ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The increase in the number of people with upper limb spasticity as a sequela of cerebrovascular disease, which negatively impacts their autonomy, functional independence and participation, and affects their quality of life, calls for the application of precise and objective instruments for its measurement and evaluation. OBJECTIVE: To assess the validity and reliability of the Tardieu scale in the evaluation of upper extremity spasticity in adults with cerebrovascular disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The search strategy was implemented in eight databases; the systematic review protocol was registered beforehand in INPLASY (with registration no. 2023110076). The evidence was synthesised in three phases: a tabular presentation of results, an evaluation of the quality of the articles, and a narrative synthesis of the findings. RESULTS: Only three of the 33 articles identified fulfilled the variables that enable the validity and reliability of the Tardieu scale to be established. The measurements of angles and velocities R1, R2 and R2-R1 were analysed. Student's t-test to assess the reliability between the measurements of R1 and R2; and angles R2 and R2-R1 showed statistical significance, which confirmed the reliability of the scale. CONCLUSIONS: The Tardieu scale proved robust. It is important to note that the sample size, the time of evolution of the disease and the age of the patients may influence the results of the scale.


TITLE: Validez y fiabilidad de la escala de Tardieu para evaluar la espasticidad en miembro superior en adultos con enfermedad cerebrovascular. Revisión sistemática.Introducción. El incremento en el número de personas con espasticidad en los miembros superiores como secuela de una enfermedad cerebrovascular, que impacta negativamente en la autonomía, la independencia funcional y la participación, y afecta a la calidad de vida de las personas, demanda la aplicación de herramientas clínicas precisas y objetivas para su medición y evaluación. Objetivo. Evaluar la validez y la fiabilidad de la escala de Tardieu en la evaluación de la espasticidad en las extremidades superiores de adultos con enfermedad cerebrovascular. Materiales y métodos. La estrategia de búsqueda se implementó en ocho bases de datos; el protocolo de revisión sistemática se registró previamente en INPLASY (registro n.o 2023110076). La síntesis de la evidencia se llevó a cabo en tres fases: presentación tabular de resultados, evaluación de la calidad de los artículos y síntesis narrativa de los hallazgos. Resultados. De los 33 artículos identificados, sólo tres cumplieron con las variables que permiten establecer la validez y la fiabilidad de la escala de Tardieu. Se analizaron las medidas de los ángulos y velocidades R1, R2 y R2-R1. La prueba de la t de Student para evaluar la fiabilidad entre las medidas de R1 y R2; los ángulos R2 y R2-R1 mostraron significancia estadística, lo que confirmó la confiabilidad de la escala. Conclusiones. La escala de Tardieu demostró robustez. Es importante considerar que el tamaño de la muestra, el tiempo de evolución de la enfermedad y la edad de los pacientes pueden influir en los resultados de la escala.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: La artritis reumatoide (AR), espondilitis anquilosante, psoriasis (Ps), artritis psoriásica (APs) están mediadas por factor de necrosis tumoral (TNF). El objetivo es el diseño multidisciplinar de un protocolo personalizado de agentes biológicos en enfermedades reumáticas y dermatológicas. Métodos: Se seleccionaron pacientes con AR, APs, espondiloartritis y Ps que recibían etanercept o adalimumab durante al menos 6 meses ininterrumpidamente. La monitorización terapéutica consideró criterios bioquímicos y criterios clínicos. Rangos terapéuticos óptimos de adalimumab: 5-8 μg/mL para AR y APs, 3.2-7 μg/mL para Ps y 4.6-12 μg/mL para espondiloartritis. Rangos óptimos de etanercept fueron: 2-3 μg/mL para AR y espondiloartritis, y 2-7 μg/mL para Ps y APs. Resultados: Se realizaron propuestas de optimización del tratamiento en pacientes con adecuada respuesta clínica y niveles de fármaco biológico superiores al rango terapéutico óptimo. Si la propuesta de optimización fue aceptada por facultativo, se valoró percepción de la enfermedad del paciente al primer y tercer mes. Los pacientes con niveles plasmáticos de fármaco inferiores al rango terapéutico óptimo, ausencia de anticuerpos anti-fármaco y adecuada respuesta clínica fueron propuestos a optimización de tratamiento mediante discontinuación o espaciamiento de administración. Los pacientes con niveles plasmáticos de fármaco inferiores al rango óptimo y anticuerpos anti-fármaco fueron propuestos a cambio de tratamiento o discontinuación, si se pudiera alcanzar control de enfermedad. Conclusiones: Este protocolo permite la personalización terapéutica de etanercept y adalimumab para enfermedades inflamatorias inmunomediadas en áreas de dermatología y reumatología. La implantación del protocolo podría mejorar la eficacia, seguridad, conveniencia y eficiencia de etanercept y adalimumab. (AU)


Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis (Ps), psoriatic arthritis (PAs) are mediated by tumor necrosis factor (TNF). The objective is the multidisciplinary design of a personalized protocol of biological agents in rheumatic and dermatological diseases. Methods: Patients with RA, PAs, spondyloarthritis and Ps receiving etanercept or adalimumab for at least 6 months uninterruptedly were selected. Therapeutic monitoring considered biochemical criteria and clinical criteria. Optimal therapeutic ranges of adalimumab were: 5-8 μg/mL for RA and APs, 3.2-7 μg/mL for Ps and 4.6-12 μg/mL for spondyloarthritis. Optimal ranges of etanercept were: 2-3 μg/mL for RA and spondyloarthritis, and 2-7 μg/mL for Ps and APs. Results: Proposals were elaborated to optimize treatment in patients with adequate clinical response and levels of biological drug higher than the optimal therapeutic range. If the optimization proposal was accepted by the physician, the patient’s perception of disease was evaluated at the first and third months. Patients with plasma drug levels below the optimal therapeutic range, absence of anti-drug antibodies and adequate clinical response were proposed for treatment optimization by discontinuation or spacing of administration. Patients with plasma drug levels below the optimal range and anti-drug antibodies were proposed in exchange for treatment or discontinuation -if disease control could be achieved-. Conclusions: This protocol allows the therapeutic personalization of etanercept and adalimumab for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases in areas of dermatology and rheumatology. Implementation of the protocol could improve the efficacy, safety, convenience and efficiency of etanercept and adalimumab. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La obesidad es una enfermedad crónica que afecta aproximadamente al 25% de la población española, ocasionando una elevada morbimortalidad y costes sanitarios asociados. Objetivo. Evaluar la efectividad de un programa de intervención sobre los estilos de vida en pacientes obesos atendidos en régimen de hospital de día (HD). Métodos. Estudio de intervención prospectivo no controlado realizado en pacientes obesos atendidos en el HD de Endocrinología y Nutrición del Hospital Puerto Real, e incluidos en un programa de modificación de estilos de vida hasta alcanzar una pérdida de peso mínima >= 5%. Resultados. Se estudiaron 262 pacientes de 44,6 ± 16,0 años (71% mujeres) con un peso, índice de masa corporal y perímetro de cintura inicial de 110,4 ± 21,1 kg, 41,6 ± 6,6 kg/m2 y 120,5 ± 13,2 cm, respectivamente. Los pacientes que continuaron el seguimiento perdieron una media de 4,8 ± 4,8 kg (n = 165) y 7,0 ± 6,2 kg (n = 48) a los 3 y 6 meses respectivamente, alcanzando el objetivo de pérdida de peso >= 5% el 51,5% de los pacientes (n = 135). No se observaron diferencias significativas en la pérdida de peso en ninguna de las variables clínicas o de modalidad de seguimiento analizadas. El 43,5% de los pacientes abandonó voluntariamente el seguimiento sin cumplir el objetivo propuesto. Conclusión. La intervención sobre los estilos de vida en pacientes obesos atendidos en HD permite lograr pérdidas moderadas de peso a medio plazo, alcanzando una pérdida de peso >= 5% aproximadamente la mitad de los pacientes (AU)


Introduction: Obesity is a chronic disease that affects approximately 25% of the Spanish population, causing high morbidity and associated healthcare costs. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program on lifestyles in obese patients treated in a day hospital scheme. Methods: A prospective non- controlled intervention study was conducted on obese patients treated in the Endocrinology and Nutrition day hospital, Puerto Real University Hospital, and included in program of lifestyle modification to achieve a weight loss of >= 5% minimum. Results: We studied 262 patients with a mean age of 44.6 ± 16.0 years (71% women) with an initial weight, body mass index and waist circumference of 110.4 ± 21.1 kg, 41.6 ± 6.6 Kg/m2 and 120.5 ± 13.2 cm, respectively. Patients who continued in the study lost an average of 4.8 ± 4.8 kg (n = 165) and 7.0 ± 6.2 kg (n = 48) at three and six months, respectively, with 51.5% (n = 135) patients reaching the weight loss goal of >= 5%. There were no statistically differences in weight loss between any clinical or follow-up variables analysed. 43.5% of patients voluntarily left the study without reaching the weight loss goal. Conclusion: The intervention on lifestyles in obese patients treated in a day hospital achieves moderate weight loss in the medium term, with half of patients achieving a weight loss >= 5% (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: en el año 2005 se publicó en Andalucía el Proceso Asistencial Integrado (PAI) Fibromialgia para dotar de un protocolo válido de actuación a los profesionales sanitarios ante los pacientes con esta patología. En el año 2009 se decidió realizar un documento que permitiera la adaptación del PAI al Área Sanitaria del Hospital Universitario Puerto Real para facilitar su implantación. Objetivo: desarrollar un documento de consenso sobre la implantación del PAI Fibromialgia en el Área Sanitaria del Hospital Universitario Puerto Real realizado por representantes de las principales especialidades sanitarias que intervienen en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de dicha patología, así como representantes de las asociaciones de pacientes. Método: se revisó el documento de la Junta de Andalucía sobre el PAI Fibromialgia y los nuevos aspectos sobre dicha patología en la literatura médica actual, intentando adaptarlos a la realidad asistencial de los centros sanitarios dependientes del Hospital Universitario Puerto Real. Se emplearon algunas de las técnicas habituales para realizar consensos (grupo nominal y brainstorming). Conclusión: el PAI Fibromialgia editado por la Junta de Andalucía es un documento que, aunque importante, no se puede implementar como tal en la realidad asistencial de los centros sanitarios dependientes del Hospital Universitario Puerto Real. Tomando dicho documento como base se creó un documento de implantación del proceso, para ello se contó con la participación y consenso de Especialistas de Atención Especializada Hospitalaria y Atención Primaria así como de las Asociaciones de Pacientes con Fibromialgia. Este documento está permitiendo la implementación progresiva del PAI Fibromialgia en el Área Sanitaria del Hospital Universitario Puerto Real (AU)


Introduction: an integrated healthcare process for fibromyalgia -Proceso Asistencial Integrado (PAI) Fibromialgia- was published in 2005 in Andalusia to provide healthcare professionals with a valid protocol for the management of patients with this disease. In 2009 a decision was made to write a document allowing PAI to be adapted to the healthcare area served by Hospital Universitario de Puerto Real in order to facilitate its implementation. Objective: to develop a consensus document on the implementation of PAI Fibromialgia in the healthcare area served by Hospital Universitario de Puerto Real by representatives of the major healthcare specialties involved in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition, as well as representatives of patient associations. Method: the document published by Junta de Andalucía on the PAI Fibromialgia project, and the new aspects of this disease in the current medical literature were all reviewed in an attempt to adjust this process within the actual practice of healthcare centers served by Hospital Universitario de Puerto Real. Some common consensus techniques were used (nominal group and brainstorming). Conclusion: the PAI Fibromialgia paper edited by Junta de Andalucía is a document that, while relevant, cannot be implemented as such within the actual practice of healthcare centers served by Hospital Universitario de Puerto Real. Based on this paper a process implementation document was developed with the aid and consensus of in-hospital specialized care and primary care specialists, as well as fibromyalgia patient associations. This document is now allowing the gradual implementation of PAI Fibromialgia in the healthcare area served by Hospital Universitario de Puerto Real (AU)

ABSTRACT

La tendinopatía rotuliana, como enfermedad ocupacional es un proceso de cierta relevancia en paises de nuestro entorno que precisa no solo profundizar en su sustrato anatomo-patológico sino también en estrategias terapéuticas, preferentemente de tipo conservador. Y entre estas últimas, la realización de un programa de entrenamiento excéntrico de cuádriceps sobre plataforma inclinada de 30º podría ser de gran interés. En nuestro estudio participaron 46 adultos varones en edad laboral con un diagnóstico clínico de tendinopatía rotuliana confirmado por ecografía. Como parámetros de estudio se ha recurrido tanto a variables subjetivas (Escala Visual Analógica de 100 mm) como objetivas (pruebas de imagen [ecografía] y recuperación de la actividad profesional habitual) Aunque condicionados por lo limitado del tamaño muestral, nuestros resultados nos permiten concluir con la recomendación de realizar ejercicios excéntricos (sentadillas) sobre una plataforma inclinada de 30º. Futuros estudios en esta línea de trabajo son necesarios


Paralell with the improved knowledge on the pathophysiology of patellar tendinopathy, new treatment strategies are expected to emerge. 46 male adults clinically diagnosed and imaging confirmed patellar tendinopathy underwent a conservative treatment based on cryotherapy, isometric and eccentric exercises as well as stretching. They were randomly divided into group A (Standard squat program; n=23) and B (30º decline eccentric program; n=23). Eccentric program consisted of 3 sets of 15 repetitions twice a day for 16 weeks. Patients were instructed to perform it with the trunk upright, by slowly flexing the knee to 90º of flexion and returning to starting position using the non-injuried leg. Subjetives (100 mm Visual Analogue Scale [VAS]) and objectives (ultrasonography and return to pre-injury activity) variables were evaluated. We may conclude conservative treatment based on decline eccentric program showed better results than standard squat program. However, since the number of participants was low, these data should be interpreted with caution

ABSTRACT

Muckle-Wells syndrome is characterized by recurrent episodes of urticaria, fever, polyarthralgia, deafness and secondary amyloid (AA type), familial type with autosome dominant features; few cases have been described. A case of a patient with idiopathic interstitial pneumopathy, diagnosed 7 years before the onset of clinical amyloid, is presented. The patient had lymph glands enlargement and nephrotic syndrome and died 18 months later due to renal insufficiency. We have not found this association previously described in any medical literature.
