Wpływ stanu napięcia mięśni dna miednicy na ocenę poziomu zaburzeń erekcji i nietrzymania moczu u osób po prostatektomii radykalnej. Doniesienie wstę…
2017
Celem pracy była ocena, jak napięcie mięśni dna miednicy (MDM) mierzonego za pomocą sEMG wpływa na ocenę obiektywną i subiektywną trzymania moczu oraz zaburzeń erekcji. W badaniach uczestniczyło 10 mężczyzn, będących po zabiegu prostatektomii. Nasilenie objawów nietrzymania moczu oceniano na podstawie kwestionariusza ICIQ-SF, aktywność seksualną kwestionariuszem IIEF-5. Nie wykazano istotnego statystycznie związku między napięciem MDM, ocenianego za pomocą sEMG, a obiektywnymi wyznacznikami nietrzymania moczu, jednakże zaobserwowano tendencję, że niższe napięcie MDM występuje częściej u chorych ze wszystkimi dolegliwościami w ocenie subiektywnej.

Treatment adherence and QoL with intermittent PTH therapy: Results from a multicentre Italian study after 6 months
2011
This ongoing multicentre study was carried out to investigate the adherence to intermittent parathyroid hormone treatment and the effect on QoL in a typical Italian population eligible for drug reimbursement (i.e. a new vertebral or hip fracture following at least one year of anti-resorptive therapy or three severe vertebral fractures or two severe and one femur fracture). 204 female patients (mean age: 72.6±8.3) were enrolled between March 2008 and April 2009. These patients were treated with PTH (PTH 1–34 or PTH 1–84) according to Italian legislation. Here, we report the results obtained at month 6.

Virsrakst: Onkoloģiskās ķīmijterapijas izraisītas neiroloģiskās blakusparādības, to atkarība no pacienta dzīvildzes prognostiskajiem rādītājiem, ĶMI, dzimuma un ķīmijterapijas veida, iespēja blaknes mazināt. Priekšvēsture: Neiroloģiskās blakusparādības ir samērā biežas un nopietnas ķīmijterapijas blaknes. Ķīmijterapija var izraisīt pastāvīgus nopietnus bojājumus nervu sistēmā, ko reizumis nākas novērst, pārtraucot ķīmijterapiju. Neiroloģiskās blaknes bieži paliek neievērotas, atšķirībā no citām vieglāk pamanāmām. Agrīna iejaukšanās varētu mazināt neiroloģiskās blaknes, tas palīdzētu veikt pilnvērtīgu ķīmijterapijas kursu un labāk ārstēt vēzi. Mērķis: Mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai vēža pacienta …
The Fertility Quality of Life Questionnaire (FertiQoL) Relational subscale: psychometric properties and discriminant validity across gender.
2016
Study question Is the Fertility Quality of Life Questionnaire (FertiQoL)-Relational Scale a valid measure to assess the relational domain regarding quality of life in women and men undergoing infertility treatment? Summary answer The FertiQoL-Relational scale (FertiQoL-REL) showed good psychometric properties and captured core aspects of couple relationships. What is known already FertiQoL has become a gold standard for the assessment of infertility-related quality of life in patients undergoing assisted reproduction treatment (ART). Despite its growing importance, no previous studies have examined the convergent validity of the FertiQoL-REL and its discriminant validity across gender. Stud…
Elämänlaatu päihdeongelmaisen läheisellä
2010
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää päihdeongelmaisten henkilöiden läheisten elämänlaatua. Tutkittavat olivat Minnesota-hoidon perushoidossa olevien päihdeongelmaisten täysi-ikäisiä läheisiä (n = 41), joiden elämänlaatua tutkittiin Maailman terveysjärjestön (WHO) WHOQOL-BREF-kyselyllä ja läheissuhteen etäisyyden kyselyllä. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia läheisten yleistä elämänlaatua ja terveystyytyväisyyttä sekä fyysistä, henkistä ja sosiaalista elämänlaatua ja elämänlaadun ympäristöulottuvuutta. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin yleisen elämänlaadun ja terveystyytyväisyyden yhteyttä elämänlaadun ulottuvuuksiin sekä läheisen taustatietojen ja läheissuhteen etäisyyden yhteyttä koettuun elämänla…
Health-related quality of life in epilepsy: findings obtained with a new Italian instrument
2008
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the Epi-QoL, a new Italian-specific measure of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for adults with epilepsy; the clinical variables that affected the HRQOL score were also assessed. The Epi-QoL is a 46-item self-administered questionnaire focusing on six domains: Physical Functioning, Cognitive Functioning, Emotional Well-Being, Social Functioning, Seizure Worry, and Medication Effects. Eight hundred fifteen patients recruited from 24 secondary and tertiary Italian centers for the care of epilepsy were assessed. The results supported the reliability and validity of the Epi-QoL as a measure of HRQOL. The variables that significantly affected HR…
Assessment of the quality of life in patients with varying degrees of equalization of lower limb length discrepancy treated with Ilizarov method
2021
Abstract Background Inequalities in leg length result in functional disorders, as they impair the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system, significantly reducing the quality of life (QoL). This study used the WHOQoL-BREF questionnaire in patients with varying degrees of lower leg shortness who had undergone treatment by the Ilizarov method, compared to a healthy control group. Methods Fifty-eight patients treated with the Ilizarov method for discrepancies in lower limb length were grouped by degree of limb equalization (group 1, 37 treated individuals with limb length discrepancy < 1 cm; group 2, 21 individuals with discrepancy ≥ 1 cm but not more than 4 cm). The control group 3 conta…
