Hypertension is one of the most important complications of erythropoietin (rHuEPO) therapy in dialysis patients. In this
study, the effect of two different dosage regiments of subcutaneous rHuEPO on blood pressure [BP] was evaluated in 20 anemic
children on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Patients were randomized to receive rHuEPO 50 U/kg, either once
a week (group 1, 50 U/kg per week) or three times a week (group 2, 150 U/kg per week). At the beginning of the study, 8 patients
in group 1 and 8 patients in group 2 were on antihypertensive therapy. In group 1, the hematocrit increased gradually and
significantly from 18.98%±1.79% to 30.1%±1.62% after 6 months, while in group 2 it rapidly increased from 19.53%±1.86% to
32.4%±1.11% after 3 months. A significant increase in the mean arterial BP was observed in group 2. Antihypertensive therapy
had to be increased in all of the 8 previously hypertensive patients and had to be initiated in 1 of the 2 originally normotensive
patients in the same group. None of the patients in group 1 required a change in antihypertensive medication. We conclude
that during treatment with rHuEPO pre-existing hypertension and the dose of rHuEPO are the most important risk factors for
the development or worsening of hypertension in children on CAPD, and gradual elevation of hematocrit by low-dose rHuEPO avoids
the development of severe hypertension.

Background
The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of physical examination findings and functional tests in adult acute wrist trauma patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) and to create a reliable and practical clinical decision rule for determining the necessity of radiography in wrist trauma.Methods
This prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary ED. Each patient was checked for 18 physical examination findings and functional tests. Patients with suspected fracture were enrolled consecutively. Antero-posterior and lateral wrist views were performed for each patient. All radiographical studies were interpreted by an orthopedic surgeon. The prevalence, sensitivity and specificity, negative and positive predictive values of each finding were calculated. A modeling for predicting fractures was created using computer.Results
207 patients were evaluated and 69 patients (33.3%) had fractures. The most common encounterd fracture site was distal radius (29.5%). The most sensitive examination finding was pain in dorsiflexion (95.7%) and the most specific finding was ecchymosis (97.8%). Wrist edema, deformity and pain aggravated by pronation were found to be strong predictors of fracture. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve at internal validation for a prediction model based on these three predictors was 0.88 (95% CI: 0.83-0,93). The overall sensitivity and specificity of this model were 94% (95% CI: 85-98%) and 51% (95% CI 43-60%) respectively. According to the model created in this study, 34% of acute blunt wrist trauma patients do not require any X-ray imaging.Conclusions
This triple modeling may be used as an effective decision rule for predicting all wrist fractures in the ED and in the disaster setting. 相似文献3.
The Oxidant-Antioxidant Balance in Mild Asthmatic Patients 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We investigated the oxidant-antioxidant balance and the effect of inhaled corticosteroids on this balance in mild stable asthmatics. Included in the study were 30 mild asthmatic patients (11 male, 19 female, mean age (year) ± SD: 35.1 ± 9.7) and 26 healthy adults (7 male, 19 female, mean age (year) ± SD: 40.8 ± 13.3). In all study groups, the peripheral venous blood samples were taken for plasma malonyldialdehyde (MDA), a parameter of lipid peroxidation caused by the oxidants, and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD), an antioxidant enzyme. The mean plasma MDA level was lower in the asthmatic group (5.7 ± 1.2 nmol/ml) than in the healthy group (6.3 ± 1.7 nmol/ml); and the mean erythrocyte SOD level was higher in asthmatic group (1086.4 ± 247.4 U/gHb) than in the healthy group (1028.0 ± 230.0 U/gHb). However, there were no significant differences in measurements of both plasma MDA levels and erythrocyte SOD enzyme activities between the groups (respectively, p = 0.1 and p = 0.4). When asthmatic patients were divided into subgroups as inhaled steroid user and no inhaled steroid user, no significant differences were observed in the measurements of either plasma MDA level or erythrocyte SOD enzyme activity between the mentioned subgroups. According to the results of our study, we can say that oxidant-antioxidant balance is not significantly affected in mild asthmatics or measurement of plasma level of MDA and erythrocyte SOD enzyme activity is not sensitive to the oxidant-antioxidant balance in mild asthmatics. 相似文献

The incidence of tuberculosis (TB) is increasing worldwide. Due to an impairment of cellular immunity, patients with chronic
renal failure are susceptible to reactivation of TB. Seventy patients were treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
(CAPD) in our pediatric nephrology department during the years 1989–1997. TB was diagnosed in 4 patients, representing 5.7%
of all CAPD patients in our department. One patient had extrapulmonary (TB osteomyelitis) and the others had pulmonary TB.
All patients were treated with antituberculous drugs.Two patients with pulmonary TB were cured. Symptoms improved in the other
2 patients but they died at home for unknown reasons. We recommend that all children in regions of high prevalence of TB should
be investigated for TB, especially if they have a cough or fever of unknown etiology.

INTRODUCTION: Oxidant/antioxidant interactions are known to be important processes in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We aimed to evaluate the effects of corticosteroids (CS), and Nacetylcysteine (NAC) on plasma oxidant/antioxidant levels in patients with COPD. METHODS: This study utilised a single-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-group methodology. We enrolled 58 patients with stable COPD and 30 healthy controls with similar demographic profiles. The patients with COPD were randomly divided into three treatment groups. Group 1 received basal treatment (regular ipratropium bromide and beta-2 agonist as needed), placebo CS and placebo NAC. In addition to basal treatment, group 2 received oral CS (methylprednisolone 40 mg/day) and placebo NAC. Group 3 received basal treatment plus NAC (600 mg/day) and placebo CS. Each group received treatment for 15 days. We measured plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) at the start and the end of study. RESULTS: Post-treatment plasma MDA levels were significantly lowered only in group 2 (P=0.004). No significant differences were found with respect to erythrocyte SOD levels. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that oral CS, by aiding the oxidant/antioxidant system, may offer a new therapeutic option in COPD treatment. 相似文献

A 10-year-old boy on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis had low-grade fever, pain and tenderness of the right shoulder; he had no history of infection or exposure to tuberculosis. The underlying granulomatous infection was diagnosed by histological examination of bone and the polymerase chain reaction with primer sequences specific forMycobacterium tuberculosis. Special stains and cultures were negative. The initiation of antituberculous therapy was followed by a sharp improvement in the fever, malaise and shoulder pain within several weeks. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis is common in patients with chronic renal failure on dialysis and the diagnosis is difficult. The clinician must recognise the high and early mortality rate in order to initiate an aggressive diagnostic approach and early therapy. 相似文献

AimThis study used a randomized controlled trial design and was carried out to examine the effect of education on diabetes self-management and self-efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes.MethodsThe study was carried out between July 2016–March 2017. Data were collected using information form, Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ), self-efficacy scale for patients with type 2 diabetes (DSS).The individuals in the experimental group were given education. Both groups were reminded about the control time of their metabolic values on the phone in the 3rd and 6th months.ResultsThe average age of the individuals was 59.91 ± 8.93 (n = 78), 62.8% (n = 49) were female, 92.3% (n = 72), were married, 42.3% (n = 33) were high school graduates and their diabetes duration was 7.05 ± 3.9. There was a statistically significant difference in the 6th month metabolic values in the experimental group compared to the control group. When diabetes self-management and self-efficacy were examined, a statistically significant difference was found in the experimental group compared to the control group at 3rd and 6th months (p < 0.05, p < 0.01).ConclusionIn this study, a significant increase in diabetes self-management and self-efficacy and a significant decrease in metabolic values were observed as a result of education and phone reminders given to individuals with type 2 diabetes. 相似文献
