Depression in patients with heart failure commonly goes undiagnosed and untreated. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a simple, valid measure of depressive symptoms that may facilitate clinical assessment. It has not been validated failure.To test the reliability, concurrent construct validity PHQ-9 failure.A total 322 (32% female, 61 ± 12 years, 56% New York Heart Association class III/IV) completed PHQ-9, Beck Inventory-II (BDI-II), Control Attitudes Scale (CAS).Cronbach's alpha...
Abstract Background Understanding the role of smartphones to promote health status older adults is important in digital society. Little known about effects having on physical frailty despite its positive effect well-being adults. This study aimed explore association between smartphone ownership and community-dwelling underlying mechanism. Methods We used data from Korean Frailty Aging Cohort Study analyzed 2,469 aged 72–86 years. Frailty, literacy, social support were assessed by Fried’s...
Background: Because patients with heart failure (HF) experience multiple symptoms simultaneously, it is necessary to explore symptom clusters rather than individual determine their impact on outcomes. Given gender differences in experience, examination of potential reasonable. Objective: The objective the study was compare between men and women HF, patient characteristics among clusters, cardiac event-free survival. Methods: A total 331 HF recruited from clinics were included (35% female 62%...
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a mediator of airway inflammation and remodelling in asthma. Transforming (TGF)-β 1 plays pivotal roles diverse biological processes, including tissue repair number chronic lung diseases. However, there are few studies elucidating the interactions between VEGF TGF-β allergic disease. A murine model disease was used to define mechanism by which induces subepithelial fibrosis investigate potential relationship mechanisms signalling regulates...
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma by regulating activation inflammatory mediators, cell recruitment and immune function. Recent findings have indicated that PI3Ks also regulate expression interleukin (IL)-17, which has been recognised as an important cytokine involved in airway inflammation. In present study, we investigated a role PI3Kδ regulation IL-17 allergic disease using murine model asthma. After ovalbumin inhalation, administration selective...
Background: health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is markedly impaired in patients with heart failure (HF). Despite worse prognosis and physical status, older have better HRQOL than younger patients. Objective: to determine reasons for differences compared HF Methods: a mixed methods approach was used. assessed using the Minnesota Living Questionnaire among (n = 603) four age groups (≤53, 54–62, 63–70 ≥71 years). Socio-demographic/clinical psychological factors related were determined...
In patients with invasive pneumococcal disease who have been previously exposed to antibiotics, the time elapsed from end of most recent treatment course appears be important factor predicting antimicrobial resistance.
Poor sleep quality is common and associated with poor of life health status in patients heart failure. However, few investigators have focused on the impact impaired survival failure.To examine whether self-reported prognosis failure.The study sample consisted 204 Sleep was measured Pittsburgh Quality Index. sleepers were defined as scores greater than 5 index. Patients followed up for a median 364 days to determine cardiac events (a composite death, hospitalizations, or emergency department...
Symptom monitoring is considered the first step toward self-care management (actions to manage altered symptom status) avert worsening heart failure (HF). However, empirical evidence demonstrating that leads adequate lacking. We examined relationship of adherence regular with in HF patients.A total 311 patients (60 years, 35% women) were divided into 3 groups by 2 behaviors (monitoring daily weights and lower extremity edema). Patients who adherent both formed group (15.1%). Those either...
Purpose.: To investigate the effect of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in subgroups angle closure eyes based on anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS OCT)-derived parameters. Methods.: Angle (primary [PAC] or PAC glaucoma [PACG]) were imaged using AS OCT before and 2 weeks after LPI. A hierarchical cluster analysis was performed parameters obtained LPI, such as chamber depth (ACD), width (ACW), iris cross-sectional area (IA), opening distance thickness at 750 μm from scleral...
Background: Although incomplete understanding of heart failure and its signs symptoms appears to be a barrier successful self-care, there are few studies examining the relationship between self-care levels comprehensive symptoms. Aim: To determine whether is associated with in patients who were recently discharged from hospital due exacerbation. Methods: Patients completed nine-item European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior scale questionnaire assess knowledge Three groups formed by their...
Background: Inability of heart failure (HF) patients to recognize worsening symptoms that herald an exacerbation is a common reason for HF readmissions.
Patients with heart failure (HF) experience difficulty performing activities of daily living. As impaired functional status is adversely associated outcomes, it important to accurately evaluate patient status. The Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) a 12-item, self-administered questionnaire measure However, its psychometric properties have not been determined in patients HF. purpose this study was examine the DASI We used data from 297 diagnosis HF (age 61±11 years, 31% female) for testing....
As heart failure (HF) is a progressive, debilitating condition, life-long self-care required to achieve good outcomes. Rural residents with HF encounter more challenges adherence than their urban counterparts because of rural-urban inequalities related socioeconomic resources and access health care. To date, investigators have focused on in patients settings, although factors may be different between rural residents.The aim this study was explore the variables living areas.A total 580 USA...
Abstract Background Vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) plays a pro‐inflammatory mediator as well vascular permeability in bronchial asthma. Insulin‐like IGF )‐ I is also involved the inflammatory process associated with asthma and stimulates expression. The ‐binding proteins IGFBP s), especially ‐3, display distinctive properties can interfere various biological processes. Methods In this study, an ovalbumin OVA )‐induced murine model of allergic airway disease was used to...
Backgrounds: Perceptions of health are important to motivate people change behaviors. Non-adherence healthy behaviors that prevent cardiovascular disease may result from inadequate perceptions. However, there few studies investigating relationships between perceptions and psychological states. Objective: To determine whether states (ie, depressive symptoms anxiety) associated with the congruency perception estimated risk for in adults 2 or more factors. Methods: Community dwellers at were...
Summary In patients with heart failure ( HF ), higher body mass index BMI ) has been associated lower rates of hospitalization and mortality (obesity paradox). Symptoms are antecedents hospitalizations, but little is known about the relationship between symptoms gender differences. To examine association in male female , controlling for covariates (sample characteristics, depressive sodium intake). this cross‐sectional correlational study, N = 247) provided data on covariates. was...
