Erythromelalgia-Like Symptoms with High Blood-Pressure

Pathological nociceptors in two patients with erythromelalgia‐like symptoms and rare genetic Nav 1.9 variants

INTRODUCTION The sodium channel Nav 1.9 is expressed in peripheral nociceptors and has recently been linked to human pain conditions, but the exact role of Nav 1.9 for human nociceptor excitability is still unclear. METHODS C-nociceptors from two patients with late onset of erythromelalgia-like pain, signs of small fiber neuropathy, and rare genetic variants of Nav 1.9 (N1169S, I1293V) were a...

Association between age and physical activity level with chest pain symptoms and blood pressure in patients with heart diseases

Background: The risk of cardiovascular diseases increases in relation with age and physical inactivity. However, there is limited data about the importance of each factor. Thus, the present study has examined the association of physical activity level (PA) and age with chest pain signs and blood pressures in patients with heart failure. Materials and methods: Totally, 299 patients with heart f...

Association of blood pressure variability with orthostatic intolerance symptoms

The short-term blood pressure variability (BPV) reflects autonomic regulatory mechanisms. However, the influence of BPV in orthostatic intolerance (OI) is unknown. Herein, we assessed BPV profiles in patients with OI and determined their association with orthostatic symptoms. In this cross-sectional study, we prospectively enrolled 126 patients presenting with OI at the Seoul National Universit...

High Blood Pressure, FBS and LDL-C among Diabetic Iranians

Introduction: Control of blood pressure, fasting plasma sugar (FPS) and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces to vascular complications of diabetes. In this study we determined the prevalence of diabetic individuals with uncontrolled blood pressure, FPS and LDL-C. Materials and Methods: We used data from three national Surveys of Risk Factors of Non-Communicable Disease (SuRFNCD) ...
