Cardiovascular comorbidities in psoriatic arthritis - study of patients from the Republic of Moldova
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic musculoskeletal and cutaneous inflammatory disease that affects about 20-30% of patients with psoriasis. In addition to musculoskeletal and cutaneous manifestations, patients with PsA have a higher prevalence of comorbidities compared to the general population. More than half of patients with PsA have at least one comorbidity, with up to 40% of patients having more than three comorbidities.
According to specialized literature, prostatic calculi are found in up to 80% of men over the age of 50. Prostatic calculi associated with chronic prostatitis may be closely related to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and may cause nonspecific symptoms of LUTS. The treatment drug therapy, minimally invasive as well as open surgeries, the number of which is actually decreasing worldwide. This phenomenon is mostly related to the emergence of both
new diagnostic technologies and endourological treatment.
There were no data on in-hospital stroke care indicators until Moldova's accession to the international Registry of Stroke Care Quality (RES-Q) platform in 2016. The aim of this paper was to assess the acute stroke care quality in Moldova based on the data of the RES-Q registry.
Fatty liver disease (FLD) is composed of a wide spectrum including metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in this populational group. Many risk estimation systems are in existence for improving the management of population groups, but currently, none of the available risk prediction models are authenticated in patients with hepatic steatosis.
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) make up a large group of disorders caused by an inherited defect of proteins that have enzymatic, carrier, receptor or structural roles. The cumulative prevalence of IEM in different populations is around 1:500 – 800 newborns, despite the fact that some of these disorders are extremely rare when taken individually. Early recognition and intervention are essential to avoiding disastrous consequences associated with IEM. The phenotype of IEM patients is very heterogeneous and only in combination with specialized metabolic test it can lead to a correct diagnosis. The aim of the study was defined as evaluation of importance of plasma amino acid profile in the diagnosis of IEM.
Mandibular prognathism is a facial disharmony characterized by an anterior relationship of the mandible to the upper jaw. Some authors associate the increased volume of the tongue with the development of this anomaly. Currently in scientific literature it is debated whether the tongue actively shapes the surrounding tissues or adapts to existing conditions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the volume of the tongue at the patients with class III malocclusion compared to class I patients using three-dimensional volumetric analysis based on computed tomography
Surface electromyography has proven to be a useful instrument for the assessment of success rate for different dental treatments. However, due to numerous variables that may influence the data like age, gender, fat tissue thickness etc. it is necessary to adjust the obtained values to a reference group with the same parameters.
Despite numerous fundamental clinical studies on the frequency, pathogenesis, clinical features of spondyloarthritis (SpA) in intestinal infectious diseases (IID) and intestinal damage in SpA, there are currently a number of unresolved problems, one of which is the problem of early diagnosis of arthropathies, especially associated with IID, which makes it necessary to continue the research in the scientific problem.
Study of clinical manifestations in psoriatic arthritis: enthesitis, dactylitis, peripheral arthritis, axial arthritis, skin manifestations, for early diagnosis, which would allow the establishment of an adjusted treatment and the elaboration of measures to prevent complications.
