Utilidad de la tomografía de impedancia eléctrica para la programación del ventilador mecánico en paciente crítico pediátrico, una alternativa dinámica y no invasiva: revisión de dos casos clínicos

La tomografía por impedancia eléctrica (TIE) es una modalidad de monitorización funcional respiratoria por imagen, no invasiva y libre de radiación, que permite visualizar en tiempo real la ventilación pulmonar regional y global en pacientes adultos y pediátricos conectados a Ventilación Mecánica...

Trombosis arterial extensa: reporte de un caso clínico

Rev. méd. Maule; 39 (2), 2024
Arterial thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms within an artery, frequently associated with ruptures of atherosclerotic plaques. This event is a major contributor to mortality and morbidity worldwide.1 In this text we will present the clinical case of a 57-year-old female patient treated at the Hermi...

Cuerpo extraño rectal en emergencias: dos casos clínicos

Rev. méd. Maule; 39 (2), 2024
INTRODUCTION: Rectal foreign body (RFB) poses a challenge for emergency surgeons in diagnosis. Clinical suspicion is essential, along with imaging support, which will allow the most effective removal treatment to be carried out depending on the case. OBJECTIVE: To describe the procedures for an anorectal...

Nocardiosis diseminada en paciente con glomeruloesclerosis focal y segmentaria

Rev. méd. Maule; 39 (2), 2024
Nocardiosis is a rare infectious disease caused by a group of bacteria of the genus Nocardia in immunocompromised patients and can affect practically any organ, the most common being the lung, central nervous system and skin. We present the case of a patient with primary focal and segmental glomeruloscle...

Volumetric Analysis of Carpal Bones by Sex with 3D Slicer Software Program

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: In this study, we aim to share the volumes of the carpal bone and the ratio of these volumes to the total volume of wrist bones from Computed Tomography (CT) images obtained from individuals of different ages and sex using 3D Slicer. Right wrist CT images of 0.625 mm slice thickness of 42 health...

Comparative Computed Tomographic Measurements of the Synsacrum in Some Birds

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: The Synsacrum is constructed of pelvic bones, sacral, lumbar vertebrae and some thoracic vertebrae, and it takes the form of a thin sheet of bone which is curled downwards at the sides. This study is designed to assess the morphometric specialization of the lumbosacral portion of the vertebral s...
