Care of children and long and healthy life.

I have just finished my tourist route of 3 days by Celendin, Sucre and Jose Galvez (North mountain range of Perú). Circumstance that I employed to visit my greater daughter and my first male grandson, who were also visiting Jose Galvez (See picture). It is that I encountered him something thinned (present weight: 18 kilos, 2 months ago: 22 kilos). They informed to me that he had episodes of UTI (urinary tract infection), 2 months ago and 7 days ago, respectively. In order to begin the UTIs in men are little frequent: 2%. When I read the treatment I found that he received Amikacina, parenterally, : 15 mg/Kg/Weight (being the recommended normal dose: 7,5mg). After correcting the dossage, I proceed to examine him, finding that his penis foreskin was large and very narrow retaining urine peripherically conditioning by reflux a UTI. With my daughter we made a plan so that he will be operated immediately (extirpation of the redundant foreskin), with the premise that after it, the ITUs, must disappear. Single in case, if the UTI reappear, we will analize the totality of his urinary tract, in search of anatomical malformations.

The case concerns us because in reason that we have some physicians relatives we have planned since 2 years ago a council medical plan (prevention), for children of near relatives, until the 5 years of life. Then, it is that our idea, is not the unique one because today Gina Kolata, editor of science of the NYorktimes, has begun to publish http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/30/health/30age.html?_r=1&ref=health&oref=slogin a series of articles around a healthful life beyond the 70 years old. I recommend its reading to all those that have 5 smaller children. In them Kolata, reports diverse works of American epidemiologists, that have found that the stature and weight of the American average has increased (65 to 80 kgs, 1,65m to 1,80m), something that never has happened before, at least in the last 7000 years. Several scientists within them the Dr Robert W. Vogel, affirm that to acquire a healthy, prolonged and useful life it depends right on the preventive measures medical that are adopted during the first 2 years of life, including the intrauterine life. After the birth matters to maintain an effective combat with antibiotics of by means, when it is necessary, implementation of vaccines and nutritional support of first line. Dr Vogel adds that chronic diseases like arteriosclerosis, senile dementia, arthritis, cardiovascular and pulmonary affections, attack people of between 40 and 50 who have not been a suitable preventive medical careful, before the 2 years of age. Aside from the mentioned thing it is also important in greater ages, the constant practices of sports, suitable nutrition and mental rest, trying to avoid social, familiar or stressing labor situations.

Cuidado medico infantil y vida util y prolongada.

Acabo de terminar mi recorrido turistico de 3 dias por Celendin, Sucre y Jose Galvez (sierra norte del Perú). Circunstancia que aproveché para visitar a mi hija mayor y a mi primer nieto varón (2 años) , que viven en Jose Galvez (Ver foto). Resulta que lo encontré algo adelgazado (peso actual : 18 kilos, 2 meses atrás :22 kilos). Me informaron que habia tenido 2 episodios de ITU (infeccion del tracto urinario), hace 2 meses y hace 7 dias, respectivamente. Para empezar las ITUs en varones son poco frecuentes : 2%. Al revisar su tratamiento me encontré con que recibia ® Amikacina, a razón de 15 mg/Kg/Peso (siendo la dosis normal recomendada : 7,5mg). Tras corregir la posologia, procedi a examinarlo, encontrando que tenia un prepucio muy estrecho reteniendo orina periféricamente condicionado por reflujo urinario (primera hipótesis nuestra), ITUs. Con mi hija diseñamos un plan para que sea operado de inmediato (extirpación del prepucio redundante), con la premisa de que tras ello, los ITUs, deben desaparecer. Solo si acaso, recurrieran analizariamos la totalidad del tracto urinario, en busca de malformaciones anatómicas.

El caso importa porque en razón de disponer de familiares médicos, hemos diseñado un plan de consejeria (prevencion), médica para hijos de familiares cercanos, hasta los 5 años de vida. Pues bien, resulta que nuestra idea, no es la unica porque el dia de hoy Gina Kolata editora de Ciencia del NYorktimes, ha empezado a publicar una serie de articulos en torno a una vida saludable mas alla de los 70 años. Recomiendo su lectura a todos los que tengan hijos menores de 5 años. En ellos Kolata, reporta diversos trabajos de epidemiologos americanos, que han encontrado que la talla y peso del americano promedio se ha incrementado, como nunca ha sucedido antes, por lo menos en los ultimos 7000 años (de 65 a 82 kilos y de 1, 65 m. a 1, 80 m, en promedio). Varios cientificos dentro de ellos el Dr. Robert W. Vogel, afirman que adquirir una vida sana, prolongada y util depende justo de las medidas medico preventivas que se adopten durante los primeros 2 años de vida, incluyendo la vida intrauterina. Después del nacimiento importa sostener un combate eficaz con antibioticos de por medio, cuando sea necesario, implementacion de vacunas y soporte nutricional de primera. El Dr. Vogel agrega que enfermedades cronicas como arteriosclerosis, demencia senil, artritis, males cardiovasculares y pulmonares, atacan a personas de entre los 40 y 50 que no han tenido un cuidado medico preventivo adecuado, antes de los 2 años de edad. Aparte de lo mencionado importa aunque ya en edades mayores, la practica constante del deporte, nutricion adecuada y reposo mental, tratando de evitar situaciones sociales, familiares o, laborales estresantes.
