The UN warning that synthetic drugs are a growing risk to the world

|

Vienna, 13 sep (EFE).-the United Nations warned today that drug synthesis, such as Ecstasy and methamphetamine, are the second type of illegal narcotic drugs most consumed on the planet, after cannabis, and have emerged in recent years a threat growing for the health and stability.

“While (the market of) heroin, cocaine and cannabis has remained fairly stable during the period from 2005 to 2009, amphetamine-type stimulants showed a marked increase over the same period”, according to a report on these substances of the Office of the United Nations on drugs and crime (UNODC).

The United Nations recognizes that it is very difficult to control this type of designer – drugs very harmful to the health – because depend on their manufacture exclusively chemicals can create anywhere at a low price and without leaving trace.

Can “as opposed to drugs of plant, such as opioids or cocaine base of synthetic drugs be manufactured anywhere with little initial investment”, warns the UN.

This makes it also difficult to establish the number of consumers, although according to seizures, the UN says that you there are between 14 and 57 million people aged between 15 and 64 years who have tried them in the last year.

By geographical areas, the amphetamine-type stimulants have experienced a boom in Southeast Asia and some countries of Eastern Europe, but no region of the world is immune to its expansion.

They also warn that the magnitude of the problem is not well reflected given that large countries such as the India and China have not done so far estimates of consumption.

In Latin America, with the priority in the fight against cocaine, has not considered this drug as a “significant threat”, says the UN.

Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina are the countries which show a higher rate of consumption in the amphetamine-type stimulants, while Argentina tops records in synthetic the ecstasy group of drugs.

The United Nations is “concerned” by the growing use of these drugs among American youth and exposes the example of Argentina, which has gone from a prevalence in ecstasy use among students in 2001 of 0.2% to 2.6% in 2009.

Also stresses that it has dismantled an increasing number of laboratories in Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala and Nicaragua.

This type of drug laboratory, as well as being “affordable and easy-to-manufacture”, allows criminal networks exploit new markets to get great benefits, explains Nations United.

“The market for amphetamine-type stimulants has gone from being a practical landlady of manufacturing on a small scale to become a market similar to that of heroin or cocaine, with greater integration and involved organized crime groups,” warned the head of UNODC, Russian Yuri Fedotov.

Substances known as amphetamines and ecstasy, UN warns of “high danger” of new synthetic drugs which are beyond the international control and can be purchased over the Internet with utmost ease.

An example is the mefedrona, which is announced as fertilizer for plants or salts of bath, and although it is “very dangerous” because of its high toxicity – health in Europe there are already several cases of deaths-can be purchased online and is still legal in many countries.

Criminal organizations take advantage of the legal vacuum with these substances called “legal highs” (legal subidones) because unless they are banned usually take some time due to required toxicological testing once detected.

Prevention of hereditary cancer consultations increase 8%.

Cancer prevention queries increase 8% inherited.

the genetic Council of the Hospital Provincial de Castellón unit conducts research to identify the risk of developing a tumor.

Castellón, 2011-September Unit of genetic counselling in Oncology of the Consortium hospital Provincial de Castellón, dedicated to identifying and advising people that by his family history may be susceptibility to certain types of cancer, has been in the last year a total of 319 consultations, an increase of 8 percent.

The directors of the Centre, Nicholas Martinez and Miguel Llorens, stressed Thursday the work of this device, which made genetic studies that allow to identify those individuals at risk of developing a hereditary cancer, as these tumors present mutations in specific genes that predispose to the development of a malignancy.

According to experts, it is estimated that you between 5 and 10 per cent of diagnosed cancers are hereditary.

the advice that is carried out from this unit tries to determine the risk that members of a family are suffering from cancer; as well as the possibilities of transmitted to their descendants and establish the necessary measures to reduce the risk, or at least, proceed with a detection as early as possible to the tumors.

Thus, the probability of these individuals to transmit these mutations to their offspring is 50 percent.

Reduce the incidence of cancer and his death is therefore the objective unit that, in doing so, primarily carries out intensive surveillance in order to detect early tumors among people at risk for hereditary cancer and proposes, in certain cases, surgical prevention measures or with drugs.

The director of the Oncology Institute, Carlos Ferrer, explained that genetic studies manage to improve the prognosis for positive cases, at the time posed a reassurance to those absolute negative cases.

The most common queries relate to hereditary colon cancer polipósico, breast cancer and hereditary ovarian and polyposis adematosa family, which correspond to the most frequent pathologies among those that have a potentially treatable genetic component.

Multidisciplinary unit

The unit is composed of a multidisciplinary team of health professionals specialized and trained in this area as an oncologist, a nurse and a psychologist that offers support to the emotional impact suffered by a person who knows that it has a risk of developing cancer quite higher than the general population of their age.
Medical specialists and primary care can refer to the unit to people who meet very defined selection criteria and that three or more members of a same family submitted the same type of tumor or early age at the diagnosis.

Colombian Academy of critical care medicine and Fresenius Medical Care promote education to prevent kidney failure in patients of care critic.

– according to statistics of the Colombian Academy of critical care medicine of each 1000 patients arriving at a care centre for emergencies are hospitalizados100, of these, 10 are referred to intensive care and 3 develop failure kidney.

-A patient with renal failure you cuasta to more than 1,200,000 per month health system

Bogota, 2011-September on 14 and 15 September at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Bogotá are expected more than 300 attendees, doctors and nurses, intensivistas, Nephrologists, and health professionals in generalfor the Symposium on critical care Nephrology membership is totally free.

The central theme of this symposium is aimed at acute renal patient treatments in dialysis and prevention of the illness in intensive care since training to professionals in the health care that must be patients in critical condition to avoid renal failure, can reduce not only the disease rates but costs produced by each patient Kidney which is of approximately 1´200.000.

The event will feature speakers international specialists in these subjects as Dr. John Alston Kellum, Intensivist, current Professor of critical care medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. José divine of Brazil, nephrologist and scientist of the Sweden Karolinska Institute, the University institution of high education in medicine largest worldwide and the DRA. Elizabeth Maccariello of Brazil, nefróloga, current Professor of services Renales of the University of Rio of Janeiro – UERJ.

Fresenius Medical Care and the Colombian Academy of critical care medicine promote academic events in order to update the knowledge to be then multiplied in the areas of application.

From the year 2009 Fresenius Medical Care, German company specialist in the treatment of dialysis with presence since 15 years in Colombia, in the company of the Academy Colombian of critical care medicine, has been concerned by informing professionals in the health of our country updates in Nephrology advanced in the world.

They say risk of violence between Indians and peasants loyal to Morales

|

La Paz, 11 sep (EFE).-human rights organizations and leaders of the ethnic groups in Bolivia today warned about the risk of a violent clash between the indigenous peoples that they star in a protest March in the Amazon and the President of the country, Evo Morales, followers peasants blocking them the passage.

“The risk of a confrontation, unfortunately, is imminent”, EfE today the President of the private Permanent Assembly of human rights, Yolanda Herrera, whose institution gives humanitarian assistance to the indigenous March which rejects the decision to Morales to build a road through a park natural.

Indians, who began their walk in the Amazon region the past August 15 are in the community “The ambushed”, 25 km from the village of Yucumo, where peasant groups supporting the Government blocked a road to stop the March.

Herrera remarked that there is “a scenario of high level of concern” and the Prosecutor’s offices of the departments of La Paz and Beni (northeast) sent prosecutors Yucumo to avoid “that ignites a spark that causes a disaster” in the coming hours

Government (Interior) Ministry moved to the region hundreds of police officers, and representatives of the Office of the Ombudsman have also traveled to the area, located about 250 kilometers northeast of La Paz, to avoid possible clashes.

Indigenous peoples are opposed to the construction of over 300 km road funded by Brazil that will cross the territory Indígena Parque Nacional Isiboro Sécure (Tipnis) for the environmental damage that it will cause and because they are afraid to promote the invasion of the area of the producers of coca, base to manufacture cocaine.

The Guarani indigenous leader Celso Padilla told reporters that if farmers blocking the way provoke them and offend them, be they would defend, and insisted that the Government will be responsible for what happens because pro-Government leaders organized the blockade.

Rafael Quispe Aymara requested, through the press, that United Nations and the people’s advocate are present in Yucumo when it comes to the indigenous in the next few hours March

“Are not mice to fall into the trap we want to aim at Yucumo, why we want that the seers are our guarantors”, Quispe told the daily La reason.

Blockers in Yucumo, René Huasco, peasants leader today, called by radio Erbol, at that location arising a new meeting between the Government and the ethnic groups to settle the dispute through dialogue.

Ministers of Morales and indigenous leaders have tried six times negotiate but they reached no results, because Morales maintained their decision to make the road in the Tipnis.

The Minister of the Presidency, Carlos Romero, told state media that he hoped that there will be no confrontation because, in its discretion, Yucumo villagers try to support dialogue, although he stressed the preventive presence of police forces. EFE

Scientists find new clues about the genetic origin of hypertension

|

(Embargada_hasta_las_17:00_hora_GMT)

Madrid, 11 sep (EFE).-an international group of researchers, which involves Spanish scientists, has identified 16 new genetic characteristics associated with the risk of hypertension in population of origin European.

The results of this research are published in two separate articles in the journals Nature and Nature Genetics.

These 16 new genetic traits are joining 13 others already known.

“Have been identified 16 new DNA zones associated with a greater chance of presenting figures high blood pressure, so that we know at present 29 associated with this disease,” recounts Roberto Elosua and Gavin Lucas, of the research group on epidemiology and cardiovascular genetics of the Institute’s Research Hospital del Mar (IMIM), in Barcelona.

The effect of each of these “risk characteristics” is very small, but the risk increases as to accumulate these variants genetic in a person.

29 Genetic variants known so far are in turn related to the risk of developing ventricular hypertrophy (cardiac disease consisting of an increase in the thickness of the heart muscle), stroke or cerebral accident and myocardial infarction.

Greater number of these genetic features of risk of hypertension, more likely to have stroke and myocardial infarction, according to researchers from two separate studies.

However, scientists claim that one of the “most striking results” is that these variants are not associated with the presence of renal failure, “suggesting that hypertension is a result but not a cause of renal pathology”.

Hypertension is a chronic disease characterized by an increase in continuous blood in the arteries, pressure recalls the Catalan in a press note Institute

Is known that genetic factors explain a “significant” part of the risk of hypertension, that is why, according to the IMIM, “many efforts” are investing to identify genetic characteristics linked to this pathology.

To carry out these works, which opens the door to research on new therapeutic targets for the control of hypertension, has analyzed more than 200,000 people. EFE
