RESUMO

RATIONALE: Adults born and raised at high altitudes have larger lung volumes and greater pulmonary diffusion capacity compared with adults at low altitude; however, it remains unclear whether the air and tissue volumes have comparable increases and whether there is a difference in airway size. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of chronic hypoxia on lung growth using in vivo high-resolution computed tomography measurements. METHODS: Healthy adults born and raised at moderate altitude (2,000 m above sea level; n = 19) and at low altitude (400 m above sea level; n = 23) underwent high-resolution computed tomography. Differences in total lung, air, and tissue volume, mean lung density, as well as airway lumen and wall areas in anatomically matched airways were compared between groups. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: No significant differences for age, sex, weight, or height were found between the two groups (P > 0.05). In a multivariate regression model, altitude was a significant contributor for total lung volume (P = 0.02), air volume (P = 0.03), and tissue volume (P = 0.03), whereby the volumes were greater for the moderate- versus the low-altitude group. However, altitude was not a significant contributor for mean lung density (P = 0.35) or lumen and wall areas in anatomically matched segmental, subsegmental, and subsubsegmental airways. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that the adult lung did not increase lung volume later in life by expansion of an existing number of alveoli, but rather from increased alveolarization early in life. In addition, chronic hypoxia accentuates dysanaptic lung growth by increasing the lung parenchyma but not the airways.

RESUMO

Children and adults residing at high altitude (HA) compared to low altitude (LA) have larger lung volumes; however, it is unknown whether this response to chronic hypoxia begins early in life. Our objective was to determine whether infants and toddlers at HA have larger lung volumes compared to infants and toddlers at LA. Oxygen saturation (SaO2 ), functional residual capacity (FRC), as well as serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and erythropoietin (EPO) were measured in infants and toddlers from HA (N = 50; 3,440 m) and LA (N = 35; 440 m). There were no significant differences in somatic size for HA and LA subjects; however, HA subjects had significantly lower SaO2 (88.5% vs. 96.7%; P < 0.0001). Subjects at HA had significantly greater FRC compared to subjects at LA (group mean: 209 and 157 ml; P < 0.0001), adjusting for body length. Male infants at HA had a significantly greater FRC compared to males at LA (57 ml; P-value < 0.001); however, the increase in FRC for females at HA compared to LA was not significant (20 ml; P-value = 0.101). VEGF and EPO were significantly higher for subjects at HA compared to LA with no gender differences. In summary, infants and toddlers at HA have lower oxygen saturations, higher serum levels of VEGF and EPO, and higher FRC compared to subjects at LA; however, chronic hypoxia appears to generate a more robust response in lung growth in male compared to female infants early in life.

RESUMO

Priapism is a prolonged penis erection, triggered by sexual stimulation or not; it is uncommon in children, but its knowledge is of great importance since it may lead to suspect serious diseases, such as leukemia, and it can lead to permanent erectile dysfunction if appropriate treatment is not timely done. We present the case of a 16-year-old boy with priapism which lead to a diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia. Knowledge of an uncommon pathology in children, like priapism, it is very important in order to establish the suitable and timely treatment, to prevent the irreversible sequelaes and complications of this disease.

RESUMO

El priapismo es una erección peneana prolongada, desencadenada o no por estímulo sexual. Es poco frecuente en pediatría, pero importa su conocimiento pues su presencia puede trasuntar enfermedades graves, como la leucemia, y también puede complicarse con la disfunción sexual eréctil irreversible, si no se establece el tratamiento oportuno. Se informa el caso de un niño de 16 años, que debuta con priapismo como presentación de una leucemia mieloide crónica. El conocimiento del cuadro de priapismo permite realizar un enfoque adecuado, aplicar de forma sistemática las exploraciones y establecer un tratamiento para prevenir sus complicaciones.

RESUMO

El abuso de sustancias psicotóxicas representa un gran problema de Salud Pública en los diferentes distritos estatales. Este trabajo pretende determinar cuáles son los efectos nocivos de estas sustancias sobre el parénquima cerebral de los pacientes en los que se ha demostrado un consumo activo de drogas prohibidas. Para ello se empleó la técnica de SPECT cerebral con ECD - 99mTc aplicada a aquellos pacientes adictos, a los cuales previamente se les realizó una encuesta para conocer el tipo de droga, el tiempo y la duración de su adicción. Como resultado se detectó que el mayor número de defectos de perfusión corticales, es decir, déficits funcionales, se localizaron en la corteza órbito-frontal y en los lóbulos temporales, lo cual explicaría los importantes trastornos de conducta y personalidad que manifiestan estos pacientes. Se demostró con este método que el SPECT cerebral es un excelente método para detectar las zonas afectadas por estas drogas psicoadictivas, su extensión y la evolución y posible respuesta al tratamiento.


Psychoactive drug abuse is a major public health problem in many districts. This study seeks to determine the harmful effects of such drugs on the brain parenchyma of patients known to abuse illegal drugs. Brain scans were obtained using 99 M Tc- ECD SPECT from drug addicts that had been previously surveyed to ascertain the type of drug, the timing and duration of their addiction SPECT findings showed a larger number of cortical perfusion defects, that is to say functional defects located in the orbital-frontal cortex and in the temporal lobes that may explain the significant behavior and personality disorders these patients display. Cerebral SPECT showed to be an excellent method to detect areas affected by psychoactive drugs, their extent, likely evolution and response to treatment.

RESUMO

En el Instituto de Puericultura Dr. Alfredo Guzmán, de la Provincia de Tucumán, se produjo en el mes de junio de 1996 un brote de hepatitis. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar los resultados obtenidos en el estudio realizado por el Laboratorio de Inmunología del Hospital del Niño Jesús a solicitud de la Dirección de Epidemiología del SI.PRO.SA. El propósito fue realizar el diagnóstico y evaluar el status inmunológico para decidir la vacunación. Se procesaron 96 muestras, 13 correspondían a adultos y 83 a niños de 1 mes a 6 años. Se valoraron anticuerpos (Ac) IgM antiHAV y anticuerpos totales antiHAV con una ELISA comercial. En 20 niños (20,8 por ciento) se encontraron Ac IgM anti HAV y en 65 (67,7 por ciento) Ac totales anti HAV. Todos los adultos eran positivos para Ac totales. Los resultados indican: * La fuente de infección sería de origen externo, posiblemente algunos portadores (niños que ingresan o familiares que los visitan). * La alta prevalencia de Hepatitis A en nuestro medio. * La necesidad de vacunar a los niños a temprana edad.
