Impact of exaggerated blood pressure response in normotensive individuals on future hypertension and prognosis: Systematic review according to PRISMA…

2016

Abstract Purpose Arterial hypertension (aHT) is the leading risk factor for morbidity and mortality worldwide. Blood pressure (BP) deviation at rest is well defined and accompanies risk for cardiovascular events and cardiovascular mortality. A growing body of evidence emphasises that an exaggerated blood pressure response (EBPR) in cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) could help to identify seemingly cardiovascular healthy and normotensive subjects, who have an increased risk of developing aHT and cardiovascular events in the future. Materials and methods The PubMed online database was searched for published studies reporting exercise-related BP and both the risk of aHT and cardiovascula…

In patients with mild GO, local measures and anexpectant strate…

Construction of the client in physiotherapy student's practical learning sessions: a discourse analytic study

2008

In recent years, there has been a tendency to stress the active role and equal partnership of clients in social and healthcare. Moreover, research in the role of clients has attracted growing interest. Clinical education has been seen as an excellent arena for learning the distinctiveness of the interaction between the client and the professional physiotherapist by giving students the chance to participate in actual healthcare encounters. This study focuses on examining the construction of various client roles through interactions between participants in practical learning sessions that physiotherapy students took part in. These sessions were real professional physiotherapy encounters. Qual…

PoLA/CFPiP/PCS/PSLD/PSD/PSH guidelines on diagnosis and therapy of lipid disorders in Poland 2021

2021

Pomimo 30 lat (simwastatyna została dopuszczona w 1991 przez FDA do stosowania klinicznego [1]) starań ekspertów, towarzystw i organizacji pacjenckich zaburzenia lipidowe wciąż stanowią wyzwanie diagnostyczne, ale przede wszystkim terapeutyczne. Dotyczy to zarówno właściwej oceny ryzyka pacjentów, włączenia odpowiedniego leczenia, problemów z jego adherencją, ale także problemów z tak ważnym leczeniem niefarmakologicznym – dietą, redukcją masy ciała czy regularnym wysiłkiem fizycznym [2]. Nie można także umniejszać znaczenia inercji terapeutycznej, czy to polegającej na niewłaściwie dobranej terapii (najczęściej brakiem intensywnego leczenia statynami czy jeszcze rzadziej leczenia skojarzon…

Critical Appraisal of Scientific Articles

2009

Despite the increasing number of scientific publications, many physicians find themselves with less and less time to read what others have written. Selection, reading, and critical appraisal of publications is, however, necessary to stay up to date in one’s field. This is also demanded by the precepts of evidence-based medicine (1, 2). Besides the medical content of a publication, its interpretation and evaluation also require understanding of the statistical methodology. Sadly, not even in science are all terms always used correctly. The word "significance," for example, has been overused because significant (or positive) results are easier to get published (3, 4). The aim of this article …

Malignant Melanoma S3-Guideline “Diagnosis, Therapy and Follow-up of Melanoma”

2013

This first German evidence-based guideline for cutaneous melanoma was developed under the auspices of the German Dermatological Society (DDG) and the Dermatologic Cooperative Oncology Group (DeCOG) and funded by the German Guideline Program in Oncology. The recommendations are based on a systematic literature search, and on the consensus of 32 medical societies, working groups and patient representatives. This guideline contains recommendations concerning diagnosis, therapy and follow-up of melanoma. The diagnosis of primary melanoma based on clinical features and dermoscopic criteria. It is confirmed by histopathologic examination after complete excision with a small margin. For the stagin…

Management of Pulmonary Embolism

2016

Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a major contributor to global disease burden. Risk-adapted treatment and follow-up contributes to a favorable outcome. Age-adjusted cutoff levels increase D-dimer specificity and may decrease overuse of imaging procedures and overdiagnosis of PE. Primary systemic fibrinolysis has an unfavorable risk-benefit ratio in intermediate-risk PE; catheter-directed techniques are an option for patients with hemodynamic decompensation and high bleeding risk. New oral anticoagulant agents are effective and safe alternatives to standard anticoagulation regimens. Recent trial data do not support insertion of cava filters in patients who can receive anticoagulant treatments…

ESRA19-0275 The efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) in patient undergoing thyroid surgery: a case report

2019

Background and aims The SCPB provides effective anesthesia and analgesia for the head and neck region. CPBs can be performed more safely and accurately under ultrasound guidance, which is used to easily identify various important landmarks. This case report was carried out to assess the efficacy of SCPB in reducing the intra and postoperative use of opioids/analgesics to control pain due to thyroidectomy. Methods Case report: 45-year-old woman, ASA II, underwent left hemithyroidectomy under general anesthesia (sevoflorane 2% and remifentanil TCI 0.7–1 ng/ml). Ultrasound-guided left superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) was performed using levobupivacaine 10 ml 0.25%. Pain score was measu…
