Regardless of the recent advances in Chronic Kidney Disease stage 5 (CKD-5) management people on dialysis face significant changes their quality life. The present study aimed to examine relationship between psychological resilience and life patients undergoing in-center hemodialysis. An initial sample 150 adult hemodialysis for more than 6 months was selected from hospitals a Southern European country. used Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ),...
Aim: The study aimed to assess the connection of psychological resilience, pain self-efficacy and quality life in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis. Design: A cross-sectional design was chosen. Methods: Data were collected from 361 adults receiving hemodialysis hospital private settings a Southern European country over six months. This done semi-structured interview using Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), Kidney...
Objective. To investigate whether the use of epidural analgesia during induced labour was a risk factor for instrumental vaginal delivery and caesarean section (CS) delivery. Study Design. This retrospective case series primigravidae women being at term all indications with normal body mass index (BMI) booking under age 40 years. Results. We identified 1,046 who fulfilled inclusion criteria which 31.2% had an analgesia. Those significantly greater maternal age, higher BMI, percentage...
To determine appropriate cone dimensions for predicting margin status after large loop excision of transformation zone (LLETZ) treatment.An observational study performed at the Colposcopy Unit a university hospital setting involving patients who underwent LLETZ conisation within 1-year period. Data concerning characteristics, dimensions, lesion grade and margins were recorded.The median age women (n = 61) was 38 years (18-53). specimens had 36.1% cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)2/3...
To evaluate the blood flow characteristics of cervix in normal women and with cervical precancerous lesions or cancer.We studied 165 three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound (3D-PDU), whom 71 had cancer, 61 33 were healthy controls. The was manually traced stored volumes using 15° rotation steps following 3D-PDU indices calculated: vascularization index (VI), (FI) (VFI). These compared among study groups also correlated features group cancer group.The three all statistically significantly...

BACKGROUND: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients with post–coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) has a high diagnostic accuracy for visualization of grafts. Invasive coronary (ICA) CABG is associated increased procedural time, contrast agent administration, radiation exposure, and complications, compared non-CABG patients. The aim this multicenter, randomized controlled trial was to compare the strategy CCTA-guided ICA versus classic prior CABG. METHODS: Patients were...

Objectives To identify whether mast cell densities in vulvar biopsies from the vestibule are associated with vulvodynia. Methods We enrolled 100 women aged 19 to 59 years confirmed vulvodynia cases, racially matched controls, and black control women. All had performed at 7 o'clock position of vestibule, which were then immunostained detect c-KIT protein. The numbers positive cells per ×400 magnification field manually counted, t tests logistic regression used assess association case-control...
Abstract Context Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with advanced fibrosis is associated cardiovascular (CVD). Objective This work aimed to examine if markers of vascular injury mediate the link between noninvasive tests (LFNITs) and CVD events, compare incremental predictive value LFNITs over established risk scores. Methods Consecutively recruited individuals (n = 1692) or without clinically overt coronary artery (CAD) from Athens Cardiometabolic Cohort, were analyzed. Fibrosis-4...
In addition to chronic hrHPV anogenital infection, continuing inflammatory cervical changes are intrinsic in the development of precancerous lesions. younger women, much this background parallels progressive maturation squamous metaplasia, often rendering treatment interventions redundant; however, patients with persistent precancer, as well those harboring invasive bacterial pathogens, might benefit from controlling active process by shortening HPV natural cycle and avoiding subsequent...
