ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Conocer en función de los estudios publicados recientemente, la efectividad clínica de la hipertermia como el tratamiento de las tendinopatías, y analizar la calidad metodológica de los artículos. Búsqueda y selección de estudios. Se identificaron 38 publicaciones mediante búsqueda electrónica en bases de datos MEDLINE, Dialnet, Cochrane Library Plus, PEDro, CSIC y CINAHL. Los criterios de inclusión fueron: artículos en inglés o español publicados desde enero del 2002 hasta enero del 2012, ensayos controlados y casos clínicos. Como criterio de exclusión se estableció: estudios que aborden la tendinopatía desde otro punto de vista: fisioterapia que no sea la diatermia profunda, y aquellos que no se correspondan con la tipología de estudios incluidos. Resultados. Se incluyeron 3 estudios en la revisión. La calidad metodológica media de los estudios incluidos fue de 8,6 puntos (escala PEDro). Conclusiones. Parece ser que la utilización de esta técnica mejora el dolor y el estado funcional en estos paciente. Son necesarios un mayor número de estudios para determinar la eficacia de la hipertermia en las tendinopatías(AU)


Objective. To evaluate, based on the recently published studies, the clinical effectiveness of hyperthermia as treatment of tendinopathies and to analyze the methodological quality of the articles. Study search and selection strategy. A total of 38 publications were identified by electronic search in the following databases: MEDLINE, Dialnet, Cochrane Library Plus and PEDro, CSIC and CINAHL. Inclusion criteria were: articles published from January 2002 to January 2012, controlled trails and clinical cases. Exclusion criteria were articles studying tendinopathy from another approach: i.e. physiotherapy other than deep diathermy, and those that did not correspond to the typology of studies included. Results. Three articles were included in this review. Mean methodological quality of the studies included was 8.6 points on the PeDro scale. Conclusions. It seems that using the hyperthermia technique improves pain and functional status in these patients. More studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of hyperthermia on tendinopathies(AU)

ABSTRACT

Regional variation in sweating over the body is widely recognised. However, most studies only measured a limited number of regions, with the use of differing thermal states across studies making a good meta-analysis to obtain a whole body map problematic. A study was therefore conducted to investigate regional sweat rates (RSR) and distributions over the whole body in male athletes. A modified absorbent technique was used to collect sweat at two exercise intensities [55% (I1) and 75% (I2) VO2(max)] in moderately warm conditions (25°C, 50% rh, 2 m s(-1) air velocity). At I1 and I2, highest sweat rates were observed on the central (upper and mid) and lower back, with values as high as 1,197, 1,148, and 856 g m(-2) h(-1), respectively, at I2. Lowest values were observed on the fingers, thumbs, and palms, with values of 144, 254, and 119 g m(-2) h(-1), respectively at I2. Sweat mapping of the head demonstrated high sweat rates on the forehead (1,710 g m(-2) h(-1) at I2) compared with low values on the chin (302 g m(-2) h(-1) at I2) and cheeks (279 g m(-2) h(-1) at I2). Sweat rate increased significantly in all regions from the low to high exercise intensity, with exception of the feet and ankles. No significant correlation was present between RSR and regional skin temperature (T (sk)), nor did RSR correspond to known patterns of regional sweat gland density. The present study has provided detailed regional sweat data over the whole body and has demonstrated large intra- and inter-segmental variation and the presence of consistent patterns of regional high versus low sweat rate areas in Caucasians male athletes. This data may have important applications for clothing design, thermophysiological modelling and thermal manikin design.

ABSTRACT

Existe un temor exagerado por parte de los padres de niños pequeños (0-3 años) y de los profesionales sanitarios a la fiebre y sus complicaciones, siendo éste el origen de muchas de las creencias y actitudes equivocadas en su manejo y tratamiento. Por ello, se ha elaborado una Guía de Cuidados mediante revisiones sistemáticas, de otras guías de práctica clínica, y originales de los últimos 10 años relacionados con el manejo del niño pequeño con fiebre. Esta Guía resume exclusivamente aquellas intervenciones enfermeras en el manejo del niño pequeño con fiebre contempladas por la literatura científica, que presentan el suficiente rigor como para ser tenidas en cuenta en nuestra labor asistencial(AU)


An exaggerated fear exists on behalf of parents of young children, aged 0 to 3, and sanitary professionals regarding fever and its complications; this fear is the origin of many mistaken beliefs and attitudes on how to handle and treat fever. For this reason, a Guide to Treatment has been developed by means of systematic reviews, from other clinical practice guides, and original documents over the past ten years related to handling young children who have fever. This Guide exclusively summarizes those nursing practices in handling young children having fever which are contemplated in scientific literature and which provide sufficient rigor to be taken into consideration in our nursing work(AU)

ABSTRACT

Dentro del manejo integral que debe realizarse a los pacientes con neutropenia febril, es indispensable desarrollar una adecuada evaluación inicial que involucra una historia clinica detallada para encontrar rápidamente la posible etiología, y descubrir los riesgos o complicaciones que puedan presentarse debido al tratamiento, a las condiciones de vida y de hospitalización, o a la propia enfermedad. Son diversos los tipos de infecciones que pueden presentarse en pacientes inmunosuprimidos, relacionado principalmente con defectos en el sistema inmunitario ocasionadospor la quimioterapia, el uso de corticosteroides o por la misma enfermedad, que conllevan a una neutropenia, favoreciendo y aumentando las posibilidades de infección. La neutropenia, definida como el conteo de granulocitos o bandas _<500/mm3 (5x10 8/L), es el factor de riesgo más asociado al desarrollo de infección, así mismo, la severidad (<100/mmn, 1 x 10 8/L) y la duración (mayor de dos semanas), son considerados los dos parámetros de mayor influencia. Las enterobacteriaceas y Pseudomonas aeruginosa son los patógenos más frecuentemente asociados con alta tasa de mortalidad y prevalencia de bacteriemias, sin embargo, los gérmenes más frecuentes causantes de infecciones en pacientes neutropénicos deben establecerse con base en la epidemiología de cada institución al igual que la suceptibilidad a los antibióticos, para poder así, implementar protocolos de manejo que permitan escoger el tratamiento más adecuado para cada una de las enfermedades infecciosas que se puedan presentar

ABSTRACT

Fiebre es un aumento de la temperatura corporal, medido en forma objetiva, que sobrepasa los 37.8º C en la región oral o los 38.4º C en la rectal, acompañado por un estado de quebrantamiento, intranquilidad o estupor. La temperatura corporal varía en el trascurso del día, siendo más baja en horas tempranas de la mañana y más elevada en las horas de la tarde (4:00-8:00p.m.). La variación puede ser de 1ºC. Recuérdese que fiebre e hipertemia son procesos fisiológicamente distintos, y que en ésta la producción de calor excede la pérdida del mismo, como se observa en la hipertemia maligna. El concepto práctico clínico que resulta de estas distinción es que los antipirécticos son más efectivos en el manejo de la fiebre que el de la hipertemia

ABSTRACT

In 18 patients suffering from viral, mycoplasma or bacterial infections, orthostatic reaction and total haemoglobin were measured after termination of fever and 1 and 3 months thereafter. The results of the 3 months control were considered to represent the individual's normal values. The patients were randomized into two groups, one of which was subjected to a physical activity programme when febrile and the other, serving as control group, was confined to bed according to traditional clinical routine. The orthostatic reaction was measured as the mean heart rate during 10 min tilting on a tilt table. Plasma and red cell volumes were calculated from total haemoglobin, haemoglobin concentration and erythrocyte volume fraction. After fever heart rate during tilt was, in both groups, significantly higher than at the 3 months control but it was lower in the trained group (86 +/- 4 beats/min) than in the control group (100 +/- 3 beats/min) (P less than 0.05). Plasma volume and red cell volume being both numerically reduced in our patients after fever, showed a significant increase 3 months after illness only in the untrained control group. The results suggests that physical activity during acute febrile infections prevents the illness/bed rest-induced orthostatic deterioration and blood volume reduction.
