The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease among primary care patients in Poland: results from the LIPIDOGRAM2015 study

2020

Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is currently one of the leading cause of mortality in the European Union. Well-established, modifiable cardiovascular (CV) risk factors include hypertension (HTN), hypercholesterolaemia, diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, low activity levels, poor diet and smoking. There are no current estimates on the prevalence of CV risk factors among Polish patients solely in the primary care setting. Methods A nationwide cross-sectional study, LIPIDOGRAM2015, was carried out in Poland in the 4th quarter of 2015 and 1st and 2nd quarters of 2016. 438 primary care physicians enrolled 13,724 adult patients that sought medical care for any medical reason in pri…

Lebermetastasen kolorektaler Karzinome - wie oft kann man operieren?

2007

Recurrent liver metastases of colorectal carcinoma are frequent. The repeat hepatectomy is superior to other therapeutic options. In about 20 % of patients with recurrent liver metastases a complete resection (R 0) is possible. The morbidity of repeat hepatectomy is similar to that of first hepatectomy. The 5-year survival rate after repeat hepatectomy ranges between 30 and 40 %. Often in the follow-up additional operations become necessary for extrahepatic recurrencies. For determination of the optimal therapy an interdisciplinary approach must be chosen.

Manejo de la hipertensión arterial en niños y adolescentes: recomendaciones de la Sociedad Europea de Hipertensión

2010

Resumen: La hipertensión en niños y adolescentes ha ido ganando terreno en la medicina cardiovascular, gracias a los avances producidos en distintas áreas de la investigación fisiopatológica y clínica. Estas guías nacen del consenso al que han llegado los especialistas en la detección y control de la hipertensión en niños y adolescentes. Por otra parte, dichas guías son un compendio de los datos científicos y la extensa experiencia clínica con la que se cuenta, y constituyen la información clínica más completa que los médicos, enfermeras y familiares deberían tener en cuenta a la hora de tomar decisiones. Estas guías, que hacen hincapié en la importancia de la hipertensión en niños y adoles…

Épidémiologie du syndrome coronaire aigu en Europe

2007

Epidemiological data concerning acute coronary syndromes in Europe are based on national registries, studies by the European Society of Cardiology within the framework of the EuroHeart Survey and on the study of European population sub-groups in large international cohorts. In this article, recently published studies will be reviewed, and the principal developments in different countries as well as the characteristics and particularities of the most recent epidemiological data will be highlighted. In Europe, the presentation of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) has evolved considerably over the last ten years. This evolution is characterized by a reduction in the proportion of acute coronary s…

Comparison of 2 Doses of Intravenous (IV) Temsirolimus (Temsr) in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)

2016

Abstract Introduction: Temsr (Torisel®) administered at 175 mg IV once weekly for first 3 weeks, followed by 75mg IV once weekly (Temsr 175/75 mg) is approved in the European Union for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and/or refractory MCL based on an overall positive benefit-risk relationship demonstrated for this treatment regimen in the pivotal phase III study (Hess et al. J Clin Oncol. 2009;27:3822-9). This ongoing phase 4, multicenter, randomized, open-label study was conducted to explore whether similar efficacy can be achieved for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory MCL with a Temsr regimen that is expected to yield fewer side effects than the Temsr 175/75…

Editorial, no abstract

2018

Background Global development goals increasingly rely on country-specific estimates for benchmarking a nation's progress. To meet this need, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 estimated global, regional, national, and, for selected locations, subnational cause-specific mortality beginning in the year 1980. Here we report an update to that study, making use of newly available data and improved methods. GBD 2017 provides a comprehensive assessment of cause-specific mortality for 282 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2017. Methods The causes of death database is composed of vital registration (VR), verbal autopsy (VA), registry, survey…

LONGITUDINAL TRACKING OF MUSCULAR POWER CHANGES OF NCAA DIVISION I COLLEGIATE WOMEN GYMNASTS

2004

Gymnastics relies upon power as a critical component of sports-specific fitness. The purpose of this study was to monitor long-term training adaptations in the power of National Collegiate Athletics Association Division I women gymnasts. Twenty members of a women's gymnastic team (aged 18-22) were tracked over 3 years with the first year a baseline year of testing. Whole body power for the counter-movement (CMJ) and squat (SJ) vertical jump was obtained via force plate analyses at 2 assessment time points during each year (February and November). Results showed significant (p < or = 0.05) and continued increases in peak power output in the CMJ and SJ at each biannual assessment. Improvement…

Stressing the Importance of Adult Immunization: Suggestions for How to Change the Paradigm

2019

From 24 to 26 May 2017, the European Interdisciplinary Council on Ageing (EICA) and the European Union Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS) brought together a group of key opinion leaders and stakeholders from the healthcare field, for a conference entitled “Changing the Paradigm: Stressing the Importance of Adult Immunization”. The specific objectives of this meeting were to review vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) and vaccine performance in older adults and analyse the impact of the adult vaccination campaigns currently being implemented in Europe. The meeting aimed to improve our understanding of the challenge that vaccine hesitancy or scepticism represents, and how existing barriers to …
