A Prospective Study

Poisoning is one of the most common reasons for visiting the emergency department in many countries, and the pattern varies from countries to countries and time to time. To compare the etiology and outcome of poisoning patients in different gender and age groups, we conducted a prospective study at the emergency departments of two medical centers in southern Taiwan between January 2001 and December 2002. All cases of poisoning, excluding patients diagnosed as cases of alcohol or food poisoning, were included, and relevant information was collected. There were 1512 cases of poisoning observed with a male to female ratio of 1:1.2 (684/828). Overall, drugs (49.9%) were the main agents involved, and a suicidal attempt (66.1%) was the predominant etiology. A total of 63 fatalities (4.2%) were observed and pesticides, especially paraquat, resulted in most fatalities. Patients aged 19–30 years constituted the most cases, and significant differences in exposure agents, causes, and fatality rates were found among different age and gender groups. The results are compatible with the trend reported by other Asian countries. This study also shows important differences existing in poisoning patients of different age and gender groups. Therefore, different poisoning-prevention strategies should be applied to different groups.

Human Finger

The human finger plays an extremely important role in tactile perception, but little is known about how age and gender affect its biophysical properties and their role in tactile perception. We combined studies on contact characteristics, mechanical properties and surface topography to understand age and gender effects on the human finger. The values obtained regarding contact characteristics (i.e. adhesive force) were significantly higher for women than for men. As for mechanical properties (i.e. Young's modulus E ), a significant and positive correlation with age was observed and found to be higher for women. A positive correlation was observed between age and the arithmetic mean of surface roughness for men. However, an inverse age effect was highlighted for women. The age and gender effects obtained have never been reported previously in the literature. These results open new perspectives for understanding the weakening of tactile perception across ages and how it differs between men and women.

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.
