[Benefits of mindfulness in pregnant women]. / Beneficios del mindfulness en mujeres embarazadas.

This article is intended to review the effect of mindfulness-based interventions on perinatal mental health. A search of the literature published until September 2019 in the Web of Science (WOS) database was carried out. Taking into account the inclusion and exclusion criteria and after reading the title and abstracts of the articles found, 26 of them have been selected. Finally we only analyzed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that show data on anxiety, depression, perceived stress and mindfulness before and after intervention and with follow-up data. The results found show that mindfulness-based interventions (IBMs) are more effective than the usual healthcare (TAU) that pregnant women receive for the reduction of depressive, anxious and perceived stress symptoms as well as increasing their postintervention mindfulness levels. For future research, a postpartum follow-up would be considered interesting taking into account variables such as the quality of the mother-baby attachment, adherence to breastfeeding and the evolutionary development of the newborn.

Este trabajo tiene el propósito de revisar el efecto de las intervenciones basadas en mindfulness sobre la salud mental perinatal. Se efectuó una búsqueda de la literatura publicada hasta septiembre 2019 en la base de datos Web of Science (WOS). Teniendo en cuenta los criterios de inclusión y exclusión y después de leer el título y abstracts de los artículos encontrados, se han seleccionado 26 de ellos, de los que se han escogido solo ocho por tratarse de ensayos controlados y aleatorizados (RCTs) que estudian datos de ansiedad, depresión, estrés percibido y mindfulness pre y post-intervención y con datos de seguimiento. Los resultados encontrados muestran que las intervenciones basadas en mindfulness (IBMs) son más eficaces que la asistencia sanitaria habitual (TAU) para la mujer embarazada a la hora de reducir la sintomatología depresiva, ansiosa y estrés percibido e incrementar sus niveles de mindfulness post-intervención. Para futuras investigaciones se consideraría interesante realizar el seguimiento de estas variables en el posparto e incluir otras como la calidad del vínculo madre-bebé, la adherencia a la lactancia materna y el desarrollo evolutivo del recién nacido.

EBV-associated cutaneous NK/T-cell lymphoma: review of a series of 14 cases from peru in children and young adults.

We have reviewed clinically, morphologically, and immunophenotypically a series of 14 Epstein-Bar virus (EBV)+ cutaneous natural killer cell (NK)/T-cell lymphoma from Peru. Most (11 out of 14) of these cases fit well into the category of Hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoma (HVLL), but 3 have a different clinical presentation, without facial involvement. In all 14 cases, skin lesions present in both the sun-exposed and nonexposed areas exhibited a slowly progressive relapsing course, changing from edema, to blistering, ulceration, and final scarring. The immunophenotype had a cytotoxic T or NK-cell lineage. The mean time of disease before admission to hospital was 69 months (range, 6 mo to 31 y). Only 2 patients had fever, hepatosplenomegaly, systemic lymphadenopathy, and a high lactate dehydrodenage (LDH) level at the time of diagnosis, whereas 10 had facial swelling. After treatment, only 4 patients remain alive, although with persistent disease. Ten patients died after a mean follow-up of 11.6 months after the initial diagnosis (range, 1 to 32 mo), because of concurrent infections (4 cases), disease progression (4 patients) or both (2 patients). Endemic Epstein-Bar virus (EBV)-positive cutaneous NK/T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders in childhood and early adulthood are characterized by a protracted clinical course, eventually leading to an aggressive phase characterized by concurrent infections and disease progression.
