Anatomical zone where more injuries occur in four different dance styles: Hip-Hop, Classical Ballet, Contemporary dance and Irish dancing: a systematic review.
Get PDFIntroduction: To this date there is no systematic study that reviews which anatomical zone has a higher incidence of injuries in four different dance styles: hip-hop, classical ballet, contemporary dance, and Irish dancing. Objective: Summarize and determine the incidence of injuries by anatomical zones in elite, pre-professional and professional dancers who practice one of the following dance styles: ballet, contemporary dance, hip-hop and Irish dancing. Methods: Articles were searched according to the following criteria: year of publication (between 2016 and 2022), observational and cohort studies published in English, full text available, and analysis of the incidence of injuries in the dance styles of hip-hop, classical ballet, contemporary dance, and Irish dancing. MESH terms and Boolean operators used for the search were “injury AND dancers AND incidence”. Data sources: Databases used were ProQuest, Pubmed, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Clinical Key and ScienceDirect. Results: A total of 511 records were identified, and only 19 were included for the analysis. The results of the reviewed literature revealed that the ankle was the anatomical zone with the highest incidence to suffer an injury (62.9%), overuse injuries had a higher incidence rate (63%), and the joint/ligament was the most common musculoskeletal type of injury (36.84%). Conclusion: Overall, the lower extremity had the highest injury incidence rate; even though the four different dance styles have different techniques and biomechanics, the most reported anatomical zone to suffer an injury was the ankle.Introducción: Actualmente no existe una revisión sistemática cuyo enfoque sea identificar qué zona anatómica tiene mayor incidencia a lesiones al practicar cuatro estilos diferentes de danza: hip-hop, ballet clásico, danza contemporánea y danza irlandesa. Objetivo: Determinar y resumir la incidencia de lesiones por zonas anatómicas en bailarines semi-profesionales y profesionales que practican alguno de los siguientes estilos de danza: ballet, danza contemporánea, hip-hop y danza irlandesa. Métodos: Los artículos se seleccionaron de acuerdo con los siguientes criterios: año de publicación (entre 2016 y 2022), estudios observacionales de cohorte en idioma inglés, texto completo disponible y análisis de la zona anatómica con mayor incidencia a lesiones en uno de los cuatro estilos de danza mencionados anteriormente. Los términos MESH y operadores booleanos utilizados para la búsqueda fueron, “lesiones Y bailarines Y incidencia”. Fuentes de información: Proquest, Pubmed, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Clinical Key, ScienceDirect. Resultados: Un total de 511 artículos fueron identificados, de los cuales solo 19 fueron incluidos en el análisis. El resultado de la literatura analizada reveló que el tobillo es la zona anatómica con mayor incidencia de lesión (62.9%), las lesiones crónicas y de sobreuso presentan una mayor tasa de incidencia (63%) y el tipo de lesión musculoesquelética más común es el del ligamento/articulación (36.84%). Conclusión: La extremidad inferior tuvo la mayor tasa de incidencia de lesiones. A pesar de que los cuatro estilos de danza seleccionados tienen una técnica y una biomecánica distinta, la zona anatómica que reporta mayor incidencia a sufrir una lesión es el tobillo

La adherencia terapéutica en pacientes con enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles: diabetes, hipertensión y obesidad
Get PDFBackground. Chronic non-communicable diseases, particularly diabetes, hypertension and obesity, are diseases whose prevalence worldwide and in Mexico have taken on pandemic dimensions, since, despite the different clinical models of care applied, which are mainly based on nutritional and pharmacological treatments and lifestyle change recommendations, prevalence continues to grow. Identifying patient and health system barriers that affect the- rapeutic adherence for disease control will allow the development the development of programs with greater effectiveness and efficiency. Objective: To carry out a review on the barriers of Therapeutic Adherence of patients with diabetes, hypertension and obesity in first level care clinics. Method: Bibliographic review, searching the PubMed, Science Direct, Springer, Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Google Scholar databases. Three types of primary sources were reviewed: systematic reviews, clinical trials, and review articles. For the search strategy, the terms Therapeutic adherence, barriers to therapeutic adherence, chronic non-communicable diseases, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension were used. The period selected for the bibliographic review is from 2005 to 2020. Results: There are different barriers to compliance with therapeutic adherence that do not allow the control of the disease. These barriers may be specific to the patient, but also specific to the health system that provides the service, emphasizing the role of physicians in educating and guiding the patient regarding their disease and helping to adhere to it. To identify these barriers, there are different instruments, which have been designed for different diseases, so to select the appropriate one, the disease and the profile of the population in which the questionnaire will be applied must be considered.Antecedentes. Las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles, en particular la diabetes, hipertensión y obesidad son enfermedades cuya prevalencia a nivel mundial, y también en México, ha tomado dimensiones de pandemia, ya que, pese a los diferentes modelos clínicos de atención aplicados, los cuales se basan principalmente en tratamientos nutricionales, farmacológicos y recomendaciones de cambio de estilo de vida, la prevalencia continúa creciendo. Identificar las barreras de los pacientes y del sistema de salud que afectan la adherencia terapéutica para el control de la enfermedad permitirá desarrollar modelos con mayor efectividad y eficacia. Objetivo. Realizar una revisión sobre las barreras de la adherencia terapéutica de pacientes con diabetes, hipertensión y obesidad en clínicas de atención de primer nivel. Método. Revisión bibliográfica, con búsquedas en las siguientes bases de datos: PubMed, Science Direct, Springer, Biblioteca Virtual en Salud (BVS) y Google Scholar. Se revisaron fuentes primarias de tres tipos: revisiones sistemáticas, ensayos clínicos y artículos de revisión. Para la estrategia de búsqueda se utilizaron estos términos: adherencia terapéutica, barreras de la adherencia terapéutica, enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles, diabetes, obesidad, hipertensión. El periodo seleccionado para la revisión bibliográfica es el comprendido entre el 2005 y el 2020. Resultados. Para el cumplimiento de la adherencia terapéutica existen diferentes barreras que no permiten el control de la enfermedad. Estas barreras pueden ser propias del paciente, pero también propias del sistema de salud que otorga el servicio, enfatizando el papel de los médicos para educar y orientar al paciente con respecto a su enfermedad y coadyuvar a su adherencia. Para identificar estas barreras existen diferentes instrumentos, los cuales han sido diseñados para diferentes enfermedades, por lo que para seleccionar el adecuado se debe considerar la enfermedad y el perfil de la población en la que se aplicará el cuestionario
Técnicas de reproducción asistida para todas las mujeres e igualdad. ¿Cuestión de derecho o de justicia? Análisis del contexto francés
Get PDFThe New bioethics law in France, proposed in 2019 and approved by the National Assembly on June 29, 2021, makes in its first article, concerning the art (Artificial Reproductive Technology), modifications to article L. 2141-2 and L.2141-3 of the law No. 2011-814 of July 7, 2011 relating to bioethics. It thus opens the way to “any couple formed by a man or a woman or by two women or any unmarried woman”. As a result, the link between law and bioethics is disrupted. While the law must protect the individual interest, bioethics reminds the law that the common good must also be protected. Hence the following questions that arise following this new bioethics law: is ART a right for all? Is it legitimate to claim it in the name of equality? What about justice? In this article, I would like to approach the subject from a bio-legal point of view by situating the problem within the framework of the philosophy of law.La nueva ley de bioética en Francia, propuesta en 2019 y aprobada por la Asamblea Nacional el 29 de junio de 2021, introduce en su artículo primero, relativo a las Tecnologías de Reproducción Artificial (ART por sus siglas en inglés), modificaciones al artículo L. 2141-2 y L. 2141-3 de la ley número 2011-814 de 7 de julio de 2011 relativa a la bioética. Abre así el camino a “cualquier pareja formada por un hombre o una mujer o por dos mujeres o cualquier mujer soltera”. Como resultado, se rompe el vínculo entre el derecho y la bioética. Mientras que el derecho debe proteger el interés individual, la bioética le recuerda al derecho que también debe protegerse el bien común. De ahí las siguientes interrogantes que surgen a raíz de esta nueva ley de bioética: ¿las ART son un derecho para todos? ¿Es legítimo reivindicarlo en nombre de la igualdad? ¿Qué pasa con la justicia? En este artículo me gustaría abordar el tema desde un punto de vista biojurídico, situando el problema en el marco de la filosofía del derecho

Prediabetic patients evaluated with Quantose™ IR and their relationship with anthropometric measurements through bioelectrical impedance analysis
Get PDFIntroduction: New metabolomic biomarkers as Quantose™ IR and anthropometric measurements using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) provide relevant information on patients with insulin resistance and prediabetes. QuantoseTM IR is a novel metabolomic test to assess insulin resistance for screening and monitoring. Establishing a correlation between these variables is useful in clinical practice and, to our knowledge, there are no published studies that explore the relationship between Quantose™ IR and anthropometric measurements using BIA in patients with prediabetes. Objective: To evaluate the correlation between Quantose™ IR and BIA anthropometric variables (fat mass, FM; fat mass index, FMI; and body mass index, BMI) in Mexican patients with prediabetes, overweight, and obesity. Materials and Methods: This is an observational, transversal analytic study in 135 patients of both genders between 20 and 65 years of age, BMI 25.0–34.9, with diagnosis of prediabetes. The Quantose™ IR test was performed as well as anthropometric measurements (FM, FMI, and BMI) using BIA taken with Inbody 230TM. Pearson’s correlations and independent sample t-tests were estimated with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: 135 patients were studied; 77% were female, aged 46 years in average. The prevalence of insulin resistance by Quantose™ IR was 71.1%. A positive correlation was confirmed between Quantose™ IR and FM, FMI, and BMI (p < 0.05). Patients with altered Quantose™ IR had higher FM, FMI, and BMI (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The data here presented confirm the existence of a positive and statistically significant correlation between Quantose™ IR and anthropometric measurements using BIA. This information may be useful for diagnosis and treatment in prediabetic, overweight, and obese patients.Introduction: New metabolomic biomarkers as Quantose™ IR and anthropometric measurements using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) provide relevant information on patients with insulin resistance and prediabetes.
