RESUMO

Antecedentes y objetivo: Durante nuestra práctica clínica nos hemos encontrado algo limitados por el pensamiento y tratamiento de la medicina convencional. Por circunstancias personales hemos entrado en contacto con terapias complementarias ampliamente aplicadas en muchos países a la población general en contextos de medicina general, fisioterapia, medicina interna, y hemos pensado introducir estas técnicas en nuestra práctica diaria y estudiar cómo impactan en nuestros pacientes. Se conoce por terapia neural a la técnica que emplea un anestésico local en muy bajas concentraciones con la finalidad de restaurar el potencial transmembrana de la neurona que se ha perdido por inflamación, cicatriz, infección, etc. La ausencia patológica de potencial transmembrana de la neurona ocasiona que, al no poderse transmitir el impulso nervioso fisiológico, la inflamación o patología a tratar perduren en el tiempo. Por así decirlo, el anestésico local logra un reinicio del normal funcionamiento del sistema nervioso, que afecta a todo el organismo. El presente trabajo estudia la evolución postquirúrgica de las pacientes tras mamoplastia de aumento vía axilar en función de si se les realizó o no terapia neural como tratamiento coadyuvante. Material y Método: Realizamos un estudio de intervención no aleatorizado midiendo la presencia o no de dolor y la presencia o no y grado de encapsulamiento periprotésico según la clasificación de Baker durante los 12 meses siguientes a una mamoplastia de aumento vía axilar, y el consumo de fármacos (Nervobión(R), Accolate(R)) para dichas dolencias según si se les realizó o no terapia neural después de dicha intervención quirúrgica. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 178 mujeres con un rango de edad entre 17 y 52 años (media de 28.34 años) El grupo de tratamiento recibió procaína al 0.33% en la cicatriz cutánea axilar y trayecto por el que pasó la prótesis durante la cirugía. Este tratamiento se inició desde la primera cura y en las visitas sucesivas si la paciente lo requirió, con una media de 4 sesiones de terapia neural por paciente. Utilizamos el paquete estadístico Statistica versión 8.0 para el análisis de tablas de contingencia 2 por 2 mediante X2. Resultados: De las 178 pacientes incluidas en el estudio (con 8 pérdidas), llevamos a cabo tratamiento convencional en 101 y terapia neural coadyuvante en 69, comprobando una mejoría significativa de la evolución postquirúrgica en las pacientes tratadas con terapia neural, mientas que las no tratadas requirieron más medicación postquirúrgica. Conclusiones: A pesar de que la limitación principal de nuestro estudio es el tipo de diseño: estudio de intervención sin aleatorización, en nuestra experiencia, el uso de la terapia neural puede recomendarse como tratamiento coadyuvante para disminuir la contractura capsular y el dolor postquirúrgico en pacientes sometidas a mamoplastia de aumento vía axilar


Background and Objective: During our clinical practice we have found some limitations by the thoughts and treatments of conventional medicine. Due to personal circumstances we got in contact with complementary therapies widely applied in many countries to the general population in contexts of general medicine, physiotherapy, internal medicine, so we thought to introduce these techniques to our daily practice and study how it affected our patients. Neural therapy is a technique that uses local anesthetic in very low concentrations in order to restore the membrane potential of the neuron, lost by inflammation, scar, infection, etc. This pathological membrane potential of the neuron causes an absence of transmission of physiological nervous impulse, so that inflammation or pathology to be treated lasts over time. Somehow, the local anesthetic achieves a reset in the nervous system to restart physiological function of the entire organism. The present study observes the postoperative evolution of the patients after an axillary augmentation mammoplasty, depending on if they were treated with neural therapy as adjuvant treatment or not. Methods: We performed a non-randomized intervention study in which the presence or absence of pain and the presence or not and degree of periprosthetic encapsulation following Baker's scale, was measured after transaxillary breast augmentation, and the use of drugs (Nervobión(R) and Accolate(R)) depending on if they received or not neural therapy as coadjuvant. The sample consisted of 178 women with an age range between 17 and 52 years (average of 28.34 years). The treatment group received 0.33% procaine in the axillary skin scar and the path through which the prosthesis passed during surgery. This treatment was started from the first cure and in the successive visits if the patient required it, with an average of 4 sessions of neural therapy per patient. We used the statistical package Statistica version 8.0 for the analysis of contingency tables 2 by 2 through X2. Results: Of the 178 patients included in the study (with 8 losses), we carried out conventional treatment in 101 and coadjuvant neural therapy in 69, verifying a significant improvement in postoperative evolution in patients treated with neural therapy, while the untreated ones required more postsurgical medication. Conclusions: Although the main limitation of our study is the type of design: intervention study without randomization, in our experience, the use of neural therapy can be recommended as a coadjuvant treatment to reduce capsular contracture and postoperative pain in patients undergoing axillary augmentation mammoplasty

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To detect type-1 LADA (latent auto-immune diabetes in adults) in adults with overweight. To describe the metabolic variations in these patients after metformin treatment. DESIGN: Observational, multi-centre study based on a series of cases. SETTING: Health centres in Barcelona province, Spain. PARTICIPANTS: Diabetic patients with overweight or obesity, diagnosed with diabetes for <2 years, aged between 35 and 65, and without clinical micro-macrovascular complications and without initial glycaemia-lowering drug treatment. INTERVENTION: Metformin administration (1700 mg/day). MEASUREMENTS: The metabolic control variable was HbA1c. Other variables measured were: body mass index (BMI), glucose in fast, insulinaemia, C-peptide, and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). We determined ICA, GADAb and IA2Ab antibodies to diagnose LADA-type diabetes. RESULTS: In our sample of diabetics (N=103), we detected 3 type-1 LADA cases. These patients had higher levels of HbA1c, insulin and, especially, HOMA-IR. Metformin treatment for one year improved HbA1c in both groups (with and without type-1 LADA). However, the decrease in insulin one year afterwards was greater in type-1 LADA patients. CONCLUSIONS: The percentage of type-1 LADA in our sample made us wonder whether we should search for pancreatic antibodies more often in primary care. More studies on the prevalence of type-1 LADA in our country are needed, especially in diabetic patients with overweight. Type-1 LADA patients improved their metabolic control after metformin treatment and showed a drastic decrease in insulin levels. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether metformin improves metabolic control, even though it may not protect insulin reserves, and to contrast metformin with other drugs.

RESUMO

Objetivos. Detectar pacientes con diabetes tipo LADA (latent autoinmune diabetes of adult) tipo 1 en diabéticos adultos con sobrepeso y describir las variaciones metabólicas tras administrar metformina. Diseño. Estudio observacional, multicéntrico, basado en una serie de casos. Emplazamiento. Atención primaria, provincia de Barcelona. Participantes. Diabéticos con sobrepeso u obesidad, con diagnóstico de diabetes < 2 años, entre 35 y 65 años de edad, sin complicaciones microvasculares o macrovasculares ni tratamiento farmacológico inicial antidiabético. Intervención. Administración de metformina, 1.700 mg/día. Mediciones. La variable de control metabólico fue la hemoglobina glucosilada (HbA1c); otras variables fueron el índice de masa corporal (IMC), la glucemia en ayunas, la insulinemia, el péptido C y la valoración de la insulinorresistencia (HOMA-IR). Para el diagnóstico de diabetes tipo LADA se determinaron los anticuerpos ICA, anti-GAD y anti-IA2. Resultados. En la muestra de diabéticos estudiada (n = 103) se detectaron 3 casos de LADA tipo 1 (prevalencia del 2,9%; intervalo de confianza del 95%, 0,6-8,3%). Estos pacientes presentaron valores basales más elevados de HbA1c, insulina y sobre todo de HOMA-IR. El tratamiento con metformina mejoró la HbA1c en ambos grupos de pacientes (con o sin LADA de tipo 1). El descenso de la insulinemia al cabo de un año en los pacientes con LADA de tipo 1 fue más marcado que en el resto de diabéticos. Conclusiones. Dada su frecuencia, hay que reflexionar sobre si deberían buscarse con más frecuencia anticuerpos frente a células β pancreáticas en atención primaria. Los pacientes con LADA de tipo 1 presentaron buen control de la HbA1c en tratamiento con metformina y un drástico descenso de la insulina. Faltan estudios que evalúen si la metformina mejora el control glucémico, aunque tal vez no proteja la reserva insulínica, y confrontarla con otros fármacos
