Optimal Treatment Strategy

A szerző összefoglalja a stabil angina pectoris optimális kezelésével kapcsolatos evidenciákat. Az invazív kezelési stratégia (katéterterápia) térnyerése a stabil angina pectoris esetében is megfigyelhető. Számos országban – így hazánkban is – a percutan intervenciók száma meghaladja a műtéti beavatkozások gyakoriságát. A percutan intervenció, illetve a revascularisatiós műtét helyének meghatározása az angina pectoris kezelésében igen fontos és sokszor vitatott klinikai probléma. A szerző áttekinti a lehetséges három kezelési mód (gyógyszeres kezelés, percutan intervenció, revascularisatiós műtét) eredményességét vizsgáló randomizált tanulmányokat, illetve az ezekből levonható következtetéseket. A rendelkezésre álló adatok azt igazolják, hogy – a diagnózis objektív módszerrel is alátámasztott felállítása után első lépésben – a rizikófaktorok korrekciója, az életmódrendezés és az optimális gyógyszeres kezelés a választandó kezelési stratégia. Optimális gyógyszeres kezelésnek tekintjük a statin-, aszpirin-, ACE-gátló-terápiát és a tünetek befolyásolására irányuló antianginás kezelést, amelyben a béta-blokkoló alkalmazásának elsőrendű jelentősége van. A percutan intervenció első terápiás eszközként történő alkalmazása nem indokolt, mivel nincs adat arra, hogy javítaná az életkilátásokat, illetőleg a beavatkozással megelőzhető lenne a szívinfarktus. Amennyiben a panaszok gyógyszeres kezeléssel nem vagy nem eléggé befolyásolhatók, indokolt a revascularisatio (percutan intervenció vagy műtét) elvégzése, mivel e beavatkozásokkal a gyógyszeres kezelésnél jobban javítható a funkcionális stádium. A revascularisatiós műtét bizonyos esetekben (pl. főtörzsszűkület, háromérbetegség és csökkent balkamra-funkció) a panaszok kedvező befolyásolásán túlmenően a betegek életkilátásait is javítja. A rendelkezésre álló kezelési lehetőségek optimális megválasztása nemcsak a betegek számára fontos, hanem komoly gazdasági jelentősége is van.

Background: Lower limb cellulitis poses a significant burden for the Irish healthcare system. Accurate diagnosis is difficult, with a lack of validated evidence-based tools and treatment guidelines, and difficulties distinguishing cellulitis from its imitators. It has been suggested that around 30% of suspected lower limb cellulitis is misdiagnosed. An audit of 132 patients between May 2017 and May 2018 identified a pattern of misdiagnosis in approximately 34% of this cohort. Objective: The aim of this pilot project was to develop a streamlined service for those presenting to the emergency department with red legs/suspected cellulitis, through introduction of the ‘Red Leg RATED’ tool for clinicians. Method: The tool was developed and introduced to emergency department clinicians. Individuals (n=24) presenting with suspected cellulitis over 4 weeks in 2018 were invited to participate in data gathering. Finally, clinician questionnaire feedback regarding the tool was evaluated. Results: Fourteen participants consented, 6 female and 8 male with mean age of 65 years. The tool identified 50% (n=7) as having cellulitis, of those 57% (n=4) required admission, 43% (n=3) were discharged. The remainder who did not have cellulitis (n=7) were discharged. Before introduction of the tool, all would typically have been admitted to hospital for further assessment and management of suspected lower limb cellulitis. Overall, 72% (n=10) of patients who initially presented with suspected cellulitis were discharged, suggesting positive impact of the tool. Clinician feedback suggested all were satisfied with the tool and contents. Conclusion: The Red Leg RATED tool is user friendly and impacts positively on diagnosis treatment and discharge. Further evaluation is warranted.

Diagnosis and optimal treatment of urological conditions in pregnant have lots of controversy due to a lack of objective and evidence-based data. This is equally true in for acute gestational pyelonephritis patients, particularly in the context of indications for upper urinary tract ‘de-obstruction’/ draining, and catheter stay in situ time. This review is a compilation of current scientific data concerning upper urinary tract draining in patients with acute gestational pyelonephritis, as well analysis of our own data and results.
