Introduction Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a prevalent complication of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with major impact on the health affected patient. We hypothesized that mediated by dysfunctionalities associated DN’s three components: sensitive (lack motion sensory), motor (impairments in movement coordination) and autonomic (the presence postural hypotension), DN may impair balance patients. Our study’s main aim to evaluate possible association between severity both impairment risk falls...
In the current work, synergy between natural compounds and conventional chemotherapeutic drugs is comprehensively reviewed in light of preclinical research findings. The prognosis for lung cancer patients poor, with a 5-year survival rate 18.1%. use combination has gained significant attention as potential novel approach treatment cancer. present work highlights importance finding more effective therapies to increase rates. Chemotherapy primary option but it limitations such reduced...
Background/Purpose Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory that results in progressive airflow limitation and distress. Physiopathological features of COPD suggest people who suffer from this have many risk factors for falls been identified older individuals. The aim the study was to compare quantify functional balance between patients healthy subjects; investigate acute stages identify could lead falls. Methods We studied 46 with moderate-severe (29 stable 17...
Background/Purpose Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in severe forms, is commonly associated with multiple cognitive problems. Montreal Cognitive Assessment test (MoCA) used to detect impairment evaluating several areas: visuospatial, memory, attention and fluency. Our study aim was evaluate the impact of stable COPD exacerbation (AECOPD) phases on status using MoCA questionnaire. Methods We enrolled 39 patients (pts), smokers group D (30 9 AECOPD) 13 healthy subjects...
The COVID-19 pandemic affected over 130 million individuals during more than one year. Due to the overload of health-care services, a great number people were treated as outpatients, many them subsequently developing post-acute syndrome. Our study was conducted on 150 subjects without history cardiovascular diseases, outpatients for mild/moderate form 4 12 weeks prior inclusion, and who diagnosed with attended cardiology evaluation transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) persisting symptoms. We...
(1) Background: Although the infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus affects primarily lungs, it is well known that associated cardiovascular (CV) complications are important contributors to increased morbidity and mortality of COVID-19. Thus, in some situations, their diagnosis overlooked, during recovery, patients continue have symptoms enclosed now post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. (2) Methods: In 102 patients, under 55 years old, without a history CV diseases, all diagnosed syndrome, we assessed by...
Data on bacterial or fungal pathogens and their impact the mortality rates of Western Romanian COVID-19 patients are scarce. As a result, purpose this research was to determine prevalence co- superinfections in adults with COVID-19, hospitalized in-ward settings during second half pandemic, its distribution according sociodemographic clinical conditions. The unicentric retrospective observational study conducted 407 eligible patients. Expectorate sputum selected as sampling technique...
Due to their susceptibilities, neonates and infants face unique SARS-CoV-2 challenges. This retrospective study will compare the illness course, symptoms, biomarkers, lung damage in with infection from February 2020 October 2023. was conducted at two hospitals Timisoara, Romania, using real-time multiplex PCR diagnose ultrasonography (LUS) assess involvement. Neonates had a more severe clinical presentation, an increased immune response, greater PCR-positive tests (p = 0.0089) longer...
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung characterized by significant physical and psychological burdens. However, the influence of disease’s severity on factors functional outcomes remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate impact in patients with moderate severe COPD. Methods: cross-sectional included 98 (n = 44) or 54) Anxiety depression, guilt shame, self-compassion, self-efficacy (PRAISE), fear negative evaluation were assessed. Functional...
Remdesivir (RDV) and nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (NMVr) are among the most widely used antivirals in treatment of COVID-19, aiming to reduce disease severity progression. Adverse neuropsychiatric effects, such as anxiety, sleep disturbances, movement disorders, have emerged significant concerns associated with these treatments. To better understand safety profiles RDV NMVr, this study performs a pharmacovigilance analysis individual case reports (ICSRs) from EudraVigilance (EV) database....
Background: Asthma, a chronic respiratory disease characterized by airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness, exhibits significant heterogeneity in its presentation. This study aimed to investigate age-related comorbidity patterns, seasonal variations, demographic trends among cohort of asthma patients within defined geographical region. Methods: A retrospective analysis 13,695 admitted Romanian hospital from 2013 2023 was conducted. Comorbidity patterns were analyzed using network across...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in severe forms, is commonly associated with systemic inflammation and balance impairment. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact on equilibrium stable exacerbation (acute COPD [AECOPD]) phases investigate if there a connection between lower extremity muscle weakness inflammation.We enrolled 41 patients (22 19 AECOPD) 20 healthy subjects (control group), having no significant differences regarding anthropometric data. We...
Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of depression and its impact on quality diabetes-related self-care activities in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients methods: In this cross-sectional study, 184 diabetes were enrolled. Depression was evaluated using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 while assessed Summary Diabetes-Related Self Care Activities Questionnaire. Results: our study group, 53.3% had moderate depression, 17.9% severe 28.8% no symptoms. Patient’s age ( P =0.024), presence...
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of several factors on patient's perception quality life in a group patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Patients and methods: In this cross-sectional study, 198 T2DM were enrolled according to consecutive-case population-based study design. all participants, was measured using index – version III proposed by Ferrans Powers. We evaluated anthropometric diabetes-related (ie, history glycemic control) life. Results: The presence complications associated...
To assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and evaluate proinflammatory status in patients with type 1 diabetes, to analyse relationship between inflammation, control insulin resistance these patients.Patients diabetes were stratified according presence or absence syndrome. Serum adiponectin, leptin, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) quantified.The was 28.6% (22/77). Patients had lower adiponectin concentrations higher TNF-α,...
