The pathologies caused by microbial groups generate health risks in domestic dogs and cats; showing a zoonotic potential and producing affections in humans. According to that background, the purpose of this study was to establish the main microorganisms causing clinical pathologies in domestic dogs and cats by reviewing medical records in a veterinary clinic in Valledupar, Colombia. In order to do that, a retrospective study was conducted with clinical histories of dogs and cats admitted during 2017 and 2018 to the veterinary clinic “Mis Mejores Amigos”. Based on the information, a descriptive, explanatory and statistical analysis was applied, the latter by means of a Sperman correlation to evaluate the relationship between race, sex, age, microbial group and pathology-pathogen. From a total of 462 reports of canines and felines admitted to the clinic, a total of 273 diagnoses were obtained. 4% of the felines and 24% of the canines were affected by some microbial group. The most prevalent microorganisms in canines were Ancylostoma spp. (9 %) Entamoeba histolytica (5%) Ehrlichia spp. (5%), and Isospora sp. (5%) while in felines were Haemobartonella felis (20%) and Haemobartonella spp. (17%). It was determined that there is only correlation between the age of felines and the microbial group that affects them, in addition to the pathology presented with the pathogen. It was observed a high percentage of Ancylostoma sp. (9%) in canines of mongrel and French Poodle breeds whilst in felines was found the bacterium Haemobartonella felis in 20% of the mongrel breeds.

Objective.To determine the association between fasciitis and the clinical variables in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM).Methods.We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 32 patients (24 DM, 8 PM) with newly diagnosed DM and PM and in whom fascia and muscle specimens were histopathologically examined. The relationship between fasciitis and the clinical variables was statistically analyzed. These included age, sex, myalgia, muscle weakness, creatine kinase (CK) and aldolase activities, anti-Jo1 antibody, interstitial lung disease, and malignancy.Results.Twenty (62.5%) of the 32 patients who underwent the histopathological examination of a fascia specimen had fasciitis, including 18 (75%) of 24 patients with DM and 2 (25%) of 8 patients with PM. The frequency of fasciitis was significantly higher among the patients with DM than among the patients with PM (p < 0.05). Histopathologically, fasciitis in PM was very mild in comparison to that in DM. The frequency of myalgia in patients with fasciitis was significantly higher than that in patients without fasciitis (p < 0.05). However, myalgia was not associated with myositis. There were no significant differences in the patients with and without fasciitis in age, sex, manual muscle test 8 scores, CK or aldolase activities, or the presence of anti-Jo1 antibodies and malignancy.Conclusion.The frequency of fasciitis was significantly higher among patients with DM than among those with PM. Fasciitis, rather than myositis, was associated with myalgia.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this work is to provide evidence for the relationship between suspicion and diagnosis of cases of child abuse and fractures, since, in national literature, studies are still scarce on the subject. Methods: Retrospective study involving electronic medical records of a public reference hospital, in a city of the state of São Paulo, in a 8-year period (2010 to 2018). Cases involving children up to 12 years of age were selected when notified as abuse and presenting fractures; data were statistically analyzed. Results: Among 83 cases of abuse, 19 patients (20.5%) had 23 different fractures. The victims were mainly boys (68.42%) with a mean age of 5 years old, who suffered physical aggression (79%). The majority had no identified aggressor (52%) and 21% were related to the mother. The fracture patterns found involved, mostly, skull fractures (43.48%) and diaphysary fractures (34.78%). Seven patients (30.43%) had other associated lesions and four patients died (21%). Conclusion: Despite the number of cases, it was possible to identify relevant characteristics and patterns. These data indicate that the diagnosis is underestimated and show small epidemiological differences compared with international literature. Level of Evidence II, Retrospective study.

Objective: to study the relationship between hematocrit indicators during the first 6 hours after the patient's hospitalization and the development of complications of acute pancreatitis. Materials and methods. The study included 243 patients with acute pancreatitis. All patients were examined for hematocrit at admission. The multivariate analysis made it possible to determine whether there was a correlation between the presence of hemoconcentration in patients (hematocrit ≥43) at the time of admission with the development of complications of acute pancreatitis. The predictive effectiveness of this marker was estimated by the area under the ROC curve. Results. Severe acute pancreatitis was observed in 36 (14.8%) patients. Average hematocrit values were 43.2 ± 6.4% (P0,01). In the first 6 hours after admission, hemoconcentration was observed in 72.2% of patients with acute pancreatitis who later developed complications of this disease. Statistical analysis of the data obtained showed that the sensitivity of hemoconcentration for early diagnosis of acute pancreatitis complications is 0.722, and the specificity is 0.802. The positive predictive value was 0.388 and the negative predictive value was 0.943. Conclusions: the presence of hemoconcentration in patients with acute pancreatitis in the first 6 hours after hospitalization is undesirable to use for predicting complications of this pathology, since the independent positive prognostic significance of this marker is only 38.8%.

Abstract. Background: Congenital venous malformations are frequently treated with sclerotherapy. Primary treatment goal is to control the often size-related symptoms. Functional impairment and aesthetical aspects as well as satisfaction have rarely been evaluated. Patients and methods: Medical records of patients who underwent sclerotherapy of spongiform venous malformations were reviewed and included in this retrospective study. The outcome of sclerotherapy as self-reported by patients was assessed in a 21 item questionnaire. Results: Questionnaires were sent to 166 patients with a total of 327 procedures. Seventy-seven patients (48 %) with a total of 159 procedures (50 %) responded to the survey. Fifty-seven percent of patients were male. The age ranged from 1 to 38.1 years with a median age of 16.4 years. The lower extremities were the most common treated area. Limitations caused by the venous malformation improved in the majority of patients (e.g. pain improvement 87 %, improvement of swelling 83 %) but also worsening of symptoms occurred in a minority of cases. Seventy-seven per cent would undergo sclerotherapy again. Conclusions: Sclerotherapy for treatment of venous malformations results in significant reduction of symptoms. Multiple treatments are often needed, but patients are willing to undergo them.

Introduction: The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the radiographic peri-implant bone loss of bone level implants and tissue level implants with a convergent neck in screw-retained single crowns and in screw-retained fixed partial prostheses, after two years of functional loading. Materials and methods: The sample was divided into two groups according to their type: Group I: supracrestal implants with convergent transmucosal neck; Group II: crestal implants. In each group we distinguish two subgroups according to the type of prosthetic restoration: single crowns and a three-piece fixed partial prosthesis on two implants. To quantify bone loss, parallelized periapical radiographs were analyzed at the time of implant placement and after two years of functional load. Results: A total of 120 implants were placed in 53 patients. After statistical analysis it was observed that for each type of implant bone loss was 0.97 ± 0.91 mm for bone level and 0.31 ± 0.48 mm for tissue level. No significant differences were found regarding the type of prosthesis and the location (maxilla or mandible) of the implants. Conclusions: Tissue level implants with a convergent transepithelial neck exhibit less peri-implant bone loss than bone level implants regardless of the type of prosthesis.

The Relationship

BMI-1 is a key component of stem cells, which are essential for normal organ development and cell phenotype maintenance. BMI-1 expression is deregulated in cancer, resulting in the alteration of chromatin and gene transcription repression. The cellular signaling pathway that governs BMI-1 action in the ovarian carcinogenesis sequences is incompletely deciphered. In this study, we set out to analyze the immunohistochemical (IHC) BMI-1 expression in two different groups: endometriosis-related ovarian carcinoma (EOC) and non-endometriotic ovarian carcinoma (NEOC), aiming to identify the differences in its tissue profile. Methods: BMI-1 IHC expression has been individually quantified in epithelial and in stromal components by using adapted scores systems. Statistical analysis was performed to analyze the relationship between BMI-1 epithelial and stromal profile in each group and between groups and its correlation with classical clinicopathological characteristics. Results: BMI-1 expression in epithelial tumor cells was mostly low or negative in the EOC group, and predominantly positive in the NEOC group. Moreover, the stromal BMI-1 expression was variable in the EOC group, whereas in the NEOC group, stromal BMI-1 expression was mainly strong. We noted statistically significant differences between the epithelial and stromal BMI-1 profiles in each group and between the two ovarian carcinoma (OC) groups. Conclusions: Our study provides solid evidence for a different BMI-1 expression in EOC and NEOC, corresponding to the differences in their etiopathogeny. The reported differences in the BMI-1 expression of EOC and NEOC need to be further validated in a larger and homogenous cohort of study.
