Background Wearable sensors-based systems have emerged as a potential tool to continuously monitor Parkinson’s Disease (PD) motor features in free-living environments. Objectives To analyse the responsivity of wearable inertial sensor (WIS) measures (On/Off-Time, dyskinesia, freezing gait (FoG) and parameters) after treatment adjustments. We also aim study ability detection MF, FoG percentage Off-Time, under ambulatory conditions use. Methods conducted an observational, open-label study. PD...
To assess the use of intracameral cefazolin in preventing endophthalmitis cataract surgery.Ophthalmology Department, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain.This study was phacoemulsification procedures performed from January 2002 to December 2007. In 2004, given at end surgery added prophylaxis protocol surgery. The cumulative incidence postoperative before and after addition compared.During period, 18579 were performed. 2-year period introduction prophylaxis, 25 cases diagnosed 5930...
Abstract Background Vedolizumab and ustekinumab are biologic therapies indicated for adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Multiple factors can determine the choice of first-line including response/remission rate, discontinuation rates, safety profile treatment costs. An economic evaluation be used synthesize evidence identify optimal sequences maximize clinical outcomes. The objective was evaluate cost-effectiveness vedolizumab followed by vs. UC who...
Abstract Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by periods of relapse and remission. The main therapeutic goal to induce maintain remission prevent long-term disease progression.1 Given the nature condition, patients often cycle through multiple treatments.2 objective was evaluate overall costs treatment sequencing for anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-exposed UC from societal perspective in Canada. Methods A cost-comparison model developed...
Some of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI)-induced motor side effects are mediated by stimulating 5-HT2 receptors in basal ganglia, probably because inhibits subsequent neuronal dopamine release. We hypothesized that nefazodone, a 2 antagonist/reuptake inhibitor (SARI) selectively blocks receptors, could disrupt aforementioned inhibitory pathway. Therefore, increased levels postsynaptic milieu and an improvement symptoms depressed patients with Parkinson disease (PD) should...
To assess the reproducibility of circadian blood pressure (BP) pattern over a 48-h period by comparing first 24 h ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) with following and mean 48 h.Patients undergoing ABPM within National Registry Spanish Society Hypertension, based on 800 Spacelabs 90207 monitors distributed throughout Spain in hypertension units primary healthcare centres, were included. Between June 2004 September 2005, 611 valid recordings obtained, 235 corresponded to patients without...
Stronger healthcare models are increasingly sought to address new population needs, health workforce inefficiencies and nursing shortages. One strategy is focus on employees' strengths capitalize their competencies maximize scope of practice.Globally, there an exponential demand for advanced practice services. This study aimed identify the roles positions nurses who align with APN defining criteria at all levels care in Catalonia, Spain.The first step included translation validation Catalan...
Objective. To validate an automated system for the detection of patients with nosocomial infection (NI) in intensive care unit (ICU). Design. Retrospective analysis data from hospital information system. We applied 3 different NI suspicion criteria (positive microbiology reports, antibiotic administration, and diagnosis clinical infection) compared results to those a prospective incidence study done ICU during same period (1999-2002). Setting. A 250-bed general Barcelona, Spain. Patients....
Depression and sleep disorders are among the most prevalent nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD). Because agomelatine acts as a MT1 MT2 agonist 5HT2c antagonist, this study was designed to assess efficacy in treating depressive PD patients, potential changes both quality motor symptoms. Depressed patients with were treated for 6 months, they evaluated an array scales. Completed nocturnal video-polysomnography performed at baseline week 12. The analysis population included 24 (12 men)....
To determine the diagnostic performance of home blood pressure self-monitoring in white-coat hypertension using a 3-day reading program.One hundred and ninety nontreated patients recently diagnosed with mild-moderate hypertension, selected consecutively at four primary healthcare centers city Barcelona, were included. Each patient underwent morning night readings triplicate for three consecutive days, followed by 24-h ambulatory monitoring. The normality cut-off point value daytime...
Fundamento: La pérdida de autonomía a edades avanzadas no se asocia únicamente con el envejecimiento sino también características del entorno físico y social. Investigaciones recientes han demostrado que la red social, integración social participación, actúan como predictores discapacidad en vejez. El objetivo este trabajo es analizar efecto sobre nivel (en términos instrumental básica) etapas iniciales Métodos: fuente datos fue primera oleada encuesta "Procesos Vulnerabilidad Vejez",...
