Chapter 35 Complex regional pain syndrome
2006
Publisher Summary This chapter describes complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) as changes of muscles and bones distant from the primary tissue damage. It causes both acute pain and excitation of the sympathetic nervous system. The chapter classifies CRPS into two clinical types: the “primarily warm” type, which usually develops post-traumatically and in which skin temperature is increased on the affected side; and CRPS cases, which manifest with a cold skin from the beginning. This “primarily cold” type more often develops after minor trauma or even spontaneously. The chapter reviews that “primary cold” CRPS is harder to treat and tends to become chronic. Symptoms of CRPS are not stable; th…
Depresijas simptomu izplatība universitātes studentiem, kuri piedalās ikdienas fiziskajās aktivitātēs
2022
Nosaukums: Depresijas simptomu izplatība universitātes studentiem, kuri piedalās ikdienas fiziskajās aktivitātēs Autors: Leo El-Achkar Darba vadītājs: Andis Užāns, MD Darba aktualitāte: Depresīvi simptomi negatīvi ietekmē cilvēka garīgo stāvokli un labizjūtu. Ilgstoši šie simptomi var izraisīt klīnisku depresiju. Depresijas simptomi var būt plašā spektrā no viegliem līdz tādiem, kur dominē domas par pašnāvību. Fiziskā aktivitāte var dažādi ietekmēt depresīvu simptomu izpausmi atkarībā no pacienta vecuma, mobilitātes, fiziskās slodzes vai citiem stresa faktoriem. Mērķis: tika veikta tiešsaistes aptauja, lai izpētītu depresijas simptomu izplatību galvenokārt studentiem, kuri piedalās ikdienas…

The PREDIMED-Plus trial was supported by the European Research Council (Advanced Research grant 2014–2019; agreement #340918; granted to M.Á.M.-G.); the official Spanish institutions for funding scientific biomedical research, CIBER Fisiopatología de la Obesidad y Nutrición (CIBEROBN) and Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) through the Fondo de Investigación para la Salud (FIS) which is co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (coordinated FIS projects led by J.S-S. and J.V., including the following projects: PI13/00673, PI13/00492, PI13/00272, PI13/01123, PI13/00462, PI13/00233, PI13/02184, PI13/00728, PI13/01090, PI13/01056, PI14/01722, PI14/00636, PI14/00618, PI14/00696, PI…
Programa de revisión de vida apoyado en las nuevas tecnologías para las personas mayores: Una aplicación de tecnologías positivas
2010
Existe una importante prevalencia de sintomatología depresiva en la población de la tercera edad. Sin embargo, pocas personas mayores reciben tratamiento adecuados para este tipo de dolencias. Entre las opciones terapéuticas disponibles figura la técnica de Revisión de Vida (RV). El objetivo de este artículo es presentar un programa de terapia para personas mayores basado en la técnica de Revisión de Vida a través de las nuevas tecnologías. El programa terapéutico se encuentra implantado en una plataforma tecnológica de e-salud (Sistema Mayordomo) y se enfoca en el entrenamiento de la recuperación de recuerdos autobiográficos específicos positivos. La herramienta tecnológica se dirige a enr…
Oxygen uptake kinetics and energy system's contribution around maximal lactate steady state swimming intensity
2017
Made available in DSpace on 2018-11-26T17:20:55Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-02-28 Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) Ministry of Education of Brazil The purpose of this study was to examine the oxygen uptake ((V) over dotO(2)) kinetics and the energy systems' contribution at 97.5, 100 and 102.5% of the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) swimming intensity. Ten elite female swimmers performed three-to-five 30 min submaximal constant swimming bouts at imposed paces for the determination of the swimming velocity (v) at 100% MLSS based on a 7 x 200 m intermittent incremental protocol until voluntary exhaustion to find the v associated…
Mapping child growth failure across low- and middle-income countries
2020
Childhood malnutrition is associated with high morbidity and mortality globally1. Undernourished children are more likely to experience cognitive, physical, and metabolic developmental impairments that can lead to later cardiovascular disease, reduced intellectual ability and school attainment, and reduced economic productivity in adulthood2. Child growth failure (CGF), expressed as stunting, wasting, and underweight in children under five years of age (0–59 months), is a specific subset of undernutrition characterized by insufficient height or weight against age-specific growth reference standards3–5. The prevalence of stunting, wasting, or underweight in children under five is the proport…

Blood Component Therapy and Coagulopathy in Trauma: A Systematic Review of the Literature from the Trauma Update Group
2016
Background Traumatic coagulopathy is thought to increase mortality and its treatment to reduce preventable deaths. However, there is still uncertainty in this field, and available literature results may have been overestimated. Methods We searched the MEDLINE database using the PubMed platform. We formulated four queries investigating the prognostic weight of traumatic coagulopathy defined according to conventional laboratory testing, and the effectiveness in reducing mortality of three different treatments aimed at contrasting coagulopathy (high fresh frozen plasma/packed red blood cells ratios, fibrinogen, and tranexamic acid administration). Randomized controlled trials were selected alo…
Clinical symptomatic de novo systemic transthyretin amyloidosis 9 years after domino liver transplantation
2009
Four years ago, Stangou et al. reported a patient who developed clinical symptoms of amyloidosis 8 years after domino liver transplantation (DLT). In order to alleviate the graft shortage, livers from patients with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) are used as domino grafts for other patients under the assumption that several decades will pass before clinical symptoms due to amyloid accumulation emerge. We now report on another case, the third reported case in the literature, of de novo systemic amyloidosis in a 75-year-old woman 9 years after DLT. The patient underwent DLT at 65 years of age for hepatocellular carcinoma exceeding the Milan criteria in hepatitis C cirrhosis. Transar…
