Ecological Variables

Background: Aging changes are shown from the sub-atomic to the organismic level; ecological variables influence trial perceptions; optional impacts convolute clarification of essential systems; and correctly characterized, effectively quantifiable biomarkers are inadequate. Nobody bringing together hypothesis may exist, since the components of aging could be very distinct in various living beings, tissues, and cells. Method: This is a descriptive-observational study, which is aimed to evaluate the influence of aging on sexual desire in a male. The target population of this study is the men aged 50 years old and older in Lapangan Puputan Niti Mandala Renon, Denpasar Selatan, Bali from April 2018 to mei 2018 were involved in this research. Instruments that were used in this research is The Decreased Sexual Desire Screener questionnaire to assess the sexual function in older men. Result: This study showed that among 135 respondents aged 50 years old and older, through a questionnaire, most of the respondents stated that they have changing sexual desire. But, most of them are from the age group of 55-60 years old and 61-65 years old. People in the group of 50-55 years old less likely to experience a decrease in sexual desire compared to the older group. Conclusion: Older age influence sexual function in men.

Abstract : Nowadays there is an increasing prevalence of elder people all around the world, including Indonesia. With increasing age, several health problems occurred, such as the influence of older age to sexual desire which is commonly occurred in elder men. This is a descriptive-observational study, which is aimed to evaluate the influence of aging to sexual desire in male. 57 men aged 60-74 years on the area of Prof Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital from November 2013 to January 2014 were involved in this research. Instruments that were used in this research are ADAM (Androgen Deficiency in Aging Male) questionnaire and AMS (Aging Male Symptoms) questionnaire to assess the sexual function in elder men. This study showed that among 57 respondents aged 60-74 years old, through ADAM and AMS questionnaire, 28 (49%) subjects had mild orgasm dysfunction, 27 (47,4%) subjects had moderate decrease in sexual coitus, 24 (42%) subjects had mild decrease in sexual desire, and 29 (51%) subjects had mild erection dysfunction. Older age influence the sexual function in men. Further  studies using larger samples and complete research procedures, including laboratory examination, are needed to assess the influence of older age to male sexual desire.

Context: The Testosterone Trials are a coordinated set of seven trials to determine the efficacy of T in symptomatic men ≥65 years old with unequivocally low T levels. Initial results of the Sexual Function Trial showed that T improved sexual activity, sexual desire, and erectile function. Objective: To assess the responsiveness of specific sexual activities to T treatment; to relate hormone changes to changes in sexual function; and to determine predictive baseline characteristics and T threshold for sexual outcomes. Design: A placebo-controlled trial. Setting: Twelve academic medical centers in the United States. Participants: A total of 470 men ≥65 years of age with low libido, average T <275 ng/dL, and a partner willing to have sexual intercourse at least twice a month. Methods: Men were assigned to take T gel or placebo for 1 year. Sexual function was assessed by three questionnaires every 3 months: the Psychosexual Daily Questionnaire, the Derogatis Interview for Sexual Function, and the International Index of Erectile Function. Results: Compared with placebo, T administration significantly improved 10 of 12 measures of sexual activity. Incremental increases in total and free T and estradiol levels were associated with improvements in sexual activity and desire, but not erectile function. No threshold T level was observed for any outcome, and none of the 27 baseline characteristics predicted responsiveness to T. Conclusions: In older men with low libido and low T levels, improvements in sexual desire and activity in response to T treatment were related to the magnitude of increases in T and estradiol levels, but there was no clear evidence of a threshold effect.

To study the wearing of spectacles in different occupations we sent a questionnaire to all 26- and 46-year-old people (altogether 3 337 subjects) in the Jyväskylä district. 69% in the older age group and 42% in the younger age group had spectacles. Women wore spectacles more often than men. There was a correlation between the use of spectacles and accurate occupational close work. The proportion of those wearing spectacles was highest in subjects working, at least partly, with Visual Display Units (VDU). Farmers, industrial workers and service personnel wore spectacles less often than those in other occupations. In the older age group 70% and in the younger age group 11% of the subjects considered that they do not have good near vision without spectacles. Of those who used spectacles, 90% in the older and 52% in the younger age group reported that their near vision is better with spectacles than without them. In both age groups there was a positive correlation between the use of spectacles and the duration of daily close work. Subjective ocular symptoms occurred equally in different close work categories in the younger age group. In the older age group, those doing VDU work and reading and writing work had less symptoms of eye problems than those in other job categories.

Abstract Objectives Cervical component of thymus is noted more in children and young adults than in older age group. CT texture (lobules of soft tissue interspersed with fat), similarity with CT density of mediastinal thymus and continuity with mediastinal thymus on sagittal/coronal images, are given as the criteria for diagnosis of the cervical thymus. But CT densities of cervical and mediastinal components of the thymus may vary. The purpose of our study was to compare CT densities of cervical and mediastinal parts of the thymus, in cases where ultrasonography correlation was available. Methods We retrospectively identified 22 patients who had undergone CT between May 2015 and May 2017 and in whom ultrasonography (USG) correlation was available. CT densities of cervical and mediastinal components of thymus were measured. Results CT density of cervical thymus is lower than the CT density of mediastinal thymus by ~ 25 HU. There is a moderate positive correlation between CT densities of cervical and mediastinal parts of the thymus. CT densities of both cervical and mediastinal thymus were found to reduce with age, but the reduction was statistically significant only in the cervical thymus in this study. Conclusions CT densities of cervical and mediastinal components of the thymus may vary, with CT density of cervical thymus being lower. There is a positive correlation between CT densities of cervical and mediastinal parts of the thymus. CT density of cervical thymus reduces with age. Understanding these may help avoid confusion on CT and avoid the need for correlative USG, saving time and effort.

The aim of this study was to examine the exercise intensity during the swimming, cycling, and running legs of nondraft legal, Olympic-distance triathlons in well-trained, age-group triathletes. Seventeen male triathletes completed incremental swimming, cycling, and running tests to exhaustion. Heart rate (HR) and workload corresponding to aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, maximal workloads, and maximal HR (HRmax) in each exercise mode were analyzed. HR and workload were monitored throughout the race. The intensity distributions in three HR zones for each discipline and five workload zones in cycling and running were quantified. The subjects were then assigned to a fast or slow group based on the total race time (range, 2 h 07 min–2 h 41 min). The mean percentages of HRmax in the swimming, cycling, and running legs were 89.8% ± 3.7%, 91.1% ± 4.4%, and 90.7% ± 5.1%, respectively, for all participants. The mean percentage of HRmax and intensity distributions during the swimming and cycling legs were similar between groups. In the running leg, the faster group spent relatively more time above HR at anaerobic threshold (AnT) and between workload at AnT and maximal workload. In conclusion, well-trained male triathletes performed at very high intensity throughout a nondraft legal, Olympic-distance triathlon race, and sustaining higher intensity during running might play a role in the success of these athletes.

Background:Myositis-specific antibodies (MSA) are highly specific and useful to classify patients as having syndromes with distinct clinical features and prognosis. MSA are almost always mutually exclusive and quite specific, adding value as a useful biomarker for diagnosis. Although individual autoantibodies aren’t sensitive enough to detect the full spectrum of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), the sensitivity of a myositis panel is increasing as more autoantibodies are discovered, and as better assays become available.Objectives:We aimed to analyze the usefulness of a myositis-specific immunoblot for the diagnosis of IIM in a hospital cohort from January 2019 to December 2020. We also seek to correlate immunological findings with the risk of associated interstitial lung disease (ILD), cancer, or death.Methods:Retrospective single-center observational study conducted in a Spanish tertiary hospital. In patients with high clinical suspicion of IIM, a myositis immunoblot was performed including Jo1, PL-7, PL-12, EJ, SRP, Mi2, Ku, MDA-5, TIF1-γ, HMGCR, PM-Scl and Ro52 antibodies. The demographic characteristics, the risk of ILD, cancer and death were analyzed.Results:In a cohort of 313 patients with high suspicion of IIM, 87 patients (27.8%) presented a positive MSA (MSA+ve). The mean age at diagnosis was 56.7±16.9 years, with no significant differences between MSA+ve and MSA-ve (p=0.597). Most of the patients were women with significant differences between both groups (80.5% MSA+ve vs 68.1% MSA-ve, p=0.030).IIM were classified as antisynthetase syndrome (ARS) (38%), dermatomyositis (DM) (31%), overlap myopathy (OM) (16.9%) and necrotizing myopathy (NM) (14.1%) according to the manifestations and MSA found (Jo1, PL-12, PL-7, EJ in ARS; Mi-2, MDA-5 and TIF1-γ in DM; Ku and PM-Scl in OM; HMGCR and SRP in NM). The most frequent MSA were anti-Jo1 (16.9%), TIF1-γ (15.5%), Ku (12.7%), Mi-2 (9.9%), PL-7 (9.9%), HMCGR (8.5%), PL-12 (7%), MDA-5 (5.6%), SRP (5.6%) and EJ (4.2%). The presence of Ro52 associated with other MSA was found in 20 patients (22.9%).ILD was the most frequent manifestation (45.2% of the MSA+ve). Non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) was the most frequent ILD (39.5%), followed by usual interstitial pneumonia (34.2%). The main risk factors associated with IIM-ILD were some subtypes of the MSAs (p<0.001), the association of Ro52 (p<0.001), and older age (p=0.027). Among the IIM, ARS and OM (p<0.001) were more frequently associated with IIM-ILD. The MSAs most associated with IIM-ILD were Jo1, PL-7, PM-Scl, Ku and SRP (p<0.001).Cancer was found in 9.6% of MSA+ve patients. The most frequent tumors were gynecological (37.5%), followed by gastrointestinal (25%) and breast cancer (12.5%). Factors associated with cancer were age (p=0.010), TIF1-γ (p<0.001), SRP (p=0.004), PL-12 (p=0.013), PL-7 (p=0.047) and HMGCR (p=0.027).The mortality of these patients was 3.5%. There were no differences regarding MSA+ve/-ve (p = 0.911). However, MDA-5 (p=0.033) and older age (p=0.001) were associated with higher mortality. There were no significant differences between the IIM classifications, the associated SAD, the presence of cancer or ILD. However, longer follow-up periods and future studies are necessary to confirm these results.Conclusion:The use of a myositis blot allowed classifying, stratifying the risk of ILD, the risk of cancer and the risk of mortality in IIM. IIM-ILD was the most frequent complication, usually manifested as NSIP. The associated risk factors were ARS, OM, some MSAs, Ro52+ and older age. Cancer was a serious and frequent manifestation in these patients, especially in patients with TIF1-γ and other MSAs, so it is essential to know the risk factors and perform an early screening, especially in older patients.A better knowledge of the serological profiles of IIM will provide more individualized approaches and better risk stratification, helping in the management and treatment of these patients.References:[1]Satoh et al.

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a respiratory syndrome with a variable degree of severity. Imaging is a vital component of disease monitoring and follow-up in coronavirus pulmonary syndromes. The study of temporal changes of CT findings of COVID-19 pneumonia can help in better understanding of disease pathogenesis and prediction of disease prognosis. In this study, we aim to determine the typical and atypical CT imaging features of COVID-19 and discuss the association of typical CT imaging features with the duration of the presenting complaint and patients’ age. Results The lesions showed unilateral distribution in 20% of cases and bilateral distribution in 80% of cases. The lesions involved the lower lung lobes in 30% of cases and showed diffuse involvement in 58.2% of cases. The lesions showed peripheral distribution in 74.5% of cases. The most common pattern was multifocal ground glass opacity found in 72.7% of cases. Atypical features like cavitation and pleural effusion can occur early in the disease course. There was significant association between increased number of the lesions, bilaterality, diffuse pattern of lung involvement and older age group (≥ 50 years old) and increased duration of presenting complaint (≥ 4 days). There was significant association between crazy-paving pattern and increased duration of presenting complaint. No significant association could be detected between any CT pattern and increased patient age. Conclusion The most common CT feature of COVID-19 was multifocal ground glass opacity. Atypical features like cavitation and pleural effusion can occur early in the course of the disease. Our cases showed more extensive lesions with bilateral and diffuse patterns of distribution in the older age group and with increased duration of presenting complaint. There was a significant association between crazy-paving pattern and increased duration of presenting complaint. No significant association could be detected between any CT pattern and increased patient age.
