Alzheimer’s disease and infections, where we stand and where we go

2014

Editorial Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder, which represents the most common form of dementia, one of the major causes of disability in later life. Age is the greatest risk factor for AD, which typically affects people aged 65 years and over, with an age-standardised prevalence of 4.4 [1]. However, AD is not a normal part of ageing and advanced age alone does not justify the disease. Several pathways have been implicated in AD pathophysiology, the most described is the neurodegenerative one, which lead to the brain accumulation of beta-amyloid and neurofibrillary tangles, aggregations of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, macroscopically resulting in brain atrop…

Akūtas nieru mazspējas riska faktoru analīze smagas termiskas traumas slimniekiem

2022

Par spīti arvien plašākām diagnostikas, prevencijas un ārstēšanas iespējām, akūts nieru bojājums joprojām ir nozīmīga smagas termiskas traumas komplikācija ar augstu incidenci un mirstību. Darba mērķis: Identificēt riska faktorus, kas izraisa akūtu nieru mazspēju smagas apdeguma traumas pacientiem (TBSA ≥ 20%). Metodes un materiāli: Pētījums veikts RAKUS stacionāra “Biķernieki” Valsts Apdegumu centrā. Dati iegūti retrospektīvi analizējot 1997 pacientu medicīniskās slimības vēstures, laika posmā no 2011. – 2021. gadam, kas atlasītas, izmantojot SSK-10 klasifikāciju pēc koda T29 – vairāku un neprecizētu ķermeņa apvidu termiski un ķīmiski apdegumi, pētījumā iekļaujot 248 pacientus, vecumā no 1…

»…vzpomínám na něho ustavičně a přeji mu, aby se mu tatínek brzo vrátil«. O (terapeutycznej) roli pamięci w korespondencji więziennej Jana Zahradníčka

2020

Przedmiotem analizy są listy czeskiego poety Jana Zahradníčka wysyłane z komunistycznego więzienia do żony Marii w latach 1951–1960. Wybór to zapis zarówno życiowej traumy wynikającej z długo letniej izolacji oraz tragedii rodzinnej (śmierć dwóch córek), a jednocześnie świadectwo tego, że dzięki terapeutycznej roli pamięci autor przetrwał ów trudny czas. Punktem wyjścia są m. in. rozważania Aleidy Assmann, które co prawda prymarnie odnosiły się do pamięci kolektywnej społeczeństw dotkniętych traumatyczną przeszłością, ale mogą być także użyteczne dla rozpatrywanego tutaj studium przypadku jednostki.

The Relationships between Early Trauma, Dissociation, and Alexithymia in Alcohol Addiction

2014

Objective Addiction is often considered a dissociative behavior that is related to alexithymia and developmental trauma. The study aims were to explore the relationships between early trauma, alexithymia, and dissociation. Methods A total of 117 (males=60; females=57) alcohol-addicted individuals and 117 healthy individuals (males=60; females=57) were administered a series of self-report questionnaires that assess traumatic experiences, alexithymia, and pathological dissociation. Results Correlation analyses indicated significant correlations between alexithymia, dissociation, and trauma and a significant difference between the target and control groups, with higher alexithymia and dissocia…

PHARMACOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT OF THE POLYTRAUMA PATIENT. ON ANALGESIC THERAPY GUIDELINES

2022

In consideration of the constant, if not increasing number of polytrauma patients arriving in emergency rooms, the pharmacological treatment of pain is a topic that is always under observation and innovation. Even more important is the global management of pain in the polytrauma patient, i.e. its treatment in the phases even after hospitalisation. The existence of pharmacotherapeutic protocols is today an aid for the physician in order to act in the most appropriate way in the shortest possible time. This brief commentary is intended to be a practical guide to the analgesic treatment of the polytrauma patient, in the light of the most recent scientific evidence.

Sāpju un traumu nozīme un pieredze profesionālu dejotāju karjerā

2015

Bakalaura darbs “Sāpju un traumu nozīme un pieredze profesionālu dejotāju karjerā” ir pētījums par profesionālu baletdejotāju skatījumu un attieksmi pret ķermeni sāpju un traumu aspektā, sasaistē ar profesijas ikdienas apstākļiem atrodoties sociālā grupā – baleta trupā. Izmantojot Marsela Mausa teorētisko perspektīvu ķermenis tiek skatīts kā instruments un tā veidošanas tehnikas baletā, kā arī Pjēra Burdjē kultūras kapitāla un habitus ietvaru izmantoju, lai aplūkotu sāpju nozīmi, iemiesošanos, normalizēšanu un pozīciju baletā.

The relationship between cortisol and cognitive function in healthy older people: The moderating role of Apolipoprotein E polymorphism.

2018

The Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE-epsilon 4) allele has been suggested as the main risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas the ApoE-epsilon 2 allele has been proposed as a protective factor. These proposals have increased the interest in the effect of the ApoE genotype in healthy people. Additionally, high cortisol levels have been related to negative effects on cognition. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between cognitive performance and cortisol, taking into account the different ApoE alleles. For this reason, the aim of this study was to evaluate different cognitive domains (declarative and working memory, attention, and executive function) and their…

Effektivit�t pr�klinischer Notfallversorgung Fiktion oder Fakt?

1996

The current increase in the cost of health care must be considered as a severe threat to the prehospital emergency services system. Two examples have been selected--the patient with polytrauma and the patient in cardiac arrest--to demonstrate the dilemma between a need for objective data and the requirements of emergency patients. Study results obtained in trauma patients indicating that total prehospital time, including scene time, is correlated to patient outcome have led to the conclusion that at the scene treatment by emergency physicians may be dispensable. It has, however also been demonstrated that the time required for medical treatment at the scene is equivalent to 20% of the total…

Palatal atypical histiocytic granuloma

2009

In this report, we examine a clinical entity called atypical histiocytic granuloma (AHG), which is characterized by ulceroproliferative lesions that clinically simulate a squamous cell carcinoma or specific granulomatous lesions. AHG histologically shows a histiocytic proliferation and is characterized by specific mitotic activity, which has the potential to be confused with malignant processes of a lymphoid origin. There are few cases reported in the literature, and an adequateknowledge of the process is required in order to avoid a misdiagnosis, especially as regards malignant processes. To our knowledge, a case of this type of lesion in the palate has not yet been described. We present a…
