Introduction. Hemodialysis patients are the group which oxidative stress is found more exacerbated. Ischemia modified albumin (IMA) is a new and sensitive marker for ischemia and oxidative stress. At current study we evaluated relation between IMA and biochemical parameters in hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods. Thirty-four patients on maintenance hemodialysis were included. Pre-hemodialysis and post-hemodialysis blood samples were taken. Serum IMA and biochemistry parameters were measured. Results. There was a positive correlation between alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and IMA (r=0,268, p<0,05), CRP and IMA (r=0,452, p=0,007), parathormone and IMA (r=0,436, p=0,010), There was a negative correlation between albumin and IMA (r=-0,338, p=0,05). Multiple regression analysis was run to predict IMA levels from parathormone, CRP and creatinine the model statistically significantly predicted relation p<0,05, R=0,506, out of four two variables added statistically significant to the prediction, PTH (p=0,006), CRP (p=0,029). In multiregression analysis, IMA was found to be associated with PTH and CRP independent of creatinine value. Conclusions. We showed for the first time that PTH is associated with IMA in hemodialysis patients, independent of the level of renal function.

Adult-onset hypophosphatemic osteomalacia is rare and diagnosis is frequently delayed. Fanconi syndrome (FS) due to monoclonal gammopathy is a well-recognized, but rare cause of hypophosphatemia. The relatively young age of patients and normal routine hematological parameters often results in late recognition of this treatable disease entity. Low phosphorus, elevated alkaline phosphatase, mildly impaired renal function and hypokalemia are often the only abnormalities on routine evaluation. We summarize the clinico-pathological features of two cases who initially presented with fractures and proximal myopathy and were subsequently found to have FS secondary to light chain proximal tubulopathy. Atypical features like absence of hypokalemia at presentation and elevated Fibroblast Growth Factor 23(FGF 23), a marker of oncogenic osteomalacia were noted. Marked clinical improvement and recovery of renal parameters were evident with phosphate supplements and chemotherapy for the plasma cell disorder. FS due to monoclonal gammopathy may present with atypical features and diagnosis may be challenging

West Nile virus (WNV) causes both sporadic infection and outbreaks that may be associated with severe neurologic involvement. The infection is transmitted to humans mainly by mosquito bites, and the virus is preserved in a cycle in which birds are the main host. The typical involvement of the central nervous system is completely indistinguishable from meningitis and encephalitis related to other pathogens. In this report we described the atypical presentation of a WNV meningoencephalitis in a 81-y.o. female patient, showing psychiatric manifestations at the onset. Anamnestic information was essential to progress to the correct diagnosis. Targeted search for the causative agent of meningoencephalitis was perfected after learning that the patient lived in an area adjacent to a nature reserve.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of pattern visual evoked potential (pVEP) and sweep visual evoked potential (sVEP) on the accurate visual acuity (VA) measurement in adults.
Methods: Medical files of 282 eyes of 141 patients who underwent VA measurement in our electrophysiology laboratory and did not undergo simulation were retrospectively analyzed. The VA was measured using the Snellen chart. Only those with a VA of higher than 1/10 on the Snellen chart were included in the study. The VA was assessed and reported by the pVEP (VA-pVEP) and sVEP test (VA-sVEP). The correlation analysis was performed using the Pearson correlation analysis.
Results: Of 141 patients, 92 were males and 49 were females with a mean age of 37.7±18.4 years. There was a strong positive correlation between the VA measured by the Snellen chart and the VA measured by pVEP (VA-pVEP) (r=0.858, p<0.001). There was a weak positive correlation (r=0.267, p<0.001) between the VA measured by the Snellen chart and the VA measured by the sVEP (VA-sVEP). A weak positive correlation was found for the VA-pVEP and VA-sVEP (r=0.313, p<0.001).
Conclusions: For the measurement of the degree of the VA, it seems reasonable to use pVEP initially, while sVEP should be used in cases with short attention span and those who are noncooperative and in infants.

Our objective was to investigate the inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in patients with moderate and severe form of COVID-19. In addition, we show the correlation between changes in lymphocyte subsets and markers of oxidative stress as a tool for patient classification. IL-6 and VEGF were analysed by utilizing a High Sensitivity Evidence Investigator™ Biochip Array technology. The total antioxidant capacity (PAT) and the free radical concentrations (d-ROM) were measured in serum utilizing analytical photometric system FRAS5. Peripheral blood was used to determine CD45 + mononuclear, B, T, and NK cells using a multi-parameter flow cytometric immunophenotypic test. Statistically significant differences in IL-6 and VEGF levels were observed between the two patient groups. Decreased values of the absolute number of lymphocytes and their CD4 + and CD8 + positive T cells, NK cells, and CD8 were obtained. In the moderate group, good correlations were found between IL-6 and VEGF and NK cells (r = 0.6973, p <0.05; for IL6 and r = 0.6498, p <0, for VEGF. 05). Cytokines were correlated with CD45+ (r = 0.5610, p <0.05; for IL-6 and r = 0.5462, p <0.05 for VEGF). The oxidative stress index can be used as a cheaper alternative and as a triage tool between severe and moderate illnesses, after showing good correlation with more expensive patient classification analysis.
我们的目的是研究中重度COVID-19患者的炎症和氧化应激标志物。此外,我们展示了淋巴细胞亚群变化和氧化应激标志物之间的相关性,作为患者分类的工具。利用高灵敏度证据调查员™生物芯片阵列技术分析IL-6和VEGF。采用分析光度系统FRAS5测定血清总抗氧化能力(PAT)和自由基浓度(rom)。外周血采用多参数流式细胞术免疫表型检测CD45 +单核细胞、B细胞、T细胞和NK细胞。两组患者IL-6、VEGF水平差异有统计学意义。淋巴细胞及其CD4 +和CD8 +阳性T细胞、NK细胞和CD8的绝对数量下降。中度组IL-6与VEGF、NK细胞相关性较好(r = 0.6973, p <0.05;对于il - 6, r = 0.6498, p <0。05)。细胞因子与CD45+相关(r = 0.5610, p <0.05;IL-6, r = 0.5462, VEGF, p <0.05)。氧化应激指数可以作为一种更便宜的替代方法,在与更昂贵的患者分类分析显示出良好的相关性后,可以作为重度和中度疾病之间的分诊工具。

According to the italian Code of Medical Deontology, mutual trust and mutual respect for values and rights are the care relationship foundation. To establish reciprocal trust and respect, the communication between care providers and patients must be skilled and appropriate, and the time devoted to communication must be considered time of care. But in Italy, in the last decades costs containment policy in the organizations of the National Health Service critically shortened the time available for care. Today, doctors and other healthcare professionals literally do not have the time to establish appropriate care relationships, and this causes a widespread and increasing distrust of patients and their families in the care system. During Covid-19 pandemic also vaccine hesitancy, defined by experts as a delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccination despite availability of vaccination services, was mainly due to a lack of confidence in care system and in scientific research. Slow Medicine ETS, an italian proactive movement of healthcare professional and citizen, following the example of the initiative “Building Trust” recently activated by the ABIM Foundation in the USA, launched a national initiative aimed to promote and plan concrete actions to restore and consolidate people’s trust in health professionals and organizations, in researchers, in scientific and rational approach to knowledge and in its use for the improvement of health and quality of life. Slow Medicine ETS, still successfully leading and supporting the “Choosing Wisely Italy” project, will be engaged in assembling the national network of the new project “Building Trust Italy”.
根据意大利医学道德规范,相互信任和相互尊重价值观和权利是护理关系的基础。为了建立相互信任和尊重,护理提供者和患者之间的沟通必须熟练和适当,用于沟通的时间必须被视为护理时间。但在意大利,在过去几十年中,国家卫生服务组织的成本控制政策大大缩短了可供护理的时间。如今,医生和其他医疗保健专业人员实际上没有时间建立适当的护理关系,这导致了对护理系统中患者及其家人的广泛和日益增长的不信任。在新冠肺炎大流行期间,疫苗犹豫也主要是由于对护理系统和科学研究缺乏信心,专家将其定义为尽管有疫苗接种服务,但仍延迟接受或拒绝接种。慢医学ETS是意大利一个积极主动的医疗专业人员和公民运动,以美国ABIM基金会最近发起的“建立信任”倡议为榜样,发起了一项全国性倡议,旨在促进和计划具体行动,恢复和巩固人们对卫生专业人员和组织、研究人员、,以科学合理的方式获取知识,并将其用于改善健康和生活质量。Slow Medicine ETS仍在成功领导和支持“明智选择意大利”项目,将参与组建新项目“建立信任意大利”的全国网络。
