Nutritional status is a critical factor throughout COVID-19 disease course. Malnutrition associated with poor outcomes in hospitalized patients.
Introduction. In the last decades, life expectancy of persons with Down syndrome (DS) has dramatically increased and it is estimated that they will be living as long general population within a generation. Despite being included among progeroid syndromes, because presence features typically observed in older adults, DS still regarded disease pediatric interest. Because limited knowledge available on clinical characteristics adults DS, this study aimed to assess non-clinical describe...
IntroductionAs an emerging infectious disease, the clinical and virologic course of COVID-19 requires better investigation. The aim this study is to identify potential risk factors associated with persistent positive nasopharyngeal swab real-time reverse transcription‒polymerase chain reaction tests in a large sample patients who recovered from COVID-19.MethodsAfter acute phase SARS-CoV-2 epidemic infection, Fondazione Policlinico A. Gemelli IRCSS Rome established post-acute care service for...
A patient with COVID-19-related severe respiratory failure, insufficient response to an antiretroviral therapy, hydroxychloroquine and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) antagonist presented a prompt resolution of the function improvement in radiological picture after baricitinib at oral dose 4 mg per day for 2 weeks.
Increased life expectancy in persons with Down syndrome (DS) is associated premature age-related changes. The aim of this study was to assess auditory function adults DS and evaluate the prevalence hearing loss population. Audiometric tests were performed 72 (mean age 37.3±10.1 years, 51.4% females). Air conduction pure tone average (PTA) thresholds at frequencies 0.5-1-2-4 kHz calculated function. Hearing present if PTA threshold > 20 dB level. Higher 4 8 also assessed. shown 47 (65.3%)...
Background and aims The COVID-19 pandemic represents a source of stress potential burnout for many physicians. This single-site survey aimed at assessing perceived risk to develop syndrome among physicians operating in COVID wards. Methods longitudinal evaluated 51 the team Gemelli Hospital, Italy. Participants were asked complete Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) Perceived Stress Questionnaire on short run (PSQs) (referring past 7 days) baseline (T0) then four weeks (T1-T4). long (PSQl) 2...
Impulse-control disorders (ICDs) are frequently described in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly among those treated dopaminergic medications, but data on the prevalence of ICDs elderly populations lacking.The aim this study was to estimate by using an Italian validation Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders Disease (QUIP) and identify associated sociodemographic clinical factors a sample PD control group similarly aged healthy volunteers.Using United Kingdom...
Abstract Background Down syndrome (DS) is characterised by premature ageing that affects selected organ systems, and persons with this condition can present patterns of co‐morbidities deficits often observed in the older population without DS. However, information on characteristics adult DS limited. The objective study to describe adults collected a standardised, comprehensive assessment instrument. Methods Cross‐sectional study. Four hundred thirty (age range 18/75 years) from three...
The authors evaluated the association of Parkinson's disease (PD) duration with hypertension, assessed by office measurements and 24-hour (ambulatory) monitoring, in 167 patients. Hypertension was through both ambulatory blood pressure (BP) measurements. Among participants (mean age 73.4±7.6 years; 35% women), prevalence hypertension 60% 69% according to BP measurements, respectively (Cohen's k=0.61; P<.001). PD inversely associated as diagnosed (odds ratio [OR], 0.92; 95% confidence...
