Background: Guidelines in medicine are essential tools to provide quality and standardised medical care. We analysed the quality of aesthetic medicine guidelines.

Methods: A systematic review with a prospective registration protocol (https://osf.io/8pdyv) of databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, CDSR), web pages of scientific societies and grey literature was done from inception to February 2023 and without language restrictions. Quality was evaluated using AGREE II (% of the maximum score), RIGHT (% of the total 35 items) and a shared decision making (SDM) quality assessment tool (31 items score) individually and in duplicate, respectively.

Results: Six (86%) guidelines were classified as not recommended; one (14%) was recommended with modifications, and all were classified as poorly reported (7/7; 100%). The median overall quality was 27% (IQR: 26-43) and 26% (IQR 15-36) for AGREE II and RIGHT, respectively. No document used these tools for its development. SDM appeared superfluity in almost all of the guidelines explored.

Conclusions: Aesthetic medicine and surgical guidelines had low quality and must be improved. There is a wide range of improvement, especially in applicability, reporting of evidence, recommendations, conflict of interest, quality control and SDM. These guidelines require a rigorous methodology based on systematic reviews to ensure quality evidence-based recommendations.

背景:医学指南是提供高质量和标准化医疗服务的重要工具。我们分析了美容医学指南的质量:方法:我们采用前瞻性注册协议 (https://osf.io/8pdyv) 对数据库(MEDLINE、EMBASE、Web of Science、Scopus、CDSR)、科学协会网页和灰色文献进行了系统性审查,审查时间从开始到 2023 年 2 月,没有语言限制。分别使用 AGREE II(占最高分的百分比)、RIGHT(占总分 35 项的百分比)和共享决策(SDM)质量评估工具(31 项得分)对质量进行评估,评估结果一式两份:六份指南(86%)被归类为不推荐;一份(14%)经修改后被推荐,所有指南均被归类为报告质量差(7/7;100%)。AGREE II 和 RIGHT 的总体质量中位数分别为 27% (IQR: 26-43) 和 26% (IQR 15-36)。没有一份文件使用这些工具进行开发。SDM在几乎所有探讨过的指南中都显得多余:结论:美容医学和外科指南的质量较低,必须加以改进。需要改进的地方很多,尤其是在适用性、证据报告、建议、利益冲突、质量控制和 SDM 方面。这些指南需要基于系统回顾的严格方法,以确保基于证据的建议质量。

Background: Morphological properties such as length and tortuosity of the large intestine segments play important roles, especially in interventional procedures like colonoscopy.

Objective: Using computed tomography (CT) colonoscopy images, this study aimed to examine the morphological features of the colon's anatomical sections and investigate the relationship of these sections with each other or with age groups. The shapes of the transverse colon were analyzed using artificial intelligence.

Methods: The study was conducted as a two- and three-dimensional examination of CT colonography images of people between 40 and 80 years old, which were obtained retrospectively. An artificial intelligence algorithm (YOLOv8) was used for shape detection on 3D colon images.

Results: 160 people with a mean age of 89 men and 71 women included in the study were 57.79±8.55 and 56.55±6.60, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference (p= 0.24). The total colon length was 166.11±25.07 cm for men and 158.73±21.92 cm for women, with no significant difference between groups (p=0.12). As a result of the training of the model Precision, Recall, and Mean Average Precision (mAP) were found to be 0.8578, 0.7940, and 0.9142, respectively.

Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of understanding the type and morphology of the large intestine for accurate interpretation of CT colonography results and effective clinical management of patients with suspected large intestine abnormalities. Furthermore, this study showed that 88.57% of the images in the test data set were detected correctly and that AI can play an important role in colon typing.

背景:大肠节段的长度和迂曲度等形态学特性具有重要作用,尤其是在结肠镜检查等介入性手术中:本研究使用计算机断层扫描(CT)结肠镜图像,旨在检查结肠解剖切面的形态特征,并研究这些切面之间或与年龄组之间的关系。研究采用人工智能对横结肠的形状进行了分析:研究是对 40 至 80 岁人群的 CT 结肠造影图像进行二维和三维检查,这些图像是回顾性获得的。研究采用人工智能算法(YOLOv8)对三维结肠图像进行形状检测:160 人中,男性 89 人,女性 71 人,平均年龄分别为(57.79±8.55)岁和(56.55±6.60)岁,差异无统计学意义(P= 0.24)。男性结肠总长度为(166.11±25.07)厘米,女性结肠总长度为(158.73±21.92)厘米,组间差异无统计学意义(P=0.12)。模型训练的结果显示,精确度、回收率和平均精确度(mAP)分别为 0.8578、0.7940 和 0.9142:本研究强调了了解大肠的类型和形态对于准确解读 CT 结肠造影结果和对疑似大肠异常患者进行有效临床管理的重要性。此外,该研究还表明,测试数据集中 88.57% 的图像被正确检测出来,人工智能在结肠分型中可以发挥重要作用。

Case description: Four cases of patients aged 41, 33, 43 and 68 years who presented periapical lesions and needed periodontal surgery for pre-prosthetic purposes.

Clinical findings: The first case presented an intra-radicular retainer that was difficult to remove and likely to generate a root fracture. In addition, asymmetry of the gingival zenith was observed. The second case presented a complete crown at 16 with mesial marginal mismatch and subgingival margins distally. The third case presented a vestibular fistula with inflammation at the cervical level. The fourth case presented a vestibular fistula in the upper right lateral incisor. All patients showed apical lesions.

Treatment and outcome: The first three cases received coronal lengthening and apical surgery in the same surgical procedure. In the fourth case, apical surgery was performed, and placement of implants 13 and 15 with a pontic of 14. During the clinical control and radiographs performed after the surgical procedures, bone filling of the lesion was found.

Clinical relevance: Considering the results obtained, performing the periodontal and endodontic surgery procedures in a single surgical act is suggested. This reduces costs, travel, number of appointments, medication intake and post-surgical complications.

病例描述:4例患者年龄分别为41岁、33岁、43岁和68岁,他们出现根尖周围病变,需要进行牙周手术进行修复前手术。临床表现:第一个病例表现为根内固位器难以移除,并可能产生根骨折。此外,观察到牙龈顶不对称。第二个病例在16岁时出现了一个完整的冠,中边缘不匹配和远端龈下边缘。第三例为前庭瘘伴宫颈炎症。第4例为右上侧切牙前庭瘘。所有患者均出现根尖病变。治疗和结果:前3例患者在同一手术过程中接受冠状动脉延长和根尖手术。第4例行根尖手术,植入假体13和15,桥体14。在临床对照和术后x线片检查中,发现病变部位有骨填充。临床意义:考虑到所获得的结果,建议在一次手术中完成牙周和牙髓手术。这减少了费用、旅行、预约次数、药物摄入和术后并发症。

Increased para-aortic adipose tissue on echocardiography may closely be related with fragmented QRS.
IF 0.7 4区 医学 Q3 MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL Pub Date : 2024-06-30 eCollection Date: 2024-04-01 DOI: 10.25100/cm.v55i2.5986

Background: The association of fragmented QRS (fQRS) with many cardiac pathologies such as cardiac fibrosis has been described previously. Paraaortic adipose tissue (PAT) is thought to be associated with many cardiac diseases and there is only one publication on its echocardiographic evaluation.

Aims: To describe the possible relationship between fQRS and PAT.

Methods: Patients presenting to the cardiology outpatient clinic were evaluated for inclusion in the study. Presence of additional R' wave or notching/splitting of S wave in two contiguous ECG leads was defined as fragmented QRS (fQRS) and patients were divided into two groups according to fQRS status on ECG. The hypoechoic space in front of the ascending aorta was considered as PAT in the parasternal long-axis view. The medical history and routine laboratory parameters of the participants were recorded. Univariate and multivariate binary regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between PAT and fQRS.

Results: A total of 221 patients were enrolled and divided into two groups according to fQRS status. PAT was significantly higher in the fQRS group: 9.2 mm (7.1/12.3) vs 6.8 mm (1.2/10.9), p=0.001. Univariate analysis showed significant association between fragmented QRS and PAT size (OR 1.122, p= 0.001). Binary regression analysis revealed an independent and strong association between aortic size (OR 1.4, CI95% 1.012-1.938, p=0.042), paraaortic adipose tissue (OR 1.483, CI95% 1.084-2.029, p=0.014) and fragmented QRS.

Conclusions: The presence of fQRS is associated with PAT, a newly defined parameter in echocardiography.

Background: Managing foreign bodies in otorhinolaryngology requires appropriate treatment based on case severity.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics associated with complicated cases of foreign bodies.

Methods: This study categorized patients with diagnosed foreign bodies into complicated and uncomplicated cases. Complicated cases were defined as complications from foreign bodies requiring an operating room procedure, hospitalization, or tracheal foreign body. Otherwise, they were considered uncomplicated. Clinical data and disease variables were recorded. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to evaluate the significance of different clinical features between the groups (p-value <0.05).

Results: Of the 751 cases studied, most cases involving foreign bodies were treated outpatient and typically presented without complications, while 20.1% (n=151) were confirmed as complicated. There were 119 cases present with complications from foreign bodies, 58 requiring removals in an operating room, 57 needing hospitalization, and two tracheal foreign bodies. Multivariate analysis revealed that male gender (p-value 0.043, OR (95%CI) = 1.554 (1.015-2.378)), positive presenting symptoms (p-value <0.0001, OR (95%CI)= 4.081 (2.299-7.248)), foreign body in the hypopharyngeal area (p-value <0.0001, OR (95%CI) = 65.615 (6.907-623.336)), and foreign body in the laryngeal area (p-value 0.006, OR (95%CI) = 27.787 (2.568-300.673)) were significantly associated with complicated foreign bodies cases.

Conclusion: Complicated foreign body cases should be addressed in male patients complaining of symptoms and foreign bodies in the hypopharyngeal and laryngotracheal locations. Due to the complexity of their condition, effective management of these patients requires a multidisciplinary approach.

Background: Differences in asthma prevalence between urban and rural areas have been observed worldwide. Epidemiological studies in middle- and low-income countries suggest that internal migration processes may partly explain these disparities.

Objective: To investigate the association between internal migration and asthma in children living in transitional areas of Ecuador.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from a birth cohort of children living in a tropical coastal region in northwestern Ecuador. Asthma indicators included wheezing in the past 12 months, ever wheezing, and asthma diagnosis by a doctor. Internal migration was defined as a change of residence between geographical units: cantonal, parish, and census tract. The relationship between asthma and migration was analyzed using binary logistic regression.

Results: Of 2,404 participants, 1,818 children met the inclusion criteria. Among them, 2.8% experienced cantonal migration, 11.9% parish migration, and 24.6% census tract migration. The prevalence of wheezing in the past 12 months, ever wheezing, and asthma diagnosis by a doctor was 13.1%, 33.3%, and 7%, respectively. Children with a history of cantonal migration were more likely to have experienced wheezing compared to those who did not migrate (OR: 1.56; 95%CI: 0.87-2.79).

Conclusions: Changes in residence between smaller or adjacent geographic units appeared not to be associated with asthma prevalence. However, cantonal migration may play a role in respiratory health outcomes.

Introduction: Intestinal parasites particularly affect vulnerable populations, making their management crucial in endemic areas.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between intestinal parasites, socioeconomic characteristics, and anthropometric nutritional status.

Methods: This is an observational, cross-sectional study conducted on children aged 1 to 15 years in Tartagal, Argentina, for a year. Intestinal parasitic infections were determined through fecal analysis using sedimentation techniques (Teleman), Kato-Katz, and the Baerman method. Demographic and socioeconomic data were collected using a standardized survey. Height, weight, and mid-upper arm and head circumference were measured in the participants.

Results: Of the 588 participants who provided fecal samples, 55.4% had intestinal parasites, with G. lamblia and H. nana being the most prevalent species. Additionally, 31.9% of participants were found to have malnutrition due to excess weight. Risk factors for intestinal parasite presence included age, overcrowding, and walking barefoot, while owning a refrigerator, having an animal corral, adequate water storage, and belonging to the Guaraní ethnic group were protective factors. High vulnerability areas were observed regarding housing conditions and access to public services.

Conclusions: An association between socioeconomic conditions and the risk of intestinal parasite presence was observed. However, no association was found between anthropometric nutritional status and the presence of intestinal parasites.

导言:肠道寄生虫对弱势人群的影响尤为严重,因此在寄生虫流行地区,对寄生虫的管理至关重要:评估肠道寄生虫、社会经济特征和人体营养状况之间的关系:这是一项观察性横断面研究,研究对象是阿根廷塔尔塔加尔市 1 至 15 岁的儿童,为期一年。通过使用沉淀技术(泰勒曼法)、卡托-卡茨法和巴曼法进行粪便分析,确定肠道寄生虫感染情况。通过标准化调查收集了人口和社会经济数据。对参与者的身高、体重、中上臂和头围进行了测量:结果:在提供粪便样本的 588 名参与者中,55.4% 的人体内有肠道寄生虫,其中最常见的是 G. lamblia 和 H. nana。此外,31.9%的参与者因体重超标而营养不良。出现肠道寄生虫的风险因素包括年龄、过度拥挤和赤脚行走,而拥有冰箱、畜栏、充足的储水和瓜拉尼族群则是保护因素。在住房条件和获得公共服务方面,发现了一些高危地区:结论:社会经济条件与肠道寄生虫风险之间存在关联。然而,在人体测量营养状况与肠道寄生虫的存在之间没有发现任何关联。

Description of the cases: A series of 6 cases with a probable diagnosis of sporadic CJD, treated in a Peruvian national reference hospital, are presented.

Clinical findings: The relevant clinical signs were rapidly progressive dementia and myoclonus, followed by akinetic mutism and pyramidal signs.

Treatment and results: Of the cases presented, 80% were men, with an average age of presentation of 65 years and duration from diagnosis to death of 6.5 months. Laboratory tests, images (Brain Resonance) and protein dosage 14.3.3 were performed to support the clinical suspicion. There is no effective treatment at the moment for said pathology.

Clinical relevance: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a progressive, fatal, neurodegenerative disease of low prevalence and incidence. Great clinical suspicion and the exclusion of other etiologies are required. Currently there is no treatment for this entity and there is a high probability of death before one year.

病例描述:该系列病例共 6 例,可能被诊断为散发性脊髓灰质炎,在秘鲁一家国家参考医院接受治疗:相关临床症状为快速进展性痴呆和肌阵挛,随后出现运动性缄默症和锥体体征:病例中 80% 为男性,平均发病年龄为 65 岁,从确诊到死亡的病程为 6.5 个月。为证实临床怀疑,进行了实验室检查、图像(脑共振)和蛋白质剂量 14.3.3。上述病理目前尚无有效的治疗方法:克雅氏病(CJD)是一种进行性、致命的神经退行性疾病,发病率低。临床上需要高度怀疑并排除其他病因。目前还没有治疗这种疾病的方法,患者很有可能在一年前死亡。

Introduction: TRUS-guided prostate biopsy is a current method used to obtain the histopathological material necessary to make a definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Objective: To investigate patient-related variables affecting the level of pain felt during prostate biopsy to determine what can be done to minimize pain.

Methods: The study included 241 patients scheduled for prostate biopsy. Four patients who did not meet the criteria were excluded. Local anesthesia was administered intrarectally 10 minutes before the biopsy to 237 patients, and a conventional 12-core biopsy was performed. The level of pain felt by all patients during the biopsy was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score. Pain scores were compared by forming groups according to the selected parameters.

Results: The mean age of the 237 included patients was 66.0±7.8 years, the mean serum PSA level was 33.7±197.5 ng/dL, and the mean prostate volume was 33.7±197.5 ml. The mean VAS score was 4.3±1.9. The pain score was higher in patients with positive digital rectal examination findings and lower in patients using 5-alpha reductase inhibitors(5-ARİ). At the same time, no significant difference was found in patients with positive tumor pathology, perineural invasion, alpha-blockers, or combination therapy.

Conclusion: Some patient parameters may affect the level of pain felt during TRUS-guided prostate biopsy.

导言:TRUS引导下的前列腺活检术是目前用于获取前列腺癌明确诊断所需的组织病理学材料的一种方法:调查影响前列腺活检过程中疼痛程度的患者相关变量,以确定如何将疼痛降至最低:研究包括 241 名计划接受前列腺活检的患者。4名不符合标准的患者被排除在外。237 名患者在活组织检查前 10 分钟直肠内进行局部麻醉,然后进行传统的 12 核心活组织检查。所有患者在活检过程中的疼痛程度均采用视觉模拟量表(VAS)评分法进行测量。根据所选参数对疼痛评分进行分组比较:237例患者的平均年龄为(66.0±7.8)岁,平均血清PSA水平为(33.7±197.5)纳克/分升,平均前列腺体积为(33.7±197.5)毫升。平均 VAS 评分为 4.3±1.9。数字直肠指诊阳性患者的疼痛评分较高,使用 5-α 还原酶抑制剂(5-ARİ)的患者疼痛评分较低。同时,肿瘤病理检查阳性、有硬膜外侵犯、使用α-受体阻滞剂或联合治疗的患者的疼痛评分没有明显差异:结论:患者的一些参数可能会影响TRUS引导下前列腺活检时的疼痛程度。
