Conservative surgery of renal cell carcinoma.

1986

Abstract From 1967 to 1985 conservative surgery (enucleation, n = 49; partial resection, n = 7) was performed for renal tumors in 57 patients (age 31-77, mean 54.8 years). Imperative indications for conservative surgery (n = 29) were chronic renal failure, benign pathology of contralateral kidney, functional or anatomical solitary kidney, and bilateral tumors. Elective conservative surgery (n = 28) was done for small, peripherally located lesions, in cases of uncertain malignancy and in one tumor detected by chance during stone surgery. Tumors removed for imperative indications were 2-11 cm (mean 5.8 cm) in size. In the elective group, tumor size ranged from 1 to 7 cm (mean 3.3 cm). Follow-…

Caecal leiomyoma detected by whole-body MRI in a patient with Hodgkin lymphoma: first case report

2017

Introduction. Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) is one of the most curable malignant diseases. Modern treatments, like the combined radiochemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, have increased the number of malignant disease survivors. However, HL survivors are at risk of long-term effects, including the development of solid tumors. Secondary neoplasms are a major cause of late morbidity and mortality following treatment for HL. Case report. We report the case of a male patient, treated for HL by chemotherapy, who developed a large leiomyoma of the cecum one year after the treatment. A whole-body Magnetic Resonance (WBMRI) scan performed during the follow-up allowed the detection of this incidental …

Blood group related antigens in ocular cicatricial pemphigoid

2004

Aim: To study the MUC5AC and the blood group related antigen expression in ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) according to the distribution of Lewis and secretor phenotypes in OCP patients compared to normal subjects. Methods: Immunostaining was performed on conjunctival biopsy specimens from 22 consecutive patients suffering from OCP, using monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) directed against the peptidic core MUC5AC mucin (anti-M1/MUC5AC Mabs) and against the saccharide moieties (anti-blood group related antigens). These latter included anti-Lea, anti-Leb, anti-sialyl Lea, and H type 2 Mabs, which immunoreact with Lewis positive and non-secretor (Lea), Lewis positive and secretor (Leb), Lewis p…

Is avoidance of surgery possible in patients with perimenopausal ovarian tumors using transvaginal ultrasound and duplex color Doppler sonography?

1993

A total of 108 cases of small perimenopausal ovarian tumors (largest diameter, less than 7 cm) were evaluated by transvaginal sonography and duplex color Doppler sonography; 101 had criteria for benignity and 7 for malignancy. All cysts were punctured and aspirated to avoid unnecessary surgery (benign cases) and establish the cytologic diagnosis as well as to avoid the risk of leakage (malignant cases). Recurrence rate of benign punctured cysts was 25% within 1 year of follow up. No difference in recurrent rate was seen between pre- and postmenopausal patients (19 of 56 cases in the premenopausal group, and five of 28 cases in the postmenopausal group). The larger the cyst, the greater the …

Laser treatment of giant xanthelasma palpebrarum

2013

Xanthelasma palpebrarum is the most common cutaneous xanthoma. It typically presents in middle-aged and older adults, most often around the eyelids. The diagnosis is made clinically. Giant xanthelasmas palpebrarum are xanthelasmas that extensively affect the superior and inferior bilateral eyelids. Many techniques have been put forward for treating these lesions (surgical, laser, and chemical techniques), but we describe our experience in the treatment of giant xanthelasmas by ultrapulsed CO2 laser. Between 2009 and 2012, in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Palermo, 12 patients with giant xanthelasmas were treated using a CO2 laser. The laser parameter…

Major ambulatory surgery in breast diseases.

2019

Abstract Introduction The use of ambulatory surgery (AS) for breast pathology (BP) has increased. The objective of this study is to analyse a group of patients treated surgically for breast pathology in order to evaluate its quality and security in a MAS setting in 2017. Methods A retrospective review of all patients undergoing breast surgery was conducted within an AS programme from January to December 2017 in Consorcio Hospital General Universitario of Valencia (CHGUV). The number of patients, exclusion reasons, the type of surgical procedures, the evolution of substitution rate (SI), the rate and the causes of conversion to admission, the post-operatory complications, the motives of not …

ELSA air traffic simulator: An empirically grounded agent based model for the SESAR scenario

2015

This paper describes the Air Traffic Simulator produced by the ELSA project. It is partially based on interacting agents taking actions during strategic and tactical phases: air companies, network manager, pilots, and controllers. The simulator is highly modular and each part can be used independently of the others. The code is open source, ready to use and available for the research community. Some results concerning the future organization of the European Airspace (free-routing) are presented, using the full capabilities of the model. We found that the implementation of free-routing could have a positive impact on the safety event occurrences that will be reduced in number although spread…

L'agenzia nazionale per l'amministrazione e la destinazione dei beni sequestrati e confiscati alla criminalità organizzata (d.l. 4.2.2011 n. 4, conv.…

2010

L’articolo esamina il d. l. n. 4 del 2010, convertito con modificazioni nella legge n. 50 del 2010 che ha istituito l’Agenzia nazionale per l’amministrazione e la destinazione dei beni sequestrati e confiscati alla criminalità organizzata. Il provvedimento legislativo si inserisce nel solco dei cosiddetti “pacchetti sicurezza del 2008 e del 2009 che, in una logica di sicurezza e di prevenzione hanno inciso, in diversa misura e in modo eterogeneo, sul codice penale e su quello di procedura penale, e su altri settori del nostro ordinamento giuridico, soprattutto per contrastare le più gravi forme di criminalità organizzata. Quest’ultimo provvedimento legislativo assume peculiare rilevanza in …

Aggregazione e centralizzazione della domanda pubblica di beni: stato dell'arte e proposte di migliorie al sistema vigente

2018

Il saggio esamina e discute le problematiche legate al sistema centralizzato degli acquisti nell’ambito degli appalti pubblici. Un tale sistema si basa su una pluralità di centrali di committenza e soggetti aggregatori operanti sia a livello statale sia locale. Attraverso un’analisi del quadro normativo vigente viene evidenziato come questo pluralismo accentuato metta a repentaglio il raggiungimento degli obiettivi che il sistema persegue, in primo luogo la revisione della spesa. Muovendo da tale profilo problematico il saggio propone alcune modifiche alla normativa mirate a rendere il sistema più razionale ed efficiente. Aggregation and centralization of the purchase of goods and services:…
