I TUMORI INFANTILI E DEGLI ADOLESCENTI: TREND DI INCIDENZA E STUDIO DI EVENTUALI CLUSTER. CONFRONTO TRA LE PROVINCE DI PALERMO E DI CALTANISSETTA NEL…

2017

INTRODUZIONE: Nonostante i progressi nelle strategie terapeutiche e il conseguente miglioramento della sopravvivenza, i tumori infantili rappresentano un importante problema di salute pubblica. È stato effettuato un confronto tra l’incidenza dei tumori infantili (0-14 anni) e degli adolescenti (15-19 anni) nelle province di Palermo e di Caltanissetta, nel periodo 2007-2012. MATERIALI E METODI: Sono stati analizzati 453 nuovi casi di tumore maligno e i non maligni del SNC in soggetti <20 anni, registrati dal Registro Tumori di Palermo Provincia (RTPP) e dal Registro Tumori di Ragusa e Caltanissetta (RTRC) tra il 2007 e il 2012. Variazioni delle medie annue percentuali sono state calcolate…

Long-term esophageal motility changes after thyroidectomy: associations with aerodigestive disorders.

2017

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing thyroidectomy often complain aerodigestive disorders. In a previous study we showed the associations between voice impairment and proximal acid reflux, swallowing impairment and Upper Esophageal Sphyncter (UES) incoordination and the decrease in UES pressure in thirty-six patients observed before and soon afterwards uncomplicated thyroidectomy. This study investigated the state of post-thyroidectomy esophageal motility changes and its associations with these disorders after 18-24 months. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The thirty-six patients prospectively recruited according to selection criteria (thyroid volume ≤60 ml, benign disease, age 18-65 years, previous neck s…
