[Usefulness of sectorization of pediatric hospital emergency units in the community of Madrid].

We have studied the procedence of the children that came to the Emergency Department of the Niño Jesús Hospital, analyzing if they belonged to the pediatric emergency area corresponding to this hospital, the procedence from the different postal districts of Madrid, from other localities of the Madrid Community, or from the Health Areas of this Community. We found that only 12.42% of the children came from the corresponding area of the emergency care sectorization, and that they came from very disperse zones, having no clear relation with any of the Health Care Areas. We conclude that current sectorization of the pediatric emergencies in hospitals is not being usefull, and we suggest alternative solutions.

[Past, present and future of anti-idiotype vaccination].

Cancer vaccines are conceived as therapeutic tools, in contrast to the prophylactic vaccines used to fight against infectious diseases. Among the most potent therapeutic vaccines, anti-idiotype vaccination is directed against the tumor idiotype, the only well-characterized tumor antigen displayed in neoplastic B-cells. Anti-idiotype vaccines have demonstrated clinical benefit against follicular lymphoma and are currently being evaluated in two different phase III clinical trials. Additional emerging strategies, which include the use of dendritic cells and the production of vaccines via molecular means will surely allow us to draw important conclusions concerning the treatment of cancer patients.
