Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies in different clinical settings have established heart rate variability (HRV) as a significant independent risk factor for higher mortality and cardiac death. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of chronic haemodialysis therapy on time- and frequency-domain parameters of HRV in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS We studied 25 patients with stage 4 CKD and type 2 diabetes mellitus (CKD4+DM), 25 patients with stage 4 CKD without diabetes (CKD4), 25 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and 25 healthy subjects (HS). The study was performed in two phases. In the first phase, a 24-h Holter electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring was performed in all subjects. The patients with stage 4 CKD were followed up until they progressed to stage 5, and in the second phase of the study, they underwent a 24-h Holter ECG monitoring after completion of 3 months of conventional haemodialysis treatment. RESULTS In the first phase of the study, a reduction in cardiac sympathetic activity in CKD4 patients (significantly lower SDNN, SDANN/5 min, SD and VLF vs. HS) and worse autonomic function in CKD4+DM patients (significantly lower SDNN, SDANN/5 min, SD, VLF and LF/HF) vs. HS, DM and CKD4 was observed. After 3 months of dialysis therapy, the patients with CKD+DM showed a significant improvement only in the time-domain parameter SDANN/5 min, while the time-domain parameters SDNN, SDANN/5 min and SD were improved in CKD patients without diabetes. Frequency-domain parameters of HRV remained unchanged in both groups. CONCLUSIONS CKD is associated with worse cardiac autonomic function. Haemodialysis therapy for 3 months improves some indices of HRV, and this effect is more pronounced in non-diabetic subjects. Our findings suggest that the improvement of HRV after the initiation of chronic dialysis therapy can ameliorate clinical outcomes and survival in patients with end-stage renal disease.

Abstract
Authors sought to compare the efficacy of monotherapy versus combination antihypertensive therapy in elderly patients. Patients in this study, aged 65 to 85 years, were divided into 4 groups and entered an 8-week treatment period. First group: 22 patients, amlodipine 5 mg/d increasing to 10 mg; second: 20 patients, eprosartan 600 mg/d increasing to 600 mg twice a day; third: 21 patients, amlodipine 5 mg/d and indapamide 2.5 mg/d, increasing amlodipine to 10 mg/d; fourth: 23 patients, imidapril 10 mg/d and indapamide 2.5 mg/d, imidapril doubled to 20 mg/d. A greater drop in systolic and in diastolic blood pressure was obtained by combination of amlodipine and indapamide compared with amlodipine or eprosartan monotherapy. Imidapril and indapamide showed similar efficacy compared with eprosartan monotherapy but not with amlodipine monotherapy. Amlodipine and indapamide appeared more effective than imidapril and indapamide in diastolic blood pressure. Combination treatment with amlodipine and indapamide or imidapril and indapamide effectively reduces blood pressure in elderly patients with essential hypertension.

Abstract
The most commonly reported side effects related to lopinavir/ritonavir are diarrhea, vomiting, headache, nausea, and increased serum triglycerides and cholesterol levels. About 4% of the patients prescribed lopinavir/ritonavir stop taking it because of side effects. Alopecia, generally involving the scalp, has been reported in patients with HIV infection treated with indinavir but not with lopinavir/ritonavir. We present a 62-year-old man with HIV infection, stage B2, who experienced alopecia totalis of his scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes beginning 18 months after initiating antiretroviral treatment including lopinavir/ritonavir. No hair loss on the arms, legs, and pubic area was observed. Our patient's drug regimen consisted of lopinavir/ritonavir, efavirenz, and stavudine; in addition, the patient was receiving treatment for diabetes with glivenclamide and metformin for the last 3 years. These drugs have not been shown to cause alopecia. Alopecia reversed completely 2 months after substituting nelfinavir for lopinavir/ritonavir without any other change of treatment and his eyelashes and eyebrows grew back as well. To our knowledge, this is the second case of lopinavir/ritonavir-associated alopecia totalis reported in the international literature.
