Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) has a low incidence but is life-threatening illness with 10–15% mortality rate. Even timely treatment, survivors may experience acute and long-term health complications. While vaccines are recommended for adolescents young adults in the USA, vaccination coverage remains uneven across serotypes. This study investigated physical, social, psychological, economic burden of IMD on their caregivers USA during phase (Part 1, presented this manuscript) 2,...
Essential hypertension (EH) is a disease in which both environment and genes have an important role. This study was designed to identify the interaction model between genetic variants environmental risk factors that most highly potentiates EH development.We performed case-control with 1641 participants (mean age 50.6 ± 8.1 years), specifically 848 patients 793 controls, adjusted for gender age. Traditional factors, biochemical parameters, including genotypic discrimination of 14 previously...
Abstract Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is highly effective in people living with HIV (PLHIV), but its success depends on treatment satisfaction and adherence. A determinant of regards how the medication delivered to patient, namely it contained (e.g., bottles, blisters, etc). new packaging Biktarvy ® has been introduced as a monthly blister, aiming improve satisfaction, facilitate traceability daily medication, portability, discretion (reducing stigma associated ART), and,...
Abstract Background It is known that a low HDL-c level associated with high risk of overall mortality. Consequently, it was presumed achieving higher levels high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) would reduce the or even extend lifespan. However, clinical trials medical intervention failed to find benefits. Aim We aimed investigate association between and mortality using prospective cohort from Portugal. Methods A sub-study (2001-2022) performed in 1718 participants without coronary...
Abstract Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) shares environmental and genetic factors. Young patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) carry a poor long-term prognosis. The clinical utility of information in predicting CAD events remains unknown. Aim Evaluate the multiplicative Genetic Risk Score (mGRS) to predict lifelong residual risk below 55 years few Methods 475 non-diabetic LDL cholesterol levels 100mg/dL at first admission who suffered prior MI age ≤55 were followed prospectively for mean...
