Background: Several perioperative inflammatory markers are postulated to be significant factors for long-term survival after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB). Hematological parameters, whether single or combined as indices, provide higher predictive values. Methods: The study group comprised 538 consecutive patients (125 (23%) females and 413 (77%) males) with a mean age of 65 ± 9 years, who underwent OPCAB follow-up time 4.7 1.7 years. This single-center retrospective...
Cardiovascular diseases, apart from commonly known risk factors, are related to inflammation. There several simple novel markers proposed present the relation between inflammatory reactions activation and atherosclerotic changes. They easily available whole blood count include neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte (MLR), platelets (PLR). The RDW results were excluded analysis.The study based on retrospective single-centre analysis of 682 consecutive patients (131 (19%) females 551...
Abstract The objective of this study was to assess the thoracic kyphosis (ThKA) and lumbar lordosis (LLA) in healthy young adults investigate potential relationships between spinal curvatures, self-reported physical activity (PA), somatic parameters. included 380 female students 211 male aged 20.7 ± 1.5 years. ThKA LLA were measured using a Plurimeter-V gravity inclinometer. level PA estimated International Physical Activity Questionnaire. lower women compared men, while higher than men (p...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) represents a complex carbohydrate metabolism disorder characterized by inflammatory over-reactivity. The study aimed to investigate the potential influence of postoperative activation on mortality risk after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in diabetic patients. There were 510 patients treated with due stable disease, including 175 type-2 DM (T2DM.) mean follow-up time was 3.7 +/− 1.5 years 9% all-cause rate group. In multivariable analysis, preoperative...
Coronary artery bypass revascularization is still the optimal treatment for complex coronary disease with good long-term results. The relation between inflammatory activation in post-operative period and prognosis was already postulated. possible predictive role of preoperative indexes after off-pump grafting technique on long term survival aim study. Study population included 171 patients a median age 64 years (59-64) operated using January December 2014. Patients enrolled current study...
Carotid artery stenosis is often considered a stable clinical condition, and the underlying atherosclerosis thought to have an inflammatory background.The aim of study was assess value different parameters obtained from whole blood counts for prediction advanced carotid atherosclerosis, including vessel occlusion, irrespective symptom occurrence.The group comprised 290 patients (84 (29%) females 206 (71%) males) with mean age 68 ±8 years, who were admitted Vascular Surgery Department due...
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important aggravating factor for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) outcomes. CVD still seems to be one of the most common cause death in long-term post-transplant period. Nevertheless, there are some limited data regarding optimal strategy risk assessment during OLT candidate evaluation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Routine pre-transplant cardiac workup 360 patients with end stage (ESLD) included electrocardiogram, echocardiography, and exercise...
The electrical properties of cells and tissues in relation to energy exposure have been investigated, presenting their resistance capacitance characteristics. dielectric response radiofrequency fields exhibits polarization heterogeneity under pathological conditions. aim the study was analyze differences changes measurements range from 1 kHz MHz, combined with an assessment correlation between results impedance spectroscopy (EIS) inflammatory activation.In prospective study, EIS performed on...
Biological therapies used in psoriasis treatment pose a risk of reactivation hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. This occurs not only patients with HB surface antigen (HBsAg) (+) but also past or occult HBV infection (with negative HBsAg, positive core antibodies (HBcAb), and deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA]). Ustekinumab (UST) is biologic agent acts by blocking the IL-12/23 pathway. Thus, hindering this response may lead to reactivation. UST therapy associated mild HBV-r risk; however, there...
Background and objective: Coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes deaths nowadays trends in diagnosis revascularization are still plateau despite well-known factors. Simple whole blood count parameters may be used to measure inflammatory reactions that involved processes atherosclerosis progression. The aim our study was analyse association between simply available hematologic indices long-term mortality following off-pump coronary bypass grafting (OPCAB). Material Methods:...
Combination therapy with pegylated interferon, ribavirin and a first-generation NS3/4A protease inhibitor, telaprevir or boceprevir, is the new strategy for treatment of genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C virus infection. This combination improves therapeutic efficacy but it also increases risk adverse events.The aim study was to analyze frequency severity dermatological events during inhibitor-based evaluate factors their development.This retrospective 109 patients treated boceprevir (n=33)...
Cardiac surgeons have to face the problem of impaired left ventricle function in patients undergoing routine valve or coronary procedures. The intra-aortic balloon pump is not always effective preventing cardiac failure. idea using a microaxial rotating as short-term perioperative support seems be convenient solution. case patient with dilated cardiomyopathy combined mitral and surgery elective use Impella LD presented. Various options applying device are discussed, especially bridge...
(1) Background: The combination of candidate selection, immunosuppressive therapy adjustment, and scrutinous monitoring is a cornerstone for optimizing long-term survival after heart transplant. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) simple marker inflammatory reactions activation may play clinical role as predictive in oncological cardiovascular diseases. aim the study was to find hematologic indices available from whole blood count help monitoring. (2) Methods: Thirty patients (23 men 7...
A man in his 40s was referred to our centre with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease for transplant evaluation. Three months prior presentation he had developed periorbital oedema and discolouration, papules over the dorsal aspect of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints mucocutaneous ulcerations dorsum palmar aspects MCPs. He also been experiencing shortness breath. Based on characteristic appearance cutaneous lesions, lack muscle weakness clinical examination, rapid progression...
Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase that adds repetitive telomere sequences to the end of chromosomes, which thought be essential for cellular immortality and oncogenesis. The enzyme consists three subunits: human telomerase (hTERT), RNA (hTR), protein 1 (TP1). hTERT subunit determines activity as an detected in most tumors regenerative cells. But many studies have revealed hTR TP1 are expressed constitutively. This resuts suggest subunits may potentially good markers endogenous control....
W Polsce współczynnik zapadalności na gruźlicę jest wyższy niż średnia dla krajów Unii Europejskiej, Norwegii czy Islandii
Wprowadzenie. Otyłość i nadwaga wśród młodzieży to problem, który od lat wykazuje tendencje wzrostowe mimo wielu kampanii programów prowadzonych przez różne instytucje. Czynnikami mającymi realny wpływ na duże wartości BMI są głównie nieprawidłowe żywienie oraz niedostateczna ilość/brak ruchu.Cel pracy. Analiza aktywności fizycznej sposobu żywienia z III Liceum Ogólnokształcącego w Białymstoku Zespołu Szkół Zawodowych nr 5 Białymstoku.Materiał metody. Badaniem objęto 304 uczniów dwóch szkół,...
