Static Crow’s Feet Treated with Voltaic Arc Dermabrasion (Atmospheric Plasma): Post-Operative Pain Assessment by Thermal Infrared Imaging
2021
Background: In the literature, several strategies have been described for the treatment of unaesthetic marks on the face resulting from the aging processes. The atmospheric plasma procedure is a non-invasive, inexpensive technique proposed for the rejuvenation of facial tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of voltaic arc dermabrasion (VAD) for the treatment of static crow’s feet of the periorbital area. Methods: The crow’s feet of 135 patients (127 female and 8 male) were treated using the VAD technique. The perioperative skin temperature measurement was assessed using an Infrared Temperature sensor. The pain was measured using the Visual Analogic Score (VAS) at 1 …
Prediction model of lymph node metastasis in superficial esophageal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell cancer including D2-40 immunostaining
2009
Background It was the aim of our study to establish a model for prediction of lymph node metastases in superficial esophageal cancer. Methods We analyzed the clinical and histopathological data of 50 consecutive patients with pT1-esophageal cancer who underwent oncological resection. Submucosal carcinomas (pT1b) were classified according to sm levels 1–3. D2-40 immunostaining was investigated using the ABC technique. In a first step, we performed univariate analysis (One-way ANOVA: Sigma restricted parameterization; test of SS whole vs. SS predicted) to test the predictive value of the following categorical parameters for lymph node status (positive/negative): sex, histologic tumor type, lo…
Handling and pathology reporting of specimens with carcinoma of the urinary bladder, ureter, and renal pelvis.
2003
Abstract Objective: Pathologists play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and in the report of the pathological features related to prognosis. Methods: To meet these endpoints, the following issues must be accomplished: adequate information about the patient history, proper handling of the specimens, identification of the reliable histopathological techniques necessary to reach the more detailed diagnostic information and evaluate the prognostic variables, and a standardized pathological report. Results: Recent efforts to standardize the histopathological evaluation have generated significant confusion among the urological and pathological communities as well. No consensus has been achieved abo…
ICUD-EAU International Consultation on Bladder Cancer 2012: Non–Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder
2012
Item does not contain fulltext CONTEXT: Our aim was to present a summary of the Second International Consultation on Bladder Cancer recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment options for non-muscle-invasive urothelial cancer of the bladder (NMIBC) using an evidence-based approach. OBJECTIVE: To critically review the recent data on the management of NMIBC to arrive at a general consensus. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A detailed Medline analysis was performed for original articles addressing the treatment of NMIBC with regard to diagnosis, surgery, intravesical chemotherapy, and follow-up. Proceedings from the last 5 yr of major conferences were also searched. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: The major findi…
Guidelines for the management of women with severe pre-eclampsia
2021
Abstract Objective To provide national guidelines for the management of women with severe pre-eclampsia. Design A consensus committee of 26 experts was formed. A formal conflict-of-interest (COI) policy was developed at the onset of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guidelines process was conducted independently of any industrial funding. The authors were advised to follow the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE®) system to guide assessment of quality of evidence. The potential drawbacks of making strong recommendations in the presence of low-quality evidence were emphasised. Methods The last SFAR and CNGOF guidelines on t…
EP626 Lymph vascular space invasion, an independent risk factor of sentinel node mapping failure in endometrial cancer, the sentifail study: a multic…
2019
Introduction/Background Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping has become the gold standard for surgical staging of early stage endometrial cancer. Side-specific systematic lymphadenectomy is suggested if SLN mapping failed. The objective of this study is to identify clinical and pathological factors associated with failed mapping. Methodology We prospectively evaluated a consecutive series of early stage endometrial cancer patients submitted to SLN mapping with indocyanine green (ICG) near-infrared compatible surgical platforms in two oncological referral centers from January 2018 to January 2019. Indocyanine green was injected intracervical. Bilateral mapping and failed bilateral SLN mapping g…
Scoresysteme in der Notfallmedizin?
1994
The primary goals of scoring in emergency medicine are grading of the severity of the patient's condition, measurement of diagnostic and therapeutic efforts, forecasting the outcome, and support in decision making on triage and therapy. Scores can also be used as tools for measuring efficacy and controlling quality. There has been less experience with use of scoring systems to estimate quality of life. The ability to make a prognosis in an individual case is the most critical point; a score may support decisions on therapy in very specific situations only. Scores for use in emergency medicine should be based on physiological parameters, universally applicable and suitable for use throughout…
Bleb grading by photographs versus bleb grading by slit‐lamp examination
2019
Purpose Using a bleb-grading system clinically facilitates long-term follow-up of patients with previous glaucoma surgery. Clinical evaluation of these patients can be challenging for untrained ophthalmologists. Morphological bleb configuration might influence planning of follow-up visits in glaucoma patients due to different and individual prognosis after trabeculectomy. In this study, we compared the MaBAGS (Mainz Bleb Appearance Grading System), a classification system for filtering blebs with other classification systems (MBGS/Moorfields Bleb Grading System, IBAGS/Indiana Bleb Appearance Grading Scale) in reference to usability and reliability and compare it to grading by bleb photograp…
Diagnosis of Endometrial Carcinoma: Predictive Value of Transvaginal Color Doppler
1995
The objective of this study was to determine whether transvaginal ultrasound plus color Doppler flow improve the ability to diagnose endometrial carcinoma and allow better discrimination between benign and malignant endometrial lesions. One hundred thirty women with abnormal uterine bleeding were evaluated with transvaginal color Doppler before fractional dilatation and curettage (D&C). The endometrial line thickness and endometrial characteristics were evaluated by endosonography. The resistive and pulsatile indices of the uterine arteries and of the endometrium were evaluated with transvaginal color Doppler. Following D&C and tissue diagnosis, women were divided into two groups, 62 with a…
Genetic profile and immunohistochemical study of clear cell renal carcinoma: Pathological-anatomical correlation and prognosis.
2021
Abstract Introduction Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 2–3% of all tumors being the most frequent solid lesion in the kidney. Objective To determine what genetic alterations and immunohistochemical (IHC) of clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) are associated with prognosis and tumor aggressiveness. Patients and Methods Experimental analytical study with 57 patients who underwent radical and partial nephrectomy between 2005 and 2011, all with diagnosis of ccRCC and minimum post-operative follow-up of 36 months. The pathological study included IHC determination of biomarkers associated (CAIX, CAM 5.2, CD10, c-erbB-2, EGFR, HIF-1a, Ki67, MDM2, PAX-2 y 8, p53, survivin and VEGFR 1 and 2). …
