Hypertension is a degenerative disease whose prevalence is high and continues to increase over time. Polyherbal tablet have long been used by Indonesian people for hypertension drugs containing garlic (Alium sativum), jelawe (Belericae fructus), temu ireng rhizomes (Curcumae aeruginosae) and kapulaga (Amomi fructus) extracts. This study aims to determine the effect of polyherbal tablet on hypertensive patients. The subjects of 29 hypertensive patients participated in a open-randomized-without comparison-study for 6 weeks. Subjects were divided into 3 groups, each subject received polyherbal tablet with a dose of 2x600 mg (group 1), 2x1200 mg (group 2) and 2x2400 mg (group 3). Blood pressure was monitored on D-0, D-3, D-5, D-7, W-2, W-3, W-4, W-5 and W-6. There was a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure at the sixth week in all three treatment groups. The highest decrease in systolic blood pressure was in group 1 while diastolic blood pressure was in group 2 (-22.94 ± 5.871 and 13.13 ± 4.324 respectively). The lowest reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure occurred in the third group (-15.07 ± 3,519 and 8.98 ± 3,394 respectively). This study suggests that polyherbal tablet contains garlic (Alii sativi), jelawe (Belericae Fructus), temu ireng rhizome (Curcumae aeruginosae) and cardamom (Amomi Fructus) can reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

SummaryWe have previously shown abnormalities of haemostasis suggestive of intravascular coagulation in patients with malignant hypertension, a condition associated with retinopathy and renal fibrin deposition. To determine whether such abnormalities are specific to malignant hypertension, we have measured several haemostatic and haemorheological variables in 18 patients with malignant hypertension (Group 1), 18 matched healthy controls (Group 2), and 18 patients with non-malignant hypertension (Group 3) matched for renal pathology, blood pressure and serum creatinine with Group 1. Both Groups 1 and 3 had increased mean levels of fibrinogen, factor VIIIc, beta-thrombo- globulin, plasma viscosity and blood viscosity (corrected for haematocrit); and decreased mean levels of haematocrit, antithrombin III and platelet count. Mean levels of fast antiplasmin and alpha2-macroglobulin were elevated in Group 1 but not in Group 3. We conclude that most blood abnormalities are not specific to malignant hypertension; are also present in patients with non-malignant hypertension who have similar levels of blood pressure and renal damage; and might result from renal damage as well as promoting further renal damage by enhancing fibrin deposition. However increased levels of fibrinolytic inhibitors in malignant hypertension merit further investigation in relation to removal of renal fibrin.

The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of giving hydrotherapi foot soak in hypertensive patients. The study was conducted with one group pretestposttest design without a control group by measuring blood pressure (pretest) before being given an intervention in the form of foot soak hydrotherm against 15 people with hypertension in Banjar Sri Mandala, Dauhwaru Village, Jembrana Subregency. Then do the blood pressure measurement again (posttest) after finishing the intervention. After the study was completed, the results showed that before the hydrotherapi foot bath intervention, there were 0% of patients classified as normal, 13.32% in prehypertension category, 60.08% in hypertension category I and 26.60% in hypertension category II. After the intervention was given, there were 13.32% of the patients classified as normal, 66.68% in the prehypertension category, 20.00% in the first category of hypertension and no patients belonging to the second grade hypertension category. There is a decrease of 20-30 mmHg for systolic blood pressure and 0-10 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure after intervention. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the hydrotherapi foot bath is effectively used to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients in the Banjar Sri Mandala, Dauhwaru Village, Jembrana District.

Aim. Study of somatic and obstetric and gynecologic morbidity of women of the Kyrgyz Republic after Cesarean section. Methods. Retrospective cohort study was conducted in 2016 in Kyrgyz state medical institute of retraining and advanced training. Three regions of the Kyrgyz Republic were selected: Bishkek, Jalal-Abad and Issyk-Kul regions. 908 pregnant women after abdominal delivery were chosen as the subject of the study and divided into three groups: group 1 (Bishkek) - 305 pregnant women, group 2 (Jalal-Abad region) - 300 females, group 3 (Issyk-Kul region) - 303 females. The age was 15 to 49 years. The incidence of gynecologic and extragenital pathology and complications during previous pregnancies were studied. Results. Gynecologic pathology in past medical history was revealed in 15.8% of females, while women from group 1 are statistically significantly more likely to have gynecologic diseases than women from group 3. Females from group 2 had gynecologic pathology more rarely. In the structure of gynecologic incidence, sexually transmitted infections take the first place, cervical ectopy takes the second place and uterine fibroids - the third place. Extragenital pathology was detected in 38.2% of pregnant women. In its structure the first ranked place is taken by urinary tract diseases (12.3%), the second one - by infectious and parasitic diseases (11.6%), and the third place - by cardiovascular diseases (3.2%). Pathological course of pregnancy was also more frequent in group 1 than in group 2; there was no significant difference with group 3. Spontaneous abortion interrupted previous pregnancy in 19.8% of women, 5% had premature births, significantly more frequently in group 1, as well as preeclampsia. Conclusion. The most unfavorable region is the city of Bishkek, female residents of Jalal-Abad region are less susceptible to diseases; in general, gynecologic pathology was revealed in 15.8% of females, extragenital pathology - in 38.2% of pregnant women; pathological course of pregnancy was statistically more frequent in group 1 than in group 2, without significant difference with group 3.

Background: Blood pressure of ischemic stroke patients is a potentially modifiable clinical prognostic factor during acute period. However, BP changes dynamically over time and its temporal variation during acute stage has not received much attention. Methods: From a total of 3795 acute ischemic stroke patients who arrived within 24 hours after onset, we selected 2723 eligible patients who had more than 5 systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurements during 24 hours after arrival. To predict group SBPs for 8 time-points during the first 24 hours, a measured SBP reading was imputed to the nearest missing point. Trajectory grouping of acute stroke patients was estimated using PROC TRAJ, with delta BIC and prespecified modeling parameters. Early neurological deterioration (END) was captured during admission and recurrent vascular events was collected through a structured telephone interview at 1 years after. Results: Of the included cases, mean age at onset was 68 ± 13 year-old. NIHSS score at arrival was median 4 [2, 10] and recanalization treatment was done in 598 (22%). Hypertension was diagnosed in 1930 (71%). Based on 48,445 SBP readings during the first 24 hours after arrival, stroke cases were grouped into 5 distinct SBP trajectories as shown in the Figure: Group 1 (low BP), 17%; Group 2 (stable BP), 41%; Group 3 (rapidly stabilized SBP), 11%; Group 4 (higher SBP), 23%; Group 5 (extremely high SBP without stabilization), 8%. Trajectory grouping was independently associated with END and recurrent vascular events (see Figure). Group 1 had low odds of having END (adjusted OR [95% CI]; 0.62 [0.44-0.87], but Group 4 and 5 showed higher probability of having END (1.34 [1.04-1.73] and 1.76 [1.22-2.51]) and recurrent vascular events until 1 year (1.28 [1.00-1.64] and 1.82 [1.29-2.55]). However, Group 3 had comparable risks with Group 2. Conclusion: It was documented that SBP may successfully grouped into distinct trajectories, which are associated with outcomes after stroke.

Abstract Background Aim of this study is to investigate a possible association of hypoglycemic episodes and arterial hypertension. We hypothesize that hospitalized insulin-treated diabetes patients with hypertensive crisis have more hypoglycemic episodes than their counterparts without hypertensive crisis on admission. Methods In a prospective, observational cohort study, 65 insulin-treated diabetes patients (type 1, type 2, type 3c) were included in Group 1, when a hypertensive crisis was present, as control patients in Group 2 without hypertensive crisis or hypoglycemia, in Group 3, when a symptomatic hypoglycemia was present on admission. All patients were subjected to open-label continuous glucose monitoring, 24-h blood-pressure- and Holter electrocardiogram recordings, and to laboratory tests including plasma catecholamines. Results 53 patients, thereof 19 Group-1, 19 Group-2, 15 Group-3 patients, completed this study. Group-1 patients had the highest maximum systolic blood pressure, a higher daily cumulative insulin dose at admission, a higher body-mass index, and a higher plasma norepinephrine than control patients of Group 2. Group-3 patients had more documented hypoglycemic episodes (0.8 ± 0.5 per 24 h) than Group-2 patients (0.2 ± 0.3 per 24 h), however, they were not different to the ones in Group-1 patients (0.4 ± 0.4 per 24 h). Plasma norepinephrine and mean arterial blood pressure were higher Group-1 and Group-3 patients than in control patients of Group 2. At discharge, the daily cumulative insulin dose was reduced in Group-1 (− 18.4 ± 24.9 units) and in Group-3 patients (− 18.6 ± 22.7 units), but remained unchanged in Group-2 control patients (− 2.9 ± 15.6 units). Conclusions An association between hypoglycemic events and uncontrolled hypertension was found in this study.

Abstract Background Although HIV-related deaths have decreased dramatically following the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV infection itself causes increased morbidity and mortality for both non-AIDS-related events or chronic inflammation and immune activation. The use of certain antiretroviral drugs can contribute to this process. Methods We investigated 26 potential biomarkers in serum samples from HIV-1 infected patients virologically suppressed under ART. The main objective of our study was to evaluate if virological suppression achieved with a triple drug regimen containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate co-formulated with emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) as backbone, could correlate with a better immunological and inflammatory profile in relation to the third class of antiretroviral drug administered. The eligible patients were then divided into 3 groups in relation to the third drug associated with TDF/FTC: nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) (Group 1, n = 16), protease inhibitors (PI) (Group 2, n = 17) and integrase inhibitors (INI) (Group 3, n = 16). Results Inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were more represented in Group 2 than in Group 3 (IL-1Ra, p = 0.013; IL-12p70 p = 0.039; TNF-α p = 0.041; IL-8, p = 0.027; MIP1 β, p = 0.033). Eotaxin showed lower levels in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (p = 0.010), while IP-10 was significantly lower in Group 1 compared to both Group 2 and Group 3 (p = 0.003 and p = 0.007, respectively). Conclusions Our results seem to discourage the administration of PI as a third drug in a virologically effective antiretroviral regimen, as its use is linked to the detection of higher levels of pro-inflammatory mediators in comparison with INI and NNRTI.
