Seroquel (ICI 204 636), a putative "atypical" antipsychotic, in schizophrenia with positive symptomatology: results of an open clinical trial and cha…

1995

Preclinical data indicated that seroquel (ICI 204 636), a dibenzothiazepine with 5-HT2 and D2-like receptor antagonistic properties, might be an effective antipsychotic agent, causing fewer extrapyramidal side effects than typical neuroleptics. In the present study, 12 patients suffering from schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder with predominantly positive symptomatology were treated in an open clinical trial for 4 weeks with seroquel at a maximum dosage of 750 mg/day. The drug was generally well tolerated, and virtually no adverse extrapyramidal side effects such as acute dystonia, parkinsonism or akathisia were observed. Total scores for BPRS (item score 0–6; baseline: 42.0±2.3; mea…

Anastomotic leakage after colon cancer resection: does the individual surgeon matter?

2016

Aim Anastomotic leakage is one of the most feared complications after colonic resection. Many risk factors for anastomotic leakage have been reported, but the impact of an individual surgeon as a risk factor has scarcely been reported. The aim of this study was to assess if the individual surgeon is an independent risk factor for anastomotic leakage in colonic cancer surgery. Method This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from patients who underwent elective resection for colon cancer with anastomosis at a specialized colorectal unit from January 1993 to December 2010. Anastomotic leaks were diagnosed according to standardized criteria. Patient and tumour character…

Outcome of suicidal patients with schizophrenia: results from a naturalistic study. Objective:  Purpose was to assess suicidality before and at the time of admission in patients with schizophrenia and compare outcome differences. Method:  Biweekly PANSS (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), HAMD (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale) and UKU (Udvalg for Klinske Undersogelser Side Effect Rating Scale) ratings were evaluated in 339 in-patients with schizophrenic spectrum disorder…

Risk of thromboembolism with thrombopoietin receptor agonists in adult patients with thrombocytopenia: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomi…

2012

Background and objective: Thrombopoietin receptor (TPOr) agonists (romiplostim and eltrombopag) are a new approach for the treatment of thrombocytopenia-associated conditions. They promote megakaryocyte differentiation, proliferation and platelet production. In the European Union, both are orphan drugs with an indication restricted to splenectomized immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients who are refractory to other treatments. Due to increasing platelet counts, these drugs may represent a risk for thromboembolic complications. We analyzed whether TPOr agonists affect thromboembolisms occurrence in adult thrombocytopenic patients. Materials and methods: We conducted a systematic review and…

Unexpected death for takayasu aortitis associated with coronary ostial stenosis

2015

The differential diagnosis of vasculitis is often a difficult task due to the frequent morphological similarities that various vasculitic syndromes express when the heart is the target organ. The more the lesions are limited to the arterial tree with absent or almost silent coronary events, the less specific the anatomical and clinical frameworks. To create a series of clinical records and on the basis of these assumptions, the authors report a case concerning the sudden death of a 43-year-old woman which occurred while an ergonometric test was being carried out 28 days after the onset of the symptoms. A subsequent postmortem investigation/autopsy enabled us to detect a granulomatous aortit…

Usefulness of ileostomy defunctioning stoma after anterior resection of rectum on prevention of anastomotic leakage A retrospective analysis

2016

Anastomotic leakage is one of the major complications occurring after anterior resection of rectum. A defunctioning stoma is usually created routinely or on surgeons' discretion. The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of temporary ileostomy to prevent anastomotic leakage comparing the postoperative course of patients with and without defunctioning loop ileostomy.Patients that underwent anterior resection of rectum were recruited. 140 patients were enrolled and divided in two groups: patients without and with defunctioning loop ileostomy. Patients' characteristics and other useful data were recorded. A comparison between the two groups was made. The minimum follow-up was 11 …

Akadēmiskā pašregulācija saistībā ar vecāku iesaistīšanos bērna izglītībā

2017

Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot kā savā starpā ir saistītas akadēmiskā pašregulācija, mātes un tēva iesaistīšanos bērna mācīšanās procesā. Bakalaura darbs sastāv no 3 nodaļām: Akadēmiska pašregulācija, Vecāku iesaistīšanās bērna izglītībā, Mātes un tēva iesaistīšanās bērna izglītībā. Pētījuma dalībnieki aizpildīja 2 aptaujas: „Akadēmiskās pašregulācijas aptauja” (Gnambs, T. & Hansftingl, B, 2014) un „Vecāku iesaistīšanās bērna mācīšanās procesā” (Chao, 2000; Kerr & Stattin, 2000; Kohl, Lengua, McMahon, & the Conduct Problems Prevention Research group, 2000; Stattin & Kerr, 2000). Pētījumā tika iesaistīti 77 bērni vecumā no 11 līdz 13 gadiem (M=12,09). Pētījuma anketas aizpildīja 6. kla…

Emocionālā intelekta saistība ar akadēmiskajiem sasniegumiem vidusskolēniem 17-19 gadu vecumā.

2016

Šī pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādām emocionālā intelekta spējām, kompetencēm pastāv sakarība ar akadēmiskajiem sasniegumiem, kā arī apskatīt šo saistību dzimumatšķirības kontekstā. Pētījuma ietvaros tika aptaujāti 50 respondenti – 25 meitenes un 25 puiši, vecumā no 17 līdz 19 gadiem 11. un 12 klases skolēni. Emocionālā intelekta spējas tika mērītas ar R. Bar-On Emocionālā intelekta aptauju (The Bar- On, Emotional Quotient Inventory, EQ – i, Bar-On, 1999), kas sastāv no 133 apgalvojumiem, ko novērtē Likerta skalā. Akadēmiskie sasniegumi tika noteikti respondentam norādot savas sekmes latviešu valodā, angļu valodā, matemātikā iepriekšējā semestrī.Lai gūtu atbildes uz pētījuma jautājumie…
