femtosecond laser will be the future of falls, according to ophthalmologists surgery

-cataract surgery has more than 40 years operating with the method of ultrasonic phacoemulsification

-El doctor Laureano Ãlvarez-RementerÃa held a live surgery in the 14th edition of the Congress of OftalmologEd

Elche (Alicante), February 2012.- femtosecond lasers will be the future of cataract surgery, with the manual technique for phacoemulsification ultrasonic, 40 years, according to ophthalmologists meeting until Saturday at FacoElche 2012 has been using. New technology is safe and effective, as most of the steps are performed automatically, “without depending on the skill of the surgeon”, according to the doctor Laureano Ãlvarez-RementerÃa, one of the pioneers of this in Spain cataract surgery, and perform a live operation during the Congress.

A study of the Asian Eye Institute (Philippines) published in the latest issue of the journal Current Opinion of Oftalmology ensures that “femtosecond surgery offers some advantages over the traditional of phacoemulsification” and “cataract procedure offers safer results”. Another study carried out by the Department of Ophthalmology of the University of Utha (USA) and published last November indicates that “initial investigations show an improvement in the fragmentation of the nucleus, the incision in the cornea and the circular incision of the capsule that surrounds the waterfall”. In addition, “the data collected so far reveal advantages of security and effective against the traditional method”, according to the authors of the study.

Ultrasonic technique all the steps are manual, so that “results may vary”, explains Dr. Ãlvarez-RementerÃa, he has done in the past two months the first cataract operations with laser femtosecond in Madrid. On the other hand, this laser, “much of the intervention is guided automatically and accurately by computer in real time”. It is reduced, thus, the possibility that the lens is not focused entirely, “as many people intercepted with the conventional technique, causing halos or stains on the vision,” confesses.

Fast recovery

Another advantage of the intervention with the new laser, according to Dr. Ãlvarez-RementerÃa, is that it is painless, of short duration (about 15-20 minutes) and much faster recovery than with the previous procedure: “the patient goes home watching blurry””, but visual recovery does not take place in days, as it was the case at this time, but within hours”. Femtosecond scanning laser lens surface and inside and, through infrared waves, and in a millionth of a second, creates a bubble of air that separates molecules of the lens without cutting or burning any tissue. Thus, it does not damage any adjacent cell.

For the director of FacoElche, Dr. Fernando Soler, “it’s a matter of time that the femtosecond laser replaces phacoemulsification by ultrasound, as it is already happening in other types of interventions, such as presbyopia and myopia, with other types of femtosecond laser”.

The 14th edition of FacoElche brings together more than 600 ophthalmologists of Spain and the rest of the world, and it used the most modern tools of the Internet to publicize the latest advances in technology and medical research applied to eye surgery.

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world. It affects half of those over 65 years but is a natural process, progressive opacity of the lens, which begins to manifest itself after 45-50 years, with the eye strain (presbyopia), and that “just suffering around the world with age”, says Dr. Soler. It is a common cause of costing well define the image of night and that glasses or contact lenses stop being useful.

About 10% of the over 60 Spanish suffers from the disease of the showcases

nearly 10% of the over 60 Spanish suffers from the disease of the Windows

-Peripheral arterial disease, popularly known as the disease of shop Windows, affects nearly one million people in Spain, most of whom are men

-this pathology, infradiagnosticada in the majority of cases through lack of symptoms, is mainly caused by atherosclerosis and can detect to feel the need to stop the step continuously to recover from severe muscle pain legs, specifically located in the calf or thigh

-this degenerative disease is an indicator of risk of ischemic heart disease and can limit the quality of life of those who suffer from, depending on the stadium in which they find themselves, to cause the amputation of a member or even death much

-La Spanish Heart Foundation (CSF) recommended to those suffering the disease of the showcases to control risk factors that cause (smoking, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diabetes and physical inactivity); to keep the foot care, avoiding injuries and infections; and to raise the headboard of the bed to improve circulation

Madrid, February 2012.- the Spanish Heart Foundation (FEC) reports that approximately one in ten over 60 Spanish suffers from peripheral arterial disease, commonly known as the disease of the showcases. Of the nearly one million people who suffer from, the vast majority are men. This is because women are more protected from atherosclerosis, the main cause of the disease. In addition, feminists presented at these ages, lower than those of men smoking figures, thereby reducing their risk.

This disease, caused by the lack of oxygenation of the lower limbs, is an indicator of risk of ischemic heart disease. “ The increase in the risk of ischemic heart disease depends on age and other factors, but can be multiplied by two or three if it suffers from peripheral arterial disease ”, explains Dr. Manuel MartÃnez Selles, President of the section of Cardiology geriatric the society Spanish of Cardiology (SEC).

Lack of knowledge of the symptoms of the disease of the showcases is very common, doing that in the majority of cases is it diagnosed when the disease is in an advanced stage.

Symptoms of the disease of the Windows

Patients who suffer from tend to perceive a symptom called intermittent claudication, characterized by intense muscle pain in the legs, usually in the region of the calf or thigh, which is triggered when walking or physical exercise, and improving only to stop the activity and stop completely, for examplelooking at a showcase.

Some patients, in addition to this pain, feel cramps, numbness and muscle tiredness sensation, confusing usually by bone pain associated with age.

It is a disease that evolves in such a way that there are different degrees of claudication, being able to get to be a disabling pathology, in advanced stages, symptoms appear even at rest, and can form ulcers, gangrenes, necessity of amputation or even causing death.

To define the severity of the disease, you must measure the distance traveled from the moment in which begins to make the activity until the pain, forcing the patient to stop. There are five stages of the disease (clinical stages of Fontaine):

-I patient asymptomatic or symptoms
-II-not disabling intermittent claudication (150 m).
-II b disabling intermittent claudication (less than 150 meters)
-III pain at rest
-IV ischemia serious with trophic lesions (ulceration and gangrene)

“ to carry out appropriate treatment and prevention, early diagnosis is essential. For this reason, it is important to consult with a specialist as soon as symptoms appear. The diagnosis is based precisely on the typical symptom of pain in the twin zone walking, which subsides with rest, and relies on the physical examination to detect some arterial pulse weak or absent ”, points out Dr. Martinez Selles.

Recommendations of the FEC to prevent disease in the Windows

-To avoid this condition, it is essential to control the risk factors that cause. The CSF suggests: the analysed cessation, physical exercise on a regular basis, and control of the levels of cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure

-at the same time, is essential foot care, since any trauma or infection can worsen the disease

– in some cases, it may be indicated raise the headboard of the bed to promote the movement

in case of disease, the specialist may recommend to fight it with antiplatelet agents (acetylsalicylic acid type) or with drugs to reduce cholesterol as the statins. If it is necessary to have recourse to an invasive therapy, there are two options: percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, which consists of introducing a catheter into the artery and inflating a balloon to unblock her, or playing bridge or arterial bypass, surgery by reducing blood flow to the distal portion of the blockage using a graft, either synthetic or using a vein of the patient.

The SEC and the FEC

The Spanish society of Cardiology (SEC) and the Spanish Heart Foundation (CSF) are an organization whose vital impetus is to ensure the cardiovascular health of the population through clinical and research, as well as educational and informative excellence. Both entities have become the benchmark in Castilian in the fight against cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in our country.

The SEC has more than 4,000 members, among cardiologists and professionals related to cardiovascular diseases, from European, Latin American and international Spanish.

The FEC has more than 4,000 members, including SEC cardiologists, professional nursing in cardiology, associations of patients, private entities and private partners.

Cardiac patients are unaware that their erection problems and cardiovascular have the same cause.

Cardiac patients are unaware that their erection problems and cardiovascular have the same cause

The campaign ‘for you, for me,’ sex with heart pointed out that Spanish heart patients are unaware of, or still do not have clear, the relationship between erection problems and its cardiovascular disease.

Thus reflects it a survey of 595 men after attending one of the conferences given throughout 2011, mainly between members of coronary patients associations. 61.3% Of respondents – male, about 60 years and married – responded that he knew or thought that he had erectile dysfunction (), but to ask them cause 49% said that it knew them as they explained at the Conference. Even, 22.6% acknowledged that he knew what was before the chat.

For this reason, from the Spanish Heart Foundation (CSF), the Foundation for research in Urology (FIU) and the Spanish society of physicians in primary care (SEMERGEN), entities that along with Lilly launched the initiative, consider reached the objective set of raising awareness of the consequences of cardiovascular disease in the sexual sphere.

“We consider that we have achieved our goal of awareness and outreach through conferences, educational materials distributed among patients and made dissemination of the relationship between heart problems and sexual relations,” explains the President of the FEC, Dr. Leandro Plaza.
Common risk factors

Erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease share risk factors, including high blood pressure, the atherosclerosis, obesity, tobacco or alcohol. Thus, two of every three men with high blood pressure have erectile dysfunction, and more than half of those who have erectile dysfunction has high cholesterol, Coronary lesions (40% has relevant coronary occlusions) and altered stress test.

“In almost all patients, erectile dysfunction appears in an average of two to three years before the onset of coronary artery disease,” says the President of the FIU, Dr. Jesus CastiÃ±eiras. “For this reason we recommend that a patient with erectile dysfunction be asked about your heart health and cardiovascular risk factors”, adds.

Erectile dysfunction, in its different levels comes to affect 40% of men older than 40 years. It is for this reason that the first performance must be addressed to improve the patient’s life style, eating a healthy diet low in fats, reducing alcohol consumption, avoiding tobacco, losing weight and increasing physical activity. “Because preventing cardiovascular risk factors will improve blood flow during erection, contributing to their sexual health,” says Dr. CastiÃ±eiras.

The majority of respondents, 89.5%, believes that sexual life, can recover after having erection problems while only 36% think that they will be able to have a satisfying relationship. “The issue of satisfaction and have a sex life of quality is important for patients,” explains the national coordinator of Sexology SEMERGEN, Dr. FroilÃ¡n SÃ¡nchez, group “because erectile dysfunction is not only for the patient a health problem, but also a loss of self-esteem and confidence which can lead to problems with your partner”.

A statement that ratify the respondents. 91% Said sex is quite or very important in his life. And if they suffer an erection problem, so they speak first with your partner with your doctor and, to a lesser extent, with a friend or with the pharmacist.

And if you have to choose the specialty, first chose primary care and, secondly, urology. However, although 50% not him it would be a problem to speak of her, 30% acknowledged that he would prefer not to do so by shame or modesty. “In many cases, the patient has first your erectile dysfunction problems to the primary care physician, because it is the nearest doctor.” But other times, we should be ourselves who say the conversation. “And in all cases should tell you that there is a solution and that can treat their pathology,” believes Dr. FroilÃ¡n SÃ¡nchez.

In this respect, the survey highlights that 61.3% of respondents who recognizes that he suffers or has symptoms of only 10% said that he was undergoing treatment. In other words, one in six patients is facing this health problem.
Sex after a cardiovascular episode

The influence of cardiovascular disease on sexual life is also especially evident at the time to resume intercourse after having suffered

More than 80% of cancers are related to lifestyles.

More than 80% of cancers are related to lifestyles.

many of these factors, especially related to personal habits and food, are preventable.

Madrid, February 2012. More than 80% of cancers are related to the lifestyles and personal habits, and many of these factors are easy to prevent and correct, according to Dr. Antonio Brugarolas, Director of the Oncology platform of the Hospital USP San Jaime and head of the second opinion consultation in Oncology at the Hospital USP San Camilo (Madrid). Cancer is caused by an alteration in the mechanism of regeneration of cells and their control mechanisms and, in its origin there is involved a large number of factors.

It is estimated that approximately 5% of the tumors have a genetic origin and that exposure to toxic agents at work may be behind 10% of cancers. The rest, 80-90% of tumors are related to lifestyle and personal habits. “ Is said, and rightly, that cancer is a disease of personal habits and lifestyle and is important to features that can avoid factors that promote cancer ”, says Dr. Brugarolas.

In fact, is estimated that the incidence of el cancer is would reduce between a 30 and a 40% for a same person if lived in full nature rather than in a city with pollution, “ because would get protection faced with many factors negative, although would suffer deficits in many others aspects also important., so the risks are not as relevant as it may seem at first sight ”, indicates the doctor.

However, while some factors influencing the appearance of many types of cancer, known “ biographical itinerary of each tumor is usually unknown ”, explains Dr. Antonio Brugarolas. I.e. after the first necessary and fundamental change that produces an alteration of a cancerous cell (called initiation), are producing a number of other associated changes that may occur during a very long latency period, which can carry between 5 and 40 years. This second stage (promotion) presents a multiple incidence of repetitive and concatenated, factors that go by selecting characteristics that confer to the malignant tumor aggressiveness.

Personal habits represent the highest percentage in the frequency of cancer (all may represent 50% of the factors associated with the occurrence of cancer) and they include common behaviors such as exposure to sunlight, diet, consumption of tobacco and alcohol and exposure to disease.

Among these factors, the most frequent are:

-exposure to solar radiation: one of every three new tumors that are diagnosed are skin cancer. Exposure to UV solar is a factor of melanoma and skin cancer, so it is recommended limit exposure to the Sun and use protective factors high.

-smoke: the factor responsible for the best-known cancer is soot, ash produced by the remains of organic materialthe products of combustion of coal, oil, diesel fuel and tobacco as well as foods (meats, fried foods). The smoke produced by the burning of organic material is carcinogenic and although forest fires and volcanoes throw lots of carcinogenic products into the atmosphere, the most important pollution occurs by smoking and the use of coal in cooking and heating.

-PoluciÃ³n: Besides pollution from transport and smoke from heating in cities joined the concentration of particles and agents toxic of industrial origin, which increase the effects of carcinogens. These particles are still a very long and persistent cycle because they go to the ground, contaminating the waters, and go to the plants and animals. It is estimated that when the concentration of this type of particles in the air increases 1% risk of lung cancer increases a 14%.

-tobacco: the cigarette smoke that is consumed without aspire has 4 times more carcinogenic components that the inhaled and non-smokers living together in the same room are equally exposed to these carcinogens.

– the food:

-embers and grills: requemada meat made broiled, grilled, fried legs very Golden, or very made toast and, in general, charred food contain carcinogenic products known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It is important to improve the conditions of cooking of foods to preserve them nutritious properties and eliminate the occurrence of toxic. A way to avoid the appearance of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in cooking the chicken on the grill, for example, is to marinate in lemon before cooking it.

-stews and traditional dishes: cooking and subsequent cooling slow meals that combine meats and vegetables creates the appearance of nitrosamineswhich are carcinogenic. Epidemiological data suggest that the domestic introduction of the refrigerator has contributed to the gradual disappearance of cancer of the stomach in West

-drinking alcohol: causes liver cancer, especially when there are hepatitis and cirrhosis, and represents a carcinogen of the first order in oropharyngeal cancer and esophageal agent.

Consultation of second opinion in Oncology at USP San Camilo is the reference in Madrid of the Oncology platform, located in the hospital USP San Jaime (Torrevieja), a reference center specialized in the development and implementation of new technical diagnÃ³stico-terapÃ©uticas of cancer. The Oncology platform constitutes one organizational model in Spain, in which the cancer patient and their needs constitute focus around which a team of first class work.
