Evaluación nutricional y su repercusión en la capacidad funcional: Hemodiálisis, Hospital General "Abel Santamaría Cuadrado" Nutritional assessment and its repercusion in the functional capacity: Hemodyalisis, "Abel Santamaría Cuadrado" General Hospital

La malnutrición es un problema frecuente con un mayor número de admisiones hospitalarias y compromiso de la capacidad funcional de los pacientes que reciben reemplazo renal por hemodiálisis. Objetivo: Describir el comportamiento del estado nutricional y la capacidad funcional de los pacientes que se hemodializan. Método: Se realizó un estudio analítico de corte transversal mediante la valoración global subjetiva y la escala de Karnofsky durante los meses de enero a mayo del año 2008, a 34 pacientes en hemodiálisis pertenecientes al servicio de Nefrología del Hospital "Abel Santamaría Cuadrado" de la ciudad de Pinar del Río con previo consentimiento. Se analizaron las variables como la edad, etiología de la insuficiencia renal crónica, el tiempo en hemodiálisis, estado nutricional y la capacidad funcional. La información se obtuvo por medio de encuestas y el libro de morbilidad y mortalidad del departamento de Nefrología. Se utilizó la técnica estadística de análisis de distribución de frecuencias para categoría de variables, además, se empleó el test de independencia para probar la hipótesis nula de asociación entre las variables; fijándose un nivel de significación a = 0.05. Resultados: Se evaluaron a 34 pacientes con una edad promedio de 48 años y en tratamiento de hemodiálisis de 124 meses. El 66,67% de los enfermos mostraron estado nutricional y capacidad funcional normal, por otra parte, 6 de los estudiados se encontraban con evidentes signos de malnutrición de moderada a severa lo que se correspondía con una incapacidad de cuidarse al aplicársele la escala de Karnofsky. No se encontró correlación entre el estado nutricional y el tiempo en hemodiálisis en los pacientes con una estadía en hemodiálisis superior a los 2 años. Palabras clave: Diálisis renal, estado nutricional. ABSTRACT Malnutritión is a frequent problem that represents a greater number of hospital admissions and compromise of the functional capacity of the patients that undergo a renal replacement hemodyalisis. Objective: Describe the nutritional status and the functional capacity of those patients that undergo hemodyalisis. Methods: A tranversal analytical study was carried out by means of a subjective comprehensive assessment and Karnofsky Scale during the months of January through May, 2008 . This study was conducted, with the due informed consent, on 34 patients in hemodyalisis who belong in the nephrological service of Abel Santamaria General Teaching Hospital of Pinar del Rio City. Variables like age, etiology of the chronic renal failure, time elapsed in hemodyalisis, nutritional status and functional capacity were included in the study. Information was gathered through surveys and from the the morbimortality book of the nephrology unit. The statistical analysis of frequency distribution was used for each category of variables. Furthermore, the independence test was also used so as to test the association of variable null hypothesis. The level of significance was set at á = 0.05. Results: 34 patients were studied. The average age was 48 years and the hemodyalisis treatment under study was 124 months. 66,67% of patients showed a normal nutritional status and functional capacity. On the other hand, 6 out of the whole group had evident signs of malnutrition from moderate to severe, which had direct correspondence with evident compromise of the functional capacity according to the Karnofsky Scale. There was no correlation with the nutritional status and the time in hemodyalisis in the patients who had undergone more that two years of treatment. Key words: Renal dialysis, nutritional status

Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: a pooled analysis of 3663 population-representative studies with 222 million children, adolescents, and adults

Background Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. Methods We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that measured height and weight in representative samples of the general population. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends in the prevalence of different BMI categories, separately for adults (age ≥20 years) and school-aged children and adolescents (age 5–19 years), from 1990 to 2022 for 200 countries and territories. For adults, we report the individual and combined prevalence of underweight (BMI <18·5 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). For schoolaged children and adolescents, we report thinness (BMI <2 SD below the median of the WHO growth reference) and obesity (BMI >2 SD above the median). Findings From 1990 to 2022, the combined prevalence of underweight and obesity in adults decreased in 11 countries (6%) for women and 17 (9%) for men with a posterior probability of at least 0·80 that the observed changes were true decreases. The combined prevalence increased in 162 countries (81%) for women and 140 countries (70%) for men with a posterior probability of at least 0·80. In 2022, the combined prevalence of underweight and obesity was highest in island nations in the Caribbean and Polynesia and Micronesia, and countries in the Middle East and north Africa. Obesity prevalence was higher than underweight with posterior probability of at least 0·80 in 177 countries (89%) for women and 145 (73%) for men in 2022, whereas the converse was true in 16 countries (8%) for women, and 39 (20%) for men. From 1990 to 2022, the combined prevalence of thinness and obesity decreased among girls in five countries (3%) and among boys in 15 countries (8%) with a posterior probability of at least 0·80, and increased among girls in 140 countries (70%) and boys in 137 countries (69%) with a posterior probability of at least 0·80. The countries with highest combined prevalence of thinness and obesity in school-aged children and adolescents in 2022 were in Polynesia and Micronesia and the Caribbean for both sexes, and Chile and Qatar for boys. Combined prevalence was also high in some countries in south Asia, such as India and Pakistan, where thinness remained prevalent despite having declined. In 2022, obesity in school-aged children and adolescents was more prevalent than thinness with a posterior probability of at least 0·80 among girls in 133 countries (67%) and boys in 125 countries (63%), whereas the converse was true in 35 countries (18%) and 42 countries (21%), respectively. In almost all countries for both adults and school-aged children and adolescents, the increases in double burden were driven by increases in obesity, and decreases in double burden by declining underweight or thinness. Interpretation The combined burden of underweight and obesity has increased in most countries, driven by an increase in obesity, while underweight and thinness remain prevalent in south Asia and parts of Africa. A healthy nutrition transition that enhances access to nutritious foods is needed to address the remaining burden of underweight while curbing and reversing the increase in obesit

Dementia in Latin America : paving the way towards a regional action plan

Regional challenges faced by Latin American and Caribbean countries (LACs) to fight dementia, such as heterogeneity, diversity, political instabilities, and socioeconomic disparities, can be addressed more effectively grounded in a collaborative setting based on the open exchange of knowledge. In this work, the Latin American and Caribbean Consortium on Dementia (LAC-CD) proposes an agenda for integration to deliver a Knowledge to Action Framework (KtAF). First, we summarize evidence-based strategies (epidemiology, genetics, biomarkers, clinical trials, nonpharmacological interventions, networking and translational research) and align them to current global strategies to translate regional knowledge into actions with transformative power. Then, by characterizing genetic isolates, admixture in populations, environmental factors, and barriers to effective interventions and mapping these to the above challenges, we provide the basic mosaics of knowledge that will pave the way towards a KtAF. We describe strategies supporting the knowledge creation stage that underpins the translational impact of KtAF

Prática clínica cotidiana versus a evidência científica no manejo fisioterapêutico da dor lombar crónica inespecífica

Introducción: El 80 % de los adultos experimenta dolor lumbar por lo menos una vez en su vida. El dolor lumbar es la tercera causa de consulta en urgencias, la cuarta en medicina general, la segunda de pension por invalidez y la primera de reubicacion laboral. Objetivo: Comparar los criterios que orientan la toma de decisiones de un grupo de fisioterapeutas en Bogota, Colombia para el manejo del dolor lumbar cronico inespecifico con los criterios de manejo contenidos en la guia COST B13 (European Guidelines For The Management Of Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain, 2004). Materiales y método: Se trato de un estudio descriptivo, en el cual se selecciono la guia de practica clinica COST B13 para el manejo de dolor lumbar cronico inespecifico mediante la herramienta AGREE y se aplico una encuesta a 50 fisioterapeutas por medio de un muestreo por conveniencia con el fin de comparar las practicas clinicas que se realizan frente a las recomendaciones dadas en la guia. Resultados: El 56 % de los encuestados contaba con algun tipo de entrenamiento para el manejo del Dolor Lumbar Cronico Inespecifico (DLCI). El 94 % de los pacientescon DLCI atendidos oscilan en edades de 40 a 59 anos, con predominio del sexo femenino. En el 80 % de los fisioterapeutas encuestados manifesto que la ayuda diagnostica con la que cuentan para el manejo de los pacientes es la imagen radiologica. El 80 % de los fisioterapeutas evalua la variable de dolor lumbar experimentado por el paciente y el 54 % la postura. Otros aspectos fueron reportados en menor porcentaje como test neurales, rangos de movimiento y pruebas de flexibilidad muscular. En el tratamiento del DLCI, los fisioterapeutas reportan hacer uso de los estiramientos en el 80 % de los casos, la termoterapia superficial, en el 70 % y el fortalecimiento muscular isometrico, en el 70 %, todos con resultados favorables. Conclusión: Existen diferencias entre la practica clinica y los lineamientos contenidos en las recomendaciones dadas por la guia COST B13 para DLCI, principalmente en los procesos de evaluacion clinica, ya que suelen estar centrados en la observacion y no siempre en la medicion rigurosa, lo que dificulta la posibilidad de establecer indicadores de proceso y desenlace en el diagnostico y tratamiento de los pacientes con DLCI.Introducao: o 80% dos adultos experimenta dor lombar pelo menos uma vez em sua vida; a dor lombar e a terceira causa de consulta em emergencias, a quarta em medicina geral, a segunda de pensao por invalidez e a primeira de deslocalizacao laboral.

O 80% dos fisioterapeutas avalia a variavel de dor lombar experimentado pelo paciente e o 54% a postura. Outros aspectos foram reportados em menor porcentagem como teste neurais, rasgos de movimentos, e provas de flexibilidade muscular. No tratamento da DLCI, os fisioterapeutas reportam fazer uso dos estiramentos no 80% dos casos, a termoterapia superficial no 70% e o fortalecimento muscular isometrico no 70%, todos com resultados favoraveis. Conclusoes: Existem diferencas entre a pratica clinica e os lineamentos conteudos nas recomendacoes dadas pela guia COST B12 para DLCI principalmente nos processos de avaliacao clinica devido a que costumam estar centrados na observacao e nao sempre na medicao rigorosa o que dificulta a possibilidade de estabelecer indicadores de proceso e desenlace no diagnostico e tratamento dos pacientes com DLCI.Introduction: 80 % of adults experience back pain at least once in their life. Back pain is the third leading cause of consultation in the emergency room, the fourth in general practice, the second of disability pension and the first job relocation. Objective: To compare the criteria that guide decision making of a group of physiotherapists in Bogota Colombia for the management of chronic nonspecific low back pain management criteria contained in the guide COST B13 (European Guidelines For The Management Of Chronic Non- specific Low Back Pain, 2004). Material and methods: This was a descriptive study, for which clinical practice guideline COST B13 for the management of chronic nonspecific low back pain through the AGREE tool is selected anda survey was applied to 50 physiotherapists through a convenience sample with to compare the clinical practices that are performed with the recommendations given guidance. Results: 56 % of respondents had some type of training for the management of chronic nonspecific low back pain (DLCI). 94 % of patients with DLCI served range in age from 40 to 59, with female predominance. In 80 % of respondents stated that physiotherapists diagnostic help with counting for the management of patients is the radiological image. 80 % of physiotherapists evaluated variable lumbar pain experienced by the patient and 54 % stance. Other aspects were reported in lower percentage. In the treatment of DLCI, physiotherapists reported use of stretching in 80 %of cases, the superficial thermotherapy in 70 % and isometric muscle strength in 70 %, all with favorable results. Conclusion: There are differences between clinical practice of physiotherapists and guidelines contained in the recommendations of the guide in the cost DLCI B13. Mainly in the processes of physiotherapy assessment of the surveyed population as they are often focusedon observation and not always in the rigorous measurement, which makes it difficult to establish indicators of process and outcome in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with DLCI.
