severe pain is the major cause of absenteeism labour.

study on the impact of pain in life labor.

-A recent article promoted by PAIN CHANGE analyzes the relationship between pain and labor framework based on three dimensions: membership of the employed population, the decline in performance in the workplace and absence from work through the analysis of data derived from the survey “ National Health and Wellness Survey ” of Kantar Health.

-is the first time that accurate data on the influence that has pain in the Spanish work habits are known

– according to this article, one in five Spanish with severe pain may not work for this cause

-patients with severe pain are reduced his work performance up to six times more than workers who do not suffer

-connection to absence from work, people with daily pain are absent up to 16 times its working

-article “ The association of pain with work force participation, absenteeism, presenteeism in Spain and ”, which includes the analysis of data from the online study “ National Health and Wellness Survey ”, has been published in the December issue of the journal “ Journal of Medical Economics ”. On the website of CHANGE PAIN ( www.changepain.org ) see the abstract of that article in the section of “ studies CHANGE PAIN ”

-this study concludes that pain is the main reason for absenteeism than other disorders such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease

Spain, January 2012- CHANGE PAIN makes available to the scientific community this publication on the relationship between the intensity and frequency of the pain and the work of the Spaniards, taking into account three factors: participation in the labour market, the decline in performance in the workplace and work absenteeism.

According to the conclusions drawn from this study, severe pain is positioned as the main reason for absenteeism than other disorders such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

According to Dr. Miguel Angel Ruiz Iban, the service of trauma and orthopaedic surgery at the Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal, “ this study allows us, for the first time to obtain precise data on the influence that has pain in the Spanish work habits and work in Spain. This gives the opportunity to specialists to know the real impact of pain on labour ”.

With regard to participation in the labour market, one in five Spanish who suffer from severe pain may not work because of this pain, forcing many of them to be excluded from the labour market. Among those who suffer this type of pain and that work, there is a higher percentage making it on time partial, if pain prevents them from working full-time. In addition, rare are those who work as self-employed.

On the other hand, Dr. Ruiz Ibán points out that “ the current economic situation makes that persons suffering from pain of mild to moderate form continue to maintain a similar to the general activity, for fear of losing his job ”. This circumstance could lead to an increase of presenteeism in the workplace, its performance to be less because of pain.

in fact, analyzing the data regarding the presence in the workplace with a low yield, concludes that people with severe pain reduced his work performance 6 times more than people who suffer no pain or suffer you from mild form to moderate.

Also, statistics concerning absenteeism provide the most revealing data. People with daily pain are absent from their jobs up to 16 times more than the rest of respondents.

This study is part of others promoted by CHANGE PAIN in order to raise the health community and society in general medical needs still unmet in the approach of severe chronic pain. According to the conclusions of the same, the pain has a big impact in all aspects of the labour market, since access to the quality of their work, “ which reinforces the importance of its adequate boarding and treatment in order to improve the quality of life, both as working personally, of the patient ”, emphasizes Dr. Miguel Ángel Ruiz Iban.

El Torrejón Hospital expands its portfolio with the new unit of Medicine of the dream.

high-resolution consultations to deal with the locals in the Henares corridor. sleep disorders

-its objective is to provide effective and quick solutions of patients with sleep disorders

-The new drive involves ten professionals in neurology, pneumology, ENT, Maxillofacial and Pediatrics

Madrid, January 2012- the Hospital of Torrejón, belonging to the public network of hospitals in the community of Madrid, expands its portfolio of services with the launch in place of the sleep medicine unitwhich has as objective the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. The new unit brings together ten specialists services in neurology, neurophysiology, pneumology, otolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery and Pediatrics as well as a specialized nursing team and is coordinated by Dr. Miguel Angel Saiz Sepúlveda, neurophysiologist at the Hospital.

“ Part of the compromise that we have with the citizens of the Henares corridor to bring them the care they need. The new unit will work elbow with elbow with primary health care centres to provide quick and effective solutions to their problems for patients ”, explains Ignacio Martinez Jover, managing director of the Hospital de Torrejón.

Sleep disorders can affect anyone, regardless of their sex or age, although they appear most frequently in two groups: respiratory disorders are more common in males aged more than 45 years and insomnia in women over age 50.

The new unit of Medicine of the dream, the Torrejon Hospital launches in its fourth month of activity, provides circuits diagnostic and therapeutic for patients suspected of suffering from some sort of sleep disorder can obtain a solution custom in the fastest possible way.

The therapeutic range is very wide and various alternatives are decided according to the characteristics of each patient. In some cases performance will be related to the modification of some of their habits, within the programme of education for health.

In other cases, patients will require ventilatory therapy or pharmacological therapies to mitigate their pathology and we can even consider a surgical for some groups of patients approach, as it is the case of children. This surgical approach has shown excellent results in recent years and is perfectly safe.

Communication with primary

The hospital maintains direct communication channels with primary care, allowing those patients whose diagnoses tables do suspect a sleep disorder are arising rapidly to the hospital, where we make the diagnosis, and mobilize the personalised treatment for each patient. The vast majority of cases are solved with ventilatory therapy, which allow patients to recover their health and their quality of life in an almost immediate way, noticeable improvement from the first day of treatment.

The new provision of the Torrejon Hospital has a technology budget of first level to obtain the most accurate and rapid diagnosis: Polisomnógrafo, polygraph, Pulsioxímetro, Actígrafo. The spirit of the unit fits perfectly with the philosophy of high resolution that the hospital has become his hallmark for the attention of the citizens of the Henares corridor. Diagnostic technology that has been incorporated in the Hospital of Torrejon allows test takes place in the home of the patient, which prevents this spend a night in the hospital. These teams are designed so that the patient can manipulate them with simple instructions that we have provided at the hospital. I.e. trying to carrying out the tests to have the minimum possible impact on the daily life of people.

A hospital of the 21st century

Activity in the Centre began on September 22 and the Corredor del Henares citizens already enjoyed a new hospital near their homes that saves them unnecessary and uncomfortable travel. The new Center has 250 beds in single rooms and a wide portfolio of services capable of assuming 95 percent of the health care needs of patients of the Henares corridor. The Center’s services include its 20 posts of hospitalization day, 10 operating theaters, 16 posts of dialysis, 6 dislodgement, 83 posts of ER, 89 queries and cabinets, 5 digital systems of Radiology, 10 scanners, 2 CT multislice and magnetic resonance imaging of last generation.

The WTO considered that DKMS actions jeopardize the model of the Ont.

Spain, January 2012.- the Organization Medical College (WTO) considered that the activities of the German company Deutsche Knochenmarkspendedatei gemeinnützige Gesellschaft mbH (DKMS), dedicated to the irregular recruitment of donors of bone marrow and marketing of this type of tissue, are endangering the model of the national transplant organisation

For the WTO, the situation created by DKMS alters the order established for the needs of patients and puts at risk the fairness with which all are treated in the SNS.

It is unacceptable that, for reasons of interest of a German company, be put at risk the ONT that over 22 years of activity has been and is on transplantation model in all over the world and an example of cutting-edge medicine, based on solidarity and involvement of all health care professionals. It is unacceptable, therefore, that DKMS violates this structure and more unacceptable, to do so for economic reasons. With claims of DKMS, desmontaría the structure underlying the ONT.

A gross negligence would be does not preserve a system that has shown that it works and is also a world reference. It is necessary to maintain its structure and avoid danger, under any circumstances, this fair and efficient model of donations.

It is surprising that DKMS representatives have argued today, press conference, serving not-for-profit, when it is a private company.

Therefore, the WTO alert to medical professionals and patients that, under any circumstances, collaborate in endangering the national model of transplants.

On Monday, the Ministry of health, Social policy is equality and the national organization of transplant (ONT) alerted patients and professionals of irregular abstractions of donors of bone marrow by the German company Deutsche Knochenmarkspendedatei gemeinnützige Gesellschaft mbH (DKMS), dedicated to the management of this type of human tissues. This complaint was joined Foundation José Carreras – registration Spanish of donors of bone marrow (REDMO).

Given the situation, the General Secretariat of health raised a query to the lawyer of the State to adopt appropriate measures and today the Ministry of health, social services and equality announced that you last a regulation to establish a single and record public donor of bone marrow in Spain so that in our country only donations can proceed according to the criteria of solidarity, equity and universal access and avoid possible interference of economic interests.

El General de Castelló held a workshop for endoscopy with models anatomical.

– is aimed at resident doctors, Assistant doctors, nurses and assistants of the endoscopy unit

-In the workshop were instructed in the placement of prosthesis or esophageal dilation balls, among other advanced techniques

Castellón, January 2012- the digestive Endoscopy Unit of the Hospital General de Castelló has organized a workshop with anatomical models for physicians in training, Assistant doctors, nurses and assistants.

Activity, organized by physicians Dr. Colom and Dr. Martin, consisted in that health professionals can practise advanced endoscopy, which involve technical difficulties and techniques of management in patients with an artificial anatomical model that simulates the inside of the human body.

The most advanced techniques, that only certain endoscopistas are capable of and that health professionals can practice, include the placement of prosthesis, esophageal, colorectal and Enteral.

The inclusion of the prosthesis is made by endoscopic control through a thread Guide, which introduces after delaying the narrowing of the digestive tract. Thus, at the point of occlusion, prosthesis is released so that it expands spontaneously, causing a strain in the area and being embedded within the body.

In addition, attendees at the workshop have able to practice with latest generation materials, carrying out practices with bands for esophageal varices, sclerotherapy needle, hemoclips, metal stents and balloons of dilation, among others.

Reward research work in cardiology of the Hospital Puerta de iron.

the Royal National Academy of medicine.

Рthe award Dr Carde̱osa is awarded for the best article in cardiology published a Spanish doctor

– work had been done in collaboration with professionals from various services of the hospital

Spain, January 2012.- article “ Desmosomal protein gene mutations in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy undergoing cardiac transplantation: to clinicopathological study. ”, published in the journal Heart by Dr. Pablo García-Pavia, Coordinator of the unit of cardiomyopathies in the service of Cardiology of the Hospital Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, has been awarded the prize Doctor Cardeñosa of the Royal National Academy of medicine.

Cardeñosa Doctor Award is awarded to the best article in cardiology published a Spanish doctor throughout 2011. Dr. García-Pavia has picked up on Tuesday this award during the solemn session of opening of the current academic of the Royal National Academy of medicine.

Award-winning work studied the prevalence of mutations in the genes desmosómicos among transplant patients of heart for idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The study included 89 patients transplanted by MCD and determined that a significant proportion of them had mutations in the genes that encode for proteins of cardiac desmosome. The work has been in collaboration with members of the services of Cardiology, biochemistry, Immunology and pathological anatomy of the Hospital Puerta de Hierro and the unity of family heart of University College London.

Although more than 25 years it is known that the MDC has a genetic basis in many cases, the incorporation of genetic studies on the practice has been heavily limited by the low profitability of the study of genes associated with this disease have been described to date. The results of the award-winning work suggest that the analysis of desmosómicos in patients with DCM genes, can improve significantly the efficiency of genetic studies in these patients.

Very few works had analyzed the genetic characteristics of transplanted patients of heart beforehand. This study is the more widely studied cardiac transplant patients cohort genetically described to date includes histological analysis of explantados hearts and presented an extensive family study histological findings and family study allow to know relevant data in the MCD caused by mutations desmosómicas and raise important questions about the histological and genetic diagnostic criteria of the Arritmogénica right ventricle, another cardiomyopathy also caused by mutations in the genes desmosómicos and much more uncommon cardiomyopathy.

more than 600 patients have already been seen in this unit

the unity of cardiomyopathies in the Hospital Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda is a multidisciplinary unit attends to patients suffering from these diseases and are submitted for all Spain. In her work in a coordinated manner cardiologists, nurses, surgeons, paediatricians and biochemists to meet the needs of the afflicted families of these pathologies from all points of view.

This Unit coordinates genetic studies for patients and families requiring it in such a way that in the past 2 years more than 600 people have been subjected to these tests in the Center
