Abstract	Introduction. eating habits run in the family and sometimes last a lifetime. For this reason, it is important to evaluate the nutrition of adolescents and create coherent nutritional educational programs. Material and method. the study was carried out on a group of 139 high school students from two counties of Moldova. The young people filled out a questionnaire with questions about their weekly intake of cheese, chicken, eggs, bread, potatoes and sweets. The results were processed using the Pearson test. Results. the dominant intake of cheeses is once a week (31.65%) or 2-3 times per week (30.93%). Chicken meat is mostly consumed 2-3 times per week (46.76%) and eggs 1 time (38.84%) or 2-3 times (32.37%) per week. The differences calculated by groups and according to the gender of the students are statistically insignificant. Bread appears in the daily menus of only one third of the surveyed students, and potatoes are consumed especially 2-3 times per week (41.00%). Sweets are consumed mostly 2-3 times per week, but the differences between communities are statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions. the statistically insignificant differences obtained for most food products point to the existence of similar eating habits in the families of the students in the study group.

Abstract	Arterial stiffness and degenerative aortic stenosis (AoS) are frequently associated leading to a combined valvular and vascular load imposed on the left ventricle (LV). Vascular load consists of a pulsatile load represented by arterial stiffness and a steady load corresponding to vascular resistance. Increased vascular load in AoS has been associated with LV dysfunction and poor prognosis in pre-intervention state, as well as after aortic valve replacement (AVR), suggesting that the evaluation of arterial load in AoS may have clinical benefits. Nevertheless, studies that investigated arterial stiffness in AoS either before or after AVR used various methods of measurement and their results are conflicting. The aim of the present review was to summarize the main pathophysiological mechanisms which may explain the complex valvulo-arterial interplay in AoS and their consequences on LV structure and function on the patients' outcome. Future larger studies are needed to clarify the complex hemodynamic modifications produced by increased vascular load in AoS and its changes after AVR. Prospective evaluation is needed to confirm the prognostic value of arterial stiffness in patients with AoS. Simple, non-invasive, reliable methods which must be validated in AoS still remain to be established before implementing arterial stiffness measurement in patients with AoS in clinical practice.

Abstract	Adipokines are active molecules with pleiotropic effects produced by adipose tissue and involved in obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Arterial stiffness, which is a consequence of arteriosclerosis, has been shown to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of arterial stiffness is complex but incompletely understood. Adipokines dysregulation may induce, by various mechanisms, vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular remodeling, leading to increased arterial stiffness. This article summarizes literature data regarding adipokine-related pathogenetic mechanisms involved in the development of arterial stiffness, particularly in obesity, as well as the results of clinical and epidemiological studies which investigated the relationship between adipokines and arterial stiffness.

Abstract	Hyperuricemia is usually associated with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease. Accumulating data from epidemiological studies indicate an association of increased uric acid (UA) with cardiovascular diseases. Possible pathogenic mechanisms include enhancement of oxidative stress and systemic inflammation caused by hyperuricemia. Arterial stiffness may be one of the possible pathways between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular disease, but a clear relationship between increased UA and vascular alterations has not been confirmed. The review summarizes the epidemiological studies investigating the relationship between UA and arterial stiffness and highlights the results of interventional studies evaluating arterial stiffness parameters in patients treated with UA-lowering drugs.

Abstract	The selection of children for training in a certain sports branch should be based on the assessment of their physical development and their motor skills. The aim of the study: the evaluation of the students' motor skills in relation to Body Mass Index (BMI) in order to orient them towards certain sports branches. Methods: The research study was conducted on a sample of 220 fifth grade students within the Moldavian Area. We have calculated the BMI and we have assessed the motor skills according to the national standards established for each school grade. Results: The BMI values are mainly normal (75.45%), yet there are significant differences in development between students in the three counties under analysis, with the most significant values recorded in the county of Suceava (18.48 ± 0.45 for boys and 18.06 ± 0.48 for girls). As far as the push-ups test grading is concerned, 8.63% of the students achieved below 5; there are also significant differences from one region to another (the highest values were recorded in Iasi 11.05 ± 1.00 for boys, 9.93 ± 0.97 for girls, in Suceava 7.98 ± 0.89 for boys and 4.18 ± 0.46 for girls and in Vrancea 9.97 ± 0.48 for boys and 7.70 ± 0.33 for girls). Softball throw was perfectly executed and graded with 10 by 59.09% of the students. Standing long jump was graded with 10 for only 30.45% of the students. The differences obtained according to Conclusions: there are substantial differences in children's physical development and motor skills from one county to another and this aspect is essential in the selection of young people who will practice high performance sports.

Abstract	Diet is a major factor that contributes to the achievement of a normal growth and development of children and youth. It is even more important to young athletes who are looking for sports performance.Methods: The study was conducted on a group of 84 students from Sports High School from Iassy. They completed a food frequency questionnaire consumption . Processing the results was made taking into account the perception of their body weight. Results and Discussion : body weight is considered very good for 77.38 % youth , and too small situations in 10.71 % students. Morning food intake was recognized by 77.38 % students and the differences calculated according to body weight, was not statistically significant (p> 0.05, Gl -2, χ ² -0.319 ) . Increased consumption of sugar is said to 34.52% youth calculated differences being statistically significant at a p <0.05 (Gl-2, χ ² -7.08). Eating raw vegetables is recognized by 88.09%, young, but the differences were not significant ( p> 0.05, Gl -2, χ ² 1,509 ) . Fruits are eaten at lunch ( 60.71 % ) or breakfast ( 66.66% ) and the differences were calculated in both cases statistically insignificant . Drinking milk at breakfast, is recognized by 55,95% of students surveyed. Eating food too salty, is recognized by 76.19% youth and the differences calculated according to body weight are statistically significant at p <0.05 (Gl-2, χ ² 8376). Conclusions: These studies are important for maintaining the health of students, especially those which make a great physical effort.

Abstract	Despite efforts to treat obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), the condition remains an important risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. Early detection of RV dysfunction with novel echocardiographic techniques (speckle tracking echocardiography) may be useful in preventing progression to pulmonary hypertension, with subsequent heart failure and cardiovascular death. Echocardiography is the method of choice for the evaluation of OSA consequences on the heart. Although standard echocardiographic parameters are routinely used in these patients, there are several limitations in the early detection of RV dysfunction. The main concerns are the complex geometry of RV and the impact of pre- and afterload on RV myocardium, which cannot be assessed through standard measurements. The aim of this review is to highlight the utility of advanced echocardiographic parameters in the identification of OSA patients with subclinical myocardial dysfunction, which are at risk of developing heart failure and later adverse events. Speckle tracking echocardiography might provide higher sensitivity in unmasking alterations in RV function when conventional echocardiographic methods cannot detect them. Therefore, this method has a major role in the detection of early stages of RV dysfunction, along with better risk stratification and better timing in the initiation of therapy.

Abstract	We present the cases of a mother and daughter with osteogenesis imperfecta, also diagnosed later with rheumatoid arthritis. In our patients finding and treating the over-imposed arthritis improved the joint pain initially attributed to osteogenesis imperfecta. Exploring joint inflammation in this setting could help ease the disease burden. Purpose: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare hereditary disease evolving with recurrent fractures upon minor trauma, blue sclerae, and hearing loss. Although inflammation was not generally considered a feature of the disease, systemic inflammation was recently reported in children with OI and in murine models of OI. Method: We present the cases of a mother and a daughter with OI, without a personal or family history of autoimmune diseases, who were also diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis seropositive for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide autoantibodies and rheumatoid factor. Results: The genetic tests identified in both patients a deletion in COL1A1 gene (c.3399del, p.Ala1134Profs105), not previously reported, not present in population databases, creating a premature translational stop signal in the COL1A1 gene in the collagen I major ligand binding region 3. In our patients finding and treating the over-imposed arthritis improved the joint pain initially attributed to OI. Possible pathogenic links between OI and RA are discussed. Conclusion:* The prevalence of joint inflammation in OI is unknown and may be underestimated. As musculoskeletal involvement affects the quality of life in most OI patients, exploring this relation may help ease the disease burden.

Abstract	Objectives: To evaluate the ankle, hindfoot, and heel changes (determined by physical examination, ultrasound and baropodometry) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, to compare the findings with healthy subjects, and to analyze if these findings are associated with ankle pain and could affect the quality of life. Methods: We enrolled 35 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 35 healthy controls, and evaluated their ankles (tibiotalar joints, tendons), hindfeet (talonavicular, subtalar joints) and heels using clinical examination, DAS28-CRP, RAPID3 for the evaluation of functional status, quality of life in rheumatoid arthritis questionnaire, ultrasound, and baropodometry. Results: The ultrasound inter-observer agreement was good for the subtalar joint, and very good for the other structures. Flat foot was identified in 50% of feet in rheumatoid arthritis patients, with 83.8% having concomitant hindfoot valgus and less subtalar joint synovitis visible from the lateral approach (32.4% vs 55.6%, p = 0.041). The body mass index, RAPID3 and subtalar synovitis were independent predictors for the symptomatic ankle (all p <0.05). Midfoot and heel plantar pressures were higher in rheumatoid arthritis patients compared to healthy controls, but when subtalar synovitis was present, the pressures decreased (avoidance of heel support). Poor quality of life in rheumatoid arthritis patients was independently predicted by DAS28-CRP, RAPID3, disease stage, hindfoot valgus, tibiotalar and subtalar synovitis, tendon pathology, Achilles tendon enthesophytes, calcaneal erosions, plantar fasciitis, and perifasciitis (all p <0.05). Conclusion: The quality of life of rheumatoid arthritis patients is significantly affected by ankle and hindfoot pathology (inflammatory modifications, but also degenerative findings and deformities). Ultrasound scanning is an important tool in the evaluation of inflammatory and degenerative lesions in these regions, and their early detection might contribute to a better therapeutic management in these ...
