RESUMO

Choosing Wisely is an initiative by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and ABIM Foundation to deter unnecessary medical treatments and procedures. Faced with the burden of modern technologies and treatments, it is crucial to identify practices lacking value in daily care. The Latin American and Caribbean Society (SLACOM), comprising cancer control experts, deems it vital to tailor this initiative for enhancing cancer care in the region. Through a modified DELPHI methodology involving two rounds of electronic questionnaires and a hybrid meeting to discuss key points of contention, ten essential recommendations were identified and prioritised to avoid harmful oncology procedures in our region. These consensus-based recommendations, contextualised for Latin America, have been compiled and shared to benefit patients. The Scientific Committee, consisting of prominent oncologists and health experts, collaborates remotely to drive this project forward.

RESUMO

Las lesiones congénitas de la línea media nasofrontal son anormalidades congénitas raras como quistes dermoides, gliomas nasales y encefaloceles, cuya ocurrencia es de 1:20,000 a 40,000 nacimientos. Su importancia radica en la conexión con el sistema nervioso central. La biopsia de las lesiones con comunicación intracraneal, producen fístulas de líquido cefalorraquídeo o meningitis. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de lesiones de la línea media nasofrontal en un hospital de tercer nivel de referencia regional y su relación con otro tipo de malformaciones. Material y Métodos: Diseño del estudio: Transversal retrospectivo. Pacientes masculinos y femeninos de 1 mes a 13 años de edad con lesiones congénitas de la línea media nasofrontal, atendidos en el hospital infantil entre 1990 a 2005. Se obtuvo mediante un muestreo no probabilística de casos consecutivos. Análisis estadísticos: Por medio del paquete estadístico para las ciencias sociales (SPSS) versión 13.0 se realizó una estadística descriptiva que incluyo a la mediana como medida de tendencia central y la distribución de frecuencia y proporción como medida de dispersión. Resultados: Se realizó una revisión de expedientes clínicos desde 1990 al 2005, encontrando 38 expedientes de 67 revisados, se excluyeron 29 expedientes por corresponder al diagnóstico de encefaloceles occipitales. La prevalencia fue 38 casos en 15 años. La distribución por sexo de las lesiones de la línea medio nasofrontal en general fue ligeramente mayor en el sexo femenino con 22 casos y masculino 16 casos. Las lesiones de la línea media nasofrontal encontradas fueron encefaloceles, gliomas y quistes dermoides, en nuestra revisión predominó los encefaloceles que no presentaron alteración asociada a nivel del sistema nervioso central y 11 casos si presentaron alguna alteración asociada; encontrando 5 casos conhidrocefalia y/o quistes temporales u occipitales y 6 casos con agenecia del cuerpo calloso más hidrocefalia...


Congenital nasofrontal lesions of the midline are rare congenital abnormalities such as dermoid cysts, nasal gliomas and encephaloceles, with an occurrence of 1: 20,000 to 40,000 births. Its importance lies in the connection to the central nervous system. The biopsy of the lesions with intracranial communication, produce cerebrospinal fluid leaks or meningitis. Objective: To determine the prevalence of midline nasofrontal lesions in a tertiary hospital of regional referral and it's relationship with other malformations. Material and Methods: Study Design: Transversal retrospective. Male and female patients aged 1 month to 13 years of age with congenital lesions of the nasofrontal midline, treated at Children'spspital from 1990 to 2005. Sample: was obtained by a non-probabilistic sample of consecutive cases. Through the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 13.0 which included descriptive statistics: median as a measure of central tendency and frequency distribution and proportion as a measure of dispersion. Results: a review of clinical records was conducted from 1990 to 2005, finding 38 of 67 records reviewed, 29 files were excluded because they correspond to the diagnosis of occipital encephalocele. Prevalence was 38 cases in 15 years. The gender distribution of nasofrontal midline lesions was slightly higher in females with 22 cases and 16 cases in males. The midline nasofrontal lesions found were midline encephalocele, gliomas and dermoid cysts. In our review most encephaloceles were not associated with the central nervous system and 11 cases did have an associated disorder; 5 cases with hydrocephalus and / or temporal or occipital cysts and 6 cases with nondevelopment of the corpus callosum plus hydrocephalus...

RESUMO

Background. The prevalence of varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection has been poorly studied in Latin America. The aim of this work was to study the seroprevalence of antibody to VZV infection in Mexico. Infection was determined in 3,737 individuals. Methods. Samples were collected during a national serologic survey performed during 1987-1988 and represented individuals 1- to 29-years-old from all socioeconomic levels and from rural and urban communities throughout the country. Antibodies anti-VZV were measured with a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (VARELISA Merck, Germany). Results. In the population studied, 464 individuals (12.4 percent) were seronegative or susceptible to infection, whereas about 17.0 percent of individuals 1- to 19-years-old were susceptible to infection. Between the ages of 20 to 24 years, 8.4 percent were susceptible and between 25 to 29 years, 5.0 percent of persons were still susceptible to infection. Conclusions. Socioeconomic level, density of population, crowding, and gender were not found as risk factors for susceptibility to VZV infection in adolescents and young adults. Low educational level was found as a risk factor for susceptibility. High proportions of adolescents and young adults in Mexico are susceptible to VZV infection and should receive special attention when desingning vaccination programs
