Foley catheters are associated with multiple complications

new YORK (Reuters Health) – the use of catheters for Foley could raise the risk of developing an infection urinary ( IU), among other complications. “To infections of the urinary tract provided much “ attention as a complication of the use of catheters for Foley. “We find that the injuries Genitourinary associated with those devices, ranging from bleeding under a the bladder perforation, are a risk extra”, said Dr. Anne-Marie Leuck. “, The majority of prescription antibiotics are “” unnecessary”, he added. In Journal of medicine, Leuck, of the University team of Minnesota, in Minneapolis, reviewed the clinical records of patients placed in Veteran Affairs Medical Center of Minneapolis, which had used a Foley catheter over a period of 16 months. The catheters were controlled all days. In the 6.513 revealed days, the urianálisis crops of made in 407 days urine revealed 116 likely IU, with clinical signs only in 21 (18 per cent). 81 By cent of these cases indicated antimicrobial. The same drugs used in 41 percent of the 95 cases of asymptomatic bacteriuria. Although the proportion not was higher, the number of asymptomatic patients treated was significantly superior. In addition, there were 100 cases of associated Genitourinary injuries with the use of a catheter (1.5 per cent of the days of use Foley catheters), including 32 who demanded interventions, such as prolonged catheterization or cystoscopy.

Intermittent nasal ventilation is better than continuous for preterm infants

new YORK (Reuters Health) – A meta-analysis reveals that the intermittent positive pressure ventilation early use (NIPPV,_por_sus_siglas_en_inglés) instead of positive pressure continuous nasal (NCPAP, in English) in preterm infants with (RDS) respiratory distress syndrome prevents the use of mechanical ventilation invasive in the first 72 hours of life. Jucille Meneses, of the Institute of medicine team Integral Professor Fernando Figueira, Recife, Brazil, publishes Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent outcomes Medicine. “Minimize the need of invasive mechanical ventilation in “ the first hours of life is important to reduce the risk “ dysplasia (BPD) bronchopulmonary and other Comorbidities”, writes the team. The authors acknowledge that the use of NCPAP reduced significantly the incidence of BPD in babies preterm infants with RDS, but ensure that the strategy does not latest invasive, the NIPPV, has more advantages and increasingly is more used in neonatal intensive care units of the world. The team reviewed the literature and identified three studies important on some 360 babies. The results revealed a significant reduction in the use of invasive ventilation in the first 72 hours of life in children treated with NIPPV versus the group treated with NCPAP (RR = 0, 60). And although the relative risk of BPD was 0.56, the difference was not statistically significant. In the discussion of the results, the team stresses that the NIPPV also prevents the failure of extubation and...

Drug resistant malaria expands to Thailand and Myanmar

HONG KONG (Reuters) – A strain of malaria increasingly resistant to most of the effective drugs used to treat expanded on the border between Thailand and Myanmar, according to a 10-year study revealed published in the medical journal The Lancet. This way difficult to treat malaria could arrive to India and Africa unless they find a way of contain, a team of researchers added. The results of the study, published Friday, indicate that patients in clinics to treat malaria took them more time improving when they were given combinations treatment with artemisinin, a drug known as best drug against malaria, according to one of the authors. “Artemisinin-resistant strains of malaria are “ definitely found on the western border of “ Thailand and East of Myanmar”, said Professor Nicholas White, of the Tropical Medicine Research Unit of the Of Mahidol University, in Bangkok, Thailand, and the Centre for the Tropical Medicine of the University of Oxford. “The consequence is that there they expand or arise new “ (strains) “, White told Reuters. “ Considered that the expansion of malaria resistant to the medication is a product of the incorrect use of artemisinin and fake versions and poor quality of the medicinal product. It is needed a stronger action by Governments and the international agencies to stop all this, said White. “Need considerable support for Myanmar, leadership, “ best intelligence about...

Eating slowly helps to eat less

(www.neomundo.com.ar), eat slowly and chew rather serves to enjoy more at bottom of food but also to eat less. People who practice this good habit on a daily basis tend to consume one quantity of food and calories. Two studies by nutritionists from the University of Rhode Island (United States) reinforced the theory that eating more slowly is a good way to lose weight. The experts found, among other things, that men eat faster than women and overweight people to chew less than slender individuals. Speeds that ENGORDAN the first research nutritionist Kathleen Melanson found the speed to which eat people is related to the amount of food they eat. Fastest volunteers ate 85 grams of food per minute, of fast intermediate 56 grams and the slower 50 grams. Melanson also noted a big difference between the habits of women and men. They tended to eat 80 calories per minute and them 52, with the particularity that “men who perceived that they ate slowly did so at the same rate as women who felt that they ate fast”. The second study took into account if participants were thin, had an overweight or suffering from an obesity. In this case Melanson found that men and women who eat more quickly have many more likely to develop an overweight or obese. Nutritionist explained that it is not yet known why this...

A protein, new aggravating factor in breast cancer

is one of the most feared diseases, by quiet of his appearance and stealth of their advance. Also, of course, by the numbers that illustrate its impact on the world’s population throughout history. In our country, for example, occur a year about 206 new cancer cases per 100 thousand inhabitants. However, for some years, it has begun to cease to be a taboo in society, mainly thanks to the possibilities not only heal, but also to not get sick.  In this sense, science stands as an essential part of the quest to unravel the mechanisms through which, at a certain time, abnormal cells begin to multiply to give rise to a tumor. And it is here where it appears the team of Dr. Patricia Elizalde, researcher at the Conicet in the laboratory of Molecular Carcinogenesis of the Institute of biology and medicine Experimental (IBYME), who at the end of 2010 discovered the unique role of a protein called ErbB2 in cases of breast cancer, when he moved to the core of malignant cells and triggers tumor expansion mechanisms.  Those conclusions turned then in a publication of the journal Molecular and Cellular Biology, which recently followed another that reflects the significant progress achieved in a new study of 2011: tests to patients, the team was unable to confirm the clinical relevance of that first discovery. Prior discovery To understand the...
