Background
African Americans with heart failure (HF) have the highest rates of depression among all ethnicities in the USA.Objectives
To compare the effects by race on depressive symptoms and topics discussed in the first clinic appointment after HF hospitalization.Methods
This study is a secondary analysis of data from a randomized clinical trial testing a patient group discussion of HF self-management with 93 Caucasians and 77 African Americans.Results
Reduction in depressive symptoms was significantly greater among African American patients within the intervention group (F = 3.99, p = .047) than controls. There were significant differences by race in four topics (dietitian referral, appointment date, help preparing discussion questions, and advice on worsening HF symptoms) concerning patient-physician discussions.Conclusion
The intervention showed greater effect in reducing depressive symptoms among African Americans than Caucasians. Preparing patients for discussions at physician appointments on diet, depressive symptoms, and HF symptoms is recommended. 相似文献2.

Background
Early heart failure (HF) symptoms are frequently unrecognized for reasons that are unclear. We explored symptom perception in patients with chronic HF.Methods
We enrolled 36 HF out-patients into a longitudinal sequential explanatory mixed methods study. We used objectively measured thoracic fluid accumulation and daily reports of signs and symptoms to evaluate accuracy of detected changes in fluid retention. Patterns of symptom interpretation and response were explored in telephone interviews conducted every 2 weeks for 3-months.Results
In this sample, 44% had a mismatch between objective and subjective fluid retention; younger persons were more likely to have mismatch. In interviews, two patterns were identified: those able to interpret and respond appropriately to symptoms were higher in decision-making skill and the quality of social support received.Conclusion
Many HF patients were poor at interpreting and managing their symptoms. These results suggest a subgroup of patients to target for intervention. 相似文献3.

Background
More evidence is needed about factors that influence self-management behaviors in persons with heart failure.Objective
To test a correlational mediation model of the independent variables of health literacy, patient activation, and heart failure knowledge with heart failure self-management behaviors.Methods
The study used a prospective, cross-sectional, correlational design. Correlation and multiple regression were used to analyze associations among variables. Results: Of 151 participants, 57% were male, and mean age was 68 years. Heart failure self-management behaviors was positively correlated with patient activation level (p = .0008), but not with health literacy or heart failure knowledge.Conclusions
Persons with heart failure may better manage their condition if sufficiently activated, regardless of their level of health literacy or knowledge of heart failure disease and management processes. 相似文献4.

Background
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients experience multiple symptoms including dyspnea, anxiety, depression, and fatigue, which are highly correlated with each other. Together, those symptoms may contribute to impaired physical performance.Objectives
The purpose of this study was to examine interrelationships among dyspnea, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and fatigue as contributing factors to physical performance in COPD.Methods
This study used baseline data of 282 COPD patients from a longitudinal observational study to explore the relationship between depression, inflammation, and functional status. Data analyses included confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation modeling.Results
Dyspnea, anxiety and depression had direct effects on fatigue, and both dyspnea and anxiety had direct effects on physical performance. Higher levels of dyspnea were significantly associated with impaired physical performance whereas higher levels of anxiety were significantly associated with enhanced physical performance.Conclusion
Dyspnea was the strongest predictor of impaired physical performance in patients with COPD. 相似文献5.

Background
In cardiac surgical patients little is known about different phenotypes of delirium and how the symptoms fluctuate over time.Objectives
Evaluate risk factors, incidence, fluctuations, phenotypic characteristics and impact on patients' outcomes of delirium.Methods
Prospective longitudinal study. In postoperative intensive care unit 199 patient were assessed three-times a day through an adapted versions of the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist.Results
Delirium and subsyndromal delirium incidence were 30.7% and 31.2%, respectively. Delirium manifested mostly in the hypoactive form and showed a fluctuating trend for several days.Atrial fibrillation, benzodiazepine/opioids dosages, hearing impairment, extracorporeal circulation length, SAPS-II and mean arterial pressure were independent predictors for delirium. Delirium was a statistically significant predictor of chemical/physical restraint use and hospital length of stay.Conclusions
Given the fluctuating and phenotypic characteristics, delirium screening should be a systematic/intentional activity. Multidisciplinary prevention strategies should be implemented to identify and treat the modifiable risk factors. 相似文献7.

Background
Clinical and ethical issues persist in determining candidacy for advanced heart failure (HF) therapies in elderly patients. Selection takes many factors into account, including “activation” (engagement and ability to self-manage).Objective
To investigate effects of age, activation, and depression/anxiety on selection and 6-month survival of participants considered for therapy.Methods
Consecutive people referred for advanced HF therapy completed the Patient Activation Measure and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. We analyzed data from participants by age (≥65 vs. <65 years), stratified by approval for therapy.Results
Among 168 referred, 109 were approved, with no difference in activation between age groups (88% highly activated). Similarly, activation was not associated with age among those not approved. Activation was related to anxiety in older, approved participants, but not to depression.Conclusions
Concerns regarding reduced self-management in the elderly may not be valid. Age alone should not disqualify a candidate for advanced HF therapy. 相似文献8.

Background
The mechanisms contributing to the success of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) are poorly understood and may include assessment, monitoring and review activities enabled by continuity of care and this is investigated in this study.Objectives
To identify active assessment components of CR.Methods
A qualitative study using focus groups and individual interviews. CR staff (n = 39) were recruited via professional association email and network contacts and organised into major themes.Results
CR staff assessment strategies and timely actions undertaken provided a sophisticated post-discharge safety net for patients. Continuity of care enabled detection of adverse health indicators, of which medication issues were prominent. Interventions were timely and personalised and therefore likely to impact outcomes, but seldom documented or reported and thus invisible to audit.Conclusion
CR staff assessment and intervention activities provide an unrecognised safety net of activities enabled by continuity of care, potentially contributing to the effectiveness of CR. 相似文献9.

Background
Allergic myocardial infarction is a rare clinical entity.Objectives
Although a few number of case reports with severe anaphylactic reactions to recombinant human insulin have been reported, allergic myocardial infarction, known as Kounis Syndrome, has not been reported before.Methods
Herein, we report a 57-year-old woman with myocardial infarction, referred for urticarial rash, chest pain, and palpitations developed after the first subcutaneous dose of recombinant human insulin.Results
The patient treated with antihistamines and steroids and discharged from hospital in a good condition.Conclusions
Physicians should be aware of allergic myocardial infarction. The diagnosis of Kounis Syndrome should be entertained when allergic symptoms, electrocardiographic changes, and high cardiac enzymes accompany acute-onset chest pain. All patients admitted to the emergency department with chest pain and ST elevation on electrocardiography should be asked about allergic insults. 相似文献10.

Background
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is increasingly utilized in the management of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Providers who care for patients on VV-ECMO should be familiar with common circuit complications.Objectives
To provide an example of a common complication, circuit “chugging,” and suggest a management algorithm which aims to avoid excessive fluid administration to patients with ARDS.Methods
We use a clinical case to illustrate chugging and discuss potential management strategies.Results
Our patient received frequent boluses of albumin for intermittent circuit chugging contributing to a net positive fluid balance of roughly 6 liters 4 days after cannulation.Conclusions
Chugging is a common complication for patients on VV ECMO. A thoughtful approach to management may help limit potentially harmful fluid administration for patients with ARDS. 相似文献11.

Background
Idiopathic capillary leak syndrome (Clarkson's Disease) is a rare angiopathy with a heterogenous phenotype that may present as distributive shock refractory to resuscitative management.Objective
We report a case of idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome presenting as septic shock.Methods
Structured case report and review of the literature.Results
A 27-year old man admitted to our institution with coryzal symptoms rapidly deteriorated with presumed sepsis, leading to intensive care unit admission. Following further deterioration, Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome was considered and intravenous immunoglobulin administered, resulting in rapid improvement in the patient's clinical status.Conclusions
Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome is a rare and potentially life-threatening angiopathy that may present as, and should be considered in, refractory distributive shock. Administration of intravenous immunglobulin resulted in rapid recovery in this patient, and has been associated with positive outcomes in previous cases. 相似文献12.

Objectives
To test the effects of group-based Tai chi on health-status outcomes among older adults with hypertension.Background
A high-quality study exploring the effects of Tai chi on physical and psychosocial health for older adults with hypertension is needed in China. The long-term effects of group-based Tai chi in Chinese older adults with hypertension remain unclear.Methods
A randomized controlled trial was conducted. The group-based Tai chi training and practice were implemented in older adults over six-month.Results
The Tai chi (TC) group showed significantly lower blood pressure and body mass index than the usual care (UC) group. The TC group participants showed greater improvements in social support, quality of life, and reduction in depressive symptoms over a six-month intervention than UC group. TC group showed significant group-by-time interactions in these variables.Conclusion
Group-based Tai chi is effective in the enhancement of health-status outcomes for older Chinese adults with hypertension. 相似文献13.

Rationale
Consensus recommendations have been developed to guide exercise rehabilitation of mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit.Objective
This study aimed to investigate the safety of exercise rehabilitation of mechanically ventilated patients and evaluate the consensus recommendations.Methods
This was a prospective, single-centre, cohort study conducted in a specialist cardiothoracic intensive care unit of a tertiary, university affiliated hospital in Australia.Results
91 mechanically ventilated participants; 54 (59.3%) male; mean age of 56.52 (16.3) years; were studied with 809 occasions of service recorded. Ten (0.0182%) minor adverse events were recorded, with only one adverse event occurring when a patient was receiving moderate level of vasoactive support.Conclusions
The consensus recommendations are a useful tool in guiding safe exercise rehabilitation of mechanically ventilated patients. Our findings suggest that there is further scope to safely commence exercise rehabilitation in patients receiving vasoactive support. 相似文献14.

Background
There is no insomnia screening tool validated in intensive care unit (ICU) survivors.Objectives
To examine the validity of a single item from the PTSD checklist-Civilian version (PCL-C) to detect insomnia by Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)Methods
We performed a secondary analysis of data from a longitudinal investigation in 120 medical-surgical ICU survivors. At 1 year post-ICU, patients completed ISI, PCL-C, and Medical Short-Form 12 (SF-12) by telephone. A single PCL-C item rates difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep over the past month. We compared performance characteristics of this PCL-C item to ISI-defined insomnia (ISI ≥15).Results
A score of ≥3 on the PCL-C sleep item exhibited 91% sensitivity and 67% specificity for ISI-defined insomnia (ISI ≥ 15), and it demonstrated construct validity by correlation to related QOL indices.Conclusions
A single PCL-C sleep item score ≥ 3 is a reasonable screen to identify insomnia symptoms in ICU survivors. 相似文献15.

Objectives
To explore whether five variables of the health belief model were factors influencing self-care behaviors in young and middle-aged adults with hypertension.Background
The self-care behaviors of young and middle-aged adults with hypertension are suboptimal in China, and the factors associated with self-care behaviors have rarely been studied in the population.Methods
A questionnaire survey was adopted in the study. 382 eligible participants were recruited from two tertiary teaching hospitals using the convenience sampling.Results
The predictors of self-care behaviors in young and middle-aged adults with hypertension included age, complications related to hypertension, perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers and self-efficacy. Five aspects of health beliefs model accounted for 47.0% of total variance.Conclusions
The perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy were key factors affecting self-care behaviors in young and middle-aged adults with hypertension. A health education program targeting improving health beliefs for the population should be developed. 相似文献16.

Background
The rupture of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSoVA) is a rare disorder that affects the integrity of the cardiovascular system, disrupting its dynamics and resulting in a variety of manifestations. In this report, we discuss two cases of RSoVA that we encountered and review similar cases reported in the literature.Methods
literature review of reported cases of RSoVA in PubMed and Google Scholar.Results
A total of 223 cases were found and the final analysis included 225 cases, of which 69% occurred in males and the mean age was 38.9 years.Dyspnea was the most common presenting symptom and 76% of the cases described continuous murmur on examination. The right sinus was affected in 61% of the cases and the fistula connected to the right chambers of the heart 73% of the time.Conclusion
RSoVA is a rare condition that is difficult to diagnose, it should be considered in the right context, particularly in young patients with symptoms of heart failure and the presence of continuous murmur on cardiac examination. 相似文献17.

Background
Music listening has been shown to reduce anxiety, stress, and patient tolerance of procedures. Music may also have beneficial effects on inflammatory biomarkers in intensive care and post-operative patients, but the quality of evidence is not clear.Objectives
We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the effects of music on inflammatory biomarkers in intensive care, and post-operative patients.Methods
A comprehensive search of the literature was performed. After screening 1570 references, full text review of 26 studies was performed. Fourteen studies were selected for inclusion.Results
Seven studies showed a significant decrease in cortisol levels, but the level of evidence was low. Three studies had low risk of methodological bias, while 11 studies had high risk of bias.Conclusions
Music intervention may decrease cortisol levels, but other biomarkers remain unchanged. Given the low level of evidence, further research on music effects on inflammatory biomarkers is needed. 相似文献18.

Background
Patients with thoracic empyema have an increased risk of mortality, but their absolute rate of mortality depends on age and comorbidities.Objective
This study seeks to assess the predictive value of the Charlson Comorbidity Index score (CCIS), CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores for mortality risk in patients with empyema thoracis.Methods
From Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database we identified a total of 484 participants diagnosed with thoracic empyema. The CCIS, CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores were used to stratify mortality risk.Results
The incidence rate of mortality in the present study was 20.39 per 1000 person-months. A strong correlation was found between thoracic empyema and CCIS score.Conclusions
Our results show that patients with thoracic empyema have a significantly high incidence rate of mortality and that CCIS can be used as an indicator of risk for mortality. 相似文献19.

Background
Adequate strategies using either transthoracic (TTE) or transesophageal (TEE) echocardiography in patients receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an ongoing area of research.Objectives
As transthoracic point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) during cardiac arrest resuscitation might result in an increased duration of interruptions in the delivery of chest compressions; the use of TEE has been proposed as an alternative.Methods
No technical complications of either TTE nor TEE are so far being reported in the literature.Results
We report the case of a left intramural atrial hematoma complicating TEE procedure during cardiac arrest. This highlights a unique and to our knowledge, first-in-man, described complicating TEE procedure during CPR.Conclusions
Further research on the safety of transesophageal echo during CRP is mandatory and the question about any potential harm of particular interest. 相似文献20.
