Introducción: El duelo anticipado es una reacción psicológica, se experimenta ante la pérdida de un ser querido, los cuidadores de personas en estado terminal lo viven y afrontan en cinco etapas: negación, ira o enfado, negociación, depresión, aceptación. Objetivo: Identificar el proceso del duelo anticipado en familiares de pacientes oncológicos incluidos en el programa de cuidados paliativos de una clínica de la ciudad Santiago de Cali. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo tipo serie de casos, la población estuvo constituida por familiares de pacientes incluidos en el “Programa de Cuidados Paliativos”. Criterio de inclusión: cuidador mayor de 18 años, Criterio de exclusión: fallecimiento del paciente antes del inicio de recolección de información. Las variables fueron: sexo, edad, nivel educativo, estado civil y tiempo de diagnóstico de la enfermedad.

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease leading to major public health problems worldwide and continuing to increase every year. Hypertension is often known as “the silent killer” because it does not usually cause symptoms on its own, yet it slowly damages the blood vessels and in the long term, becomes a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This study aims to determine the associated risk factors of hypertension among people of productive age in the working area of the Bara Baraya Public Health Center, Makassar City, Indonesia.

La ruptura o filtración de los implantes de la glándula mamaria hacen necesario retirar el silicón del bolsillo periprotésico, por lo que se plantea el uso de una sustancia inocua que permita eliminar la mayor cantidad del mismo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la posibilidad de la existencia de un disolvente del polimetilsiloxano, biocompatible y eficiente, para ser utilizado en el bolsillo periprotésico que contenga silicón libre. Se realizó un estudio experimental, comparativo, transversal, de casos y controles. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 7 ratas de la cepa Sprague-Dawley, con peso comprendido entre 150 y 200 g. En la primera fase se elaboraron disolventes de silicón biocompatibles, se probaron macroscópicamente en 2 colgajos resecados de abdominoplastias de 2 pacientes femeninas que se impregnaron con gel de silicón cohesivo de implantes mamarios lisos.

Introduction: Laryngeal fractures cause significant problems with airway patency, vocal production, and swallowing function. The mechanism of injury can be sharp or blunt and can occur in the supraglottic, glottic, or infraglottic regions. Blunt external trauma to the neck caused by motor vehicle accidents, sports-related trauma, assault, and strangulation are the most frequent causes of laryngeal ruptures and fractures. Penetrating trauma is the second leading cause, often due to gunshot or stab wounds to the neck. The immediate goal in patients presenting to the emergency department with laryngeal rupture is to secure the airway. One of the indications for tracheostomy placement includes acute respiratory failure with the need for prolonged mechanical ventilation.

Introducción: El uso de las vacunas es una de las estrategias más relevantes de salud pública en el mejoramiento de los indicadores de salud perinatal. Objetivo: Analizar la perspectiva actual con respecto a la vacunación durante el embarazo. Métodos: Se realizó revisión narrativa de la evidencia nacional e internacional con respecto a la perspectiva actual de la vacunación durante el embarazo. Resultados: El conocimiento obtenido a partir de la investigación de la interacción inmunitaria entre la madre y el feto-lactante-neonato, así como de la respuesta inmunitaria generada por las inmunizaciones maternas, permite desarrollar una toma de decisiones basados en la evidencia con el mayor beneficio esperado y el menor riesgo posible que permita prevenir la infección y establecer la vacuna a utilizar.

Introduction: Gratitude is widely contemplated in philosophy and theology, although its dissemination in psychology and health sciences is scarce. It is defined as the cognitive and affective state of appreciation in a person favored by a benefactor’s contributions. The Gratitude Questionnaire–Six Item Form is one of the most used scales for measuring this construct in several sociocultural contexts. Objectives: The aims were to determine the factorial, convergent, and discriminant validity and to identify its reliability and invariance according to gender, age, and residence.

Los antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINES) son muy efectivos para controlar la inflamación y el dolor, pero son lesivos en la mucosa gástrica y en promover el sangrado. En la búsqueda de una alternativa terapéutica mediante el uso de enzimas proteolíticas y antiedematosas, en este estudio se evaluó el efecto antiinflamatorio de la serrapeptasa (serratia peptidasa) versus AINES. Se presenta un estudio experimental, comparativo, transversal, de casos y controles.

The relevance of research on the preventive properties of chemical radioprotectors is currently due to the need to implement a system of radiation safety measures for the population. The study aimed to investigate the significance of corticosteroid binding to plasma proteins in the mechanism of influence of the radioprotector RS-10 on adrenal cortical function in healthy and irradiated animals. Experiments were carried out on 60 male rabbits of the chinchilla breed. In the first series of experiments, the reaction of the adrenal cortex and the processes of binding them to proteins after administration of RS-10 intact animals were studied; in the second series – the same indicators in animals exposed to RS-10 prophylactic administration.

El desarrollo de las redes sociales ha impactado en diferentes aspectos de la vida de las personas incluyendo la salud. Día tras día surgen nuevas redes sociales con las cuales interactúan millones de personas alrededor del mundo, incluyendo los médicos y otros profesionales sanitarios. Sin embargo, poco se sabe de las dificultades y retos que implican su utilización en el campo de la salud y las implicancias bioéticas que conllevan su uso en el ejercicio profesional de la medicina. Por ello, se presenta una revisión narrativa de este tema, a fin de aquilatar sobre las consideraciones bioéticas inherentes a la interacción de los médicos en las distintas redes sociales disponibles en la actualidad.
