    De novo malignancies following liver transplantation: impact and recommendations

    1. De novo malignancy is one of the leading causes of late mortality after liver transplantation. 2. The risks of skin cancers and lymphoma are more than 10-fold greater than the risks in an age-matched and sex-matched general population. 3. Some types of neoplasia, such as lung, head and neck, and colorectal cancer, are more frequent in liver transplant recipients than in an age-matched and sexmatched population. The risks of other frequent malignancies, such as prostate and breast cancer, do not seem to be increased. 4. The most important risks for posttransplant malignancy are Epstein-Barr virus seronegativity (for lymphoma), sun exposure (for skin cancer), smoking, and increasing age. 5. Despite the absence of evidence, general recommendations (such as avoidance of overimmunosuppression, sunlight protection, and cessation of smoking) should be given. Screening protocols may help to detect neoplasia at an early stage of disease

    Prophylaxis and treatment of hepatitis B infection in the setting of liver transplantation

    Get PDF
    Without any treatment, the prognosis of hepatitis B in liver transplant recipients is very poor. So, antiviral prophylaxis is very important in patients with hepatitis B who undergo liver transplantation. Before liver transplantation, a suppression of viral replication has to be achieved by nucleos(t)ide analogs. Drugs used in the prophylaxis of post-transplant hepatitis B include immunoglobulin against HBV and nucleos(t)ide analogs. Prophylaxis against graft infection must be based on the individual risk of recurrence. When prophylactic measures have failed and graft infection has occurred, treatment of recurrent hepatitis B may be based on the resistance profile of the virus and previous antiviral exposure. Finally, lamivudine seems to be very effective in the prevention of de novo hepatitis B in patients transplanted with a graft from an anti-HBc positive donor

    Neoshamanism and technospirituality: the case of the trance movement in Andalucía

    La corriente “New Age” forma parte de una nueva manera de ver el mundo y sentirlo que en muchos casos se opone a las estructuras establecidas. En este texto se aborda el caso concreto de un movimiento New Age particular que combina la tecnología, la música y los enteógenos: el movimiento del trance en Andalucía. A través del ritual de la rave y los elementos que en él encontramos, sus integrantes comparten una experiencia colectiva que se relaciona con los estados alterados de conciencia, que se obtienen a través de la intermediación de aparatos tecnológicos. Este tipo de expresiones forman parte de lo que se ha denominado tecnochamanismo, en clara alusión metafórica a las experiencias que se obtienen en los rituales chamánicos.The current "New Age" is part of a new way of seeing the world and feel in many cases opposed to the established structures. This text addresses the specific case of a particular New Age movement that combines technology, music and entheogens: trance movement in Andalusia. Through the ritual of the rave and their elements, members share a collective experience that relates to altered states of consciousness, which is obtained through the intermediation of technological devices. Such expressions are part of what has been called techno-shamanism, metaphorically alluding to the experience obtained in shamanic rituals

    El cannabis medicinal y la violencia estructural

    I recently had the opportunity to do a research stay in Mexico, at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM), from September 1 to October 15, 2014. The experience of being in one of the world centers of Anthropology was without doubt very pleasant and enriching both academically and personally. And it is that not only did I have the opportunity to generate contacts and networks in relation to my field of research, but I was also able to attend different events (some not directly related to the topic I am investigating) that served to reflect on some issues related to the lack of protection of certain populations against the use of unlawful medical practices (however effective they may be), and by extension the application of political and structural violence on the control of individuals and their bodies and, ultimately , on the control of populations.Recientemente tuve la oportunidad de realizar una estancia de investigación en México, en la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM), desde el 1 de septiembre hasta el 15 de octubre de 2014. La experiencia de estar en uno de los centros mundiales de la Antropología fue sin duda muy grata y enriquecedora tanto a nivel académico como a nivel personal. Y es que no sólo tuve la posibilidad de generar contactos y redes en lo relacionado a mi campo de investigación, sino que también pude asistir a diferentes actos (algunos no directamente relacionados con la temática sobre la que investigo) que me sirvieron para reflexionar sobre algunas cuestiones relativas a la desprotección de determinadas poblaciones frente al uso de prácticas médicas no legitimadas (por muy efectivas que puedan resultar), y por extensión a la aplicación de la violencia política y estructural sobre el control de los individuos y sus cuerpos y, en definitiva, sobre el control de las poblaciones
