This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the benefits and clinical outcomes of piezocision, which is a minimally invasive approach corticotomy that used in orthodontic treatments. Twenty-four adult patients presenting with mild overcrowdings were randomly allocated either control group was treated conventional orthodontics or test received piezo-assisted orthodontics. The piezocisions performed 1 wk week after placement appliances. Neither grafting material nor sutures used. All...
Asthmatics and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have more severe outcomes viral infections than people without disease.
Various symptoms and considerable organ dysfunction persist following infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Uncertainty remains about the potential mid- long-term health sequelae. This prospective study of patients hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Liège University Hospital, Belgium aimed to determine persistent consequences COVID-19.Patients admitted Hospital moderate-to-severe confirmed COVID-19, discharged between 2 March 1 October...
Background: The "Cancer Risk Calculator” mobile application aims to inform patients about their personal risks of cancer and risk factors influencingsaid risks. present analysis examines the responses a questionnaire submitted by oncology treated with radiotherapy or family members. Objective: primary objective was determine effectof app on user's awareness potential habit changes related risk. Further, study aimed discern any relationships between respondent characteristics responses....
The obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome with its various phenotypes, as assessed by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), has become a major public health issue. While physicians are regularly faced variety of patients OSA complaints, they may not be aware that in nonobese young adults remains largely underinvestigated topic. It is hypothesized that, these subjects, facial bone volumes smaller than healthy adults. This cross-sectional, nonrandomized, controlled study was designed to compare 3D...
Functional biomarkers able to identify multiple sclerosis (MS) patients at high risk of fast disability progression are lacking. The aim this study was evaluate the ability multimodal (upper and lower limbs motor, visual, somatosensory) evoked potentials (EP) monitor disease course exposed unfavourable evolution. One hundred MS were assessed with somatosensory motor EP rated on Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) baseline (T0) about 6 years later (T1). Spearman correlation (rS) used...
This retrospective observational study summarizes the experiences of 820 patients treated with a new Curcuma extract (Flexofytol®, 4-6 capsules per day), for more than 6 months various forms painful osteoarthritis. These were reported by 110 Belgian general practitioners via questionnaire that included quality-of-life parameters assessing patient experience. Data submitted to an independent statistician analysis. Within first weeks, Flexofytol® improved pain, articular mobility, and quality...
The objective of this article is to describe the population pharmacokinetics (PK) temocillin administered via continuous infusion (CI) versus intermittent (II) in critically ill patients with pneumonia. Secondary objectives included characterization epithelial lining fluid (ELF)/plasma penetration ratios and determination probability target attainment (PTA) for a range MICs. Thirty-two mechanically ventilated who were treated pneumonia 6 g daily vitro sensitive pathogens assigned either II...
The role of herbal products in the prevention cardiovascular disease requires supporting evidence. This open pilot study assessed effect 2-month supplementation a combination olive leaf and fruit extracts (Tensiofytol®, Tilman SA, Baillonville, Belgium) clinical management hypertension metabolic syndrome (MetS).A total 663 (pre)-hypertensive patients were enrolled by general practitioners supplemented for two months with Tensiofytol®, capsules per day (100 mg/d oleuropein 20 hydroxytyrosol)....
Abstract Background As cardiovascular diseases represent the main cause of non-AIDS related death in people living with HIV (PLWH) undetectable viral load, we evaluated lipid profile, weight gain and calculated risk change after switching from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based regimens to alafenamide (TAF)-based regimens. Methods For this retrospective study, selected HIV-infected patients suppressed load who fitted one two groups below: First group (TDF/TDF): Patients treated...
Platelets have been involved in both immune surveillance and host defense against severe infection. To date, whether platelet phenotype or other hemostasis components could be associated with predisposition to sepsis critical illness remains unknown. The aim of this work was identify markers that predict occurrence critically ill injured patients. This single-center, prospective, observational, 7-month study based on a cohort 99 non-infected adult patients admitted ICUs for elective cardiac...
The aim of this trial was to test whether the use a smartphone application (app) connected toothbrush improves oral hygiene compliance adolescent orthodontic patients.The study designed as multicentre, randomized, controlled clinical trial.Two academic hospitals.The approved by ethics committee.This multicentre randomized conducted on 38 adolescents aged 12-18 years with full-fixed appliances. Participants were randomly assigned either group that used an interactive oscillating/rotating...
Introduction: Auricular low-level transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (aLL-tVNS) has emerged as a promising technology for cardiac arrhythmia management but is still experimental. In this physiological study, we hypothesized that aLL-tVNS modulated the autonomic nervous balance through reduction of sympathetic tone and an increase in heart rate variability (HRV). We investigated muscle activity (MSNA) recorded by microneurography during vagally mediated active control on healthy...
Background and objective Rheumatoid arthritis associated-interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) is the most common pulmonary manifestation of rheumatoid (RA) an important cause mortality. In patients suffering from interstitial diseases (ILD) different etiologies (including RA-ILD), a significant proportion exhibiting fibrotic progression despite immunosuppressive therapies, defined as progressive fibrosing (PF-ILD). Here, we report frequency RA-ILD PF-ILD in all RA patients’ cohort at...
Polypharmacy and drug interactions are important issues for HIV-infected individuals. The number nature of those continuously evolving with the use new antiretroviral drugs aging We aimed to analyze this evolution over time.This retrospective cohort study was conducted in University Hospital Liège (Belgium). Treatments outpatients attending were collected analyzed 2012 2016. Liverpool HIV database used determine interactions.We included 1038 patients 2016, whom 78% had 1 comedication. seen...
The retention of patients in care is a key pillar the continuum HIV care. It has been suggested that implementation "treat-all" strategy may favor attrition (death or lost to follow-up, as opposed retention), specifically subgroup asymptomatic people living with (PLWH) high CD4 counts. Attrition could mitigate success universal antiretroviral therapy (ART) resource-limited settings. We performed retrospective study PLWH at least 15 years old initiating ART 85 centers Kinshasa, Democratic...
Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) is a promising tracer for sentinel lymph node biopsy in early breast cancer. This randomized study was conducted to evaluate with ICG compared blue dye as woman cancer without any sign of invasion. Methods: Between January 2019 and November 2020, 240 consecutive women were enrolled using or dye. The primary endpoint the detection rate both arms. Results: used 121 patients detected nodes all (detection rate, 100%; 95% CI: 96.9–100.0) while 119 116 rate:...
