.42%) mujeres; edad promedio: 37.95 años (14-56), ± 10.60; el nivel vertebral más afectado: L4-L5, en 12 (57.14%) sujetos. La END preoperatoria promedio: 7.75 (5-9) ± 1.12; a los 365 días: promedio 2.14 (0-7) ± 2.37. El IDO preoperatorio promedio: 37% (28-40%) ± 3.06 y a los 365 días: 9.52% (0-40%) ± 13.92. El pronóstico (IDO) en el prequirúrgico fue bueno en cero (0%) personas y en 15 (71.42%) a los 365 días, regular en cinco (23.80%) y malo en una (4.78%) (p = 0.000 IC 95% 0.00-0.13, Wilcoxon); de acuerdo con los criterios de MacNab, en 15 (71.42%) casos fueron excelentes y buenos, pobres en cuatro (19.04%) y malos en dos (9.52%) (p = 0.00). Conclusiones: La nucleotomía percutánea ofrece buenos resultados para el tratamiento de las hernias discales lumbares (L4-L5, L5-S1) a los 365 días de operados los pacientes.


Abstract: Introduction: Percutaneous discectomy is a disc decompression technique approved by the FDA that is useful to improve pain caused by a herniated disc. However, its practice is under discussion because the benefits of the technique are controversial. Objectives: To describe the clinical course of patients with low lumbar disc herniation (L4-L5, L5-S1) treated by percutaneous surgery within one year of surgery and prove that it is a useful surgical option for the relief of symptoms caused by this pathological entity. Material and methods: Cohort study; the clinical course of 21 patients with lumbar disc herniation treated with percutaneous discectomy manually during March 2011-November 2013, is presented. The evaluation was made before surgery and at four, 30, 180 and 365 days after surgery by numerical pain scale (NPS), Oswestry (IDO) and MacNab criteria. We used nonparametric inferential statistics (Wilcoxon) for differences in proportions. Results: n = 21, six (28.57%) men, 15 (71.42%) women; average age: 37.95, (14-56) ± 10.60 years; the most affected vertebral level was L4-L5 in 57.14% of the patients; the NPS preoperative average was 7.75 (5-9) ± 1.12; at 365 days: average 2.14 (0-7) ± 2.37. The IDO preoperative average was 37% (28-40%) ± 3.06, and at 365 days: 9.52% (0-40%) ± 13.92. The prognosis (IDO) in the presurgical was good to zero (0%) patients and in 15 (71.42%) at 365 days, regular in five (23.80%) and poor in one (4.78%) (p = 0.00, CI 95% 0.00 to 0.13, Wilcoxon); according to MacNab criteria, in 15 (71.42%) patients were excellent and good, poor in four (19.04%) and bad in two (9.52%) (p = 0.00). Conclusions: Percutaneous discectomy provides good results for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (L4-L5, L5-S1) at 365 days after surgery.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Construir, validar y aplicar un instrumento para evaluar la aptitud clínica de los residentes de pediatría y urgencia ante los pacientes pediátricos con asma grave. Sujetos y métodos. Estudio observacional autorizado por el comité de investigación. El instrumento se construyó a través de cinco casos clínicos reales, validado por consenso de expertos en pediatría, urgencias e investigación educativa, obteniéndose una versión final de 150 ítems con una consistencia de 0,89. Se evaluaron 10 residentes de pediatría y 21 de urgencias. Se realizó un análisis estadístico no paramétrico. Resultados. La mayoría de los residentes (79,73%) se ubicaron en los niveles bajos-muy bajos de aptitud clínica, ninguno alcanzó niveles superiores. Las pruebas estadísticas no encontraron diferencias entre los grados académicos o la especialidad. Conclusiones. El instrumento construido tiene una adecuada consistencia. El proceso educativo al que se han sometido estos residentes parece no favorecer el desarrollo de reflexión, lo que podría limitar su práctica profesional real (AU)


Aim. To develop, validate and implement a tool to assess the clinical competence of pediatric residents and medical emergencies to pediatric patients with severe asthma. Subjects and methods. An observational study approved by the research committee. The instrument was built through five problematized clinical cases, validated by consensus by experts in pediatrics, emergency and educational research, obtaining a final version of 150 items with a consistency of 0.89. It evaluated 10 pediatric residents and 21 of emergency. We performed a non parametric statistical analysis Results. Most residents (79.73%) were located in low-very low levels of clinical competence, none reached higher levels. Statistical tests found no differences between academic degrees or specialty Conclusions. The educational process that these students have had seems to favor the development of reflection, which could limit its actual practice (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Determinar el patrón y la calidad de sueño predominante en médicos residentes de diferentes especialidades de un hospital regional, así como su relación con distintas variables especialmente con ansiedad, depresión y el consumo de sustancias. Métodos: Estudio observacional del tipo transversal en el que se aplicaron a médicos residentes los siguientes instrumentos: “Índice de calidad del sueño de Pittsburgh”, “Cuestionario para evaluar el consumo de sustancias” y “Escala de ansiedad y depresión de Goldberg”. También se recogió la edad, sexo, grado académico, especialidad, patrón de sueño, guardias realizadas, y trabajos y actividades familiares o sociales ajenas a la residencia. Se estudió si alguna variable se asociaba con un patrón corto de sueño o con una calidad mala-muy mala del mismo. Resultados: Participaron el 91,8% de los residentes de las especialidades de urgencias, anestesiología, cirugía, pediatría y medicina interna. La edad fue de 25,6 ± 2,6 años y el 53,6% eran varones. Tanto el patrón como la calidad del sueño se deterioraron significativamente tras iniciar la residencia (p < 0,001), donde el patrón fue corto en el 75,0% de los casos y la calidad mala-muy mala en el 32,2%. El 87,5% consumían café, el 51,8% bebidas alcohólicas, el 37,5% cigarrillos, el 46,4% mostraron rasgos de ansiedad y el 37,5% de depresión. Se encontró asociación significativa de los patrones de sueño corto y especialidad de urgencias (..) (AU)


Objectives: To determine the prevailing sleep pattern and perception of sleep quality among medical residents indifferent specialties at a regional hospital and to explore their relation with several variables, especially with anxiety, depression, and psychoactive substance use on the other. Methods: Cross-sectional observational survey of medical residents in Regional Hospital 25. The subjects gave their informed consent to participation. The instruments used were the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, a questionnaire on use of psychoactive substances, and the Goldberg anxiety and depression scale. Other variables explored were age, gender, year of residency training, specialty, sleep pattern, number of on-call days, outside work, and family or social obligations, and their relationship with the sleep pattern and quality. Results: In the specialties of emergency medicine, anesthesiology, surgery, pediatrics and internal medicine, a total of 91.80% of the residents participated. The mean (SD) age was 25.6 (2.6) years; 53.6% of the respondents were men. Sleep pattern and quality significantly worsened after residence sterting (p < 0.001), when short sleep pattern was present in 75.0% of residents and poor or very poor quality in 32,2%. Routine coffee drinking was reported by 87.5%,and 51.8% drank alcoholic beverages regularly; 37.5% were smokers. Signs of anxiety were detected in 46.4% and depression in 37.5%. A significant (AU)
