RESUMO

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension (PH) occurs in approximately one-third of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and is associated with reduced 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), and increased hospitalizations and mortality. Although the impact of RV dysfunction and PH has been well described in several types of ILD, data is scarce on antisynthetase syndrome. Therefore, we sought to examine the presence of RV dysfunction and PH in patients with antisynthetase syndrome and the impact on clinical outcomes. We conducted a retrospective study of patients with antisynthetase syndrome. Seventy-five subjects were identified. Fifty-one (68%) subjects had echocardiographic data. Patients were grouped into those with normal fractional area change (FAC) ≥ 35% and reduced FAC < 35%. Clinical, echocardiographic, and right heart catheterization data were compared between the two groups. Subjects with FAC < 35% had lower diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (29% vs. 47%, p = 0.004), fibrotic features on computed tomography of the chest (79% vs. 33%, p = 0.005), larger RV diameter (5.4 vs. 3.9 cm, p < 0.001), higher right atrial pressures (8 vs. 5 mmHg, p = 0.02), and required supplemental oxygen more frequently (100% vs. 44%, p < 0.001) compared to those with FAC ≥ 35%. We found no difference in 6MWD and hospitalizations between the two groups. The presence of RV dysfunction in antisynthetase syndrome may identify patients at risk of poor outcomes.

RESUMO

Inflammatory markers have been studied in cancers and chronic states of inflammation. They are thought to correlate with tumor pathology through disruption of normal homeostasis. Markers such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) among others have shown promise as prognostic tools in various cancers. In this study, we evaluate complete blood count based inflammatory markers in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to predict overall and recurrence-free survival of patients after liver transplant. Between 2001 and 2017, all HCC indicated liver transplants were retrospectively reviewed. Inclusion criteria included presence of complete blood cell counts with differential within three months prior to transplantation. Exclusion criteria included retransplantation and inadequate posttransplant followup. A total of 160 patients with HCC were included in the study. Of those, 74.4% had hepatitis C virus as the underlying cause of HCC. Calculated Model for End stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores were statistically worse in patients with elevated NLR (≥5), derived NLR (≥3), and low lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) (<3.45), whereas elevated platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (≥150) did not correlate with MELD. Of the tumor characteristics, low LMR was associated with tumor presence and microvascular invasion on explant. Though overall survival trended towards better outcomes with low NLR and dNLR and high LMR, these did not reach statistical significance. High LMR also trended towards better recurrence-free survival without statistical significance. Low PLR was associated with statistically significant overall and recurrence-free survival. In conclusion, while prior studies in HCC have identified NLR as surrogate for tumor burden and survival, in this study we highlight that PLR is a good surrogate of mortality and recurrence-free survival in HCC transplant patients. Further, future study of PLR, NLR, and LMR in larger HCC populations before and after interventions may help clarify their clinical utility as a simple and noninvasive clinical tool as prognostic markers.

RESUMO

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal con 249 pacientes de 60 y más años de edad operados en el Servicio de Cirugía General de los hospitales Clinicoquirúrgico Docente "Amalia Simoni" y General Docente "Martín Chang Puga" de la provincia Camagüey en un bienio. Más de la mitad de los pacientes tenían entre 60 y 69 años de edad, con predominio del sexo masculino, en una relación de 1,9:1. El mayor número de cirugía de urgencia se realizó en personas mayores de 70 años. La hernia de la pared abdominal fue el diagnóstico operatorio más frecuente (49 porciento). La hipertensión arterial constituyó la enfermedad asociada de mayor relevancia. La sepsis predominó entre las complicaciones posoperatorias. La mortalidad global fue de 16,87 porciento. Más del 70 porciento de los pacientes pudo haber sido operado en edades más tempranas de la vida de haber recibido una orientación médica adecuada(AU)


A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 249 patients aged 60 and over that were operated on at the Service of General Surgery of Amalia Simoni Clinical and Surgical Teaching Hospital and Martín Chang Puga General Teaching Hospital, in the province of Camagüey, in a biennium. More than half of the patients were aged 60-69, with predominance of males in a ratio 1.9:1.The highest number of emergency surgery was performed in individuals over 70. The hernia of the abdominal wall was the most frequent surgical diagnosis (49 percent). Arterial hypertension was the most important associated disease. Sepsis prevailed among the postoperative complications. Total mortality was 16.87 percent. More than 70 percent of the patients could have been operated when they were younger if they had received an adequate medical guidance(AU)

RESUMO

Se realizó un estudio multicéntrico, descriptivo y retrospectivo con 88 pacientes operados de cáncer de tiroides en la provincia Camagüey, desde 1985 hasta 1995. El sexo femenino fue el más afectado en una proporción de 5,8:1 en relación con el masculino. El 73,86 porciento de los casos estaba comprendido entre 19 y 50 años de edad. La localización anatómica del tumor fue en mayor cuantía en la glándula tiroidea. El examen paraclínico más utilizado fue la gammagrafía y el resultado más frecuente, el nódulo "frío". La biopsia aspirativa con aguja fina resultó ser de gran sensibilidad diagnóstica en los casos donde se practicó. La técnica quirúrgica mayormente utilizada fue la tiroidectomía total(AU)


A multicenter, descriptive and retrospective study was conducted in 88 patients operated on of thyroid cancer in the province of Camagüey, from 1985 to 1995. Females were the most affected in a ratio of 5.8:1 compared with males.. 73.86 percent of the cases were between 19 and 50 years old. The tumor was mostly anatomically located in the thyroid gland. The most used paraclinical examination was scintigraphy, whereas the most frequent result was the cold nodule. The fine needle aspiration biopsy proved to be of great diagnostic sensitivity in the cases where it was performed. Total thyroidectomy was the most used surgical technique(AU)
