El dolor lumbar: Mucho más que un dolor (URJC)

Si padeces dolor lumbar, si tienes pacientes con dolor lumbar o simplemente te interesa conocer distintos aspectos sobre el dolor lumbar, este es tu curso. ¿Qué es el dolor lumbar? El dolor lumbar es aquel que se localiza en la región posterior del tronco, entre las últimas costillas y la región glútea. Este síntoma se cuenta entre los padecimientos más frecuentes del ser humano. El dolor lumbar es una de las principales causas de incapacidad temporal y de invalidez permanente.

En muchos estudios, más del 80% de las personas entrevistadas refieren haber padecido al menos un episodio de lumbalgia en su vida. Menos del 50% de los pacientes con dolor lumbar consultan por este problema y en un 20% de los casos el dolor evoluciona hacia el dolor crónico, con una importante limitación para la actividad laboral y los actos elementales de la vida cotidiana.

Este curso tiene por objetivo introducirte en el conocimiento de este dolor tan común, conocer las causas y sobre todo dar a conocer los distintos tratamientos que tiene, no solo desde el punto de vista farmacológico o quirúrgico, sino además desde el punto de la fisioterapia de la psicología.
En el curso participan expertos en el tratamiento del dolor en los distintos campos como pueden ser farmacólogos, médicos, fisioterapeutas y psicólogos.
En este curso los alumnos adquieren conocimientos sobre unos de los dolores crónicos más prevalentes desde distintos puntos de vista:

  • Fisiopatología y distintos tipos de dolor lumbar
  • Tratamiento farmacológico e intervencionista
  • Tratamiento con fisioterapia y prevención
  • Abordaje con distintas técnicas psicológicas

Non-Communicable Diseases in Humanitarian Settings (Coursera)

NCDs are the leading cause of death in almost every region of the world, and place a huge burden on individuals, families and societies. Humanitarian settings have a negative effect on the levels of disease, and the possibility of treatment. The importance of NCDs in global health is acknowledged by their inclusion in the Sustainable Development Goals, which call for a reduction of a third in premature mortality from NCDs by 2030. However, NCDs have until recently received little attention in humanitarian settings, leaving prevention, care and treatment needs largely unaddressed among some of the most vulnerable populations. According to the World Health Organization, 70 percent of global deaths are due to NCDs.

Understanding Patient Perspectives on Medications (Coursera)

Inappropriate use of medicines harms patients’ health and increases healthcare costs. When healthcare professionals and patients engage together, healthcare can be based on the patient perspective, so the use of medicines is better tailored to each patients’ needs and preferences. The result is a better relationship between patients and healthcare professionals, more appropriate medicines use, improved patients’ outcomes, and reduced healthcare costs. In this course you will learn about the patient perspective on medicines use, and how to explore and apply it in healthcare and health policy.

This engaging, one-week learning experience, provides participants with everything they need to know to more successfully establish breastfeeding – or support a new mother who has decided to breastfeed.
