Vascular Health Assessment of The Hypertensive Patients (VASOTENS) Registry: Study Protocol of an International, Web-Based Telemonitoring Registry fo…
2016
Background: Hypertension guidelines recommend ambulatory blood pressure (ABP), central aortic pressure (CAP), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) as parameters for estimating blood pressure (BP) control and vascular impairment. Recent advances in technology have enabled devices to combine non-invasive estimation of these parameters over the 24-hour ABP monitoring. However, currently there is limited evidence on the usefulness of such an approach for routine hypertension management. Objective: We recently launched an investigator-initiated, international, multicenter, observational, prospective study, the Vascular health Assessment Of The Hypertensive patients (VASOTENS) Registry, aimed at (1) eva…
SAT0132 DOES JANUS KINASE INHIBITION INDUCED HYPERLIPIDAEMIA ASSOCIATE WITH AN INCREASE OF AORTIC STIFFNESS IN PATIENTS WITH ARTHRITIS? PRELIMINARY R…
2020
Background:Treatment with Janus Kinase inhibitors (JAK-i) (Tofacitinib, Baricitinib) can cause an increase of serum lipids such as total cholesterol, low- (LDL) and high- (HDL) density lipoproteins in patients with arthritis (1). On the other hand, JAK-i can reduce systemic inflammation and have therefore a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system of treated patients. However, the effects of JAK-i on the CV system have not been adequately examined. In particular, we are not aware of any ’’real world’’ data concerning CV risk of patients receiving JAK-i treatment.Stiffness of the aortic vasculature is a modifiable, valid and independent surrogate predictor of CV risk and can be measure…
Dual channel photoplethysmography studies of cardio-vascular response to the body position changes
2005
The dual-channel photoplethysmography studies of physiological responses during 3-stage orthostatic test were performed. Clear differences in heartbeat rate, pulse wave transit time and blood pressure variations of healthy volunteers and diabetic patients have been observed.
Pulsed radiofrequency energy device (PEAK plasmablade™) and CustomBone® Cranioplasty: an appealing surgical rendez-vous
2019
Background: CustomBone® prosthesis is a widely recognized effective and successful technique for the reconstruction of cranial bone defects. Prior the cranioplasty implant, meticulous dissection wi...
Einfluss von Typ-II-Endoleaks auf die Größenänderung und Hämodynamik experimenteller Aortenaneurysmen nach endovaskulärer Therapie
2003
PURPOSE To evaluate the aneurysm volume and the intra-aneurysmatic pressure and maximal pressure pulse (dp/dtmax) in completely excluded aneurysms and cases with endoleaks. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 36 mongrel dogs, experimental autologous aneurysms were treated with stent-grafts. All aortic side branches were ligated in 18 cases (group I) but were preserved in group II (n = 18). Aneurysm volumes were calculated from CT scans before and after intervention, and from follow-up CT scans at 1 week, 6 weeks and 6 months. Finally, for hemodynamic measurements, manometer-tipped catheters were introduced into the excluded aneurysm sac (group I and II), selectively in endoleaks (group II), and intral…
Interventional treatment for neuropathic pain due to combined cervical radiculopathy and carpal tunnel syndrome: a case report
2017
Key Clinical Message The coexistence of median and cervical nerve root damage might hide a complex pathophysiology. Here, we describe and discuss the case of a patient suffering from numbness and painful tingling of the hand, whose symptoms were effectively treated with pulsed radiofrequency and epidural administration of bupivacaine and morphine.
FRI0662 ACTIVATION AND LEUKOCYTE ADHESION IS ASSOCIATED WITH VASCULAR DAMAGE IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS
2019
Background Patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA), have a higher cardiovascular risk than the general population. There are data in other pathologies about the role of leukocyte adhesion on endothelial damage. Objectives To evaluate the relationship between leukocyte adhesion and subclinical vascular damage in patients with RA and PsA. Methods Observational, cross-sectional exploratory study. Patients with RA and PsA who had at least one previous vascular study were recruited in a tertiary hospital during a period of 3 months. All of them donated a sample of fresh blood. Neutrophils were isolated and perfused on a monola…
The Efficiency of Pulse Therapy with Glucocorticoids in Inflammatory Orbital Disorders: Case Report
2020
Abstract Orbital pseudotumor represents a benign inflammatory disorder of the orbit, with unspecified etiology, whose clinical presentation can mimic the ocular pathology of Basedow disease, namely Graves’ ophthalmopathy, the two of them representing two of the most common orbital conditions. Imagistic methods and laboratory analyses can establish the diagnosis through orbital MRI images specific for the orbital pseudotumor, especially by dosage of the TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb) which will have increased values in Basedow disease with ocular damage. In both situations, the treatment is represented as a first therapeutic line by administration of corticotherapy in high dosage orally or i…
LAight® Therapy Significantly Enhances Treatment Efficacy of 16 Weeks of Topical Clindamycin Solution in Hurley I and II Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Re…
2021
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, burdensome skin disease where medical first-line treatment is still limited to long-term, topical and/or systemic antibiotics. The RELIEVE study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of LAight® therapy – a combination of intense pulsed light and radiofrequency – as an adjunct treatment to first-line therapies in Hurley stage I and II HS. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The RELIEVE study was performed as a two-period multicenter randomized controlled trial with blinded assessment. For period A from week 0 to week 16, the 88 participating subjects were randomized into either a…
Dilation of the ductus venosus by stent implantation increases placental blood perfusion in fetal sheep.
2006
The reduction of resistance to flow in the ductus venous (DV) and a decrease of blood supply to the liver serve for the survival of the fetus during hypoxia. The present study investigated the influence of the increased diameter of the DV on placental blood perfusion.In 15 ewes with twin pregnancies at gestational ages of 117 +/- 4 days, a stent (4 or 5 mm) was placed into the DV of 1 twin (DV(stent) group) under ultrasound guidance. Blood flow rates in the umbilical vein (UV) and DV of both fetuses were measured using Doppler ultrasound. Eight pairs of twin fetuses were included for the final analysis.The dilatation of the DV increased the blood flow volume rate passed through the DV from …
