Resumen Introducción: Los accidentes de tránsito se han convertido en un importante problema de salud pública debido a su alta morbimortalidad. La tendencia en lesiones y muerte por accidentes de tránsito se encuentra en niveles alarmantes en países como Colombia. Objetivo: Caracterizar epidemiológicamente las lesiones por accidentes de tránsito reportados en personas atendidas en una institución de salud en el municipio de Pereira entre 2014 y 2017. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo y transversal basado en fuentes secundarias según características sociodemográficas, epidemiológicas y clínicas de los accidentes de tránsito atendidos en una entidad de salud del municipio de Pereira, durante el período comprendido entre los años 2014 a 2017. Resultados: Se analizaron 460 casos en el periodo estudiado (64,1%) en hombres. El motociclista representó el 44,3% de las víctimas. El 64,3% sufrieron contusiones, seguido del 20,9% de fracturas, el 53% de las lesiones se presentaron en miembros superiores e inferiores. Conclusiones: Existió un incremento significativo de las lesiones ocasionadas por accidentes de tránsito, producidas por motociclistas y peatones, asociadas a la impericia del conductor y la distracción del peatón, el cual desencadenó en contusiones y fracturas y aumento de la carga de la enfermedad.

Abstract Introduction: Traffic accidents have become an important public health problem due to their high morbimortality. The trend in injury and death from road traffic accidents is at alarming levels in countries like Colombia. Objective: To characterize epidemiologically the injuries by traffic accidents reported in people who were served in a health institution in the municipality of Pereira from 2014 to 2017. Materials and methods: A descriptive and transversal study was made based on secondary sources according to sociodemographic, epidemiological and clinical characteristics of traffic accidents attended by a health entity in the municipality of Pereira from 2014 to 2017. Results: 460 cases were analyzed in the studied period, 64.1% in males. The motorcyclist represented 44.3% of the victims. 64.3% suffered bruises, followed by 20.9% of fractures. 53% of the lesions were presented in upper and lower limbs. Conclusions: There was a significant increase in injuries caused by traffic accidents caused by motorcyclists and pedestrians, associated with the driver's incompetence and the distraction of the pedestrian, which triggered in contusions, fractures and increased burden of disease.

ABSTRACT The number of studies on Neotropical mantises has been growing in recent years, and the systematics of Mantodea is now a dynamic field with noteworthy contributions. Several taxonomic revisions have been published recently. The taxonomy of Paraphotina Giglio-Tos, 1915 is reviewed as part of current studies on systematics of Neotropical Mantodea. Currently, Paraphotina contains four species from South America: P. caatingaensis (Menezes & Bravo, 2013) comb. nov., P. insolita (Rehn, 1941), P. occidentalis Lombardo, 1998 and P. reticulata (Saussure, 1871). Paraphotina venezuelana Beier, 1963 is a new junior synonym of P. insolita . Keys for the Paraphotina species are proposed. The distribution of Paraphotina species is apparently correlates with areas of endemism in the Amazonian and Cerrado regions.

Parasitism by horsehair worms (Nematomorpha) in Mantodea is well known, but only a few cases of intersexuality were reported in the literature. In the present study, intersexuality of the holotype of Photina gracilis Giglio-Tos, 1915 is documented as a possible consequence of nematomorph parasitism. Photina gracilis and Photina laevis Giglio-Tos, 1915 are established as new subjective junior synonyms of Photina vitrea (Burmeister, 1838). The female holotype of Mantis (Cardioptera) gymnopyga Burmeister, 1838, which was associated and synonymized with P. vitrea, is recognized as a member of the genus Coptopteryx and the combination Coptopteryx gymnopyga (Burmeister, 1838) is revalidated. The substitute name Photina gymnopyga (Burmeister, 1838), instead of Mantis (Photina) vitrea Burmeister, 1838 (nec Mantis vitrea Stoll, 1813), is discarded and established as a new synonym of Coptopteryx gymnopyga. The name vitrea Burmeister, 1838 must be maintained until ruling by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.

OBJETIVO: Relatar dois casos de irmãos com doença granulomatosa crônica. A doença granulomatosa crônica é uma imunodeficiência primária caracterizada por atividade microbicida deficiente. Mutações no gene que codifica a proteína p47-phox (NCF-1) estão presentes em 30% dos casos de doença granulomatosa crônica. Essa forma da doença é de herança autossômica recessiva e resulta em fenótipo de evolução mais benigno e início tardio em relação à forma ligada ao X, que corresponde a 56% dos casos. DESCRIÇÃO: Caso 1 - paciente feminina, iniciou infecções de repetição aos 10 anos, com impetigo, seguido de pneumonia grave 6 meses após. A gravidade da infecção pulmonar associada a abscesso hepático e sua refratariedade ao tratamento demandaram investigação laboratorial para imunodeficiência, com teste do nitroblue tetrazolium e dosagem de ânion superóxido compatíveis com doença granulomatosa crônica. A avaliação dos familiares confirmou o mesmo diagnóstico em seu irmão (Caso 2), que também iniciou infecções de repetição com impetigo aos 10 anos e pneumonia 6 meses após, porém tratada com sucesso ambulatorialmente. A análise de polimorfismo conformacional de cadeia simples revelou alteração da mobilidade eletroforética do éxon 2 do gene NCF-1. Identificou-se uma deleção dos nucleotídeos GT no éxon 2 por seqüenciamento do DNA. COMENTÁRIOS: Este estudo mostra a importância da avaliação de familiares, mesmo quando não apresentam história clínica típica de doença granulomatosa crônica. A identificação da mutação e sua correlação com o fenótipo dos pacientes é importante para estabelecer o prognóstico e o aconselhamento genético.

OBJECTIVE: To report the case of two siblings with chronic granulomatous disease. Chronic granulomatous disease is a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by abnormal microbicidal activity. Mutations in the p47-phox gene (NCF-1) are present in about 30% of the patients with chronic granulomatous disease; this group presents a better prognosis and later onset of recurrent infections as compared with the X-linked variant, present in about 56% of patients. DESCRIPTION: Case 1 is a female presenting repeat infections since age 10, starting with impetigo followed by severe pneumonia six months later. The severity of the lung infection associated with liver abscess and the patient's resistance to treatment prompted laboratory investigation for immunodeficiency. The results of the nitroblue tetrazolium and superoxide release tests were consistent with a diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease. The parents and siblings were assessed, revealing the presence of granulomatous disease in a brother (Case 2). He also presented repeat infections with impetigo at age 10, followed by pneumonia six months later, however in a non severe form. Single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis detected abnormal electrophoretic mobility of exon 2 of the NCF-1 gene. Sequence DNA analysis revealed a dinucleotide GT deletion in exon 2. COMMENTS: It is important to evaluate the relatives of chronic granulomatous disease patients, even in the absence of typical clinical signs. Defining the mutation and its correlation with phenotype is important to provide appropriate genetic counseling and clinical prognosis.
