Abstract

Background Patients with diabetes are at increased cardiovascular risk. Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT) is the treatment of choice in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy. We assessed coronary flow reserve (CFR) by transthoracic echocardiography as a marker of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in SPKT patients. Methods We studied 48 consecutive SPKT patients (28 male, age at SPKT 54 ± 8 years). Time from transplantation was 8.5 ± 3 years. Follow-up was 4.6 ± 1.8 years. Coronary flow velocity in the left anterior descending coronary artery was detected by Doppler echocardiography at rest and during adenosine infusion. CFR was the ratio of hyperemic diastolic flow velocity (DFV) to resting DFV. A CFR ≤ 2 was considered abnormal and a sign of coronary microvascular dysfunction. MACE were cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. Results CFR was 2.55 ± 0.8. CFR was ≤2 in 13 (27%) patients. CFR was lower in SPKT patients with MACE (2.1 ± 0.7 vs 2.7 ± 0.8, P =.03) and patients with MACE had a higher incidence of CFR ≤ 2 (P =.03). Time from transplantation was shorter in patients with MACE (P < .0001). Patients with CFR ≤ 2 had a lower MACE-free survival (P = .03). CFR ≤ 2 predicted the risk of MACE (P = .007) independently from coronary artery disease and metabolic control. However, this predicted role is lost when adjusted for the time from transplantation, which plays a protective role (P = .001). Conclusions In SPKT, CFR ≤ 2 may be a reliable marker for MACE, independent of coronary artery disease diagnosis. However, this role seems to be reduced over time. This finding suggests a gradual reduction of cardiovascular risk in SPKT patients.

Abstract

Aim of this study was to determine the predictors of caregiver burden among spouse caregivers of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Forty consecutive PD patients and their spouse caregivers were included. Patients were assessed using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), the Hoehn and Yahr scale (HY), the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Stress and depressive symptoms among caregivers were evaluated using the Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI) scale and the GDS. Only PD severity (HY) and mental symptoms (NPI) were significantly associated to caregiver distress. A major attention must be given to the early identification of factors generating stress in caregivers in order to improve caregiver quality of life and patient's care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Handheld ultrasound devices allow for a bedside screening although quantitative parameters are not easily obtained. We aim to assess the reliability of visual qualitative evaluation of left ventricle (LV) compared with standard quantitative evaluation with 2D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Methods: Two cardiologists have reviewed 135 consecutive standard TTE examinations. Both observers visually assessed LV size, hypertrophy (LVH) and ejection fraction (EF). LV diameter, volume, wall thickness and EF (Teichholz and Simpson) were also measured by both observers. Visual and quantitative agreement and inter and intraobserver variability were calculated. Results: Image quality allowed for evaluation of 130 examinations. Visually assessed EF compared with Simpson had better consistency (Intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] 0,91 IC95% 0,88-0,94) than with Teichholz (ICC 0,75 IC95% 0,66-0,82). We have also observed good interobserver agreement regarding visually assessed EF (ICC 0,81 IC95% 0,71-0,87) and Simpson EF (ICC 0,80 IC95% 0,70-0,89) as well as good intraobserver agreement (visual EF: ICC 0,81 IC95% 0,74-0,86; Simpson: ICC 0,89 IC95% 0,84-0,93). Regarding LVH we found moderate agreement between visual and quantitative assessment (weighted Kappa [wK] 0,44 (IC95% 0,32-0,56)), moderate interobserver agreement for quantitative assessment (ICC 0,59 IC95% 0,44-0,71) and poor interobserver agreement for visual assessment (wK 0,19 IC95% 0,08-0,30). Intraobserver variability regarding LVH visual estimation was moderate (wK 0,40 IC95% 0,29-0,52) and regarding LVH quantification was good (ICC 0,78 IC95% 0,70-0,84). LVH was visually overestimated in 25% of examinations. Regarding LV size, we found poor agreement between visual assessment and its quantification with end-diastolic diameter (wK 0,22 IC95% 0,06-0,39) and moderate agreement between visual assessment and end-systolic LV volume (wK 0,62 IC95% 0,47-0,77). Interobserver agreement regarding quantitative volume assessment was good (ICC 0,90 IC95% 0,85-0,94) and regarding visual assessment was moderate (wK 0,43 IC95% 0,26-0,70). We found good intraobserver variability of volume measurement (wK 0,64 IC95% 0,50-0,78) and of visual size assessment (ICC 0,96 IC95% 0,94-0,97). Conclusions: Visual LVEF assessment is consistent with quantitative assessment and should be regarded as a reliable parameter that can be obtained from bedside examination with a handheld device. Visual assessment of LV size and wall thickness is less reliable than its quantification and should be confirmed with standard measurements.

Abstract

Purpose: With the advent of percutaneous transcatheter device closures in congenital heart defects and the emergence of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure, there is an increasingly important role for echocardiographic guidance and control of device position and function. Disc occluder devices frequently present as an unexplained ‘figure-of-8’ on echocardiography. The aim of this study was to clarify this ‘figure-of-8’ display and to relate its morphology to transducer position and device type. Methods: A mathematical model was developed to resemble disc occluder geometry and to allow a numerical simulation of the echocardiographic appearance. In addition, we developed an in vitro set-up for echocardiographic analysis of various disc occluders and various transducer positions. Results: In the mathematical model of an epitrochoid curve (closely resembling disc occluder geometry) a ‘figure-of-8’ display is obtained when emphasizing points with tangent vector perpendicular to the direction of ultrasound waves. Decreasing imaging depth results in a more asymmetric ‘figure-of-8’, with small upper part and wide lower part. Clinical and in vitro data are in close agreement with these results (Figure 1). Furthermore a ‘figure-of-8’ display is only obtained in a coronal imaging position, and is similar for different commercially available disc occluder types. Conclusions: The ‘figure-of-8’ display in the ultrasound image of a disc occluder is an imaging artifact due to the specific ‘epitrochoidal’ geometry of a deployed device and its interaction with ultrasound waves. The morphology of the ‘figure-of-8’ depends on transducer position, i.e. imaging depth, and is similar for different device types. Figure 1 Impact of imaging depth

Abstract

Objective To assess the association between diabetes preceding Parkinson's disease (PD) and PD. Methods PD individuals were matched to PD free individuals randomly selected from people in the same municipality as the cases. Occurrence of diabetes preceding PD onset among cases and controls was assessed through a structured questionnaire. Information regarding current and past medical treatment and other variables was also collected. We used univariate and multivariate logistic models to calculate crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR). Covariates are adjusted for included education, smoking habit, alcohol and coffee consumption. Results 318 PD individuals (165 women, 153 men) and 318 matched controls were included in the study. PD patients had a mean age at interview of 66.7 years. Mean age at PD onset was 60.8 years and mean PD duration 5.9 years. We found an inverse association between PD and diabetes preceding PD onset in all groups stratified by gender, age at PD onset, body mass index (BMI), smoking habit, alcohol and coffee consumption. Multivariate analysis yielded the same findings after controlling for the variables (adjusted OR 0.4; 95% CI, 0.2–0.8). Conclusions Our findings provide additional support for a potential link between diabetes and PD.

Abstract

Dear Editor, We report the case of a 46-year-old immunocompetent woman with a 10-month-long history of progressive exophthalmia, right palpebral ptosis, and retro-orbital pain. The patient referred also a severe left ocular maculopathy since she was 17 years old. Physical examination revealed a right exophthalmia; blood cell count and other basic laboratory investigations were within normal ranges, with the exception of a not quantifiable monoclonal component at serum electrophoresis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scan showed a right cavernous sinus mass with implant on the meninges associated with intrasellar and intraorbital extension and erosion of the right superior orbital fissure without parenchymal infiltration. These findings supported a neuroradiological diagnosis of meningioma. Cerebrospinal fluid examination was normal. A partial resection of the intraorbital mass was performed. The gross specimen consisted of small fragments (i.e., 0.5 cm in maximum diameter) including bone spiculae. Histopathology revealed a mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (MALT-NHL) with an extensive plasma cell differentiation arising from the dura and infiltrating the underlying bone. Lymphoid cells were mainly represented by smallto intermediate-sized elements with somewhat regular nuclei and relatively abundant clear cytoplasm, forming loose aggregates in the intertrabecular areas of bone fragments (Fig. 1a). Lymphoid cells were immunoreactive for CD20 (Fig. 1c) and negative for CD3, CD21, CD138, IgM, IgD, cyclin D1, EMA, and myeloperoxidase. A significant proportion of tumor was represented by mature-appearing plasma cells, which, in some areas, were virtually the only recognizable elements (Fig. 1b) and showed immunoreactivity for CD138 (Fig. 1d) with lambda light chain restriction (Fig. 1e, f). The postoperative period was uneventful and a complete staging workup, including blood cell count, total-body CT scan, and bone marrow biopsy, ruled out any systemic lymphomatous involvement. Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric lymphoma were excluded by multiple biopsies. The patient’s well-known long history of left ocular maculopathy prevented the adoption of radiotherapy to avoid further damage to both eyes. Accordingly, treatment with the anti-CD20 monoclonal Ann Hematol (2009) 88:599–601 DOI 10.1007/s00277-008-0638-x

Abstract

Introduction. Hemorrhagic transformation (HT), a complication of ischemic stroke (IS) is supposed to influence patient’s prognosis. Aim of our study was to evaluate, in a hospital-based series of patients not treated with thrombolysis, the relationship between HT and late mortality. Methods. Mortality of individuals with spontaneous HT was compared to that of individuals without. Medical records of patients diagnosed with anterior IS during the period 2004-2006 were reviewed. Living status was obtained from the public record office of the municipality of Palermo or indirectly by telephone interview. Outcome measure was 90 days survival after IS onset. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to construct survival curves. Cox proportional hazards model was used in a univariate analysis to estimate RR for the main outcome measure (death) in the different strata. We evaluated the relationship between HT and the main mortality risk factors. HT was stratified in hemorrhagic infarction (HI) and parenchymal hematoma (PH). Results. Living status was determined for 96.7%. At 3 month follow-up, mortality rate was 12.1% (28/232). At multivariate analysis, large infarct size (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.2, 6.0, p=0.02) and HT (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.0, 5.4, p = 0.05) were significantly associated with increased mortality. Parenchymal hematoma was the strongest independent risk factor for late mortality (OR 7.9, 95% CI 2.9, 21.4, p < 0.0001). Conclusions. Infarct size and HT play a significant role in late mortality after IS. Parenchymal hematoma is the strongest predictor of late mortality.

Abstract

Background: The association between cholesterol levels and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is still controversial. Studies investigating this issue are influenced by treatments as some are characterized by a higher risk of HT. The aim of our study was to evaluate, in a hospital-based series of patients not treated with thrombolysis, the relationship between cholesterol levels and HT. Methods: We retrospectively collected information about total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) levels at admission in a consecutive series of 240 patients with anterior ischemic stroke (IS). The TC and LDLC levels were arranged in 3 groups according to their percentile distribution. Results: TC levels were available for 215 patients (89.6%), while LDLC levels were available for 184 patients (76.7%). The risk of HT significantly increased with decreasing levels of TC (p for trend = 0.03) and LDLC (p for trend = 0.01). In multivariate analysis, the risk of HT was significantly higher in the groups of patients with the lowest TC (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.0–8.9, p = 0.05) and LDLC (OR 5.0, 95% CI 1.2–20.1, p = 0.002) values compared to those with the highest ones. Conclusion: We confirm that lower TC and lower LDLC levels are associated with an increased risk of HT. As none of our patients received thrombolytic therapy, the results of our study provide baseline information about the natural history of HT.
