The osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a clinical manifestation of a condition of osteochondrosis (OC), which affects humans and animals. This is a condition resulting in endochondral ossification to change, which leads to a focal thickening of cartilage affecting usually higher pressure areas. In dogs, the OC occurs in specific anatomical locations and often involves joint surfaces that carry weight. The most frequently affected site is the flow of the proximal humeral head. However, it can also occur in the area distomedial humeral trochlea, the femoral condyles, the femoral trochlea and the medial trochlear ridge and lateral talus. This paper aims exemplifies it, through a case report, affecting the scapular humeral joint of a dog. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Polioencephalomalacia (PEM) is a nervous disease that affects ruminants, has a worldwide distribution and causes significant economic losses. PEM is abundantly described and studied in cattle and small ruminants, but there is little information about the disease in buffaloes, especially in Brazil. The objective of this work is to describe the clinical and pathological aspects of an outbreak of PEM in buffaloes in a feedlot in the state of Pará, Brazil. The outbreak occurred in a flock of 76 Murrah buffaloes, with an average age of five months, in a feedlot. Twenty-eight of these buffaloes became ill, and thirteen showed neurological signs and died. Two buffaloes underwent necropsy. The brain and fragments of various abdominal and thoracic cavity organs were fixed in 10% formalin and sent for histopathological examination. In the frontal, parietal, and occipital telencephalic lobes, the convolutions were flattened and yellowish, and when cut, there was a clear line of demarcation between the superficial and deep layers. Histologically, the intermediate layers of the cerebral cortex showed mild to moderate vacuolization of the neuropil, moderate enlargement of the perivascular, perineuronal, and periastrocyte spaces, moderate swelling and edema of astrocytes, and a large number of necrotic neurons. The work demonstrates that, despite being poorly documented in Brazil, PEM should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neurological syndromes in buffaloes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cuando en El ser y el tiempo (1927) Martin Heidegger establece que el Dasein —es decir, ese ente que “soy en cada caso yo mismo”— poseía, entre sus cualidades —existenciarios— la de “Ser-en-el-mundo” (In-der-Welt-sein), abrió una serie de posibilidades que aún no han sido comprendidas a cabalidad. En este ensayo intentaremos demostrar que de la negación del existenciario Ser-en-el-mundo se deriva una patología particular: el antropocentrismo. De tal patología derivan otras (extractivismo, consumismo, evasión, soberbia científica, afán salvador) que, en conjunto, permiten avanzar en la comprensión de la inacción humana ante el cambio climático, esa que, aunada a la sexta extinción masiva de las especies y la contaminación generalizada, pone a la humanidad ante un colapso civilizatorio de dimensiones incalculables.

Resumo: Este artigo busca problematizar como o discurso sobre a depressão, nas três primeiras edições do Manual diagnóstico e estatístico de transtornos mentais , efetuou a apropriação da contradição sofrimento-patologia. Para tanto, a análise foi orientada pelos princípios da análise de discurso francesa, de Michel Pêcheux, desenvolvida, no Brasil, por Eni Orlandi. O estudo salienta que: 1) as duas primeiras edições do manual apresentavam a depressão como efeito; a partir da terceira há um entendimento da depressão enquanto causa; 2) nas duas primeiras edições do manual, sofrimento e patologia são um único e mesmo objeto, já na terceira edição ocorre uma cisão entre essas esferas; 3) o mecanismo discursivo da antecipação pode contribuir para a compreensão do processo de apagamento do sujeito da enunciação pelo sujeito do enunciado nos manuais diagnósticos.

Introdução: a hanseníase apresenta potencial incapacitante secundário às reações hansênicas. Existe considerável número de indivíduos com episódios recorrentes de reação durante o tratamento. Objetivo: identificar características clínicas e histopatológicas que diferenciem pacientes com reação hansênica ou não. Método: estudo prospectivo de julho/2015 a dezembro/2016, com avaliação de indivíduos com diagnóstico novo de hanseníase atendidos no serviço de dermatologia do Complexo Hospitalar Clementino Fraga, na cidade de João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brasil. Os sujeitos foram classificados segundo os critérios de Ridley-Jopling/Madrid e por classificação operacional. Realizaram exame histopatológico no momento do diagnóstico e após 12 meses, e reavaliados após 6 e 12 meses do diagnóstico. Resultados: o grupo sem reação apresentou maior número de lesões com nítida delimitação. Observou-se predomínio das formas multibacilares entre indivíduos com reação. Quanto ao grau de incapacidade, o grupo com reação apresentou maior número de indivíduos com grau de incapacidade maior que zero. No grupo sem reação, encontrou-se menor frequência de fatores predisponentes. Notou-se correlação positiva do índice baciloscópico de biópsia cutânea com a ocorrência de reações. Discussão: a ausência de delimitação periférica das lesões pode se correlacionar com o surgimento de reação hansênica. O predomínio de reação entre os indivíduos que apresentavam grau de incapacidade maior que zero sugere associação de deficiência física e doença multibacilar. A ausência de fatores predisponentes aponta menor risco de reação hansênica. Observou- se correlação positiva do índice baciloscópico da biópsia com a ocorrência das reações. Conclusão: a significativa prevalência de reações graves enfatizam a importância do estudo contínuo da hanseníase e a necessidade de identificar precocemente as características clínicas sugestivas de reações hansênicas.

Introdução: O tumor de células granulares (TCG) é uma neoplasia rara e predominantemente benigna, frequentemente localizada na região da cabeça e pescoço. Comumente, afeta adultos entre 40 e 60 anos, com maior incidência em mulheres. O TCG mamário, representando de 5% a 15% de todos os TCG, demanda diagnóstico histopatológico em virtude de semelhanças clínicas e radiológicas com malignidades mamárias. Tipicamente, manifesta-se como massa solitária palpável, embora a multicentricidade ocorra em até 20% dos casos, seja em tumores mamários ou de outros sítios. Relato do caso: Paciente, 43 anos, com nódulo hipoecoico classificado como BI-RADS 5 na ultrassonografia, localizado no quadrante superolateral da mama esquerda, às duas horas, de formato irregular, medindo 7,0 x 6,0 mm nos maiores eixos e distando 50 mm da papila. Por ser radiologicamente suspeito, foi realizada a core biopsy mamária, que microscopicamente foi categorizada como lesão de potencial maligno incerto. A análise imuno-histoquímica revelou positividade para S100 e CD68, indicando origem em células de Schwann, associada à negatividade para citoqueratinas e receptores hormonais, desfavorecendo a origem epitelial dos carcinomas. A conduta terapêutica foi a exérese cirúrgica completa do nódulo, e a análise histopatológica confirmou tratar-se de TCG. Conclusão: Relatar essa neoplasia faz-se importante em razão da raridade da condição e sua capacidade de mimetizar cânceres mamários.

In recent decades, there have been significant advances in the diagnosis of diffuse gliomas, driven by the integration of novel technologies. These advancements have deepened our understanding of tumor oncogenesis, enabling a more refined stratification of the biological behavior of these neoplasms. This progress culminated in the fifth edition of the WHO classification of central nervous system (CNS) tumors in 2021. This comprehensive review article aims to elucidate these advances within a multidisciplinary framework, contextualized within the backdrop of the new classification. This article will explore morphologic pathology and molecular/genetics techniques (immunohistochemistry, genetic sequencing, and methylation profiling), which are pivotal in diagnosis, besides the correlation of structural neuroimaging radiophenotypes to pathology and genetics. It briefly reviews the usefulness of tractography and functional neuroimaging in surgical planning. Additionally, the article addresses the value of other functional imaging techniques such as perfusion MRI, spectroscopy, and nuclear medicine in distinguishing tumor progression from treatment-related changes. Furthermore, it discusses the advantages of evolving diagnostic techniques in classifying these tumors, as well as their limitations in terms of availability and utilization. Moreover, the expanding domains of data processing, artificial intelligence, radiomics, and radiogenomics hold great promise and may soon exert a substantial influence on glioma diagnosis. These innovative technologies have the potential to revolutionize our approach to these tumors. Ultimately, this review underscores the fundamental importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in employing recent diagnostic advancements, thereby hoping to translate them into improved quality of life and extended survival for glioma patients.

Resumen Introducción: Los camioneros de la empresa “Nortev Spa” se exponen diariamente a situaciones de alto riesgo, debido a que se encuentran manejando, corren el riesgo de afectar su salud, ya que pueden verse involucrados en accidentes de tránsito, poniendo en riesgo sus vidas y las de otras personas en la carretera generando lesiones y/o la muerte de ellas. Indirectamente su salud se ve afectada de otras maneras. Objetivo: Determinar patologías prevalentes que afectan la salud de camioneros pertenecientes a una empresa chilena. Método: estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, con muestra de 29 camioneros. Para la recogida de datos se aplicó la encuesta que tiene por nombre “Patologías prevalentes que afectan el desempeño laboral de los transportistas”, validada en Argentina 2016. Resultados: Entre los resultados se destaca que el 48,3% (14 trabajadores) de los camioneros sufren de dolor de espalda, seguido de estrés con un 34,5% (10 trabajadores) siendo más frecuente en hombres 96,6% (28 trabajadores). Conclusiones: Se puede concluir que debido a las extensas jornadas de trabajo la salud de la mayoría de los camioneros se ve afectada de manera directa, presentando molestias musculoesqueléticas lo que podría estar relacionado con la edad y los hábitos de vida que tienen.

Background. Teratomas are neoplasms that arise from pluripotent germ cells, derived from two or more layers of germ cells. They are classified as mature tumors (cystic or solid), which contain well-differentiated tissues, or as immature tumors, which contain immature and embryonic structures. Its most frequent location is the female and male gonads; the mesenteric location is rare and approximately 40 cases have been described in the world literature. Within the diagnostic and therapeutic approach, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are used to characterize the lesion, assess intra-abdominal extension and the relationship with other structures. The diagnosis must be confirmed by histopathological examination. Clinical case. A 56-year-old female patient with a history of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the left breast in remission. In follow-up studies, incidental abdominal tomography finding of an abdominopelvic lesion dependent on the mesentery at the level of the mesogastrium, smooth contours with fat-liquid level. Extension studies with negative tumor markers. Results: Due to high clinical and imaging suspicion of teratoma, the patient was taken to resection of the lesion. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of mature cystic teratoma of the mesentery. Conclusion: Mesenteric teratoma is a rare clinical entity and is considered one of the differential diagnoses of an abdominal mass with a compressive effect. Diagnosis is mainly based on clinical examination and imaging findings. Early surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment; laparoscopic or open approach depends on the clinical characteristics and the experience of the surgeon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background. Melanoma is the malignant proliferation of melanocytes associated with aggressive behavior. The objective of this study was to determine the histological variables of cutaneous melanoma. Methods: Observational, cross-sectional, descriptive, retrospective study carried out with reports of pathologies with a diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma in a pathology laboratory in Cali between 2016-2021. The variables were age, sex, location, subtype, Breslow thickness, ulceration, margins, mitosis, lymphovascular invasion, neurotropism, tumoral regression, Clark level and tumor infiltration by lymphocytes. Results: One hundred and six reports were obtained and 54 were excluded due to duplication. A descriptive analysis was made on the 52 records that were included, the mean age was 61 years, with a higher frequency in women with 55.8%. Of the 33 cases where the histological subtype was specified, the most frequent was superficial extension with 66.6%, followed by acral lentiginous with 18.1% and nodular with 15.2%. The most frequent location was in the extremities (61.5%); the most common Breslow was IV (34.6%), and the most frequent Clark was IV (34.6%). Ulceration was in 40.4%. The nodular subtype was the most aggressive presentation where 100% presented Breslow IV. Conclusions. The most common subtype of melanoma was that of superficial extension. In our population, the second most frequent was the acral lentiginous subtype, which was always located on the extremities. More than 50% of the melanomas had Breslow greater than or equal to III, which affects the prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aggressive osteoblastoma (AO) is an uncommon bone tumor that represents a borderline lesion between osteoblastoma and osteosarcoma. The vertebral column, the sacrum, the pelvis, and jaw/craniofacial bones are primarily affected. Aggressive osteoblastoma does not metastasize and is treated by surgical resection. The authors report a case of AO in a 9-year-old female patient presenting with 5th and 7th cranial nerve palsy. Prior pathological history included resection of an expansile nodule in the left temporal bone. Conventional radiological examination and computed tomography (CT) of the skull revealed an osteoblastic lesion arising in the petrous portion of the left temporal bone, measuring 5.2 cm in the largest dimension. The patient was subjected to partial surgical resection of the process. Microscopy revealed a primary neoplastic bone composed of numerous epithelioid round osteoblasts disposed in solid sheets and with mild atypia, large eosinophilic cytoplasm, and an eccentric, ovoid nucleus. The process exhibited loose stroma, low mitotic index, osteoid formation, and a few osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells. The diagnosis of AO was thus established. After 5 months of clinical follow-up, the patient is asymptomatic, without evidence of tumoral growth on CT scans.

Las asignaturas de Patología general y Anatomía patológica son impartidas durante el quinto y sexto semestre de la carrera de Medicina de la Universidad de Concepción. En estas se utiliza un estilo de enseñanza tipo aula invertida y se realiza una actividad práctica de “Diseño de Casos Clínico-Patológicos” (DCCP), iniciada en sala de patología quirúrgica, donde los estudiantes vivencian en forma real el trabajo del anatomopatólogo en grupos de 3 a 4 personas, realizando desde el dictado macroscópico hasta el diagnóstico microscópico, con una presentación final del caso a estudiantes y docentes. Se realizó un estudio observacional analítico transversal a una muestra de 87 estudiantes que cursaron ambas asignaturas. Se efectuó un análisis descriptivo cuantitativo y un método cualitativo de análisis de contenido, codificándose y clasificándose las respuestas de 2 instrumentos. La satisfacción general de la actividad DCCP fue de 82,4%, siendo percibida como innovadora y útil para el desarrollo de habilidades y aprendizajes teóricos de patología, que prepara a los alumnos de mejor manera para enfrentar los desafíos del mundo real como profesionales de la salud. No se debe olvidar la importancia de considerar las preferencias y necesidades de los estudiantes al diseñar estrategias de enseñanza. La evaluación cualitativa de la actividad DCCP y de las asignaturas entregó valiosa información para un mejoramiento continuo; reafirmando la importancia de incorporar éstas en las evaluaciones de prácticas docentes. Se concluye que la actividad práctica DCCP ayuda de mejor forma a los estudiantes de medicina a entender los aspectos macroscópicos y microscópicos de la Anatomía Patológica; superando incluso al aula invertida. La combinación de enfoques centrados en el alumno, trabajo en entornos reales, un apoyo docente adecuado y material de estudio de calidad puede conducir a una experiencia de aprendizaje más efectiva y satisfactoria para los estudiantes en estas disciplinas.

Introducción. El melanoma es la proliferación maligna de melanocitos asociado a un comportamiento agresivo. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las variables histológicas del melanoma cutáneo. Métodos. Estudio observacional retrospectivo, transversal descriptivo, realizado con reportes de patologías de pacientes con diagnóstico de melanoma cutáneo en un laboratorio de patología en Cali, Colombia, entre 2016-2021. Se incluyeron las variables edad, sexo, localización, subtipo, espesor de Breslow, ulceración, márgenes, mitosis, invasión linfovascular, neurotrofismo, regresión tumoral, nivel de Clark e infiltración tumoral por linfocitos. Resultados. Se obtuvieron 106 reportes y fueron excluidos 54 por duplicación. Se incluyeron 52 registros, la media de edad fue de 61 años, con una mayor frecuencia de mujeres (55,8 %). De los 33 casos donde se especificó el subtipo histológico, el más frecuente fue el de extensión superficial (66,6 %), seguido del acral lentiginoso (18,1 %) y nodular con (15,2 %). La localización más frecuente fue en extremidades (61,5 %). El espesor de Breslow más común fue IV (34,6 %) y el nivel de Clark más frecuente fue IV (34,6 %). La ulceración estuvo en el 40,4 %. El subtipo nodular fue el de presentación más agresiva, donde el 100 % presentaron espesor de Breslow IV. Conclusiones. El subtipo de melanoma más común en nuestra población fue el de extensión superficial; el segundo en frecuencia fue el subtipo acral lentiginoso, que se localizó siempre en extremidades. Más del 50 % de los melanomas tenían espesor de Breslow mayor o igual a III, lo que impacta en el pronóstico.

Introducción. Los teratomas son neoplasias que surgen a partir de células germinales pluripotenciales y derivan de dos o más capas de células. Se clasifican en tumores maduros, que contienen tejidos bien diferenciados, o inmaduros, que contienen estructuras inmaduras y embrionarias. Su localización más frecuente son las gónadas; la ubicación mesentérica es infrecuente y se han descrito aproximadamente 40 casos en la literatura mundial. Dentro del abordaje diagnóstico y terapéutico, se emplea la tomografía computarizada y la resonancia magnética nuclear para caracterizar la lesión, evaluar la extensión intraabdominal y la relación con otras estructuras. El diagnóstico debe confirmarse mediante el examen histopatológico. Caso clínico. Paciente femenina de 56 años, con antecedente de carcinoma ductal infiltrante de mama izquierda en remisión, en estudios de seguimiento con hallazgo incidental en tomografía de abdomen de lesión abdominopélvica dependiente del mesenterio, contornos lisos y nivel grasa-líquido. Estudios de extensión con marcadores tumorales negativos. Resultados. Por la alta sospecha clínica e imagenológica de teratoma, fue llevada a resección quirúrgica de la lesión. El examen histopatológico confirmó el diagnóstico de teratoma quístico maduro del mesenterio. Conclusión. El teratoma mesentérico es una entidad clínica rara, que debe ser considerado como uno de los diagnósticos diferenciales de una masa abdominal con efecto compresivo. El diagnóstico se basa principalmente en el examen clínico y los hallazgos imagenológicos. La escisión quirúrgica temprana es el pilar del tratamiento; el abordaje laparoscópico o abierto depende de las características clínicas y la experiencia del cirujano.

Presentamos un caso de leucemia mieloide aguda con diferenciación monocítica en un paciente varón de 58 años, captado por atención de emergencia en el Hospital Nacional Alberto Sabogal Sologuren. Se describen los hallazgos clínicos y de laboratorio del caso particular, con énfasis en la citomorfología y el inmunofenotipo. Asimismo, se hace una exposición general de la enfermedad y por tratarse de una neoplasia hematológica poco frecuente, se proponen recomendaciones para su identificación y reporte desde el laboratorio.

This paper aims to verify the effectiveness of the pile integrity test (PIT) for evaluating the presence of anomaly in short caisson foundation elements, more specifically reinforcement exposure due to an execution problem during concreting. The foundation elements tested belong to the expansion of the structure of an electricity substation in the municipality of Itá, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. In general, the PIT is not commonly used for caissons, due to the surface irregularities occurring along the shaft in this type of foundation. The obtained results showed that the PIT can promote assertiveness and safety when assessing the integrity of these foundation elements, as later confirmed at the site by excavating the problematic elements and performing visual inspection. Thus, the results may validate the use of the PIT as a tool for optimizing the executive control of cast-in-place foundations, even though a Brazilian technical standard on the use of the low strain integrity test for this purpose is still lacking.

An 80-year-old male presented with a 3-year history of progressive violaceous and edematous plaques on both hands. The remaining physical examination was unremarkable and systemic symptoms were absent. All complementary investigations were negative, including serology testing for human immunodeficiency virus. Skin biopsy revealed a dermal vascular proliferation, composed of angulated vessels dissecting collagen bundles, lined by flattened endothelial cells without atypia. Immunohistochemistry showed positive staining for human herpesvirus 8, CD31, and erythroblast transformation-specific-related gene, confirming the diagnosis of lymphangioma-like Kaposi's sarcoma (LLKS). LLKS represents a rare pathological variant of all Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) subtypes, which is noticeable for the lymphangioma-like spaces that are usually only focally found. We present a case of LLKS as a variant of classic KS to raise awareness among dermatologists for this uncommon morphologic expression of KS and its distinctive histologic pattern.

El 14 de noviembre se conmemora el “Día mundial de la diabetes”, fecha de nacimiento de Frederick Grant Banting, uno de los investigadores que aisló y utilizó la insulina en 1922, haciendo el reconocimiento a los trabajos previos de Nicolae Paulesco. La diabetes mellitus es uno de los principales problemas endocrinometabólicos en el mundo y es una patología en ascenso que es conocida desde la antigüedad, con la consideración de que, actualmente, es en los países en vías de desarrollo donde más se incrementa, lo que constituye un grave problema de salud pública en nuestra región y en Colombia. Además, por su carácter incurable y por la afectación que produce en los sistemas vascular, nervioso periférico e inmunológico, la gravedad en un paciente individual que la padezca es alta.

The increase in sheep production is directly related to the health status of the flock. Brazil is one of the largest sheep producers in the world, and the sheep flock is concentrated in southern and northeast regions. Infectious diseases are responsible for severe economic losses resulting from a decrease in milk and meat production, deaths, and cost of treatment. Among infectious diseases, viral diseases are described chiefly in case reports or retrospective studies. This study aimed to review the main features of viral diseases that affect sheep in Brazil and their current situation in the Brazilian territory. We included eight viral diseases described in Brazil: rabies, bluetongue, contagious ecthyma, foot and mouth disease, visna-maedi, enzootic nasal tumor, ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma, and border disease. We review the etiological, epidemiological, clinical, and pathological findings for each agent and included differential diagnoses, information on recommended diagnostic methods to confirm the disease etiology, and control measures. This study served as quick consultation material for field veterinarians for an accurate diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recurrent aphthous ulcer (RAU) is a common oral mucosal lesion with varied and etiopathogenesis. It presents with pain and clinically manifests as an oval-shaped lesion with regular borders surrounded by an erythematous halo and covered by pseudo membrane. Due to the uncertainty about the possible causative factors, there is a need for studies that seek a better understanding of its pathophysiology. In this context, this study aimed to discuss the etiopathogenesis and clinical aspects of RAU. It was a descriptive study characterized as a narrative literature review. The inclusion criteria were studies relevant to the topic, written in Portuguese and English, without a time limit. The search was conducted between December 2022 and July 2023, through active searching in the Pubmed, LILACS, and SciELO platforms, as well as grey literature from Google Scholar and secondary free search. The Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS/MeSH) were crossed using a Boolean operator, namely "aphthous ulcers" AND "predisposing factors." RAU has a multifactorial etiopathogenesis and may be associated with immunological, hereditary, nutritional, dietary, psycho-emotional, hormonal, and local trauma factors, although its relationship with microorganisms is controversial. Clinically, it is classified based on its morphology and clinical course. Morphologically, it is classified into minor, major, and herpetiform types, with the minor form being the most common. Therefore, RAU is a frequent oral mucosal lesion, with the minor form being the most prevalent, and despite its uncertain etiopathogenesis, studies indicate that immunological, traumatic, hereditary, hormonal, nutritional, and psycho-social factors are directly related to its development.

Endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the female genital organs. For many years the prognosis was based on histopathological grade and type. The pathological identification of endometrial carcinomas included two types. Type I - endometrioid (EEC), similar to the endometrium - was characterized by genetic predisposition, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, anovulatory cycles, and irregular menstruation resulting from hyperestrogenism, which is the main predisposing factor for the development of type I EC. Type II included serous, clear cell, and undifferentiated carcinomas. Here were observed older patient's age, higher clinical stage to compare with non-endometrioid histology, and finally poorer prognosis. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) study found mutations in several endometrioid and serous cancer genes. The TCGA has identified four molecular subclasses based on somatic mutation burden and copy number variations. Recent data show the prognostic value of TCGA subclasses because they correlate with patient survival. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research study focuses on analyzing vital signs of different pathologies, recreated by means of mannequin-type simulators, to generate a quick and effective diagnosis for home care monitoring during a health emergency such as COVID-19. A descriptive data analysis model (CRISP-DM) is implemented to examine changes in vital signs through the creation of an interactive visualization tool. This tool is designed with a graph for each vital sign, allowing assessing their changes independently to provide a general assessment of the patient's health. In addition, the tool also assembles all vital signs into a single graph to allow identification and analysis of every instant in which vital sign variations surpass normal parameters. In conclusion, the tool developed here provides visual and interactive support for health professionals, which allows them to make informed decisions, enhancing the traditional scheme of hospital services when preventing complications in the health of patients.

O granuloma central de células gigantes faz parte de um grupo de lesões osteolíticas que podem atingir várias idades, tem etiologia incerta e tem sido vastamente discutido. Paciente de 10 anos de idade, com aumento volumétrico em corpo mandibular direito, diagnosticado como granuloma central de células gigantes. O tratamento proposto foi aplicação de corticóide intralesional. Após 8 meses de tratamento foi observada remissão da lesão, com neoformação óssea na área. O tratamento para o granuloma central de células gigantes pode ser cirúrgico ou conservador, sendo o tratamento conservador uma excelente opção para pacientes pediátricos, pois gera menos transtornos funcionais e estéticos para o paciente. Este relato confirma sua boa indicação visto não haver sinais de recidiva de lesão após 42 meses de acompanhamento.

El presente es un ensayo breve que pretende condensar los aspectos más relevantes del concepto «magistrado constitucional». Partiendo de resaltar la importancia del estudio de estas cuestiones, que conectan directamente con la propia noción de legitimación del Tribunal Constitucional en cuanto órgano de cierre del sistema y de lógica contramayoritaria, se analizará su estatuto jurídico en sentido amplio. Es decir, se abordarán las cuestiones relativas al esquema constitucional de composición, los aspectos temporales de la regulación del mandato, así como el conjunto de prerrogativas y restricciones que acompañan la estancia en el cargo. Todo ello estudiado a partir de la dicotomía fisiología –el «deber ser» que impone el marco normativo de referencia–/patología –el «ser» muchas veces pernicioso de su aplicación práctica.

Upper limb nerve variations may be related to the absence of a nerve, an interconnection between two nerves or a variant course. The purpose of this review is to screen the existing literature on upper limb nerve variations that may alter the neurologic diagnostic process. A scoping review was performed following PRISMA for Scoping Reviews guidelines. Initially, 1331 articles were identified by searching Pubmed and Web of Science until the 22nd of October 2022. After screening, reading, and additional searching 50 articles were included in this review. Variations were divided into two categories: 1) variations causing a different innervation pattern involving sensory, motor, or both types of fibers, and 2) variations causing or related to compression syndromes. Two-thirds of the included articles were cadaver studies. Nine articles were diagnostic studies on symptomatic or healthy individuals involving medical imaging and/or surgery. Nerve variations that may cause a different innervation pattern concern most frequently their interconnection. The connection between the median and musculocutaneous nerve in the upper limb and the connection between the median and ulnar nerve in the forearm (Martin-Gruber) or hand (Riche-Cannieu) may be present in half of the population. Injury to these connections may cause compound peripheral neuropathies a result of variant sensory and motor branching patterns. Muscular, vascular, or combined anomalies in the forearm were reported as causes of entrapment neuropathies. These nerve variations may mimic classical entrapment syndromes such as carpal tunnel syndrome or compression at ulnar canal (Guyon's canal). Knowledge of frequent nerve variations in the arm may be important during the diagnostic process and examination. Variant innervation patterns may explain non-classical clinical signs and/or symptoms during provocative tests. Classical nerve compression syndromes in the arm may warrant for differential diagnosis, especially in the case of persistent or recurrent symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: Aunque la mayoría de los nódulos tiroideos son benignos, asintomáticos y estables en la historia clínica de una paciente mujer; en los estudios ecográficos, citológicos e histopatológicos se ha podido obtener la caracterización subclínica de lesiones sugestivas de malignidad. El actual estudio tuvo por objetivo evaluar los factores de riesgo asociados a la malignidad de nódulos tiroideos en pacientes adultas. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, transversal, retrospectivo correlacional de enfoque mixto en el servicio de endocrinología del Hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo entre Enero y Junio del 2019. El universo estuvo compuesto por todos los casos con diagnóstico de nódulo tiroideo. Se utilizó el sistema de Bethesda para los reportes. Resultados: Fueron 132 casos de pacientes con nódulos tiroideos, edad entre 45 a 64 años (57,6%). En estado pre menopáusico (52%), con 1 gestación (12%), glucosa >100 mg/dL (34%), IMC entre 25.0 y 29.9 kg/m2 (49%) y con antecedente patológico familiar de cáncer de tiroides (35%). 30 casos con valores de TSH >4.00 uUI/mL (23%). El sistema de Bethesda, 22 casos (17%) categoria IV, 17 casos (13%) categoria V y 11 casos (8%) categoría VI. Conclusiones: La lesión citológica tiroidea más frecuente que se encontró fue la neoplasia benigna. No obstante, la lesión maligna junto con la lesión folicular indeterminada presentaron una prevalencia del 8%. Se encontró una asociación significativa entre los nódulos de citología maligna con los niveles de TSH elevados y con el antecedente patológico familiar de cáncer de tiroides.
