Hip viscosupplementation under ultra-sound guidance riduces NSAID consumption in symptomatic hip osteoarthritis patients in a long follow-up. Data fr…
2011
Introduction: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) consumption is strictly related to a high gastrointestinal and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity rate. Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) recommendations in patients with symptomatic hip or knee OA stated that NSAIDs should be used at the lowest effective dose but their long-term use should be avoided if possible. OARSI guidelines for the treatment of the hip OA include the use of viscosupplementation, which aims to restore physiological and rheological features of the synovial fluid. Objective: Aim of this multicentric, open and retrospective study is to investigate if NSAID consumption may be reduced by t…
All that glitters is not gold: A spinal epidural empyema following epidural steroid injection
2020
Background: Therapeutic epidural spinal injections (ESIs) of steroids are one of the most common nonsurgical management modalities employed for alleviating pain due to chronic persistent lumbar spinal disease. However, it is well documented that they have significant risks and complications without any long-term efficacy. ESI may result in epidural empyema which may be difficult to diagnose with delays resulting in significant permanent neurological sequelae. Case Description: A 45-year-old female presented with a lumbar spinal epidural empyema after receiving ESI for low back and right leg pain due to a lumbar disc herniation. Laboratory studies showed elevations of multiple inflammatory …
Immune-mediated rippling muscle disease with myasthenia gravis: a report of seven patients with long-term follow-up in two.
2009
We report seven patients with immune-mediated rippling muscle disease (iRMD) and AChR-antibody positive myasthenia gravis (MG) without germline caveolin-3 gene mutations. We describe the follow-up of two patients and the clinical features of five new patients (1 female, 4 male, aged 32 to 69 years). These presented with significant generalized, exercise-induced and electrically-silent muscle rippling with myalgia, combined with generalized MG. In two of the seven patients, MG appeared before iRMD. Mediastinal imaging excluded thymic alterations in all, although two had other coincident tumours. Myalgia and rippling were aggravated by acetylcholinesterase-inhibitor treatment. Generalized MG …
The Effect of Acetylsalicylic Acid, as a Representative Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug, on the Activity of Myeloperoxidase
2023
Background: Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA or aspirin) is one of the world’s most widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Numerous studies have shown that the long-term use of aspirin may contribute to longer survival among patients with various types of cancer, including ovarian cancer. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ASA on myeloperoxidase (MPO), which is found at an elevated level in women with ovarian cancer, among others. Methods: The influence of different concentrations of ASA on the chlorinating and peroxidase activity of MPO was analysed. The relationship between the concentration of ASA and the degree of inhibition of MPO activity was deter…

DIFFERENTIAL INFLUENCE OF PERIPHERAL AND SYSTEMIC SEX STEROIDS ON SKELETAL MUSCLE QUALITY IN PRE- AND POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN.
2011
Aging is associated with gradual decline of skeletal muscle strength and mass often leading to diminished muscle quality. This phenomenon is known as sarcopenia and affects about 30% of the over 60-year-old population. Androgens act as anabolic agents regulating muscle mass and improving muscle performance. The role of female sex steroids as well as the ability of skeletal muscle tissue to locally produce sex steroids has been less extensively studied. We show that despite the extensive systemic deficit of sex steroid hormones in postmenopausal compared to premenopausal women, the hormone content of skeletal muscle does not follow the same trend. In contrast to the systemic levels, muscle t…
Tuntematon päihde : sotilaiden päihteiden käyttö toisen maailmansodan aikana
2017
Tämä tutkielma käsittelee sotilaiden päihteiden käyttöä toisen maailmansodan aikana. Lähdeaineistona on käytetty muistelmateoksia sekä Kansa taisteli -lehden artikkeleita. Työssä on myös siteerattu sotaa käsittelevistä kaunokirjallisista teoksista Sotaromaania, Sissiluutnanttia ja Unohdettua sotilasta. Tarkastelu on tapahtunut sosiaalihistorian näkökulmasta hyödyntäen uuden sotilashistorian sekä muistihistorian näkökulmia. Päihteillä oli oma osansa toisessa maailmansodassa. Tämä tutkielma selvittää syitä miksi päihteitä käytettiin ja mihin tapahtumiin tai tapauksiin päihteiden käyttö liittyi. Käsiteltävät päihteet ovat alkoholi sekä huumeista morfiini, heroiini ja amfetamiinivalmiste Pervit…
Nesteroīdo pretiekaisuma līdzekļu aprite aptiekā
2020
Nesteroīdie pretiekaisuma līdzekļi (NPL) ir vispieprasītākā medikamentu grupa pasaulē. Galvenie iemesli NPL lietošanai ir sāpes, iekaisums un drudzis. Darba mērķis bija salīdzināt NPL pieprasījumu par 2017., 2018. un 2019. gadu, kā arī noskaidrot, kādas ir biežākās blakusparādības, ar kurām šo medikamentu lietošanas laikā sastopas respondenti. Darba uzdevumi bija izanalizēt NPL apgrozījumu vienā no SIA “Euro aptieka” tīkla aptiekām, kura atrodas Rīgā, Ziepniekkalna rajonā par 2017., 2018. un 2019. gadu, noskaidrot, kuri NPL medikamenti ir vispieprasītākie, noskaidrot, kādas ir visbiežākās blakusparādības respondentiem, noskaidrot, kādas sāpes biežāk piemeklē respondentus. Iegūtie dati lieci…
