Multi-institutional review of non-hypospadiac penile urethral stricture management and outcomes.

Objectives: Penile urethral stricture disease not associated with hypospadias is rare, and there is a wide range of commonly used surgical repair techniques for this disease. We sought to compile a multi-institutional database of patients who had surgical correction of strictures in the penile urethra not limited to the meatus, and who had no history of hypospadias, for analysis using the Trauma and Urologic Reconstructive Network of Surgeons length, urethral segment and etiology classification system.

Methods: A retrospective database from 13 institutions was compiled of patients who had undergone surgical correction of Trauma and Urologic Reconstructive Network of Surgeons length, urethral segment and etiology urethral stricture segments S2b/S2c and excluding E5, with a minimum follow-up time of 4 months.

Association of the IL6 rs1800796, but not of the IL6 rs1800795, IL6R rs4845617 and rs2228145 polymorphisms with hip fracture in elderly Mexican women.

Background And Aims: Polymorphisms in Interleukin-6 (IL6) and its receptor (IL6R) have been associated with bone mineral density. In this work, the G-174C and G-572C polymorphisms in IL6, G-208A, and Asp358Ala in IL6R were analyzed in Mexican women with hip fracture.

Methods: Postmenopausal Mexican women (60 years or over) with hip fragility fracture (77.

[Assessment and intervention thresholds to detect cases at risk of osteoporosis and fragility fractures with FRAX® in a mexican population for the first level of healthcare].

Objective: To estimate the evaluation and intervention thresholds using FRAX® in Mexican population.

Methods: Probabilities for a mayor fracture using the Mexican FRAX® version to estimate the evaluation and intervention thresholds using clinical scenarios were obtained in both sexes 40 years and over. Projections for 2020 were done to estimate the number of patients at the intervention level taking the osteoporosis prevalence in Mexicans aged 50 years and over.

Impact of osteoporosis-associated vertebral fractures on health-related quality of life in the Mexican population.

Objective: To measure the impact on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of a sample of Mexicans with vertebral fractures.

Material And Methods: One hundred fifteen subjects with vertebral fractures were interviewed and compared with 135 subjects similar in age without the fracture. Subjects were men and women > 50 years of age with osteoporosis confirmed by bone mineral densitometry and with at least 1 vertebral fracture verified by vertebral morphometry and Xrays.

Health-related quality of life after surgery for hip fracture: a multicentric study in Mexican population.

Introduction: Hip fractures are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and one of the main causes of disability in the older population. The lifetime risk for any type of osteoporotic fracture is very high and falls within the range of 40–-50% in women and 13–-22% for men. In Mexico, the lifetime likelihood of having a hip fracture at 50 years of age is 8.

Epidemiology of bone tumors in Mexico City: retrospective clinicopathologic study of 566 patients at a referral institution.

A retrospective analysis of all bone tumors accessioned at a large referral center (Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitacion) in Mexico City between 2000 and 2005 is presented. A total of 6216 biopsies and surgical resection specimens were reviewed during this period, of which 566 corresponded to bone tumors. Benign bone tumors accounted for 71.

[Cognitive deterioration following cerebral infarction: frequency and determining factors].

Introduction: Stroke is often associated with cognitive deterioration (CD) in varying degrees, and the risk factors associated to CD after a stroke vary from one study to another.

Aims: To determine the frequency of CD following cerebral infarction and to identify the factors that account for its presence.

Patients And Methods: A descriptive study was performed involving 126 stroke survivors who were hospitalised for rehabilitation.

[Validation of the stroke-specific quality of life scale (ECVI-38)].

Introduction: The stroke-specific quality of life scale (ECVI-38) is the first Spanish-language instrument for evaluating the quality of life in individuals who have survived a stroke.

Aim: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the third version of the ECVI-38.

Patients And Methods: A total of 243 stroke survivors were interviewed 2 months-2 years after the event; 61 of them were surveyed again 7-14 days later and 74 others were interviewed on beginning and ending a two-month period of rehabilitation.

Cultural adaptation and validation of the Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO) in a Mexican population.

Measuring quality of life (QOL) is important, but to date, questionnaires to measure QOL in Mexican patients with osteoporosis (OP) have not been validated. A study was carried out to culturally adapt and validate the Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO) in a Mexican population. Interviews were performed with 160 women, 80 patients with at least one vertebral fracture, and 80 patients with OP as determined by the World Health Organization criteria.

[Stroke-specific quality of life scale (ECVI-38): an evaluation of its acceptance, reliability and validity].

Introduction And Aims: Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is currently essential in the evaluation of stroke-related clinical trials. Existing stroke-specific scales were developed in English-speaking countries and most of them do not satisfy the necessary standards of validity. In consequence, the first Spanish-language scale for evaluating the quality of life (QL) of stroke survivors was developed (ECVI-38).

[The development of a scale to evaluate the quality of life in stroke survivors].

Introduction: The selection of a measure that can be used to evaluate the outcome of therapeutic interventions in stroke patients has had a conceptual problem in that there is a need to detect a wide range of deficiencies, disabilities and handicaps as part of a patient-based model. It has also suffered from a methodological problem due to the lack of systematic attention given to the development of standard instruments.

Aims: We conducted this study with the aim of getting over these limitations by developing a scale to evaluate the quality of life in stroke survivors.
