RESUMEN

RESUMEN
This report presents a rare case of a giant Nevus Lipomatosus Cutaneous Superficialis (NLCS) on the vulva of a 38-year-old female. The patient underwent excisional surgery and electrodesiccation for complete lesion removal. Recurrence following CO2 laser treatment was observed. The study highlights the challenges in managing large NLCS lesions in challenging locations and emphasizes the importance of combining surgical excision and electrodesiccation for successful treatment. Further research and reported cases are needed to enhance our understanding of this rare condition and guide optimal treatment strategies.
RESUMEN
Connor O'Malley es un chico de 12 años que padece del síndrome del cuidador debido a la enfermedad terminal de su madre; sus temores se materializan y cobran vida constituyendo de manera fantástica un temible monstruo que tiene como propósito sacar a la luz sus más profundos temores y sentimientos. Todo paciente con enfermedad terminal al dejar de ser independiente requiere atención de cuidadores que aseguren su bienestar y en muchas ocasiones los cuidadores son miembros de la familia. El síndrome del cuidador es una condición provocada por el cuidado extenuante de un familiar dependiente. Este síndrome se manifiesta en respuesta a un estrés emocional y se caracteriza por el agotamiento tanto físico como psicológico. Al constituirse como una entidad ecobiopsicosocial, la salud humana es resultado del bienestar en cada esfera, de modo que, cuando existe afectación de tan solo una de ellas, la salud de un individuo puede afectarse, como sucede en el síndrome del cuidador. El síndrome del cuidador en Connor es el tema del presente artículo, así como lo son los potenciales medios para su abordaje. (AU)
Connor O'Malley is a 12-year-old boy suffering from caregiver syndrome due to his mother's terminal illness; his fears materialize and come to life in a fantastic way constituting a fearsome monster whose purpose is to bring to light his deepest fears and feelings. Every terminally ill patient, when becoming no longer independent, requires care from caregivers who may ensure their well-being, and in many cases the caregivers are family members. Caregiver Syndrome is a condition caused by the strenuous care of a dependent family member. This syndrome manifests in response to emotional stress and is characterized by both physical and psychological exhaustion. By establishing itself as an ecobiopsychosocial entity, human health is the result of well-being in each sphere, so that, when only one of them is affected, the health of an individual can be affected, as occurs in caregiver syndrome. The caregiver syndrome in Connor is the subject of this article, as are the potential means for its approach. (AU)

Resumen El presente artículo informa de una investigación cuyo objetivo fue definir las estrategias para empoderar a las mujeres mexicanas en sus decisiones de planificación familiar y de establecer compromisos y responsabilidades con sus parejas. Se realizó una revisión sistemática, incluyendo PubMed, Redalyc y Scopus, y se incluyeron diez artículos originales de dos continentes y diversas poblaciones. De los estudios realizados en México y Latinoamérica ninguno proporcionó una propuesta para implementar mejoras en la adopción de un método de planificación familiar entre las mujeres que viven violencia de pareja. Se concluye que la capacitación y formación bioética del personal de salud puede abonar a lograr que el proceso de información y decisión por parte de la mujer o de la pareja sean llevados a cabo con apego a la bioética, buscando el beneficio individual y protección del bienestar de la mujer y, por ende, de su familia.
Abstract This article reports on research aimed at defining strategies to empower Mexican women in their family planning decisions and to establish commitments and responsibilities with their partners. A systematic review was conducted, including PubMed, Redalyc and Scopus, and ten original articles from two continents and diverse populations were included. Of the studies conducted in Mexico and Latin America, none provided a proposal to implement improvements in the adoption of a family planning method among women who experience intimate partner violence. It is concluded that bioethical training and education of health personnel can contribute to ensure that the information and decision-making process by the woman or the couple is carried out in accordance with bioethics, seeking individual benefit and protection of the wellbeing of the woman and, therefore, of her family.
Resumo O presente artigo informa sobre uma pesquisa cujo objetivo foi definir as estratégias para empoderar as mulheres mexicanas em suas decisões de planejamento familiar e de estabelecer compromissos e responsabilidades com seus companheiros. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática, incluindo PubMed, Redalyc e Scopus, e se incluíram dez artigos originais de dois continentes e diversas populações. Dos estudos realizados no México e na América Latina nenhum proporcionou uma proposta para implementar melhorias na adoção de um método de planejamento familiar entre as mulheres que sofrem violência conjugal. Conclui-se que a capacitação e formação bioética do pessoal de saúde pode lograr alcançar que o processo de informação e decisão por parte da mulher ou do casal sejam levados a cabo com apego à bioética, buscando o beneficio individual e a proteção do bem estar da mulher e, por conseguinte, de sua família.
