Texto completoObjetivo: A Cirurgia VÃdeoendoscÃpica tem inicio no final do sÃculo vinte, como uma grande inovaÃÃo da medicina, porÃm sà recentemente tem sido explorado seu potencial. Os endoscÃpicos tem sidos utilizados atualmente para realizar uma variedade de procedimentos diagnÃsticos e terapÃuticos. A aquisiÃÃo de novos conhecimentos e habilidades sÃo exigidos pela tÃcnica que obriga, tanto ao novo cirurgiÃo como atà mesmo ao cirurgiÃo mais experiente, buscar conhecimentos, treinamentos, habilitaÃÃo e credenciamento no novo mÃtodo operatÃrio para que possa exercer a medicina cirÃrgica da atualidade. A videoendoscopia na ginecologia oncolÃgica ainda nÃo esta completamente definida, pois somente nos Ãltimos dez anos à que o desenvolvimento da cirurgia endoscÃpica de mÃnimo acesso tem tido uma marcante expansÃo nas suas aplicaÃÃes. A preservaÃÃo da funÃÃo ovariana nas mulheres jovens que tem cÃncer de colo uterino em estÃgio precoce, linfomas Hodgkin e nÃo Hodgkin e de carcinoma colo retal que necessitam submeter-se a radioterapia externa e interna, a videoendoscopia tem sido usada como mÃtodo cirÃrgico com a finalidade de minimizar os efeitos da radiaÃÃo, à um procedimento seguro e eficaz na preservaÃÃo da funÃÃo ovarina. O objetivo deste trabalho foi transpor os ovÃrios de cadÃver fetal para fora da regiÃo pÃlvica e reposicionÃ-los o mais alto possÃvel na parede lateral do abdÃmen, fixando-os com fios e grampos metÃlicos.
Objectives: Videoendoscopic surgery began at the end of twentieth century as a great innovation however; only in recent years its potential role has been explored. The endoscopes have been used to carry out a variety of diagnosis and therapeutic procedures. The acquisition of knowledge and habilities required by the technique obligates both the inexperienced surgeon and the experienced one, to seek information, training, qualification, and accreditation on new operative method in order to practice present time surgical medicine. Minimum access endoscopic surgery had an outstanding expansion on its applications for the past 10 (ten) years; due to this the Videoendoscopic is not totally defined within the oncologic gynecology. The preservation of ovarian function on young women that have precocious stage uterine colon cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and colon carcinoma â rectal that requires external and internal radiotherapy, the Videoendoscopic has been used as a surgical method in order to minimize the radiation effects, because it is a safe and effective procedure to preserve the ovarian function. The purpose of this work was to transpose the ovaries in human corpse fetus to outside the pelvic region and replace them in the highest possible point on the abdomen sidewall. Methods: Videolaparoscopic fixation of the ovaries with purse-string suture and clips. Two 18.9 in. (48cm) and 19.7 in (50cm), weighting 6.8 and 7.3 pounds (3.1 and 3.3 (kilograms) respectively, human fetus corpses were used. All the equipments and Videoendoscopic surgery instruments were used The usage of human material as a way of training provided the activity the possibility to carry out in similar conditions and of identical anatomy, whenever coming across surgery with alive individuals. Conclusion: the purpose of this work represents a perfectly feasible method of carrying out, training practice importance and surgeon improvement for the ovarian function preservation.

Texto completoCongenital heart disease (CHD) are the most common congenital malformations and the main cause of mortality for congenital anomaly during the first year of life. During the past decades, the increase of survival of these babies, as a result of improved surgical techniques and postoperative support measures, has diverted the attention to the high number of these children that presents neurological impairment. Initially, this neurological morbidity was attributed to cardiac surgery and its complications, but in recent years several studies has showed that babies with CHD already have brain abnormalities immediately after birth and before cardiac surgery. These findings have focused the attention on a possible prenatal origin of brain injury in these babies. In this thesis we demonstrated that it is possible to identify changes in brain development of fetuses with CHD from very early stages of pregnancy to term using different imaging techniques (ultrasound and MRI). We have also shown how, regardless of the type of CHD, there are other variables (cephalic biometry and brain Doppler) that can help us to identify which fetuses with CHD present greater risk of abnormal brain development. From a clinical perspective, the use of specific brain predictors might be incorporated as part of the comprehensive assessment at the time of clinical diagnosis of CHD. An individualized prediction of the risk of abnormal neurodevelopment could improve parental counseling and facilitate early-life interventions that have been shown to improve brain development in other infants at risk.

Texto completoPara a produção de anticorpos monoclonais contra Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis foram utilizadas as linhagens de células de mieloma Sp2/0-Ag14 e células de baço de camundongos BALB/c imunizados com sonicado de C. fetus subsp. venerealis NCTC 10354. A detecção dos anticorpos monoclonais foi realizada por ELISA indireto utilizando antígeno sonicado de C. fetus subsp. venerealis NCTC 10354. A clonagem foi realizada por diluição limitante e os clones foram caracterizados por ELISA indireto utilizando um painel de bactérias sonicada escolhidas em função da prevalência e habitats: C. fetus subsp. venerealis NCTC 10354, C. fetus subsp fetus ADRI 1812, C. sputorum biovar sputorum LMG 6647, C. lari NCTC 11352 e Arcobacter skirrowii LMG 6621; e no "western blotting" utilizando antígenos sonicados de C. fetus subsp. venerealis NCTC 10354 e C. sputorum biovar sputorum LMG 6647. Foram obtidos 15 clones produtores de anticorpos anti C. fetus subsp. venerealis das classes IgM (1) e IgG (14). Quatro clones dentre os 15 clones obtidos foram produtores de anticorpos monoclonais espécie-específicos: dois clones reagiram com maior especificidade contra C. fetus subsp venerealis NCTC 10354 e dois clones reagiram com maior especificidade contra C. fetus subsp fetus ADRI 1812. Nenhum dos clones reagiu contra C. sputorum biovar sputorum LMG 6647, comprovando a especificidade dos anticorpos monoclonais testados. Todos os clones reconheceram uma proteína de massa molecular de aproximadamente 148 kDa no sonicado de C. fetus subsp. venerealis NCTC 10354.

Texto completoUma reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) baseada na seqüência 23S do DNA ribossomal foi desenvolvida para detecção de C. fetus em lavados prepuciais de touros. Foram avaliados três métodos de extração de DNA nos lavados prepuciais: o método do tiocianato de guanidina, o da lise alcalina e do Chelex 100. Para determinar a especificidade do teste, amostras de referência de Campylobacter SP, Helicobacter SP e Escherichia coli forma submetidas a PCR. Lavados prepuciais de 47 touros de uma propriedade com diagnóstico de Campilobacteriose Genital Bovina foram testados pela PCR e imunofluorescência direta (IFD). Somente amostras de C. fetus subps. venerealis e C. fetus subps. fetus foram amplificadas e o limite de detecção da PCR em lavado prepucial foi de 3,8 x 102 CFU/ml de C. fetus. A especificidade do produto amplificado foi confirmada pela análise de restrição frente à enzima Ava II. Oito touros foram considerados infectados pelas duas técnicas, porém três animais só foram positivos à PCR e sete somente na IFD. A PCR padronizada mostrou-se eficiente na detecção de C. fetus em amostras de lavado prepucial, nas condições trabalhadas.

Texto completoStrategies for genetic diagnosis of fetuses with congenital malformations. Genotype-phenotype correlations. Constitutional chromosomal abnormalities represent one of the main causes of congenital abnormalities in the population, and their diagnosis during pregnancy is the main objective of most invasive procedures. Nowadays, conventional karyotyping is the gold standard for prenatal cytogenetic diagnosis, but recent technological advances have led to the development of molecular cytogenetic techniques which offer much higher resolution. Since there is still not a consensus on the role of these techniques in prenatal diagnosis, the goals of the present PhD work have been: a) to determine the diagnostic potential and usefulness of karyotype and molecular cytogenetic techniques Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH), Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) and Chromosomal Microarray-based Analysis (CMA) in prenatal diagnosis, especially in pregnancies with ultrasound findings; and b) to establish the need for modifications in current prenatal cytogenetic diagnostic protocols. The results obtained: - Corroborate the effectiveness and robustness of conventional karyotyping. The observed detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities in 29,883 consecutive amniotic fluid samples has been 2.9%, with increased nuchal translucency and ultrasound abnormalities being excellent indicators for chromosomal abnormalities. - Suggest that subtelomeric screening in pregnancies with ultrasound findings and normal karyotype is not a crucial tool, as detection rate of subtelomeric imbalances is low (1.3%; 3/229), and genotype-phenotype correlations are poor. - Reveal that FISH of 22q11.2 region is preferred to MLPA kits specific for this chromosome region and other genomic regions previously associated with congenital heart defects. - Reveal a strong association between cardiac ultrasound findings and chromosomal abnormalities, both microscopic and cryptic. In pregnancies with cardiac findings, the observed frequency of microscopic chromosomal abnormalities and chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome has been 15.9% (44/276) and 6.4% (5/78), respectively. Moreover, CMA has been performed in 51 fetuses with cardiac ultrasound findings, normal karyotype and negative or no FISH study for chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and the detection rate of pathogenic copy number variants has been 2%, without detection of variants of unknown clinical significance. If in the initial series of 276 pregnancies the strategy QF-PCR + CMA would have been applied; all the chromosomal abnormalities with clear clinical repercussion diagnosed by conventional cytogenetics would have been identified, together with the deletions of 22q11.2 region and an extra 2% of chromosomal abnormalities. These results show the potential of CMA for the prenatal diagnosis of these pregnancies. - Show the usefulness of the molecular cytogenetic techniques FISH, MLPA and CMA when used as a complement to conventional karyotyping in cases with chromosomal abnormalities not accurately characterizable by conventional cytogenetics. Accordingly, the results obtained suggest the need for updating current prenatal cytogenetic diagnostic protocols.

Texto completoMyelomeningocele (MMC) is a congenital malformation characterized by the extrusion of the spinal cord as a result of a lack of fusion of vertebral arches leading to a neurological lesion. Motor prognosis of neonates affected by MMC is usually established after birth by the examination of lower limb movements to determine the neurological level of lesion. We propose that, in a similar manner, a systematic ultrasound evaluation of lower-limb movements in fetuses with MMC should be performed to explore the prenatal neurological level of lesion and provide the prognosis for future ambulation before birth. Objectives: To establish the correlation between the prenatal and postnatal neurological level in fetuses with MMC repaired in utero, to assess the reliability of the interpretation of the technique for the ultrasound evaluation of the prenatal neurological level, to correlate the prenatal neurological level with the anatomical level of lesion, to assess the evolution of the neurological level in cases not operated prenatally and to describe the MMC cases evaluated in Hospital Universitari Vall d’Hebron. Methods: prospective observational study including fetuses with MMC operated on prenatally. The patterns of movements in the affected fetuses’ lower limbs were evaluated systematically by ultrasound examination by a maternal-fetal medicine expert and a specialist in rehabilitation. According to the known nerve function associated with each muscle group, the segmental level of neurological lesion was established before birth. All ultrasound scans were recorded and, afterwards, were analyzed by two observers, with different levels of experience, who interpreted each recorded scan to assign the neurological level, two different times and blinded to each other’s results. The agreement for the neurological levels assigned, between the prenatal ultrasound technique and the classical neurological clinical examination after birth, was tested using the weighed kappa (wκ) index. The same index was used to establish the agreement between neurological level and anatomical level and to test the inter-observer and intra-observer reproducibility. Results: Ninety-three fetuses with MMC were evaluated. After counseling, the parents opted for prenatal surgery (26 cases), termination of pregnancy (48 cases) or postnatal repair (2 cases). Five patients did not fulfil the inclusion criteria for prenatal surgery and three were excluded after birth. In the 18 fetuses that underwent surgery and were analyzed, the agreement between prenatal and postnatal neurological levels assigned was 91.7% for the right limb (wκ=0.80) and 88.9% for the left limb (wκ = 0.73). The agreement between neurological level and anatomical level was 62.0% (wκ=0.024). Twenty-eight scans were recorded and evaluated to assess the reproducibility. The agreement between the observers and the expert in maternal-fetal medicine remained constant for the observer with greater experience (wκ=0.82) and increased (wκ=0.66 - wκ=0.72) for the other one. Inter-observer and intra-observer variability for the most experienced observer were wκ=0.72 and wκ=0.94, respectively. Conclusions: The agreement found between prenatal and postnatal assignment of neurological level of lesion in this study shows that the evaluation of neurological level is feasible before birth. The agreement for the prenatal evaluation of the neurological level was excellent for observers with different degrees of expertise. This technique of ultrasound evaluation of lower-limb movements has the potential to provide accurate individualized information about the ambulation prognosis of fetuses with MMC operated on prenatally.
