The LANN technique to reduce postoperative functional morbidity in laparoscopic radical pelvic surgery

2005

BACKGROUND: We investigated the feasibility and advantages of introducing Laparoscopic Neuro-Navigation (LANN) into the field of laparoscopic gynecologic radical pelvic surgery. STUDY DESIGN: In a prospective pilot study, 261 consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic radical pelvic surgery for cervical cancer or deep infiltrating endometriosis of the parametria. During the procedure, dissection and electrostimulation, and consequently, sparing of the pelvic parasympathetic nerves by transection of the parametria, were performed. Postoperative bladder dysfunction was documented. RESULTS: Laparoscopic dissection and electrostimulation of the pelvic splanchnic nerves were feasible in all pat…

Influence of nerve growth factor in endometriosis-associated symptoms

2011

To investigate the role of the nerve growth factor (NGF) in the development of dysmenorrhea/pelvic pain in patients with endometriosis, we performed a prospective, clinical, blind study. Peritoneal fluids (PFs) were obtained from patients with histologically proven endometriosis. Patients with endometriosis were divided into 7 different groups depending on their preoperative pain score and symptomatology: patients with no pain, patients with minimal pain (dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, or both), and patients with severe pain (dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, or both) and were used for the neuronal growth assay with cultured chicken dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and for Western blot analyses. Dorsal root …

Histologic analysis of specimens from laparoscopic endometrioma excision performed by different surgeons: does the surgeon matter?

2011

Objective To evaluate whether the amount of ovarian tissue inadvertently removed along with the endometrioma cyst wall at laparoscopy differs in relation to the operating surgeon's level of expertise. Design Multicenter, prospective trial. Setting Four tertiary care university hospitals. Patient(s) Fifty patients, aged 25 to 40 years, with monolateral ovarian endometriomas who underwent laparoscopic excision. Intervention(s) Operation with the stripping technique by surgeons with specific expertise in endometriosis surgery in four centers (groups A, B, C, and D) and by residents with average training in laparoscopic surgery (group E). Main Outcome Measure(s) Histologic examination for the e…

Endovascular treatment for chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency: is the procedure safe?

2010

Objectives The aim of this report is to assess the safety of endovascular treatment for chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI). Although balloon angioplasty and stenting seem to be safe procedures, there are currently no data on the treatment of a large group of patients with this vascular pathology. Methods A total of 564 endovascular procedures (balloon angioplasty or, if this procedure failed, stenting) were performed during 344 interventions in 331 CCSVI patients with associated multiple sclerosis. Results Balloon angioplasty alone was performed in 192 cases (55.8%), whereas the stenting of at least one vein was required in the remaining 152 cases (44.2%). There were no majo…

The Endovascular Management of an Iatrogenic Superior Gluteal Artery Rupture Following Bone Marrow Biopsy

2017

We herein report an uncommon case of a life-threatening retroperitoneal hematoma after a bone marrow biopsy. Two hours after iliac crest bone harvesting, the patient experienced syncope and severe hypotension. Urgent contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated extravasation from the superior gluteal artery. Transcatheter coil embolization was performed successfully, without complications. Life-threatening complications caused by retroperitoneal bleeding after bone marrow biopsy are very rare. There are few reports on the use of endovascular treatment in the management of life-threatening hemorrhagic complications after bone marrow biopsy.

Factores asociados al envejecimiento con éxito: aportaciones del ejercicio físico

2016

Según las estadísticas de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (2015), en prácticamente todos los países, la proporción de personas mayores está creciendo más rápido que cualquier otro grupo de edad. En el año 2050, la población envejecida pasará a ser el núcleo más grande de población. Las grandes políticas y las grandes potencias sanitarias deben acercar los recursos y avances médicos al fenómeno del envejecimiento. A nivel teórico, las respuestas parecen obvias: olvidar intereses político-económicos, tener claro que el planeta no es un negocio, es un lugar de bienestar donde el ser humano tiene que tener como misión fundamental cuidar del propio ser humano, de sus iguales; y proporcionar …

Resumen tomado de la publicación El papel del efecto de auto-referencia sobre el verdadero y falso reconocimiento en jóvenes y mayores sanos. Antecedentes: dados los resultados contradictorios acerca del papel que el efecto de auto-referencia ejerce sobre el falso reconocimiento, diseñamos un experimento para analizar si dicho efecto afecta al falso reconocimiento y su relación con el envejecimiento. Método: una muestra de personas mayores sanas (n = 30) y otra muestra de personas jóvenes (n = 38) valoraron si 40 adjetivos sobre rasgos de personalidad (20 de ellos con valencia positiva y 20 con valencia negativa) los describían o no (condición de auto-referencia). A continuación llevaron a …

‘My skin is hard’ - adult learners’ resistance to racialization and racism

2021

This article analyzes experiences of racialization in stories of adult learners with refugee experience who attend a basic education program at a Finnish community college. Throughout a two-year ethnographic study, several students shared stories and thoughts on racialization and racism with the white researcher on site (the author). This article tells and theorizes their stories to gain a deeper understanding of the workings of everyday racialization and racism in a Finnish educational context. Theoretically, the article draws on a Critical Race Theory (CRT) framework, which recognizes the inherence of racialization and racism in society and underlines the importance and legitimacy of BIPO…
