Thomasville Medical Center, Department of Emergency Medicine, Thomasville Medical Center, Thomasville, NC, USA. Int J Womens Health. 2013;5:1-8. doi: 10.2147/IJWH.S37137. Epub 2012 Dec 28. Abstract Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a form of dilated cardiomyopathy of unclear etiology affecting women without preexisting heart disease during the last month of pregnancy or during the first 5 months postpartum. Its incidence shows marked geographic and ethnic variation, being most common in Africa and among women of African descent. Most women present in the first month postpartum with typical heart failure symptoms such as dyspnea, lower extremity edema, and fatigue. These symptoms are often initially erroneously diagnosed as part of the normal puerperal process. Diagnosis can be aided by the finding of a significantly elevated serum brain natriuretic peptide. The etiology of PPCM is unclear; however, recent research suggests abnormal prolactin metabolism is seminal in its development, and prolactin antagonism with bromocriptine shows promise as a novel treatment for PPCM. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3536353/pdf/ijwh-5-001.pdf     Curso clínico variable de la cardiomiopatía periparto  The variable clinical course of peripartum cardiomyopathy.

Abstract BACKGROUND: In Europe, peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare disorder, often difficult to diagnose and it has a variable clinical course. The aim of this report was to describe and discuss the individual variability of this disorder and its management. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Three cases of PPCM manifesting as severe heart failure are compared. Common was the presence of myocardial inflammation detected by endomyocardial biopsy. Different were treatment methods and clinical course. Modern therapeutic concepts such as immunosuppressive therapy and bromocriptin administration are discussed, as well as non-pharmacological approaches. CONCLUSION: In the differential diagnostics of dyspnea associated with pregnancy and childbirth, PPCM should be considered. The potentially severe course of the disease requires hospitalization with the possibility of comprehensive heart failure treatment, including non-pharmacological approaches such as device therapy and heart transplantation. http://biomed.papers.upol.cz/getrevsrc.php?identification=public&mag=bio&raid=413&type=fin&ver=2     Una emergencia obstétrica llamada cardiomiopatía periparto  An obstetric emergency called peripartum cardiomyopathy!

Anestesia epidural combinada y bloqueo de nervios periféricos guiado con ultrasonido para revisión de la herida en una paciente con cardiomiopatía periparto  Combined epidural anesthesia and ultrasound guided peripheral nerve block for wound revision in a patient with peripartum cardiomyopathy -A case report-. Gong TK, Kim SS. Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Gangneung Asan Hospital, College of Medicine, Ulsan University, Gangneung, Korea. Korean J Anesthesiol. 2010 Nov;59(5):353-8. doi: 10.4097/kjae.2010.59.5.353. Epub 2010 Nov 25. Abstract Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare complication that occurs between the late stage of pregnancy and six months after delivery. PPCM presents as symptoms of left ventricular dysfunction and it can be fatal unless treated promptly. Furthermore, anesthesia and surgery in such patients is a large challenge to anesthesiologists. First and foremost, the maintenance of stable hemodynamics is a major concern. We report a case of combined lumbar epidural anesthesia and both ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block under ultrasound guided for a wound revision in a 37-year-old woman diagnosed with PPCM after an emergency cesarean section. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2998658/pdf/kjae-59-353.pdf     Informe de caso y mini revisión de literatura: manejo anestésico de cardiomiopatía periparto complicada con pre-eclampsia usando sufentanil en anestesia combinada peridural-espinal  Case report and mini literature review: anesthetic management for severe peripartum cardiomyopathy complicated with preeclampsia using sufetanil in combined spinal epidural anesthesia.

Abstract Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare entity, and anesthetic management for cesarean section of a patient with this condition can be challenging. We hereby present the anesthetic management of a patient with PPCM complicated with preeclampsia scheduled for cesarean section, along with a mini review of literature. A 24 year-old primigravida with twin gestation was admitted to our hospital with severe PPCM and preeclampsia for peripartum care, which finally required a cesarean section. Preoperative optimization was done according to the goal of managing left ventricular failure. Combined spinal epidural (CSE) anaesthesia with bupivacaine and sufentanil was used for cesarean section under optimal monitoring. The surgery was completed without event or complication. Postoperative pain relief was adequate and patient required only one epidural top up with sufentanil 6 hours after operation. To the best of our knowledge there is no report in literature of the use of sufentanil as a neuraxial opioid in the anesthetic management of cesarean section in a patient with PPCM. CSE with sufentanil may be a safer and more effective alternative in such cases. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3017683/pdf/ymj-52-1.pdf     Dosis baja de anestesia espinal en cardiomiopatía periparto Low dose spinal anesthesia for peripartum cardiomyopathy.

J Anaesthesiol Clin Pharmacol. 2011 Oct;27(4):567-8. doi: 10.4103/0970-9185.86615. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a dilated cardiomyopathy associated with cardiac failure in the last month of pregnancy or within five months of delivery. There is no identifiable cause of cardiac failure, no heart disease prior to the last month of pregnancy, and left ventricular systolic dysfunction. It has an incidence of one per 3500 live births and is associated with a high mortality rate (30-60%). Patients present with breathlessness, chest pain, pedal edema, cardiomegaly, and elevated jugular venous pressure (JVP). Complications like atrial/ventricular arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, pulmonary emboli, and even sudden death can occur. There is a strong association with gestational hypertension and twin pregnancies. The rate of Cesarean delivery increases. Many patients with left ventricular dysfunction become normal after delivery. There is a potential detrimental effect of subsequent pregnancy on the outcome of these patients. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3214576/   Miocardiopatía periparto y edema agudo pulmonar  Luis Razzeto-Ríos,  Luis Diego Razzeto-Rubio Rev Per Ginecol Obstet. 2009;55:211-214. Resumen Una mujer de 31 años, en la semana 34 de su segunda gestación, ingresó por dolor abdominal difuso de instauración brusca. En la exploración se objetivó una dilatación del cuello uterino de 7 cm, presentación transversa del feto, por lo que se indicó cesárea urgente, que se realizó bajo anestesia subaracnoidea, sin incidencias. Al segundo día del postoperatorio, la paciente inició un cuadro compatible con edema agudo del pulmón. Se le realizó una ecocardiografía, que mostró una disfunción sistólica global del ventrículo izquierdo, con fracción de eyección de 32%, y se diagnosticó miocardiopatía periparto, con insuficiencia respiratoria aguda por insuficiencia cardíaca. Se trató con furosemida y captopril y la evolución fue favorable. Al alta hospitalaria, la ecocardiografía mostró un ventrículo izquierdo de tamaño y espesor normal y fracción de eyección de 50%. La miocardiopatía periparto es una forma de insuficiencia cardíaca que se produce en el último trimestre de embarazo o durante los seis primeros meses del puerperio, en ausencia de una causa demostrable de disfunción ventricular y de enfermedad cardíaca previa. De acuerdo con la presentación clínica y con los hallazgos ecocardiográficos encontrados en esta paciente, consideramos que la miocardiopatía periparto fue la causa del edema agudo de pulmón.

¿A qué se llama libertad de pensar?

http://www.smo.edu.mx/colegiados/congreso-virtual.php


La libertad no se concibe
ni se ejerce cabalmente
si la responsabilidad no
la acompaña como la
sombra al cuerpo que
la proyecta.
• • •
El derecho de pensar con
libertad es tan necesario al
hombre como el derecho
de vivir, pues esto último
es la consecuencia de lo
primero.
• • •
La libertad más sagrada
es la libertad de pensar.

No nos referimos a la libertad de emitir opiniones, consagrada por nuestras leyes, sino a la libertad de pensar, en su íntimo sentido: la posibilidad de reflexionar y obrar, en todo momento, con independencia de prejuicios, de ideas ajenas, del qué dirán, etc., y asimismo, no hacer, pensar, ni decir lo que no debemos.
En este sentido, ¿quién se supone ampliamente libre?
En diversas oportunidades hicimos notar que casi todos creemos obrar conforme a nuestra voluntad y ser dueños de nuestra mente, sin advertir que tercian en tal circunstancia factores que son ajenos a nuestro propósito —algunos de ellos del más dudoso origen—, cuales serían los muchos pensamientos que suelen
adueñarse de la mente y obran burlando el control del hombre.
Observe el lector a esas personas cuya vida es el reflejo del torbellino psicológico que reina en su mente.
Cambian sin cesar de dirección, de ruta, de propósito; jamás se sienten seguras de nada; aquí y allá, tratan de adquirir, prestada, la convicción o la certeza que nunca pueden lograr por sí mismas.
Hoy le piden a un libro, mañana a un conferencista, después a una ideología, a una religión, a un partido, etc.
¿Tienen estas personas libertad de pensamiento? ¿Piensan, obran de acuerdo a su voluntad? Fácil es la
respuesta: la voluntad se encuentra en ellas dominada por conciliábulos de pensamientos ajenos que, a cierta altura de la vida, llegan a serles tan necesarios como el alcaloide al toxicómano. «No puedo darle mi opinión sobre este punto; todavía no he leído los diarios...».
Esta sutileza de Bernard Shaw encierra, desgraciadamente, una verdad común. Y obsérvese también el caso de aquellos que están absorbidos por un pensamiento, en forma que llega casi a constituir su obsesión. En circunstancias como ésta, el individuo termina muchas veces por adquirir las características del pensamiento que lo embarga, y hasta su nombre; se dice: «fulano es un bebedor», «es un maniático», «es un amargado».
En el primero de los ejemplos que hemos expuesto, es decir, cuando los pensamientos se suceden sin orden
ni concierto en la mente, hablar de la libertad que se tiene para satisfacer los deseos, es un contrasentido. Estas personas no hacen lo que «quieren» sino lo que «pueden»; lo poco que pueden alcanzar entre los vaivenes y los tumbos que les produce la heterogénea mezcla de pensamientos que llevan en su interior. En el segundo ejemplo, es bien claro que no es la voluntad de la persona la que actúa, sino el pensamiento que la obsesiona. El gobierno del individuo está ejercido —dictatorialmente— por uno o varios pensamientos que forman un deseo, el cual instiga a los instintos hasta obligarlos a satisfacer las exigencias de los mismos.
Mientras el ser viva ajeno por completo a cuanto ocurre en su región mental y no conozca la clave mediante la cual pueda obtener un severo control sobre ella, no podrá jamás alegar que es dueño de sí mismo y, por tanto, no podrá pensar libremente.

Abstract
Critical illness is an uncommon but potentially devastating complication of pregnancy. The majority of pregnancy-related critical care admissions occur postpartum. Antenatally, the pregnant patient is more likely to be admitted with diseases non-specific to pregnancy, such as pneumonia. Pregnancy-specific diseases resulting in ICU admission include obstetric hemorrhage, pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome, amniotic fluid embolus syndrome, acute fatty liver of pregnancy, and peripartum cardiomyopathy. Alternatively, critical illness may result from pregnancy-induced worsening of pre-existing diseases (for example, valvular heart disease, myasthenia gravis, and kidney disease). Pregnancy can also predispose women to diseases seen in the non-pregnant population, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (for example, pneumonia and aspiration), sepsis (for example, chorioamnionitis and pyelonephritis) or pulmonary embolism. The pregnant patient may also develop conditions co-incidental to pregnancy such as trauma or appendicitis. Hemorrhage, particularly postpartum, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remain the most frequent indications for ICU admission. This review focuses on pregnancy-specific causes of critical illness. Management of the critically ill mother poses special challenges. The physiologic changes in pregnancy and the presence of a second, dependent, patient may necessitate adjustments to therapeutic and supportive strategies. The fetus is generally robust despite maternal illness, and therapeutically what is good for the mother is generally good for the fetus. For pregnancy-induced critical illnesses, delivery of the fetus helps resolve the disease process. Prognosis following pregnancy-related critical illness is generally better than for age-matched non-pregnant critically ill patients.

Miocardiopatía periparto Miocardiopatía periparto Diego Felipe Polanía Ardila, Solón Navarrete Hurtado, Edgar Mariano Acuña Osorio, Rafael Alberto Álvarez Rosero. Rev Insuf Cardíaca 2009; (Vol 4) 4:177-183  La miocardiopatía periparto no es una patología frecuente; sin embargo, presenta una alta tasa de mortalidad, elevándose aún más cuando el diagnóstico y el tratamiento no se realizan en forma temprana1,2. Las primeras descripciones de la entidad se realizaron alrededor de la década de 1870, cuando Virchow y Porack describieron un proceso de degeneración miocárdica en pacientes quienes fallecieron en el período postparto. Sin embargo, no fue sino hasta el año 1973 cuando se describe que la causa de la falla cardíaca en las pacientes con estas características se debía a una cardiopatía dilatada, diferente de la cardiopatía generada por el estrés del embarazo. Desde ese momento, se reconoce a la miocardiopatía periparto como una entidad distinta del resto de las cardiomiopatías. El propósito de esta revisión es principalmente realizar una descripción de los mecanismos involucrados en la fisiopatología, las manifestaciones clínicas, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la enfermedad. http://www.scielo.org.ar/pdf/ic/v4n4/v4n4a06.pdf   Cardiomiopatía periparto: experiencia en un centro terciario Asiático  Peripartum cardiomyopathy: experience in an Asian tertiary centre.

Abstract Introduction: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare but life-threatening condition. We report 11 patients admitted to the National Heart Centre Singapore with a diagnosis of PPCM over a period of 14 months. Methods: Baseline demographics, pregnancy history, haematology, serum biochemistry and echocardiographic findings of women admitted with a diagnosis of PPCM were analysed. Results: The incidence of PPCM was 0.89 per 1,000 live births in our cohort. 63.6% of the patients were Malay and 27.3% were Chinese. 45.5% of the patients were smokers and 45.5% had a history of pregnancy-induced hypertension or preeclampsia. There was no maternal mortality. Mean left ventricular ejection fractions at diagnosis and at six months were 26.9% ± 9.1% and 51.9% ± 10.6%, respectively. Mean left ventricular internal diameters in end-diastole at diagnosis and at six months were 5.5 ± 0.5 cm and 5.1 ± 0.6 cm, respectively. All patients were treated successfully for the acute episode and all but one patient had returned to New York Heart Association functional class I status at six months. Conclusion: PPCM remains a rare condition and appears to occur more commonly in Malay patients. Smoking and pregnancy-induced hypertension appear to be significant risk factors. While short-term outcome remains excellent, collaborative studies with other tertiary centres will help enhance our understanding of the long-term management of and clinical outcomes in these patients. http://www.sma.org.sg/UploadedImg/files/SMJ/5401/5401a1.pdf      Evolución favorable despues de cardiomiopatía periparto: estudios de 10 años sobre miocardiopatía periparto en un hospital universitario  Favourable outcome after peripartum cardiomyopathy: a ten-year study on peripartum cardiomyopathy in a university hospital. Chee KH. Department of Medicine, University of Malaya, Lembah Pantai, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. cheekh@um.edu.my. Singapore Med J. 2013 Jan;54(1):28-31. Abstract Introduction: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an uncommon form of congestive heart failure, affecting obstetric patients around the time of delivery. The epidemiology of PPCM is infrequently reported. This study was undertaken to define the prevalence, presentation and outcome of PPCM among women giving birth in a teaching hospital in Malaysia. Methods: A retrospective case record analysis was conducted on all patients admitted and diagnosed with PPCM at the University Malaya Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2009. All deliveries were undertaken in the same hospital. Results: A total of 12 patients were diagnosed with PPCM during the ten-year study period. The prevalence of PPCM was 2.48 in 100,000 (1 in 40,322) live births. Nine women were diagnosed with PPCM within five months of delivery. Three women had twin pregnancies. There was one death in the group (mortality rate 8.3%). The mean left ventricular ejection fraction at the time of diagnosis was 28.9% ± 8.5% (range 15%-40%). Following the index event, left ventricular function normalised in six of the nine patients (66.7%) who underwent subsequent echocardiography one year later. All patients were treated with standard heart failure therapy. Two patients with normalised left ventricular function had subsequent pregnancies - one pregnancy was terminated at seven weeks and the other patient delivered uneventfully at full term. Conclusion: PPCM is uncommon. The outcome in our series was favourable, with 66.7% of patients with PPCM recovering their left ventricular function. The mortality rate was 8.3%. http://www.sma.org.sg/UploadedImg/files/SMJ/5401/5401a2.pdf  Atentamente Anestesiología y Medicina del Dolor www.anestesia-dolor.org

QUINUA 2 VECES POR SEMANA

Profesionales de la Salud

http://www.profesionalesdelasalud.com.pe/articulos.php?IDcat=6&IDscat=0&IDprod=21

Por su alto valor nutritivo, al concentrar una importante cantidad de proteínas de tipo vegetal, con excelente calidad de aminoácidos esenciales y por ser de fácil digestión, especialistas del Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS) recomendaron consumir quinua una a dos veces por semana, sobre todo los niños y los adultos mayores.

Antonio Castillo, nutricionista del INS y miembro alterno del Minsa ante la Comisión Multisectorial de Naturaleza Temporal "Año Internacional de la Quinua 2013”, sostuvo que la versatilidad de este cultivo peruano para ser cocido permite que se pueda preparar en guisos, sopas, desayunos, entradas, platos de fondo, o para acompañar  algunas carnes como pollo, pavita, pescado, entre otros.

Indicó que este cereal tiene más proteínas (13.6%) que el arroz (7.8%) y el trigo (10.3%), sin que estos alimentos dejen de ser importantes en una alimentación balanceada; pero debido a su gran contenido proteico, la quinua fortalece mejor el organismo de las personas.

Con respecto a la grasa contenida en este alimento, Antonio Castillo precisó que es de nivel bajo (apenas 5%), y de este porcentaje la mitad contiene ácido linoleico, esencial para la dieta humana.

“La quinua también es una buena fuente de almidón, fibra, minerales y vitaminas; destacando entre los minerales el calcio y fósforo; y entre las vitaminas, son mayores las del complejo B”, subrayó.

En el caso de los niños y niñas, los beneficios nutricionales de la quinua son fundamentales por la cantidad de proteínas de tipo vegetal y la calidad de aminoácidos esenciales en una buena elección para la alimentación infantil, comentó el experto.

Castillo explicó que es una buena opción para la alimentación de los adultos mayores porque les proporciona proteínas, una buena fuente energética y de fibra, a la que se le atribuye la cualidad de prevenir enfermedades degenerativas (cardiovasculares, diabetes, cáncer de colon, entre otros). Además de  ser  de fácil digestión y no dificulta la masticación.

El 20 de febrero se realizará el lanzamiento mundial del Año Internacional de la Quinua en la sede central de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, donde participará la Primera Dama de la Nación Nadine Heredia, quien recibirá oficialmente el título de Embajadora Especial de la FAO para el Año Internacional de la Quinua.

Recetario 

El Ministerio de Salud a través del Instituto Nacional de Salud ha elaborado el Recetario de la Quinua, que contiene recetas nutritivas, económicas y saludables elaboradas en base a este milenario cereal.

Citó, por ejemplo, el tamal de quinua, quinua a la huancaína con papa, quinua a la princesa con sangrecita, quinotto de quinua con carne guisada, quinua con pota saltada, guiso de quinua con riñón, chaufa de quinua con sangrecita de pollo, torrejas de quinua, tacu tacu de quinua, entre otros.

¿QUE ES LA COXARTROSIS?

La cadera, es una de las articulaciones mas grandes y poderosas del cuerpo, está sometida a enormes esfuerzos de carga y movimiento prácticamente desde el nacimiento hasta la muerte. Precisamente por ésta situación, es que puede presentar una serie de alteraciones que provocan dolor, cojera y dificultad para caminar o movilizarse.
