Stauffer’s Syndrome in Patient with Metastatic Prostate Cancer
2019
Cholestasis is a symptom that can be present in many conditions, such as bile duct obstruction by malignant mases, obstruction by gallstone, acute and chronic viral hepatitis, and autoimmune disorders, such as primary biliary and sclerosing cholangitis. Stauffer syndrome is a rare type of paraneoplastic syndrome that presents as cholestasis with absence of underlying disease. Classically Stauffer syndrome has been described in renal cell cancer patients. In literature cholestasis as manifestation of paraneoplastic syndrome has also been described in patients with prostate adenocarcinoma and pancreatic and bronchogenic carcinoma. Conclusions. Stauffer syndrome should be kept in mind in patie…
Prevalence of human papillomavirus in the saliva of sexually active women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasias
2020
Background The main objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of human papillomavirus-DNA (HPV-DNA) in the saliva of sexually active women with HPV-related cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN) and compare the findings with a healthy control group. The secondary objectives were: 1) to determine the concordance between genital and oral HPV types in sexually active women with HPV-related CIN; 2) to analyze whether sexual habits influence the presence of HPV-related CIN; 3) to determine whether sexual habits influence the presence of oral HPV. Material and Methods Saliva samples were collected from 100 sexually active women, 50 with HPV-related CIN and 50 healthy subjects pres…
Dental considerations for the patient with renal disease
2011
Chronic renal disease (CRD) is the renal disease that manifests oral consequences most frequently, and it is defined as a progressive and irreversible decline in renal function associated with a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The most frequent causes of CRD are diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and glomerulonephritis. CRD is classified in 5 stages – from kidney damage with normal or increased GFR to renal failure. In order to quantify the CRD, renal function is measured using the GFR, which is estimated using creatinine clearance (CC). This CC is used for dose adjustment of drugs. In dental practice, the function of the kidneys can be measured indirectly through plasmatic …
Algoritmo diagnóstico-terapéutico de las microangiopatías trombóticas. A propósito de 2 casos
2022
Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) are a group of clinical syndromes associated with haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia and organ dysfunction, mainly renal or neurological. They are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, so early diagnosis and treatment are essential. In this article we report two cases of TMA; a patient with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and a patient with atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS).
Predictors of Progression in Hypertensive Renal Disease in Children
2004
In hypertensive renal disease in children, several risk factors influence the development and the rate of progression of renal damage, including blood pressure levels, proteinuria, lipid disorders, and genetic differences. The impact of blood pressure on renal structures, the most important of the factors, depends not only on blood pressure levels, but also on the persistence of the blood pressure levels over time, mainly during the hours when the patient is resting or sleeping. Abnormal circadian variability is frequently observed in patients with renal damage, and nocturnal blood pressure reduction should be a major therapeutic objective to protect against a decline in renal function. Pro…
Elimination of hexamethylene diisocyanate cross-linked polypeptides in patients with normal or impaired renal function
1978
Infusions of 3.5% isocyanate cross-linked polypeptide solution 500 ml were given to 52 patients with normal or impaired renal function: glomerular filtration rate (GFR)=0–133 ml/min. The serum concentration and urinary excretion of hydroxyproline were measured and the equivalent polypeptide concentrations were calculated from the results. In patients with normal renal function (GFR>90 ml/min) the proportion of polypeptide excreted in the urine up to 12 h was 45.4±2.6% ( $$\bar X$$ ±SEM), up to 24 h 47.7±2.9% and up to 48 h 49.3±3.4%. In patients with moderate renal insufficiency (GFR=30–90 ml/min) there was no decrease in polypeptide excretion and even in patients with more serious impairme…
Transverse Small Skin Incision for Carotid Endarterectomy
2015
The purpose of this report is to determine the feasibility of short transverse skin incision (STI4 cm) for eversion (EEA) and patch (PEA) endarterectomy with or without shunt by comparing it with the outcomes after long transverse skin incision (LTI 4-8 cm).Of 164 elective consecutive patients (71 ± 2.73% symptomatic) operated at one institution over 24 months, 81 were treated with STI, while 83 patients received LTI. The LTI and STI groups did not differ in terms of age, symptoms, or risk factors. EEA or PEA under locoregional (LRA) or general (GA) anesthesia were performed.STI was associated with shorter operation times (75.19 ± 15.33 vs. 94.87 ± 41 and 99.4 ± 27.36 vs. 132.66 ± 51.32, re…
Treatment of clinically localized renal tumors in the elderly
2011
There are several options for treating clinically localized renal tumors in the elderly, ranging from active surveillance to radical nephrectomy. Reduced renal function is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, so maintaining renal function is of the utmost importance. Personalized therapy should be based on tumor location, comorbidities and general health status rather than tumor size and patient age.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy with ultrasound-guided lithostar plus.
1992
Abstract Since 1989, the Siemens lithostar plus, an upgrade of the lithostar with the ultrasonically guided overhead module, has been available for clinical use. This unit may be used for the treatment of either biliary or urinary calculi. We report on 75 patients with urinary calculi treated between March 1989 and June 1990 with the lithostar overhead module. Stone localization showed a rate of: caliceal stones 33.5%, pelvic stones 44%, upper ureteral stones 9.3% and lower ureter stones 13%. The overall disintegration rate was 86%, with a stone-free rate after 3 months of 78%.
