Aplicación de la Termografía Infrarroja en Pediatría: Análisis de las alteraciones de la microcirculación cutánea

2020

Desde los inicios de la medicina, se conoce la relación entre enfermedad y las variaciones de temperatura corporal, lo que ha llevado al estudio y desarrollo de técnicas de termometría, que permitiesen cuantificar dichos cambios de temperatura. Entre ellas, destaca la Termografía Infrarroja, que es una técnica de imagen inocua, ya que se basa en captar la emisión de radiación del infrarrojo que emite el cuerpo, es rápida de realizar y accesible, pues se puede realizar cerca del paciente, sin necesidad de desplazamientos ni sedación. Todas estas características hacen que sea una técnica recomendable para utilizar en la población pediátrica que, por su corta edad, es más vulnerable a las radi…

Laparoscopic treatment of a large pedunculated hemangioma of the liver: a case report

2016

Hepatic hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the liver, often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. A 62-year-old woman was referred to our Institution under the suspicion of having an 8 cm-sized GIST. Due to the atypical features of the lesion on TC scan, a biopsy was performed. We report the case of pedunculated hepatic hemangioma with the aim to discuss the diagnostic approach, the possible causes of misdiagnosis and the opportunity of the laparoscopic approach.

Noninvasive diagnostic techniques of port wine stain.

2021

Port-wine stain (PWS) is a benign capillary malformation that most commonly occurs in the head and neck. It is present at birth and progresses over time. It is formed by progressive dilatation of post-capillary venules and is associated with hypertrophy and nodularity with increasing age, leading to cosmetic disfigurement and psychological aggravation. It is caused by genetic mosaicism in GNAQ and GNA11 genes. Histopathology is the gold standard for assessment of PWS but it is invasive and may cause scarring. Inadequate characterization of the lesions may predispose to inadequate treatment protocols as well as higher treatment dosages. Clinical evaluation of treatment efficacy is subjective…

Moderne Diagnostik zystischer Leberläsionen und Hämangiome

2015

Clinical issue: Cystic liver lesions incorporate a broad heterogeneous group of mostly benign but also malignant abnormalities. The radiological aim is the non-invasive diagnosis with the use of different imaging modalities to determine the type of lesion.Standard radiological methods: The common generally asymptomatic incidental findings of cystic lesions on ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) must be classified on the basis of specific imaging features. Such a differentiation is essential because the clinical consequences and the appropriate therapy can vary depending on the underlying pathology. Due to the morphological overlap of many cystic lesions…

First-trimester neck abnormalities: three-dimensional evaluation.

1998

In order to study the first trimester ultrasonographic differences between nuchal translucency and hygroma colli, we rescanned 25 fetuses (13 with nuchal translucency and 12 with hygroma colli) using transvaginal and three-dimensional ultrasonography, after obtaining a fetal karyotype report. Our objective was to test the premise that the different physiopathologic mechanisms of both processes would be reflected in detectable sonographic differences. Our retrospective analysis showed that the most striking ultrasonographic difference was the presence of bullae as well as greater irregularity, extent, and amplitude of the membrane in cases of hygroma colli. Fetuses with simple nuchal translu…

Macular edema: Miscellaneous.

2010

International audience; Abstract. This article provides the reader with practical information to be applied to the various remaining causes of macular edema. Some macular edemas linked to ocular diseases like radiotherapy after ocular melanomas remained of poor functional prognosis due to the primary disease. On the contrary, macular edemas occurring after retinal detachment or after some systemic or local treatment use are often temporary. Macular edema associated with epiretinal membranes or vitreomacular traction is the main cause of poor functional recovery. However, the delay to observe a significant improvement of vision after surgery should be long, as usually observed in tractional …

Blood pressure variability and cardiovascular risk in 9 eastern european countries: data from the BP-Care study

2015

Methods: Total 327 patients were enrolled from 2008 to 2011 in the Korean registry program. They met the criteria of PAH and we investigated the clinical data, the medication prescribed and survival status et al. Results: Their mean age was 40.8 15.8years with female /male patient ratio of 2.7:1. The patients in WHO I/II were 32.4% and WHO III/IV were 67.6%. The peak/mean pulmonary arterial pressure was 86.3/ 56.6 mmHg. Idiopathic PAH (22%), connective tissue disease (24%) and congenital heart disease (46%) were predominant. Small number of patients with familial PAH, portal hypertension, HIV infection, pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) existed. The patients described bosentan were …

Management of the oral hemangiomas in infants and children : scoping review

2019

Background Pediatric oral hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that can be seen from birth, particularly in females. Hemangiomas are most frequent located in the lips and usually regress spontaneously, thus they do not require any type of treatment in most cases. The present scoping review pretended to synthesize the most relevant and currently available information from the international dental literature published in the last 25 years, regarding the management of pediatric oral hemangiomas. Material and Methods An exhaustive literature search was performed in four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, and Cochrane). Initially, 241 related titles and abstracts were found.…

Laser and other treatment options in the therapy of infantile capillary eyelid and periorbital hemangiomas: An overview

2010

Abstract Hemangiomas in infancy generally require a multidisciplinary approach. As a result of their natural course, usually with spontaneous involution, a “watch-and-wait” strategy often seems to be sufficient. Nevertheless, in periorbital hemangiomas not only cosmetic but also functional aspects may require an early intervention. There are many treatment options such as steroids, surgery, cryotherapy, magnesium seeds and laser. The present paper focuses on the different types of laser used in the treatment of infantile capillary eyelid and periorbital hemangiomas.
