Suicide of physicians. An ignored reality

Hoy se conoce que la tasa de suicidio entre médicos es más elevada que en la población general, en Estados Unidos una revisión halló que la tasa de suicidio en médicos es de 28 a 40 por 100.000, mayor a la presentada en población general de 12,3 por cada 100.0003. Schernhammer, et al. encontraron que el Riesgo Relativo (RR) para suicidio en los hombres médicos era 1,41 (IC del 95% 1,21 a 1,65) y 2,27 (IC de 95% =1,90 a 2,73) para las mujeres médicas, comparado con la población general4. Situación que puede estar subestimada, dado a las malas codificaciones al momento de los registros, por ejemplo, reportando como muerte por intoxicación los casos de suicidio por sobredosis, esto quizás producido por el estigma social que conlleva.Hoy se conoce que la tasa de suicidio entre médicos es más elevada que en la población general, en Estados Unidos una revisión halló que la tasa de suicidio en médicos es de 28 a 40 por 100.000, mayor a la presentada en población general de 12,3 por cada 100.0003.

Effectiveness of Stevia Rebaudiana Whole Leaf Extract Against the Various Morphological Forms of Borrelia Burgdorferi in Vitro

Lyme disease is a tick-borne multisystemic disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. Administering antibiotics is the primary treat-ment for this disease; however, relapse often occurs when antibiotic treatment is discontinued. The reason for relapse remains un-known, but recent studies suggested the possibilities of the presence of antibiotic resistant Borreliapersister cells and biofilms.In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of whole leaf Stevia extract against B. burgdorferispirochetes, persisters, and bio-film forms in vitro. The susceptibility of the different forms was evaluated by various quantitative techniques in addition to differ-ent microscopy methods. The effectiveness of Stevia was compared to doxycycline, cefoperazone, daptomycin, and their combina-tions. Our results demonstrated that Stevia had significant effect in eliminating B. burgdorferi spirochetes and persisters. Sub-culture experiments with Stevia and antibiotics treated cells were established for 7 and 14 days yielding, no and 10% viable cells, respectively compared to the above-mentioned antibiotics and antibiotic combination. When Stevia and the three antibiotics weretested against attached biofilms, Stevia significantly reduced B. burgdorferiforms. Results from this study suggest that a natural product such as Stevia leaf extract could be considered as an effective agent against B. burgdorferi

Evidence of in Vivo Existence of Borrelia Biofilm in Borrelial Lymphocytomas

Lyme borreliosis, caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, has grown into a major public health problem. We recently identified a novel morphological form of B. burgdorferi, called biofilm, a structure that is well known to be highly resistant to antibiotics. However, there is no evidence of the existence of Borrelia biofilm in vivo; therefore, the main goal of this study was to determine the presence of Borrelia biofilm in infected human skin tissues. Archived skin biopsy tissues from borrelial lymphocytomas (BL) were reexamined for the presence of B. burgdorferi sensu lato using Borrelia-specific immunohistochemical staining (IHC), fluorescent in situ hybridization, combined fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH)—IHC, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and fluorescent and atomic force microscopy methods. Our morphological and histological analyses showed that significant amounts of Borrelia-positive spirochetes and aggregates exist in the BL tissues. Analyzing structures positive for Borrelia showed that aggregates, but not spirochetes, expressed biofilm markers such as protective layers of different mucopolysaccharides, especially alginate. Atomic force microscopy revealed additional hallmark biofilm features of the Borrelia/alginate-positive aggregates such as inside channels and surface protrusions. In summary, this is the first study that demonstrates the presence of Borrelia biofilm in human infected skin tissues

Development of a photographic handbook to improve cystoscopy findings during resident\u2019s training: A randomised prospective study

Objectives: To evaluate if the use of a photographic handbook (PH) can be a useful tool to improve the detection of disorders during cystoscopy training, as several hands-on tools have been proposed to improve technical skills but very few aim to improve specificity and sensitivity.Subjects and methods: Eight junior residents (JRs) were divided into two groups: Group A, comprised four JRs with previous limited experience of performing cystoscopies; and Group B, including four inexperienced JRs who were asked to study a specific PH before performing cystoscopies. The findings of the two groups were compared using the chi-squared test.Results: A total of 401 consecutive cystoscopies, of which 214 (53.4%) were performed by Group A and 187 (46.6%) by Group B, were considered. Group B showed superior ability in detecting uncommon findings (i.e., carcinoma in situ, bullous oedema, interstitial cystitis, etc.) with 24/46 (52.2%) detected vs eight of 32 (25%) in Group A (P = 0.016).Conclusions: The PH was a useful tool for improving identification of pathological conditions, which could be used to enhance hands-on simulator and practical tutored training
