FATTORI PSICOLOGICI DI INFLUENZA SULL’ADHERENCE AL TRATTAMENTO E SULLA QUALITÀ DELLA VITA IN PAZIENTI CON VASCULOPATIE. RISULTATI PRELIMINARI
2012
Lo studio della Qualità della Vita (QdV), dell’assetto psicologico e dell’adherence alle prescrizioni mediche in pazienti affetti da disturbi vascolari è un obiettivo indispensabile, sia per la valutazione degli outcome clinici che per la scelta di trattamenti medici adeguati (Piscione et al., 2009). In accordo con la letteratura sulle malattie croniche, intendiamo valutare il peso esercitato da ansia, depressione, strategie di coping, percezione di malattia e alessitimia sullo stato di salute e sulla QdV di pazienti con vasculopatie. METODO Il disegno di ricerca prevede la somministrazione dei seguenti questionari: The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) (Zigmond e Snaith, 1983); …
Efficacy and tolerability of a fixed dose combination of cortex phospholipid liposomes and cyanocobalamin for intramuscular use in peripheral neuropa…
2019
Peripheral neuropathies are frequently encourtered in clinical practice and are assiociated with a major impairment in quality of life . Howewvwr, their management reamans poor, and current therapies are often burdened with major side effects and can present poor efficacy on pain and functionality. Therefore, it has been suggested that the combination of two or more different drugs may improve analgesis efficacy and reduce side effects. Tricortin 1000 is formulated with 12 mg of Brain cortex phospholipid liposomes + 1000 microgrammi of Cyanocobalamin injectable (PL+ CNCb1) for intramuscolar use and is indicated in the tratment of poly-algo-neuropathic syndromes. This combination exerts a ma…
“Versus aurei” nella poesia di Walahfrido Strabone
2018
Walahfrido Strabone può essere senz’altro considerato il più importante poeta dell’età carolingia. Vissuto fra l’809 e l’849, egli ha composto alcuni poemetti di vario genere e di diversa tipologia (Visio Wettini, Hortulus, Vita Mammae, Versus de beati Blaithmaic vita et fine, Versus de imagine Tetrici), nonché una gran quantità di carmina che rivelano la sua grande perizia metrica e versificatoria. In questa postilla, dopo una prima parte dedicata allo status degli studi sullo scrittore carolingio, sulla sua vita e sulla sua produzione poetica, si dà particolare risalto a un artificio versificatorio da lui praticato, ossia il ricorso al "versus aureus", la cui frequenza e la cui incidenza …
Effects of a structured educational intervention in moderate-to-severe elderly asthmatic subjects.
2019
Background: Adherence to inhaled drugs is linked to patients’ satisfaction with their device, and an incorrect use can negatively affect the outcomes of asthma treatment. We speculated that this is particularly true in elderly asthmatic subjects. Aim: We performed a national pre-post interventional multicentre study, enrolling moderate-to-severe asthmatic subjects aged ≥65 years treated with fixed inhaled combination drugs by dry powder inhaler (DPI) or pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI). Adherence and critical errors were evaluated by means of validated questionnaires at first visit (V1) and after 3–6 months (V2). At V1, subjects underwent intensive training on the correct use of the…

Association of vitamin D serum levels and its common genetic determinants, with severity of liver fibrosis in genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C patients.
2013
Background and aims: Lower 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) serum lev- els have been associated with the severity of liver fibrosis in genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C patients (G1CHC). In addition, a recent genome-wide study identified genetic variants (rs12785878, near dehydrocholesterol reduc- tase, DHCR7; rs10741657, near CYP2R1; and rs7041, near vitamin D binding protein, GC) affecting 25(OH)D serum levels in healthy populations. We aimed to assess the association between vitamin D serum levels and its genetic determinants, with the severity of liver fibrosis. Material and methods: Two hundred sixty patients with biopsy-proven G1CHC were consecutively evaluated. The 25(OH)D serum levels wer…
Effective hemostasis during minor surgery in a case of hereditary combined deficiency of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors.
2009
Combined deficiency of the vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (VKCFD) is a rare bleeding disorder involving defective gamma-carboxylation of coagulation factors II , VII, IX and X as well as natural anticoagulants protein C and protein S. The disease is characterized by a cluster of different, often life threatening, bleeding symptoms occurring both spontaneously and in a surgical setting. In the present paper we describe two different treatment modalities to be used both in a programmed surgical procedure and in an emergency scenario. As this disease is a natural model that resembles oral anticoagulation, our experience discloses a possible rationale in the use of recombinant activated …
Folate, related B vitamins, and homocysteine in childhood and adolescence: potential implications for disease risk in later life.
2009
OBJECTIVES. Folate and the metabolically related B vitamins are an important priority throughout life, but few studies have examined their status through childhood and adolescence. The aims of the current study were to investigate age, gender, and lifestyle factors as determinants of folate, related B-vitamin status, and homocysteine concentrations among British children and adolescents and to propose age-specific reference ranges for these biomarkers, which, at present, are unavailable. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS. Data from the National Dietary and Nutritional Survey of 2127 young people aged 4 to 18 years were accessed to provide a representative sample of British children. All of the subje…
Effects of pulsed electric fields on water-soluble vitamins and ACE inhibitory peptides added to a mixed orange juice and milk beverage
2007
Abstract The effects of pulsed electric fields technology (15–40 kV/cm; 0–700 μs) and thermal processing (84 °C and 95 °C, 15–120 s) were studied on an orange juice and milk mixed beverage fortified with water-soluble vitamins (biotin, folic acid, pantothenic acid and riboflavin) and angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides. The evaluation of the technologies was carried out from two points of view: effect of treatments and effect of storage (4 °C, 81 days). The results confirmed the stability of the vitamins and the ACE inhibitory activity after the PEF treatment and during storage.
Vitamin D and Osteoporosis in HIV/HCV Coinfected Patients: A Literature Review
2015
Vitamin D deficiency further increases the risk of osteoporosis in HIV-positive patients coinfected with hepatitis C virus (HCV); however, it is still unclear whether HCV-related increased fracture risk is a function of the severity of liver disease. The aim of this review was to identify studies on associative vitamin D deficiency patterns in high-risk populations such as HIV/HCV coinfected patients. We did this by searching MEDLINE and EMBASE databases, from inception to August 2014, and included bibliographies. The final 12 articles selected are homogeneous in terms of age but heterogeneous in terms of sample size, participant recruitment, and data source. Most of the HIV/HCV coinfected …
