    Introduction: Dengue virus replication has been considered mainly cytoplasmic, however, studies indicate that some flaviviruses may use the intranuclear pathway as part of the machinery that the virus uses to increase infection capacity in the host cell. This paper describes alterations at nuclear level in the cell infected with dengue, which are likely involved in the virus replication processes. Objective: This paper addresses the ultrastructural observations of C6/36 cells of the Aedes albopictus mosquito infected with dengue virus type 2. Materials and methods: C6/36 cells were infected in culture medium with the serum of a patient positively diagnosed for dengue 2. Subsequently, the cells were incubated for 10 days and the cytopathic effect was assessed. The cells were processed for immunofluorescence assays and transmission electron microscopy. Results: The immunofluorescence assays confirmed the presence of viral protein E associated with cellular syncytia in the culture. In the ultrastructural study, the infected cells showed vesicular-tubular structures and dilated cisterns of the endoplasmic reticulum at the cytoplasmic level. Viral particles were found exclusively in cytoplasm localized within the vacuoles. Nuclei of cellular syncytia showed membrane structures arranged in a circular shape and, in some cases, these syncytia displayed lysis; in no case viral particles were observed at the nuclear level. Conclusions: The ultrastructural alterations of nuclei in cells infected with the dengue virus using electron microscopy techniques had not been reported before, as far as we know. It is likely that such modifications are associated with replicative processes at an intranuclear level as an alternate replication mechanism

    Minimal invasive surgery (MIS) has been associated with lower disease-free survival than open surgery among women who underwent radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer. However, the mechanisms by which MIS increases mortality in cervical cancer remain uncertain. We aimed to determine if surgical practice among centers using robotic surgery has an impact on oncological outcomes. We evaluated 215 women with early-stage cervical cancer (≤IB1 or IIA1, FIGO 2009) who underwent robot-assisted radical hysterectomy in five Spanish tertiary centers between 2009 and 2018. A higher surgical volume, higher participation in clinical trials, higher rate of MRI use for diagnosis, greater use of sentinel lymph node biopsies, and a favorable learning curve with low rates of early recurrences were observed for the centers with better oncological outcomes. These factors might have a significant impact on oncological outcomes in all surgical approaches. Abstract: This study aimed to assess whether surgical practice had a significant impact on oncological outcomes among women who underwent robot-assisted radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer (≤IB1 or IIA1, FIGO 2009). The secondary objective was to audit the pre-surgical quality indicators (QI) proposed by the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO). The top 5 of 10 centers in Spain and Portugal were included in the analysis. The hospitals were divided into group A (n = 118) and group B (n = 97), with recurrence rates of 10%, respectively. After balancing both groups using the propensity score, the ORs for all events were higher and statistically significant for group B (recurrences OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.13-1.15, p-value = 0.001; death OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.02-1.18, p-value = 0.012; disease-specific mortality ORr = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.04-1.19, p-value = 0.002). A higher surgical volume, higher participation in clinical trials, higher rate of MRI use for diagnosis, greater use of sentinel lymph node biopsies, and a favorable learning curve with low rates of early recurrences were observed among the centers with better oncological outcomes. These factors might have a significant impact on oncological outcomes not only after robot-assisted surgery, but also after laparoscopies and open surgeries in the treatment of cervical cancer

    Background. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy has recently been accepted to evaluate nodal status in endometrial cancer at early stage, which is key to tailoring adjuvant treatments. Our aim was to evaluate the national implementation of SLN biopsy in terms of accuracy to detect nodal disease in a clinical setting and oncologic outcomes according to the volume of nodal disease. Patients and Methods. A total of 29 Spanish centers participated in this retrospective, multicenter registry including patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma at preoperative early stage who had undergone SLN biopsy between 2015 and 2021. Each center collected data regarding demographic, clinical, histologic, therapeutic, and survival characteristics. Results. A total of 892 patients were enrolled. After the surgery, 12.9% were suprastaged to FIGO 2009 stages III-IV and 108 patients (12.1%) had nodal involvement: 54.6% macrometastasis, 22.2% micrometastases, and 23.1% isolated tumor cells (ITC). Sensitivity of SLN biopsy was 93.7% and false negative rate was 6.2%. After a median follow up of 1.81 years, overall surivial and disease-free survival were significantly lower in patients who had macrometastases when compared with patients with negative nodes, micrometastases or ITC. Conclusions. In our nationwide cohort we obtained high sensitivity of SLN biopsy to detect nodal disease. The oncologic outcomes of patients with negative nodes and low-volume disease were similar after tailoring adjuvant treatments. In total, 22% of patients with macrometastasis and 50% of patients with micrometastasis were at low risk of nodal metastasis according to their preoperative risk factors, revealing the importance of SLN biopsy in the surgical management of patients with early stage EC

    OBJECTIVE: Cardiac disease is the leading cause of indirect maternal mortality. The aim of this study was to analyse to what extent socioeconomic factors influence the outcome of pregnancy in women with heart disease.  METHODS: The Registry of Pregnancy and Cardiac disease is a global prospective registry. For this analysis, countries that enrolled ≥10 patients were included. A combined cardiac endpoint included maternal cardiac death, arrhythmia requiring treatment, heart failure, thromboembolic event, aortic dissection, endocarditis, acute coronary syndrome, hospitalisation for cardiac reason or intervention. Associations between patient characteristics, country characteristics (income inequality expressed as Gini coefficient, health expenditure, schooling, gross domestic product, birth rate and hospital beds) and cardiac endpoints were checked in a three-level model (patient-centre-country).  RESULTS: A total of 30 countries enrolled 2924 patients from 89 centres. At least one endpoint occurred in 645 women (22.1%). Maternal age, New York Heart Association classification and modified WHO risk classification were associated with the combined endpoint and explained 37% of variance in outcome. Gini coefficient and country-specific birth rate explained an additional 4%. There were large differences between the individual countries, but the need for multilevel modelling to account for these differences disappeared after adjustment for patient characteristics, Gini and country-specific birth rate.  CONCLUSION: While there are definite interregional differences in pregnancy outcome in women with cardiac disease, these differences seem to be mainly driven by individual patient characteristics. Adjustment for country characteristics refined the results to a limited extent, but maternal condition seems to be the main determinant of outcome

    En 12 centros de salud de Cali, se hizo un ensayo clínico controlado, al azar, que incluyó 91 gestantes primigrávidas, normotensas, con alto riesgo biopsicosocial, una prueba de presión arterial supina positiva y una presión arterial media alta. Las futuras madres se asignaron a 3 grupos: 43 (47.2%) al grupo de intervención (Grupo A: calcio elemental, 600 mg, ácido linoleico, 450 mg); y 48 (52.7%) a 2 grupos controles [Grupo B: 24 (26.3%), con intervención psicosocial y placebo; Grupo C: otras 24 (26.3%) que recibieron doble placebo.] Para comenzar el estudio se hizo una evaluación obstétrica y nutricional, con evaluación prospectiva del resultado perinatal. La edad promedio fue 21.1±4.9 años; no hubo diferencias estadísticas en las variables sociodemográficas. Del total, 20 (21.9%) pacientes desarrollaron HIEP; en el Grupo A, 4 (9.3%) [RR = 0.22 (i.c. 95% 0.08 - 0.64), p = 0.001]; en el Grupo control B, 4 (16.7%); y en el Grupo control C, 12 (50.0%). El calcio elemental y el ácido linoleico en dosis bajas, durante el tercer trimestre del embarazo, disminuyeron significativamente la incidencia de preeclampsia en pacientes con alto riesgo de desarrollarla. We carried out a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebocontrolled study to investigate the capacity of linoleic acid/calcium and psychosocial support to prevent pregnancy-induced hypertension and pre-eclampsia. A total of 1,676 healthy primigravid women were screened with use of the prenatal biopsychosocial risk score, the roll-over test (a comparison of blood pressure before and after the woman rolls from her left side to her back) and the mean blood pressure during week 28 of 30 of gestation. Of 94 primigravid women with abnormal results [high biopsychosocial risk score (>3 pts), and increase in blood pressure during the roll-over test (> 15 mm Hg), and high mean blood pressure (>85 mm Hg)], 91 entered the study and were treated with a daily dose of either linoleic acid/calcium (Group A: 450/600 mg; 43 women) or placebo (Group B: psychosocial support and placebo; 24 women, Group C: placebo, 24 women) during the third trimester of pregnancy. The number of women in whom preeclamptic toxemia developed was significantly lower among the linoleic acid/calcium-treated than among the placebo-treated women [Group A: 4 (9.2%) vs. Group B: 4 (16.7%) vs. Group C: 12 (50%); p - 0.001] and reduced the relative risk to 0.22 (ci 95% 0.08-0.64, chi2 = 9.62, p = 0.03]. We conclude that low daily doses of linoleic acid/calcium taken during the third trimester of pregnancy significantly reduce the incidence of preeclamptic toxemia in women at high risk for this disorder
