BACKGROUND The increasing incidence of osteoporotic hip fracture (HF) has raised the requirements red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, whereas this scarce resource may cause morbidity and mortality. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This study was a multicenter, randomized, double‐blind, clinical trial that aimed to assess efficacy ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) with or without erythropoietin (EPO) in reducing RBC transfusion perioperative period HF. Participants (patients > 65 years admitted HF...
Abstract: In southern Spain, Dermacentor marginatus ticks can be infected with several genospecies of spotted fever Group (SFG) Rickettsia . We developed a nested polymerase chain reaction assay by using species‐specific probe targeting the ompA gene to detect and differentiate between two groups rickettsiae previously described in D. SFG rickettsia has been detected 85.15% studied (26.7% positives have R. slovaca , causative agent TIBOLA‐DEBONEL, 73.3% closely related strains...
We evaluated the influence of hereditary make-up on development systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in two ethnic groups [Gypsy and white Caucasian Mediterranean (WCM) populations], living same geographic area. compared 81 WCM 25 Gypsy patients with SLE. The control group consisted 185 healthy unrelated individuals, 105 WC 80 Gypsies. In population, onset SLE occurred at earlier ages than other (25.9 versus 32.0 years, P = 0.02), showed lower SLEDAI peak values (4.9 7.0, 0.016). frequency...
Around one third to half of patients with hip fractures require red-cell pack transfusion. The increasing incidence fracture has also raised the need for this scarce resource. Additionally, transfusions are not without complications which may involve excessive morbidity and mortality. This makes it necessary develop blood-saving strategies. Our objective was assess safety, efficacy, cost-effictveness combined treatment i.v. ferric carboxymaltose erythropoietin (EPOFE arm) versus (FE a...
Using technologies of information and communication (TICs) is emerging in medical assistance. TICs application for assistance promising. Its applicability advanced heart and/or respiratory failure still controversial because studies have shown methodological weakness which could put danger their conclusions. Our objective to evaluate efficacy the home monitoring biological parameters a multi-level model coordinated clinical care patients with chronic diseases (HF) (RF) comparison...
The addition of home monitoring to an integrated care model in patients with advanced chronic heart/lung diseases decreases mortality, hospital and emergency admissions, improves functional status, HRQoL, is cost-effective.
Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (IPPFE) is a rare disease, idiopathic in most of the cases described literature. We report case 55-year-old patient, non-smoker with tuberculosis treated his youth, starting progressive dyspnoea and cough, radiographic abnormalities consisting pleural thickening, bronchiectasis structural distortion predominantly upper lobes. Due to functional impairment persistent abnormalities, biopsy by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical was decided. The...
