Las migraciones y su impacto en la salud pública
Enrique Santiago López-Loyo
El fenómeno migratorio ha sido descrito desde tiempos inmemoriales, se registran las descripciones bíblicas de desplazamientos forzados de poblaciones enteras, hasta los fenómenos inducidos en tiempos de guerra y crisis socio-políticas y económicas como la ocurrida en nuestro propio país. La Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) define la migración como el cambio de residencia que implica el traspaso de algún límite geográfico o administrativo debidamente definido, estableciendo que si el límite que se cruza es de carácter internacional o que implica frontera entre países, la migración pasa a denominarse “migración internacional” y si este límite corresponde a algún tipo de demarcación dentro de un país la migración se denomina como “migración interna”

Variables consist of early breastfeeding; exclusive breastfeeding; complementary feeding; infectious disease; socio-economic; parenting style; and environmental sanitation. All variables were measured through a survey using a questionnaire. Result: The bivariate statistical test using the Chi-Square test proved that all factors had a statistically significant p-value <0.05, meaning all variables significantly affected the incidence of partial malnutrition.
Histological Liver Changes in Experimental Obstructive Cholestasis with Partial Outflow Restoration
Ivan Mamontov, Tamara Tamm, Ihor Ivakhno, Viacheslav Panasenko, Volodymyr Padalko, Valentyn Nepomniashchy, Alina Yaroshenko
Objective: This work aimed to establish histological changes in the structure and activity of the liver caused by experimental obstructive cholestasis. Method: Several methodological approaches were used such as experimental, biochemical, and comparison were applied.Results: It was possible to describe the essence of such a disease as cholestasis and its impact on the liver. At the same time, it was proved that recanalization with incomplete recovery of bile outflow was possible due to the normalization of the total bilirubin (TB) level. Morphological changes in the liver were most pronounced during acute cholangitis. The study examined what processes occur in the body during the recovery of bile flow, including after the complete blockage of such organs as the liver and bile ducts. Consequently, signs that expressed the abnormality of the liver structure of animals were revealed.
Imaging and Pathological Features and Recurrence Causes of Cystic Meningioma
Jiang Long
Objective: This study aims to establish preoperative imaging features, establish how they are correlating with post-operative pathological features, and discover the causes of recurrence. Results: Data on imaging procedures in the preoperative period, records of surgical operations, and reports from pathology conclusions were collected. Among 623 patients who were undergoing neurosurgery resection of intracranial meningioma, 24 cases of cystic meningioma were identified, corresponding to a world incidence of 3.8 %. The hemispheric convexity was the most frequent place of localization. The apparent diffusional coefficient was significantly lower in grade 2 and grade 3 tumors if compared to grade 1. Full resection of the cystic component was possible in 18/24 cases. Partial resection in 3/24 cases. In 2/24 cases, it was not possible to make total or partial resection, but multiple biopsies were performed from the cystic walls.

Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente femenina de 22 años quien durante 5 años tuvo movimientos anormales e involuntarios y un único episodio de alteración del estado de consciencia. Mediante estudios imagenológicos, histopatológicos e hibridación fluorescente in situ (FISH) se diagnostica oligodendroglioma con mutación de isocitrato deshidrogenasa (IDH) y co-deleción 1p19q. Se realizó craneotomía parcial y radioterapia adyuvante. La nueva clasificación de la OMS permite una terapia orientada y resultados clínicos favorables.
Treatment of Skin Oncological Disease Using an Immunosuppressive Medication
Ingmars Mikazans, Ilona Hartmane, Mihails Scerbuks, Iveta Ivdra, Ieva Saulite, Vanda Bondare-Ansberga, Artis Lapsins
Skin cancer or non-melanoma malignant formations, as well as melanomas, are recorded in more than 2-3 million people every year. The most important cause of the occurrence of this disease is the effect of UV radiation on damaged areas of the skin, birthmarks, or sensitive skin (light, capable of burning). Dermatoscopy is one of the most important methods for determining the stage of tumor development, and the simplest method of treatment in the initial stages is the use of immunosuppressive agents that reduce the work of the immune system by preventing the formation of antibodies.

Conclusión: El uso de GelPOINT® Path fue la alternativa más adecuada, debido a que no se podía resecar endoscópicamente debido a la posición, el tamaño y riesgo quirúrgico y anatomopatológico.
PERSPECTIVAS
Aspectos Bioéticos en la Enseñanza de la Anatomía Humana
José Ramón Urdaneta, Sandra Bucarey Arriagada, Gonzalo Tiznado-Matzner
La Anatomía Humana es una disciplina fundamental para los estudiantes de ciencias de la salud, generalmente, presente en los primeros semestres de la malla curricular. A lo largo de su historia, su aprendizaje se ha basado en la disección y prosección de cadáveres humanos o sus partes, por lo que amerita orientar su enseñanza desde un enfoque bioético; donde aspectos como la dignidad póstuma, procura y donación de cuerpos, gestión del cadáver, adaptación cultural apropiada, consideración de avances tecnológicos sin deshumanización o la prevención de prácticas ilícitas, deben ser considerados por los docentes. Es por ello que, se propuso realizar una revisión narrativa, con el objetivo de analizar el marco biojurídico y las consideraciones e implicaciones bioéticas en la enseñanza de la Anatomía Humana en países sudamericanos como Brasil, Chile, Colombia y Venezuela.
El Síndrome de la Nariz Sin Límites. Una Amenaza Otorrinolaringológica Encubierta de Iatrogénesis y Malapraxis
Aderito De Sousa Fontes, María José Zamora Santil
Una amplia diversidad de alteraciones de la nariz y senos paranasales (SPN) pueden ser susceptibles de tratamiento quirúrgico, cuando falla la terapia médica máxima o cuando el objetivo es generar un cambio estético o cosmético en un paciente. Los riesgos de resultados adversos de una cirugía electiva de este tipo pueden ser notables y altamente probables, más aún cuando la decisión de operar no ha sido valorada previamente de manera rigurosa. Este escenario se vuelve aún más preocupante, con el ofrecimiento publicitario desenfrenado y sin escrúpulos, de tratamientos falsos y poco claros, que son una amenaza encubierta de iatrogénesis y malapraxis otorrinolaringológica y que están asociados a una variedad de manifestaciones clínicas intolerables y a menudo irreversibles para la salud física y mental del paciente, que terminan desencadenando un nuevo trastorno en los tiempos actuales, que hemos querido denominar como el “Síndrome de la nariz sin límites”.
Aspectos Bioéticos de la Publicidad Médica en Medios Digitales y Redes Sociales
José Ramón Urdaneta, Nasser Baabel Zambrano
La publicidad médica en medios digitales y redes sociales es una realidad cada vez más prominente en la sociedad actual y si bien esta forma de publicidad puede tener ventajas en términos de accesibilidad y alcance, también plantea importantes desafíos y cuestiones éticas que merecen reflexión. Por tanto, la presente revisión narrativa pretende caracterizar la publicidad médica en medios digitales y redes sociales, analizando los principales aspectos éticos que involucra la propaganda y publicidad de los médicos en estos nuevos escenarios; con el propósito de propiciar una reflexión en la comunidad médica para el uso óptimo de estas nuevas herramientas sin caer en dilemas éticos ni en acciones que propicien la deshumanización de la medicina.

-La Gaceta Médica de Caracas hace 100, 50, 25 años. Enrique Santiago López-Loyo
Hace 100 años: Octubre – Diciembre 1923. El 15 de octubre de 1923 se publica el número 19 del año. Identificamos una interesante revisión a cargo del Dr. A. Herrera Vegas titulado “La peptonoterapia en la Jaqueca”. Inicia desmitificando la banalidad de la jaqueca como entidad clínica. La divide en jaqueca simple y jaqueca oftálmica u oftalmopléjica. La simple es la de menor intensidad sin ninguna complicación.
Hace 50 años: Octubre – Diciembre 1973. Nos centramos en la reseña de los números 11 y 13 del año 1973. En este número observamos la publicación de “Un caso de Schwannoma de la laringe”. Este trabajo presenta como primer autor al Dr. Franz Conde Jahn. Tomando en cuenta se trata de una rara localización, se recuerda que fue en 1925 cuando se publicó el primer registro a cargo de un Otorrinolaringólogo alemán.
Hace 25 años: Octubre – Diciembre 1998. En el volumen 106 de la Gaceta Medica de Caracas de 1998 encontramos una interesante investigación sobre “Infección vaginal por el virus del papiloma humano (VPH)” publicada por los Drs. Rosara Milgrom, Teresa Fuenmayor y Francisco Rincón, entre otros. Estudiaron 25 mujeres con lesiones papilares de la vagina en el Hospital Carlos J. Bello de la Cruz Roja Venezolana entre 1996 y 1997.
