ABSTRACT

AIM: This guideline (GL) is aimed at providing a clinical practice reference for the management of adult patients with overweight or obesity associated with metabolic complications who are resistant to lifestyle modification. METHODS: Surgeons, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, psychologists, pharmacologists, a general practitioner, a nutritionist, a nurse and a patients' representative acted as multi-disciplinary panel. This GL has been developed following the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. A systematic review and network meta-analysis was performed by a methodologic group. For each question, the panel identified potentially relevant outcomes, which were then rated for their impact on therapeutic choices. Only outcomes classified as "critical" and "important" were considered in the systematic review of evidence. Those classified as "critical" were considered for clinical practice recommendations. Consensus on the direction (for or against) and strength (strong or conditional) of recommendations was reached through a majority vote. RESULTS: The present GL provides recommendations about the role of both pharmacological and surgical treatment for the clinical management of the adult patient population with BMI > 27 kg/m2 and < 40 kg/m2 associated with weight-related metabolic comorbidities, resistant to lifestyle changes. The panel: suggests the timely implementation of therapeutic interventions in addition to diet and physical activity; recommends the use of semaglutide 2.4 mg/week and suggests liraglutide 3 mg/day in patients with obesity or overweight also affected by diabetes or pre-diabetes; recommends semaglutide 2.4 mg/week in patients with obesity or overweight also affected by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; recommends semaglutide 2.4 mg/week as first-line drug in patients with obesity or overweight that require a larger weight loss to reduce comorbidities; suggests the use of orlistat in patients with obesity or overweight also affected by hypertriglyceridemia that assume high-calorie and high-fat diet; suggests the use of naltrexone/bupropion combination in patients with obesity or overweight, with emotional eating; recommends surgical intervention (sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, or metabolic gastric bypass/gastric bypass with single anastomosis/gastric mini bypass in patients with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 who are suitable for metabolic surgery; and suggests gastric banding as a possible, though less effective, surgical alternative. CONCLUSION: The present GL is directed to all physicians addressing people with obesity-working in hospitals, territorial services or private practice-and to general practitioners and patients. The recommendations should also consider the patient's preferences and the available resources and expertise.

ABSTRACT

AIM: The body mass index (BMI) of an athlete is directly related to his/her weight, however, whether this parameter is actually related to specific anthropometric compartments is still in debate. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between BMI and fat, muscle and bone percentages. METHODS: To this end, body anthropometric parameters were determined in 3971 athletes according to International Society for Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) provided equations. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated to analyze the relation between BMI and the different anthropometric values. Intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated to validate if BMI is an adequate parameter to measure body composition. RESULTS: The average values found in the different anthropometric parameters, with the exception of bone mass percentage, increased in association with the BMI. However, this positive increase, or decrease in the case of bone mass, is only maintained up to a certain BMI value that differs depending on the parameter analyzed. Athletes that present normal BMI values (18.5-25 kg/m(2) up until 27 kg/m(2)), as well as in several cases where the athletes presented higher values (30-33 kg/m(2)), displayed positive increases for fat percentage, but not for muscle and bone. Pearson's coefficient indicates that BMI has a high correlation with fat content, but not muscle percentage, in athletes. CONCLUSIONS: As seen in the training programs, the data showed that well-trained athletes tend to display optimal muscle contents, being the fat content the only parameter that could influence BMI. However, intraclass correlation coefficient shows that BMI cannot be used as a direct measurement of body fat content in athletes.

ABSTRACT

La proporcionalidad ha tenido poca aplicabilidadpara el deportista, debido a que los datos obtenidosse alejan bastante del ideal del deportista.El método del Phantom se ha visto superado porun nuevo enfoque antropométrico basado en la estadísticabayesiana. Éste modelo se ha denominadoMétodo Combinado que nos permite afinar laproporcionalidad antropométrica. Hemos realizadoun estudio descriptivo con 3176 deportistas dealta competición, todos ellos pertenecientes a loslistados de élite de la Generalitat Valenciana, conla finalidad de marcar unos valores de referenciapara los atletas de alto nivel de nuestro país. Se hacalculado la proporcionalidad según el métodotradicional del Phantom de Ross y según el métodocombinado de Lentini para un futbolista de 2º Ay para una tenista de nivel WTA.Resultados: La tipificación Z combinada, basedel método combinado, refleja fielmente la informacióncontenida en la muestra. Una característicaimportante del método combinado es su fácilimplementación y la posibilidad que brinda al investigador,gracias al modelo estadístico Bayesiano,de combinar fuentes independientes de información.Dado que las muestras para combinarcon la base del Phantom son específicas, se puedentener valores ideales de cada disciplina deportivay de cada país. Es necesario encontrar los valoresde referencia para la población Olímpica.Conclusión: El método de proporcionalidadcombinado nos parece más útil que la proporcionalidaddel Phantom. Es recomendable utilizar elmétodo combinado en deportistas de alto rendimiento


The proportionality always had little applicabilityfor the sportsman. The method of the Phantomhas been by a new approach based on the Bayesiandata analysis. This model is called CombinedMethod. We have performed a descriptive study on3,176 high-level athletes, included in the lists ofelite athletes of the Generalitat Valenciana, withthe purpose of setting reference values for Spanishhigh-level athletes.The proportionality has been calculated accordingto the traditional method of the Phantom of Ross and according to the combined method ofLentini for a football player of 2º A and for a tennisplayer of WTA level.Results: Is the combined tipification of Z, basisof the combined method, faithfully reflects the informationcontained in the sample. An importantcharacteristic of the combined method is its easyimplementation and the possibility that the Bayesiandata analysis offers to the investigator, ofcombining independent sources of information.Since the samples to combine with the base of thePhantom are specific, ideal values for every sportsdiscipline and for every country. It is necessary tofind the values for reference for the Olympic population.Conclusion: The combined method of proportionalityseems to be more useful than the proportionalityof the Phantom

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the variables that might be associated with mortality and the development of neurological deficits in children with convulsive status epilepticus. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Children older than 1 month and younger than 15 years who were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit of a university hospital between 2001 and 2004 were reviewed. Epidemiologic and clinical factors that might be related to neurological outcome at discharge from the unit were analyzed. RESULTS: Forty-one patients (median age 24 months) were included. A total of 48.3% developed refractory convulsive status epilepticus. Six patients died (mortality 14.6%) during their intensive care unit stay and neurologic worsening was observed in 8.6% of survivors (adverse outcome in 22%). Symptomatic epilepsy was present in all patients who died and in 88.9% of those who recovered with severe neurologic sequelae. Uni- and multivariate analysis showed that adverse outcome was related to symptomatic origin and refractory convulsive status epilepticus (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Mortality and morbidity is high in childhood convulsive status epilepticus. Refractory convulsive status and symptomatic origin were markers of poor outcome. Children who did not have symptomatic epilepsy had a favorable outcome.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Investigar las variables que se asocian a la mortalidad y al desarrollo de secuelas neurológicas en los niños con estado epiléptico convulsivo. Pacientes y métodos: Revisión de los casos con estado epiléptico convulsivo, en niños mayores de un mes y menores de 15 años, tratados en la unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos de un hospital universitario entre los años 2001 y 2004. Se analizaron factores epidemiológicos y clínicos en relación con el estado neurológico al alta de la unidad. Resultados: Se incluyeron 41 pacientes con una edad mediana de 24 meses. El 43,9 % desarrolló estado epiléptico convulsivo refractario. Fallecieron 6 pacientes (mortalidad: 14,6 %) y en el 8,6 % de los supervivientes se observó un deterioro neurológico con respecto a su situación previa (mala evolución en el 22 %). Todos los pacientes que fallecieron y el 88,9 % de los que presentaron secuelas graves eran portadores de formas sintomáticas. El análisis univariante y multivariante reflejaron que la etiología sintomática y el estado epiléptico refractario se asociaron con un mal pronóstico (p < 0,05). Conclusiones: La morbimortalidad del estado epiléptico convulsivo es elevada y se relaciona con la etiología sintomática y con el desarrollo de resistencia al tratamiento. Los niños que no presentan un estado epiléptico convulsivo de tipo sintomático presentan un pronóstico favorable

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: El objetivo de nuestro estudio es evaluar lasdiferencias epidemiológicas existentes entre las lesiones detobillo producidas en la práctica deportiva y fuera de dichapráctica.Método: En el Servicio de Urgencias Traumatológicas delHospital General de Alicante; hemos sometido a estudio256 lesiones de tobillo (178 deportivas y 178 no deportivas),que han sido valoradas durante nueve meses.Resultados: La edad media de la muestra es de32,03±16,43 años. Aunque para las lesiones deportivas resultóuna edad media menor que para las lesiones no deportivas(de 22,82±6,91 años frente a 40,76±19,19 años).En general el sexo predominante fue el varón (65%). Aunquemayoritariamente las lesiones deportivas se producenen varones (93%), mientras que en las lesiones no deportivasse producen en mujeres (63%). El deporte más lesivoresultó ser el fútbol. En todos los grupos la lesión más frecuentefue la ligamentosa, predominando el alta hospitalariadesde urgencias, con tratamiento ortopédico.Conclusiones: Las lesiones deportivas ocurren en varonesde 22 años de edad, que juegan al fútbol, produciéndose unalesión ligamentosa que recibe tratamiento ortopédico y esdada de alta desde el Servicio de Urgencias. Las lesiones nodeportivas ocurren en mujeres de 40 años, ingresando conmayor frecuencia en el Servicio de Traumatología


Objective: The objective of our study is to evaluate thedifferences epidemiological existing between the injuriesof ankle produced in the sports practice and out of thispractice.Method: In the Service of Urgencies Traumatology ofthe General Hospital of Alicante; we have submitted tostudy 256 injuries of ankle (178 sports and 178 not sports),that have been valued for nine months.Result: The middle ages of the sample are of32,03±16,43 years. Though for the sports injuries it turnedout a minor middle ages that for the not sports injuries (of22,82±6,91 years opposite to 40,76±19,19 years). In generalthe predominant sex was the male (65%). Though forthe most part the sports injuries take place in males (93%),where as in the not sports injuries they take place inwomen (63%). The most harmful sport turned out to bethe football. In all the groups the most frequent injury wasligaments injuries, predominating over the hospital dischargefrom emergencies, with orthopaedic treatment.Conclusions: The sports injuries happen in males of 22years of age, that they play football, producing an injury tohim ligaments injuries that receive orthopaedic treatmentand is given of discharge from the Service of Urgencies.The not sports injuries happen in women of 40 years, joiningwith bigger frequency Traumatology Service

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: 1) Valorar si existen diferencias entre los valores de porcentaje graso y muscular de los futbolistas con respecto al resto de los atletas que no practican este deporte. 2) Valorar si la composición corporal se relaciona con la categoría del futbolista. En el Servicio de Apoyo al Deportista del Centro de Tecnificación de Alicante hemos realizado un estudio con 1.837 deportistas, 623 son futbolistas y 1.214 atletas que practican otros deportes. Además, hemos agrupado a los futbolistas masculinos por categorías. Conclusiones: 1) Existen diferencias significativas entre el porcentaje graso y muscular de los hombre y las mujeres independientemente del deporte que practiquen. 2) Existen diferencias significativas entre el porcentaje graso de los hombre y mujeres que practican fútbol y el porcentaje del resto de los deportistas. 3) Existen diferencias significativas entre el porcentaje muscular de las mujeres que practican fútbol y el resto de las deportistas (AU)

ABSTRACT

El traumatismo craneal leve es una patología frecuente y más del 90 por ciento de los casos evolucionan favorablemente, siendo atendidos por médicos de urgencias. El diagnóstico se realiza por la anamnesis y una exploración clínica adecuada. Las pruebas de imagen quedan supeditadas a los casos en que por la clínica del paciente, la gravedad del accidente o por criterio médico sean requeridas. Consideramos que la historia clínica y una exploración neurológica normal (Trauma Score), en un niño, deben ser claves para identificar al paciente de riesgo (AU)

ABSTRACT

La frecuencia cardíaca máxima es un concepto básico en la medicina deportiva y para la educación física, porque a partir de ella diseñamos los planes de entrenamiento de nuestros deportistas. Tradicionalmente se usa para el cálculo de la misma la fórmula de 220-edad. Hemos revisado las 36 fórmulas más utilizadas para predecir la frecuencia cardíaca máxima y hemos realizado una comparación con los resultados de una serie con 864 deportistas. Los datos los hemos recogido entre el mes de febrero de 1999 y diciembre de 2003. La frecuencia cardíaca se ha determinado mediante un test de esfuerzo incremental hasta el agotamiento en tapiz rodante. Además, hemos desarrollado una nueva fórmula para predecir la frecuencia cardíaca máxima. Para determinar la fórmula, hemos realizado una correlación de Pearson y un análisis de la covarianza, hallando la siguiente formula: 207-0,7019864 edad, concluyendo que las fórmulas actuales asumen errores más amplios de los que podemos asumir. Por tanto, para planear un entrenamiento basándonos en la frecuencia cardíaca máxima necesitaremos determinar directamente esa frecuencia (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study are to evaluate the beliefs and views linked to sexuality and sexual behaviour, and the emotional impact of a cardiac lesion. DESIGN: A retrospective cross-sectional study of the lived experience of sexuality after the appearance of the cardiac lesion. SETTING: Hospital and primary care. PATIENTS AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS: A sample of 30 people (12 women and 18 men) with a cardiac complaint, with an average age of 69.89 for women and 60.89 for men. 89% of the men had a stable partner (with an average age of 46.25), and 50% of the women (with an average age of 71.17). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Results showed that the appearance of disease was lived as a tough blow and imposed clear limitations on sufferers' lives. Specific sexual problems linked to cardiac complaints appeared, such as difficulties with erection (50%), reduction of libido (61.1%) and of intensity of pleasure (38.9%). Sexual activity was practically non-existent in the women surveyed. CONCLUSIONS: The need to contribute a proper intervention for cardiovascular patients involves recognising the need to develop adequate programmes of sexual counselling. Health-workers must also give information on these kinds of question to cardiac patients.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. El objetivo de este trabajo es llevar a cabo la evaluación de las creencias y opiniones vinculadas a la sexualidad y los comportamientos sexuales, así como el impacto emocional provocado por la lesión cardíaca. Diseño. Encuesta transversal retrospectiva de la vivencia de la sexualidad después de la aparición de la lesión cardíaca. Emplazamiento. Práctica hospitalaria y atención primaria. Pacientes u otros participantes. Una muestra de 30 sujetos (12 mujeres y 18 varones) con alguna dolencia cardíaca, con una edad media de 69,89 años para las mujeres y 60,89 años para los varones. Un 89 por ciento de éstos tiene pareja estable (con una edad media de 46,25 años) frente al 50 por ciento de las mujeres (con una edad media de 71,17 años). Mediciones y resultados principales. Los resultados muestran que la manifestación de la enfermedad es vivenciada como un duro golpe y ha impuesto claras limitaciones en sus vidas. Se comprueba la presencia de determinados problemas sexuales vinculados a la dolencia cardíaca, caso de dificultades con la erección (50 por ciento), disminución del deseo (61,1 por ciento) y de la intensidad del placer (38,9 por ciento). Actividad sexual prácticamente inexistente en las mujeres encuestadas. Conclusiones. La necesidad de aportar una adecuada intervención en los pacientes cardiovasculares implica reconocer la necesidad de desarrollar adecuados programas de counseling sexual, así como la necesidad de que el personal sanitario informe sobre este tipo de cuestiones a los/as pacientes cardíacos/as (AU)
