P343 Procalcitonin role in the management of lower respiratory tract infections in preschool children

2017

Introduction One of the major advantage of procalcitonin compared to other parameters is its highly and early increase in response to bacterial infection. The increased procalcitonin levels can be observed 3 to 6 hours after infectious challenge. It is a parameter that made a significant contribution to the clinical diagnosis, severity of infection and in the same time procalcitonin kinetics cand be used to assess the effectiveness of treatment. Methods A single- centre observational study consecutively enrolled 70 preschool children with lower respiratory tract infections who were hospitalised in Paediatric Clinic Hospital of Sibiu between January 2013 and January 2017. Procalcitonin, were…

Primary extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas of the uterus and the breast: report of three cases

1995

The authors describe one case of a rare primitive non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the uterus, and two cases of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the breast. Histologically, the uterine lymphoma, although clinically confined to the uterus, was a diffuse large cell lymphoma, group G according to the Working formulation for Clinical Usage. The two cases of breast lymphoma were a centrocytic-centroblastic and a lymphoplasmocytoid non-Hodgkin lymphoma, respectively. All cases were initally treated with radical surgery plus radiotherapy, but the first patient showed an early recurrence at distant sites, which required systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy. The patient with uterine non-Hodgkin lymphoma received a…

Gene Rearrangements and Other Molecular Features in Aggressive B-Cell Lymphomas of Patients with and without HIV-Infection

2015

Abstract Aggressive B-cell Lymphomas are the second most frequent AIDS-defining cancers. Few studies have compared the molecular characteristics of aggressive B-cell lymphomas in patients with and without HIV-infection; and to our knowledge, there are no reports comparing the incidence of gene rearrangements between the two groups and their impact on outcome in series treated with RCHOP. We retrospectively studied two series of patients with (N=32) and without HIV-infection (N=43) with diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) NOS (75% and 70%, respectively), T-rich DLCBL (13% and 5%), transformed DLBCL (3% and 14%) and double-hit (DH) DLCBL (9% and 11%) [defined by translocations affecting MY…

Oral manifestations of eating disorders: a critical review.

2008

Background:  Eating disorders (ED) are a group of psychopathological disorders affecting patient relationship with food and her/his own body, which manifests through distorted or chaotic eating behavior; they include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and ED not otherwise specified and may be burdened with life-threatening complications. As oral manifestations of ED can occur in many phases of disease progression, they play a significant role in assessment, characterization and prognosis of ED. Methods:  Mucosal, dental, and salivary abnormalities associated with ED have been reviewed. Relations between oral menifestations and pathogenesis, management and prognosis of ED have been critically…

Psychometric Evaluation of the Eating Disorder Examination Adapted for Children

2013

The Eating Disorder Examination adapted for children (ChEDE) is the child version of the semi-structured gold standard eating disorder interview for adults. This study was a comprehensive test statistic evaluation of the German ChEDE in a large sample of children and adolescents with anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, loss of control eating, overweight and obesity, as well as non-eating-disordered and chronically ill control probands (n = 352). Excellent inter-rater reliability, adequate internal consistency and satisfactory stability of ChEDE indicators were demonstrated. ChEDE indicators discriminated between diverse forms of eating and weight disturbances and normative eating and w…

Consensus Guidelines for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Neuropsychopharmacology: Update 2017

2017

AbstractTherapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the quantification and interpretation of drug concentrations in blood to optimize pharmacotherapy. It considers the interindividual variability of pharmacokinetics and thus enables personalized pharmacotherapy. In psychiatry and neurology, patient populations that may particularly benefit from TDM are children and adolescents, pregnant women, elderly patients, individuals with intellectual disabilities, patients with substance abuse disorders, forensic psychiatric patients or patients with known or suspected pharmacokinetic abnormalities. Non-response at therapeutic doses, uncertain drug adherence, suboptimal tolerability, or pharmacokinetic drug…

P-869 - „Two great masqueraders” in a psychiatry clinic - case series of neurosyphilis and neuroborreliosis

2012

Background Neurosyphilis can develop at any stage of syphilis despite of previously recieved treatment, and it can mimic any neuropschychiatric disorder. The psychopathology of neuroborreliosis is less described. Objectives To describe the cases of schizophrenia - like psychosis in patients with these hronic neuroinfections. Methods and materials Retrospective chart review study of five inmates (four with neurosyphilis and one with neuroborreliosis) was performed. Results Psychiatric histories of two females (45 and 49 y.o.) and three males (31, 40, 45 y.o.) are achieved. In four cases they were initially misdiagnosed as paranoid schizophrenia and in one case - as a persistent alcoholic hal…

Effects of atypical antipsychotics on neurocognition in euthymic bipolar patients

2010

International audience; n.a

2021

To foster understanding in the psychopathology of patients with anorexia nervosa (PAN) at the psychological and physiological level, standardized experimental studies on reliable biomarkers are needed, especially due to the lack of disorder-specific samples. To this end, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) response to a psychosocial stressor was investigated in n = 19 PAN (BMI: 18.7 ± 3.3 kg/m2), age, and gender-matched to n = 19 healthy controls (HC; BMI: 24.23 ± 3.0 kg/m2). For this purpose, heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters were assessed in a cross-sectional study design under two experimental conditions: (1) rest and (2) stress (Trier Social Stress Test). In add…
