Frequency and Correlates of Mild Cognitive Impairment in Myasthenia Gravis

2023

Background: Antibodies against acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) can also target nicotinic AChRs that are present throughout the central nervous system, thus leading to cognitive dysfunctions in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). However, the presence of cognitive impairment in MG is controversial, and the factors that may influence this risk are almost completely unknown. In this study, the frequency of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in MG, as well as the clinical, immunological, and behavioral correlates of MCI in MG were evaluated. Methods: A total of 52 patients with MG underwent a comprehensive assessment including motor and functional scales, serological testing, and neuropsychologi…

Etiological factors of chronic hepatitis in Italy: a 2014 national survey.

2017

Background The last Italian prevalence survey on chronic hepatitis (CH) conducted in 2001 showed that the hepatitis C virus (HCV) was the main agent associated with CH. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate epidemiological changes in CH occurring after 13 years. Patients and methods Enrollment of 1392 CH consecutive patients referred to 16 Italian liver units in 2014 scattered all over the country (four in the North, four in the Center, four in the South, and four in the Islands) was performed. Results The mean age of the patients was 58.3 years, with a sex ratio (male/female) of 1.5. HCV infection (also with other etiologies) continues to be the most prevalent etiology (58.1%). However…

Akomodācijas un verģences sistēmas darbības traucējumu izplatība Azerbaidžānā

2020

Maģistra darb ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 35 lpp. Tas satur 19 tabulas, 2 pielikumus un 16 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Maģistra darba mērķis ir izvērtēt akomodācijas un verģences traucējumu izplatību un veidus Azerbaidžānas galvaspilsētas baku studentu vidū. Pētījumā piedalījās 192 dalībnieki (15-36 g.v.). Visiem tika veikta bezmaksas redzes pārbaude, kur detalizēti tika izvērtēta refrakcija, akomodācija un verģence. Rezultāti parāda, ka 51 ± 4 % dalībniekiem novēro dažāda veida akomodācijas un verģences darbības traucējumus vai to kombinācijas. Visbiežāk novērotās problēmas ir akomodācijas ekscess un konverģences nepietiekamība. Netiek novērota dzimuma un vecuma ietekme uz akomodāci…

Energy Drink Consumption Among Finnish Adolescents: Prevalence, Associated Background Factors, Individual Resources, and Family Factors.

2020

Objectives: Energy drink consumption among adolescents has become a notable global phenomenon, and has been associated with numerous negative health outcomes. In order to understand the popularity of energy drinks among adolescents, and to target interventions, it is important to identify the determinants underpinning consumption. Methods: The nationally representative data (cross-sectional) were drawn from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) surveys, conducted in 2014 and 2018, each comprising 13- and 15-year-old Finnish adolescents (n = 7405). Results: Weekly energy drink consumption increased among Finnish adolescents between 2014 (18.2%) and 2018 (24.4%), especially amon…

Antibiotiku punkta prevalences pētījums bērnu slimnīcā

2020

Antibiotikas ir bieži izrakstītas recepšu zāles gan pieaugušo, gan bērnu populācijā. Nereti antibiotikas nozīmē nepamatoti, tāpēc rodas bažas par pārmērīgu antibiotiku lietošanu un rezistences attīstību. Antibiotikas bērniem tiek izrakstītas gan bakteriālo infekciju ārstēšanai, gan arī ķirurģiskās profilakses nolūkos. Bakalaura darba ietvaros VSIA “Bērnu Klīniskā Universitātes slimnīca” tika veikts punkta prevalences pētījums pēc antibiotiku rezistences un zāļu izrakstīšanas Eiropas bērniem (ARPEC) modeļa. Darba mērķis: Noskaidrot bērnu un jaundzimušo antibakteriālo zāļu izrakstīšanas tendences VSIA “Bērnu Klīniskā Universitātes slimnīca”, lai rastu ieteikumus antibiotiku lietošanas un kval…

Ontological diversity in gaming disorder measurement: a nationally representative registered report

2022

Gaming-related health problems have been researched since the 1980s with numerous different ontologies as reference systems, from self-assessed ‘game addiction’ to ‘pathological gambling’ (in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [DSM]-IV), ‘internet gaming disorder’ (in the third section of the DSM-5) and most recently ‘gaming disorder’ (in the International Classification of Diseases [ICD]-11). Our goal was to investigate how screening instruments that derive from different ontologies differ in identifying associated problem groups. By using four central screening instruments, each representing a different ontological basis, we hypothesized differences and similarities…

Apikālā periodontīta sastopamības biežums un endodontikās ārstēšanas kvalitāte pieaugušo izvēlētā populācijā Latvijā

2022

Apikālais periodontīts (AP) ir izplatīta hroniska iekaisuma slimība, kas izpaužas kā dinamiska organisma aizsargreakcija pret mikrobu infekciju zobu sakņu kanālu sistēmā. Pētījumi liecina, ka AP ir plaši izplatīts pieaugušajiem - vismaz viens zobs ar AP ir 27 - 80% pieaugušo (Kirkevang & Vaeth, 2019). AP ir tieša saistība ar sakņu kanālu ārstēšanas kvalitāti – nekvalitatīva ārstēšana tiek saistīta ar palielinātu AP izplatību (Chala et al., 2011; Meirinhos et al., 2020). Darba mērķis bija izpētīt apikālā periodontīta izplatību un endodontiskās ārstēšanas biežumu un kvalitāti izvēlētā Latvijas pieaugušo populācijā.

Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19.1 million participants

2017

Background Raised blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. We estimated worldwide trends in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of, and number of people with, raised blood pressure, defined as systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher. Methods For this analysis, we pooled national, subnational, or community population-based studies that had measured blood pressure in adults aged 18 years and older. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1975 to 2015 in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of rai…

Vienšūnas parazīta Toxoplasma gondii sastopamība meža cūkās (Sus scrofa)

2021

Termiski nepietiekoši apstrādātas meža cūkas gaļas lietošana uzturā ir potenciāls Toxoplasma gondii invāzijas avots cilvēkiem. Zināšanas par T. gondii izplatību un sastopamību meža cūkās, dod iespēju apzināt riskus cilvēku veselībai un izstrādāt profilakses pasākumus stratēģijas. Pētījuma mērķis bija noteikt T. gondii sastopamību meža cūkās Latvijā un sakarības ciešumu starp T. gondii DNS un specifisko pret-T. gondii IgG antivielu klātbūtni meža cūkās. Pētījuma ietvaros tika izmantota seroloģiskā metode (ELISA) un divas T. gondii DNS izdalīšanas metodes – no hidrolīzes koncentrāta kopējā DNS izdalīšana un ar magnētiskām lodītēm specifiskā T. gondii DNS izdalīšana. Pēc sistemātiskās literatū…

Psychopathology and female detention at the “Pagliarelli” jail of Palermo: preliminary results

2018

Most of the studies carried out on prisoners have considered male samples or they investigated specific psychiatric disorders. The present study aims to estimate the presence of current and lifetime psychiatric disorders among female inmates. Secondary aims are to evaluate the correlation between a current psychiatric disorder and other variables, and the association with a psycho-pharmacotherapy and a request for a clinical psychological interview. The study included 25 women with a final sentence at the “Casa Circondariale Pagliarelli” from October 2016 to July 2017. The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) was used to assess the presence of any current or lifetime psychia…
