To investigate the relationship between lung anatomy and pulmonary mechanics in acute respiratory failure (ARF), 20 patients with ARF underwent computerized tomography (CT) at 3 levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) (5,10, 15 cm H2O) . The static pressure-volume curve total system volumes (helium dilution method) were also measured. By knowing analyzing CT number frequency distribution, a quantitative estimate normally aerated, poorly nonaerated tissue was obtained each level...
Twenty-two patients with acute respiratory failure underwent lung computed tomography (CT) and physiological measurements at 5, 10, 15 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to investigate the relationship between morphology function. Lung densities were primarily concentrated in dependent regions. From frequency distribution of CT numbers (difference x-ray attenuation water lung) gas volume authors obtained a quantitative estimate normally inflated, poorly non-inflated tissue...
Objectives To evaluate the effect of an innovative model integrating telemonitoring vital parameters and telephone support on 6‐month survival hospital admissions elderly adults with heart failure ( HF ). Design Parallel‐arm, randomized trial. Setting Geriatric acute care ward outpatient clinic at Policlinico Campus Biomedico (Rome, Italy). Participants Individuals aged 65 older (mean age 80) randomly assigned to intervention (n = 50) or control 46). had average ejection fraction 46%....
Background: Age-related changes in pulmonary function increase respiratory muscle work. In the face of this increased demand, poor mass, frequently associated with age and multi-morbidity, can reduce endurance strength muscles. Furthermore, mass may per se contribute to exercise intolerance lower physical performance. The aim study was evaluate if has a significant impact on performance an elderly population. Methods: We included 68 patients (28 men 40 women) aged over 65 years (mean 79...
Objective: Few data are available on the effect of diet in general bone health. The objective this study was to identify dietary patterns and evaluate association between such mineral density (BMD) changes over time.Methods: We analyzed a sample women aged ≥65 years participating InCHIANTI Study. BMD evaluated using computed tomography tibia nutritional intake EPIC questionnaire. used cluster analysis intake. clusters were compared with respect intake; risk factors for osteoporosis;...
Glycemic abnormalities are a frequent finding in pediatric oncological patients, both during treatment and after its discontinuation. Moreover, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), fasting glycemia (IFG) diabetes mellitus (DM) not rarely diagnosed non-oncological hematological diseases. To explore the current Italian approach to diagnosis management of glycemic alterations this clinical setting and, thus, identify enforce needs, we submitted an online 23-items survey all Associazione Italiana...
Swelling of the salivary glands occurring after injection iodine-based contrast agent is a rare late adverse reaction. Only few cases in literature illustrate such ultrasound findings.
Background: Adiponectin, leptin, and resistin are involved in bone metabolism, but the evidence regarding their effects is not conclusive. We analyzed relationship between these adipokines, vitamin D, health using a cluster analysis approach. Methods: used cross-sectional data coming from InCHIANTI study, which density area were estimated computed tomography. The sample size was 690 (women, 57.5%; mean age, 75.2 years; range, 65–102). Five clusters generated on basis of gender, D...
In older adults, hyponatremia often represents a medical emergency and is frequently associated with neurological manifestations or symptomatic pictures that the clinician mistakes for other pathologies. This paper deals some practical considerations in assessment management of adults acute care setting, following clinical discussion took place at Soave (Italy) meeting convened by scientific committee Italian Society Geriatrics Hospital Territory.
Nutrition plays a fundamental role in the management of frail elderly patients. Indeed, effective can reduce common pathological situations, such as malnutrition, refeeding syndrome, and aspiration pneumonia, which increase morbidity mortality intensive care unit settings. To optimize this management, it is essential to have knowledge basic aspects timing, route, composition nutrition, well prevention most adverse events.
A 76-year-old man underwent an emergency laparotoray for a ruptured abdominal aortic ancurysm After few days he presented ischemia of the left side colon and subsequently atrial fibrillation developed that was treated with Amiodarone. intravascular loading dose 300 mg, received maintenance 600 mg daily through central line access. 28 drug therapy, chest X-ray showed high attenuation homogeneous image in right part mediastinum. contrast enhanced thoracic computed tomography scan showed: mass...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a current problem for elderly patients due to diffusion, mortality, and other negative outcomes. The most complex management aspects consist of the presence frailty, which increases risk complications adverse drug events reduces effectiveness treatments. In this context, determine best individualized treatment, it crucial have an excellent understanding medical non-medical treatments available, use ventilation systems, combined with in-depth geriatric...
