Camilo Golgi y Louis Antoine Ranvier

Golgi y Ranvier: de la reacción negra a la teoría del dolor referido
Golgi and Ranvier: from the black reaction to a theory of referred pain.

Funct Neurol. 2015 Apr 13:1-5. [Epub ahead of print]
Abstract
In his brief report on the structure of the gray matter of the central nervous system (1873), in which he described the "black reaction", Golgi noted the ramifications of the axon. This discovery prompted the French histologist Louis Antoine Ranvier, one of the first to try the black reaction outside Italy, to propose an ingenious theory of referred pain in his Traité technique d'histologie. Ranvier suggested that the nerve fibers originating from the irritated area and those coming from the region to which the sensation is referred converge on the same axon and thus the same cell body, causing the spatial dislocation of sensation. This theory of referred pain is a powerful example of the extraordinary clinical-physiological impact of the first of Golgi's neurocytological discoveries.

Como Camilo Golgi se convirtió en el "Aparato de Golgi"
How Camillo Golgi became "the Golgi".

Abstract
On April 1898 Camillo Golgi communicated to the Medical-Surgical Society of Pavia, the discovery of the "internal reticular apparatus", a novel intracellular organelle which he observed in nerve cells with the silver impregnation he had introduced for the staining of the nervous system. Soon after the discovery it became evident that this cellular component, which was also named the "Golgi apparatus", was a ubiquitous structure in eukaryotic cells. However the reality of the organelle was questioned for years and many cytologists considered the internal reticular apparatus as an artefact due to the fixation and/or metallic impregnation procedure. The controversy was finally solved in the mid-1950s by electron microscopy when the Golgi apparatus definitely acquired its dignity of being a genuine cell organelle. The designation of "Golgi complex" entered officially in the literature in 1956. Both the terms Golgi apparatus and Golgi complex are currently interchangeable. However a quick "the Golgi" and the introduction of Golgi in adjectival form are now prevalent in the blooming scientific literature on the organelle. Thus Camillo Golgi underwent his final transformation and, becoming the eponym of the organelle he had discovered, he found a way to immortality.

La dieta mediterránea con frutos secos detiene la demencia asociada a la edad


¿Hay algo más saludable que la dieta mediterránea? Pues sí, la misma dieta tradicional pero con frutos secos o aceite de oliva extra virgen. Lo afirma un estudio español en el que se ha visto que este 'cóctel' saludable, rico en antioxidantes, se asocia con una mejor función cognitiva en personas mayores. En el artículo que publica la revista JAMA Internal Medicine se demuestran los beneficios de la dieta mediterránea para prevenir o retrasar el deterioro cognitivo asociado al envejecimiento que eventualmente termina en demencia o alzhéimer. El estudio, derivado del ensayo PREDIMED, Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea, revela que, después de 4 años de seguimiento, las personas que siguen esta dieta complementada con aceite de oliva virgen extra o frutos secos tienen una mejor función cognitiva que las personas asignadas a la dieta control....

Ultrasonido pulmonar/Lung ultrasound

Ultrasonido pulmonar: Presente y futuro
Lung ultrasound: Present and future.
Saraogi A.
Lung India 2015;32:250-7
Abstract
The scope of lung ultrasound (LUS) in emergency and critical care settings has been studied extensively. LUS is easily available at bedside, free of radiation hazard and real time. All these features make it useful in reducing need of bedside X-rays and CT scan of chest. LUS has been proven to be superior to the bedside chest X-ray and equal to chest CT in diagnosing many pleural and lung pathologies. The first International Consensus Conference on Lung Ultrasound (ICC-LUS) has given recommendations for unified approach and language in major six areas of LUS. The LUS diagnosis is to be given after integration of findings of both lungs. The BLUE protocol is first LUS-based systematic approach in diagnosing pleural and lung pathologies. The protocol suggested in this article includes history and conventional clinical assessment along with LUS features.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Bedside lung ultrasound (LUS) is a noninvasive, readily available imaging modality that can complement clinical evaluation. TheBedside Lung Ultrasound in Emergency (BLUE) protocol has demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). Recently, bedside LUS has been added to the medical training program of our ICU. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of LUS based on the BLUE protocol, when performed by physicians who are not ultrasound experts, to guide the diagnosis of ARF.
METHODS: Over a one-year period, all spontaneously breathing adult patients consecutively admitted to the ICU for ARF were prospectively included. After training, 4 non-ultrasound experts performed LUS within 20 minutes of patient admission. They were blinded to patient medical history. LUS diagnosis was compared with the final clinical diagnosis made by the ICU team before patients were discharged from the ICU (gold standard). RESULTS:
Thirty-seven patients were included in the analysis (mean age, 73.2 ± 14.7 years; APACHE II, 19.2 ± 7.3). LUS diagnosis had a good agreement with the final diagnosis in 84% of patients (overall kappa, 0.81). The most common etiologies for ARF were pneumonia (n = 17) and hemodynamic lung edema (n = 15). The sensitivity and specificity of LUS as measured against the final diagnosis were, respectively, 88% and 90% for pneumonia and 86% and 87% for hemodynamic lung edema. CONCLUSIONS: LUS based on the BLUE protocol was reproducible by physicians who are not ultrasound experts and accurate for the diagnosis of pneumonia and hemodynamic lung edema.
