Calidad de vida en los pacientes obesos y su cambio tras cirugía bariátrica a medio y largo plazo.

INTRODUCTION: Morbid obesity has grown enormously in recent decades, representing a serious public health problem. It is characterized by the accumulation of body fat and the presence of diseases associated with it, which affects the physical, psychological and social level. It has been considered bariatric ciguría as the most effective treatment for weight loss, getting the welfare of the obese person in the above-described drawings. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact on the quality of life of obese people before and after bariatric surgery be tapped using the technique of laparoscopic gastrectomy (GVL) in a follow short, medium and long term. METHOD: The study population are all people with morbid obesity and are candidates for surgery, presenting at Torrecárdenas Bariatric Surgery Hospital (Almería). The design is a descriptive, longitudinal study, prospective. RESULTS: After evaluation of the obese patients a year, two years and five years after surgery, there has been decrease in weight, therefore decrease in BMI and the degree of obesity, improvement or disappearance of comorbidities and increased CV variables. DISCUSSION: The GVL gets reduce excess weight and therefore BMI and the degree of obesity, as well as the number of obesity-associated diseases, thus increasing the CV.

Factores asociados a insulinemia en población general adolescente.

Objectives: To identify factors that correlate with insulin values and to examine its independent associations among adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional population-based study was conducted among adolescents aged 12-16,9 years old. A multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was employed. Anthropometric measurements and nutritional survey were performed, and fasting blood samples for insulin were obtained. Statistics: Multiple lineal regression. Results: 379 adolescents were included. Mean age was 14.08 ± 1.30 years. Factors associated with higher fasting insulin levels were puberty [ 4.55 (95% IC 0.42-8.69)], abdominal obesity [ 6.11 (95% IC 3.93-8.29)] and to be born small for gestational age (SGA) [ 7.45 (95% IC 2.47-12.44)]. It was observed a negative association between the regular intake of olive oil at home and insulin values [ -4.14 (95% IC -7.31- -0.98)]. Conclusions: Abdominal obesity and SGA were factors associated with higher fasting insulin values. In contrast, the regular intake of olive oil at home was an independent protective factor.

Valoración del perfil lipídico y de la densidad mineral ósea en pacientes trasplantados renales

INTRODUCTION: Alterations in lipid metabolism and bone mineral metabolism disturbances are common disorders among renal transplant patients, contributing to the apparition of oxidative metabolic and cardiovascular diseases that threaten the integrity of the graft. AIMS: Describe and observe the evolution of alterations in bone mineral density (BMD) and lipid abnormalities in a population of kidney transplant patients. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The samples consisted of 119 kidney transplant patients of both sexes, measurements were performed pretransplant and posttransplant for five years of biochemical parameters, anthropometric measurements and measurement of bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, femur and radioulnar. RESULTS: During the five years after transplantation a significant increase in biochemical parameters, BMI, dyslipidemia, diabetes and hypertension occurs. At six months there is a high percentage of patients with pathologic BMD increase by 4.1% per year of transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: After kidney transplantation, a large increase of hyperlipidemia associated with a characteristic pattern of altered lipid with elevated total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein, and the resulting increase in triglycerides, occurs despite statin therapy, leading to an increase in risk factors for diabetes, hypertension, diseases and cardiovascualres further loss of bone mass which carries a high risk of serious fractures occurs, threatening kidney graft and quality of life of patients.

Estudio longitudinal del síndrome metabólico tras el trasplante renal.

BACKGROUND: The occurence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) between the renal receptors is one of the major complications after transplantation and is associated with an increased risk of graft failure and high rates of obesity and diabetes new appearance. AIMS: This study aims to investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with the development of the MS and to evaluate the association between the same with the allograft dysfunction. METHODS: The samples consisted of 138 renal transplant patients, 83 men and 55 women, kidney transplant, which was attended by over five years for the transplant consultation. Were analyzed as potential risk factors for MS: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), weight, hypertension, diabetes, LDL, HDL, triglycerides in serum and immunosuppressive therapy (cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil), was also assessed the prevalence of acute rejection episodes and renal function. RESULTS: The prevalence of MS was 39.85 %. As statistically significant risk factors were obtained the BMI, overweight, HDL cholesterol levels, triglycerides and LDL as well as hypertension and diabetes. There were high rates of acute rejection and differences in story to the glomerular filtration rate. CONCLUSIONS: There is a high prevalence of the MS that severely compromised renal function and graft survival in renal transplant patients, it is very important the control and strict monitoring of all risk factors identified.

Estudio de la albúmina sérica y del índice de masa corporal como marcadores nutricionales en pacientes en hemodiálisis.

Background: Protein calorie malnutrition as well as systemic inflammation and metabolic disorders are common among patients with chronic renal failure undergoing renal replacement therapy (haemodialysis), which contributes to its morbidity and mortality. Aims: The aims of this work was to evaluate the nutritional status of patients in a hemodialysis treatment through the assessment of biochemical parameters nutritional as albumin, and anthropometric parameters of body mass index during ten years of follow up. Methods: In this work has been followed 90 patients of both sexes with chronic kidney disease who were treated with hemodialysis regularly on our unit for ten years. All patients were conducted quarterly measurements of plasma albumin (Alb), and other biochemical determinations, and anthropometric measurements of height, weight and body mass index calculated by the formula weight/height², grouped n BMI < 23 kg/m2 and albumin levels <3.8 g/dl according to the consensus of the panel of experts of the International Society for renal Nutrition and metabolism. Results: During the 10 years all patients showed a significant decline in the biochemical parameters and the albumin, change in BMI does not presented significant changes in relation to malnutrition. Conclusions: Malnutrition in patients on dialysis is a fact patent, BMI does not correspond with the biochemical parameters were observed, for what nutritional impairment in these patients is mainly expressed by serum albumin.

Tous les diurétiques sont-ils égaux pour traiter les malades hypertendus? [Are all diuretics equal for the treatment of hypertensive patients?]

Thiazide (hydrochlorothiazide,...) and thiazide-like (chlortalidone, indapamide,...) diuretics are widely used to treat hypertensive patients. There is growing evidence that these diuretics are not interchangeable and that it might be preferable to choose a thiazide-like diuretic whenever the use of a diuretic is considered. This is in order to prevent optimally the development of cardiovascular complications and the occurrence of metabolic side effects, in particular diabetes.

Ulkomaalaistyövoiman hyvä hallinta rakennusliikkeessä

Tämä insinöörityö tehtiin SRV Viitoset Oy:lle. Euroopan Unionin laajentuminen 1.5.2004 uusiin jäsenmaihin on aiheuttanut muutoksia ulkomailta tulevien työntekijöiden käytännöissä rakennustyömailla. Siirtymäaikalaki, lähetetyt työntekijät, työmailla pakolliseksi tullut tunnistekorttikäytäntö sekä käytännön ongelmat työmaiden toimihenkilöiden ja ulkomailta saapuvien työläisten välillä ovat olleet vaikeasti ymmärrettäviä työmailla. Työn tavoitteena on ollut selvittää ulkomaalaistyövoiman käyttöön liittyviä asioita ja käytännön ongelmia rakennusyrityksen näkökulmasta. Insinöörityön teoriaosuus tehtiin kirjallisuustutkimuksena. Lähteinä käytettiin työvoimatoimistosta, verotoimistosta, Eurooppa-tiedotuskeskuksesta sekä Internetistä saatua materiaalia. Eri asiantuntijoiden haastatteluista saatua tietoa käytettiin myös työn teoriaosuuteen. Lisäksi SRV:n työmailla tehtiin toimihenkilöiden haastattelu- ja kyselytutkimus käytännön ongelmien selvittämiseksi. Insinöörityön tuloksena saatiin selvitys menettelyohjeista eri maista saapuvien vierastyöläisten viranomaisasioiden hoitamiseksi. Haastatteluiden perusteella SRV:n työmaiden toimihenkilöiden käytännön työelämässä toteamista ongelmista merkittävimmiksi havaittiin kielitaitoon ja viranomaislupiin liittyvät ongelmat. Lisäksi selvityksessä arvioitiin SRV Yhtiöiden ulkomaalaistyövoimaa koskevien menettelyohjeiden kehittämistarvetta. Tämä insinöörityö sisältää teoriaosuuden, joka sisältää eri maista tulevien työntekijöiden lupakäytännöt, harmaan talouden torjunnan sekä SRV Yhtiöiden ulkomaalaistyövoimaa koskevat menettelyohjeet käytännöistä ulkomaalaistyövoiman kanssa meneteltäessä. Lisäksi työ sisältää SRV:n toimihenkilöille tehdyn haastattelu- ja kyselytutkimuksen. Keskeisenä johtopäätöksenä tutkimuksesta on, että ulkomaisen työvoiman käyttö rakentamisessa on pysyvä ilmiö, joka edellyttää rakennusliikkeiltä sopeutumista uusiin ja erilaisiin haasteisiin.
