Background and Objectives: Diabetes is a chronic and metabolic disease, considered as an important public health problem. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of podiatric pathology ...
Background
Serum phosphate is a key parameter in the management of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). The timing of phosphate measurement is not standardized in the current guidelines. ...
Background: External validations and comparisons of prognostic models or scores are a prerequisite for their use in routine clinical care but are lacking in most medical fields including chronic obstructive ...
When developing prediction models for application in clinical practice, health practitioners usually categorise clinical variables that are continuous in nature. Although categorisation is not regarded ...
This study aimed to identify simple rules for allocating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients to clinical phenotypes identified by cluster analyses.
Data from 2409 COPD patients of ...
The Cox proportionalhazards model is the most widely used survival predictionmodel for analysing time-to-event data. To measure the discrimination ability of a survival model the concordance probability ...
... of vasoactive intestinal peptides (VIP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP).
Patients and methods: Patients with chronic migraine (CM) were asked about the presence – during migraine attacks – ...
Phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca) and PTH are the main serum biochemical parameters of bone and mineral metabolism used for the current management of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorders (CKD-MBD). ...
... 130 chronic migraine (CM) and 53 episodic migraine (EM) patients. Transcranial Doppler with agitated saline injection was used to evaluate the presence and degree of PFO. PFO was judged to be present if ...
... system in chronic migraine (CM) in a case-control study.
Methods: Women older than 17 and diagnosed as CM were recruited. Healthy women with no headache history and women with episodic migraine (EM) served ...
Objectives: To analyze the survival of treatment lines with different biologics in a cohort of patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (AP), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and ...
Objectives: To analyze the reasons for discontinuation the biological treatment in a cohort of patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and ...
Objectives: Dientamoeba fragilis is a pathogenic protozoan of the human gastrointestinal tract with a worldwide distribution, which has emerged as an important and misdiagnosed cause of chronic gastrointestinal ...
Several composite markers have been proposed for risk assessment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, choice of parameters and score complexity restrict clinical applicability. Our ...
Background
There is no universal consensus on the best staging system for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although documents (eg, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease ...
Abnormalities in serum phosphorus, calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) have been associated with poor survival in haemodialysis patients. This COSMOS (Current management Of Secondary hyperparathyroidism: ...
BACKGROUND
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is thought to result from an accelerated decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) over time. Yet it is possible that a normal decline ...
OnabotulinumtoxinA (onabotA) has shown efficacy in chronic migraine (CM). Its mechanism of action, however, remains obscure. We have analysed whether treatment with onabotA is able to induce changes in ...
Background: Excluding the tropics, exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are more frequent in winter. However, studies that directly relate hospitalizations for exacerbation of ...
