Alexithymic characteristics in pediatric patients with primary headache: a comparison between migraine and tension-type headache
2015
Background: Alexithymia is a personality construct characterized by difficulties in verbal emotional expression and a limited ability to use one’s imagination. Evidence of alexithymic characteristics was found in adults suffering from headache, while little is known about children. The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence of alexithymia in two different subgroups of children and adolescents suffering from primary headache. We also looked for correlation between alexithymia in children and in their mothers. Methods: This study involved 89 participants: 47 (11 males, 36 females, aged 8 to 17 years) suffering from tension-type headache (TTH), and 42 (18 males, 24 females, aged 8 t…
Maddalena Opioid Switching Score in patients with cancer pain
2021
Evaluation of opioid switching (OS) for cancer pain has not been properly assessed. The aim of this study was to assess an integrated score (Maddalena Opioid Switching Score) as a simple and repeatable tool to evaluate the outcomes of OS, facilitating the interpretation and comparison of studies, and information exchange among researchers. The integrated score took into account pain intensity, intensity of opioid-related symptoms, and cognitive function by using an author's formula. Physical and psychological symptoms were evaluated by the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale and Patient Global Impression (PGI) by the minimal clinically important difference. One hundred six patients were analy…
CAD-R. Cuestionario de afrontamiento al dolor crónico: análisis factorial confirmatorio. ¿Hay diferencias individuales en sexo, edad y tipo de dolor?
2017
espanolRESUMEN Introduccion: Se presenta una revision del CAD-R (Cuestionario de afrontamiento al dolor reducido) (1) en una muestra de 4.389 pacientes diagnosticados con dolor cronico derivada de un estudio multicentrico de toda Espana (2). Material y metodo: Se analiza la estructura factorial mediante analisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) y confirmatorio (AFC), asi como la fiabilidad (consistencia interna y test retest a los tres meses, esta ultima sobre 2.825 pacientes). Se ponen a prueba cuatro modelos constatando que las estrategias de primer orden correlacionadas son las que aportan mejores indices de ajuste. Resultados: Tanto los indices de consistencia interna como los test-retest r…
Anesthetic management of a patient diagnosed with CADASIL (cerebral arteriopathy, autosomal dominant, with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopat…
2011
CADASIL (cerebral arteriopathy, autosomal dominant, with subcortical infarcts and leu-koencephalopathy) is an infrequent inherited disease that could have anesthetic implica-tions. However these have rarely been reported. We present a male patient previously diagnosed with CADASIL, who had suffered an ischemic vascular cerebral accident with a MRI compatible with leukoencephalopathy, and who was dependent for daily activities, and sustained dementia, mood alterations, apathy, and urine incontinence. He had famil-ial antecedents of psychiatric symptoms and ischemic stroke events in several relatives including his father, two brothers and one sister. He was scheduled for arthrodesis of the le…

Les rectifications orthographiques de 1990 et leur application dans lʼespace francophone, 30 ans plus tard
2021
Chaque langue vivante évolue constamment et il est logique que ses composants changent progressivement au cours des siècles. Bien que le lexique représente le composant le plus dynamique dans la variation, lʼévolution permanente se manifeste aussi sur lʼorthographe. Si l’on observe lʼécriture française médiévale, on peut sʼapercevoir quʼelle était assez proche de sa forme orale et les graphèmes correspondaient aux phonèmes. Aujourdʼhui, il est plutôt difficile de retrouver un mot français don...

ASPERGILOSIS PULMONAR INVASIVA EN PACIENTES CON SINDROME DE DISTRÉS RESPIRATORIO POR COVID-19
2021
Resumen Los pacientes con COVID-19 que ingresan en una unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI), tienen un alto riesgo de desarrollar infecciones secundarias, incluyendo infecciones fungicas invasivas como aspergilosis pulmonar invasiva (API). El objetivo principal fue el analisis de los casos con sospecha de COVID-19 Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CAPA) en nuestra unidad. En estos pacientes realizamos cultivo micologico en el lavado broncoalveolar como metodos de aislamiento de Aspergillus sp. Se siguio el algoritmo AspICU para establecer el diagnostico de API probable. Ademas, considerando tambien relevante la positividad del antigeno de galactomanano. Se confirmo API probable en 3 de ell…
