Counseling intervention to improve quality of life in patients with pre-existing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or chronic obstructive pulmonary d…
2018
In the light of diagnostic and therapeutic advances, patients with a previous myocardial infarction or with a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are vulnerable and need continuous monitoring over time. These pathological frameworks have a strong impact on the economy and on the status of the population and require effective and low-cost solutions.The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy in the short term of a telephone counseling intervention to modify the lifestyles of these two patient populations.In May 2015, all the patients included in the study underwent a questionnaire to evaluate their eating and smoking habits and their quality of life. After…
Chemical and biological evaluation of cross-linked halloysite-curcumin derivatives
2020
Abstract Well designed and safe nano drug carrier systems are an important tool in biomedical applications. The combination of two or more drugs has been used in medicine both to enhance the therapeutic effect and to decrease the side effects of drugs. Biocompatible halloysite nanotubes, that possess two different surfaces, are a suitable nanomaterial for a simultaneous carrier and release of two drugs that can exert a synergistic effect against cancer cells. In this study, three curcumin derivatives and doxorubicin were loaded by supramolecular and covalent linkage at the lumen and external surface of the halloysite nanotubes. The obtained multifunctional systems were characterized by seve…
Hormonal differences in intimate partner violence perpetrators when they cope with acute stress: A pilot study
2021
Background: Only a few studies have paid attention to the ability of perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPVAW) against women to cope with acute stress, including hormonal pa-rameters. In fact, previous studies assessed how salivary testosterone (Tsal) and cortisol (Csal) changed after coping with an acute emotional stressor (directly related to IPVAW), and they con-cluded that an imbalance between the two hormones might be characteristic of these men. Never-theless, they neglected to examine the role of other hormones, such as salivary oxytocin (OXsal), which also seemed to play an important role in behavioral regulation, and whether this response could be generalized to other types…
Silent and symptomatic atrial fibrillation,during the acute phase of myocardial infarction : determinants and role of arginine methylated and oxidati…
2015
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with a poorer prognosis. Silent atrial fibrillation has been suggested to be frequent after AMI. However, most part of the studies has targeted only paroxysmal or persistent AF. Thus, Reduced Nitric Oxide availability and endothelial dysfunction has been recently recognized as a possible contributor to altered prognosis in AF. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) can inhibit nitric oxide synthase and leads to endothelial dysfunction, inflammation and oxidative stress in multiple cardiovascular diseases. However, any study has addressed the relationship between ADMA levels and the occurrence of AF in AMI.W…
Fibrinogen as predictor of mortality in a 42-months follow-up after acute myocardial infarction
2002
Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 306 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (HALE) for 188 countr…
2015
Summary Background The Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) aims to bring together all available epidemiological data using a coherent measurement framework, standardised estimation methods, and transparent data sources to enable comparisons of health loss over time and across causes, age–sex groups, and countries. The GBD can be used to generate summary measures such as disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) and healthy life expectancy (HALE) that make possible comparative assessments of broad epidemiological patterns across countries and time. These summary measures can also be used to quantify the component of variation in epidemiology that is related to sociodemographic develo…
The effect of time on physiological changes in eel Anguilla anguilla, induced by lindane.
1991
Abstract 1. 1. Eel were exposed to a sublethal concentration of lindane (0.335 ppm) for 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hr. 2. 2. Concentrations of glycogen, glucose, lactate, pyruvate and lipids were determined in gill tissue after lindane exposure. 3. 3. Gill glycogen descreased and glucose levels increased at 6 hr of treatment, lactate and pyruvate concentration increased between 6 and 48 hr. Total lipid values decreased between 6 and 24 hr; thereafter, the levels increased up to 72 hr of exposure. 4. 4. Clear changes were found in all parameters tested in gill tissues. The observed effects of lindane on metabolism in fish are discussed in relation to acute stress syndrome.
Hepatische Manifestation eines Makrophagen-Aktivierungs-Syndroms (MAS)
2017
Hintergrund Leberwerterhohungen gehoren zu den haufigsten pathologischen Laborbefunden in Deutschland. Haufige Ursachen einer Leberwerterhohung stellen neben einer nutritiv- und medikamentos-toxischen Schadigung, vor allem bei jungeren Patienten, virale oder autoimmune Ursachen dar. Das MAS kann sich ahnlich einer viralen Infektionserkrankung mit Fieber, Hepatosplenomegalie und Panzytopenie manifestieren und ist mit einer hohen Mortalitat assoziiert. Zugrunde liegt eine verstarkte Aktivierung der Makrophagen mit gesteigerter Zytokinausschuttung, was zu Endorganschaden mit Multiorganversagen fuhren kann. Neben genetischen Ursachen findet sich ein MAS haufig im Zusammenhang mit Infekten und r…
Besondere Kreislaufreaktionen im akuten Stadium der Sch�del-Hirnsch�digungen
1963
Die Kreislaufanalyse bei 1639 Schadel-Hirnverletzten im akuten Stadium hat ergeben, das echte Schocksyndrome mit schwerem Kreislaufkollaps auffallend selten zur Beobachtung gelangen und vorwiegend nur dann, wenn erheblichere Nebenverletzungen (abdominal, thoracal, Extremitaten) bestehen. Sehr viel haufiger ist dagegen eine sogenannte hypertonische Kreislaufreaktion im akuten Stadium zu sehen, insbesondere in Fallen mit einer alleinigen Schadel-Hirnschadigung (ohne anderweitige Nebenverletzungen). Der Schweregrad der hypertonischen Reaktion scheint in manchen Fallen der Schwere der Verletzung zu entsprechen, da systolische Druckanstiege um 200 mg Hg und mehr fast ausschlieslich in Fallen mit…
Konzentrationsverhalten der Plasmaglycosphingolipide bei akuter Hepatitis
1977
Im menschlichen Blutplasma kommen hauptsachlich vier neutrale Glycosphingolipidfraktionen vor: Monohexosyl-, Dihexosyl-, Trihexosyl- und Tetrahexosylceramid. Bei Patienten mit akuter Hepatitis (n=21) sind in der akuten Phase die vier Glycosphingolipidfraktionen im Plasma gegenuber einem gesunden Kontrollkollektiv (n=23) erhoht. Mit Ausnahme der Trihexosylceramidfraktion last sich die Erhohung statistisch sichern. Gleichzeitig kommt es in der akuten Phase der Hepatitis zu einer statistisch signifikanten Cholesterin- und Triglyceriderhohung. Es wird gefolgert, das die Erhohung der Glycosphingolipide im Plasma bei der akuten Hepatitis im Zusammenhang mit der Fettstoffwechselstorung auftritt un…
