Item type:Publication, Comparison of achievement in anamnesis skills in on-site and online formative Objective Structured Clinical Exam(2023) ;Mariana Jadue ;Pilar Munitiz ;Luz-María Torres ;Marcelo BlacuttSoledad Armijo-Rivera<jats:p>Introduction: anamnesis is an initial step of the clinical reasoning process, which is taught throughout interviews to real or simulated patients. Its evaluation through OSCEs is widely disseminated, and in the context of a pandemic, the OSCE was adapted to be administered online. Objective: to compare the levels of achievement in anamnesis skills of two cohorts of medical students in formative OSCEs of semiology in on-site and online modality. Methods: using a blueprint established in 2017 and implemented for three years, competencies were identified that could be trained and evaluated online in third-year medical students. Telesimulations were performed with role play for anamnesis ability. Guided by a tutor, each student participated in 10 telesimulated anamnesis with peer roleplay and one anamnesis with a simulated pacientent. All of it in groups of 6 students. A formative TeleOSCE was implemented, evaluating the same skills of the year 2019 in a face-to-face training instance. In 2019 and 2020, 92 and 91 students participated respectively. The students' performance was compared in three identical scenarios. Results: at the cough, acute diarrhea, and knee pain screening scenarios, students in the 2020 cohort performed better than those in the 2019 cohort (p<0,001). Conclusions: for the development of anamnesis skill in third-year medical students, telesimulation-based teaching allows students to demonstrate adequate performance on a practical assessment administered online via TeleOSCE.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 3 7 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Lupus eritematoso neonatal, caso clínico(2023) ;Catalina Montané; Trinidad Hasbún Zegpi<jats:p>El lupus eritematoso neonatal (LEN) es una patología autoinmune muy infrecuente, que ocurre en neonatos de madres que presentan auto-anticuerpos para antígenos citoplasmáticos del Síndrome de Sjögren. En la mayoría de los casos, la evolución es benigna hacia la resolución espontánea, pero existe un grupo de pacientes que desarrollan compromiso severo del tejido de conducción miocárdico, por lo que su detección oportuna es fundamental. Objetivo: Describir un caso clínico característico de lupus eritematoso neonatal y destacar la importancia del diagnóstico oportuno en madre y neonato. Caso Clínico: Mujer de 33 años, con antecedente de hipertensión arterial, consulta en dermatología por su neonato de 15 días de vida de sexo masculino, quien presenta aparición reciente de placas redondeadas, eritematosas, de bordes solevantados, no descamativas, compatibles con LEN. Se descartó compromiso de conducción miocárdica. En los exámenes del neonato destacaba neutropenia moderada, elevación leve de transaminasas y anticuerpos antiRo y antiLa positivos. En interrogación dirigida, la madre refiere historia personal de síntomas compatibles con enfermedades del tejido conectivo, tales como fatiga, alopecia y xeroftalmia. Se solicitan anticuerpos antinucleares a la madre, quien presenta título de 1/1280 con patrón moteado, anticuerpos anti Ro y La y anticuerpos anti-DNA doble hebra positivos, y Test de Schirmer compatible con ojo seco, por lo que se diagnostica Lupus Eritematoso Sistémico con Síndrome de Sjögren asociado. Se realiza seguimiento al lactante por 5 meses con remisión de los signos cutáneos y normalización de los exámenes de laboratorio. Conclusiones: Si bien, las manifestaciones cutáneas de LEN son transitorias y benignas en el neonato, estas pueden ir acompañadas de complicaciones de riesgo vital que requieren una búsqueda activa y un manejo oportuno por el equipo médico. Un 25% de las madres de hijos con LEN son asintomáticas, o desconocen su diagnóstico de LES previo al parto, por lo que el diagnóstico oportuno de LEN en un neonato permite diagnosticar a las madres asintomáticas, optimizando su seguimiento y manejo.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 1 4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Five patients underwent a vitreous biopsy, and four of them returned PCR positive for CMV and the fifth patient had PCR positive in a blood sample. All patients were treated with oral Valganciclovir, with an induction dose of 900 mg every 12 h for up to 3 weeks until disease resolution and a maintenance dose thereafter.

Item type:Publication, Quiste pilonidal del ombligo: presentación de dos casos(2021) ;Juan Hepp ;Horacio Rios Rivas ;Juan Hepp ValenzuelaPaulina Fuenzalida Soffia<jats:p>Introducción: El quiste pilonidal del ombligo (QPO) es una entidad muy infrecuente y por eso no es reconocida precozmente. El objetivo de este manuscrito es dar a conocer esta patología. Reporte de casos: Presentamos dos pacientes referidos por un proceso inflamatorio del ombligo, con descarga de mal olor. El primer paciente, luego de dos meses de tratamiento local sin resolución, es intervenido resecando la lesión umbilical, comprobando en ese momento la existencia de contenido piloso en el quiste. En el segundo paciente se plantea el diagnóstico durante la anamnesis y se confirma con el examen físico. En ambos casos se efectuó una resección parcial del ombligo incluyendo la lesión pilonidal. La biopsia confirmo el diagnóstico. El resultado postoperatorio ha sido satisfactorio y sin recaídas. Discusión y conclusión: hay escasa literatura relacionada con el QPO. Se proponen el tratamiento conservador y la opción de resección quirúrgica del quiste. En nuestra limitada experiencia se procedió a resecar la lesión y recomendar la depilación de la región periumbilical. No podemos descartar la alternativa de manejo conservador en futuros casos, antes de proponer la cirugía.</jats:p>15
