Two-year effects of semaglutide in adults with overweight or obesity: the STEP 5 trial
2022
AbstractThe STEP 5 trial assessed the efficacy and safety of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg versus placebo (both plus behavioral intervention) for long-term treatment of adults with obesity, or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity, without diabetes. The co-primary endpoints were the percentage change in body weight and achievement of weight loss of ≥5% at week 104. Efficacy was assessed among all randomized participants regardless of treatment discontinuation or rescue intervention. From 5 October 2018 to 1 February 2019, 304 participants were randomly assigned to semaglutide 2.4 mg (n = 152) or placebo (n = 152), 92.8% of whom completed the trial (attended t…

Short-term effects of kinesio taping in the treatment of latent and active upper trapezius trigger points : two prospective, randomized, sham-control…
2019
Este es el artículo que se ha publicado de forma definitiva en: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-51146-4 The presence of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) is one of the most common causes of musculoskeletal problems and may lead to limited professional activity. Among the various treatment methods proposed for MTrPs, Kinesio Taping (KT) is a non-invasive, painless, and less time-consuming method with fewer side efects that has become widely used as a therapeutic tool in a variety of prevention and rehabilitation protocols. The aim of the study was to evaluate the immediate and short-term efcacy of the space correction KT technique in patients with latent or active MTrPs in the upp…
Pooled analysis of who surgical safety checklist use and mortality after emergency laparotomy
2019
Background The World Health Organization (WHO) Surgical Safety Checklist has fostered safe practice for 10 years, yet its place in emergency surgery has not been assessed on a global scale. The aim of this study was to evaluate reported checklist use in emergency settings and examine the relationship with perioperative mortality in patients who had emergency laparotomy. Methods In two multinational cohort studies, adults undergoing emergency laparotomy were compared with those having elective gastrointestinal surgery. Relationships between reported checklist use and mortality were determined using multivariable logistic regression and bootstrapped simulation. Results Of 12 296 patients incl…
Epidemiology and treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the minor salivary glands: a meta-analytic study.
2010
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the epidemiological aspects of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and to evaluate the different therapeutic possibilities as well as the percentage of survival. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective, meta-analytic, observational study was carried out by selecting a total of 13 articles, which provided a sample size of 263 cases of patients who had been diagnosed with ACC in the minor salivary glands. RESULTS: ACC was found to be more common among women (56.5%) and the average age at diagnosis was 55.26 years old. The primary location of the tumor was in the palate in 57% of the cases, the predominant pattern being cribiform. The treatment of choice was therapy combined with surg…
Changes in a patient with neck pain after application of ischemic compression as a trigger point therapy
2010
Objective To describe the immediate effects of ischemic compression (IC) as a trigger point therapy in a case of a patient with neck pain. The application of IC is a safe and effective method to successfully treat elicited myofascial trigger points. The purpose of this method is to deliberate the blockage of blood in a trigger point area in order to increase local blood flow. This washes away waste products, supplies necessary oxygen and helps the affected tissue to heal. In this case study, we treated a 27-year-old female patient with a medical report of neck pain for at least four months. The physical examination revealed a neck pain and stiffness at the left side and pain increases when …
La eclosión de la sarcopenia: Informe preliminar del Observatorio de la Sarcopenia de la Sociedad Española de Geriatría y Gerontología
2011
Resumen La sarcopenia es un sindrome geriatrico frecuente e importante para la practica clinica diaria de los profesionales que trabajan con personas mayores. El numero de personas mayores afectadas y su relacion con la incapacidad, la fragilidad, muchas enfermedades, habitos de vida y resultados adversos son de gran relevancia para la practica geriatrica. Ademas, los cambios biologicos que conducen a la perdida de fuerza y masa muscular se relacionan intrinsecamente con los mecanismos del envejecimiento. No es, por tanto, sorprendente que la investigacion en este campo este creciendo exponencialmente en los ultimos anos y que la sarcopenia se haya colocado en los ultimos anos en el primer …
Lo bueno, si breve, dos veces bueno a veces
2007
Los bebedores pueden distribuirse dentro de un continuum, de acuerdo con su nivel de riesgo y problemas. Las intervenciones deberían distribuirse y administrarse también sin solución de continuidad, incluyendo desde la prevención hasta la rehabilitación.La intervención breve es una de las mejores estrategias para reducir la carga morbosa del alcohol; por otra parte, los pacientes dependientes deberían ser tratados con intervenciones amplias y personalizadas con años de seguimiento. Breve y extenso al mismo tiempo, ¿es una contradicción?Se presenta una reflexión en torno a la ampliación de la base del tratamiento y la necesidad de identificar las dimensiones psíquica , física y social dentro…
Changes in Body Composition in Anorexia Nervosa : Predictors of Recovery and Treatment Outcome
2015
The restoration of body composition (BC) parameters is considered to be one of the most important goals in the treatment of patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). However, little is known about differences between AN diagnostic subtypes [restricting (AN-R) and binge/purging (AN-BP)] and weekly changes in BC during refeeding treatment. Therefore, the main objectives of our study were twofold: 1) to assess the changes in BC throughout nutritional treatment in an AN sample and 2) to analyze predictors of BC changes during treatment, as well as predictors of treatment outcome. The whole sample comprised 261 participants [118 adult females with AN (70 AN-R vs. 48 AN-BP), and 143 healthy controls].…
Antifungal activity of natamycin and development of an edible film based on hydroxyethylcellulose to avoid Penicillium spp. growth on low-moisture mo…
2022
Abstract This study aimed to investigate natamycin's in vitro antifungal activity against Penicillium strains and determine its antifungal effect on Mozzarella cheese slices contaminated with P. commune. Besides, the residual content of natamycin in the samples was assessed during the storage. Natamycin was either sprayed on the cheese surface or incorporated into an edible hydroxyethylcellulose film at concentrations of 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg/dm2. Natamycin showed an antifungal effect against all Penicillium strains with MIC values ranging from 1.6 to 3.1 μg/mL and MFC values ranging from 12.5 to 200.0 μg/mL. Moreover, both applied techniques significantly (p ≤ 0.05) reduced the population…
