Background: Light–dark alternation has always been the strongest external circadian “zeitgeber” for humans. Due to its growing technological preference, our society is quickly transforming toward a progressive “eveningness” (E), with consequences on personal preference (chronotype), depending gender as well. The aim of this study was review available evidence possible relationships between chronotype and gender, relevance disturbances that could negatively impact general health, including...
Exacerbations of COPD (ECOPD) have a major impact on patients and healthcare systems across the world. Precise estimates global burden ECOPD mortality hospital readmission are needed to inform policy makers aid preventive strategies mitigate this burden. The aims present study were explore in-hospital mortality, post-discharge rates after ECOPD-related hospitalisation using an individual patient data meta-analysis (IPDMA) design.
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is both common and an important predictor of risk death in end-stage renal failure (ESRF). In mild to moderate chronic (CRF), the timing onset LVH factors involved its initial development have not been fully elucidated. The present study was undertaken examine prevalence potential determinants echocardiographically determined this connection, compare 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) recordings with BP measured at a previous clinic visit.From cohort 120...
Introduction . Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is an independent predictor of mortality. The aim this study was to relate pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) the cardiovascular status dialysis patients. Methods 27 peritoneal (PD) and 29 haemodialysis (HD) patients ( years, 37 males, vintage months) had PAP measured by echocardiography. Clinical laboratory data were recorded. Results PHT mmHg) detected in 22 (39%; diagnosed 18.5% PD 58.6% HD (). group subjects with PH higher versus months, ),...
Objectives To establish if the presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) influences fractional flow reserve (FFR) value in patients with intermediate coronary stenosis. Background FFR‐guided revascularization reduces cardiac adverse events artery disease. CKD impairs microcirculation and increases cardiovascular risk. Whether may limit FFR accuracy is unknown. Methods We used data from a multicenter prospective registry enrolling 1.004 undergoing evaluation for assessed relationship between...
Abstract Background: Sequential therapy (ST) seems to offer higher success rates than triple (TT) in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori ( H. ) infection. However, from standpoint therapeutic compliance, there is no difference between two treatments. Adjuvant treatment (especially with probiotics (PB) and lactoferrin (LF)) has often improved compliance patients subjected TT, while ST had never been used association adjuvants. Methods: Over a period 2 years, we randomized divided 227...
A potentially important factor yet to receive adequate study is the time when hospital falls occur. prior conducted before system-wide introduction of preventive measures revealed a biphasic 24-hour pattern with major peak in morning.The purpose was identify temporal patterning among elderly patients hospitals comprehensive fall prevention programs place.A 4-year observational by local health authority five nonteaching public located province Ferrara, Italy. Fall records involving ages ≥65...
