Sao Paulo Med J
March 2022
Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects almost 30% of the adult population.
Objective: To describe and compare the evolution of symptoms in patients diagnosed with AR and septal deviation prior to and following septoplasty (STP).
Design And Setting: Quasi-experimental study developed in A Coruña University Hospital.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine plantar pressures in asthmatic patients and how they differ from healthy individuals due to the high prevalence of asthma and its potential link to musculoskeletal issues.* -
- It included 90 participants, with 45 asthmatics and 45 healthy controls, using a portable pressure sensor to record static plantar pressure data.* -
- Results indicated significant differences in plantar pressures, with asthmatic patients showing lower maximum pressure in the right forefoot and less weight on the left heel, suggesting these changes are related to asthma.*
Based on the possible association between reduced foot dorsiflexion and high risk of falls, the main objective was to determine the ankle and 1º metatarsophalangeal joint (1MTTP) dorsiflexion range of motion and falls rate in patients with asthma compared to healthy matched-paired controls. A case-control study was carried out. Eighty participants were recruited and divided into patients with asthma (case group; n=40) and matched-paired healthy participants (control group; n=40).

The research aim was to compare scores of depression, as well as general and foot health-related QoL, in patients who suffered from asthma with respect to healthy subjects. A total sample of 152 subjects, median age of 37.

A case-control study was performed. One hundred participants were recruited: 50 asthma patients and 50 healthy matched-paired controls.
