Estudios clínicos sobre la enfermedad celíaca (2014-2019): revisión sistemática de la prevalencia de la presentación clínica y enfermedades asociadas…
2020
Introducción: La enfermedad celíaca (EC) se caracteriza por una gran variedad de signos, síntomas y enfermedades asociadas en su forma de presentación, incluso puede cursar de forma asintomática. Recientes estudios muestran la variación del espectro clínico según la edad. En niños y niñas pequeñas predomina la forma clásica con síntomas como distensión abdominal, disminución del apetito, diarrea y pérdida de peso. Las manifestaciones atípicas frecuentes en niños mayores son dolor abdominal, estreñimiento, reflujo, vómitos, fatiga, talla baja. En adultos se observa una reducción de la forma de presentación clásica e incremento de la no clásica.Material y métodos: Se realizó una revisión sist…
Structural and functional evidence for the scaffolding effect of alveolar blood vessels
2017
A contribution of pulmonary blood distension to alveolar opening was first proposed more than 100 years ago. To investigate the contribution of blood distension to lung mechanics, we studied control mice (normal perfusion), mice after exsanguination (absent perfusion) and mice after varying degrees of parenchymal resection (supra-normal perfusion). On inflation, mean tracheal pressures were higher in the bloodless mouse (4.0α2.5 cmH2O); however, there was minimal difference between conditions on deflation (0.7α0.9 cmH2O). To separate the peripheral and central mechanical effects of blood volume, multi-frequency lung impedance data was fitted to the constant-phase model. The presence or abse…
Scaffolding Effect of Vascular Distension on Peripheral Lung Mechanics

From Food Map to FODMAP in Irritable Bowel Sindrome.
2016
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases in the general population, with a prevalence ranging from 12 % to 30 %, mainly affecting younger patients (i.e., <50 years of age) and women [1]. As in other chronic functional gastrointestinal disorders, abdominal discomfort or pain, abnormal bowel habits, and often bloating and abdominal distension are the main clinical features. Their diagnosis is based on symptom patterns (i.e., the Rome III criteria), which also allow categorization in diarrhea-predominant (D-IBS), constipation-predominant (C-IBS), mixed diarrhea and constipation (M-IBS), and unclassified (U-IBS) IBS [2]. Symptom severity ranges from tol…
Guía de práctica clínica del síndrome del intestino irritable con estreñimiento y estreñimiento funcional en adultos: tratamiento. (Parte 2 de 2)
2017
En esta Guía de práctica clínica analizamos el manejo diagnóstico y terapéutico de pacientes adultos con estreñimiento y molestias abdominales, bajo la confluencia del espectro del síndrome del intestino irritable y el estreñimiento funcional. Ambas patologías están encuadradas en los trastornos funcionales intestinales y tienen una importante repercusión personal, sanitaria y social, afectando a la calidad de vida de los pacientes que las padecen. La primera es el subtipo de síndrome del intestino irritable en el que el estreñimiento es la alteración deposicional predominante junto con dolor abdominal recurrente, hinchazón y distensión abdominal frecuente. El estreñimiento se caracteriza p…
Role of FODMAPs in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
2015
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a condition characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, flatus, and altered bowel habits. The role of dietary components in inducing IBS symptoms is difficult to explore. To date, foods are not considered a cause but rather symptom-triggering factors. Particular interest has been given to the so-called FODMAPs (fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols). We aimed to summarize the evidence from the most common approaches to manage suspected food intolerance in IBS, with a particular interest in the role of FODMAPs and the effects of a low FODMAP diet. We reviewed literature, consulting PubMed and Medline by using the search terms FODMAP(s), fru…
Complications Through the Use of Viscoelastics
2000
Viscoelastic material retained behind the IOL may cause a capsular bag distension in the early postoperative period. These eyes accumulate a transparent substance in the closed chamber inside the capsular bag from the IOL blocking the capsular opening. The capsular bag distension was first discribed by Davison in 1990. Miyake et al. proposed a new classification of capsular block syndrome and supposed viscoelastic material to cause early-postoperative capsular block syndrome (Miyake et al., 1999). Capsular bag distension after optic capture of a sulcus-fixated IOL was described by Basti et al. (1999).
The effect of urine volume and nitric oxide on basal bladder blood flow: Response to catheterization and drainage
2000
Preliminary studies demonstrated that catheterization and drainage of the urinary bladder resulted in a significant increase in blood flow to the bladder. The objectives of this study were to determine 1) the relationship between urine volume and basal blood flow to the bladder smooth muscle and mucosa, 2) the effect of acute catheterization and drainage on bladder mucosal and smooth muscle blood flow, and 3) whether nitric oxide was involved in regulation of basal blood flow or the increase in blood flow observed after catheterization and bladder drainage. Twenty-four rabbits were separated into two groups: group 1 (14 rabbits) and group 2 (10 rabbits) treated with L-NAME (NOS inhibitor) 3…
Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome: What is the Meaning?
2011
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a common cause of lower extremity pain. This is frequently attributed to trochanteric bursitis and distension of the subgluteal bursae. Patients are suffering from pain radiating to the posterolateral aspect of the thigh, paraesthesiae in the legs, and tenderness over the iliotibial tract. Often the symptoms are mild, with the patient treating himself successfully through activity modification and other conservative measures. including relative rest, ice, compression, elevation, anti-inflammatory medication and treatment modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation, combined with a structured rehabilitation program. Patients whose sym…
