Utilidad de las curas locales tras dacriocistorrinostomía láser

Introduction and objectivesEpiphora caused by nasolacrimal drainage system obstruction is the main indication for dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). So are chronic conjunctivitis and dacryocystitis from the same origin. Nasal endoscopy and the introduction of laser assisted DCR have facilitated the performance of the technique. However, it requires complex and expensive equipment, so there are still supporters of the traditional external procedure.The aim of this work was to study the effectiveness and usefulness of local postoperative care in laser DCR final result.Material and methodsWe studied a group of 96 patients diagnosed with epiphora secondary to stenosis-occlusion of the nasolacrimal duct. Of these, 32 patients underwent surgery in both eyes, making a total of 128 cases. The surgery was performed in a private setting between January 1999 and December 2008. The 128 cases were divided into 2 groups: 59 cases in which between 4 and 6 postoperative cures were given in the 2 months following the surgery, and another group of 69 cases in which a single cure was given approximately 7 days after surgery. The final assessment of the outcome of the intervention was done in all cases between 24-30 months after surgery.ResultsIn 27 cases out of 128 (79% success), there was a restenosis of tear drainage. No statistically significant differences were found between the 2 groups.ConclusionsIn the sample of patients that were intervened using laser assisted DCR, implementation of postoperative cure was irrelevant in the success of the intervention.

Promoting fit bodies,healthy eating and physical activity among Indigenous Australian men: a study protocol

Background  

Overall the physical health of Indigenous men is among the worst in Australia. Research has indicated that modifiable lifestyle factors, such as poor nutrition and physical inactivity, appear to contribute strongly to these poor health conditions. To effectively develop and implement strategies to improve the health of Australia's Indigenous peoples, a greater understanding is needed of how Indigenous men perceive health, and how they view and care for their bodies. Further, a more systematic understanding of how sociocultural factors affect their health attitudes and behaviours is needed. This article presents the study protocol of a community-based investigation into the factors surrounding the health and body image of Indigenous Australian men.
