RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Proximal humerus fractures are one of the main osteoporotic fractures. Choosing between conservative or surgical treatment is a controversial topic in the literature, as is the functional impact. The main aim of our study was to analyse whether patient comorbidities should influence the final therapeutic decision for these fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We collected data from 638 patients with proximal humerus fractures. The main variable collected was exitus. We also collected the following data: age, gender, type of fracture, laterality, type of treatment, production mechanism, comorbidities and the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) for each patient. The therapeutic indication used the criteria established by the Upper Limb Unit in our centre. We performed chi-square tests, Fischer's exact tests and Student's t-tests to compare the variables. We used the Kaplan-Meier method to analyse both the overall and disease-specific survival rates. We employed the Cox regression model to analyse factors associated with mortality. RESULTS: Patients with a CCI greater than 5 showed greater mortality (HR = 3.83; p < 0.001) than those with a CCI lower than 5. Within the patients who underwent surgery, those with a CCI higher than 5 had an increased mortality rate (HR = 22.6; p < 0.001) compared with those with a CCI lower than 5. Within the patients who received conservative treatment, those with a CCI over 5 showed greater mortality (HR = 3.64; p < 0.001) than those with a CCI under 5. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with proximal humerus fractures and associated comorbidities (CCI > 5) presented higher mortality than healthier patients. This mortality risk was greater in patients with comorbidities if surgical treatment was indicated rather than conservative treatment. Patient's comorbidities should be a fundamental parameter when planning the therapeutic strategy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 3.

RESUMO

Introducción:Las infecciones de transmisión sexual constituyen un grupo heterogéneo de enfermedades de extrema importancia para la salud pública mundial dada su magnitud, trascendencia y repercusión para el paciente, la familia y la sociedad. Afectan con mayor frecuencia a los adolescentes. Objetivo: Identificar conductas de riesgo asociadas a las ITS en la adolescencia. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio analítico de casos de estudio y control para evaluar conductas de riesgos asociadas a las ITS en adolescentes del policlínico California. Se aplicó un cuestionario semiestructurado y anónimo, para la recogida de información, los resultados fueron representados en tablas, calculándose pruebas de significación estadísticas. Resultados: El mayor número estudiado fue entre 18 y 19 años (47.0 por ciento); 50.5 por ciento presentaban cambios frecuentes de parejas; 48 por ciento mantenían relaciones sexuales desprotegidas; la percepción de riesgos de adquirir una ITS, tanto en el grupo de estudio y control fue de 23,2 por ciento y 40,3 por ciento respectivamente. Conclusiones: Las relaciones sexuales no protegidas y los cambios frecuentes de parejas constituyeron conductas sexuales de riesgos relacionadas con las Infecciones de Transmisión Sexual(AU)


Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections constitute a heterogeneous group of diseases of extreme importance for the world public health due to their magnitude, consequence, and repercussion for the patient, the family, and the society. Adolescents are more highly affected by them. Objective: To identify risky behaviors associated to STI in the adolescence. Material and Methods: An analytical case-control study was conducted to evaluate risky behaviors associated to STI in adolescents in California Polyclinic. A semi-structured and anonymous questionnaire was used to attain information, and the results were represented in charts in which significant statistics were calculated. Results: The greatest number studied was the one of 18 and 19 years of age (47.0 percent); 50.5 percent presented frequent changes in their couples; 48 percent maintained unprotected sexual relations; the risk perception of acquiring a STI both in the study and the control group was 23,2 percent and 40,3 percent, respectively. Conclusions: Unprotected sexual relations and frequent changes in couples were the risky sexual behaviors related to Sexually Transmitted Infections.

RESUMO

Introducción: la evaluación de la formación de los residentes de la especialidad de Medicina General Integral se realiza mediante las visitas de control a los procesos formativos que realizan las Facultades de Ciencias Médicas, por los elementos que aportan los educandos en el proceso de evaluación profesoral y mediante la reacreditación docente de los policlínicos docentes. Objetivo: caracterizar el estado actual de la evaluación de la formación de la especialidad de Medicina General Integral. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal, durante el primer semestre del año 2015, en los policlínicos docentes de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas Dr. Miguel Enríquez, el universo de estudio estuvo conformado por 100 residentes de MGI y los 13 jefes de los departamentos docentes de los policlínicos de los municipios de Regla, Guanabacoa, San Miguel del Padrón y el Cotorro, se utilizaron métodos teóricos y empíricos, así como cuantitativos y cualitativos. Resultados: la totalidad de los jefes de departamento docentes de los policlínicos le conceden importancia a la evaluación de la formación de la especialidad por su parte, los residentes consideran que estos procesos evaluativos garantizan mayor calidad de la formación y mejora la infraestructura y el funcionamiento de los servicios en los policlínicos. Conclusiones: la evaluación de la formación de la especialidad de Medicina General Integral está respaldado por los documentos normativos emanados por el Ministerio de Salud Pública(AU)


Introduction: The assessment of the residents training in the specialty of family medicine is carried out through visits to control the training processes carried out by the School of Medical Sciences, considering the elements provided by the students in the process of teacher evaluation and through the teacher re-accreditation of the polyclinic teachers. Objective: To characterize the present state of the assessment to the training in the specialty of family medicine. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was carried out during the first semester of 2015, in the School Polyclinic of Dr. Miguel Enríquez School of Medical Sciences. The universe of study consisted of 100 family medicine residents and the 13 heads of the Polyclinic teaching Departments of the municipalities of Regla, Guanabacoa, San Miguel del Padrón, and Cotorro, using theoretical and empirical methods whether quantitative and qualitative. Results: All the heads of teaching Departments of the Polyclinics gave importance to the assessment of the training in the specialty. On the other hand, the residents consider that these evaluative processes guarantee better quality of the training and improve the infrastructure and the operation of services in polyclinics. Conclusions: The assessment of the training in the specialty of family medicine is supported by the regulative documents issued by the Ministry of Public Health(AU)
