Metabolic Syndrome, depression and patient safety culture in Mexican resident physicians

Background: Medical residence can affect the well-being and health of resident physicians (rp), which are directly related to the quality of medical care and patient safety. El objective was to identify the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), depressive symptoms, and evaluate the culture of patient safety in resident physicians. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical survey of 106 physicians residing in 13 medical specialties of a public hospital in Mexico. MetS was defined according to who criteria and depressive symptoms using the cesd-r scale; the culture of patient safety was evaluated with the Spanish version of the Hospital Survey on Patient safety. Results: 53.7% had a combined prevalence of overweight/obesity and insulin resistance was found in 33%. 8.5% of rp had prediabetes and 2.5% diabetes. 23.6% of the sample presented two MetS components. The prevalence of MetS was 8.5% and depressive symptoms were found in 21.7% of rp. The evaluation of the culture of patient safety showed strength in the dimensions of teamwork in the unit-service, organizational learning- continuous improvement, expectations and actions of the direction and frequency of reported events, perception of patient safety culture was found in 8/10 rp. Conclusions: A high prevalence of cardiometabolic alterations and depressive symptoms was found in Mexican rp. It is necessary to promote self-care for health and to strengthen the concept of patient safety culture among resident physicians

Aspectos genéticos de los Feocromocitomas y Paragangliomas

Pheochromocytomas (FCC) and Paragangliomas (PGG) are tumors derived from neural crest cells, which secrete catecholamines. 80-85% of FCCs derive from the adrenal medulla, while 15-20% from extra-adrenal chromaffin tissue. Advances in genetic research have made it possible to identify multiple genes involved in the physiopathogenesis of these tumors, such that they could have an underlying germline mutation. The existence of spontaneous mutations, low penetrance, maternal protection and interactions between genes or with the environment can partly explain this fact. The existence of a mutation in an affected patient must be confirmed before offering a genetic study to their asymptomatic relatives. The clinician must consider several factors such as: tumor location, hormonal production, malignancy, multicentricity, and family history before deciding which mutation should be studied first. An early diagnosis of these tumors, accompanied by a correct genetic diagnosis, should be a priority that allows better treatment, the early detection of complications, a correct screening of relatives and other related tumors, as well as an improvement in the overall prognosis of these patients. Providing knowledge of new genes that cause hereditary disease has led to a change in the recommendations regarding the need for a genetic study to provide the appropriate treatment in time.  Los Feocromocitomas (FCC) y Paragangliomas (PGG) son tumores derivados de células de la cresta neural, que secretan catecolaminas. El 80-85% de los FCC derivan de la médula adrenal, mientras el 15-20% de tejido cromafín extra adrenal. Avances en la investigación genética han permitido identificar múltiples genes implicados en la fisiopatogenia de estos tumores, de forma que podrían tener una mutación germinal subyacente. La existencia de mutaciones espontáneas, baja penetrancia, protección materna e interacciones entre genes o con el ambiente puede explicar en parte este hecho. Debe confirmarse, la existencia de una mutación en un paciente afecto antes de ofrecer estudio genético a sus familiares asintomáticos. El clínico debe considerar diversos factores como: la localización del tumor, producción hormonal, malignidad, multicentricidad e historia familiar antes de decidir que mutación debe estudiarse en primer lugar. Un diagnóstico precoz de estos tumores, acompañado de un correcto diagnóstico genético, debe ser una prioridad que permita un mejor tratamiento, la detección precoz de complicaciones, un correcto tamizaje de familiares y de otros tumores relacionados, así como una mejoría en el pronóstico global de estos pacientes. El brindar conocimiento de nuevos genes causantes de la enfermedad hereditaria ha supuesto un cambio en las recomendaciones sobre la necesidad de realizar estudio genético para brindar el tratamiento adecuado a tiempo.

For the concentration of 1 µL of aqueous extract a cellular viability of 100% was observed, for the concentration of 10 µL of the aqueous extract a massive proliferative effect was observed of 417.89%, and for the concentration of 100 µL of aqueous extract was observed a cellular viability of 26.39%. In the case of the ethanolic extracts, they showed to be cytotoxic since the concentrations of 1 µL, 10 µL and 100 µL reduced the cellular viability to 67.17%, 51.65% and 10.22%, respectively. All the experiments were compared with the control. Due to the fact that some vegetable polymeric proteins, known as lectins such as concanavalin A and phytohaemagglutinin are polyclonal activators, also considered as mitogens due to the fact that they encourage T lymphocytes to commence cell division; we think the mitogenic effect-like that we observed in our aqueous extract may be as a consequence of the presence of lectins in it.</span

International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortiu (INICC) report, data summary of 43 countries for 2007-2012. Device-associated module

We report the results of an International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) surveillance study from January 2007-December 2012 in 503 intensive care units (ICUs) in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. During the 6-year study using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) U.S. National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) definitions for device-associated health care–associated infection (DA-HAI), we collected prospective data from 605,310 patients hospitalized in the INICC's ICUs for an aggregate of 3,338,396 days. Although device utilization in the INICC's ICUs was similar to that reported from ICUs in the U.S. in the CDC's NHSN, rates of device-associated nosocomial infection were higher in the ICUs of the INICC hospitals: the pooled rate of central line–associated bloodstream infection in the INICC's ICUs, 4.9 per 1,000 central line days, is nearly 5-fold higher than the 0.9 per 1,000 central line days reported from comparable U.S. ICUs. The overall rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia was also higher (16.8 vs 1.1 per 1,000 ventilator days) as was the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (5.5 vs 1.3 per 1,000 catheter days). Frequencies of resistance of Pseudomonas isolates to amikacin (42.8% vs 10%) and imipenem (42.4% vs 26.1%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates to ceftazidime (71.2% vs 28.8%) and imipenem (19.6% vs 12.8%) were also higher in the INICC's ICUs compared with the ICUs of the CDC's NHSN
