RESUMO
Introducción: El cáncer de pulmón representa la causa más común de muerte por enfermedades malignas en el mundo. La tasa de respuesta al tratamiento es pobre aún en estadios iniciales y depende de varios elementos. Objetivo: Evaluar la respuesta a la quimiorradioterapia en carcinomas de pulmón en estadios iniciales según hábito de fumar, histología y etapa clínica al diagnóstico. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio de evaluación, analítico, transversal, retrospectivo. El universo estuvo constituido por los 45 pacientes con diagnóstico citohistológico de cáncer de pulmón de células no pequeñas en etapas desde la IA a la IIIA, que recibieron tratamiento de primera línea con quimiorradioterapia, atendidos en el Centro Oncológico Provincial de Matanzas, en el período de enero de 2017 a diciembre de 2019. Resultados: Se obtuvo respuesta completa en un 36,6 % de los no fumadores y en el 25 % de los fumadores. En cuanto a respuesta completa a la quimiorradioterapia de los tumores de pulmón según histología, en los adenocarcinomas fue del 10 %; en los epidermoides, 22,6 %, y en los adenoescamosos, 50 %. En etapas IA-IB presentó respuesta completa el 50 % de los casos, en las IIA-IIB el 37,5 %, mientras que en la IIIA predominó la respuesta parcial. Conclusiones: Los mejores porcientos de respuesta completa se obtuvieron en los no fumadores, con tipo histológico adenoescamoso y en etapas IA-IB.
Introduction: Lung cancer is the most common cause of death from malignant diseases in the world. The response rate to treatment is poor even in the initial stages and depends on several elements. Objective: To evaluate the response to chemoradiotherapy in lung carcinomas in early stages according to smoking habit, histology and clinical stage at diagnosis. Materials and method: An analytical, cross-sectional, retrospective evaluation study was carried out; the universe consisted of 45 patients with a cytohistological diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer in stages from IA to IIIA, who received first-line treatment with chemoradiotherapy, attended at the Provincial Cancer Center of Matanzas, in the period of January 2017 to December 2019. Results: A complete response was obtained in 36.6% of non-smokers and in 25% of smokers. Regarding complete response to chemoradiotherapy of lung tumors according to histology, in adenocarcinomas it was 10%, in epidermoids, 22.6%, and in adenosquamous cell, 50%. In stages IA-IB, 50% of the cases presented a complete response, in stages IIA-IIB, 37.5%, while in IIIA partial response predominated. Conclusions: The best percentages of complete response were obtained in non-smokers, with adenosquamous histology type and in stages IA-IB.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cognitive deficits are core symptoms of schizophrenia that occur from the early stages of the disorder. There is reliable evidence that cognitive deficits are associated with outcomes in schizophrenia; thus, early treatment could be particularly important. Studies with different neuromodulation techniques involving subjects with schizophrenia suggest that application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with inhibitory stimulation over the left temporo-parietal cortex and excitatory stimulation over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex could ameliorate positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms. The aim of the present study protocol is to evaluate the efficacy of tDCS in the treatment of cognitive symptomatology in the early stages of psychosis. METHODS/DESIGN: Seventy patients in the early stages of psychosis will be randomly allocated to receive 20 min of active 2-mA tDCS or sham stimulation once a day for 10 consecutive weekdays. The anode will be placed over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the cathode over the left temporo-parietal cortex. Neuropsychological and psychiatric assessments will be performed at baseline and at 1 and 3 months following the end of the intervention (sustained effect). DISCUSSION: The development and utilization of potentially effective neuroenhancement tools such as the non-invasive brain stimulation technique tDCS for the treatment and rehabilitation of cognitive impairment in the early stages of schizophrenia may contribute to improving outcomes of the disorder and eventually provide a further understanding of the nature of the complex and dynamic neural processes underlying those abnormalities.

Recently, attention in the field of bipolar disorder (BD) has focused on prevention, including early detection and intervention, as these strategies have the potential to delay, lessen the severity, or even prevent full-blown episodes of BD. Although knowledge of the neurobiology of BD has advanced substantially in the last two decades, most research was conducted with chronic patients. The objective of this paper is to comprehensively review the literature regarding the early stages of BD, to explore recent discoveries on the neurobiology of these stages, and to discuss implications for research and clinical care. The following databases were searched: PubMed, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, and SciELO. Articles published in English from inception to December 2015 were retrieved. Several research approaches were used, including examination of offspring studies, retrospective studies, prospective studies of clinical high-risk populations, and exploration of the progression after the first manic episode. Investigations with neuroimaging, cognition assessments, and biomarkers provide promising (although not definitive) evidence of alterations in the neural substrate during the at-risk stage. Research on BD should be expanded to encompass at-risk states and aligned with recent methodological progress in neuroscience.

Objectives: To describe the onset pattern, frequency, and severity of the signs and symptoms of the prodrome of the first hypomanic/manic episode and first depressive episode of bipolar disorder (BD) and to investigate the influence of a history of childhood maltreatment on the expression of prodromal symptoms. Methods: Using a semi-structured interview, the Bipolar Prodrome Symptom Scale-Retrospective (BPSS-R), information regarding prodromal symptoms was assessed from patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of BD. History of childhood maltreatment was evaluated using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ). Results: Forty-three individuals with stable BD were included. On average, the prodrome of mania lasted 35.8±68.7 months and was predominantly subacute or insidious, with rare acute presentations. The prodrome of depression lasted 16.6±23.3 months and was also predominantly subacute or insidious, with few acute presentations. The prodromal symptoms most frequently reported prior to the first hypomanic or manic episode were mood lability, depressive mood, and impatience. A history of childhood abuse and neglect was reported by 81.4% of participants. Presence of childhood maltreatment was positively associated with prodromal symptoms, including social withdrawal, decreased functioning, and anhedonia. Conclusions: This study provides evidence of a long-lasting, symptomatic prodrome prior to first hypomanic/manic and depressive episode in BD and suggests that a history of childhood maltreatment influences the manifestations of this prodrome.

En Colombia y en el mundo la transición demográfica ha traído cambios en el estado de salud. Es así como la enfermedad renal se ha ido incrementando debido al aumento de edad en la población, y a la presencia de hipertensión arterial y diabetes mellitus como enfermedades precursoras; en estas dos enfermedades la falta de detección temprana y de un tratamiento adecuado y oportuno conllevan a la aparición de la enfermedad renal, que sin un control adecuado, progresa llevando al usuario a terapias de soporte renal y su consecuente efecto negativo en la calidad de vida del usuario y su familia. Por lo anterior, las enfermeras tienen un gran reto desde la atención primaria en salud, reforzando el cuidado de enfermeria desde el empoderamiento de la salud, pasando por la promoción de la salud, la prevención de la enfermedad y la prevención de las complicaciones, y en unión con el equipo de salud, trabajar conjuntamente con el usuario y su familia, ya que de lo contrario, el cuidado de la salud será en vano.
In Colombia and the rest of the world demographic transitions have caused changes to the health of the population. Among these changes is an increase in kidney disease due to increased life expectancy; hypertension and diabetes are precursors of the disease and late or inadequate treatment of this conditions leads to kidney disease, which without proper control creates the need for renal support therapy that has a negative effect on patients and their families lifestyles.\r\nFor this reason, nurses have a great challenge in primary health care, reinforcing care with health empowerment, health promotion, disease prevention and prevention of complications. Nurses need to work together with the health care provider and the patient and family, otherwise health care services will be in vain.
