Clinical characteristics, treatment, and blood pressure control in patients with hypertension seen by primary care physicians in Spain: the IBERICAN study

Objectives: To determine the clinical profile, according to the history of hypertension, the risk of developing hypertension, current antihypertensive treatment and BP control rates in patients with hypertension from the IBERICAN cohort. Methods: IBERICAN is an ongoing prospective cohort study, whose primary objective is to determine the frequency, incidence, and distribution of CVRF in the adult Spanish population seen in primary care settings. This analysis shows the baseline clinical characteristics of patients with hypertension. Adequate BP control was defined as BP <140/90 mmHg according to 2013 ESH/ESC guidelines. Results: A total of 8,066 patients were consecutively included, of whom 3,860 (48.0%) had hypertension. These patients were older (65.8 ± 10.9 vs. 51.6 ± 14.7 years; p < 0.001), had more cardiovascular risk factors, target organ damage and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in comparison with those without hypertension. The risk of hypertension increased with the presence of associated CV risk factors and comorbidities, particularly diabetes, obesity and the metabolic syndrome, and decreased with the intensity of physical activity. Regarding antihypertensive treatments, 6.1% of patients did not take any medication, 38.8% were taking one antihypertensive drug, 35.5% two drugs, and 19.6% three or more antihypertensive drugs. Overall, 58.3% achieved BP goals <140/90 mmHg. A greater probability of BP control was observed with increasing age of patients and the greater number of antihypertensive drugs. Blood pressure control was lower in hypertensive patients with diabetes, obesity, the metabolic syndrome, increased urinary albumin excretion, higher pulse pressure, and lack of antihypertensive treatment. Conclusions: About half of patients attended in primary care settings have hypertension in Spain. Patients with hypertension have a worse CV clinical profile than non-hypertensive patients, with greater association of CVRF and CVD. Around four out of ten patients do not achieve the recommended BP goals, and higher use of combination therapies is associated with a better BP control

Prevalence of Hyperuricemia and Its Association with Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Subclinical Target Organ Damage

The role of uric acid levels in the cardiovascular continuum is not clear. Our objective is to analyze the prevalence of hyperuricemia (HU) and its association with cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF), subclinical target organ damage (sTOD), and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). We evaluated the prevalence of HU in 6.927 patients included in the baseline visit of the IBERICAN study. HU was defined as uric acid levels above 6 mg/dL in women, and 7 mg/dL in men. Using adjusted logistic regression models, the odds ratios were estimated according to CVRF, sTOD, and CVD. The prevalence of HU was 16.3%. The risk of HU was higher in patients with pathological glomerular filtration rate (aOR: 2.92), heart failure (HF) (aOR: 1.91), abdominal obesity (aOR: 1.80), hypertension (HTN) (aOR: 1.65), use of thiazides (aOR: 1.54), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) (aOR: 1.36), atrial fibrillation (AFIB) (aOR: 1.29), and albuminuria (aOR: 1.27). On the other hand, being female (aOR: 0.82) showed a reduced risk. The prevalence of HU was higher in men, in patients presenting CVRF such as HTN and abdominal obesity, and with co-existence of LVH, atrial fibrillation (AFIB), HF, and any form of kidney injury. These associations raise the possibility that HU forms part of the early stages of the cardiovascular continuum. This may influence its management in Primary Healthcare because the presence of HU could mean an increased CV risk in the patients

¿Es útil Google Sites en la enseñanza Universitaria del Área de Ciencias de la Salud?

La elaboración de una página Web dentro del ámbito de la educación permite el diseño de una Recurso Educativo Abierto que podría estar englobado dentro de la metodología Flipped learning o clase invertida. Por ello, un grupo de profesores de la Facultad de Medicina y profesiones del ámbito de la Medicina y Odontología han elaborado un entorno formativo on-line específico, mediante la herramienta Google Sites, en una materia de conocimiento, como Bioquímica y Genética Molecular durante el curso 2019/2020. Esta página web se ha empleado en distintas asignaturas y ha facilitado la adquisición de algunas competencias que son comunes en distintas titulaciones universitarias

Aplicación de la WebQuest en la enseñanza universitaria del área de Ciencias de la Salud

El presente proyecto es una propuesta para evaluar el uso de la WebQuest en la docencia de la asignatura de Bioquímica Humana durante el curso 2018-2019. Esta actividad de investigación es una estrategia de aprendizaje que fomenta la adquisición de habilidades como el análisis, la integración de conocimientos, la capacidad de resolución de problemas y el aprendizaje cooperativo, por lo que podría ser útil para la docencia del área de ciencias de la salud

Asistente para identificación de gustos culinarios en grupos de personas

En este documento se detallarán los pasos que se han seguido para desarrollar esta aplicación móvil. Dicha aplicación facilitará a las personas o grupos de personas, su elección de platos en cualquier tipo de local de comida y evitará problemas alérgicos. Este proceso se llevará a cabo mediante algoritmos que descifren los gustos culinarios de cada persona y mediante una tecnología para compartir preferencias culinarias entre comensales. Inicialmente la aplicación tomará datos culinarios muy genéricos para una primera valoración, que se irán refinando a medida que el usuario interactúe con la misma.This document will detail the steps that have been taken to develop this mobile application. This application will make easier for individuals or groups of individuals, the choice of dishes in any type of food local and avoid allergic problems. This process is carried out by means of algorithms to decipher the culinary tastes of each person and using technology to share culinary preferences among diners. Initially the application will take very generic culinary data for an initial assessment, which will be refined as the user interacts with it.Grado en Ingeniería Informática en Ingeniería del Software.

Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Diabetes in Extremadura (Spain) during the Years 2012, 2013 and 2014: An Observational Study

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We analyzed the prevalence of CKD in the population with diabetes in Extremadura (Spain). retrospective observational study was carried in the diabetic population attended in the Extremadura Health System in 2012–2014. A total of 38,253 patients, ≥18 years old were included. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration equation. CKD was defined as follow: an eGFR &lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2 in a time period ≥ of three months or the presence of renal damage, with or without reduced eGFR, if the urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) was ≥30 mg/g, also in a time period ≥ of three months. The prevalence rate of CKD was 25.3% (27.6% in women; 23.0% in men) and increases with age (34.0% in ≥65 years-olds). 24.9% of patients with CKD were in the very-high risk category for cardiovascular events (6.3% of the diabetic population). If CKD were diagnosed without requiring sustained eGFR &lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and/or sustained UACR ≥30 mg/g (as it is frequently found in the literature) this would overestimate the prevalence of CKD by 23%
