This is the first national guidance on the prevention, identification, assessment and management of overweight and obesity in adults and children in England and Wales. The guidance aims to:
• stem the rising prevalence of obesity and diseases associated with it
• increase the effectiveness of interventions to prevent overweight and obesity
• improve the care provided to adults and children with obesity, particularly in primary care.
| Translation - Spanish
Esta es la primera guia Nacional para la prevención, identificación, evaluación y manejo del sobrepeso y obesidad en adultos y niños de Inglaterra. La guía tratará de:
1. Resaltar el aumento en la prevalencia de la obesidad y de las enfermedades relacionadas con esta condición.
2. Aumentar la efectividad de las intervenciones para prevenir el sobrepeso y la obesidad.
3. Mejorar el cuidado administrado a los pacientes adultos y menores que sufren obesidad, particularmente en el cuidado primario. | | English to Spanish: rotavirus vaccination | Source text - English
Two doses of the live attenuated G1P human rotavirus (HRV) vaccine are highly efficacious in protecting infants against severe rotavirus gastroenteritis, a phase-3 trial of the vaccine has shown. The vaccine also significantly reduced the rate of severe gastroenteritis from any cause and was not associated with increased risk of intussusception. The trial, in healthy 6- to 13-week-old Latin-American and Finnish infants, comprised 63,000 infants who were studied for vaccine safety; of this group, 20,000 also were evaluated for vaccine efficacy. Infants received the first oral dose of HRV vaccine or placebo at approximately 2 months of age; the second dose, at approximately 4 months. The two groups were followed for a median of 100 days from the first dose to assess adverse events (safety surveillance period) and for nine to 10 months to assess efficacy. | Translation - Spanish
Un estudio clínico de fase 3 ha mostrado que dos dosis, de la vacuna viva atenuada humana G1P contra el rotavirus (RV), son altamente eficaces en la protección de los niños contra la gastroenteritis severa por rotavirus. La vacuna también redujo, de forma significativa, la tasa de gastroenteritis severa de cualquier causa y no se asoció con un aumento en el riesgo de intususcepción. El estudio, llevado a cabo en niños saludables latinoamericanos y finlandeses, de 6 a 13 semanas de edad, incluyó a 63000 niños que fueron evaluados en cuanto a la seguridad de la vacuna; de este grupo, 20000 niños fueron también evaluados en cuanto a la eficacia de la vacuna.. Los niños recibieron la primera dosis oral de la vacuna de RV o placebo proximadamente a los 2 meses de edad; la segunda dosis, aproximadamente a los 4 meses. Los dos grupos se siguieron por una mediana de 100 días, a partir de la primera dosis, para evaluar los eventos adversos (el periodo de vigilancia de seguridad) y durante nueve a diez meses para evaluar la eficacia. | | English to Spanish: Panic disorder | Source text - English
Pharmacotherapy
Since Donald Klein first described the efficacy of the tricyclic antidepressant imipramine for blocking panic attacks in 1964, many studies have recorded the efficacy of most antidepressants in panic disorder. Benzodiazepines are another effective medication currently available. Other treatments with theoretically relevant mechanisms of action (eg, corticotropin-releasing-factor receptor-1 antagonists) are still in development. The aim of pharmacotherapy is not only to prevent the occurrence of panic attacks, but also to reduce or eliminate associated anticipatory anxiety, phobic avoidance, and other symptoms due to comorbid conditions such as major depression.
Currently, SSRIs are the preferred treatment for panic disorder, on the basis of many positive placebo-controlled, randomised trials supporting the efficacy of six different drugs—fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, paroxetine, citalopram, and escitalopram. Meta-analyses and reviews, focusing on several of these agents have reported medium to large effect sizes compared with placebo. Most trials have been short term, although several have examined and confirmed longer-term efficacy of up to 1 year. These compounds are also effective for associated mood and other anxiety disorders. Therapeutic response in panic disorder is a class effect, which is common to all the SSRIs, with no evidence of differential efficacy within the class.
Placebo-controlled trials also support the efficacy for an extended-release form of venlafaxine in panic disorder. Either efficacy findings are absent (eg, for duloxetine, mirtazapine, nefazodone) or evidence indicates a low efficacy (eg, for trazodone, bupropion) for other second-generation antidepressants. The older class of tricyclic antidepressants, although associated with more side-effects, includes drugs that are both less expensive and similarly effective than newer classes of antidepressants, with many studies indicating efficacy for imipramine, desipramine, clomipramine, nortriptyline, and amitriptyline. | Translation - Spanish
Tratamiento Farmacológico
Desde que Donald Klein, en 1964, describió la eficacia de la imipramina (antidepresivo tricíclico) en bloquear los ataques de pánico, muchos estudios han mostrado la eficacia de la mayoría de antidepresivos en esta condicióm clínica. Las benzodiacepinas son otra medicación efectiva, que se encuentra actualmente disponible. Existen otros tratamientos en desarrollo, que tienen mecanismos de acción teóricamente eficaces: por ejemplo, antagonistas del receptor del factor liberador de corticotropina. El objetivo de la farmacoterapia no es solo el de prevenir la presentación de ataques de pánico, sino el de eliminar o reducir la ansiedad anticipatoria, la evitación fóbica y otros de los síntomas ocasionados por condiciones asociadas, tales como la depresión mayor. Actualmente, los inhibidores selectivos de la recaptación de serotonina (ISRS) son el tratamiento preferido del trastorno de pánico; lo anterior esta basado en muchos estudios aleatorizados y controlados por placebo, que soportan la eficacia de 6 medicamentos: fluoxetina, fluvoxamina, sertralina, paroxetina, citalopram y escitalopram. Los meta-análisis y revisiones desarrollados con estos medicamentos han reportado efectos medios y grandes, al compararlos con placebo. La mayoría de estudios ha sido de corta duración; sin embargo, varios han evaluado la eficacia a largo plazo (de hasta un año de duración). Estos compuestos también son efectivos en trastornos afectivos y de ansiedad, que puedan estar asociados a la condición clínica. La respuesta terapéutica en el trastorno de pánico es de clase, sin evidencia de eficacia diferencial dentro de ella.
Los estudios controlados por placebo también soportan la eficacia de la venlafaxina de liberación sostenida. En algunos antidepresivos de segunda generación no existen hallazgos de evidencia (eg, duloxetina, mirtazapina, nefazodone), y en otros la evidencia demuestra eficacia baja (eg, trazodone, bupropion).
Los antidepresivos tricíclicos, aunque tienen más efectos secundarios, son menos costosos y tienen una eficacia similar a la de la nueva clase de antidepresivos; varios estudios muestran la eficacia de la imipramina, desipramina, clomipramina, nortriptilina y amitriptilina.
| | English to Spanish: Urinary Incontinence | Source text - English
Most patients with any degree of urinary incontinence will have symptoms that point to stress incontinence, urge incontinence or mixed incontinence. The symptom of
stress urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine accompanying sudden increases in intra-abdominal pressure (i.e., “stress”); this loss is sudden, coincident with the stressor and usually without warning. Urge incontinence occurs when an overwhelming urge to void results in leakage of urine; about half of all patients with overactive bladder syndrome experience urge incontinence. Mixed incontinence is the concurrence of stress and urge incontinence symptoms.
As the bladder fills, sensory afferent signals are carried via the pelvic and hypogastric nerves to the spinal cord, where they are relayed to the pontine micturition centre via the lateral spinothalamic tracts and dorsal columns.
| Translation - Spanish
La mayoría de los pacientes con algún grado de incontinencia tendrá síntomas que apuntan a incontinencia de esfuerzo, de urgencia o mixta. El síntoma de la incontinencia de esfuerzo es la perdida involuntaria de orina que acompaña a los aumentos súbitos de la presión intra-abdominal (ie, estrés o esfuerzo); la perdida es súbita y no da aviso.
La incontinencia de urgencia se presenta cuando se experimenta urgencia irresistible de orinar, la cual ocasiona perdida de orina. Casi la mitad de los pacientes con síndrome de vejiga hiperactiva experimentan este tipo de incontinencia.
La incontinencia mixta es la presentación de síntomas tanto de incontinencia de esfuerzo como de urgencia.
A medida que la vejiga se llena, se envían señales sensoriales aferentes a la medula espinal, las cuales son transportadas por los nervios pélvico e hipogástrico; en la médula, la señales se envían al centro pontino de la micción, a través del tracto espinotalámico lateral y las columnas dorsales.
| | English to Spanish: Prostatitis | Source text - English

Step-by-step instructions
XXXXXXX is typically applied every
three months, but can be used at shorter
intervals if necessary.
1. Clean tooth surfaces thoroughly using
Proxyt prophy paste. (Fig. 1).
2. Dry the teeth with cotton rolls and an
air syringe.

The new generation XXXXXX varnish
represents a significant improvement
from the original version. Both
the Multi Dose and Single Dose units
prevent the risk of cross contamination,
while the dropper tube makes it possible
to dispense the required amount of varnish
hygienically and economically. The
protective varnish significantly contributes
to keeping teeth, crown and bridge
work, and implants in good condition for
extended periods of time. | Translation - Spanish
