While fundamental concepts outlined in the 2018 consensus [1] will be revisited, emphasis placed on more recent developments.
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an established technique used in clinical and research settings to evaluate total regional fat. Additionally, recently developed software allow quantify visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Currently, there are no reference values available for GE Healthcare DXA systems VAT. The aim of this study was develop VAT healthy European adults aged 20-30 years using a Prodigy densitometer along with the dedicated CoreScan application. We also assessed associations...
Excess visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with a cluster of metabolic abnormalities. A new dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-based VAT measurement approach, CoreScan™, computes mass and volume within the android region total body DXA scan. However, there have been no reference values developed for this method. The objective study was to determine normal ranges DXA-derived in young, healthy, premenopausal women. We also sought associations between VAT, blood lipids, glucose,...
The association between fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and spontaneous cervical artery dissection (SCeAD) has been recognized, but the available evidence on this relationship is scant. Therefore, main goal of our study was to systematically evaluate FMD frequency, clinical characteristics vascular bed involvement in patients with SCeAD. Among 230 referred ARCADIA-POL study, 43 (mean age 44.1 ± 8.9 years; 15 men 28 women) SCeAD were referred. Also, 135 compared without Patients underwent:...

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), regarded as a generalized vascular disease, may affect all beds and result in arterial stenosis, occlusion, aneurysm, or dissection. It has been proposed to systematically evaluate patients with FMD, regardless of initial FMD involvement. However, the impact this approach on clinical decisions management is unknown. Within prospective ARCADIA-POL study (Assessment Renal Cervical Artery Dysplasia–Poland), we evaluated 232 lesions confirmed at least one bed, out...
Introduction. Insomnia may increase risk of cardiovascular events. There is little data available reporting the prevalence and clinical relevance insomnia in patients with essential hypertension. Therefore, aim study was to investigate relationship between different biochemical parameters hypertension patients. Methods. Four hundred thirty‐two (mean age: 47±13 years; 253 male, 179 female) were screened for using Athens Scale (AIS). Several variables including age, sex, known duration...
Objective: To provide a comprehensive assessment of left ventricle (LV) structure, and function to detect alterations in cardiac properties relationship presence, subtypes extent fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). Methods: We studied 144 patients with FMD. The control group consisted 50 matched individuals. Office ambulatory blood pressure levels were evaluated. Echocardiography was employed assess: ventricular mass index (LVMI), systolic including speckle tracking echocardiography diastolic...
Normal weight obesity (NWO) is defined as percentage body fat (%BF) above 30% or %BF in the upper tertile normal subjects. Using these criteria, we assessed lipid profiles, glucose metabolism parameters, blood pressure and regional 91 premenopausal women with NWO 54 age-matched healthy controls.We measured total cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density (LDL), triglycerides (TG), glucose, insulin, visfatin adiponectin.%BF, abdominal (Android) hip (Gynoid) were by dual-energy...
<i>Background:</i> CD4+CD28– lymphocytes are implicated in the destabilization of atheromatous plaque, leading to acute coronary episodes. One may ask whether these cells play a similar role ischemic stroke pathogenesis with an atherosclerotic background. <i>Methods:</i> Flow cytometry was applied determine percentage peripheral blood patients during phase their first (group I) and without history but two most important risk factors (hypertension, diabetes) for...
<i>Background:</i> Previous studies have suggested that α-adducin (α-ADD) polymorphism may identify patients with a salt-sensitive form of hypertension. <i>Aim:</i> To investigate the association between Gly460Trp α-ADD and pattern blood pressure response to subacute (1 week) salt loading depletion in young adult thin Polish hypertensives. <i>Methods:</i> The study group consisted 44 subjects hypertension (SS) 24 non-salt-sensitive (SR). Genomic DNA...
Diabet. Med. 29, 62–69 (2012) Abstract Objective During a period of 12 months, we evaluated the longitudinal impact metabolic control diabetes on selected bone turnover markers, mineral density and serum adiponectin concentrations in post‐menopausal women with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes. Methods Serum total adiponectin, alkaline phosphatase, HbA 1c , urinary deoxypyridinoline excretion, body, lumbar spine hip were measured 57 aged 50–78 years Results At baseline, had normal...
Background: The results of the latest epidemiological studies show that problem hyperuricemia affects many millions people. main purpose study was to assess knowledge physicians with regard epidemiology and treatment in Poland. Methods: CAPI (computer assisted personal interview) interviews were conducted using short questionnaires among primary health care physicians, cardiologists diabetologists. entire questionnaire included 11 questions. Questions asked at 5 different periods time....

This study was undertaken to determine whether the phenotype of monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages is more proatherogenic in young persons with arterial hypertension this affected by smoking or polymorphism angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene.We enrolled 40 patients (24.1 +/- 4.7 years) previously untreated age-matched healthy controls. There were 20 smokers non-smokers each group.In hypertensive group, we found enhanced monocyte expression CD11a (P < 0.001), reduced CD49d...
