Abstract

Endometriosis is a benign disease defined as the extra-uterine implantation and proliferation of tissue similar to endometrium (glands and stroma), causing a chronic inflammatory response and adhesions that distort anatomy. The extra-gonadal involvement is rare, but reports of intestinal endometriosis have increased substantially, mainly affecting the sigmoid colon and rectum; isolated involvement of the cecum is rare, even more so in a postmenopausal woman without use of hormone replacement therapy. We report the case of a postmenopausal woman with intestinal obstruction surgically suggestive of malignancy; however, pathological examination revealed endometriosis.

Abstract

Unitats del dolor; Hospitals; Cartera de serveis; SISCAT Unidades del dolor; Hospitales; Cartera de servicios; SISCAT Pain units; Hospitals; Portfolio of services; SISCAT Les unitats del dolor són unitats de tipus funcional pròpies de l’àmbit hospitalari, on diferents professionals d’un mateix centre sanitari treballen conjuntament per a l’abordatge del pacient amb dolor. Aquestes presten l’atenció en l’àmbit hospitalari i, dins d’aquest, majoritàriament, en l’entorn de les consultes externes hospitalàries o de l’hospital de dia o àrees de tècniques especials. A més, els procediments més complexos s’han de realitzar en entorns de tipus quiròfan. Així, es fa palesa la necessitat de disposar d’una major concreció en la cartera de serveis de les unitats del dolor i recomanacions per al maneig del dolor a Catalunya, garantint en tot moment la qualitat i seguretat d’aquesta prestació, amb l’objectiu de millorar la qualitat de vida de les persones que pateixen dolor i garantir l’equitat d’accés per a la població, tot ordenant els fluxos quan sigui necessari. Per assolir aquests objectius, cal establir una codificació correcta de les diferents tècniques i/o procediments

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has lately been driven by Omicron. This work aimed to study the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron lineages during the third and fourth waves of COVID-19 in Argentina. Molecular surveillance was performed on 3431 samples from Argentina, between EW44/2021 and EW31/2022. Sequencing, phylogenetic and phylodynamic analyses were performed. A differential dynamic between the Omicron waves was found. The third wave was associated with lineage BA.1, characterized by a high number of cases, very fast displacement of Delta, doubling times of 3.3 days and a low level of lineage diversity and clustering. In contrast, the fourth wave was longer but associated with a lower number of cases, initially caused by BA.2, and later by BA.4/BA.5, with doubling times of about 10 days. Several BA.2 and BA.4/BA.5 sublineages and introductions were detected, although very few clusters with a constrained geographical distribution were observed, suggesting limited transmission chains. The differential dynamic could be due to waning immunity and an increase in population gatherings in the BA.1 wave, and a boosted population (for vaccination or recent prior immunity for BA.1 infection) in the wave caused by BA2/BA.4/BA.5, which may have limited the establishment of the new lineages., La lista completa de autores que integran el documento puede consultarse en el archivo., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas
