The product combines the DPP-4 inhibitor Tradjenta (linagliptin), which was cleared by the agency last May, with metformin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Specifically, Jentadueto was authorised by the regulator for use alone or in combination with a sulfonylurea to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Eli Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim noted that the approval was based on data from studies in which Tradjenta and metformin were evaluated as separate tablets, with bioequivalence of Jentadueto shown in healthy subjects. The companies said that in clinical trials, Jentadueto demonstrated placebo-corrected reductions in HbA(1c) levels of up to 1.7 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In January 2011, Eli Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim entered a deal to jointly develop and market several diabetes compounds, including Tradjenta&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-2812502068749034193?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/2812502068749034193/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2012/02/linagliptinmetformin.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/2812502068749034193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/2812502068749034193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2012/02/linagliptinmetformin.html' title='linagliptin/metformin'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-482973828766428166</id><published>2012-01-30T13:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-30T13:02:04.078-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

There is a clear association between excess adiposity and adverse health consequences, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Reduction in adiposity is associated with improvement in obesity-related comorbidities. Abdominal obesity and general obesity are associated with cerebrovascular disease (odds ratio [OR], 1.22-2.37), coronary heart disease (OR, 1.21-3.25), and all-cause mortality (OR, 1.9-2.42).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id="yui_3_2_0_1_1327278495988120"&gt;2. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention categories of body mass index (BMI) are normal (18.5-24.9 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;), overweight (25-29.9 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;), class I obesity (30-34.9 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;), class II obesity (35-39.9 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;), and class III obesity (&amp;gt;40 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;). In the United States, 72.3% of men and 64.1% of women are overweight or obese. Among children, 16.9% are obese. Higher rates of obesity are observed among non-Hispanic black and Hispanic women. Rates of obesity are highest in the South, eastern Appalachia, and costal North and South Carolina. Colorado has the lowest rate of obesity.&lt;/div&gt;3. BMI is not always the best measure to discriminate risk of disease associated with adiposity. BMI has a pooled sensitivity of 50% and a pooled specificity of 90% to identify excess adiposity. Waist circumference is a simple method to assess for central obesity, which has excellent correlation with abdominal imaging. Sagittal abdominal diameter may be a better marker of abdominal visceral adiposity than waist-to-hip ratio, but has not been well validated.&lt;br /&gt;4. Other measures include ratio of waist to hip. Computed tomography (CT) scans can measure adiposity including visceral adiposity accurately, but are not routinely used in clinical practice. Imaging modalities including CT scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and proton MR spectroscopy can differentiate differences in liver fat content. Liver fat content may be more related to diabetes mellitus and high triglycerides than measures of visceral adiposity and, thus, may identify individuals at greater risk for cardiovascular disease and/or diabetes mellitus.&lt;br /&gt;5. Visceral adiposity is associated with increased risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease. Factors associated with visceral adiposity include increasing age, male sex, menopause, smoking, high caloric diets, and sedentary behaviors. Blacks are more prone to subcutaneous fats, whereas Asians are more prone to visceral fat deposits.&lt;br /&gt;6. Assessing body composition can be done with several methods. Anthropometric measures such as limb circumference and skinfold thickness are low cost, but can underestimate body fat. Near infrared interaction has been used to measure body fat, but has been observed to have limited accuracy compared to other measures. Additional measures include hydrostatic weighing, plethysmography, dual-energy X-ray, and absorptionmetry.&lt;br /&gt;7. CT scans and MRI are now considered the gold standard for measurement of fat distribution.&lt;br /&gt;8. Measurement of ectopic fat or fat deposits in the liver, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. Proton MR spectroscopy can reliably measure such ectopic fat deposits.&lt;br /&gt;9. Changes in fat mass can be assessed through repeated measures, including BMI and waist circumference. Changes in waist circumference have been observed to correlate with changes in cardiometabolic risk factors. To date, no long-term studies have assessed the relationship of changes in body fat composition and clinical outcomes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id="yui_3_2_0_1_1327278495988119"&gt;10. Currently, BMI and waist circumference are the primary tools to assess for adiposity. For all patients, counseling regarding healthy dietary and activity behaviors is recommended. Among patients with increased BMI or high waist circumference, assessment of other cardiometabolic risk factors is recommended.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;© 2011 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-1400874470394432767?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/1400874470394432767/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2012/01/assessing-adiposity-scientific.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/1400874470394432767'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/1400874470394432767'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2012/01/assessing-adiposity-scientific.html' title='Assessing Adiposity: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-1249415592731372548</id><published>2012-01-18T15:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T15:08:28.658-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Resveratrol Scientists React to Fraud Scandal</title><content type='html'>January 13, 2012 (New York, New York) — As the controversy over the research fraud allegations against &lt;b&gt;Dr Dipak Das&lt;/b&gt; enter its third day, researchers, clinicians, and red-wine enthusiasts more generally are wondering just what the news means for the field of &lt;b&gt;resveratrol&lt;/b&gt; research. At the very least, scientists told &lt;b&gt;heart&lt;em&gt;wire&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, plans for an international meeting scheduled for later this year have been turned upside down: Das was one of just eight international experts on the scientific committee for &lt;a href="http://resveratrol2012.org/"&gt;Resveratrol 2012&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;As previously reported by &lt;b&gt;heart&lt;em&gt;wire&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, the University of Connecticut found evidence that Das had fabricated and falsified data in dozens of published papers, many asserting that resveratrol, found in red wine, improved cardiovascular health.

neozelandeses muertos en la península sureña de Eyre.&lt;br /&gt;El lobo marino neozelandés (Arctocephalus fosteri), es una especie protegida de las aguas cercanas a Eyre, costa sur australiana, y a la isla sur de Nueva Zelanda, por tanto, los decesos constituyen una pérdida ecológica, amplió Lucy Woolford de la Universidad de Adelaida.&lt;br /&gt;Durante los primeros exámenes no hemos observado signos de lesiones, por lo que seguiremos investigando las causas del fallecimiento de los lobos, cuyos cadáveres se encuentran en estado de descomposición, explicó la especialista australiana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woolford especificó que la caza indiscriminada del mamífero durante el siglo XIX dejó al borde de la extinción a los lobos marinos neozelandeses, que pueden llegar a pesar hasta 250 kilogramos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='text'>Diabetes Expert Disses Weight-Loss Programs</title><content type='html'>By Emily P. Walker, Washington Correspondent, MedPage Today&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;Published: January 10, 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON  --  Community-based weight-loss programs have not been shown to be effective at reducing the incidence of diabetes, so implementing a national program would likely be money down the drain, a diabetes expert said at a symposium on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Richard Kahn, PhD, who was the chief scientific and medical officer of the American Diabetes Association for nearly 25 years, delivered remarks to public health advocates and diabetes researchers at the &lt;em&gt;Health Affairs &lt;/em&gt;briefing Tuesday, where his remarks stood in stark contrast to the "prevention works" message of the event's other speakers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He told those in attendance  -- some of whom are involved in community-based weight-loss interventions  --  that "community programs are ineffective at achieving weight loss."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kahn  --  who now teaches medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill  --  said that just sustaining significant weight loss, even with intensive dieting, exercise, and coaching, "requires near-heroic measures" in the face of a "very hostile food environment."&lt;br /&gt;He outlined his views in a paper published in the January edition of &lt;em&gt;Health Affairs, &lt;/em&gt;in which he wrote that there are two ways to dramatically reduce the toll of diabetes: One is to detect diabetes early and then treat it so effectively that complications from the disease are practically zero. The other is to prevent diabetes before it even happens.&lt;br /&gt;Thousands of public health campaigns are aimed at prevention, and for diabetes, that generally means losing weight. But people have the "fundamental problem" of not being able to maintain weight loss, so preventing diabetes in a person at high risk for the disease is extremely difficult, Kahn said.&lt;br /&gt;His paper looked at diabetes prevention studies, including the large &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/ADA/27363" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Diabetes Prevention Program&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, in which patients lost an average of between 4% and 6% of their body weight (but gained about 40% back by the end of the nearly three-year trial). It also looked at the government-funded &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/Cardiology/Diabetes/22443" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Look AHEAD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; trial, which found that intensive lifestyle changes resulted in a major reduction in cardiovascular risk factors, but the effects greatly diminished after four years when many participants gained weight and lost their improved fitness.&lt;br /&gt;Kahn said those studies, along with the &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/Endocrinology/Diabetes/4477" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  --  in which the greatest diabetes prevention benefit occurred in people who lost at least 5% of their body weight  --  suggest that "without substantial, sustained weight loss, progression to diabetes will probably resume." Progression to diabetes may be delayed for a few years, but the long-term effects are uncertain, he said.&lt;br /&gt;(However, a preliminary study presented at the &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/ADA/27289" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;American Diabetes Association&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; meeting last year found that a short-term lifestyle modification program for overweight diabetic patients showed long-term benefits for many of the participants.)&lt;br /&gt;"In sum, to date, we have not seen a demonstration of any program that results in a clinically meaningful weight loss that can be maintained for more than two to three years in the great majority of participants and at a low cost," Kahn wrote. &lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kahn's remarks preceded those of Kenneth Thorpe, of Emory University, who outlined how the healthcare reform law laid the groundwork for a national, community-based diabetes prevention strategy modeled on the Diabetes Prevention Program.&lt;br /&gt;Kahn said that would be a waste of money.&lt;br /&gt;"The main argument is that implementing a nationwide community intervention program is not going to do anything, I believe, except waste resources," Kahn told &lt;em&gt;MedPage Today. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kahn said that there are too many unanswered questions about how weight loss works that must be answered before a national program would ever succeed in preventing diabetes in the long term.&lt;br /&gt;"We really need to know what is going on with this complex system we have," he said. "What is going on in our physiology that precludes us from losing weight and keeping it off?"&lt;br /&gt;Another issue that prevents people from keeping weight off is the ubiquity of the "cheap, widely available, delicious food that we eat again and again."&lt;br /&gt;He suggested "painful policies" as the solution  --  such as raising the price of all food except for fruits and vegetables, and offering financial incentives to people who can keep weight off, while penalizing overweight people with higher insurance premiums.&lt;br /&gt;He acknowledged those aggressive policies likely would be unpopular among members of Congress and doctors.&lt;br /&gt;"While we wait for the time when lifestyle modification becomes practical, we might be better served by focusing more attention on improving our understanding of the processes that affect energy intake and expenditure and improving the medical management of diabetes," Kahn wrote. &lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those medical management strategies include making an early diagnosis and administering "proven treatments that have been shown to reduce complications of diabetes and extend life," he said.&lt;br /&gt;He added that the best doctors can offer right now is to suggest to overweight patients that losing 4% body weight and keeping it off can reduce the risk for serious complications of diabetes by 15% to 20%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/"&gt;http://www.medpagetoday.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;COMENTARIO:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;

2011; 104(2): 109-124), Ma said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Yet how the risk of diabetes with statin use varies across populations hasn't been thoroughly explored, he added. So he and colleagues looked at data from the Women's Health Initiative to assess the risk in postmenopausal women.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Data were available for 153,840 women, mean age 63, who didn't have diabetes when they were enrolled in the study in 1993. About 7% of them were on statins at that time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Through follow-up ending in 2005, there were 10,242 cases of new-onset diabetes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;In initial analyses, Ma and colleagues found that statin use at baseline was associated with an increased risk of diabetes (HR 1.71, 95% CI 1.61 to 1.83), and that association remained significant in multivariate analyses controlling for age, race, and weight (HR 1.48, 95% CI 1.38 to 1.59).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Ma said the risk was seen with all types of statins. "It appears to be a class effect," he told &lt;em&gt;MedPage Today&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Risks were increased for all ethnicities, although they did vary slightly, with the highest risks seen among Asians: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;White: HR 1.49, 95% CI 1.38 to 1.62&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;African American: HR 1.18, 95% CI 0.96 to 1.45&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Hispanic: 1.57, 95% CI 1.14 to 2.17&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Asian: HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.32 to 2.40&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;The researchers also found that obesity appeared to be protective against disease; statin use was associated with a higher risk of diabetes in women with a body mass index (BMI) under 25 than in those who had a BMI of 30 or higher.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;They said differences in phenotype, such as weight distribution, may explain the association.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Risk of diabetes also was similarly elevated  --  by about 50%  --  for women with and without heart disease, and was similar if women used either high- or low- potency statins (HR 1.45, 95% CI 1.36 to 1.61; and HR 1.48, 95% CI 1.36 to 1.61, respectively).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;"The take-home message is that different populations have different risks for diabetes" associated with statin use, Annie Culver, BPharm, of the University of Massachusetts and a co-author on the study, told &lt;em&gt;MedPage Today&lt;/em&gt;. "When a statin is indicated, it's very important to continue to monitor for diabetes as well as for the statin effects, so the dose can be adjusted along the way."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Culver added that the findings emphasize current guidelines that recommend lifestyle intervention as the primary means of treating high cholesterol.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;"Too many people are put on a statin who don't have to be," Ma said. "Patients should go on a statin if they can't control [their cholesterol] through dietary intervention, but once they're on that statin they should still continue lifestyle intervention."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Suzanne Steinbaum, MD, director of women and heart disease at Lenox Hill Hospital in Bronx, N.Y., said in an email that it's not yet clear from this one study what the clinical implications are for postmenopausal women on statins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;"Due to the extensive use of statins in the aging female population, it is critical that more studies are done to help understand the association with statins and the development of diabetes," she wrote. "Women who are taking statins should be aware of the need to check their blood sugars, along with their liver function tests."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;The researchers said the study was limited by its observational nature, and because individual statin analysis may be confounded by the fact that women may have changed statin type before developing diabetes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #dbe9f2;

low testosterone may also have effects on insulin sensitivity, research indicates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Several studies have shown that men with low testosterone are more likely to have metabolic troubles, including decreased insulin sensitivity, Bradley Anawalt, MD, of the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, said during a press briefing here, arranged by the Endocrine Society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Much work has linked low serum testosterone levels among men in the general population with metabolic syndrome  --  of which insulin resistance is a key component.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Other studies have shown that low levels of the hormone are particularly common in men with type 2 diabetes, and some have even found it to be common in type 1 disease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Still other studies show that in men with prostate cancer, androgen deprivation therapy, which reduces levels of all androgens in the body, including testosterone, also decreases insulin sensitivity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;In one recent study, however, sex hormone-binding globulin  --  but not testosterone alone  --  was associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, researchers reported.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Mathis Grossmann, MD, PhD, of the University of Melbourne in Australia, who wasn't at the briefing but has conducted several studies on testosterone and its metabolic effects, told &lt;em&gt;MedPage Today&lt;/em&gt; that the hormone's effects on body composition are likely the main mediator of the relationship between low levels and insulin sensitivity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Adequate testosterone levels increase muscle mass and decrease fat mass, Grossmann said, and that has important metabolic effects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Researchers, then, have long speculated whether giving testosterone to patients with metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes could improve their metabolic parameters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Some studies have concluded that the therapy "may represent an important avenue for intervention," but Grossmann said it first needs to be studied in larger, randomized controlled trials.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;"Although testosterone increases muscle and decreases fat, changes that would be favorable to insulin sensitivity, any positive effect from testosterone is likely to be small in most men with low testosterone levels," Anawalt told &lt;em&gt;MedPage Today&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;"The exception to this," he said, "is men with very, very low levels of testosterone, such as those who are surgically or medically castrated. In these men, restoring testosterone levels might have more meaningful effects on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;However, he said that hypogonadism treatments, overall, probably aren't a "promising treatment for improving glucose levels in men with diabetes."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;In the meantime, he said, clinicians recommend that men with both type 2 diabetes and low levels of testosterone should try to improve their metabolism via lifestyle changes such as weight loss and exercise&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;in Sensitivity&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-5023575045206635384?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/5023575045206635384/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/12/low-testosteron-may-affect-insulin.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5023575045206635384'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5023575045206635384'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/12/low-testosteron-may-affect-insulin.html' title='Low Testosteron may affect insulin sensitivity'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-5132438415724817007</id><published>2011-11-21T14:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-21T14:23:57.963-08:00</updated><title type='text'>AHA: Niacin ’AIM’s-HIGH but Falls FLAT</title><content type='html'>Niacin boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol without benefit for clinical outcomes in otherwise well-treated patients, according to a results of a halted, and perhaps inconclusive, clinical trial&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/AHA/29711?utm_content=&amp;amp;utm_medium=email&amp;amp;utm_campaign=DailyHeadlines&amp;amp;utm_source=WC&amp;amp;eun=g419731d0r&amp;amp;userid=419731&amp;amp;email=drvictorcastaneda@gmail.com&amp;amp;mu_id"&gt;http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/AHA/29711?utm_content=&amp;amp;utm_medium=email&amp;amp;utm_campaign=DailyHeadlines&amp;amp;utm_source=WC&amp;amp;eun=g419731d0r&amp;amp;userid=419731&amp;amp;email=drvictorcastaneda@gmail.com&amp;amp;mu_id&lt;/a&gt;=&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-5132438415724817007?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/5132438415724817007/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/11/aha-niacin-aims-high-but-falls-flat.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5132438415724817007'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5132438415724817007'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/11/aha-niacin-aims-high-but-falls-flat.html' title='AHA: Niacin ’AIM’s-HIGH but Falls FLAT'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-3321649824972931600</id><published>2011-11-21T14:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-21T14:02:47.975-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Full results from SATURN study comparing Crestor, Lipitor presented at AHA meeting</title><content type='html'>November 15th, 2011&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full results were presented Tuesday at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions from the late-stage SATURN study comparing AstraZeneca's Crestor (rosuvastatin) and Pfizer's Lipitor (atorvastatin) in patients with coronary artery disease. &lt;a href="http://www.firstwordpharma.com/redirect/ext_link?url=http://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/903510?tsid=33" target="_blank"&gt;Top-line data&lt;/a&gt; released in September showed that AstraZeneca's drug failed to significantly reduce progression of atherosclerosis in high risk patients, compared with Lipitor, missing the main goal of the trial. &lt;br /&gt;The study randomised approximately 1000 patients to receive Crestor 40 milligrams or Lipitor 80 milligrams over a two-year period. Data presented at the conference, and also published in the NEJM, showed that although Crestor led to a numerically greater change from baseline in percent atheroma volume in a segment of the targeted coronary artery as shown by intravascular ultrasound compared to Lipitor, the result was not significant. According to AstraZeneca, the percent of plaque in the arteries fell by 1.22 percent for those who took Crestor, compared with 0.99 percent for those on Lipitor. &lt;br /&gt;Study co-author Steven Nissen noted that the result seen for both drugs was an "unprecedented" level of plaque shrinkage. "We’re not going to tell doctors which drug to use," Nissen remarked, adding that some "will say they were the same on the primary endpoint, and we’ll save money" by using generic copies of Lipitor, whose patent expires in the US on November 30. Nissen noted that the cholesterol lowering effects "favoured Crestor, and some people will choose to use that drug preferentially." &lt;br /&gt;AstraZeneca said that for a secondary measure of normalised total atheroma volume, Crestor demonstrated a significant reduction compared with Lipitor. In addition, patients given Crestor had significantly lower LDL cholesterol levels of 62.6 milligrams per deciliter, versus 70.2 milligrams per deciliter for patients given Lipitor. The UK drugmaker added that Crestor significantly increased levels of HDL cholesterol compared with Lipitor, with levels reaching 50.4 milligrams per deciliter and 48.6 milligrams per deciliter, respectively. &lt;br /&gt;Lead author Stephen Nicholls said "we see a degree of regression in this study that’s beyond anything we have ever seen before, and we see it in two-thirds of patients." He added that "the drugs were enormously well tolerated and they seem very safe." Nicholls noted that the finding that aggressive treatment was safe should ease concerns about side effects that lead some to limit how much they take. &lt;br /&gt;"People will look at this and say generic statins are very good for a lot of patients," Howard Hutchinson, AstraZeneca’s medical director remarked. "However, there are a lot of patients out there that despite treatment with the best generic statins that are available still aren’t able" to get the cholesterol to the target levels that reduce heart risks, Hutchinson added. "It’s for those patients we think Crestor is the most useful," he said. &lt;br /&gt;Crestor generated sales of $5.7 billion last year, while Lipitor recorded revenue of $10.7 billion, with about half coming from the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/926467"&gt;http://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/926467&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-3321649824972931600?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/3321649824972931600/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/11/full-results-from-saturn-study.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/3321649824972931600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/3321649824972931600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/11/full-results-from-saturn-study.html' title='Full results from SATURN study comparing Crestor, Lipitor presented at AHA meeting'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-3237375966325780953</id><published>2011-11-17T10:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-17T10:51:39.054-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Treatment of Functional Abdominal Bloating and Distension</title><content type='html'>M.

Study quality was assessed according to Jadad's score.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt; Of the 89 studies reviewed, 18% evaluated patients with functional dyspepsia, 61% with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), 10% with chronic constipation and 10% with other FGIDs. No studies were conducted in patients diagnosed with functional abdominal bloating. The majority of trials investigated the efficacy of prokinetics or probiotics, although studies are heterogeneous with respect to diagnostic criteria and outcome measures. In general, bloating and/or distension were evaluated as secondary endpoints or as individual symptoms as part of a composite score rather than as primary endpoints. A greater proportion of IBS patients with constipation reported improvement in bloating with tegaserod vs. placebo (51% vs. 40%, P &amp;lt; 0.0001) and lubiprostone (P &amp;lt; 0.001). A greater proportion of nonconstipating IBS patients reported adequate relief of bloating with rifaximin vs. placebo (40% vs. 30%, P &amp;lt; 0.001). Bloating was significantly reduced with the probiotics, Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 (1 × 108 dose vs. placebo: −.71 vs. −.44, P &amp;lt; 0.05) and B. animalis (live vs. heat-killed: −.56 ± 1.01 vs. −.31 ± 0.87, P = 0.03).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions &lt;/strong&gt;Prokinetics, lubiprostone, antibiotics and probiotics demonstrate efficacy for the treatment of bloating and/or distension in certain FGIDs, but other agents have either not been studied adequately or have shown conflicting results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Completo en:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/741932"&gt;http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/741932&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-3237375966325780953?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/3237375966325780953/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/11/treatment-of-functional-abdominal.html#comment-form' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/3237375966325780953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/3237375966325780953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/11/treatment-of-functional-abdominal.html' title='The Treatment of Functional Abdominal Bloating and Distension'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-5126553721780135975</id><published>2011-11-11T09:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T09:37:35.885-08:00</updated><title type='text'>THE LIVING BRIDGE - Maravilla !!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.snotr.com/video/7331/The_Living_Bridge"&gt;http://www.snotr.com/video/7331/The_Living_Bridge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-5126553721780135975?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/5126553721780135975/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/11/living-bridge-maravilla.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5126553721780135975'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5126553721780135975'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/11/living-bridge-maravilla.html' title='THE LIVING BRIDGE - Maravilla !!!'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-7723480108531629381</id><published>2011-11-09T21:13:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-09T21:13:27.697-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Fenofibric Acid May Not Cut Cardiac Risk, FDA Warns</title><content type='html'>The FDA ordered on Wednesday that the label for fenofibric acid (Trilipix) be changed to indicate that the lipid-lowering drug has not been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.&lt;br /&gt;Data from a substudy of the ACCORD (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes) trial found no extra benefit in clinical outcomes from a combination of fenofibric acid and simvastatin (Zocor) compared with simvastatin alone, prompting the agency's move, it said in a Drug Safety Communication&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FDA had indicated that it was considering &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/ACC/19002" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;changes to the fenofibric acid label last March&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; when the data first became available. Its Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee also &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/Cardiology/Dyslipidemia/26591" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;reviewed the data&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; at a meeting in May. The panel voted merely to recommend additional study rather than an immediate label change.&lt;br /&gt;The FDA usually follows its advisory committees' recommendations, but is not obliged to do so  --  and, in this case, agency officials went with their own judgment, ordering the label change as well as a new study.&lt;br /&gt;According to the new communication, "FDA is requiring the manufacturer of Trilipix to conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to test the hypothesis that Trilipix in combination with a statin versus statin alone significantly reduces the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events in high-risk men and women who are at their low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol goal on statin therapy, but have residually high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol."&lt;br /&gt;The ACCORD data covered about 5,500 patients randomized to the combination or to simvastatin alone. After a median of 4.7 years of follow-up, the addition of fenofibric acid reduced major cardiovascular events by a statistically insignificant 8% (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;=0.32).&lt;br /&gt;Events in men were reduced by 18%  --  which was statistically significant  --  but, the FDA said, "the clinical significance of this subgroup finding is unclear, as this finding was not observed in a separate large randomized controlled clinical trial of fenofibrate versus placebo."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-7723480108531629381?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/7723480108531629381/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/11/fenofibric-acid-may-not-cut-cardiac.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/7723480108531629381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/7723480108531629381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/11/fenofibric-acid-may-not-cut-cardiac.html' title='Fenofibric Acid May Not Cut Cardiac Risk, FDA Warns'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-349768426005848575</id><published>2011-11-07T18:54:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-07T18:54:30.633-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="messageBody translationEligibleUserMessage" data-ft="{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:3}"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Doctor.....!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="messageBody translationEligibleUserMessage" data-ft="{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:3}"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;ayúdeme.... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="messageBody translationEligibleUserMessage" data-ft="{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:3}"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;soy lesbiana..... mi mamá.... también y...... mis primas también!  &lt;br /&gt;Niña....!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="messageBody translationEligibleUserMessage" data-ft="{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:3}"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;pero en tu casa no hay nadie que le gusten los hombres????

During a mean follow-up of 55.8 months, each 5 mg/dL increase in HDL was associated with a 4% lower risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A categorical analysis centered on a baseline HDL showed that a ≥6.5 mg/dL decrease was associated with an 11% increase in CVD risk, whereas a ≥6.5 mg/dL increase reduced the CVD hazard by 8%, as compared with individuals who remained within 6.4 mg/dL of baseline values.&lt;br /&gt;"Our results add to the growing body of evidence that increasing the HDL cholesterol levels might be an important strategy for CVD risk reduction," Gregory A. Nichols, PhD, of Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Ore., and co-authors wrote in an article published online in the &lt;em&gt;American Journal of Cardiology&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;"The prevention of HDL cholesterol decreases could be equally important," they said.&lt;br /&gt;Patients with type 2 diabetes have a substantially elevated risk of CVD, with estimates ranging as high as 87% greater compared with nondiabetic adults. Reduction of LDL cholesterol remains the focus of lipid management to reduce CVD risk.&lt;br /&gt;However, clinical trials of intensive LDL-lowering with statin drugs have shown that at least 10% of patients have major CVD events, the authors noted in their introduction.&lt;br /&gt;Glycemic control remains the focus of diabetes management, although &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/ADA/9739" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;intensive hypoglycemic treatment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has failed to reduce CVD risk in type 2 diabetics, they continued. The findings suggest that treatment targets other than LDL and hemoglobin A1c deserve consideration.&lt;br /&gt;HDL cholesterol offers one potential target for CVD risk reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes. About half of diabetic patients have low HDL levels, an observation that has generated speculation that raising HDL levels might substantially reduce CVD risk in that patient population.&lt;br /&gt;Clinical studies have yet to produce clear evidence that increasing HDL levels will reduce CVD risk in type 2 diabetes, possibly because of the lack of safe and effective agents, the authors continued.&lt;br /&gt;Attempts to use drugs to raise HDL have generally been unsuccessful. Several trials of HDL-raising drugs have been stopped because of an increase in cardiovascular events and mortality including &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/Cardiology/Atherosclerosis/4625" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;ILLUMINATE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/ESCCongress/26713" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;AIM-HIGH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The search continues, however, for a safe HDL-raising drug. Researchers reported at this year's European Society of Cardiology meeting positive results for such a drug in the &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/ESCCongress/28254" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;phase IIb dal-VESSEL trial,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/AHA/23471" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;DEFINE trial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, reported at last year's American Heart Association meeting, showed good results for anacetrapib in terms of safety and efficacy.&lt;br /&gt;In addition, the FDA on Oct. 7 approved Juvisync (sitagliptin and simvastatin), the first combination drug to treat type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol in one tablet.&lt;br /&gt;In an effort to inform on the association between HDL level and CVD risk in type 2 diabetes, Nichols and colleagues performed a retrospective cohort study of 30,067 members of the Kaiser Permanente Northwest and Georgia regions. All patients had type 2 diabetes and had at least two HDL cholesterol measurements during 2001 to 2006.&lt;br /&gt;Investigators analyzed clinical data on the patients through 2009 to determine whether change in HDL cholesterol influenced subsequent risk of CVD-related hospitalization. They examined HDL cholesterol continuously and by three categories: HDL increase ≥6.5 mg/dL from baseline, decrease ≥6.5 mg/dL, and no increase or decrease &amp;gt;6.4 mg/dL.&lt;br /&gt;During follow-up, 61% of the patients had HDL levels that remained within 6.4 mg/dL of baseline values, 21.6% had ≥6.5 mg/dL increases in HDL, and 17% had ≥6.5 mg/dL decreases.&lt;br /&gt;The authors found that 3,023 (10.1%) patients had CVD-related hospitalizations during the follow-up period. After multivariate adjustment, they found that every 5 mg/dL greater baseline HDL level was associated with a statistically significant 6% reduction in the hazard for CVD hospitalization (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.0001), and each 5 mg/dL increase from baseline was associated with a 4% reduction in CVD risk (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.003).&lt;br /&gt;The categorical analysis showed that every 6.5 mg/dL increase in HDL during follow-up was associated with an 8% reduction in CVD risk, which did not achieve statistical significance (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;=0.077). However, each 6.5% or greater decrease in HDL was associated with a significant 11% increase in the CVD hospitalization hazard (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;=0.047).&lt;br /&gt;Acknowledging the study's limitations, the authors wrote that an observational study cannot prove causality. They also noted that they could not determine the reasons for changes in HDL levels or whether the changes were maintained throughout the follow-up period.&lt;br /&gt;In addition, 24% of patients with type 2 diabetes could not be included in the study because they did not have two HDL measurements.&lt;br /&gt;"Despite these limitations, we have concluded that the changes in HDL cholesterol are associated with changes in the risk of CVD hospitalizations," the authors wrote in conclusion. "Additional study is needed to understand the role of improving HDL cholesterol in a multifactorial prevention strategy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Primary source: &lt;/strong&gt;American Journal of Cardiology&lt;br /&gt;Source reference:&lt;br /&gt;Nichols GA, et al "Change in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and risk of subsequent hospitalization for coronary artery disease or stroke among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus" &lt;em&gt;Am J Cardiol&lt;/em&gt; 2011; DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2011.05.047. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://pubget.com/widgetizer/link_js?doi=10.1016/j.amjcard.2011.05.047&amp;amp;target=_blank&amp;amp;gif=http://clf4.medpagetoday.com/images/pdfdoc.gif"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;a href="http://pubget.com/doi/10.1016/j.amjcard.2011.05.047" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-5321089266364771281?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/5321089266364771281/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/10/cuan-importante-es-el-hdl-c-en-los.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5321089266364771281'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5321089266364771281'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/10/cuan-importante-es-el-hdl-c-en-los.html' title='Cuan importante es el HDL-c en los diabéticos !?'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-5414976274312638571</id><published>2011-10-26T13:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T13:54:57.909-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WCIR: Testosterone Has Links to Insulin</title><content type='html'>Men with lower than normal testosterone appear to have higher fasting insulin levels, but researchers cautioned against overtreatment because men with high testosterone had an adverse blood lipid profile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men with low testosterone had insulin measurements of about 6.3 microIU/mL compared with about 5.0 microIU/mL for men with normal testosterone (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;=0.003) and about 4 microIU/mL for men with high testosterone (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;=0.01), according to Margaret Groves, M.Phil, M.Ed, a researcher with ZRT Laboratories in Beaverton, Ore.&lt;br /&gt;However, men with high testosterone had higher LDL cholesterol (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;=0.02) and lower HDL cholesterol (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05), Groves said here at a poster presentation during the World Congress on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease.&lt;br /&gt;"What our study showed is that low testosterone is related to insulin resistance in men," she told &lt;em&gt;MedPage Today&lt;/em&gt;, "but we also saw that too much testosterone isn't good either."&lt;br /&gt;She encouraged doctors to monitor testosterone  --  especially in light of recent advertisements warning men about "low T"  --  with either saliva or dried blood spot testing. "These tests can ensure testosterone levels remain in a physiological range for optimum cardiometabolic risk benefits," she said.&lt;br /&gt;"Testosterone supplementation is being increasingly used to help reverse symptoms of metabolic syndrome and improve cardiovascular disease risk in men," Groves noted. "However, data is sparse regarding the direct effects of testosterone levels on cardiometabolic risk markers."&lt;br /&gt;The study Groves and her colleagues conducted to help provide that data enrolled 228 men, excluding those with diagnosed diabetes.&lt;br /&gt;For purposes of the study, they defined low testosterone as less than 300 ng/dl in the dried blood test or less than 4 pg/dl in the saliva test; normal testosterone was defined as in the 300 to 800 ng/dl range with the blood spot test and 40 to 140 pg/dl with the saliva tests; high testosterone was defined as greater than 800 ng/dl with the blood spot tests and greater than 140 pg/dl with the saliva test.&lt;br /&gt;One of the 20 men with low testosterone reported being on testosterone therapy, 15 of the 174 men with normal testosterone reported being on therapy, and 24 of the 34 men with high testosterone were on therapy.&lt;br /&gt;Besides the positive effect on insulin levels, high testosterone was also associated with lower C-reactive protein  --  a marker of inflammation  --  levels (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05).&lt;br /&gt;There were no significant differences between the group in glycosylated hemoglobin A1c levels, in triglycerides, or in total cholesterol.&lt;br /&gt;"Moderation in testosterone supplementation is important," said Helen Hilts, MD, of DiabeVita Medical Center in Scottsdale, Ariz.&lt;br /&gt;She told &lt;em&gt;MedPage Today&lt;/em&gt; that doctors should be seeking a balanced view, noting that testosterone supplementation does appear to improve some parameters of a man's metabolic profile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Primary source: &lt;/strong&gt;World Congress on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease&lt;br /&gt;Source reference:&lt;br /&gt;Kapur S "Cardiometabolic risk factors and testosterone levels in men: Implications for testosterone supplementation" &lt;em&gt;WCIR&lt;/em&gt; 2010; Abstract 65.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-5414976274312638571?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/5414976274312638571/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/10/wcir-testosterone-has-links-to-insulin.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5414976274312638571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5414976274312638571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/10/wcir-testosterone-has-links-to-insulin.html' title='WCIR: Testosterone Has Links to Insulin'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-702964104435305066</id><published>2011-10-26T13:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T13:42:22.846-07:00</updated><title type='text'>EASD: Novel DPP-4 Drug Works in Renal Impairment</title><content type='html'>STOCKHOLM  --  The novel diabetes drug linagliptin (proposed trade name Ondero) may find a niche in treating patients with kidney problems, diabetologists suggested here.&lt;br /&gt;In a phase III study of patients who couldn't take metformin because of the drug's GI side effects or renal impairment, linagliptin effectively reduced glycated hemoglobin and glucose compared with placebo, Anthony H.

Those engaging in the equivalent of 300 min/wk of moderate- intensity leisure-time physical activity (2008 US federal guidelines for additional benefits) had a 20% (relative risk, 0.80) lower risk. At higher levels of physical activity, relative risks were modestly lower. People who were physically active at levels lower than the minimum recommended amount also had significantly lower risk of coronary heart disease. There was a significant interaction by sex.

Esto nos ayudará a responder a la pregunta de si internet está cambiando  nuestros cerebros", dijo Ryota Kanai, del University College de Londres (UCL),  uno de los investigadores involucrados en el estudio.&lt;br /&gt;Kanai y sus colegas usaron imágenes por resonancia magnética (IRM) para  estudiar los cerebros de 125 estudiantes universitarios, todos ellos usuarios  activos de la red social Facebook, y cotejaron sus resultados con otro grupo de  más de 40 estudiantes.&lt;br /&gt;El equipo halló una fuerte relación entre el número de amigos de Facebook y  la cantidad de "materia gris" en la amígdala, el surco temporal superior  derecho, la circunvolución temporal media izquierda y la corteza entorrinal  derecha. La materia gris es la capa de tejido cerebral donde se produce el  procesamiento mental.&lt;br /&gt;El espesor de la materia gris en la amígdala también se vinculó con el número  de amigos que tenía la gente en el mundo real, pero el tamaño de las otras tres  regiones parecía estar relacionado sólo con las conexiones "online".&lt;br /&gt;Los estudiantes tenían, en promedio, alrededor de 300 amigos en Facebook. Los  más conectados tenían hasta 1.000.&lt;br /&gt;Con más de 800 millones de usuarios activos, Facebook se ha convertido en un  componente importante de la interacción social, especialmente entre los  jóvenes.&lt;br /&gt;"Las redes sociales online son enormemente influyentes, pero conocemos muy  poco sobre el impacto que tienen en nuestros cerebros. Esto ha llevado a una  gran cantidad de especulaciones sin fundamento de que internet es de alguna  manera malo para nosotros", dijo Geraint Rees, también del UCL.&lt;br /&gt;"Esto demuestra que podemos utilizar algunas de las poderosas herramientas de  la neurociencia moderna para abordar las cuestiones importantes: es decir,  cuáles son los efectos de las redes sociales -y de las redes sociales online en  particular- en mi cerebro", añadió.&lt;br /&gt;Los resultados del estudio fueron publicados el miércoles en la revista  Proceedings of the Royal Society B.&lt;br /&gt;Heidi Johansen-Berg, de la Universidad de Oxford, que no participó en la  investigación, dijo que los resultados son interesantes, pero que no  significaban que Facebook sea un atajo para que las personas se vuelvan más  inteligentes.&lt;br /&gt;"Si hoy tuviera 100 nuevos amigos en Facebook, su cerebro no sería más grande  mañana", aclaró. "El estudio no nos puede decir si el uso de internet es bueno o  malo para nuestros cerebros", finalizó la experta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: &lt;a href="http://www.intramed.net/contenidover.asp?contenidoID=73218"&gt;http://www.intramed.net/contenidover.asp?contenidoID=73218&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;

Evidence-Based Answer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreen"&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;Metformin use in patients with diabetes who have a creatinine concentration between 1.5 and 2.5 mg/dL has not clearly been shown to worsen renal function or increase the risk of lactic acidosis. (SOR: B, based on a small RCT and cohort studies.) Still, clinical caution is advised, as rare serious adverse outcomes are hard to study.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxt"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Metformin is a first-line treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and has been shown to reduce total mortality in this population. However, metformin is thought to increase the risk of lactic acidosis and is considered contraindicated in patients with renal insufficiency.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 2010 Cochrane review studied prospective and retrospective cohort trials assessing the risk of lactic acidosis and metformin use in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this review, a total 96,295 participants were followed for 125,941 patient-years. The incidence of metformin-associated lactic acidosis was 4.3 per 100,000 patient-years, compared with 5.4 per 100,000 patient-years in the non-metformin group.1 However, only 53% of the studies reviewed allowed the inclusion of patients with renal insufficiency (defined as having a serum creatinine concentration &amp;gt;1.5 mg/dL), which involved 37,360 patient-years of metformin use. Therefore, most patients in the review did not have an elevated creatinine level and an assessment for the worsening of renal function or association of renal failure and lactic acidosis could not be made.1   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 2002 randomized trial followed patients with elevated serum creatinine and continued metformin use. This study randomly assigned 393 metformin-treated patients with diabetes who developed the contraindication of an elevated creatinine concentration (1.49–2.49 mg/dL) to either continue metformin (198 patients) or discontinue metformin (195 patients). The average creatinine at baseline was 2.14 mg/dL in the metformin group and 2.11 mg/dL in the discontinuation group. The serum creatinine increased to 2.44 mg/dL (16%) in the discontinuation group and to 2.35 mg/dL (10%) in the metformin group (difference not significant). The plasma lactate concentration level increased from 1.5 mmol/L in both groups to 1.61 mmol/L in the metformin group and 1.63 mmol/L in the discontinuation group (difference not significant) over a 4-year period. In this study, there were no cases of lactic acidosis.2  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2001, a retrospective cohort study of 1,847 adult patients with type 2 diabetes evaluated the use of metformin after the development of contraindications— including renal insufficiency. During the 30-month study, 88 patients developed renal insufficiency and 66 of those patients (75%) were either continued or started on metformin. Out of the total study population, there was only 1 episode of lactic acidosis in 4,600 patient-years, and that 1 episode was attributed to a myocardial infarction. No patients with renal impairment developed lactic acidosis.3 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxt"&gt;1. Salpeter SR, Greyber E, Pasternak GA, Salpeter EE.

The product combines the company's DPP-4 inhibitor Januvia (sitagliptin) with its statin Zocor (simvastatin). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The agency noted that the fixed-dose combination product is based on "substantial experience" with both individual drugs, and the ability of the single tablet to deliver similar amounts of the compounds to the bloodstream as when they are dosed separately. Mary H. Parks, director of the Division of Metabolism and Endocrinology Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, remarked that "to ensure safe and effective use of this product, tablets containing different doses of sitagliptin and simvastatin in fixed-dose combination have been developed to meet the different needs of individual patients."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/914838"&gt;http://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/914838&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-5179337477865748670?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/5179337477865748670/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/10/fda-announced-approval-of.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5179337477865748670'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5179337477865748670'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/10/fda-announced-approval-of.html' title='The FDA announced approval of sitagliptin/simvastatin'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-2887409827243852650</id><published>2011-10-08T21:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-08T21:01:45.262-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Si se preguntan quién demostró que un IECA era ideal en obesos hipertensos hiperinsulinémicos...</title><content type='html'>&lt;table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align="center" bgcolor="#ffffff" style="margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 10px;" width="80%"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/" name="tit"&gt;&lt;span class="ed_titulo" style="background-color: white;"&gt;REDUCCION DE PESO Y TRATAMIENTO FARMACOLOGICO EN PACIENTES  OBESOS HIPERTENSOS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;td align="left" bgcolor="#ffffff" style="margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 10px;" width="80%"&gt;&lt;span class="ed_Esencia"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Introducción&lt;/b&gt;La fuerte asociación entre obesidad e  hipertensión arterial (HTA) ha sido ampliamente documentada en numerosas  encuestas sobre población general. Se ha informado que el riesgo de hipertensión  en pacientes obesos ascendería por encima del 50% al 300% si se lo compara con  individuos de peso normal. Numerosas evidencias, tanto epidemiológicas como  experimentales, señalan estrechas interrelaciones entre hiperinsulinemia,  sobreactivación del sistema nervioso simpático, hiperleptinemia e HTA asociada  con obesidad.El objetivo del presente estudio, dicen los autores, es esclarecer  los mecanismos que logran una reducción de la tensión arterial (TA) a través de  la disminución del peso, y los potenciales beneficios asociados con el uso de  inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina (inhibidores de la ECA),  como enalapril, y bloqueantes de los canales de calcio de acción prolongada,  como amlodipina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="ed_Esencia"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Materiales y métodos&lt;/b&gt;Para llevar adelante este estudio los  autores incluyeron 5 grupos de 20 personas entre 37 y 54 años de edad, obesos e  hipertensos tratados ya sea con un programa de reducción de peso, con un  programa de reducción de peso asociado a enalapril o amlodipina, o con  farmacoterapia sola (enalapril o amlodipina). A su vez, estos grupos fueron  divididos en los que lograron una reducción de peso exitosa (disminución del 10%  o más en el índice de masa corporal) en los primeros 6 meses de tratamiento, y  aquellos que no tuvieron éxito.Las mediciones realizadas fueron índice de masa  corporal, TA, frecuencia cardíaca, insulinemia, leptinemia y niveles de  norepinefrina; al inicio del estudio, a los 3, 6 y 12 meses.La TA deseada fue de  140/90 mmHg o menos, y la reducción de peso se logró con la inclusión de una  dieta hipocalórica y actividad física. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="ed_Esencia"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Resultados&lt;/b&gt;Independientemente del  uso de agentes farmacológicos, en el grupo que logró una reducción de peso  exitosa, el porcentaje de reducción de los niveles plasmáticos de insulina,  leptina y norepinefrina fue significativamente mayor y se produjo más  precozmente que en los grupos que sólo recibieron tratamiento farmacológico. En  el grupo tratado con enalapril, las reducciones plasmáticas de norepinefrina,  insulina y especialmente leptina fueron mayores que en los otros grupos. Por el  contrario, en el grupo que sólo recibió amlodipina, si bien se produjeron  reducciones de insulina y leptina, fueron menores y más tardías; no se  observaron cambios en los niveles de norepinefrina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="ed_Esencia"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Discusión&lt;/b&gt;Una de las  razones por las que se eligió utilizar inhibidores de la ECA -como enalapril- y  bloqueantes de los canales de calcio de acción prolongada -como amlodipina-  obedeció a que estos agentes presentan efectos contrastantes sobre la actividad  simpática. Mientras que los inhibidores de la ECA inhiben la acción simpática,  los otros la estimulan.Los principales hallazgos que se desprenden del presente  estudio son los siguientes, dicen los autores:- En sujetos obesos e hipertensos,  la pérdida de peso tiene efectos más favorables sobre la hiperinsulinemia, la  hiperleptinemia y la sobreactivación simpática que el uso de agentes  farmacológicos en forma aislada.- La pérdida de peso amplifica los efectos de  los inhibidores de la ECA (enalapril) y de los bloqueantes de los canales de  calcio de acción prolongada (amlodipina). Es decir, se logra una mejoría sobre  la función metabólica y el efecto depresor sobre la TA es mayor.- Los  inhibidores de la ECA producen un efecto más sorpresivo en la disminución de los  niveles plasmáticos de leptina.- La normalización o supresión de la  sobreactividad simpática, con la reducción subsecuente de hiperinsulinemia e  hiperleptinemia, parece ser el factor principal en la reducción de la TA  asociada con el descenso de peso.De esta manera, se considera que la reducción  de peso sería la alternativa terapéutica de primera línea en la HTA asociada con  obesidad.Estos hallazgos sugieren que la normalización o supresión de la  sobreactivación simpática podría ser el punto inicial en la reducción de la TA  inducida por la pérdida de peso, además de producir una reducción de los niveles  de insulina y leptina.Por lo tanto, de ello se desprende que el papel principal  en los cambios producidos sobre la TA al disminuir el peso lo desempeñarían los  cambios en la actividad simpática. Otros cambios hormonales, como la  hiperinsulinemia y la hiperleptinemia, serían respuestas secundarias a las  alternancias en el nivel de activación simpática.Con bloqueantes de los canales  de calcio de acción prolongada, como amlodipina, la reducción de insulina y  leptina plasmática fue significativamente menor que con inhibidores de la ECA.  De hecho, se encuentra bien establecido que estos últimos son supresores de la  actividad simpática. Además, la supresión fue mayor con la acción combinada de  un inhibidor de la ECA y un programa de reducción de peso que con un agente  farmacológico solamente. Uno de los hallazgos más intrigantes fue el poderoso  efecto de los inhibidores de la ECA para disminuir los niveles de leptina.Es  posible que en obesos hipertensos con el uso único de un inhibidor de la ECA la  reducción de la insulina plasmática preceda a la de leptina. Esto sugiere cierta  cronología: supresión de la actividad simpática, reducción de los niveles de  insulina, y por último reducción de los niveles de leptina.En síntesis, la  reducción de la norepinefrina plasmática, de insulina y leptina con bloqueantes  de los canales de calcio es menor a la observada en sujetos tratados con  enalapril.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="ed_Esencia"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusiones&lt;/b&gt; La reducción de peso debe considerarse como un  componente esencial de los programas de tratamiento de la HTA asociada con  obesidad. La pérdida de peso permite disminuir las dosis de droga necesaria para  lograr una reducción de la TA. A su vez, se puede observar una respuesta  metabólica favorable a la pérdida de peso, ya sea sólo con un programa para su  reducción o en combinación con agentes antihipertensivos.La disminución de la TA  asociada con la reducción de peso se asocia con la supresión de la  sobreactivación simpática, que a su vez se acompaña de una normalización de la  hiperinsulinemia y de la hiperleptinemia frecuente en la HTA asociada con  obesidad. La reducción del tono simpático podría disminuir el riesgo cardíaco,  posiblemente a partir de efectos directos sobre la vasculatura y a través de la  mejoría de los factores metabólicos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="cit"&gt;&lt;a abstractlink="yes" alsec="jour" alterm="Am J Hypertens." href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11411732#" title="American journal of hypertension."&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Am J Hypertens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt; 2001 Jun;14(6 Pt 1):530-8.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Weight reduction and pharmacologic treatment in obese hypertensives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class="auths"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=%22Masuo%20K%22%5BAuthor%5D"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Masuo K&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=%22Mikami%20H%22%5BAuthor%5D"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Mikami H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=%22Ogihara%20T%22%5BAuthor%5D"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Ogihara T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=%22Tuck%20ML%22%5BAuthor%5D"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Tuck ML&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="aff"&gt;&lt;h3 class="label"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Department of Geriatric Medicine, Osaka University  Graduate School of Medicine, Suita City, Japan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-2887409827243852650?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/2887409827243852650/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/10/si-se-preguntan-quien-demostro-que-un.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/2887409827243852650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/2887409827243852650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/10/si-se-preguntan-quien-demostro-que-un.html' title='Si se preguntan quién demostró que un IECA era ideal en obesos hipertensos hiperinsulinémicos...'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-5558592351766355733</id><published>2011-10-08T14:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-08T14:41:53.545-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Internal Medicine 2011- ACP American College of Physicians</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="copete"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Algunos de ños aspectos destacados de una de las reuniones más  importantes de la Medicina Interna del mundo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Farmacología&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Inhibidores  de la bomba de protones&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;:&lt;/em&gt; se ha demostrado que aumentan el  riesgo de fracturas y de infección por Cl.

Disminuyen la absorción de  azoles, hierro y hormona tiroidea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sildenafil:&lt;/em&gt; se recomienda su  uso con 4 horas de diferencia con los alfa bloqueantes (doxasozina, terasozina)  y nitratos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Estatinas:&lt;/em&gt; la amiodarona aumenta el riesgo de  rabdomiólisis, al igual que los fibratos, antifúngicos, macrólidos y bolqueantes  cálcicos. Las mialgias con CPK normal (5-18%) pueden mejorar con el uso en días  alternos o hasta una dosis semanal antes de pasar a otra droga.

La albúmina es un marcador poco sensible y  desciende al 4° día de la internación. El internista mide la necesidad de  nutrición suplementaria conociendo: a) si hubo pérdida de peso (&amp;gt;10% en 6 ó  &amp;gt;5 % en 3 meses), b) si la injuria es leve, moderada o severa (balance  nitrogenado) y c) anticipar cuanto tiempo calculado sin ingesta oral. Si no hay  riesgo, puede esperarse hasta 7-14 días, pero solo se espera 5-7 días si hay  riesgo moderado o 1-3 días en pacientes con desnutrición o riesgo  alto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La nutrición parenteral periférica requiere de grandes volúmenes  pues se requiere osmolalidad &amp;lt; 900 mOsm. &lt;br /&gt;En enfermedad celíaca, la IgA anti transglutaminasa es el mejor test de  screening.

Estas superbacterias, que tienen resistencia genética a  los antibióticos, contaminaron las fuentes de agua de Nueva Delhi y también  afectan extensamente a Pakistán. El gen se separó a través de una bacteria que  causa la disentería y el cólera, que pueden pasar fácilmente a las personas vía  aguas residuales contaminadas. Los científicos piden una acción sanitaria  mundial urgente para evitar su expansión global. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Organización Mundial de la Salud indicó que la “Nueva Deli”, también  conocida como “Superbug NDM-1”, ya fue encontrada en pacientes británicos y  alcanza niveles críticos. Estas superbacterias son resistentes a los  “antibióticos carbapenem”, descubiertos en el microorganismo &lt;i&gt;Streptomyces  cattleya&lt;/i&gt;, que produce su propio antibiótico llamado "tienamicina". Los  expertos están preocupados porque los “carbapenem” se utilizan para infecciones  difíciles de tratar con otras drogas. En Europa ya han muerto 25.000 personas  contaminadas por superbugs. El problema se agudizará, a menos que se desarrollen  nuevos antibióticos más potentes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para ver el resto:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.rebelion.org/noticia.php?id=137015"&gt;http://www.rebelion.org/noticia.php?id=137015&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-2062781183938875146?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/2062781183938875146/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/10/las-25-noticias-mas-censuradas-20102011.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/2062781183938875146'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/2062781183938875146'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/10/las-25-noticias-mas-censuradas-20102011.html' title='Las 25 noticias más censuradas 2010/2011'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pvsnz7Zaq0U/To-XW7kf6uI/AAAAAAAAAh4/l79F5FmHYUs/s72-c/Censor.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-2076487137522211879</id><published>2011-10-06T12:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-06T12:27:21.097-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sabe ud. quién escribió la primera declaración de independencia de Las Américas ???</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MHbDBi-lKRU/To4A4SnmTzI/AAAAAAAAAh0/D-sbRROH-Cw/s1600/Guillen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MHbDBi-lKRU/To4A4SnmTzI/AAAAAAAAAh0/D-sbRROH-Cw/s320/Guillen.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guillén Lombardo, también conocido en inglés como William Lamport, fue un aventurero irlandés que fue estudiante, pirata, soldado, espía, miembro del corte de Felipe IV&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; y rebelde. Fue a México en los años 1640&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; como un espía, estando allí simpatizó con los indios y esclavos lo cual lo llevó a idear un complot para declarar la independencia del país. Fue sin embargo, descubierto por la Inquisición que encontró sus planes y fue condenado a la hoguera.

justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Por lo tanto, las citas cada dos semanas serían lo mejor para los pacientes  con un mal manejo de la enfermedad", concluyen los autores de un nuevo  estudio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cuando la diabetes está controlada, "la frecuencia de las citas con el médico  debería disminuir para aliviar la carga sobre los recursos de atención de la  salud y, también, recompensar al paciente", sugiere el equipo en Archives of  Internal Medicine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;El equipo de Alexander Turchin, del Brigham and Women's Hospital en Boston,  destaca que las guías no establecen con qué frecuencia el médico debe controlar  a los pacientes diabéticos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Entonces, el equipo realizó un análisis retrospectivo de datos de casi 26.500  pacientes con diabetes, hiperglucemia, hipertensión y/o hiperlipidemia para  determinar cuánto demoraban en alcanzar los parámetros meta, según la frecuencia  de los controles médicos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Para capturar las interacciones cara a cara y remotas entre médicos y  pacientes, definimos toda anotación en la historia clínica electrónica (HCE)  como una consulta", explica el equipo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Los autores observaron que el período hasta alcanzar todos los objetivos del  tratamiento aumentaba progresivamente a medida que se prolongaban los intervalos  entre las consultas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Por ejemplo: los pacientes que no utilizaban insulina que consultaban al  médico con un intervalo de una a dos semanas demoraban 4,4 meses en lograr un  nivel de HbA1c inferior al 7 por ciento, mientras que los que consultaban cada  tres a seis meses tardaban 24,9 meses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Y ambos grupos demoraron 1,3 y 13,9 meses, respectivamente, en alcanzar los  valores meta de presión (menos de 130/85 mm Hg). El nivel de colesterol LDL  inferior a 100 mg/dL lo lograron en 5,1 versus 32,8 meses. Todas estas  diferencias fueron estadísticamente significativas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"El tiempo necesario para controlar casi todos los parámetros de la  enfermedad disminuyó progresivamente a medida la frecuencia de las consultas  crecía a una cada dos semanas, según la farmacodinámica de las distintas clases  de medicamentos", resume el equipo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Aun así, los autores sostienen que no se puede inferir una relación causal  entre la frecuencia de las consultas y los resultados terapéuticos porque el  estudio era retrospectivo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Se necesita un estudio randomizado para definir cuál es la frecuencia óptima  de las consultas médicas para los pacientes con diabetes mellitus", añadió el  equipo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;El doctor Allan H. Goroll, de la Escuela de Medicina de Harvard y del  Hospital General de Massachusetts, en Boston, analizó estos resultados según los  reembolsos que reciben los médicos en Estados Unidos, donde las tarifas ya no  dependen de la cantidad de pacientes atendidos, sino de la calidad de la  atención.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Los médicos "necesitarán saber qué medidas basadas en evidencias dan los  mejores resultados" y el nuevo estudio aporta esa información.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Según indicó Goroll, los tratamientos basados en evidencias pueden tener un  efecto importante en la morbilidad y la mortalidad de la población con  enfermedades como la diabetes, la hipertensión y la hiperlipidemia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.intramed.net/contenidover.asp?contenidoID=72949" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.intramed.net/&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;contenidover.asp?contenidoID=&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;72949&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;When It Comes to Primary Care, More May Be More: Comment on "Encounter  Frequency and Serum&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Glucose Level, Blood Pressure, and Cholesterol Level Control  in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Allan H.

Su cohorte de un total de 151 pacientes consecutivos que se habían beneficiado de la BGAL entre enero de 1994, y diciembre de 1997 evaluado por lo menos 12 años después del procedimiento inicial. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;Ellos encontraron: "La edad media de los pacientes fue 50 años (rango, 28-73 años). La tasa de mortalidad operatoria fue de cero. En general, la tasa de seguimiento fue de 54,3% (82 de 151 pacientes). La tasa de mortalidad a largo plazo por causas no relacionadas fue de 3,7%. El veintidós por ciento de los pacientes presentaron complicaciones menores, y el 39% experimentaron complicaciones mayores (28% erosión por la banda). Diecisiete por ciento de los pacientes tenía su procedimiento de conmutación de laparoscopia bypass gástrico en Y. En general, (intención de tratar) la pérdida del exceso de peso fue del 42,8% (rango 24% -143%) Treinta y seis pacientes (51,4%) todavía tenía su banda, y su pérdida significativa del exceso de peso fue del 48% (rango 38% -. 58%) En términos generales, el índice de satisfacción fue bueno para 60,3 % de los pacientes. El nivel de calidad de vida (utilizando el Análisis Bariátrica y Sistema de Información de Resultados) fue neutral". Los autores concluyeron: "En base a un seguimiento del 54,3% de los pacientes, la BGAL parece ser el resultado de la pérdida media de un exceso de peso de 42,8% después de 12 años o más. De los 78 pacientes, 47 (60,3%) estaban satisfechos, y el índice de calidad de vida era neutral. &lt;span style="background-color: yellow; color: black;"&gt;Sin embargo, debido a que casi 1 de cada 3 pacientes experimentaron erosión con la banda, y casi 50 % de los pacientes requirió la eliminación de sus bandas (que contribuye a una tasa de reintervención del 60%), la BGAL parece tener un resultado relativamente pobre a largo plazo.

Statin treatment reduced blood cholesterol. Taking statins did not increase the risk of adverse effects, such as cancer. Only limited evidence showed that primary prevention with statins may be cost-effective and improve patient quality of life. Duration of treatment was a minimum of 1 year, with follow-up at a minimum of 6 months.  Caution should be taken in prescribing statins for primary prevention among people at low cardiovascular risk (&amp;lt;1% annual all-cause mortality).     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Caveat:&lt;/strong&gt; Selective reporting of outcomes, adverse events and inclusion of people with cardiovascular disease in many of the trials included in previous reviews of the role of statins in primary prevention make the evidence impossible to disentangle without individual patient data. Caution also needs to be taken regarding the fact that all but 1 of the trials had some form of pharmaceutical industry sponsorship. Overall, the populations sampled within this review were white, male and middle-aged. Therefore, caution needs to be taken regarding generalisability to older people who may be at greater risk of side effects, and to women who are at lower risk of CVD events.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Context: &lt;/strong&gt;CVD is ranked as the number 1 cause of mortality and a major cause of morbidity worldwide. Previous reviews of the effects of statins have highlighted their benefits in people with CVD.

As a result,  hypertension in people with diabetes incurs higher associated risks and adverse events. Mortality  and morbidity are heightened in diabetes patients who do not achieve BP control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;"&lt;strong&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: yellow; color: black;"&gt;Large randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have shown that reducing BP pharmacologically is single-handedly the most effective way to reduce rates of death and disability in patients with diabetes, particularly associated cardiovascular risks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Often, combinations of 2 or more drugs (diuretics, angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibitors, â-blockers, angiotensin receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers, spironolactone, etc) are required for pharmacotherapy to be effective, particularly for patients in whom BP is difficult to control. However, the health care costs associated with extensively lowering BP are substantially less than the costs associated with treating the complications that can be prevented  by lowering BP.

text-align: center;"&gt;Hasta el mejor amante del mundo querría saber lo que descubrió un grupo de  científicos estadounidenses y así mejorar la respuesta sexual en las mujeres que  conoce. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-etzZ9TCoh8s/Tnuu0ajwnQI/AAAAAAAAAhU/Tf6JN27O71I/s1600/placer_fem.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;En declaraciones al diario español El Mundo, en su edición electrónica, el  científico Komisaruk reconoce: "Hemos demostrado, por primera vez, que la  estimulación de la vagina, el cuello del útero y el clítoris activa tres sitios  distintos y separados en la corteza sensorial. Las tres representaciones se  agrupan en la misma región de la corteza sensorial, al igual que la estimulación  de los genitales de los hombres activa zonas de esta área. Para nosotros lo que  sí fue una sorpresa es que la autoestimulación del pezón activa no sólo la  región de la corteza sensorial que esperábamos, sino que también activa las  mismas zonas que la región genital, lo que explicaría por qué algunas mujeres  pueden tener orgasmos a través del tocamiento del área mamaria".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;De esta manera los científicos, que publicaron su trabajo en la revista The  Journal of Sexual Medicine, comprobaron que cada una de esas zonas femeninas,  activa una parte concreta del cerebro, y que por lo tanto son fuentes directas  del placer. Ayudados por un escáner cerebral, comprobaron en 11 mujeres, que en  el proceso que conduce al orgasmo femenino intervienen hasta 30 zonas distintas  del cerebro y que se despiertan áreas que tienen que ver con el tacto, la  memoria, el placer y el dolor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Komisaruk aclara que "algunos expertos han afirmado que en la sexualidad  femenina, la principal fuente de placer la proporciona el clítoris y que este  goce es relativamente menor con la estimulación vaginal o del cuello  uterino".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Sin embargo, nuestros hallazgos muestran que existe una fuerte activación  sensorial producida por la estimulación de estas dos últimas zonas. Esta es la  base para un mejor entendimiento de cómo la manipulación genital se propaga de  forma secuencial a través del cerebro a partir de la activación inicial de la  corteza sensorial, para 'encender' al tiempo las regiones cerebrales que  producen el orgasmo. La corteza sensorial o sistema motosensorial procesa la  información a partir de las células nerviosas vinculadas a diferentes partes del  cuerpo", completó el experto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Fuente:&amp;nbsp;

type='text'>Víctimas de pedofilia demandan al Papa ante la Corte Penal Internacional</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Una asociación estadounidense de víctimas de sacerdotes pedófilos anunció este martes que había presentado ante la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI) una demanda judicial contra el Papa y otros responsables de la Iglesia católica por "crímenes de lesa humanidad".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dirigentes de la asociación SNAP, asistidos por abogados de la ONG estadounidense Center for constitutional rights, presentaron una "demanda de declaración de competencia" ante la CPI, indicó un comunicado de la SNAP.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Acusan a los responsables del Vaticano de "haber tolerado y hacer posible el camuflaje sistemático y extenso de violaciones y crímenes sexuales contra niños en el mundo entero".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Al Papa se añaden en la lista de SNAP tres cardenales que ejercieron o han ejercido responsabilidades de primer plano en la Curia: el secretario de Estado y segundo de la Santa Sede, el italiano Tarcisio Bertone; su predecesor Angelo Sodano, también italiano; y el prefecto de la Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe, el estadounidense William Levada que sucedió en el puesto a Joseph Ratzinger cuando éste fue elegido Pontífice, convirtiéndose en Benedicto XVI.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Interrogado sobre esta demanda, el portavoz del Vaticano, el padre Federico Lombardi, no quiso hacer comentarios.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A su demanda, agregaron 10.000 páginas que documentan los casos de pedofilia, precisó el comunicado de la asociación, con sede en Estados Unidos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Miembros de la SNAP provenientes de Alemania, Estados Unidos, Holanda y Bélgica -cuatro países afectados por el escándalo de pedofilia en la Iglesia- fueron a La Haya para pedir la apertura de un proceso judicial contra el Papa y tres otros dignatarios de la Iglesia católica "por su responsabilidad directa como superiores jerárquicos".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Crímenes contra decenas de miles de víctimas, en su mayoría niños, fueron camuflados por responsables de más alto nivel del Vaticano. En este caso, todos los caminos llevan a Roma", afirmó la abogada del CCR, Pamela Spees, citada por el comunicado de la SNAP.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Una asociación no puede presentar una demanda propiamente dicha ante la CPI, sino un informe. Desde que entró en funciones, en 2002, en La Haya, la oficina del fiscal ha recibido más de 8.000.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;En el pasado, obispos, y en algunos casos, el propio Vaticano, rechazaron o descuidaron muchas quejas presentadas por víctimas de sacerdotes y religiosos pedófilos, cambiando de puesto a los culpables o protegiéndolos. El escándalo desacreditó a la Iglesia en varios países de Europa, aunque una minoría es culpable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;El papa Benedicto XVI dijo sentir vergüenza, pidió perdón y abogó por aplicar la tolerancia cero a los pedófilos. Pidió a los obispos del mundo entero, que son los principales responsables de sus sacerdotes, una colaboración plena con las instancias judiciales penales.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La SNAP no cree en esta voluntad de transparencia y justicia y no moderó sus acusaciones.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La organización inició este martes una gira de información que la llevará a Ámsterdam, Bruselas, Berlín, París, Viena, Londres, Dublín, Varsovia, Madrid y Roma, para llevar "la demanda a las puertas del Vaticano".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;El papa Benedicto XVI saluda sonrientes a los fieles congregados para la misa que ofició el pasado domingo 11 de septiembre en Ancona, en la costa este de Italia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fuente: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://mx.noticias.yahoo.com/v%C3%ADctimas-pederastia-demandan-papa-corte-penal-internacional-123248049.html"&gt;http://mx.noticias.yahoo.com/v%C3%ADctimas-pederastia-demandan-papa-corte-penal-internacional-123248049.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-2737357056281435777?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/2737357056281435777/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/09/victimas-de-pedofilia-demandan-al-papa.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/2737357056281435777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/2737357056281435777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/09/victimas-de-pedofilia-demandan-al-papa.html' title='Víctimas de pedofilia demandan al Papa ante la Corte Penal Internacional'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-2195646165825470406</id><published>2011-09-11T13:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-11T13:31:30.584-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Nada como una lindísima canción (Nathalie Walker - Quicksand) y mejor aún remixeada por Thievery Corporation !!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

El IMC mostró una asociación  transversal monotónica con una cantidad de factores de riesgo (edad, DBT, hábito  de fumar y componentes del SM). El menor riesgo se comprobó en aquellos  pacientes delgados y el mayor, en los obesos. A pesar de esto, los autores  hallaron una asociación en forma de U entre el IMC y las tasas de mortalidad  ajustadas por edad en 12 años de seguimiento. En la población analizada, los IMC  entre 23 y 24.99 kg/m2 se asociaron con las menores tasas de mortalidad. Luego  de ajustes multivariados, el riesgo fue similar al encontrado en los pacientes  con IMC entre 20 y 29.99 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, sin diferencias significativas entre  los subgrupos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estos resultados coinciden con los de un metanálisis  reciente con datos de 388.622 pacientes, que informó poco aumento en la  mortalidad por todas las causas en personas con sobrepeso, y un incremento  moderado en aquellas con obesidad. El Prospective Studies Collaboration arrojó  resultados similares. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La mayor mortalidad señalada en los sujetos  delgados podría deberse a causalidad inversa o a un sesgo temporal, mientras que  el bajo peso podría reflejar enfermedades preexistentes como la caquexia  cardíaca asociada con insuficiencia cardíaca o EPOC. Esta última se relaciona  con pérdida de peso y es muy prevalente en pacientes delgados y con arteriopatía  periférica. En este estudio, los autores hallaron que el diagnóstico de cáncer  previo al inicio o dentro de los 6 meses de iniciado fue levemente más frecuente  en los participantes delgados; y si bien la mayor prevalencia de EPOC y  tabaquismo se detectó al momento de la primera evaluación en los hombres  delgados, luego de los ajustes por estas variables el riesgo asociado con bajo  peso no se modificó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se han publicado diversos informes acerca de una  relación inversa entre el IMC y la mortalidad en pacientes con EC, cuyos motivos  no son claros. Tal vez la obesidad confiera cierta protección en el período  siguiente a un evento agudo o a un procedimiento (a los que se refieren la  mayoría de dichos informes), pero se asocie con un incremento del riesgo en el  largo plazo, como se señala en otros numerosos trabajos. El efecto protector  inicial podría relacionarse con la función del tejido adiposo de reservorio de  células progenitoras adultas capaces de transformarse en cardiomiocitos o  células endoteliales. Los autores también postulan que la presencia de obesidad  incentiva tratamientos más agresivos, lo que resulta en un mejor pronóstico a  corto plazo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se valoró la posibilidad de que las diferencias en la  asociación del IMC y la mortalidad dependiese de otros factores de riesgo; la  existencia de cada factor estudiado ocasionó efectos deletéreos sobre la  supervivencia, especialmente en los pacientes delgados, cuyo pronóstico fue  mucho más desfavorable en presencia de tabaquismo, insuficiencia renal o  antecedentes de IAM. La caquexia secundaria a enfermedad podría explicar la  paradoja de la obesidad en personas con EC. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La pérdida de peso  inmediatamente después de un IAM parece asociarse con mayor mortalidad. Estos  resultados no descartan los beneficios posibles derivados de un descenso  ponderal controlado por modificaciones del estilo de vida, como se ha informado  en diversos estudios. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los autores señalan como ventajas de la presente  investigación su carácter prospectivo, el período de seguimiento prolongado y  que los IMC se calcularon con los datos objetivos y no con los referidos por los  participantes. Como limitaciones, reconocen que el IMC, si bien útil como  predictor a nivel poblacional, no es una medida directa de la composición  corporal y no permite distinguir la localización o el tipo de grasa, lo que  podría reducir su capacidad predictiva de riesgo. El IMC sería más preciso en  los extremos de su distribución (delgadez y obesidad). En los rangos  intermedios, es importante tomar en cuenta la distribución y características de  la grasa corporal. Las ventajas del IMC son su accesibilidad y precisión, a  diferencia de la medición de la circunferencia de cintura, que puede variar  entre diferentes observadores, además de que tampoco permite la distinción entre  grasa abdominal visceral y subcutánea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Artículo completo:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;

Azerbaiyán (57) y Omán  (34); los africanos Sudáfrica (54), Mauricio (55); y Túnez (32), o los  americanos como Costa Rica (56), Puerto Rico (41) y Barbados (43). Todos ellos  tienen una menor participación para el desarrollo mundial que la economía  mexicana. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los lastres de la competitividad mexicana, según los expertos  del Foro, siguen siendo la ineficiencia de un gobierno burocrático, la  corrupción, el difícil acceso al financiamiento, el crimen, la violencia y las  regulaciones restrictivas a la iniciativa privada. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La agenda pendiente  de México &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De acuerdo con Arturo Franco, director de Comunidad  Latinoamericana del WEF, el país tiene una agenda importante de cambios  estructurales que le permitirán ser una de las 10 economías más grandes del  planeta antes del año 2050. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;?México tiene una agenda importante para  flexibilizar mercados como el laboral; tiene que trabajar por más calidad  educativa y atacar el problema de seguridad y Estado de Derecho para ser más  competitivo?, destacó. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Descalabro &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En los cuatro años de la  administración de Felipe Calderón, México ha perdido 14 sitios en el tablero de  la competitividad que mide el WEF. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De acuerdo con el índice del  2007-2008, en un comparativo de 132 países, México se ubicó en el sitio 52 para  ir sistemáticamente cediendo terreno a países que avanzaron más rápido que  nosotros, tal como lo explica Arturo Franco: ?México lleva dos décadas de  importantes reformas que le han dado más responsabilidad fiscal y apertura de  mercados; sin embargo, no ha crecido tan rápido (...) y otros países han  avanzado con mayor dinamismo en su agenda estructural en favor del desarrollo  empresarial?, refirió el directivo del WEF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.weforum.org/en/initiatives/gcp/Global%20Competitiveness%20Report/index.htm" shape="rect" target="_blank" title="http://www.weforum.org/en/initiatives/gcp/Global%20Competitiveness%20Report/index.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e5252f;"&gt;IR A SITIO OFICIAL PARA DESCARGAR ARCHIVOS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Fuente: &lt;a href="http://72.52.156.225/Estudio.aspx?Estudio=indice-competitividad"&gt;http://72.52.156.225/Estudio.aspx?Estudio=indice-competitividad&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-752283466232823125?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/752283466232823125/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/09/indice-global-de-competitividad-2010.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/752283466232823125'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/752283466232823125'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/09/indice-global-de-competitividad-2010.html' title='ÍNDICE GLOBAL DE COMPETITIVIDAD 2010-2011 - FORO ECONÓMICO MUNDIAL'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mfbgfo0MksU/TmqSHrDUWHI/AAAAAAAAAgk/rOxMWDSF9Sg/s72-c/EL_HOM%257E1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-3332276065506866158</id><published>2011-09-07T18:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-07T18:58:05.089-07:00</updated><title type='text'>El juicio del mono: ochenta y cinco años y contando</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

There was, however, a significant 36% reduction in deaths due to infection and respiratory illness (HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.42-0.97), driven primarily by deaths due to infection.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="enrichLocation"&gt;During the session, Sever noted there are emerging data on the effects of statins on infection, with preclinical studies showing statins modulate neutrophil function, reduce proinflammatory cytokine release, improve vascular function, have antithrombotic properties, and improve outcomes from pneumonia and sepsis. Results of other observational studies have suggested that prior statin use also reduces mortality from sepsis. Despite these observations, Sever said that there is still the possibility of confounding bias in some of the observational studies that have shown a benefit of statins in pneumonia and sepsis and that caution should be used when interpreting such results until a randomized clinical trial is performed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="enrichLocation"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="enrichLocation"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: lime;

Almost all of the interventions included a component of building partnerships with local governments or non-government organisations. Many also employed some form of individual counselling by health professionals, mass media, or other forms of communication. Unfortunately, the most intense interventions failed to demonstrate consistent improvements. Further, effectiveness was not demonstrated in the long-term studies, which some shorter studies had recommended. There was also no evidence that adherence to a particular theoretical framework or model was advantageous.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Caveat:&lt;/strong&gt; There was a noticeable inconsistency in the findings of the numerous available studies, and this was confounded by serious methodological issues (selection, detection and publication biases). In particular, the tools used to measure physical activity were generally weak, inhibiting the ability to interpret the results and draw conclusions.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Context: &lt;/strong&gt;Insufficient physical activity leads to poorer health. Regular physical activity can reduce the risk of chronic disease and improve health and wellbeing. Multi-strategic, community-wide interventions for physical activity are increasingly popular, but their ability to achieve population-level improvements is unknown.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow; color: black;"&gt;Fuente:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Cochrane Systematic Review:&lt;/strong&gt; Baker PRA et al.

Yo era pobre e invisible. Ustedes nunca me miraron durante décadas y antiguamente era fácil resolver el problema de la miseria. El diagnostico era obvio: migración rural, desnivel de renta, pocas villas miseria, discretas periferias; la solución nunca aparecía… ¿Qué hicieron? Nada. ¿El Gobierno Federal alguna vez reservó algún presupuesto para nosotros? Nosotros sólo éramos noticia en los derrumbes de las villas en las montañas o en la música romántica sobre “la belleza de esas montañas al amanecer”, esas cosas… Ahora estamos ricos con la multinacional de la droga. Y ustedes se están muriendo de miedo. Nosotros somos el inicio tardío de vuestra conciencia social ¿Vió? Yo soy culto. Leo al Dante en la prisión.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Marcos Willians Herbas Camacho “Marcola”, de 38 años.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pero la solución sería…&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;¿Solución? No hay solución, hermano. La propia idea de “solución” ya es un error. ¿Ya vio el tamaño de las 560 villas miseria de Río? ¿Ya anduvo en helicóptero por sobre la periferia de San Pablo? ¿Solución, cómo? Sólo la habría con muchos millones de dólares gastados organizadamente, con un gobernante de alto nivel, una inmensa voluntad política, crecimiento económico, revolución en la educación, urbanización general y todo tendría que ser bajo la batuta casi de una “tiranía esclarecida” que saltase por sobre la parálisis burocrática secular, que pasase por encima del Legislativo cómplice. ¿O usted cree que los chupasangres (sanguessugas) no van a actuar? Si se descuida van a robar hasta al PCC. Y del Judicial que impide puniciones. Tendría que haber una reforma radical del proceso penal del país, tendría que haber comunicaciones e inteligencia entre policías municipales, provinciales y federales (nosotros hacemos hasta “conference calls” entre presidiarios…) Y todo eso costaría billones de dólares e implicaría una mudanza psicosocial profunda en la estructura política del país. O sea: es imposible. No hay solución.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;¿Usted no tiene miedo de morir?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ustedes son los que tienen miedo de morir, yo no. Mejor dicho, aquí en la cárcel ustedes no pueden entrar y matarme, pero yo puedo mandar matarlos a ustedes allí afuera. Nosotros somos hombres-bombas. En las villas miseria hay cien mil hombres-bombas. Estamos en el centro de lo insoluble mismo. Ustedes en el bien y el mal y, en medio, la frontera de la muerte, la única frontera. Ya somos una nueva “especie”, ya somos otros bichos, diferentes a ustedes. La muerte para ustedes es un drama cristiano en una cama, por un ataque al corazón. La muerte para nosotros es la comida diaria, tirados en una fosa común. ¿Ustedes intelectuales no hablan de lucha de clases, de ser marginal, ser héroe? Entonces ¡llegamos nosotros! ¡Ja, ja, ja…! Yo leo mucho; leí 3000 libros y leo al Dante, pero mis soldados son extrañas anomalías del desarrollo torcido de este país. No hay más proletarios, o infelices, o explotados. Hay una tercera cosa creciendo allí afuera, cultivada en el barro, educándose en el más absoluto analfabetismo, diplomándose en las cárceles, como un monstruo Alien escondido en los rincones de la ciudad. Ya surgió un nuevo lenguaje. ¿Ustedes no escuchan las grabaciones hechas “con autorización” de la justicia? Es eso. Es otra lengua. Está delante de una especie de post miseria. Eso. La post miseria genera una nueva cultura asesina, ayudada por la tecnología, satélites, celulares, Internet, armas modernas. Es la mierda con chips, con megabytes. Mis comandados son una mutación de la especie social. Son hongos de un gran error sucio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;¿Qué cambió en las periferias?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mangos. Nosotros ahora tenemos. ¿Usted cree que quien tiene 40 millones de dólares como Beira Mar no manda? Con 40 millones de dólares la prisión es un hotel, un escritorio… ¿Cuál es la policía que va a quemar esa mina de oro, entiende? Nosotros somos una empresa moderna, rica. Si el funcionario vacila, es despedido y “colocado en el microondas”. Ustedes son el estado quebrado, dominado por incompetentes. Nosotros tenemos métodos ágiles de gestión. Ustedes son lentos, burocráticos. Nosotros luchamos en terreno propio. Ustedes, en tierra extraña. Nosotros no tememos a la muerte. Ustedes mueren de miedo. Nosotros estamos bien armados. Ustedes tienen calibre 38. Nosotros estamos en el ataque. Ustedes en la defensa. Ustedes tienen la manía del humanismo. Nosotros somos crueles, sin piedad. Ustedes nos transformaron en “super stars” del crimen. Nosotros los tenemos de payasos. Nosotros somos ayudados por la población de las villas miseria, por miedo o por amor. Ustedes son odiados. Ustedes son regionales, provincianos. Nuestras armas y productos vienen de afuera, somos “globales”. Nosotros no nos olvidamos de ustedes, son nuestros “clientes”. Ustedes nos olvidan cuando pasa el susto de la violencia que provocamos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;¿Pero, qué debemos hacer?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Les voy a dar una idea, aunque sea en contra de mí. ¡Agarren a “los barones del polvo” (cocaína)! Hay diputados, senadores, hay generales, hay hasta ex presidentes del Paraguay en el medio de la cocaína y de las armas. ¿Pero, quién va a hacer eso? ¿El ejército? ¿Con qué plata? No tienen dinero ni para comida de los reclutas. El país está quebrado, sustentando un estado muerto con intereses del 20 % al año, y Lula todavía aumenta los gastos públicos, empleando 40 mil sinvergüenzas. ¿El ejército irá a luchar contra el PCC? Estoy leyendo Klausewitz “Sobre la Guerra”. No hay perspectiva de éxito. Nosotros somos hormigas devoradoras, escondidas en los rincones. Tenemos hasta misiles anti-tanque. Si embroman, van a salir unos Stinger. Para acabar con nosotros… solamente con una bomba atómica en las villas miseria. ¿Ya pensó? ¿Ipanema radiactiva?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pero… ¿No habrá una solución?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ustedes sólo pueden llegar a algún suceso si desisten de defender la “normalidad”. No hay más normalidad alguna. Ustedes precisan hacer una autocrítica de su propia incompetencia. Pero a ser franco, en serio, en la moral. Estamos todos en el centro de lo insoluble. Sólo que nosotros vivimos de él y ustedes no tienen salida. Sólo la mierda. Y nosotros ya trabajamos dentro de ella. Entiéndame, hermano, no hay solución. ¿Saben por qué? Porque ustedes no entienden ni la extensión del problema. Como escribió el divino Dante: “Pierdan todas las esperanzas. Estamos todos en el infierno”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.prensalibre.com/opinion/julio_ligorria_0_331766837.html"&gt;http://www.prensalibre.com/opinion/julio_ligorria_0_331766837.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-6363597537488591475?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/6363597537488591475/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/08/como-analizan-los-malos-la-situacion-en.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/6363597537488591475'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/6363597537488591475'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/08/como-analizan-los-malos-la-situacion-en.html' title='Como analizan los malos la situación en América Latina (¿No les da pavor?)'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nFAnuD_vC9A/Tl6V_0HY05I/AAAAAAAAAgI/TDkSJ-bh-4Q/s72-c/298493_10150789315860175_590140174_21032286_617509_a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-149979643512151953</id><published>2011-08-27T13:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-27T13:41:25.376-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A meta-analysis of mortality with intensive glucose lowering therapy</title><content type='html'>Several recent studies raised doubts as to the efficacy of intensive glucose control in  diabetic patients.  These French and Canadian researched performed a meta-analysis of  randomized controlled trials looked at all cause and cardiovascular mortality with intensive  glucose lowering treatment in type 2 diabetics. They searched Medline, Embase, and the  Cochrane database of systematic reviews. The quality of clinical trials was measured using  Jadad scores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ea9999; color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The researchers found:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; "13 studies were included. Of 34?533 patients, 18?315 received intensive glucose lowering treatment and 16?218 standard treatment. Intensive treatment did not significantly affect all cause mortality (risk ratio 1.04) or cardiovascular death (1.11). Intensive therapy was, however, associated with reductions in the risk of non-fatal myocardial infarction (0.85), and microalbuminuria (0.90) but a more than twofold increase in the risk of severe hypoglycaemia (2.33). Over a treatment period of five years, 117 to 150 patients would need to be treated to avoid one myocardial infarction and 32 to 142 patients to avoid one episode of microalbuminuria, whereas one severe episode of hypoglycaemia would occur for  every 15 to 52 patients. In analysis restricted to high quality studies (Jadad score &amp;gt;3), intensive treatment was not associated with any significant risk of reductions but resulted in a 47% increase in risk of congestive heart failure."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc; color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The researchers concluded&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: "The overall results of this meta- analysis show limited benefits of intensive glucose lowering treatment on all cause mortality and deaths from cardiovascular causes. We cannot exclude a 9% reduction or a 19% increase in all cause mortality and a 14% reduction or a 43% increase in cardiovascular death. The benefit:risk ratio of intensive glucose lowering treatment in the prevention of macrovascular and microvascular events remains uncertain. The harm associated with severe hypoglycaemia might counterbalance the potential benefit of intensive glucose lowering treatment. More double blind randomised controlled trials are needed to establish the best therapeutic approach in people with type 2 diabetes." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fuente:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;BMJ&lt;span class="slug-pub-date-pop"&gt;                                 		2011;                                 	&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pop-slug-vol"&gt;                                 		343:d4169                                 	&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="slug-doi" title="10.1136/bmj.d4169"&gt;                                 		doi: 10.1136/bmj.d4169                                 	&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="slug-ahead-of-print-date"&gt;                                 	                                         (Published                                                                  		26 July 2011)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="slug-ahead-of-print-date"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/343/bmj.d4169"&gt;http://www.bmj.com/content/343/bmj.d4169&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;	&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-149979643512151953?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/149979643512151953/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/08/meta-analysis-of-mortality-with.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/149979643512151953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/149979643512151953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/08/meta-analysis-of-mortality-with.html' title='A meta-analysis of mortality with intensive glucose lowering therapy'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-1462992942029635526</id><published>2011-08-27T13:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-27T13:35:50.082-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Es mandatorio incluir fibra dietética a todo paciente...

Estos autores EE.UU. examinaron el consumo de fibra dietética en relación con la mortalidad total y mortalidad por causas específicas en el NIH (National Institutes of Health)-La dieta y el AARP Health Study, un estudio de cohorte prospectivo. &lt;br /&gt;La dieta fue evaluada mediante un cuestionario de frecuencia de alimentos al inicio del estudio. La causa de muerte fue identificada mediante el Índice Nacional de Defunciones Plus. &lt;br /&gt;Ellos encontraron: "Durante una media de &lt;span style="background-color: orange; color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9 años de seguimiento&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, se identificaron 20.126 muertes en hombres y 11.330 muertes en mujeres, la ingesta de fibra dietética se asoció con un riesgo significativamente reducido del total de muertes en hombres y mujeres (riesgo relativo multivariado al comparar el quintil más alto con el quintil más bajo, 0,78 en los hombres y 0,78 en mujeres). El consumo de fibra dietética también disminuyó el riesgo de muerte por enfermedades cardiovasculares, infecciosas y respiratorias en un 24% a 56 % en hombres y 34% a 59% en las mujeres. La asociación inversa entre la ingesta de fibra dietética y muerte por cáncer se observó en los hombres pero no en las mujeres. La fibra dietética a proveniente de los granos, pero no de otras fuentes, fue significativamente inversamente proporcional al total de las causas de muerte específicas en hombres y mujeres.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow; color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Los autores concluyeron:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; La fibra dietética puede reducir el riesgo de muerte por enfermedades cardiovasculares, infecciosas y respiratorias.

De todas maneras, le preguntaron en una ocasión a un reconocido sabio maestro: ¿Qué es un guatemalteco? Su respuesta fue la siguiente: ¡Ah, los guatemaltecos. que difícil pregunta! Los guatemaltecos están entre ustedes pero no son de ustedes. Los guatemaltecos beben en la misma copa la alegría y la amargura. Hacen música de su llanto y se ríen de la música. Los guatemaltecos toman en serio los chistes y hacen chistes de lo serio. No creen en nadie y creen en todo. &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;¡No se les ocurra discutir con ellos jamás! Los guatemaltecos nacen con sabiduría. No necesitan leer, ¡todo lo saben! No necesitan viajar, ¡todo lo han visto! Los guatemaltecos son algo así como el pueblo escogido, por ellos mismos. Los guatemaltecos se caracterizan individualmente por su simpatía e inteligencia y, en grupos, por su gritería y apasionamiento. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cada uno de ellos lleva en sí la chispa de genios y los genios no se llevan bien entre sí, de ahí que reunir a los guatemaltecos es fácil, pero unirlos es casi imposible. No se les hable de lógica, pues eso implica razonamiento y mesura y los guatemaltecos son hiperbólicos y exagerados. Por ejemplo, si te invitan a un restaurante a comer, no te invitaron al mejor restaurante del pueblo, sino al mejor restaurante del mundo. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cuando discuten, no dicen: No estoy de acuerdo con vos sino ¡Estas completamente equivocado! Tienen tendencias antropofágicas: así entonces ¡Se la comió! Es una expresión de admiración y comerse a una mujer guapa es señal de una situación admirable; llamarle a alguien "come mierda" es un insulto lacerante. El guatemalteco ama tanto la contradicción que llama "animalón" a las mujeres hermosas y "bárbaros" a los eruditos. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Si te aqueja alguna situación de salud te advierten, ¡Mano, debiste hablar conmigo para llevarte donde un cuate mío, que es un médico cabrón! Los guatemaltecos ofrecen soluciones antes de saber el problema. Para ellos nunca hay problema. Saben lo que hay que hacer para erradicar el terrorismo, encausar a países pobres del Caribe, eliminar el hambre en África, pagar la deuda externa, quién debe ser presidente y cómo Estados Unidos puede llegar a ser una potencia mundial. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;No entienden por qué los demás no les entienden cuando sus ideas son tan sencillas y claras, y no acaban de entender por qué la gente no quiere aprender a hablar castellano como ellos, sino que quieren que todo el mundo aprenda 23 lenguas precolombinas que lo que hacen es dividir mas a la sociedad. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;¡Ah, los guatemaltecos. No podemos vivir mucho con ellos, pero es imposible vivir sin ellos! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dedicado con cariño a los habitantes del mejor país del Mundo¡¡¡¡¡GUATEMALA¡¡¡¡¡ &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gabriel García Márquez&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-7286070795488767972?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/7286070795488767972/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/08/lo-que-escribe-garcia-marquez-de-los.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/7286070795488767972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/7286070795488767972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/08/lo-que-escribe-garcia-marquez-de-los.html' title='LO QUE ESCRIBE GARCIA MARQUEZ DE LOS GUATEMALTE​COS !!'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-3359576530806448825</id><published>2011-08-26T16:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-26T16:56:06.521-07:00</updated><title type='text'>So so so cool !!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://0.gvt0.com/vi/zOLromvbj4Q/0.jpg"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zOLromvbj4Q&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" /&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /&gt;&lt;embed width="320" height="266"  src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zOLromvbj4Q&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-3359576530806448825?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/3359576530806448825/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/08/so-so-so-cool.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/3359576530806448825'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/3359576530806448825'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/08/so-so-so-cool.html' title='So so so cool !!!'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-5500883306114167407</id><published>2011-08-22T18:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T06:59:20.003-07:00</updated><title type='text'>¿Qué hay detrás del crimen y la violencia en Centroamérica?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: black;"&gt;Como me gustan los análisis, cortos, pero brillantes !!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Columna elaborada por Marcelo Colussi del Área de Estudios Sociourbanos dela Asociación para el Avance de las Ciencias Sociales (AVANCSO, Guatemala) ,fue la el Editorial del noticiero Maya K'at del día martes 31 de mayo del 2011&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Recientementeen el informe 2011 “Crimen y violencia en Centroamérica. Un desafío para eldesarrollo”, del Banco Mundial, puede leerse que “El cri-men y la violenciaconstituyen el problema clave para el desarrollo de los paísescentroamericanos. En tres países -El Salvador, Guatemala y Hondu-ras- losíndices de crimen y violencia se encuentran entre los tres más altos de AméricaLatina. (…) Las tres causas principales de la violencia en la re-gión: eltráfico de drogas, la violencia juvenil y las maras, y la disponibilidad dearmas de fuego [y] la debilidad de las instituciones judiciales como un alto factorde riesgo frente a la expansión del crimen y la violencia generali-zadas”. Pero¿Qué hay detrás del crimen y la violencia en Centroamérica? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Toda Centroamérica –una de las regiones más pobres del mundo– está hoyvirtualmente en guerra. Firmados los débiles procesos de paz en años pasa-dos(Nicaragua en 1990; El Salvador en 1992; Guatemala en 1996), ningún paísconoció ni la paz ni la recuperación económica. Las guerras oficialesterminaron, sin embargo el área siguió militarizada, violentada, con índicesaltos de criminalidad, plagada de armas. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La violencia es negocio para muchos; por supuesto que no para las grandesmayorías, que son quienes siguen poniendo los muertos y heridos, estén o no enguerra en términos técnicos. Pero sí para los distintos grupos de po-der:élites históricamente dominantes ligadas a la agroexportación, nuevas élitesvinculadas a los negocios “calientes” (crimen organizado, narcotráfico, lavadode dinero) y, como siempre, la omnipresente “Embajada”. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Si bien Centroamérica no representa un gran mercado para las multinacio-nalesestadounidenses, la zona tiene importancia vital en la estrategia de dominacióncontinental. La militarización en marcha así lo indica, por ello la presenciamilitar de Washington en América Central y el Caribe está cre-ciendo a pasosagigantados, amparándose en la siempre justificable “lucha contra el crimenorganizado y el narcotráfico”. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Guatemala, sin presencia militar estadounidense directa y asolada por el crimenorganizado, ya tuvo un estado de excepción entre fines del 2010 e inicios del2011, medida que más allá de la espectacularidad mediática, no condujo a ningúnavance real en el combate a la narcoactividad. Y ahora, con la reciente masacreen el Petén, vuelve a sufrir un estado de sitio. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Centroamérica atraviesa un período de violencia crítica que justifica lanece-sidad de más “mano dura”, más armas para combatir a este flagelo delcri-men organizado “desatado”, más estados de sitio. Toda esta criminalidadviolentísima abona, en definitiva, la idea de “Estados fallidos” y laconse-cuente “necesidad de Washington” de ir a salvarlos. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;¿Será cierto que a la actual administración de Washington le preocupa elnarcotráfico? Si hubiera un interés real por terminar con un problema de saludpública tan amplio como el consumo de drogas ilegales en su país, otrasdeberían ser las iniciativas. Quemar sembradíos de coca o marihuana enLatinoamérica no baja el consumo de estupefacientes entre los jóvenes de NewYork o Los Ángeles. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La violencia nunca puede combatirse eficazmente con más violencia. Enton-ces: ¿porqué se sigue militarizando un problema que no es militar? ¿Será que esta“guerra a muerte” contra el narcotráfico y el crimen organizado tiene otrosintereses? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Esta lucha permite a la geoestrategia de Estados Unidos estar donde quiere,cuando quiere y haciendo lo que quiere. Si de la salud pública de sus adic-tosse tratase, no invadiría ni abriría bases militares en el extranjero, y en vezde soldados debería de tener médicos y psicólogos en sus territorios. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sin dudas México y los países centroamericanos constituyen hoy la rutaprincipal por la que transita la droga latinoamericana con rumbo a EstadosUnidos, con poderosos cárteles que terminan siendo un Estado dentro delEstado, moviendo buena parte de las economías locales. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sin dudas en estos momentos asistimos a una catarata mediática impresio-nanterespecto a estos temas: la masacre recientemente ocurrida en Petén dio lavuelta al mundo y convirtió al país en un bochorno para la humani-dad. No estáde más recordar, de paso, que en este mismo país, algunos años atrás y conbeneplácito de la Casa Blanca se perpetraron más de 600 masacres de campesinosde origen maya, base social del movimiento arma-do de aquel entonces. Y de esono apareció ni una sola nota en su momen-to. La sensación que se transmite adiario por los medios de comunicación es que las mafias delincuenciales “tienende rodillas a la población”. Todo ello justifica la implementación de planessalvadores. En ese sentido puede entenderse que la actual explosión denarcoactividad y crimen organizado es totalmente funcional a una estrategia decontrol regional, donde el men-saje mediático prepara las condiciones paraposteriores intervenciones. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ahora bien: ¿son efectivamente las prioridades de Centroamérica la luchacontra todas estas calamidades? ¿Mejorarán las condiciones de vida de suspoblaciones por medio de esta nueva iniciativa de remilitarización?Segura-mente no, pero sí mejorarán los balances de las grandes empresas del Nor-te.La ola de violencia que no para en la región ¿sólo con más violencia po-dráterminarse? ¿Y qué tal si se legaliza la droga, o se crean puestos detra-bajo para los jóvenes?

In a population eligible for JUPITER, we established whether coronary artery calcium (CAC) might further stratify risk; additionally we compared hsCRP with CAC for risk prediction across the range of low and high hsCRP values.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 class="ja50-ce-section-title" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="ja50-ce-simple-para" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;950 participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atheroslcerosis (MESA) met all criteria for JUPITER entry. We compared coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease event rates and multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios after stratifying by burden of CAC (scores of 0, 1—100, or &amp;gt;100). We calculated 5-year number needed to treat (NNT) by applying the benefit recorded in JUPITER to the event rates within each CAC strata.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 class="ja50-ce-section-title" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Findings&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="ja50-ce-simple-para" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Median follow-up was 5·8 years (IQR 5·7—5·9). 444 (47%) patients in the MESA JUPITER population had CAC scores of 0 and, in this group, rates of coronary heart disease events were 0·8 per 1000 person-years. 74% of all coronary events were in the 239 (25%) of participants with CAC scores of more than 100 (20·2 per 1000 person-years). For coronary heart disease, the predicted 5-year NNT was 549 for CAC score 0, 94 for scores 1—100, and 24 for scores greater than 100. For cardiovascular disease, the NNT was 124, 54, and 19. In the total study population, presence of CAC was associated with a hazard ratio of 4·29 (95% CI 1·99—9·25) for coronary heart disease, and of 2·57 (1·48—4·48) for cardiovascular disease. hsCRP was not associated with either disease after multivariable adjustment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 class="ja50-ce-section-title" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Interpretation&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="ja50-ce-simple-para" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;CAC seems to further stratify risk in patients eligible for JUPITER, and could be used to target subgroups of patients who are expected to derive the most, and the least, absolute benefit from statin treatment.

The most common vaccines used were adjuvanted (Pandemrix and Focetria). The unadjusted pooled risk estimate for all countries was 2.8. After adjustment for influenza-like illness/upper respiratory tract infection and seasonal influenza vaccination, receipt of pandemic influenza vaccine was not associated with an increased risk  of Guillain-Barré syndrome (adjusted odds ratio 1.0). The 95% confidence interval shows that the absolute effect of vaccination could range from one avoided case of Guillain-Barré syndrome up to three excess cases within six weeks after vaccination in one million people."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;The researchers concluded: "&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: black;"&gt;The risk of occurrence of Guillain- Barré syndrome is not increased after pandemic influenza vaccine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;, although the upper limit does not exclude a potential increase in risk up to 2.7-fold or three excess cases per one million vaccinated people.

Proposed definition criteria of vulnerable plaque included                     active inflammation, a thin cap with a large lipid core, endothelial denudation, fissured cap, severe stenosis, or combinations                     of these findings. In 242 primary studies, histopathology, biomarkers, and imaging of carotid and coronary artery plaques                     were evaluated for features suggestive of vulnerability. Notably, 89% of these studies were cross-sectional in design and                     were exclusively conducted in patients with known cardiovascular disease. None of the imaging studies documented whether the                     identified lesions were responsible for cardiovascular events. Cross-sectional design precludes evaluation of the predictive                     utility of biomarkers. Because vulnerable plaque is not an established medical diagnosis, no studies have been done that explicitly                     evaluate the treatment of vulnerable plaques. Few studies examined potential systemic treatments (for example, statins) to                     modify vulnerability features. Large prospective studies in patients with and without previous cardiovascular events during                     long follow-up are required to validate this concept.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Artículo completo:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.annals.org/content/153/6/387.full"&gt;http://www.annals.org/content/153/6/387.full&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-8139142462718671673?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/8139142462718671673/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/08/la-placa-ateroesclerotica-vulnerable.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/8139142462718671673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/8139142462718671673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/08/la-placa-ateroesclerotica-vulnerable.html' title='La placa ateroesclerótica vulnerable'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-5835800898194971931</id><published>2011-08-06T13:50:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-06T13:50:51.648-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dosis de estatinas y el riesgo de diabetes de nueva aparición</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Un reciente meta-análisis encontró una relación entre la terapia con estatinas y el mayor riesgo de desarrollar diabetes de nueva aparición.

En comparación con dosis moderadas la terapia con estatinas, el número necesario para dañar al año de dosis intensa de terapia con estatinas fue de 498 para la diabetes de nueva aparición, mientras que el número necesario a tratar por año para uso de tratamiento con dosis intensiva de estatinas fue de 155 para los eventos cardiovasculares".

However, the CHMP also concluded that the small increased risk could be reduced by appropriate patient selection and exclusion, including a requirement for periodic review of the efficacy and safety of the individual patient’s treatment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Prescribers are advised not to use these medicines in patients with current or a history of bladder cancer or in patients with uninvestigated macroscopic haematuria. Risk factors for bladder cancer should be assessed before initiating pioglitazone treatment. In light of age-related risks, the balance of benefits and risks should be considered carefully both before initiating and during treatment in the elderly. Prescribers should review the treatment of patients on pioglitazone after three to six months (and regularly afterwards) to ensure that only patients who are deriving sufficient benefit continue to take it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The CHMP reviewed all available data on the occurrence of bladder cancer, including results of preclinical studies, clinical studies, epidemiological studies and spontaneous reports. The Committee also considered the advice from its Scientific Advisory Group (SAG) on Diabetes/Endocrinology.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The CHMP concluded that the evidence from different sources shows that there is a small increased risk of bladder cancer with pioglitazone. Recently available data from epidemiological studies (Kaiser Permanente Northern California cohort study, French CNAMTS cohort study, GPRD case control study) point to a small increased risk (relative risk ranging from 1.12 to 1.33) of bladder cancer in diabetic patients treated with pioglitazone, in particular in patients treated for the longest durations and with the highest cumulative doses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Furthermore, in a meta-analysis of randomised controlled clinical studies, 19 out of 12,506 patients taking pioglitazone had bladder cancer (0.15%) compared with 7 out of 10,212 patients not taking pioglitazone (0.07%). A possible risk after short term treatment cannot be excluded.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;In line with the recommendations of the SAG, the CHMP concluded that there are some patients who cannot be adequately treated by other treatments and who will benefit from treatment with pioglitazone. The CHMP agreed that it was not possible to further restrict the current indications of pioglitazone. Instead, prescribers are advised to carefully select patients and monitor response to treatment. In patients responding to treatment, the CHMP concluded that the benefits outweigh the risks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The CHMP agreed that there is a need for further analysis of the types, evolution and severity of bladder cancer in patients treated with pioglitazone compared to diabetics not treated with pioglitazone. It remains unclear as to whether it is an early effect or a risk with prolonged use/high cumulative dose. Therefore, the CHMP has asked the marketing authorisation holder to conduct a pan-European epidemiological study focussing on more robust characterisation of the risk, in particular the risk period and risk with increasing age, to inform the evidence-base for risk minimisation measures.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The European review of the centrally authorised pioglitazone-containing medicines Actos, Glustin, Competact, Glubrava and Tandemact and the occurrence of bladder cancer was conducted in the context of a formal review, initiated at the request of the European Commission under Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004, on 16 March 2011.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A European Commission Decision on this opinion will be issued in due course.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="last"&gt;Actos and Glustin were authorised in the EU in October 2000, Competact in July 2006, Tandemact in January 2007 and Glubrava in December 2007.

The FDA is expected to issue a final decision on approval of the drug by October 28. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Panel members voted 9-6 against a question that asked if the efficacy and safety data submitted in support of the drug provided substantial evidence to support approval. Specifically, panelists expressed concern about the drug’s cancer, liver and kidney risks, especially among elderly patients. Panel members who voted in support of dapagliflozin said they were also concerned about the potential safety implications, but said that more information on those risks could only be discovered in large patient registries and post-marketing studies that could be established following approval of the compound.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Fuente:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/890171"&gt;http://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/890171&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-3175578450266313364?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/3175578450266313364/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/07/fda-panel-votes-against-dapagliflozin.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/3175578450266313364'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/3175578450266313364'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/07/fda-panel-votes-against-dapagliflozin.html' title='FDA panel votes against dapagliflozin for DM2'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-212647427805501729</id><published>2011-07-20T13:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-20T13:35:36.764-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Escuchas Manu Chao ???</title><content type='html'>En lo personal, Manu Chao me parece de lo mejor que hay...&amp;nbsp; Por qué ???&amp;nbsp; Fácil, lee un poco sus raíces y sus ideales aplicados a su preciosa música...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_Chao"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_Chao&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-212647427805501729?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/212647427805501729/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/07/escuchas-manu-chao.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/212647427805501729'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/212647427805501729'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/07/escuchas-manu-chao.html' title='Escuchas Manu Chao ???'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-5334594190583824028</id><published>2011-07-17T08:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-17T10:41:32.087-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Consejo de tomar ocho vasos de agua al día es "tontería" - Waterlogged ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9gYdUrfbjfQ/TiMGVHzGFlI/AAAAAAAAAf0/_X5DYB_ncfU/s1600/110712163800_agua_304x171_spl_nocredit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9gYdUrfbjfQ/TiMGVHzGFlI/AAAAAAAAAf0/_X5DYB_ncfU/s1600/110712163800_agua_304x171_spl_nocredit.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Los ocho vasos de agua al día como algo necesario para la salud, es un mito.

They included 274 women aged 18 to 40 years who were attempting pregnancy. Women  were observed for six cycles or until pregnancy. Women collected basal saliva samples on  day 6 of each cycle, and used fertility monitors to identify ovulation and pregnancy test kits  for pregnancy detection. They measured salivary cortisol (mcg/dL) and alpha- amylase  (U/mL) concentration, time-to-pregnancy, and the probability of pregnancy during the fertile  window.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;They found: "Alpha-amylase but not cortisol concentrations were negatively associated with fecundity in the first cycle (fecundity odds ratio = 0.85) after adjusting for the couples' ages, intercourse frequency, and alcohol consumption. Statistically significant reductions in the probability of conception across the fertile window during the first cycle attempting pregnancy were observed for women whose salivary concentrations of alpha- amylase were in the upper quartiles in comparison with women in the lower quartiles."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;The authors concluded:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; "Stress significantly reduced the probability of conception each day during the fertile window, possibly exerting its effect through the sympathetic medullar pathway."&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fuente:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span class="contentTxtBld"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For the full abstract, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a class="SearchLinkColour" href="http://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(10)01031-9/abstract" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;click here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="SearchLinkColourItl" href="http://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(10)01031-9/abstract" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fertil Steril&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 95(7):2184-2189, June 2011&lt;/strong&gt; © 2011 to the American Society of Reproductive Endocrinology&lt;br /&gt;Stress reduces conception probabilities across the fertile window: evidence in support of relaxation.

Johnson, Bayer’s Xarelto for DVT</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The FDA on Friday approved Johnson &amp;amp; Johnson and Bayer’s Xarelto (rivaroxaban) for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing knee or hip replacement surgery. Bayer noted that Xarelto is the only new oral anticoagulant approved in the US for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis for patients undergoing knee or hip replacement surgery.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; The approval was based on late-stage data that showed Xarelto was more effective in both a &lt;a href="http://www.firstwordpharma.com/redirect/ext_link?url=http://www.firstwordplus.com/Fws.do?articleid=088ACDE1725F47BEB84DFE7A211E6B1D&amp;amp;tsid=17"&gt;head-to-head&lt;/a&gt; comparison with sanofi-aventis' Lovenox (enoxaparin) and when compared to enoxaparin followed by placebo. In the trials, Xarelto demonstrated a similar safety profile to enoxaparin, including lower rates of major bleeding. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; The companies in January submitted &lt;a href="http://www.firstwordpharma.com/redirect/ext_link?url=http://www.firstwordplus.com/Fws.do?articleid=93CCEB75BBF64F2BB3993F73EAF006F4&amp;amp;tsid=17"&gt;regulatory filings&lt;/a&gt; in Europe and the US seeking approval of Xarelto for the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Johnson &amp;amp; Johnson’s head of cardiovascular research Martin Fitchet noted that US regulators will probably announce a decision on the drug in this indication by the end of 2011, with a similar timeline expected for a decision in the EU. Bayer, which markets the drug in Europe and will lend sales support in the US, has forecast that Xarelto will generate more than 2 billion euros ($2.9 billion) in annual sales if it is approved for use in AF. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Citigroup analyst Matthew Dodds noted that Johnson &amp;amp; Johnson has been “waiting for a blockbuster” in the cardiovascular drug market and Xarelto “is widely viewed as that product.” He predicted that the drug may generate as much as $1.6 billion in annual sales, of which $1.2 billion would be in the atrial fibrillation indication.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Xarelto is the second oral anticoagulant approved by the FDA within the last nine months. In October, US regulators approved Boehringer Ingelheim’s Pradaxa (dabigatran) for the prevention of stroke in patients with AF. In addition, Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb recently reported &lt;a href="http://www.firstwordpharma.com/redirect/ext_link?url=http://www.firstwordplus.com/Fws.do?articleid=F48C2834A91C40B0AFA2E8DBC25B0834&amp;amp;tsid=17"&gt;positive results&lt;/a&gt; from late-stage clinical trials of its Eliquis (apixaban) in AF and the companies are expected to file for regulatory approval of the drug by the end of this year. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Fuente:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/883881"&gt;http://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/883881&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-280420753484942831?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/280420753484942831/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/07/fda-approves-johnson-johnson-bayers.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/280420753484942831'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/280420753484942831'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/07/fda-approves-johnson-johnson-bayers.html' title='FDA approves Johnson &amp; Johnson, Bayer’s Xarelto for DVT'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-6715450557708449265</id><published>2011-07-01T14:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-01T14:27:41.590-07:00</updated><title type='text'>No pasa un mes sin escuchar otra bondad justificada para la maravillosa metformina...</title><content type='html'>The 10-Year Cost-Effectiveness of Lifestyle Intervention or Metformin for the Primary Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Intent-to-Treat Analysis of Diabetes Prevention&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Study presented at the American Diabetes Association's 71st Scientific Sessions, held from June 24 to 28 in San Diego&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="preview"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://ww2.aievolution.com/ada1101/index.cfm?do=ev.viewEv&amp;amp;ev=11053" title="View Presentation"&gt;View Presentation&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tuesday, June 28, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Abstract No:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 0136-LBOR &lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Abstract Type:&amp;nbsp; Late Breaking Oral &lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Author(s):&amp;nbsp; WILLIAM H.

The DPP Outcomes Study (DPPOS) followed participants for an additional 7 years during which time ILS and MET participants were encouraged to continue those interventions and all participants were offered a modified lifestyle intervention. A recent analysis demonstrated that the beneficial effects of ILS and MET on the incidence of type 2 diabetes persisted for at least 10 years after randomization. During both DPP and DPPOS, data on resource utilization, cost, and quality-of-life were collected prospectively. Economic analyses were performed from a health system perspective that considered direct medical costs. During DPPOS, the direct medical costs of ILS and MET were substantially lower than during DPP, and the costs of PBO were higher than during DPP. Over 10 years, the cumulative, undiscounted, per capita direct medical costs of the interventions were greater for ILS and MET than for PBO ($4,826 ILS vs. $2,489 MET vs. $953 PBO). The direct medical costs of care outside the DPP/DPPOS increased over time for all groups, but were highest for PBO. The cumulative undiscounted, per capita, direct medical costs of non-intervention-related medical care were greater for PBO ($31,299) than MET ($26,351) or ILS ($24,759). Over 10 years, the undiscounted per capita total direct medical costs were lower for both ILS ($29,585) and MET ($27,840) compared to PBO ($32,252). Quality-of-life was better for ILS compared to MET or PBO and the undiscounted quality-adjusted life-years accrued over 10 years were greater for ILS (6.81) than MET (6.69) or PBO (6.67 QALYs). Over 10 years, from a payer perspective, ILS and MET were less expensive and more effective than PBO. Both health policy and social policy should support the funding of intensive lifestyle and metformin for diabetes prevention in high-risk adults.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-6715450557708449265?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/6715450557708449265/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/07/no-pasa-un-mes-sin-escuchar-otra-bondad.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/6715450557708449265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/6715450557708449265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/07/no-pasa-un-mes-sin-escuchar-otra-bondad.html' title='No pasa un mes sin escuchar otra bondad justificada para la maravillosa metformina...'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-3314753569036685180</id><published>2011-06-26T15:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-26T15:21:17.925-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Does stopping a proton pump inhibitor cause a clinically important rebound phenomenon ?</title><content type='html'>Evidence-Based Answer&lt;span class="contentTxtGreen"&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxtGreenBld"&gt;After at least 4 weeks of therapy, cessation of pro¬ton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may cause a clinically significant increase in dyspepsia. (SOR: A, based on 2 double-blind RCTs.)   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxt"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A systematic review from 2007 found 8 studies regarding rebound acid hypersecretion (RAHS) after PPI withdrawal. These studies measured the acid level in the stomach to determine RAHS. The sample sizes varied from 6 to 32, with a total of 138 patients involved in the review. The studies were heterogeneous in the brand of PPI given, duration of therapy, type of gastric acid mea¬surement, timing of the test, and type of participants. The authors concluded the evidence was not strong for RAHS after PPI treatment, because only 3 of the 8 stud¬ies showed hypersecretion.1     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether hypersecretion has a clinical impact on patients has only recently been studied. Two double-blind RCTs in healthy volunteers from 2009 and2010 used clinical symptom rating scales in addition to gastric acid levels to determine the significance of RAHS.2,3       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 2009 trial, 120 patients filled out the Gas¬trointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) weekly for 8 weeks during treatment with either esomeprazole 40 mg or placebo, and for 4 weeks after cessation. Fasting blood samples for plasma levels of gastrin and chromogranin A were taken at weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12 to determine acid hypersecretion.2 During cessation, the proportion reporting dys¬pepsia, heartburn, or acid regurgitation in the PPI group was 26 of 59 (44%), compared with only 9 of 59 (15%) in the placebo group (calculated NNH=3.5). Hyperacidity symptoms lasted for the entire 4-week cessation period. The measures of increased acid secretion were significantly correlated with the GSRS score in the PPI group and not in the placebo group (rs=0.34, P=.01).2 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trial from 2010 followed the Glasgow dyspep¬sia score on a daily basis throughout the study. Forty-eight healthy patients had a 2 week run-in, 4 weeks of treatment with either pantoprazole 40 mg or placebo, and then had 6 weeks of follow-up.3  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A total of 11 of 25 (44%) patients in the PPI group developed dyspepsia after withdrawal, compared with only 2 of 23 (9%) in the placebo group (calculated NNH=2.8). The peak dyspepsia score was during the first week after cessation in the PPI group, but after that the score was not statistically different from placebo.3 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of note, 47 of the 84 (56%) patients taking PPIs in these 2 trials had no rebound symptoms. The length of RAHS symptoms also differed between the 2 trials: 4 weeks versus 1 week. Another limitation of these studies was that only healthy individuals were studied—patients taking PPIs with diagnosed gastrointesti¬nal diseases were not included. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HelpDesk Answer From EBP, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Julia Fashner, MD  &lt;br /&gt;St. Joseph FMR  South Bend, IN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contentTxt"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  1.

Prior investigations                     suggest that systemic immunosuppressive drugs may improve insulin resistance and reduce the risk of DM.                  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="p-2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective&lt;/strong&gt; To compare the risk of newly recorded DM among participants diagnosed with RA or psoriasis based on use of a variety of disease-modifying                     antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).                  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="p-3"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design, Setting, and Participants&lt;/strong&gt; A retrospective cohort study among 121 280 patients with a diagnosis of either RA or psoriasis on at least 2 visits. The                     analyses were conducted in the context of 2 large health insurance programs, 1 in Canada and 1 in the United States, using                     administrative data. The mean follow-up was 5.8 months and began with the first prescription for a DMARD after study eligibility                     was met. Drug regimens were categorized into 4 mutually exclusive groups: (1) tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors with                     or without other DMARDs; (2) methotrexate without TNF inhibitors or hydroxychloroquine; (3) hydroxychloroquine without TNF                     inhibitors or methotrexate; or (4) other nonbiologic DMARDs without TNF inhibitors, methotrexate, or hydroxychloroquine (reference                     exposure).                  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="p-4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Main Outcome Measure&lt;/strong&gt; Newly recorded DM as evidenced by a new diagnosis of DM with use of a DM-specific medication.                  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="p-5"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt; The study cohort consisted of 13 905 participants with 22 493 treatment episodes starting 1 of the categories of DMARD regimens                     between January 1996 and June 2008. New diabetes cases and respective incidence rates per 1000 person-years were: other nonbiologic                     DMARDs (55 cases among 3993 treatment episodes; rate, 50.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 47.3-53.2); TNF inhibitors (80 cases                     among 4623 treatment episodes; rate, 19.7; 95% CI, 19.1-20.3); methotrexate (82 cases among 8195 treatment episodes; rate,                     23.8; 95% CI, 23.0-24.6); and hydroxychloroquine (50 cases among 5682 treatment episodes; rate, 22.2; 95% CI, 21.3-23.1).                     The multivariate adjusted hazard ratios for DM were 0.62 (95% CI, 0.42-0.91) for TNF inhibitors, 0.77 (95% CI, 0.53-1.13)                     for methotrexate, and 0.54 (95% CI, 0.36-0.80) for hydroxychloroquine compared with other nonbiologic DMARDS.                  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="p-6"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt; Among patients with RA or psoriasis, the adjusted risk of DM was lower for individuals starting a TNF inhibitor or hydroxychloroquine                     compared with initiation of other nonbiologic DMARDs.                  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-2755970481030158730?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/2755970481030158730/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/06/association-between-disease-modifying.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/2755970481030158730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/2755970481030158730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/06/association-between-disease-modifying.html' title='Association Between Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs and Diabetes Risk in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriasis'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-942437782180506653</id><published>2011-06-24T18:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-24T19:00:49.861-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Consenso Europeo 2007 sobre Rinosinusitis Aguda y poliposis</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="background-color: #ffe599;"&gt;Excelente:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ep3os.org/pocketguidespain.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ffe599;"&gt;http://www.ep3os.org/pocketguidespain.pdf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thepcrj.org/journ/vol17/17_2_79_89.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ffe599;"&gt;http://www.thepcrj.org/journ/vol17/17_2_79_89.pdf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Sugiero&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

UU. con hipertensión. Alrededor del 90 por ciento eran hombres, con una edad  promedio de 64 años. Todos habían sido diagnosticados unos diez años antes. Su  presión arterial se consideraba fuera de control, aunque la mayoría tomaban  varios medicamentos antihipertensivos. Si no se trata, la presión arterial alta  puede provocar un accidente cerebrovascular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El estudio comparó las  lecturas de presión arterial tomadas en tres ambientes: en casa, en el  consultorio médico, y en un ámbito de investigación clínica, al inicio del  estudio, y nuevamente a los seis, doce y dieciocho meses. Los hallazgos aparecen  en la edición del 12 de junio de la revista Annals of Internal  Medicine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las medidas variaron ampliamente, encontró Powers. "Apenas un  tercio fueron consistentemente categorizados como bajo o fuera de control en las  tres medidas", apuntó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eso apunta a la importancia de obtener medidas  múltiples en distintos ambientes, dijo Powers, quien también trabaja en el  Centro Médico de Asuntos de Veteranos de Durham. Usar una sola lectura como base  para recetar o ajustar medicamentos para la presión arterial podría poner a los  pacientes que sufren de hipertensión de "bata blanca" en peligro, apuntaron los  autores del estudio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se necesitaron hasta seis lecturas para obtener el  mejor cálculo de la presión arterial real, dijeron los autores, y añadieron que  los médicos deben hacer un promedio de los resultados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Powers comentó  que, en los últimos años, la monitorización de la presión arterial en el hogar  ha ganado respeto. Alrededor del 43 por ciento de las personas con hipertensión  usan monitores en el hogar, según la información de respaldo del estudio. Powers  y colegas dijeron que sus resultados respaldan llamadas recientes para que se  reembolse la monitorización de la presión arterial en el hogar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Creo  que los pacientes deben esperar que los médicos tomen decisiones según la  presión arterial en casa [además de otras medidas]", dijo.&lt;br /&gt;Los que compran un monitor de presión arterial para el hogar deben hacer que  lo validen en su consultorio médico en cuanto a la precisión, añadió Powers.&lt;br /&gt;Se debe aconsejar a los pacientes que midan su presión arterial a distintas  horas del día, y que se sienten y relajen cinco minutos antes de tomarla,  explicó Powers. Anotó que se deben esperar variaciones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Según el Dr.  Joseph Diamond, director de cardiología nuclear del Centro Médico Judío de Long  Island en Hyde Park, Nueva York, las lecturas de presión arterial quizás sean  "la evaluación más frecuente que resulta en un cambio de terapia médica".&lt;br /&gt;Aún así, el procedimiento con frecuencia tiene fallos debido a una mala  técnica de medición, o mediciones insuficientes, lamentó.&lt;br /&gt;"Este estudio confirma la necesidad de mejorar tanto la técnica de medición  como el número de medidas que se obtienen de forma que una decisión terapéutica  de iniciar o cambiar un medicamento se base en información más precisa",  enfatizó Diamond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En un editorial acompañante en la revista, el Dr.  Lawrence J. Appel y colegas de la Universidad de Johns Hopkins escribieron que  los hallazgos señalan a la necesidad de regulación en la evaluación de la  presión arterial. "Ya es hora de tomarse las mediciones de la presión arterial  en serio", redactaron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: smaller;"&gt;FUENTES:  Benjamin J.

La evolución desde un homínido cuadrúpedo vegetariano de vida arbórea y con un  cerebro muy pequeño, a un bípedo de vida terrestre omnívoro, pero de tendencias  carnívoras, y con un cerebro de mayor tamaño y de funciones más complejas  produjo, en alguna forma, una modificación de sus hábitos de alimentación,  particularmente en la ingesta de ácidos grasos omega-3 de cadena larga. La  transición desde una alimentación vegetariana a una alimentación  omnívora-carnívora, obligó a los homínidos a modificar la fisiología y la  bioquímica de su nutrición. Fue necesario desarrollar insulino resistencia en  algunos tejidos, como el músculo esquelético, y desarrollar un cierto grado de  leptino resistencia para optimizar el uso de la glucosa en aquellos tejidos  estrictamente dependientes de este nutriente. Estos cambios se traducen en lo  que ahora se denomina el genotipo del «gen ahorrador», que finalmente se expresa  en un fenotipo que propicia la acumulación de grasa en respuesta a una mayor  necesidad de reserva de energía, la que ahora no es necesaria, lo cual redunda  en un aumento vertiginoso de la obesidad en la población. Este trabajo revisa la  evolución de la nutrición en diferentes etapas del desarrollo del género Homo,  con énfasis en la importante función de los ácidos grasos omega-3 de cadena  larga en el desarrollo cerebral. También se analiza como las modificaciones en  la nutrición durante la evolución nos han conducido al aumento de la obesidad  que se observa actualmente en la población.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Artículo completo:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.creces.cl/new/index.asp?tc=1&amp;amp;nc=5&amp;amp;tit=&amp;amp;art=2207&amp;amp;pr"&gt;http://www.creces.cl/new/index.asp?tc=1&amp;amp;nc=5&amp;amp;tit=&amp;amp;art=2207&amp;amp;pr&lt;/a&gt;=&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415994878195154583-5975080746487540808?l=drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/feeds/5975080746487540808/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/06/insulino-resistencia-producto-de-la.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5975080746487540808'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415994878195154583/posts/default/5975080746487540808'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drvictorcastaneda.blogspot.com/2011/06/insulino-resistencia-producto-de-la.html' title='Insulino resistencia, producto de la vida moderna o no !!!'/><author><name>Dr. Víctor Castañeda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458214424546842305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jXbbxYr9r20/SX_Df0FCQgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/3uUFCdXSQk0/S220/Itzamn%C3%A1+Dios+Maya+de+la+Medicina.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415994878195154583.post-7605719312047271868</id><published>2011-06-19T15:23:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-19T15:23:54.567-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Por que la obesidad lleva a la diabetes</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;El estudio de una rara enfermedad, que se  caracteriza por la carencia de tejido graso, ha permitido entender la relación  existente entre la obesidad &lt;span style="background-color: #a0ffff; color: black;"&gt;y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; la &lt;span style="background-color: #99ff99; color: black;"&gt;diabetes&lt;/span&gt; tipo 2.
