Ethopharmacological studies on the effects of antihormones on rodent agonistic behavior with especial emphasis on progesterone.
1991
The effects of a range of antiandrogens and antiestrogens on conflict behaviors in laboratory rats and mice are reassessed in the light of recent studies applying ethophamacological analyses (recording the full spectrum of behaviors) to such investigations. It is argued that any antihostility properties of the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate are largely a consequence of indirect actions on odor communication, whereas antiestrogens (e.g., tamoxifen and CI 680) seem to have more fundamental motivational effects in addition to communicatory actions. A detailed example of the approach is provided in which progesterone (which can be antiandrogenic) is given to rats paired in different ways. The…
Three-Dimensional Analysis of Component Stability of the Nellix Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing System After Treatment of Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic A…
2016
Purpose: To assess short-term stability and conformational changes of the Nellix EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing (EVAS) System using 3-dimensional (3D) analysis. Methods: Postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans obtained at 0, 3, and 12 months in 24 patients (mean age 75±7 years; 22 men) who underwent EVAS between December 2013 and December 2014 for intact abdominal aortic aneurysm (within the instructions for use) were evaluated for stent-graft deviation in multiple planes using dedicated 3D analysis software. In addition, 2D analysis using an anatomically fixed reference landmark was performed to assess craniocaudal migration. Clinical and follow-up data of the patients were recorded a…
<br /> Ga_2O_3 films alloyed with SnO_2 and treated by RF plasma: an interesting way for the development of transparent contacts for UV-emittin…
2016
International audience; Layers of Ga2O3 alloyed up to 15 at% with Sn4+ has been studied after treatment by RF plasma. An increased conductivity was measured which is an interesting step towards transparent contacts for UV-emitting photonics devices.
Metformintreatment Overcomes ATRA-Resistance in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia and Increases FOXO3A Expression
2018
Abstract Introduction: FOXO3A is a transcription factor shown to be involved in all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced granulocytic differentiation and apoptosis in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Its biological activity may be significantly enhanced upon metformin, raising the possibility that ATRA and Metformin may act synergistically; which could be useful to overcome ATRA resistance. Despite progress in APL treatment, approximately 10-15% of patients will relapse after treatment with ATRA and anthracyclines and frequently present with ATRA resistance. Relapsed patients respond well to arsenic trioxide (ATO) treatment, but the cost of ATO is a significant barrier in many countries. A…
Circulating tumor DNA analysis for assessment of recurrence risk, benefit of adjuvant therapy, and early relapse detection after treatment in colorec…
2021
11 Background: Timely detection of recurrence, as well as identification of patients at high risk of recurrence after surgery and after completion of adjuvant therapy, are major challenges in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Postsurgical circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis is a promising tool for the identification of patients with minimal residual disease (MRD) and a high risk of recurrence. The objective of this prospective, multicenter study was to determine whether serial postsurgical ctDNA analysis could identify the patients at high risk of recurrence, provide an assessment of adjuvant therapy efficacy and detect relapse earlier than standard-of-care radiological imaging.…
Clinical and Brain Imaging Findings in a Child with Vitamin B12 Deficiency
2021
Vitamin B12 (Vit-B12) deficiency is a rare and treatable cause of failure to thrive and delayed development in infants who are exclusively breastfed. Apart from genetic causes, it can be related to a malabsorption syndrome or when the mother follows a strict vegetarian or vegan diet, causing a low hepatic storage of Vit-B12 in the infant at birth. As the neurological symptoms are nonspecific, a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam is usually performed to rule out primary causes of neurodevelopmental delay. Findings related to brain atrophy are usually observed. A favorable response is achieved with Vit-B12 therapy, and neurological symptoms dramatically improve within a few days afte…
Children's oral health-related quality of life and associated factors: Mid-term changes after dental treatment under general anesthesia
2015
Objectives: This study aimed to document the mid-term effects of comprehensive dental treatment under general anesthesia (DTGA) on parent-assessed children's oral health-related quality of life (COHRQoL). A second aim was to examine some epidemiological factors associated with COHRQoL and treatment outcome. Study Design: A pretest-posttest design was followed in which parents were surveyed using the Child Oral Health Quality of Life Questionnaire before and 6-9 months after their children (age ranges 3-10 years) underwent DTGA. Some clinical conditions and epidemiological factors were examined to assess their association with COHRQoL and changes resulting from treatment. Results: The clinic…
Estudio de la valoración del dolor articular y del grado de satisfacción,tras infiltración con plasma rico en fibrina en pacientes con artrosis de ro…
2020
espanolLa definicion de plasma rico en plaquetas sigue siendo controvertida, quizas el concepto mas amplio lo podria definir como “un volumen de plasma autologo que contiene una concentracion de plaquetas superior a la concentracion basal fisiologica”. En nuestro hospital se realizo un estudio retrospectivo observacional analitico para valoracion de resultados y satisfaccion de los pacientes tras infiltracion con Plasmas Rico en Fibrina (PRF) en rodilla. Se seleccionaron 80 pacientes con diagnostico de gonartrosis, tratados mediante infiltracion de PRF entre enero y diciembre de 2017 por los Servicios de Cirugia Ortopedica y Rehabilitacion, que acudieron a las visitas sucesivas de control e…
<p>Endothelial Function in Obese Patients Treated with Bariatric Surgery</p>
2020
Purpose Bariatric surgery (BS) is becoming an increasingly frequent treatment option especially in people with morbid obesity, demonstrating that it is able to reduce total mortality and cardiovascular (CV) risk. Despite endothelial dysfunction is an essential requisite contributing to atherosclerosis and predicting CV events, only some studies have investigated the effects of BS on endothelial function with controversial results. In this study, the effects of weight loss on endothelial function were investigated in obese patients after BS and compared with patients after medical nutrition treatment (MNT). Patients and Methods Seventeen obese patients who underwent BS procedures (9 adjustab…
F145. WHAT ARE THE MAIN BRAIN CHANGES IN FMRI AFTER TREATMENT IN FIRST EPISODE PSYCHOSIS? A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
2018
Abstract Background There are many studies using structural MRI to explore the longitudinal course of F Episode Psychosis (FEP).2 On the other hand, there is a lack of functional MRI studies examining the longitudinal course of FEP. The aim of this work is to make a literature systematic review of these studies, to summarize the knowledge about longitudinal course of functional brain activity in FEP. Methods We followed the PRISMA guidelines for conducting systematic reviews and combined the use of electronic and manual systematic search methods, in the principal databases (MedLine, PubMed and Web of Science) using the query “longitudinal” AND “fMRI” AND “first episode psychosis” OR “first …
