Giant cell arteritis associated with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection
2013
Giant cell arteritis is an inflammatory vasculopathy that preferentially affects medium-sized and large arteries. A viral cause has been suspected but not confirmed in polymyalgia rheumatica and giant-cell arteritis. We report the case of a 81-year-old female who suffered from chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection and developed giant cell temporal arteritis.
Kinematics of the patellofemoral joint. Investigations on a computer model with reference to patellar fractures.
1990
Patellofemoral kinematics were studied on a computer model. The articulating point of the patella moves from distal to proximal during flexion, until the quadriceps tendon starts to turn around the femur tendo-femoral gliding. The pattern of patellofemoral movement consists of a gliding and rolling component, the latter at its maximum at the beginning of flexion. The pathway of the instant centers of motion moves from dorsal to ventral during flexion. Stress analysis shows that the contact area is at all times the area of maximum bending stress. The distal part of the patella is the part with mechanical stress at all angles of flexion. The conclusions to be drawn for treatment are that frac…
Simultaneous chronic rupture of quadriceps tendon and contra-lateral patellar tendon in a patient affected by tertiary hyperparatiroidism
2007
Abstract Spontaneous ruptures of the extensor mechanism of the knee are very rare. They tend to increase considerably in patients with metabolic diseases such as chronic renal failure, hyperparathyroidism, diabetes, gout, and systemic lupus erythematosus. The reported case regards a 48-year-old man with chronic, spontaneous and simultaneous quadriceps, and contra-lateral patellar tendon rupture. The patient suffered from chronic renal failure and for the past year from tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Ruptured tendons were repaired and both knee were evaluated monthly for the next 12 months. Good functional recovery was achieved on both knees without relapse. This case emphasizes the importanc…
Das rachitische X-Bein im Kindesalter
2003
Knee malpositions, for example valgus or varus deformations or flexion contractures, were often cited in the historical literature. In earlier times, clinical pictures such as rickets were often the reason for this kind of deformity. A causal therapy did not exist until the twentieth century. In most cases of rickets, genu valgum was reported as the typical knee deformation. The differential diagnosis for genu valgum caused by rickets was genu valgum traumaticum, paralyticum, and inflammatorium. The most important reports on the pathogenesis of valgus deformation can be found in publications by Hueter and von Mikulicz. The causal therapy of rickets was introduced at the beginning of the twe…
Uz ultrasonogrāfiju balstīta augšdelma muskuļaudu morfometriska izpēte
2019
Tēmas aktualitāte. Sasniegumi attēldiagnostikas metožu attīstībā rada jaunas iespējas muskuļu morfometrijas pētīšanai in vivo. Plašas pieejamības un relatīvi nelielu izmaksu dēļ pētnieki cenšas attīstīt ultrasonogrāfijas metodes un pierādīt to augsto uzticamību muskuļu kustību pētīšanai in vivo. Dziļāka muskuļu morfometrijas izpratne ļautu labāk saprast kustību biomehānismu un muskuloskeletālās sistēmas funkcionālās norises. Diplomdarba mērķis. Izstrādāt un aprobēt metodoloģiju ultrasonogrāfiskai m. biceps brachii morfometrijai kontrakcijas laikā. Metodes un materiāli. Eksperimentāla tipa pētījumā piedalījās pieci veseli vīrieši vecumā no 25 līdz 35 gadiem. Eksperimenta laikā katram dalībni…
N-ACETYL-ASPARTATE ABNORMALITIES IN INTERNAL-TEMPORAL EPILEPTICUS FOCUS USING PROTON MAGNETIC-RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY
1995
International audience; Abstract: The aim of this study was to characterize the neurochemical abnormalities related to N-acetyl-aspartate which is a neuronal marker, within an epilepticus focus located in the internal-temporal area, using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Eleven patients,with a mono-hippocampal epilepticus focus on clinical and per-critical electroencephalographical criteria, were matched with II controls by age, sex and laterality. Proton spectroscopy of a volume of 8 cm(3) was performed within the ipsilateral and the contralateral internal-temporal area and within the 2 hippocampus of controls. Volumetry of the ipsilateral and the contralateral hippocampus and of th…

Amígdalo-hipocampectomía selectiva guiada por endoscopia: estudio anatómico en cadáver, vías seguras de abordaje y comparación con las técnicas tradi…
2021
La amigdalo-hipocampectomía selectiva es una técnica quirúrgica descrita en 1973, utilizada en el tratamiento de la epilepsia temporomesial refractaria y que presenta, en casos seleccionados, resultados comparables con la lobectomía temporal anterior en términos de disminución del número de crisis, ofreciendo una tasa menor de secuelas funcionales y una mejor calidad de vida. A pesar de los grandes avances en la utilización del endoscopio en neurocirugía, en el campo de la cirugía de la epilepsia la endoscopia ha sido poco utilizada, limitándose su aplicación fundamentalmente a cirugía de desconexión con finalidad paliativa. Hipotesis de trabajo El presente estudio se propone definir los cr…
Role of the NF-kB pathway and nitric oxide in mammary gland involution after weaning. Implications in breast cancer
2013
INTRODUCCIÓN La glándula mamaria es un órgano dinámico que alcanza su máximo desarrollo funcional con la lactancia, momento en el cual, a través de la producción de leche, aporta nutrientes y protección inmunológica a las crías de los mamíferos. Cuando la lactancia finaliza con el destete, el exceso de tejido glandular debe desaparecer y la glándula sufre una extensa remodelación hasta alcanzar nuevamente un estado pre-gestacional, preparada para un nuevo ciclo. La involución del tejido mamario es un proceso complejo durante el cual se suceden de forma coordinada una serie de eventos como la muerte de las células epiteliales secretoras, la proliferación de tejido adiposo circundante y la re…
Pepsinogēna un gastrīna-17 nozīme autoimūna gastrīta diagnostikā
2015
Ievads: AG ir pārāk reti diagnosticēts stāvoklis ar augstu KV attīstības risku. Ilgstošas asimptomātiskas gaitas dēļ to ir grūti diagnosticēt, tāpēc nepieciešamas jaunas, efektīvas un mazāk invazīvas diagnostikas metodes. Mērķis: Darba mērķis ir analizēt seruma biomarķieru (pepsinogēns, G-17) nozīmīgumu AG diagnostikā. Materiāli un metodes: Pētījuma modelis ir nejaušās izlases princips, iekļaujot pacientus, kuri laika periodā no 2004. - 2014. gadam Gremošanas veikuši augšējā gastrointenstinālā trakta endoskopiju. Lai izmērītu seruma biomarķieru (pepsinogēns un G-17) līmeni, pacientiem tika ņemti asins paraugi. Balstoties uz Sidnejas klasifikāciju, tika ņemtas biopsijas. Rezultāti: Pētījumā …
