RESUMO
Resumen En marzo del año 2020, se declaró una pandemia de características mundiales, por un virus, que genera deterioro importante a nivel sistémico, SARS -CoV-2, con la enfermedad COVID-19. El deterioro funcional de quienes sufren secuelas post COVID-19 ha llevado a los profesionales de la rehabilitación a buscar formas eficientes de intervenir. Este estudio, descriptivo y retrospectivo, evaluó los efectos de un programa de rehabilitación remoto de 6 semanas, en 39 pacientes dados de alta de COVID-19, de un Centro de Salud Familiar (CESFAM) de la Comuna de El Bosque, Santiago, Chile, entre julio y diciembre del año 2020, analizando la capacidad física con el test 1 minuto sentado-de pie y disnea con escala de Borg modificada. Los resultados mostraron cambios estadísticamente significativos en la capacidad física y disnea de los pacientes intervenidos. Es necesario estudiar los beneficios de intervenciones específicas para esta población, y su impacto a largo plazo, entendiendo que convivimos con una nueva enfermedad, un COVID-19 prolongado, que incluso en cuadros leves está dejando secuelas funcionales importantes.
In March 2020, a pandemic of global characteristics was declared, due to a virus, which generates significant deterioration at the systemic level, SARS -CoV-2, with the COVID-19 disease. The functional deterioration of those suffering from post-COVID-19 sequelae has led rehabilitation professionals to look for efficient ways to intervene. This study, descriptive and retrospective, evaluated the effects of a 6-week remote rehabilitation program, in 39 patients discharged from COVID-19, from a Family Health Center in the Commune of El Bosque, Santiago, Chile, between July and December 2020, analyzing physical capacity with the 1 minute sitting-standing test and dyspnea with modified Borg's scale. The results showed statistically significant changes in the physical capacity and dyspnea of the operated patients. It is necessary to study the benefits of specific interventions for this population, and their long-term impact, understanding that we live with a new disease, a prolonged COVID, which even in mild cases is leaving important functional sequelae.

Some mycoses are endemic. They develop through hematogenous spread, causing a generalized infection, usually with secondary mucosal involvement.The aim of this observational and retrospective study was to report the prevalence and characteristics of oral lesions in patients diagnosed with systemic fungal infections (SFI) over a 25-year period in southern Brazil. Demographic (age, sex, ethnicity, occupation) and clinical (anatomical location, symptoms,histopathological diagnosis and management) data from the medical records of patients with SFI were collected from 1995 to 2019. 34 cases of SFI were found, of which 31 (91.18%) were diagnosed as paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) and 3 (8.82%) as histoplasmosis. Men were much more affected (n = 31; 91.18%), with an average age of 46.9 years. Most patients (n = 18; 58.06%) were Caucasian; 48% (n = 15) were farm/rural workers and the most affected region was the jugal mucosa (n = 13; 25.49%) followed by the alveolar ridge (n = 12; 23.52%). All patients with histoplasmosis were immunocompetent men (mean age: 52.67 years), and the palate was the most affected. All patients underwent incisional biopsy and were referred to an infectologist. The dentist has an essential role in the recognition of SFI, whose oral manifestations may be the first sign. SFI should be included in differential diagnosis in patients from endemic areas. In addition, the inevitable human mobility and globalization make knowledge of these mycosesnecessary worldwide, especially since advanced cases in immunocompromised patients can be fatal.

OBJETIVO: Realizar una caracterización clínica y por imágenes a pacientes hospitalizados por COVID-19 y analizar si existen predictores de riesgo asociados con una mayor gravedad. MÉTODO: Estudio observacional, retrospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes hospitalizados con COVID-19, entre abril y julio de 2020. Se registraron datos demográficos, comorbilidades, exámenes de laboratorio, tipo de compromiso en tomografía computada (TC) de tórax, terapias recibidas y tipo de soporte respiratorio. En el análisis estadístico para identificar factores de riesgo se utilizó test χ2 de Pearson o test de Fisher para comparar variables categóricas y test de Mann-Whitney para comparar variables continuas. RESULTADOS: Se analizaron 164 pacientes. La mediana de edad fue de 57 años (rango 21 a 89). 111 pacientes (68%) de género masculino y mediana de 7 días de síntomas previo al ingreso (rango 1 a 23). 68 pacientes (41%) tienen obesidad (significativamente mayor en pacientes < 60 años, p = 0,026), 56 (34%) hipertensión arterial (HTA) y 43 (26%) diabetes. El patrón predominante en la TC de ingreso fue de vidrio esmerilado (VE) con "crazy paving" (35%) y luego VE puro (28%). Como indicador de gravedad se tomó en cuenta el tipo de soporte ventilatorio requerido: 51 pacientes (31%) requieren soporte ventilatorio no invasivo (cánula nasal de alto flujo o VMNI) y 19 (11%) ventilación invasiva (VMI). Las variables predictoras de gravedad, estadísticamente significativas, fueron: HTA (p = 0,001), Diabetes Mellitus (p = 0,001) y Obesidad. (p = 0,002). CONCLUSIONES: Los pacientes hospitalizados por COVID 19 con mayor riesgo de evolución tórpida, del punto de vista respiratorio, fueron los pacientes obesos, hipertensos y diabéticos.
OBJECTIVE: To perform a clinical and imaging characterization in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 and to analyze whether there are risk predictors associated with greater severity of the condition. METHOD: Observational, retrospective study. Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 were included between April and July 2020. Demographic data, comorbidities, laboratory tests, tomographic pattern in thorax tomography (TC), therapies received, and type of respiratory support were recorded. In the statistical analysis to identify risk factors, we used Pearson's χ2 test or Fisher's test to compare categorical variables and Mann-Whitney test to compare continuous variables. RESULTS: 164 patients were analyzed. Median age was 57 years (21 to 89). 111 patients (68%) were male and a median of 7 days of symptoms prior to admission (1 to 23). 68 patients (41%) have obesity (significantly higher in patients < 60 years, p = 0.026), 56 (34%) arterial hypertension (HT) and 43 (26%) with diabetes mellitus. The predominant pattern in the admission CT scan was ground glass opacity (GGO) with "crazy paving" (35%) and then pure GGO (28%). Type of ventilatory support required was considered as an indicator of severity. 51 patients (31%) require non-invasive ventilatory support (high-flow nasal cannula or NIMV) and 19 (11%) invasive ventilation (IMV). The statistically significant predictor variables of severity were HT (p = 0.001), Diabetes Mellitus (p = 0.001) and Obesity. (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Patients hospitalized for COVID 19 with the highest risk of respiratory torpid evolution were obese, hypertensive and diabetic patients

Abstract Objective: To compare peripheral and central cannulation techniques in cardiac reoperation. Methods: This retrospective study included 258 patients undergoing cardiac reoperation between January 2013 and July 2018. Patients were divided into two groups according to the cannulation type. The first group included 145 (56.2%) patients operated with standard central cannulation through aorta and right atrium or bicaval cannulation. In this group, cardiopulmonary bypass was instituted after sternotomy. The second group consisted of 113 (43.8%) patients operated with peripheral cannulation through femoral artery, vein, and internal jugular vein. In this group, cardiopulmonary bypass was started before sternotomy and after systemic heparinisation. The two groups' operative complications and postoperative outcomes were compared. Results: Procedure-related injury was higher in the central cannulation group than in the peripheral cannulation group (8.3% vs. 1.8%, respectively, P=0.038). Cardiopulmonary bypass time was shorter in the central cannulation group (P=0.008) and total operation time was similar between the groups (P=0.115). Postoperative red blood cell requirement was higher with central cannulation (P=0.004). Operative mortality (2.8% vs. 0, P=0.186), hospital mortality (4.3% vs. 2.7%, P=0.523), and one-year survival rate (90.3% vs. 94.7%, P=0.202) were similar between the groups. Conclusion: Peripheral cannulation reduces cardiac injury and blood transfusion in cardiac reoperation. The cannulation type does not affect postoperative complication, mortality, and one-year survival.

ABSTRACT Objectives To determine the differences between voiding symptoms obtained by open anamnesis (VS-Open) versus voiding symptoms obtained by directed anamnesis (VS-Directed) to predict voiding dysfunction in women. Materials and Methods Retrospective study of women with prior anti-incontinence surgery evaluated during 5 years. In a standardized clinical history taking, each patient was asked to answer question number five of the UDI-6 questionnaire ("Do you experience any difficulty emptying your bladder?"). If the answer was positive, the following voiding symptoms spontaneously described by the patient were documented: slow urine stream, straining to void, intermittent stream and feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, which were considered VS-Open. If the answer to this question was negative or if the patient had not reported the four voiding symptoms, she was asked in a directed manner about the presence of each o Ninety-one women are analyzed. Eighteen patients presented voiding dysfunction (19.8%), There was a statistical association between voiding dysfunction and the presence of any VS-Open (p = 0.037) and straining to void obtained by open anamnesis (p = 0.013). Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio, respectively, were 44.4% and 27.8%, 80.8% and 94.5%, 36.3% and 55.6%, 85.5% and 84.1%, 2.324 and 5.129, and 0.686 and 0.764. There was no statistical association between voiding dysfunction and VS-Directed. Conclusions VS-Open may predict better voiding dysfunction than VS-Directed in women.

Abstract Objective: In this retrospective study, we aimed to observe the efficacy of pericardial effusion (PE) treatments by a survey conducted at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Atatürk University. Methods: In order to get comparable results, the patients with PE were divided into three groups - group A, 480 patients who underwent subxiphoid pericardiostomy; group B, 28 patients who underwent computerized tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous catheter drainage; and group C, 45 patients who underwent echocardiography (ECHO)-guided percutaneous catheter drainage. Results: In the three groups of patients, the most important symptom and physical sign were dyspnea and tachycardia, respectively. The most common causes of PE were uremic pericarditis in patients who underwent tube pericardiostomy, postoperative PE in patients who underwent CT-guided percutaneous catheter drainage, and cancer-related PE in patients who underwent ECHO-guided percutaneous catheter drainage. In all the patients, relief of symptoms was achieved after surgical intervention. There was no treatment-related mortality in any group of patients. In patients with tuberculous pericarditis, the rates of recurrent PE and/or constrictive pericarditis progress were 2,9% and 2,2% after tube pericardiostomy and ECHO-guided percutaneous catheter drainage, respectively. Conclusion: Currently, there are many methods to treat PE. The correct treatment method for each patient should be selected according to a very careful analysis of the patient's clinical condition as well as the prospective benefit of surgical intervention.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the length hospital stay and predictors of prolonged hospitalization after RRP performed in a high-surgical volume teaching institution, and analyze the rate of unplanned visits to the office, emergency care, hospital readmissions and perioperative complications rates. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data in a standardized database for patients with localized prostate cancer undergoing RRP in our institution between January/2010 - January/2012. A logistic regression model including preoperative variables was initially built in order to determine the factors that predict prolonged hospital stay before the surgical procedure; subsequently, a second model including both pre and intraoperative variables was analyzed. Results: 1011 patients underwent RRP at our institution were evaluated. The median hospital stay was 2 days, and 217 (21.5%) patients had prolonged hospitalization. Predictors of prolonged hospital stay among the preoperative variables were ICC (OR. 1.40 p=0.003), age (OR 1.050 p<0.001), ASA score of 3 (OR. 3.260 p<0.001), prostate volume on USG-TR (OR, 1.005 p=0.038) and African-American race (OR 2.235 p=0.004); among intra and postoperative factors, operative time (OR 1.007 p=0.022) and the presence of any complications (OR 2.013 p=0.009) or major complications (OR 2.357 p=0.01) were also correlated independently with prolonged hospital stay. The complication rate was 14.5%. Conclusions: The independent predictors of prolonged hospitalization among preoperative variables were CCI, age, ASA score of 3, prostate volume on USG-TR and African-American race; amongst intra and postoperative factors, operative time, presence of any complications and major complications were correlated independently with prolonged hospital stay.

Resumen Objetivo: Dimensionar la demanda de atención y/u hospitalización de la tuberculosis (TBC) en el Hospital de Puerto Montt (HPM). Método: Revisión retrospectiva de los registros de TBC del Servicio de Salud del Reloncaví (SSDR) y del HPM entre los años 2011 y 2015. Se incluyeron todos los casos de TBC activa vistos en forma ambulatoria u hospitalizada en el HPM. Resultados: Se diagnosticaron en el SSDR 298 casos de TBC, y de ellos un 64% (192/298) fue pesquisado en el HPM. Se presentan datos socioeconómicos, epidemiológicos, clínicos, de laboratorio y forma de diagnóstico de 180 casos, que cumplieron criterios de inclusión: varones 62%, edad media 44 ± 19 años. El 72% correspondieron al estrato social de menores ingresos, 4% indigentes, solo 14% poseía enseñanza media completa, 11% analfabetos, ruralidad 19%. Las principales co-morbilidades fueron alcoholismo (17%), VIH (12%), Diabetes (10%). En aquellos con TBC pulmonar o pleural (128) el tiempo con síntomas con frecuencia era prolongado (15% > 90 días) y la radiología mostraba enfermedad avanzada: infiltrados bilaterales 73%, compromiso > 3 lóbulos 55%, una o más cavitaciones 34%. Se hospitalizó el 71% (126/180), 50% por necesidad de estudio, 48%por gravedad. El 8% necesitó Unidad de Paciente Crítico (UPC). Fallecieron 24 pacientes (13%). Se asoció significativamente a mortalidad el analfabetismo y necesidad de UPC. Conclusiones: En el SSDR la TBC es un problema sanitario que afecta principalmente a poblaciones más pobres y vulnerables.
Backgroud: Tuberculosis (TB) is still a problem that impacts on hospitals of high complexity. Aim: To assess demand for care and/or hospitalization because of TB in Puerto Montt Hospital (PMH), located in the southern of Chile. Patients and Methods: Retrospective study of all Reloncaví Health Service (RHS) and PMH clinical records, between 2011 and 2015. We include all ambulatory or hospitalized cases of active TB registered in PMH during the period of the study. Results: In RHS there were 298 cases of TB and 64% of them (192/298) was detected in HPM. We present social, economic, epidemiological, clinical, laboratory studies, and specific type of diagnosis of 180 cases that met inclusion criteria: men 62%, mean age 45 ± 19 years-old. The population with lower income was 72%, 4% homeless, 14% with complete high school, 11% illiterate and 19% lived at country side. Main co-morbidities were alcoholism 17%, HIV 12%, Diabetes Mellitus 10%. In the specific group of lung/pleural TB (128 cases) the time with symptoms was often prolonged (15% > 90 days) and imagen studies showed advanced pathology: bilateral infiltrates 73%>, affecting three or more lobes 55%, cavitations 34%. 71% (126/180) were hospitalized, because of necessity of more study (50%) or severity (48%), 8% required to enter to the Critical Care Unit (CCU). Twenty-four patients died (13%). Illiteracy and the need for CCU were associated with mortality. Conclusions: In RHS TB is a sanitary problem that affects principally the most poor and vulnerable populations.

ABSTRACT Objective: Describe the epidemiological profile of patients with primary or secondary neoplastic lesions in the pelvis who required a surgical procedure such as hemipelvectomy. Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated 69 patients located in the database of a São Paulo educational institution, subject to surgical hemipelvectomy treatment between January 1990 and December 2013. All patients had previous diagnosis of bone tumor (primary or metastatic) in the pelvis (ilium, ischium, pubis, and/or sacrum). Results: Analyzing the data obtained in this study, it was observed that these are partly similar to those found in the literature, with primary bone malignancies as the main diagnosis; general injuries affecting the pelvic area I (pelvic bone) and its most frequent complication, infection. The differences are mainly due to rarity of the bone tumors evaluated in this study, and the type of surgical procedure in question, which is even more unusual. Conclusion: Building a picture that conveys the reality of each diagnosis and that indicates which characteristics of these patients would better resemble an absolute or relative indication for the realization of hemipelvectomy is harder by the rarity of these cases.
RESUMO Objetivo: Traçar o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes com lesões neoplásicas na pelve, primárias ou secundárias, para as quais foi necessário procedimento cirúrgico do tipo hemipelvectomia. Métodos: Foram avaliados, retrospectivamente, 69 pacientes localizados no banco de dados de uma instituição de ensino de São Paulo, submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico tipo hemipelvectomia entre janeiro de 1990 e dezembro de 2013. Todos os pacientes apresentavam diagnóstico prévio de tumor ósseo (primário ou metastático) na pelve (ílio, ísquio, púbis e/ou sacro). Resultados: Ao analisar os dados obtidos no presente estudo, observou-se que esses são em parte semelhantes aos encontrados na literatura mundial, apresentam como principal diagnóstico as neoplasias malignas ósseas primárias. Em geral, as lesões acometeram a zona I pélvica (osso ilíaco) e a complicação mais frequentemente observada foi a infecção. As diferenças encontradas são devidas principalmente à raridade dos tumores ósseos avaliados nesses estudos e ao tipo de procedimento cirúrgico em questão, esses ainda mais incomuns. Conclusão: Construir um panorama que transmita a realidade de cada diagnóstico e indique quais as características que esses pacientes apresentam que mais se aproximariam como indicações relativas ou absolutas para o procedimento de hemipelvectomia encontra na raridade desses casos o seu maior obstáculo.

Abstract Despite the large number of published studies about oral candidiasis and associated risk factors, reports of large single-center retrospective studies on the prevalence of oral candidiasis, risk factors, and the oral candidiasis types diagnosed more frequently in oral diagnostic reference centers are scarce. The objective of the present study was to retrospectively survey the demographic and clinical profiles of 1,534 patients diagnosed with candidiasis and treated at the Center for Diagnosis of Oral Diseases (CDOD), Pelotas Dental School, Federal University of Pelotas between 1997 and 2014. Using a retrospective, cross-sectional, epidemiological design, data on race, gender, age, systemic diseases, oral candidiasis type and location, symptoms, and harmful habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption were collected. The statistical analysis was performed using STATA version 13.1. Risk factors for chronic atrophic candidiasis (CAC) were evaluated using Poisson regression with robust variance (p ≤ 0.05). The majority of patients with oral candidiasis seen at the CDOD over the 18-year period of analysis were Caucasian women, aged 51-60 years, nonsmokers, and nondrinkers, with no systemic disease, and who wore some form of dental prostheses. CAC was the single most common clinical type of candidiasis detected, and the most frequently affected oral site was the palate. These data from a large single-center in Brazil agree with previous evidence about the clinical and demographic profiles of patients with oral candidiasis.

Objective. To characterize the elderly population and their caregivers and to verify the association of depressive symptoms of the elderly and the caregiver's burden with the variables of interest. Methods. A cross-sectional study with 80 elderly people and 78 caregivers in a Primary Health Service in southern Brazil. Retrospective collection conducted in a structured database based on the multidimensional evaluation tool applied to home care for the elderly participants and their caregivers. Results. Most elderly participants were women (71.3%), with an average age of 82.1 years and 52.6% reported sadness or discouragement. Systemic arterial hypertension was the most frequent morbidity (68.8%). Most caregivers were women (85.7%), daughters of the elderly person (53.2%), mean age 57.8 years and 38.7% reported feeling the burden. The presence of depressive symptoms in the elderly was associated with Parkinson's disease (p=0.016) and to have a male caregiver (p=0.006). Caregiver's burden was associated with daily life activities such as bathing (p=0.021). Conclusion. There was evidence of differences in caregiver's gender in the presence of depressive symptoms and differences in the assistance in daily life activities for the caregiver's burden. (AU)

Abstract Background: Chagas disease continues to be a serious public health problem, and accounts for 25-30% of the indications for cardiac stimulation in Brazil. Objective: To assess clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients with Chagas disease, younger than 18 years, who had undergone pacemaker implantation in Brazil between 1994 and 2011, and its temporal trend. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Brazilian Pacemaker Registry database. The following variables were analyzed: year when pacemaker was implanted, location, age, sex, ethnic group, functional class and the main electrocardiographic findings at baseline. Results: In a total of 183,123 implants performed between 1994 and 2011, 214 implants of cardiac stimulation device in Chagas disease patients aged younger than 18 years were identified. Mean age at implantation was 5.6 ± 6.2 years. Second- and third-degree atrioventricular blocks corresponded to 71% of indications for pacemaker implantation. Fifty-six percent of the procedures were performed in the southeast region. Regarding the total number of pacemaker implants per year, there was a remarkable increase in the implants for all causes. However, time series analysis of the implants in Chagas disease patients younger than 18 years revealed a significant reduction in the annual number of implants. Conclusion: There has been an important reduction in the number of pacemaker implantations among children and adolescents with Chagas disease, suggesting a reduction in the vertical transmission of the parasite.
Resumo Fundamento: A doença de Chagas mantém-se como sério problema de saúde pública e tem sido responsável por aproximadamente 25% a 30% das indicações de estimulação cardíaca no Brasil. Objetivo: Estudar as características clínicas e epidemiológicas dos pacientes menores de 18 anos portadores de doença de Chagas submetidos a implante de marca-passo no território brasileiro entre 1994 e 2011, e sua tendência temporal. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo que utilizou informações coletadas pelo Registro Brasileiro de Marca-passo. As variáveis analisadas foram: ano do implante, localidade, idade, sexo, grupo étnico dos pacientes; classificação funcional e os principais achados eletrocardiográficos de base. Resultados: Em um total de 183 123 implantes realizados entre 1994 e 2011, foram identificados 214 implantes de dispositivos de estimulação cardíaca em portadores de doença de Chagas com idade inferior a 18 anos. A média de idade no momento do implante foi de 5,6 ± 6,2 anos. Bloqueios atrioventriculares de 2º e 3º graus foram responsáveis por 71% das indicações. Dos procedimentos, 55,6% foram realizados na região sudeste. Em relação ao total de implantes de marca-passo por ano, observamos um aumento importante e significante de implante por todas as causas. Entretanto, quando avaliamos a série temporal de implantes em pacientes com doença de Chagas menores que 18 anos, observamos uma redução expressiva e significativa no número anual de implantes. Conclusão: Observa-se uma redução importante do número de implantes de marca-passo em crianças e adolescente chagásicos, o que sugere uma redução da transmissão vertical do parasita.

RESUMO Introdução A utilização de questionários sintoma-específicos no câncer de cabeça e pescoço (CCP) em conjunto com avaliações objetivas da deglutição pode ser sensível às mudanças na qualidade de vida (QV) decorrentes da disfagia, porém é uma ferramenta pouco utilizada como complemento de avaliações clínicas. Objetivo analisar a associação entre o questionário de disfagia M. D. Anderson (MDADI) com a videofluoroscopia (VF) da deglutição em pacientes tratados do CCP. Método Estudo retrospectivo, com revisão de prontuários, dados da VF e do questionário de disfagia MDADI. Foram incluídos indivíduos maiores de 18 anos, tratados do câncer de cavidade oral, orofaringe, hipofaringe e laringe, independentemente do tratamento curativo. Para o exame de VF, foram consideradas as deglutições de 5 e 20 ml na consistência néctar. O teste não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney foi utilizado para avaliar a associação entre o questionário MDADI e a VF. Resultados Casuística de 39 indivíduos, predomínio de homens, 34 (87,18%), e média de idade de 61 anos. Prevalência de câncer de cavidade oral, 16 (41,03%). Vinte e dois (56,4%) possuíam estádio clínico IV. Cirurgia isolada foi o tratamento mais prevalente, 16 (41,03%). Vinte indivíduos (51,28%) se alimentavam por via oral. A média total (MT) do MDADI foi de 63,36. Na correlação da VF com o MDADI, observou-se associação significante entre MT, domínio emocional (DE) e domínio físico (DFis) com penetração para 5 ml. Penetração e aspiração com 20 ml determinou prejuízo para questão global (p=0,018 e p=0,0053), DE (p=0,0012 e p=0,027), DFis (p=0,0002 e p=0,0051) e MT (p=0,0023 e p=0,0299), respectivamente. A presença de estase não determinou piora da QV. Conclusão Pacientes tratados do CCP que apresentam penetração/aspiração demonstram impacto na qualidade de vida nos DE e DFis.
ABSTRACT Introduction The use of symptom-specific questionnaires on head and neck cancer (HNC), together with objective swallowing measures, can be sensitive to changes in quality of life (QoL) resulting from dysphagia, but this tool is not broadly used as a complement to clinical evaluations. Purpose To analyze the correlation between the M. D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) questionnaire and videofluoroscopy (VF) in patients treated for head and neck cancer. Methods This is a retrospective study with review of clinical data, VF and MDADI results. The study sample was composed of adult patients (>18 y.o.) treated for tumors at the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx, regardless of treatment type. For the VF examination, swallowing of 5 and 20 ml of nectar-thick liquids were considered. The Mann-Whitney nonparametric test was applied to evaluate the correlations between the MDADI and VF. Results Thirty-nine patients, mostly men (87.18%), with mean age of 61 years participated in the study. Most patients (16) presented oral cavity tumors (41.03%). Twenty-two patients were in advanced clinical stage (IV). Surgery was the most prevalent treatment (41.03%). Approximately half of the participants (20) received oral feeding. The total mean (TM) on the MDADI was 63.36. Comparison between VF and MDADI data showed significant correlation between TM, emotional domain (ED), and physical domain (PD) with penetration during the swallowing of 5 ml. Penetration and aspiration with 20 ml determined worse QoL on the global (p=0.018 and p=0.0053), emotional (p=0.0012 and p=0.027) and physical (p=0.0002 and p=0.0051) domains, and TM (p=0.0023 and p=0.0299), respectively. The presence of stasis did not determine worse QoL. Conclusion Patients treated for HNC who presented penetration/aspiration showed worse QoL on the emotional and physical domains of the MDADI.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate dental implant outcomes and to identify risk factors associated with implant failure over 12 years via dental records of patients attending an educational institution. Dental records of 202 patients receiving 774 dental implants from 2002 to 2014 were analyzed by adopting a more reliable statistical method to evaluate risk factors with patients as the unit [generalized estimating equation (GEE)]. Information regarding patient age at implantation, sex, use of tobacco, and history of systemic diseases was collected. Information about implant location in the arch region and implant length, diameter, and placement in a grafted area was evaluated after 2 years under load. Systemic and local risk factors for early and late implant failure were studied. A total of 18 patients experienced 25 implant failures, resulting in an overall survival rate of 96.8% (2.84% and 0.38% early and late implant failures, respectively). The patient-based survival rate was 91.8%. GEE univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that a significant risk factor for implant failure was the maxillary implant (p = 0.006 and p = 0.014, respectively). Bone grafting appeared to be a risk factor for implant failure (p = 0.054). According to GEE analyses, maxillary implants had significantly worse outcomes in this population and were considered to be a risk factor for implant failure. Our results suggested that implants placed in a bone augmentation area had a tendency to fail.

Introducción: Las patologías que podrían motivar el ingreso a una Sala de Reanimación (SR) son múltiples, y asimismo, presentarse en cualquier momento, independientemente del sexo y la edad. A pesar de esta versatilidad, no existen investigaciones que describan la realidad chilena y la literatura extranjera es escasa. En consecuencia, nuestro estudio buscó caracterizar clínico-demográficamente a los pacientes ingresados a SR del Hospital San Juan de Dios de Los Andes, Chile. Materiales y métodos: Estudio de corte transversal. Se trabajó con base de datos anonimizada. El tamaño muestral calculado fue de al menos 1014 sujetos (intervalo de confianza de 95%, precisión de 3%). Se incluyeron los ingresos entre enero de 2013 y junio de 2016, obteniendo una muestra de 1018 pacientes. Variables estudiadas: sexo, edad, diagnóstico general, diagnóstico específico, mes y horario. Se trabajó con Microsoft Excel® utilizando estadística descriptiva. Aprobado por comité éticocientífico. Resultados: 58,1% (n=593) hombres; 42,5% (n=434) mayores de 64 años. Diagnósticos generales más frecuentes: cardiovascular (50,3%) (n=512), neurológico (16,3%) (n=166) y traumático (11,7%) (n=119). Diagnósticos específicos más frecuentes: taquiarritmia (15,9%) (n=162) e infarto miocárdico (12,6%) (n=128). La mayor cantidad de ingresos se registró en enero, febrero y junio (promedio 28 ingresos), y entre las 20 y 00 hrs (22,8%) (n=232). Discusión: Existe un amplio predominio de las enfermedades cardiovasculares. La distribución por mes, sexo y edad parece estar supeditada al comportamiento de dicho grupo; no así la distribución por horarios, ya que las enfermedades cardiovasculares suelen presentarse matinalmente. En general, nuestros resultados coinciden con la literatura extranjera disponible.
Introduction: Admission to Resuscitation Room could be engendered by many different pathologies, which could appear at any time without regard to sex and age. Nevertheless, in spite of this versatility, there are no investigations that describe the Chilean reality, and the foreign literature is limited. Thus, our study sought to characterize clinically and demographically the patients admitted to RR of the Hospital San Juan de Dios de Los Andes, Chile. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out based on an anonymised database. The calculated sample size was at least 1014 subjects (95% confidence interval, 3% accuracy). Convenience sampling was used, including admissions between January of 2013 and June of 2016, obtaining a sample of 1018 patients. Variables studied: sex, age, general diagnosis, specific diagnosis, month and schedule. We worked with Microsoft Excel® using descriptive statistics. Approved by ethical-scientific committee. Results: 58.1% (n=593) of the sample were men; with a 42.5% (n=434) of the whole sample being older than 64 years of age. Most frequent general diagnoses: cardiovascular (50.3%) (n=512), neurological (16.3%) (n=166) and traumatic (11.7%) (n=119). Most frequent specific diagnoses: tachyarrhythmia (15.9%) (n=162) and myocardial infarction (12.6%) (n= 128). The highest amount of admission was registered in January, February and June (average 28), and between 8 P.M. and midnight (22.8%) (n=232). Discussion: There is an apparent predominance of cardiovascular diseases. The distribution by month, sex and age seems to be contingent on the behavior of this group. This is not the case for the distribution by schedules, since cardiovascular diseases usually appear during the morning. In general, our results coincide with the available foreign literature.

ABSTRACT Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of sunitinib treatment in a non-screened group of patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) treated by the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) at a single reference institution. Material and Methods: Retrospective cohort study, which evaluated patients with mRCC who received sunitinib between May 2010 and December 2013. Results: Fifty-eight patients were eligible. Most patients were male 41 (71%), with a median age of 58 years. Nephrectomy was performed in 41 (71%) patients with a median interval of 16 months between the surgery and initiation of sunitinib. The most prevalent histological subtype was clear cell carcinoma, present in 52 (91.2%) patients. In 50 patients (86%), sunitinib was the first line of systemic treatment. The main adverse effects were fatigue (57%), hypothyroidism (43%), mucositis (33%) and diarrhea (29%). Grade 3 and 4 adverse effects were infrequent: fatigue (12%), hypertension (12%), thrombocytopenia (7%), neutropenia (5%) and hand-foot syndrome (5%). Forty percent of patients achieved a partial response and 35% stable disease, with a disease control rate of 75%. Median progression free survival was 7.6 months and median overall survival was 14.1 months. Conclusion: Sunitinib treatment was active in the majority of patients, especially those with low and intermediate risk by MSKCC score, with manageable toxicity. Survival rates were inferior in this non-screened population with mRCC treated in the SUS.

ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an escalating medical and socioeconomic problem worldwide. Information concerning the causes of CKD, which is a prerequisite for reducing the disease burden, is sparse in Malaysia. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the attributable causes of CKD in an adult population at a tertiary referral hospital. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective study at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). METHODS: This was an analysis based on medical records of adult patients at HUSM. Data regarding demographics, laboratory investigations, attributable causes and CKD stage were gathered. RESULTS: A total of 851 eligible cases were included. The patients' mean age was 61.18 ± 13.37 years. CKD stage V was found in 333 cases (39.1%) whereas stages IV, IIIb, IIIa, and II were seen in 240 (28.2%), 186 (21.9%), 74 (8.7%) and 18 (2.1%), respectively. The percentage of CKD stage V patients receiving renal replacement therapy was 15.6%. The foremost attributable causes of CKD were diabetic nephropathy (DN) (44.9%), hypertension (HPT) (24.2%) and obstructive uropathy (9.2%). The difference in the prevalence of CKD due to DN, HPT and glomerulonephritis between patients ≤ 50 and > 50 years old was statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that DN and HPT are the major attributable causes of CKD among patients at a Malaysian tertiary-care hospital. Furthermore, the results draw attention to the possibility that greater emphasis on primary prevention of diabetes and hypertension will have a great impact on reduction of hospital admissions due to CKD in Malaysia.
RESUMO CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: Doença renal crônica (DRC) é um problema médico e socioeconômico crescente. As informações relativas às causas da DRC são pré-requisito para reduzir a carga da doença, e são escassas na Malásia. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar as causas atribuíveis à DRC na população adulta de um hospital de referência terciária. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo retrospectivo realizado no Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). MÉTODOS: Análise de prontuários de pacientes adultos de HUSM. Foram obtidos dados demográficos, exames laboratoriais, causas atribuíveis e estágio da DRC. RESULTADOS: Um total de 851 casos elegíveis foi incluído. A idade média dos pacientes foi de 61,18 ± 13,37 anos. DRC fase V foi contabilizada em 333 casos (39,1%), enquanto casos de estágio IV, IIIb, IIIa e II foram 240 (28,2%), 186 (21,9%), 74 (8,7%) e 18 (2,1%), respectivamente. A porcentagem de pacientes com DRC estágio V recebendo a terapia de substituição renal foi 15,6%. As causas atribuíveis mais importantes da DRC foram nefropatia diabética (ND) (44,9%), hipertensão (24,2%) e uropatia obstrutiva (9,2%). A diferença na prevalência da DRC devido à ND, hipertensão e glomerulonefrite entre pacientes ≤ 50 anos e > 50 anos de idade foi estatisticamente significativa. CONCLUSÃO: Nossos resultados sugerem que a ND e a hipertensão são as principais causas atribuíveis da DRC em pacientes sob cuidados terciários na Malásia. Os resultados apontam para a possibilidade de maior ênfase na prevenção primária da diabetes e hipertensão como impactante na redução das internações hospitalares devidas a DRC na Malásia.
