European ADPKD Forum multidisciplinary position statement on autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease care

2018

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a chronic, progressive condition characterized by the development and growth of cysts in the kidneys and other organs and by additional systemic manifestations. Individuals with ADPKD should have access to lifelong, multidisciplinary, specialist and patient-centred care involving: (i) a holistic and comprehensive assessment of the manifestations, complications, prognosis and impact of the disease (in physical, psychological and social terms) on the patient and their family; (ii) access to treatment to relieve symptoms, manage complications, preserve kidney function, lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and maintain quality of life;…

Aktuelle Entwicklungen und Perspektiven in der Diagnostik und Therapie von Harninkontinenz und Genitalsenkung der Frau

2013

As a key area of gynaecology, urogynaecology has undergone impressive changes in the past few years. Together with the high prevalence of functional pelvic floor disorders, modern anaesthesia procedures and the introduction of new, innovative minimally invasive operation techniques have led to a dramatic increase in the number of operations for incontinence and prolapses. The increasingly subtle diagnostic options, such as, e. g., 2D and 3D sonography of the pelvic floor provide unambiguous findings and facilitate decision making. Tension-free vaginal slings in retro-pubic, trans-obturator or single-incision techniques show a high success rate with few complications and have almost complete…

Ecologia d'ostracodes simbionts (Entocytheridae) de carrancs invasors a Europa

2014

Els entocitèrids són una família d'ostracodes (Crustacea) ectosimbionts (bàsicament comensals) d'altres crustacis, majoritàriament decàpodes d'aigua dolça. Gran part de les espècies d'entocitèrids són originàries d'Amèrica del Nord i Central, i d'Oceania, associades a carrancs de riu americans i australians. No s'han descobert espècies d'entocitèrids en els carrancs de riu natius d'Europa. Les darreres dècades, els carrancs natius europeus s'han vist greument perjudicats per la invasió de carrancs exòtics, degut a fenòmens d'exclusió competitiva i transmissió de simbionts parasitaris. En la present tesi, hem avaluat la presència d'entocitèrids associats a carrancs de riu (natius i exòtics) …

Violence against parents: key factors analysis

2014

La Fiscalía General del Estado español, en su memoria de octubre de 2009, destacó que la violencia filio-parental era el tipo penal más preocupante en adolescentes menores de edad por su incremento en prevalencia e incidencia. Por ello, es importante conocer algunas características de las familias que la sufren y de las hijas e hijos maltratadores. Para lograr dichos objetivos hemos realizado una revisión bibliométrica de análisis cualitativo en base a documentos y libros desde 1957 hasta 2011, de países como Australia, Japón, Canadá, Nueva Zelanda, Francia, E.E.U.U. o España principalmente, desde la cual se pretende conocer (a) qué es la violencia filio-parental, (b) el ciclo de este tipo …

Les drogodependències, una visió actualitzada

2013

Public opinion is not worried about drug dependence and other addictive disorders anymore. The changes in consumption patterns and the lack of visible situations related to drugs consumption have removed this problem from the top of the media’s agenda; however, we are able to establish that this is not a settled problem from the past, but quite the opposite. Despite all the prevention campaigns launched so far, the drugs consumption phenomenon prevails as well as the increase of the number of admissions in detoxification clinics for drug addicts. Therefore, it would be necessary to make a review of the history of drug dependence in order to find the key of the causes thereof nowadays, putti…

Epidemiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in Europe: a register-based study.

2015

INTRODUCTION: Published prevalence rates of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) vary. This study aims to describe the epidemiology of CDH using data from high-quality, population-based registers belonging to the European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies (EUROCAT).METHODS: Cases of CDH delivered between 1980 and 2009 notified to 31 EUROCAT registers formed the population-based case series. Prevalence over time was estimated using multilevel Poisson regression, and heterogeneity between registers was evaluated from the random component of the intercept.RESULTS: There were 3373 CDH cases reported among 12 155 491 registered births. Of 3131 singleton cases, 353 (10.4%) were associated wit…

Epidemiology of eating disorders in Latin America: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

2016

Purpose of reviewEating disorders are currently not considered to be limited to Western culture. We systematically reviewed the existing literature on the prevalence of eating disorders in Latin America.Recent findingsOf 1583 records screened, 17 studies from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela were included in the analysis. Most studies reported point-prevalence rates and only three studies provided lifetime and 12-month prevalence rates. We found a mean point-prevalence rate of 0.1% for anorexia nervosa, 1.16% for bulimia nervosa, and 3.53% for binge-eating disorder (BED) in the general population. Heterogeneity for bulimia nervosa and BED was large. This meta-analys…

Hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use in early acute respiratory distress syndrome: Insights from the LUNG SAFE study

2020

Abstract Background Concerns exist regarding the prevalence and impact of unnecessary oxygen use in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We examined this issue in patients with ARDS enrolled in the Large observational study to UNderstand the Global impact of Severe Acute respiratory FailurE (LUNG SAFE) study. Methods In this secondary analysis of the LUNG SAFE study, we wished to determine the prevalence and the outcomes associated with hyperoxemia on day 1, sustained hyperoxemia, and excessive oxygen use in patients with early ARDS. Patients who fulfilled criteria of ARDS on day 1 and day 2 of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure were categorized based on the presence o…
