ABSTRACT

La obesidad en este momento representa una de las peores amenazas del sector salud. El acelerado aumento de la prevalencia y mortalidad a causa de enfermedades cardiovasculares establece un precedente histórico como problema de salud pública mundial. La elevada incidencia de obesidad y enfermedades crónicas ha llevado a múltiples áreas de la salud a entender y buscar un detonante claro que explique esta patología. Existen numerosas causas que explican su comportamiento agresivo, progresivo y crónico. Sin embargo, ninguna de ellas satisface como el solo factor desencadenante que ofrezca un tratamiento único que genere una reducción de su rápida expansión. En este artículo se buscan explicar las principales causas relacionadas con esta entidad así como los mecanismos que lo demuestran, para lograr entender el abordaje adecuado de los pacientes que acuden buscando el manejo de la obesidad (modelo COD2).


Obesity is currently considered as one of the major life-threatening conditions affecting the healthcare system. The accelerated increase in prevalence and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases establishes an historical precedent as a global public health issue. The increased incidence of obesity and chronic diseases, has led multiple health researchers to try to identify a clear triggering factor contributing to obesity. There are numerous causes which explain its aggressive, progressive and chronic behavior. However, they do not satisfactorily elucidate a unique triggering factor which would determine a unique treatment to help decelerate its rapid expansion. This article seeks to explain the major causal factors and mechanisms leading to obesity, in order to find the most appropriate approach for obese patients seeking treatment options (COD2 model).

ABSTRACT

In July 2007 in Medellín, Colombia, 1 200 health care professionals were asked to complete a questionnaire: of the 493 who participated, the mean age was 31.2 years; 58.8 percent were physicians; and 97.6 percent had Internet access, 60.5 percent on a daily basis and 27.7 percent, weekly. The preferred place to access the Internet was from home (58 percent) or from the work place (12.5 percent); 98 percent reported having a cell phone, and of those, 80 percent were interested in using health education tools via cell phone. These are the first data published regarding Internet and cellular phone penetration among health care workers in Colombia. Acceptance of the Internet and mobile systems as health information tools is gaining, and as such, creating a new opportunity for training and harnessing of these new technologies.

ABSTRACT

La aplicación de métodos sistematizados de pronóstico en las UCI de USA ha mejorado ostensiblemente la atención de los pacientes que requieren monitorización permanente de sus constantes vitales, gracias a la creación del APACHE como instrumento eficaz para tal fín según la literatura anglosajona. Ante esto y la parte de rutinización de este registro en Colombia, se estudian 51 pacientes admitidos en la UCI de la Clínica el Bosque, aplicado el test APACHE II, encontrando valores pronósticos altamente específicos dentro de las primeras 24 horas de su ingreso, determinando la necesidad de posteriores trabajos interhospitalarios
