[Management of diabetic patients with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease].

Extremitovascular arterial ischemic disease (lower extremity peripheral arterial disease - PAD) is an important manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis and other arterial diseases of vascular system. The lower the ankle-brachial pressure index, the greater the risk of serious acute instable organovascular events (e. g.

[Arterial hypertension--multicirculus vitiosus vasorum].

Aim: The aim of this review is to address documents and a number of studies on hypertension published in the last years in order to assess their contribution to our expanding knowledge of arterial hypertension.

Discussion: Arterial hypertension is not defined by symptoms and signs but by numbers of blood pressure values. Arterial hypertension is vascular disease (vascular risk factor) of many vascular diseases (atherosclerosis; arteriolosclerosis/arteriolonecrosis/arteriolocalcinosis; arterial thrombosis; arterial embolism; arterial thromboembolism; arterial dissection; complicated arterial aneurysm) and other.

[Significance of alanine aminotransferase screening in blood donors for risk reduction of hepatitis B and C transmission by haemotherapy].

Background: The goal of the retrospective observatory cross-sectional study was to evaluate the benefit of alanine aminotransferase screening of blood donors in prevention of hepatitis B and C transmission by haemotherapy in context of actual screening methods.

Methods: Donations with elevated ALT more than the defined limit (ALT men 80 IU/l, women 64 IU/l, spectrophotometric UV test, KUADRO(TM), BPC BioSed Srt, Castelnuovo di Porto Roma, Italy) and/or reactivity any of the hepatitis screening parameters HBsAg, anti-HBc, anti-HCV (chemiluminescence method, ARCHITECT i2000(TM), Illinois, USA) were evaluated. Donors were confirmatory retested.

[Uncorrected Tetralogy of Fallot--a case report of a 69-year-old patient].

Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect. The actual treatment relies on cardio-surgery--complete correction within the infant age. Without surgery only 10% of subjects survived 3rd decade and only 3-5% of subjects were able to survive until their 40th.

Effect of short term aerobic exercise on fasting and postprandial lipoprotein subfractions in healthy sedentary men.

Background: Our goal was to investigate the effect of short term exercise on fasting and postprandial lipoprotein profile.

Methods: Healthy sedentary men exercised 20 min for four days. The intensity of exercise was modulated to maintain 75-80 % of a calculated HRmax.
