Los huracanes Katia, Irma y José han sido devastadores en los países del Caribe, y su fuerza destructiva ha llegado al continente americano afectando a México y Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. María es otro de los 27 huracanes que se esperan en México para este 2017. Nuestro país está ubicado en una zona de riesgo sísmico al estar sobre cuatro placas tectónicas: Caribe, Norteamérica, Nazca y Cocos por lo cual cada día se registran más de 15 temblores de magnitud superior a 2. La combinación de los desastres por los ciclones y los sismos frecuentes nos ha puesto a prueba, prueba que vamos superando gracias a nuestra forma de ser, al cariño entre mexicanos que nos brindamos apoyo total aun sin conocernos y desde luego, al gran apoyo internacional que México ha recibido. Con este envío agradecemos las muestras de empatía y los apoyos que los mexicanos hemos recibido durante esta crisis nacional. ¡Dios les bendiga! Hurricanes Katia, Irma and Jose have been devastating in the Caribbean countries, and their destructive force has reached the American continent affecting Mexico and the United States of America. María is another of the 27 hurricanes expected in Mexico for this 2017. Our country is in an area of seismic risk because it is on four tectonic plates: Caribbean, North America, Nazca and Cocos, whereby every day more than 15 tremors of magnitude higher than 2 are registered. The combination of cyclone disasters and frequent earthquakes has tested us, proves that we are surpassing thanks to our way of being, to the affection among Mexicans that we give ourselves full support even without knowing ourselves and of course, the great international support that Mexico has received. With this e-mail we are grateful for the signs of empathy and support that Mexicans have received during this national crisis. God bless you! Os furacões Katia, Irma e José foram devastadores nos países do Caribe e sua força destrutiva atingiu o continente americano afetando o México e os Estados Unidos da América. María é outro dos 27 furacões esperados no México para este ano de 2017. Nosso país está localizado em uma zona de risco sísmico porque está em quatro placas tectônicas: Caribe, América do Norte, Nazca e Cocos, onde todos os dias são registados mais de 15 tremores de magnitude superiores a 2. A combinação de catástrofes e terremotos freqüentes nos testou, prova que estamos superando graças ao nosso modo de ser, ao afeto entre os mexicanos que nos damos todo o suporte, mesmo sem nos conhecer e, claro, o grande apoio internacional que O México recebeu. Com este envio, agradecemos os sinais de empatia e apoio que os mexicanos receberam durante esta crise nacional. Deus os abençoe! Els huracans Katia, Irma i José han estat devastadors en els països del Carib, i la seva força destructiva ha arribat al continent americà afectant Mèxic i Estats Units d'Amèrica del Nord. Maria és un altre dels 27 huracans que s'esperen a Mèxic per a aquest 2017. El nostre país està ubicat en una zona de risc sísmic a l'estar sobre quatre plaques tectòniques: Carib, Amèrica del Nord, Nazca i Cocos per la qual cosa cada dia es registren més de 15 tremolors de magnitud superior a 2. La combinació dels desastres pels ciclons i els sismes freqüents ens ha posat a prova, prova que anem superant gràcies a la nostra manera de ser, a l'afecte entre mexicans que ens brindem suport total i tot sense conèixer-nos i per descomptat, al gran suport internacional que Mèxic ha rebut. Amb aquesta tramesa agraïm les mostres d'empatia i els suports que els mexicans hem rebut durant aquesta crisi nacional. Déu els beneeixi!

Given that they can cause significant losses and deaths, it is really important to understand the process and the physics of this phenomenon. This book does not focus on a unique problem in earthquake processes, but spans studies on historical earthquakes and seismology in different tectonic environments, to more applied studies on earthquake geology.

Whatever the answer to each of these questions, people who have experienced terror, suffer considerable psychological injury. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in a Global Context offers some answers to meet the needs of health care and socials service providers in all settings, whether in a hospital emergency room, at the war front, or natural disaster site. The take home message is, after providing emergency care, there is always a pressing need to provide mental health care to all victims of traumatic stress. Libro / Book

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
The long-term results of heterotopic ossification (HO) following lumbar total disc replacement (TDR) and the corresponding clinical and radiological outcomes are unclear.

PURPOSE:
To report the long-term results of HO following lumbar TDR and to analyze the clinical and radiological outcomes.

CONCLUSION:
We found that the incidence of HO is the highest within 12 months after lumbar TDR, and the incidence might increase 5 years after surgery. Furthermore, HO progressed over time. Segmental ROM (range of motion ) was decreased in HO groups; however, the limitation in motion might have little clinical influence.

KEYWORDS:

Resumen

ANTECEDENTES:
Los resultados a largo plazo de la osificación heterotópica (HO) después de la sustitución del disco lumbar total (TDR) y los correspondientes resultados clínicos y radiológicos no están claros.
PROPÓSITO:
Informar los resultados a largo plazo de la HO tras el TDR lumbar y analizar los resultados clínicos y radiológicos.

CONCLUSIÓN:
Se encontró que la incidencia de HO es la más alta dentro de los 12 meses después del TDR lumbar, y la incidencia podría aumentar 5 años después de la cirugía. Además, HO progresó con el tiempo. El  segmento de ROM  (rango de movimiento) disminuyó en los grupos HO; sin embargo, la limitación en movimiento podría tener poca influencia clínica.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

Lumbar synovial cysts are relatively infrequent. Historically, these benign lesions have been treated with open excision, sometimes associated with fusion. The aim of this study is to compare Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) with Open Surgery (OS) for the treatment of lumbar synovial cysts.

CONCLUSIONS:

In this study, Minimally Invasive Surgery for the treatment of lumbar synovial cysts appears to be more effective than Open Surgery in relieving radicular symptoms. Furthermore, MIS is better tolerated by patients and is potentially cost saving for the Health Service, due to the reduction in hospital stay and the reduced requirement for painkillers.

Resumen

OBJETIVO:
Los quistes sinoviales lumbares son relativamente infrecuentes. Históricamente, estas lesiones benignas han sido tratadas con excisión abierta, a veces asociada con fusión. El objetivo de este estudio es comparar la cirugía mínimamente invasiva (MIS) con cirugía abierta (OS) para el tratamiento de los quistes sinoviales lumbares.

CONCLUSIONES:
En este estudio, la cirugía mínimamente invasiva para el tratamiento de los quistes sinoviales lumbares parece ser más eficaz que la cirugía abierta en el alivio de los síntomas radiculares. Además, el MIS es mejor tolerado por los pacientes y es potencialmente económico para el Servicio de Salud, debido a la reducción de la estancia hospitalaria y la reducción de la necesidad de analgésicos.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:

Complications after internal fixation of proximal humerus fracture are common and may require surgical revision. Reversetotal shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is frequently performed in such cases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the functional results and complications after RTSA for the treatment of type I fracture sequelae after internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures.

CONCLUSION:

Satisfying results can be obtained with RTSA as a salvage procedure for type I fracture sequelae after previous internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures.

KEYWORDS:

Fracture sequelae; Internal fixation; Proximal humerus fracture; Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty

Resumen

INTRODUCCIÓN:
Las complicaciones después de la fijación interna de la fractura del húmero proximal son comunes y pueden requerir una revisión quirúrgica. La artroplastia reversa total del hombro (RTSA) se realiza con frecuencia en tales casos. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar los resultados funcionales y las complicaciones después de RTSA para el tratamiento de las secuelas de la fractura de tipo I después de la fijación interna de las fracturas proximales del húmero.

CONCLUSIÓN:
Se pueden obtener resultados satisfactorios con RTSA como un procedimiento de rescate para secuelas de fractura de tipo I después de la fijación interna previa de fracturas proximales del húmero.
