-incontinence affects frequently patients with multiple sclerosis
-treatment with botulinum toxin type A improves the patients with multiple sclerosis and urinary incontinence associated with hyperactivity of the bladder detrusor muscle
– Similarly, the choice of a suitable absorbent helps to improve the quality of life
Madrid, 2011-December multiple sclerosis is a disease of chronic nature consisting of the appearance of degenerative lesions and demyelinating central nervous system. Depending on the affected site, may manifest different symptoms or alterations of the functions. Alterations in the nerve signals required for the control of urination, can cause problems to retain urine, which is why urinary incontinence often affects patients with sclerosis multiple.
toxin botulinum and quality of life
in a recent study carried out by different authors (Khan S, Game X)(, Kalsi V, Gonzales G, Panicker J, Elneil S, A Apostolidis, Hamid R, Dasgupta P, Kessler TM, Fowler CJ) examined the effect on the quality of life produced by the administration of intravesical injections of botulinum toxin type A in patients with multiple sclerosis, which additionally had a type of urinary incontinence associated with detrusor muscle hyperactivityrefractory to other treatments.
This work showed that with this treatment, and in these specific cases, improving the quality of life for these patients. These are the conclusions drawn by Dr. MarÃa Jesús Cancelo Hidalgo, head of section of the service of Gynecology of the Hospital gynecologist University of Guadalajara. Secretary of the SEGO (Spanish society of Gynecology and obstetrics) and a permanent member of the National Observatory of incontinence (INO).
There has been a follow-up of these patients (men and women) by measuring its quality of life, via scales validated for this purpose such as the Urogenital Distress Inventory, the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire and EuroQol-5 questionnaire prior to the injection of botulinum toxin. Four months after the administration of treatment, it was found an improvement in the continence of urine and, consequently, in their quality of life. Although it is known that the improvement of symptoms with the injection of botulinum toxin is temporary and is required to repeat the treatment, the results of the study indicate that the interval between injections in many of the patients had periods of 12-13 months. Others require repeat treatment in spaces of time more shorts.
suitable absorbent and quality of life
the reality is that all forms of incontinence can lead to a negative change in the quality of life of people who suffer from, why the need to urgently improve this aspect is the main objective pursued by different employees in incontinence treatmentswhatever.
The benefit in the quality of life of a performance or treatment is not always related to a reduction in episodes of urine leaks, and so, for example, the use of absorbent adequate improvement the quality of life of patients with incontinence.
The right type of palliative treatment choice, in this case the absorbent, depending on the characteristics of the patient, has a benefit added to avoid undesirable leaks and security therein, which allows to improve social activity, the ability of relationship and ultimately own self-esteem.
In all patients with incontinence of urine, and irrespective of the origin of it, the proper choice of absorbents should be considered following an individualized prescription in those people with multiple sclerosis, with a greater reason. Furthermore, always be feasible, will proceed to the abolition of semi-permanent drilling to avoid potential urinary tract infections, by an absorbent adjusted to the type of incontinence and the user’s profile, in addition, considering not only the functional core aspects of the product, but also all ancillary circumstances thereof (neutralization of the smell, discretion, comfort, adjustability, breathability, etc.) that in many cases, go to occupy the first place.
Similarly, the presence of a properly formed caregiver (see focused INO guides both the health professional and caregiver and patient www.observatoriodelaIncontinencia.es) it is essential to facilitate the quality of life in the late stages of the illness.
what is the National Observatory of incontinence?
The National Observatory of incontinence ( ONI ) is the first entity of pluralistic, multidisciplinary character and centre of reference of the urinary incontinence in Spain. INO is the nexus between the different social sectors involved in the disease: patients and their families, health professionals, management, and other stakeholders.
With the patient as central objective, INO seeks “ humanize ” the perspective of the discussions and considerations in dealing with this pathological condition, also advocating an improvement of the quality healthcare through the principles of quality of life, freedom of choice and sustainability of the health system.
The Observatory is composed of a group permanent members, all opinion leaders in the field, covering all social groups and medical specialties from different perspectives, and whose purpose is the provide the maximum added value to the discussions within the body. It also has the endorsement of numerous scientific societies and associations.
SCA promotes the Observatory
SCA Hygiene Products S.L. is the promoter of this initiative. It represents a history of innovation in products and services for nearly a century of existence. Marketed brands of such solvency in the sector for example TENA Lady, TENA SCA, absorbent Pants, TENA Men or TENA Bed are present in over 90 countries and are considered a benchmark in quality.
The plurality’s approach issues SCA, is the result of comprehensive vision and inclusive from his leadership. In this same spirit has led to similar initiatives in other countries, as for example in Italy with the Fondazione Italiana Continenza is patron or France with the Institut TENA which is its maximum driving.

Only three CC.AA may be exempt from problems in the payment of medicines.
according to the Spanish Agency of Administration tax.
-only Asturias, the Canary Islands and the Basque country appear as potential “ exempted from liquidity problems ” in the report of the AEAT
-surge in spending in the month of August before the entry of new reduced prices
-declines in spending and average price shall very charged from the turnover of November, month in which will affect the actions of the RDL 9, 2011
Madrid, October 2011.- an estimate of possible liquidity problems in the different autonomous communities, the upturn in spending and a comparison between the different regions from the point of view of regional GDP spent on the purchase of medicines by recipesthey are the most relevant topics of the Observatory of the medicinal product drawn up by the Business Federation of Spanish pharmaceutical (FEFE) and referred to the month of August.
The main problem of many autonomous communities continues to be the payment of the invoice of medicines, as had been already revealed in Castile-la Mancha, Balearic Islands, Valencia, la Rioja, Catalonia and Navarre, not that can be ruled out a widespread situation of defaults in most parts of the country in the last months of the year. only three CC.AA, Asturias, Canary Islands and the Basque country appear as possible free from liquidity problems, as she was demonstrated in a follow-up in the collection of the Spanish Agency for tax administration (AEAT).
In this sense, the proposal by FEFE and regional federations of businessmen pharmaceutical to make the Government who support the collection of the debt owed by the CC.AA has already been submitted to the Council of Ministers. The endorsements made by the State in the past two years to shipping companies, cars or credit have taken as a precedent.
spending accumulated until August
in the jackpot of the months of January and August this year, the number of recipes grows a 2.75%; spending drops a 9,15% and average prescription spending drops a 11,59%.
The trend of decline in expenditure and the average price of prescriptions happens in August to be positive. The number of recipes increases slightly, as already occurred in July, which proves something FEFE comes highlighting permanently: does not act on the demand side.
Forecasts in the short term, although they show a growth of indicators cannot be attributed more than an occasional phenomenon, probably influenced by the price changes, so it is not easy to keep in the months of September and October, still with a predictable recovery or stabilisation in the growth of the number of recipes.
Autonomous communities by
Spending increases in August in new communities and autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. The largest increases are recorded in Cantabria (+ 3.89%); Castilla the spot (+ 3.35 per cent) and Madrid (+ 3.0). The biggest declines occur in Galicia (- 5.69%); Aragon (- 2.91%); Murcia (- 2.45%) and La Rioja (- 2.10%).
New groupings of medicines
In the review of the key figures of the lists published by the Ministry of health, we can observe that all medications funded in 3.139 groupings, including 212 groupings of medicines under patent and their licenses have been classified. Voluntary price cuts exclusively concerning generic medicines included in reference prices have also been published. Of these declines, there are more than 400 that are denied because “ the asking price is equal to or greater than the current price of marketing ” although there are other less common types of denial which include medications that are in some cases in “ unsubscribe from marketing ”, for what was to be hoped that changes occur in the published lists.
Differences in consumption
Also in this Observatory have been compared the differences between the various CC.AA from the point of view of regional GDP spent on the purchase of medicines by recipes and total expenditure “ per capita ” medicines. Employing a greater proportion of their GDP in medicines are Extremadura, Castile-La Mancha, Galicia and Murcia. Those that are less country Basque, the Balearic Islands and Madrid, where occurs lower GDP spending on drugs. From the point of view of expenditure in euros per capita there are some differences that have to do surely with the number of staff and the population over 65 years of age. The average of GDP spent on payment of the recipes is 1.05%, much lower than at other times he came to be 1.5%; and the average expenditure in euros is currently in 243 euros with a wide dispersal that Galicia spend 308 EUR and Madrid only 186 euros per person.
forecast
though to continue spending and average price declines forecasts short-term – September and October – indicate that these will not be as bulky as compared to months in those who have already acted RRs.DD.LL 4 and 8 (2010) in the previous year, situation that will be very pronounced from the turnover of November which affect also measures the RDL 9, 2011.

Clinical laboratory specialists can diagnose and classify urological and nephrologic diseases studying the red cells excreted in the urine
the Spanish society of Clinical Biochemistry and Molecular Pathology holds the distinction of the red cells of glomerular origin seminar: an illusion or a useful tool for clinical diagnosis?
– to do so, have a method that investigates the morphological abnormalities of the red cells and, depending on the result classifies hematuria (blood in the urine loss) at isomórfica or Dimorphous
-the isomórfica determines urologic diseases and the Dimorphous is presentexclusively, in the nephrologic
-20% of the general population suffers from urinary tract conditions
-urinary sediment it is the last manual analyses with subjective final evaluation, which means that you know the more and more experience is the best researcher and more specialized results are obtained
– from all the tests for the diagnosis of renal diseases, the urine is the less invasive and less health cost
Madrid, October of 2011- the study of urinary sediment is a source of important information in the evaluation of kidney injury and more when around 20% of the general population suffers conditions in the apparatus urinal. “ from my experience, in an only Institute of Urology, Nephrology and Andrology, dedicated to deal with this kind of problem, carried more than 60,000 annual outpatient visits and nearly 4,000 surgical ”, says Dr. Fernando Dalet, Member of the Spanish society of Clinical Biochemistry and Molecular Pathology (SEQC).
As in other pathologies, the early diagnosis of renal lesions is essential, and in doing so, they are vital tests to achieve this. In this sense, the Spanish society of Clinical Biochemistry and Molecular Pathology (SEQC) aims to put on the table the important role of laboratory tests to determine the majority of conditions associated with the urinary system. To this end, has organised the distinction of the red cells of glomerular origin seminar: an illusion or a useful tool for clinical diagnosis?, sponsored by the Fundación José Luis Castaño for the development of Clinical Biochemistry.
“ Urine sediment is, in practice, the last of the manual analysis with subjective final evaluation, which means, in short, the more you know and greater experience has the best researcher and more specialized results are obtained ”, explains Dr. Dalet. “ hence, the importance of generating knowledge and report on developments in this field that, as with everything, there are easy cases of rapid diagnosis and other complex ”, adds the expert.
Today, have different tests to determine if a person suffers or not kidney disease. “ There are diagnostic tests for the image (x-rays, ultrasound and CT), the Liveview (Endoscopy) and the analytical. “ Almost all, except ultrasonography and urine are invasive tests, i.e., is undermining the integrity of the patient and there is always some risk ”, reveals Dr. Dalet. This reason and others such as security, its easy to obtain and its very low cost lead experts to recommend this diagnostic test.
The red cells as clinical diagnostic tool
Hematuria (blood in the urine loss) is a sign (not a symptom) which immediately alerts not only to the clinic but also to the patient, which attends the doctor’s presuroso. “ The main reason for this fact is that all urological pathologies and almost all the nephrologic show this sign ”, explains Dr. Dalet.
Currently, the clinical laboratory has a method that investigates the morphological abnormalities of the red cells and depending on the result classifies hematuria in isomórfica or Dimorphous. “ Hematuria isomórfica comes from the direct discharge of blood capillaries to the urinary stream, as occurs in urological diseases, so the patient can lead to the urologist ”, says Dr. Dalet. “ On the other hand, adds expert, Dimorphous hematuria comes the filtration unit nefrónica and indicates a lesion of the glomerulus. This means that this type of hematurias will be present exclusively in own kidney diseases of nefrológico origin, or in those of a systemic nature with impact on the kidney as hypertension, diabetes, gout or dislipemias, among others ”.
In this regard and in conclusion, Dr. Dalet says that “ thanks to a simple test of urine, which has a cost very low for the national health system, can control and keep track of the number of people over age 50 has one or more of the above diseases. This is a challenge and a change in attitude that still continue costly analysis of blood as a follow-up of these patients ”.
The SEQC
The Spanish society of Clinical Biochemistry and pathology Molecular (SEQC) – founded in 1976 – currently includes around 2,000 professionals and main aims to bring together all scientists interested in the field of the clinical laboratory, promoting the dissemination of scientific and technical periodicalsorganize meetings, courses and national and international congresses and cooperate with other scientific societies. Also, the society wants to contribute to study and recommend standardised methods and to establish guidelines and recommendations for training in the field of Clinical Biochemistry and Molecular Pathology.
