Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN): Acute complications and long-term sequelae management in a multidisciplinary follow-up.

Background: Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a devastating exfoliative disorder with life-changing complications. This study aimed to identify acute complications and long-term sequelae of TEN and to highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary management follow-up.

Methods: A 19-year (1998-2016) retrospective review of all patients with TEN admitted to Cruces University Hospital´s Burns Unit was performed.

[Experience with the use of the bio-active stent coated with titanium nitric oxide compared with zotarolimus-eluting stent: experience of a unit medical high specialty].

Unlabelled: The use of coronary stents in coronary angioplasty has evolved dramatically in its design, type materials, polymers, and a variety of drugs, the use of coronary stents covered nitric oxide have shown satisfactory results in practice, however compared to the results reported drug-eluting stents, there is little information.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of a stainless steel stent Bioactive nitric oxide coated titanium (BAS) and a drug-eluting stent zotarolimus (DES) in daily clinical practice.

Methods: A retrospective, analytical, descriptive and comparative study aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of two devices with different characteristics in our population.

A gap exists between patients' and professionals' views.

Development and spatial representation of synthetic indexes of outpatient mental health care in Andalusia (Spain).

Introduction: There is a need to develop composite indicators to monitor mental health care in countries such as Spain, where there is wide variability of care systems in 17 different regions. The aim of this study is to generate and to test the usability of synthetic indexes in Andalusia (Southern Spain).

Method: Seven mental health indicators were selected by expert opinion from a previous list of simple indicators used to compare mental health care systems across Spain (Psicost-74).
