Abstract Background Hypertension is a common chronic disease with various complications and is a main contributing factor to cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to assess the association of diet quality, assessed by dietary diversity score (DDS), Mediterranean dietary score (MDS), diet quality index-international (DQI-I), and healthy eating index-2015 (HEI-2015) with the risk of hypertension. Methods This study recruited a total of 10,111 individuals (45.14% male) with mean age of 48.63 ± 9.57 years from the Fasa Cohort Study, Iran. Indices of diet quality, including MDS, HEI-2015, DQI-I, and DDS were computed by a 125-item Food Frequency Questionnaire. Participants were diagnosed as hypertensive if they had a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg, systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg,, or used antihypertensive drugs. Results Hypertension was prevalent in 28.3% of the population (21.59% in males and 33.74% in females). In the whole population, after adjustment for potential covariates, including daily energy intake, age, gender, physical activity, smoking, family history of hypertension, body mass index, and the level of education, higher adherence to the MDS (OR: 0.86, 95%CI = 0.75–0.99) and HEI-2015 (OR: 0.79, 95%CI = 0.68–0.90) was significantly associated with decreased risk of hypertension. The protective effect of HEI-2015 against hypertension remained significant for both males (OR: 0.80, 95%CI = 0.64–0.99) and females (OR: 0.78, 95%CI = 0.66–0.94), while, for MDS, this relationship disappeared in the subgroup analysis by gender. DQI-I and DDS were not related to the odds of hypertension. Conclusions Adhering to MDS and HEI-2015 diets could contribute to the prevention of hypertension.

Abstract Background Combination therapy with hydroxychloroquine and darunavir/ritonavir or lopinavir/ritonavir has been suggested as an approach to improve the outcome of patients with moderate/severe COVID-19 infection. Objectives To examine the safety of combination therapy with hydroxychloroquine and darunavir/ritonavir or lopinavir/ritonavir. Methods This was an observational cohort study of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia treated with hydroxychloroquine and darunavir/ritonavir or lopinavir/ritonavir. Clinical evaluations, electrocardiograms and the pharmacokinetics of hydroxychloroquine, darunavir and lopinavir were examined according to clinical practice and guidelines. Results Twenty-one patients received hydroxychloroquine with lopinavir/ritonavir (median age 68 years; 10 males) and 25 received hydroxychloroquine with darunavir/ritonavir (median age 71 years; 15 males). During treatment, eight patients (17.4%) developed ECG abnormalities. Ten patients discontinued treatment, including seven for ECG abnormalities a median of 5 (range 2–6) days after starting treatment. All ECG abnormalities reversed 1–2 days after interrupting treatment. Four patients died within 14 days. ECG abnormalities were significantly associated with age over 70 years, coexisting conditions (such as hypertension, chronic cardiovascular disease and kidney failure) and initial potential drug interactions, but not with the hydroxychloroquine concentration. Conclusions Of the patients with COVID-19 who received hydroxychloroquine with lopinavir or darunavir, 17% had ECG abnormalities, mainly related to age or in those with a history of cardiovascular disease.

Background:Cohort studies using nationwide health registers have shown an increased risk for affective and anxiety disorders in people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (1-3). Moreover, a nationwide cohort study demonstrated an increased risk for mental disorders in people with rheumatic diseases (4).Objectives:We aimed to investigate the risk for psychiatric hospitalization following a hospitalization for rheumatic disease.Methods:Using data from the Czech nationwide register of all-cause hospitalizations, we obtained 4 971 individuals hospitalized (index hospitalization) between 2004 and 2012 for rheumatic diseases - RA, spondyloarthritis (including AS, psoriatic arthritis and undifferentiated spondyloarthritis), systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerodermia, with no history of psychiatric and rheuma-related hospitalization in the previous 10 years from the index hospitalization. On these individuals, we randomly matched (on age, gender and year of index hospitalization) controls that were hospitalized in the same time period for a non-rheumatic disease and have no history of psychiatric and rheumatic hospitalization in the last 10 years from their index hospitalization, in the ratio of 1:5. We employed conditional logistic regression for assessing the risk for psychiatric hospitalization in the subsequent 3 years from the index hospitalization. To strengthen our results, we repeated the matching step 100 times and run the analysis on each resulting dataset separately, and pooled the results. The findings are expressed as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).Results:We identified an elevated risk for psychiatric (OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1; 1.78) and for affective disorders (OR = 2.19, 95% CI = 1.17; 4.1) in people hospitalized for rheumatic diseases. We did not find a statistically significant association with organic, psychotic and anxiety disorders.Conclusion:There is an increased risk for experiencing a psychiatric disorder in the period of 3 years after a rheuma-related hospitalization.References:[1]Shen C-C, Hu L-Y, Yang AC, Kuo BI-T, Chiang Y-Y, Tsai S-J.
