Langzeitverlauf 10 Jahre nach transpupillarer Thermotherapie (TTT) kleiner, posteriorer maligner Aderhautmelanome
2011
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term results of transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) for small malignant choroidal melanomas. Patients and methods In the time period 1/1998 to 10/1999 in a prospective non-randomised analysis 26 eyes with small malignant melanomas (located posterior to the equator with base ≤ 12 and thickness ≤ 4.5 mm) were primary treated with the TTT standard protocol (follow-up over a time span of at least 10 years). Results Thirteen women and thirteen men (mean age: 64 years) underwent TTT. The mean preoperative tumour thickness was 2.45 mm (0.8 - 4.5 mm). Ten years postoperatively tumour regression without recurrence after 1.4 treatment sessions …
Práctica 8. Fisioterapia en el linfedema de miembros superiores
2011
El tratamiento multidisciplinar de un linfedema se basa en la aplicación de medidas para asistir el drenaje linfático, y así evitar alteraciones fibroescleróticas de la piel. Es decir, consiste en un tratamiento paliativo que pretende: 1) Disminuir el volumen; 2) Reducir los síntomas (dolor, pesadez, parestesias, etc.); 3) Evitar la evolución a estadios avanzados y la aparición de complicaciones. Para ello se recurre a las siguientes medidas fisioterápicas: el postural en declive, la respiración abdomino-diafragmática y torácica, el drenaje linfático manual, la presoterapia neumática, las medidas de contención-compresión y la cinesiterapia. El tractament multidisciplinar d’un limfedema es f…
Práctica 6. Exploración clínica venosa
2011
La exploración clínico-funcional sigue siendo uno de los pilares fundamentales para el diagnóstico de los trastornos circulatorios. Es preferible iniciar la exploración con los métodos clásicos de Anamnesis y la exploración física para acabar con métodos diagnósticos instrumentales como: el Doppler venoso continuo, la Eco-Doppler, la Pletismografía de oclusión venosa la Flebografía-radioisotópica o radiológica, etc. L’exploració clínico-funcional continua sent un dels pilars fonamentals per al diagnòstico dels trastorns circulatoris. És preferible iniciar l’exploració amb els mètodes clàsics d’Anamnesi i l’exploració física per acabar amb els mètodes diagnòstics instrumentals com ara: el Do…
La sindrome orticaria-angioedema: una patologia internistica ad espressione cutanea. [Urticaria and angioedema. A general affection rather than a spe…
2004
Urticaria and angioedema will affect 15-20% of the general population during their lifetime, and this remains one of the most vexing conditions to evaluate and treat. This review of the literature is to give the reader a global insight into the spectrum of urticaria and angioedema, focusing on differential diagnosis and pathogenic mechanisms. It will define the role of the mast cell, exploring a possible autoimmune basis for urticaria. Last, the different potential treatments will be discussed. Urticaria and angioedema are frustrating problems for both physicians and their patients; however, the problem may best be approached by considering urticaria as a general affection rather than a spe…

Risk of Death Associated With Intravitreal Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
2020
Importance Although intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment represents the first-line therapy for many retinal diseases, the issue of their systemic safety is debatable. Objectives To assess whether intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy might be associated with increased risk of mortality and which variables are associated with the increase. Data Sources PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched from inception to May 6, 2019. Study Selection Randomized clinical trials comparing intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment with control groups and with follow-up of at least 6 months were selected. Data Extractio…
Intravitreal dexamethasone implant versus anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy combined with cataract surgery in patients with diabetic ma…
2021
Objective: to compare outcomes of cataract surgery combined with either anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (anti-VEGF) therapy or dexamethasone implant (DEX) in patients with diabetic macular oedema (DMO). Methods: Pubmed and Embase databases were searched for studies reporting outcomes of diabetic cataract surgery combined with either anti-VEGF or DEX, with a follow-up ≥3 months. The primary outcome was the mean change in central macular thickness (CMT). Mean change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was considered as a secondary outcome. The mean difference between baseline and post-treatment values (MD) with 95%-Confidence Interval (95%CI) was calculated and meta-analyses were p…
Idiopathic Seidlmayer's Purpura: A Case Report
2014
Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) was considered a rare form of Henoch-Schönlein purpura; however, it is now regarded as an independent disease typically involving patients aged 4-24 months. The authors describe the clinical case of a toddler aged 8 months, with skin erythematous pomphoid<b> </b>lesions, treated at home with topical steroids without benefits. The appearance of new lesions and the worsening of the previous skin signs induced the parents to drive the child to the hospital. The medical history revealed the administration of a vaccine dose 2 months before.
