A Prospective Study

Aim. The aim of the study was a clinical assessment of the integrated determination of predictors of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (LVA) in patients with ventricular extrasystole (VE) without structural changes in the heart to predict the development of cardiovascular disease in a prospective study. Material and methods. From 1997 to 2014 199 patients with neurocirculatory dystonia (NCD), complicated with VE II-V class EE at the age of 18-35 years (mean 27.3-2.6 years) were observed in District Military Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, City Hospital named after St. Martyr Elizabeth. All patients, in addition to a general clinical examination, determined late potentials of the ventricles (LPV), QT interval variability (QTd), heart rate turbulence (HRT), and also indicators reflecting the possible mechanism of VE development. Results. The results of the study showed that in patients with NCD complicated by VE, the detection of indicators reflecting the presence of VE caused by the mechanisms of early post-depolarization and re-entry is a predictor of the development of coronary heart disease (CHD) and hypertension (HB). The positive prognostic significance of the indicators showing the presence of VE with these development mechanisms for the development of CHD and HB averaged 74% and 44% respectively, and with the appointment of сlass III drugs for elimination of VE and (or) development of unstable ventricular tachycardia, the risk of developing CHD increased to an average of 93%. Identification of NDC patients with indicators reflecting the presence of VE due to delayed post-depolarization is a predictor of the development of gastrointestinal tract (GT) diseases with positive prognostic significance, averaging 61%. Positive prognostic significance with respect to the development of CHD, HB, GT diseases for the detected LPV, QTd > 80 ms, pathological values of HRT VE did not exceed 30%. Indicators and predictors, which characterize the mechanism of development of VE and the risk of LVA occurrence in patients with NCD complicated by VE, were highly correlated (r > 0.50) with risk factors for cardiovascular and gastrointestinal system diseases.

Background The determination of primary or secondary dengueinfection using hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test is time-con-suming. The IgG to IgM ratio which can be obtained earlier wasused by several studies to differentiate secondary from primaryinfection, but they still reported various cut-off points.Objective To find the diagnostic value and best cut off point ofIgG to IgM ratio for predicting secondary dengue infection.Methods This was a prospective study carried out between July2003 and June 2004. Children with suspected dengue hemor-rhagic fever (DHF) were tested for HI during acute and convales-cent phase. The IgG and IgM titer were examined during the acutephase using ELISA method.Results Sixty-two children were recruited, 48 with secondary in-fection and 14 with primary infection. The prevalence of second-ary infection was 77%. The best cut off point of the IgG to IgM ratioto predict secondary infection was >1.1 with sensitivity of 87.5%,specificity 92.9%, likelihood ratio 12.3, and post test probability97.7%.Conclusion The IgG to IgM ratio of >1.1 is a good predictor forsecondary infection

Background: Oligohydramnios is a severe and common complication of pregnancy and its incidence is reported to be around 1 to 5% of total pregnancies. The aim of this study was to perinatal outcome of oligohydramnios (AFI <5) at term.Methods: A prospective study was conducted in which 200 patients at term with oligohydramnios AFI <5 cm with intact membranes were analyzed for perinatal outcome.Results: There were increased chances of FHR decelerations, thick meconium, increased LSCS, low Apgar score at 5 minutes, birth weight <2.5 kg, admission to NICU in pregnancy with oligohydramnios.Conclusions: An amniotic fluid index (AFI) of <5 cm detected after 37 completed weeks of gestation is an indicator of poor perinatal outcome. Determination of AFI can be used as an adjunct to other fetal surveillance methods that helps to identify those infants at risk of poor perinatal outcome.
