For that reason, the Galician Association of sports medicine has focused 21st days per year, held the last weekend in Sarria (Lugo), diseases of the locomotor apparatus and, in particular, in risks that have athletes suffering from diseases such as osteoarthritis.

Arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory and degenerative locomotor disease due to wear and tear of the joints. In the case of high level athletes, osteoarthritis appears especially in hip and knee, as a result of repeated use and injuries.

In particular, 29 per cent of the professional footballers at risk of developing arthrosis of knee, compared to 3% of players not of elite.

Dr. José María Villalón, specialist in medicine of physical education and sport and head of the medical services of the Atlético de Madrid, has explained that osteoarthritis in professional football players often occur because of injuries. “ There is a significant risk of suffering from arthritis to the receiving repeated or serious blows to the joint. But even children who make sport under pressure may suffer injury of cartilage in the future can evolve to arthrosis. ”, emphasizes Dr. Villalón.

Given the growing concern in this regard, current sports medicine arises as main objective the prevention of injury condral (of articulation) as well as medical and surgical treatment. Cartilage pathology prevention should start from childhood through rules and tips to follow.

As outlined by Dr. Josep Vergés, specialist in clinical pharmacology and Medical Director and scientist of Pharma Bioiberica , “ the best way to treat a sports injury is to avoid it, so the chondroprotection is a term of extraordinary insight into the first decade of the 21st centuryWHO devoted to the study of prevention and treatment of Osteoarticular diseases ”.

Condroprotectores drugs (term meaning literally: protective drugs of cartilage) are acting drugs symptomatic slow (SYSADOA) that act directly on the three joint structures affected by osteoarthritis: articulating cartilage, synovial membrane, and the subcondral bone. They not only relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis, but it is proving that they have capacity to attack root disease, slowing down the degenerative process that takes place in the joints.

El CECOVA claimed the presence of school nurses in schools for auxiliary, assist and educate students diabetic.

la College Nursing Organization recalls that “ diabetic students enrolled in ordinary schools need control of blood glucose and insulin administration ”.

Valencia, November 2011- On the occasion of World Diabetes Day, the Working Group of nursing and health school (ENSE) of the Council of nursing of the Comunitat Valenciana (CECOVA) reported on Monday on the possible risks of people with diabetes and claimed the presence at all the schools of a school nurse for Assistanthelp and educate students, teachers and parents and mothers on the particularities of this chronic disease.

Thus, the school nurses of the CECOVA explained that there are two types of diabetes, the type I and type II. In diabetes type I, which is usually diagnosed in childhood and adolescence, there is little or no insulin and glucose builds up in the bloodstream and the body is unable to use it for energy. For its part, diabetes type II usually diagnosed in adulthood and there’s a problem in how the body uses insulin, which is necessary for the blood sugar enter cells so that it is stored and later used as energy. Diabetes type II there is a resistance to insulin and glucose does not fit into the cells and not obtained energy.

Schoolchildren overweight

The ENSE group of the CECOVA indicated that the majority of patients suffering from type II diabetes suffer from obesity, and in this regard, we must not forget that more children are schoolchildren with overweight problems that may develop this disease of adults with a school nurse that educate children and parents which is important.

For this reason, is considered very important of of nursing professionals in school work to prevent such diseases and detect potential health problems in an early age. In this regard, school nurses of the CECOVA remember that if lifestyle habits are changed by others more healthy we can prevent a host of diseases in adulthood.

Thus, the Working Group of the CECOVA ENSE claimed the continued presence of a school nurse in every school to educate in health throughout the educational community (Faculty, students, and mothers and fathers) to acquire healthy lifestyle habits that facilitate the prevention of disease.

In addition, in the specific topic of diabetes, school nurses remind that a diabetic child should know and know when you have high or low levels of glucose in the blood, which foods are healthy, know administered insulin, in addition to knowing that working out how to live healthy and control your blood sugar levels.

Needs of diabetic students

In this sense, diabetic students enrolled in regular schools need controls blood sugar and the insulin administration at different times of the school day, and therefore go a nurse at a given moment from the health center closest to the school is only a patch, which, in any caseIt is functional, because we can not plan when an epileptic boy will suffer a comicial crisis or when a diabetic girl descompensará your blood sugar levels.

In addition, it should be recalled that the continued presence of professionals in nursing school at the schools would also deploy an extensive and important work of early detection and prevention of health problems more prevalent among children and young people, such aschildhood obesity or eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia.

In this regard, the Working Group of the CECOVA ENSE recalls that the ideal place to make an effective promotion and health education are colleges and institutes, being the early ages of life which have shown more suitable for this.

More than half of the diabetic type 2 has no proper of disease control

-Almirall presents the preliminary findings of the study DIABCONTROL to know the degree of glycemic control in patients with diabetes type 2 in Spain

– in the Studio, with the endorsement of the Spanish society of Diabetes (thirst) and the Spanish society of physicians in primary care (SEMERGEN), they have participated so far close to 1,100 researchers and more than 3,000 patients

-diabetes affects 13.8 per cent of the adult population in Spain

Barcelona, November 2011- more than half of patients with type 2 diabetes does not have adequate control of the disease despite being diagnosed and treated pharmacologically. This is one of the main preliminary findings of the study DIABCONTROL, promoted by Almirall, to know the degree of control of type 2 diabetes, measured by hemoglobin glycosylated (HbA1c) in patients treated in primary care (PA), well as the control of cardiovascular risk factors.

“ DIABCONTROL study gives us an x-ray representative and valid for the status of these patients in Spain, because it is the first time that is measured by hemoglobin glicada with the same method, standardized internationally, in all centres ”, points out Dr. Antonio Pérez, Endocrinology and nutrition service(, Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona), and one of the coordinators of this project. “ The results show that patients who gained weight and those who have suffered some episode of hypoglycemia in the last year have worse glycemic control ”, adds.

For Dr. José Javier Mediavilla, from the Centre of Burgos Rural Health, Coordinator of the Group of Trabajo of Diabetes SEMERGEN and one of the coordinators of the study “ these data allow us to identify the problem as a whole and to know the degree of control, not only through glicada hemoglobin but also cardiovascular risk factors ”.

Main results of the study

The characteristics of the population studied in DIABCONTROL are representative of people with diabetes type 2 Spanish. The average age of the studied patients is 67-year-old obese most. The average time of evolution of type 2 diabetes is 9 years and more than 60% of patients treated with 2 or more drugs.

The main preliminary findings of the study include:

-more than 50% of patients have a poor glycemic control. These data confirm the findings of previous studies, but in this case the representativeness is greater, because it has been using the same method for the determination of hemoglobin glicada in all participants.

-patients who gained weight and those who have suffered some episode of hypoglycemia in the last year have worst control glycaemic.

-patients with worse glycemic control are those who have diabetes more evolved, valued by the time of evolution and the presence of complications, and those who receive a more complex hypoglycaemic therapy, especially treaties with insulin.

Methodology of the study

In the study, which so far has been valued at more than 3,000 patients, the inclusion of a total of 6.551 patients and to established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type 2, is planned and the participation of approximately 2,000 researchers from medical consultations of the whole Spanish AP. DIABCONTROL has the endorsement of the Spanish society of Diabetes (thirst) and the Spanish society of physicians in primary care (SEMERGEN).

To know the percentage of patients with diabetes type 2 and treatment drug anti-hyperglycaemic with blood sugar control system is used a multi-análisis of quantitative determination of the percentage of hemoglobin (HbA1c) glicada in capillary blood (A1c Now +). The sample is obtained with a small puncture in the finger and the reading time is five minutes. Glicada hemoglobin measurement has become a differential approach and control indispensable for practitioners that cater to patients with diabetes, as it does not require the patient to be on fasting and reflects blood glucose from a long period.

Each researcher reviews the medical histories of patients with diabetes type 2 candidates to participate in the study who come to the medical consultation of AP for any reason (not necessarily for glycaemic control) and, once obtained informed consent and after verifying that it meets the selection criteriato study patient data will be collected.

Diabetes in Spain
