Choroidal thickness is associated with renal hemodynamics in essential hypertension
2020
The choroid is the most vascularized structure of the eye and plays a central role in the development of the retinal vascular changes that occur in arterial hypertension. Changes of choroidal thickness (ChT) assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology could reflect the vascular complications of hypertension. Also, intrarenal hemodynamic damage, associated with endothelial dysfunction, demonstrated to be a good indicator of systemic morphofunctional arterial impairment. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between ChT and renal hemodynamics in subjects with essential hypertension. Routine laboratory tests, clinical history, and physical examination, including blo…

Vitom® 3D in arterio-venous fistulas: Single centre preliminary surgical experience
2021
Background: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the vascular access of choice for hemodialysis patients. A correct microsurgical vascular anastomoses is essential to the optimal care of patients. Loupes can help surgeons perform such procedures, but often cause neck or back pain and fatigue. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate whether a video telescopic operating microscope (VITOM®; Karl Storz Endoscopy GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany) could be used as a substitute for loupes to create microsurgical vascular anastomoses. Methods: We evaluated microsurgical anastomoses with VITOM® in 10 patients (6 male, 4 female) from January 2019 to December 2019. The created anastomoses were 7 side-to-side, 2 side-to-…

Nitric oxide metabolites (nitrite and nitrate) in several clinical condition.
2013
We determined the concentration of nitric oxide metabolites (NO2-+NO3-), expressed as NOx, in several clinical conditions. Regarding this, we have examined 25 subjects with arterial hypertension, 41 subjects with chronic kidney disease in conservative treatment, 106 subjects with metabolic syndrome subdivided according to the presence (n = 43) or not (n = 63) of diabetes mellitus, 48 subjects with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), 14 women with systemic sclerosis complicated with Raynaud's phenomenon, 42 dialyzed subjects and 105 young subjects with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In subjects with arterial hypertension, chronic kidney disease, metabolic syndrome, systemic sclerosi…
Monitoring Risk Factors and Improving Adherence to Therapy in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (Smit-CKD Project): Pilot Observational Study
2022
Background Chronic kidney disease is a major public health issue, with about 13% of the general adult population and 30% of the elderly affected. Patients in the last stage of this disease have an almost uniquely high risk of death and cardiovascular events, with reduced adherence to therapy representing an additional risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Considering the increased penetration of mobile phones, a mobile app could educate patients to autonomously monitor cardiorenal risk factors. Objective With this background in mind, we developed an integrated system of a server and app with the aim of improving self-monitoring of cardiovascular and renal risk factors and…
Advanced chronic kidney disease. Association between anxiety, depression and resilience
2019
Resumen Introducción: el padecimiento de la enfermedad renal crónica avanzada (ERCA) se asocia con una mayor probabilidad de padecer sintomatología depresiva y ansiosa. No obstante, la resiliencia puede amortiguar estos efectos. El objetivo general fue valorar la sintomatología ansiosa, depresiva y la resiliencia de los pacientes con ERCA. Métodos: 70 pacientes (80 % varones), con edades entre 38-88 años (M=68,88; DT= 9,98) fueron evaluados mediante la Escala Hospitalaria de Ansiedad y Depresión y la de Resiliencia de Connor Davidson. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos, pruebas t, d de Cohen y correlaciones de Pearson. Resultados: un 41,79 % presentó sintomatología ansiosa y un 25,38 % dep…
