IntroductionFine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is considered the reference diagnostic procedure for thyroid nodules.Materials and methodsRoutine performance of thyroid ultrasound and ultrasound-guided FNAB by endocrinologists allows a more efficient approach in the setting of a high-resolution practice, thus reducing costs and the time elapsed until diagnosis.ResultsWe present our initial results of this procedure 2 years after its introduction, with a total of 286 biopsies performed. After a progressive learning curve over time and according to the endocrinologists’ previous experience, 72.72% samples were considered satisfactory for diagnosis. Greater difficulty was observed in obtaining optimal cytological specimens in smaller nodules. In conclusion, we have successfully incorporated thyroid ultrasound and ultrasound-guided FNAB into routine endocrine practice.ConclusionRoutine performance of thyroid ultrasound in endocrine practice will considerably aid the management of nodular thyroid disease. 相似文献

IntroductionWith the increase in the elderly population of Chile, it is very important to evaluate the quality of food of this age group using simple and quick tools.ObjectiveTo compare the food quality of the elderly, according to gender and age.Material and methodsA cross sectional study was conducted on 458 elderly subjects ≥ 60 years-old of Santiago de Chile. Each one of them were interviewed in their home using the Food Quality Survey for Elderly (FQSE). The objective of this survey is to measure the quality of the food and preparations considered healthy and/or unhealthy for elderly. Weight and height, was obtained from the control document of the elderly.ResultsMen consume a higher number of unhealthy foods compared to women (P = .01). On comparing ages, those over 80 years-old consumed less unhealthy foods (P = .01). The elderly obese showed a lower score in unhealthy eating habits and total intake score.ConclusionWomen eat healthier compared to men, and better eating habits are observed at an older age, especially in men. Finally, on comparing nutritional status, the elderly obese are those who eat in the most inadequate form. 相似文献

Aimsto compare posturographic test with One-Leg Balance test in the elderly.Methodswe studied 59 healthy men and women living in the community who were at least 65 years of age. All of them were evaluated with One–Leg Balance (defined as the ability to stand on one leg unsupported for 5 seconds) and Modifies Clinical Test for the Sensory Interaction on Balance by the Balance Master (Neurocom®). We distributed the patients in two groups. Group A included those who couldn’t perform one-leg balance and group B those who could perform it.Results62.6% of subjects could perform one-leg balance and 37.2% could not perform it. On a firm surface with opened eyes, the A group made a variation of 0.4 deg/s (0.28-0.6) in the gravity center position and the B group 0,2 deg/s (0.1-0.3) (p = 0.010). On a firm surface with closed eyes, the A group made a variation of 0.5 deg/s (0.3-0.8) and the B group 0.3 deg/s (0.1- 0.4) (p = 0.002). On a foam surface with open eyes, the A group made a variation of their gravity center position of 1.10 deg/s (0.90-1.60) and the B group 0.9 deg/s (0.73-1.30) (p = 0.045). On a foam surface with closed eyes the A group made a variation of their gravity center position of 6 deg/s (4-6) and the B group 2.3 deg/s (1.63-3.08) (p < 0.001).Conclusionselderly patients who can perform one-leg balance, make less variations of their gravity centre. The results are the same when visual and propioceptive afferences are suppressed. 相似文献

BackgroundThe plants of the Asteraceae family have been used for medicinal purposes,in traditional Colombian medicine.AimTo evaluate the antifungal activity and the cytotoxic effects of 15 essential oils from plants of the Asteraceae family.MethodsAntifungal activity was evaluated against Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019, Candida krusei ATCC 6258, Aspergillus flavus ATCC 204304 and Aspergillus fumigatus ATCC 204305 following EUCAST and CLSI M38-A standard methods, for yeast and filamentous fungi, respectively. Cytotoxic effect was evaluated on Vero cell line by MTT assay.ResultsThe oils from the plants Achyrocline alata and Baccharis latifolia were the only ones active against A. fumigatus (GM-MIC=78.7 and 157.4 μg/ml, respectively). In contrast, there was no evidence of oils active against Candida species. In addition, these oils were not cytotoxic on Vero cells. The oils of A. alata and Baccharis latifolia could be candidates for disinfecting hospital environments and for inhibiting biofilm formation by A. fumigatusConclusionsThe oils of A. alata and B. latifolia could be candidates for disinfecting hospital environments and for inhibiting biofilm formation by A. fumigatus 相似文献

IntroductionWaist circumference (WC) and the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) are anthropometric measures widely used in clinical practice to evaluate visceral fat and the consequent cardiovascular risk. However, risk thresholds should be standardized according to body mass index (BMI).ObjectiveTo determine the distribution of WC and WHtR according to the BMI cut-points currently used to describe overweight and obesity.Materials and methodsWC, WHtR and BMI were measured in 3521 adult patients (>18 years) attended in Endocrinology and Nutrition units.ResultsA total of 20.8% (734 patients) were diabetic. Obesity was found in 82.1% of diabetic patients and in 75% of non-diabetic patients. The WC thresholds proposed by the National Institute of Health (102 cm in men, 88 cm in women), Bray (100 cm in men, 90 cm in women) and the International Diabetes Federation (94 cm in men, 80 cm in women) were exceeded by 92.9%, 94.8% and 98.4% of obese men, 96.8%, 95.5% and 99.7% of obese women, 79.1%, 83.1% and 90% of diabetic men and 95.5%, 81.5% and 97.4% of diabetic women, respectively. Thresholds adapted to the degree of obesity (90, 100, 110 and 125 cm in men and 80, 90, 105 and 115 cm in women for normal BMI, overweight, obesity I and obesity greater than I) were exceeded by 58.4% of obese men, 54.2% of obese women, 57.5% of diabetic men and 60.7% of diabetic women. WC was higher in men, and BMI and the WHtR were higher in women. The WC of diabetic women equalled that of men, and WC, WHtR and BMI were higher in diabetic than in non-diabetic women (p<0.001). WC (p<0.005), WHtR (p<0.001) and BMI (p<0.5) were also higher in diabetic than in non-diabetic men.ConclusionWC and WHtR thresholds by BMI discriminated diabetic and obese patients better than single thresholds, and can be represented graphically by the distribution of percentile ranks of WC and WHtR by BMI.ik 相似文献

Introduction
The search for biomarkers that can lead to the early diagnosis and thus, early treatment of frailty, has become one of the main challenges facing the geriatric scientific community. The aim of the present study was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to frailty.Material and methods
The study was conducted on 152 subjects from the Toledo Study for Healthy Aging (65 to 95 years of age), and classified as frail (n=78), and non-frail (n=74), according to Fried's criteria. After blood collection, DNA was isolated and amplified for the analysis of SNPs using AxiomTM Genotyping technology (Affymetrix). Statistical analyses were performed using the Plink program and library SNPassoc.Results
The results of the study showed 15 SNPs with a P < .001. Those SNPs involved in processes related to frailty, such as energy metabolism, regulation of biological processes, cell motility and integrity, and cognition are highlighted.Conclusions
These results suggest that the genetic variations identified in frail individuals that are involved in biological processes related to frailty may be considered as biomarkers for the early detection of frailty. 相似文献15.
