RESUMO
Functional beverages with added health benefits are popular among peoples and athletes because they help them recover faster from intense workouts and perform better overall. This research set out to determine how well heat-treated stem juice from Oxalis tuberosa Mol. "oca" and fruit juice from Gaultheria glomerata (Cav.) Sleumer "laqa-laqa" performed as an antioxidant in a functional drink. The "oca" stems and the "laqa-laqa" fruit were collected to obtain the juice. For this study, 30 semi-trained panellists used sensory evaluation to rate four treatments (Bo, B1, B2, and B3) with varying quantities of "oca" and "laqa-laqa" juice. The results concluded that the treatment B2, which included 300 ml of "oca" stem juice, 800 ml of "laqa-laqa" juice, 1000 ml of treated water, and 220 g of refined sugar, was given the highest score after a physicochemical evaluation of its colour, smell, taste, and overall appearance. Similarly, the results showed that the protein content increased by 1.38%, the fat content by 1.08%, the moisture percentage by 99.5%, the ash content by 1.82%, and the carbohydrate content by 6.22% after B2 treatment. Similarly, results revealed significant enhancement in antioxidant profiling such as total polyphenols: 1825 mg of gallic acid/100 g and antioxidant Activity: 89.56% µmol of trolox /100 g. In conclusion, due to its high energy content and antioxidant activity, it may be a viable nutritional option for athletes who engage in rigorous, frequent physical exertion.

Resumo As bebidas funcionais com benefícios adicionais à saúde são populares entre as pessoas e os atletas porque os ajudam a se recuperar mais rapidamente de exercícios intensos e a ter um desempenho geral melhor. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo determinar o quão beneficamente o suco do caule tratado termicamente de Oxalis tuberosa Mol. "oca" e o suco de fruta de Gaultheria glomerata (Cav.) Sleumer "laqa-laqa" atuaram como antioxidante em bebida funcional. Os caules da "oca" e os frutos da "laqa-laqa" foram coletados para a obtenção do suco. Para este estudo, 30 provadores semitreinados usaram a avaliação sensorial para avaliar quatro tratamentos (B0, B1, B2 e B3) com quantidades variadas de suco de "oca" e "laqa-laqa". Os resultados indicaram que o tratamento B2, que incluía 300 mL de suco de caule de "oca", 800 mL de suco de "laqa-laqa", 1.000 mL de água tratada e 220 g de açúcar refinado, obteve a maior pontuação após avaliação físico-química e avaliação de cor, cheiro, sabor e aparência geral. Da mesma forma, os resultados mostraram que o teor de proteína aumentou em 1,38%, o teor de gordura, em 1,08%, o percentual de umidade, em 99,5%, o teor de cinzas, em 1,82%, e o teor de carboidratos, em 6,22%, após o tratamento B2. Da mesma forma, os resultados revelaram aumento significativo no perfil antioxidante, como polifenóis totais: 1.825 mg de ácido gálico/100 g e atividade antioxidante de 89,56% μmol de trolox /100 g. Em conclusão, devido ao seu alto teor energético e à atividade antioxidante, pode ser uma opção nutricional viável para atletas que praticam esforço físico rigoroso e frequente.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: About half of patients with acute liver failure (ALF) show clinical signs of cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension. Neuroimaging diagnostics and electroencephalography have poor correlation with intracranial pressure measurement. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to characterize the cerebral hemodynamics patterns with transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography in patients with ALF. METHOD: We studied 21 patients diagnosed with ALF, admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at the Centro de Investigaciones Médico Quirúrgicas of Cuba. All of these patients had a TCD performed on arrival at ICU, evaluating the following: systolic (SV), diastolic (DV), and medium (MV) flows velocities and pulsatility index (PI) in right middle cerebral artery (RMCA) via temporal windows. RESULTS: The sonographic patterns of cerebral hemodynamics were as follows: low-flow, 12 patients (57.1%); high resistance, 5 patients (23.8%); and hyperemic, 4 patients (19%). Patients who died while waiting had lower MV RMCA (56.1 vs 58.1 cm/s) and higher PI (1.71 vs 1.41) than patients who could undergo transplantation (P = .800 and P = .787, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In patients diagnosed with ALF admitted to the ICU the predominating cerebral hemodynamic pattern was low-flow with resistance increase. The TCD was shown to be a useful tool in the initial evaluation for prognosis and treatment.

In the period of January of 1985 to January of 1995, 6 cases of massive hypertrophy of the mammary gland were diagnosed from 60,000 patients seen in the External Consultation of the Service of Gynecological Oncology. The age oscillated between 11 and 27 years old, with an average of 20.8 years. One case was unilateral and the 5 remaining, bilateral; 3 coexisted with pregnancy. The treatment consisted of reductive mammoplasty. This pathology is a rare entity, with not very well defined etiology in which apparently there are involved hormonals receptors and an unusual sensibility to hormones although they are at normal serum levels.

The carcinoma of the Fallopian tube is at the present time, one of the most rare gynecologic tumors, representing approximately less than 1% in world literature, being in our experience of 0.15%. We presented two cases of adenocarcinoma of the Fallopian tube, seen in a lapse of 25 years, not diagnosed preoperatorily with the clinical trial of abnormal bleeding, negative biopsy of endometrium and adnexal mass. As it is written in the literature, the diagnosis is rarely established previous to the operation and it usually corresponded to an adenocarcinoma. The classification of the FIGO for the stage is used. In relation to the survival follow-up: the stages I and II present 60% approximately of survival to the five years and it is suggested radiotherapy additional to the surgery; however, according to some authors this doesn't improve the survival.

Seventy one patients with abnormal cervical cytology, were submitted to electrosurgical resection of the transformation zone, as part of diagnostic and therapeutic protocol. The resection was done at the office, on ambulatory basis and with local anesthesia with an average of 10 for its realization. The obtained specimen was 2 x 2 cm in area, and depth of one cm. Morbidity was 9.8%, and considered lesser. Only 2.8% required hospitalization. Procedure acceptability by the patient was more than 95%. It is concluded that it offers diagnostic precision with a technique easily done, and that it may be a therapeutic alternative.

From March, 1987 to July 1990, 1,568 surgical procedures, were done at Oncological Gynecology Service; 206 of them (13.1%) were considered as "non-gynecological" surgical procedures; 182 (88.3%) were secondary to a malignity diagnosis, being the most frequent one ovarian carcinoma (54.4%). As to benign lesions, 11.7% caused "non gynecological" surgery, most frequent were severe pelvic adhesions, 41.6%, and severe endometriosis, 25%. "Non-gynecological" surgical procedure carried out most frequently was pelvic lymphadenectomy. Morbidity was 3.8%, and mortality, 0.48% due to acute myocardial infarction. The acceptance for oncologic gynecologist is justified in this series, based on survival and morbi-mortality, which permits the participation in a multidisciplinary team.

One hundred and fifty three patients with carcinoma of the cervix, stages IB and IIA, were treated with radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy, during the period from October 1978 to December, 1989; 85.6% were at stages IB and 14.4% at IIA. The most frequent histological type was the epidermoid one in 91.5%. Average age was 48 years; 94 patients out of 107 (87.8%) were followed up during five years at least. Total survival at five years, was 75.7%; with positive lymphatic nodes, 50% and with negative nodes, 77.2%. In 17.6% of the cases post-operative radiotherapy was required. Late morbidity was most frequent as vesical dysfunction (17.6%); there were vesicovaginal fistulae (1.3%); and operative mortality was 0.6%). The present study confirms that this type of surgery is justified, as to survival and morbi-mortality, and it allows a histopathological evaluation that shows risk factors, as to recurrence.

In order to determine the value of uterine curettage at the time of cervical conization, as well as morbidity for it, 318 patients were studied. The patients were sent because of abnormal Papanicolaous's test. The established diagnostic procedures were cervical biopsy directed by Schiller's test and/or colposcopy and cervical cone. In 151 cases cervical cone was done without endometrial curettage, and in 167 endometrial curettage was used simultaneously to cervical conization. The results show that curettage plus cervical conization had a morbidity of 9.6%, statistically significant (p less than 0.05) as compared with cervical conization (4%). Furthermore, there was an RR 2.7 times of greater risk with the first procedure, morbidity increased and it did not contribute to a more complete diagnosis.

PIP: Recent data on fertility in Mexico have allowed identification of the most likely of 2 alternative population projections through the year 2010. The projection assumes an increase in life expectancy for men and women respectively from 64.08 and 70.47 in 1980-85 and 77.00 in 2005-10. The migration assumption is that there will be a net loss of 529,274 Mexicans every 5 years. The total fertility rate is expected to decline from to 2.7. The total population was projected at 82.8 million in 1988, 104.0 million at the end of the century, and 123.2 million in 2010. The 0-14 age group will decline from 44.23% of the population in 1980 and 40.33% in 1985 to 31.41% in 2000 and 29.50% in 2010. The proportion aged 15-64 will increase from 52.45% in 1980 and 56.22% in 1985 to 63.96% in 2000 and 64 75% in 2010. The proportion of the population in localities with under 2500 inhabitants is expected to remain stable at about 24.3 million persons. Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Puebla will have a combined population of 35 million by the year 2000. In 2010, the Federal District and the State of Mexico which includes Mexico City are expected to contain 29.3% of the total population. The projected population increase over the next 22 years is 40.4 million, 16% greater than the national population in 1960. The implications for providing food and consumer goods, and especially for improving the quality of life are serious. The relative demand for primary and secondary education and for maternal-child health care will decline, but the demand for jobs and for family planning services will increase as the proportion of the population in the economically active age groups increases.^ieng
