The definition of PEF, written by the European Respiratory Society, states that it is the maximum flow achieved during the expiration phase, delivered with maximal force, starting from the maximum level of lung inflation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the variations of PEF associated with height, age, body surface area, place of residence and environmental factors among healthy adults in an urban setting in Poland. Material and methods: The study comprised 88 healthy, non-smoking subjects: 30 females and 58 males, aged 20–80 years. Epidemiological and demographic data were collected from each participant, as well as information on symptoms and the occurrence of lung diseases. Only healthy subjects were selected for analysis. Participants completed spirometry testing; physical parameters were measured, and appropriate additional data obtained. Results: Among the study group of 88 participants (30 females and 58 males), peak expiratory flow rate was negatively correlated with age (p = 0.000001), and positively correlated with height and body surface area (both p < 0.000001). There was a significant negative correlation between PEF and longitudinal environmental factors such as different particulate matter levels (p = 0.0007) present at the place of residence. Conclusions: Peak expiratory flow changes are present in a healthy adult population. Place of residence and environmental factors influence the results of spirometry tests.","PeriodicalId":169652,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Medical Science - Civilization Diseases","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115453941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diabetic complications were questioned. A relationship between endoscopic and histopathological findings, glycated hemoglobin (HbA 1c ) level, and complications was investigated. Results: A total of 105 patients, 61 (58%) females, were included into the study. In a comparison between the groups, there was no statistically significant difference between glycemic regulation and endoscopic findings and the presence of HP. Comparing diabetic complications, no significant difference was observed in patients with complications from the endoscopic findings, except for pangastritis. The presence of HP was similar in both groups. Conclusions: It can be said that endoscopic findings and presence of HP are not closely related to glycemic control and complications in diabetic patients. However, these results should be supported by larger, multi-center, prospective studies.","PeriodicalId":169652,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Medical Science - Civilization Diseases","volume":"556 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116518132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to determine whether the use of AASs increases the susceptibility for VVS or autonomic dysfunction in AAS users by the head-up tilt test (HUTT). Material and methods: Cross-sectional observational study conducted with physically active young men, users (AAS group; n = 10) and non-users (Control group, n = 13) of AAS. The history of physical activity and age of each participant were recorded and the following examinations were performed: physical, biochemical, hormonal, electrocardiogram (ECG), 24-hour Holter recorder equipment. The 24-hour Holter and HUTT were conducted to detect the presence of arrhythmias/heart rate variability, and VVS/dysautonomia, respectively. Of the 28 participants recruited, 5 were excluded for not having completed the examinations. Results: Compared with non-users, users of AAS showed an increase in aspartate aminotransferase (Control: 29.7 ±1.8; AAS: 49.9 ±9.0 UI/l; p < 0.05), in ventricular extrasystoles (Control: 2.5 ±2.3; AAS: 14.9 ±11.2, p < 0.05), and reduction in the pNN50 index of Holter (Control: 24.3 ±4.0%; AAS: 14.8 ±4.0%, p < 0.05). The HUTT showed that the maximum value of diastolic blood pressure was increased in the AAS user group (Control: 78.3 ±2.1; AAS: 90.0 ±5.4 mm Hg, p < 0.05). Conclusions: The study showed that the use of AAS is able to promote an autonomic dysfunction, with a ventricular arrhythmia. In addition it was found that among AAS users there was a positive result for the HUTT.","PeriodicalId":169652,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Medical Science - Civilization Diseases","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115687764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SCA can be either an isolated anomaly or associated with other congenital abnormalities such as bicuspid aortic valve. Most of the cases of SCA are asymptomatic. The malignant variety of SCA is the type in which SCA is located between the aorta and the pulmonary artery [2]. An 83-year-old woman with suspected chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) was admitted to the cardiology department for elective coronary angiography. While performing the procedure, it was difficult to cannulate the left main artery in the left aortic sinus with JL4 and JL3.5 standard catheters. The right coronary ostium was engaged with a JR4 catheter, demonstrating a superdominant right coronary artery with additional left anterior descending and circumflex arteries arising from the right coronary ostium (Figures 1 A, B). There were no significant atherosclerotic lesions in any of the branches. The patient received conservative treatment and was discharged from the hospital 1 day later. Based on the site of origin and anatomical distribution of the branches, SCA is classified into 2 main categories: “R,” right type, and “L,” left type. In 75% of the cases, the artery is located between the aorta and the pulmonary artery, leading to an increased risk of sudden cardiac death due to its compression [2]. Therefore, additional assessment of the course of the vessel using computed tomography should be considered as a routine diagnostic approach [3]. Approximately 30% of the patients with malignant artery course die during the first 2 decades of life [4]. However, the clinical course in our patient was uneventful. The co-existence of SCA with CCS can have a significant impact on the course of CCS and prognosis. The anomaly may pose a diagnosis and treatment challenge during coronary catheterization and revascularisation procedures.","PeriodicalId":169652,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Medical Science - Civilization Diseases","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116566372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pseudomonas aeruginosa acquire several mechanisms of resistance towards carbapenems through the production of metallo-β-lactamases, especially VIM and IMP. The problem of multi-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is increasing all over the world, reaching dangerous levels. The aim of this study was to detect the metallo-β-lactamases blaVIM and blaIMP genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains in Suez Canal University Hospital in Ismailia, Egypt. Material and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 65 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. Genotypic detection of blaVIM and blaIMP was reached by using polymerase chain reaction. Results: Out of 65 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains , blaVIM gene was present in four females and one male, with an age of 42.9 ±18.1; two cases were isolated from the Oncology Department, and one case each was present in the Burn Unit, Surgery Ward, and Intensive Care Unit. The blaVIM gene was expressed in four stains, while the bla IMP gene was not expressed in any strain. Conclusions: The carbapenem resistance in our patients can be referred to as metallo-β-lactamases blaVIM type. The problem of metallo-β-lactamases and carbapenem resistance requires ongoing surveillance, strong preventive measures, and implementation of infection control policies and procedures. Also, routine diagnostic laboratory methods should be performed, and synthesis of antimicrobial products with new effecting mechanism should be implemented in hospitals.","PeriodicalId":169652,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Medical Science - Civilization Diseases","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122394916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
