    La exposición a cantidades excesivas de yodo bloquea la actividad de la enzima peroxidasa tiroidea (TPO), un fenómeno conocido como efecto de Wolff-Chaikoff. Clínicamente, éste puede llevar a hipotiroidismo. Por el contrario, cuando un tirocito contiene valores bajos de yodo y es expuesto a elevadas concentraciones del mismo, aumenta de forma significativa la producción de hormona tiroidea, llevando frecuentemente a hipertiroidismo clínico y bioquímico, fenómeno conocido como efecto de Jod-Basedow. Tanto el hiper como el hipotiroidismo aumentan el riesgo de enfermedad arterial coronaria, miopatía ventricular izquierda, anormalidades electrofisiológicas, además de incrementar la mortalidad cardiovascular y por todas las causas. Abstract Exposure to excessive amounts of iodine blocks the activity of the enzyme thyroid peroxidase (TPO), a phenomenon known as Wolf-Chaikoff effect. Clinically, this effect can lead to hypothyroidism. On the other hand, when thyrocites have low iodine levels and are exposed to a high iodine concentration, they increase significantly their production of thyroid hormone thus leading to hyperthyroidism, a phenomenon known as Jod-Basedow effect. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism increase the risk of coronary artery disease, left cardiomyopathy, electrophysiological abnormalities, and all-cause mortality

      Los avances recientes en el tratamiento de las enfermedades neoplásicas han mejorado las tasas de supervivencia. Las intervenciones médicas generan diversos efectos adversos agudos que comprometen el tracto gastrointestinal y la médula ósea, mientras la neurotoxicidad tiende a ser tardía y evoluciona en el tiempo. En el sistema nervioso periférico es frecuente documentar la neuropatía inducida por el tratamiento médico del cáncer, hallazgo relacionado con la administración de agentes quimioterapéuticos utilizados para controlar los tumores hematológicos y sólidos. El tratamiento oncológico genera una gran variedad de cambios estructurales y funcionales en los nervios periféricos, incluyendo la afectación de los cuerpos neuronales del sistema de transporte axonal, del recubrimiento mielínico y de las estructuras de soporte glial. Cada agente presenta un espectro de toxicidad único que se relaciona con su mecanismo de acción, eventos que pueden mitigarse gracias a los resultados de múltiples estudios. Gracias al reconocimiento de los efectos devastadores de la neuropatía inducida por el tratamiento médico del cáncer en la calidad de vida, la investigación básica y clínica ha empezado a evaluar el papel de múltiples terapias para prevenir y tratar el daño neurológico. Esta revisión integra información seleccionada a partir de búsquedas estructuras realizadas en las bases de datos biomédicas más relevantes, haciendo énfasis en el diagnóstico y en las intervenciones farmacológicas y no farmacológicas descritas como parte del manejo de la neuropatía inducida por el tratamiento médico del cáncer, que con frecuencia es subvalorada. En conclusión, la información disponible hasta el momento permite establecer los mecanismos de la enfermedad y sugiere el desarrollo de un número mayor de estudios que permitan validar las estrategias descritas hasta el momento.

Efectos adversos.      Recent advances in the development and administration of therapy for malignant diseases have been rewarded with prolonged survival rates. Unlike more immediate toxicities that affect the gastrointestinal tract and bone marrow, chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity is frequently delayed in onset and may progress over time. In the peripheral nervous system, the major brunt of the toxicity is directed against the peripheral nerve, resulting in cancer therapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Chemotherapeutic agents used to treat hematologic and solid tumors target a variety of structures and functions in the peripheral nervous system, including the neuronal cell body, the axonal transport system, the myelin sheath, and glial support structures. Each agent exhibits a spectrum of effects unique to its mechanism of action, and recent studies in this field have yielded clearer ideas on how to mitigate injury. Combined with the call for a greater recognition of the devastating effects of cancer therapy-induced peripheral neuropathy on quality of life, basic and clinical researchers have begun to investigate therapy to prevent and treat neurologic damage. This review was made based on relevant information avaliable on international databases concerning cancer therapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and summarizes the evidence for diagnosis, pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to the management of this commonly unrecognized condition. In conclusion, the information avaliable in this moment establish the mechanisms of the disease and exposes the importance of the development of statistically stronger clinical trials that complement current data available in this moment.

    An embedding technique to determine ττ backgrounds in proton-proton collision data

    Get PDF
    An embedding technique is presented to estimate standard model tau tau backgrounds from data with minimal simulation input. In the data, the muons are removed from reconstructed mu mu events and replaced with simulated tau leptons with the same kinematic properties. In this way, a set of hybrid events is obtained that does not rely on simulation except for the decay of the tau leptons. The challenges in describing the underlying event or the production of associated jets in the simulation are avoided. The technique described in this paper was developed for CMS. Its validation and the inherent uncertainties are also discussed. The demonstration of the performance of the technique is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by CMS in 2017 at root s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 41.5 fb(-1).Peer reviewe

    Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt s = 13 TeV

    Get PDF
    Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons are measured over a broad multiplicity range, from a few particles up to about 250 reconstructed charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at s \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV. The results are based on data collected using the CMS detector at the LHC during runs with a special low-pileup configuration. Three analysis techniques with different degrees of dependence on simulations are used to remove the non-Bose-Einstein background from the correlation functions. All three methods give consistent results. The measured lengths of homogeneity are studied as functions of particle multiplicity as well as average pair transverse momentum and mass. The results are compared with data from both CMS and ATLAS at s \sqrt{s} = 7 TeV, as well as with theoretical predictions.[graphic not available: see fulltext]Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons are measured over a broad multiplicity range, from a few particles up to about 250 reconstructed charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at s=\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV.

    Measurement of the top quark forward-backward production asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV

    Abstract The parton-level top quark (t) forward-backward asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric (d̂ t) and chromomagnetic (μ̂ t) moments have been measured using LHC pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected in the CMS detector in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The linearized variable AFB(1) is used to approximate the asymmetry. Candidate t t ¯ events decaying to a muon or electron and jets in final states with low and high Lorentz boosts are selected and reconstructed using a fit of the kinematic distributions of the decay products to those expected for t t ¯ final states. The values found for the parameters are AFB(1)=0.048−0.087+0.095(stat)−0.029+0.020(syst),μ̂t=−0.024−0.009+0.013(stat)−0.011+0.016(syst), and a limit is placed on the magnitude of | d̂ t| < 0.03 at 95% confidence level.

    Search for dark matter in events with a leptoquark and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV

    Get PDF
    A search is presented for dark matter in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of root s= 13 TeV using events with at least one high transverse momentum (p(T)) muon, at least one high-p(T) jet, and large missing transverse momentum. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016 and 2017, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 77.4 fb(-1). In the examined scenario, a pair of scalar leptoquarks is assumed to be produced. One leptoquark decays to a muon and a jet while the other decays to dark matter and low-p(T) standard model particles. The signature for signal events would be significant missing transverse momentum from the dark matter in conjunction with a peak at the leptoquark mass in the invariant mass distribution of the highest p(T) muon and jet. The data are observed to be consistent with the background predicted by the standard model. For the first benchmark scenario considered, dark matter masses up to 500 GeV are excluded for leptoquark masses m(LQ) approximate to 1400 GeV, and up to 300 GeV for m(LQ) approximate to 1500 GeV. For the second benchmark scenario, dark matter masses up to 600 GeV are excluded for m(LQ) approximate to 1400 GeV. (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe

    Search for an L-mu - L-tau gauge boson using Z -> 4 mu events in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

    Get PDF
    A search for a narrow Z' gauge boson with a mass between 5 and 70 GeV resulting from an L-mu - L-tau U (1) local gauge symmetry is reported. Theories that predict such a particle have been proposed as an explanation of various experimental discrepancies, including the lack of a dark matter signal in direct-detection experiments, tension in the measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, and reports of possible lepton flavor universality violation in B meson decays. A data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 77.3 fb(-1) recorded in 2016 and 2017 by the CMS detector at the LHC. Events containing four muons with an invariant mass near the standard model Z boson mass are analyzed, and the selection is further optimized to be sensitive to the events that may contain Z -> Z'mu mu -> 4 mu decays. The event yields are consistent with the standard model predictions. Upper limits of 10(-8)-10(-7) at 95% confidence level are set on the product of branching fractions B(Z -> Z'mu mu)B(Z' -> mu mu), depending on the Z' mass, which excludes a Z' boson coupling strength to muons above 0.004-0.3. These are the first dedicated limits on L-mu - L-tau models at the LHC and result in a significant increase in the excluded model parameter space. The results of this search may also be used to constrain the coupling strength of any light Z' gauge boson to muons. (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe
