EURECCA colorectal: multidisciplinary management: European consensus conference colon & rectum.

2014

Contains fulltext : 137861.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) BACKGROUND: Care for patients with colon and rectal cancer has improved in the last 20years; however considerable variation still exists in cancer management and outcome between European countries. Large variation is also apparent between national guidelines and patterns of cancer care in Europe. Therefore, EURECCA, which is the acronym of European Registration of Cancer Care, is aiming at defining core treatment strategies and developing a European audit structure in order to improve the quality of care for all patients with colon and rectal cancer. In December 2012, the first multidisciplinary consensus conference about…

Dog sperm head morphometry: its diversity and evolution

2017

Dogs have been under strong artificial selection as a consequence of their relationship with man. Differences between breeds are evident that could be reflected in seminal characteristics. The present study was to evaluate differences in sperm head morphometry between seven well-defined breeds of dog: the British Bulldog, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Spanish Mastiff, Staffordshire Terrier, and Valencian Rat Hunting dog. Semen samples were obtained by masturbation and smears stained with Diff-Quik. Morphometric analysis (CASA-Morph) produced four size and four shape parameters. Length, Ellipticity, and Elongation showed higher differences between breeds. MANOVA revealed di…

Ģimenes anamnēzes raksturojums pacientiem ar primāru hiperlipidēmiju

2018

Tēmas aktualitāte: Ģimenes hiperholesterinēmija (ĢH) ir autosomāli ominant slimība, kas savlaicīgi neatpazīstot un neuzsākot atbilstošu terapiju, var rezultēties agrīnos kardiovaskulāros notikumos. Latvija ir pirmā no Baltijas valstīm, kur funkcionē ĢH reģistrs. Mērķis: Raksturot ģimenes anamnēzes datu pieejamību pacientiem, kas iekļauti LĢRH. Materiāli un metodes: Tika analizēta ģimenes slimības vēstures datu pieejamība, izmantojot LĢHR pacientu anketas. Rezultāti: Līdz 2017. gada oktobrim LĢHR tika iekļauti 356 pacienti, no kuriem 294 (82.6%) bija probandi un 62 ( 17.4%) pirmās pakāpes radinieki. Klīniska ĢH tika diagnosticēta 164 pacientiem (131 probandam un 33 pirmās pakāpes radiniekiem…

Polyvascular subclinical atherosclerosis in familial hypercholesterolemia: The role of cholesterol burden and gender

2019

International audience; BACKGROUND AND AIM:Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) is a genetic disease characterized by a heterogeneous phenotype. The assessment of cardiovascular (CV) risk is challenging for HeFH. Cholesterol burden (CB) allows to estimate the lifelong exposure to high levels of cholesterol. The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of subclinical atherosclerosis and the relationship between atherosclerosis and the CB in a sample of HeFH patients, focusing on sex-related differences.METHODS AND RESULTS:154 asymptomatic HeFH subjects underwent coronary-artery-calcium score (CACs) and Doppler ultrasound of carotid and femoral arteries. Yearly lipid pro…

When Violence Can Appear With Different Male Partners: Identification of Resilient and Non-resilient Women in the European Union

2018

Introduction: Little scholarly attention has been paid to the analysis of the history of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women with different male partners and how it could be related to levels of IPV with the current male partner. From this point of view, been a victim of IPV could increase the vulnerability of women and, therefore, exert a negative influence on the selection of partners over time, thus increasing the odds of potentially mating with abusive male partners. Alternatively, for some women victims of IPV in previous relationships, there may be additional resources that reduce their vulnerability to victimization by new partners. Methodology: The present study analyzes l…

Plasma non-cholesterol sterols: a useful diagnostic tool in pediatric hypercholesterolemia.

2010

Current guidelines strongly recommend the identification of genetic forms of hypercholesterolemia (HC) during childhood. The usefulness of non–cholesterol sterols (NCS) in the diagnosis of genetic HC has not been fully explored. Plasma NCS were measured by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) in 113 children with hypercholesterolemia affected by: autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH), familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL), polygenic hypercholesterolemia (PHC), and in 79 controls to evaluate: i) plasma NCS profile in different genetic HC and ii) the usefulness of NCS for the diagnosis of HC beyond current clinical criteria. ADH was characterized by raised lathosterol/total …

KOPSAVILKUMS Nosaukums: Koronāro artēriju datortomogrāfiskās angiogrāfijas atrades raksturojums pacientiem ar iespējamu vai konstatētu Ģimenes Hiperholesterinēmiju. Ievads: Ģimenes hiperholesterīnēmija ir biežākais iemesls pārmantotai dislipidēmijai visā pasaulē. Slimība attīstās nemanāmi, bet pēkšņi var kļūt fatāla. Tāpēc ir svarīgi to diagnosticēt vai izvērtēt bojājumu izteiktību cik agri iespējams, pirmsaterosklerotiskiem kardiovaskulāriem notikumiem.Sķiet, ka šobrīd CT angiogrāfija ir laba metode lai raksturotu izmaiņas koronārajās artērijās ĢH pacientiem. Mērkis: Raksturot aterosklerotiskās izmaiņas ĢH pacientu koronārajās artērijās izmantojot CT angiogrāfija rezultātus. Materiāls un m…

Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometric Diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolemia

2000

We have developed a new nonradioactive assay to identify human low-density lipoprotein receptor defects. It is based on the incubation of cultured cells with colloidal gold-LDL conjugates and quantitation of the gold associated with the cells by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. After an oxidative treatment with nitric and hydrochloric acids, the biological matrix interferes neither with the gold recovery nor with the gold measurements, which are linear, at least from 0.15 to 3 ng of gold. When cells expressing a functional LDL receptor are incubated with increasing amounts of colloidal-gold LDL conjugates, the obtained saturation curve parallels that described when [125I]LDL i…
