RESUMO
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) currently affects approximately 850 million people globally and is continuing to increase in prevalence as well as in importance as a cause of death. The excess mortality related to CKD is mostly caused by an increase in cardiovascular disease. This includes atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease as many promoters of atherosclerosis, such as blood pressure, lipid levels and hypercoagulation, are increased in people with CKD. Diabetes is a leading cause of CKD contributing to the risk of CVD, and obesity is also increasingly prevalent. Management of these risk factors is therefore very important in CKD, and to reduce risk of CKD progression. Heart failure is also more prevalent in CKD and, again, many risk factors are shared. The concept of foundational pillars in the management of heart failure has been adapted to the treatment of CKD, with many organ-protective interventions, such renin-angiotensin system blockade, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibition and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism, reducing the risk for mortality in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, but also for progression of CKD. Atrial fibrillation is also more common with CKD and affects the management of the former. In this review these non-renal complications of CKD are discussed, along with how the risk of these complications should be managed. Many new opportunities have demonstrated heart and kidney organ protection, but implementation is a challenge.

OBJECTIVE: We investigated associations between gastrointestinal symptoms - evaluated as a combined weighted symptom score (CWSS) - Diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN), and distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN) in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study in a tertiary outpatient clinic. CWSS was calculated based on questionnaires: gastroparesis composite symptom index (GCSI) and gastrointestinal symptom rating score (GSRS). DAN and DSPN were addressed using the composite autonomic symptom score 31 (COMPASS-31) questionnaire, cardiac autonomic reflex tests (CARTs), electrochemical skin conductance (ESC), vibration perception threshold (VPT), Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), pain- and thermal sensation. Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, diabetes duration, smoking, LDL-cholesterol, HbA1C and systolic blood pressure. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes were evaluated separately. RESULTS: We included 566 with type 1 diabetes and 377 with type 2 diabetes. Mean ± SD age was 58 ± 15 years and 565 (59.9 %) were women. A high CWSS was present in 143 (25 %) with type 1 and 142 (38 %) with type 2 diabetes. The odds of DAN by COMPASS-31 (p < 0.001) were higher in the high score group. For type 1 diabetes, odds of cardiac autonomic neuropathy were higher in the high CWSS group. The odds of DSPN by VPT and MNSI in type 1 diabetes, and by ESC, VPT and pain sensation in type 2 diabetes were higher in the high CWSS group. CONCLUSIONS: A high symptom score was associated with neuropathy by COMPASS-31 and vibration perception. Gastrointestinal symptom burden associated inconsistently with other neuropathy tests between diabetes types.

BACKGROUND: Population-based prevalence estimates of distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DPN) and diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) are scares. Here we present neuropathy estimates and describe their overlap in a large cohort of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. METHODS: In a large population of outpatient participants, DPN was assessed using vibration perception threshold, sural nerve function, touch, pain and thermal sensation. Definite DPN was defined by the Toronto Consensus Criteria. Painful DPN was defined by Douleur Neuropathique 4 Questions. DAN measures were: cardiovascular reflex tests, electrochemical skin conductance, and gastroparesis cardinal symptom index. RESULTS: We included 822 individuals with type 1 (mean age (±SD) 54 ± 16 years, median [IQR] diabetes duration 26 [15-40] years) and 899 with type 2 diabetes (mean age 67 ± 11 years, median diabetes duration 16 [11-22] years). Definite DPN was prevalent in 54 % and 68 %, and painful DPN was in 5 % and 15 % of type 1 and type 2 participants, respectively. The prevalence of DAN varied between 6 and 39 % for type 1 and 9-49 % for type 2 diabetes. DPN without other neuropathy was present in 45 % with T1D and 50 % with T2D. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of DPN and DAN was high. DPN and DAN co-existed in only 50 % of cases.

Purpose: Autonomic nervous system dysfunction (ANSD), for which presently no treatment exists, has a negative impact on prognosis in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Periosteal pressure sensitivity (PPS) on sternum may be a measure of autonomic nervous system dysfunction (ANSD). We tested if a non-pharmacological PPS-feedback-guided treatment program based on non-noxious sensory nerve stimulation, known to reduce PPS, changed empowerment, treatment satisfaction, and quality of life in people with T2D, compared to usual treatment. Patients and Methods: Analysis of secondary endpoints in a single center, two-armed, parallel-group, observer-blinded, randomized controlled trial of individuals with T2D. Participants were randomized to non-pharmacological intervention as an add-on to treatment as usual. Endpoints were evaluated by five validated questionnaires: Diabetes specific Empowerment (DES-SF), Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction (DTSQ), quality of life (QOL) (WHO-5), clinical stress signs (CSS), and self-reported health (SF-36). Sample size calculation was based on the primary endpoint HbA1c. Results: We included 144 participants, 71 allocated to active intervention and 73 to the control group. Active intervention compared to control revealed improved diabetes-specific empowerment (p = 0.004), DTSQ (p = 0.001), and SF-36 self-reported health (p=0.003) and tended to improve quality of life (WHO-5) (p = 0.056). The findings were clinically relevant with a Cohen's effect size of 0.5 to 0.7. Conclusion: This non-pharmacological intervention, aiming to reduce PPS, and thus ANSD, improved diabetes-specific empowerment, treatment satisfaction, and self-reported health when compared to usual treatment. The proposed intervention may be a supplement to conventional treatment for T2D.
RESUMO
Objetivos. El boletín de notas de México correspondiente al 2018 evalúa las oportunidades a disposición de la población infantil y joven mexicana para que puedan desarrollar niveles adecuados de actividad física y sueño, y disminuyan el sedentarismo.Métodos. El boletín es un sistema de vigilancia que recopila los datos obtenidos en las encuestas nacionales, censos, documentos gubernamentales, sitios web, literatura gris y estudios publicados con respecto al análisis de 16 indicadores en 4 categorías: comportamientos diarios, estado físico, entornos y fuentes influyentes, y estrategias e inversión. Los datos fueron cotejados con los puntos de referencia establecidos. A cada indicador se le asignó una calificación entre 1 y 10 (< 6 significa reprobado) o fue marcado como "incompleto" si los datos eran nulos o insuficientes. Resultados. Las calificaciones obtenidas para los comportamientos diarios fueron: actividad física en general: 4; participación en actividades deportivas organizadas: 5; juego activo: 3; modalidades de transporte activas: 5; sueño: 7; y sedentarismo: 3. El estado físico obtuvo un 7. Las calificaciones para los entornos y fuentes influyentes fueron: familiares y pares: "incompleto"; escuela: 3; comunidad y entorno: 4. Para las estrategias e inversión: estrategias gubernamentales: 6; entidades no gubernamentales: 2.Conclusiones. Las bajas calificaciones obtenidas en 11 de los 16 indicadores demuestran que las escuelas, las familias, las comunidades y el gobierno tienen que aunar esfuerzos para mejorar las oportunidades que tiene la población infantil y joven en México para desarrollar niveles de actividad física satisfactorios.(AU)
ABSTRACT The Lancet Commission on Hypertension identified that a key action to address the worldwide burden of high blood pressure (BP) was to improve the quality of BP measurements by using BP devices that have been validated for accuracy. Currently, there are over 3 000 commercially available BP devices, but many do not have published data on accuracy testing according to established scientific standards. This problem is enabled through weak or absent regulations that allow clearance of devices for commercial use without formal validation. In addition, new BP technologies have emerged (e.g. cuffless sensors) for which there is no scientific consensus regarding BP measurement accuracy standards. Altogether, these issues contribute to the widespread availability of clinic and home BP devices with limited or uncertain accuracy, leading to inappropriate hypertension diagnosis, management and drug treatment on a global scale. The most significant problems relating to the accuracy of BP devices can be resolved by the regulatory requirement for mandatory independent validation of BP devices according to the universally-accepted International Organization for Standardization Standard. This is a primary recommendation for which there is an urgent international need. Other key recommendations are development of validation standards specifically for new BP technologies and online lists of accurate devices that are accessible to consumers and health professionals. Recommendations are aligned with WHO policies on medical devices and universal healthcare. Adherence to recommendations would increase the global availability of accurate BP devices and result in better diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, thus decreasing the worldwide burden from high BP.(AU)
RESUMO A Comissão Lancet sobre Hipertensão Arterial identificou que uma iniciativa central para enfrentar a carga mundial da hipertensão arterial seria a melhoria na qualidade da mensuração da pressão arterial pelo uso aparelhos de pressão arterial validados quanto à acurácia. Atualmente, existem mais de 3 000 aparelhos de pressão arterial disponíveis comercialmente; entretanto, muitos não têm dados publicados sobre testes de acurácia realizados de acordo com padrões científicos estabelecidos. Este problema resulta de regulamentação fraca ou inexistente, o que permite a aprovação para uso comercial de dispositivos sem validação formal. Além disso, surgiram novas tecnologias de mensuração da pressão arterial (por exemplo, sensores sem algemas) sem consenso científico quanto aos padrões de acurácia. No conjunto, essas questões contribuem para a oferta generalizada de dispositivos de pressão arterial clínica e domiciliar com acurácia limitada ou incerta, levando a diagnóstico, gerenciamento e tratamento inadequados da hipertensão em escala global. Os problemas mais significativos relacionados com a acurácia dos dispositivos de pressão arterial podem ser resolvidos por regulamentação que imponha a obrigatoriedade de validação independente dos aparelhos de pressão arterial, de acordo com a norma universalmente aceita pela Organização Internacional de Normalização. Esta é uma recomendação fundamental para a qual existe uma necessidade internacional urgente. Outras recomendações essenciais incluem o desenvolvimento de padrões de validação especificamente para novas tecnologias de mensuração da pressão arterial e listas on-line de aparelhos com acurácia adequada que sejam acessíveis aos consumidores e profissionais de saúde. As recomendações estão alinhadas com as políticas da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) sobre dispositivos médicos e atenção universal à saúde. A adesão às recomendações aumentaria a oferta global de dispositivos de pressão arterial com acurácia adequada e resultaria em melhor diagnóstico e tratamento da hipertensão arterial, diminuindo assim a carga mundial dessa doença.(AU)
