Bērnības pieredzes saikne ar personības īpatnībām psoriāzes pacientiem
2020
Vairāki psihiskie traucējumi ir saistīti ar psoriāzi, etiopatoģenēze ir daudzveidīga. Dažas psihiskas blakusslimības var rasties hroniskas ādas slimības psihosociālās ietekmes rezultātā. No otras puses, psoriāzi var uzturēt un saasināt pacienta esošais psihiskais stāvoklis, tādējādi veidojot apburto loku. Bērnības pieredze nosaka to, kā veidosies cilvēka personības stiprās un vājās puses, tā ietekmē reakciju uz saslimšanu, tajā skaitā- psoriāzi. Kā aleksitīmija, tā personības traucējumi var ietekmēt to, kā pacients uztver saslimšanu, kā ar to sadzīvo un ārstē.Latvijā nav pētīta psoriāzes saistība ar bērnības pieredzi, personības traucējumiem un aleksitīmiju. Pētījuma hipotēze: psoriāzes pac…

High Bias Voltage CZT Detectors for High-flux Measurements
2017
In this work, we present the performance of new travelling heater method (THM) grown CZT detectors, recently developed at IMEM-CNR Parma, Italy. Thick planar detectors (3 mm thick) with gold electroless contacts on CZT crystals grown by Redlen Technologies (Victoria BC, Canada) were realized, with a planar cathode covering the detector surface (4.1 x 4.1 mm(2)) and a central anode (2 x 2 mm(2)) surrounded by a guard ring electrode. The detectors, characterized by low leakage currents at room temperature (4.7 nA/cm(2) at 1000 V/cm), allow good room temperature operation even at high bias voltages (> 7000 V/cm). At low rates, the detectors exhibit an energy resolution around 4 % FWIEM at 59.5…
Microscale X-ray mapping of CZT arrays: Spatial dependence of amplitude, shape and multiplicity of detector pulses
2018
In this work, we present the results of a microscale X-ray mapping of a 2 mm thick CZT pixel detector, with pixel pitches of 500 μm and 250 μm, using collimated synchrotron X-ray sources at the Diamond Light source (U. K.). The detector is dc coupled to a fast and low noise ASIC (PIXIE ASIC), characterized only by the preamplifier stage. A custom 16-channel digital readout electronics was used, able to perform online fast pulse shape and height analysis (PSHA), with low dead time and reasonable energy resolution at both low and high fluxes. The detector allows high bias voltage operation (> 5000 V/cm) and good energy resolution at room temperature (5.3 %, 2.3 % and 2.1 % FWHM at 22.1, 59…
Lack of reactivation of tuberculosis in patients with psoriasis treated with secukinumab in a real-world setting of latent tuberculosis infection
2022
Background Some biologics for psoriasis, especially anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha therapies, may re-activate latent tuberculosis (TBC) infection with consequent morbidity and mortality. However, there is a low reported incidence of conversion to positive TBC status among patients with psoriasis treated with second-generation biologic therapies, particularly anti-interleukin (IL)-17 therapies such as secukinumab. Objectives To evaluate the safety profile of secukinumab in psoriasis patients with latent TBC infection. Methods Real-life data were collected by retrospective chart review on patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who showed positivity for TBC screening at baseline an…
Retinal Vascular Assessment in Psoriasis: A Multicenter Study
2021
PurposeTo investigate the vascular status of the macula in psoriasis patients without history of ocular inflammation by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA).MethodsThis prospective cross-sectional multicenter study included 55 psoriasis patients and 55 control healthy subjects. A complete eye examination and 6 mm × 6 mm OCTA imaging were performed. Retinal vascular status was evaluated by analyzing vascular density (VD) of superficial vascular plexus (superficial wVD) and deep vascular plexuses (deep wVD) in a 6 mm × 6 mm area and in foveal (superficial fVD and deep fVD) and parafoveal sectors (superficial pVD and deep pVD). In addition, foveal thickness (FT) and foveal avascular…
Treatment approaches to patients with multiple sclerosis and coexisting autoimmune disorders.
2021
The past decades have yielded major therapeutic advances in many autoimmune conditions – such as multiple sclerosis (MS) – and thus ushered in a new era of more targeted and increasingly potent immunotherapies. Yet this growing arsenal of therapeutic immune interventions has also rendered therapy much more challenging for the attending physician, especially when treating patients with more than one autoimmune condition. Importantly, some therapeutic strategies are either approved for several autoimmune disorders or may be repurposed for other conditions, therefore opening new curative possibilities in related fields. In this article, we especially focus on frequent and therapeutically rele…

Long-term safety of nine systemic medications for psoriasis: A cohort study using the Spanish Registry of Adverse Events for Biological Therapy in De…
2020
Background: Registry studies broadly describing the safety of systemic drugs in psoriasis are needed. Objective: To describe the safety findings of the systemic drugs acitretin, adalimumab, apremilast, cyclosporine, etanercept, infliximab, methotrexate, secukinumab, and ustekinumab used for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis in patients included in the Spanish Registry of Adverse Events for Biological Therapy in Dermatological Diseases (BIOBADADERM) Registry. Methods: The incidence rate ratio (IRR) and adjusted IRR (including propensity scores) of identified adverse events for each drug, using methotrexate as reference, were determined by means of a prospective cohort. Results: O…
Sialolitiasis parotídea del conducto de Stensen
2006
La litiasis salival es una afectación consistente en la obstrucción mecánica de una glándula salival o de su conducto excretor, debido a la formación de concreciones calcáreas o sialolitos, lo que determina una ectasía salival, pudiendo provocar la dilatación posterior de la glándula. La sialolitiasis supone el 30 % de la patología salival y afecta principalmente a las glándulas submaxilares (83 a 94 %), seguida por la glándula parótida (4 a 10 %) y las glándulas sublinguales (1 a 7 %). En este trabajo presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 45 años que presentaba mal olor y sabor de boca en el momento de las comidas y afecto de un cálculo salival a nivel del conducto de Stensen izquier…
