The project has been funded by the Plan Avanza and has the backing of major Latin American organizations.
Salupedia is the first Web-based social collaboration between health professionals and citizens.
Salupedia is the result of extraordinary effort of citizens and health professionals, to achieve secure access to health information online.
Create a user community where professionals (doctors, nurses, psychologists...) Recommend content, existing but dispersed in the network, patients, families and citizens in general, is a new experience and enriching for both groups.
Thus, the citizen finds a place to access reliable information on health, recommended by professionals. The practitioner, in turn, has a place of trust where to direct their patients when they want to prescribe information.
In the words of Dr. Ignacio Basagoiti, project manager Salupedia is many things, an encyclopedia, a social web, community, Web 2.0 experience. . . but is mainly a tool to recommend, and receive health information secure. It is the first time he starts a project like this and be able to do in our language is a measure of maturity that has reached the Spanish on the Internet
One of the most important activities of health professionals is to recommend information and educate people. Citizens easily incorporate more preventive activities, follow their medication and get better clinical benefits when couples understand what is happening and are involved in your healing process.
Salupedia is because a family medical encyclopaedia that retrieves, sorts and orders, the best information on health was created by a community of professionals and citizens whose roles and differentiated activities and enrich certify that information.
Salupedia has been made possible by a grant from the Ministry of Industry, through the convening of the Avanza Plan for digital content and is backed by leading organizations such as the Spanish Association of Pediatrics, the Medical Association of Argentina and the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia.
The project has been run by the Institute ITACA-TSB and conducted by TSB Solutions.

Notes, snuff, strips, calendars, deodorant, toothpaste, antibiotics, mirrors, socks, fruit or stuffed animals are some of the most curious objects that girls have exchanged for condoms. However, the most striking object was the exchange that made a girl of 18 who deposited a pregnancy test with positive result.
Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Bilbao, Valencia, Zaragoza, Malaga, Murcia, Cordoba and Alicante were the cities selected to carry out this campaign, aimed at women for several reasons: it has an increasingly greater role in sexual intercourse because it is more reflective and analytical than men and also the most important reason and because it is she who suffers the direct consequences of not using condoms (unwanted pregnancy, single motherhood, abortions, infections, etc.).
At the end of the campaign, José Manuel López Vuelta We concluded it was a success. We are very satisfied with the results obtained, the women thanked the launch of an initiative directed exclusively to them, when they are most affected by unwanted pregnancies
Useful information
According to data recently by the Ministry of Health and Consumption, Spanish young people maintain their first intercourse at age 16, the girls still outperform boys in early. Moreover, according to a report by Control, 19% of young people between 20 and 30 years never use condoms with casual partners, the youngest band this data is even higher. Some alarming data taking into account the cases of unwanted pregnancies registered in Spain. In 10 years it has doubled the rate of teenage pregnancy (10 to 17 years) from 3.07 per thousand in 1997 to 6.3 per thousand in 2007.
Spain Youth Report 2008 (INJUVE), which analyzes the evolution of sexual behavior of young people in Spain, shows that the percentage of unwanted pregnancies has increased from 9.9% in 2004 to 12.1% in 2008. The average age at which this occurred was 19.6 years in 2004 and 22.5 years in 2008. Almost half (49.5%) of these pregnancies ended in abortion.
According to the Office of Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy (IVE), the rate of abortion (interruptions per 1,000 registered) in women aged 15 to 44 years in 2007 was 11.49%. This represents an increase of 91.5% in just 10 years.
Although rates have risen IVE in all age groups in the last decade, in 2007 38.8% of women who had an EVI were under 25 years. Additionally, this same year, 32.4% of women who terminated her pregnancy voluntarily had done one or more times previously.

From age 50 the risk of osteoporotic fracture is 40% in women and 13% in men.
Osteoporosis has become in recent decades in one of the diseases that are motivating increased interest in the field of preventive medicine, its importance both clinical and socio-economically. The College Medical Organization has updated its Guide to Best Practice in osteoporosis, targeting primary care physicians to provide diagnostic and treatment options based on scientific evidence and professional criteria alone, in a simple schematic
Within the collection of Good Clinical Practice Guidelines which is editing the Organization Medical College, has just seen the light a new updated edition of the guide to osteoporosis.
As the president of the General Council of Medical Colleges, Dr. Isacio Siguero, these guides can help the doctor in the daily exercise of their profession, providing the precise and schematic options for diagnostic and therapeutic approach based on scientific evidence and purely professional criteria.
Ongoing training is an essential requirement in the medical profession and, as noted by Dr. Alfonso Moreno, president of the National Board of Medical Specialties, a way of maintaining this high level of quality and meet the requirements based Medicine Evidence is to establish performance standards in line with scientific knowledge.
The authors of this guide are doctors Cristina Carbonell (Barcelona), Juan Antonio Martín (Toledo) and Carmen Valdes (Madrid), with the collaboration of Professor Xavier Nogues (Barcelona) as a consultant and coordinating the work by Doctor Francisco Toquero and Juan Jose Rodriguez Sendín, College of Physicians.
Permanent current osteoporosis
Osteoporosis has gone from being regarded as a physiological process clearly related to a disease with a series of disorders of bone metabolism. It is currently defined as the progressive loss of bone mass and deteriorating bone quality, leading to thinning of its structure, increasing its fragility.
Since osteoporotic fracture is the most obvious manifestation of the existence of osteoporosis, try the early diagnosis of bone loss before fractures occur. Bone densitometry is currently the most widely used technique for determining bone mass, antiresorptive available treatment for the prevention and treatment as well as bone-forming drugs.
Fragility fractures cause a huge impact and are socio major clinical consequence of osteoporosis. After 50 years of age, the risk of osteoporotic fracture is 40% in women and 13% in men. In the case of hip fracture, this causes a mortality approaching 30% in the first year and more than half of those who survive it have some degree of disability more or less important.
Due to the significance, both clinical and socio-economic, osteoporosis has become in recent decades in one of the diseases that are motivating increased interest in the field of preventive medicine.
Since the Primary Health Care, and based on the principles that govern it, the more effective action must be developed from primary prevention and It has some general measures applicable to all chronic diseases. These preventive activities in general can make a huge difference, because you need only modify certain behaviors in lifestyles, it has a decisive bearing on the emergence of the disease.
