Postoperative Outcomes within Enhanced Recovery after Surgery Protocol in Colorectal Surgery. (Power Study)

Background: The ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery) care has been shown to improve outcome after colorectal surgery compared to traditional care. Audit of process compliance and patient outcomes are important features to assess the impact of a predefined protocol. We did a study to determine the influence of the ERAS protocols in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery Methods: We did a multicenter, prospective cohort study at 80 Spanish hospitals. We recruited adults scheduled for elective colorectal surgery and deemed to have an ERAS protocol. 22 individual ERAS items were assessed in all included patients. The primary outcome was moderate to severe postoperative complications within 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes included ERAS compliance, readmissions, reinterventions, length of stay and mortality. Findings: Between September 15, 2017, and December 15, 2017, 2084 patients were included. 879 (42·1%) presented postoperative complications; 566 (27·1%) presented moderate-severe complications. The number of patients with moderate or severe complication was lower in the ERAS group, 25·2% vs. 30·3%, p=0·011, but not in terms of overall complications, readmission, reintervention or mortality rate. The overall compliance rate with the ERAS protocol was 63·6% [54·5%-77·3%], with the rate for patients declared as ERAS being 72·7% [59·1%-81·8%] vs Non-ERAS 59·1% [50%-63·6%], p<0·001. The study among the highest and lowest ERAS compliance quartiles showed that the patients with the highest compliance had less moderate to severe complications (OR 0·34, 95% CI 0·25-0·46; p<0·001), overall complications, and mortality compared to the lowest. Interpretation: Simply having a protocol was not enough to improve outcomes, while an increase in the ERAS compliance was associated with a decrease in postoperative complications.

Scientific and academic production and visibility of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Universidad del Cauca

Introduction: Bibliometric indexes are important indicators of the quality of the country’s medical programs. There are few studies of this kind at the Universidad del Cauca.Objective: To evaluate the scientific-academic activity of the Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) of the Universidad del Cauca based on bibliometric production indicators of the authors, visibility and impact during the period 2010-2016.Materials and methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional, bibliometric research. Different categories of the academic production of the FHS were identified (citation by authors, language of publication, areas of health sciences), and the main journals where the authors published. In addition, the metric indicators of the journals and citation indexes of the authors were determined, as well as their enrollment in research groups and the most cited publications according to SCOPUS.Results: 183 articles were found. The main language of publication was Spanish and mainly in the clinical-surgical area. 60% of the articles of the main authors have some international collaboration. The Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud of Universidad del Cauca had the largest number of articles published by authors of the same faculty during the period under study.Conclusion: The scientific and academic production and visibility of the FHS of the Universidad del Cauca is low. The findings reveal the need for greater institutional support for research, and the creation and support of research groups and incubators. Therefore, this work seeks to encourage greater visibility of the FHS in the national and international scientific field.

Web 2.0 Tools in the Prevention of Curable Sexually Transmitted Diseases: Scoping Review.

BackgroundThe internet is now the primary source of information that young people use to get information on issues related to sex, contraception, and sexually transmitted infections.ObjectiveThe goal of the research was to review the scientific literature related to the use of Web 2.0 tools as opposed to other strategies in the prevention of curable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).MethodsA scoping review was performed on the documentation indexed in the bibliographic databases MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud, PsycINFO, Educational Resources Information Center, the databases of Centro Superior de Investigaciones Científicas in Spain, and the Índice Bibliográfico Español de Ciencias de la Salud from the first available date according to the characteristics of each database until April 2017. The equation search was realized by means of the using of descriptors together with the consultation of the fields of title register and summary with free terms. Bibliographies of the selected papers were searched for additional articles.ResultsA total of 627 references were retrieved, of which 6 papers were selected after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The STDs studied were chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. The Web 2.0 tools used were Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. The 6 papers used Web 2.0 in the promotion of STD detection.ConclusionsWeb 2.0 tools have demonstrated a positive effect on the promotion of prevention strategies for STDs and can help attract and link youth to campaigns related to sexual health. These tools can be combined with other interventions. In any case, Web 2.0 and especially Facebook have all the potential to become essential instruments for public health.

Conceptualización de Competencias Socioemocionales y Estilo de Vida de estudiantes universitarios de ciencias de la salud

The objective of this work is to report the knowledge of the students of health sciences (Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud, CUCS) from the University of Guadalajara (UDG), about the terms lifestyle, social ability, emotional ability and social-emotional competence. In order to design a training program of socio-emotio-nal competences and healthy lifestyle for students of this faculty. This is a descriptive study, and through a questionnaire 243 participants were asked to define the concepts previously mentioned. The responses were analyzed through the content analysis technique, with the criterion of semantic affinity, finding that partici-pants define ability as «capacity» and «quality», and lifestyle as a «way of being». Responses to the concept of socio-emotional competence are mostly uninterpretable, which is why the enrichment of the subject in the population is identified as an area of opportunity

Cuadernos Médico Sociales from Rosario, Argentina, and other Latin American social medicine journals from the 1970s and 1980s.

In the 1970s and 1980s, a series of journals were founded to disseminate ideas from Latin American social medicine in various countries across the continent, during the early stage of a movement that would later become institutionalized in Brazil under the name "collective medicine." In this article, we look at the principal characteristics of those endeavors: Revista Centroamericana de Ciencias de la Salud, Saúde em Debate, Salud Problema, Revista Latinoamericana de Salud and Cuadernos Médico Sociales. We focus in particular on Cuadernos Médico Sociales, published in Rosario, Argentina. We analyze the conditions under which this publication emerged, the editorial processes it followed, and the central role played by Carlos Bloch, its founder and managing editor.

Chest CT findings in patients with dysphagia and aspiration: a systematic review.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this systematic review was to characterize chest CT findings in patients with dysphagia and pulmonary aspiration, identifying the characteristics and the methods used. The studies were selected from among those indexed in the Brazilian Virtual Library of Health, LILACS, Indice Bibliográfico Español de Ciencias de la Salud, Medline, Cochrane Library, SciELO, and PubMed databases. The search was carried out between June and July of 2016. Five articles were included and reviewed, all of them carried out in the last five years, published in English, and coming from different countries. The sample size in the selected studies ranged from 43 to 56 patients, with a predominance of adult and elderly subjects. The tomographic findings in patients with dysphagia-related aspiration were varied, including bronchiectasis, bronchial wall thickening, pulmonary nodules, consolidations, pleural effusion, ground-glass attenuation, atelectasis, septal thickening, fibrosis, and air trapping. Evidence suggests that chest CT findings in patients with aspiration are diverse. In this review, it was not possible to establish a consensus that could characterize a pattern of pulmonary aspiration in patients with dysphagia, further studies of the topic being needed.

SENSORY PROCESSING DURING CHILDHOOD IN PRETERM INFANTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.

ABSTRACTObjective: To conduct a systematic search for grounded and quality evidence of sensory processing in preterm infants during childhood. Data source: The search of the available literature on the theme was held in the following electronic databases: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline)/PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs)/Virtual Library in Health (BVS), Índice Bibliográfico Español de Ciencias de la Salud (IBECS)/BVS, Scopus, and Web of Science. We included only original indexed studies with a quantitative approach, which were available in full text on digital media, published in Portuguese, English, or Spanish between 2005 and 2015, involving children aged 0-9years. Data synthesis: 581 articles were identified and eight were included. Six studies (75%) found high frequency of dysfunction in sensory processing in preterm infants. The association of sensory processing with developmental outcomes was observed in three studies (37.5%). The association of sensory processing with neonatal characteristics was observed in five studies (62.5%), and the sensory processing results are often associated with gestational age, male gender, and white matter lesions.Conclusions: The current literature suggests that preterm birth affects the sensory processing, negatively. Gestational age, male gender, and white matter lesions appear as risk factors for sensoryprocessing disorders in preterm infants. The impairment in the ability to receivesensory inputs, to integrateand to adapt to them seems to have a negative effect on motor, cognitive, and language development of these children. We highlight the feasibility of identifying sensory processing disorders early in life, favoring early clinical interventions.

Residentes como docentes en la Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud (FUCS), proyecto de residentes formadores

IntroductionSince its foundation San José Hospital in Bogotá has had a teaching vocation and currently is an accredited university hospital and a leading teaching institution. This fact, along with the results of studies developed in various countries, requires the University Foundation of Health Sciences (Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud) (FUCS) and the San José Hospital to create innovative programs focused on promoting teaching among residents. ObjectiveTo determine the perception residents have on their role as teachers of other residents, interns and medical students, as well as, the knowledge they have gained from fellow residents. Materials and MethodsThis study is based on the survey used by the Sánchez-Mendiola et al. study which was modified for our setting. The amount of time a resident considers he spends teaching and how much of their knowledge comes from other residents, is assessed, as well as, the academic requirements and the preferred educational strategies needed to become proficient in teaching. ResultsResidents perceive that 47.72% of their knowledge comes from other residents; they identify lack of time and excessive work burden as the main obstacles for receiving training to enhance teaching skills, but they are aware of the importance their role as teachers represent and would invest an average of 5.3 hours a week to undertake training to teach. ConclusionResidents of the Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud are aware of their role as teachers and are willing to dedicate some of their time to learning how to teach.

Personality Profile of a Group of Cytol-Histotechnology Students.

By 2012, the National Ministry of Education in Colombia recognized 286 Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) in the country that offered technical and technological programs. The quality of technicians, technologists, and other professionals is directly related to their performance during secondary and tertiary education. The aim of this paper is to describe the personality profile and academic performance of a group of Cytology and Histology students at a Health Sciences institution of higher education. We performed a descriptive study that included first to third semester students in the Department of Cytology and Histology. We measured socio-demographic variables related to academic achievement and the Gordon Personal Profile-Inventory (GPP-I) test results. This study was approved by the Ethics for Research on Humans Committee at the Fundacion Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud. We analyzed 53 Cytology and Histology students. The average age was 18 years old (IQR 18-21), and the gender distribution was 88.4% female (46/53). The initial grade mean was 3.5 (IQR: 3.3-3.8), with 5 being the maximum in the Colombian grading system, and the mid-career grade was 3.7 (IQR: 3.6-4). We explored the relationship between the place of residence before starting the program, the result of the National Test for Graduates in Colombia (ICFES-SABERPro, comparable to the American SAT), and the academic performance of students. We observed a significant correlation among these variables. Despite there being a number of university departments in the field in Colombia, Cytology/Histology is a poorly known profession, and the skills and abilities together with its range of tasks in the labor market are unknown. Concerning academic performance and its correlation with the GPP-I domains, we observed that there was a direct relationship between starting grade point average and original thinking.

Autopercepción de salud y de red de apoyo y funcionalidad familiar, de los estudiantes que inician posgrados de medicina

The healthy universities policy seeks to improve the environments and quality of life of students. Most of the students who are part of the university population perceive deficiencies regarding their lifestyle and self-rated health care. ObjectiveTo describe the self-rated health status and family support and functioning of a cohort of students starting medical/surgical residency at the Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud, Bogotá. MethodologyA cross-sectional study was conducted during the induction period of the residency. Students admitted to the first semester of medical residency were invited to participate. They completed a 35-question questionnaire; 25 items were on their perception of health status and past history, and 12 were on their family support and functioning. ResultsOut of 89 students, 86 (96.6%) responded to the questionnaire. The mean age was 29.8 years (SD: 4.2); 68.6% were single; 24.4% were married; 20.9% lived alone, and 39.5% had moved to Bogotá to attend postgraduate school. Good or excellent health status was rated by 96.5%; 32.6% were overweight and 41.9% were sedentary; 30.6% did not fulfil the vaccination requirements for hepatitis B, and 49% for Varicella, respectively; 33.7% reported some degree of dysfunction in their families. ConclusionMost of the residents rated their health status as good or excellent. The most common health problems were overweight, sedentary behaviours, and lack of vaccination. One third of the students perceived family support and functioning as deficient. Individual and collective intervention plans must be developed within the Healthy Universities Strategy framework, based on this information.

Cyp450 Geno-Phenotype Analysis: Application of Ceiba Cocktail To Mexican Populations

e156 Volume 37 Number 8S Extremadura, Badajoz, Spain; Colegio de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Quito, Ecuador; and Servicio de Laboratorio, Hospital de los Valles, Quito, Ecuador Introduction: According to EMA recommendations, development of phenotyping procedures for drug interactions studies and clinical research are highly recommended, due to the discordances found between genotypes determined of the main CYP enzymes and their actual enzymatic activity. Recently, CEIBA cocktail approach to measure metabolic activity of the main CYPs in just one experiment has been designed. However, its optimal design remains to be elucidated, which is the main objective of this research, in order to appropriately select the sample to be analyzed and an optimal single time point for the analysis, to avoid diminish costs and discomfort to the volunteers without compromising the reliability of the results. Material and Methods: Thirteen healthy subjects were given low oral doses of 100mg caffeine, 25mg losartan, 20mg omeprazole and 30 mg dextromethorphan, and blood and urine samples were taken at different time points (predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12h) to assay the concentration and pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC). The MRs for CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 were calculated at each time point and their correlation with AUC ratios calculated. All subjects were genotyped. Results: The cocktail was well tolerated and single time point MRs at 4h or 6h (only for CYP2C9) after dosing showed high correlations with corresponding AUC ratios and can, therefore, be proposed as simple phenotyping metrics. On the other hand, metabolic ratios in urine samples were not comparable to plasma ratios. Conclusion: This cocktail was proven to reliably reflect the selected CYPs activities for the evaluation of CYPs hydroxylation capacity. The proposed simplified sampling scheme could facilitate clinical application of CYPs phenotyping with one blood sample collection, in a single analysis.

Bibliotecas virtuales de ciencias de la salud: realidad y oportunidad

Tradicionalmente las bibliotecas se han configurado sobre 3 grandes pilares: coleccion, organizacion y difusion. Estas 3 actividades, que siempre han distinguido una biblioteca de un deposito de libros, continuan ofreciendose en las bibliotecas virtuales (BV) pero con un profundo cambio: las colecciones desarrolladas ahora son virtuales, la organizacion se apoya en plataformas tecnologicas, y la difusion y acceso pasan a realizarse en un entorno totalmente virtual. Todo lo cual ha supuesto un profundo cambio de modelo en el que los bibliotecarios nos hemos implicado y adaptado. Tambien hemos asistido a una transformacion de las editoriales cientificas, obligadas en pocos anos a adecuarse a un nuevo modelo. En un principio se limitaron a llevar a Internet la edicion impresa, hasta que vieron que este soporte electronico permitia nuevas posibilidades, como la incorporacion de audiovisuales y la interaccion con el usuario final. Solo hace falta conectarse a una de las grandes revistas, como The New England Journal of Medicine, y observar todas las posibilidades que oferta, siendo el texto tradicional un elemento mas al lado de opciones de formacion, audiovisuales, conferencias, etc. Por otra parte, las grandes bases de datos bibliograficas se vuelven mas amigables, las interfaces se aproximan a Google (busqueda mas sen-

Complicaciones obstétricas y perinatales de la amniocentesis genética del segundo trimestre en las gestaciones gemelares

Objetivo: Evaluar el resultado de la amniocentesis del segundo trimestre en las gestaciones gemelares. Diseño: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo. Institución: Unidad de Diagnóstico Prenatal, Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet, Instituto Aragonés de Ciencias de la Salud, Zaragoza, España. Participantes: Mujeres con gestaciones gemelares. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio mediante la base de datos informatizada y la revisión de las historias clínicas de las pacientes atendidas entre enero de 2004 y febrero de 2008. Las gestaciones gemelares sometidas a amniocentesis fueron comparadas con las gestaciones simples también sometidas a la técnica y con las gestaciones gemelares no sometidas a amniocentesis. Principales medidas de resultados: Complicaciones obstétricas y perinatales. Resultados: Durante los cuatro años del estudio se realizaron 4 263 amniocentesis, de las cuales 112 casos correspondieron a gestaciones gemelares y 4 151 a gestaciones simples. La edad materna avanzada y la ansiedad fueron las indicaciones más frecuentes de amniocentesis. La pérdida fetal durante las 4 semanas posteriores al procedimiento fue de 1,78% para las gestaciones gemelares y 0,40% para las gestaciones únicas. Las gestaciones gemelares que se sometieron a una amniocentesis genética no presentaron otras complicaciones obstétricas ni peores resultados perinatales. Conclusiones: Basándonos en nuestros datos y los reflejados por estudios previos podemos decir que las gestaciones gemelares sometidas a una amniocentesis del segundo trimestre tienen un riesgo de pérdida fetal ligeramente superior a las gestaciones simples. No obstante, en manos de operadores experimentados, la amniocentesis es una técnica segura y efectiva para el diagnóstico prenatal en las gestaciones gemelares.

The effect of oral glutamine on Treg cells (CD4+/FOXP3+/CD25+) and C-Reactive Protein in the perioperative period in severe obese patients undergoing Laparoscopic Gastric ByPass

Event Abstract Back to Event The effect of oral glutamine on Treg cells (CD4+/FOXP3+/CD25+) and C-Reactive Protein in the perioperative period in severe obese patients undergoing Laparoscopic Gastric ByPass Roberto U. Cruz1*, Saul Ocampo2, Trinidad G. Iglesias3 and Manuel R. Prieto2 1 General Surgery Resident at Hospital Civil Fray Antonio Alcalde, General Surgery, Mexico 2 Hospital Civil Fray Antonio Alcalde, General Surgery, Mexico 3 Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad de Guadalajara, Inmunology, Mexico INTRODUCTION Obesity is associated with low-grade systemic inflammation, also called metabolic inflammation. The use of metabolic agents, such as Glutamine, in preoperative period, can help in postoperative recovery; because the impact on intestinal perfusion and immune response. Until now, there are not previous researches with this population in the proposed scenario. The objective is to evaluate modulation from the immune response with enteral glutamine. METHODS Comparative randomized blind clinical trial with 13 patients undergoing Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass from April 2014 to December 2014, in the Hospital Civil Fray Antonio Alcalde, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Body Mass Index in both groups was >35 and <45 kg/m2. Study group received enteral Glutamine 40g/day and Control Group Calcium Caseinate 40g/day; 5 days previous surgical intervention. Blood samples were obtained before oral intake, 1-hour previous surgical intervention and 48 hours after Laparoscopic Gastric ByPass to be evaluated with monoclonal antibodies for CD3+, CD4+, CD25+ and FOXP3+ in flow cytometry. C-Reactive Protein was also evaluated in the different visits made during the study. RESULTS Increase T CD3+ preoperative marker was observed for both groups, with no significant statistical difference (p=0.8 CI95% -3.3 – 4.12). 48-Hours after Laparoscopic Gastric ByPass, C-Reactive Protein was lower in Study Group with 75.7±12.44 mg/dl compared with Control Group 131.47±40 mg/dl, p=0.009 CI95% (-93–-17). In addition, CD4+ and CD25+ showed increased levels in glutamine group compared with control (42.57±5.62 vs 40.5±5.92 and 1.44±1.04 vs 1.2±0.55), with statistically significant p value (0.6 and 0.5 respectively) CONCLUSIONS Nutritional supplementation given previous surgery can activate Treg cells, with possible participation in immunomodulation reducing post surgical hyper inflammatory response; given by lower C-Reactive Protein levels, according to our study model. Therefore, more studies are needed to confirm the results.
