OBJECTIVE: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with high mortality among hospitalized patients and incurs high costs. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection can trigger both inflammatory and thrombotic processes, and these complications can lead to a poorer prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the association and temporal trends of D-dimer and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE), hospital mortality, and costs among inpatients with COVID-19. METHODS: Data were extracted from electronic patient records and laboratory databases. Crude and adjusted associations for age, sex, number of comorbidities, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score at admission, and D-dimer or CRP logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations. RESULTS: Between March and June 2020, COVID-19 was documented in 3,254 inpatients. The D-dimer level ≥4,000 ng/mL fibrinogen equivalent unit (FEU) mortality odds ratio (OR) was 4.48 (adjusted OR: 1.97). The CRP level ≥220 mg/dL OR for death was 7.73 (adjusted OR: 3.93). The D-dimer level ≥4,000 ng/mL FEU VTE OR was 3.96 (adjusted OR: 3.26). The CRP level ≥220 mg/dL OR for VTE was 2.71 (adjusted OR: 1.92). All these analyses were statistically significant (p<0.001). Stratified hospital costs demonstrated a dose-response pattern. Adjusted D-dimer and CRP levels were associated with higher mortality and doubled hospital costs. In the first week, elevated D-dimer levels predicted VTE occurrence and systemic inflammatory harm, while CRP was a hospital mortality predictor. CONCLUSION: D-dimer and CRP levels were associated with higher hospital mortality and a higher incidence of VTE. D-dimer was more strongly associated with VTE, although its discriminative ability was poor, while CRP was a stronger predictor of hospital mortality. Their use outside the usual indications should not be modified and should be discouraged.

Objective. To evaluate if the use of the 19 Leptospira strains panel suggested by the International Leptospirosis Society of World Health Organization for microagglutination allows confirmation of more cases that the 12 strains panel used in Argentina. Materials and methods. Cross-sectional observational study. We studied 441 serum samples corresponding to Argentinean patients with suspected leptospirosis derived during from July to December, 2009 and from January to October, 2013. Results. The same number of positive samples was obtained using the MAT with the 19 or 12 strains. In six cases a serovar of the expanded collection was presumably infecting, but always coagglutinated with strains of the reduced panel. Conclusion. In Argentina, the diagnosis of leptospirosis by MAT could be made using the reduced 12 strains panel, obtaining the same result in case detection as using the 19 strains panel. Additional information provided by the use of all strains could be the presumably infecting serogroup.

Objetivo. Evaluar si el uso del panel de 19 cepas de leptospiras, sugerido por la Sociedad Internacional de Leptospirosis para la microaglutinación (MAT, por sus siglas en inglés), permite mayor confirmación de casos que el de 12 cepas. Material y métodos. Estudio observacional de corte transversal. Se estudiaron 441 muestras de sueros de pacientes de Argentina, derivadas para el diagnóstico de leptospirosis en los periodos de julio de 2009 a diciembre de 2010 y enero a octubre de 2013. Resultados. Se obtuvo el mismo resultado con el panel reducido que con el ampliado. En seis casos resultó presumiblemente infectante algún serovar del panel ampliado, aunque siempre coaglutinando con cepas del reducido. Conclusión. En Argentina, el diagnóstico de leptospirosis por MAT podría continuar realizándose con el panel reducido, lo que reduciría el costo y tiempo de diagnóstico. La información adicional que aportaría el panel ampliado está relacionada con la epidemiología, mediante un mejor conocimiento del serogrupo presumiblemente infectante.

Objetivou-se verificar a associação entre tempo de limpeza e preparo de sala cirúrgica (TLPS) com o porte cirúrgico, bem como relacionar facilidades e dificuldades atribuídas a essa tarefa pelos circulantes de sala. Método misto com abordagem quantitativa transversal, retrospectiva, com amostra de 3095 cirurgias realizadas de janeiro a junho de 2011, e abordagem qualitativa pela Análise de Conteúdo Temática acerca do discurso de 11 circulantes. A média do TLPS foi menor nas cirurgias de porte 1, aumentando nos portes 2, 3 e 4 com diferença significativa. As facilidades relatadas foram sobre organização e dimensionamento de pessoal, e as dificuldades, sobre materiais perfurocortantes misturados ao instrumental cirúrgico e número reduzido de profissionais da limpeza. Quanto maior o porte cirúrgico, maior o TLPS. As equipes atuantes no Centro Cirúrgico interferem diretamente no processo, facilitando ou dificultando o alcance das metas institucionais de qualidade e produtividade.

The objective was to verify the association between time needed for room cleaning (TLPS) and the surgery size, and related advantages and difficulties faced by the circulator of the room assigned to this task. A mixed method, with a transverse quantitative, retrospective approach, using a sample of 3095 surgeries performed, from January to June 2011, and a qualitative approach using a Thematic Content Analysis of statements from 11 circulators, was used. The average TLPS was smaller in size 1 surgeries, increasing in sizes 2, 3 and 4, with a significant difference. Advantages reported included organization and size of staff, and difficulties reported related to sharp, bladed materials mixed with surgical instruments and a reduced number of cleaning professionals. The larger the size, the higher the TLPS. Surgical teams operating in the Surgical Center interfere directly in the process, facilitating or hindering the achievement of institutional goals related to quality and productivity.

OBJETIVO: Verificar a exeqüibilidade de enxerto aorto-femoral por via laparoscópica. MÉTODO: Operamos porco de 75 kg sob anestesia geral. Empregando a técnica do avental (apron) de Dion, expusemos a aorta por laparoscopia. Brevemente, em decúbito dorsal horizontal, dissecamos um "avental" do peritônio parietal esquerdo. A dissecção prosseguiu com rotação medial do cólon esquerdo. O avental, posteriormente fixo à linha mediana, serviu de anteparo às alças intestinais. Pinçamos a aorta e realizamos enxerto aorto-femoral com o tempo abdominal totalmente laparoscópico. RESULTADO: O enxerto foi realizado com sucesso, e o fluxo sangüíneo na prótese foi demonstrado através da incisão femoral. CONCLUSÃO: O enxerto aorto-femoral experimental laparoscópico é exeqüível através da exposição com a técnica do avental.

OBJECTIVE: To verify the feasibility of the aortofemoral laparoscopic bypass. METHOD: We operated on a 75-kg pig under general anesthesia. The aorta was exposed using Dion's "apron" technique. Briefly, the animal was placed in supine position and the parietal peritoneum was dissected away from the left of the midline. The dissection proceeded with medial rotation of the left colon. This constructed apron (parietal peritoneum, left colon and mesocolon, in continuity) was sutured to the midline. It served to keep the sliding bowel away from the operative field. After clamping the aorta, we performed an aortofemoral bypass with a totally laparoscopic abdominal time. RESULT: The bypass was successfully performed, and the blood flow through the prosthesis was considered adequate when verified at the femoral incision. CONCLUSION: The experimental laparoscopic aortofemoral bypass is feasible using the apron exposure technique.

In March-April 1998 in a neighborhood in the city of Santa Fe, Argentina, there was an outbreak of an acute disease characterized by fever, headaches, and intense myalgias. This article presents the studies surrounding this outbreak and the attempts to identify the source and the mode of transmission. The epidemiological, serological, and clinical findings indicated that the causative agent was Leptospira interrogans. As a screening test, macroscopic agglutination with heat-resistant antigen was applied, followed by the ELISA test, and, as a confirmatory test, microscopic agglutination for 10 serotypes of L. interrogans. The study covered 32 persons, 8 dogs, and 8 water samples. Among the 32 persons, 12 cases were confirmed, 2 were suspicious, and 18 were negative. Six dogs were found to be infected, and motile spirochetes were found in the water samples. The human sera reacted with the ballum, canicola, icterohaemorrhagiae, and pyrogenes serotypes; the canine sera reacted with the ballum, canicola, and pomona serotypes. The coagglutination found in all the confirmed cases indicates that they were acute cases of leptospirosis, but it was impossible to identify the causal serotype. Except for the index case, the disease was not recognized clinically. Several facts suggest that the outbreak was caused by rain that had flooded the study area. The results of this study emphasize the need for active surveillance of leptospirosis when there are floods and other natural disasters.

En marzo-abril de 1998 se identificó en un barrio de la ciudad de Santa Fe (Argentina) un brote de una enfermedad aguda caracterizada por fiebre, cefaleas y mialgias intensas. Se presentan los estudios realizados en relación con este brote y los intentos de identificación de la fuente y del modo de transmisión. Los hallazgos epidemiológicos, serológicos y clínicos indicaron que el agente causal fue Leptospira interrogans. Como prueba de tamizaje se aplicó la técnica de aglutinación macroscópica con antígeno termorresistente, seguida de la prueba de ELISA y, como prueba de confirmación, la aglutinación microscópica frente a 10 serovariedades de L. interrogans. Se estudiaron 32 individuos, 8 perros y 8 muestras de agua. Se registraron 12 casos confirmados, 2 probables y 18 negativos. En seis perros se demostró la existencia de infección y en las muestras de agua se detectó la presencia de espiroquetas móviles. Los sueros humanos reaccionaron con las serovariedades ballum, canicola, icterohaemorrhagiae y pyrogenes, y los caninos con ballum, canicola y pomona. La coaglutinación observada en todos los casos confirmados indica que se trató de casos agudos de leptospirosis, pero no permite identificar la serovariedad causal. Salvo en el caso índice, no se reconoció clínicamente la enfermedad. Varios hechos sugieren que la causa del brote fue la inundación pluvial de la zona estudiada. Los resultados de este estudio resaltan la necesidad de una vigilancia activa de la leptospirosis ante desastres naturales como las inundaciones.
