Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test: Background, Applicability and Interpretation.

Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) has been gaining importance as a method of functional assessment in Brazil and worldwide. In its most frequent applications, CPET consists in applying a gradually increasing intensity exercise until exhaustion or until the appearance of limiting symptoms and/or signs. The following parameters are measured: ventilation; oxygen consumption (VO2); carbon dioxide production (VCO2); and the other variables of conventional exercise testing. In addition, in specific situations, pulse oximetry and flow-volume loops during and after exertion are measured. The CPET p

Six fatal cases of classical rabies virus without biting incidents, Iran 1990-2010.

BACKGROUND: Rabies is an endemic fatal zoonotic disease, commonly transmitted to humans through contact (bites and scratches) with infected animals. OBJECTIVES: During the years 1990-2010, six patients with the clinical symptoms of rabies (fever, tinnitus, buzzing, delirium and hydrophobia), with no history of a bite, were diagnosed by physicians in Iran. To obtain laboratory confirmation of rabies infection, different clinical specimens from each patient were sent to the World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Center for Reference and Research on Rabies, Pasteur Institute of Iran.

Sustained high coverage of insecticide-treated bednets through combined Catch-up and Keep-up strategies.

BACKGROUND: Mass, free distribution (Catch-up) of insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) during measles vaccination campaigns achieves immediate, high and equitable coverage for both ITNs and measles vaccine. Maintaining high coverage over time requires long-term, routine access to new nets (Keep-up). In many settings, only one approach--either campaign or routine delivery--has been available and have been seen as competing methods. Relying only on campaigns achieves high coverage at the cost of lack of later access. Relying solely on routine coverage builds a delivery infrastructure but may lead

The relevance of ethnic monitoring in the experience of Haringey Healthcare NHS trust community family planning clinics.

Microbicides-emerging essential pillars of comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention.

A quarter century old and still going strong, the HIV/AIDS pandemic is already the deadliest and longest lasting plague in mankind's recorded history. Reportedly among the weakest of the viruses, HIV's survival instincts have relied on extreme adaptability at the molecular and virologic levels on its part. In addition, it has preyed on certain prevalent weaknesses on the part of its host (human society) - extreme poverty; gender bias; lack of education and high prevalence of STIs- to prolong its lethal grip on humanity for as long as possible. This astounding adaptability is evident by the tre

Заболеваемость медленно расширяющимися лизами у пациентов с множественным склерозом: систематический обзор и мета-анализ.

Хронические активные повреждения (CAL) отражают хроническое воспаление при множественном склерозе (MS). Медленно расширяющиеся повреждения (SELs) представляют собой КАЛ, выявленные на обычных МРТ в результате линейного концентрического расширения с течением времени, а парамагнитные повреждения обода (PRLs) - КАЛ, характеризующиеся парамагнитным ободом на чувствительных МRI. Вместе с тем остается неясным вопрос о распространенности СЭЛ и их совпадении с СПР. Цели этого исследования заключались в том, чтобы:1) оценить долю SEL среди всех повреждений Т2 и долю пациентов, имеющих по крайней мере 1

[Exposure characteristics and health risk assessment of 97 typical chemical pollutants in human serum].

Rapid industrial and agricultural developments in China have led to the wide use and discharge of chemical products and pesticides, resulting in extensive residues in environmental media. These residues can enter the human body through various pathways, leading to high exposure risks and health hazards. Because the human body is exposed to a variety of chemical pollutants, accurately quantifying the exposure levels of these pollutants in the human body and evaluating their health risks are of great importance. In this study, the serum concentrations of 97 typical chemical pollutants of 60 adul…

Prevalence, predictors of low birth weight and its association with maternal iron status using serum ferritin concentration in rural Eastern Ethiopia: a prospective cohort study.

INTRODUCTION: Low birth weight (LBW) is one of the major predictors of perinatal survival, infant morbidity, and mortality, as well as the risk of developmental disabilities and illnesses in future lives. The effect of the nutritional status of pregnant women on birth outcomes is becoming a common research agenda, but evidence on the level of low birth weight (LBW) and its association with prenatal iron status in Ethiopia, particularly among rural residents, is limited. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence, predictors of LBW, and its association with maternal iron status using serum

BACKGROUND:: In the Systolic Heart Failure Treatment With the If Inhibitor Ivabradine Trial (SHIFT), heart rate (HR) reduction with ivabradine was associated with improved survival and reduced hospitalizations in patients with heart failure (HF). The mechanisms by which elevated HR increases mortality are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE:: To assess the relationship of baseline HR with clinical, neurohormonal and cardiac sympathetic activity in patients with chronic HF and elevated HR. METHOD:: Patients with chronic HF who were in sinus rhythm and had resting HR>70 bpm despite optimal medical

[Quantitative Cardiotocography--what does it look like and what can we expect].

BACKGROUND: [corrected] Cardiotocography (CTG) seems to be a non-reliable, expensive but nevertheless practical method for fetal surveillance. Moreover, its diagnostic value is dependent on a long-standing experience of the obstetrician (midwife). It is difficult to define exact diagnostic criteria since nearly all CTG phenomena are lacking precise qualification by the naked eye. Therefore, the idea must be born in mind to analyze fetal heart frequency (FHF) by computer, first off-line then on-line, in order to evaluate its true diagnostic power objectively. METHODS: The FHF of 583 deliveries
