Gota - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: La gota es una enfermedad artrítica de las articulaciones causada por un exceso de ácido úrico en el cuerpo. Generalmente, el hígado procesa diversas sustancias en el cuerpo, incluyendo las purinas, que son componentes del material genético encontrado tanto dentro de sus células como en algunos alimentos que usted ingiere. Cuando el hígado metaboliza las purinas se produce un producto de desecho llamado ácido úrico. Su cuerpo elimina este desecho a través de los riñones que lo retiran de la sangre. Cuando el hígado produce demasiado ácido úrico o sus riñones no eliminan suficiente ácido úrico de su cuerpo, se acumula un exceso de dicho ácido úrico en su sangre dando como resultado una afección llamada hiperuricemia. Las bebidas con cafeína afectan la función de eliminación de desechos de sus riñones incrementando la producción de orina lo que elimina de forma excesiva el agua de su organismo provocando una afección llamada deshidratación. La deshidratación puede producir una mayor concentración de ácido úrico en los fluidos corporales. Cuando la concentración de ácido úrico es demasiado alta debido a cualquiera de estas fuentes, ya no se puede disolver. El exceso de ácido úrico empieza a formar cristales aciculares en forma de agujas dentro de sus articulaciones, con mayor frecuencia en el dedo gordo del pie. La formación de los cristales de ácido úrico conlleva a una respuesta inflamatoria. Los glóbulos blancos del sistema inmune atacan a los cristales de ácido úricos provocando dolor e inflamación de la articulación. A esto se le llama un ataque agudo de gota. Si no es tratado, los niveles elevados de ácido úrico pueden dar lugar a depósitos llenos de bultos de dicho ácido úrico alrededor de la articulación llamados tofos. Provocando dolor adicional y la desfiguración de la articulación. El tratamiento para el ataque agudo de gota incluye la colchicina, para prevenir o reducir la inflamación articular; los medicamentos antiinflamatorios no esteroides para reducir el dolor y la inflamación incluyendo la aspirina, ibuprofeno, tales como Advil, Motrin o Nuprin; y el naproxeno, tales como Aleve o Naprosyn; y los medicamentos esteroides tal como la prednidsona. El tratamiento para la gota crónica incluye los medicamentos que promueven la excreción del ácido úrico y aquellos medicamentos que inhiben la producción de ácido úrico en su cuerpo. Los cambios en su estilo de vida para prevenir la gota recurrente o crónica incluyen reducir las carnes rojas y mariscos de su dieta, limitar el consumo de alcohol con alto contenido de purinas, limitar el consumo de bebidas cafeinadas, hacer ejercicios de forma regular e ingerir bastante agua.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"Whether it's demonstrating a rotator cuff tear, neck movement a few milliseconds after rear impact, or a proposed lumbar fusion, the Doe Report represents an instant on-line database of medical illustration for health-care and legal professionals.

Illustrations can be purchased 'as is' or modified within hours and sent either electronically or mounted on posterboard. An illustration is worth a thousand words, as juries perk up and look intently to capture concepts that are otherwise too abstract. Start with good illustrations, a clear and direct voice, a view of the jury as 12 medical students on day one of training, and your expert testimony becomes a pleasure, even on cross examination. An experienced trial lawyer should also emphasize these illustrations at the end of trial, as a means of visually reinforcing key concepts covered.

As a treating physician, I also use these accurate illustrations to educate my own patients about their medical conditions. The Doe Report is an invaluable resource, and its authors at MLA have always been a pleasure to work with."

"Medical illustrations are essential evidence in personal injury litigation and MLA is simply the best I've found at producing high-quality illustrations. Your illustrators are not only first-class artists, but creative and responsive. Your turn around time is as good as it gets. My clients have won over $60 million in jury verdicts and I can't recall a case which did not include one of your exhibits. On behalf of those clients, thanks and keep up the great work!"

"It is my experience that it's much more effective to show a jury what happened than simply to tell a jury what happened. In this day and age where people are used to getting information visually, through television and other visual media, I would be at a disadvantage using only words.

I teach a Litigation Process class at the University of Baltimore Law Schooland use [Medical Legal Art's] animation in my class. Students always saythat they never really understood what happened to [to my client] until theysaw the animation.

Animations are powerful communication tools that should be used wheneverpossible to persuade juries."

"Thank you for the splendid medical-legal art work you did for us in the case of a young girl who was blinded by a bb pellet. As a result of your graphic illustrations of this tragic injury, we were able to persuade the insurance company to increase their initial offer of $75,000.00 to $475,000.00, just short of their policy limits.

We simply wanted you to know how pleased we were with your work which, to repeat, was of superlative character, and to let you know that we would be more than willing to serve as a reference in case you ever need one. Many thanks for an extraordinary and dramatic depiction of a very serious injury which clearly "catapulted" the insurance company's offer to a "full and fair" amount to settle this case."
