Vitom® 3D in arterio-venous fistulas: Single centre preliminary surgical experience
2021
Background: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the vascular access of choice for hemodialysis patients. A correct microsurgical vascular anastomoses is essential to the optimal care of patients. Loupes can help surgeons perform such procedures, but often cause neck or back pain and fatigue. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate whether a video telescopic operating microscope (VITOM®; Karl Storz Endoscopy GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany) could be used as a substitute for loupes to create microsurgical vascular anastomoses. Methods: We evaluated microsurgical anastomoses with VITOM® in 10 patients (6 male, 4 female) from January 2019 to December 2019. The created anastomoses were 7 side-to-side, 2 side-to-…
Characterization of haemolytic activity of coelomocytes of Holothuria tubulosa
2013
Phylogenetic analysis recognizes echinoderms as a key group of deuterostomes, therefore the species in this group are useful for the study of the evolution of innate immunity responses. In addition, this marine invertebrate lives in coastal and estuarine waters that are directly exposed to potentially pathogenic microorganisms and stressful anthropogenic factors. Coelomocyte populations seem to be essential to immune-defence functions such as phagocytosis, ROI production, cytotoxicity, synthesis and release of antimicrobial substances including lectin, cytokine, C3-like expression, prophenoloxidase activity and capsule formation. Holothurians’ coelomocyte populations contain several coelomo…
Diagnosis and treatment of chronic synovitis in patients with haemophilia: consensus statements from the Italian Association of Haemophilia Centres
2022
Although synovitis is recognized as a marker of joint disease activity, its periodic assessment is not included in routine clinical surveillance of patients with haemophilia (PwH). In order to evaluate the current knowledge and to identify controversial issues, a preliminary literature search by the Musculoskeletal Committee of the Italian Association of Haemophilia Centres (AICE) has been conducted. Statements have been established and sent to the Italian AICE members to collect their level of agreement or disagreement by a Delphi process. Thirty-seven consensus recommendations have been drafted. We found a general agreement on the indication to consider the presence of synovitis as a mark…

Combination vaccines containing DTPa–Hib: impact of IPV and coadministration of CRM197 conjugates
2008
Vaccination with diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTPa)-Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) combinations generally elicits anti-polyribosyl-ribitol-phosphate (PRP) antibody concentrations of more than 0.15 microg/ml, a criterion that is linked to the protection of infants against Hib disease. In the UK, vaccination with DTPa3-Hib elicited atypically low anti-PRP antibody levels and was associated with breakthrough Hib cases. While the absence of a toddler booster is considered to be a key factor explaining the lowered control of Hib disease, we propose that the coadministration of serogroup C Neisseria meningitidis conjugate vaccine (MenC)-CRM197, which coincided with the introductio…

The effects of dietary fumonisin B1 on growth and physiology of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
2016
Kalanrehuissa on perinteisesti luotettu kalajauhoon ja -öljyyn rehujen pääasiallisina proteiinin- ja energianlähteinä. Näitä raaka-aineita on nykyään alettu korvata kasviperäisillä ainesosilla niiden edullisemman hinnan ja helpomman saatavuuden vuoksi, esimerkiksi maissilla, vehnällä ja soijalla. Pilaantuneen kasviperäisen raaka-aineen mukana rehuun pääsee haitallisia mykotoksiineja. Mykotoksiinit ovat homesienten sekundäärisiä metaboliatuotteita, joita ne pääasiassa tuottavat kilpailuun muita homeita vastaan, ja joiden on havaittu aiheuttavan kasvun heikentymistä ja sairauksia monilla eri kotieläimillä, mutta niiden vaikutuksista kaloihin tiedetään varsin vähän. Yksi yleisimmistä mykotoksi…
Nelipīdu riska faktoru izvērtējums pacientiem ar ģimenes hiperholesterolēmiju
2018
Pamatojums: Ģimenes Hiperholesterinēmija (ĢH) raksturojas ar paaugstinātu zema blīvuma lipoproteīnu holesterīna (ZBL-H) koncentrāciju, kas ievērojami paaugstina agrīnu kardiovaskulāro slimību (KVS) attīstības risku. Papildus (ZBL-H) citu, ar lipīdiem nesaistītu, riska faktoru nozīmīgai ietekmei uz KVS attīstības risku, ir svarīga to identifikācija un kontrole jau dzīves laikā vai kopš bērnības. Mērķis: Raksturot un identificēt biežākos ar lipīdiem nesaistītus riska faktorus, kas var veicināt KVS attīstību pacientiem ar ĢH, kas tādējādi varētu palīdzēt akcentēt nozīmi to turpmākai kontrolei. Materiāli un metodes: Šī ir retrospektīva kohorta analīze pacientu grupai ar ticamu vai drošu ĢH diag…
