RESUMO

Antecedentes: España ha participado en la ISAF desde el inicio del despliegue militar en Afganistán. En este trabajo se estudian las evacuaciones médicas hasta el Hospital Central de la Defensa Gómez Ulla (HCDGU), Role 4, durante los años 2009-2012, y las causas de las muertes ocurridas en territorio afgano desde el comienzo de la misión en 2002 hasta final de 2012. Material y Método: Se identificaron las historias clínicas de los evacuados y se diferenciaron entre bajas «no de combate» y «de combate». Las primeras se agruparon según la CIE.9.MC y las segundas según el mecanismo lesivo. Se describió la topografía de las lesiones en los casos de los heridos por arma de fuego y se analizaron las lesiones de los heridos por artefactos explosivos improvisados (IEDs). Se estudiaron las causas de los fallecimientos y se distinguieron las producidas por accidentes, acciones hostiles y muerte natural. Resultados: Se evacuaron 139 bajas, «de combate» 10,80% y «no de combate» 89,20%. La media de evacuaciones al año fue de 2,66 por cada 100 individuos desplegados. Entre las bajas «no de combate» las principales causas fueron las lesiones traumatológicas n=41 (33,6%). Entre las bajas por acciones hostiles los agentes lesivos fueron las armas de fuego n=7 (46,67%) y los IEDs n= 8 (53,33%). El número de fallecidos del contingente español en Afganistan desde el inicio de la misión hasta Diciembre de 2012 ha sido de 37 personas. De ellos, 15 (40,54%) fueron por acciones hostiles y 22 (59,46%) por accidentes o muerte natural. Conclusiones: Las bajas «no de combate» representan casi el 90 % de las evacuaciones. Entre las bajas «no de combate» las cusas principales son las lesiones traumatológicas, los trastornos mentales y las enfermedades musculoesqueléticas. Las lesiones ocasionadas por IEDs parecen relacionadas con los efectos terciarios de la explosión. Las lesiones por armas de fuego se localizan principalmente en las extremidades. Los días de ingreso hospitalario de las bajas «de combate» superan a los ocasionados por las bajas «no de combate» de forma muy significativa. Las muertes entre el contingente español muestran una llamativa agrupación de bajas, para un mismo incidente, entre las causadas por acciones hostiles y accidentes (AU)


Background: Spain has taken part in ISAF since the beginning of its military deployment in Afghanistan. In this paper we study the medical evacuation of Spanish troops to the Hospital Central de la Defensa Gómez Ulla (HCDGU), Role 4, from 2009 to 2012, and the causes of deaths among the Spanish contingent in Afghanistan since the beginning of the mission in 2002 to late 2012. Material and methods: The medical record of HCDGU evacuations between 2002 and 2012 were studied and differ between leaves «non-combat» and «combat». The first group was classified according to CIE.9.MC, whereas combat leaves were grouped according to the specific mechanism of injury. Topographical location of gunshot injuries and the type of injury in Improvised Explosive Device (IEDs) victims were analyzed. We studied causes of death and distinguished those caused by accident, due to hostile actions and due from natural causes. Results: The number of evacuations was 139 « combat « 10.80% and «non-combat» 89.20%. The average yearly rate of evacuations was 2.66 per 100 deployed members. Among the «non-combat» evacuations, the main causes were trauma injuries n = 41 (33.6%). Among combat-related evacuations, causes were firearm wounds n = 7 (46.67%) and IEDs n = 8 (53.33%). The death toll of the Spanish contingent in Afghan territory since the beginning of the mission until December of 2012 has been 37 casualties. Of these, 15 (40.54%) resulted from hostile action and 22 (59.46%) were accidents or deaths from natural causes (8.10%). Conclusions:«Non-combat» casualties are the cause of almost 90% of medical evacuations. The main causes among «non-combat» evacuations casualties are injuries, mental disorders and musculoskeletal diseases. Injuries from IEDs we believe are directly related to the tertiary effects of the explosion. Firearm wounds were mainly located in the upper and lower limbs. The hospital stay for «combat»related evacuations was significantly higher than for «non-combat» evacuations. Deaths in the Spanish contingent from the beginning of the mission until December 2012 show a striking grouping of accident and hostilerelated evacuations for one same incident (AU)

RESUMO

La ética médica, basada en un modelo paternalista y con raíces en la filosofía aristotélica, dominó la forma de practicar la medicina hasta bien avanzado el siglo XX. Los acontecimientos provocados por la segunda guerra mundial y los cambios sociales de este siglo, proporcionaron argumentos suficientes para la irrupción de la filosofía en los problemas relacionados con la ética médica. El principialismo, en especial el principio de autonomía, y la teoría del consentimiento informado, cambiaron el carácter tradicional en la que se apoyaba la relación médico-enfermo. Lejos de quedar asentado, el principialismo no ha resuelto la esencia de los problemas éticos que con frecuencia se plantean en la actualidad. Las exigencias sociales e individuales sobre lo que hoy se espera que la medicina logre, colisionan frecuentemente con la forma de entender el médico su profesión. El argumento ético que sustente la actuación de un médico por el bien de su enfermo se ha convertido, en no pocas ocasiones, en una fuente de incertidumbre para la profesión (AU)


Medical ethics based on a paternalistic model inspired by aristotelic philosophy, prevailed in medical practice well into the 20th century. The events of the Second World War and social changes of the century provided enough arguments for philosophy to burst into medical ethics related issues. Principlism, especially the principle of autonomy, and the theory of informed consent, changed the traditional character of the relation physician-patient. Far from being established principlism has not solved the essence of the ethical issues that often appear nowadays. Individual and social demands about expected medical advances often clash with the physicians’ understanding of their profession. The ethical argument to support the physicians’ behavior for the good of the patient, in quite a few occasions, has become a source of uncertainty for the physician (AU)

RESUMO

El mieloma múltiple es una neoplasia de células plasmáticas que se caracteriza por destrucción ósea, insuficiencia renal, anemia e hipercalcemia. Aunque el mieloma múltiple es todavía incurable, avances recientes en su tratamiento, como Talidomida, Lenalidomida o Bortezomib, han cambiado significativamente las expectativas. resentamos el caso de un paciente de 79 años diagnosticado de Mieloma Múltiple IgA Lambda, con extensa afectación ósea y plasmocitoma frontal, en el que se comprobó la remisión inicial completa a las cuatro semanas de iniciado el tratamiento de inducción con Talidomida/ Bortezomib/Prednisna (AU)

RESUMO

A case of a 32 years old woman with fever and exudative ascites is described. Tuberculous peritonitis was confirmed by abdominal laparoscopy, peritoneal biopsy and Lowënstein culture. A serum CA 125 level was 861 U/ml before therapy. The CA 125 level decreased a 30% after three weeks of antituberculous treatment. This tumor marker may be used to follow disease activity in tuberculous ascites.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To value the effects of megestrol acetate wer the weight and the body composition (fat, lean and body water) in patients with AIDS associated cachexia, by bioelectric impedance analysis. SUBJECTS: 25 patients between 23 and 57 years of age, with confirmed HIV infection and prior weight lost of 7.96 +/- 4.6 kg in relation to their habitual weight in the previous months. All the patients were under antiretroviral therapy. METHOD: Basal determination, before the beginning of the antianorexic treatment and at the end of it, using bioelectric impedance analysis by Maltron BF 905 analyzer, calculating fat, lean and total body water in relation to weight, height, age and sex. Oral administration of 320 mg/day megestrol acetate for three consecutive months. Statistical comparation (RSIGMA and SPSS) by paired t-test of the mean weight, body mass index, fat, lean and total body water. RESULTS: During the three months treatment the mean basal body weight of the patients increased 3.54 Kg (p < 0.001) at the expense of an increase of 2.24 kg in the total body lean (p < 0.01), while the increment of the body fat (1.2 kg) was not statistically significant. The total body water increased 1.48 L (p < 0.001) and the body mass index in 1.22 kg/m2 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Treatment with megestrol acetate results in a substained and very significant increase of the weight and body mass index in patients with AIDS related cachexia. This increment in weight is at the expense of body lean.

RESUMO

The mesothelioma is a rare tumor, especially in its peritoneal location (20%). Most of these cases are related to an exposition to asbestos long time age. We present a patient with long-evolution ascites and without any other clinical manifestations. The study of the ascitic fluid, the imaging techniques and the peritoneoscopy did not allow the diagnosis in the first place. Only after one year of follow-up and when the patient recalled, in a directed interrogation, her occupational contact with asbestos thirty years age, the diagnosis could be established.
