Rhino cerebral mucormycosis: a report of two cases and review of literature.
2011
Mucormycosis is caused by fungi of the order Mucorales and is one of the fulminant and fatal mycotic infections known to human beings with a high mortality rate. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is the most common type and its extension to the orbit and brain is quite usual. It is commonly reported in immunocompromised patients such as poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, blood dyscrasias, malnutrition, neutropenia, iron overload, organ transplant, and immunosuppressive therapy. Mucormycosis is on the rise with an increase in incidence of Diabetes mellitus and HIV infection leading to immunocompromised status of the patient. Here in, reporting two cases of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in two uncont…

Pathology Reporting of Resected Pancreatic/Periampullary Cancer Specimen
2018
Pancreatic specimens have always been a great challenge for surgical pathologists due to their anatomic complexity and the difficulty of becoming familiar with these specimens. However, pancreatic specimens are becoming more and more common in many hospitals because of the improvements in surgical techniques and perioperative care that have dramatically reduced the postoperative mortality rate.
Influence of Propofol on Neuronal Damage and Apoptotic Factors after Incomplete Cerebral Ischemia and Reperfusion in Rats
2004
Background Propofol reduces neuronal damage from cerebral ischemia when investigated for less than 8 postischemic days. This study investigates the long-term effects of propofol on neuronal damage and apoptosis-related proteins after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned as follows: group 1 (n = 32, control): fentanyl and nitrous oxide-oxygen; group 2 (n = 32, propofol): propofol and oxygen-air. Ischemia (45 min) was induced by carotid artery occlusion and hemorrhagic hypotension. Pericranial temperature and arterial blood gases were maintained constant. After 1, 3, 7, and 28 postischemic days, brains were removed, frozen, and sliced. Hi…
Der kurze popliteodistale Venenbypass beim diabetischen Fußsyndrom DFS
2003
Purpose: World wide increase of diabetes compound with diabetic foot syndrome becomes a challenge in vascular surgery to avoid limb loss. In diabetics a special pattern of atherosclerosis is prevalent with disease limited to the infrageniculate arteries but sparing inflow vessels and distal tibial and pedal arteries. This provides short bypass grafting from popliteal to tibial and pedal arteries, a concept first described by F. Veith in 1981. Methods: Diabetics with severe atherosclerotic disease and limb-threatening ischemia got general evaluation and vascular imaging. Falling in this special category the patients underwent short vein bypass grafting originating at the first or third popli…
The effect of conventional movement training and trampoline training on balance and gait in chronic hemiplegic patients
1991
The postural sway of subjects during standing both with their eyes open and closed together with maximum velocity of walking were analysed in six male chronic hemiplegic patients before, during and after an intensive movement training programme lasting 8 weeks. The movement training programme was carried out on the basis of Bobath's principles. Three of the subjects carried out their training on a trampoline, with the particular purpose of enhancing the stimulation of the mechanisms responsible for the control of balance. During the follow-up, maximal walking velocity remained at previous levels and no systematic changes were observed in the control of postural sway. Although the use of the…
Directly measured and self-reported physical activity in a sample of Finnish secondary school students
2012
Previous studies based on self-reports show that a majority of children and adolescents in Western countries fail to achieve the recommendation of 60 minutes moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA) on a daily basis. The specific aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between directly measured and self-reported PA in a cross-sectional sample of Finnish secondary school students. Moreover, how large proportion of adolescents accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous PA on a daily basis using self-reports and direct measure scores. Methods: Participants were recruited from a secondary school located in Northeast Finland. The sample comprised 96 students (58 girls, 38…
Micro-RNAs miR-375-3p and miR-7-5p are released alongside ACTH from corticotroph pituitary neuroendocrine tumor
2021
AbstractObjectiveCirculating miRNAs are found in bodily fluids including plasma and can serve as biomarkers for diseases. The aim of this study was to provide the first insight into the landscape of circulating miRNAs in close proximity to the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secreting PitNET. To achieve this objective next-generation sequencing of miRNAs in plasma from bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS) - a gold standard in diagnosing ACTH-secreting PitNETs, was carried out.MethodsSinistral (left) and dextral (right) BIPSS blood samples of the patient were collected in three time points: before the administration of corticotropin-releasing hormone, 5 and 15 minutes after …
