Predictors of mesh infection and explantation after abdominal wall hernia repair

2015

Abstract Background The main objective was to identify predictive factors associated with prosthesis infection and mesh explantation after abdominal wall hernia repair (AWHR). Methods This is a retrospective review of all patients who underwent AWHR from January 2004 to May 2014 at a tertiary center. Multivariate analysis identified predictors of mesh infection and explantation after AWHR. Results From 3,470 cases of AWHR, we reported 66 cases (1.9%) of mesh infection, and 48 repairs (72.7%) required mesh explantation. Steroid or immunosuppressive drugs use (odds ratio [OR] 2.22; confidence interval [CI] 1.16 to 3.95), urgent repair (OR 5.06; CI 2.21 to 8.60), and postoperative surgical sit…

Outcome of suicidal patients with schizophrenia: results from a naturalistic study.

Outcome of suicidal patients with schizophrenia: results from a naturalistic study. Objective:  Purpose was to assess suicidality before and at the time of admission in patients with schizophrenia and compare outcome differences. Method:  Biweekly PANSS (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), HAMD (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale) and UKU (Udvalg for Klinske Undersogelser Side Effect Rating Scale) ratings were evaluated in 339 in-patients with schizophrenic spectrum disorder…

Whole-body MRI in patients with lymphoma: collateral findings.

2016

To assess the incidence of collateral findings detected on whole-body magnetic resonance (WB-MRI) scans performed on patients with lymphoma. 114 patients (65 male; median age 45.2 years, range 15–86) with histologically confirmed lymphoma (47 Hodgkin, 67 Non-Hodgkin) underwent WB-MRI. The collateral findings were classified into three classes, according to their clinical significance, as follows: not or low significant (class 1), moderately or potentially significant (class 2), and significant (class 3). A Chi-square (χ 2) test was performed to assess the statistical significance of differences in the incidence of collateral findings based on age (≤50 and >50 years old), gender and histolog…

Partial T Cell-Depleted Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation from HLA-Identical Sibling Donors for Patients with Severe Aplastic Anemia

2019

We analyzed the outcomes of 26 consecutive patients with acquired severe aplastic anemia (SAA) undergoing peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) with partial ex vivo T cell depletion with a targeted T cell dose from HLA-identical sibling donors. The median patient age was 37 years (range, 3 to 63 years). Four patients with uncontrolled pneumonia at the time of transplantation died, on days +1, +2, +21, and +26. All evaluable patients engrafted, with a median time to neutrophil recovery of 11 days (range, 10 to 14 days) and a median time to platelet recovery of 19 days (range, 8 to 53 days). Two patients had transient grade I acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with skin invol…

Incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer in patients treated with psoralen and ultraviolet A therapy.

2019

Abstract Introduction Studies reporting incidences of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) are heterogeneous, depend on the geographic area of the studied population and are often short-term. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of NMSC in patients treated with oral PUVA therapy in the Mediterranean area. Material and methods A retrospective, observational study was carried out with a sample of 234 patients treated with systemic PUVA between 1982 and 1996, carrying out a historical follow-up until May 2017. The incidence density rate of CCNM (crude and adjusted) was calculated by direct standardisation. The incidence of CCNM was compared with that reported in the general populatio…

Cataracts and statins. A disproportionality analysis using data from VigiBase.

2019

The basis of the association between statin use and cataract has been explored using the World Health Organization (WHO) global database of individual case safety reports (ICSRs) for drug monitoring (VigiBase) through January 2019. The reporting odds ratios (RORs) as a measure of disproportionality for reported cataracts and individual statins have been calculated. Subgroup analyses according statin lipophilicity, sex, and age groups have been performed. Moreover, RORs have been calculated for non-statin lipid lowering drugs. An increased disproportionality have been found for most individual statins lovastatin: [ROR: 14.80, 95% confidence interval (CI): 13.30, 16.46)], atorvastatin (ROR: 3…
