Beware of Low Emission Zones while traveling this Easter in Spain

This Wednesday the operation out of Easter starts. Some dates in which it is expected that there will be up to 5,550,000 long-distance and internal displacements on the roads of Valencia, Castellón and Alicante during this second phase of the holidays.

On this occasion, drivers will have to pay special attention to the road but also to the areas where they put the car in the different cities they visit for the holidays. And it is that since the beginning of the year in some Spanish towns restrictions have been implemented due to the Low Emission Zones.

A total of 149 Spanish cities are affected by the obligation to have LEZs this year, a measure that has a full impact on the circulation of at least 3.7 million cars (more than 30%) without an environmental badge, which roll through its streets, three out of ten cars. A figure that could be even higher due to the vehicles registered in other smaller municipalities that on occasion have the need to go to large cities.

In this sense, towns with more than 50,000 inhabitants are obliged to implement the LEZ. Some areas where vehicles will not be able to access if they lack an environmental label, that is, registered before January 1, 2001 in the case of gasoline and 2006 if they are diesel (it may vary depending on the corresponding label). And not only that, it also applies to those municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants that exceed the limit values of pollutants regulated in the Royal Decree on air quality.

In the event of entering an area of this type without adequate accreditation, in general terms, a penalty of 200 euros is contemplated (with a 50% reduction, 100 euros, in case of paying within 20 days), although some town halls are fixing smaller sanctions, of 100 euros. It is key to know if it should be available or not, something that can be consulted on the official website of the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT).

These are the cities where the sticker should be mandatory this Easter, although there may be variations since many of them have not yet applied the measure.

Los benefits of physical exercise for cancer patients they are more than proven, since it reduces the symptoms and reduces the side effects that the treatment may have. For this reason, the Ministry of Health, through the Murcian Health Service (SMS), has taken a step forward to create the first unit of therapeutic physical exercise for cancer patients of regional public health.

This first unit is located in the Santa Lucia Hospitalso it will be a reference for all possible beneficiaries of Health Area II, and it is scheduled to open its doors this Monday, April 3.

In the Region of Murcia there are recent experiences to adapt spaces such as gyms for cancer patients, projects that have been promoted by the Never Surrender Foundation and the University of Murcia (CHILDREN), where the first facility of its kind opened its doors last November. However, the one at Santa Lucía is the first unit of the SMS with which the public health system wants to expand the offer of spaces for these patients.

From Salud they explain that the start-up at the Santa Lucía General University Hospital of the first unit of therapeutic physical exercise for cancer patients has the objective that they can add the benefits of physical exercise during your recovery process.

«Scientific evidence has shown that the practice of physical exercise in these types of patients during their illness stimulates positive responses from the different systems and organs of the body and promotes adaptations and responses that are favorable in the immune system”, they point out.

The specialists consider that exercising safely, depending on the specific medical situation and physical condition of each patient, can help alleviate some of the most frequent symptoms derived from the disease and its radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments, such as pain, fatigue, tumor asthenia, accumulation of lymphatic fluid or loss of bone mass.

adapted exercises

The Physiotherapy supervisor of the Rehabilitation service of the Santa Lucía Hospital in Cartagena, Francis Rodriguez, points out that “the idea is to have a unit in which patients are programmed with the exercises that are best adapted to each case in order to better tolerate the treatments.” Treatments that can range from chemotherapy or radiotherapy to immunotherapies, hormonal treatments or the surgery itself.

Programs of aerobic, resistance or strength and flexibility exercises prior to surgery They have also shown that they can reduce postoperative complications and improve postoperative recovery by reducing the patient’s own hospital stay.

This new service is aimed at adult patients over 18 years of age with cancer diagnosis or treatment and it will be offered from Monday to Friday, in the afternoon, in the multipurpose room on the terrace floor of the Cartagena hospital, which has been adapted to the new features.

Thus, two new specialized physiotherapists who join the Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy service of the University Hospital Complex of Cartagena, will offer this care with the support of the Oncology and Nutrition infirmary and the Clinical Psychology service. “You have to keep in mind if patients need some type of supplement due to physical activity,” insists Rodríguez.

The gym has specific machines for cardiovascular exercise and aerobic training; Specifically, there are two treadmills for walking and running; an elliptical bike and two cycle ergometers. Also a rowing device that also acts on the muscular system and includes other material to work with functional exercises.

The Physiotherapy supervisor explains that patients who meet the criteria will be given a questionnaire to find out your situation and thus be able to design a table of exercises to measure.

At the end of last year another similar space was also inaugurated, this time in Caravaca de la Cruz, thanks to a collaboration between the Never Surrender Foundation, the Caravaqueño City Council, the Postres Reina business group and Green Sport Center.

Material donated by the Rotary Club of Cartagena

The new physical exercise unit for cancer patients at Santa Lucía has treadmills, a bicycle and other equipment, as well as material for functional exercises such as a weight bench, iron bars and weight plates, a polymetric box, dumbbells, elastic bands and fitness balls. Part of all this equipment has been donated by the Cartagena Rotary Club as a gesture, within the actions they develop, to help these patients. This club is part of the Spanish Rotarian Humanitarian Foundation.

Thousand new cases a year in Cartagena

Detection figures for new cancer cases in the Cartagena Health Area they remain around a thousand per year, which is the trend in recent years, according to figures provided by the Ministry of Health. The Day Hospital of the Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Cartagena has administered in the last year more than 10,000 cycles of intravenous or subcutaneous antineoplastic treatmentmore frequently for patients with breast, lung or digestive cancer, which represents an average of 700 monthly patients.

In addition, the Oncology service has attended more than 20,000 consultations in 2021, 1,100 corresponding to new patients, and the rest successive consultations of patients already known, who are receiving treatment, or undergoing their control check-ups. The AECC Cancer Observatory shows that in the Region of Murcia a total of 8,073 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2022, the most frequent being colorectal, with 1,140 diagnoses, followed by breast (997), prostate (993 ) and lung (843).

Cuban authorities threaten those who disclosed the photos of the dead baby in Santa Clara

Grimaldo Pérez Ventura, director of the Villa Clara Sports Initiation School (Eide), washed his hands of the recent violent death of a newborn, the son of one of the school’s basketball students. during a meeting meeting held this Sunday, the official declared that he did not find out about the “situation” until it was too late and described as “outrageous” the fact that no family member or teacher was aware of the pregnancy of the 17-year-old girl.

“We Cubans divulge everything,” lamented the manager – whose words were recorded and reproduced by the channel América TeVé–, alluding to the information about the death of the infant and the photos of his corpse that circulated on social networks. He admitted that he had faced embarrassment from his students before, but that he had always looked for a “variant” to solve the problem.

In addition, he attacked the group of “100 workers” of the Eide who went to the scene and reported the situation. “From them came the photo that is in the world,” he said, adding that the Ministry of the Interior was still carrying out the investigation. “We do not have anything official in hand,” she settled.

“We are going to assume it with all the courage in the world,” Pérez explained, and explained that the young woman involved was a 12th grade student, whom she described as an “excellent student and athlete,” who did not comment on her condition even with her roommates, to whom, “inexplicably”, the pregnancy also went unnoticed.

The case came to light due to several complaints from users on social networks and a publication by the activist Diasniurka Salcedo Verdecia, who shared the out-of-focus photograph of the newborn

The educational institution had called an urgent meeting of parents for this Sunday where the “responsibilities” of the event would be defined. In a brief statement on his Facebook profile, he had mentioned the “situation that arose with an extra-hospital delivery of an athlete from the basketball team,” but he avoided offering details about the perpetrator of the crime and the conditions in which the body was found. . They also did not reveal if there were any detainees.

The case came to light due to several complaints from users on social networks and a publication by the activist Diasniurka Salcedo Verdecia, who shared the out-of-focus photograph of the newborn lying on the grass. “This is what the Police should do, watch out to avoid this type of thing, not be watching the opposition,” she wrote in her post.

Days later, there is still no official version, while various hypotheses of what happened have circulated on networks. Supposedly, the young woman gave birth at night and threw the newborn from the second floor of the school. The baby was found in the early hours of Thursday, still alive, and was transferred to the José Luis Miranda Pediatric Hospital, where he died.

Salcedo Verdecia shared some screenshots of a conversation with a source close to the school, who assures that the newborn had several fractures.

In December 2022, two cases of violent deaths of newborns shocked the island. The first was found on a box and covered in bloody rags in the Mulgoba neighborhood of Havana, while the second newborn was located in a state of putrefaction in the province of Las Tunas.
