Rabdomiólisis asociada a spinning. Presentación de doce casos / Spinning-induced rhabdomyolysis: twelve case reports

La rabdomiólisis es un síndrome que se produce como consecuencia de la destrucción muscular. Clásicamente fue descrito luego de traumas o ejercicio físico intenso. El spinning, es una actividad que se desarrolla sobre una bicicleta estática, que ha cobrado auge en los últimos años. Existen solo casos excepcionales de rabdomiólisis asociada a spinning reportados en la literatura. En este trabajo se presenta una serie de doce pacientes que presentaron esta patología luego de una clase de spinning, que permanecieron internados en los Servicios de Clínica Médica del Hospital Municipal de Agudos Dr. Leónidas Lucero (HMALL) y del Hospital Privado del Sur (HPS) entre junio de 2014 y enero de 2016. Todos los pacientes consultaron por mialgias, a predominio de cuádriceps e impotencia funcional, asociado a elevación significativa de las enzimas musculares. Ninguno presentó insuficiencia renal al ingreso y todos evolucionaron favorablemente luego de ser sometidos a un estricto plan de hidratación. El objetivo de este trabajo es alertar a la población en general y al equipo de salud sobre los riesgos que podría ocasionar esta actividad si no se toman los recaudos necesarios.

Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome that occurs as a consequence of muscle destruction. It was typically described after traumas or intense workout. Spinning is an activity carried out using a stationary bicycle that has become popular in the last few years. Cases of spinning-induced rhabdomyolysis are quite exceptional in the literature. A series of twelve patients with this condition after a spinning class is presented in this work. These patients were admitted at the Internal Medicine Service of the Hospital Municipal de Agudos Dr. Leónidas Lucero (HMALL) and the Hospital Privado del Sur (HPS) between June 2014 and January 2016. All patients referred myalgias, mainly in the quadriceps and functional impairment, associated to a marked increase in muscle enzymes. No patient presented renal failure and all of them evolved positively after a strict hydration plan. The aim of this work is to warn the general public and healthcare professionals on the risks that this activity could cause if the necessary precautions are not taken.

[Intimate partner violence. A survey conducted in the primary care setting]. / La violencia contra la mujer en la pareja. Un estudio en el ámbito de la atención primaria.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) in a sample of women attending primary care centers for any reason and to analyze the characteristics of this violence. METHODS: A cross sectional study was performed in 23 primary care centers in three regions of Spain (Andalusia, Madrid and Valencia). The sample included 1,402 randomly selected adult women aged between 18 and 65 years attending these centers. Among the variables collected through a self-administered questionnaire were the existence of physical, emotional or sexual abuse, and its timing, duration, and frequency. RESULTS: Overall, 32% had experienced some type of IPV. By type, 7% had experienced both physical and emotional IPV, 14% had experienced emotional IPV, 3% had experienced emotional and sexual IPV, and 6% had suffered all 3 types of IPV. Among the latter, 52% had experienced abuse for more than 5 years. Women who experienced abuse in a previous relationship had a greater probability of being abused by a new intimate partner (OR = 3.30; 95% CI, 2.10-5.18). CONCLUSIONS: These results show the scale of IPV in Spain. Health professionals play an important role in IPV, as they are in a privileged position to tackle this serious public health problem.

La violencia contra la mujer en la pareja. Un estudio en el ámbito de la atención primaria / Intimate partner violence. A survey conducted in the primary care setting

Objetivos: Determinar la prevalencia de violencia contra la mujer en la pareja en una muestra de mujeres asistentes por cualquier motivo a centros de atención primaria, y analizar las características de esta violencia. Métodos: Estudio transversal en 23 consultas de atención primaria de Andalucía, Madrid y Valencia. La muestra incluye 1.402 mujeres entre 18 y 65 años de edad elegidas aleatoriamente en estas consultas. Entre las variables recogidas mediante cuestionario autoadministrado se incluyeron la existencia de maltrato fisico, emocional o sexual, su temporalidad, su frecuencia y su duración. Resultados: El 32% del total de mujeres en la muestra tuvo algún tipo de maltrato a lo largo de su vida. El 7% presentó en algún momento de su vida maltrato físico y emocional a la vez, el 14% maltrato emocional, el 3% maltrato emocional y sexual conjuntamente y el 6% los 3 tipos de maltrato. El 52% de las mujeres que refirieron los 3 tipos de maltrato lo habían sufrido durante más de 5 años. Hay una mayor probabilidad de padecer maltrato en la actualidad habiéndolo sufrido con una pareja anterior en el pasado (odds ratio = 3,30; intervalo de confianza del 95%, 2,10-5,18). Conclusiones: Estos resultados ponen de manifiesto la magnitud de la violencia contra la mujer en la pareja en nuestro ámbito. Los profesionales de la salud se encuentran en una situación privilegiada para abordar este grave problema de salud pública
