Objective. To determine the association of dyslipidemia with decreased glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with CKD KDIGO ≥3. Material and methods. Observational, analytical, longitudinal, ambispective study; was carried out at the Family Medicine Unit (UMF) No. 55 Zumpango, the sample size was calculated using the mean difference formula, with an expected mean of 5.2, obtaining n= 90 patients with CKD KDIGO ≥3 , between 20-69 years. Patients with dyslipidemia and without dyslipidemia were classified into 2 groups, in which creatinine was evaluated to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), total cholesterol and triglycerides, subjects with renal function replacement therapy, patients with pathologies or treatments that modify lipid metabolism. For the bivariate analysis, the Student’s T test and the Mann-Whitney U test were applied according to the type of distribution presented by the eGFR values for the groups with and without dyslipidemia. Result and conclusion. Based on the eGFR values for the groups with and without dyslipidemia, they show that patients aged 20 to 69 years with CKD KDIGO ≥ 3 with dyslipidemia presented a mean eGFR of 40.24 for the first analysis, and 34.70 for the follow-up analysis., with a mean difference of 5.53, which was significant (p=0.003).

‘Chiari Malformations’ are a group of pathologies involving the Craniocervical junction. The most common is Chiari I malformation (CIM), which is characterised by a downward dislocation of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. Symptomatic patients and those with syringomyelia are candidates for decompression of the Craniocervical junction. A variety of complications have been described in the literature following this procedure. We present the case of a cerebellar abscess following Craniocervical junction decompression for CIM in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which, in our knowledge, is the first described in the literature. We believe that RA and its treatment were major contributors to this complication, mainly due to the immune impairment and the subtle infectious clinical manifestations that they cause. This case led us to modify the perioperative management of patients with RA who undergo spinal surgery in our department. We suggest that strict infection prevention measures should be taken by spine surgeons who treat patients with RA and a high suspicion index for infection should be maintained.
奇拉氏畸形 "是一组涉及颅颈交界处的病变。最常见的是Chiari I畸形(CIM),其特征是小脑扁桃体通过枕骨大孔向下脱位。有症状的患者和患有鞘膜积液的患者都适合进行颅颈交界处减压术。文献中描述了这种手术后的各种并发症。据我们所知,这是文献中首次描述类风湿性关节炎(RA)患者在接受颅颈交界处减压术治疗 CIM 后出现小脑脓肿的病例。我们认为,类风湿性关节炎及其治疗是导致这一并发症的主要原因,这主要是由于类风湿性关节炎导致的免疫功能损害和微妙的感染性临床表现。该病例促使我们改变了我科对接受脊柱手术的 RA 患者的围手术期管理。我们建议脊柱外科医生在治疗RA患者时应采取严格的感染预防措施,并对感染保持高度怀疑。

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis has a variable presentation making diagnosis difficult as it can be mistaken for IgA vasculitis which presents similarly. We report a case of granulomatosis with polyangiitis presenting with a bullous rash. Our patient was admitted for bullous purpura to the extremities, and reported symptoms of sinus infection, productive cough
肉芽肿伴多血管炎的表现形式多变,容易被误诊为表现相似的 IgA 血管炎,因此诊断困难。我们报告了一例伴有多血管炎的肉芽肿病,表现为大牛皮疹。患者因四肢出现大泡性紫癜而入院,并报告了鼻窦感染、有痰咳嗽等症状。

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocation is observed in 4–5% of lung adenocarcinoma patients. In October 2012, we diagnosed a translocated ALK lung adenocarcinoma with pleural and bone metastases in a 42-year-old woman. After 16 months of chemotherapy, due to progression of the abdominal lymph nodes, the patient started Crizotinib. After 28 months, brain MRI documented progression of brain disease and a CT scan showed lung progression. The patient underwent whole-brain radiotherapy and Ceritinib was started but discontinued after six months due to grade 3 gastrointestinal toxicity. In June 2017, progression of meningeal disease was documented and the patient started Brigatinib. After 41 months the brain CT scan showed multiple lesions and Lorlatinib was started. The patient is still continuing this therapy while maintaining a good quality of life. The advent of ALK inhibitors has changed the prognosis of these patients even in cases of cerebral and meningeal metastatic disease.
