The aim of the study was to assess the reactivity of the cutaneous microcirculation in patients with arterial hypertension (AH), taking into account the intake of anti-hypertensive drugs, using laser ...
The analysis included 44 patients with well-controlled AH, and 22 subjectively healthy volunteers aged 23 - 74 years, matched with the study group. During the study period, 22 patients in the study gr...
The study showed that the PORH flow parameters were not differ statistically significantly between the study and control groups (p> 0.05). Statistically significant differences were shown in the PORH ...
The pathogenesis of AH is multifactorial and depends, inter alia, on disturbances at the level of microcirculation. Proper treatment, especially with the use of ACEI, can improve the microcirculation ...
Severe sepsis and septic shock may impair microcirculatory perfusion and cause organ dysfunction. The aim of this pilot study was to assess a new microcirculation-guided resuscitation strategy in pati...
A microcirculation-guided treatment algorithm was developed and applied intraoperatively following restoration of systemic hemodynamics. Sublingual microcirculation was monitored with Sidestream DarkF...
Thirteen consecutive patients were included in the study. Microcirculation-guided resuscitation resulted in an increase of 0.49 mm...
The intraoperative use of microcirculation-guided resuscitation strategy may improve tissue perfusion and hemodynamic coherence in patients with septic shock....
Both type-1 and type-2 DM are related to an increased risk of cognitive impairment, neurovascular complications, and dementia. The primary triggers for complications are hyperglycemia and concomitant ...
Lipoprotein apheresis acutely increases coronary microvascular blood flow. However, measurement techniques are time-consuming, costly, and invasive. The ocular vasculature may be an appropriate surrog...
This study was performed at the Italian Reference Center for Inherited Dyslipidemias in Tuscany. The study sample was comprised of 22 patients with inherited hypercholesterolemia who were previously s...
After each lipoprotein apheresis treatment resulting in the reduction of plasma lipids, there was a concurrent increase in all optic disk microcirculatory parameters. The increase was statistically si...
A single lipoprotein apheresis session resulted in a statistically significant short-term increase in optic disk blood flow. These findings together with previous coronary microcirculation data sugges...
nailfold capillaroscopy (NCF) is a non-invasive imaging technique to seek peripheral microcirculation abnormalities in children and adults. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder caused b...
thirty-six HeFH patients were enrolled (13 males and 23 females. Mean age 8 ± 3 years; age range 3-13 years). They had increased levels of total cholesterol (237.9 ± 34.2 mg/dl) and LDL-C (154.2 ± 37....
In 69.4 % of HeFH children nailfold capillaries were tortuous (p < 0.00001 compared to healthy controls). In 41.6 % the number of capillaries was markedly reduced (<7 capillaries/mm). The mean number ...
NCF allows the identification of an early peripheral microvascular dysfunction in HeFH children which is similar to that already seen in atherosclerotic disease. Prompt identification of these capilla...
The aim of this study was to assess if thermography as an objective and non-invasive research tool is capable of identifying the changes in the surface temperature of the body as a response to muscle ...
The Vojta method of spontaneous motor assessment and the thermovision method of assessing the microcirculation properties of muscles were used for the evaluation....
In the study group, changes in the microcirculation parameters of the extensor muscles of the back occurred immediately after the therapy at the first examination....
The analysis featuring an objective assessment allows physiotherapists to diagnose local temperature changes based on the effect of microcirculation parameters in the musculofascial structures....
The research was conducted as a pilot study for a scientific project approved by the Commission for Scientific Research of the University of Health and Sport Sciences in Wroclaw No 24/2021. The study ...
To investigate morphological and microcirculation changes of optic nerve head (ONH) in simple high myopia (SHM) and pathologic myopia(PM) to evaluate and identify ONH changes in the development of PM....
A cross-sectional clinical study was used. Medical records from 193 right eyes of 193 patients with high myopia (HM) were included. Using the Topocon swept source optical coherence tomograph (SS-OCT) ...
Patients were divided into the SHM group (138 eyes) and the PM group (55 eyes). Paramters like older age, higher diopter and longer axial length (AL) of the PM were compared to SHM (t=-3.585, -8.808, ...
Compared with SHM, the PM patients were older, with higher diopter. Their AL and DFD were longer, the angle α was smaller, the tilt index was more extensive, the PPA area and radian were larger, PCT w...
The characteristics of heart failure (HF) with mildly reduced ejection fraction (EF) (HFmrEF) overlap with those of HF with reduced EF (HFrEF) and HF with preserved EF (HFpEF) and need to be further e...
We enrolled 119 patients with STEMI who had undergone speckle tracking imaging and myocardial contrast echocardiography during hospitalization from June 2016 to June 2021. They were classified into no...
HFmrEF was observed in 32 patients (26.9%), HFrEF in 17 (14.3%), and normal LVEF in 70 patients (58.8%). The mean global longitudinal strain (GLS) of all patients was - 11.9 ± 3.8%. The GLS of HFmrEF ...
