Methods: Observational retrospective cross-sectional study from January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2018. Results: We included 10 patients who presented infection by Neisseria meningitidis of 157 patients who had CNS infection, presenting a prevalence of 6.4%. with the same distribution for men and women. Five cases occurred in children under one year of age, three cases between 1-5 years and two cases between 6-10 years. 75% were from a low socio-economic level and 25% were médium. In 2 cases, neisseria Meningitis B was serotype. 7 of 10 cases presented fever as the main symptom. 40% presented duration greater than 5 days of treatment and the antimicrobial more used was ceftriaxone, the rapid treatment allowed an improvement of the symptomatology in an average of 4 days. there was a death (lethality of 0.01%). Conclusion: There is evidence of an increase of approximately 15% in the notification of cases in the last 2 years. the affectation still predominates in children under 1 year of age without sexual preference, belonging to a low socio-economic and socio-demographic stratum, where 20% of the cases identify the serogroupIntroducción: La enfermedad meningocócica es causada por la bacteria Neisseria meningitidis, comensal de la nasofaringe en 10% de la población.

    Discrepant results have been published by studies comparing deaths by suicide with attempted suicides. This study aimed to determine factors associated with suicides and attempted suicides in Andalusia (Spain) between 2007 and 2013, comparing sex, age, year, and suicide method between these populations. A retrospective study was conducted of data on deaths by suicide and attempted suicides over a seven-year period, calculating the sex and age rates for each behavior. Adjusted Poisson regression was used to analyze the association with study variables, and incidence rate ratios were estimated. During the seven-year study period, 20,254 attempted suicides and 5202 deaths by suicide were recorded. The prevalence of attempted suicide did not differ between the sexes, whereas the prevalence of deaths by suicide was three-fold higher among males than among females and increased with higher age. The most frequently used method was the same in males and females for suicide attempts, but differed between the sexes for suicides. The combined influence of sex and age was greater in the model for death by suicide than in the model for attempted suicide. The key differentiating factor was the method used, while the finding of greatest concern was the suicide behavior among the elderly. Preventive strategies should take these differences into account

    Objective To analyze the number and characteristics of suicide attempts by reviewing records of the public emergency healthcare service information system. Method A retrospective observational study was conducted of emergency telephone calls received between January 1 2007 and December 31 2013 throughout the Andalusia region (Southern Spain). Cases were selected based on phone operator or healthcare team labeling. Data were analyzed on the characteristics of the individuals, the timing and severity of attempts, their prioritization, and their outcome. Results Between January 1 2007 and December 31 2013, 20.942 calls related to suicide attempts were recorded, a rate of 34.7 attempts per 100,000 inhabitants. Most cases were classified by the public emergency healthcare service (Empresa Pública de Emergencias Sanitarias, EPES) as code X84 (The International Statistical Classification of Diseases, tenth revision, ICD-10) or 305(The International Statistical Classification of Diseases, ninth revision, ICD- 9). Attempts were more frequent in the 35-49-year age group and there were similar proportions of males and females. The lowest number of calls for suicide attempts were in 2007 and the highest in 2013. Calls were more frequent during the summer months, at weekends, and between 16:00 and 23:00 h. The likelihood of evacuation to the hospital emergency department was almost two-fold lower in over 65-yr-olds than in younger individuals. Significant (ƿ = 0.001) gender differences were found in call outcome and prioritization. The most influential factor for evacuation to a hospital emergency department was the code assigned by the attending healthcare team. Conclusions Information obtained from extra-hospital emergency services provides valuable data on the characteristics and timing of calls related to suicide attempts, complementing information from hospital emergency departments or population surveys. There is a need to standardize the definition and recording of a suicide attempt.The authors are grateful to the Public Enterprise of Healthcare Emergencies of Andalusia (Empresa Pública de Emergencias Sanitarias de Andalucía) for providing the data used in this study

    Deep brain stimulation in Parkinson disease

    Get PDF
    Introduction: Parkinson’s disease is considered the second cause of neurodegenerative disease, in which motor signs and symptoms such as tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity and postural instability are highlighted, accompanied by non-motor symptoms such as sleep, autonomic, cognitive, gastrointestinal among others disturbances. The pharmacological treatment of the disease at the beginning is usually useful, but when the symptoms persist, the treatment fails or its adverse reactions are not tolerated, it is necessary to consider alternatives such as deep brain stimulation. Methodology: This is a narrative review with emphasis on the clinical aspects of deep brain stimulation therapy in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Discussion: Deep brain stimulation is a surgical technique in which electrodes are implanted in specific brain regions, usually the subthalamic nucleus, globus pallidus interna or ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus, and are connected to a subcutaneous pacemaker from which the activity of these areas is modulated electrically. This therapy has been shown to be cost-effective, provides considerable benefits in improving the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and has clinical evidence in patients who have been correctly selected
