POINT: Efficacy of adding mitral valve restrictive annuloplasty to coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with moderate ischemic mitral valve re…
2009
ObjectiveSurgical management of moderate chronic ischemic mitral valve regurgitation is still debated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding mitral valve repair to coronary artery bypass grafting on clinical outcomes and left ventricular remodeling in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting alone versus coronary artery bypass grafting plus mitral valve repair in a randomized trial.MethodsBetween February 2003 and May 2007, 102 patients were eligible for this study and were randomly assigned to one of 2 groups by means of card allocation: coronary artery bypass grafting plus mitral valve repair (CABG plus MVR group; 48 patients, 47%) or coronary artery byp…
Psychometric properties of the Finnish version of the Young Person's Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (YP-CORE) questionnaire.
2017
An increasing need exists for suitable measures to evaluate treatment outcome in adolescents. YP-CORE is a pan-theoretical brief questionnaire developed for this purpose, but it lacks studies in different cultures or languages.To explore the acceptability, factor structure, reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change of the Finnish translation of YP-CORE.The study was conducted at the Department of Adolescent Psychiatry, Helsinki University Central Hospital. A Finnish translation was prepared by a team of professionals and adolescents. A clinical sample of 104 patients was asked to complete the form together with BDI-21 and BAI, and 92 of them filled the forms again after a 3-month tre…
Clinical outcomes of patients with diabetes mellitus treated with Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffolds: a subanalysis of the European Multicentre …
2017
Background Data on the clinical performance of bioresorbable scaffolds in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are still limited. The present study reported 1-year clinical outcomes associated with the use of everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (Absorb BVS; Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA) in DM patients. Methods and Results This was a subanalysis from the GHOST-EU (Gauging coronary Healing with biOresorbable Scaffolding plaTforms in Europe) multicenter retrospective registry including patients treated with Absorb BVS between November 2011 and September 2014. In this study, a comparative analysis stratified according to DM was performed. The primary endpoint was target lesi…
VDR MUTATION IN TWO SISTERS: PHENOTYPE VARIABILITY AND CLINICAL OUTCOME
2017
Objectives: Hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) is an autosomal recessive disease secondary to the mutation of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene. These children show an early onset of rickets and in some of them alopecia is associated. Methods: We describe clinical features and laboratory findings in two sisters affected by HVDRR, as well as their response to treatment. Results: The first born is now 4 years old and had a severe and resistant hypocalcaemia, with low response to high doses of calcium per os, the requirement of intravenous infusion of calcium for a prolonged period, hypocalcaemic seizures resolved with high doses of intravenous calcium and high doses of vitamin D. Clin…
Klīnisko rezultātu novērtēšana pēc ceļa locītavu endoprotezēšanas
2016
Novecojušā sabiedrībā ar pieaugošo dzīves ilgumu, pieaug arī pieprasījums pēc pilnīgas ceļa locītavas aizvietošanas. Tajā pašā laikā cilvēki sešdesmit un septiņdesmit gadu vecumā ir daudz aktīvāki kā iepriekšējā paaudze un prasīgāki attiecībā uz mobilitāti. Klīniskais iznākums pilnīgai ceļa locītavas aizvietošanai ir mainīgs, jo viens no pieciem pacientiem nav apmierināts pēc operācijas. Ir vairāki gan ar pacientu saistīti, gan ar veselības aprūpi saistīti faktori, kas ietekmē pilnīgas ceļa locītavas aizvietošanas iznākumu. Mērķis ir apskatīt publicēto literatūru un parādīt gan ar pacientu, gan ar veselības aprūpi saistītos faktorus, kas ietekmē pilnīgas ceļa locītas aizvietošanas iznākumu.
The Effects of Dance Movement Therapy in the Treatment of Depression: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial in Finland
2020
This multicenter research investigates the effects of dance movement therapy (DMT) on participants diagnosed with depression. In total, 109 persons participated in the study in various locations in Finland. The participants were 39 years old, on average (range = 18–64 years), and most were female (96%). All participants received treatment as usual (TAU). They were randomized into DMT + TAU (n = 52) or TAU only (n = 57). The participants in the DMT + TAU group were offered 20 DMT sessions twice a week for 10 weeks in addition to standard care. The measurement points included pretreatment measurement at the baseline, posttreatment measurement at the end of the intervention, and a follow-up me…
Mitral valve therapy still surgical?
2015
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most common valvular heart disease after aortic valve stenosis. With increased understanding of the heterogenic pathophysiology of MR, cardiac surgeons have developed various techniques that increase the likelihood of successful mitral valve repair (MVR). Nowadays, a rate of repair >90% may be reached in some mitral valve reference centres. In recent years, the introduction of transcatheter mitral valve intervention techniques has opened up new frontiers in mitral therapy, specifically in patients at high risk for standard surgery. Current percutaneous technologies for MVR have been developed on the basis of some of the surgical principles. Based on c…
