Neurological vertigo in the emergency room in pediatric and adult age: systematic literature review and proposal for a diagnostic algorithm.
2022
AbstractNeurological vertigo is a common symptom in children and adults presenting to the emergency department (ED) and its evaluation may be challenging, requiring often the intervention of different medical specialties. When vertigo is associated with other specific symptoms or signs, a differential diagnosis may be easier. Conversely, if the patient exhibits isolated vertigo, the diagnostic approach becomes complex and only through a detailed history, a complete physical examination and specific tests the clinician can reach the correct diagnosis. Approach to vertigo in ED is considerably different in children and adults due to the differences in incidence and prevalence of the various c…
The effect of exposure to radiofrequency fields on cancer risk in the general and working population: A protocol for a systematic review of human obs…
2021
Highlights • RF-EMF was classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (2B) in May 2011 • A systematic review of all subject-relevant epidemiological studies is now needed. • A detailed protocol ensures the review's transparency, utility and credibility. • Original study validity will be evaluated with a customized OHAT risk of bias tool. • Internal coherence and external plausibility will inform conclusions.
Public health nurses' approaches to early childhood physical activity in Finland.
2009
This study was conducted using five focus groups with 24 public health nurses from regional child health clinics in order to explore health professionals' perceptions concerning physical activity. Participants were professionally experienced (mean 13.9 years), female (mean 46.2 years) nurses with some training in health-enhancing physical activity. Frame analysis of verbatim transcripts resulted in four frames: the environmental frame, the family frame, the natural frame and the wellbeing and health frame. The importance of physical and social environment, especially the role of parents, was highlighted as determinants of physical activity. Furthermore, the natural characteristics of physi…
The Cohort of Long-term Survivors at the German Childhood Cancer Registry
2008
Background With the increasing number of long-term survivors among patients diagnosed with cancer during childhood, questions concerning late effects have become a major research topic. To ascertain late effects, it is necessary to contact former patients. An essential requirement for such studies is a long-term surveillance (LTS) of former childhood cancer patients in their adolescence and their adulthood. The paper describes the role of the German Childhood Cancer Registry (GCCR) in LTS. A cohort of long-term survivors has been built up over the years. The characteristics of this LTS cohort and strategies for further improvement of LTS will be presented. Patients and methods Since 1980 th…
Physical inactivity from youth to adulthood and adult cardiometabolic risk profile
2020
Adults with a low physical activity (PA) level are at increased risk for cardiometabolic diseases, but little is known on the association between physical inactivity since youth and cardiometabolic health in adulthood. We investigated the association of persistent physical inactivity from youth to adulthood with adult cardiometabolic risk factors. Data were drawn from the ongoing Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study with seven follow-ups between 1980 and 2011 (baseline age 3–18 years, n = 1961). Physical activity data from a standardized questionnaire was expressed as a PA-index. Using the PA-index, four groups were formed: 1)persistently physically inactive (n = 246), 2)decreasingly ac…
Childhood Maltreatment, Educational Attainment, and IQ: Findings From a Multicentric Case-control Study of First-episode Psychosis (EU-GEI).
2022
[Background and hypothesis] Evidence suggests that childhood maltreatment (ie, childhood abuse and childhood neglect) affects educational attainment and cognition. However, the association between childhood maltreatment and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) seems stronger among controls compared to people with psychosis. We hypothesised that: the association between childhood maltreatment and poor cognition would be stronger among community controls than among people with first-episode of psychosis (FEP); compared to abuse, neglect would show stronger associations with educational attainment and cognition; the association between childhood maltreatment and IQ would be partially accounted for by ot…
Glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (ADH3) and low km mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2). New evidence for differential expres…
2011
Epidemiological and experimental studies support the involvement of lipid peroxidation (LPO) in retinal diseases. In addition to other pathogenic mechanisms not fully understood, the possibility remains that peroxidic aldehydes, acting as cytotoxic chemicals, mediate in the progression of chronic ocular disorders.To test proper mechanisms involved in removing peroxidic aldehydes from the retina, in an attempt to understand long-lasting changes induced by LPO, the oxidative and antioxidant enzymatic activities, as well as the retinal distribution and activity of glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (ADH3) and low km mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2), were studied and c…
Nasal IgE in subjects with allergic and non-allergic rhinitis
2020
Abstract Purpose The prevalence of "ocal allergic rhinitis" within individuals suffering from perennial rhinitis remains uncertain, and patients usually are diagnosed with non-allergic rhinitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of a potential "local allergic rhinitis" in subjects suffering from non-allergic rhinitis in a non-selected group of young students. Methods 131 students (age 25.0 ± 5.1 years) with a possible allergic rhinitis and 25 non-allergic controls without rhinitis symptoms (age 22.0 ± 2.0 years) were recruited by public postings. 97 of 131 students with rhinitis were tested positive (≥3 mm) to prick testing with 17 frequent allergens at visit 1. Twenty-fo…

The referral centers for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in adolescents
2015
Primary hypertension in adolescence was felt to be quite rare. However, the worldwide childhood obesity epidemic has had a profound impact on the frequency of high blood pressure (BP) with the result that primary hypertension should now be viewed as one of the most common health conditions in the young (estimated prevalence 1–5%). Therefore, current guidelines recommend that all children and adolescents seen in a medical setting should have their BP measured. The availability of BP tables with normal BP percentiles for age, sex and height has improved BP values classification. Studies conducted at referral clinics for evaluation of hypertension have indicated that as many as 30 to 40% of ad…
