Objective:
To describe the use of filtration into the joints and soft tissue in the daily work of a Primary Care clinic.
Design:
Observational and descriptive study.
Setting:
Primary Care.
Participants:
Patients between 18 and 75, with pathologies that can be filtrated and who had not previously received treatment.
Measurements And Main Results:
148 filtrations were analysed, with pain and mobility before and after filtration being evaluated. 85.1% of the patients had intense or moderate pain before filtration, dropping to 5.4% a month afterwards (p < 0.05). 55.4% had limited mobility before filtration and 6.1% a month afterwards (p < 0.05). Complications from the technique were observed in 4 cases, but all were of a light character.
Conclusions:
The technique is effective and easy to apply in Primary Care, with scarce and light side-effects.

01:09Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
