RESUMEN

Introducción: En Panamá el embarazo adolescente es un importante problema de salud pública, más que por sus cifras, por sus repercusiones biopsicosociales. Objetivo: Conocer las motivaciones y razones que llevan a una adolescente a convertirse en madre. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo. La muestra fue 204 adolescentes. Se utilizó cuestionario estructurado-tipo entrevista. Resultados: La edad media fue de 17.6 años. El 72.1% tiene madre/hermana con antecedentes de embarazo adolescente. El 57.4% atribuye su embarazo a la falta de control de los impulsos. El 30.4% revela que su embarazo fue deseado. El 38.2% de estos embarazos corresponden a sentimientos de invulnerabilidad frente al embarazo; 15.7% a una baja autoestima. Las razones del embarazo ligada a los anticonceptivos son las siguientes: 33.4% miedo a usarlo; 25% falta de conocimiento; 22.5% falta de dinero; 11.3% sentimientos de vergüenza al solicitarlo. Conclusiones: La copia de un patrón reproductivo intergeneracional se constituyó en la principal razón del embarazo. El deseo de maternidad para dar sentido a la vida, fue una de las más señaladas. Dentro de los embarazos no deseados, más de la mitad señaló la falta de control de los impulsos. Las razones de índole familiar, como escapar a los problemas del hogar, fueron los menos señalados.

Introduction: In Panama, adolescent pregnancy is an important public health problem, more than because of its numbers, because of its biopsychosocial repercussions. Objective: To determine the motivations and reasons that lead an adolescent to become a mother. Methods: Descriptive study. The sample consisted of 204 adolescents. A structured interview-type questionnaire was used. Results: The mean age was 17.6 years. The 72.1% had a mother/sister with a history of adolescent pregnancy. The 57.4% attributed their pregnancy to lack of impulse control. 30.4% disclose that their pregnancy was wanted. 38.2% of these pregnancies correspond to feelings of invulnerability to pregnancy; 15.7% to low self-esteem.The reasons for pregnancy linked to contraceptives are as follows: 33.4% fear of using it; 25% lack of knowledge; 22.5% lack of money; 11.3% feelings of embarrassment when requesting it. Conclusions: Copying an intergenerational reproductive pattern was constituted as the main reason for pregnancy. The desire for motherhood to give meaning to life was one of the most frequently mentioned. Among unwanted pregnancies, more than half pointed to lack of impulse control.Family reasons, such as escaping from problems at home, were the least reported. (provided by Infomedic International)

RESUMEN

Introducción: El cáncer en el año 2020 provoco 1,4 millones de muertes, el 47% en personas menores de 65 años de edad,la neutropenia febril en el paciente oncológico aumenta los casos de infecciones graves, incrementando la morbimortalidad cuando no se ha empezado un tratamiento de oportuno. El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir una población con esta patología en un centro de referencia regional. Metodología: Este estudio transversal, se realizó en el Instituto Oncológico Nacional "Dr. Juan Tanca Marengo", Sociedad de Lucha contra el Cáncer, Solca Guayaquil, período enero 2020-junio 2021, con una muestra no probabilística, de pacientes con neoplasias, neutropenias y cultivos positivos. Se registraron variables demográficas, clínicas, de laboratorio. Se utiliza estadística descriptiva invariada. Resultados: Se analizan 126casos, de edad promedio 55 años, el 50.8% fue de sexo femenino; el 88.1 % ingresó con neutropenia febril; la estancia hospitalaria promedio fue de 7 días. La Escherichia coli fue el microorganismo más frecuente con el 17.5 %, seguido por Klebsiella neumonía en el 9.5 %, Enterobacteria aerógenas y Pseudomonas eruginosa en el 4.8 %. El 70.2 % de las bacterias aisladas presentó resistencia bacteriana, el 47 % fueron bacterias betalactamasa de espectro ampliado (BLEA), el 40 % fue betalactamasa de espectro extendido (BLEE), y el 5 % productor de carbapenémicas (KPC), el 57.5 % con resistencia bacteriana tuvo una estancia hospitalaria mayor a 7 días Conclusión: El principal microorganismo fue Escherichia coli y la resistencia mayormente la tuvieron las bacterias betalactamasa de espectro ampliado positiva; permitiendo conocer la epidemiología local del perfil microbiológico y su relación con los pacientes oncológicos con neutropenia febril

In troduction:Cancer in 2020 caused 1.4 million deaths, 47% in people under 65 years of age, febrile neu-tropenia in cancer patientsincreases cases of serious infections, increasing morbidity and mortality when Timely treatment has not been started. The objective of the present study was to describe a pop-ulation with this pathology in a regional reference center.Met hodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the National Oncology Institute "Dr. Juan Tanca Marengo," Society for the Fight Against Cancer, Solca-Guayaquil, period January 2020-June 2021, with a non-probabilistic sample of patients with neoplasms, neutropenia, and positive cultures. Demo-graphic, clinical, and laboratory variables were recorded. Univariate descriptive statistics are used.R esults: 126 cases were analyzed, with an average age of 55 years; 50.8% were female; 88.1% were admitted with febrile neutropenia; the average hospital stay was seven days. Escherichia coli was the most frequent microorganism with 17.5%, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae in 9.5%, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Pseudomonas aureginosa in 4.8%. 70.2% of the isolated bacteria presented bacterial resistance, 47% were extendedspectrum beta-lactamase bacteria (ESBL), 40% were extended-spectrum betalactamase (ESBL), and 5% produced carbapenemases (KPC), 57.5% with bacterial resistance had a hospital stay greater than seven days.C o nclusion: The main microorganism was Escherichia coli, and resistance was primarily found in ex-tended-spectrum beta-lactamase-positive bacteria, allowing us to know the local epidemiology of the microbiological profile and its relationship with cancer patients with febrile neutropenia

RESUMEN

Las mujeres indígenas en toda América Latina, incluyendo Panamá, presentan condiciones de inequidad en lo que se refiere a la salud sexual y reproductiva. La fecundidad elevada, el alto índice de embarazo adolescente, y la falta de una adecuada atención y asistencia a la salud materna, son evidencia de esto. Las altas tasas de mortalidad materna están relacionadas con falta de cobertura de los servicios de salud sexual y reproductiva...

RESUMEN

M. hyorhinis is considered one of the etiological agents of arthritis in sucking pigs, but recently as seen, some strains can produce pneumonia that could not be distinguished from the mycoplasmosis caused by M. hyopneumoniae. The study was conducted to research the presence of Mycoplasma hyorhinis (M. hyorhinis ) in different regions of the country from exudates of pig lungs with typical EP lesions. Exudates from 280 pig lungs with typical EP lesions were studied using molecular techniques such as PCR, real time PCR and amplification of the 16S-23S rRNA. It was detected that the 66 percent of the samples studied resulted positive to M. hyorhinis, and the presence of this species was detected in all the provinces. Amplification and studies on the intergenic region 16S-23S of M. hyorhinis rRNA demonstrated the existing variability among strains of a same species. This study is the first report on M. hyorhinis detection in Cuba.

RESUMEN

Objetivo: Determinar los factores asociados al embarazo adolescente, en el Hospital Santo Tomás, Panama del 2001 al 2007. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo de embarazos atendidos del 2001 al 2007 registrados en la base de datos del Sistema Informático Perinatal. Se compararon las embarazadas adultas con las adolescentes y sus productos durante este periodo Se utilizó el Sistema Informático Perinatal versión 1.4 para el análisis de información. Resultados: Se registraron 91944 embarazadas de las cuales 21495 (23.38%) fueron adolescentes, divididas en dos sub-grupos, de 10-14 años 785 (3.65%) y de 15-19 años 20710 (96.35%). El grupo control fue conformado por las pacientes de 20-34 años. Las pacientes adolescentes presentaron un menor control prenatal antes de las 20 semanas, 10-14 años (48.07%) y 15-19 años (56.47%) vs (60.75%) . También presentaron un menor porcentaje de abortos (10.72%) vs (12.84%), así como un menor porcentaje de primera cesárea, 10-14 años (15.64%) y 15-19 años (13.81%) vs (17.87%). Se encontró un mayor riesgo en partos prematuros por FUM en 10-14 años ( 22.3%) vs (14%) y producto con Bajo Peso al Nacer en 10-14 años (20.07%) vs (10.84%) Conclusiones: Las adolescentes embarazadas en este grupo estudiado no impresionan representar un mayor riesgo para la salud materna o para abortos y tienen menor riesgo de cesárea. En las madres con 10-14 años existe un riesgo mayor de productos con bajo peso al nacer, prematurez y menor valor APGAR. Las pacientes entre 15-19 años no representan un mayor riesgo obstétrico.

Objetives: Determine factors associated with adolescent pregnancies in the Hospital Santo Tomás, Panamá from 2001 to 2007. Material and methods: A retrospective and descriptive study of pregnancies attended during the years 2001 to 2007 that were recorded in the Perinatal Information System database. We compared pregnant adolescents with pregnant adults and their products. Adolescents were divided in two sub-groups, 10-14 years and 15-19 years, Analysis of the information was made using the Perinatal Information System version 1.4. Results: 91944 pregnancies were recorded, of which 21495 (23.38%) were adolescents, range from 10-14 years 785 (3.65%) and from 15-19 years 20710 (96.35%). Adolescent pregnant were found to receive less prenatal care before 20 weeks gestation, 10-14 year (48.07%) and 15-19 years (56.64%), than the control group (60.75%). Less percentage of abortions (10.72%) vs ( 12.84%), and less percentage of first time cesarean sections, 10-14 years (15.64%) and 15-19 years (13.81%) vs (17.87%). There was a increased risk for patients with 10-14 years for premature deliveries ( Measured by Last Menstrual Period) (22.03%) vs (14%) ad for Low Birth Weight (20.07%) vs (10.84%). Conclusions: Being an adolescent mother doesn't imply a higher risk for the mothers health or a higher risk for abortion and it has been demonstrate that they have fewer cesarean sections. Adolescent mothers with ages between 10-14 years have a higher risk of having a preterm delivery, low birth product and products with lower APGAR score.
