La actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular en la comunidad “Orlando Nodarse” del municipio Mariel / Physical activity and cardiovascular risk in the community “Orlando Nodarse” of Mariel municipality La actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular en la comunidad “Orlando Nodarse” del municipio Mariel / Physical activity and cardiovascular risk in the community “Orlando Nodarse” of Mariel municipalityObjetivo: describir los factores de riesgo cardiovascular y el grado de asociación entre la inactividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular global estimado.Materiales y Métodos: se realizó un estudio explicativo de observacional de casos y controles, entre enero ynoviembre del 2017, en la comunidad “Orlando Nodarse”. Se trabajó una población de 488 individuos con edades entre 50 y 69 años, se obtuvo una muestra de 224 pacientes. Fue aplicado como método teórico el análisis documental y como métodos empíricos sendos cuestionarios para obtener datos relativos a la existencia de factores de riesgo y elnivel de actividad física, mediciones antropométricas, de presión arterial y determinaciones de glicemia y colesterol total. La estimación del riesgo cardiovascular se realizó utilizando las tablas de riesgo de la OMS/ISH. La variable de independencia fue el nivel de inactividad física, como variable de respuesta el riesgo cardiovascular global. Fue utilizado para determinar la asociación de variables el coeficiente de contingencia, con un nivel de significación estadística de 0,05.Resultados: se demostró alta prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiovascular y la asociación entre el bajo nivel de actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular global.Conclusiones: existe asociación entre el bajo nivel de actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular elevado; fueron elconsumo de tabaco y la hipertensión arterial los factores de riesgo cardiovascular más frecuentes.ABSTRACTObjective: to describe the cardiovascular risk factors and the degree of association between physical inactivity and the estimated global cardiovascular risk. Materials and Methods: an observational observational study of cases and controls was conducted between January and November 2017, in the “Orlando Nodarse” community. A population of 488 individuals aged between 50 and 69 years was studied, a sample of 224 patients was obtained. The documentary analysis was applied as a theoretical method and as empirical methods two questionnaires to obtain data related to the existence of risk factors and the level of physical activity, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure and determinations of glycemia and total cholesterol. The estimation of cardiovascular risk was performed using the WHO / ISH risk tables. The independence variable was the level of physical inactivity, as a response variable the global cardiovascular risk. Force used to determine the association of variables the coefficient of contingency, with a level of statistical significance of 0.05.Results: high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and the association between low level of physical activity and global cardiovascular risk were demonstrated.Conclusions: there is an association between low level of physical activity and high cardiovascular risk; tobacco consumption and high blood pressure were the most frequent cardiovascular risk factors.Keywords: cadiovascular risk; cardiovascular disease; cardiovascular prevention; physical activity.

Nefrolitiasis de infección: caso clínico / Nephrolithiasis of infection: clinical caseNefrolitiasis de infección: caso clínico / Nephrolithiasis of infection: clinical caseSe presenta un caso de litiasis de infección, conocida con el nombre de cálculos de estruvita y asociado a una enfermedad metabólica subyacente y diabetes mellitus tipo 2 de reciente debut, el cual se manifestó con oliguria e infección, como resultado de una obstrucción urinaria bilateral parcial. El paciente de 48 años de edad, con antecedentes de cardiopatía isquémica, hipertensión arterial y de expulsar cálculos de riñón, consultó su caso el 21 de enero de 2009. Manejaba cifras de creatinina, glicemia y acido úrico normales anterior al ingreso y estas tuvieron un comportamiento ascendente durante la obstrucción, excepto el ácido úrico. En el diagnóstico aportaron datos de interés la ecografía renal y de próstata, la Uro-TAC y gammagrafía renal con MAG-3. El diagnóstico diferencial incluyó toda causa extrínseca e intrínseca, esta última relacionada con cálculos, coágulos o papila renal necrosada, que provocaran alteración al libre flujo urinario. Se estableció como patrones de buena evolución, la recuperación del volumen urinario, la normalización de la glucemia y creatinina, así como la permanencia del urocultivo  negativo. El manejo terapéutico motivó a la utilización de la nefrolitotomía percútanea como una de las opciones que ofrecen los procederes endorulógicos, además del control de las enfermedadesde base,lo que resultó una favorable evolución del caso.Palabras clave: LITIASIS RENAL, DIAGNÓSTICO, OBSTRUCCIÓN URETRAL / tratamiento.ABSTRACTA clinical case of lithiasis of infection is presented, known as calculi of struvite associated to an underlying metabolic disease and diabetes mellitus type-2 of recent onset, with oliguria and infection as a result of a partial bilateral urinary infection. A 48 years-old patient having medical records of ischemic heart disease, hypertension and expulsion of kidney stones attended to the office in January 21, 2009 presenting normal values of creatinine, glycemia and uric acid before the admission; these values increased during the obstruction, except the uric acid. Renal and prostate imaging, the Uro-Computerized axial tomography and renal scintigraphy with MAG-3 showed data of interest. Differential diagnosis included extrinsic and intrinsic causes, the last one related to calculi, clots or renal necrotic papilla causing disorder of the free urinary flow. Patterns of good progress were established: recovery of the urinary volume, normal levels of glycemia and creatinine and a permanent negative uroculture. Therapeutic management motivated the use of percutaneous nephrolithotomy as one of the choices for endourologic procedures, as well as the control of the underlying diseases, being favorable for a good progress of the case.Key words: NEPHROLITIASIS, DIAGNOSIS, URETHRAL OBSTRUCTION/treatment.
