ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Valorar la eficacia del sistema Armeo®Spring para la rehabilitación del miembro superior en pacientes crónicos que han presentado un ictus. Material y métodos: Veintitrés pacientes (17 varones y 6 mujeres), con una edad media ± desviación estándar de 54,6 ± 9,5 años, que presentaban una hemiparesia crónica (cronicidad de 328 ± 90,8 días) secundaria a ictus isquémico (n = 12) o hemorrágico (n = 11), se incluyeron en este estudio. Todos los pacientes completaron 36 sesiones de una hora de duración con el sistema Armeo®Spring y fueron valorados al inicio, al fin y 4 meses después de completar el tratamiento con escalas dirigidas a los dominios de estructura, función y actividad de la Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento, de la Discapacidad y de la Salud (CIF) incluyendo: Ashworth Modified Scale, Motricity Index (MI), Fugl-Meyer ssessment Scale (FM), Motor Assessment Scale (MAS), Manual Function Test (MFT) y Wolf Motor Function (WMFT). Resultados: Un ANOVA de medidas repetidas mostró una mejoría significativa (efecto tiempo) en todas las escalas de función (p < 0,01 en FM y MI) y actividad (p < 0,01 en MAS, MFT, WMFT Habilidad y p < 0,05 en WMFT-tiempo), sin que se apreciaran cambios significativos en el tono muscular. El estudio post hoc (Bonferroni) mostró un patrón de evolución diferente entre las escalas de función y las de actividad, con un beneficio directamente ligado al entrenamiento, especialmente en las escalas de actividad. Conclusiones: El Armeo®Spring constituye una herramienta eficaz para la rehabilitación del miembro superior afectado en pacientes con una hemiparesia debida a un ictus, incluso en estadios crónicos (AU)


Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a gravity-supported, computer-enhanced device (Armeo®Spring) for upper limb rehabilitation in chronic stroke patients. Material and methods: We included 23 chronic hemiparetic patients (chronicity: 328 ± 90.8 days; distribution: 17 men and 6 women) aged 54.6 ± 9.5 years, who had sustained ischaemic stroke (n = 12) or haemorrhagic stroke (n = 11). All patients completed 36 one-hour sessions using the Armeo®Spring system. Arm movement was assessed at the beginning and end of the treatment programme and once more 4 months later. Main outcome measurements covered structure, activity, and function, as per the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: Modified Ashworth Scale, Motricity Index (MI), Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale (FM), Motor Assessment Scale (MAS), Manual Function Test (MFT), and Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT). Results: Repeated measures ANOVA showed significant improvement (time effect) for all function scales (P < .01 for FM and MI) and activity scales (P<.01 for MAS, MFT and WMFT-ability, and P < .05 WMFT-time) without significant changes in muscle tone. The post-hoc analysis (Bonferroni) showed different evolutionary patterns for function and activity measurements, and clear benefits related to Armeo®Spring training, especially on activity scales. Conclusions: Armeo®Spring is an effective tool for rehabilitating the affected arm in patients with hemiparesis secondary to ictus, even in the chronic stage (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Validación clínica de la versión en castellano del Mississippi Aphasia Screening Test (MASTsp) como batería de cribado de alteraciones lenguaje en pacientes que han sufrido un ictus. Material y métodos: Un total de 29 pacientes que habían sufrido un ictus y presentaban un cuadro afásico tras una lesión hemisférica izquierda fueron evaluados con el MASTsp, el test de Boston para el diagnóstico de la afasia y el test de las fichas, al inicio y tras 6s meses de rehabilitación. Doce de los pacientes afásicos fueron evaluados por dos logopedas expertos para comprobar la fiabilidad interobservador. Este mismo grupo (n = 12) fue evaluado en dos ocasiones en la misma semana para comprobar la fiabilidad test-retest. Como grupo control se seleccionó una muestra pareada de sujetos no afásicos con lesión vascular en el hemisferio derecho (n = 29) y un grupo de sujetos sanos (n = 60) estratificado por edad y nivel educativo. Resultados: El MASTsp mostró una adecuada validez convergente y fiabilidad (interobservador y test-retest), siendo parcialmente sensible a detectar cambios a lo largo del tiempo. Se sugiere un punto de corte diagnóstico < 90 en la puntuación total de la prueba.Conclusiones: El MASTsp es una medida válida para la detección y el seguimiento de los problemas de lenguaje en pacientes con ictus (AU)


Objective: Clinical validation of the Spanish version of the Mississippi Aphasia Screening Test (MASTsp) as a screening test for language disorders in patients who have suffered a stroke.Material and methods: A total of 29 patients who had suffered a stroke and had aphasia after a left hemispheric lesion were evaluated with the MASTsp, the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination and the Token Test at baseline and after six months of rehabilitation. Two expert speech-therapists evaluated twelve aphasic patients to determine the inter-observer reliability. This sample was assessed twice in the same week to analyse the reproducibility of the test (test-retest reliability). Aphasic patients were compared with a matched sample of non-aphasic patients with vascular lesions in the right hemisphere (n =29) and a group of healthy subjects (n=60) stratified by age and educational level.Results: The MASTsp showed a good convergent validity, interobserver validity, test-retest reliability and a moderate sensitivity to detect changes over time. A diagnostic cut-off <90 on the MASTsp total test score is proposed.Conclusions: The MASTsp is a valid tool for the detection and monitoring of language problems in patients with stroke (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Analizar en las historias clínicas de un centro de salud la existencia o no de datos acerca del proceso de información sobre los efectos secundarios e interacciones de los analgésicos y antiinflamatorios en una población, y establecer asimismo el perfil de los pacientes respecto a la existencia o no de información a este respecto en su historia clínica. La historia clínica no es solo un documento que nos exige la ley, sino que es o debe ser una herramienta asistencial de primer orden, que facilita y ayuda en el proceso asistencial. La cumplimentación adecuada de las historias clínicas es una obligación del profesional además de ser nuestra herramienta de trabajo, pero en la historia clínica de atención primaria no siempre se registra la información generada durante la práctica asistencial. Material y métodos. Estudio descriptivo, transversal. Se revisaron las historias clínicas de 232 pacientes pertenecientes a los 8 cupos informatizados del centro de salud, mayores de 18 años y que dieron su consentimiento verbal para la inclusión en el estudio, pertenecientes al Centro de Salud Mariano Yago de Yecla (ÁreaV, comunidad de Murcia). Resultados. El 21,6% de los facultativos anota en la historia que proporciona información sobre los efectos secundarios e incompatibilidades de la prescripción de analgésicos y antiinflamatorios. Los factores que se relacionan con la ausencia de haber proporcionado información en la historia clínica son: el tipo de prescripción, el tipo de analgésico y antiinflamatorio prescritos, las variables sobre la función renal y el cumplimiento de la gastroprotección. Conclusiones. En las historias clínicas faltan registros sobre la información que se proporciona al paciente consumidor de analgésicos y antiinflamatorios (AU)


Introduction. To examine medical records within a health centre to determine whether there are data in the information process on the secondary effects and interactions of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, and to determine the patient profile as regards whether or not this information is recorded in their medical records. Material and methods. Descriptive, cross-sectional study based on electronic medical records in the Mariano Yago Primary Care Centre in Yecla (Murcia), Spain. A systematic random sample of 232 electronic medical records was reviewed. All the 232 patients, of legal age, gave their consent to review of their electronic medical records for the purposes of the study. Results. The percentage of doctors who recorded the fact that they had provided information regarding secondary effects and non-compatibilities of the prescription of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs was 21.6%. The factors involved in the non- recording of this information in the medical record were the type of prescription, the type of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug prescribed, glomerular filtration, and adequate gastrointestinal protection. Conclusions. The degree of compliance to patients rights to information about treatment with analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs is low (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Identificar los predictores clínicos de marcha independiente en pacientes con traumatismo craneoencefálico (TCE) severo tras un programa de rehabilitación multidisciplinario y determinar la correlación entre los resultados de la rehabilitación y el estado neurológico del paciente al ingreso. Pacientes y métodos. Análisis retrospectivo de una muestra de 73 pacientes con TCE severo y sin capacidad de marcha al ingreso, seguidos longitudinalmente durante un período medio de 215,3±85,9 días. Todos ellos fueron clasificados en función de su estado neurológico al ingreso: estado vegetativo (EV, n=14), estado de mínima conciencia (EMC, n=16), amnesia postraumática (APT, n=30) y fuera de APT (n=13). Resultados. De forma general, el 41,1% de la muestra adquirió capacidad de marcha al finalizar el programa de rehabilitación multidisciplinario específico. En función del estado neurológico de los pacientes al ingreso, 3 pacientes (18,8%) del grupo de EMC, 17 pacientes (56,7%) del grupo de APT y 10 pacientes (76,9%) del grupo fuera de APT lograron realizar una marcha independiente. Ninguno de los pacientes clasificados inicialmente en EV fue capaz de andar de forma independiente. El modelo de regresión logística reveló que el estado neurológico general (p<0,001), la cronicidad (p=0,001) y la movilidad axial al ingreso evaluada con el Rivermead Mobility Index (p=0,02) fueron predictores independientes de marcha. Discusión. El estado neurológico general, el tiempo transcurrido desde la lesión y la movilidad general al ingreso pueden ayudar a predecir la recuperación de la capacidad de marcha independiente tras un programa de rehabilitación en esta población(AU)


Objective. To identify clinical predictors of independent ambulation in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) after a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program and to determine the correlation between rehabilitation outcomes and neurological status of the patient on admission. Patients and methods. A retrospective analysis of a sample of 73 patients with severe head injury and no ability to walk on admission, followed longitudinally for an average of 215.3±85.9days, was performed. All patients were classified into four groups based on their neurological status at admission: vegetative state (n=14), minimally conscious state (n=16), post-traumatic amnesia (PTA, n=30) and out-of-PTA (n=13). Results. Globally, 41.1% of the initial sample acquired gait abilities after specific multidisciplinary rehabilitation. Regarding neurological status at admission, three patients (18.8%) of the minimally conscious group, 17 patients (56.7%) of the PTA group, 10 patients (76.9%) of the out-of-PTA group, and none of the patients who were initially classified in the vegetative state group were able to walk independently after 6 months. The final multivariate logistic regression model revealed that global neurological status (p<0.001), chronicity (p=0.001), and Rivermead Mobility Index (p=0.02) were independent predictors of gait. Discussion. Global neurological status, time since injury, and global mobility at admission can help predict recovery of independent gait after six months of rehabilitation in this population(AU)

ABSTRACT

Se describen los casos de tres niños diagnosticados de síndrome del babuino, definido por la aparición de lesiones dermatológicas de morfología y distribución características como consecuencia del contacto con mercurio. Se han descrito otras sustancias asociadas a la aparición de este síndrome, cuya patogenia no está del todo clara, aunque se cree que es otra forma de dermatitis de contacto. El diagnóstico se basa en la historia clínica y la exploración física y no existe un tratamiento específico (AU)


The cases of three children diagnosed with baboon syndrome are described, being defined by the appearance of dermatological lesions, with characteristic distribution and morphology, as a result of having been in contact with mercury. Other substances have been described associated with the appearance of this syndrome; however their pathogenis is not completely known, and it has been suggested that it could be another form of contact dermatitis. Diagnosis is based on patient clinical history and physical examination and there is no specific treatment (AU)

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de esta investigación es revisar algunos procesos cognitivos y emocionales que regulan la conducta prosocial y la conducta agresiva en la adolescencia, con especial interés en los procesos empáticos. Se trata de un estudio empírico con 1.285 adolescentes (13-18 años de edad, 698 varones y 597 mujeres) seleccionados aleatoriamente. Los análisis discriminantes realizados indican que los procesos emocionales alcanzan una mayor correlación con la conducta agresiva y con la conducta prosocial, destacando la inestabilidad emocional como la principal predictora de la agresividad y la emocionalidad 'positiva' empática y no impulsiva como mejor predictora de la conducta prosocial. Por el contrario, los procesos de razonamiento prosocial que los adolescentes realizan para decidir una conducta de ayuda tienen un peso menor en la predicción de dichas conductas (AU)


The objective of this research is to review some cognitive and emotional processes that regulate pro-social behaviour and aggressive conduct in adolescence, emphasis being placed on empathic processes. An empirical study has been carried out including 1,285 randomly selected adolescents (aged 13-18, 698 male / 597 female). The discriminating analyses conducted point out that emotional processes reach higher correlation with aggressive conduct and pro-social behaviour, emotional instability standing out as the main aggressiveness predictor, and non-impulsive, ‘positive’ and empathic emotionality as the best predictor for pro-social behaviour. On the contrary, pro-social reasoning processes followed by adolescents in opting for a given help conduct are less relevant to the prediction of such behaviours (AU)

ABSTRACT

A survey of several plant seeds which may possess phytohemagglutinating properties indispensable in blood studies and tissue cultures demonstrated that five plant seeds have this property, namely: Red Kidney beans, White Kidney Beans, Sigarilyas, Bataw and Soy Bean (local variety)The first two agglutinate blood type A, B, AB and O while sigarilyas A, B and AB; Bataw, A, B and AB while the local soy bean agglutinates only type B and ABBy column chromatography in Ve/Vo studies, RKB, WKB and Sigarilyas had molecular weights of 61,000, 62,000 and 60,000, respectively. Estimated MWs of PHA from RKB, WKB and Sigarilyas compared with the molecular weights of known standard compounds by TLG show RKB, WKB and Sigarilyas had MWs of 62,000, 57,000 and 40,000, respectivelyJaffes Method of Purification has been found most suitable for sigarilyas PHA extractionA comparison of the 1/Rf values of ovalbumin for both column chromatography and Thin Layer Gel Filtration shows that the calibration curves are reliable. However, based on the results of the molecular weight determination or the PHA from the samples, the MWs obtained by column chromatography and TLG differ, the separation by the latter seem more distinct.

ABSTRACT

Litrature survey appears to show that a diet rich in nitriloside may ba an answer to preventive medicineA survey of Philippine plant and other plant products for nitrilosides content was carried out using qualitative and quantitative tests. Results show that among the plants used in the Filipino diet, cassava, patani, chesa , ginger and singkamas were particularly rich in nitrilosides. Fresh sorghum grains were also found to be an excellent source of nitrilosideExperimental study of the effect of nitriloside on health and nutrition was made on rabbits and the results showed that the experimental animals fed raw cassava bark and leaves gained weight and improved their blood picture as compared with the control animals. The preliminary study on culture of cancer cells showed significant inhibition by nitriloside on the dehydrogenase using methylene blue as the inidicatorStudies are now undergoing to extract the nitriloside, known as linamarin from cassava. Can linamarin show a more significant improvement in the blood picture of experimental animals?. Will linamarin show any inhibition on the culture of P-388 leukemic cells? This we hope to find out.
