In a woman's life, asthma can affect her in a variety of ways, with the onset of premenstrual asthma currently under-diagnosed. It is estimated that about 20% of women with asthma have premenstrual asthma, which is more common in patients with severe asthma. Women with asthma are at high risk of exacerbations and of severe asthma. Asthma is the most common chronic disease during pregnancy with potential maternal and foetal complications. Asthma medications are safe for the foetus and it is essential to continue pre-existing treatment and adapt it to the progress of asthma during the pregnancy. Sex steroids modulate the structure and function of bronchial and immune cells. Understanding their role in asthma pathogenesis is complicated by the ambivalent effects of bronchodilating and pro-inflammatory oestrogens as well as the diversity of response to their association with progesterone. Menopausal asthma is a clinical entity and is part of one of the phenotypes of severe non-allergic and low steroid-sensitive asthma. Targeted assessment of the domestic and professional environment allows optimization of asthma management. INTRODUCTION Despite sensitization of medical students toward the donation of organs, a non-negligible percentage of students are not in favor of donation. OBJECTIVE To analyze the reasons of Spanish medical students who do not have a favorable attitude toward the donation of their own organs after death. METHOD The population under study is medical students in Spanish universities, using the database of the International Donor Collaborative Project, stratified by geographic area and academic year. The questionnaire completion was anonymous and self-administered. The study group is medical students with an unfavorable attitude toward organ donation. The assessment instrument used is a validated questionnaire of attitude toward the donation of organs for transplant, "PCID-DTO-Ríos." The reasons against the donation are valued in the questionnaire through a question. RESULTS Of the participants included in the PCID, students who are not in favor of organ donation were selected (n = 1899). Of them, 8.1% (n = 154) are against and 91.1% (n = 1745) are doubtful. The main reasons indicated are the fear of apparent death in 11.4% of respondents, fear of possible mutilation after donation in 11.1%, and religious reasons in 2.6%. Of those, 6.9% indicate other reasons but do not clearly specify the reasons, using words such as "fear" (2.5%) or "doubts about the process" (4.1%); 66.2% (n = 1257) indicated an "assertive refusal" ("I don't want to express my reasons"). CONCLUSION Twenty percent of Spanish medical students are not in favor of donating their organs and are not in favor of showing their reasons. BACKGROUND Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) represents a marker of bad prognosis in left heart disease. Nonetheless, the effect on survival after heart transplant remains controversial. The objective was to study the impact of preoperative PAH on survival in patients undergoing elective heart transplant. METHODS A retrospective study of 173 transplant recipients was conducted at a single hospital from January 2009 to December 2018. Congenital etiology and emergent heart transplant were exclusion criteria as well as those patients without enough data in the hemodynamic study. Two groups were considered A (without PAH) and B (with HTP). PAH was classified as mild (mean pulmonary arterial pressure [mPAP] 25-34 mm Hg, pulmonary vascular resistance [PVR] 2.5-3.4 Wood units and/or transpulmonary gradient [TPG] 13-16 mm Hg), moderate (mPAP 35-44 mm Hg, PVR 3.5-4.9 Wood units and/or TPG 17-19 mm Hg), and severe (mPAP > 44 mm Hg, PVR > 4.9 Wood units and/or TPG > 19 mm Hg). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/kp-457.html RESULTS A total of 102 patients were enrolled; 71.6% were male and average age was 52.3 (SD, 10.02) years. The main etiology was ischemic cardiomyopathy; 13.7% underwent previous heart operations. A total of 61 patients (59.8%) had PAH prior to heart transplant 25 mild, 34 moderate, and 2 severe. Mean overall survival after transplant was 79.9 (SD, 5.68) months, without differences between the 2 groups (P = .82). One-month survival was 89% (the main cause of mortality was primary graft dysfunction), and 1-year survival was 78%. Four patients required mechanical circulatory support during early post-transplant period. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative PAH does not have a significant impact on survival in elective heart transplant. INTRODUCTION Living kidney donation (LKD) is one of the most used alternatives in the field of organ transplantation. OBJECTIVE Analyze the attitude toward LKD among the population of Havana, Cuba. METHODS Population under study. Population resident in Havana, Cuba. INCLUSION CRITERIA Sample of population over 15 years stratified by age and sex. INSTRUMENT Validated questionnaire of attitude toward donation and transplant "PCID-DVR-Ríos," self-administered and anonymously filled out. STATISTICS χ2, Student t test, and a logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 920 respondents have been included in the study. A total of 85.5% (n = 787) are in favor of the related LKD. In our study, 26.5% (n = 244) would remain in favor of unrelated LKD. Regarding the related LKD, the following variables remain independent in the multivariate analysis 1. having studies (odds ratio [OR] = 3.649; P = .018); 2. attitude toward cadaveric organ donation (OR = 8.547; P less then .001); 3. religion (OR = 4.385; P = .001); 4. opinion of the couple (OR = 4.672; P = .028); and 5. risk with living donation (OR = 10.989; P = .003). CONCLUSIONS The population of Havana has a very favorable attitude toward related LKD. Only a quarter of respondents are in favor of unrelated LKD. Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common neoplasm in the liver, with a very poor, short-term prognosis. Today, surgery associated with or without an adjuvant is the only curative treatment. Liver transplantation (LT) is the best treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma tumor. In recent years, treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma by LT associated with neoadjuvant therapy has been studied under a criterion. But could it be possible to apply LT like the curative treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCC)? Initially the answer is no, but there are different studies about incidental LT in patients with iCC that demonstrate survival over 40% to 50%. In our center, we conducted a review of 468 transplants completed between 2002 and 2018, and we identified 1 case of incidental LT in a patient with iCC with an overall survival of 10 years. Because there is currently an increase in donors owing to the expansion of the criteria, a study to consider extending the criteria of LT to include iCC would be beneficial.
