Timed up and go test and self-perceived health in elderly: population-based study
Abstract Due to the aging process, chronic diseases arise with increased use of medications and there is a need to evaluate the elderly to prevent functional dependence and falls. The aim of this study was to compare gender, sociodemographic characteristics, fall occurrences, self-reported diseases, quantity of drugs with timed up and go test (TUG) and TUG-cognitive, and to associate these factors with the self-perception of health of the elderly in the community. Were selected 513 elderly people, with 384 that completed the TUG test to evaluate the functional capacity. There was difference between the female and male, in ...

Évaluation de la prévalence de l’hypertension artérielle de l’adulte en milieu du travail à Kinshasa, République Démocratique du Congo
ConclusionL’HTA est une pathologie fréquente en milieu de travail et l’obésité en est le principal facteur de risque modifiable. L’élaboration et la mise en place d’un programme de prévention et de prise en charge dans le cadre de la santé au travail s’avère indispensable.AbstractBackgroundArterial hypertension (AHT) is a major cardiovascular risk factor in the occurrence of stroke, heart failure, renal insufficiency and coronary heart disease, which are the leading causes of death worldwide. Insufficient data on high blood pressure in the workplace in the Democratic Republic of Congo, led us to carry out ...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for osteoradionecrosis.
Authors: Cooper PD, Smart DR Abstract Dr Sames and colleagues are to be commended on their thought-provoking article about regional variation in hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) provision for oro-facial osteoradionecrosis (ORN) across Australia and New Zealand. The four-fold difference between jurisdictions requires further elucidation. As co-directors of the only comprehensive hyperbaric facility in Tasmania, the state with the highest ORN treatment rate, we believe a number of issues pertaining to the Australian situation warrant further consideration. 1. Disease prevalence Comparisons between regions require c...

Comparative effectiveness of exercise and drug interventions on mortality outcomes: metaepidemiological study.
CONCLUSIONS: Although limited in quantity, existing randomised trial evidence on exercise interventions suggests that exercise and many drug interventions are often potentially similar in terms of their mortality benefits in the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, rehabilitation after stroke, treatment of heart failure, and prevention of diabetes. PMID: 26476429 [PubMed - in process]

Partial vs Single Aortic Clamping
Once cardiopulmonary bypass became a clinical reality, the application of a noncrushing clamp across the ascending aorta allowed pioneering surgeons to correct congenital and acquired heart disease under direct vision. Favaloro et al described using partial aortic clamping (PAC) for proximal anastomoses for coronary operations at the Cleveland Clinic. As the mortality rate for cardiac surgery improved, a greater focus was placed on mitigating complications from poor myocardial protection and embolic neurologic injury. Single aortic clamping (SAC) arose as a strategy to mitigate both embolic stroke and inadequate myocardial...

All-cause and disease-specific mortality among male, former elite athletes: an average 50-year follow-up
Conclusions Elite athletes have 5–6 years additional life expectancy when compared to men who were healthy as young adults. Lower mortality for cardiovascular disease was in part due to lower rates of smoking, as tobacco-related cancer mortality was especially low.

The cost of physical inactivity: moving into the 21st century
Physical inactivity is increasingly being recognised as a major problem in global health. The WHO estimates that 3.3 million people die around the world each year due to physical inactivity, making it the fourth leading underlying cause of mortality.1 Physical activity has beneficial effects on 23 diseases or health conditions.2 However, in most countries fewer than half of adults are active enough to reap most of these benefits.3 4 Given that inactivity increases the risk for many of the most costly medical conditions such as type 2 diabetes, stroke, ischaemic heart disease, falls and hip fractures, and depression, it is ...

150 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week predicts survival and successful ageing: a population-based 11-year longitudinal study of 12 201 older Australian men
Conclusions Sustained physical activity is associated with improved survival and healthy ageing in older men. Vigorous physical activity seems to promote healthy ageing and should be encouraged when safe and feasible.
