			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Much is spoken and written on one of the problems of the XXI century: the stress. Since this blog health We talked in the past, but now we focus on how to avoid stress at work, without doubt, one of the most suffering people. Work is the main source of concern and tension between the majority of people.</p>
<p>The first thing to make clear is that there is no magic formula that makes removing the stress of an immediate and radical, but each person has to adapt its own form of combat.</p>
<p>To avoid stress at work is important to plan your activities, be sure to improvisation or to the overlapping of tasks. When you have many things to do and little time, the situation tends to overwhelm you and starts the anxiety, nerves and the damn stress.</p>
<p>Nor is it good to accumulate more of the responsibility that your job needs. Think that the more responsibility you have, the more stress and pressure is generated, all damaging to your health. Learn to know your limits and do not want to cover more than what your body can sustain.</p>
<p>Similarly, to avoid stress at work must marcarte achievable goals and objectives, no utopias or pharaonic projects, which do not make more than entorpedecer your welfare. There are people who are unable to say “no”, hence, accumulate more charges on their work. It is important to say “no” and know what each can do.</p>
<p>Of course, you have to sleep to be rested and avoid stress. Sleep is essential to face the day with guarantees. The problem is that many times their own stress and not let you sleep pressure, this has to be solved, as the lack of sleep can also cause stress, and everything is a snowball that builds up and you affect you.</p>
<p>Whenever you have the option of going to a doctor for help and you get a treatment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The routine use of expensive X-rays, MRI and CT in patients with low back pain would be unnecessary and, in the case of two of these reviews, exposes people to radiation, researchers said.</p>
<p>Back pain is one of the most common reasons for consulting the doctor and sick leave.</p>
<p>Experts say that while most patients had no serious condition that is causing the pain, doctors often order immediately imaging procedures that can detect problems such as herniated disks, muscle injuries, arthritis or fractures.</p>
<p>Dr. Roger Chou, of the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, and colleagues evaluated the results of six studies that included 1,800 people with pain in his lower back or lumbar spine.</p>
<p>Patients who had no signs of a serious underlying cause but as a control immediately received no imaging did better than those for which standard treatment was applied but without imaging studies, the authors wrote in The Lancet.</p>
<p>The results correspond to the particular type of back pain which is usually evaluated by a physician, said the team. The authors urged doctors not to order x-rays, CT or resonances unless concrete signs of a problem.</p>
<p>The controls are often expensive imaging and x-rays and scans expose patients to low doses of radiation may be carcinogenic, the researchers added.</p>
<p>“If there are warning signs that indicate a serious cause of low back pain, the images are rarely helpful in guiding treatment,” said Dr. Michael Koch, University of Goettingen in Germany, who wrote a commentary accompanied the study.</p>
<p>“The images of routine checks for patients with pain in his lower back is a waste of resources for medical care,” added Koch. He also stressed that the controls for images “have some potentially serious side effects.”</p>
<p>“Exposure to radiation is a major public health issue, particularly in women, where controls for images of the lumbar spine to expose the ovaries to radiation,” said Koch.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the expert noted that although not involved exposure to radiation, the MRI is very expensive.</p>
<p>“Some doctors perform a routine of the lumbar spine or without a clear indication that possibly point to reassure their patients and themselves, to meet the expectations of the patient on diagnostic tests, or other reasons, wrote the computer .</p>
<p>Patients who insist on being subjected to imaging procedures should be counseled about their usefulness in certain limited cases.</p>
