Przeszczepy narządowe w okresie epidemii COVID-19
2020
Epidemia COVID-19 zmieniła podejście do kwalifikacji dawców i biorców przeszczepów narządowych. Kwalifikacja następuje po obowiązkowym wykonaniu tomografii komputerowej płuc i testu RT-PCR na obecność wirusa, w wyniku indywidualnej oceny korzyści i ryzyka zakażenia. W bardziej odległym okresie od transplantacji na ciężkość objawów w większym stopniu niż leczenie immunosupresyjne wpływają zaawansowany wiek i współchorobowości. Pierwszym krokiem w redukcji leczenia immunosupresyjnego u biorców przeszczepów narządowych jest odstawienie leku antyproliferacyjnego z pozostawieniem inhibitora kalcyneuryny i steroidów. Terapia immunosupresyjna znamiennie wydłuża czas eliminacji wirusa, ale może ogr…
0326: Prognostic factors and impact of blood pressure level during the first 48 hours after myocardial infarction
2016
Background High blood pressure and low blood pressure are perfectly identified cardio-vascular risk factors, especially in primary prevention. However, their respective role after myocardial infarction is uncertain, with few data available. Objectives To compare cardio-vascular deaths and events after myocardial infarction between the different blood pressure levels observed during the first forty-eight hours. Methods We carried out an observational, prospective, monocentric study, including all consecutive patients admitted in Dijon’s Cardiologic Intensive Care Unit for myocardial infarction, between February 2012 and February 2014. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was defined as the average …
Calculated Whole Blood Viscosity and Albumin/Fibrinogen Ratio in Patients with a New Diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma: Relationships with Some Prognosti…
2023
Background: In this single center study, we retrospectively evaluated the calculated hemorheological profile in patients with a new diagnosis of multiple myeloma, with the aim to evaluate possible relationships with some prognostic predictors, such as ISS, albumin levels, beta2-microglobulin, red cell distribution width, and bone marrow plasma cell infiltration. Methods: In a cohort of 190 patients, we examined the calculated blood viscosity using the de Simone formula, and the albumin/fibrinogen ratio as a surrogate of erythrocyte aggregation, and then we related these parameters to prognostic factors, using the Kruskal–Wallis and the Mann–Whitney tests, respectively. Results: From our ana…

Course and Predictors of Pain and Physical Functioning in Patients with Hip Osteoarthritis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
2016
Objective: To systematically summarize the literature on: (i) the course of pain and physical functioning; and (ii) predictors of deterioration of pain and physical functioning in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip. Methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsychINFO and SPORTDiscus up to July 2015. Meta-analyses and qualitative data syntheses were performed. Results: Eleven of the 15 included studies were of high quality. With regard to the course of pain and physical functioning, high heterogeneity was found across studies (I2 >71%) and within study populations (reflected by large standard deviations of change scores). Therefore, the course of pain and phy…
Prognostic Factors in Staged Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty—A Retrospective Case Series Analysis
2023
Background: Bilateral osteoarthritis of the knee is an indication for a bilateral total knee replacement (TKR) procedure. The goal of our study was to assess the sizes of the implants used during the first and second stages of TKR procedures in order to compare their size and identify the prognostic factors for the second procedure. Methods: We evaluated 44 patients who underwent staged bilateral TKR procedures. We assess the following prognostic factors from the first and second surgery: duration of anesthesia, femoral component size, tibial component size, duration of hospital stay, tibial polyethylene insert size, and the number of complications. Results: All assessed prognostic factors …
