Artigo de RevisãoResumo O raciocínio clínico nasceu 2500 anos atrás com Hipócrates, tendo evoluído ao longo dos séculos, e se tornado uma mistura de arte e ciência. Várias personalidades ao longo da história contribuíram para melhorar a acurácia diagnóstica. Contudo, o erro diagnóstico é ainda comum e causa um grande impacto nos sistemas de saúde. Para lidar com esse desafio, vários modelos de raciocínio clínico surgiram para sistematizar o processo de pensamento clínico. Este artigo descreve a história do raciocínio clínico e os métodos atuais de raciocínio diagnóstico, propõe um novo modelo de raciocínio clínico chamado Raciocínio Integrativo, e traz perspectivas sobre o futuro do raciocínio clínico.
Aspergillosis is an opportunistic mycosis that generally affects the lungs. The fungus was cleared by the immune system of a healthy host. Extrapulmonary forms are very rare, and there are few reports of urinary aspergillosis. In this case report, we describe a 62-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with complaints of fever and dysuria. The patient had recurrent episodes of urinary tract infection and several hospitalizations. A computed tomography revealed an amorphous mass in the left kidney and bladder. After partial resection of the material was referred for analysis, Aspergillus infection was suspected and confirmed by culture. Successful treatment with voriconazole was provided. Diagnosis of localized primary renal Aspergillus infection in a patient with SLE requires careful investigation due to its benign presentation and lack of associated systemic clinical features.
Doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) são a principal causa de morte no Brasil, diminuindo significativamente a expectativa de vida, prejudicando a qualidade de vida, e afetando grandemente no Sistema de saúde unificado brasileiro. Entretanto, é importante destacar o enorme avanço na pesquisa cardiovascular e na cardiologia brasileira nas últimas 6 décadas, que contribuíram para aumentar a expectativa de vida de 54,1 anos em 1960 para 75,6 anos em 2018. 1
