Morbidly adherent placenta: evaluation of ultrasound diagnostic criteria and differentiation of placenta accreta from percreta
2013
Objectives To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of two-dimensional (2D) gray-scale and color Doppler and three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler sonographic criteria for morbidly adherent placenta (MAP), and to identify criteria to help distinguish placenta accreta from placenta percreta. Methods We enrolled 187 patients with placenta previa and history of uterine surgery and performed transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound examination for early detection of MAP. With 2D gray-scale transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasonography, we investigated loss/irregularity of the echolucent area between the uterus and the placenta (‘clear space’), thinning or interruption of the hyperechoic interface…
Das Cogan-I-Syndrom
2003
Wir berichten uber 2 Patienten, die seit dem Sauglings- und Kleinkindesalter unter einem Cogan-I-Syndrom leiden.Bei diesem seltenen Krankheitsbild handelt es sich um eine akute oder schubweise Verschlechterung der Horleistung des Innenohrs mit vestibularer Symptomatik und einer nichtsyphilitischen interstitiellen Keratitis oder anderen entzundlichen okularen Symptomen beim atypischen Cogan-I-Syndrom. Die erste Patientin erkrankte im 5.Lebensjahr an verschiedenen okularen Entzundungen, sodass ein Auge im 8.Lebensjahr erblindete.Zu dieser Zeit begann die Horverschlechterung. Im Alter von 17 Jahren litt die Patientin beidseits unter einer an Taubheit grenzenden Schwerhorigkeit. Bei dem zweiten…
Die Bestimmung von Wachstumshormon (HGH) als Diagnosticum bei chromophoben und eosinophilen Adenomen der Hypophyse
1971
Der Wert der radioimmunologischen Bestimmung von Wachstumshormon (HGH) in der praoperativen Diagnostik von chromophoben und eosinophilen Adenomen der Hypophyse wird an 27 Fallen demonstriert. Als Funktionstest wird die Insulin-induzierte Hypoglykamie angewandt. Eine einfache Maszahl (FHGH) zur Auswertung der Ergebnisse wird vorgeschlagen, die durch Integration der Flachen unter den HGH-Kurven erhalten wird. Als indirekte Testverfahren zur Uberprufung der Hypophysenfunktion dienen ein Metopiron- und ein ACTH-Test.
Das idiopathische Skrotalödem – eine Differenzialdiagnose des akuten Skrotums
2017
Das akute idiopathische Skrotalodem (AISE) wird als eine seltene Ursache fur das Akute Skrotum angesehen. Nach Ausschluss der haufigeren Ursachen (Hoden- und Hydatidentorsion, Epididymitis, Hernie oder Hydrozele) erlauben die typischen klinischen Symptome und die charakteristischen Befunde bei der Dopplersonografie eine sichere Diagnosestellung, die in den meisten Fallen zur Vermeidung unnotiger Hodenfreilegungen beitragen kann.

Death of a 23-year-old man from cardiac conduction system injury through a blunt chest impact after a car accident.
2014
Abstract Cardiac contusion, usually caused by blunt chest trauma, has been recognized with increased frequency over the past decades. Traffic accidents are the most frequent causes of cardiac contusion resulting from a direct blow to the chest. Myocardial contusion is difficult to diagnose; the clinical presentation varies greatly, ranging from a lack of symptoms to cardiogenic shock and arrhythmia. Although death is rare, cardiac contusion can be fatal. The authors report a case of death due to a cardiac conduction system injury from a blunt chest impact following a car accident. The autopsy showed no external signs of thoracic trauma, no evident rib or sternum fractures. A small sub-endoc…
Major Congenital Anomalies in Babies Born With Down Syndrome
2014
Previous studies have shown that over 40% of babies with Down syndrome have a major cardiac anomaly and are more likely to have other major congenital anomalies. Since 2000, many countries in Europe have introduced national antenatal screening programs for Down syndrome. This study aimed to determine if the introduction of these screening programs and the subsequent termination of prenatally detected pregnancies were associated with any decline in the prevalence of additional anomalies in babies born with Down syndrome. The study sample consisted of 7,044 live births and fetal deaths with Down syndrome registered in 28 European population-based congenital anomaly registries covering seven m…
Genetic syndrome suspicion: examples of clinical approach in the neonatal unit.
2010
Overgrowth syndromes: the practical clinical approach. Excessive growth can be present in a variety of medical conditions as result of abnormal fetal metabolism (i.e., maternal gestational diabetes) or of an overgrowth syndrome. Within this latter group of diseases, a LGA newborn requires a complex differential diagnosis encompassing several syndromes, such as Beckwith-Wiedemman, Sotos, Weaver, Simpson-Golabi-Behmel, Perlman, and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba. Partial or global overgrowth, other dysmorphisms, abdominal organs anomalies, as well as benign and malignant tumors are the common issues to examine for the diagnosis and the monitoring of all these disorders. The molecular bases of these…
Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity: role of the conventional echocardiography and the tissue Doppler.
2011
Aim. The cardiotoxicity of anticancer drugs is an emerging problem and only an identification of the early signs of cardiotoxicity by conventional echocardiography and not (tissue Doppler imaging, TDI), will limit and contain the long-term cardiotoxicity effects. The aim of this study was to identify, through conventional echocardiography and TDI, parameters to use as early "signs" of cardiotoxicity. Methods. A prospective study was performed using patients with breast cancer (72 women, median age 57+/-12) treated with anticancer drugs (adjuvant chemotherapy). All patients underwent a careful cardiological evaluation before starting treatment (T0) and during follow-up at 3 months (T1), 6 mo…
Achalasie im Kindesalter: Eine separate Entität?
2007
Background Achalasia in childhood is rare, also the etiology and the pathogenesis of the early onset ort he disease is practically unknown. Little is known about the neuropathological changes in structure of the esophageal wall in non-hereditary, sporadic achalasia in children and ist differentiation to that in adults. The aim of our study was to examine the morphological properties or high-pressure zone of the lower esophageal sphincter in children who had undergone a Heller myotomy because of achalasia as well as to compare them with the pathological findings in adults. Methods Muscle biopsies of the smooth musculature, a 20 x 10 mm long segment of the myenteric of the distal esophagus (l…
