Dietary strategy for prevention and management of dyslipidemia: international guidelines
2012
Primary prevention of cardiovascular disease should begin with a detailed metabolic study of our patients who must follow a nutritional therapy. Recently, new guidelines ESC/EAS 2011 on the treatment of dyslipidemia have been drawn up, according to which it is possible to arrive at desirable values of cholesterol and triglycerides with a synergy between drug treatment and adequate diet therapy. At this time, Mediterranean diet has been undergoing a radical transformation: there is hyperalimentation of the Mediterranean diet in all its components. The effectiveness of the Mediterranean diet on the reduction of lipids has been demonstrated, and the problem is how to implement this diet in the…
Prevalencia de los trastornos del espectro autista: revisión de datos
2016
Published data on the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders point to a significant increase in this indicator. This increase is being studied in numerous publications of analysis, meta-analysis and systematic reviews. The prevalence indicates the proportion of people who suffer at a given time or are diagnosed with a disease. The consequences of the increasing prevalence are relevant from the point of health, social and educational, but especially relevant when as is the case, the cause of the disorder is unknown. It is in this sense that the prevalence study gains importance in order to delimit various circumstances that may give clues to the possible cause or causes that generate disord…
P-0023 Gastric Cancer in Latvia in 1980 – 2010
2012
ABSTRACT Introduction According to GLOBOCAN 2008 data gastric cancer currently is the fourth most common cancer worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer death. The objective of this study was to get comparable data on gastric cancer for 30 years period, to analyze the trends of incidence and mortality in Latvia and to compare with situation in other countries. Methods Incidence and mortality data from 1980 to 2010 in Latvia were obtained from the National Health Service. IARC (GLOBOCAN 2008) database was used for international comparisons. Incidence and mortality rates were age standardized to the World Standard Population and expressed per 100,000 population. Results There were…
Bibliometric analysis of core journals which publish articles of physical therapy on aging.
2020
Objective Increase in population's longevity has led to considerable efforts worldwide on physical therapy aging research. The aim of this study is to identify which are the main scientific journals, as well as the most productive authors, institutions and keywords related to the journals, that have published about physical therapy and aging. Methods Original articles published from 1990 to 2014 were retrieved from the bibliographic database Science Citation Index Expanded of Web of Science Core Collection. After standardization of the bibliographic information, a series of bibliometric indicators was obtained regarding authors, institutions, citation and keywords of the core journals using…
FRI0189 POOLED ANALYSIS OF THE REAL-WORLD EFFECTIVENESS OF BELIMUMAB IN TREATMENT OF SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS USING MULTI-COUNTRY DATA FROM THE O…
2019
Background: Real-world evidence of belimumab effectiveness in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been reported separately for several countries through the OBSErve (evaluation Of use of Belimumab in clinical practice SEttings) programme. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of belimumab in patients with SLE using pooled data from the individual OBSErve studies. Methods: This was a post hoc meta-analysis (GSK study 206351) of patient level data pooled from six retrospective observational cohort studies (Argentina, Canada, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, United States of America). Physicians provided data for adults (≥18 years; clinical diagnosis of SLE) who had initiated …
LOW BACK PAIN IN YOUNG TEAM SPORT PLAYERS: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
2014
Background Low back pain (LBP) is a common complaint in general population affecting both genders and almost all age-groups. LBP is a common problem in sports as well, even in younger populations. LBP is prone to recur, thus there is a need for studies on the early phases of the problem in different sports. Objective To investigate the prevalence, nature, severity and risk factors of self-reported LBP in young team sport players. Design A retrospective cross-sectional study. Setting Finnish female and male basketball, floorball, ice hockey and volleyball teams. Participants This study is a part of an ongoing cohort study exploring risk factors for sports injuries. Players from 22 teams, a t…
Predicting risk of acute rejection in patients with kidney transplants
2009
Objective: Create a model to predict the risk of acute rejection of kidney transplant considering variables related to the immunosuppressant agent used, the receiver, the donor, and the transplanted organ. Methods: Cohort study in a population of 68 patients with kidney transplants being treated with tacrolimus triple therapy. Predicting the risk of acute rejection was carried out with a logistic regression analysis using age, sex, retransplant status, number of HLA incompatibilities, cold ischaemia time, acute tubular necrosis, induction with basiliximab or thymoglobulin, and treatment type as explanatory variables. The contribution of variables associated with determining the blood concen…
Frovatriptan vs almotriptan for treatment of menstrual migraine: a double-blind, randomized, cross-over, multicenter Italian study
2013
Results 67 of the 96 female patients of the intention-to-treat population of the main study had regular menstrual cycles and were thus included in this subgroup analysis. 77 migraine attacks classified as related to menses were treated with frovatriptan and 78 with almotriptan. Rate of pain relief at 2and 4-hrs was 36% and 53% for frovatriptan and 41% and 50% for almotriptan (p=NS between treatments). Rate of pain free at 2and 4-hrs was 19% and 47% with frovatriptan and 29% and 54% for almotriptan (p=NS). At 24-hrs, 62% of frovatriptanand 67% of almotriptan-treated patients had pain relief, while 60% vs. 67% were pain free (p=NS). Recurrence at 24-hrs was significantly (p<0.05) lower with f…
Outcomes of transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention by right ventricular function: a multicentre propensity-matched analysis
2021
BACKGROUND Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has a poor prognosis and limited treatment options and is frequently accompanied by right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions (TTVI) to reduce TR have been shown to be safe and feasible with encouraging early results. Patient selection for TTVI remains challenging, with the role of right ventricular (RV) function being unknown. AIMS The aims of this study were 1) to investigate survival in a TTVI-treated patient population and a conservatively treated TR population, and 2) to evaluate the outcome of TTVI as compared to conservative treatment stratified according to the degree of RV function. METHODS We studied 684…
One-stage bilateral versus unilateral short-stem total hip arthroplasty: A matched-pair analysis of 216 hips
2021
Abstract Background One-stage, bilateral, short-stem total hip arthroplasty (1B-ssTHA) represents an alternative to staged, unilateral, short-stem total hip arthroplasty (U-ssTHA); however, the safety and reliability of 1B-ssTHA remain unknown. The objective of the present study was to compare the functional outcomes, complications, and mortality rates between 1B-ssTHA and U-ssTHA at mid-term. Methods A retrospective, matched-pair study was performed, including 216 short stems implanted in 162 patients. Among the study population, 54 patients were treated with 1B-ssTHA. Patients were matched by gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classificatio…
