RESUMEN

Resumen: Los datos preliminares confirman el impacto psicológico que la crisis por COVID-19 está provocando en niños y adolescentes de población comunitaria. Se desconoce cómo afecta a la población infantil que sufre maltrato intrafamiliar. El objetivo del estudio fue examinar el impacto emocional adicional que supone la medida de confinamiento en menores de edad expuestos a violencia de pareja hacia la mujer que recibían atención psicológica en la Región de Murcia. Ciento ochenta y cinco madres informaron vía telefónica cómo el confinamiento afectó a 269 niños/as de entre 0 y 18 años. También los 108 menores que tenían 6 años o más, cumplimentaron el listado sobre su propio estado emocional. El incremento en la incidencia de alteraciones psicológicas en esta población ha sido baja (1.1-4.8%), si bien entre aquellos que aumentó la sintomatología predominaron la desorganización comportamental y la alteración emocional. Asimismo, se comprobó que algunas variables (sexo, edad, días de confinamiento, conflicto familiar) contribuyeron al incremento de desorganización comportamental y estrés traumático/depresión. Es preciso desarrollar más trabajos en esta línea por las implicaciones que se pueden derivar tanto a nivel de diagnóstico como de tratamiento.

Abstract: Preliminary data confirm the psychological impact that the COVID-19 crisis is causing in children and adolescents in the community population. It is unknown how it affects the child population who suffer intrafamilial abuse. The objective of the study was to examine the additional emotional impact of the measure of confinement in minors exposed to intimate partner violence towards women who received psychological attention in the Region of Murcia. One hundred and eighty-five mothers reported, by telephone comunication, how the confinement affected to 269 children between the ages of 0 and 18. Also the 108 minors who were 6 years old or older completed the list on their own emotional state. The incidence increasement of psychological disorders within this population has been low (1.1-4.8%), although among those with increased symptoms, behavioral disorganization and emotional disturbance was predominant. Likewise, it was found that some variables (sex, age, days of confinement, family conflict) contributed to increase the behavioral disorganization and traumatic stress/depression. It is necessary to develop more research in this line due to the derived implications both at diagnosis and treatment levels.

RESUMEN

The Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS), also known as hemifacial atrophy, is a rare neurocutaneous disease with the prevalence of 1/700,000 cases. It is more common in women than men, with an early onset of disease usually within the first two decades of life. Even though the etiology of PRS is unknown, it is thought to be a multifactorial disease that involves hereditary, posttraumatic, autoimmune, infectious, and neoplastic factors. There are a variety of systemic manifestations described in PRS including neurological conditions that range from intractable headache to refractory epilepsy. The manifestations must be identified in a timely manner to ensure an early therapeutic intervention, considering that an appropriate approach during the initial phase might halt the disease progression and markedly improve the quality of life in these patients. This article is aimed to describe the case of a 23 years old female with left hemifacial atrophy and dermatologic, dental, and neurologic compromise, associated with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy evidenced in neuroimaging and electrodiagnostic testings.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The antigenic extracts of bacterial vaccine (Staphylococcus aureus) they increase the phagocitosis, the immunoglobulins concentrations and they help in the immunologic response. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of the bacterial vaccine in patient pediatric with chronic sinusitis. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Through a prospective, observational, descriptive and logitudinal study 50 patients were studied with clinical and radiological diagnosis of chronic sinusitis in the period of May from 1997 to July of 1998; they talked to three outlines of antibiotics, they were made studies of cytology hematic, of snot, perspired pharyngeal and immunoglobulin determination and x-rays of breasts paranasals. The extract of 0.1 ml was applied twice up to 0.5 ml per week, subcutaneous trial during eight months, with pursuit of six months and control of cytology hematic, as well as immunoglobulin determination. RESULTS: 82% (41) of the patients they improved and nine (18%) they persisted with symptoms, of these five required the antimicrobials prescription, three tonsillectomi. There was an immunoglobulin increment, mainly of the IgA and IgG in 38 (76%) patient.

RESUMEN

There are few reports of severe mitral stenosis with normal pulmonary artery wedge pressure. In order to illustrate this problem we present two adult patients with these abnormalities. Both patients had intact interatrial septum with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, one to the inferior vena cava (The Scimitar Syndrome) and the other to the superior vena cava. In the first case the right pulmonary artery wedge pressure was 11 mm Hg. In the second case this pressure was only 8 mm Hg. Pulmonary arteriograms are of paramount importance in the diagnosis and surgical management. In both cases the surgical procedure with mitral commissurotomy and transplant of the anomalous pulmonary veins to the left atrium was successful.

RESUMEN

This article makes reference to the mental health Primary Prevention Program that is carried out at the "Yugoslavia Health Center", in Guadalajara City, in Mexico. It explains the origin and evolution of the program contents and its aim is to permit each one participating in the group dynamics--which are used as the work instrument--to discover himself as a bio-psico-social unit. The article mentions the theoretical-practical bases of the work and the place and method of carrying it out. From the results obtained one may conclude that it does not produce curative effects but it does provide support to the healthy areas of the personality and improves the interpersonal relationships.
