Postmodernism is the most dangerous of the story for mental health

X meeting annual of the society Basque-Navarre psychiatric (Vitoria 29 and 30 September)

Conference INAUGURAL

-in Spain, at least 25% of women and 15% of men have suffered throughout their lives any pathology psychic.

-this must be added some estimates worrying: 14% of the population will have disorders of stress and anxiety, and 30%, will need counseling or psychiatric.

-technological addictions and the cult of the image are two issues of special incidence in this century

Vitoria, 2011-September “ this is the most dangerous time of history for the mental health ”. This resounding expressed Jesús de la Gandara, Chief of Psychiatry in complex healthcare in Burgos, present at the annual meeting X of the Navarra Basque society of Psychiatry, where he developed the paper “ Postmodernism and mental health: depression, women, and facebook ”. Understand the specialist to “ in the past 50 years has increased the number of patients with a mental disorder, and in particular with certain diseases associated with depression and anxiety ”.

The data that handles De la Gandara is illuminating. In Spain, at least 25% of women and 15% of men have suffered some mental pathology throughout their lives. To this we must add some worrying estimates: 14% of the population will have disorders of stress and anxiety, and 30%, will need psychological or psychiatric help.

The specialist will set up three camps of special incidence. “ In the chapter of the depressions are included, for example, those pathologies associated with sadness, depression and stress ”. Underlines the expert “ mental health international official bodies have already established that these pathologies are more disability and loss of quality of life generated today. Postmodern humans live well, but we are suffering from depression or anxiety ”, the expert concludes.

In the women’s section, De la Gandara qualifies that “ not done reading only of women but of those strata more fragile. ” from this perspective, the specialist said that depression and anxieties have always existed, but are now more frequent, especially in womenchildren, adolescents and elderly people, in other words, the more disadvantaged population. In addition, its detection and treatment experienced a noticeable increase ”.

In the chapter entitled facebook, the Chief of Psychiatry in complex healthcare of Burgos points out that “ technological addictions and the cult of the image are two issues of special incidence in this century ”. Thus, the expert says that “ the postmodern lifestyle (quick, computerized, with a general eclecticism of moral and family, and dominated by the hiperconsumismo values) generates peculiar characteristics in coexistence that increases psychic disorders. Anxiety and modern stress are related to work, the woman more vulnerable than men to emotional disorders. With regard to children and adolescents, increased consultations in Psychiatry by depression and hyperactivity disorders. Also in adolescents are increasing problems of body image (anorexia and bulimia) and the suicide rate. In the elderly, arise syndromes Diogenes or problems resulting from loneliness. New Addictions (to mobile phones, internet, television, work, play, sex or consumption) are one of the problems that most have increased in recent times. It is, in short, a mismatch between the modern person and the world you live ”.

The expert illustrates this appreciation with an example. “ what the disease is more prevalent in these days? Baldness. There are two billion people in the world with this problem to whose research spend so many resources for cancer. Still, there are millions of people who seek solutions in crecepelos, an old human aspiration. Remains to be seen whether this obsession is a psicoestético disorder or has to be addressed from other disciplines such as sociology, but the truth is that we live pending mirror ”.

Underlines the psychiatrist to “ body and mind are the same thing. For example, stress or anxiety leads to hypertension, heart disease, digestive problems, fall of the hair, or menstrual disorders. Another remarkable fact is that women over the age of 65 years with sustained stress are more likely to die of heart disease ”.

The proposal that De la Gandara will launch at the Congress is the engage one “ revolution humanotécnica, a coupling of the humanistic virtues and all scientific and technological contributions. It is necessary to invest in a new philosophy in which the human being is the central axis ”.

Pemetrexed (Alimta ®) also helps to control the form of more frequent lung cancer in elderly patients

-Pemetrexed receives positive opinion from CHMP as maintenance of continuation treatment

-new PARAMOUNT survey data show benefits in a difficult to treat population

Indianapolis, 2011-September the Committee for medicinal products for human use (CHMP) has issued its positive opinion for the use of pemetrexed (Alimta ®) as a continued maintenance treatment in patients with lung cancer do not Advanced microcítico of non squamous cell. Currently, there is no maintenance therapy of continuation in which used chemotherapy agent is the same one used previously in the front line.

This the CHMP positive opinion was based on the results of the PARAMOUNT Studio. PARAMOUNT is the second study that evaluates the use of pemetrexed as maintenance therapy in patients with this type of lung cancer non–small (NSCL) advanced not scaly, and is the first study that examines the use of the maintenance of continuation with pemetrexed used the combination of pemetrexed and cisplatin in the front line.

The results of this multicenter study and double-blind showed that the median of the progression free survival measured from randomization (after the first line treatment) was 3.9 months in the Group of pemetrexed, versus 2.6 months in the placebo group, with a reason of risk of the 0.64. Put another way, this study showed that pemetrexed improves in 36% of disease progression-free survival, compared with the placebo group. The rate of disease control (percentage of patients who get a response or stabilization), evaluated 6 weeks after randomization for the first time, was 71.8 percent (2.8% / 69.0%) in the Group of pemetrexed and 59.6 percent (0.6% / 59.0%) in the placebo group

Recently, a new subgroup analysis of data from the pivotal phase III PARAMOUNT study has shown that continuation with pemetrexed (Alimta ®) maintenance treatment also reduces the risk of disease progression in patients of 70 years or more with lung cancer non–small (NSCL) advanced of non squamous cell.

The new analysis results are presented during the session of Posters of cancer of lung metastatic (Abstract # 9072) at the Congress of cancer multidisciplinary European (formerly known as ECCO-ESMO) held in Stockholm (Sweden) in the 2011 edition.

At the PARAMOUNT Studio, a total of 939 patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC were included in the study; 539 whose tumors have not progressed during the induction phase entered the phase of maintenance of the study. Of these, 92 patients were elderly.

The new sub-analysis presented in Stockholm compared the use of pemetrexed with placebo in patients with age > 70 years (n = 92). In this group of elderly patients, pemetrexed reduced the risk of progression of the disease by 65 per cent (reason for risk: 0.35; 95% CI: 0, 20-0, 63), based on a median progression-free survival of 6.4 months on the arm of pemetrexed versus 3.0 months in the placebo group. In the Group of patients under the age of 70, pemetrexed reduced the risk of progression of the disease by 31 per cent (ratio of risk, 0.69, 95%); IC: 0, 54-0, 90), with a progression free survival of 4.0 months for pemetrexed versus 2.8 months for placebo.

“ Lung cancer can be difficult to treat in patients over 70 years, they often have co-morbidities and can tolerate therapies against cancer worse ”, stated Dr. César Gridelli, one of the researchers of the PARAMOUNT Studio and doctor of the Hospital S. Giuseppe Moscati of AvellinoItaly. “ Indeed, some patients over 70 years of age only can offer them support treatments. These results show that the regime in keeping with pemetrexed can provide a benefit to certain patients of age advanced. ”

the study included patients with NSCLC advanced non squamous cells which were a combination of pemetrexed (500 mg/m2 on day 1 of each 21-day cycle) with cisplatin (75 mg/m2) in induction therapy. Patients whose disease had not progressed during induction with pemetrexed and cisplatin and had a functional State of 0-1 were distributed randomly to receive maintenance therapy with pemetrexed (500 mg/m2 on day 1 of each 21-day cycle) more optimal treatment support, or placebo more optimal support treatment until disease progression.

In general, adverse events more serious (grade 3/4) related to the medication were more frequent in elderly patients included in maintenance therapy of continuation than in patients under the age of 70 (21% vs 7%). These adverse effects were mainly haematological (anaemia and neutropenia). The study elderly patients tended to have a poorer than younger patients functional State (0 EF: 20% vs 34%, respectively;) EF 1: 79% vs 66%, respectively), and the older age group received more treatment cycles with pemetrexed (5.5 to 4.8 in the younger group).

The overall results of PARAMOUNT, which achieved its primary objective of progression-free survival, were presented in June 2011 at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).

about 30% of men with hypertension suffer further erectile dysfunction

hypertension and treatments with which it is can also exacerbate the problems of erectile dysfunction, but compatible treatments that can solve these pathologies

Madrid, 2011-September Boston Medical Groupglobal partnership in clinical medical specialist in the treatment of male sexual dysfunctions, warns that high blood pressure, in itself, and medications that is are responsible for a high percentage of erectile dysfunction problems. According to a study of the Spanish society of hypertension, – Spanish League for the fight against Arterial hypertension (SEHLELHA) – 53.1 per cent of males that occur in the hypertension units suffer from erectile dysfunction. Approximately between 20 and 30% of hypertensive men they suffer from erectile dysfunction problems at some point in his life.

High blood pressure (hypertension, chronic disease characterized by an increase in the numbers of blood pressure in the arteries) peripheral vasoconstriction is one of the risk factors that can cause erectile dysfunction.

According to José Benítez, medical director of the Boston Medical Group, “ if the small blood vessels in the penis become narrow is more difficult for them to relax and fill with blood during erection process, an essential mechanism for maintaining relationships sex full ”.

Hypertensive men suffer from a progressive damage to the vessel walls of cavernous tissue, altering the production of nitric oxide (which facilitates erections). As a result “ is impossible to correct relaxation of blood vessels, critical to achieve penile rigidity ”, explains Dr. Benítez.

However, doctor Benitez advises and alerts that “ in no case should be the determination of suspended antihypertensive medication to improve erection without consulting a doctor, that may have adverse effects on their health. There are alternative, and compatible with antihypertensive drugs treatments able to offer a solution to the problems of erectile dysfunction ” is recommended to go to a specialist.

Dr. Benítez, claimed that the increase of “ blood pressure or hypertension can cause erectile dysfunction and impotence ”, but this disease can also cause serious cardiovascular problems. Frequent medical control is therefore advisable to and before the diagnosis of hypertension must follow a strict control to prevent other consequences.

To avoid high blood pressure, it is advisable to walk (is a simple and economic measure to prevent cardiovascular disease), restrict the excess of salt in meals and avoid diets high in fat. In general, practicing a healthy lifestyle habits including sports. In other cases to control high blood pressure is necessary to use drugs that decrease the tension and the risks of heart or brain infarcts.
