Article Synopsis
- Bendopnea, a symptom indicating shortness of breath when bending forward, was studied in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) to understand its prevalence and characteristics.
- In a group of 95 patients, 34.7% experienced bendopnea, with an average age of 62 and a high prevalence of obesity (BMI of 34 kg/m²).
- The presence of bendopnea was significantly associated with older age, obesity, heart failure, and other respiratory diseases, signaling a need for further attention to these patients' health issues.

Article Synopsis
- * The introduction of iPCSK9 medications allowed some patients to stop lipoapheresis while still maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
- * A case study of a 27-year-old male with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy and Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia showed successful treatment with alirocumab, reducing cLDL levels effectively after discontinuing lipoapheresis.
Article Synopsis
- * Among 250 DHF patients, 48.8% experienced bendopnea, which correlated with worse symptoms and functional class, including higher rates of other breathing problems and edema.
- * Bendopnea was found to significantly impact QoL, with many patients facing moderate to severe limitations, and was linked to a higher mortality rate and advanced heart failure stages.
Article Synopsis
- PCT (Procalcitonin) is an important diagnostic tool for bacterial infections, but its effectiveness in elderly patients had not been extensively studied prior to this research.* -
- The study involved 161 elderly patients (75 years and older) split into two groups: one with probable bacterial infections and another with noninfectious diseases, to assess the validity of PCT levels in diagnosis.* -
- Results showed that PCT had a sensitivity of 72% and specificity of 92% for diagnosing bacterial infections in the elderly, indicating it can effectively help identify infections in this population.*
