Hypermobility spectrum disorders and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: patient experiences, disability and implications for rehabilitation.
The diagnosis and management of hypermobility spectrum disorders and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (HSD/hEDS) are a healthcare challenge because of the wide array of symptoms, lack of diagnostic biomarkers, and evolving management guidelines. This study aimed to describe patient experiences, di…
Meta-Analysis: Chronic Gastrointestinal Symptoms and Comorbidities in Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders.
Patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)/hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) report higher rates of chronic gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), and extraintestinal comorbidities. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the prevalence o…
Excessive Hypocapnic Cerebral Vasoconstriction in Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Assessed With Real-Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging During Lower-Body Negative Pressure.
Orthostatic intolerance is common in hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) with one third of patients fulfilling postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome criteria. Our aim was to assess cerebral blood flow in patients with hEDS and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome during orthostasis, w…
Degradation kinetics of postharvest quality attributes of rocket leaves grown under different nitrogen rates.
Diplotaxis tenuifolia L. cv Dallas (rocket leaves) is one of the most widely consumed fresh-cut salad vegetables in Europe, especially in southern Italy, being appreciated for its pungent taste and health promoting phytochemicals. However, its short postharvest shelf-life is still a major drawback.…
Assessing the Role of Patient-Physician Sex Concordance on Diagnostic Accuracy in Primary Care: A Randomized Factorial Survey Experiment.
While the impact of patient-physician sex concordance on patient perceptions and outcomes has been studied, less is known about its influence on diagnostic accuracy in primary care. Examine whether patient-physician sex concordance affects diagnostic accuracy among primary care physicians (PCPs…
Diagnostic strategies, test accuracy, and misdiagnosis of POTS: a narrative review of diagnostic criteria, tests, and diagnostic delay.
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is defined by a sustained heart rate increment upon upright posture without orthostatic hypotension. Despite established criteria, the condition remains frequently underdiagnosed. This narrative review evaluates diagnostic strategies, test accuracy, diagnost…
