© Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH 2017AbstractBACKGROUND:
The treatment of degenerative meniscal lesions has received increased attention since the publication of several Level 1 studies over the last few years. The following review of literature including the consensus statement given by ESSKA reports on the management of patients with degenerative meniscal lesions.
DISCUSSION:
Level 1 studies have focused on very selected patients. These patients do not represent the daily practice of orthopaedic surgeons. The findings of the level 1 studies should, therefore, not be generalized. According to the consensus statement of ESSKA, the treatment of degenerative meniscal lesions should start with conservative management. In the case of persistent symptoms, surgery should be considered after 3 months. In the case of mechanical symptoms, arthroscopy might be indicated earlier. Arthroscopy in advanced osteoarthritic knees is not indicated due to inferior clinical outcome.
KEYWORDS:
Arthroscopy surgery; Conservative therapy; Knee; Meniscus; Osteoarthrosis


Resumen

ANTECEDENTES:
El tratamiento de las lesiones meniscales degenerativas ha recibido mayor atención desde la publicación de varios estudios de nivel 1 en los últimos años. La siguiente revisión de la literatura, incluyendo la declaración de consenso dada por ESSKA informa sobre el manejo de pacientes con lesiones meniscales degenerativas.
DISCUSIÓN:
Los estudios de nivel 1 se han centrado en pacientes muy seleccionados. Estos pacientes no representan la práctica diaria de los cirujanos ortopédicos. Por lo tanto, los resultados de los estudios de nivel 1 no deben generalizarse. Según la declaración de consenso de ESSKA, el tratamiento de las lesiones meniscales degenerativas debe comenzar con un tratamiento conservador. En el caso de síntomas persistentes, la cirugía debe considerarse después de 3 meses. En el caso de síntomas mecánicos, la artroscopia podría estar indicada anteriormente. La artroscopia en rodillas osteoartríticas avanzadas no está indicada debido a un resultado clínico inferior.

Libro sobre AINES / Book on NSAIDs

Fármacos anti-inflamatorios no esteroideos
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
Edited by Ali Gamal Ahmed Al-kaf, ISBN 978-953-51-3444-2, Print ISBN 978-953-51-3443-5, 160 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published August 23, 2017 under CC BY 3.0 license
Edited Volume
This book intends to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview about the state of the art regarding the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in physical and rehabilitation medicine and the study of the pharmacodynamics of existing and newly introduced NSAIDs in the management of pain and inflammation. 
It will also elaborate and refine already known knowledge on the mechanism(s) of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. This book may provide additional knowledge about the design and development of new drug delivery systems loaded with NSAIDs potentially useful in the treatment of chronic inflammatory-based diseases following circadian cycle, uses of NSAIDs as a source of medicinal plants, and the adverse effects and drug interactions of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Cirugía globalizada / Global surgery

Cirugía global 2030: un mapa de ruta para los actores de los países de altos ingresos.
Global Surgery 2030: a roadmap for high income country actors.
BMJ Glob Health. 2016 Apr 6;1(1):e000011. doi: 10.1136/bmjgh-2015-000011. eCollection 2016 Apr.
Abstract
The Millennium Development Goals have ended and the Sustainable Development Goals have begun, marking a shift in the global health landscape. The frame of reference has changed from a focus on 8 development priorities to an expansive set of 17 interrelated goals intended to improve the well-being of all people. In this time of change, several groups, including the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, have brought a critical problem to the fore: 5 billion people lack access to safe, affordable surgical and anaesthesia care when needed. The magnitude of this problem and the world's new focus on strengthening health systems mandate reimagined roles for and renewed commitments from high income country actors in global surgery. To discuss the way forward, on 6 May 2015, the Commission held its North American launch event in Boston, Massachusetts. Panels of experts outlined the current state of knowledge and agreed on the roles of surgical colleges and academic medical centres; trainees and training programmes; academia; global health funders; the biomedical devices industry, and news media and advocacy organisations in building sustainable, resilient surgical systems. This paper summarises these discussions and serves as a consensus statement providing practical advice to these groups. It traces a common policy agenda between major actors and provides a roadmap for maximising benefit to surgical patients worldwide. To close the access gap by 2030, individuals and organisations must work collectively, interprofessionally and globally. High income country actors must abandon colonial narratives and work alongside low and middle income country partners to build the surgical systems of the future.

Neuronas adictivas / Addictive neurons

Agosto 28, 2017. No. 2794






Neuronas adictivas
Addictive neurons.
Kodirov SA1,2,3,4,5.
Ther Targets Neurol Dis. 2017;4. pii: e1498. Epub 2017 Jan 30.
Abstract
Since the reward center is considered to be the area tegmentalis ventralis of the hypothalamus, logically its neurons could mainly be responsible for addiction. However, the literature asserts that almost any neurons of CNS can respond to one or another addictive compound. Obviously not only addictive nicotine, but also alcohol, amphetamine, cannabis, cocaine, heroin and morphine may influence dopaminergic cells alone in VTA. Moreover, paradoxically some of these drugs ameliorate symptoms, counterbalance syndromes, cure diseases and improve health, not only those related to the CNS and in adults, but also almost all other organs and in children, e.g. epilepsy.
