"Frequency of NMOSD misdiagnosis in a cohort from Latin America: Impact and evaluation of different contributors. Mult Scler. 2022 Dec"

Enviado por remote_content el

"Background: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) misdiagnosis (i.e. the incorrect diagnosis of patients who truly have NMOSD) remains an issue in clinical practice. We determined the frequency and factors associated with NMOSD misdiagnosis in patients evaluated in a cohort from Latin America.

Conclusions: NMOSD misdiagnosis is relatively frequent in Latin America (12%). Misapplication and misinterpretation of clinical and neuroradiological findings are relevant factors associated with misdiagnosis."

"Abstract

A marked response to L-Dopa and L-Dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) make the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) highly likely. This paper evaluates response to L-Dopa in Perry syndrome (PS), parkinsonism with distinct molecular and neuropathologic characteristics.

Conclusions

Patients with PS may present PD-like parkinsonism with a marked and sustained response to L-Dopa and LID. The characteristic pattern of craniocervical dystonia may be a helpful clue to the diagnosis of PS."

"Background

The impact of immunosuppression in solid organ transplant recipients with SARS-CoV-2 infection is unknown. The knowledge about the behavior of different immunosuppression schemes in clinical outcomes is scarce. This study aimed to determine the risk of death in kidney transplant recipients with COVID-19 under two different schemes of immunosuppression.

Herramientas para identificar consumo y desperdicio de la dieta hospitalaria. Revisión Sistemática. Rev. chil. nutr.vol.49 no.2 Santiago

Enviado por remote_content el

"RESUMEN

Uno de los factores que influyen en la desnutrición hospitalaria es la incapacidad del paciente para alimentarse correctamente. Un bajo consumo de la dieta hospitalaria aumenta el riesgo a sufrir complicaciones de salud, además genera impacto económico y ambiental, producto del aumento de desperdicio de alimentos. Generar estrategias encaminadas a mitigar este problema debe ser prioridad para el sector salud. Objetivo: Identificar herramientas técnicas utilizadas para medir el consumo y/o desperdicio de alimentos en la dieta hospitalaria.
