Prognostische Bedeutung einer Diabeteserkrankung beim Endometriumkarzinom

Objective: The purposes of this study were to analyze the relationship between clinical and pathological risk factors in endometrial cancer and additional diabetes mellitus and to clarify the correlation between additional diabetes mellitus and survival of patients with this disease. - Material and methods: This analyze included 181 patients with endometrial carcinoma who were treated between 1985 and 1995 at the University hospital Mainz. Patients with sarcoma were excluded. For statistical analysis a Χ 2 -test was performed for univariat analysis. A Kaplan-Meier procedure was performed for over all survival and disease free interval and COX-Regression for multivariate analysis of independ…

Reconstructive surgery following resection of primary vulvar cancers.

Objective. This study describes the surgical treatment and follow-up of 213 patients with primary vulvar cancer; particular attention is given to reconstructive surgical procedures. Methods. The clinical and pathological parameters of the patients were recorded according to standardized procedures, and the data concerning type of operation, surgical reconstruction and postoperative course of disease (recurrence-free and overall survival) were analyzed. Results. In about one-third of the cases, plastic surgery reconstruction involving skin-flaps was performed. In the present group of patients, plastic surgery procedures led to an elevated degree of operability as well as to more satisfactory…

Wertigkeit der Abradathistologie von Endometriumkarzinomen

Objective: We compared immunohistological examination of endometrium biopsy specimen with the results of the immunohistological examination of tumor specimen to analyse the valence of this preoperative examination according to the clinico-pathological findings and overall-survival. Material and Method: Between 1985 and 1995 193 women were treated of an endometrial carcinoma at the University hospital Mainz. In this group we evaluated 41 patients with enough preoperative endometrial biopsy material for a retrospective immunohistochemical analysis and complete follow-up data. The materials from diagnostic curettage were stained and analysed for oestrogen and progesterone receptor status and f…

Quantum correlation of electron and ion energy in the dissociative strong-field ionization of H2

We report on the strong field ionization of H2 by a corotating two-color laser field. We measure the electron momentum distribution in coincidence with the kinetic energy release (KER) of dissociating hydrogen molecules. In addition to a characteristic half-moon structure, we observe a low-energy structure in the electron momentum distribution at a KER of about 3.5 eV. We speculate that the outgoing electron interacts with the molecular ion, despite the absence of classical recollisions under these conditions. Time-dependent density functional theory simulations support our conclusions.

D-Dimer, Thrombin-Antithrombin III-Komplex (TAT) und Prothrombinfragment 1+2 (PTF)

Two groups of 15 patients each with disseminated intravascular coagulation in association with septic disease were treated with low-molecular-weight heparin (lmw-heparin) in different dosages (group I: 1.5-5 IE/kg body weight (BW) per hour; group II: 8-15 IE/kg BW). We studied the levels of D-dimer, thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT), prothrombin fragments 1 and 2 (PTF), and global tests of coagulation like prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (PTT), thrombin time (TT) and platelet count, plasminogen activation (PA) and fibrinogen concentration to estimate the success of heparin therapy in the two groups. TT and fibrinogen concentration were not suitable to foll…

HIGH GRADE GLIOMAS AND DIPG

Measurement of θ13 in Double Chooz using neutron captures on hydrogen with novel background rejection techniques

The Double Chooz collaboration presents a measurement of the neutrino mixing angle θ[subscript 13] using reactor [bar over ν[subscript e]] observed via the inverse beta decay reaction in which the neutron is captured on hydrogen. This measurement is based on 462.72 live days data, approximately twice as much data as in the previous such analysis, collected with a detector positioned at an average distance of 1050 m from two reactor cores. Several novel techniques have been developed to achieve significant reductions of the backgrounds and systematic uncertainties. Accidental coincidences, the dominant background in this analysis, are suppressed by more than an order of magnitude with respec…

Multivariate independent prognostic factors in endometrial carcinoma: A clinicopathologic study in 181 patients

The aim of this study was to evaluate the biologic outcome of endometrial carcinomas as compared to clinical and pathologic parameters and to identify multivariate independent prognostic factors. Charts were abstracted from patients with endometrial carcinoma from 1985 to 1995. Data on clinicopathologic variables, adjuvant treatment, site of recurrence, and survival were collected. χ2 test was used to test association between variables. Kaplan-Maier method was used for survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards model for multiple regression analysis. Univariate analysis revealed that FIGO stage, tumor grade, depth of myometrial invasion, biochemical analysis of progesterone receptor sta…

Fourier-Analyse der P-Welle bei der VDD-Stimulation. Ein intra-individueller Vergleich verschiedener atrialer Dipolkonfigurationen

Der Frequenzinhalt der wahrgenommenen P-Welle wird bei der VDD-Stimulation sowohl von der Dipollokalisation, als auch von der Dipolkonfiguration beeinflust. Eine Vergroserung der Dipoloberflache resultiert in der Detektion tieferer Frequenzen.
