URÉTER CIRCUMCAVO NO OBSTRUCTIVO Se presenta un caso de uréter circumcavo derecho no obstructivo o tipo dos de Batenson y Atkinson en un hombre de 49 años. Se diagnostico tras consulta por hematuria y dolor ureteral, atribuíble a infección urinaria concomitante. Destacamos la ausencia de retardo funcional, dilatación y morfología típica del mismo. Se decidió actitud expectante, estando asintomático tras 12 meses de seguimiento.

Estudiar las necesidades de los pacientes oncológicos sobre la información referida a su enfermedad y los cuidados al final de la vida. Métodos: 820 pacientes participaron de una encuesta sobre diagnóstico, pronóstico, eficacia y toxicidad de los tratamientos, así como también sobre cuidados paliativos, investigación clínica, apoyo psicológico, cuidados espirituales y deseos del final de la vida. Resultados: 695 pacientes conocen su diagnóstico, especialmente quienes tenían un mayor nivel educativo y un rango etario de 50-70 años. Seiscientos setenta y cuatro pacientes deseaban conocer su pronóstico, estando más predispuestos a conocerlo quienes tenían educación secundaria y superior. La mayoría (562 pacientes) deseaba conocer todo con respecto a la utilidad de los tratamientos, al igual que con respecto a la toxicidad (443) y valoraría contar con información sobre cuidados paliativos e investigación. Además consideraba la internación hospitalaria como el mejor lugar para morir (331). Las mujeres se mostraron más propensas a recibir ayuda psicológica y espiritual. Las condiciones más valoradas en el médico fueron: conocimiento (52,7%), Honestidad (45,5%) y Humanidad (44,3%).

6596 Background: The oncological day hospital (ODH) at IOHM carries out 80 chemotherapies per day with 6 certified oncological nurses as staff. Human resources allocation in oncology has not been formally studied in relation to treatment risks. The objective of this paper is to present a risk assessment model for the rational allocation for human resources in the ODH using the KGD scale. Methods: The KGD scale was designed through a retrospective evaluation of more than 15,000 treatments (Tx). Between November 1st and December 1st, 2012, this instrument was validated with all new patients (Pt) beginning Tx at IOHM. The KGD scale evaluates risk according to: Five Pt characteristics (Elderly, Polymedicated, Without symptom control, Neuropsychiatric problems, Presence or absence of family members); Four Tx characteristics (New drugs, Complex protocol, High risk of acute toxicity, Infrequently used) and workplace context(New personnel, Holiday absences, With or without close medical support). The KGD scale was determined for each Tx and applied as follows: Low Risk (0-3 points): two nurses in the ODH, supervision is at the patient’s request and the chemotherapy can be administered at the beginning or end of the workday; Intermediate Risk (4-5 points): three nurses in the ODH, supervision is mandatory and the treatment can take place at any time in the workday; High Risk(6 or more points): four nurses in the ODH, supervision must be constant and the Tx must take place in the middle of the workday. The chemotherapy outcome was observed. Results: One hundred and thirty patients were admitted. Sex fem 74 (59%), male 56 (41%): age: 49y (range 22-87). Diagnosis: breast 40, colon: 21, lung: 16, ovaries:11, lymphoma: 11, testis:7, sarcoma: 5 ; others: 19 KGD risk assessment: Low Risk 25 pts (19 %); Intermediate Risk 77 pts (59%); High Risk 28 pts (21%). There were no complications in any of the 312 chemotherapy treatments administered to this cohort. Conclusions: 1) The KGD scale has shown to be a useful aid in the treatment risk assessment. 2) Use of the KGD scale allows for an efficient personnel allocation at the ODH according the Tx risk 3) The academic qualification of the nurses staff are mandatory to control the risk.

The information obtained in the study by means of the descriptive analysis of our series meets in conformity the published in other studies and publications. There exists a need to increase the diagnostic profitability of the biopsy of prostate, for which we have introduced a protocol of biopsy under local anesthesia in order to be able to increase the number of obtained cylinders.

We report a case on circumcavum ureter without obstruction or type two, according the Batenson and Atkinson's classification, in a forty-nine year old man. It was diagnosticated for a gross haematuria and renoureteral pain, because of a simultaneous urinary tract infection. We emphasize its absence of the typical morphology and obstruction signs. After twelve months the patient is still asymptomatic, without any medical or surgical treatment.
