RESUMO

La enfermedad indiferenciada del tejido conectivo es una condición de etiología desconocida que comparte características clínicas, patológicas y de laboratorio de varias colagenosis, sin cumplir los criterios del Colegio Americano de Reumatología para el diagnóstico de una enfermedad reumática específica y muchos pacientes evolucionan a condiciones definidas a lo largo del tiempo tales como Lupus, Esclerosis sistémica progresiva, Enfermedad de Sjögren entre otros. Antecedentes: Linfoma Hodgkin diagnosticado desde 2012 para lo cual recibió múltiples esquemas de quimioterapia. Las muestras de ganglio y médula ósea se habían enviado al laboratorio de Inmunopatologia de la Universidad de Stanford y allí no se apreciaron hallazgos compatibles con enfermedad linfoproliferativa. Enfermedad actual: Mujer de 27 años de edad con cuadro clínico de 1 mes de evolución, caracterizado por edema blando en miembros inferiores acompañado de edema palpebral matutino; concomitantemente presenta aumento de temperatura intermitente sin patrón especifico y dolor osteomuscular generalizado con limitación para la deambulación. Se ingresa. Al examen físico, regulares condiciones clínicas. En la piel se aprecia engrosamiento cutáneo importante. Se realizó biopsia cutánea y los hallazgos fueron compatibles con Esclerosis Sistémica(AU)


Undifferentiated connective tissue disease is a condition of unknown etiology that shares clinical, pathological and laboratory characteristics of several collagenopathies that do not meet the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology for the diagnosis of a specific disease; a large number of patients evolve to conditions defined over time such as Lupus, Systemic Sclerosis, Sjogren's Disease, among others. Past history: Hodgkin lymphoma was diagnosed since 2012 for which she received multiple chemotherapy schemes. A gland biopsy was sent to the Stanford University, as well as a bone marrow sample, and lymphoma was discarded. Present history: this 27-year-old female consulted for edema in lower limbs present during one month, accompanied by eyelid edema in the mornings; also fever without a specific pattern, myalgias and arthralgias. On physical examination, the skin was thickened and limb edema was present. A skin biopsy was performed, and the findings were consistent with Systemic Sclerosis. The patient is receiving cyclophosphamide and Azathioprine and leading her normal life(AU)

RESUMO

Resumen El vértigo es un frecuente motivo de consulta cuyo origen puede ser periférico o central; causas poco frecuentes de este último son las asas vasculares que afectan el VIII par craneal llevando a acúfenos, pérdida de la audición y mareo. Se presenta una mujer de 47 años de edad, quien consulta por un cuadro de mareo, náuseas, pérdida del tono postural, cefalea y parestesia facial, cuyo examen físico revela signos de vértigo periférico, iniciándose tratamiento con antieméticos, anticinetósicos y vasodilatadores que llevan a empeoramiento del cuadro, por lo que se sospecha de patología a nivel de sistema nervioso central (SNC) que ejerce compresión con la vasodilatación. Se realiza una resonancia magnética que muestra un asa vascular en la arteria cerebelosa inferior anterior (AICA) que ingresa al conducto auditivo interno (CAI) explicando la sintomatología y cuyo efecto compresivo de los nervios centrales genera un efecto paradójico con la toma de vasodilatadores. (Acta Med Colomb 2018; 43: 226-229).


Abstract Vertigo is a frequent reason for consultation whose origin can be peripheral or central; infrequent causes of the latter are the vascular loops that affect the VIII cranial nerve leading to tinnitus, hearing loss and dizziness. The case of a 47-year-old woman who consulted for a picture of dizziness, nausea, loss of postural tone, headache and facial paraesthesia, and whose physical examination revealed signs of peripheral vertigo, is presented. Treatment was started with antiemetics, anticinetics and vasodilators that lead to worsening of the condition, for which pathology exerting compression due to vasodilation at the central nervous system (CNS) level, is suspected. An MRI is performed showing a vascular loop in the Anterior Lower Cerebellar Artery (AICA) that enters the Internal Auditory Canal (IAC) explaining the symptomatology and whose compressive effect of the central nerves generates a paradoxical effect with the taking of vasodilators. (Acta Med Colomb 2018; 43: 226-229).

RESUMO

La encefalomielitis aguda diseminada (EMAD) es un trastorno neurológico caracterizado por inflamación del cerebro y médula espinal causada por un daño a la mielina, afectando al sistema nervioso central de manera difusa. Esta afección puede manifestarse de manera espontánea o secundaria a infecciones o a vacunación. La mayoría de las veces evoluciona de manera monofásica con manifestaciones clínicas inespecíficas, por lo que la sospecha diagnóstica es fundamental. La EMAD es la causa más frecuente de afectación de sustancia blanca. La incidencia es mayor en la edad prepuberal con una incidencia de aproximadamente 0,2-0,4 casos/100000 habitantes año. Tiene predominio estacional, siendo más frecuente en los meses de invierno y primavera. Afecta más a varones. A continuación presentaremos nuestra experiencia con un caso sin diagnóstico previo de esta excepcional y poco frecuente patología el cual se convirtió en un reto diagnóstico(AU)


Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis ADEM is a neurological disorder characterized by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord caused by damage to the myelin, affecting diffusely the central nervous system. This condition can appear spontaneously or secondary to infections or vaccination. Most of the time it evolves in a monophasic manner with nonspecific clinical manifestations, so that he diagnostic suspicion is fundamental. ADEM is the most frequent cause of white matter involvement. The incidence is higher in the prepubertal age with an incidence of approximately 0.2-0.4 cases / 100,000 inhabitants per year. It has a seasonal predominance, being more frequent in the winter and spring months. It affects more males. Below we present our experience with a case without previous diagnosis of this rare pathology which became a diagnostic challenge(AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN: El incremento de enfermedades crónicas y limitantes para la vida, crea un desafío ético y una invitación a desarrollar un nuevo tipo de atención: la medicina paliativa. OBJETIVO: Documentar la percepción de pediatras y residentes de pediatría acerca de su conocimiento en cuidado paliativo pediátrico, e identificar las principales barreras percibidas por ellos. Materiales y MÉTODOS: Encuesta a pediatras generales, subespecialistas de pediatría y residentes de pediatría de Colombia. Estudio de corte transversal analítico. Nivel de significancia del 5%, y confianza del 95%. RESULTADOS: Participaron 359 pediatras y residentes de pediatría de todo el país. Solo el 13% ha recibido entrenamiento en cuidado paliativo, 57,1% a través de un compañero o autoaprendizaje. Hubo asociación estadísticamente significativa entre entrenamiento en cuidado paliativo y nivel de formación, años de ejercicio profesional y pacientes referidos en el último año. Se evidenció mayor conocimiento y confort en aquellos que han recibido entrenamiento.como principales barreras se encontraron: tiempo limitado para la atención, miedo al enfrentar la muerte del niño y deseo de los familiares de mayor intervención que el equipo médico. CONCLUSIONES: La mayoría de los encuestados no ha recibido entrenamiento en cuidado paliativo a pesar de considerarlo pertinente y percibir que generalmente se encuentran en situaciones poco confortables al respecto


INTRODUCTION: The rise of chronic and life threatening disease creates an ethical challenge and an invitation to develop a new type of care: palliative medicine. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to determine pediatricians and pediatric residents perceptions of their knowledge of pediatric palliative care, and identify the main barriers perceived by them. MATERIALS AND METHODS: General pediatricians, pediatric medical sub-specialists, and pediatric residents in Colombia took part in an analytical cross-sectional study using a questionnaire. Significance test results were reported with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: A total of 359 pediatricians and pediatric residents across the country completed the survey. Only 13% had received training in palliative care, with 57.1% through a peer or self-study. There was a significant relationship between palliative care training and level of education, years of practice, and patients referred in the last year. Greater knowledge and comfort in those who have received training was evident. The main barriers identified were: limited time for care, fear facing children's death, and families demanding more intervention by the physicians. CONCLUSIONS: Most respondents had not received training in palliative care, even when they see it as relevant, and were typically uncomfortable when facing situations on this type of care

RESUMO

The study explored goals in couple relationships, and determined their association with age and the level of satisfaction expressed with the relationship. The participants were made up of 355 volunteers, aged between 20 and 78, who had been in a relationship for more than 6 months. The sample was gathered to ensure an age and gender balance. Participants' goals were ascertained by means of three sentence stems that they completed by expressing a general expectation, a hope, and a concern as regards their relationship. Satisfaction with the relationship was measured by means of Hendrick's Relationship Assessment Scale. Responses to the open-ended sentences were content analyzed and categorized. The frequency of these categories was associated with age, which indicated that an orientation toward growth was less frequent and an orientation toward maintenance was more common in older groups. Except in the youngest group, satisfaction with the relationship was negatively correlated to gains, and positively to maintenance. The study emphasizes the changes experienced in couple-related goals across adulthood and their relevance to satisfaction with the relationship, issues which have received little research attention to date.

RESUMO

La toma de decisiones relacionadas con el lugar donde deben residir las personas mayores implica tanto a la persona mayor como a otros agentes como, por ejemplo, los familiares (en especial sus hijos) o el personal sanitario. En la presente investigación hemos querido conocer la percepción que tienen estudiantes de psicología sobre cuál es el mejor lugar donde deben residir las personas mayores, partiendo de la base de que esta percepción estará influida por ciertos estereotipos sobre las personas mayores. Se propusieron cuatro casos hipotéticos (balanceados por estado de salud y género) a 208 estudiantes universitarios, quienes tuvieron que decidir acerca de cuál sería la opción residencial escogida o rechazada por el protagonista, la persona mayor descrita, así como cuál sería la decisión que escogerían o rechazarían sus hijos. Aspectos como la salud de la persona mayor (sana o dependiente), su género, así como aspectos descriptivos de los participantes en la investigación (género y convivencia en el momento de la investigación con una persona mayor) se tuvieron en cuenta para analizar las diferencias entre las preferencias atribuidas a las personas mayores descritas y sus hijos (AU)


Decision making relating to types of residence for elderly people involves either the old people themselves or other agents, such as relatives (specially their adult children) or health workers. This study is focused in the perception that students of psychology have regarding the best place older people should live, believing that this perception will be influenced by older people's stereotypes.To contrast this hypothesis, four different cases (gender and health balances) were shown to 208 university students, who had to decide the most and less preferred residential option from the main character’s perspective (the older person) and from their adult children's perspective. Aspects as the health of the older person (healthy or dependent) and their gender, as well participant's characteristics (gender and if they live with an older family member) were taking into account to show different results of the residential choices (AU)
