Expression of 60-kD Heat Shock Protein Increases during Carcinogenesis in the Uterine Exocervix
2002
<i>Objectives:</i> The aim of the present study was to determine the presence and expression of the 60-kD heat shock protein (HSP60) in the dysplasia-carcinoma sequence in the uterine exocervix and to evaluate its diagnostic and prognostic significance. <i>Methods and Results:</i> We performed Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses on biopsies from 40 cases, consisting of 10 normal exocervical biopsies, 10 low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (L-SIL), 10 high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (H-SIL) and 10 cancerous exocervices (G2 grade). The immunohistochemical results were quantified by computer-assisted image analysis. Western blot analysis sho…
The campomelic syndrome: review, report of 17 cases, and follow-up on the currently 17-year-old boy first reported by Maroteaux et al in 1971.
1983
We report 17 cases of the campomelic syndrome (CS) and a follow-up of one of the original patients of Maroteaux et al who is now 17 years old. Our review is based on 97 patients, including our own. An infant with the CS presents at birth with spectacularly short and bowed femora and tibiae. The initial chest radiograph confirms the diagnosis by demonstrating extremely small bladeless scapulae and hypoplastic pedicles of many thoracic vertebrae. Ossification of the sternal segments, pubis, talus, and knee epiphyses is also retarded. Usually the hips are dislocated and talipes equinovarus deformities are present. There is a small chondrocranium and a disproportionately large neurocranium. The…
Chondrodysplasia punctata, tibia-metacarpal (MT) type.
1990
We describe 7 patients with a new form of chondrodysplasia punctata. Its principal clinical manifestations are flat midface and nose, short limbs, and otherwise normal development. Consistent radiologic manifestations in the newborn infant are discrete calcific stippling, coronal clefts of vertebral bodies, short tibiae, and shortness of the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones. Radiologic findings in the older child include shortness of tibiae and the 3rd and 4th metacarpals.
Stippled epiphyses in fetal alcohol syndrome.
1990
We report on punctate epiphyseal calcifications (stippled epiphyses) in the fetal alcohol syndrome and present the differential diagnosis of chondrodysplasia punctata. A literature survey shows that epiphyseal calcifications accompanying alcoholic embryopathy are regularly located in the lower limbs and rarely found in the upper extremities.
Cementless acetabular reconstruction and structural bone-grafting in dysplastic hips. Surgical technique.
2007
BACKGROUND: Studies of acetabular reconstruction with use of cement and bulk bone graft have demonstrated increasing rates of cup failure in patients with dysplastic hips seven years after total hip arthroplasty. Comparable data on the long-term results of bulk bone-grafting done in conjunction with cementless implants are limited. The aim of this study was to review the clinical and radiographic results of autologous bulk bone-grafting in conjunction with a cementless cup. METHODS: From 1987 to 1992, forty-seven patients (forty women and seven men, with an average age of 50.4 years) who had developmental dysplasia of the hip underwent fifty-six total hip arthroplasties and received a struc…
Maxillary bone lesions in McCune-Albright syndrome:a case report
2011
Abstract Objectives In this study, we report on the clinical maxillary manifestations of a patient affected by McCune-Albright syndrome and the implications for orthodontic therapy. Materials and methods A male, 8-year-old patient was examined at the Department of Orthodontics of the University of L’Aquila for a problem of anterior open-bite. In the clinical examination, a small swelling of the left hemi-maxilla was seen in the area corresponding to the root apex of 16 and under the tooth buds of 14 and 15. In a panoramic radiograph, a radio-opaque area was detected in this zone. From the computer tomography examination, a bone lesion was identified. Results Identification of this bone lesi…
Spinal anaesthesia in a patient with post-spine surgery dural ectasia.
2013
Dural sac ectasia is a very infrequent anatomical abnormality, usually caused by connective tissue diseases, as Marfan syndrome. Very few cases have been described being a consequence of a previous spine surgical procedure. We describe the case of an elderly patient who should be operated on twice due to sub-occlusive colon disease. Surgery was performed under spinal anaesthesia. A dural sac ectasia was suspected after the first procedure and the abdominal X-ray was reviewed. The characteristics of the anatomical alteration and the course of both anaesthetic procedures were described. X-ray and CT images were provided.
Condromatosis sinovial de la articulación temporomandibular: Estudio clínico, radiológico e histológico
2005
La condromatosis sinovial (CS) es una metaplasia cartilaginosa de los remanentes mesenquimales del tejido sinovial de las articulaciones. Se caracteriza por la formación de nódulos cartilaginosos en la sinovial y en la cavidad articular (cuerpos libres). La CS afecta sobre todo a grandes articulaciones sinoviales como la rodilla o el codo, siendo rara su aparición en la ATM, en donde tan solo 75 casos han sido publicados. Los síntomas predominantes son dolor, inflamación, limitación de los movimientos mandibulares y crepitación. Los métodos diagnósticos incluyen la ortopantomografía (OPG), la TC, la RM y la artroscopia de ATM. Presentamos un nuevo caso de CS unilateral de ATM, incluyendo la…
The Skull in Achondroplasia
1988
The growth disorder in achondroplasia results from abnormalities of endochondral bone formation. Cranial abnormalities originate from the occipital bone, the only region where enchondral bone is formed.
Hüftgelenkssonographie bei Skelettdysplasien mit metaphysärer Beteiligung
1988
Skeletal dysplasias with metaphyseal involvement show radiological changes which permit their classification. There are, however, changes in the cartilage which could be demonstrated by hip sonography in two children, one with Stickler's syndrome and the other with metaphyseal chondrodysplasia. The dangers of mis-diagnosis are discussed.
