- Abstract
After studying 109 placentas from normal pregnancies to term, fulfilled entirely in height (Juliaca, 12,000 feet above sea level), and 100 of sea level (Lima), the results - prior rigorous statistical control - can be summarized as follows: height it found: a) A significant preponderance of "other forms" of placenta, besides round or oval; b) rounded placentas were thicker than those in the group "other forms"; c) it showed oval shape stability proportions. These trends increase with higher age and parity of mother. At sea level there is a relationship between the central insertion of the umbilical cord and newborns of greater weight and size. At altitude, the lack of relationship between cord insertion and weight of newborn means that other factors control the weight of the newborn in hypoxic conditions. At altitude, a significant predominance central cord insertion is present in maternal age. Any superimposed to hypoxia, provocation would increase the tendency to a deviation from normal. Luego de haber estudiado 109 placentas provenientes de gestaciones normales a término, cumplidas íntegramente en la altura (Juliaca, 12,000 pies de altitud), y 100 de nivel del mar (Lima), los resultados - previo riguroso control estadístico - pueden resumirse así: En la altura se ha encontrado: a) Una preponderancia significativa de "otras formas" de placenta, aparte de redondeada u oval; b) las placentas de forma redondeada fueron de mayor espesor que aquellas correspondientes al grupo "otras formas"; c) la forma oval mostró estabilidad de proporciones. Esas tendencias aumentan con la mayor edad y paridad de la madre. A nivel del mar hay relación entre inserción central de cordón umbilical y recién nacidos de mayor peso y talla. En la altura, la ausencia de relación entre inserción de cordón y peso de recién nacido significa que otros factores controlan el peso del recién nacido en condiciones de hipoxia. En la altura, un predominio significativo de inserción central de cordón se hace presente a mayor edad materna. Cualquier provocación sobreañadida a la hipoxia, aumentaría la tendencia a una desviación de lo normal.

thrombolysis ,Myocardial Infarction ,angioplasty - Abstract
Antecedentes: Desde el año 2005, se ha implementado en nuestro país un conjunto de políticas públicas para permitir un acceso universal al tratamiento trombolítico a los pacientes con infarto agudo del miocardio (IAM). Para evaluar sus resultados es importante establecer los estándares locales de las distintas opciones de reperfusión. Objetivos: 1) Comparar la mortalidad precoz y alejada de los pacientes con IAM sometidos a angioplastía primaria (angioplastía) versus los sometidos a trombolisis, en Chile. 2) Establecer los factores de riesgo de mortalidad en estos pacientes. Métodos: Utilizando los registros nacionales de angioplastía (RENAC) y de IAM (GEMI), seleccionamos a todos los pacientes con IAM tratados con angioplastía o trombolisis, durante los años 2003 y 2004. Entre ellos, comparamos mediante prueba de t de Student o chi-cuadrado, según correspondiera, sus características básales y su mortalidad hospitalaria, a 30 días, ya 12 y 24 meses. Además se hizo análisis de regresión logística multivariado para identificar los factores que independientemente se asociaron a mayor riesgo de mortalidad. Resultados: En el estudio se incluyeron 857 pacientes con IAM que recibieron trombolisis y 700 tratados con angioplastía. No hubo diferencias entre los grupos en cuanto a edad, sexo, incidencia de diabetes mellitus, hipertensión arterial, hiperlipidemia ni antecedentes de IAM previo. La mortalidad fue significativamente menor en los pacientes tratados con angioplastía (HR crudo: 0,65; 95% IC: 0,49-0,86, p=0,03). La diferencia fue evidente tanto para la mortalidad precoz como para la alejada. Así, alcanzó un 10,6 vs 6,3% (p

Myocardial reperfusion ,Thrombolytic therapy ,Myocardial infarction - Abstract
Background: In 2005 the Chilean government started a health care reform (AUGE) that guarantees medical treatment for acute myocardial infarction. Aim: To quantify the impact ofAUGE on the management and inhospital mortality of STEMI in a group of Chilean hospitals. Material and methods: Three thousand five hundred and forty six patients with STEMI from 10 hospitals that perform thrombolysis as the main reperfusion therapy were analyzed. We compared demographic and clinical characteristics, hospital treatments and revascularization proceduresin two periods: before (2,623 patients) and after AUGE implementation (906 patients). Logistic regression was used to assess inhospital mortality according to AUGE in the entire sample and stratified by risk groups. Results: We found no differences in demographic and clinical characteristics between the two groups. During AUGE threre was a significant increase in the use of thrombolysis (50% to 60.5%), which was associated to an increase of hypotension from 29% to 35% (p

- Abstract
Physiotherapy rehabilitation must address the cultural preferences of the population, and as its main tool, physical activity should be analyzed from an intercultural health approach. This study aims to characterize the experiences of physical therapy care related to physical activity from an intercultural perspective. Using a qualitative approach, between June 2021 and March 2023, eight semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with adult Mapuche individuals, professionals in the field, and workers from the Indigenous Health Program in primary care centers in an urban municipality in Santiago, Chile. There are challenges to implementing interculturality, such as the gap between health programs, lack of professional training, and discrimination against the Mapuche community. In rehabilitation services, particularly in physical activity practices as a treatment strategy for Mapuche individuals, cultural relevance is limited or nonexistent.

- Abstract
Background and Objective: Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions requiring hospitalization. Even though its presentation during pregnancy is uncommon, it is a medical challenge. Currently, no studies compare the clinical outcomes between pregnant patients with acute pancreatitis and nonpregnant patients with acute pancreatitis. Our aim was to compare the characteristics and clinical outcomes of pregnant and nonpregnant women with acute pancreatitis., Methods: We conducted a retrospective study that included all patients admitted to our hospital with acute pancreatitis over a 10-year period. Demographics, general characteristics, and clinical outcomes were evaluated and compared between pregnant and nonpregnant women with acute pancreatitis, at a ratio of 1:5., Results: Over 10 years, 27 pregnant patients with acute pancreatitis were treated. Etiology was biliary in 96% and hypertriglyceridemia was the cause in 3.4% (1 patient). The mean patient age was 26.2 years (range 15-36 years). The main cause of acute pancreatitis was biliary disease (96%). Patients in the study group were in their first, second, or third trimester of pregnancy, at 7.4%, 33.3%, and 59.3%, respectively. In the comparison of pregnant versus nonpregnant patients with acute pancreatitis, there were no differences in age, hospital stay (7.37 vs. 10.8, P=.814), severity (severe 3.7% vs. 16.7%, P=.79), local complications (0% vs. 1.9%, P=.476), or mortality (0% vs. 1.9%, P=.476)., Conclusions: The clinical evolution of both groups with biliary acute pancreatitis was similar, with low morbidity and mortality., (Publicado por Masson Doyma México S.A.)

- Abstract
Background: Violence against health personnel is an understudied phenomenon in Mexico, which has increased during periods of health contingency., Objective: To identify the prevalence and type of violence against health professionals before and during the COVID-19 health contingency and determine the characteristics of the worker with the highest exposure., Material and Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study, carried out during April of 2020, in 562 health workers, who answered a sociodemographic identification card and a questionnaire to know the characteristics, types and consequences of aggression before and during the contingency, through an electronic and anonymous platform. A non-probabilistic sampling (snowball) was used in different states of Mexico., Results: 47.7% of the participants experienced aggressions, 12.8% verbal type and 34.9% verbal/physical aggressions during the last year, where women showed to be more attacked (chi squared = 12.12, p = 0.000). During health contingency, 16.8% perceived aggression, 13.2% verbal type and 3.6% verbal/physical aggression, with nurses being the most attacked (chi squared = 5.57, p = 0.018). A logistic regression model confirmed that being a woman and belonging to nursing profession has, respectively as far as 2.5 and 3 times more risk of suffering violence., Conclusions: Violence against health personnel requires immediate strategies, especially in critical periods in the community, where aggressions occur inside and outside of hospitals, which have an impact on worker's safety and health institutions., (Copyright: © 2020 Revista Medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social.)

- Abstract
The complex fractures caused by high energy trauma, poses a major surgical challenge. Vessels, skin and subcutaneous tissues. The Vacuum Assisted Therapy (VAC) has become a very useful tool since the last century's 90 decade. Based in the application of negative pressure to the wound bed, promotes healing by granulation tissue formation, keeping the wound clean and avoiding bacterial colonization. Used as a primary method or in combination with others, VAC therapy allows more conservative options in the treatment of these wounds. We describe the application of the VAC therapy in a clinical case with complex injury, showing its efficacy, added the benefit of the instillation therapy.

- Abstract
Infections caused by Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp. account for 90% of all fungal infections and are the most significant causes of human morbidity and mortality. Candida albicans causes between 50 and 60% of all nosocomial fungal infections. The wet mount test and culture are the screening methods used in leading clinical laboratories for the detection of Candida spp. However, yeasts should be strictly classified mainly based on their physiological and biochemical characteristics, through a series of morphological and biochemical laboratory tests. As a result of the increase in systemic fungal infections and the spread of antifungal medications, it was necessary to establish standardized in vitro sensitivity tests as a guideline for the therapeutic decision-making process. Among antifungal agents available today we find antimycotics such as amphotericin B, 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC), fluconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, and ravuconazole. Additionally, there is the recently developed group of echinocandines, which includes caspofungin, micafungin and anidulafungine., (Copyright 2008 Prous Science, S.A.U. or its licensors.

- Abstract
Background: In 2005 the Chilean government started a health care reform (AUGE) that guarantees medical treatment for acute myocardial infarction., Aim: To quantify the impact of AUGE on the management and in-hospital mortality of STEMI in a group of Chilean hospitals., Material and Methods: Three thousand five hundred and forty six patients with STEMI from 10 hospitals that perform thrombolysis as the main reperfusion therapy were analyzed. We compared demographic and clinical characteristics, hospital treatments and revascularization procedures in two periods: before (2,623 patients) and after AUGE implementation (906 patients). Logistic regression was used to assess in-hospital mortality according to AUGE in the entire sample and stratified by risk groups., Results: We found no differences in demographic and clinical characteristics between the two groups. During AUGE there was a significant increase in the use of thrombolysis (50% to 60.5%), which was associated to an increase of hypotension from 29% to 35% (p<0.02) and minor bleedings, from 1.6% to 3.4% (p<0.001). After AUGE there was a significant increase in the use of beta blockers (65% to 75%), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (70% to 76%), statins (48% to 58%), and aspirin (96% to 97.5%) (p<0.05). Global in-hospital mortality decreased from 12.0% to 8.6% (p<0.003) and from 10.6% to 6.8% (p<0.005) in patients treated with thrombolytics. The adjusted odds ratio for in-hospital mortality comparing after and before AUGE, was 0.64 (IC 95%, 0.47-0.86)., Conclusions: The implementation of AUGE has been successful in reducing in-hospital mortality of STEMI This has been achieved through a better use of evidence based medicine and reperfusion strategies.

- Abstract
Introduction: The surgery for herniated disc is the most common operation at the level of the lumbar spine. The failed surgery rates range between 10% and 40%, conforming what is known as Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). Return to work after surgery occurs in 70-85% of the cases. There are a few studies analysing the quality of life after the operation. The aims of this study are to know the incidence of the herniated disc lumbar failed surgery in our area, identify those factors influencing its development, and study behavioural parameters as the return to work and the quality of life at a middle term after surgery, also its relation with the success or failure surgery., Material and Methods: A descriptive transversal study of 117 patients operated for herniated lumbar disc during the first six months of the year 2003 is reported. In order to evaluate the incidence of failed surgery and the related factors, the clinical records were retrospectively analyzed. Ninety one patients were interviewed by phone using the Health Questionnaire SF-36, in order to analyze the non clinical factors related to FBSS, such as labour reincorporation, satisfaction with surgery, realization of rehabilitation treatment and quality of life after surgery. For the statistical analysis of the results, we used the program SPSS 11.01., Results: In a sample in which the proportion between both sexes was 1/1, and the middle age was over 45 years [35-54], in which the most frequent clinical symptom was right sciatica, lasting more than 6 months, correlated to disc herniation at L5-S1 level, 37.9% of the patients presented FBSS. Although there were a few patients with reoperation in our study, the incidence of FBSS in these patients was higher (52.9%) than in patients who suffered this surgery for first time (32%). The predictive clinical factors of an unfavourable result in patients operated on for first time were bilateral sciatica, the presence of stenosis associated to herniated disc and comorbidity factors. On the other hand the sociolabor factors identified were a low culture level and those working as drivers, building and service sectors. Return to work occurred in the 64% of the active workers before surgery. Only around 10% of patients were dissatisfied with surgical result and there was a significant relationship between this and the physical function, pain, vitality and emotional status in the SF-36 with the FBSS., Conclusions: One out of three patients operated of herniated lumbar disc in our area presented failed disc surgery and the return to work occurred in 2 out of three patients active before the operation. The failed surgery patient suffers from pain, that interferes and limits the labour and home activities. Furthermore, the patient presents frequent sensation of fatigue and exhaustion and also emotional problems that contribute to interfere with work and activities of the daily life.

- Abstract
Background: Fungal infections are nowadays more common in clinical practice. The most frequently isolated fungi are Candida and Cryptococcus. Infection due to Rhodotorula mucilaginosa is very uncommon. We describe here our experience with R. mucilaginosa fungemia, with emphasis on total parenteral nutrition related episodes., Method: A retrospective review identified 3 patients with R. mucilaginosa, and predisposing conditions, clinical features, treatment used and outcome were analyzed. The case definition includes the repeated isolation of R. mucilaginosa in several blood-cultures and/or the isolation of R. mucilaginosa in one single blood culture together with its isolation in any other site., Results: Three patients were identified. In all of them there are some defects in immune response (skin anergy in two, immunosuppressive therapy in the remaining patient), had an iv line placed, under antibiotic therapy and total parenteral nutrition. All factors could have been related to the development of R. mucilaginosa infection., Conclusion: Although its pathogenic role is controversial, in two or our patients R. mucilaginosa infections correlates well with clinical signs and symptoms of invasive infections (fever, hemodynamic changes). The treatment is still not clear.
