As controls, 262 consecutive STEMI patie

[Retinal detachment after perforating injuries of the eye. I. Analysis of anamnestic data related to the injury, analysis of deficiencies in the primary care of the eye injury and principles of prevention of post-traumatic retinal detachment].

In 1977-1987 the authors operated by the cryosurgical method 69 patients on account of detachment of the retina. The detachment occurred in 37 patients after simple perforation of the eye and in 32 patients after perforation with a foreign intraocular body. In all patients the perforation penetrated as far as the vitreous body. In the first part of the paper the authors analyze in detail anamnestic data related to the injury: age, mechanism of injury, rapidity and method of surgical treatment, chemical nature of foreign body and its size, rapidity and method of extraction of the foreign body.

[Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in prevention of sudden cardiac death in Poland - opinion paper endorsed by the Polish Cardiac Society Working Group on Heart Rhythm].

In the past years, cardiovascular mortality has decreased but despite these cardiovascular diseases are responsible for millions of deaths every year in the world and approximately 25% of which are sudden cardiac death (SCD). Implantable defibrillators (ICD) is proven therapy used in primary and secondary SCD prevention. Currently majority of devices use transvenous leads inserted predominantly into the right heart for both pacing and defibrillation. On the other hand, ICD may cause complica-tions, including inappropriate shocks, device-related infection and lead failure. Problems with transve

[Is it time for mass screening for celiac disease?].

Celiac disease is a common condition with a variable presentation, and is frequently not recognized by the physician. Although a gluten-free diet has a positive effect on the health of the celiac patient, prevention would be even more beneficial. In this article we outline the different possibilities for primary and secondary prevention of celiac disease. Results of recent prospective studies show that at this moment primary prevention is not possible, but secondary preventive strategies can be applied to decrease the morbidity associated with this disease; mass screening is one option. Result…

Effectiveness of a Smartphone App (MINISTOP 2.0) integrated in primary child health care to promote healthy diet and physical activity behaviors and prevent obesity in preschool-aged children: randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Childhood overweight and obesity is a public health priority. We have previously reported the efficacy of a parent-oriented mobile health (mHealth) app-based intervention (MINISTOP 1.0) which showed improvements in healthy lifestyle behaviors. However, the effectiveness of the MINISTOP app in real-world conditions needs to be established. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the real-world effectiveness of a 6-month mHealth intervention (MINISTOP 2.0 app) on children's intake of fruits, vegetables, sweet and savory treats, sweet drinks, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and screen time (p

Nasal molding prevents relapse of nasal deformity after primary rhinoplasty in patients with unilateral complete cleft lip: An outcomes-based comparative study of palatal plate alone versus nasoalveolar molding.

OBJECTIVES: In recent years, many studies have reported that the presurgical nasoalveolar molding method improves the nose morphology; however, the reason for its effectiveness after surgery has never been understood. We evaluated the effect of nasoalveolar molding by comparing it with a passive orthopedic method without a nasal stent and focusing on the nostril morphology after primary cheiloplasty using various measurement methods. We then analyzed the essential factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The patients involved were 31 infants with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate treated with p

Tooth extractions in patients under antiresorptive therapy for osteoporosis: Primary closure of the extraction socket with a mucoperiosteal flap versus application of platelet-rich fibrin for the prevention of antiresorptive agent-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare primary closure of the extraction socket to application of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) without subsequent primary closure for the prevention of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in patients administered antiresorptive therapy for osteoporosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Primary closure of the extraction socket was performed with a mucoperiosteal flap and two-layer suturing or PRF was inserted into the extraction socket without subsequent primary closure. In all patients, intra- and postoperative complications as well as the overall treatment outcome were

Heart Failure Prevention: Evidence Generation, Trial Design, and Regulatory Pathways.

Heart failure (HF) is a public health challenge with high morbidity and mortality risk, and societal economic costs. The lifetime risk of developing HF stands at 1 in 4. A significant portion of the population already is in precursor stages, with roughly two-thirds of adults in the United States classified as either stage A (at risk) or stage B (pre-HF). Despite advances in drugs and device-based therapies, once HF develops, these patients remain at an unacceptably high risk for mortality, morbidity, and adverse health status, underscoring the need for focus on primary prevention of HF. The pr…

Report of the Primary Outcomes for Gait Mechanics in Men of the ACL-SPORTS Trial: Secondary Prevention With and Without Perturbation Training Does Not Restore Gait Symmetry in Men 1 or 2 Years After ACL Reconstruction.

BACKGROUND: Movement asymmetries during walking are common after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction and may influence the early development of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Preoperative neuromuscular training (like perturbation training, which is neuromuscular training requiring selective muscle activation in response to surface perturbations) improves gait asymmetries and functional outcomes among people who are ACL-deficient, but the effect of postoperative perturbation training on gait mechanics after ACL reconstruction is unknown. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: Among men unde
