Objetivo: Determinar la calidad de vida asociada con la técnica quirúrgica en pacientes posoperados de plastia uretral.

MÉtodo: Se estudiaron 29 pacientes intervenidos entre enero de 2011 y diciembre de 2015. Se aplicaron los cuestionarios Euroqol 5-D e International Prostate Symptom Score para medir calidad de vida y detectar recaídas, respectivamente. Se realizó estadística descriptiva, y se calcularon la incidencia acumulada, el riesgo relativo y la fracción atribuible.

Resultados: La incidencia de recaídas detectada por el International Prostate Symptom Score fue del 69% (p = 0.011); el riesgo relativo fue de 2.19 (intervalo de confianza del 95%: 2.092-2.288). La fracción atribuible a la exposición fue del 54%. La calidad de vida se asoció con la longitud de la lesión (p = 0.046), los síntomas urinarios bajos (p = 0.004) y la percepción individual del estado de salud (p = 0.003). La localización de la lesión se asoció con recaída (p = 0.008). La calidad de vida no se asoció con el tipo de plastia (p > 0.05).

Conclusiones: La incidencia de recurrencia posquirúrgica es alta. La calidad de vida es independiente de la técnica quirúrgica, pero está asociada con la longitud de la lesión y con los síntomas urinarios.

Objective: To determine the quality of life associated with the surgical technique in postoperative patients with urethral plasty.

Methods: 29 patients operated between January-2011 and December-2015 were studied. The questionnaires Euroqol 5-D and International Prostate Symptom Score were applied to measure quality of life and detect relapses, respectively. Descriptive statistics was performed, cumulative incidence, relative risk and attributable fraction were calculated.

Results: the incidence of relapse detected by the International Prostate Symptom Score was 69% (p = 0.011); the relative risk was 2.19 (95% confidence interval: 2.092-2.288). The fraction attributable to the exposure was 54%. The quality of life was associated with the length of the lesion (p = 0.046), low urinary symptoms (p = 0.004) and the individual perception of the state of health (p = 0.003). The location of the lesion was associated with relapse (p = 0.008). Quality of life was not associated with type of plasty (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: The incidence of postoperative recurrence is high. The quality of life is independent of the surgical technique, but it is associated with the length of the lesion and urinary symptoms.

Effects of Different Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Intensities over Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex on Brain Electrical Activity and Heart Rate Variability in Healthy and Fibromyalgia Women: A Randomized Crossover Trial.

People with fibromyalgia (FM) exhibit alterations in brain electrical activity and autonomic modulation compared to healthy individuals. : This study aimed to investigate transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) effects on brain electrocortical activity and heart rate variability (HRV), specifically targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in both healthy controls (HC) and FM groups, to identify potential differences in the responses between these groups, and to compare the effectiveness of two distinct tDCS intensities (1 mA and 2 mA) against a sham condition. : Electroencephalography and electrocardiogram signals were recorded pre- and post-tDCS intervention.

Unlabelled: Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most common intraocular cancer in children and, along with its treatment, can negatively impact the Quality of Life (QoL). Few studies have explored this subject in these patients; none in Latin America.

Objective: To evaluate the general, physical, emotional, social, and school quality of life of patients treated for Rb and to analyze which patient, disease, or treatment factors are associated with worse outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Limited data exist in Chile about the quality of life for patients undergoing colorectal surgery, with existing surveys lacking thorough instructions and standardization.
  • The FACT-C survey was validated by colorectal surgery experts in Chile, showing an excellent Content Validity Coefficient (CVC) above 0.9, indicating strong agreement on its effectiveness to measure quality of life.
  • Minor adjustments were made for clarity, setting the stage for further validation in Chilean patients to ensure the survey's relevance and applicability.
