Remote intracerebral hemorrhage after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

Intracerebral hemorrhage is the most important complication after intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke.It often occurs inside the infarct focus,and a considerable proportion occurs outside the infarct focus (i.e.remote intracerebral hemorrhage).Remote intracerebral hemorrhage has different risk factors,pathophysiological mechanisms and prognosis from intralesional hemorrhage.In recent years,more and more research has begun to focus on remote intracerebral hemorrhage.This article reviews the diagnostic typing,clinical features,risk factors and potential pathophysiological mechanisms of remote intracerebral hemorrhage after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke.

Fatores de risco para deiscência de ferida cirúrgica em receptores de transplante renal / Risk factors for wound dehiscence in kidney transplant recipients

Introdução: As complicações cirúrgicas após o transplante renal são a principal causa de morbidade no período pós-operatório. A deiscência da ferida cirúrgica (FC) aumenta o tempo e o número de internações hospitalares e determina pior evolução a longo prazo do transplante renal. Método: Estudo prospectivo de 582 transplantes renais consecutivos realizados no período de 20/JAN/2005 a 20/DEZ/2005, no Hospital do Rim e Hipertensão. Os pacientes foram acompanhados por 16 a 24 dias no período pós-operatório, para determinar a incidência de deiscência da ferida cirúrgica e o risco atribuído aos seguintes fatores de risco para sua ocorrência: idade do receptor, índice de massa corporal, circunferência abdominal, tipo de doador, tempo de utilização de cateter vesical, diabetes mellitus pré-transplante, tempo de cirurgia, tipo de anastomose ureterovesical e tipo de imunossupressão (análise de regressão logística). Resultados. A incidência de deiscência da FC no período de internação hosar após o transplante foi de 11,6%. O modelo de regressão logística múltipla mostrou que os fatores de risco independentes para o desenvolvimento de deiscência da FC foram a idade do receptor superior a 42 anos (OR 2,7, p<0,05), a presença de diabetes mellitus pré-transplante (OR 2,3, p<0,05), a utilização de rins de doadores falecidos 9OR 2,2, p<0,05) e a utilização de sirolimo nos protocolos imunossupressores (OR 2,9, p<0,05). Conclusões. A incidência de deiscência da FC é elevada após o transplante renal e decorre da presença de fatores de risco prevalentes entre os receptores de transplante renal, sendo o uso de sirolimo o que apresenta o maior risco relativo (OR 2,9, p<0,05).

Introduction: Surgical complications after kidney transplantation are the major cause of morbidity in the postoperative period. The surgical wound dehiscence (HR) increases the time and number of hospitalizations and a poorer long-term outcome of renal transplantation. Method: Prospective study of 582 consecutive kidney transplants performed between the 20/JAN/2005 20/DEZ/2005 in Kidney and Hypertension Hospital. Patients were followed for 16 to 24 days post-operatively to determine the incidence of wound dehiscence and surgical risk attributed to the following risk factors for its occurrence: recipient age, body mass index, waist circumference, type of donor, time of use of bladder catheter, pre-transplant diabetes mellitus, duration of surgery, type of ureterovesical anastomosis and type of immunosuppression (logistic regression analysis). Results. The incidence of FC dehiscence hosar during hospitalization after transplantation was 11.6%. The multiple logistic regression model showed that independent risk factors for the development of FC dehiscence were recipient age above 42 years (OR 2.7, p <0.05), presence of diabetes mellitus pre-transplant (OR 2.3, p <0.05), the use of kidneys from deceased donors 9OR 2.2, p <0.05) and the use of sirolimus in immunosuppressive protocols (OR 2.9, p <0.05) . Conclusions. The incidence of FC dehiscence is high after renal transplantation and results from the presence of risk factors prevalent among renal transplant recipients, and the use of sirolimus that has the highest relative risk (OR 2.9, p <0, 05).

Correlations between Weight, Body Mass Index(BMI) and Risk Factors of Coronary Artery Disease in Men and Women in their Forties and Fifties / 간호학회지

This study was done to examine the correlations between weight, BMI and risk factors of coronary heart disease in men and women in their forties and fifties. The subjects were 412 adults, who had regular health examinations between January and December of 1996 at S-Hospital in Seoul. The data were analyzed using ANOVA, Scheffe test, and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results are as follows : 1. The men between 50 and 59 years of age had higher levels for BMI, weight, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting blood sugar, plasminogen activator-1, and hemoglobin A1C than the group of women in their forties. Yet, HDL-cholesterol was lower than in the former group. 2. In the group of men in their forties, weight was significantly correlated to diastolic blood pressure(r=.22), LDL-cholesterol(r=.20), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(r=.35) HDL-cholesterol(r=-.19). Their BMI was significantly corrected to systolic blood pressure(r=.27), diastolic blood pressure(r=.33), total cholesterol(r=.23), LDL-cholesterol(r=.26), plasminogen activator-1(r=.36) and HDL-cholesterol(r=-.25). 3. As for the group of women in their forties weight was significantly correlated to systolic blood pressure(r=.20), diastolic blood pressure(r=.22), triglyceride(r=.32), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(r=.30) and HDL-cholesterol(r=-.37). Their BMI was significantly correlated to diastolic blood pressure(r=.25) triglyceride(r=.47), plasminogen activator-1(r=.35), fibrinogen(r=.27) and HDL-cholesterol(r=-.47). 4. In the group of men in their fifties, weight was significantly correlated to total cholesterol(r=.32), LDL-cholesterol(r=.29), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(r=.26). Their BMI was significantly correlated to systolic blood pressure(r=.24), diastolic blood pressure(r=.22), total cholesterol(r=.34), LDL-cholesterol(r=.32), and plasminogen activator-1(r=.25). 5. In the group of women in their fifties, weight was significantly correlated to diastolic blood pressure(r=.33), total cholesterol(r=.21), LDL-cholesterol(r=.20), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(r=.43) and HDL-cholesterol(r=-.21). Their BMI was significantly corrected to systolic blood pressure(r=.25), diastolic blood pressure(r=.40), total cholesterol(r=.24), LDL-cholesterol(r=.24), triglyceride(r=.22), and HDL-cholesterol(r=-.30). The above findings indicate that the BMI was more predictive than weight as a risk factor for coronary artery disease for men and women in their forties and fifties.
