Ensayo no aleatorizado de un programa de fisioterapia continuo frente a interválico para pacientes con sobrepeso y síndrome coronario agudo
2020
Resumen: Presentamos un ensayo no aleatorizado de un programa de fisioterapia continuo frente a interválico para pacientes con sobrepeso y síndrome coronario agudo. Objetivo: Detectar diferencias entre un programa de fisioterapia (PF) continuo (CONT) y uno interválico (INT) en pacientes con sobrepeso y síndrome coronario agudo, respecto a parámetros antropométricos, analíticos, frecuencia cardiaca de reposo, adherencia a la intervención, desgaste, seguridad y tolerancia. Diseño: Estudio multicéntrico cuasiexperimental con diseño pre-post, no aleatorizado con muestreo por conveniencia con 2 brazos de tratamiento. Emplazamiento: Centros de prevención cardiaca comunitaria (Departamentos de Sal…
Single-Sided Deafness: Impact of Cochlear Implantation on Speech Perception in Complex Noise and on Auditory Localization Accuracy.
2017
Objective To assess auditory localization accuracy and speech reception threshold (SRT) in complex noise conditions in adult patients with acquired single-sided deafness, after intervention with a cochlear implant (CI) in the deaf ear. Study design Nonrandomized, open, prospective patient series. Setting Tertiary referral university hospital. Patients Eleven patients with late-onset single-sided deafness (SSD) and normal hearing in the unaffected ear, who received a CI. All patients were experienced CI users. Intervention Unilateral cochlear implantation. Main outcome measures Speech perception was tested in a complex multitalker equivalent noise field consisting of multiple sound sources. …
Ambulatory blood pressure and arterial stiffness web-based telemonitoring in patients at cardiovascular risk. First results of the VASOTENS (Vascular…
2019
The VASOTENS Registry is an international telehealth-based repository of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitorings (ABPM) obtained through an oscillometric upper-arm BP monitor allowing combined estimation of some vascular biomarkers. The present paper reports the results obtained in 1200 participants according to different categories of CV risk. Individual readings were averaged for each recording and 24-hour mean of brachial and aortic systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and augmentation index (AIx) obtained. Peripheral and central BP, PWV and AIx values were increased in older participants (SBP only) and in case of hypertension (SBP and DBP).…
The effect of high-volume online haemodiafiltration on nutritional status and body composition: the ProtEin Stores prEservaTion (PESET) study
2018
Background Compared with conventional haemodialysis (HD), online haemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) achieves a more efficient removal of uraemic toxins and reduces inflammation, which could favourably affect nutritional status. We evaluate the effect of OL-HDF on body composition and nutritional status in prevalent high-flux HD (HF-HD) patients. Methods In all, 33 adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 5 undergoing maintenance HF-HD were assigned to post-dilution OL-HDF (n = 17) or to remain on HF-HD (n = 16, control group) for 12 months. The primary outcome was the change in lean tissue mass (LTM), intracellular water (ICW) and body cell mass (BCM) assessed by multifrequency bioimpedance …
