The paper discusses the materials of investigations dealing with falls as an independent risk factor for fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It gives data on the incidence and possible risk factors of falls in this category of patients. According to the data obtained, the prevalence of falls in different countries varies from 10 to 50%, which may be related to differences in the methods of collecting information, and the relationship of the investigated factors with the risk of falls in patients with RA is uniquely unproven and calls for further investigations.

Introduction: Osteopenia is a condition which means the bone mineral density (BMD/BoneMineral Density) is lower than the normal peak BMD but not low enough to be classified as osteoporosis.Risk factors that can lead to osteopenia are smoking, drinking softdrinks, less activity, dieting,rarely affected sun and drinking alcohol. This study aimed to identify the risk factors of asteopenia onadolesences. Method: The study design used descriptive. The sample used was a high school studentMagetan total of 100 respondents were collected by random sampling. Data were collected withquestionniare and analyzed with procentage. Result: From the results of a study of 100 respondents wasobtained from less activity factors 5 respondents (5%), rarely exposed to sunlight obtained 32 respondents(32%), dieting factor obtained 34 respondents (34%) smoke got 49 respondents (49%), drinkalcohol obtained 18 respondents (18%),and drink softdrink obtained 40 respondents (40%) at risk forosteopenia. Discussion: From the results it can be concluded that smoking is the highest risk factor inthe incidence of osteopenia among adolescent. Nicotine contained in cigarettes can reduce absobsicalcium in the bones and cause a decrease in bone density. For any subsequent researchers are expectedto conduct research about the relationship of smoking with risk factors for adolescent osteopenia .

AbstractCongestive heart failure (HF) is a known risk factor of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). However, the relationship of the classification and severity of HF with CI-AKI remains under-explored. From January 2009 to April 2019, we recruited patients undergoing elective PCI who had complete pre- and post-operative creatinine data. According to the levels of ejection fraction (EF), HF was classified as HF with reduced EF (HFrEF) [EF < 40%], HF with mid-range EF (HFmrEF) [EF 40–49%] and HF with preserved EF (HFpEF) [EF ≥ 50%]. CI-AKI was defined as an increase of either 25% or 0.5 mg/dL (44.2 μmoI/L) in serum baseline creatinine level within 72 h following the administration of the contrast agent. A total of 3848 patients were included in the study; mean age 67 years old, 33.9% females, 48.1% with HF, and 16.9% with CI-AKI. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, HF was an independent risk factor for CI-AKI (OR 1.316, p value < 0.05). Among patients with HF, decreased levels of EF (OR 0.985, p value < 0.05) and elevated levels of N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (OR 1.168, p value < 0.05) were risk factors for CI-AKI. These results were consistent in subgroup analysis. Patients with HFrEF were more likely to develop CI-AKI than those with HFmrEF or HFpEF (OR 0.852, p value = 0.031). Additionally, lower levels of EF were risk factors for CI-AKI in the HFrEF and HFmrEF groups, but not in the HFpEF group. NT-proBNP was an independent risk factor for CI-AKI in the HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF groups. Elevated levels of NT-proBNP are independent risk factors for CI-AKI irrespective of the classification of HF. Lower levels of EF were risk factors for CI-AKI in the HFrEF and HFmrEF groups, but not in the HFpEF group.

Cardiovascular Risk Management

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have a 1.5 – 2.5 higher chance to develop cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which in turn represent the most important cause of mortality and the most frequent comorbidity in these patients. Chronic inflammation crucially contributes to that, either as an independent risk factor or as a modulator of traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, such as dyslipidemia and hypertension. The cardiovascular risk management (CVRM) is therefore essential in these patients. The implementation of it in the daily practice is quite challenging and requires a good networking between different specialists (rheumatologist, cardiologist, internist) and the general practitioners (GPs), and may get various forms of organization depending on region and locations.

Aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of AS and vascular stiffness are significantly associated with age. Elevated arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. The pathogenetic and clinical relationship of degenerative AS and aortic stiffness is poorly known. This review reflects the current understanding of the relationship between degenerative AS and aortic stiffness. The existing evidence on the effects of surgical and endovascular correction of the defect on aortic stiffness is described. The potential predictors of AS prognosis and outcomes of valve replacement are discussed. Unresolved issues and directions for further research are clarified.

SummaryThe retrospective observational study surveys the relationship between development of inhibitors in the treatment of haemophilia patients and risk factors such as changing FVIII products. A total of 119 patients were included in this study, 198 changes of FVIII products were evaluated. Results: During the observation period of 12 months none of the patients developed an inhibitor, which was temporally associated with a change of FVIII products. A frequent change of FVIII products didn’t lead to an increase in inhibitor risk. The change between plasmatic and recombinant preparations could not be confirmed as a risk factor. Furthermore, no correlation between treatment regimens, severity, patient age and comorbidities of the patients could be found.
