Thrombolyse bei akuter Lungenembolie – Risikostratifizierung, risikoadaptierte Diagnostik und Therapie

2014

Die Strategien zur Risikostratifizierung und risikoadaptierten Diagnostik und Therapie von Patienten mit akuter Lungenembolie befinden sich derzeit in einer Phase des Umbruchs. Fur die neuen europaischen Leitlinien, die Mitte des Jahres 2014 erscheinen sollen, werden umfangreiche Uberarbeitungen unter anderem auch hinsichtlich der Indikation zur Thrombolyse bei normotensiven Patienten mit „intermediarem“ Risiko erwartet. In diesem Artikel werden die Empfehlungen zur Thrombolyse bei Patienten mit akuter Lungenembolie zusammengefasst unter besonderer Berucksichtigung aktueller Studiendaten zur thrombolytischen Therapie bei Patienten mit „intermediarem“ Risiko.

Planning integrated care at primary care centres: lessons learnt through research in stratification tools in the Valencian Healthcare System

2018

Introduction and policy context: In the Valencian Region social services and the healthcare system are not connected. Also there is not any normative jointly regulating resources, services or aid benefits that would mean an integrated care IC portfolio.  Primary care PC centres are the closest and most trustworthy care facility for patients in the Spanish context. Also, PC is one of the most suitable resources to address needs of complex patients, as elderly and/or those with chronic conditions, through an IC approach, but there are some barriers that block its real and effective deployment. Objective and target population: Authors have studied the viability, implementation and development …

Coronary artery calcium score on low-dose computed tomography for lung cancer screening

2013

Aim: To evaluate the feasibility of coronary artery calcium score (CACS) on low-dose non-gated chest CT (ngCCT). Methods: Sixty consecutive individuals (30 males; 73 ± 7 years) scheduled for risk stratification by means of unenhanced ECG-triggered cardiac computed tomography (gCCT) underwent additional unenhanced ngCCT. All CT scans were performed on a 64-slice CT scanner (Somatom Sensation 64 Cardiac, Siemens, Germany). CACS was calculated using conventional methods/scores (Volume, Mass, Agatston) as previously described in literature. The CACS value obtained were compared. The Mayo Clinic classification was used to stratify cardiovascular risk based on Agatston CACS. Differences and corre…

Influence du vieillissement hygrothermique sur la tenue à l'impact de stratifiés quasi-isotropes/quasi homogènes

2011

International audience; La présente étude a pour objectif de déterminer l'influence du vieillissement hygrothermique sur la tolérance à l'impact de stratifiés possédant des propriétés particulières d'isotropie. Trois stratifications de 24 plis carbone/époxy ont été étudiées. Deux d'entre elles conduisent à des propriétés d'isotropie en membrane et en flexion, la troisième est isotrope en membrane et anisotrope en flexion. Les stratifiés obtenus après cuisson suivant le cycle préconisé par le fabricant ont été découpés pour obtenir des éprouvettes carrées destinées au vieillissement et à l'impact. Le vieillissement a été réalisé grâce à une enceinte climatique à une température de 70 °C sous…

Israeli Crowdfunding: A Reflection of Its Entrepreneurial Culture

2020

AbstractCrowdfunding has its roots deep in the Israeli entrepreneurship ecosystem. Its characterizing elements of—collective individualism combined with flat social hierarchies, low degree of separation, mandatory army service that enforces innovative thinking and improvisation, Chutzpah, and finally high tolerance for failure, all provide fertile ground for entrepreneurship and facilitate innovative approaches to entrepreneurship funding such as crowdfunding. In light of this, the growth of crowdfunding in Israel is not surprising. While the equity crowdfunding leads the field, rewards and donations platforms are more known and popular, indeed the brand name of the senior rewards and donat…

Chirurgie cardiaque sous circulation extra-corporelle et ses biomarqueurs : rôle du Growth / Différentiation Factor 15 (GDF 15) : études cliniques

2016

Ischemic cardiac diseases are the most frequent and deleterious pathologies leading to important cardiovascular-related mortality worldwide. One of the alternative therapies consists to treat these patients using cardiac surgery. Cardiopulmonary bypass was developed to greatly improve this surgical procedure. However, some adverse effects can occur during cardiac surgery associated with cardiopulmonary bypass due to the inflammatory response. This phenomenon is the result of various mechanisms including oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines which lead to multi-organ failure and then to myocardial and renal injuries occurring during the peri- and post-operative periods.The first part o…

B-type natriuretic peptide trend predicts clinical significance of worsening renal function in acute heart failure

2019

Aims In acute heart failure (AHF), relationships between changes in B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and worsening renal function (WRF) and its prognostic implications have not been fully determined. We investigated the relationship between WRF and a decrease in BNP with in-hospital and 1-year mortality in AHF. Methods and results The Acute Kidney Injury NGAL Evaluation of Symptomatic heart faIlure Study (AKINESIS) was a prospective, international, multicentre study of AHF patients. Severe WRF (sWRF) was a sustained increase of >= 44.2 mu mol/L (0.5 mg/dL) or >= 50% in creatinine, non-severe WRF (nsWRF) was a non-sustained increase of >= 26.5 mu mol/L (0.3 mg/dL) or >= 50% in cr…
