Somatoforma veģetatīva disfunkcija farmaceita praksē
2020
Ar terminu “somatoforma veģetatīva disfunkcija” (SVD) tiek apzīmēti ķermeņa funkciju un sajūtu traucējumi, gadījumos, kad objektīvs un medicīniski izskaidrojams šo traucējumu iemesls netiek atrasts. Cilvēki ar SVD izjūt dažādus simptomus, piemēram, trauksmi, nemieru, paaugstinātu uzbudināmību, sāpes, kuņģa-zarnu trakta darbības traucējumus, sirds un asinsvadu sistēmas traucējumus, kas izraisa pastāvīgu uztraukumu un diskomfortu. Šie pacienti pārmērīgi meklē medicīnisko palīdzību un mierinājumu, bet viņiem ir grūti pieņemt ne patoloģiskus rezultātus medicīniskajā izmeklēšanā. SVD ir grūti diagnosticējama un prasa vairāku speciālistu palīdzību, ka arī paša cilvēka izturību un līdzestību. SVD …
Maladaptive stress coping: An additional psychological factor in the process of chronification of pain or pruritus
2021
Background: Inflammatory skin diseases with chronic pruritus and chronic back pain are very common symptoms in the general population and are associated with a reduced quality of life (QOL). In addition to biological factors, psychosocial reasons are also considered to be responsible for their development. So far, it is not known whether chronic pruritus and chronic back pain are related to maladaptive stress coping. Patients and methods: In our matched pilot case-control study with a total of 259 analyzed subjects, we compared outpatient groups, one suffering from chronic skin diseases with pruritus, the other with chronic back pain, to a healthy control group in terms of their stress copi…
Genetic Factors as Promising Biomarkers of Sporadic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm
2014
Thoracic aorta shows various changes with advancing age and a progressive deterioration in structure and function. As a result, vascular remodeling (VR) and medial degeneration (MD) occur. VR and MD are typical entities of sporadic thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), actually considered a common and serious health risk and a pathology by unclear mechanisms. Increased activity of the coagulation system, inflammation, activation of extracellular matrix remodeling and endothelial dysfunction pathways have been recently evidenced to have a key role in its onset. Thus, polymorphisms of the coagulation system [fibrinogen (rs1800790); Factor II ( rs1799963); Factor V (rs6025); Factor VII (rs121964926)…
The relationship between endothlial ABD erectile dysfunction, levels of testosterone and cardiovascular events in the follow-up
2016
Background: Clinical and experimental evidence suggest that testosterone levels play a role in cardiac and vascular pathology. A long history of observational studies investigating serum testosterone level and cardiovascular risks, specifically mortality, reveals important associations between low testosterone and mortality, while higher serum testosterone level appear to be predictive in the majority of studies. On the other hand, it is well documented and accepted that endothelial dysfunction is expression of preclinical atherosclerosis and it is associated with an increased amount of CV events in the follow-up. Erectile dysfunction is also an early manifestation of arteriosclerosis assoc…
Relationship Between Cannabis Use and Erectile Dysfunction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
2019
Globally, there is increasing usage and legalization of cannabis. In addition to its reported therapeutic effects, cannabis has several health risks which are not clearly defined. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the most common male sexual disorder and there are plausible mechanisms linking cannabis use to ED. No attempt has been made to collate the literature on this topic. The aim of this review was to summarize the prevalence and risk of ED in cannabis users compared to controls. A systematic review of major databases from inception to January 1, 2019, without language restriction, was undertaken to identify studies investigating cannabis use and presence of ED. The analysis compared the p…
Urīnizvadceļu agrīno komplikāciju raksturojums pacientiem pēc taisnās zarnas vēža rezekcijas
2018
Mūsdienu klīniskajā medicīnā taisnās zarnas vēzis ir viena no nopietnām problēmām. Taisnās zarnas vēža ārstēšana balstās, galvenokārt, uz ķirurģiskās operācijas, kas, neskatoties uz visu mūsdienas medicīnas attīstību, var novest pie vairākām komplikācijām. Starp visiem pēcoperācijas traucējumiem vienu no vietām aizņem urīna izvadceļu komplikācijas. Zinātniskajos avotos ir aprakstīts, ka pētāmā problēma ir sastopamā 5-88% gadījumos, vīdēji 27% gadījumos, kas ir ļoti būtiski. Minētā tēma ir pētīta no pagājušā gadsimta, bet neskatoties uz lielu un aktīvo zinātnisko interesi, arī šodien pastāv dažādi un dažreiz pretrunīgi viedokļi un atšķirīgi dati par faktoriem, kas ietekmē pēcoperācijas urīna…
Female reproductive factors are associated with objectively measured physical activity in middle-aged women
2017
Physical activity improves health and may delay the onset of several chronic diseases. For women in particular, the rate of these diseases accelerates at middle age; therefore it is important to identify the determinants of health-enhancing physical activity during midlife in this population. In this study, we focused on determinants that are unique to the female sex, such as childbearing and menopause. The main objective was to characterize the level of physical activity and differences between active and inactive middle-aged Finnish women. In addition, we examined the association of physical activity with female reproductive factors at midlife. The study population consisted of 647 women …
Silto acu komprešu ietekme uz acs asaru slāņa īpašībām
2021
Pētījuma mērķis bija novērtēt silto komprešu terapijas efektivitāti uz asaru slāņa īpašībām pacientiem ar sausas acs subjektīvo simptomātiku. 18 pētījuma dalībniekieki, lietojot TheraPearl acu maskas divas reizes dienā no rīta un vakarā pa 5 vai 10 minūtēm, veica silto komprešu terapiju 14 dienu periodā. Diagnostikie mērījumi pirms terapijas, pēc terapijas un trīs nedēļas pēc terapijas beigām tika veikti asaru slāņa īpašību novērtēšanai. Dalībnieki pēc terapijas uzrādīja ievērojamu OSDI un DEQ-5 anketu rezultāta uzlabošanos un uzlabojums saglabājās arī trīs nedēļas pēc terapijas beigām. Pēc terapijas netika novērots statiski būtisks uzlabojums neinvazīvajā asaru slāņa plīšanas laikā (NIBUT).
INFLUENCIA DE FACTORES FAMILIARES Y PERSONALES EN LA EVOLUCIÓN NEGATIVA DEL TDAH
2016
Abstract.INFLUENCE OF PERSONAL AND FAMILY FACTORS ON THE NEGATIVE COURSE OF ADHDObjective. To study the effect of the cumulative adversity on the course of ADHD symptoms, associated problems and dysfunctionality of ADHD children. Method. 61 families of children with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD combined subtype were evaluated on two different times (Time I: mean age = 8.7; Time II: mean age = 11). We developed a personal risk index (high levels of ADHD symptoms, high number of associated problems, presence of oppositionism, stressful child characteristics and family history of ADHD), a family risk index (presence of mothers’ psychopathology, high parental stress and dysfunctional discipline…
