ABSTRACT

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo principal examinar la aplicación de la neutrosofía en el campo de las ciencias médicas, a través de una revisión bibliográfica narrativa. Se ha determinado que la neutrosofía se relaciona con áreas como la imagenología, el análisis clínico y la toma de decisiones en el diagnóstico y la gestión de la salud. La implementación de la neutrosofía en la toma de decisiones puede disminuir la probabilidad de cometer errores, tanto en aspectos administrativos como en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de enfermedades. La presencia de herramientas neutrosóficas en la tecnología médica resulta fundamental para superar dificultades y mejorar la eficiencia en la atención médica. La integración de sistemas de diagnóstico asistido por ordenador, información clínica y administrativa puede potenciar los flujos de trabajo, optimizando así la prestación de servicios médicos. La neutrosofía, al reducir la incertidumbre en la práctica médica, ofrece la posibilidad de revolucionar la forma en que se brinda atención médica. Su aplicación conlleva el potencial de transformar los procesos y mejorar la calidad de la atención, lo que implica un avance significativo en el campo de la medicina(AU)


The main objective of this study is to examine the application of neutrosophy in the field of medical sciences through a narrative literature review. It has been determined that neutrosophy is related to areas such as imaging, clinical analysis, and decision-making in diagnosis and health management. Implementing neutrosophy in decision-making can reduce the likelihood of errors, both in administrative aspects and in diagnosing and treating diseases. The presence of neutrosophic tools in medical technology is essential to overcome challenges and improve efficiency in healthcare. Integrating computer-assisted diagnosis systems, clinical and administrative information can enhance workflow, thereby optimizing the provision of medical services. By reducing uncertainty in medical practice, Neutrosophy offers the possibility to revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to establish new cut-off values for SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) variables in the obstetric population. METHODS: A prospective cohort study in pregnant and postpartum women admitted with systemic infections between December 2017 and January 2019. Patients were divided into three cohorts: Group A, patients with infection but without severe maternal outcomes (SMO); Group B, patients with infection and SMO or admission to the intensive care unit (ICU); and Group C, a control group. Outcome measures were ICU admission and SMO. The relationship between SIRS criteria and SMO was expressed as the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC), selecting the best cut-off for each SIRS criterion. RESULTS: A total of 541 obstetric patients were enrolled, including 341 with infections and 200 enrolled as the reference group (Group C). The patients with infections included 313 (91.7%) in Group A and 28 (8.2%) in Group B. There were significant differences for all SIRS variables in Group B, compared with Groups A and C, but there were no significant differences between Groups A and C. The best cut-off values were the following: temperature 38.2 °C, OR 4.1 (1.8-9.0); heart rate 120 bpm, OR 2.9 (1.2-7.4); respiratory rate 22 bpm, OR 4.1 (1.6-10.1); and leukocyte count 16,100 per mcl, OR 3.5 (1.6-7.6). CONCLUSIONS: The cut-off values for SIRS variables did not differ between healthy and infected obstetric patients. However, a higher cut-off may help predict the population with a higher risk of severe maternal outcomes.

ABSTRACT

La pesquisa activa en salud ha sido definida por Fernández Sacasas JA y Díaz Novás J, como el conjunto de acciones diagnósticas que tienden a identificar el estado de salud individual en grupos de población, con la finalidad de establecer los factores de riesgo existentes y descubrir tempranamente la morbilidad oculta, con el objetivo de ser incluidos en programas y de este modo, garantizar su seguimiento y atención continuada.1 Dicho concepto se patentiza en el Sistema Nacional de Salud Cubano, al hacer que la Atención Primaria de Salud sea la base angular del sistema, dándole accesibilidad a los servicios de salud a la totalidad de la población del país. Esto permite dar atención médica continua con un manejo integrador de sus problemas y sus determinantes sociales de salud. Es, por tanto, que en su concepción, desde que en el año 1984 se funda el Programa del Médico y la Enfermera de la Familia, la pesquisa activa que realizan los especialistas de la Medicina General

ABSTRACT

Es bien conocido que la ambigüedad de los metadatos en las publicaciones científicas registradas en las bases de datos de primer nivel es un problema global.(1) Las consecuencias de los errores en los metadatos de las publicaciones varían desde la no recuperación del documento a la hora de buscarlo hasta la falta de visibilidad de una institución en particular o de un país. (2) La producción científica de Cuba no escapa de estos errores tan frecuentes. En este caso vamos a referirnos especialmente a la base de datos Scopus, disponible desde principios del presente año para el sistema de salud de Cuba(AU)

ABSTRACT

Ten years after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, a 39-year-old man developed pancreatitis and, after recovery, presented with severe diarrhea. An image study showed barium contrast passing from the stomach to the colon. Before surgery, initial treatment consisted of parenteral nutrition and antibiotics. The patient then underwent robot-assisted resection of a gastrocolic fistula and omentoplasty. However, 72 h after surgery, the amount of suction drainage suggested that the fistulous track repair was leaking. Therefore, we decided to perform endoscopy to place a self-expanding covered stent at the gastroesophageal junction as well as a nasojejunal tube to continue nutritional supplementation. After the patient had fasted for 2 weeks, there was no evidence of leakage in the image studies. The patient was discharged after he had clinically improved, and the stent was removed at the end of 8 weeks. The combination of robot-assisted surgery and endoscopic management is effective for treating gastrocolic fistula.

ABSTRACT

Helicobacter pylori infection is relevant, due to its role in different gastric pathologies; there are several diagnostic methods, which are divided into invasive and non-invasive. In the first category histology has been considered the gold standard, while other methods include imprint with Gram stain and rapid urease test, which can produce dependable results. The aim of this study is to compare several available techniques for H. pylori diagnosis to know their sensitivity and specificity. We studied 88 patients, 50 women and 38 men, with age range from 17 to 83 years (48.8+/-14.3) from the Endoscopy Department of the 20 de Noviembre Medical Center; in all five to eight biopsies were taken from gastric mucosa to perform rapid urease test, Gram-stained imprint and histology. Endoscopic findings included gastritis (87.50%), pangastritis (2.30%) and another diagnoses (10.22%). Rapid urease test was positive in 40 patients and negative in 48, while imprint was 34 and 54, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity were as follows: rapid urease test, 84.8 and 78.5%, and imprint 75.8 and 83.6%, respectively. In conclusion, H. pylori diagnosis by rapid urease test is a dependable and quick method. On the other hand, imprint is useful but depends on the ability of the personnel who perform the test.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine a simplified method for nutritional status evaluation in surgical patients to identify patients prone to develop complications. METHODS: A prospective study was carried out to determine prognostic index of patients in whom major abdominal surgery was performed, based on nutritional assessment. We proposed a simplified and accessible method for daily evaluation of patients in any hospital even in an emergency setting. The following parameters were used: complete blood count (CBC); blood chemistry (BC); protrombine time (PT); total serum protein (TSP), and anthropometrics. RESULTS: Study population consisted of 200 patients divided in two groups depending on type of surgical intervention, i.e., emergency or elective procedure. Complications associated with different stages of malnourishment were analyzed by simplified nutritional assessment system. Of 200 patients analyzed, 123 had several stages of malnutrition, 62 were malnourished, complicated patients (50.41%), and 77 had adequate nutritional status; of these, 10 also had complications (12.99%). DISCUSSION: We were able to conclude that simplified nutritional assessment system is not a useful absolute predictive indicator of possible complications. However, some parameters could be useful to identify patients with nutritional depletion with tendency for post-surgical complications.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine advantages and disadvantages of manual vs mechanical sutures in colon surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study of clinical files of 84 colon surgery patients was conducted, to establish morbidity and mortality of these patients with special emphasis in length of surgical procedure and type of suture used during procedure (either manual or mechanical). RESULTS: Of 84 patients included in this study, manual suture was used in 70 (group 1) and mechanical suture in 14 (group 2). Most common preoperative diagnosis was diverticular disease in 22 cases (26.2%), 20 for group with manual suture, and two for group with mechanical suture. Most common surgical procedure was colectomy with ileoproctoanastomosis in group 1 and lower anterior resection with coloproctoanastomosis in group 2. Five cases presented complications (2.85%) with manual suture, while only one case presented complications in group 2 (7.14%). Main complications were dehiscence in group 1 and stenosis in group 2. DISCUSSION: There were no significant differences between both types of suture in terms of time of surgical procedure; there were no statistical differences for both techniques in terms of morbidity and mortality. However, there is shorter time of recovery in patients in whom mechanical suture was used with less tissue edema due to manipulation and less disability period.

ABSTRACT

Siendo la hidatidosis una enfermedad que cursa en forma asintomática durante gran parte de su evolución, el diagnóstico se plantea en el control ecográfico rutinario de las embarazadas, las cuales rara vez reportan síntomas. A través de un protocolo prospectivo de tratamiento de la hidatidosis en la embarazada, se intervinieron quirúrgicamente en nuestro servicio a 4 embarazadas durante el período abril de 1996, mayo de 1997. Las pacientes tenían 21, 41, 25, y 32 años de edad, su diagnóstico fue confirmado mediante ecografía abdominal y determinación de inmunoglobulinas específicas. Se les sometió a tratamiento quirúrgico a las 26, 38, 14 y 28 semanas, respectivamente, efectuándose quistectomía total y/o subtotal en todas sus lesiones. Todas las pacientes presentaban quistes fértiles. La evolución postoperatoria fue satisfactoria, sin complicaciones. En todos los casos se obtuvo finalmente recién nacidos de término sin complicaciones

ABSTRACT

Se comparan tres dimensiones psicosociales (eventos vitales, soporte social y percepción del control), entre un grupo de 40 sujetos que consultan en un policlínico de psiquiatría y tienen diagnósticos de trastorno depresivo y/o ansiedad y/o somatoforme, con un grupo equivalente de control. El grupo clínico presenta diferencias estadísticamente significativas del grupo control con un mayor puntaje en la escala de eventos vitales, puntaje menor en la de soporte social, baja expectativa de apoyo social y tendencia, en la percepción del control interpersonal, hacia la externalidad. Al analizar las relaciones entre las diferentes variables psicosociales, se aprecia que los eventos vitales son independientes de las otras dos, y que el soporte social y la percepción del control se hallan asociadas entre sí
