Rheological blood behaviour is not related to gender in morbidly obese subjects.
2012
To the Editor. We have read with interest the recently published article by Wiewiora et al. [7] regarding hemorheological differences related to gender in morbidly obese subjects. In this study authors found several hemorheological differences between male and female. In this sense, males showed higher blood viscosity and higher erythrocyte deformability than females and native blood viscosity correlated with several erythrocyte aggregation parameters evaluated with the Laser-Assisted Optical Rotational Cell Analyser (LORCA) [3]. In studies with small sample sizes (18 men and 20 women) there is always the risk that differences in certain variables may appear by chance or by imbalances in th…
The Effect of Bariatric Surgery on Circulating Levels of Lipoprotein (a): A Meta-analysis.
2022
Background. Obesity, especially severe obesity, is associated with a higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) morbidity and mortality. Bariatric surgery is a durable and effective weight loss therapy for patients with severe obesity and weight-related comorbidities. Elevated plasma levels of lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) are causally associated with ASCVD. The aim of this meta-analysis was to analyze whether bariatric surgery is associated with Lp(a) concentrations. Methods. A literature search in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science was performed from inception to May 1st, 2021. A random-effects model and the generic inverse variance weighting method were used to compe…
Employment Is Associated with the Health-Related Quality of Life of Morbidly Obese Persons
2010
Published version of an article in the journal: Obesity Surgery. The original publication is available at Springerlink. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11695-010-0289-6. Open Access Background We aimed to investigate whether employment status was associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a population of morbidly obese subjects. Methods A total of 143 treatment-seeking morbidly obese patients completed the Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Obesity and Weight-Loss Quality of Life (OWLQOL) questionnaires. The former (SF-36) is a generic measure of physical and mental health status and the latter (OWLQOL) an obesity-specific measure of emotional…
Gender-differences in disease distribution and outcome in hospitalized elderly: data from the REPOSI study.
2014
none 330 Women live longer and outnumber men. On the other hand, older women develop more chronic diseases and conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis and depression, leading to a greater number of years of living with disabilities. The aim of this study was to describe whether or not there are gender differences in the demographic profile, disease distribution and outcome in a population of hospitalized elderly people.Retrospective observational study including all patients recruited for the REPOSI study in the year 2010. Analyses are referred to the whole group and gender categorization was applied.A total of 1380 hospitalized elderly subjects, 50.5\% women and 49.5\% men, were conside…

Summary Background Healthy life expectancy (HALE) and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) provide summary measures of health across geographies and time that can inform assessments of epidemiological patterns and health system performance, help to prioritise investments in research and development, and monitor progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We aimed to provide updated HALE and DALYs for geographies worldwide and evaluate how disease burden changes with development. Methods We used results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015) for all-cause mortality, cause-specific mortality, and non-fatal disease burden to derive …
Suchtartige Internetnutzung als komorbide Störung im jugendpsychiatrischen Setting
2012
Einleitung: Die exzessiv suchtartige Internetnutzung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen, welche sich in ähnlichen Symptomen äußern kann wie klassische Abhängigkeitserkrankungen, ist ein Phänomen, dem Wissenschaft und Praxis immer mehr Beachtung schenken. Prävalenzen von 3 % unter Kindern und Jugendlichen deuten auf ein häufig vorkommendes Problem hin, das bei Betroffenen zu Funktionseinschränkungen führt und mit hohem Leidensdruck einhergeht. Ungeklärt ist, wie häufig Internetsucht unter Patienten jugendpsychiatrischer Einrichtungen auftritt. Methodik: Zur erstmaligen Bestimmung der Prävalenz von Internetsucht unter psychiatrisch behandelten Jugendlichen wurde ein standardisiertes Screening-Inst…

Komorbide Internetsucht unter Patienten der stationären Suchtrehabilitation: Eine explorative Erhebung zur klinischen Prävalenz
2012
Anliegen: Die exzessive Nutzung des Internets wird als substanzungebundene Form einer Abhangigkeitserkrankung diskutiert. Laut Pravalenzschatzungen ist 1 % der deutschen Bevolkerung betroffen. Ungeklart ist, inwieweit Internetsucht komorbid unter Patienten der stationaren Suchtrehabilitation auftritt. Methode: In 15 Kliniken wurden alle innerhalb eines halben Jahres aufgenommenen Patienten auf das Vorliegen von Internetsucht gescreent. Ergebnisse: 4,2 % der Patienten erfullten die Kriterien. Diese waren haufiger mannlich mit den Primardiagnosen Cannabisabhangigkeit und pathologisches Glucksspiel. Schlussfolgerungen: Dies verdeutlicht den Bedarf an entsprechenden Routinescreenings innerhalb …
¿Cuánto y cómo estamos utilizando la encuesta de morbilidad hospitalaria?
1995
ResumenObjetivoLa Encuesta de Morbilidad Hospitalaria (EMH) es todavía la única estadística sistemática de ámbito nacional de la morbilidad atendida en los hospitales de España. Se pretende describir las publicaciones científicas relacionadas con la EMHMétodosSe ha realizado una revisión de la literatura científica española mediante una búsqueda bibliográfica automática en el Índice Médico Español (1971–1993), completada manualmente.ResultadosSe hallaron 31 publicaciones relacionadas con la EMH de las que 10 realizan una aplicación práctica de la información, 13 son estudios empíricos sobre la calidad de los documentos que sirven de soporte para la elaboración de la EMH y ocho reflexionan s…
