RESUMO

(1) Background: Burnout syndrome (BOS) is defined as a psychological state of physical and mental fatigue associated with work. The COVID-19 pandemic greatly impacted the physical and mental wellbeing of health professionals. The objective of this work was to determine the impact on personnel, monitoring the frequency of BOS throughout the pandemic. (2) Methods: The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was self-applied in four periods of the pandemic according to sociodemographic and employment characteristics. In this study, all hospital personnel were included; the association of BOS with sex, age, type of participant (civilian or military), military rank and profession was analyzed. (3) Results: The frequency of BOS was 2.4% (start of the pandemic), 7.9% (peak of the first wave), 3.7% (end of the first wave) and 3.6% (peak of the third wave). Emotional exhaustion (EE) was the most affected factor, and the groups most affected were men under 30 years of age, civilians, chiefs and doctors, especially undergraduate medical doctors and specialty resident doctors, and nursing personnel were less affected. (4) Conclusions: The low BOS levels show that the containment measures and military training implemented by the hospital authorities were effective, although the chief personnel were more affected in the first wave. It is probable that this combination allowed the containment of BOS, which was not observed in civilians.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: COVID-19, caused by the betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has overwhelmed the world's health systems. OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiological characteristics of patients treated in a tertiary care hospital. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with or suspected of having COVID-19 from March 23 to July 31, 2020 was conducted. RESULTS: 4,401 patients were hospitalized at Central Military Hospital, out of which 35 % were beneficiaries, 26 % civilians, 28 % active military personnel, and only 11 %, retired military personnel. Male gender predominated, both in hospitalized patients and in those who died, as well as the O+ group and absence of comorbidities; among the observed comorbidities, the main ones were overweight and diabetes. Hospitalized patients' median age was 49 years, while median age of those who died was 62 years; women older than 51 years had a higher risk of dying. Adjusted case fatality rate was 18.5 %; 50 % died within the first six days. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the epidemiological characteristics and main comorbidities in Mexican patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection were identified.


INTRODUCCIÓN: COVID-19, causada por el betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2, ha saturado los sistemas de salud del mundo. OBJETIVO: Describir las características epidemiológicas de los pacientes atendidos en un hospital de tercer nivel. MÉTODOS: Se realizó una cohorte retrospectiva de pacientes con diagnóstico o sospecha de COVID-19, del 23 de marzo al 31 de julio de 2020. RESULTADOS: En el Hospital Central Militar se hospitalizaron 4401 pacientes, 35 % derechohabientes, 26 % civiles, 28 % militares en activo y solo 11 %, militares retirados. Predominó el sexo masculino, tanto en los pacientes hospitalizados como en los que fallecieron, el grupo O+ y la ausencia de comorbilidades; entre las comorbilidades que se observaron, las principales fueron el sobrepeso y la diabetes. La mediana de edad de los pacientes hospitalizados fue de 49 años, mientras que 62 años fue la edad de quienes fallecieron; las mujeres mayores de 51 años tuvieron mayor riesgo de fallecer. La tasa de letalidad ajustada fue de 18.5 %; 50 % falleció durante los primeros seis días. CONCLUSIONES: En este estudio se lograron identificar las características epidemiológicas y se destacaron las principales comorbilidades en pacientes mexicanos con infección por SARS-CoV-2.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Whether there is an influence of the ABO blood system on SARS-CoV-2 infection is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To analyze if there is an association between the ABO system antigens and susceptibility to and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The frequency of ABO system antigens was compared in 73 confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection and 52 clinically healthy donors. Infection severity was assessed by comparing the frequency of antigens by disease severity and mortality. RESULTS: The risk of suffering from SARS-CoV-2 infection increases in subjects with A vs. non-A antigen (OR = 1.45; 95 % CI: 1.061-1.921). Blood phenotype O reduces the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection (OR = 0.686; 95 % CI: 0.522-0.903). No differences were found regarding disease severity. In critically ill patients, the risk of mortality increased in subjects with A vs. non-A antigen (OR = 3.34; 95 % CI: 1.417-8.159). CONCLUSION: Blood group A is a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection, but not for disease severity, although in critically ill patients it is a risk factor for mortality.


INTRODUCCIÓN: Se desconoce si existe una influencia del sistema sanguíneo ABO en susceptibilidad y gravedad de la enfermedad. OBJETIVO: Analizar si existe una asociación entre los antígenos del sistema ABO y la susceptibilidad y gravedad de la infección por SARS-CoV-2. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se compararon las frecuencias de los antígenos del sistema ABO en 73 casos confirmados de infección por SARS-CoV-2 y 52 donadores clínicamente sanos. La gravedad de la infección se evaluó comparando la frecuencia de los antígenos por gravedad de la enfermedad y la mortalidad. RESULTADOS: El riesgo de padecer infección por SARS-CoV-2 se incrementa en sujetos con antígeno A vs los no-A (OR=1.45; IC95 %:1.061-1.921). El fenotipo sanguíneo O disminuye el riesgo de padecer infección por SARS-CoV-2 (OR=0.686; IC95 %: 0.522-0.903). No se encontraron diferencias entre la gravedad de la enfermedad. En los pacientes graves, el riesgo de mortalidad se incrementó en sujetos con antígeno A vs los no-A (OR= 3.34; IC95 %: 1.417-8.159). CONCLUSIÓN: El grupo sanguíneo A es un factor de riesgo para padecer infección por SARS-CoV-2, no así en la gravedad de la enfermedad, pero en los pacientes graves fue un factor de riesgo para la mortalidad.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Of all cancers, only 0.3% are carcinoid tumors of the small bowel. The diagnostic approach of these patients is difficult because they may appear asymptomatic for a long time and also because of the low specificity of the currently available diagnostic tests. We present a case in which the laparoscopic approach allowed not just the diagnosis but facilitated surgery. CASE REPORT: A 58-year-old male had 2 months with mid-intestinal subocclusive symptoms (late postprandial abdominal pain relieved by vomiting). No abnormalities were found on physical examinations or with laboratory tests. Barium plain x-rays and CT scan revealed a retention stomach and proximal dilation of the small bowel without demonstrating cause. Laparoscopically, we found a 5-cm jejunal tumor. We performed intestinal resection and anastomosis by mini-laparotomy (7 cm). There were no postoperative complications. Pathology report disclosed a well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma. At 1-year follow-up there are no signs of tumor activity. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic surgery contributes to diagnosis and facilitates the management of patients with mid-intestinal subocclusive disease. Due to previous reports, the frequency of small intestine carcinoids may be underestimated. There are carcinoid tumors 2 cm or larger without metastases at the time of diagnosis.

RESUMO

Desde sus inicios, la informática ha influenciado la práctica médica en forma considerable. El avance acelerado que caracteriza a esta ciencia impone necesidades particulares para actualización de sus usuarios. En particular, los médicos tenemos necesidad de conocer de estos avances para la mejor atención de nuestros pacientes, así como para participar en el desarrollo de nuevos equipos y técnicas con una orientación de utilidad práctica. En este artículo se revisan cuatro de las áreas de informática que más influencia han tenido actualmente en la cirugía: realidad virtual, telemedicina, navegación quirúrgica y robótica
