Diagnóstico y tratamiento de la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal: Primer Consenso Latinoamericano de la Pan American Crohn's and Colitis Organisation

La incidencia y la prevalencia de la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) se han incrementado en los últimos a˜nos en varios países de Latinoamérica. Existe una necesidad de concientizar a gastroenterólogos y a la población en general para poder tener un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportunos en la colitis ulcerosa crónica idiopática (CUCI) y enfermedad de Crohn (EC). Es importante que todos los médicos tengan un criterio homogéneo acerca del diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la EII en América Latina. La Pan American Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (PANCCO) es un organismo con el propósito de incluir a todos los países del continente americano pero se enfoca de manera específica a los países latinos. Este Consenso está dividido en 2 partes para su publicación: 1) diagnóstico y tratamiento, y 2) situaciones especiales. Este es el primer Consenso latinoamericano cuyo objetivo es promover una perspectiva adaptadaa nuestros países latinos para el diagnóstico, el tratamiento y la monitorización de pacientescon CUCI y EC.© 2016 Asociaci´on Mexicana de Gastroenterolog´ıa.

ABSTRACT The incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has increased inrecent years in several Latin American countries. There is a need to raise awareness in gastro-enterologists and the population in general, so that early diagnosis and treatment of ulcerativecolitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease (CD) can be carried out. It is important for all physicians tohave homogeneous criteria regarding the diagnosis and treatment of IBD in Latin America. ThePan American Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (PANCCO) is an organization that aims to includeall the countries of the Americas, but it specifically concentrates on Latin America. The presentConsensus was divided into two parts for publication: 1) Diagnosis and treatment and 2) Specialsituations.This is the first Latin American Consensus whose purpose is to promote a perspective adaptedto our Latin American countries for the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients withUC and CD.© 2016 Asociaci´on Mexicana de Gastroenterolog´ıa.

Situaciones especiales en la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal: primer consenso latinoamericano de la Pan American Crohn's and Colitis Organisation (PANCCO) (Segunda parte)

Nivel de acuerdo: 100%) excepto en los pacientes con enfermedad de Crohn (EC) activa, mujeres con un historial de cirugía pélvica (Nivel de evidencia: 1. Nivel de acuerdo: 100%) u hombres que reciben tratamiento con sulfasalazina (Nivel de evidencia: 3. Nivel de acuerdo: 100%)

Update of the PANCCO clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of ulcerative colitis in the adult population

Ulcerative colitis (US) is a chronic disease of unknown etiology. It is incurable and its clinical course is intermittent, characterized by periods of remission and relapse. The prevalence and incidence of the disease has been increasing worldwide. The update presented herein includes the participation of healthcare professionals, decision-makers, and a representative of the patients, all of whom declared their conflicts of interest. Answerable clinical questions were formulated, and the outcomes were graded. The information search was conducted on the Medline/PubMed, Embase, Epistemonikos, and LILACS databases, and covered grey literature sources, as well. The search was updated on November 30, 2020, with no restrictions regarding date or language. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) classification system was implemented to establish the strength of the recommendation and quality of evidence. A formal consensus was developed, based on the RAND/UCLA methodology and the document was peer reviewed. The short version of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis in the Adult Population is presented herein, together with the supporting evidence and respective recommendations. In mild-to-moderate UC, budesonide MMX is an option when treatment with 5-ASA fails, and before using systemic steroids. In moderate-to-severe UC, infliximab, adalimumab, vedolizumab, ustekinumab, and tofacitinib can be used as first-line therapy. If there is anti-TNF therapy failure, ustekinumab and tofacitinib provide the best results. In patients with antibiotic-refractory pouchitis, anti-TNFs are the treatment of choice

Mineralogical mapping of the Kerwan quadrangle on Ceres

The Ceres surface is globally composed of Mg-phyllosilicates, ammoniated clays, carbonates and dark components. To obtain a more detailed mineralogical and geological investigation, the dwarf planet surface has been divided into fifteen quadrangles. The aim of this work is to investigate the abundance of phyllosilicates and ammoniated clays in the Kerwan quadrangle, classified as Ac-H-7 and spanning from 22°S to 22°N in latitude and from 72°E to 144°E in longitude. Maps of band depth distribution at 2.7 μm and 3.1 μm have been performed and compared with a map of geometric albedo estimated at 1.2 μm. Phyllosilicates and ammoniated clays generally correlate in the Kerwan quadrangle, even if departure from this behavior is observed in the floor of Kerwan, Inamahari and Homsuk craters. The greatest abundance of ammoniated phyllosilicates is found in Rao and Kerwan ejecta, while Bonsu and Tafakula floors are the most depleted in volatile, as well as Inamahari and Dantu ejecta. Six bright spots are detected in the Kerwan quadrangle, and the one richest in carbonate is related to Dantu ejecta in the southeast region. Some younger features (such as Rao or Kerwan ejecta) show deeper band depths than older terrain, a contrast trend with respect to the entire Ceres surface. Since this correlation is observed in a few other places on other quadrangles but not on the entire Ceres surface, it is possible that recent impact events could have been masked this correlation

Actualización de la guía de práctica clínica PANCCO para el tratamiento de la colitis ulcerativa en población adulta

Resumen: La colitis ulcerativa (CU) es una enfermedad crónica de etiología desconocida, incurable, su curso clínico es intermitente, caracterizado por periodos de remisión y recaídas, su prevalencia e incidencia mundial ha venido incrementando. En esta actualización participaron profesionales de la salud, tomadores decisiones y un representante de los pacientes. Todos los involucrados declararon sus conflictos de interés. Se formularon preguntas clínicas contestables y se graduaron los desenlaces. La pesquisa de la información se realizó en Medline/PubMed, Embase, Epistemonikos y LILACS. La búsqueda también abarcó fuentes de literatura gris y se actualizó el 30 de noviembre de 2020 sin restricciones por fecha o idioma. Se implementó la aproximación Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) para establecer la calidad de la evidencia y la fuerza de las recomendación. Se realizó consenso formal implementando la metodología RAND/UCLA. El documento fue objeto de revisión por pares. Se presenta aquí la versión corta de la Guía de Práctica Clínica para el Tratamiento de la Colitis Ulcerativa en Población Adulta, junto con la evidencia de apoyo y las recomendaciones respectivas. En CU leve a moderada, la budesonida MMX es una opción en caso de falla a 5-ASA, y antes de usar esteroides sistémicos. En CU moderada a severa, infliximab y adalimumab, vedolizumab, ustekinumab y tofacitinib pueden ser usados como terapia de primera línea. En caso de falla a anti-TNF, los mejores resultados son con ustekinumab y tofacitinib. En pacientes con reservoritis refractaria a antibióticos, el tratamiento de elección son los anti-TNF.
