Filter by:Hepatorenal syndrome is a functional renal impairment occurring in cirrhotic patients . It develops secondary to splanchnic arterial vasodilatation which decreases the effective blood volume, activate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and stimulate of sympathetic nervous system.This study aims to compare the efficacy of nor-epinephrine versus midodrine/ octreotide, together with intravenous albumin on renal functions of patients with hepatorenal acute kidney injury.
Dumping syndrome (DS) is frequent in oesophageal atresia (29%). In causing hypoglycaemia, it can be dangerous for neonates. Mechanisms of DS are actually partialy understood. This is also an affection difficult to diagnose, because it only occurs after meals and can be inconstantly present. To date, their is only symptomatic treatment for DS. This study aims to understand its pathological mechanisms so as to better treat it and avoid its consequences. Oesophageal atresia patients enrolled in this study will benefit from a continuous glycemic monitoring, a continuous cardiac monitoring, and an a gastric emptying scintigraphy at the age of 3 months
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of kinesio tape and dry needling in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome of the trapezius muscle.
Frailty syndrome (i.e. frailty) is a geriatric syndrome which relies on the reduction of multisystem reserve capacity. Frail people have a lower potential to respond to external stressors and various life incidents as well as they present a weak prognosis particularly in cardiovascular diseases. Yet, frailty is not only a set of physical deficits, but it also concerns psychological and social dimensions of human functioning. Hence, an approach to frailty should be multidimensional because such a concept more adequately reflects a functional degradation in the elderly. Frailty is usually associated with the impaired condition of circulatory system, and therefore, an identification of subclinical cardiovascular abnormalities is paramount in the frailty prevention and treatment. Another potential mechanism which may predispose to frailty is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. This system plays a crucial role in the response to internal or external stressors such as diseases and activities of daily living. An impairment of the autonomic nervous system function may maintain or accelerate the frailty process. In this scientific project, a comprehensive echocardiography will investigate cardiac function with a particular attention to features which typically change with age, like flow parameters and chambers sizes. The activity of the autonomic nervous system will be explored with the analysis of heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory signals. The study participants will also undergo routine medical examination and a number of additional tests, including: assessment of cognitive function, psychological condition, nutrition status, activities of daily living, and risk of falls. The study group will comprise community dwelling elderly individuals over the age of 65 years who get around by themselves. After 2 years, the participants will be re-examined for their frailty and independence status, as well as their survival will be checked with the National Health Found electronic system. The aim of this project is to seek for factors determining frailty and to explore the frailty impact on the elderly people survival. Particular attention will be paid to the multidimensional frailty which is a new concept of the functional decline in the elderly. In addition, the prevalence of different modes of frailty in Polish community will be investigated. The results of this research should help to establish preventative and therapeutic strategies against frailty.
The hypothesis of the study is that group therapy in fibromyalgia patients can provide significant improvement in pain, fatigue, anxiety and depression levels and emotional expressions.
Severe pneumoniae related to Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), had a high in-hospital mortality; this condition are worst in subjects with acute kidney disease (AKI); conditioning increased mortality, days of assisted mechanical ventilation (AMV), increased nosocomial infections and high costs. We need many studies for determinated the risk factors for AKI in subjects with COVID-19. This study pretends identify the incidence of AKI in subjects with severe pneumoniae by COVID-19, describe the role of some biomarkers in the physiopathology of AKI-COVID-19; and determine the evolution of urinary biomarkers during hospitalization, like neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2), insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP7), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the progression of viruria of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) related to CoronaVirus 2 (CoV2) in subjects with or without AKI.
In this project the accuracy of a novel, rapid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach to detect brain abnormalities in patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) will be tested; this new imaging approach, that can create multiple types of MR images in about 5 minutes, without contrast administration (and sedation even in young children), can be also readily applied in other pediatric brain disorders in the future. The investigators will also study how advanced MRI, including susceptibility-weighted and diffusion tensor imaging can detect detailed signs of brain vascular and neuronal reorganization that helps improve neurological and cognitive outcome of children and young adults with SWS, who could benefit from targeted interventions in the future to minimize neurocognitive deficits in affected patients. All enrolled subjects will undergo advanced brain MRI and neurocognitive evaluation to achieve these goals.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of baricitinib in adult and pediatric Japanese participants with Nakajo-Nishimura Syndrome/chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature (NNS/CANDLE), STING-associated vasculopathy with onset during infancy (SAVI), and Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome (AGS).
Ki-67 is used as a marker for determination of the proliferative activity in solid tumors. The use within hemato-oncological malignancies is limited. This is related to limited technical possibilities of flow cytometry in the past. Meanwhile, flow cytometry in hemato-oncological malignancies has progressed to assessment of 8 colors and makes it possible to add Ki-67 as an additional marker to the 8-color panels. Adding Ki-67 to these panels could lead to improved diagnosis and prediction of therapy response for a number of hemato-oncological malignancies.
Background: Suboptimal health status (SHS) is a dynamic state potential clinical stage or prior psychosomatic disease stage during which people have not been diagnosed with a disease, but they have risk factors for illness and have tendency to develop diseases. The term refers to an existing condition of ill health that could lead to a pathologic condition but could also be eliminated, enabling the individual in question to return to a state of good health. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) emphasizes the importance of health care and the idea that preventive treatment for diseases is superior to curative treatment. Therefore, early TCM-based intervention can improve the health status of people with SHS. People with SHS often experience such nonspecific symptoms as fatigue; such symptoms are typical of SHS from the perspective of TCM. The present study investigated people with SHS and fatigue as their primary symptom. All enrolled participants completed a physical questionnaire, after which their physiological parameters were monitored using a cloud physiological signal monitoring system to investigate correlations with TCM patterns. Methods: The participants first completed a body constitution questionnaire, the WHO Quality of Life questionnaire, the SHSQ-25 questionnaire, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and subsequently underwent sphygmography to determine their pulse patterns. Analyses of pulse waves were presented in relation to the spectral energy ratio (SER), and SER10 scores represented subtle changes in internal organ blood flow; 13-50-Hz spectrum analysis for pulse delineated any flow energy deviation in organs.
