BACKGROUND |
Nutrition affects rehabilitation through its influence on physical and mental functioning, although little attention has been paid to effects on rehabilitation outcomes. The present study aimed to describe nutritional status and food consumption in stroke patients within 2 weeks of hospital admission and before dischar... |
METHODS |
One hundred patients from a consecutive cohort admitted to a metropolitan hospital with acute stroke were recruited and assessed by a single researcher, with 38 reassessed at discharge. Nutritional status was assessed using Mini-Nutritional Assessment and anthropometric indices and dietary intake was assessed by 1-day ... |
RESULTS |
Few (n = 9; 10%) consumed ≥100% of the estimated average requirement (EAR) for energy within 2 weeks of admission and 13 (33%) had energy intakes <50% of EAR before discharge. A small but increasing proportion (7% at admission, 13% at discharge) were identified as being malnourished across the inpatient stay. Younger a... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Given a general finding of nutritional deterioration identified for these patients, as well as the identification of energy intake as a modifiable influence on the extent and rate of recovery, there is clearly scope for the multidisciplinary development of nutritional support for stroke patients to improve rehabilitati... |

OBJECTIVES |
In experimental animal models, exogenous aldosterone excess has been linked to the progression of renal disease. However, the evidence of an increased risk of renal damage in patients affected by primary aldosteronism remains controversial. We aimed at evaluating the association between primary aldosteronism and renal ... |
METHODS |
We performed a quantitative review of studies evaluating parameters of renal function in patients affected by primary aldosteronism compared with hypertensive patients without primary aldosteronism and in patients affected by primary aldosteronism before and after treatment. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochran... |
RESULTS |
Forty-six studies including 6056 patients with primary aldosteronism and 9733 patients affected by arterial hypertension without primary aldosteronism were included. After 8.5 years from hypertension diagnosis, patients with primary aldosteronism had an increased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) compared wit... |
CONCLUSION |
Patients affected by primary aldosteronism, compared with patients affected by arterial hypertension without primary aldosteronism, display a more pronounced target organ damage, which can be mitigated by the specific treatment.[Short-stay units depending on Internal Medicine]. |
BACKGROUND |
Wetry to establish the utility that a Short Stay Unit depending on Internal Medicine has for a third level hospital. This unit manages the patients under the "appropriate stay" concept. |
METHODS |
Several clinical and epidemic variables and sanitary indicators were studied in 867 patients. Cost was measured as the origin by average stays, explorations and readmission. Effectiveness was considered as the percentage of discharges that stay in the hospital for three days or less. |
RESULTS |
The average age of the patients was 65.05 years. 55% were males. 82.24% had any previous disease. The most common diagnosis (ICD-9) were respiratory diseases, nervous system diseases and digestive diseases. The average stay of the patients was 57 hours, 2,259 explorations were ordered, it supposes an average of 0.328 u... |
CONCLUSIONS |
We got hay 62.4% of the patients had a stay of 2,375 days in the hospital, With a reasonably low cost in readmissions and explorations. However it wasn't possible to establish which patient coming to the Emergency Service is appropriate for this Short Stay Unit.Immunomodulatory Efficacy of Phyllanthus Emblica and Costu... |
