An international perspective on hospitalized patients with viral community-acquired pneumonia
2019
Background Who should be tested for viruses in patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP), prevalence and risk factors for viral CAP are still debated. We evaluated the frequency of viral testing, virus prevalence, risk factors and treatment coverage with oseltamivir in patients admitted for CAP. Methods Secondary analysis of GLIMP, an international, multicenter, point-prevalence study of hospitalized adults with CAP. Testing frequency, prevalence of viral CAP and treatment with oseltamivir were assessed among patients who underwent a viral swab. Univariate and multivariate analysis was used to evaluate risk factors. Results 553 (14.9%) patients with CAP underwent nasal swab. Viral CA…
Dental implants placement in paranoid squizofrenic patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder: A case report
2017
Background Paranoid schizophrenia is a mental illness that involves no observable anatomical alteration. Main characteristic affects the personality of the individual, as well as areas of his own psychology. Case report A 33-year-old man with paranoid schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder in treatment with Haloperidol, Oxcarbazepine, Olanzapine and Seroquel is presented. Dental exploration showed widespread decay mostly cervical with numerous root fragments, agenesis of lateral incisors, impacted wisdom teeth, missing teeth and malocclusion. Treatment plan included restoration of teeth decay, extractions of root fragments and implant-supported prostheses in bilateral upper lateral…

Commentary: Dogs and the classic route of Guinea Worm transmission: an evaluation of copepod ingestion
2020
Dracunculus medinensis, the causative agent of Guinea worm disease in humans, is being reported with increasing frequency in dogs. However, the route(s) of transmission to dogs is still poorly understood. Classical transmission to humans occurs via drinking water that contains cyclopoid copepods infected with third stage larvae of D. medinensis, but due to the method of dog drinking (lapping) compared to humans (suction and/or retrieval of water into containers), it seems unlikely that dogs would ingest copepods readily through drinking. We exposed lab raised beagles to varying densities of uninfected copepods in 2 liters of water to evaluate the number of copepods ingested during a drinkin…
Use of asthma medication during pregnancy and risk of specific congenital anomalies: A European case-malformed control study.
2015
Background: Pregnant women with asthma need to take medication during pregnancy.Objective: We sought to identify whether there is an increased risk of specific congenital anomalies after exposure to antiasthma medication in the first trimester of pregnancy.Methods: We performed a population-based case-malformed control study testing signals identified in a literature review. Odds ratios (ORs) of exposure to the main groups of asthma medication were calculated for each of the 10 signal anomalies compared with registrations with nonchromosomal, nonsignal anomalies as control registrations. In addition, exploratory analyses were done for each nonsignal anomaly. The data set included 76,249 reg…
Hepatitis C virus prevalence and level of intervention required to achieve the WHO targets for elimination in the European Union by 2030: a modelling…
2017
Background Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the European Union (EU), treatment and cure of HCV with direct-acting antiviral therapies began in 2014. WHO targets are to achieve a 65% reduction in liver-related deaths, a 90% reduction of new viral hepatitis infections, and 90% of patients with viral hepatitis infections being diagnosed by 2030. This study assessed the prevalence of HCV in the EU and the level of intervention required to achieve WHO targets for HCV elimination. Methods We populated country Markov models for the 28 EU countries through a literature search of PubMed and Embase between Jan 1, 2000, and March 31, 201…
Peri-implantitis-like medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw: Clinical considerations and histological evaluation with confocal laser scanning m…
2021
Objective: In the recent years, an increasing number of peri-implant medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (PI-MRONJ) have been reported in literature, both in oncologic and osteoporotic patients. The aim of this study is to describe 19 cases of patients previously diagnosed as affected by peri-implantitis, who were treated for PI-MRONJ, with consideration on clinical and histopathological features. Materials and Methods: Patients included were affected by postmenopausal osteoporosis and were administered with different antiresorptive drugs. Due to the presence of clinical and radiological signs of peri-implantitis not healed after non-surgical periodontal treatment, they were referre…

Die Beziehung zwischen der Guanethidin-Konzentration im Rattenherzen und dem Noradrenalingehalt
1962
Guanethidine was intravenously injected into rats and was subsequently determined in the hearts by extracting the tissue with trichloroacetic acid, purifying the extracts on cation exchange columns and by paper chromatography, and coupling the guanethidine with ninhydrin in alkaline solution before fluorimetric estimation. The concentration in the heart reached a maximum of 9 μg/g within 15 min of injecting 15 mg/kg, and was still 6.2 and 5.7 μg/g after 1 and 3 hours, respectively. Guanethidine caused a decrease of the heart noradrenaline concentration, measured fluorimetrically, by 56% in 3 hours and by 93% in 14 hours. The adrenaline concentration was likewise decreased. A metabolite with…
Attitudes toward Different Formulations of Psychotropic Drugs
2006
Attitudes toward psychotropic drug treatment are likely to be a factor in medication adherence and outcome, but preferences regarding different drug formulations have been rarely assessed. To explore attitudes toward different drug formulations in a cross-sectional study in psychiatric patients and a comparison group of healthcare professionals. Inpatients (n = 59, age 46 ± 14 years, 63% female) and staff members (n = 96, age 40 ± 10 years, 65% female) of a psychiatric department were surveyed using a questionnaire on attitudes toward 18 possible application forms of psychotropic drugs including newer formulations such as fast-dissolving tablets. The questionnaire asked respondents to rate …
