Fístula colovesical secundaria a diverticulitis complicada: tratamiento laparoscópico. Reporte de caso

Introduction: The colovesical fistula is a junction between the urinary bladder and the large intestine. It occurs in 2% of patients with diverticular disease of the colon and generates symptoms such as pneumaturia and fecaluria associated with recurrent urinary tract infections. The patients are diagnosed by imaging studies and their treatment is usually surgical.   Objective: To report the laparoscopic treatment administered to a patient that presented a case of colovesical fistula secondary to severe diverticulitis. Case report: The case of a 69-year-old male patient with a medical record of diverticular disease, who presented recurrent urinary tract infection, fecaluria, and pneumaturia is presented. The cystoscopy procedure showed no signs of anal fistula, and the abdominopelvic tomography showed signals of inflammations and colovesical fistula associated with complicated diverticulitis. During the laparoscopic procedure, a pericolic abscess was found without evidence of anal fistula. Drainage and suture of the colon and omentum interposition were performed without presenting intestinal resection. The patient had an adequate postoperative recovery and was discharged on the sixth day. The aim of this surgical treatment is focused on the control of medical complications caused by diverticulitis, in this case, colovesical fistula. Conclusions: This procedure is minimally invasive, and it is associated with a faster functional recovery since it does not present the morbidity of a colon resection or colostomy.  Introducción: La fístula colovesical es la unión entre la vejiga y el intestino grueso, se presenta en el 2% de los pacientes con enfermedad diverticular del colon, genera síntomas como neumaturia y fecaluria, asociados a infecciones urinarias recurrentes. Los pacientes se diagnostican mediante estudios imagenológicos y su tratamiento generalmente es quirúrgico.  Objetivo: Reportar el caso   de  tratamiento laparoscópico  de paciente con  fístula colovesical secundaria a diverticulitis complicada. Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 69 años, con antecedente de enfermedad diverticular, cursando con infección de vías urinarias recurrentes, fecaluria y neumaturia. La cistoscopia no mostró trayecto fistuloso y la tomografía abdominopélvica mostró hallazgos inflamatorios y fístula colovesical asociada a diverticulitis complicada. Durante procedimiento laparoscópico se encuentra absceso pericólico sin evidencia del trayecto fistuloso, se realizó drenaje, sutura del colon e interposición del epiplón, sin resección intestinal. Paciente con adecuada evolución postoperatoria con egreso al sexto día. El objetivo del tratamiento quirúrgico se centra en el control de complicaciones generadas por los divertículos, en este caso, la fístula colovesical. Conclusiones: El procedimiento laparoscópico es de mínima invasión, no presenta la morbilidad que implica una resección de colon o una colostomía y  se asocia con una recuperación funcional más rápida. &nbsp

Temas Socio-Jurídicos. Volumen 17 No. 37 Diciembre 1999

Al cierre de la edición número 37 de la Revista Temas Socio- Jurídicos, registramos la desaparición de la profesora de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia Virginia Gutierrez De Pineda, antropóloga santandereana, profesora, quien en varias oportunidades honró con su presencia y su prestancia a la Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga, en especial la Maestría en Derecho de Familia, en la cual atendió el área relacionada con los conflictos entre los géneros, la pareja y la familia. Gus enseñanzas, su acción vital, su permanente indagación de la realidad del país han de servir de ejemplo a quienes deseen seguir la senda de la ciencia y conquistar horizontes de conocimiento. Como homenaje a esta mujer pionera, la revista publica una de sus últimas conferencias pronunciadas en la Universidad, denominada el conflicto en la relación de los géneros. Dos escritos salidos de la pluma del profesor Alfonso Gómez Gómez, el primero sobre el resurgimiento de las provincias, el segundo sobre las Asambleas Departamentales, incitan a la reflexión cobre la necesidad de una reconfiguración de la estructura político-administrativa de las regiones en el País. Proseguimos con la divulgación del ensayo sobre Institutos Jurídicos Básicos, la segunda parte, donde se exponen los fundamentos económico-sociales de las instituciones jurídicas y sus expresiones abstractas en el orden de los conceptos.At the close of the 37th edition of the Socio-Legal Issues Magazine, we recorded the disappearance of the professor at the National University of Colombia, Virginia Gutierrez De Pineda, an anthropologist from Santander, professor, who on several occasions honored the Autonomous University of Bucaramanga, especially the Master's Degree in Family Law, in which he dealt with the area related to conflicts between genders, couples and family. Gus teachings, his vital action, his permanent investigation of the reality of the country must serve as an example to those who wish to follow the path of science and conquer horizons of knowledge. As a tribute to this pioneering woman, the magazine publishes one of her last lectures given at the University, called the conflict in the relationship between genders. Two writings from the pen of Professor Alfonso Gómez Gómez, the first on the resurgence of the provinces, the second on the Departmental Assemblies, encourage reflection on the need for a reconfiguration of the political-administrative structure of the regions in the Country . We continue with the disclosure of the essay on Basic Legal Institutes, the second part, where the socio-economic foundations of legal institutions and their abstract expressions in the order of concepts are exposed

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of the Largest HIV-1 CRF02_AG Outbreak in Spain: Evidence for Onward Transmissions

Background and Aim: The circulating recombinant form 02_AG (CRF02_AG) is the predominant clade among the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) non-Bs with a prevalence of 5.97% (95% Confidence Interval-CI: 5.41–6.57%) across Spain. Our aim was to estimate the levels of regional clustering for CRF02_AG and the spatiotemporal characteristics of the largest CRF02_AG subepidemic in Spain.Methods: We studied 396 CRF02_AG sequences obtained from HIV-1 diagnosed patients during 2000–2014 from 10 autonomous communities of Spain. Phylogenetic analysis was performed on the 391 CRF02_AG sequences along with all globally sampled CRF02_AG sequences (N = 3,302) as references. Phylodynamic and phylogeographic analysis was performed to the largest CRF02_AG monophyletic cluster by a Bayesian method in BEAST v1.8.0 and by reconstructing ancestral states using the criterion of parsimony in Mesquite v3.4, respectively.Results: The HIV-1 CRF02_AG prevalence differed across Spanish autonomous communities we sampled from (p < 0.001). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that 52.7% of the CRF02_AG sequences formed 56 monophyletic clusters, with a range of 2–79 sequences. The CRF02_AG regional dispersal differed across Spain (p = 0.003), as suggested by monophyletic clustering. For the largest monophyletic cluster (subepidemic) (N = 79), 49.4% of the clustered sequences originated from Madrid, while most sequences (51.9%) had been obtained from men having sex with men (MSM). Molecular clock analysis suggested that the origin (tMRCA) of the CRF02_AG subepidemic was in 2002 (median estimate; 95% Highest Posterior Density-HPD interval: 1999–2004). Additionally, we found significant clustering within the CRF02_AG subepidemic according to the ethnic origin.Conclusion: CRF02_AG has been introduced as a result of multiple introductions in Spain, following regional dispersal in several cases. We showed that CRF02_AG transmissions were mostly due to regional dispersal in Spain. The hot-spot for the largest CRF02_AG regional subepidemic in Spain was in Madrid associated with MSM transmission risk group. The existence of subepidemics suggest that several spillovers occurred from Madrid to other areas. CRF02_AG sequences from Hispanics were clustered in a separate subclade suggesting no linkage between the local and Hispanic subepidemics

How do women living with HIV experience menopause? Menopausal symptoms, anxiety and depression according to reproductive age in a multicenter cohort

CatedresBackground: To estimate the prevalence and severity of menopausal symptoms and anxiety/depression and to assess the differences according to menopausal status among women living with HIV aged 45-60 years from the cohort of Spanish HIV/AIDS Research Network (CoRIS). Methods: Women were interviewed by phone between September 2017 and December 2018 to determine whether they had experienced menopausal symptoms and anxiety/depression. The Menopause Rating Scale was used to evaluate the prevalence and severity of symptoms related to menopause in three subscales: somatic, psychologic and urogenital; and the 4-item Patient Health Questionnaire was used for anxiety/depression. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) of association between menopausal status, and other potential risk factors, the presence and severity of somatic, psychological and urogenital symptoms and of anxiety/depression. Results: Of 251 women included, 137 (54.6%) were post-, 70 (27.9%) peri- and 44 (17.5%) pre-menopausal, respectively. Median age of onset menopause was 48 years (IQR 45-50). The proportions of pre-, peri- and post-menopausal women who had experienced any menopausal symptoms were 45.5%, 60.0% and 66.4%, respectively. Both peri- and post-menopause were associated with a higher likelihood of having somatic symptoms (aOR 3.01; 95% CI 1.38-6.55 and 2.63; 1.44-4.81, respectively), while post-menopause increased the likelihood of having psychological (2.16; 1.13-4.14) and urogenital symptoms (2.54; 1.42-4.85). By other hand, post-menopausal women had a statistically significant five-fold increase in the likelihood of presenting severe urogenital symptoms than pre-menopausal women (4.90; 1.74-13.84). No significant differences by menopausal status were found for anxiety/depression. Joint/muscle problems, exhaustion and sleeping disorders were the most commonly reported symptoms among all women. Differences in the prevalences of vaginal dryness (p = 0.002), joint/muscle complaints (p = 0.032), and sweating/flush (p = 0.032) were found among the three groups. Conclusions: Women living with HIV experienced a wide variety of menopausal symptoms, some of them initiated before women had any menstrual irregularity. We found a higher likelihood of somatic symptoms in peri- and post-menopausal women, while a higher likelihood of psychological and urogenital symptoms was found in post-menopausal women. Most somatic symptoms were of low or moderate severity, probably due to the good clinical and immunological situation of these women
