The plasma aldosterone concentration:renin ratio (ARR) is widely used for the screening of primary aldosteronism, but its reproducibility is unknown. We, therefore, investigated the within-patient reproducibility of the ARR in a prospective multicenter study of consecutive hypertensive patients referred to specialized centers for hypertension in Italy. After the patients were carefully prepared...
INTRODUCTION Accelerometers are commonly used to assess physical activity. Consumer activity trackers have become increasingly popular today, such as the Fitbit. This study aimed to compare the average number of steps per day using the wrist-worn Fitbit Flex and waist-worn ActiGraph (wGT3X-BT) in free-living conditions. METHODS 104 adult participants (n = 35 males; n = 69 females) were asked ...
Metal ions generated from joint replacements are a cause for concern. There is no consensus on the best surrogate measure of metal ion exposure. This study investigates whether serum and whole blood concentrations can be used interchangeably to report results of cobalt and chromium ion concentrations. Concentrations of serum and whole blood were analysed in 262 concurrent specimens using high r...
UNLABELLED Background. Food frequency questionnaires are used to assess dietary intake in epidemiological studies. Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the relative validity and reproducibility of a quantitative food frequency questionnaire (QFFQ) for adolescents with type 1 diabetes. METHODS Validity was evaluated by comparing the data generated by QFFQs to those of 24-hour recalls ...
BACKGROUND Valid skinfold thickness (SFT) equations for the prediction of body fat are currently unavailable for South Asian women and would be a potentially robust field tool. Our aim was to assess the validity of existing SFT equations against deuterium (2H2O) dilution and, if invalid, to develop and validate an SFT equation for % fat mass (%FM) in Sri Lankan women. METHODS H2O dilution was...
BACKGROUND Glucose infusion test (GIT) is a new method to measure vascular access recirculation (R) based on basal glucose increase in the arterial blood line after a 20% glucose bolus (5 ml) into the venous chamber. METHODS We compared GIT with the ultrasound dilution method (HD01, Transonic Systems Inc., USA) in a circuit reproducing in vitro the phenomenon of R. We repeated the comparison ...
PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of Spot photoscreener in detecting amblyopia risk factors meeting 2013 the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) criteria in Chinese preschool and school-age children. METHODS One hundred and fifty-five children (310 eyes), aged between 4 to 7 years (5.74 ± 1.2 years) underwent complete ophthalmologic examination, photoscr...
Spirometry is essential for the diagnosis and management of common respiratory diseases. However, its use and quality are low in primary care. An important reason for this is the technical difficulty in performing conventional spirometry. If high-quality spirometry could be performed online, from the pulmonary function laboratory in hospitals, most of the technical problems could be solved. The...
BACKGROUND The Juvenile Arthritis Foot Disability Index (JAFI) and the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for Children (OxAFQ-C) are two region-specific paediatric outcome tools that measure the impact on well-being in children with foot pathology. The aim of this study was to establish the level of agreement between the JAFI and the OxAFQ-C in a group of children diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathi...
