    Abstract Antecedentes: La encefalopatía posterior reversible se relaciona con enfermedades hipertensivas del embarazo, con clínica inespecífica. El diagnóstico se realiza mediante resonancia magnética y electroencefalograma, y el tratamiento oportuno evita complicaciones.
    Caso clínico: Primigesta de 15 años con embarazo pretérmino, hipertensión arterial y convulsiones tónico-clónicas, que desarrolló encefalopatía posterior atípica con múltiples lesiones cerebrales. Se administraron antihipertensivos, sin mejoría de los síntomas neurológicos. El manejo de esta patología depende de la situación desencadenante, no existe evidencia suficiente del soporte con medidas antiedema preventivas en pacientes con factores de riesgo. El retraso en el tratamiento oportuno y la presentación atípica favorecen la progresión de las secuelas neurológicas.
    Background: Reversible posterior encephalopathy is related to hypertensive diseases of pregnancy, with a nonspecific clinic. The diagnosis is made by magnetic resonance and electroencephalogram, appropriate treatment prevents complications. ­­.
    Case report: 15-year-old primigesta with preterm pregnancy, arterial hypertension and tonic-clonic seizures, presents atypical posterior encephalopathy with multiple brain lesions, antihypertensives were administered without improvement of neurological symptoms. The management of this pathology depends on the triggering situation, there is insufficient evidence to support preventive anti-edema measures in patients with risk factors. The delay in timely treatment and atypical presentation favors the progression of neurological sequelae.

    Abstract Introduction: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is affected by numerous clinical variables, including disease activity, damage, fibromyalgia, depression and anxiety. However, these associations have not yet been described in Mexican patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
    Objective: To evaluate the relationship between disease activity, damage, depression and fibromyalgia and HRQOL measured by the LupusQoL-instrument in Mexican patients with SLE.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in women fulfilling the 1997 ACR classification criteria for SLE. HRQOL was evaluated using a disease-specific instrument for SLE, the LupusQoL (validated for the Spanish-speaking population). Patients were evaluated clinically to determine the degree of disease activity and damage using the Mexican Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (Mex-SLEDAI) and Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics-Damage Index (SLICC), respectively. Fibromyalgia and depression were assessed using the ACR criteria and the CES-D scale, respectively. The relationship between HRQOL and these variables was measured using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis.
    Results: A total of 138 women with SLE, age 40.3±11 years, disease duration 8.8±6.4 years, with disease activity in 51.4%, depression in 50%, damage in 43% and fibromyalgia in 19.6% were included. Poorer HRQOL correlated with depression (r = -0.61; p< 0.005), fibromyalgia (r = -0.42; p< 0.005), disease activity (r = -0.37; p < 0.005) and damage (r = -0.31; p < 0.005). In the multivariate linear regression analysis, damage (β = -3.756, p<0.005), fibromyalgia (β = -0.920, p<0.005), depression (β = -0.911, p<0.005) and disease activity (β = -0.911, p<0.005) were associated with poor HRQOL.
    Conclusion: SLE disease activity, damage, fibromyalgia and depression were associated with poor HRQOL in our sample of Mexican SLE patients.

    Title translation Fifty years of services of biomedical information in health documentation centers in Puebla, Mexico.
    Abstract Librarian and information services focused on supporting research, teaching, and health care are vital for the generation of new knowledge and its application in health care, both by staff and students, helps to improve the quality of medical care. Therefore, in this article we expose an historical and social tour of 50 years of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social's library services in Puebla. From 1964 to 2014 occurred many events in the development of these services in our area, from the creation of a small space in the basement, to the implementation of spaces created deliberately to provide dignified service to all users, which is why this historical sketch is here as an acknowledgement to the first librarians who contributed to the training of specialists in Mexico.

    Abstract The LupusQoL© questionnaire is a disease-specific health related quality of life (HRQOL) instrument for adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The Short Form-36 (SF-36) is a generic instrument that captures the physical, psychological, and social impact. We conducted a descriptive study of women aged ≥ 18 years attending our Lupus Clinic. HRQOL was assessed by applying the LupusQoL© and SF-36. Lupus activity was measured using the Mexican Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (Mex-SLEDAI) and chronic damage using the Systemic Lupus Collaborative Clinics Damage Index (SDI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the chi-square test and Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient. A total of 127 patients were included with a mean age of 40.5 ± 12.6 years. The mean disease duration was 8.2 ± 5.6 years, the mean disease activity score was 2.4 ± 3.0, and the mean SDI score 0.77 ± 1.06. The mean SF-36 score was 58.1 ± 21.1 and the mean LupusQoL© score was 69 ± 22.7. The correlation between global scores of the SF-36 and LupusQoL© was rho = 0.73 (p < 0.001). The correlation between lupus disease activity and the SF-36 and the LupusQoL© was -0.26 (p = 0.003) and -0.25 (p = 0.004), respectively. The correlation between the SDI and the SF-36 and the LupusQoL© was -0.28 (p = 0.001) and -0.38 (p < 0.0001), respectively. In conclusions: both LupusQoL© and SF-36 were useful instruments in assessing HRQOL in Mexican lupus female patients. The usefulness of the LupusQoL© should be evaluated in lupus patients with moderate to severe disease activity.

    Title translation Matricaria chamomilla (aqueous extract) improves atopic dermatitis-like lesions in a murine model.
    Abstract Background: Matricaria Chamomilla L. (Mch), popularly known as chamomile, has been used for centuries as an herbolary remedy due to its broad clinical spectrum. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Mch associated to a vehicle with emollient function in induced atopic dermatitis (AD)-like lesions in a murine model.
    Methods: AD was induced with dinitrochlorobenzene on 12 male seven-week old BALB/c mice. Animals were divided in three groups (control, GC; control negative, GCN; and experimental, GE). Liquid petrolatum was applied to the GCN and liquid petrolatum with aqueous extract of Mch at 7% to the GE. Induction and evolution of the lesions were verified by biopsy at 2nd and 6th week. Evaluation of peripheral blood cells to correlate inflammatory cells was made as well at the same weeks. Lesions were clinically evaluated at 2nd, 4th and 6th week. Scratching was monitored according to the observation methodology of Kobayashi et al.
    Results: Mch aqueous extract associated to a vehicle with emollient function improves atopic dermatitis-like lesions after two weeks.

    Title translation Clinical results of hallux valgus minimally surgery.
    Abstract Introduction: Hallux valgus is a frequent cause of pain, mainly in female population, characterized by deformity of the foot and important functional consequences. Open surgical techniques require relatively extensive incisions. Recently we see a tendency to use less invasive techniques with shorter hospitalization periods and better recovery.
    Objective: To evaluate postsurgical clinical results in hallux valgus with minimally invasive surgery techniques according to the AOFAS scale.
    Design: Longitudinal, prospective, descriptive and homodemic study.
    Location: Hospital of Orthopedics and Traumatology, UMAE Puebla of the Mexican Institute of Social Security.
    Material and methods: Twenty-nine patients with diagnosis of Hallux valgus treated between September 2004 and March 2008 were included. According to the AOFAS scale, we collected data from before the surgery, at one month and at 6 months postoperatively. We used univariate analysis of frequencies, measures of central tendency for demographic variables and the Wilcoxon test to evaluate pre and postoperative results with support from the SPSS version 12 program.
    Results: The global evaluation of minimally invasive surgical technique according to AOFAS showed an average in the preoperative period of 60.37 (95% CI, between 53.87-66.38), at one month of 89 (95% CI, between 85.18-90.81) and at 6 months of 96.62 (95% CI, between 94.63-98.70). Mean age was 42 years (20-65), 22 women (75.86%) and 7 men (24.13%). We observed differences in the preoperative period, at one month and at 6 months with a p < 0.05 in global evaluation of AOFAS measurement scale for pain and function.
    Discussion: Our results show that minimally invasive surgical technique is a good option for treatment of this pathology; they reveal the need to continue the study and to compare it with open surgical technique. Minimally invasive surgical technique, if properly done, reports good results and is an adequate therapeutic alternative for treatment of symptomatic hallux valgus.

    Abstract Background: Quality of life (QOL) is an important consideration in the counseling, implementation, and post-treatment management of arduous treatments for life-threatening conditions such as allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT).
    Objective: To analyze the QOL of leukemia patients allografted with the Mexican reduced-intensity conditioning regimen in two Mexican academic medical centers.
    Material and methods: By means of the quality metric short form 36 version 2 to measure generic health concepts, relevant QOL was analyzed in leukemia patients who underwent allo-HCT using reduced-intensity conditioning on an outpatient basis at either the Centro de Hematología y Medicina Interna de Puebla of the Clínica Ruiz or the Hematology Service of the Internal Medicine Department of the Hospital "Dr. José Eleuterio González" of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, and who had survived more than 12 months after the allograft, who could be approached, who were in a continued complete remission (with or without graft-versus-host disease), and who were willing to respond to the questionnaire. Thirty-five patients fulfilling these requirements were included, and a sex- and age-matched group of 35 reference subjects was also studied.
    Results: Allografted patients were found to have a slightly better mental component summary than the reference subjects (53.23 vs. 48.66 points; p = 0.01), whereas the physical component summary did not show a difference (54.53 vs. 52.05 points; p = 0.59). Most of the differences between allografted individuals and reference subject controls were not significant.
    Conclusions: Despite several sources of bias, these data suggest that allografted individuals employing the Mexican reduced-intensity conditioning regimen enjoy a health-related QOL life similar to that of reference subjects, adding another advantage of this method of conducting stem cell allografts. However, more work needs to be done to elucidate the impact of reduced-intensity conditioning on post allo-HCT QOL.
