Re-interpreting complex atrial tachycardia maps using global atrial vectors.

2021

Activation maps of scar-related atrial tachycardias (AT) can be challenging to interpret due to difficulty in inaccurate annotation of electrograms, and an arbitrarily predefined mapping window. A novel mapping software integrating vector data and applying an algorithmic solution taking into consideration global activation pattern has been recently described (Coherent™, Biosense Webster "Investigational").We aimed to assess the investigational algorithm to determine the mechanism of AT compared with the standard algorithm.This study included patients who underwent ablation of scar-related AT using the Carto 3 and the standard activation algorithm. The mapping data were analyzed retrospectiv…

Guillain-Barré syndrome after orthotopic liver transplantation: A clinical manifestation of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome?

2018

Guillain-Barrè Syndrome, as part of the spectrum of dysimmune neuropathies, is unexpected to occur in immunocompromised hosts. We describe a clinical case of Guillain-Barrè syndrome, occurred a few weeks after a liver transplant, and we postulate that our case would satisfy all requirements to explain this peripheral nervous system complication as a clinical manifestation of an Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. In this setting of liver transplantation, complicated by potentially multiple infective triggers, reduction of immunosuppression and reversal of pathogen-induced immunosuppression, through antimicrobial therapy, may have led to pro-inflammatory response. The pro-inflammato…

Nawracające częstoskurcze komorowe w przebiegu zawału NSTEMI utrzymujące się pomimo rewaskularyzacji i zastosowanej farmakoterapii

2018

Przedstawiamy pacjenta z nawracającymi niestabilnymi hemodynamicznie częstoskurczami komorowymi w okresie zawału mięśnia sercowego bez uniesienia odcinka ST powikłanego niewydolnością krążenia. Komorowe zaburzenia rytmu utrzymywały się pomimo wdrożonej farmakoterapii przeciwniewydolnościowej, zastosowania amiodaronu i przeprowadzonej rewaskularyzacji. W związku z tym zastosowano niestandardową farmakoterapię oraz metody zabiegowe takie jak ablacja endowaskularna i implantacja kardiowertera-defibrylatora.

Isolated lip dermatitis (atopic cheilitis), successfully treated with topical tacrolimus 0.03%

2020

Background Exfoliative and erosive cheilitis, may be a source of speech and chewing discomfort, but may also be an aesthetic issue for the patients affected. Such a clinical presentation may implicate a variety of inflammatory conditions, including atopic (eczematous) cheilitis. Topical and systemic agents, e.g. corticosteroids, have been used to treat inflammatory lip conditions. Topical tacrolimus has also been used in some inflammatory lip conditions. Material and Methods We performed a retrospective clinical analysis of atopic cheilitis patients. Results Between 2015 and 2020, we addressed 7 (seven) patients with atopic dermatitis affecting only lips and were diagnosed as atopic-eczemat…

Conflict between truthfulness and tact in parent–teacher conferences

2009

The purpose of this article is to explore how teachers’ and parents’ conversations are affected by their notions about truthfulness. The study is qualitative and draws on data from observations of parent–teacher conferences about pupils with special needs in a Norwegian lower secondary school and from interviews with participants. The findings show that teachers’ and parents’ conversations are constrained by positive talk, decency and silence and, especially when the pupil participates, they choose a careful point of view, gloss over it, and talk about what is OK and not unpleasant. Furthermore, teachers act communicatively in a strategic way. It is concluded that teachers and parents often…

Topic tacrolimus, alternative treatment for oral erosive lichen planus resistant to steroids : a case report

2006

The lichen planus is a mucocutaneous disease with unknown etiology and auto-immune pathogenia. There have been three variants of lichen planus: the reticular, the plaque-like and the atrophic-erosive lesions. It?s a chronic disease with acute relapses that generally affects more frecuently to women from the fourties. The diagnostic is based on the clinic identification of the lesions joined with the histopathologic study (basal cells hidropic degeneration, linfoplasmocitic infiltration and absence of displasy signs). The great number of therapeutic options are explained for its high prevalency (0.5-2%), its recurrence and its risk for malignant transformation. We present a case of oral eros…

Improving the Effect of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS): A Systematic Review

2021

With the development of electrical stimulation technology, traditional transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) technology has been found to have the drawback of not targeting a specific area accurately. Studies have shown that optimizing the number and position of electrodes during electrical stimulation has a very good effect on enhancing brain stimulation accuracy. At present, an increasing number of laboratories have begun to optimize tACS. However, there has been no study summarizing the optimization methods of tACS. Determining whether different optimization methods are effective and the optimization approach could provide information that could guide future tACS research. …

“Ephemeral” regeneration for the marginal urban spaces/places in Enna

2020

The aim of this paper it to demonstrate that the interventions of “ephemeral designing” - seen in the key of potential activators of shared forms of bottom-up urban regeneration - may be also read as sequence of pop-up actions (flames); but capable in conferring to the marginal urban spaces - even if temporarily - a “meta-real” shape of the desirable effects of that urban transformation they would to reach in a real implementation. By establishing, thereby, with both the city's communities and places, a true moment of local awareness and animation, fleeting but realistic, that can trigger interest and re-generate the sleeping collective activism, even before to regenerate the physical compo…
