Intraoperative Ultrasound: Emerging Technology and Novel Applications in Brain Tumor Surgery

2022

Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) is becoming progressively more common during brain tumor surgery. We present data from our case series of brain tumor surgery performed with the aid of IOUS in order to identify IOUS advantages and crucial aspects that may improve the management of neurosurgical procedures for brain tumors. From January 2021 to September 2021, 17 patients with different brain tumors underwent brain tumor surgery aided by the use of IOUS. During surgery, the procedure was supported by the use of multiples ultrasonographic modalities in addition to standard B-mode: Doppler, color Doppler, elastosonography, and contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound (CEUS). In selected cas…

Mycophenolate mofetil and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium in the treatment of pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus.

2014

What is known and objective: Pemphigus is a severe, potentially life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease. The use of corticosteroids has dramatically improved the prognosis and changed its course. However, current morbidity of pemphigus is largely iatrogenic, caused by side effects of the long-term, high-dose corticosteroid therapy that is necessary to sustain disease control. In order to minimize side effects, a range of corticosteroid-sparing immunosuppressive agents have been introduced, including mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS). A systematic review was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of MMF and EC-MPS in the treatment of pemphig…

Canciones infantiles revisitadas : las nanas en la lírica de Federico García Lorca

2005

Este estudio trata de exponer las interferencias culturales entre la esfera oral, tradicional y anónima, y la esfera culta, escrita e individual, que caracterizan las composiciones lorquianas inspiradas en cantares de arrullo. Se pone de manifiesto la especificidad de la canción de cuna en la lírica de Lorca, en contraste con otros géneros tradicionales y con algún otro autor “neopopular”. El punto de partida de tal interpretación se basa en el análisis de la famosa conferencia de finales de 1928 en que Lorca expresa su visión de la nana española como canto intrínsecamente trágico. Se analiza en un segundo momento las huellas del cantar de cuna en las primeras obras líricas de Lorca para po…

Behavioural adaptations of argulid parasites (Crustacea: Branchiura) to major challenges in their life cycle

2015

Fish lice (Argulus spp.) are obligate ectoparasites, which contrary to most aquatic parasites, retain the ability to swim freely throughout the whole of their life. In fish farms, they can quickly increase in numbers and without effective control cause argulosis, which results in the reduced growth and survival of their fish hosts. The morphology of Argulus spp, including their sensory organs, is suitable for both parasitism and free-swimming. By spending a considerable amount of time away from their host, these parasites risk being excessively dispersed, which could endanger mating success. Here we present a review of recent studies on the behaviour of Argulus spp, especially the aggregati…
