OBJECTIVE
To examine the correlation between obesity and pulmonary function in polio survivors.
METHODS
This study was conducted based on a questionnaire survey and physical examination. The questionnaire included gender, age, paralyzed regions, physical activity levels, and accompanying diseases.
OBJECTIVE
Little is known about menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use in women with disabilities. The objectives of this study were to explore the health behaviors, health outcomes, and efficacy of HRT in a group of postmenopausal polio survivors and to compare selected outcomes to
Respiratory dysfunction is extremely common and entails considerable risk of morbidity and mortality for individuals with past poliomyelitis. Although it is usually primarily due to respiratory muscle weakness, post- poliomyelitis individuals also have a high incidence of scoliosis, obesity, sleep
METHODS
We report a 79-year-old patient with post-polio syndrome (PPS). In the course of this disease, recurrent upper abdominal pain and a therapy-resistant nausea developed without vomiting. In addition, the patient was limited by the combination of muscular weakness, obesity, dietary-treated
The use of transcranial motor evoked potentials (TCMEPs) to detect and hopefully prevent injury to the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves intraoperatively has increased greatly in recent years. It is well established that in addition to certain anesthetic agents, patient factors such as
In the later years of life, many polio survivors develop post-polio syndrome manifested by progressive muscular weakness. Previous work by the authors showed low IGF-I level in polio survivors compared to age-matched controls. IGF-I concentration tended to be lower in polio survivors who were older,
OBJECTIVE
Polio is predominantly an enteric viral infection that was progressively eradicated in the United States after the introduction of polio vaccine in the early 1950s. U.S. colorectal cancer rates have dropped steadily for individuals born between 1890 and 1950, but have been increasing for
OBJECTIVE
To assess the prevalence of dyslipidemia and other risk factors for coronary heart disease in a sample of polio survivors with and without postpoliomyelitis syndrome.
METHODS
Retrospective chart review.
METHODS
A multidisciplinary outpatient postpolio clinic.
METHODS
Eighty-eight
Post-poliomyelitis respiratory impairment is extremely common and entails considerable risk of morbidity and mortality. Respiratory muscle weakness is the primary etiological factor but post-poliomyelitis individuals (PPIs) also have a high incidence of scoliosis, obesity, sleep disordered
BACKGROUND
There has never been a nationally representative survey of medical students' personal health-related practices, although they are inherently of interest and may affect patient-counseling practices. This study evaluated the health practices and the vaccination status of first year
The induction or exacerbation of autoimmune diseases is a potential adverse effect of immunostimulating drugs. Vaccines have been suspected of such actions. Epidemiological studies, however, have so far failed to demonstrate any causal relationship between vaccination and autoimmune diseases,
The authors analysed 13 cases of West's syndrome (8 females and 5 males observed in a period of 30 months. In only one case there was history of perinatal trauma. In 7 children the psychomotor development was very good until the time of development of seizures, in 2 children hyperexcitability was
Male obese patient, aged 35 years with kyphoscoliosis due to poliomyelitis was admitted in respiratory and cardiac failure. Severe desaturations during sleep were found. After successful hospital treatment patient was submitted to the long-term oxygen therapy. Reduction of weight and smoking
Long-term non-invasive ventilation (NIV) was introduced in the 1980s, initially mainly for patients with poliomyelitis, muscular dystrophy (MD) or scoliosis. The obesity-hypoventilation syndrome has since become the commonest reason for referral to most centres providing home-NIV. Patients with MD
