Efficacy of pharmacological treatment for closure of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm newborns: a systematic review
No full textIntroduction: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) represents a relevant clinical problem due to its hemodynamic implications, especially in premature newborns, which has motivated multiple studies on its management. Currently, pharmacological treatment is one way to solve this problem, but there is no clear consensus as to which treatment is the most effective and least risky. Objective: The aim of this study was to find the drug with the highest rate of efficacy in PDA closure and with the least adverse effects. Methods: A descriptive systematic review was carried out following PRISMA guidelines. The search was carried out in SCOPUS, PUBMED, SCIELO, COCHRANE and LILACS databases. Results: After applying certain inclusion criteria, we obtained a total of 20 studies, most of which were systematic reviews and cohort studies. Among the studies reviewed, drugs such as indomethacin, ibuprofen, paracetamol and betamethasone have been used, finding that among the first three there is no statistically significant difference in efficacy. Closure rates and adverse effects vary considerably in the different studies, depending on factors such as dose, route of administration and gestational age of the neonate. Conclusions: The studies reviewed show that both ibuprofen and indomethacin have similar efficacy in PDA closure in preterm infants. Indomethacin is associated with higher risks of adverse effects. Acetaminophen appears to be a safe and effective alternative, with a superior safety profile compared to NSAIDs
McCune-Albright syndrome case report
No full textIntroduction: McCune Albright syndrome (SMA) is considered a rare genetic disease, characterized by bone dysplasia, endocrine disorders and hyperpigmentary skin lesions. In SMA, postzygotic somatic mutations occur in the Gs protein gene (GNAS1) and an increase in cAMP, modifying the formation of osteoblasts and increasing bone resorption by osteoclasts, denying the hereditary nature of this disease and the possibility of rapid bone consolidation.Objective: To point out the need to deepen the knowledge of the disease for early detection and multidisciplinary care in order to avoid the consequences.Method: Retrospective observational study of the clinical history of a patient treated in the orthopedic service of the San Isidro General Hospital in Tocoa, Honduras.Results: A 13-year-old patient was admitted to the orthopedic service due to a pathological fracture of the right humerus, in which lytic lesions were observed in the humerus, radius, femur and tibia on the same side, as well as varus deformity of the right hip; café-au-lait spots on the chest and abdomen that did not respect the midline; Tanner 4 breast and pubic bone, vaginal bleeding at 3 months of age, hyperthyroidism and microprolactinoma; pathological fractures of the neck of the femur and right tibia on two occasions at 3 years of age and surgery at 6 years of age. It is interesting to note that the patient's mother had café-au-lait spots on the dorsal region. Plaster treatment of the humerus fracture was performed, achieving bone consolidation at 10 weeks.The asymmetric appearance of the spots in the patient and the rapid bone consolidation are rare clinical aspects of the syndrome. The irregular treatment of her illness and its complications generated sequelae in the patient, which limited her quality of life, highlighting the need for early detection of the disease and multidisciplinary care

Perspectivas del cuidado: estrategias y sentidos en organizaciones socio religiosas
No full textIn the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, which includes the peripheral area of the city of Buenos Aires, socio-religious organizations represent a relevant presence for the community. Many of them are engaged in activities related to early childhood care and in addressing problematic substance use among young people. Some of these organizations, especially Catholic ones, act as mediators of state programs.
This paper aims to comparatively investigate the activities, the meanings of care, the work strategies and the relationships with the State at national, provincial and/or municipal level of the socio-religious, evangelical and Catholic organizations that intervene in the problems of consumption in the district of Moreno, in the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina), in 2023.
From a qualitative perspective, we work in a multiple case study. In this first approach, we propose to recover and approach these cases from the perspectives of the main referents of the organizations analyzed. An in-depth interview is conducted with the referent of each organization. In addition, the interviews are complemented with participant observation techniques and document review, in order to obtain a broader and more enriching perspective of the practices and activities of these organizations.
The results show that these organizations present differences in practices and meanings of care, despite the fact that they address the problem of drug use in the same territory and in similar social sectors.
En el conurbano bonaerense, que comprende la zona periférica de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, las organizaciones socio religiosas representan una presencia relevante para la comunidad.

La evolución de las políticas de justicia en los Planes Nacionales de Desarrollo
No full textThe research analyzes the continuity or discontinuity of the policies of access to justice, the digital transformation of justice, and criminal policy from the first government of Álvaro Uribe to the present, within the framework of the national development plans. The above, in order to determine which policy proposals have been prioritized by these governments to overcome the problems related to the guarantee of the related fundamental rights. The findings show that there are multiple initiatives that have been sustained during the period analyzed, such as conflict resolution methods, the justice houses program, the concept of unmet legal needs, the territorial approach, the Ten-Year Justice System Plan, the justice map, the family police stations, the digital file, prison treatment, and resocialization measures. However, the rest of the actions have been interrupted or not discontinued in the formulation of the NDPs. It is shown, in turn, that Colombia needs more room for innovation in the design of solutions, as practically the same approach to solutions is evident throughout the period under investigation.La investigación analiza la continuidad o discontinuidad de las políticas de acceso a la justicia, la transformación digital a la justicia y la política criminal desde el primer gobierno de Álvaro Uribe hasta la actualidad, en el marco de los planes nacionales de desarrollo. Lo anterior, en aras de determinar cuáles han sido las apuestas de política que han priorizado dichos gobiernos para superar los problemas relacionados con la garantía de los derechos fundamentales relacionados. Los hallazgos demuestran que existen múltiples iniciativas que se han sostenido durante el periodo analizado, tales como los métodos de resolución de conflictos, el programa de casas de justicia, el concepto de necesidades jurídicas insatisfechas, el enfoque territorial, el Plan Decenal del Sistema de Justicia, el mapa de justicia, las comisarías de familia, el expediente digital, el tratamiento penitenciario y las medidas de resocialización. Sin embargo, el resto de las acciones han sido interrumpidas o no discontinuadas en la formulación de los PND. Se muestra, a su vez, que en Colombia se requiere mayor espacio para la innovación en el diseño de soluciones, al encontrarse prácticamente un mismo abordaje de soluciones durante todo el periodo investigado
