Abstract

With the availability of new diagnostic techniques, numerous alter-ations are found, whose real importance for health is uncertain. The term «incidentalomas», isused for non apparent tumors found in diagnostic procedures. In Endocrinology, the incidentalfinding of thyroid nodules is common. The occurrence of those incidental nodules requires a re-view of the «classical» statements for the management of palpable nodules. The most important is-sue is to rule out the presence of cancer. The Chilean Society of Endocrinology, Metabolism andNutrition appointed a group of experts to generate a consensus on the management of non palpa-ble nodules. These experts reviewed international literature, and the local experience, analyzedthe value of thyroid ultrasound examination and the efficiency of fine needle aspiration biopsy.This consensus is a clinical guide for the management of non palpable thyroid nodules, consider-ing that a unique and optimal approach is still lacking (Rev Med Chile 2004; 132: 1249-55).(

Abstract

Unlabelled: Scientific literature has described that a significant body weight increase in schoolchildren occurs during some holiday periods (summer, winter, and thanksgiving holidays), harming their health. In this regard, it is thought that this phenomenon is mainly due to changes in eating habits and the variation in levels of physical activity; however, this approach has not yet been explored during national holidays (NAH) in Chile., Purpose: To determine any changes in body composition, physical activity and caloric intake during NAH., Methods: A total of 46 schoolchildren (24 boys, age 10.5 ± 0.5; BMI 21.7 ± 4.7) participated. Measurements were performed 2 days before and after the NAH (9 days). Weight was measured and fat percentage was established using the Slaughter formula. Levels of physical activity were measured with accelerometers, validating 3 weekdays and 1 weekend; caloric intake was established through a 24-h recall., Results: Weight, percentage of fat and caloric intake increased significantly (250 g, 2.2 % and 733.3 kcal, respectively; p < 0.05); however, none of the variables of physical activity showed significant changes., Conclusion: The change in caloric intake seems to be the main cause of weight and fat gain during the NAH.
