Screening y selección de pacientes candidatos a un tratamiento frente al VHC en usuarios de drogas
2009
El screening de la hepatitis C está indicado en cualquier población en la cual hay más riesgo del esperado para detectar la infección. Una de estas poblaciones es la formada por los usuarios de drogas intravenosas en cualquier periodo de sus vidas o la de los que inhalan cocaína. Los programas de Metadona son situaciones ideales para realizar este screening, reducir el riesgo de infección y aconsejar hábitos de vida saludables. Virtualmente todos los individuos que han estado expuestos al VHC, tendrán un test de anticuerpos positivo; los individuos que han resuelto la infección tendrán anticuerpos frente al virus pero no virus detectable. Sólo los test virológicos puede hacer esta determina…
Calidad asistencial y tratamiento psicológico de las drogodependencias
2006
Las drogodependencias son uno de los mayores problemas de salud pública en nuestro país, pero las instituciones sanitarias han rehusado tradicionalmente el abordaje integral de este tipo de trastornos. Se reivindica la necesidad en aras de una mayor calidad asistencial, de incluir a todos los efectos el abordaje integrado de estos trastornos entre las prestaciones del sistema sanitario público. Se incluye por tanto la condición de poder ofertar en todos los casos una adecuada asistencia y tratamiento psicológico, dado que en la actualidad es ésta una atención prioritaria en este tipo de desórdenes. Se señalan algunas de las aportaciones de los tratamientos psicológicos a la mejora de la cal…
Prevención y control del tabaquismo: avances y retos en la aplicación del Convenio Marco de la OMS en España
2010
En este artículo se revisa la situación actual y las tendencias observables del tabaquismo en España en todo lo relacionado con su prevalencia e impacto sanitario. En base a esta situación se resumen los avances recientes que se han producido en nuestro país en materia de prevención y control del tabaquismo, así como los retos pendientes para alcanzar los compromisos que España adquirió cuando en el año 2003 firmó su adhesión al Convenio Marco de la OMS para el Control del Tabaquismo, ratificándolo en 2004. Entre las medidas que requieren un mayor compromiso político para seguir avanzando destacan: a) la ampliación de la Ley 28/2005 para asegurar la protección frente al humo ambiental de ta…
Canagliflozin and Renal Events in Diabetes with Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation and Study of Diabetic Nephropathy with Atrasentan : what …
2019
Albuminuria; Atrasentan; Canagliflozin Albuminuria; Atrasentan; Canagliflozina Albuminúria; Atrasentan; Canagliflozina In April 2019, two major Phase 3 randomized clinical trials were published that assessed primary renal outcomes in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The Canagliflozin and Renal Events in Diabetes with Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation (CREDENCE) tested an already available antidiabetic drug, canagliflozin, and the Study of Diabetic Nephropathy with Atrasentan (SONAR) tested a novel molecule, the endothelin-1 receptor blocker atrasentan, both on top of renin-angiotensin system blockade. Both trials demonstrated significant nephroprot…
Research update for articles published in EJCI in 2016
2018
The association of an excessive blood pressure increase with exercise (i.e., an increase in systolic blood pressure with exercise ≥95th percentile) with lower risk of subsequent events in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease has been consistently verified even in those with baseline hypertension. Nonetheless, this negative association, also confirmed in another study on a Japanese population, might depend on peak VO2, such that the prognostic value of blood pressure response might be limited in patients with preserved exercise capacity. In addition, a hypertensive response with exercise (defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥220 mmHg during the test) has also been associ…
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…
