Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is defined as the presence of air in the mediastinum in the absence of traumatic or iatrogenic cause. Diagnosis is based on chest X-ray. Other paraclinical examinations, such as chest tomodensitometry or bronchial or gastrointestinal endoscopy, are sometimes necessary. Outcome is most often favorable. We report 27 cases of spontaneous pneumomediastinum whose data were collected in the Department of Respiratory Diseases at the Ibn Rochd University Hospital in Casablanca between 2008 and 2023. The study involved 19 men and eight women, with an average age of 37 years. Clinical symptomatology was dominated by retrosternal chest pain. The circumstances of onset of pneumomediastinum were coughing spell in 11 cases, hookah consumption in two cases and iterative vomiting in three cases, childbirth and exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) of bacterial origin in five cases. Outcome was favorable in all cases with spontaneous resorption of the pneumomediastinum with only one death. No recurrence occurred after a minimum follow-up period of 3 years.

Background: Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) is a major health problem leading to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Aims: To observe the clinico-demographic profiles and antibiotic consumption practices by community acquired pneumonia patients. Methods: This cross sectional, observational study conducted at the Department of Respiratory Medicine in National Institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital from May 2019 to September 2020. 87 patients of community acquired pneumonia patients were enrolled in this study. Results: A total number of 87 patients with community acquired pneumonia were selected and among them, majority patients were male 65(74.7%), male to female ratio was 2.9:1. The mean age was found 50.6±16.7 years with range from 18 to 85 years. Married patients were found 78(89.7%), 41(47.1%) patients completed secondary education level and 21(24.1%) patients were businessman.Smoker was found in 54(62.1%) cases. Regarding chief complaints, it was observed that all patients had fever, 86(98.9%) had cough, 65(74.7%) had chest pain, 57(65.5%) had dyspnoea, 7(8.0%) had haemoptysis and 6(6.9%) had confusion. Anaemia was found in 33(37.9%), cyanosis 6(6.9%), clubbing 2(2.3%). Mean pulse was 88.6±16.3 beats/min, mean systolic blood pressure 124.3±18.9 mmHg, mean diastolic blood pressure 76.0±11.3 mmHg and respiratory rate 21.1±4.7 breaths/min. Regarding knowledge about antibiotic use of the respondents, it was observed that majority 37(42.5%) respondents think that it is good to be able to buy antibiotics, without having to see a doctor. 63(72.4%) patients had history of previous antibiotic use, 47(54.0%) had history of non adherence to antibiotic, 42(46.0%) had history of self-medication, 24(27.6%) sharing of antibiotic with others, 21(24.1%) used of left over antibiotics and 25(28.7%). Conclusion: Fever is the most common symptom of community acquired pneumonia. Still there is misconception regarding use of antibiotics among patients. This study also suggests that self-medication is common in our patients. Non adherence to antibiotic therapy is also frequent in our patients.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a consolidated approach; however, there is no consensus on the number of ports leading to less postoperative pain. We compared early postoperative pain after uniportal and three-portal VATS lobectomy for early-stage NSCLC. In this randomized clinical trial, patients undergoing VATS lobectomy were randomly assigned to receive uniportal (U-VATS Group) or three-portal (T-VATS Group) VATS. The inclusion criteria were age ≤ 80 years and ASA < 4. The exclusion criteria were clinical T3, previous thoracic surgery, induction therapy, chest radiotherapy, connective tissue or vascular diseases, major organ failure, and analgesics or corticosteroids use. The postoperative analgesia protocol was based on NRS. Pain was measured as analgesic consumption; the secondary endpoints were intra- and postoperative complications, conversion rate, surgical time, dissected lymph nodes, hospital stay, and respiratory function. Out of 302 eligible patients, 120 were included; demographics were distributed homogeneously. The mean cumulative morphine consumption (CMC) in the U-VATS Group after 7 days was lower than in the T-VATS Group (77.4 mg vs. 90.1 mg, p = 0.003). Intraoperative variables and postoperative complications were comparable. The 30-day intercostal neuralgia rate was lower in the U-VATS Group, without reaching statistical significance. Patients undergoing U-VATS showed a lower analgesic consumption compared with the T-VATS Group; analgesic consumption was moderate in both groups.

Modern lifestyle and advanced technology have given life easier, but this has led to many diseases. In advanced lifestyle irregular eating habits, eating unhealthy foods and eating spicy fast food has become a fashion and alcohol consumption is increasing day by day. All of these factors lead to different disorders. Kamala is one among the diseases which are caused due to excessive intake of sour food, alcohol, unhealthy food and when a person with Panduroga continues intake of Pittakara Aahara then he may develop Kamala. According to modern science, Kamala can be correlated with Jaundice. Clinically the Jaundice is a sign of an ongoing disease process with common signs and symptoms like yellowish discolourations of the skin, mucous membranes, the eyes, urine etc. It is characterized by increase deposition of bile pigments in body fluids and tissues. It is perceptible only when the bilirubin level and its conjugates exceeds 1.5 mg/ 100ml plasma. Here is the case study of a patient who appeared to Parul Ayurved Hospital with the history of oedema over the bilateral lower limbs, heaviness in abdomen and chest region in the last 1 year, fever since 4-5 months and yellowish discolourations of eyes, nails and urine are present. In the present study, the patient was treated with Ayurvedic treatments i.e. Virechana Karma and Shamana Chikitsa.

Background: Bangladesh faces escalating air pollution due to urbanization, industrialization, deforestation, and rising energy consumption. This jeopardizes public health, leading to respiratory problems and heightened risks of infections, causing a surge in hospital admissions, deaths, and associated economic burdens. Method: This was a cross-sectional study to assess the level of knowledge and protective practices regarding air pollution among adult respiratory disease patients who attended the medicine OPD of the National Institute of Diseases of the Chest & Hospital (NIDCH) from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. Result: The mean age of the 361 respondents was 37.90±13.77 years and more than half (53.5%) of them were in the age group 21-40 years. About one-third (32.1%) received higher secondary and above education. Almost one-fourth (23.5%) of respondents’ income was between 15000, and personal monthly income was not applicable for more than (56.5%) of respondents. About three-fourths (73.7%) of patients were married, two-thirds (67.3%) belonged to a nuclear family and about half (54.6%) of participants belonged to a member of 1-4 persons. The majority (95.3%) of respondents were Muslim and about two-thirds (67.3%) belonged to the nuclear family. About two-thirds (67%) of patients had poor knowledge and one-third (33%) had average knowledge regarding air pollution. All the respondents had poor protective practices against air pollution. Conclusion: The study's insights will guide future efforts to raise awareness among adult respiratory patients about air pollution risks, respiratory health effects, and protective measures. Empowering these patients not only safeguards their health but also promotes environmental responsibility for cleaner air in the community.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This case control study was conducted between January to June 2010 to determine the relationship between substance abuse and multidrug- resistant tuberculosis. A total of 73 cases were selected purposively, from culture- positive multidrug- resistant tuberculosis patients admitted in the National Institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital, Dhaka and compared with 81 un-matched controls, recruited from the cured patients of pulmonary tuberculosis who attended several DOTS centers of Nagar Shastho Kendra under Urban Primary Health Care Project in Dhaka city. Data were collected by face to face interview and documents review, using a pre- tested structured questionnaire and a checklist. Multidrug- resistance was found to be associated with smoking status (÷2 = 11.76; p = 0.01) and panmasala use (÷2 = 8.28; p = 0.004). The study also revealed that alcohol consumption and other substance abuse such as jarda, sadapata, gul, snuff, heroine, cannabis, injectable drugs was not associated with the development of multidrug- resistant tuberculosis. Relationship between substance abuse and multidrug- resistant tuberculosis are more or less similar in the developing countries. Bangladesh is not out of this trend. The present study revealed the same fact, which warrants actions targeting specific factors. Further study is recommended to assess the magnitude and these factors related to the development of multidrug- resistant tuberculosis in different settings in our country.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially fatal contagious disease that can affect almost any part of the body but is mainly an infection of the lungs. It has been present in humans since antiquity. In the past, tuberculosis has been called consumption, because it seemed to consume people from within, with a bloody cough, fever, pallor, and long relentless wasting. In Egypt, TB constitutes the second most important public health problem after schistosomiasis. Although Egypt has relatively low levels of TB according to data from the World Health of Organization, 2005:66% of TB cases occur among the socially and economically productive age groups of 15 to 54 years. According to Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP), Egypt; tuberculosis control is carried out through 111 chest centers and 39 chest disease hospitals. Treatment failure accounts for 3%–5%of the treatment outcome of new smear positive cases and 13%–17% of retreated cases and this is due to non-compliance to treatment, defi cient health education to the patient, poor patient knowledge regarding the disease and diabetes mellitus as co-morbid. The incidence and prevalence of tuberculosis in Egypt has been declining due to increased efforts of the MOHP. Prevalence dropped from 88/100,000 population in 1990 to 24 in 2008, according to data from WHO.

Background. Pulmonary infection in the emergency ICUs increases patient morbidity, hospital stay, treatment costs, and the risk of related adverse events. Methods. This study included 695 patients admitted to our emergency ICU between December 2019 and March 2021. Medical records of emergency ICU patients were reviewed to collect their clinical data, including antibiotic use, history of tracheostomy, history of mechanical ventilation, presence or absence of underlying disease, history of smoking, alcohol consumption, age, gender, and history of shock. Bacterial cultures were performed. The incidence, main clinical features, main pathogens, and risk factors of pulmonary infection in emergency ICU were analyzed. Results. In this study, 69 of the 695 emergency ICU patients (9.93%) developed pulmonary infection. The main clinical features of patients with pulmonary infection included cough and expectoration (97.10%), shortness of breath and chest tightness (95.65%), leukocyte elevation (69.57%), confusion (31.88%), drowsiness (28.99%), persistent fever (27.54%), and nausea and vomiting (10.14%). The main pathogenic bacteria in those with pulmonary infection included Klebsiella pneumoniae (62.32%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (49.28%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (21.74%), Staphylococcus aureus (39.13%), Candida albicans (7.25%), Pneumococcus pneumoniae (15.95%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (24.64%), and lung diplococcus inflammatory (13.04%). Univariate analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the occurrence of pulmonary infection with regard to sex, smoking, and alcohol consumption, but there were significant differences with regard to age, basic disease, invasive surgery, and shock. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that age ≥ 80 years , invasive surgery, shock, and basic diseases ≥ 2 were important risk factors for pulmonary infection in emergency ICU patients. Conclusion. Considering the clinical features and risk factors for pulmonary infection in the emergency ICU, preventive and control measures are required to minimize its occurrence and ensure good outcomes.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Objectives We aimed to compare the effects of different aerobic exercise training (ET) programs on respiratory performance, exercise capacity, and quality of life in fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (f-ILD). Methods A case-control study where 31 patients with f-ILD diagnosis based on chest high-resolution computed tomography were recruited from Main Alexandria University hospital-Egypt. Ten patients were randomly assigned for only lower limbs (LL) endurance training program, and 10 patients for upper limbs, lower limbs, and breathing exercises (ULB) program for consecutive 18 sessions (3 sessions/week for 6 consecutive weeks). Eleven patients who refused to participate in the ET program were considered as control. All patients were subjected for St George’s respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ), 6-minute walk test (6-MWT), forced spirometry and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) before and after ET programs. Results Fibrosing non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and collagenic associated-ILD were the commonest pathologies among the ET groups (30% each) with mean age of 44.4±12.25 and 41.90±7.58 years for LL and ULB groups respectively and moderate-to-severe lung restriction. 6-MWT and SGRQ significantly improved after both ET programs (p<0.001). Peak oxygen consumption (VO2) improved significantly after both LL training (median of 22 (interquartile range (IQR) = 17.0–24.0) vs. 17.5 (IQR = 13.0–23.0) ml/kg/min, p = 0.032) and ULB training (median of 13.5 (IQR = 11.0–21.0) vs. 10.5 (IQR = 5.0–16.0) ml/kg/min, p = 0.018). Further, maximal work load and minute ventilation (VE) significantly improved after both types of ET training (p<0.05); however, neither ventilation equivalent (VE/VCO2) nor FVC% improved after ET (p = 0.052 and 0.259 respectively). There were no statistically significant important differences between LL and ULB training programs regarding 6-MWT, SGRQ or CPET parameters (p>0.05). Conclusions ET was associated with improvements in exercise capacity and quality of life in f-ILD patients irrespective of the type of ET program provided.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex is made up of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium africanum, and Mycobacterium microti. Humans are the only natural reservoir of M tuberculosis. Mycobacterium bovis is caused by consumption of unpasteurized milk products from an infected cow. Cattle-to-human transmission also occurs. Patients with tuberculosis (TB) usually present with fever; less commonly, pleuritic chest pain, retrosternal or interscapular pain. Physical examination findings are usually normal. Hilar adenopathy is typical, often resolving in 1 year or more. Disease manifestations of other mycobacterial infection are also reviewed.

This chapter includes a series of unusual cases from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Georgia, London, and Paris. A twenty-five-year-old Maine woman with the usual symptoms of pulmonary consumption developed postpartum chest pains and a swollen leg, was treated, and all symptoms resolved. A twenty-year-old physician from New Hampshire was subject to frequent and profuse hemoptysis, up to a pint of blood at a time. Besides frequent bloodletting to obviate plethora, he conceived of the idea of the efficacy of breast milk. Of every nursing woman whom he met, he solicited permission to draw her breasts. After a year of little or no other nourishment, except cow’s milk when he could not find a supply of breast milk, he had become nearly free from hemoptysis. He died at the age of fifty-seven. An 1822 case of chest surgery and rib-resection for infection in Augusta, Georgia, was reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Myocarditis is an uncommon cause for dilated cardiomyopathy that disproportionately affects children and young adults, leading to a substantial burden of disability and premature cardiovascular death. Until the last decade, the incidence and prevalence of myocarditis could only be estimated from case series drawn mostly from tertiary care medical centres. Recently, the Global Burden of Disease Study has used International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 codes from hospital dismissal databases worldwide to calculate estimates of the prevalence, years lived with disability, and death rates in a broader population. In contrast, pericarditis is a relatively common cause of chest pain that usually responds to anti-inflammatory treatment. However, pericarditis can lead to a disabling syndrome of chronic or recurrent chest pain, heart failure from pericardial constriction, and, rarely, death. This aim of this chapter is to summarize the current state of knowledge on the global burden of myocarditis and pericarditis.

Barker explains that the Medical Museum (Philadelphia) and the Medical Repository (New York City) were rare books in Maine that could not conveniently be purchased by young physicians. Because he was known to have an unusually good personal library, Barker was asked to excerpt some of the most extraordinary cases of consumption from those journals. For example, a twenty-year-old West Indian seaman died at New York Hospital with a diagnosis of phthisis pulmonalis manifested by extreme emaciation, cough, catarrh, and fever. On dissection the lungs showed no adhesions, no traces of organic lesions, and no inflammation. The physician was of the opinion that phthisis pulmonalis was “not always attended with tubercles and ulcers,” and that death was due to another cause. He suggested that in some cases the disease yielded to calomel, symptoms disappeared, but the patient still died.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In the entire world, about 200 million people are exposed to arsenic poisoning in groundwater. In Bihar, India, about 50 million people are drinking arsenic contaminated water. Humans are exposed to elevated levels of inorganic arsenic mainly through the consumption of arsenic contaminated groundwater as drinking water and food crops are irrigated with high-arsenic water resources. This has caused various health-related problems in the population like skin diseases, anemia, bronchitis, gastrointestinal problems, hormonal imbalance and cancer. According to recent study, cancer risk is associated with daily consumption of 2 litres of water with inorganic arsenic 50 μg/L has been estimated to be 1/100 denotes that elevated blood arsenic levels in population can lead to cause various diseases including cancer. Skin and several types of internal cancers, including, bladder, kidney, liver, gall bladder, lung, uterus, and prostate, have been found associated with arsenic ingestion. This hospital-based study also correlates the cause of cancer due to arsenic contamination.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of tomato juice supplements consumption on the lipid profile of women with dyslipidemia patients. The design of this study was a quasi-control experimental design with pre-post test. The subjects were sixty-two Kendal Hospital women employees, aged 35–50 years old, suffering from dyslipidemia but did not suffer from metabolic or degenerative diseases based on the examination of a specialist in internal medicine. Subjects were divided into two groups, group I (30 people) were given antioxidant supplements (336 g of tomatoes per day) for 21 days and group II (32 people) as control. The nutrition intake data was measured by the 24-hour food withdrawal method conducted for three consecutive days in three weeks of research calculated by the Nutrisurvey program. Data was analyzed with Kolmogorov Smirnov test, Pearson test and Mann Whitney test. There were significant relationships between energy intake, protein intake, fat intake, and carbohydrate intake with total cholesterol levels and triglyceride levels and there were also significant relationships between energy intake and fat intake with low density lipoprotein levels. It shows that there is a relationship between diet and dyslipidemia. There were significant differences in total cholesterol, low lipoprotein levels and triglycerides in treatment and control groups.

Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by contact with a source that is positive for both the HBV surface antigen and the “e” antigen of the virus. Hepatitis B is a silent disease and therefore the diagnosis is usually late, favoring the chronicity of diseases that affect the liver. The objective of this article is to present a case study of hepatitis B and its complications, and the nutritional interventions performed during hospitalization. This is an experience report of monitoring the treatment of a patient affected by hepatitis B and other diseases in the mandatory hospital experience in the discipline of diet therapy II, of the bachelor's degree in nutrition, held at the Hospitalar Foundation of Acre. The progression of liver disease has an impact on nutritional status because it is related to a decrease in energy and protein intake, affected by food restrictions and low-palatable diets, which directly interfere with food consumption. After the patient's follow-up period, it was not possible to observe evolution in his health status, it was possible to identify the progression of the disease through imaging, biochemical and physical exams.

Traditional fields in health delivery such as chronic diseases or independent aging are evolving to novel healthcare applications like intra-hospital ecosystems and Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). Furthermore, emerging trends in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and evolution of the Medical Devices (MDs) to Personal Health Devices (PHDs) led towards the interoperability of new health services. In this patient-centered context, the international ISO/IEEE11073 (X73) family of standards is proposed to provide device usability enhancements. In this chapter, the X73 technical features and the new transport technology profiles specifically designed for X73 are introduced to provide an updated framework for developing highly efficient portable and wearable MDs and PHDs. Moreover, these protocol guidelines and technology features are applied to vital signs monitoring, pointing out some potential advantages for adopting new use cases such as NICUs where design requirements like ergonomics, reliability, size, power consumption and signal transmission become strict implementation constraints.

Introduction: Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) is a genetic disease that presents neuromuscular manifestations and multisystemic clinical repercussions, such as cardiac and respiratory disorders, sleep disorders and impaired swallowing, among others. It is the most common muscular dystrophy in adults. Objectives: To determine the epidemiological profile of patients with DM1 treated at the Neuromuscular Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the Complexo Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Paraná (CHC-UFPR). Methods: A total of 27 individuals diagnosed with DM1, assisted at the Neuromuscular Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the CHC-UFPR, were evaluated between May 2021 and March 2022. For this purpose, their medical records with the clinical data were analyzed. Results: The sample consisted of 78% male subjects with mean age at onset of symptoms of 27.6 ± 10.8. The most frequent muscular manifestations were myotonia (100%), weakness of the distal muscles of the upper (96.3%) and lower (96.3%) limbs, myotonic facies (92.6%). The most common non-motor manifestations were excessive daytime sleepiness (74.1%), frontal baldness (66.7%), pharyngeal globus (62.9%), choking or coughing during and/or at the end of swallowing (62.9%), cataracts (59.2%), dysphagia (55.6%), chest pain (55.6%), cognitive impairment (44.4%), dyspnea (44.4%). Of the patients, 22.2% had a previous history of pneumonia. Conclusion: The DM1 patients in this study presented an epidemiological profile consistent with that described in the literature. Non-motor manifestations are common and should be investigated, since complications such as bronchopneumonia are important causes of mortality in these patients and may negatively impact the quality of life. Therefore, DM1 patients require multidisciplinary monitoring and evaluation.

Introduction: The pandemic caused by the new SARS-Cov2 coronavirus, raised concerns about the impact of COVID19 on patients with autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and the Neuromyelitis Optic Spectrum (ENMO), undergoing treatment with immunosuppressive, immunomodulatory and monoclonal antibodies. Objective: To analyze the clinical evolution of COVID19 in patients diagnosed with MS and ENMO. Methods: retrospective study including patients diagnosed with MS and ENMO at the demyelinating disease outpatient clinic at Hospital Santa Marcelina, who were diagnosed with COVID 19 from April 2020 to April 2021. Results: 27 patients were included, with a mean age of ± 41.74 years (21 - 63 years), four with ENMO (14.81%) and twenty-three (85.19%) with Multiple Sclerosis (91.3 % with Sending MS - Recurrent (RR), and 8.7% with Secondary MS - Progressive (SP)). No patient had an outbreak, and only one (3.7%) had a pseudo-outbreak, 21 patients (77.8%) had nasal / oropharyngeal swab with positive RT-PCR for SARS-Cov2, 02 patients had negative RT-PCR and positive IgG (7 , 4%), and 04 patients (14.8%) with RT-PCR and serology not performed (presumed diagnosis of COVID19). Twenty patients (74%) had mild symptoms of COVID19, two (7.5%) with moderate symptoms, and another five (18.5%) with severe symptoms (admitted to the ICU), none of whom died. Four patients (14.8%) had an altered chest tomography (ground-glass pattern). Seven patients (34%) had some clinical or psychiatric comorbidity. Conclusion: The manifestations and complications of COVID-19 in this group of patients were similar to those presented by the general population.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Introduction: Neurotuberculosis is the most serious form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The main clinical presentation is meningoencephalitis, which may be associated with tuberculomas. The detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by CSF in CSF is still a diagnostic challenge. Objectives: To report a clinical case of neurotuberculosis associated with intracranial tuberculoma with detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by CSF in CSF. Methods: Neurotuberculosis is the most serious form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The main clinical presentation is meningoencephalitis, which may be associated with tuberculomas. The detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by CSF in CSF is still a diagnostic challenge. Results: C. A. G., 45 years old, female, admitted to the hospital in January 2020, presenting holocranial, pulsatile headache, which had worsened for 5 days, with little response to analgesics, associated with an episode of tonic-clonic seizure crisis, without other clinical signs. Previous diagnosis of asthma, using continuously salbutamol and beclomethasone. Examinations were requested - BAAR search for positive sputum, rapid molecular sputum test revealing Mycobacterium tuberculosis, clear-looking CSF, detectable CRP for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, glucose 63, protein 56.3, total cytology 74 (35% neutrophils, 19% lymphocytes , 46% macrophages). The cranial tomography showed a nodular lesion in the corticosubcortical region of the left frontal lobe, with annular enhancement by means of contrast, measuring 3.9 x 3.9 cm, in addition to accentuated meningeal enhancement. Chest tomography showed hollowed-out lesions with thickened walls, with the appearance of a sprouting tree, predominating in the lower lobe of the right lung. The diagnoses of neurotuberculosis (cerebral tuberculoma and meningitis) and pulmonary tuberculosis were then established. Referred to the infectious disease referral hospital using RHZE associated with dexamethasone and phenytoin. After 48 hours of hospitalization, the patient evolved with confusion and mental disorientation, suspecting complex subentrant partial seizures with a confused post-ictal state. A new skull tomography was requested, which showed an expansive lesion with an ovoid aspect 4.5 x 3.3 cm with liquefied content and ring impregnation by means of contrast in the upper left frontal region with mass effect and significant perilesional edema. Electroencephalogram showed disorganized base activity, periodically, sometimes with three-phase morphology, sometimes acute, in both hemispheres, with greater projection to the left and epileptiform activity also in the frontal- temporal region, bilaterally and independently. After therapeutic adjustment, the patient remained clinically stable and was discharged from the hospital with outpatient followup due to infectious diseases and neurology. Conclusion: The case addressed draws attention to the different neurological manifestations observed in neurotuberculosis, such as headache, seizures, confusion and disorientation. Early diagnosis and treatment is important to achieve a favorable outcome.

"PV-087 - PERSONALITY DISORDER AND MODAFINIL DEPENDENCE – A CASE REPORT". In 24 CONGRESO DE LA SOCIEDAD ESPAÑOLA DE PATOLOGÍA DUAL. SEPD, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.17579/abstractbooksepd2022.pv087.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Introduction: Comorbidity of personality and substance use disorders, including prescription drug abuse, is common in clinical practice. We present a case report of a patient with a diagnosis of a personality disorder and symptoms of modafinil dependence. Case report: 33-year-old male, single, unemployed for over 3 years. He started psychological treatment at the age of 17 due to anxiety symptoms. Since the age of 21 he had irregular consultations with several psychiatrists in private practice. He received several diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and personality disorder. In one of the consultations, modafinil 100mg was prescribed twice daily to alleviate depressive symptoms. The patient gradually increased the dose to up to 1000mg a day. He presented for a consultation in our psychiatric hospital claiming he had been trying to reduce the dose of the drug. He had a fast speech and showed aggressive behavior, reported intrusive suicidal and homicidal thoughts, and had recent episodes of aggressive behavior requiring police intervention. Hospitalization was proposed for discontinuation of the psychostimulant medication. Discussion and conclusions: Modafinil is a central nervous system stimulant, pharmacologically different from other stimulants. It is approved in Portugal for the treatment of excessive somnolence associated with narcolepsy. However, it is often used off label in several countries as an adjunctive treatment for symptoms of depression or fatigue associated with cancer or neurologic diseases. Although modafinil is typically associated with low abuse potential, case reports have been presented in the literature describing patterns of abuse and dependence of this drug. It is important that clinicians prescribe it with caution, bearing in mind patients' past consumption patterns and traits and that may increase the risk of abuse, such as high novelty seeking and reward sensitivity and low agreeableness and conscientiousness.

Duffy, Katie, Kelly De Bruin, Loïc Henry, Clement Kyei, Anne Nolan e Brendan Walsh. Health impacts of climate change and mitigation policies in Ireland. ESRI, luglio 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.26504/rs188.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Recognition of the need to limit climate change has led countries to sign up to concerted efforts to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These efforts culminated in the ratification of the Paris Agreement by Ireland and 196 other countries in 2015. This agreement, and the subsequent Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act of 2021, commit Ireland to a GHG emissions reduction goal of at least 55 per cent compared to 1990 levels by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. These commitments to reduce GHG emissions through various Climate Action Plans will have considerable economic and societal ramifications, including on population health. For EU countries, the health implications of climate change are estimated to be extensive, while climate change may impede the sustainability of healthcare service provision. The changing climate, predicted to intensify, can exacerbate health impacts, especially in vulnerable demographic groups such as children, older people, and individuals with chronic diseases. However, in addition to the direct benefits for health from emission reductions (e.g., from fewer extreme weather events), emission reduction policies may also have co-benefits for health, e.g., the shift to more bicycle-based commuting through increased cycle lanes or the switch to lower meat consumption can help reduce emissions and improve health outcomes. Despite the growing evidence on the link between increasing temperatures, and likely emission reduction target policies, on health, little evidence exists on the health effects of climate change and associated mitigation actions in an Irish context. The aim of this report is to contribute to the understanding of the link between climate change and health by examining the impact of temperature changes on health and healthcare utilisation in Ireland. While there are multiple dimensions of climate change that may affect health (e.g., increasing temperature, increased precipitation, wildfires, etc.), temperature change is considered one of the principal health threats facing Ireland with respect to climate change. First the report undertakes an in-depth review of the literature on the link between temperature change and health, focusing on evidence from other regions with moderate climates that are similar to Ireland. It also provides an overview of the literature that has assessed the health benefits and co-benefits of climate change mitigation action. Second, the report utilises Met Éireann temperature data to develop Irish climate projections based on simulations performed by the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC). Next, the research examines the impact of increases in temperature on use of emergency in-patient hospital care in Ireland. Finally, the report also outlines some of the potential health benefits and co-benefits of climate change mitigation actions, in Ireland.
