Pie en la diabetes

Posted on 5 marzo, 2011 by gerineldo| Deja un comentario

Os dejo una presentación de la enfermera con la que compartí cuatro años de trabajo sobre prevención del pie diabético. Ella, excelente persona y profesional, prefiere permanecer en el ‘anonimato’, pero desea compartir su presentación a través de mi blog. Ningún mérito me pertenece a mí.

Dedicado a todos los enfermeros/as, cuya labor es imprescindible y a veces (demasiadas) minusvalorada y poco oída por las instituciones y la sociedad en general.

PARTICULATE BONE ALLOGRAFT INCORPORATION IN REGENERATION OF OSSEOUS DEFECTS; IMPORTANCE OF PARTICLE SIZES

pp.19-24 (6) Authors: Theodore I. Malinin, Ellen M. Carpenter, H. Thomas Temple -- doi: 10.2174/1874325000701010019 -- Packing of bone defect with particulate allografts is a commonly performed clinical procedure. However, the ideal size of bone particles used to fill bone defects is ill-defined. For this reason the study of biology of bone allografts with different particle sizes has been performed.

"La mecánica del cerebro"

"La mecánica del cerebro"

El cerebro es un órgano delicado y extraordinariamente complejo que no deja de ser objeto de investigaciones. Este sábado La Noche Temática nos aproxima a a algunos de los hallazgos sobre su capacidad de transformación a través de tres documentales. Los vídeos completos estarán disponibles en la web tras la emisión en tv. Sigue el programa también en Twitter a través del hashtag #lanochetematica

"La plasticidad del cerebro"

Arrancamos La Noche Temática con un documental de nacionalidad canadiense que ahonda en la capacidad de cambio del cerebro por sí mismo. En él, el doctor Norman Doidge  viaja a través de América del Norte para entrevistarse con algunos de los investigadores que hicieron descubrimientos revolucionarios sobre la plasticidad del cerebro humano

"Arréglame el cerebro"

¿Es el cerebro un músculo inteligente capaz de cambiar por sí mismo a través de ejercicios específicos? Parece ser que sí. Barbara Arrowsmith, una de las protagonistas de este documental, es una mujer que ha cambiado su propio cerebro.

"El misterio del alzheimer"

Documental que nos presenta a personas que están ayudando a resolver el misterio de la enfermedad de Alzheimer con métodos inusuales. Como el que se puso en marcha en Lexington, Kentucky, a principios de los años 90, donde nació la idea de una investigación que se ha hecho famosa bajo el nombre de 'El estudio de las monjas'.

Antes y después de conocer el cerebro

El cerebro es uno de los órganos más sofisticados del planeta, pero tiene sus limitaciones. Conocer esos obstáculos que paralizan que nuestro cerebro sea una "máquina perfecta", es el gran reto de la neurociencia de hoy. Si ese objetivo llegua a conseguirse, supondría una revolución total en nuestra sociedad; podría cambiar desde la Economía a las normas jurídicas, pasando por el sistema educativo

El cerebro se cambia a sí mimo

The mind that changes itself  - el cerebro se cambia a sí mismo- es el libro de el Dr. Norman Doidge que sirve como hilo conductor en nuestro primer docuemental, La plasticidad del cerebro. El conocido psiquiatra realiza una importante recopilación de distintos hallazagos que demuestran la inimiganible capacidad adaptativa que tiene el cerebro, de auto-regenarción y reparación. Doige retrata las teorías más innovadoras y revolucionarias de la neuroplasticidad

Barbara Arrowsmith

Barbara Arrowsmith Young fue, alguna vez, una estudiante con unas importantes dificultades en el aprendizaje que, entre otras cosas, le impedían comprender lo que leía o lo que la gente decía. Para intentar poner remedio a esta situación, Barbara inventó una serie de ejercicios mentales para ayudar a su cerebro a readiestrarse y aprender. Logró susperar sus problemas. Más tarde, ideó más ejercicios del mismo tipo para ayudar a superar esos mismo problemas a otras personas. Así nació el Colegio Arrowsmith, con una metodología dirigida a estimular las capacidades de aprendizaje

Augusta D, la primera paciente de Alzheimer

Según las notas de Alois Azheimer, cuando Augusta llegó al Hospital de Frankfurt en 1902, tenía 51 años. La paciente presentaba un cuadro de confusión, ansiedad y agitación. Examinarla, escribía Alois, resultaba muy complicado. Cuando se calmó y pudieron realizarle el exámen pertinente, el equipo de médicos concluyó que su memoria estaba dañada, tenía dificultades para hablar, se desorientaba y sufría paranoia y alucinaciones auditivas. Augusta, no supo decir su apellido y por eso terminaron por apellidarla con la letra D
