Primary Care Physicians already have a guidance document knowing how to diagnose and treat diseases of the prostate
The family doctor should be the first step for patients when confronting a possible prostate disease.
The cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in primary care consultations are equal to those of hypertension in men over 50 years.
Clinical Document SEMERGEN is a tool for professional advice.
The urological pathologies related to the prostate are becoming more frequent reason for consulting primary care physician, so the Spanish Society of Primary Care Physicians (SEMERGEN) has developed a clinical document (SEMERGEN Doc) aimed at family physicians in order to increase their training in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of prostate diseases.
At the high prevalence of these diseases, says Dr. Francisco Brenes, coordinator of the SEMERGEN Urology, family physicians must know the most useful keys for the diagnosis and more appropriate use of therapeutic alternatives . Among these conditions, underlines the benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) which is the most common benign tumor in men over 50 years and the second leading cause of surgery. Dr. Brenes to this data, which reflects the SEMERGEN Doc, adds that it is not known, for example, that BPH has an equal prevalence of hypertension in men over 50 years.
In developing the Doc SEMERGEN taken into account the national and international guidelines most important. In this document, sponsored by Astellas Pharma laboratory, the group has participated Urological Society, composed of primary care physicians (AP) involved and trained in urology and a urological medical specialist who has focused specifically on part of surgical treatment of BPH.
Incidence of prostate diseases
Prostate pathologies that are commonly seen in the doctor's AP vary depending on the patient's age. Dr. Francisco Brenes concrete between 30 and 40 years dominated inflammatory problems, infection such as prostatitis. After 50 years appears to BPH, and when the patient is over 60 years, symptoms may be associated with prostate cancer.
According to the doctor, family physician at the health center in Badalona Llefià, when a patient arrives at the office says he has, and in his opinion should be able to interpret the symptoms and identify the problems of this type , affecting much of the population.
Currently, in Spain, BPH is the leading cause of urology. While the symptoms of prostatitis (infection or inflammation) of the prostate giving rise to 1% of all visits to family doctor and 8% of those made to the urologist. With regard to prostate cancer, one in six men will develop this disease during their lives, 9 out of 10 cases occur in over 65 years and 70% of patients with this tumor is at risk of developing metastasis.
Dr. Brenes argues that the family doctor should be the first step for patients when confronting a possible illness, so you should be able to provide solutions to some of these pathologies. He notes that almost obligatorily, the BPH is one of them, like the protastitis that failure is acute and very complicated, can be evaluated by your primary physician.
Trailing in Europe
Dr. Francisco Brenes concludes that these documents will increase the level of knowledge of family physicians in the field of Urology, which is currently at a disadvantage compared to their counterparts in Europe. For Brenes, for example, the Spanish GP made very little on rectal examination. In other countries like England or Denmark, 70% of family physicians, a patient with urinary tract symptoms made him a touch. In Spain only 20%.

A first Spanish chairs the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery
*
The eye surgeon Jose Luis Güell, president-elect of the society Europe's largest eye
*
Prepare the 13th winter meeting of the Society to be held in February in Rome with crucial issues such as the use of stem cells, genetic manipulation and ocular prosthesis
Dr. Jose Luis Güell, unit coordinator and corneal refractive surgery for Ocular Microsurgery Institute (IMO) in Barcelona, has become the first Spanish who chairs the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ESCRS). The specialist, who served as secretary of the Society between 2003 and 2007, was elected unanimously by the Board of Directors of the Company last September in Berlin.
The ESCRS, most important ophthalmic society of Europe, aims to disseminate and train its European ophthalmologists through the two major annual conferences and many organized activities with national societies in Europe. In addition, these meetings allow the sharing of knowledge and inter aim to improve the quality of care in Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe, and other participating countries in Asia and the Middle East. Also some attitudes and encourage good practice in the practice to prevent infection and prevent disease emergence.
A presidency with crucial challenges
The thirteenth meeting of the ESCRS winter, to be held from 6 to 8 February in Rome, will be the first to have a Spanish ophthalmologist and president-elect of the Society. The meeting will bring together 1,500 specialists from across Europe and will table key challenges of the specialty, and the latest advances in stem cell tissue culture, genetic manipulation and artificial cornea implants (keratoprosthesis), replacing the cornea. The latter technique is new to many European countries that have not yet been implemented.
Transplants without rejection and without reliance on donor quality
The use and applications of artificial cornea will be one of the central themes of the meeting of ESCRS. The cell culture techniques and recent advances in genetic engineering are making substantial progress in this field.
Thanks to the lamellar surgery, transplants can be made selective, by replacing only the damaged tissue and respecting the original structure of the cornea. For now, such transplants have worked only in superficial layers of the eye and the most posterior, but continue their study to encompass all layers of the cornea. To do this, plus the ability of the surgeon, are helpful new automated cutting devices, especially those based on femtosecond laser technology, allowing greater precision in cutting. The development and success of corneal tissue cultures are crucial to minimize the risk of rejection and greater independence of donations.
For the first time, attendees at this meeting may attend a series of direct interventions, made from three hospitals and clinics in Rome. Surgeons are mostly Italian and some international, including Dr. Jose Luis Güell, president-elect of the ESCRS.

Quit smoking and lose weight at the same time is possible with acupuncture
*
Numerous studies confirm the effectiveness of this ancient technique
in the fight against obesity and smoking
The Christmas season traditionally leads to an increase in the number of dinners, catering and, in general, higher intake of food and alcoholic beverages. The result: a weight gain. The scale marks a kilo more to be lost but, yes, always a healthy way. However, nobody likes to go hungry and it is difficult to reduce the amount of food overnight. If we add that many people take advantage of quit dates, which means gain weight, in some cases quite significantly, the question arises how can you lose weight and quit smoking without causing the syndrome abstinence without going hungry? Acupuncture is the answer.
For years, know the pernicious effects of snuff. Psychopharmacological properties of nicotine are similar to other psychostimulant drugs of abuse such as amphetamines and cocaine. According to Dr. Beltrán Carrillo, Geriatrics and Medical Acupuncture specialist who has been engaged as such for the past 15 years, all these drugs produce excitement and stimulation of motor activity when administered to experimental animals so as to humans.
Most smokers have a desire to stop smoking, everyone is aware of the risks to their health, but many fear the withdrawal no longer be able to get it, so continually postponing the final moment will dispense of snuff. Still, 60% of smokers tried to quit once, but only between 3% and 5% of smokers and make attempts to quit, successfully achieves. This low rate may be partly explained, said Dr. Carrillo, by the fact that most quit attempts are performed without assistance, based on willpower.
Thus, any time is ideal for stop smoking, even at the risk of increasing extra kilos, because the benefits are greater. However, it need not happen this weight gain is more, you can lose weight by eliminating the anxiety of withdrawal and if you start a diet together with a tool to prevent hunger, a part of performing some form of exercise.
In this sense, it is noteworthy that obesity is a problem concerning energy balance, ie, it is that these people consume more energy than they consume, leading to increased body fat and, therefore, weight. It is also a fact that there are increasing numbers of obese, both in the adult population in children.
Hence the importance of losing the extra kilos when no cause for concern-not to speak of the need to lose when they really are, because, apart from the aesthetic and social problem that can lead to depressive disorders and even reaches lead to suicidal tendencies, is a frequent cause of vascular diseases, including diseases include coronary, stroke and hypertension. They can also lead to the development of type 2 diabetes, the incidence, according to Dr. Beltrán Carrillo, has increased significantly over the past 30 years increasing the risk of blindness, kidney disease, heart failure, stroke and death. Also, being overweight is associated with the development of many types of cancer and greater and more rapid degeneration of joints.
How to quit smoking and lose weight without going hungry anxiety?
Acupuncture is being used increasingly more frequently to discuss problems related to drug dependence, among which is the snuff. In the early '70s, and began to study the effects that this technique was beneficial in alleviating symptoms associated with opioid dependence. He soon began to publish results of treatments for detoxification of snuff from different areas. In this regard, stresses the review carried out in the early 80s, over 10,000 patients and included 84 publications. In it, acupuncture was positive in 60% of cases. These figures are kept in various descriptive studies conducted since then.
In this sense, says Dr. Beltran Carrillo, the results of acupuncture are as effective as other methods, but with fewer side effects. He adds that in his clinical experience, the effects of this technique are more effective, achieving, most often, the smoker remains neutral with regard to snuff and to reach the desired result in less time. That is, a smoker can be left with only three sessions of acupuncture.
Abandonment of this dependence, it helps to maintain a balanced diet, nutritious and adequate calories for the proper functioning of the body. Therefore, it is a good time to lose weight, preventing weight gain that occurs when you quit. To do this, you need to make a lower energy intake that allows the fat loss, which must also be reconciled with the individual's social life, educate them to change their eating patterns and not get hungry.
Here, is where acupuncture shows its effectiveness. A necessary condition to continue a reduced calorie diet long enough to reach the desired weight is that the person still gets to control his appetite. As says Dr. Carrillo, whether to follow a diet to lose weight, the patient is hungry and has poor concentration, moodiness, it is likely to abandon treatment before the goal. The diet have to lose weight, but have no effect on appetite suppressant.
The mechanisms by which acupuncture achieved suppress appetite are based on changes in neuronal activity in the hypothalamus, leading to an increased feeling of satiety, and increased levels of serotonin, which is involved in the control of eating behavior and body weight in the central nervous system. Stimulating this neurotransmitter (monoamine), reduces food intake, increases energy expenditure and increases intestinal motility.
In short, according to Dr. Carrillo: Acupuncture is a painless technique, atraumatic, without side effects, and effective and efficient to keep getting addicted to nicotine neutral with regard to snuff, especially in smokers motivated to leave this pernicious dependence. And also get optimum results in slimming diets to suppress appetite.
