Nonreamed flexible locked intramedullary nailing in tibial open fractures
1998
Thirty-nine open unstable tibial shaft fractures were treated with a nonreamed flexible locked intramedullary nail between 1992 and 1995. There were 23 Grade I, 12 Grade II, three Grade IIIA, and one Grade IIIB fractures. The average time of followup assessment was 24 months. The average time to fracture union was 24 weeks. Complications were related in most cases to fractures with highly unstable patterns and extensive soft tissue lesions. There were five (12.5%) delayed unions and one (2.5%) nonunion. Deep infections developed in three (7.7%) patients. One patient required an additional procedure to correct a varus malunion. There were no implant failures. It was concluded that nonreamed …
Electrocardiographic Diagnosis of Atrial Tachycardia: Classification, P-Wave Morphology, and Differential Diagnosis with Other Supraventricular Tachy…
2014
Atrial tachycardia is defined as a regular atrial activation from atrial areas with centrifugal spread, caused by enhanced automaticity, triggered activity or microreentry. New ECG classification differentiates between focal and macroreentrant atrial tachycardia. Macroreentrant atrial tachycardias include typical atrial flutter and other well characterized macroreentrant circuits in right and left atrium. Typical atrial flutter has been described as counterclockwise reentry within right atrial and it presents a characteristic ECG “sawtooth” pattern on the inferior leads. The foci responsible for focal atrial tachycardia do not occur randomly throughout the atria but tend to cluster at chara…

Stressing the Importance of Adult Immunization: Suggestions for How to Change the Paradigm
2019
From 24 to 26 May 2017, the European Interdisciplinary Council on Ageing (EICA) and the European Union Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS) brought together a group of key opinion leaders and stakeholders from the healthcare field, for a conference entitled “Changing the Paradigm: Stressing the Importance of Adult Immunization”. The specific objectives of this meeting were to review vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) and vaccine performance in older adults and analyse the impact of the adult vaccination campaigns currently being implemented in Europe. The meeting aimed to improve our understanding of the challenge that vaccine hesitancy or scepticism represents, and how existing barriers to …
The effect of the calibre and length of needle on the stability of sclerosing foam.
2020
Objectives Little is known how calibre and length of needles affect the stability of sclerosing foam. Methods Foams were made of 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3% polidocanol, and 0.2%, 0.5%, 1% and 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS), which were mixed with air in the proportion of 4:1. These foams were ejected through needles with the length of: 4 mm, 6 mm and 13 mm, and diameter of: 0.26 mm, 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm. Results Foams made of more concentrated polidocanol were more stable. Regarding STS an opposite relationship was revealed. Foams made of polidocanol were more stable if ejected through a longer needle, while the length of needle did not significantly affect stability of STS foams. Foams ejected th…
Chirurgische Therapie des Ösophaguskarzinoms: Eine prospektive 20-Jahres-Analyse
2008
BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was the analysis of long-term developments in the surgical therapy for esophageal carcinoma at our hospital over a period of 20 years with a differentiated view on the two predominant histological tumour types. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between September 1985 and September 2005, esophageal resections were performed in 470 patients at our clinic on account of a malignant tumour of the esophagus. The abdomino-thoracic resection with abdominal and extended mediastinal lymph node dissection as well as intrathoracic anastomosis was the standard treatment in the case of squamous cell carcinoma, whereas in adenocarcinoma a transhiatal resection with abdominal and dorsa…
Endoscopic Treatment of Complete Ureterointestinal Stenosis Without Antegrade Ureteroscopy
2020
Background: Ureterointestinal stenosis is a frequent complication after radical cystectomy, occurring in up to 10%–12% of cases. Endoscopic treatment of complete stenosis has been described through double access, with antegrade flexible ureteroscopy and simultaneous retrograde endoscopy through the intestinal diversion. We present a case of endoscopic treatment without use of antegrade ureteroscopy. Case Presentation: A 52-year-old man underwent surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis secondary to mucinous adenocarcinoma. Ileocecal resection, omentectomy, sigmoidectomy, rectal resection, cystoprostatectomy, and ileal duct were performed. He had a complicated postoperative period because of en…
Secondary hyperalgesia to punctate mechanical stimuli
1999
Tissue injury induces enhanced pain sensation to light touch and punctate stimuli in adjacent, uninjured skin (secondary hyperalgesia). Whereas hyperalgesia to light touch (allodynia) is mediated by A-fibre low-threshold mechanoreceptors, hyperalgesia to punctate stimuli may be mediated by A- or C-fibre nociceptors. To disclose the relative contributions of A- and C-fibres to the hyperalgesia to punctate stimuli, the superficial radial nerve was blocked by pressure at the wrist in nine healthy subjects. Secondary hyperalgesia was induced by intradermal injection of 40 microg capsaicin, and pain sensitivity in adjacent skin was tested with 200 micron diameter probes (35-407 mN). The progress…
Achalasia Secondary to Submucosal Invasion by Poorly Differentiated Adenocarcinoma of the Cardia, Siewert II: Consideration on Preoperative Workup.
2014
Secondary achalasia due to submucosal invasion of cardia by gastric cancer is a rare condition. We report a case of pseudoachalasia, secondary to the involvement of gastroesophageal junction by poorly differentiated gastric cancer, initially mistaken as idiopathic form. We focus on the difficulty to establish differential diagnosis only on the basis of routine exams and we stress the necessity of “second level” instrumental exams; EUS in routine workup in selected patients should be considered. We support that routine workup based on history, clinical presentation, radiological and endoscopic findings, and certainly manometry could be insufficient for a correct differential diagnosis betwee…
