Body mass index and health-related quality of life in patients preparing for coronary angiography
There is evidence that body mass index (BMI) is related to some extent to the health related quality of life (HRQoL) in different populations. The purpose of our study was to investigate the relationship between the BMI and the HRQoL in patients awaiting coronary angiography. The sample consisted of 100 patients (68 males and 32 females) with symptomatology indicated for coronary angiography. For all of them BMI was calculated. They were also administered Duke Health profile questionnaire which measures adult self-reported functional health status. The findings reveal that BMI is related to some aspects of HRQoL. Considering this, health counseling directed at regulating body weight as part of the positive health behavior can benefit and improve some domains of the HRQoL and the QoL per se of the individuals having health problems

Aorto-Bilateral-Femoral-Bilateral-Popliteal Bypass for Leriche Syndrome With Occlusion of Both Superficial Femoral Arteries
A 68-year-old man, who is a smoker with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, presented in our hospital with rest pain in both calves. His symptoms started 1 year prior with short distance walking pain in both legs. Preoperative work up discovered Leriche's syndrome with occlusion of both superficial femoral arteries, as shown on the 64-slice computerized tomographic scan (Fig 1). Operative treatment included aorto-bilateral femoral bypass, using 16/8 mm Dacron (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) Y-graft, anastomosed termino-terminal to the aorta and latero-lateral to both common femoral arteries. The excess 8-mm tube grafts were cut, and the procedure continued with termino-lateral anastomosis using an 8-mm Dacron tube graft (Edwards Lifesciences) on the popliteal artery, then connecting the distal tube graft with the proximal tube graft on the femoral level using termino-terminal anastomosis. The same operative steps were repeated for the other leg. His postoperative stay was uneventful. He was discharged home 7 days later. A follow-up 64-slice computerized tomographic scan (Fig 2) of the aorto-bilateral-femoral-bilateral-popliteal bypass
Body mass index and quality of life in patients waiting for coronary angiography
Aim: There is evidence that the body mass index (BMI) is related, to some extent, to the quality of life (QoL) in different populations. The
purpose of our study was to investigate the differences in QoL in relation to the BMI in patients awaiting coronary angiography.
Method: The sample consisted of 100 patients (68 males and 32 females) with symptoms indicating coronary angiography. For all of them
BMI was calculated. The participants completed the Duke Health profile questionnaire (DUKE) which measures adult self-reported functional
health status.
Results: After splitting the group in two according to the BMI median cut-off point, the findings reveal differences in the following aspects of
QoL secondary to BMI: mental health (p = .006), general health (p = .038), perceived health (p = .008), anxiety (p = .022), depression (p =
.008), anxiety-depression (p = .004), but not related to: physical health (p = .384), social health (p = .267), self-esteem (p = .172), pain (p =
.797), disability (p = .710).
Conclusion: Considering the findings, health counselling directed at regulating body weight is recommended as part of the positive health
behaviour. It can benefit and improve some domains of the QoL of individuals having health problems
Low - dose CT of the chest as a screening method for early detection of pulmonary cancer
Dose limitation is one of the vital principles in
radiation protection regulation. The use of that Low-dose chest CT can be a screening
method of choice for early detection of pulmonary cancer
Asessment of coronary arteries with ECG GATED 64-multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in patients with suspected aortic dissection Stanford type A
The purpose of our study is to show the value of ECG gated 64-MDCT as an non - invasive and reliable method for simultaneous assessment of coronary arteries as part of the aortic root evaluation. Methods and Materials. From February 2009 until March 2010 we performed 46 ECG - gated, 64 MDCT examinations to confirm a diagnosis of suspected aorta ascendens dissection . A transthoracic (TTE) and/or transesophageal (TEE) echocardiography was initially performed in all patients ( mostly TEE) Patients (pts) with arrhythmia and non-stable haemodynamic conditions were excluded. All MDCT scans were performed with retrospectively ECG gated technique (0,625mm slice thickness). Premedicaton with i.v. betaBlocker (propranolol) was administrated in all with heart rate> 70 bpm
