Diversos estudis han demostrat que, en pacients amb esclerosi múltiple, existeixen alteracions als paràmetres de difusió mesurats amb Resonància Magnètica als tractes de substància blanca que es mostren aparentment normals en les seqüències convencionals. Amb l’objectiu de demostrar si aquestes alteracions apareixen precoçment en la fase de síndrome clínic aïllada, es van analitzar una sèrie d’estudis de Resonància Magnètica cerebral amb seqüències potenciades en difusió i tractografia de les radiacions òptiques, de pacients amb el diagnòstic de síndrome clínic aïllada i pacients controls, mesurant en tots ells els valors dels paràmetres principals de difusió: coeficient de difusió aparent y fracció d’anisotropia. Amb aquestes exploracions no es van demostrar alteracions als paràmetres de difusió en fases tan precoces de la malaltia als pacients casos davant els controls.

Estudi descriptiu retrospectiu per caracteritzar l’hipotiroidisme d’una població de nens i adolescents amb síndrome de Down. Es van identificar a 137 pacients sobre 1903 històries clíniques revisades, 71 nens i 66 nenes, amb una edat mitja al diagnòstic de 5.9 anys. En un 98.5% dels casos, es tractava d’una alteració en fase subclínica. En un 33.8% l’hipotiroidisme es va resoldre espontàniament sense tractament en un temps mig de 12.9 mesos, i fins en un 73.1% en els pacients menors de 5 anys. La resolució va ser significativament superior en el grup sense goll i amb anticossos antitiroidals negatius

The short bowel syndrome appears for the reduction of intestinal absorptive surface due to functional or anatomical loss of part of the small bowel. We present the case of a 35-year-old woman with severe short bowel syndrome secondary to acute intestinal ischemia in adults, who presented at 5 years of evolution episodes of dizziness with gait instability and loss of strength in hands. The diagnosis was D-lactic acidosis. D-lactic acidosis is a rare complication, but important for their symptoms, of this syndrome. It is due to a change in intestinal flora secondary to an overgrowth of lactic acid bacteria that produce D-lactate. D-lactic acidosis should be looked for in cases of metabolic acidosis in which the identity of acidosis is not apparent, neurological manifestations without focality and the patient has short bowel syndrome or patients who have had jejunoileal bypass surgery. Appropriate treatment usually results in resolution of neurologic symptoms and prevents or reduces further recurrences.

The mechanisms underlying the increased risk of cardiovascular disease associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) are not fully defined. Insulin resistance in human metabolic syndrome patients is associated with decreased expression of the insulin receptor substrate-2- (Irs2-) AKT2 axis in mononuclear leukocytes (MLs). Moreover, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been linked through genome-wide association studies to the 2q36-q37.3 locus, which contains the Irs1 gene. Here, we investigated the expression of insulin-signaling pathway genes in MLs from patients with DM, ACS, and ACS plus DM. Quantitative real-time PCR expression studies showed no differences in the mRNA levels of Irs2, Akt2, and Akt1 among all patients. However, Irs1 mRNA expression was significantly increased in patients with ACS-diabetics and nondiabetics-compared with diabetic patients without ACS (P < .02 and P < .005, resp.). The present study reveals for the first time an association between increased Irs1 mRNA levels in MLs of patients with ACS which is not related to DM.

Davant la diversitat d'alumnat que es troba a les aules de les escoles ordinàries i, sobretot, per la creixent orientació inclusiva dels alumnes amb necessitats educatives especials en aquestes, a continuació es presenta un cas d'una alumna amb síndrome de Down i dictamen de reconeixement de necessitats educatives especials, que està escolaritzada en un centre d'educació infantil primària de Barcelona ciutat. A l'actualitat, ha iniciat 1r de primària i s'ha vist la necessitat d'elaborar un Pla Individualitzat per adequar els objectius i continguts per el curs escolar 2011-2012. Es mostren una sèrie d'actuacions, enfocades a conèixer quines són les àrees curriculars que cal adaptar, quines habilitats té a nivell de manipulació fina i saber quines són les competències en aquestes per poder elaborar uns objectius reals en el Pla Individualitzat. Els materials utilitzats han estat una sèrie de fitxes de treball, el programari Click facilitat pel Departament d'Ensenyament, el web www.edu365.cat i un test específic de valoració de la motricitat fina. Les activitats realitzades han inclòs el passar aquest test, observacions a l'aula del grup classe en diferents moments, a logopèdia i al pati, i entrevistes amb la tutora, la logopeda, la monitora de reforç, la família de l'alumna, així com una coordinació de tots els professionals que intervenen amb la nena. Els resultats obtinguts han permès facilitar l'elaboració del Pla Individualitzat.

Durante los procedimientos endovasculares en el ictus isquémico la información per-procedimiento del daño cerebral ayudaría a tomar decisiones sobre intentar la recanalización arterial. Métodos Se estudiaron parámetros gasométricos de sangre extraída durante los procedimientos endovasculares de recanalización. Se obtuvieron muestras proximal y distal a la oclusión. Un estudio gasométrico se realizo inmediatamente. Resultados El estudio mostró diferencias significativas entre las muestras pre-oclusión y postoclusión en la presión parcial de oxígeno (PaO2Pre78,9±16.3mmHgVs73.4±14.9 mmHg,p&0,001). Una curva ROC determinó que una Post-PaO2&70 mmHg predice mejoría clínica. Los pacientes con post-PaO2&70mmHg tuvieron mejor autonomía (medianaMRS:3Vs.6, p=0,024). En el análisis multivariante el único predictor independiente de mejoría clínica fue la Post-PaO2&70(OR:5,21IC95%:1.38-67.24,p=0,013). Conclusión Es posible la obtención de muestras de sangre del tejido lesionado distal a la oclusión. La información puede ser utilizada para predecir evolución clínica y en las decisiones durante el procedimiento.

INTRODUCTION: The metabolic syndrome (MS) consists of a set of clinical and biochemical changes. It is very common among chronic hemodialysis patients, being the leading cause of death in these patients, 44% of all patients undergoing this therapy. AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of MS and risk factors associated with its development, as well as the prevalence of obesity in HD patients. METHODS: This study has followed 90 patients of both sexes with chronic renal failure (CRF) who were treated with hemodialysis periodically in our unit for ten years. All patients were performed quarterly measurements of plasma albumin (A1b) and other biochemical analysis; besides, they underwent some anthropometric measurements like weight, height and body mass index (BMI). This was calculated using weight / size2 formula and grouped in BMI values according to WHO criteria. The data concerning hypertension and glucose were also considered. RESULTS: The prevalence of MS was 25% and obesity was presented as follows: 45% with type I overweight; 30.8% with type II overweight and 12 patients (2%) were obese. Being statistically significant as risk factors, BMI, overweight, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol as well as hypertension and elevated glucose levels were obtained. CONCLUSIONS: The metabolic syndrome compromises the patient survival causing a high prevalence in these patients. The principal risk factors in MS are monitoring weight, BMI, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes.

Title: Are suitable general clinic criteria for defining hypothyroidism in people with Down syndrome? Studies on the prevalence of thyroid disorders in people with Down syndrome (DS) show a wide dispersion of results. However, most of these studies agree in indicating a greater frequency than in the general population. The cause of these differences may depend on the method of sample selection. In this work we studied a healthy population of adolescents with DS of the Association of Málaga, selected randomly and regardless of the medical care. Mean TSH distribution, used here as a tool to define the biochemical thyroid function of the studied DS population, was two standard deviation higher than the mean for the general population. These data show that in terms of TSH the DS population is a distinct population with respect to the general population. This clearly indicates that it would be necessary to identify and define new criteria to establish what is normal, subclinical hypothyroidism, borderline or pathological, and to propose new treatment guide.

BACKGROUND: The occurence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) between the renal receptors is one of the major complications after transplantation and is associated with an increased risk of graft failure and high rates of obesity and diabetes new appearance. AIMS: This study aims to investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with the development of the MS and to evaluate the association between the same with the allograft dysfunction. METHODS: The samples consisted of 138 renal transplant patients, 83 men and 55 women, kidney transplant, which was attended by over five years for the transplant consultation. Were analyzed as potential risk factors for MS: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), weight, hypertension, diabetes, LDL, HDL, triglycerides in serum and immunosuppressive therapy (cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil), was also assessed the prevalence of acute rejection episodes and renal function. RESULTS: The prevalence of MS was 39.85 %. As statistically significant risk factors were obtained the BMI, overweight, HDL cholesterol levels, triglycerides and LDL as well as hypertension and diabetes. There were high rates of acute rejection and differences in story to the glomerular filtration rate. CONCLUSIONS: There is a high prevalence of the MS that severely compromised renal function and graft survival in renal transplant patients, it is very important the control and strict monitoring of all risk factors identified.

El objetivo del presente estudio es realizar una lectura de una situación de alienación parental en un divorcio conflictivo desde un enfoque sistémico-relacional, respondiendo a la falta de modelos de intervención para dicha casuística y considerando poco holístico el planteamiento defendido bajo la categoría Síndrome de Alienación Parental (SAP), descrita por Gardner el año 1985. Se analizan con metodología cualitativa cinco sesiones de psicoterapia de una familia de tres miembros derivada judicialmente por el rechazo de la hija a mantener contacto con la madre. Atendiendo a sus respectivas narrativas en relación a la pareja, los resultados muestran una mitología compartida en el pasado y una ruptura de la misma, en el caso de la madre. Se observa una precaria gestión del cambio, así como un conflicto comunicacional que impide desarrollar nuevas estrategias narrativas tras la separación. Los resultados permiten apoyar la apertura de líneas de investigación que contribuyan a una reformulación del SAP desde una perspectiva más profunda que aprehenda la complejidad de lo llamamos las Prácticas Alienadoras Familiares (PAF).
