Conclusions of the II SENPE discussion forum on: hospital malnutrition.

Recibido: 21-XII-2004. Aceptado: 7-I-2005. Malnutrition still is the more common cause of morbidity and mortality increase and one of the major health problems worldwide, especially affecting a very particular group of patients, as are hospitalized patients in whom inability to eat and illness are usual, becoming a distinct entity known as hospital malnutrition. Malnutrition affects 30%-50% of ...

Annex Ii Scientific Conclusions and Grounds for Refusal

Clinical Symposium II: Interspinous-based Dynamic Stabilization

The mechanism of action in itself has not been fully elucidated, though many theories have been proposed. Validation of these theories becomes important to determining the appropriate indications for use of these devices. Without a clear understanding of the mechanism of action or what these implants really do, their future would remain questionable. The general consensus seems to be that these...

Basic Science Symposium II: MEMS Technology

For a long time surgeons and basic scientists have been working together in developing instrumentation to restore function across a diseased human joint. In the quest to achieve their objectives during this long journey, they have developed analytical and experimental methods to quantify various parameters across a normal and a diseased joint, like the hip joint. For example, back in the late 8...
