25 cases of endotoxic shock occurred at the Hospital between 1971 and 1980. It was presented predisposing causes endometritis in 68 percent of cases, both postpartum, cesarean section and abortion, chorioamnionitis in 20 percent hysterectomy in 2 patients and urinary infection in one. It was essentially medical treatment in 7 cases, including patients who died before being taken to the operating room. Surgical treatment consisted of dilatation and curettage in 4 patients, abdominal hysterectomy at 8, 5 exploratory laparotomy and drainage of abscess in a wall. They killed 14 women (56 percent).

OBJECTIVE: To show the clinicopathological features of non-neoplastic cutaneous lesions in women with HIV/AIDS. DESIGN: Descriptive retrospective study. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Biopsies of skin have been taken from 18 women with non–neoplastic cutaneous lesions, and submitted to histopathological and immuno–histochemical studies. RESULTS: Most women were in the age of 20-to-29 years (55,6%), or 30-to-39 years (22,2%), and catalogued as clinical stage B3 (33,3%), or C3 (27,8%). Dermatitis with fibrosis (50%), and granulomatous dermatitis (38,8%) were the commonest cutaneous lesions. We found Candida (44,4%), and Epstein Barr virus (22,2%) as well. CONCLUSIONS: Young women looking for medical care with AIDS indicators, and pruriginous cutaneous lesions, was the predominant picture. Dermatitis with fibrosis and evidence of Candida in cutaneous lesions has been the most frequent diagnosis.

651 pregnant women at 26 to 36 weeks gestation were tested 1 hour with 50 g oral load of glucose (Test 50 g). They are passing the threshold of greater than or equal 130 mg / dl in plasma were suspicious of Gestational Diabetes (SDG). You're were subsequently tested oral glucose tolerance (OGTT) stop the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (BG) according to the criteria of the National Diabetes Data Group. The age of pregnant women was 26.3 ± 6.4 years (mean ± SD), range 16-45 years. 310 pregnant women (47.6%) did not have any risk factors for diabetes mellitus. 57 pregnant women (8.7%) were SDG. 32 (4.9%) underwent OGTT, resulting DG 24 patients (3.7%). There was no significant difference in the incidence of BG in people with risk factors and those that had not. The sensitivity of the test was 50 g of 88.9% and specificity of 95.2%. There were 3 DG not detected by the test; so ...

Se evalúa 639 adolescentes que acudieron al Hospital San Bartolomé y al Instituto San Marcelino entre los años 1977 y 1982, constituyendo el 4,22% del total de usuarias. El 12.67% de los casos tenía menos de 16 años de edad; sólo el 5.45 o/o no tuvo embarazo previo. La mayoría de los casos -64.32%-prefirieron el D.I.U. como método y, en segundo lugar- 18.16% -, la tableta anticonceptiva. En 13.93% se administró progestinas de depósito.  El método más eficaz y con menor porcentaje de fallas -0.74/100 años mujer- fue la tableta anticonceptiva, contra el 3.6 de fallas con el D.I.U. Se observó más complicaciones con el D.I.U -28%- y con la amenaza adicional de complicaciones potenciales.
