Resection of the inferior vena cava may be required in the courses of oncological surgeries for the tumors originating from or invading it. Management of the remaining defect depends on the extension of the resection. Partial or complete replacement of the inferior vena cava, with a patch or interposition graft, may be required. Standard techniques for the reconstruction with a prosthetic material or the autologous veins can be associated with the prosthetic graft infection, high cost, long‐standing anticoagulation, technical difficulties, and/or need for extra incisions. The use of the autologous peritoneum represents an easy and inexpensive alternative for the partial and complete inferior vena cava reconstructions.
RESUMOA Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) é uma doença crônica, prevalente e com crescente incidência, caracterizada por alterações patológicas da secreção e ação da insulina. Está geralmente relacionada a outros fatores de risco cardiovascular, como obesidade, hipertensão arterial e dislipidemias. Estudos têm relacionado a DM2 a doenças que afetam a saúde mental, como depressão e ansiedade. Objetiva-se aqui compreender a relação entre a DM2 e a depressão e ansiedade. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura com os descritores "saúde mental", "diabetes mellitus tipo 2", "depressão" e "ansiedade", utilizando-se referências nacionais e internacionais. Foram selecionados artigos encontrados nas bases SciELO, Pubmed e Google Acadêmico conforme a relevância para a busca. Encontrou-se que indivíduos com DM2 têm de 2 a 3 vezes chances maiores de ocorrer depressão, estando presente em 25% dos pacientes já diagnosticados. A depressão, por sua vez, eleva em 60% o risco de desenvolvimento de DM2, aumentando assim outros riscos subsequentes a exemplo da hiperglicemia, a resistência insulínica, e complicações micro e macrovasculares. A ansiedade é capaz de alterar o eixo hipotalâmico-hipofisário-adrenal e ativar o sistema nervoso simpático, responsável pela síntese de hormônios contra-reguladores, como glucagon, adrenalina, noradrenalina, cortisol e hormônio do crescimento, possibilitando o aumento dos níveis de glicose no sangue por vias catabólicas. Sendo assim, tais doenças têm reações bidirecionais que agravam uma à outra.
Globally, blindness affects more than 7 billion people. In addition to impacting quality of life, it doubles the risk of mortality and has a significant impact on the economy, both in developed and developing countries. However, at least two-thirds of the causes of this onerous outcome are preventable. Blindness can be avoided in two forms: prevention or treatment of its etiologies. Cataract or glaucoma, for instance, are not preventable diseases, but if they are treated, blindness is prevented or reversed. Given these facts, the relevance of establishing blindness prevention strategies is evident, as they effectively are capable of transforming the situation. This article addresses the subject of avoidable blindness reviewing its leading causes worldwide, in addition to presenting a cause that has exemplary been eliminated from one country. Against the expected, the number of blind people has been increasing globally in the last decades, which is hypothesized to be related with the increase in life expectancy. Undoubtedly, an accurate knowledge dissemination of the main causes of blindness to the population, associated with investment in affordable diagnostic and surgical technology must be driven by and put into practice by governments and scientific organizations in order to reduce such large and growing numbers of this avoidable outcome.
