The shock produced by any cause can lead, depending on their causes, a mortality rate ranging between 60 and 100%. However, so far in Spain do not have national data on the socio-impact of this disorder. Thus the Shock Group of the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine and Emergency (SEMES) has begun work to carry out a comprehensive registration of patients attending emergency departments and hospital-acquired extra criteria of an earlier stage shock.
As explained by the coordinator of this working group SEMES, Ana Maria Ship Serrano, the aim is not only counting and understanding of cases of shock in our country, but rather to prevent those patients at high risk of developing this disorder get to experience it, with its consequent impact on morbidity and mortality. Therefore, as stressed by this expert, as there are no data on them collected in the Spanish territory, is the first study of this nature in our country.
The work, which has now begun collecting data, is a prospective, multicenter (14 centers throughout Spain). Until March this record will be included in any type of shock, including cardiogenic. It has scheduled the release of the main results of data collection in the National Congress SEMES (June) and at the European Congress of Emergency (September).
He has compiled a table of information gathering, in the
which takes into account data on personal background, family, initial symptoms and diagnostic times. In addition, provide additional evidence that should be performed in the early diagnosis, including ultrasound is portable, since these are patients who are cared for in both the extra urgency as hospital.
Our goal as a group of well-known shock is precisely this condition and prevent the patient comes to developing, a difficult challenge given the different types of shock with which we face. In this context, says Dr. Navio, portable ultrasound has emerged as an indispensable diagnostic tool, is essential in preventing the progression to shock many people.
Ultrasound in Emergency Services is justified by the emergency physician can quickly find answers to key questions that enable the best possible guide diagnosis and patient management. This is facilitated by the availability of portable ultrasound equipment. Its versatility and portability, together with its high and varied services, have positive clinical consequences. In the hospital setting, because these teams can decide quickly between observation versus urgent surgery or hospitalization versus outpatient follow-up on the other hand, in pre-hospital emergency services, having a portable ultrasound device is intended to aid diagnosis provide the best possible guidance to a share of a hospital, service or specialist determined.
In the study R.E.S.H. with ultrasound is provided by the company SonoSite Ibérica, which recently has been marketed in Spain portable ultrasound S-FAST ultrasound the first product designed exclusively to meet the viewing needs of the emergency physician and represents a radical change in the field of ultrasound.

The Tempur-Pedic mattresses Inc. help reduce sleep disturbances in Alzheimer's patients.
*
Minimizing these changes could address the family members caring for the sick in their own homes, without having to resort to specialized centers.
Tempur-Pedic International, Inc., a global leader in the manufacture and distribution of mattresses and pillows, high-end visco-elastic material, has reported the results of a recent study focusing on older people, mostly Alzheimer's or dementia senile, which concludes with a general demonstration of improvement during sleep on a Tempur mattress range.
This paper, drawn from random samples, checked and commissioned by Tempur-Pedic Medical Inc., and directed by one of the top research universities in the United States has used tools ABID (a scientific scale to assess the reaction agitated behaviors in dementia) and sleep disorders Inventory Cohen-Mansfield (CMAI) to compare levels of disturbance between two groups of nursing home residents diagnosed with mild to severe Alzheimer's. Seniors who had rested on Tempur-Pedic mattresses showed a greater reduction in levels of impairment than those fed on other viscoelastic products.
In their conclusions, the researchers suggested that, in addition to usual medical treatment, environmental factors such as the use of Tempur-Pedic mattresses, may offer an additional benefit to Alzheimer's patients by the significant reduction in sleep disturbance that occurs. These results were presented in a recent major conference on Gerontology to be explained and addressed by the scientific medical community. According to the Association of Alzheimer patients, symptoms such as impaired or sleep disturbances are among the most characteristic of the disease and are definitive factors when deciding on the fate of a loved one for it to be cared for by a residential service .
Patients were randomly sleep on mattresses Tempur-Pedic rested in a more comfortable and were less likely to wake up at midnight or be restless during the day, said Paul Coulis, President of Tempur-Pedic Medical Inc. These results are particularly significant when one considers that the mere fact of using this product can be assumed that a family care at home for a loved one suffering from Alzheimer's. Have fewer problems in this type of behavior can delay or even eliminate the need to join someone in a nursing home or other institution.
The Tempur-Pedic beds are temperature sensitive, breathable and viscoelastic material. These properties allow the material to remain firm and strong where it needs to be soft where needed, creating a setting for each individual. Using the weight and heat to distribute pressure over the entire surface, the bed automatically adjusts to the body, providing support for a full night's rest.

Influenza in children serves as a gateway to severe complications in elderly people.
· The lifestyle changes that grandparents do maintain permanent contact with their grandchildren, increasing infection rates.
· Ten per cent of the pneumonias are caused by the influenza virus. In the elderly are given pneumonia by influenza virus and bacteria that infect the lung secondarily.
· Influenza epidemics usually begin in Asia and Europe that travel falling from north to south, increasing the reaction time margin of the orbit Mediterranean countries.
· Commit the respiratory complications of cardiovascular disease course bringing the morbidity and mortality.
Influenza in children has become the gateway of influenza and other viral infections in elderly people through changes in lifestyle. This is the main conclusion from the musings of Victor Bustamante, a member of the Epidemiology Service of Hospital de Basurto, and rapporteur for a new meeting of the initiative informative meetings with health, sponsored by the Academy of Medical Sciences Bilbao and the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry of the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU). This is the starting point of the conference was given this afternoon at the Library of Bidebarrieta which will show that continuous contact of grandchildren and grandparents, led by the narrowness of hours for parents, increases the risk of diseases jumping virus from childhood to old age.
Victor Bustamante warns that it is a contrasting epidemiological evidence that viral epidemics reach society through the children. At the time of concretion in percentages, the specialist notes that some 65 per cent of the cases is the child who introduced the virus into their environment. A study based on observation concludes that two or three weeks after hatching, the respiratory disease hit the jump to adults, especially in regard to respiratory disorders.
It is not a minor issue. Not surprisingly, the morbidity and mortality of elderly people who have respiratory problems are significant. Thus, an influenza epidemic in children, which is resolved with conventional treatment, can become a health problem uppercase. In this risk group of seniors must be added that of the chronically ill, a type of patients also sensitized to this epidemic.
Prevention is looming, then, as the most effective remedy to prevent the spread of the virus. Vaccination of risk groups of people with chronic disease and over 65 years-is the most recommendable. Recall, the expert points out, that breathing problems are added, usually, the heart of the difficulties older people, as extreme risk. The increased mortality in this population that is observed in winter dates has to do with the assault by respiratory viruses.
Not enough to undertake preventive vaccination campaign. Victor Bustamante recommends an intensive surveillance campaign that emphasizes the type of vaccine efficacy. It is known that influenza epidemics usually begin in Asia and Europe that travel falling from north to south, increasing the reaction time margin of the orbit Mediterranean countries.
The situation is aggravated low temperatures of the harsh winter, while Victor Bustamante believes that the virulence of the virus this year is larger than previous courses. It happens, though, that the cold exacerbates the potential complications and increases the morbidity and mortality of the disease and the onset of pneumonia.
It is not a minor issue. The flu and colds directly affect previous complications. On several occasions, stressed the specialist, are increased heart attacks, strokes and blood clots. Cardiovascular disease suffer significantly if associated with respiratory difficulties. It is true that each year patients die directly from flu, but many more who, with other diseases, died with her.

Medbook, new social network for Health Professionals.
In line with the latest Internet trend toward greater interactivity for users to each other and to publish content, PortalesMedicos.com, the premier Spanish Medicine has launched a new concept: the vertical social network aimed at professionals health.
With the name Medbook (www.medbook.es) has launched this new product in the portal network of Medicine and aims to be a meeting point for professionals in the Hispanic Health through its services free discussion forums, blogs, publishing videos and photos), chat, create buddy lists with internal communication (private messages) or external (message board), working groups created by users on Health issues, information about events (conferences, courses, meetings, etc.).
Medbook The environment is very intuitive and easy to use, as evidenced by the fact that most users create your account and within seconds begin to upload photos, videos or comments, and interact with other professionals.
The host of this new service between PortalesMedicos.com users has exceeded all expectations with over 800 profiles created in the early days of existence. Thus, they can read between the pages of Medbook initiatives of interest among professionals from different branches of healthcare, such as the group Critical and emergency prehospital or reunions curious cases among professionals as they had lost contact each other.
Although initially the profile of the active members of the network was the youngest population (very accustomed to handling and social networks and new technologies and therefore capable of greater speed to maximize time the functions of the network), the generations of older professionals are also discovering, with some surprise at times, a new Internet usage, which combines medical science with social contact. This synergy between generations leads to a true exchange that unites the medical expertise of more experienced professionals with the ability to intuitively discover the functions of the social network that spontaneously presented the new generation of professionals, all embodied in the chat rooms, forums, individual comments and blogs.
As in the rest of PortalesMedicos.com services, the management team is fully integrated Medbook among users, in order to maintain dialogue and communication to evolve in line marking system users. Given the characteristics of this social network, this direct contact is more fluid than ever, so that users themselves are actively involved in the evolution of the network by their criticisms and suggestions.

Sexual Stimulants for Women
By:
Patti Britton
Question :
I've heard a lot of talk about the sexual stimulant Vigorex Femme, but how safe is it? I am interested in trying it, but there has to be some possible side effects -- like they say, when something sounds to good to be true it usually is! --N
Answer :
Dear N:
There are many so-called natural sexual stimulants in the marketplace today. Vigorex Femme is one of the legitimate ones. I did some of the original clinical research on this homeopathic product. It's natural and safe and can be effective for men and women depending on certain factors. It's made of extract of green oats, which works to unbind the body's testosterone. I also like an equivalent product called Allurex, which is available on my site.
I also recommend two other natural sexual enhancement products. Their formulations are based on modern sexological science and the ancient science of Chinese herbal medicine fused with new biomedical techniques. The product for men is Top Gun. It's an all-natural, safe herbal formulation, clinically tested and now being taken by thousands of men nationwide. The female product, Sensativa, is still in clinical trials. These products are both aphrodisiacs and sexual stimulants, and unlike other sexual enhancement supplements they nourish and strengthen the body for greater sexual health and well-being. To order these products, call 1-888-633-7768. For participation in the clinical trials, send an email to me at info@www.yoursexcoach.com.
The side effects of all of these products are similar to the negative effects from being too sexually aroused without an appropriate outlet. Unless you have an outlet for the release of sexual tension or energy, including self-pleasuring, these products may not work for your personal needs. Occasionally there have also been reports of agitation, nervousness and slight headaches, all of which are often cured by a good orgasm. There are no reported medical side effects. Keep in mind that these products do not work for everyone. For that reason, be sure to make sure that whatever type of product you order offers a money-back guarantee. To be on the safe side, also be sure to ask your doctor before taking natural supplements of any kind, especially if you are taking medications or have a known medical condition. And always look for products backed by experts with solid credentials and medical clinical trials to validate their claims.
