RESUMO

Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has advanced for applications in the field of reconstructive surgery. This study reports the application of a comprehensive methodology to obtain an anatomical model, using computed tomography and 3D printing, to treat a patient with cancer who designed a prototype oculopalpebral prosthesis for the reconstruction of the affected area of the face (left eye). A personalized prototype was obtained, which adapted to the face of the person, and improved the aesthetics and quality of life. The applied techniques helped to make definitive prostheses using materials that could be permanent. The training and tests carried out in this study favored the understanding and assimilation of the technology and the possibility of applying it to patients in need of facial prosthetic rehabilitation.

RESUMO

Introducción. La bronquiolitis es la principal causa de ingreso por infección respiratoria aguda (IRA) en el niño menor de dos años. El virus respiratorio sincitial (VRS) es el agente causal predominante. El objetivo de este trabajo es la descripción de las características epidemiológicas de la cohorte de niños ingresados por bronquiolitis en nuestro centro, durante la temporada epidémica 2009/2010.Material y métodos. Se seleccionaron aquellos pacientes menores de 2 años ingresados en el Servicio de Pediatría, diagnosticados de bronquiolitis entre el 1 de octubre de 2009 y el 31 de marzo de 2010.Resultados. Fueron ingresados 89 lactantes. 47 pacientes (52,8%) eran menores de 3 meses. La mediana de edad fue 2 meses (RQ= 1-7). El 60,7% de los pacientes eran varones y el 19,1% fueron prematuros. Uno o los dos progenitores eran fumadores en el 47,6% de los casos. Permanecieron ingresados una semana o menos 73 pacientes (82,0%). El VRS fue detectado en 61 casos (69,3%). Esta patología supuso el 25,1% del total de ingresos durante los seis meses de estudio. Conclusiones. Existe un predominio de lactantes varones y de corta edad (0-3 meses) entre los ingresados. Un porcentaje importante de los niños hospitalizados por bronquiolitis son prematuros o de bajo peso al nacimiento. El VRS es el principal patógeno causante. La bronquiolitis supone un porcentaje importante del total de ingresos durante la temporada epidémica del VRS. Los resultados obtenidos se asemejan a lo ampliamente publicado en la bibliografía actual (AU)


Introduction. Bronchiolitis is the main cause of hospitalization due to acute respiratory infection (ARI) in children under two years of age. The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the predominant causal agent. The objective of this work is to describe the epidemiological characteristics of the group of children admitted for bronchiolitis in our center during the epidemic season 2009/2010.Materials and Methods. Patients selected for this study were under two years of age admitted to the pediatrics service, diagnosed with bronchiolitis between October 1st 2009 and March 31st 2010.Results. 89 infants were admitted. 47 patients (52.8%) were younger than 3 months. The median age was 2 months (RQ = 1-7). 60.7% of patients were males and 19.1% were premature births. One or both of the parents were smokers in 47.6% of the cases. 73 patients (82.0%) were hospitalized one week or less. The RSV was detected in 61 cases (69.3%). This pathology represented 25.1% of the total admissions during the 6 months of study. Conclusions. Male and young infants (0-3 months) are predominant among those admitted. A significant percentage of children hospitalized for bronchiolitis are premature or of low birth weight. The RSV is the main pathogenic cause. Bronchiolitis accounts for a significant percentage of the total admissions during the RSV epidemic season. Results are similar to those widely published in current literature (AU)

RESUMO

El manejo de los pacientes con sospecha de enfermedad de Kawasaki incompleta es difícil. La ausencia de marcadores específicos de la enfermedad y la similitud con otros procesos infecciosos mucho más frecuentes pueden conducir a un retraso en el diagnóstico. Es importante mantener un alto índice de sospecha para poder iniciar el tratamiento con inmunoglobulina precozmente y prevenir la afectación coronaria. Las recomendaciones de la Academia Americana de Pediatría y la Asociación Americana del Corazón son una guía útil para mejorar el rendimiento diagnóstico en estos casos. En el siguiente caso clínico exponemos una EK incompleta y se discuten las bases para el diagnóstico (AU)


The management of patients with suspicion of incomplete Kawasaki disease is difficult. The absence of specific markers of the disease and its similarity to other much more frequent infectious processes may lead to a delay in its diagnosis. It is important to maintain a high index of suspicion to be able to initiate immunoglobin treatment early and to prevent coronary involvement. The recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association are a useful guide to improve the diagnostic yield in these cases. We present an incomplete Kawasaki disease in the following clinical case and discuss the bases for its diagnosis (AU)

RESUMO

Up to 15% of patients with NSTEMI present at admission with heart failure. Scientific evidence for its management is limited but much progress has been made during the last years. Our purpose was to review the last data concerning heart failure in NSTEMI and perform an update on the subject, with the following findings as main highlights. As Killip classes III and IV, Killip class II onset in the context of NSTEMI has also proven bad prognosis significance. Beta-blocker therapy has proven benefit to patients with Killip class II in observational studies and small trials. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor therapy shows stronger evidence of benefit in patients with heart failure than in patients without it. Eplerenone is indicated for patients with left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure or diabetes mellitus. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators improve survival in patients with severe ventricular dysfunction after a myocardial infarction. Cardiac resynchronization therapy indications must be carefully assessed due to the high rate of implants that do not fulfill guidelines indications. In conclusion, heart failure during a NSTEMI is a common and meaningful situation which warrants careful management and further investigation to reach stronger evidence for clinical recommendations.

RESUMO

El corazón y el pulmón forman una unidad anatomofuncional interconectada por una red de vasos que conforma la circulación pulmonar. Las enfermedades de estos dos órganos están íntimamente relacionadas y se influyen mutuamente, fundamentalmente a través de alteraciones en la regulación de la circulación pulmonar. El síndrome de hipertensión pulmonar supone el paradigma central de las interacciones patológicas entre las enfermedades respiratorias y el corazón. Por el otro lado, las cardiopatías tanto malformativas como funcionales condicionan alteraciones en la fisiología respiratoria que son de relevancia clínica. En este grupo podemos diferenciar aquellas cardiopatías que producen un aumento del agua pulmonar, con grados variables de sobrecarga e insuficiencia del sistema respiratorio, y las malformaciones de los grandes vasos, que pueden producir obstrucción anatómica fija de la vía aérea (anillos vasculares y slings). La corrección/paliación quirúrgica y los procedimientos de cardiología intervencionista son el tratamiento fundamental en estos pacientes. En todo paciente con una enfermedad cardiaca o pulmonar significativa debe evaluarse el estado de ambos órganos y sus interacciones. La ecocardiografía juega un papel importante en este propósito, ya que los síntomas y signos de cardiopatía y neumopatía se solapan frecuentemente. El diagnóstico causal de hipertensión pulmonar debe ir encaminado al despistaje de enfermedad del aparato respiratorio (entendido éste como la unidad formada por el centro respiratorio, la vía aérea, el parénquima, la caja torácica y los músculos respiratorios), cardiopatías congénitas y más raramente enfermedades sistémicas o fármacos asociados a hipertensión pulmonar. En ausencia de alteraciones, el diagnóstico de exclusión es el de hipertensión pulmonar idiopática. Una vez que se desarrolla hipertensión pulmonar arterial significativa, el tratamiento es similar independientemente de la causa. Los vasodilatadores arteriales pulmonares juegan un papel central y han determinado el incremento de la supervivencia hasta el 80-90% a los 5 años del diagnóstico. Sin embargo, existen dudas sobre el pronóstico a largo plazo, ya que es necesario más tiempo de seguimiento de los pacientes que han sobrevivido. El trasplante pulmonar es, hoy en día, una opción real para aquellos pacientes que se deterioran pese al tratamiento médico óptimo (AU)


Heart and lung conforms an anatomic and functional unit that is connected by a complex net of vessels that arise the pulmonary circulation. Diseases of both organs are intimately related and influenced by each other, mainly by means of disregulation of the pulmonary circulation. Pulmonary arterial hypertension syndrome is the paradigm of the pathological interactions between cardiac and respiratory diseases. In the other hand, cardiac diseases (both malformative and functional) carry respiratory physiology anomalies that are clinically relevant. This group can be divided into congenital heart diseases with increase in lung water that produce variable grades of respiratory overload and insufficiency and great vessels malformations with fixed obstruction of the airway (vascular rings and sling). Surgical correction/palliation and interventional cardiology procedures compose the mainstay in the management of these patients. The state of cardiorespiratory unit and heart-lung interactions must be carefully assessed in every patient with significant heart or lung disease. Echocardiography plays a key role in this purpose given the fact that signs and symptoms of cardiac and lung disease are non-specific and frequently overlap. Diagnostic work up in pulmonary hypertension should rule out respiratory disease (including central control of ventilatory drive, airway, lung parenchyma, chest wall and respiratory muscles), acquired and congenital heart disease and rarely systemic diseases and drugs with associated pulmonary arterial hypertension. When no etiology can be identified, idiopathic pulmonary hypertension is diagnosed. Once significant pulmonary arterial hypertension is present treatment is pretty much similar with independence of the primary disease. Arterial pulmonary vasodilator therapy is the cornerstone in the management of pulmonary hypertension with an essential role in the increased survival observed in the last few years (around 80-90% 5-year from diagnosis nowadays). However, concerns exist about long-term prognosis due to the lack of long follow up studies in patient with mid-term survival. Today, lung transplant is a real option for those patients who fail medical treatment (AU)
