Abstract Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are common surgeries performed in elderly patients with osteoarthritis. Limited data address the clinical significance of peri-operative atrial fibrillation (AF) in these patients. Purpose This study aimed to determine whether pre-existing or new onset AF is associated with increased 1-year mortality rates. Methods 280 patients over the age of 60 undergoing THA or TKA with peri-operative AF and 280 control matched patients were retrospectively identified, and their files reviewed. The primary endpoint was 1-year mortality from the date of the surgery. Results Of the 280 patients with peri-operative AF, 37 had new onset AF with a 1-year mortality rate of 10.8%. This mortality was significantly higher in patients with new-onset AF compared to patients without AF or patients with previous AF (10.8%, vs. 1.1% and 2.5%, respectively; p=0.005). On multivariate analysis, this difference remained significant after adjustment for risk factors associated with mortality. Variables associated with mortality Characteristic P value Adjusted Odds Ratio 95% confidence interval When AF type is included:   Chronic renal failure 0.004 7.64 1.91–30.64   Timing of AF (New onset) 0.005 9.95 1.99–49.77 When AF timing is included:   Chronic renal failure 0.005 7.47 1.83–30.40   Timing of AF (post-op) 0.0.1 7.59 1.62–35.62 AF, atrial fibrillation. Conclusion One-year mortality in elderly patients undergoing TKA or THA is significantly increased in patients with new postoperative AF. These patients warrant increased clinical surveillance following surgery.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are common surgeries performed in elderly patients with osteoarthritis. Limited data address the clinical significance of perioperative atrial fibrillation (AF) in these patients. This study aimed to determine whether preexisting or new-onset AF is associated with increased 1-year all-cause mortality rates in the elderly population. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> 280 patients over the age of 60 undergoing THA or TKA with perioperative AF and 280 control-matched patients were retrospectively identified, and their files reviewed. The primary end point was 1-year all-cause mortality from the date of the surgery. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of the 280 patients with perioperative AF, 37 had new-onset AF with a 1-year all-cause mortality rate of 10.8%. This mortality was significantly higher in patients with new-onset AF compared to patients without AF or patients with previous AF (10.8% vs. 1.1% and 2.5%, respectively; <i>p</i> = 0.005). On multivariate analysis, this difference remained significant after adjustment for risk factors associated with all-cause mortality. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> One-year all-cause mortality in elderly patients undergoing TKA or THA is significantly increased in the patients that develop new postoperative AF. These patients warrant increased clinical surveillance following surgery.

Introduction. All over the world and in Russia, the number of patients requiring dialysis therapy and kidney transplantation for chronic renal failure in the end-stage of the renal disease is increasing. In many countries of the world, the number of dialysis patients over 60 years of age accounts for 30 to 45% of all patients with chronic renal failure. Meantime, taking into account the improved methods for early diagnosis of chronic renal failure and the treatment methods for chronic kidney disease, including the renal replacement therapy, we can expect an increase in the number of elderly potential kidney transplant recipients. The likelihood of receiving a renal graft in elderly patients is significantly lower than in young recipients. Elderly patients are known to have a higher risk of death while waiting for a kidney transplant due to higher morbidity and lethality on dialysis. For this reason, the urgency of increasing the availability of kidney transplantation in elderly patients is growing over time. One of the solutions can be the use of kidneys from suboptimal donors with a far from ideal graft quality, but which could meet the needs for transplant care of the older age group of patients. The older age of a recipient entails a certain risk of developing a graft dysfunction due to the presence of concomitant diseases, and the potential risk increases even more with kidney transplants from expanded criteria donors. If a reduced functional reserve of kidneys removed from donors with extended criteria is identified, two-kidney transplantation is possible, which provides fairly good long-term results. To reduce the risk of a kidney graft loss, a careful selection of recipients is necessary, taking into account their co-morbidities, including the presence of urological diseases that impair the function of the upper and lower urinary tract. Their timely identification and correction makes it possible to raise the availability of kidney transplantation for elderly patients and improve its results. This review presents the results of the studies conducted in various world transplant centers, covers the mortality rates, kidney graft and recipient survival rates.The study purpose was to summarize the actual data and the results of the study on kidney transplantation in elderly patients with urological pathology.

Introduction/Objective. Clinical risk stratification of patients hospitalized due to acute heart failure (AHF) applying B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), troponin I (TnI), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) biochemical markers can contribute to early diagnosis of AHF and lower mortality rates. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of biomarkers (BNP, TnI, and hsCRP) and co-morbidities concerning one-year mortality in patients with AHF. Methods. Clinical group comprised 124 consecutive unselected patients, age 60?80 years, treated at the Coronary Care Unit of the Niska Banja Institute, Nis. The patients were monitored for one year after the discharge. During the first 24 hours after admission, BNP, TnI, and hsCRP were measured in fasting serum. Results. Total one-year mortality was 29.8%. The levels of serum BNP were significantly higher in the group of non-survivors compared to the group of survivors (1353.8 ?} 507.8 vs. 718.4 ?} 387.6 pg/mL, p < 0.001). We identified several clinical and biochemical prognostic risk factors by univariate and multivariate analysis. Independent predictors of one-year mortality were the following: BNP, TnI, depression, hypotension, chronic renal failure, ejection fraction, and right-ventricle systolic pressure. Conclusion. The presence of BNP and TnI biomarkers and several co-morbidities such as depression or chronic renal failure have significant influence on one-year mortality in patients with AHF.

Chronic renal failure is a disease that results in a progressive and gradual decline in renal function that requires hemodialysis therapy. In Indonesia, there were 198,575 patients chronic kidney failure in 2018. The number of undergoing hemodialysis therapy is 132,142 patients. The hemodialysis routine causes tension, anxiety, stress and depression in patient. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between coping mechanisms and stress adaptation in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy ant Waled Hospital. The method of this research was descriptive correlational with a cross sectional approach. This research used purposive sampling technique amounted to 79 respondents. The instrument of this research was a questionnaire Jaloweic Coping Scale (JCS) and stress adaptation questionnaire. Data analysis used the spearman rank test. Place of research at Waled Hospital, Cirebon Regency during July 2020.  The result showed that most respondents had an adaptive category as many as 55 adaptation showed the results of most respondents had an adaptive category as many as 55 respondents with a percentage (69.6%). The spearman rank test showed p value <α and r<1, which means that there was a moderate an positive relationship between coping mechanisms and stress adaptation (p value=0,000 < α=0.05 and r=0.593). The is a relationship between coping mechanisms and stress adaptation in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy. The better coping mechanism is carries out, the adaptive stress that arises will be adaptive so that the patient can adjust and be able to cope with the stress he is experiencing.

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia affecting humans. It is an electrical disturbance that leads to rapid, disorganized, and asynchronous contraction of the atrial muscle. In clinical practice, it accounts for approximately one-third of hospitalizations for cardiac rhythm disturbances. The incidence of AF increases from less than 0.1% per year in those under 40 years old to exceed 1.5% per year in women and 2% per year in men older than 80 years. Aim of the Work: to discuss the effect of variation in amiodarone use (including dosage and duration) on dysrhythmia recurrence in patients with new-onset AF in ICU. Patients and Methods This was a prospective observational study conducted over 6 months, 60 patients who fulfilled inclusion criteria were included in the study divided in two groups according to amiodarone dosage, each group is 30 patients: Group (A): received a loading dose of amiodarone followed by an infusion (1200mg amiodarone). Group (B): received a loading dose of amiodarone not followed by an infusion (300mg amiodarone). Results a significant positive correlation was observed between level of C-reactive protein (CRP) and the rate of AF recurrence. As regard effect of CRP on AF recurrence; in AF recurrent patients, mean is (191±77.3) with range from 15 to 352 which significantly differed from Non-recurrent AF patients, mean is (89±63) with range from 20 to 223 (p value &lt;0.001). AF recurrence was higher in group (B) than group (A),. In group (A) 8 patients had recurrent AF representing 26.7 % and in group (B) 19 patients had AF recurrence representing 63.3% (p value =0.004). Conclusion Patients with new-onset AF in (ICU) who are treated with amiodarone should receive a loading dose, immediately followed by an infusion.
