Quinine and Artemether in the Treatment of Severe Malaria in Children
ISBN: 9783838392059 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether artemether was a comparable alternative to quinine in the treatment of severe malaria in Nigerian children. We conducted a randomized prospective study comparing quinine and artemether therapies in 90 Nigerian children with severe malaria. Mortality was lower in quinine group (13.0 %) than artemether (15.9 %), Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.446 (95 % Confidence Interval (CI), 0.124 to 1.603, p = 0.249 ). The parasitaemia clearance on day 3 by quinine and artemether was 96.8 and 99.0 % (p = 0.422), respectively, while on day 14 it was 100 % ...

Ghrelin in Bariatric Surgery
ISBN: 9783838361604 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ghrelin connects stomach and brain; secreted mainly by stomach fundus, acts on the hypothalamus stimulating appetite. Plasma levels are inversely related to BMI and nutritional status and show a sharp post-meal decrease. Bariatric surgery achieves weight loss in most of patients mainly reducing the volume of the stomach. However, some of the consequences of surgery, such as reduced appetite or increased satiety, cannot be explained only by the gastric restriction and may be related to changes in circulating ghrelin levels. The aim of this work was to explore if bariatric surgery, with...

Blood pressure and vascular cognitive impairment
ISBN: 9783838399379 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The importance of lowering blood pressure in hypertensive subjects is well known and studies suggest that lowering of blood pressure in patients who may already be in the normotensive range further reduces the risk of vascular events, particularly stroke. Epidemiological data have also shown that lower blood pressure and antihypertensive treatment may be associated with cognitive impairment once cerebrovascular disease is established. However, the relationship between hypertension and cerebrovascular disease is more complex than suggested by epidemiological or intervention studies and this...

Analyzing Myocardial Contractility Using Speckle Tracking
ISBN: 9783843370769 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Two-dimensional strain ( ) and strain rate imaging (SRI), are new ultrasound (US) indices for quantifying regional wall deformation. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) has already been shown to complement established parameters in evaluating early systolic and diastolic performance. However, the widespread use of this methodology remains limited due to the fact that Doppler-derived velocity and deformation data are one-dimensional, resulting in an angle -dependency of the measurements. Speckle tracking is a novel method of assessing regional as well as global "contractility." This method overcomes...

Cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are two major causes of hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases, Intra-arterial cerebral angiography is always the definitive diagnostic test in cerebral aneurysm however high resolution CT & CTA can discover small cerebral aneurysms that conventional angiography fails to reveal, also MRI & MRA are very useful in diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms. On the other hand, Cerebral angiography is the method of choice for the diagnosis of cerebral AVMs while advanced post processing techniques of 3D CTA and MRA studies can be used to highlight...
