Hvorfor tromboseprofylakse? 
For 30 år siden var kirurgi den hyppigste årsag til 
venetrombose og lungeemboli under indlæggelse

April 2008 - Update: discussions between NICE and the British Orthopaedic Association Discussions have taken place between the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) on the issues generated by the NICE guideline on the prevention of venous thrombo-embolism (VTE). It was concluded that as the guidance was generic, further information should be made available to allow orthopaedic surgeons to understand the relevance of the guidelines to their practice.

Cochrane-analysens konklusioner 
The incidence of DVT during arthroscopy varies from 3.1% to 17.9% in a meta-analysis by Ilahi et al. However, the question we are looking for an answer to is: what is the clinical relevance of distal thrombosis diagnosed through sonogram? The literature is not conclusive in this area. 
The number needed to treat to benefit (NNTB) (17) relates to asymptomatic DVT, and the number needed to harm (NNTH) (20) is about a clinical event. Assuming a ratio of asymptomatic distal DVT to clinically apparent DVT of 1:10 to 1:20, the NNTB to prevent a clinical event would range from 170 to 340. 
We conclude that the physician needs to discuss these benefits and possible complications with the patient until new studies are performed. It is essential that future studies stratify patients according to their risk factors, and also stratify arthroscopic procedures.

Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin versus Compression Stockings for 
Thromboprophylaxis after Knee Arthroscopy (KANT Study) 
• Patients 
– 1761 consecutive patients undergoing knee arthroscopy 
• Design 
– Open, randomized study 
• Intervention 
– Patients were randomly assigned to wear full-length graduated 
compression stocking for 7 days (660 patients) or 
– to receive a once-daily subcutaneous injection of LMWH 
nadroparin, 3800 anti-Xa IU for 7 days (657 patients) or 
– nadroparin, 3800 anti-Xa IU for 14 days (444 patients). 
• The data and safety monitoring board prematurely stopped the 14-
day heparin group after the second interim analysis.

Incidence of symptomatic VTE 
after elective knee arthroscopy 
• A retrospective cohort study of elective arthroscopic knee 
procedures during a twenty-seven-month period (January 1, 
2006, through March 31, 2008) 
• Use of the administrative database identified 21,794 
arthroscopic knee procedures. 
• The occurrence of a symptomatic DVT or PE within ninety 
days after surgery was identified. 
• Mortality and the cause of death were captured with use of 
electronic medical records. 
• Patient charts were reviewed for confirmation of DVT, PE, or 
• Patients who had a history of a venous thromboembolism or 
who had received anticoagulation therapy within fourteen 
days prior to the index surgery were excluded.

• Prospectively collected admissions data, routinely collected 
on every English NHS patient, were analysed to determine the rates of complications within 30 days (including reoperation and re-admission), 90-day symptomatic venous thromboembolism and all-cause mortality. 
• There were 301,701 operations performed between 2005 and 
2010 – an annual incidence of 9.9 per 10,000 English population. 
• Of these, 16,552 (6%) underwent ligament reconstruction and 
106,793 (35%) underwent meniscal surgery.

   18 al 20 de febrero de 2009  3er Foro Latinoamericano sobre Higiene íntima Femenina Actualización en patología vulvar y tracto urinario Del 18 al 20 de febrero de 2009 se realizó en la Ciudad de Varadero, Cuba, el 3er Foro Latinoamericano sobre Higiene Íntima Femenina. En esta ocasión, el evento estuvo dirigido a la actualización en patología vulvar y tracto urinario. Diversos especialistas de países latinoamericanos comentaron sus experiencias con el objetivo de actualizar al médico ginecólogo en la etiología, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de las distintas afecciones vulvares y vaginales. Se contó con la presencia del Dr. Jaime Piquero Casals (Venezuela), quien habló sobre los aspectos clínicos de las vulvitis frecuentes y de la problemática de la infección vulvar por HPV. Las distrofias vulvares, especialmente el liquen escleroso y el liquen simple crónico, fueron comentadas por la Dra. Lina María Figueira (Venezuela). El Dr. Wel ington Aguirre (Ecuador) se refirió a los trastornos genitourinarios en la menopausia y su abordaje farmacológico. El Dr. Alejandro Paradas (República Dominicana) disertó acerca de la protección y la prevención de las infecciones vaginales. Finalmente, el Dr. Santiago Herrán (Colombia) expuso los resultados del primer estudio epidemiológico latinoamericano sobre hábitos de higiene íntima femenina y su relación con la vaginosis bacteriana en mujeres latinoamericanas, inquietud que tuvo su origen en el foro predecesor realizado en 2008 en Panamá.Surge como principal conclusión de este encuentro que la adopción de hábitos de higiene íntima femenina adecuados es una medida esencial en la prevención de afecciones genitourinarias tanto de origen infeccioso como no infeccioso.

T 02 9252 8200 F 02 9251 0300  Management of ageing skin Advice for patients regarding home skin care and cosmeceuticals Patients, friends and family are constantly asking me what products to use on their skin. Essentially they all want to know the same thing – how to reverse (or at least minimise) the effects of ageing. They are understandably confused by the huge number of ‘cosmeceutical' products on the market and easily misguided by flashy advertising campaigns and pushy sales reps. Often they end up spending large sums of money on a variety of products and treatments only to be disappointed by poor results.
