RESUMO

Introducción: La pubertad se define como el periodo de transición entre la infancia y la edad adulta, en el que se obtiene la maduración sexual completa, con la aparición de caracteres sexuales secundarios. Su desarrollo precoz es un motivo frecuente de consulta en endocrinología infantil. Se debe diferenciar de otros fenómenos, como la pubertad adelantada y las formas incompletas de pubertad precoz. Nuestro objetivo ha sido conocer la verdadera incidencia de la pubertad precoz entre los niños remitidos a nuestra consulta por presentar precocidad sexual, analizando y describiendo sus características. Pacientes y métodos: Revisión retrospectiva de 83 niños remitidos por sospecha de pubertad precoz desde septiembre de2005 a septiembre de 2007. Resultados: La mayoría de los casos remitidos eran niñas, con una edad media de 7,6 años. El signo predominante en la primera exploración fue la pubarquia, observado en el 63% de los casos. Se diagnosticó una pubertad precoz central idiopática a 15 (todas ellas mujeres) de los 83 pacientes, sin identificaren ninguna de ellas una causa orgánica desencadenante. Se decidió iniciar tratamiento en 10 de esas 15 pacientes. Un 82% de los pacientes remitidos presentaron formas incompletas de pubertad precoz, y el diagnóstico más frecuente fue el de pubarquia precoz aislada (18 casos). Conclusiones: El desarrollo de caracteres sexuales secundarios a una edad temprana puede ser motivo de derivación a la consulta de endocrinología. El seguimiento evolutivo de estos pacientes, junto con el conocimiento de los diferentes marcadores clinicorradiológicos, nos permitirá discernir si nos encontramos ante un caso de pubertad precoz o ante alguna de sus formas incompletas. La elaboración de protocolos conjuntos con atención primaria facilitaría el seguimiento de muchos de los pacientes, derivando al servicio de endocrinología infantil a los casos que así lo requieran por su cuadro evolutivo (AU)


Introduction: Puberty is defined as the transition period between childhood and the adult age in which complete sexual maturation is reached, with the secondary hypergynescomia. Its precocious development is a frequent reason of consultation with childhood endocrinology specialist. It shall be differentiated of other phenomena as the anticipated puberty and incomplete precocious puberty. The aim of our study is to know the real incidence of precocious puberty among the children referred by sexual precociousness, analyzing and describing their characteristics. Patients and methods: A retrospective review of 83 children referred by a Primary Care pediatrician with the suspicion of precocious puberty between September 2005 and September 2007. Results: Most of the cases were girls, with a mean age of consultation of 7.6 years. The most common sign in the clinical exploration was pubarche, observed in 63% of the patients. Central idiopathic precocious puberty was diagnosed in 15 of the 83 patients, all of them girls, not identifying in none of the patients an organic trigger. It was decided to start pharmacological in 10 of the 15 girls. 82% of the patients presented incomplete forms of precocious puberty, being the most frequent diagnosis the precocious pubarche (18 cases). Conclusions: The development of secondary sexual characters in early age may be a reason for derivation to the consultation of the pediatric endocrinologist. The clinical tracking of these patients and the knowledge of the different clinical-radiological markers, will allow us to discern if we are in front of areal case of precocious puberty or some of its incomplete forms. The elaboration of common protocols with Primary Care Units would facilitate the follow-up of most of these patients; referring them to Pediatric Endocrinology Unit only the patients who are considered due to their evolutionary picture are considered (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: Ante el progresivo aumento del número de niños inmigrantes en las Urgencias de Pediatría, planteamos si estos pacientes presentan características de manejo particulares que requieran cambios en nuestra sección para mejorar su atención. Material y método: Estudio descriptivo, prospectivo, en el que se recoge mediante encuesta datos demográficos y clínicos de una muestra de 307 atenciones a inmigrantes (I) o hijos de inmigrantes (HI) durante un período de 6 meses. Se recogen los mismos datos de un grupo control de 127 atenciones de pacientes no inmigrantes (NOI). Resultados: El 47% del grupo de I+HI proceden de países hispanoparlantes. Del resto, el 13%, de los padres presentan severas dificultades con el idioma o no lo hablan. La mayoría son HI (63%), con un tiempo medio de residencia en España de 44 meses. Al comparar ambas poblaciones, el grupo I+HI tiene pero control sanitario (8,8% no tiene tarjeta sanitaria, 11,7% no tiene pediatra asignado y 11,1% no actualizado el calendario vacunal). Previamente consultan a su pediatra el 55% (Nol) vs 34,6% (NI+HI) (p<0,05). En general, el motivo de consulta, los diagnósticos al alta así como el número de ingresos es similar en ambos grupos. Durante el período de estudio se encontraron 3 casos de patología importada (paludismo) en el grupo I+HI. Conclusiones: Encontramos dificultades en el manejo de la población inmigrante, no tanto por la patología que presentan, sino por la barrera del idioma y el escaso control sanitario que sigue hasta un 10% de ellos. Por lo tanto, planteamos desarrollar mecanismos para mejorar la comunicación y facilitar los trámites de integración en los circuitos sanitarios normalizados. En contra de lo esperado, sus hábitos de utilización de las urgencias y la patología que presentan son similares a los de la población local (AU)


Introduction: Due to the progressive increase in the number of immigrant children in the Pediatric Emergency Service, we ask if these patients present specific characteristics in their management that require changes in our department to improve their care. Materials and methods: A descriptive and prospective study, in which, by means of a survey, the demographic and clinical information was collected form a sample of 307 cases of Immigrants (I) or Offspring of Immigrants (OI), over a period of 6 months. The same information was collected from a control group of 127 cases of Non-Immigrant patients (NI). Results: 47,8% of the I+OI group come form Spanish speaking countries. In 13% of the remaining, the parents have severe difficulty with the language or speak none at all. The majority are OI (63%), with an average time of residence in Spain of 44 months. When we compare both populations, the I+OI group have the worse health control (8,8% have no Sanitary Card, 11,7% have no assigned pediatrician and 11,1% do not have their vaccine record updated). 55% of the NI group consult their pediatrician in advance vs. 34,6% of the I+HI (p<0,05). In general, the reason for the consult, the final diagnosis as well as the number admitted is similar in both groups. During the period of the study 3 cases of imported pathology (malaria) were found in the I+OI group. Conclusions: We encountered difficulties in the management of the immigrant population, no so much because of the pathologies they presented, but because of the language barrier and the scarce sanitary control that continued in up to 10% of them. Therefore we propose to develop mechanisms to improve communication and facilitate the processes of integration in the ordinary sanitary circuits. Contrary to what was expected, the use of emergency service and the pathologies that they present are similar to the local population (AU)

RESUMO

We report the case of a 17-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department on several occasions due to palpitations, tachycardia, syncope, short spells of dizziness and light-headedness with complete spontaneous recovery, and hypertension. The patient had been evaluated by several specialists, and multiple complementary examinations had revealed no abnormalities that could explain the symptoms. Due to suspicion of orthostatic intolerance or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome with hypertension, the patient underwent a 60-degree tilt table test, which confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was successfully treated with bisoprolol. The physiopathological mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of this syndrome are reviewed.

RESUMO

Se presenta el caso clínico de una mujer de 17 años de edad que acude en reiteradas ocasiones a urgencias por palpitaciones, taquicardia, síncope, reacción vegetativa de escasa duración, con recuperación espontánea y completa y detección de cifras elevadas de presión arterial. Estudiada en diversas consultas de especialidades y tras múltiples exploraciones complementarias no se encontró patología que justificase el cuadro. Ante la sospecha de intolerancia ortostática o síndrome de taquicardia postural ortostática con hipertensión se realizó la prueba de estimulación con cama basculante a 60°, confirmándose el diagnóstico y comprobando la desaparición de los síntomas al iniciar tratamiento con bisoprolol. Se revisan los mecanismos fisiopatológicos, así como el diagnóstico y el tratamiento del mismo

RESUMO

Objetivos: Determinar cuáles son los factores determinantes de los valores de presión arterial (PA) clínica y ambulatoria en los niños hijos de padres hipertensos. Material y métodos: Se incluyeron en el estudio 108 niños y adolescentes( 51 mujeres) de edades comprendidas entre los 6 y 18 años. En todos los casos, el padre, la madre o ambos habían sido diagnosticados de hipertensión arterial (HTA) esencial. Se incluyeron los controles (54 mujeres) de edad similar. Las mediciones clínicas de PA fueron tomadas con un esfingomanómetro de mercurio, y la de PA ambulatoria (MAPA), con un monitor oscilométrico tipo «Spacelabs» 90207. Las mediciones se tomaron cada 20 minutos en el periodo de actividad(de 8.00 a 22.00 horas), y cada 30 minutos, en el de descanso(0.00 a 6.00 h). Se efectuó un estudio de regresión lineal múltiple para valorar los factores determinantes de los valores de PA clínica y ambulatoria, considerando como variables independientes la edad, el sexo, la talla, la obesidad, el peso derecién nacido (PRN) y el antecedente familiar de HTA. Resultados: El ser hijo de padres hipertensos es el principal determinante de los valores de PA sistólica (PAS) clínica y ambulatoria, cualquiera que sea el periodo considerado y, de los valores de PA diastólica (PAD) clínica y ambulatoria de 24 horas y del periodo de actividad, cuando otros parámetros como la edad, el sexo, el peso, la talla y el peso de recién nacido se incluyen en el estudio. Conclusiones: En la edad pediátrica, el ser hijos de padres hipertensos es un determinante para el desarrollo de HTA, y manifiesta su efecto en la PA ya en la segunda década de la vida; por ello, debe tenerse en cuenta en la valoración del control rutinario de salud


Objective: To determine which are the determinant factors of values of clinical and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) in children from hypertensive parents. Material and methods: 108 children and adolescent (51 girls)were included in the study between ages from 6 to 18 years old. In all cases, the father, mother or even both had been diagnosed of essential arterial hypertension. 105 controls(54 girls) were included in the study with similar age range and sex. The measures of clinical BP were taken with a mercurys phygmomanometer and the measures of ambulatory BP(ABPM) were taken with a "Spacelabs 90207" o scillometric set, taking measures every 20 minutes during the activity period (from 08:00 to 22:00 h) and every 30 minutes during the sleep period (from 00:00 to 06:00 h). A multiple lineal regression study was carried out in ordert o judge the determinant factors of values of clinical and ambulatory BP; considering as independent variables the age, sex, height, obesity , newborn's weight and the previous hypertension history within the family. Results: To be a son of hypertense parents is the main determinant of values of BP systolic (SBP) clinical and ambulatory systolic, which ever period considered, of values of BP diastolic(DBP) clinical and ambulatory of 24 h and of the activity period when other parameters as age, sex, height and the newborn's weight are included in the study. Conclusions: At the pediatric age, to be a son of hypertensive parents is a determinant factor for the hypertension development and shows its effect in the BP yet in the second decade of life. That's why this must be kept in mind when assessing the routine health control

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: According to current guidelines, hypertension in children should be treated with the same drugs as those used in adults, with adjustment of the dose to their body size. The term therapeutic orphans refers to the lack of information on how to use drugs in children. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the information in the International Vademecum (I-V) is sufficient for the correct use of antihypertensive drugs in children. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We reviewed the data on pediatric dosages of antihypertensive drugs in the I-V (44th and 45th editions). When there were several drugs for the same molecule, the last one marked with the Spanish Ministry of Health and Consumption's logo was selected. When information on a particular drug was not available, the entries for other drugs with the same active principle were reviewed. The information was compared with that provided by the Fourth Report of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program Working Group (NHBPEP). RESULTS: A total of 111 entries for 41 antihypertensive drugs were reviewed. Information on use in children is available for only 3 diuretics and 2 angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. The remaining entries either contain no information or indicate that the effectiveness and safety in children has not been evaluated. Some drugs are contraindicated in children. The Fourth Report of the NHBPEP includes pediatric dosages for 28 antihypertensive drugs. The Food and Drug Administration has authorized 10 antihypertensive drugs for use in children. CONCLUSIONS: The information in the V-I can be used to determine the correct dosage of only 5 antihypertensive drugs in children, making this age group authentic therapeutic orphans.

RESUMO

Objetivos: Determinar si los valores de presión arterial (PA) clínica y ambulatoria en los niños hijos de padres hipertensos son superiores respecto a los de los niños hijos de padres normotensos. Material y métodos: Se incluyeron en el estudio 108 niños y adolescentes (51 mujeres) de edades comprendidas entre los 6 y 18 años; en todos los casos, padre, madre o ambos habían sido diagnosticados de hipertensión arterial (HTA) esencial. Se incluyeron los controles (54 mujeres) de similar edad. Las medidas de PA clínicas fueron determinadas con un esfingomanómetro de mercurio, y la de PA ambulatoria (MAPA), con un monitor oscilométrico tipo «Spacelabs» 90207, las medidas se tomaron cada 20 minutos en el periodo de actividad (de las 8 a las 22 horas) y cada 30 minutos en el de descanso (de las 0 a las 6 horas). Se calculó la variabilidad circadiana como el cociente entre las medidas de día y de noche. Resultados: Los hijos de padres con HTA presentaron PA sistólica (PAS) y PA diastólica (PAD) clínicas mayores que los hijos de padres normotensos, siendo las diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Los valores de PAS y PAD ambulatorias también fueron mayores en los hijos de padres con HTA. Las diferencias alcanzaron significación estadística para la PAS ambulatoria cualquiera que sea el periodo considerado (24 horas, actividad y sueño); para la PAD ambulatoria, las diferencias alcanzaron significación estadística en los periodos de 24 horas y de actividad. No se establecieron diferencias en la variabilidad circadiana. Conclusiones: En la edad pediátrica, los hijos de padres hipertensos tienen valores mayores de PA que los hijos de padres normotensos, por ello, debe tenerse en cuenta en la valoración del control rutinario de salud


Objective: To determine whether the ambulatory and clinic blood pressure (BPI readings in children of hypertensive parents are higher than those of children of normotensive parents. Methods: One hundred eight children and adolescents (among them, 51 girls) between the ages of 6 and 18 years were included in the study. In every case, the father, the mother or both had been diagnosed as having essential hypertension. One hundred five controls (among them, 54 girls) in a similar age range were also included. In the clinical setting, the BP was measured using a mercury sphygmomanometer and the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed with a "Spacelabs" 90207 oscillometric devíce, which took measurements every 20 minutes duríng the activity period (from 8:00 to 22:00 ) hand every 30 minutes during the resting period (from 0:00 to 06:00 h). The circadian variation was calculated, as was the ratio between day time and night time measurements. Results: The children of parents with hypertension presented ignificantly higher clinic systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBPt) han the children of normotensive parents. The ambulatory SBP and DBP values were also higher in children whose parents were hypertensive. The differences reached statistical significance for the ambulatory SBP, regardless of the period being considered (24-h, activity or resting). For the ambulatory DBP, the differences were statistically significant in the 24-handactivity periods. No differences were observed in the circadian variation. Conclusion: During childhood and adolescence, the children of hypertensive parents have a higher BP than those of normotensive parents. Thus, this circumstance should be kept in mind when assessing their routine physical examination

RESUMO

Introducción: Según las guías, la hipertensión en los niños debe tratarse con los mismos fármacos usados en adultos ajustando las dosis al tamaño corporal. El término huérfano terapéutico se refiere a la falta de información sobre el uso de medicamentos en niños. El objetivo es investigar si el Vademécum Internacional (V-I) contiene información para el uso correcto de antihipertensivos en niños. Material y método: Revisión en el V-I de la posología pediátrica de antihipertensivos. Si existen varias especialidades para un fármaco se selecciona el del logotipo del Ministerio de Sanidad y Consumo más reciente. Si en una monografía no hay información, se revisan las de otras especialidades del mismo principio activo. La información se compara con la del 4.º informe del National High Blood Pressure Education Program Working Group (NHBPEP). Resultados: Se revisan 111 monografías de 41 fármacos con indicación de antihipertensivo. Sólo para 3 diuréticos y 2 inhibidores de la enzima conversora de angiotensina (IECA) hay información pediátrica. Las otras advierten de que no se ha establecido la eficacia y seguridad o no hacen referencia a niños. En algunos casos se contraindican. El 4.º informe del NHBPEP incluye dosificación pediátrica de 28 antihipertensivos. La Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tiene autorizados 10 antihipertensivos para uso en niños. Conclusiones: Con la información del V-I sólo es posible dosificar correctamente 5 antihipertensivos en niños, lo que los convierte en auténticos huérfanos terapéuticos
