Background Calcitriol has long been used as the main therapy in renal osteodystrophy, but the efficacy of the oral route is not always as high as expected. Objective To asses the safety and efficacy of intraperitoneal calcitriol in infants undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Patients and Methods PD patients on oral calcitriol therapy, with serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) >1000 pg/mL during the previous 3 months of treatment, were switched to intraperitoneal calcitriol therapy, 1 μg twice per week. Dose was increased to 1 μg three times per week if PTH remained >1000 pg/mL, and was later readjusted. Target PTH was 200 – 300 pg/mL according DOQI guidelines. Statistics: All results are expressed as mean ± SE. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to evaluate differences in measurements for each pair of values. The confidence interval for differences between population medians was 96.9%. A p value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results Six male children, mean age 17 ± 3.86 months, completed a 12-month follow-up. Mean pretreatment PTH was 1654 ± 209 pg/mL. Mean PTH at months 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 was 1448 ± 439*, 1277 ± 723, 910 ± 704, 582 ± 282*, and 465 ± 224* pg/mL, respectively (*p < 0.05). Twelve hypercalcemic and 10 hyperphosphatemic episodes were successfully treated. Conclusion Infants on PD who fail to respond to oral calcitriol therapy can be safely treated with intraperitoneal administration of active vitamin D.

Background: The objective of the present study was to monitor the disease activity of Takayasu arteritis clinically by the Indian Takayasu Activity Score 2010 (ITAS) and ultra sonographically by Colour Doppler Ultrasound-Kolkata (CDUS-K) Score after 12months of treatment with methotrexate and steroid, and to find the correlation between these two scores.Methods: Around 25 Angiographically proven Takayasu arteritis patients were treated with Methotrexate (15mg weekly) and Steroids (1mg/kg/day for 6weeks and then tapered) for 12months. Wilcoxon matched pair signed rank test was done to assess the change in ITAS 2010 with treatment. A correlation study was done between ITAS 2010 and change in CDUS-K scores at the end of 12months.Results: By Wilcoxon’s matched pair signed rank test, a non-significant change of ITAS 2010 (p=0.066) was observed at the end of 12months, which means that the treatment helps to control the disease progression by preventing a significant increase in ITAS 2010. Strong correlation (correlation coefficient of 0.878, 95% CI = 0.602 to 1.000) was found between the ITAS 2010 and change in CDUS-K scores at 12months follow up.Conclusions: The combination of Methotrexate and steroids helps to control the disease progression in Takayasu arteritis. Colour doppler ultrasonography may serve as a reliable and safe surrogate disease activity measure at follow up, as it avoids the radioactivity exposure and invasiveness of angiography.

Hypertension is a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke. This study was conducted to determine the effect of abdominal breathing on blood pressure in a hypertensive patient using the non-pharmacological treatment. This study used a pre-experimental method, which comprises of the one-group pre-test/post-test design. A total of 39 hypertensive respondents taken from a population in Wonokromo, Surabaya were chosen by using simple random sampling technique. Data was analyzed by Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, with an assigned significance level of ɑ=0.05. The results of this study showed that before abdominal breathing, the systolic blood pressure was 146.41 mmHg, whereas the diastolic blood pressure was 117.43 mmHg. After performing abdominal relaxation, it was 135.64 mmHg and 87.95 mmHg, respectively. Moreover, the results of the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed a p-value of 0.000, illustrating that the results of blood pressure measurement were different before and after conducting the abdominal breathing. Therefore, abdominal breathing is suspected of having the ability to decrease the blood pressure.
