La aceptación de la enfermedad: una forma de prevención del SIDA
2002
Poner a prueba la eficacia de un programa de prevención dirigido a la población de personas seropositivas. El programa emplea la intervención entre iguales para incre¬mentar la adaptación positiva de la enfermedad (APE) como elemento facilitador de la implicación en el sexo seguro. El programa incluye información sobre sexo seguro y de riesgo y sobre las vías de transmisión del VlH, así como psicoterapia de grupo combina¬da con técnicas dirigidas al incremento de la conciencia corporal. La conciencia corpo¬ral puede ayudar a los pacientes a liberar tensiones psicológicas, y estimular el afronta¬miento de aquellos aspectos que tratan de negar. Hipotetizamos que la sustitución de estrategias …
Marco Internacional de Acciones. VIH/SIDA, Tuberculosis, Malaria y Drogas
2002
El SIDA/VIH en el marco las enfermedades infecciosas, y en su relación con el consumo de drogas ha sido considerado por el Consejo Nacional de Seguridad de los EE.UU. como una cuestión de seguridad mundial y una amenaza para la democracia global. En este trabajo se expone de modo esquemático el estado actual a escala mundial de la investigación e intervención económica y social respecto a este problema fundamen¬talmente dentro del ámbito de proyección de la Unión Europea, Naciones Unidas y las respectivas Organizaciones Mundiales de la Salud, del Desarrollo Económico y del Comercio.
Hospitalización en enfermedades infecciosas
2004
Las características psicológicas, culturales y sociales de los pacientes con SIDA, muchas veces asociadas al consumo de drogas, generan cuestiones sobre el funcionamiento de los servicios de internamiento de las enfermedades infecciosas, organizadas de forma convencional.Responder a las necesidades de los pacientes creando condiciones de trabajo para los profesionales, implica reinventar la organización del trabajo y romper con las formas tradicionales de articulación, contando con la red de apoyo a la comunidad y teniendo en cuenta la continuidad de los cuidados.
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…
Respiratory support in patients with severe COVID-19 in the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection (ISARIC) COVID-19 study: a …
2022
Invasive mechanical ventilation; COVID-19; Critical care Ventilación mecánica invasiva; COVID-19; Cuidado crítico Ventilació mecànica invasiva; COVID-19; Atenció crítica Background Up to 30% of hospitalised patients with COVID-19 require advanced respiratory support, including high-flow nasal cannulas (HFNC), non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV), or invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, outcomes and risk factors for failing non-invasive respiratory support in patients treated with severe COVID-19 during the first two years of the pandemic in high-income countries (HICs) and low middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods This is a multin…
CT angiography for the assessment of EVAR complications : a pictorial review
2022
Aortic aneurysm; Blood vessel prosthesis implantation; Endovascular procedures Aneurisma aórtico; Implantación de prótesis de vasos sanguíneos; Procedimientos endovasculares Aneurisma aòrtic; Implantació de pròtesis de vasos sanguinis; Procediments endovasculars Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive treatment proposed as an alternative to open repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. EVAR consists in a stent-graft placement within the aorta in order to exclude the aneurysm from arterial circulation and reduce the risk of rupture. Knowledge of the various types of devices is mandatory because some stents/grafts are more frequently associated with complication…
Prognosis Impact of Diabetes in Elderly Women and Men with Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
2021
Few studies have addressed to date the interaction between sex and diabetes mellitus (DM) in the prognosis of elderly patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS). Our aim was to address the role of DM in the prognosis of non-selected elderly patients with NSTEACS according to sex. A retrospective analysis from 11 Spanish NSTEACS registries was conducted, including patients aged ≥70 years. The primary end point was one-year all-cause mortality. A total of 7211 patients were included, 2,770 (38.4%) were women, and 39.9% had DM. Compared with the men, the women were older (79.95 ± 5.75 vs. 78.45 ± 5.43 years, p <
Baseline CHA 2 DS 2 ‐VASc score and prognosis in octogenarians with non‐ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome
2021
Background CHA2DS2-VASc Score is widely used to predict thromboembolic risk in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF). We sought to study if this score predicts outcomes in elderly patients with Non-ST segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes (NSTEACS). Methods The multicenter LONGEVO-SCA prospective registry included 532 unselected patients with NSTEACS aged ≥80 years. Data to calculate CHA2DS2-VASc Score were available in 523 patients (98.3%). They were classified according to CHA2DS2-VASc Score: group 1 (score ≤ 4), and 2 (5-9). We studied outcomes in terms of mortality or readmission at 6 months follow-up. Results A total of 266 patients (51%) had a high CHA2DS2-VASc Score (group 2). …
Active paraplegics are protected against exercise-induced oxidative damage through the induction of antioxidant enzymes
2016
Exercise improves functional capacity in spinal cord injury (SCI). However, exhaustive exercise, especially when sporadic, is linked to the production of reactive oxygen species that may have a detrimental effect on SCI. We aimed to study the effect of a single bout of exhaustive exercise on systemic oxidative stress parameters and on the expression of antioxidant enzymes in individuals with paraplegia. The study was conducted in the Physical Therapy department and the Physical Education and Sports department of the University of Valencia. Sixteen paraplegic subjects were submitted to a graded exercise test (GET) until volitional exhaustion. They were divided into active or non-active group…
