Histopathologically characterized by the progressive accumulation of peptide Aβ and TAU protein. Markers of damage that begin to accumulate decades before symptoms can be detected. However, during the early stages of the disease, systemic inflammation and cortical/hippocampal hyperactivity have been revealed present in patients. In the following review, we present a perspective on how neuroinflammatory processes and pathological cortical hyperexcitability contribute to the onset and development of the early stages of AD. We present a current summary of the basic and clinical evidence that allows us to understand the complexity and heterogeneity of this pathology. Finally, we briefly collect and analyze the main therapeutic strategies that have been studied to reduce the phenotype of neuronal hyperactivity directly or indirectly.","PeriodicalId":287456,"journal":{"name":"Revista Hospital Clínico Universidad de Chile","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134478947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ideal is the use of autologous cartilage graft since it meets biocompatibility characteristics and resembles an ideal graft. The costal cartilage is a good alternative since it has characteristics similar to septal cartilage, with the advantage of offering a larger amount of material to work with and it does not deform over time. Clinical case: male, 31 years old, admitted due to a hit to the face with a blunt object. It evidenced complex facial fracture, with Le Fort I components on the right and Le Fort III components on the left, as well as a left naso-orbital-ethmoid fracture. It performs reduction and intermaxillary fixation. It performs nasal reconstruction with a double nasal cartilage graft and bone graft for the back, and septal cartilage graft to construct the columella stem. It plans secondary rhinoplasty with a seventh rib graft correct the saddle nose defect. Outpatient follow-up at 14 and 30 days with favorable cosmetic results. Discussion: This procedure generally gives good results with a low complication rate. In the latest systematic reviews with an average follow-up of 14.4 months (6-96 months) they concluded that in the donor area the most frequent complication was the development of scars in the surgical site with 2.08% (0. 31-4.83%) and pneumothorax was close to 0% (0-0.46%). In the recipient area, the most frequent were graft retraction with 3.05% (1.35-5.19%) and 1.45% (0.34-3.06%) of infection of the recipient area. Conclusion: With the presentation of this clinical case, you can observed that the use of costal cartilage in secondary rhinoplasty is an achievable option, with good results in the short and medium term, in addition to having a low rate of complications, but a team of experienced plastic surgery must perform it. \u0000Fecha recepción: noviembre 2022 | Fecha aceptación: febrero","PeriodicalId":287456,"journal":{"name":"Revista Hospital Clínico Universidad de Chile","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132016533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fecal biomarkers could be useful to select patients with suspected organic diseases for colonoscopy, with the aim to improve early diagnosis and to avoid unnecessary invasive studies. Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a protein found mainly in neutrophils that is released into the feces as a result of cell disruption and apoptosis. Currently, FC is a simple and non-invasive biomarker of intestinal inflammation. Inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders are associated with high levels of FC, as occurs in IBD. This review focuses on FC as a useful tool for differential diagnosis between IBS and IBD in adults.","PeriodicalId":287456,"journal":{"name":"Revista Hospital Clínico Universidad de Chile","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117238586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
