2015

Abstract Objectives Severe hypoglycemia is associated with cognitive decline and dementia in older persons with type 2 diabetes. The role of antidiabetic treatments on severe hypoglycemia is unknown in dementia. The aims were to determine the prevalence of severe hypoglycemic events and investigate associations among severe hypoglycemic and specific antidiabetic treatments (classes of oral agents and types of insulin analogs) in a large sample of nursing home patients with diabetes according to dementia status. Design Cross-sectional observational study. Setting A total of 150 nursing homes across Italy. Participants A total of 2258 patients with type 2 diabetes (dementia = 1138, no dementi…

Prevalence of type 2 diabetes among patients with hypertension under the care of 30 Italian clinics of hypertension: results of the (Iper)tensione an…

2008

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hypertension is known to be highly prevalent among patients with diabetes and associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular damage. In contrast, relatively few investigations have addressed the prevalence of diabetes among patients with hypertension. The purpose of the present study was to examine the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, the effectiveness of hypertension and diabetes control and the association with other cardiovascular risk factors and previous cardiovascular diseases in a cohort of patients with hypertension referred to 30 hospital outpatient clinics for the treatment of hypertension. METHODS AND PATIENTS Patients were considered as having diabetes …

Prevalence of type 2 diabetes and impaired fasting glucose in patients affected by rheumatoid arthritis: Results from a cross-sectional study.

2017

Abstract Although the better management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has significantly improved the long-term outcome of affected patients, a significant proportion of these may develop associated comorbidities including cardiometabolic complications. However, it must be pointed out that a comprehensive cardiometabolic evaluation is still poorly integrated into the management of RA patients, due to a limited awareness of the problem, a lack of appropriate clinical studies, and optimal strategies for cardiovascular (CV) risk reduction in RA. In addition, although several studies investigated the possible association between traditional CV risk factors and RA, conflicting results are still av…

Abstract Background Bullying is recognized as one of the most significant social and health problems in the school environment for children and adolescents. In Italy, bullying involved 2 in 10 kids between 11–17 years that referred to have been bullied two or more times in a month. In Sicily, the estimated prevalence of children aged 11 to 15 that suffered at least one act of bullying in the last two months was 14% in 2011. Methods A questionnaire consisting of 30 items investigating physical, verbal and indirect bullying, observers of bullying, resiliency, and prosociality was administered to preadolescents of ten first-grade secondary schools within the Palermo Province in order to analyz…

High Prevalence of Claudin 18.2 Expression in Japanese Patients with Gastric Cancer.

2017

e15584 Background: Expression of the gastric mucosal tight junction protein, Claudin-18.2 (CLDN18.2), is altered in gastric cancer (GC). In a phase 2 clinical trial (NCT01630083; FAST), a monoclonal antibody against CLDN18.2 (IMAB362) significantly increased overall survival in European patients with CLDN18.2-positive (CLDN18.2+) gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas when added to an EOX chemotherapy regimen. As the GC occurrence is high in Japan, this study evaluated the prevalence of CLDN18.2 expression in Japanese patients with GC. Methods: CLDN18.2 expression was assessed in primary GC tumors and corresponding lymph node metastases (LNM) by cell membrane staining intens…

Diagnosi di enteriti infettive di origine virale nel cane

2013

Canine Viral Enteritis are widespread in farms and kennels. Responsible viruses are Parvovirus (CPV), Coronavirus (CCoV), Rotavirus (CRV) and Distemper Virus (CDV). Aim of this study was to assess their prevalence in Sicily and to characterize the strains isolated during 2009-2012. For this purpose, samples (stools, rectal swabs, intestine, liver, spleen, heart, lung, brain) collected from dogs were analyzed by PCR, RT-PCR and Real Time RT-PCR. Positive samples were processed for virus isolation on cell lines. Viruses isolated were analyzed by RFLP and sequencing for molecular characterization. Results show an high prevalence of CPV infection in dogs, followed by CCoV, CRV and CDV. CPV prev…

DMFT indekss un kariesa izplatība Latvijas Universitātes studentu zobārstniecības klīnikas pacientiem

2022

Mutes veselībai ir ļoti nozīmīgs iedzīvotāju labklājības faktors. Slikta mutes dobuma veselība var būt par iemeslu sāpēm, zobu zaudējumam, funkciju zudumumam un pazeminātai pašcieņai. Zobu kariess ir viena no divām visbiežāk sastopamajām mutes dobuma saslimšanām un zobu zaudējuma iemesliem. Epidemioloģiskie pētījumi, izmantojot dažādus starptautiski pieņemtus indeksus, lēš, ka globāli neārstēts kariess pastāvīgo zobos ir 2,3 miljardiem cilvēku un neārstēts kariess piena zobos - 532 miljoniem bērnu. Taču pētījumu pieaugušajiem ir daudz mazāk nekā bērniem, kas arī pamato darba mērķi - analizēt DMFT indeksu un kariesa izplatību pieaugušiem pacientiem, kuri apmeklē Latvijas Universitātes Studen…
