Medicamentos inductores a reacciones cutáneas severas reportados en países de Iberoamérica / Severe cutaneous adverse reactions drugs reported in Ibero-American countries

Objetivos: Identificar los medicamentos inductores a reacciones adversas cutáneas severas que se han reportado hasta el año 2020 en países de Iberoamérica, identificando los medicamentos inductores que se asocian a cada síndrome (SSJ, NET, DRESS y PEAG). Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, no experimental. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura médica relacionada a los medicamentos inductores de reacciones adversas cutáneas severas en Iberoamérica, expuesta en la base de datos PubMed, Scopus, Scielo y Google académico, limitando la búsqueda a artículos publicados en español y sin límites de tiempo. 27 de 574 publicaciones identificaron los medicamentos inductores a reacciones adversas cutáneas severas, excluyendo los casos de estas reacciones en las que no se especificó su asociación secundaria a medicamentos. Resultados: Los hallazgos incluyeron reportes de los siguientes países: Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala, México, Paraguay, Ecuador, Perú y España. Entre los medicamentos inductores a reacciones adversas cutáneas severas reportados, se incluyeron aquellos pertenecientes a diversos grupos terapéuticos: anticonvulsivos, AINES, inhibidores de la xantina oxidasa, antimicrobianos, antirretrovirales, sales de oro y antagonistas de canales de calcio, todos ellos con un pronóstico entre grave y mortal. Conclusiones: Se determinó que los medicamentos inductores a reacciones adversas cutáneas severas comprendieron una amplia variedad, pertenecientes a diversos grupos terapéuticos, siendo los más frecuentes: anticonvulsivantes, alopurinol y algunos antibióticos. No se observó una tendencia específica de algún medicamento por país o región. (AU)

Aim: Identify induce severe skin reaction´s drugs that have been reported up to 2020 in Iberoamerican countries, recognizing the associated drugs with each syndrome (SSJ-NET, DRESS and AGEP). Data selection and methodology: A retrospective, non-experimental study was performed based on a systematic review of the medical literature related to induce sever skin reation´s drugs available in the databases of PubMed, Scopus, Scielo and Google scholar. The search and data selection were limited on reviewed articles published in Spanish, with no time limit. 27 of 574 clinical cases identified the drugs that induce serious skin reactions, excluding the cases of patients with skin reactions that do not specify whether they are secondary to drugs. Results: The findings included the report from the following countries: Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Ecuador, Peru and Spain. The reported drugs that cause server skin reactions, belong to the following therapeutic groups: anticonvulsants, antibacterials, antiretrovirals, minocycline, lamotrigine, gold sales, beta-lactams, macrolides, quinolones, antifungals, calcium channel blockers, protease inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and acetaminophen; presenting pharmacological interactions, all of them between serious and fatal prognosis. Conclusions: When comparing the findings, it was determined that the drugs that cause server skin reactions belong to many diverse therapeutic groups, being the more frequently: anticonvulsants, alopurinol and some antibiotics. No specific tendency was found related on a specific drug reported on the analyzed countries. (AU)

Draft Genome Sequence of Streptomyces sp. Strain C8S0, Isolated from a Highly Oligotrophic Sediment.

Streptomyces spp. are prolific bacteria producing bioactive metabolites. We present the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. strain C8S0, which was isolated from a highly oligotrophic sediment from the Cuatro Cienegas Basin (Mexico). The whole-genome assembly comprised 6,898,902 bp, with 18 biosynthetic gene clusters, including those for nonconventional terpenes, nonribosomal peptides, and polyketides.

Medical and nutritional treatment in adult patients with acute intestinal failure. / Tratamiento médico y nutricional en el paciente adulto con fallo intestinal agudo.

Acute intestinal failure is a reversible clinical condition characterised by reduced intestinal function, which requires the intravenous supplementation of nutrients, water and/or electrolytes for weeks or months to maintain an optimal state of health. Acute intestinal failure occurs mainly in postsurgical patients who have undergone abdominal operations or are critically ill and have organ dysfunction. These patients' medical and nutritional management can be a complex and prolonged process due to the associated complications such as electrolyte imbalances, malnutrition, sepsis and metabolic disorders. Medical treatment is focused on preventing and controlling sepsis, restoring fluids and electrolytes and rehabilitating the intestine. Nutritional therapy seeks to attenuate protein catabolism, prevent nutritional deficiencies and metabolic disorders and optimise the nutritional state. This review seeks to provide updated and useful information on the management of acute intestinal failure.
