We investigated the relationship between day-night blood pressure (BP) dip and early morning BP surge in an cohort of 3012 initially untreated subjects with essential hypertension. The reduction systolic showed a direct association sleep trough (r = 0.564; P < 0.0001) preawakening 0.554; surge. Over mean follow-up period 8.44 years, 268 developed major cardiovascular event (composite death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure requiring hospitalization) 220 died. In Cox...

No questionnaire is currently available to evaluate sexual function after male-to-female gender affirming surgery. Such a limit leads suboptimal evaluation in postoperative these patients. We developed and validated new questionnaire, the oMtFSFI (operated Male-to-Female Sexual Function Index), for assessing patients surgery.A panel of experts dysphoria defined main content areas be assessed, including genital self-image, desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction pain. After pretest...
We evaluated possible factors predicting testicular cancer in patients undergoing testis sparing surgery.We retrospectively analyzed the records of all who underwent surgery for a small mass at total 5 centers. All with 1 solitary lesion 2 cm or less on preoperative ultrasound were enrolled study. Testis consisted tumor enucleation frozen section examination. Immediate radical orchiectomy was performed cases malignancy examination but otherwise testes spared. Univariate and multivariate...
Objectives We tested the hypothesis that voltages of QRS on ECG improve risk stratification in hypertensive patients without left ventricular hypertrophy ECG. Methods and results studied 2042 initially untreated with hypertension (mean age 49 years, 46% women) no history cardiovascular disease. At entry, all underwent diagnostic tests, including 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring echocardiography. Among different voltages, R wave lead aVL showed closest association ventricle (LV) mass...
Background and objectives The effect of mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors has never been tested in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) severe renal insufficiency. Design, setting, participants, & measurements In this academic, prospective, randomized, open label, blinded end point, parallel group trial (ClinicalTrials.gov no. NCT01223755), 41 adults ADPKD, CKD stage 3b or 4, proteinuria ≤0.5 g/24 h were randomized between September 2010 March...
Hyperuricemia is present in about 5% of the population, and allopurinol frequently used to treat it. The use this drug can be associated with a number side effects, indicating allergic reactions, such as skin rash, reversible after its withdrawal. In some cases more severe hypersensitivity reactions may seen, erythema multiforme exudativum, or Steven-Johnson Syndrome (SJS). Reversible clinical hepatotoxicity, well acute renal failure, also develop therapy. We describe here case 74-year-old...
