RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI) has been associated with unfavorable outcomes, including increased mortality. We aimed to describe the clinical course and outcomes during the first 7 days after diagnosis in newborns with AKI in three neonatal intensive care units in Popayán-Colombia. METHODS: Multi-center prospective cohort study conducted between June 2019 and December 2020 in three NICUs after ethical approval. We included newborns between 2 and 28 days of life, first diagnosed with AKI using the KDIGO classification modified for newborns which consider increased serum creatinine values over baseline values as well as urine output over time in hours or both. Patients with chromosomal abnormalities, major kidney malformations, and complex congenital heart disease were excluded. Patients were followed for up to 7 days after diagnosis and the maximum KDIGO stage, recovery of kidney function, need for renal replacement therapy and cumulative incidence of death were evaluated. RESULTS: Over the 18 months of the study, 4132 newborns were admitted to the NICUs, and 93 patients (2.25, 95% CI 1.82-2.75%) developed neonatal AKI. 59.1% of the newborns were premature and there were no differences in severity according to gestational age. During follow-up, the maximum KDIGO was 64.5% for AKI-stage 1, 11.8% for AKI-stage 2, and 23.7% for AKI-stage 3. Kidney function recovery was higher in AKI-stage 1 patients vs. AKI-severe (AKI-stage 2 and 3) (95% vs. 48.5%). Five patients (5.4%) received renal replacement therapy and 15 died (16.1%), four in AKI-stage 1 vs. 11 in AKI-severe (6.7% vs 33.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Newborns admitted to the NICUs can develop AKI regardless of gestational age, and it is more frequent between the second and ninth days of life. More patients whit AKI-stage 1 recover and die less than those in a severe stage.

Comprehensive psychiatric rehabilitation programs in Latin America have been designed across several countries in the region without yet achieving full implementation. Facing an increasing burden of disease due to mental disorders, including alcohol and substance use disorders, the region has responded unevenly to the challenge. Moreover, low priority for mental health in national policies and insufficient funding for mental health services are common barriers for the much-needed mental health services reforms. Reestablishing a primary care community-based model of care has been a shared aspiration for most countries during the last two decades. Comprehensive models of psychiatric rehabilitation developed predominantly in high-income countries need to be culturally adapted to local contexts, while strengthening health systems research will provide evidence on the efficiency of locally designed interventions and on the critical milestones to succeed in the scaling up strategies. Increasing participation of patients and their families in the mental health delivery system is another key factor in order to ensure comprehensive patient-centred psychosocial rehabilitation programs in Latin America.

Objetivo: Evaluar pacientes con lesiones tumorales hepáticas, no quirúrgicas, a quienes se les administro Renio 188 -Lipiodol vía transarterial, como alternativa terapéutica.Método: Once pacientes con cáncer de hígado no operable se trataron con dosis entre 170 y 4181 MBq de Renio 188 Lipiodol a través de la arteria hepática. Los pacientes fueron evaluados clínicamente, con test hematológicos, de función hepática y TAC hepático periódicamente.Resultados: El tratamiento con Renio 188 Lipiodol fue bien tolerado . Tres pacientes desarrollaron fiebre leve y un paciente Neumonitis Intersticial que resolvió completamente. En el TAC de control siete pacientes evidenciaron reducción significativa del tamaño de la lesión , 1 sin cambios, 1 progresión y 2 no se han evaluado.Conclusiones: Renio 188 Lipiodol es un tratamiento seguro, la técnica de preparación fácilmente reproducible y se constituye en una alternativa terapéutica para este tipo de pacientes.
