Effects of Antihypertensive Treatment on Peripheral Flow of the Lower Limbs
1984
The clinical pattern determined in subjects that undergo a high and prolonged pressure regime is defined as “hypertensive disease”.
The causes of low adherence in patients with antihypertensive therapy
2016
Low adherence to antihypertensive therapy is a major cause of adverse cardiovascular outcomes by uncontrolled high blood pressure. If the most frequent causes of inappropriate taking of medicine are identified, possible improvements within the health care could be performed, promoting the safety and efficacy of antihypertensive therapy. The aim was to find the factors affecting patient's adherence during antihypertensive therapy. In the period from June to September 2014 a quantitative study was carried out including patients with diagnosed arterial hypertension who visited pharmacies in Riga to get the antihypertensive therapy. The study collected data of 152 patients with the mean antihyp…
VS07�EXCELLENT LATE OUTCOME WITH DENATURATED HUMAN UMBILICAL VEIN (HUV) IN FEMOROPOPLITEAL BYPASS SURGERY - A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF BI…
2009
Purpose: Femoropopliteal bypass with autologous vein provides excellent long term results in lower limb bypass. In case of unsuitable vein generally synthetic PTFE prostheses are preferred. Denaturated human umbilical vein was used as femoropopliteal bypass graft when autologous vein was not available. Long term results of a consecutive single center series are presented. Methodology: HUV was implanted in femoropopliteal position in case of unavailable vein for symptomatic peripheral vascular disease or popliteal aneurysm. Follow-up examinations were performed after 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months and annually thereafter. Duplex scan was used for detection of potential biodegeneration of the HU…
A double blind placebo-controlled study on the rectal administration of morphine as a premedication in abdominal hysterectomy
2000
Abstract Benzodiazepines are now commonly used as anxiolytic premedication prior to surgery. However, the role of opioids, as a premedication, has diminished over the last decades and they are no longer routinely used for premedication. Rather, opioids are generally used to treat severe pain in the postoperative period. Studies have shown that both NSAIDs and opioids improve analgesia in the early postoperative period. Until now, there have been no studies investigating the effect of morphine as a rectal premedication in adults in combination with blood levels of morphine. The effect of a rectal premedication with 30 mg of morphine sulphate, on postoperative pain levels and opioid consumpti…

ESRA19-0239 Surgical treatment of femoral and knee injuries under peripheral regional anaesthesia: a case series
2019
Background and aims Neuroaxial anaesthesia is gold standard for lower extremity surgeries. Nowadays the introduction of ultrasound guided peripheral nerves blocks (PBN) changed the approach to orthopaedic surgery. Methods This case series evaluates postoperative pain in 17 patients with femoral or knee fractures who received PNB because of contraindications to subarachnoid anaesthesia (eg. anticoagulation therapies, refusal). We performed femoral nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 15 ml), obturators nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 7 ml), lateral cutaneous nerve block (levobupivacaine 0.5% 3 ml) and sciatic nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 20 ml) focusing on a lateral approach according to…
Wellbeing and occupational risk perception among health care workers: a multicenter study in Morocco and France
2016
International audience; BACKGROUND: The study analyzes health care workers' (HCWs) occupational risk perception and compares exposure to occupational risk factors in Moroccan and French hospitals.METHOD: Across nine public hospitals from three Moroccan regions (north, center and south), a 49 item French questionnaire, based on the Job Content Questionnaire, and 4 occupational risks subscales, was distributed to 4746 HCWs. Internal consistency of the study was determined for each subscale. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on the Moroccan questionnaire. Psychosocial job demand, job decision latitude and social support scores analysis was used to isolate high strain jobs. Occupationa…
Surgery vs. chemotherapy for ovarian cancer recurrence: what is the best treatment option
2020
Nowadays, the best treatment option for ovarian cancer recurrence is often subjective, can vary in the different centers and depend on personal experience. Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynaekologische Onkologie (AGO)-DESKTOP studies have identified a population of patients who could benefit from secondary surgery. The results of the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG)-0213 study were recently published, which showed no advantage in terms of overall survival (OS) in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian undergoing secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) compared to chemotherapy alone. Aim of this narrative review is to summarize the best aspects that can make ovarian cancer recurre…
Myogenic effects enhance norepinephrine constriction: Inhibition by nitric oxide and felodipine
1998
Myogenic effects enhance norepinephrine constriction: Inhibition by nitric oxide and felodipine. Myogenic, pressure-induced vasoconstriction may amplify the effects of circulating vasoconstrictors. Through intravital microscopy in cremaster arterioles (31 to 115 μm diameter), the relative contribution of myogenic responses (MR) to norepinephrine (NE)-induced constriction and the inhibitor potency of nitric oxide (NO) or a Ca2+ entry blocker (CEB), felodipine (F), were examined. In 24 anesthetized hamsters, a vessel occluder was placed around the aorta to control cremaster vessel inflow pressure (IP). NE infusion increased blood pressure (by 50 ± 2mm Hg) and induced significant constriction …
Premedication with midazolam in intellectually disabled dental patients: Intramuscular or oral administration? A retrospective study
2016
Background: The use of midazolam for dental care in patients with intellectual disability is poorly documented. The purpose of this study was to determine which method of premedication is more effective for these patients, 0.15 mg/kg of intramuscular midazolam or 0.3 mg/kg of oral midazolam. Material and Methods: This study was designed and implemented as a non-randomized retrospective study. The study population was composed of patients with intellectual disability who required dental treatment under ambulatory general anesthesia from August 2009 through April 2013. Patients were administered 0.15 mg/kg of midazolam intramuscularly (Group IM) or 0.3 mg/kg orally (Group PO). The predictor v…
