Fundamento: la diabetes mellitus es una enfermedad crónica. Una de sus complicaciones frecuentes es el pie diabético, para cuyo tratamiento se utiliza el Heberprot-P. Objetivo: describir los resultados de la aplicación de Heberprot-P para el tratamiento de la úlcera del pie diabético. Métodos: estudio descriptivo prospectivo realizado en la Consulta de Atención al Diabético, durante el periodo de abril 2009 a abril 2016. La muestra estuvo conformada por los 41 pacientes con úlcera de pie diabético mayores de 20 años, a los cuales se les ha aplicado el tratamiento con Heberprot-P. Se analizó: edad, enfermedades asociadas, años de evolución de la enfermedad, dosis del medicamento y cicatrización. Resultados: predominaron las pacientes femeninas (56,1 %); el grupo etario de 60-69 años (34,2 %) y la hipertensión arterial como enfermedad asociada (48,8 %); el 43, 9 % tenía una evolución de la diabetes de 10-19 años; según clasificación Wagner predominó el grupo III con un 48, 8 % y el II con un 31, 7 %; se aplicaron de 5 a 9 dosis de Heberprot-P en el 43,5 %. El 78 % logró una cicatrización completa. Conclusiones: en las tres cuartas partes de los pacientes con úlcera del pie diabético se logró la cicatrización completa con la aplicación de la terapéutica del Heberprot-P.

Foundation: diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease. One of its frequent complications is the diabetic foot. For its treatment Heberprot-P is used.Objective: to describe the results of the application of Heberprot-P for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer. Methods: prospective descriptive study conducted in the Diabetic Care Consultation, during the period from April 2009 to April 2016. The sample consisted of the 41 patients with diabetic foot ulcer older than 20 years, to whom the treatment with Heberprot-P. We analyzed: age, associated diseases, years of evolution of the disease, medication dose and healing. Results: female patients predominated (56.1%); the age group of 60-69 years (34.2%) and hypertension as an associated disease (48.8%); 43, 9% had an evolution of diabetes of 10-19 years; according to the Wagner classification, group III prevailed with 48.8% and II with 31.7%; 5 to 9 doses of Heberprot-P were applied in 43.5%. 78% achieved complete healing. Conclusions: in three quarters of patients with diabetic foot ulcer complete healing was achieved with the application of Heberprot-P therapy.

In the last years Acinetobacter baumannii has become one of the germs of higher clinical relevance, which really turns it into a paradigm in the nosocomial multi-drug resistant infections. The present work had the objective of describing the resistance mechanisms of Acinetobacter baumannii to multiple drugs, so as to explain current therapeutic strategies in multidrug-resistant strains; for that 37 bibliographic resources were consulted. The mechanisms involved in the micro-organism resistance include inhibition to the antibiotic by β-lactamases, decreasing of antibiotic permeability due to porin loses, presence of efflux pumps and drug action site disturbances. It is recommended that the treatment of choice in multi-drug resistant strains is colistin and tigecycline, though other drugs may be used so as their combination.
