Of all the major illnesses, mental or physical, depression has been one of the toughest to subdue. Despite the ubiquity of antidepressant drugs — there are now 26 to choose from — only a third of patients with major depression will experience a full remission after the first round of treatment, and successive treatments with different drugs will give some relief to just 20 to 25 percent more.

No decorrer deste ano houve diversas manifestações de interesse pela história da Cirurgia Cardíaca no Rio Grande do Sul, numa época em que tive a ventura de participar da equipe inicial, aprender e contribuir para seu desenvolvimento e atenção aos pacientes e seus familiares.
Tenho várias lembranças da época que pretendo mobilizar. Encontrei há poucos dias alguns documentos que vou aproveitar antes do fim deste ano de colocar a disposição dos interessados.
Tratam-se de relatórios meus sobre os primeiros momentos (1961) e também a tese do Professor José Hilário sobre Hipotermia, apresentada por ocasião de seu concurso para a Cátedra de Clínica Cirúrgica na UFRGS (1959)





Postado no dia 02/01/2014: Mensagem do amigo e cirurgião Paulo Prates:
Caros amigos  Achuttis: desejo que o 2014 traga muitas coisas boas para vocês. Muito obrigado pelos documentos postados. São importantes para a nossa história. Tenho  a data de fevereiro de 1962 como a em que foi realizada a primeira cirurgia com CEC. O seu relatório é de 1961 e o número de cirurgias realizadas em Poa  é 21, com 12 EM. Todas a " céu fechado" ?. Ficaram bem ?  Não sabia que o Dr. Renan tinha feito cirurgia cardíaca.  Foi sòmente 1? Um grande abraços para vocês     PPrates

Estimulado pelo interesse do Paulo vou colocar a seguir o relatório que fiz correspondente ao primeiro trimestre de 1962. Naquele período, como poderão ver foram feitas 6 cirurgias com CEC. As EM do ano anterior forma todas comissurotomias fechadas. Que eu lembre todas ficaram bem, pretendo ver se tenho mais informações em meus guardados. O Renan só fez uma comissurotomia que eu assisti, e tenho uma vaga ideia que não teria sido no bloco cirúrgico da Enf 30 ???
Uma fofoca que me ficou muito marcada na época se relaciona com as discussões de casos que fazíamos no anfiteatro da Enf 38 (Serviço do Faraco, onde as poltronas "modernas" tinham até cinzeiro no braço das cadeiras...). Todas as semanas discutíamos os casos com provável indicação cirúrgica do período. Lembro-me bem sobre as discussões entre usar CEC ou comissurotomia convencional para EM: quando a máquina de CEC estava funcionando bem a indicação era sempre de usá-la, quando estava estragada, achava-se mais vantajosa a indicação convencional, mesmo em casos eletivos...

I Had My DNA Picture Taken, With Varying Results

Ozier Muhammad/The New York Times
Kira Peikoff, 28, had her DNA tested by three direct-to-consumer companies, and the results didn't agree.

Science Twitter Logo.
I like to plan ahead; that much I knew about myself before I plunged into exploring my genetic code. I’m a healthy 28-year-old woman, but some nasty diseases run in my family: coronary heart disease,rheumatoid arthritisAlzheimer’s and breast cancer.
Pathway found that Kira Peikoff had an average genetic risk of psoriasis, top, while 23andMe assessed it as higher than average, and Genetic Testing Laboratories as low.

Readers’ Comments


So I decided to read the tea leaves of my DNA. I reasoned that it was worth learning painful information if it might help me avert future illness.
Like others, I turned to genetic testing, but I wondered if I could trust the nascent field to give me reliable results. In recent years, a handful of studies have found substantial variations in the risks for common diseases predicted by direct-to-consumer companies.
I set out to test the tests: Could three of them agree on me?
The answers were eye-opening — and I received them just as one of the companies, 23andMe, received a stern warning from the Food and Drug Administration over concerns about the accuracy of its product. At a time when the future of such companies hangs in the balance, their ability to deliver standardized results remains dubious, with far-reaching implications for consumers./.../

Serotonin Syndrome

Know the Symptoms of Serotonin Syndrome

People being treated for depression later in life often have additional conditions -- such as diabetes or hypertension -- that require medications. When some of these medications are taken with antidepressants, serious problems may arise.
Even some antidepressant combinations can be dangerous. For example, combining antidepressants that increase blood levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin -- which include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and selective serotonin/ norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs) -- has the potential to produce serotonin syndrome.
Serotonin syndrome causes altered mental status, neuromuscular abnormalities and dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary reflexes that affect breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and the digestive tract.
Seek medical attention right away if you experience agitation or restlessness, diarrhea, fast heartbeat, hallucinations, increased body temperature, loss of coordination, nausea, overactive reflexes, rapid changes in blood pressure, and vomiting.
The watch list. Serotonin syndrome is of greatest concern for patients taking monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors. These patients should absolutely avoid taking other antidepressants because of the risk of potentially fatal interactions. Another dangerous combination to avoid is taking a tricyclic antidepressant with other tricyclics. Antidepressant combinations are sometimes necessary to treat severe depression -- but they require careful monitoring by the physician and patient.
Combining serotonin-boosting antidepressants with other medications that elevate serotonin levels can also lead to serotonin syndrome. These medications include:
  • the Parkinson's drug selegiline (Eldepryl)
  • antibiotics such as erythromycin (Erythrocin) and linezolid (Zyvox)
  • anti-psychotic medications such as risperidone (Risperidol) and olanzapine (Zyprexa)
  • pain relievers such as meperidine (Demerol) and tramadol (Ultram)
  • migraine medications such as sumatriptan (Imitrex), naratriptan (Amerge), rizatriptan (Maxalt) and zolmitriptan (Zomig)
  • antiretroviral therapy for HIV
  • lithium (Eskalith and Lithobid)
  • dextromethorphan (Delsym)
  • St. John's wort
  • amphetamines

2013: The Year in 365 Pictures

Felipe Dana—AP
Jan. 1, 2013. Young residents watch fireworks exploding over Copacabana beach during new year celebrations at the Pavao Pavaozinho slum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Looking back, 2013 has proven to be a turbulent, unsettling year. Americans were rocked by the terror attack at the Boston Marathon that left three dead and more than 250 wounded. In Bangladesh, a garment factory collapsed, taking with it the lives of more than 1000 workers in one of the worst industrial disasters in history. In the Middle East, the promise of the Arab Spring seemed extinguished by the military overthrow of Egypt’s first democratically elected President and the killing of hundreds of Egyptians in the streets of Cairo.
This year also marked a difficult start to Barack Obama’s second term in office, facing numerous challenges domestically and abroad. The murder trial of George Zimmerman, meanwhile – which ended in acquittal — and the continued debates on gay marriage reminded us that, half a century after the March on Washington and JFK’s assassination, the issues of gun violence and civil rights are still very much with us.
It was a year of departures and arrivals: In England, the country bid farewell to its “Iron Lady,” Margaret Thatcher, and a “royal baby” George arrived. And at the Vatican, the troubled reign of Pope Benedict came to a close with his surprise resignation, Jorge Mario Bergoglio (now Pope Francis) was elected as the first Pontiff to reign from the Americas.
These were just some of the countless topics that touched the world’s collective conscious in 2013. We hope this edition of 365: A Year in Pictures marks the past as history and beckons a welcome step into 2014.
