The Videofluorographic Swallowing Study in Rheumatologic Diseases: A Comprehensive Review

2017

Autoimmune connective tissue diseases are a heterogeneous group of pathologies that affect about 10% of world population with chronic evolution in 20%–80%. Inflammation in autoimmune diseases may lead to serious damage to other organs including the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal tract involvement in these patients may also due to both a direct action of antibodies against organs and pharmacological therapies. Dysphagia is one of the most important symptom, and it is caused by failure of the swallowing function and may lead to aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, dehydration, weight loss, and airway obstruction. The videofluorographic swallowing study is a key diagnostic tool in the…

SHORT-TERM VARIABILITY OF 24H SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE IS ASSOCIATED WITH MICROALBUMINURIA IN PATIENTS WITH PRIMARY HYPERTENSION

2015

Objective: Limited and conflicting data are available about the association between shortterm blood pressure (BP) variability and urinary albumin excretion rate (uAER). The objective of our study was to analyze the relationships between microalbuminuria, defined as an uAER between 20 and 200mg/ min, and shortterm BP variability, assessed as average real variability (ARV), weighted standard deviation (SD) of 24h BP, and as SD of daytime and nighttime BP. Design and method: The study population consisted of 315 untreated essential hypertensives with normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (> 60ml/min/1.73 m2), which underwent 24h ambulatory BP monitoring and 24h uAER determination. Result…

Platelet count does not predict bleeding in cirrhotic patients: Results from the PRO-LIVER Study

2018

OBJECTIVES: Thrombocytopenia is a hallmark for patients with cirrhosis and it is perceived as a risk factor for bleeding events. However, the relationship between platelet count and bleeding is still unclear. METHODS: We investigated the relationship between platelet count and major or clinical relevant nonmajor bleedings during a follow-up of ∼4 years. RESULTS: A total of 280 cirrhotic patients with different degrees of liver disease (67% males; age 64±37 years; 47% Child–Pugh B and C) were followed up for a median of 1,129 (interquartile range: 800–1,498) days yielding 953.12 patient-year of observation. The annual rate of any significant bleeding was 5.45%/year (3.57%/year and 1.8…
