Between 25 40% of the population has an episode of anxiety throughout his life.

between 25-40% of the population has an episode of anxiety throughout his life.

VIII meeting annual of the society Basque-Navarre of Psychiatry.

• Anxiety disorders involve a huge social burden of disability and social cost

• 70-80% of young people with anti-social behaviour, suicide attempts, violent behaviors or drug abuse disorders suffer from disorders limit personality.

• Linked to family and work stress and anxiety are more concern to the scientific community.

• Becoming unemployed, the man enters in a free and competitive market for which it is not ready. In these cases it is usual that the male fall into a depression, suicide attempt, consumption of alcohol, violence and myocardial infarctions.

Bilbao, September 2009.- Stress is an experience of psychological instability as a response to external environmental factors. This disease is a source of pathology and produces a short, medium and long term impact. In addition, you can damage the brain at the molecular level and from there, extend their damage to the rest of the body. This is the starting point from which José Luis Carrasco, head of section of the service of Psychiatry and director of the Hospital Clínico San Carlos personality disorders unit, performs an analysis on the relationship of this with affection and the different types of personality of the individual.

This complex interplay is the breeding ground of borderline personality disorder, “ a pathology that occurs in 70-80% of young people with antisocial behaviors, suicide attempts, violent behaviors or substance abuse disorders. The origin of it is in internal dysfunctions of the affective and emotional balance, and how to integrate in an appropriate manner the experiences and information that is perceived in the environment, which ultimately can be defined as an emotional immaturity and relationship. These shortcomings lead to a loss of self-control, as well as the own sense of identity. These internal anomalies are the keys of the disorder and the aim to solve for the treatments that you pretend to be effective ”.

Anxiety disorders are psychiatric illness more prevalent among the general population. Indeed, between 25-40% of the population has an episode of anxiety throughout his life. Anxiety and stress appear as two sides of the same coin. “ Anxiety is the psychological aspect of stress and it is the somatic aspect, the biological side of anxiety. Typically, anxiety and/or stress allow the individual to interact with their environment, but when they become pathological can generate the individual suffering, disability to cope with everyday life and an increase in the risk of suicide and fall into addiction. In this regard, stress and anxiety linked to family and work are those that concern most ”, said José Luis Carrasco.

In the words of the expert, “ anxiety disorders involve a huge social burden in terms of disability and social costs, due inter alia to usually appear early (in adolescence), they are very persistent, they produce much suffering, demand an important social-health care, cause frequent off work, etc. ”

this issue in keeping with one of the major concerns of our time: the crisis. José Luis Carrasco understands that “ the crisis syndrome affects all branches of medicine, after various symptoms underlying anxiety and distress, whose origin is the uncertainty about the future ”.

The specialist distinguishes between “ two types of conditions. On the one hand of the individual who has not yet lost their jobs and is located in a more normal situation, whose main problems are dizziness, headaches, lack of sleep or appetite, and pain. On the other hand, are affected directly by the crisis, either by have lost work either because they are in a critical situation. In this case there is a basis of hopelessness that leads to symptoms of depression, despondency, tiredness or lack of interest ”.

Another issue the less funny is that this “ syndrome of the crisis ” affects more men than women. Some recent studies “ have shown that women and men react very differently to stressful situations and against him than previously thought, women are better prepared to deal with great social changes that are very stressful ”. The explanation for this is based on the personal reality of men, according to José Luis Carrasco. “ Becoming unemployed, comes in a free and competitive market and, in many cases, is not ready for that, it is unable to fight, having initiative or set up a small working. In these cases it is usual that the male fall into a depression, suicide attempt, consumption of alcohol, violence and myocardial infarctions ”.

The early intensive treatment of the rheumatoid arthritis can stop the progression of the disease.

the intensive early rheumatoid arthritis treatment can halt the progression of the disease.

On 1 October is celebrated the day national of arthritis Rheumatoid.

-The Spanish society of Rheumatology (be) has developed a consensus on biological therapies in rheumatoid arthritis that updated the guidelines before this disease with these innovative drugs

-the combination of methotrexate with biological agents such as the anti-TNF (tumour necrosis factor inhibitors) since the earlier possible are the most desirable treatment

-present There are no data to suggest that an anti-TNF is superior to another, so the choice depends on both the criterion of the doctor and the particular circumstances of the patient

-the complete healing of rheumatoid arthritis is an utopia at the present time. On the other hand, only 40-50% of patients achieved remission of the disease

Madrid, September 2009.- rheumatoid arthritis cure is today still a utopia despite the strides that recent years have taken place in the treatment of this disease. For this reason, and in order to be able to reach the remission of the rheumatic condition as soon as possible, the rheumatologists recommend an early intensive treatment with current therapies.

Thus indicates it consensus on biological agents which has produced the Spanish Rheumatology society (be), and updated the guidelines indicated in the last consensus made in 2006.

Rheumatoid arthritis affects already in our country more than 250,000 people, which means that it is suffering around 0.5% of the adult population in Spanish. It’s a progressive inflammatory disease which damaged joints, which makes the patient gradually lose functionality, and therefore see seriously reduced their quality of life.

The most prominent novelties of this consensus indicate that the best treatment for the rheumatic condition is a combination of drug disease (FAME) such as methotrexate – standard therapy for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis – with biological agents such as the anti-TNF (tumour necrosis factor inhibitors) from the earlier time possible.

On the other hand, this document also indicates that the most optimal result is needed to achieve access to specialized treatment, something that can be achieved through units of rheumatoid arthritis early, put in place by the Spanish society of Rheumatology, and available now in various hospitals.

The objective of addressing the disease from the earliest stages is achieved remission or lesser degree of activity of the same, according to the panel of experts of the being that he has participated in the development of this consensus.

What are biological therapies?

Biological therapies – designed to ensure that they act on a specific therapeutic target – have made a breakthrough in the treatment and control of the progression of rheumatoid arthritis, what he has done that specialists have even changed the therapeutic strategy.

But despite the progress that these new drugs have been, we must bear in mind that still do not get an optimal response in more than 40-50% of patients, that they cease to be effective over time.

On the other hand, due to the first step in the treatment of the disease due do with FAMEs, specialists advise to integrate them into a comprehensive therapeutic strategy of pathology. Thus, this consensus indicates that therapy that more must be taken into account in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis remain FAMEs as methotrexate and the leflunomida.

Early with anti-TNF treatment

There are currently seven biological agents aimed at the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, three of them are anti-TNF and four others aimed at specific therapeutic targets with an important role in the disease process. Different studies have shown that the anti – TNF are superior to methotrexate monotherapy and in controlled studies have been makes early treatment with this type of biological agents that it can reach a lasting remission.

Given that there are no data to indicate that an anti-TNF is superior to another, this consensus developed by SER indicates that the three types of drugs are necessary, but not substitutable between themselves, as well as the choice depends on both the criterion of the doctor and the patient’s particular circumstances. Though as they have different structures and mechanisms of action, the lack of response to one of them does not imply that the rest will be ineffective.

This document makes very clear that the use of a biological agent must be accompanied at the outset of a FAME, and will only be used as sole therapy initial in extraordinary cases. In this way, these biological therapies is only administered in monotherapy in patients where this first treatment has failed the therapeutic goal.

Detailed tracking

The use of this type of biological drugs requires, as it indicates this consensus, of a regular assessment of the evolution of the patient, which should be reduced to 3 months if not get the expected objectives or increase to 6 If the evolution is positive.

The consensus places great emphasis on not combine two biological drugs, they are of the type that are. This contraindication is because that increases the risk of the patient to develop infections while there is a clear advantage in its effectiveness.

In the same way, it also insists on not opt for this type of therapy in patients with active infections or with a history of them, as well as those who suffer from tuberculosis or which are in contact with people who suffer from this disease.

Spanish society of Rheumatology (be).

The Spanish Rheumatology society (be) is a scientific association which aims to promote the study of rheumatic diseases – diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue – for the benefit of patients and to address problems related to the specialty. SER currently represents nearly 1,500 professionals in Spain and maintains contact with regional societies of Rheumatology from across the country. SER develops work, studies and research projects in rheumatology by the Spanish Foundation of Rheumatology (FER) and provides support to patients of rheumatic diseases through his relationship with associations comprising mainly patients as the LIRE (Rheumatology Spanish League)CONFEPAR (Confederation of patients Reumáticos), ConArtritis (national coordinator of arthritis) or the Spanish Forum of patients.
