La hidrosadenitis supurativa es una enfermedad prevalente caracterizada por una marcada variabilidad clínica y por una intensa repercusión sobre la calidad de vida de los pacientes. Esta actualización recoge los últimos avances sobre la hidrosadenitis supurativa tras llevar a cabo una minuciosa revisión de la literatura científica. Indudablemente el médico de Atención Primaria desempeña un papel fundamental en el diagnóstico precoz y en el tratamiento de la hidrosadenitis supurativa. Con esta actualización pretendemos ofrecer una visión global, actualizada y práctica sobre la enfermedad que permita optimizar el uso de los recursos disponibles en la consulta de Atención Primaria (AU)
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a prevalent disease that is noted for its clinical variability and by its severe impact on quality of life. A meticulous scientific literature review is presented in this article in order to give an update on what is known on this condition. Primary Care physicians obviously play an important role in the early diagnosis and management of hidradenitis suppurativa. This review aims to provide a current and practical overview about this disease in order to optimise the healthcare for these patients by making the best use of available resources (AU)

La pigmentación de las papilas fungiformes (PPF) es considerada una condición fisiológica, cuya etiopatogenia es desconocida. La PPF es relativamente frecuente en pacientes de raza negra o asiática, pese a lo cual, no suele aparecer reflejada en los principales tratados de dermatología o pediatría. Su diagnóstico es sencillo y exclusivamente clínico, si se conoce la entidad (AU)
Pigmentation of fungiform papillae (PFP) is considered a physiological condition, although the pathogenesis remains unclear. PPF is relatively common in African or Asian patients. However, this condition does not usually appear reflected in principal dermatology´s textbooks. When the entity is known, its diagnosis is simple and exclusively clinical (AU)

Introducción: El síndrome de movilidad articular limitada (SMAL) aparece exclusivamente en pacientes con diabetes, tanto tipo 1 como tipo 2. Se manifiesta como una limitación en la movilidad articular que inicialmente afecta a las falanges proximales de las manos, seguidas, por orden de frecuencia, por muñecas, codos, hombros, rodillas y esqueleto axial. El diagnóstico se puede realizar mediante pruebas sencillas, como «el test de la oración». El objetivo fue conocer la prevalencia de pacientes diabéticos con SMAL, evaluar la asociación entre el SMAL y el grado de control glucémico y el riesgo de caídas accidentales. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio observacional transversal en el Centro de Salud de San Fernando II, Madrid (periferia). La muestra fueron 184 pacientes con un diagnóstico de diabetes superior a 5 años entre noviembre-marzo de 2013. Se utilizó el test de la oración para evaluar si los pacientes presentaban SMAL. El riesgo de caídas fue determinado según el test Timed Up & Go. Resultados: Un total de 99 pacientes (53,8%) (IC 95% 46,6-61) presentaron un test de la oración positivo. No se obtuvo una relación estadísticamente significativa con la HbA1c, en cambio, sí que se vio una asociación entre el test Timed Up & Go y el SMAL (p < 0,001) (IC 95% 1,173-1,611). Los pacientes con SMAL presentaban un riesgo moderado de caídas frente a aquellos sin SMAL, que presentaban un riesgo bajo. Conclusiones: Existe una alta prevalencia de SMAL en nuestro medio. Presentamos el primer estudio en donde se relaciona el SMAL con el riesgo de caídas en los pacientes diabéticos (AU)
Introduction: Limited joint mobility syndrome (LJMS) appears exclusively in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. It is characterized by a limited range of digital motion, with involvement of small joints of the hands. It initially affects the proximal interphalangeal joints, followed by wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, and axial skeleton. The diagnosis can be made by the simple «prayer sign» test. The objective was to study the prevalence of diabetic patients with LJMS, and to evaluate the association between LJMS and metabolic control, and the risk of accidental falls. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the San Fernando II Health Centre, Madrid (suburbs). The sample consisted of 184 patients with a diagnosis of diabetes of over 5 years from November to March, 2013. The prayer sign was used to define which patients had LJMS. Fall risk was determined using the Timed Up & Go test. Results: A total of 99 patients (53.8%) (95% CI 46.6 to 61) had a positive prayer sign. No statistically significant relationship was found with HbA1c, but there was an association with the Timed Up & Go test (P < .001) (95% CI 1.173 to 1.611). The patients with LJMS had a moderate risk of falls compared with those without LJMS, which was of low risk. Conclusions: The prevalence of LJMS is high. This is the first study that shows a relationship between LJMS and the risk of falls in diabetic patients (AU)
