Background Foreign body airway obstruction is a partial or complete blockage of airways, due to a foreign body (for example food, toys, coins etc.) Blocked airways will untreated result in cardiac arrest by hypoxia.
Previous research describes foreign body airway obstruction as an uncommon cause of
Population Participants will be included from the Catalan Down Syndrome Foundation (FCSD). After obtaining a written informed consent, approved by the ethical committee, a total of 60 adult subjects of both sexes with SD and without dementia will be included. Forty subjects with a diagnosis of
Sleep-related breathing disorders (SBAS), particularly obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), are one of the most common causes of non-restorative sleep. Disturbances of sleep disorders include apneas and hypopneas associated with either or not pharyngeal obstruction and hypoventilation. Depending
With a complex etiology, delirium is usually caused by various peri-operative stimuli on basis of predisposing factors, including senility, hypoxia and hypotension, pain, drug (such as pethidine, benzodiazepine, anticholinergic, and drug withdrawal), complications prior to surgery, post-operative
Background: In 1894 William Osler, MD, said: "You are as old as your arteries." A number of recent studies have confirmed this prescient proclamation. Vascular rather than chronological age is the best predictor of adverse cardiovascular events and mortality from coronary insufficiency, ischemia,
Cognitive skills are the crucial abilities required to manage money, maintain employment, and live independently. Long-term cognitive impairment (LTCI) is a disabling loss of these skills that can persist for months to years. LTCI frequently occurs after primary brain injury (e.g., traumatic brain
Surgical trauma causes release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and other alarmines (e.g. HMGB-1) targeting receptors on local cells of the innate immune system, such as macrophages. This cellular response to trauma is followed by a rapid release of an array of inflammatory mediators
Surgical trauma causes release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and other alarmines (e.g. high mobility group box (HMGB-1)) targeting receptors on local cells of the innate immune system, such as macrophages. This cellular response to trauma is followed by a rapid release of an array
From 2008-2013 more than 5,000 patients have been seen by a community-based internist/psychiatrist specializing in treating cognitively impaired adults suffering from MCI or dementia due to Alzheimer's Disease, vascular dementia, combined DAT/VAD, FTD, PD, LBD, as well as dementia due to traumatic
The primary care physicians in the memory disorder clinics at the participating hospitals (Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital at Lin-Kuo, Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital-Taoyuan branch, Catholic Mercy Hospital at Hukou, Hsinchu county) will receive a written letter to explain the purpose of this project and
GOALS AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH The purpose of this proposal is to test a novel cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention to increase continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment adherence for PTSD Veterans with a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). PTSD is
Although anticholinesterase therapies have greatly improved the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), they have not been demonstrated to significantly slow the disease progression; and amyloid-directed therapies have produced disappointing results. A promising evidence-based and
Specific circulating microRNA's have been identified in patients with neurological diseases or deficits, and specifically those with neurodegenerative conditions. Furthermore, available evidence primarily in pre-clinical / animal models supports the hypothesis that post-surgical/anesthesia - induced
Group 1. Inclusion: 200 patients with colorectal cancer scheduled for surgery and 200 controls. Due to drop outs we calculate a need of inviting at least 250 patients with colorectal cancer. We will use controls from an ongoing epidemiological study of sleep apnea in the population.
Exclusion:
It is being increasingly understood that OSA represents an inflammatory state, with multiple studies showing increased levels of circulating cytokines, possibly providing the link between OSA and cardiovascular/pulmonary morbidity. In support of this, use of CPAP therapy is associated with a
