How important is the role of iterative liver direct surgery in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma for a transplant center located in an area with…

2022

IntroductionHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for nearly 90% of primary liver cancers, with estimates of over 1 million people affected by 2025. We aimed to explore the impacting role of an iterative surgical treatment approach in a cohort of HCC patients within the Milan criteria, associated with clinical risk factors for tumor recurrence (RHCC) after liver transplant (LT) and loco-regional therapies (LRT), as well as liver resection (LR) and/or microwave thermal ablation (MWTA).MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed our experience performed during an 8-year period between January 2013 and December 2021 in patients treated for HCC, focusing on describing the impact on preoperative end-st…

Calculation of ternary polymer solution phase diagram via compressible lattice fluid model extended to specific interactions

2012

Ternary polymer solutions are currently employed for the production of porous structures (e.g. membranes and scaffolds for tissue engineering) via liquid-liquid phase separation techniques. The relation between processing conditions and thermodynamic features of the considered polymeric system determines the morphology of the as-prepared membrane. Therefore, in order to achieve a better control on a porous structure, a deep characterization of the phase behavior of a polymer solution is needed. The experimental derivation of phase diagrams is highly cost and time consuming, thus usually the cloud point curves of the system are directly measured. In this work, the compressible lattice fluid …

Periscope endograft technique to revascularize the left subclavian artery during thoracic endovascular aortic repair.

2013

Purpose: To present early and midterm results of the periscope endograft (PG) technique to maintain left subclavian artery (LSA) blood flow in thoracic endovascular aortic repairs (TEVAR) involving zone 3. Methods: From April 2010 to January 2013, 14 consecutive high-risk patients (11 men; mean age 7068 years, range 56–87) underwent TEVAR with the PG technique for 10 thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA), 2 traumatic aortic ruptures, and 2 aortic dissections without a suitable landing zone (.2 cm distal to the LSA). Five procedures were performed emergently for rupture (3 TAAs and the 2 trauma cases). Two patients had a periscope deployed in an aberrant right subclavian artery. The periscope endo…

Pęknięty tętniak aorty zstępującej - duże wyzwanie dla niedużego ośrodka chirurgii naczyniowej

2018

Pacjentka, lat 76, została skierowana do Uniwersyteckiego Szpitala Klinicznego w Opolu z powodu podejrzenia rozwarstwienia aorty wstępującej i tamponady osierdzia. Przy przyjęciu chora w stanie ogólnym skrajnie ciężkim, z objawami głębokiego wstrząsu, niestabilna hemodynamicznie oraz wentylowana mechanicznie. W wykonanym doraźnie badaniu angio-TK stwierdzono rozwarstwienie aorty zstępującej z pękniętym tętniakiem w jej środkowym i dolnym odcinku oraz duży krwiak lewej jamy opłucnowej. Ze względu na znaczną szerokość aorty zstępującej, nawet w jej początkowym odcinku oraz aorty brzusznej powyżej pnia trzewnego do zaopatrzenia tętniaka potrzebne są dwa elementy stentgraftów o średnicy 46 mm. …

Thrombolysis Followed by Apixaban for Massive Pulmonary Embolism and Free-floating Thrombus in Right Ventricle in a Patient with Breast Cancer

2018

Free-floating thrombus in the right ventricle, associated with a massive acute pulmonary embolism (PE), is a rare phenomenon. PE is an important clinical entity with considerable mortality despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. The prognosis of PE depends on right ventricular dysfunction, myocardial injury markers, and early treatment. In this report, we present the case of a 71-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer admitted to intensive care unit for PE complicated by syncope. Although our case may seem complex because it is not represented in the guidelines, the result was satisfactory and showed how treatment with new anticoagulants (in this case apixaban) after massive th…

Personas, kurai ir tiesības uz aizstāvību, liecības kā pierādījums

2022

Maģistra darbā tiek vērsta uzmanība uz konkrētu pierādījuma veidu – personas, kurai ir tiesības uz aizstāvību, liecībām un ar to saistīto problemātiku, īpaši kontekstā ar grozījumiem Krimināllikumā un Kriminālprocesa likumā, ar kuriem likumdevējs vēlējies stingri noteikt – ja liecini, tad tikai patiesi. Darba mērķis ir apzināt problēmas saistībā ar personas, kurai ir tiesības uz aizstāvību, pienākumu sniegt tikai patiesas liecības, izvērtēt, vai likumdevēja izvirzītais mērķis jaunieviestā regulējuma sakarā varētu būt objektīvi sasniedzams un līdzekļi atbilstoši, kā arī akcentēt normu piemērošanas problēmātiku praksē. Pētījuma rezultātā autore norāda uz problēmjautājumiem, kas saistīti ar gr…

Indivīda veselība un dzīvība kā pamats tiesību uz īpašumu ierobežošanai Eiropā

2016

Tirgus globalizācija ir pamats konkurencei. Ražotāju konkurence kopumā ir patērētāju interesēs, tomēr tirgus atvērtībai ir arī būtiska negatīva ietekme – valstīm ir grūtāk kontrolēt ražotāju rīcību, preču kvalitāti, pieprasījumu pēc veselībai kaitīgām precēm. Dažādu neinfekciju slimību straujās izplatības pamatā ir tādu kaitīgu preču lielais pieprasījums kā alkoholiskie dzērieni, tabakas izstrādājumi un neveselīga pārtika. Darbā autors pēta pastāvošo regulējumu attiecībā uz minēto preču aprites ierobežošanu, kā arī pēta jaunākās tendences, kas pasaulē redzamas attiecībā uz kaitīgo preču kontroli. Tāpat tiek analizēts un secināts, vai indivīda veselības labad pieņemts regulējums par vienkārš…

A Time-Non-Homogeneous Double-Ended Queue with Failures and Repairs and Its Continuous Approximation

2018

We consider a time-non-homogeneous double-ended queue subject to catastrophes and repairs. The catastrophes occur according to a non-homogeneous Poisson process and lead the system into a state of failure. Instantaneously, the system is put under repair, such that repair time is governed by a time-varying intensity function. We analyze the transient and the asymptotic behavior of the queueing system. Moreover, we derive a heavy-traffic approximation that allows approximating the state of the systems by a time-non-homogeneous Wiener process subject to jumps to a spurious state (due to catastrophes) and random returns to the zero state (due to repairs). Special attention is devoted to the cas…
