Mohs micrographic surgery (MMC) is a specialized surgical and anatomopathological procedure whose purpose is to eliminate skin cancer trying to preserve the greatest amount of healthy tissue while controlling the tumor margin; is the method of choice for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), however there is evidence that supports its use in less frequent tumor,, including those tumors that are not well dened clinically and have a high risk of recurrence due to their histology and anatomical location.
Pneumonic aspiration of gastric contents is an important complication of anesthetic practice. : To determine the applicability of ultrasound for the assessment of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of gastric contents. : A systematic review was carried out, based on a structured search of the literature published in the databases: Pubmed, EMBASE, SciELO, Cochrane Library, OVID and Google Scholar, from the foundation of these until December 2018 Boolean connectors were used to locate information from the terms: anesthesiology, ultrasonography, gastrointestinal Contents. The quality of the information was assessed using different tools according to each type of study. : We found 23 relevant studies for inclusion in the systematic review. The overall risk of bias was low. : Gastric ultrasound seems to correspond to a tool that is easy to perform at the patient’s bedside, but there is uncertainty about its applicability in uncontrolled settings, different from those applied in the studies described in this review. More research is needed with different populations and scenarios, in favor of establishing the behavior in these, of the variables that can be determined by ultrasound. The implications for clinical practice and long-term outcomes may have the measurements achieved by ultrasound are still uncertain.
Introducción. El control prenatal constituye la principal herramienta para la prevención de las complicaciones del embarazo, el parto y el puerperio. Aun así, las tasas de muerte y enfermedades relacionadas con la gestación continúan siendo inaceptablemente altas, especialmente en los países en vía de desarrollo. Objetivo. Describir las condiciones de acceso al control prenatal, en un centro de primer nivel de atención de la Ciudad de Pasto, Nariño, Colombia. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal. Se encuestaron 204 mujeres con edad gestacional entre 36 y 40 semanas, asistentes a control prenatal en el Centro de Salud Pandiaco, nivel I de atención de la ciudad de Pasto- Colombia, durante el año 2015. Resultados. Aproximadamente el 50% de las gestantes realizó menos de 4 controles prenatales a lo largo del embarazo. El trabajo, las labores del hogar, el cuidado de otros hijos y la incapacidad económica fueron referidas como las principales limitaciones para la asistencia regular. Conclusiones. El cuidado del hogar, la atención de otros hijos y la necesidad de trabajar representaron las principales barreras de acceso al control prenatal en la población estudiada.
