Development and Validation of a New Clinical Prediction Model of Catheter-Related Thrombosis Based on Vascular Ultrasound Diagnosis in Cancer Patients
2020
Background: Central venous catheters are convenient for drug delivery and improved comfort for cancer patients, but they also cause serious complications. The most common complication is catheter-related thrombosis (CRT). Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for CRT in cancer patients and develop an effective prediction model for CRT in cancer patients. Methods: The development of our prediction model was based on a retrospective cohort (n = 3,131) from the National Cancer Center. Our prediction model was confirmed in a prospective cohort from the National Cancer Center (n = 685) and a retrospective cohort from the Hunan Cancer Hospital (n = 61). The predi…

Valor pronóstico de la resonancia magnética cardiaca tras un infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST
2011
INTRODUCCIÓN Las enfermedades cardiovasculares, y en concreto el infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación de ST (IAMEST) son una importante causa de mortalidad en los países desarrollados. La resonancia magnética cardiaca (RMC) es una técnica cada vez más usada tras un IAMEST, permite un análisis simultáneo y fiable de varios índices cardiacos, que han demostrado valor para predecir la recuperación de la función sistólica. No obstante, los datos sobre su valor pronóstico son escasos y no hay estudios que realicen un análisis exhaustivo de todos los índices. Esta información es imprescindible para que la RMC se incorpore definitivamente a nuestra práctica clínica habitual. OBJETIVOS - Valora…
Influencia de la diabetes experimental sobre la reactividad de las arterias carótida y renal de conejo al péptido atrial natriurético : mecanismos im…
2013
La diabetes está asociada a una mayor prevalencia de hipertensión, ictus, enfermedades cardiovasculares y nefropatía. El péptido atrial natriurético (ANP) juega un papel importante en la fisiopatología cardiovascular y podría tener acciones protectoras cardiovasculares y nefrovasculares en pacientes diabéticos. En este trabajo hemos estudiado las modificaciones producidas por la diabetes en los mecanismos que regulan la respuesta de las arterias carótida y renal de conejo al ANP. La concentración plasmática de ANP en conejos diabéticos fue mayor que en conejos control. ARTERIA CARÓTIDA. El ANP indujo una relajación de la arteria carótida, que fue menor en conejo diabético que en conejo cont…
A Difficult Case of Necrotizing Fasciitis Caused By Acinetobacter baumannii
2010
This study reports the case of a 55-year-old woman with diabetes with a necrotizing fasciitis of the right lower limb and the perineum, first admitted at the emergency department for septic shock with cardiac arrest, and later transferred to the department of surgery. Microbiological and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis caused by Acinetobacter baumanii. A broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy was administered and later readjusted according to the results of microbiological culture. Intensive hemodynamic support was required. Wounds were dressed daily with a 3 percent boric acid solution and a silver sulfadiazine-impregnated dressing. An extensive s…
Epithelial contribution to the profibrotic stiff microenvironment and myofibroblast population in lung fibrosis
2017
The contribution of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to the profibrotic stiff microenvironment and myofibroblast accumulation in pulmonary fibrosis remains unclear. We examined EMT-competent lung epithelial cells and lung fibroblasts from control (fibrosisfree) donors or patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which is a very aggressive fibrotic disorder. Cells were cultured on profibrotic conditions including stiff substrata and TGF-β1, and analyzed in terms of morphology, stiffness, and expression of EMT/myofibroblast markers and fibrillar collagens. All fibroblasts acquired a robust myofibroblast phenotype on TGF-β1 stimulation. Yet IPF myofibroblasts exhibited highe…
Clinical profiles and quality of care of subjects with type 2 diabetes according to their cardiovascular risk: an observational, retrospective study
2021
Abstract Background The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recently defined cardiovascular risk classes for subjects with diabetes. Aim of this study was to explore the distribution of subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) by cardiovascular risk groups according to the ESC classification and to describe the quality indicators of care, with particular regard to cardiovascular risk factors. Methods The study is based on data extracted from electronic medical records of patients treated at the 258 Italian diabetes centers participating in the AMD Annals initiative. Patients with T2D were stratified by cardiovascular risk. General descriptive indicators, measures of intermediate outcomes, inten…
ABNORMALLY HIGH THROMBOXANE BIOSYNTHESIS IN HOMOZYGOUS HOMOCYSTINURIA. EVIDENCE FOR PLATELET INVOLVEMENT AND PROBUCOL-SENSITIVE MECHANISM.
1993
Homocystinuria due to homozygous cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency is an inborn error of metabolism characterized by a high incidence of thrombosis and premature atherosclerosis. We evaluated TXA2 biosynthesis in vivo and several in vitro tests of platelet function in 11 homocystinuric patients and 12 healthy controls. In vitro, patients' platelet aggregation was within control values as were TXB2 formation, fibrinogen binding, and ATP secretion in response to thrombin. In contrast, the urinary excretion of 11-dehydro-TXB2, a major enzymatic derivative of TXA2, was > 2 SD of controls in all patients (1,724 +/- 828 pg/mg creatinine, mean +/- SD, in patients vs. 345 +/- 136 in controls, …
