ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: el dolor es un síntoma muy común en pacientes con Esclerosis Múltiple (EM), 42 al 65 por ciento de los enfermos lo presentan, y es calificado como el síntoma más severo entre el 8 y el 32 por ciento. OBJETIVO: evaluar la efectividad analgésica de las terapias farmacológicas en dolor central en pacientes con esclerosis múltiple (EM), con el fin de proporcionar recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia para la práctica clínica. METODOLOGÍA: se identificaron ensayos aleatorios sobre terapias farmacológicas del tratamiento del dolor central en pacientes con esclerosis múltiple, en Medline (1965-Septiembre de 2007), Embase (2000 - 2007), y Lilacs (1990-2007). RESULTADOS: la insuficiente calidad de los estudios disponibles justifica investigación adicional. CONCLUSIONES: se necesitan más estudios clínicos basados en la evidencia, donde arrojen mejores resultados de los tratamientos farmacológicos o no farmacológicos, con gran eficacia y efectividad y con menos efectos adversos, que evite el abandono de los tratamientos por parte de los pacientes garantizando mejor calidad de vida y desempeño de sus actividades de la vida cotidiana.


INTRODUCTION: pain is a very common symptom in patients with Multiple Sclerosis, 42 to 65% of patients present it. As the severe symptom, pain in these patients is between 8 to 32%. All central pain syndromes are presented by injury or dysfunction of the central nervous system, causing severe disability and deterioration in the quality of life of patients. OBJECTIVE: to assess the analgesic effectiveness of pharmacotherapies in central pain in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), in order to provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice METHODOLOGY: search strategy: we identified randomized trials of pharmacotherapies treatment of central pain in patients with Multiple Sclerosis, MEDLINE (1965-September 2007), EMBASE (2000 to 2007), and Lilacs (1990-2007). Additional reports were identified from the reference lists of retrieved articles. Date of the most recent search: September 2007. Selection criteria: clinical studies randomized controlled double blind, duration of treatment equal to 1 or more days, compared to placebo or one or more pharmacological therapies in patients with Multiple Sclerosis, with a subjective evaluation of pain as primary or secondary results. Data collection and analysis: seven studies were considered eligible, of whom 4 are cannabinoids studies, a study with morphine IV, another with Lidocaina and Mexiletina and finally a combination of Lofepramina, Vitamin B12 and phenylalanine. RESULTS: the inadequate quality of available studies warrants further investigation. Intervention trials with pharmacological therapy (cannabinoids, morphine, lidocaine, mexiletine, lofepramina combination of Vitamin B12, L-phenylalanine) or other intervention undoubtedly require adequate sample sizes, designs, randomized controlled parallel group and clinically relevant outcome measures reliable, and sensitive. But in studies with cannabinoids, it is observed that it is better than placebo, and that in terms of clinical relevance, impact on patient functioning and quality of life related to health has a beneficial effect. CONCLUSIONS: more studies are needed based on clinical evidence, which yield the best results of non-pharmacological or pharmacological treatments, with high efficiency and effectiveness with fewer side effects, which prevent the abandonment of treatment by patients. And to ensure a better quality of life and performance of their daily life activities. Although the evidence that cannabis and single cannabinoids are effective in pain management, are not conclusive, this is enough to order clinical trials of cannabinoids that may provide more clinical information about the effectiveness and presentation of adverse effects. The poor quality of the available studies warranted further investigations.

ABSTRACT

Mucho se ha escrito sobre la posibilidad de que el avance en las comunicaciones, debido al uso de Internet, lleve a la desaparición del libro en papel, el que sería reemplazado por la publicación de libros electrónicos on-line. Este sistema hace posible la disminución de costos tanto para los usuarios como para los editores y auto-res. Por otra parte, los defensores de la ecología sostienen que de esa manera se disminuiría una gran amenaza contra la conservación de numerosas especies forestales que son objeto permanente de persecución, por ser la materia prima para el papel de las publicaciones.


Much has been written about the possibility that the advance in communications, due to the use of the Internet, will lead to the disappearance of the paper book, which would be replaced by the publication of electronic books on-line. This system makes it possible to reduce costs both for users and for publishers and self-publishers. On the other hand, ecology advocates argue that this would reduce a major threat to the conservation of numerous forest species that are permanently persecuted as the raw material for the paper used in publications.

ABSTRACT

La obesidad se considera un importante factor de riesgo para varias enfermedades tales como hipertensi'on arterial, diabetes mellitus, enfermedad coronaria, ateroesclerosis, hipertrigliceridemia e hipercolesterolemia. Se estima que en el mundo la prevalencia de obesidad en la población adulta es de 20 a 50 por ciento, según el criterio y la definición empleados. La Asociación colombiana de obesidad y metabolismo (AS-COM), ha desarrollado un trabajo en equipo a lo largo de 1995, encaminado a elaborar recomendaciones generales que sirven como base para un consenso nacional sobre el enfoque y manejo del paciente obeso yno de la obesidad. El principal objetivo del presente trabajo es llevar al médico general y al paciente obeso, un concepto científico sobre la definición, patogenesis, etiología, clasificación y diagnostico de la obesidad, además de proporcionarle una guía práctica sobre su correcto manejo médico.
