La histoplasmosis ocurre ocasionalmente en felinos con y sin factores predisponentes. Un gato doméstico macho, de tres años fue referido al Hospital de Especies Menores y Silvestres de la Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica con signos de hipotermia, pérdida de peso, anorexia y rinitis supurativa bilateral crónica. El paciente murió durante la estabilización clínica. Se realizó una necropsia completa e histopatología en donde se encontró inflamación granulomatosa con presencia de múltiples estructuras levaduriformes intracelulares compatibles con Histoplasma spp. en varios órganos. Los cultivos micológicos realizados al tejido pulmonar resultaron positivos para Histoplasma capsulatum. Se discuten los posibles factores implicados en este caso.

Background: Half of smokers will die of an illness related to smoking. The habitual consumption of cigarettes is attributed to 30% of cardiovascular accidents. For this reason, smoking(SMK) represents one of the main coronary risk factors. The patients who continue SMK after an acute coronary episode is not negligible, and relapse is frequent. The Smoking Subunits within the Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs(CRP)can facilitate the control of this drug dependence. Education is a basic step for prevention and SMK cessation. Aim: To evaluate the knowledge about SMK of patients in a CRP. Method: Observational study. Patients referred to the CRP who carried out a questionnaire on knowledge of SMK of the Spanish Society of Cardiology with several items:symptoms, treatment, recommendations, strategies, benefits of smoking cessation and the influence on cardiovascular diseases. Descriptive statistics were used. Result: 60 questionnaires were analyzed.90% of patients consider SMK a chronic disease with treatment. 40% believe that the treatments are effective.85% believe that we must take the positive decision to quit and include healthy habits. 90% think that passive smokers suffer from eye irritation and cough. 70% think that a balanced diet, exercise and a home smoke-free are recommended.80% think that SMK influences the aging of the skin, infarction, sudden death and fatigue.80% believe that a good strategy is to set a date. 95% think that SMK increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in the long term.70% know its physiopathological effects. Conclusion: The majority of patients included in a CRP have adequate knowledge about SMK. Tobacco education should be emphasized towards primary prevention.

El Síndrome del Túnel del Carpo es el trauma acumulativo más frecuente y la patología que los usuarios de computador sufren con mayor regularidad. En Terapia Ocupacional se constituye un gran porcentaje de los motivos de consulta. La intervención ocupacional se inicia con una valoración a través de la observación de diferentes signos, la recreación de los síntomas por medio de pruebas sensitivas y motrices y la confirmación del diagnostico con la utilización de pruebas ocupacionales, así como la valoración de la influencia sobre lafuncionalidad e independencia en la ejecución de las diferentes actividades de la vida diaria. El tratamiento tiene como objetivo minimizar los efectos de la inflamación, reducir el dolor y mantener el deslizamiento normal de los tendones flexores dentro del túnel carpiano mediante un programa deferulaje, modificación de la actividad, técnicas de protección articular y de conservación de energía y relajación.

El síndrome del túnel del carpo (STC) es el trauma acumulativo más frecuente del mundo y la patología que los usuarios de computador sufren con mayor regularidad; es así como en terapia ocupacional este síndrome constituye un gran porcentaje de los motivos de consulta. El tratamiento terapéutico del STC, tiene como objetivo minimizar la inflamación, reducir el dolor y mantener el deslizamiento normal de los tendones flexores dentro del túnel del carpo, mediante un programa, modificación de la actividad, técnicas de protección articular y de conservación de energía. El objetivo del presente trabajo es evaluar la efectividad de la férula U-Mano para el tratamiento del STC, basandose en la relación costo/beneficio para los pacientes, en comparación con la férula convencional utilizada en el medio.

Six Costa Rican Chagas' disease patients, with wellknown acute phase history and no specific treatment were examined in several occasions during 39, 24, 32, 16 and 14 years, respectively, from the onset. Nome of the patients presented heart abnormalities as revealed by the conventional EKG and ergometry, exceptfor one of them with an incomplete block of the right bundle branch. Also, no alterations of the oesophagus motility was detected manometrically except for another patient who presented a slight hypersensivity reaction to a pharmacological test (Mecholyl). Three out of six patients became serologically negative in 1981, remaining as such until 1986. Besides the conventional serology, the search of protective ("lytic") antibodies was also performed in 1985 and 1986, being completely negative in one of the "cured" patients and dubious in the other two. The hypothesis that these three patients had as spontaneous cure, based on the clinical, serological and parasitologica l findings is discussed.Um grupo de pacientes com doença de Chagas vem sendo acompanhado desde a fase aguda, na Costa Rica, com tempos de evolução entre 14 e 44 anos (mediana de 32 anos). Em todos a doença aguda foi bem comprovada, não sendo realizado tratamento específico em nenhum deles, contra o Trypanosoma cruzi. Todos apresentaram pelo menos uma sorologia positiva ao longo da fase crônica, mas em três deles as técnicas sorológicas convencionais se tomaram parmanentemente negativas em diversos exames ealizados em diferentes laboratórios, entre 1981 e 1986. Nestes três pacientes também a pesquisa de anticorpos líticos foi negativa (um caso) ou negativo-duvidosa (dois casos), permanecendo consistentemente positiva nos três outros pacientes com sorologia convencional reagente. Atualmente todos os seis pacientes se apresentam assintomáticos e com xenodiagnóstico negativo. Apenas um deles apresenta distúrbio eletrocardiogràfico mínimo e inespecífico (bloqueio incompleto do ramo direito) e, um outro, pequeno retardo do trânsito esofagiano à prova de metacolina. Levanta-se a hipótese de cura espontânea da doença de Chagas, fato que deve ser raro e que merece maior investigação.
