[Analysis of cardiovascular risk factors in the stroke code. An approach in advanced ages.].

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in 153 patients who had suffered a stroke in the province of Ourense and where the stroke code had been activated.Its realization is part of the purpose of the authors to influence chronic pathology to prevent this specific event.

Methods: A longitudinal, retrospective and observational study was applied to 153 patients with a mean age of 76±12 years who had presented some type of stroke.

A single-blind, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) in Overactive Bladder symptoms in women responders to percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS).

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) compared to percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in sustaining symptom improvement over a 6-month period in women with idiopathic Overactive Bladder (OAB) who had responded to an initial 12-week course of PTNS.

Design: Randomized, active-controlled trial.

Participants: Twenty-four women diagnosed with idiopathic OAB successfully treated with PTNS were included in this study.
