Disability in moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Prevalence, burden and assessment-results from a real-life study

2014

<b><i>Background:</i></b> The role of disability and its association with patient-reported outcomes in the nonsevere forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has never been explored. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The aim of this study was to assess, in a cross-sectional real-life study, the prevalence and degree of disability in moderate COPD patients and to assess its association with health status, illness perception, risk of death and well-being. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Moderate COPD outpatients attending scheduled visits were involved in a quantitative research program using a questionnaire-based data collec…

Wider implications of video-assisted thoracic surgery versus open approach for lung metastasectomy

2015

ABSTRACT  Lung metastasectomy is considered a safe and potentially curative procedure despite there is not a strong evidence that metastasectomy prolongs long-term survival in patients with lung metastases. Moreover, the debate is open regarding the best approach for lung metastasectomy, video-assisted thoracic surgery versus open approach. A systematic review of literature to clarify what is the best approach to prolong survival in patients with lung metastases was performed. Our study confirms that overall survival is equivalent for video-assisted thoracic surgery and thoracotomy, therefore the ‘gold standard’ surgical treatment for lung metastases remains a point of debate. The choice o…

Increased prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias and transient episodes of myocardial ischemia in hypertensives with left ventricular hypertrophy but with…

1997

To evaluate the behavior of cardiac arrhythmias (CA) and transient episodes of myocardial ischemia (TEMI), in relation to the circadian pattern of blood pressure in patients suffering from arterial hypertension, with or without echocardiographically ascertained left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), we studied 128 patients, 87 men (M) and 41 women (F), aging from 21 to 76 years, subdivided into two groups: Group I, including 66 patients with LVH (45 M and 21 F; mean age of 53.7 ± 9.1 years; Group II, including 62 patients without LVH ( 42 M and 20 F; mean age of 49.7 ± 9.5 years). Office blood pressure (OBP) as well as nighttime ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) were higher in patients with LVH …
