In the case of bone pain, the bone augmentation technique has become the first - line treatment in selected patients because of the stability it provides. Ultrasound and some regional anesthesia techniques are currently beneficial for treating chronic pain syndromes. Implantable therapy represents a permanent modality for the control of cancer pain through an intrathecal pump, that is to say, the patient is offered a lower dose of opioid in combination or not with local anesthetic and/or other adjuvants at a determined speed, which provides adequate pain relief and a decrease in opioid - induced adverse events. More recent techniques are beginning to be studied and generated evidence in patients with pain of cancer origin, for example, stimulation.","PeriodicalId":477756,"journal":{"name":"Latin american journal of clinical sciences and medical technology","volume":"111 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141683830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quality of medical care is parallel to the quality of laboratory results. Understanding the coagulation system is challenging and imperative; however, studying a patient in the laboratory is even more complicated. In Mexico, as in many developing countries, the coagulation laboratory is limited in infrastructure, and, in most cases, the laboratory professional is unaware of the biochemical, cellular, and clinical aspects required to lead this particular area of hematology. In the clinical laboratory, an accepted fact is that most of the mistakes that happen while studying the blood coagulation system occur during the preanalytical stage. However, many others could be avoided with an appropriate standardization of the technical procedures and a homogeneous interpretation between clinicians and laboratory professionals. This work aims to share a series of recommendations on very particular topics of the coagulation laboratory derived from a consensus of Mexican experts on the subject.","PeriodicalId":477756,"journal":{"name":"Latin american journal of clinical sciences and medical technology","volume":"218 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141692724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lipedema, a chronic adipose tissue disorder, poses challenges in its diagnosis and medical treatment. Despite affecting 11 - 20% of women, it often goes unnoticed due to its resemblance to other conditions. Current treatment options range from conservative approaches to surgical interventions, with liposuction the most effective. This article introduces the Namihira method, a minimally invasive medical technique challenging the traditional paradigm of lipedema treatment. Case Presentation. Four successful cases of patients treated with the Namihira method are presented following a lipedema diagnosis. These cases demonstrate the clinical benefits of the method: progressive reduction in pain, volume and improvement in texture, with a minimal recovery time. The average duration of the procedure was 150 minutes, and all patients resumed low - impact physical activities immediately. Results and Conclusions. The Namihira method offers significant medical and aesthetic results while minimizing complications. Results include a notable reduction in pain, decreased fat nodules, and a lower incidence of hematomas. Additionally, an average weight loss of up to 2.500 kg at the end of the protocol was observed. The method stands out for its accessibility, short procedure time, and lower costs, positioning it as a compelling therapeutic option for lipedema and localized adiposity. Nevertheless, more long - term research is required for this procedure.","PeriodicalId":477756,"journal":{"name":"Latin american journal of clinical sciences and medical technology","volume":"83 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140426859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Facial rejuvenation is currently a trend in aesthetic medicine and dermatology. The supralabial region is an area with significant aging changes, and there are only a few options for aesthetic treatments to improve the appearance of the skin. Some of them are the application of botulinum toxin, cross - linked and non - cross - linked hyaluronic acid, and apparatus. Thus, it is recommended to use a combined approach when treating this area. A new procedure is presented using hybrid hyaluronic acid complexes for the bioremodeling of supralabial skin. Objective. This prospective, non - comparative, uncontrolled study brings together a series of Mexican patients who were administered intradermal stabilized hyaluronic acid hybrid complexes in the supralabial region to investigate the effectiveness and safety of their use in this area in a protocolized manner. Material and Methods. Three visits were made, and digital photographs were taken in each one. The doctor evaluated the degree of fine supralabial wrinkles. The patient assessed the degree of pain during the procedure, and the patient and the doctor evaluated the degree of satisfaction after the procedure. Likewise, an independent specialist, not involved in treating the patients, carried out an evaluation. Adverse events that occurred during the study were documented. Results. The supralabial rhytides scale score improved from 5.5 at the initial visit to 3.3 at the end of treatment. The patient's GAIS (global aesthetic improvement scale assessment) rating with the treatment outcome at the final visit was 1.4, indicating very good satisfaction. Likewise, the GAIS classification of the treating physician at the end of treatment was very satisfactory, with 1.6. Discussion. According to the ratings obtained from the treating physician (GAIS and Likert), the patient himself (GAIS), and the independent researcher (Likert), this study demonstrated aesthetic improvement in the supralabial rhytides. No adverse events were reported with the treatment. Conclusions. The supralabial rhytides scale can be treated with hybrid hyaluronic acid complexes because they remodel the extracellular matrix and stimulate the cells of the three layers of skin.","PeriodicalId":477756,"journal":{"name":"Latin american journal of clinical sciences and medical technology","volume":"123 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140493577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four dermatology specialists in different cities in Mexico ran a prospective, open, multicenter study between April and October 2022. Material and Methods. Twenty - six women between 18 and 56 years old participated. The patients' weight was recorded, with an average of 63.2 kg. Regarding phototypes, 10 participants were type III, and 15 were type IV. The area affected by hyperpigmentation was evaluated, with the face being the most common, followed by the simultaneous involvement of the armpits and groin. The effect of the Pigmentbio® range on the Global Appearance Index (GAI) in different areas of the body was analyzed. Results. On the face, a progressive improvement in GAI was observed as treatment progressed. Similar results were found in the armpits and groin. Time and phototype significantly improved IGA, while age and weight did not show significance. GAI was evaluated in the same affected areas. The MELASQOL scale was used to assess patients' quality of life with melasma. The results indicated a decrease in GAI values after treatment in all areas studied. It was found that time, phototype, and age influenced dermatological quality of life. Conclusions. It is concluded that the protocol studied shows effectiveness in managing abnormal pigmentation; comparative studies are necessary.","PeriodicalId":477756,"journal":{"name":"Latin american journal of clinical sciences and medical technology","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140509700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
