CHANGES AND EXPECTATIONS: THE WHITE UNION DEFENCE FORCE SOLDIER PRIOR TO AND DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR

SUMMARY

At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the South African economy had experienced a transition from a predominantly mining and agricultural economy to a more diversified one. The changing structure of the economy is reflected in the relative decline in the contribution of agriculture and mining to the National Income, and the increase in manufacturing (15,4% in 1930 to 17,7%in 1939).

Se realizó un estudio observacional, longitudinal, retrospectivo y descriptivo en la Provincia de Pinar del Río, en el  periodo comprendido 1ro. de enero de 2003 al 31 de diciembre de 2006. En la investigación se incluyeron a todos los pacientes que continuaron su seguimiento en consultas de uro-oncología; un total de 265 pacientes para ver la evolución de los mismos a través del antígeno prostático específico. Para precisar el grado de homogeneidad del comportamiento de las variables en una tabla de distribución de frecuencia, se calculó el  intervalo de confianza, encontrando como principales resultados, que existe un número de diagnosticados en el año 2004 y ha existido disminución de los diagnósticos, mientras se ha logrado una mayor asistencia a consultas. Primó el tratamiento bloqueo androgénico total. En  este tipo de tratamiento existe  un  PSA normal en la mayoría de los pacientes a los 6 meses de tratamiento, concluyendo que del total de pacientes que asistieron a consulta y se trataron con bloqueo androgénico total, la mayoría normaliza el PSA a los 6 meses, siendo este más efectivo en el cáncer de la próstata.Palabras Clave: PRÓSTATA, DIAGNÓSTICO, REHABILITACIÓN.ABSTRACTScientists have controversial ideas regarding the different choices of treatment for prostate cancer and are exploring new treatment programs and combining ways.

Total Androgenic Blocking Therapy prevailed. During this type of treatment the SPA presents a normal value; the majority of patients achieve normal SPA at 6 months, being this therapy the most effective in prostate cancer.Key words: PROSTATE, DIAGNOSIS, REHABILITATION.
