RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory suggests that an imbalance between job demands and available resources can lead to burnout, negatively affecting job satisfaction. Physical activity is recognized for its positive effects on psychological well-being and could play a crucial role in mitigating burnout and improving job satisfaction, especially in high-demand professions such as nursing. OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the relationship between burnout, physical activity, and job satisfaction in Peruvian nurses, using the JD-R theory as a theoretical framework. METHODS: A cross-sectional and explanatory analysis was conducted on a sample of 420 Peruvian nurses, using a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) design to analyze the relationships between burnout, physical activity, and job satisfaction. The instruments included the Ultra-Short Burnout Measure (IUB), the General Job Satisfaction Scale NTP 394, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). RESULTS: The findings showed a significant negative correlation between burnout and physical activity (ß = -.40, P < .001) and between burnout and job satisfaction (ß = -.46, P < .001). Physical activity exhibited a significant positive correlation with job satisfaction (ß = .22, P < .001). Moreover, mediation analysis confirmed that physical activity mediates the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction (ß = -.106, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The findings emphasize the importance of physical activity as a mediator in the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction among Peruvian nurses, highlighting the need to promote physical activity as a strategy to improve workplace well-being. It is suggested that enhancing access to and promotion of physical activity could mitigate the effects of burnout and improve job satisfaction, which is essential for the quality of care and the well-being of nursing staff. These findings underscore the need for organizational and public health strategies that promote a healthy work environment and balance between the demands and resources available.

Flagelliflory refers to the production of inflorescences exclusively on long, whip-like branches which emerge from the main trunk and extend along the ground or below it. It is the rarest type of cauliflory and only a few cases have been reported in the world. Here, a new species of Annonaceae with flagelliflory is described and illustrated. The phylogenetic relationships of the new species were inferred using a hybrid-capture phylogenomic approach and we present some notes on its reproductive ecology and pollen characteristics. The new species, namely Desmopsisterriflorasp. nov., is part of a clade composed of Mexican species of Stenanona with long, awned petals. Desmopsisterriflora is distinguished by its flageliflorous inflorescences, basely fused sepals, thick red petals, reduced number of ovules per carpel, pollen grains with a weakly rugulate to fossulate exine ornamentation, and its globose, apiculate fruits with a woody testa. The morphological characteristics of the flagella suggest that these are specialized branches rather than inflorescences, and the absence of ramiflory implies an exclusively reproductive function. The flowers are infrequently visited by insects, their potential pollinators being flies and ants.
RESUMO
La hospitalización de un niño en cualquiera de las fases de desarrollo que se encuentra supone una situación de stress más aun relacionado con factores ambientales. Considerando este aspecto de gran importancia es que se implementaron en el internado pediátrico una serie de consignas que van desde cambios en la parte edilicia hasta la implementación de stickers que acompañan al niño y lo hacen partícipe de su propio cuidado. Estas actividades se enmarcan dentro del Proyecto Institucional cuidando personas"

En ninos y adolescentes con diabetes tipo 1 (DT1) puede aparecer precozmente un estado de inflamacion subclinica. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar los niveles plasmaticos de moleculas proinflamatorias en una poblacion infanto-juvenil con DT1, sin evidencias clinicas de complicaciones vasculares y correlacionar estos parametros entre si y con el grado de control glucemico y tiempo de evolucion de la enfermedad. Se estudiaron 42 pacientes con DT1 (21M/21F), de 10 a 13 anos, que se compararon con un grupo control. Se evaluaron: recuento de leucocitos, formas solubles de E-selectina (sE-S) y molecula de adhesion celular vascular 1 (VCAM-1), mieloperoxidasa (MPO), TNF-á, Fibrinogeno (Fg) y uPCR. Los datos se expresaron como mediana y rango intercuartil. Los diabeticos presentaron niveles aumentados de: sE-S [108 (69-150) vs. 68 (52-86) ng/mL, p=0,003], VCAM-1 [785 (732-835) vs 712 (658-758) ng/mL, p=0,04], uPCR [1,00 (0,67-1,70) vs. 0,20 (0,18-0,87) mg/L, p=0,01]. No se observaron diferencias en las moleculas estudiadas segun el grado de control glucemico y tiempo de evolucion de la enfermedad. La uPCR se correlaciono con glucemia en ayunas, HbA1c, sE-S y VCAM1. Los niveles elevados de uPCR, sE-S y VCAM-1 sugieren un estado proinflamatorio asociado a activacion endotelial en ninos con DT1, potenciando el riesgo de enfermedad vascular.
In children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D), clinical manifestations of vascular complications are uncommon; however, endothelial disturbance and a pro-inflammatory state can emerge early. The objectives of this work were: I) to determine plasma levels of proinflammatory molecules in a T1D pediatric population with no clinical evidence of vascular complications; II) to correlate these parameters with each other, and with glycemic control degree and disease duration. Forty-two patients with T1D (21 M/21W), aged 10 and 13 years and an evolution time not more than 6 years were compared with a control group. The biochemical parameters evaluated were: WBC, sE-S and VCAM-1, MPO, TNF-á, hsCRP and plasma Fg. Glycemic control was performed by determining fasting glucose and HbA1c. Data were expressed as the median and interquartile range. Increased levels of sE-S [108 (69-150) vs. 68 (52-86) ng/mL, p=0.003], VCAM-1 [785 (732-835) vs. 712 (658-758) ng/mL, p=0.04], hsCRP [1.00 (0.67-1.70) vs. 0.20 (0.18- 0.87) mg/L, p=0.01] were found in diabetic patients compared with the control group. No differences in the studied molecules were observed when diabetic patients were grouped according to glycemic control degree and evolution of the disease. hsCRP correlated with fasting glucose, HbA1c, sE-S and VCAM-1. High hsCRP, sE-S and VCAM-1 levels suggest a proinflammatory state associated with endothelial activation in children and adolescents with T1D, potentiating the risk of vascular disease.
Em crianças e adolescentes com diabetes tipo 1 (DT1), um estado de inflamação subclínica pode aparecer de forma precoce. O objetivo do trabalho foi determinar os níveis plasmáticos de moléculas pró-inflamatórias em uma população infanto-juvenil com DM1 sem evidências clínicas de complicações vasculares e correlacionar estes parâmetros, entre si com o grau de controle glicêmico e tempo de evolução da doença. Foram estudados 42 pacientes com DM1 (21M/21F), de 10 a 13 anos, que foram comparados com um grupo controle. Foram avaliadas a contagem de leucócitos, formas solúveis de E-selectina (sE-S) e molécula de adesão celular vascular 1 (VCAM-1), mieloperoxidase (MPO), TNF-á, fibrinogênio (Fg) e PCRus. Os dados foram expressos como mediana e intervalo interquartil. Os pacientes diabéticos apresentaram níveis aumentados de SE-S [108 (69-150) vs. 68 (52-86) ng/mL, p=0,003], VCAM-1 [785 (732-835) vs. 712 (658-758) ng/mL, p=0,04], PCRus [1,00 (0,67-1,70) vs. 0,20 (0,18-0,87) mg/L, p=0,01]. Não foram observadas diferenças nas moléculas estudadas segundo o grau de controle glicêmico e tempo de evolução da doença. O PCRus foi correlacionado com glicemia em jejum, HbA1c, sES e VCAM1. Os níveis elevados de PCRus, sE-S e VCAM-1 sugerem um estado pró-inflamatório associado com a ativação do endotélio em crianças com DM1, aumentando o risco de doença vascular.

OBJECTIVE: Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a well-known complication in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with a mortality rate estimated at 2%. A previous study identified that T1DM children of non-Caucasian race with Medicaid insurance had increased incidence of DKA admissions. The aim of this study is to identify the socioeconomic factors associated with DKA admissions in West Virginia (WV). DESIGN AND METHODS: Retrospective chart review of patients admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit with DKA in Charleston, WV from January 2007-December 2010. Included subjects were 1-18 years of age and those with type 1 diabetes of >6 months duration. Admission rates were compared with the normal population distribution in WV. The data collection tool included multiple socioeconomic factors and HbA1c. RESULTS: We reviewed a total of 167 patients with an admitting diagnosis of DKA; 57% were female, 43% male. Average age was 13.5 years ± 2.7; 56.4% were covered by Medicaid/Chips (WV state insurance) and 43.6% by commercial payers. 11.9% were African American and 88.1% were Caucasian. The average HbA1c was 10.85 ± 2.36%. Higher risks for DKA included those with HbA1c >14%, African American children (OR 17.4, CI 4-73) and children with Medicaid/Chips insurance (OR 9.3, 95% CI 1.1-76.2). CONCLUSIONS: This study identifies socioeconomic factors associated with children admitted for DKA in WV. Patients at higher risk for DKA include those with elevated HbA1c, African American race and those covered by Medicaid/CHIPS (thereby presumed lower socioeconomic status). Findings can be utilized to identify patients at highest risk for DKA and implementation of prevention strategies.

The child overweight is associated with overweight/obesity at the adult age. The obese adipose tissue produces an increase of proinflammatory cytokines as the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), causing a deleterious effect on vascular functions. The aim of this work was to evaluate TNF-α levels in a children's population with overweight and its relationship with clinical and laboratory variables. Thirty overweight children were studied, with ages between 8-13 years old, and twenty control children. In both groups waist circumference was measured and body mass index (BMI) calculated. The inclusion criterium was a >85th < 95 th BMI percentile for age and sex. In both groups were determined: fasting blood glucose (glucose-oxidase method); plasma insulin (ECLIA); plasma fibrinogen (Fg, Clauss method); high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP, immunoturbidimetric method); plasma myeloperoxidase (ELISA); TNF-α (ELISA); lipid profile (enzymatic methods); erythrosedimentation rate (ESR) and homeostasis model assessment index (HOMA). Data were expressed as the median and interquartile range. Correlations between variables were investigated with the Spearman's coefficient. A p < 0.05 was considered significant. The TNF-α levels were higher in overweight children [15.4 (13.2-24.0) vs. 12.7 (11.2-14.8) pg/ml; p = 0.028]. Levels of Fg, plasma insulin, HOMA index, uCRP and triglycerides were also statistically significant higher than the control group. The TNF-α was positively correlated with the waist circumference (r = 0.654; p = 0.021). The high TNF-α levels found, with the CRP and Fg levels, confirm a low grade proinflammatory state associated to abdominal obesity in the studied population.

El sobrepeso infantil está asociado a sobrepeso/obesidad en la edad adulta. El tejido adiposo en obesos produce una cantidad incrementada de citoquinas proinflamatorias como el factor de necrosis tumoral alfa (TNF-a), ejerciendo un efecto deletéreo sobre la función vascular. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar niveles de TNF-a en una población infantojuvenil con sobrepeso y su relación con otras variables. Se estudiaron 30 niños con sobrepeso (12 varones) de edades entre 8-13 años, se midió circunferencia de cintura (CC) e índice de masa corporal (IMC) y fueron comparados con 20 controles de edad y sexo semejantes. Se consideró criterio de inclusión un IMC = 85 < 95 percentilo para edad y sexo. En ambos grupos se determinó: glucemia en ayunas (método glucosa oxidasa), insulina plasmática (ECLIA), fibrinógeno (Fg, método de Clauss), proteína C reactiva ultrasensible (uPCR, método inmunoturbidimétrico), TNF-a (ELISA), perfil lipídico (métodos enzimáticos), eritrosedimentación y se calculó el índice HOMA. Los datos se expresaron como mediana y rango intercuartil y con el coeficiente de Spearman se investigaron las correlaciones entre variables, considerándose significativo un p < 0.05. Los niveles de TNF-a fueron mayores en los sujetos con sobrepeso [15.4 (13.2-24.0) vs. 12.7 (11.2-14.8) pg/ml; p = 0.028]. También resultaron más elevados los valores de Fg, insulina plasmática, índice HOMA, uPCR y triglicéridos. El TNF-a se correlacionó con la CC (r = 0.654; p = 0.021). Los niveles elevados de TNF-a, uPCR y Fg encontrados confirman un estado proinflamatorio asociado a obesidad abdominal en la población estudiada.

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this work was to study the relationship of absorption, depersonalisation, and self-focused attention in subjects prone to hallucination. METHODS: A sample of 218 healthy subjects was given the LSHS-R Hallucination Scale (Bentall & Slade, 1985). Three groups, subjects with high, medium, and low hallucination proneness, were formed from this sample. The Tellegen Absorption Scale (TAS; Tellegen & Atkinson, 1974), Cambridge Depersonalisation Scale (CDS; Sierra & Berrios, 2000), and Self-Absorption Scale (SAS; McKenzie & Hoyle, 2008) were also given to all the participants. The Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ-30; Wells & Cartwright-Hatton, 2004) was used as a covariant to control for the effects of emotional vulnerability on the dependent variables studied. RESULTS: The results showed that subjects highly prone to hallucinations had significantly higher absorption, depersonalisation, and self-focused attention than the subjects in the other two groups. A hierarchical regression analysis showed that absorption and depersonalisation predict hallucination proneness. CONCLUSIONS: The importance of the absorption, depersonalisation, and self-focused attention variables for understanding the aetiology of hallucinations is discussed in the Conclusions, where some approaches to its treatment are also suggested.

A subclinical inflammation state was detected in the early step of diabetes, which increases the serum levels of cytokines that induce acute-phase protein synthesis as C-reactive protein (PCR) and fibrinogen (Fg), stimulating the endothelial disfunction of adhesion molecules. Thirty patients (15 boys, 15 girls) with type 1 diabetes (DT1), without vascular complications, were studied. Their mean age and duration of diabetes were 11.8 +/- 2.1 and 3.9 +/- 3.2 years, respectively. The laboratory parameters evaluated were: blood leukocytes count, globular sedimentation velocity, fasting glycemia, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), high sensitivity PCR (uPCR), plasma soluble E-selectin (sE-S), sVCAM-1 and microalbuminuria. Increased levels of uPCR, sE-S and VCAM-1 were found, compared with the control group control [0.60 (0.30-1.25) vs. 0.20 (0.20-0.65) mg/l, p = 0.013], [108 (60-150) vs. 68 (56-82) ng/ml, p = 0.0031] y [750 (708-826) vs. 721 (674-751) ng/ml, p = 0.039] respectively. When diabetic patients were grouped according to duration of disease (3 and > de 3 years), uPCR values were higher in the second group. uPCR levels were better correlated with sE-S (r = 0.44, p = 0.03) and VCAM-1 (r = 0.49, p = 0.02). These results suggest the presence of pro-inflammatory and endothelial activation states, which are strongly associated with DT1.

Se ha hallado un estado inflamatorio subclínico ha sido informado en la fase temprana de la diabetes, el cual incrementa los niveles séricos de citoquinas que inducen la síntesis de proteínas de fase aguda como la proteína C reactiva (PCR) y el fibrinógeno (Fg), y estimula la expresión endotelial de moléculas de adhesión. Se estudiaron 30 pacientes (15 varones y 15 mujeres) con diabetes tipo 1 (DT1), de 11.8 ± 2.1 años de edad y 3.9 ± 3.2 años de evolución de la enfermedad, sin complicaciones vasculares. Se realizó recuento de leucocitos, velocidad de sedimentación globular (VSG), glucemia en ayunas, hemoglobina glicosilada (HbA1c), Fg, PCR ultrasensible (uPCR), determinación E-selectina soluble (sE-S), molécula de adhesión vascular celular 1 (VCAM-1) y microalbuminuria. Se encontraron niveles aumentados de uPCR, sE-S y VCAM-1 en los pacientes diabéticos comparados con el grupo control [0.60 (0.30-1.25) vs. 0.20 (0.20-0.65) mg/l, p = 0.013], [108 (60-150) vs. 68 (56-82) ng/ml, p = 0.0031] y [750 (708-826) vs. 721 (674-751) ng/ml, p = 0.039] respectivamente. Al agrupar a los diabéticos de acuerdo a la duración de la enfermedad (= 3 y > de 3 años), los valores de uPCR fueron mayores en el segundo grupo. La uPCR se correlacionó con sE-S (r = 0.44, p = 0.03) y con VCAM-1 (r = 0.49, p = 0.02). Estos resultados sugieren la presencia de un estado proinflamatorio y de activación endotelial estrechamente asociados en la DT1.

The chronic hyperglycemic state in diabetic patients produces an aggression to the vascular endothelium leading to a premature development of atherosclerosis. The objective of this paper was to determine the soluble E-selectin (sE-S) levels in children with type 1 diabetes (DT1) and its relationship with glycemic control and lipid profile. Thirty patients with DT1, (16 girls and 14 boys), age between 6 and 15 years were studied, whose data were compared with 20 control subjects. In both groups sE-S was determined as well as fasting glycemia, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc), total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, LDL-C, non-HDL-C and triglycerides (TG). sE-S values were 66% higher in diabetics than in control subjects (p = 0.001). Patients were grouped in: good glycemic control diabetics (GGCD, HbA1c < or = 8%) and poor glycemic control diabetics (PGCD, HbA1c > 8%). sE-S concentratios were in PGCD an GGCD respectively. 111.3 +/- 40.5 vs 68.0 +/- 11.3 ng/ml, p = 0.02. In the diabetic group, the incidence of non desirable values in the lipid profile parameters were: TC 50%; HDL-C 14%; LDL-C 52%, non-HDL-C 26.7% and TG 14%. sE-S values were better correlated with HbA1c (r = 0.53, p = 0.0001) than fasting glycemia (r = 0.36, p = 0.008), and CT (r = 0.36, p = 0.009). These results suggest that sE-S is an early marker of endothelial dysfunction and a probable risk marker of atherosclerosis in children with DT1.

El estado de hiperglucemia crónica en los pacientes diabéticos produce una agresión al endotelio vascular, conduciendo al desarrollo prematuro de ateroesclerosis. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar niveles de E-selectina soluble (sE-S) en una población infanto-juvenil con diabetes tipo1 (DT1) y su relación con el control glucémico y el perfil lipídico. Se estudiaron 30 pacientes con DT1 (16 mujeres y 14 varones), de edades comprendidas entre 6 y 15 años, comparados con 20 sujetos controles. Se determinaron: sE-S, glucemia en ayunas, hemoglobina glicosilada (HbA1c), colesterol total (CT), HDL-C, LDL-C, no HDL-C y triglicéridos (TG). Los niveles de sE-S fueron 66% más altos en los diabéticos que en los sujetos controles (p = 0.0001). Los pacientes fueron agrupados en: diabéticos con buen control glucémico (DBCG, HbA1c < 8%) y diabéticos con pobre control glucémico (DPCG, HbA1c > 8%). La concentración de sE-S en DPCG y en DBCG fue: 111.3 ± 40.5 vs. 68.0 ± 11.3 ng/ml, respectivamente p = 0.02. En los diabéticos la incidencia de valores no deseables en el perfil lipídico fue: CT: 50%; HDL-C 14%; LDL-C 52%, no HDL-C 26.7% y TG 14%. La sE-S se correlacionó mejor con HbA1c (r = 0.53, p = 0.0001) que con la glucemia en ayunas (r = 0.36, p = 0.008) y CT (r = 0.36, p = 0.009). De los resultados obtenidos se sugiere que la sE-S es un marcador temprano de disfunción endotelial y de probable riesgo de aterosclerosis en pacientes infanto-juveniles con DT1.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar moléculas involucradas en la activación endotelial, tales como la molécula de adhesión sE-Selectina (sE-S) y el péptido vasoconstrictor Endotelina-1 (ET-1) en individuos diabéticos tipo 2 y su asociación con otros factores de riesgo cardiovascular. Se estudiaron 62 pacientes diabéticos que se compararon con un grupo control. Las concentraciones de sE-S y ET-1 fueron significativamente mayores en los diabéticos que en los controles (sE-S: 90,6±26,2 ng/mL vs. 49,5±9,2 ng/mL, p<0,00001; ET-1: 11,3±3,7 vs. 7,7±0,5 pg/mL, p<0,001, respectivamente). Estas moléculas, en pacientes con índice de masa corporal (IMC) normal y aumentado, mostraron diferencias significativas (sE-S: 75,5±22,4 vs. 97,1±32,9 ng/mL, p<0,05; ET-1: 8,4±2,4 vs. 14,1±4,9 pg/mL, p=0,001, respectivamente). No se encontraron diferencias entre individuos diabéticos normo e hipertensos, no fumadores y fumadores, ni normo e hipercolesterolémicos. El 81% de la población estudiada presentó un pobre control glucémico (HA1c>7%), siendo significativamente mayores los niveles de ET-1 en este grupo (p<0,01) no así para sE-S (p=0,74). Los resultados obtenidos muestran que los pacientes diabéticos presentan activación endotelial reflejada en los niveles elevados de sE-S y ET-1. El IMC aumentado y el pobre control glucémico incrementan la disfunción endotelial en estos pacientes.
The object of this work was to study molecules involved in endothelial activation, such as E-selectin (sE-S) and the vasoconstrictor peptide Endothelin-1 (ET-1) in Type 2 diabetes patients, and their relation with other cardiovascular risk factors. Sixty-two patients with diabetes were compared with matched controls. sE-S and ET-1 concentrations in diabetes patients were significantly elevated compared with controls (sE-S: 90.6±26.2 ng/mL vs 49.5±9.2 ng/mL, p<0.00001; ET-1: 11.3±3.7 vs 7.7±0.5 pg/mL, p<0.001, respectively). sE-S and ET-1 levels in diabetes patients with normal and increased body mass index showed significant differences (sE-S: 75.5±22.4 vs. 97.1±32.9 ng/mL, p<0.05; ET-1: 8.4±2.4 vs. 14.1±4.9 pg/mL, p=0.001 respectively). There were no significant differences in none of the molecules values between patients with or without hypertension, smokers or non-smokers, neither in diabetes patients with or without hypercholesterolemia. Eighty-one percent of the population with diabetes presented a poor glycemic control (HA1c>7%) and in these patients, ET-1 plasma levels were significantly increased (p<0.01), but not sE-S (p=0.74). These results show that obesity and a poor glycemic control increase the endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes patients.

Diabetics have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The objective of this work was to evaluate the cardiovascular risk factors in infant-juvenile type 1 diabetics and their association with the degree of glycemic control. A total of 52 patients, aged 5-15 years, were studied and compared with 37 control subjects. The degree of glycemic control, lipid profile, plasma fibrinogen, microalbuminuria and blood pressure were investigated. The patients were grouped in diabetics with good glycemic control [DGGC, glycosilated hemoglobin (HbA1c) < 8%] and poor glycemic control [DPGC, HA1c > or = 8%]. Diabetic patients presented incremented values of total cholesterol (4.1 +/- 0.9 vs. 3.1 +/- 0.7 mmol/l, p = 0.0008), LDL-cholesterol (2.4 +/- 0.9 vs. 1.7 +/- 0.7 mmol/l, p = 0.0001), HDL-cholesterol (1.2 +/- 0.3 vs. 1.0 +/- 0.2 mmol/l, p = 0.0002), with respect to control group. Eighty three per cent of diabetics showed a poor glycemic control. There were not significant differences in lipid profile between DGGC and DPGC, excepting HDL-cholesterol which was higher in DPGC group (p = 0.007). Plasma fibrinogen levels were similar in diabetics and controls, but they were higher in DPGC than in DGGC (265 +/- 46 vs. 229 +/- 22 mg/dl, p = 0.02). Three patients with microalbuminuria and none with hypertension were detected. In these patients the most pronounced risk factors for CVD were dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia, which justify the need for the early detection of these factors as well as strict metabolic control.

RESUMO
Introducción. Las terapias sustitutivas renales continuas, hemofiltración (CAVHD), son los avances más recientes del arsenal terapéutico dialítico en la insuficiencia renal aguda (IRA). Usadas por primera vez en México en los casos que se presentan. Casos clínicos. Se describen 3 casos clínicos de niños graves con IRA, manejados con CAVHD, utilizando minifiltros Amicon. Caso 1. Diagnósticos de: síndrome de disfunción orgánica múltiple (SDOM), choque hipovolémico, enterocolitis necrosante (ECN), síndrome séptimo (SxSEP), coagulación intravascular diseminada (CID) e IRA oligoanúrica, con respuesta favorable a la CAVHD, y quien falleció por choque séptimo refractario. Caso 2. Diagnóstico de hipertensión pulmonar secundaria a membrana hialina, ECN, paro cardiorrespiratorio, SxSEP, CID e IRA oligúrica, con evolución satisfactoria post-CAVHD. Caso 3. Corrección quirúrgica de atresia de vías biliares, síndrome hepatorrenal. Recuperación completa post-CAVHD. No existieron complicaciones relacionadas al procedimiento. Conclusiones. La CAVHD es una excelente alternativa de manejo, aún en los países en desarrollo, en niños com IRA oligúrica aunada a SDOM
