Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las enfermedades cardíacas, en concreto el infarto de miocardio, son difíciles de calificar. Tradicionalmente la jurisprudencia ha considerado accidentes de trabajo a los infartos de miocardio cuando son consecuencia de la tensión o el esfuerzo realizado en el trabajo. Ha interpretado extensivamente el concepto de lesión, incluyendo en la misma, fallos cardíacos, vasculares o circulatorios. El esfuerzo, el estrés o la tensión emocional son factores de riesgo propios de la actividad laboral que pueden influir en el desencadenamiento de una crisis cardiaca. En estos supuestos opera la presunción legal de laboralidad (pueden suceder durante el trabajo sin constancia ni prueba alguna en cuanto a cuál pueda ser su verdadera causa), de modo que si se produce durante el tiempo y en el lugar de trabajo se califica de accidente de trabajo, con inversión del onus probandi, salvo que no se pruebe la laboralidad. No es impedimento a esa presunción de laboralidad el hecho de que el trabajador haya tenido antecedentes o molestias en momentos anteriores de tipo cardíaco o coronario, o incluso tabaquismo u otros factores de riesgo; ni antiguas crisis o episodios de dolencia cardiaca, calificados de accidentes de trabajo. De ahí la importancia de poder aplicar la presunción legal de accidente de trabajo a toda lesión que sufra el trabajador en tiempo y lugar de trabajo, prescindiendo de la prueba del nexo causal. Respecto al accidente in itinere y al accidente en misión, la jurisprudencia es aún mas restrictiva a la hora de acreditar la presunción de laboralidad.
Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
Download or read book Vitamin D in Chronic Kidney Disease written by Pablo A. Ureña Torres and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-21 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vitamin D deficiency, circulating levels lower than 15 ng/ml, is an epidemic disease worldwide with more than a billion people suffering of it in the beginning of the 21-century. Besides its impact on mineral and bone metabolism, these low vitamin D levels are also associated with a diversity of non-skeletal complications, among them cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, cancer, tuberculosis, and immune system dysfunction. Chronic Kidney Disease is also a very common disease, affecting more than 10% of the world population, ranging from stage 1 to stage 5 before dialysis. Approximately 1% of the population in industrialized countries is affected by end-stage renal disease (ESRD), needing a renal replacement therapy either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, and ultimately by renal transplantation. Those CKD patients are more susceptible to exhibit reduced vitamin D stocks. Consequently, more than eighty percent of CKD patients have either insufficient or deficient vitamin D levels for multiple reasons.
