Introduction: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is one of the main causes renal failure in hospitalized patients, following administration iodinated contrast medium used for CT scans and angiographic procedures. CIAKI determines a high cardiovascular risk appears to be most feared complications coronary angiography, causing notable worsening prognosis with morbidity mortality. Aim: To evaluate possible association between resistive index (RRI) development CIAKI, as well an...
OBJECTIVE Resistant hypertension (RH) may be associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), determining a remarkable increase in cardiovascular risk. The aim of the study was to assess effect six months continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on blood (BP) values, risk markers, and exercise tolerance patients RH OSA. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-four OSA were recruited 24-hour ambulatory BP, intima-media thickness (IMT), flow mediated dilation (FMD), renal resistive index (RRI),...
Abstract Background Regular physical activity (PA) is a valued part of cystic fibrosis (CF) care. Although the accelerometer, SenseWear Armband (SWA), accurately measures habitual PA in CF, it mostly used for research purposes. For first time, we analyzed different methods measuring daily life by use smartphones and other electronic devices such as smartwatch Fitbit. Methods Twenty-four stable adults with CF (mean age 37.5 ± 11.5SD yrs.; FEV 1 58 19% predicted, BMI 22.9 3.2) were studied....
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the overproduction of collagen leading to fibrosis skin and internal organs. Interstitial lung (ILD) one major causes death in patients with SSc. Exercise tolerance can be investigated cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET). First-line therapies SSc associated ILD (SSc-ILD) include cyclophosphamide mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). The aim this study was evaluate response SSc-ILD MMF means CPET. Ten consecutive were enrolled...
Portable liquid oxygen device represents a limit to normal relational and working life, with reduction in mobility physical activity, strongly recommended Cystic Fibrosis (CF). A portable concentrator, reduced weight virtually unlimited autonomy, could represent valid alternative. The aim of the study was evaluate effectiveness compared device, promoting activity patients CF. This crossover included eleven CF (6 F) aged 33,6 ± 9,78 yrs, clinically stable (4 weeks after last exacerbation),...
<b>Introduction:</b> Physical activity (PA) and exercise are an important part of cystic fibrosis (CF) care. The accelerometer, SenseWear Armband (SWA), is a validated device provides accurate estimate PA in the free-living environment. As SWA primarily for research purposes, different methods measuring daily practice required. <b>Aims Objectives:</b> aim was to investigate if dertermined by smartphones (i.e., accelerometer vs new electronic devices) similar information. <b>Methods:</b>...
