[Tolvaptan versus fluid restriction in the treatment of hyponatremia due to inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion: efficacy and safety analysis in a cohort study].
Nutr Hosp
December 2024
Background And Objectives: hyponatremia is a common in older and hospitalized patients, often caused by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). This study compares the efficacy and safety of tolvaptan versus fluid restriction in patients with hyponatremia and SIADH.
Materials And Methods: an observational cohort study was conducted with 186 patients with hyponatremia (Na+ < 135 mmol/L) due to SIADH, treated at the Hospital Universitario de Pontevedra between 2015 and 2022.
Background: Recent studies indicate the need to examine how the gut microbiota-brain axis is implicated in pain, sensory reactivity and gastro-intestinal symptoms in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but no scale exists that assesses all these constructs simultaneously.
Methods: We created a pool of 100 items based on the real-world experience of autistic people, and a multidisciplinary team and stakeholders reduced this pool to 50 items assessing pain, sensory hypersensitivity, and sensory hyposensitivity. In the present study, we present this new assessment tool, the Pain and Sensitivity Reactivity Scale (PSRS), and examine its psychometric properties in a sample of 270 individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; mean age = 9.
Background And Objectives: Hyponatraemia is common in elderly and hospitalised patients, often caused by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of tolvaptan and urea in patients with hyponatraemia and SIADH.
Materials And Methods: An observational cohort study was conducted on 198 patients with SIADH and hyponatraemia (Na+ <135 mmol/L) at the Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Pontevedra from January 2015 to May 2022.
Article Synopsis
- The zygomatic bone, crucial in facial anatomy, is prone to fractures from impacts like accidents and sports, and zygomatic implants may increase this risk.
- A complex anatomical model using finite-element analysis (FEM) was created to simulate the zygomatic bone's behavior under various impact velocities.
- Results indicated that higher speeds (15 and 20 km/h) caused severe crush fractures, while lower speeds led to less severe local damage, highlighting specific high-stress areas crucial for injury prevention.
