Assessment, Monitoring, and Management of Brain-Dead Potential Organ Donors in Europe
(Springer New York, 2013-03-01) Echeverri Junca, Gabriel Jaime
With 34 donors per million population, Spain has impressed the international transplant community with the world's highest rate of organ donation (double the European average), short waiting lists, and reduced reliance on living donation. These data account for the World Health Organization's strategy for extending the so-called Spanish Model across the globe, and for the European Parliament's decision, on May 19, 2010, to incorporate some of the elements of the Spanish Model in its Action Plan on organ donation and transplantation. At present, there are a number of organ transplantation organizations in Europe, though no standardized protocol exists for all countries, and no standardized laws are in place. We describe the most successful model (the Spanish Model for organ donation) and describe in detail the most important recommendations of the 2009 Council of Europe's Guide to Safety and Quality Assurance for the Transplantation of Organs, Tissues and Cells. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.

Comparative evaluation of adhesion formation of prosthetic meshes after intra-abdominal implantation in wistar rats / Evaluación comparativa de la formación de adherencias de mallas protésicas después de la implantación intraabdominal en ratas
(IEEE, 2012-04-07) Arboleda, A.
Increasingly biomaterials for the repair of abdominal wall defects are used. The aim of this study was to evaluate adhesion formation of prosthetic meshes after intraabdominal implantation to repair a surgical defect in the anterior abdominal wall. This anatomical defect was repaired by one of the three types of previously sterilized meshes: 1) fibroin 2) fibroin with polyethylene glycol and 3) commercial polypropylene mesh as control. The grip score was significantly higher in the commercial polypropylene mesh. Fibroin is a promising biomaterial for treating defects of the abdominal wall. © 2014 IEEE.
Echocardiographic assessment of valve prostheses in the pediatric population
(Sociedad Colombiana de Cardiologia y Cirugia Cardiovascular, 2014-01-01) Santos, Raúl D.
En niños con insuficiencia o estenosis valvular significativa, la intervención de la válvula, ya sea valvuloplastia o reemplazo valvular, suele ser inevitable. El seguimiento de estos pacientes puede ser complejo; los síntomas iniciales de disfunción valvular protésica son inespecíficos y en ocasiones es difícil diferenciar entre los efectos de la disfunción valvular, las patologías no cardíacas, la disfunción ventricular y la hipertensión pulmonar. Aunque el examen físico puede alertar al clínico acerca de alteraciones, se requieren otros métodos diagnósticos para evaluar la función de la prótesis. La ecocardiografía Doppler es el método de elección no invasivo para estudiar la función valvular y pese a que muchas de las mediciones y parámetros de normalidad y anormalidad son extrapolados de estudios en adultos, se han tratado de definir estándares en pacientes pediátricos. Este documento ofrece una revisión acerca de las técnicas usadas en el estudio de las válvulas protésicas con base en literatura científica, consensos internacionales y opiniones de expertos.
Tolerancia a inhibidores selectivos de la ciclooxigenasa 2 en casos de alergia o intolerancia a los antiinflamatorios no esteroideos convencionales: experiencia en un centro.
(Asociacion Colombiana de Dermatologia y Cirugia Dermatologica, 2012-07-01) Serrano Reyes, Carlos Daniel
Background: Patients with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) sensitivity have a low prevalence of cross-reaction to COX-2 selective inhibitors. Oral drug challenge with these agents can be done in a clinical setting with a good safety profile. Objective: To evaluate tolerance to COX-2 selective inhibitors in patients with history of NSAID sensitivity using a shortened oral drug challenge. Methods: Patients with NSAID sensitivity were included. A shortened oral drug challenge with a COX-2 selective inhibitor (meloxicam or etoricoxib) was carried out. The challenge was considered positive if any of the following symptoms appeared: urticaria, rhinoconjunctivitis, angioedema, anaphylaxis or bronchospasm, the latter defined as a fall in FEV1 equal or greater than 20%. Results: Fifty-four patients were enrolled (78% were women), with a mean age of 39.6 years (range, 13 to 70 years). Forty three patients were challenged with meloxicam (79.6%) and 11 with etoricoxib (20.4%). Forty nine patients tolerated the drug challenge (90.7%), and only five patients (all challenged with meloxicam) developed a reaction (9.3%): urticaria in two, urticaria plus angioedema in one, and broncospasm in other two. From these, three were rechallenged with etoricoxib and all of them tolerated it. Conclusion: Most of the subjects with NSAID sensitivity tolerated a COX-2 selective inhibitor by means of a shortened oral drug challenge. This is the first cohort of patients with NSAID sensitivity and its tolerance to COX-2 selective inhibitors published in our country. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
