Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be known before the (or prevalent AF) or newly detected after (post-stroke AF). Inflammation plays a critical role in pathogenesis of post-stroke AF making inflammatory markers valuable early detection AF. This study investigated predictive value C-reactive protein (CRP) and other biomarkers predicting patients treated with MT. observational...
ABSTRACT Background Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the standard treatment for large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. However, a substantial proportion of patients experience poor functional outcomes despite successful reperfusion, namely futile recanalization (FR). This study aimed to evaluate predictive value inflammatory biomarkers, measured on admission and at 24 h, in identifying risk FR assess age‐specific differences influencing this outcome. Methods international, multicenter,...
There is an increased interest for novel biomarkers in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Moreover, link between inflammation and venous thromboembolism has attracted increasing research interests. The present study aimed evaluate role of platelet‑to‑lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil‑to‑lymphocyte (NLR) monocyte‑to‑high‑density lipoprotein cholesterol (MHR) as acute DVT. For this purpose, 300 consecutive patients who were hospitalized considered; 33 out...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous systemic syndrome that often coexists with multiple comorbidities. In highly complex COPD patients, the role of Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) as risk predictor exacerbation not known. The objective this study was determine effectiveness CIRS score in detecting association comorbidities and severity acute exacerbations patients. total, 105 adults (mean age 72.1 ± 9.0 years) were included prospective study. All...
Background: Current management of COPD is predominantly focused on respiratory aspects. A multidimensional assessment including nutritional assessment, quality life and disability provides a more reliable perspective the true complexity patients. Methods: This was prospective observational study 120 elderly patients at high risk acute exacerbations. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) administered in addition to usual assessment. primary outcome composite moderate or severe exacerbations...
The “Blood pressure levels, clinical features and markers of subclinical cardiovascular Damage Asthma patients” (BADA) study is aimed at defining the risk profile vascular cardiac damage in asthmatic patients. Very few studies have assessed patients without concomitant heart disease through a transthoracic echocardiogram. goal present to investigate prevalence morphology and/or function changes chambers sample 86 with chronic asthma, referred dedicated outpatient unit Division Respiratory...
Background. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous systemic syn-drome that often coexists with multiple comorbidities. In high-complex COPD patients the role of Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) as risk predictor exacerbation not known. Objective. To determine effectiveness CIRS score in detecting association comorbidities and disease severity acute exacerbations patients. Methods. 105 adults were included this prospective study. All participants at baseline had...

Several epidemiological studies suggest that the preservation of physiological circadian rhythm blood pressure or its disruption affects extent organ damage developed by patient. If we classify into four nocturnal profiles, significant differences emerge in terms burden and prognosis: reverse dippers have worst prognosis while mild fall an intermediate risk range. The profile extreme is still debated, available data are very conflicting inconclusive. Starting from this gap knowledge, aimed...
