Realidades y mitos del músculo como un órgano principal y endocrino en el cuerpo humano

Wed, 14 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Historically, the muscle has been considered as an essentially locomotor organ, which has led
to an in-depth study of its mechanisms of muscular contraction and its relationship with the
other organs. However, in recent years, a wide range of functions of the muscle have begun to be
discovered, mainly mediated by a series of molecules called myokines, which through autocrine,
paracrine and endocrine effects mediate in the body homeostasis, relating the muscle by means
of close communication pathways with all the organs and becoming so important that they have
become the study of different therapeutic targets for the management of diverse pathologies.
This article describes the functions discovered by the muscle, including the molecules, cellular
signaling pathways and organs with which it interacts.

Telemedicina en Dermatología, Oftalmología y Urología: Una aproximación real a la clínica

Telemedicine is a field that has been studied and carried out for some years now, however this
area of medicine had exponential growth since 2020 secondary to the COVID19 pandemic, since
then improvements have been implemented in the quantity, capacity , ease and use of virtual
applications that allow connection between 2 or more people simultaneously, thus creating a new
type of meeting between peers. Likewise, these improvements have been applied in the health
sector, from virtual classes for undergraduate students to holding multidisciplinary medical
meetings to define specific cases, the advent of new technologies brings us new opportunities to
provide optimal care with the ability to have improvements in costs, accessibility and environmental
responsibility.

¿Podría la robótica ser aliada en la rehabilitación osteomuscular del paciente?

Ana María Montealegre Torres, Lina Maryudi Rodriguez López — Wed, 14 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Various spastic diseases of the musculoskeletal system, along with their associated rehabilitation
processes, have led medicine to explore different solutions to aid in the favorable management and
evolution of patients. Through this systematic literature review, we will address, from the perspectives
of physiatry and neurology, how robotics can change patient outcomes in the two most prevalent and
disabling conditions: cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and hand and wrist spasticity. While technology
will never replace medical judgment, it can become its greatest ally when properly implemented.
Some individuals may be left with irreparable functional limitations, but a robot or device
integrated into their bodies can complement or even replace the lost function, offering new hope
for practicing a more humanized medicine.
