Optoelectronic Method for Increasing the Signal-to-Noise Ratio in Mass Spectrometry for Urinary Disulfoton Identification

Abstract: Mass spectrometry is an optoelectronic method of determining organic substances by comparing their mass spectrum with mass spectra found in system libraries. In the case of biological products, substances of interest, biotic or xenobiotics, may be “hidden” from the background of the analyzed matrix noise, which alters the major aspect of the mass spectrum obtained and faces the impossibility of their identification. A gas chromatograph coupled with mass spectrometer (GC-MS) Varian was used, to develop a selected ion monitoring (SIM) method for increasing the signal-to-noise ratio for identifying the disulfoton in urine samples.

Rehabilitation Therapy in Patients with Heart Failure

Abstract: There is a growing number of patients with heart failure, both male and female. The current medical therapy includes a variety of medical treatment options that can reduce morbidity and mortality.

Using External Fixation in distal tibial fractures- good principle, debatable application- Case presentation

Abstract: Abstract Distal tibial fractures usually result from high-energy trauma, affecting young, active people, producing long-term disability and numerous complications. Their treatment is difficult, especially in type C fractures, which affect both the articular surface and the metaphysis, are quite frequent comminuted fractures, and are accompanied by soft tissue injuries. In these situations, External Fixation (EF) is used as a temporary bridging method, either for treating concomitant soft tissue injuries (in open fractures) or for achieving and maintaining reduction in order to prevent blisters or compartment syndrome, possibly resulting from severe displacement, bleeding or oedema. It must be however underlined that EF is rarely a definitive method for these fractures, especially when the ankle is splinted, and it must be followed by definitive Internal Fixation (IF) - the so-called “sequential method”, otherwise restoration of a normal ankle anatomy and function is improbable, resulting in ankle stiffness or even osteoarthritis. This paper presents a case in which this principle was only partially applied, thus requiring corrective surgery followed by a long-term recovery period.

Ups and downs of conducting a national representative survey on hypertension during pandemic time: main results of SEPHAR IV

Abstract: This national representative survey sought to assess hypertension's prevalence, awareness, treatment and control in Romania.A representative sample (by age, sex and residence) of 1477 Romanian adults (51.19 ± 16.61 years, range 18-80 years, 59.9% women) was multimodally evaluated during two study visits. Hypertension was defined as SBP at least 140 mmHg and/or DBP at least 90 mmHg or previously diagnosed hypertension, regardless of BP. Awareness was defined by knowledge of previous hypertension diagnosis or of current use of antihypertensive treatment. Treatment was defined by antihypertensive medication taken at least 2 weeks prior to enrolment. Control was defined as SBP less than 140 mmHg and DBP less than 90 mmHg at both visits in treated hypertensive patients.Hypertension prevalence was 46% ( n = 680) consisting of 81.02% ( n = 551) known hypertensive patients and 18.98% ( n = 129) newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. Awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were: 81% ( n = 551), 83.8% ( n = 462) and 39.2% ( n = 181).Despite numerous pandemic-related obstacles in conducting a national survey, SEPHAR IV updates hypertension epidemiological data of a high-cardiovascular-risk Eastern-European population. This study confirms previous predictions of hypertension prevalence, treatment and control, which remain unfavourable because of unsatisfactory control of promoting factors.
