Granulomatous Neutrophilic Cystic Mastitis, Case Report, Katherine Contreras Gala, María Del Carmen Kapsoli
Granulomatous Neutrophilic Cystic Mastitis, Case Report, Katherine Contreras Gala, María Del Carmen Kapsoli
Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana
Cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis (CNGM) is a recently characterized entity, with specific histopathological details that differentiate it from other types of chronic idiopathic mastitis. The presence of gram-positive bacilli within cystic-like spaces surrounded by neutrophils, in a context of suppurative granulomatous inflammation, define this entity. The importance of its recognition in the diagnostic report lies in its association with infection by corynebacterial species, so that treatment with antibiotics can be targeted, beyond the anti-inflammatory treatment that is usually administered to idiopathic mastitis. We describe the case of a 35-year-old female patient with no related history, with intermittent breast pain, associated …

Methods: A study of non-experimental, retrospective, cross-sectional, analytical, case-control type. In the period from October to December 2018, a total of 312 pregnant women with maternal age at risk (teenage and elderly pregnant women) were registered, of which 72 were anemic (Hb <11 g / dl), being the number of cases, and in order to improve statistical power, the relationship between cases and controls of 1: 2 was established, with the number of controls or non-anemic pregnant women with risk maternal age 142. The general characteristics are analyzed by group of anemic pregnant women and non-anemic, and its association with risk maternal age. The association of anemia in separately pregnant adolescents and elderly women with low birth weight is determined by Chi-square test and Odds ratio. Results: Among the variables studied anemic pregnant women, the highest frequency of nulliparity and vaginal delivery, and the lowest frequency of a history of abortion and adequate prenatal control. Teenage pregnant women with anemia were not associated with an increased risk of low birth weight (p = 0.056). Pregnant women who were anemic were associated with a 6-fold increased risk of low birth weight (95% CI: 2,219 to 18,026; p = 0.000). Conclusions: Elderly pregnant women have a higher risk of presenting products with low birth weight.

Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana
Objective: To determine the perinatal predictors of persistently low Apgar at 5 minutes in an EsSalud hospital. Material and methods: Observational, analytical case-control study. A census analysis of 889 neonates with low Apgar (<7) at the first minute treated at the Octavio Mongrut Muñoz Hospital from 2009-2018 was carried out, after verification of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The EsSalud Perinatal Surveillance System (SVP) was used. The Chi square test and crude odds ratio (ORc) were used as a measure of association. Likewise, binary logistic regression was applied to estimate adjusted odds ratios (ORa). Results: There were 17,780 live births during the study period, of which 889 (11.9%) had low Apgar scores at one minute. The incidence of persistently low Apgar score at five minutes was 5.68 per 1,000 live births. In the multivariate analysis, the only perinatal predictors of a persistently low Apgar score at 5 minutes were aspiration of meconium amniotic fluid (ORa = 7.82; p <0.01) and the presence of a congenital anomaly (ORa = 3.19; p <0.01). Conclusion: meconium amniotic fluid aspiration and the presence of a congenital anomaly are perinatal predictors of a persistently low Apgar score at the fifth minute of extrauterine life in an EsSalud hospital.
