Manejo homeopático de pacientes con patología que corresponde al trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad / Homeopathic management of patients with pathology that corresponds to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

El trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad definido como un patrón persistente de inatención y/o hiperactividad-impulsividad que interfiere con el funcionamiento o desarrollo del individuo, tiene una prevalencia a nivel mundial de 5,29%, con aumento progresivo en los últimos años, considerándose como el trastorno del neurodesarrollo más importante en el niño y adolescente. El objetivo de esta monografía fue describir el manejo homeopático en estos pacientes a partir de estudios con homeopatía unicista encontrados en las bases de datos. Se encontró evidencia de la eficacia del tratamiento homeopático documentada en estudios que reportan resultados estadísticamente significativos sin embargo algunos presentan errores metodológicos. Se concluye que la homeopatía es una opción terapéutica útil para el tratamiento de los pacientes con trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad, equiparable con el tratamiento convencional siempre y cuando se disponga de tiempo para su manejo superior a los 6-12 meses.

Apuntes para la elaboración de una historia de la medicina tradicional andina / Notes for the development of a history of traditional Andean medicine

En la actualidad, la medicina occidental ve con mayor interés las prácticas curativas tradicionales por ser estas menos invasivas y por contar con recetas y tratamientos de comprobada eficacia. Este acercamiento se ha logrado gracias a la ayuda de estudios históricos y antropológicos. Sin embargo, en el caso de la medicina tradicional peruana, la historiografía no ha trabajado con profundidad el tema. Este artículo pretende alentar el desarrollo de nuevos trabajos sobre este tópico y para ello reseña brevemente las fuentes escritas referentes a la medicina andina, desde las recopilaciones de los primeros cronistas en el XVI hasta los estudios actuales.

Literature review and analysis of the development of health outcomes assessment instruments in Chinese medicine.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the development of health outcomes assessment instruments in Chinese medicine. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search for all published articles in China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Chongqing VIP Database and WANFANG Data was conducted. The studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to extract information according to a predesigned assessment instrument. RESULTS: A total of 97 instruments for health outcome assessment in Chinese medicine were identified. Of these questionnaires, 7 were generic, 12 were condition-specific and 78 were disease-specific. All instruments were suitable for adults, children, and both men and women. These instruments aimed to evaluate the health-related quality of life, signs and symptoms as well as patient satisfaction and doctor-reported outcome. However, the descriptions were poorly constructed for some of the most basic parameters, such as the domains and items, administrative mode, response options, memory recall periods, burden evaluation, format, copyright, content validity, and other properties. CONCLUSION: The instrument development for health outcomes assessment in Chinese medicine is increasing rapidly; however, there are many limitations in current methodologies and standards, and further studies are needed.

Performing arts medicine-a bibliographic retrospective of the early literature: an historical examination of bibliographic references pre-1975.

Performing arts medicine (PAM) emerged as a medical specialty around 1985. Prior to this time, relatively few publications addressed the identification and concerns of musicians' and dancers' medical problems. To determine what number and types of publications occurred prior to the actual beginnings of PAM as a discipline, and to determine how these original topics compared with present-day publications, a retrospective review of the current bibliographic database of the Performing Arts Medicine Association (PAMA) was undertaken. Out of a total of 12,600 entries to date, 489 references were found published from 1798 through 1974, which represent only 3.9% of the current database listings. One-sixth of the references were originally written in a language other than English. Journal articles were by far the most numerous type of publication. Topics with the highest number of entries included the neurobiology of music (n=77), dental/orofacial matters (71), and biographical accounts of composers or musicians and their illnesses (59). Other frequently published topics included hearing loss, physiology of playing instruments, and instrumental technique and teaching. Early topics with multiple publications included composers' biographies, dystonias, and surgery to improve finger independence for playing piano. Subjects whose publications occurred principally in the last two decades of this review included dermatological disorders, hearing loss, and ballet physiology, teaching, and technique. Those which remain popular to the present day include hearing loss, performance anxiety, focal dystonia, and dental/orofacial problems.

Producción científica sobre aplicaciones terapéuticas del ozono en el Web of Science / Scientific production on the therapeutic applications of ozone at the Web of Science

Uno de los descubrimientos más notables durante los últimos años en el campo de la medicina alternativa es el empleo del ozono como agente terapéutico. No obstante, a pesar de la práctica cada vez más extendida de la ozonoterapia en el mundo, existen todavía aspectos contradictorios alrededor de su aceptación como técnica terapéutica, y algunos medios de comunicación han afirmado que no existe evidencia científica que acredite sus supuestas ventajas. El presente trabajo constituye un estudio bibliométrico con el objetivo de identificar y analizar la producción científica sobre aplicaciones terapéuticas del ozono existente en el Web of Science. Se recuperaron 117 artículos sobre le temática. Se identificó el índice de asociación de los autores; los autores, revistas y países más productivos; los artículos más citados; las redes de colaboración internacionales; las especialidades más beneficiadas; y los padecimientos más tratados con la ozonoterapia. A pesar de la escasa producción científica sobre las aplicaciones terapéuticas del ozono recogida en el Web of Science, se observó un crecimiento exponencial de esta durante la última década, así como una amplia gama de patologías que registraron sus efectos positivos. Ello confirmó la existencia de una evidencia científicamente válida que acredita su uso como técnica terapéutica en la práctica clínica(AU)
