– 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

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

Affordable mobile telephony could save the lives of women and poor children

|

London, 12 sep (EFE).-the low cost of mobile phones has enabled to develop health distance, programmes aimed at saving the lives of women and children without resources, in the third world countries, according to a study led by the UN.

The health of networks of mobile application is one of the creative endeavors of the report “Innovation for each woman and each child”, which today publishes the scientific journal “The Lancet” and has been promoted by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, and the Norwegian, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.

The text presents a series of “ideas that have been successful” in improving health care in developing countries for development, a goal that presents more challenges than ever before due to the global economic crisis, explained to Efe Tore Godal, Adviser special of Stoltenberg and a member of the Working Group of the UN has developed the report.

“Creativity is very important in a time of crisis.” “We need to find sustainable solutions for which we do not have to increase aid,” said Godal.

“Fascinating mobile is so the poor can acquire and use.” “Private companies can do business, and at the same time, it is a great opportunity to build better sanitation”, pointed.

Mobile telephony allows a medical care at a distance in areas of difficult access, but also facilitates the pedagogy in the field of health in populations that are not accustomed to go to the doctor.

One of the initiatives listed in the study is sending pregnant women of reminders that come to the hospital periodically via text.

More than 350,000 women die each year in developing countries due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth, and nearly three million children do not exceed the month of life, so Godal considered that this vulnerable population need improvements in systems of health.

“It is very important that mothers and children have access to health services both public and private,” said Godal, which highlighted the efforts of a chain of hospitals in the India who has managed to lower one-third the price that has to pay a mother to light.

“They are better organized and do everything possible to save to provide a good service at an affordable price.” “The poorest women still not can afford it, but those who can only afford $ 90”, explained the Chief of the first Minister Norwegian.

The UN Working Group has noted how initiatives promoted by private companies to improve the health of women have completed impacting positively on its results.

“The companies that distributed good health information among their employees who are pregnant, for example, notice how reduce absenteeism,” described Godal. EFE
