Rehospitalization burden and morbidity risk in patients with heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction
2020
Aims Heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) has been proposed as a distinct HF phenotype, but whether patients on this category fare worse, similarly, or better than those with HF with reduced EF (HFrEF) or preserved EF (HFpEF) in terms of rehospitalization risks over time remains unclear. Methods and results We prospectively included 2961 consecutive patients admitted for acute HF (AHF) in our institution. Of them, 158 patients died during the index admission, leaving the sample size to be 2803 patients. Patients were categorized according to their EF: HFrEF if EF ≤ 40% (n = 908, 32.4%); HFmrEF if EF = 41–49% (n = 449, 16.0%); and HFpEF if EF ≥ 50% (n = 1446, 51.6%). Covar…
Skip metastases to lateral cervical lymph nodes in differentiated thyroid cancer: a systematic review.
2019
Abstract Papillary thyroid carcinoma is a slow-growing cancer with a generally good prognosis that sometimes have an aggressive behaviour. Metastases to neck lymph nodes is the first step of the diffusion. The central neck compartment is involved most commonly. The ipsilateral lateral neck compartments are usually involved afterwards, and the involvement of the contralateral one is considered a quite rare occurrence. In more rare cases, metastases to lateral neck compartment without central lymph node metastasis (so called “skip metastases”) could be observed. Aim of this literature review study is to analyse the average incidence, pattern and risk factors of this occurrence. This study was…

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) in cancer patients treated with denosumab VS. zoledronic acid : a systematic review and meta-ana…
2020
Background The aim of the present study was to analyse the incidence, risk ratio (RR) and prognoses of two types of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ): denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (DRONJ) and Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (BRONJ) in cancer patients under treatment with denosumab or zoledronic acid (ZA). Material and Methods An electronic and manual search was conducted for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) until May 2019. Assessment of the identified studies, risk of bias and data extraction were performed independently by two reviewers. The incidence of DRONJ and BRONJ and the RR to develop MRONJ were calculated at 1 year, 2 years and …
Follow-Up and Relook Hysteroscopy
2020
Intra-uterine adhesions (IUAs) after initial treatment in patients with Asherman’s Syndrome are one of the main challenging issues in the gynecological practice, since its incidence has been increasing over the last few decades, with a reported recurrence rate up to 30%. Asherman syndrome is characterized by variable scarring inside the uterine cavity that can lead to partial or complete dysfunction of the endometrium with impairment of fertility and menstrual pattern (amenorrhea and hypomenorrhea).
Randomized clinical trial comparing liver resection with and without perioperative assessment of liver function
2018
Background Liver function tests may help to predict outcomes after liver surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical impact on postoperative outcome and patient management of perioperative liver function testing using the LiMAx® test. Methods A multicentre RCT was conducted in six academic liver centres. Patients with intrahepatic tumours scheduled for open liver resection of at least one segment were eligible. Patients were randomized to undergo additional perioperative liver function tests (LiMAx® group) or standard care (control group). Patients in the intervention arm received two perioperative LiMAx® tests, one before the operation for surgical planning and another afte…
PO-58 - Cardiovascular risk profile in survivors of adult cancer - results from the general population study.
2016
The advancements in cancer treatment and detection of early cancer have resulted in steady increase of adult cancer survivors over the years. However, due to the long term toxic effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is increasing in survivors. Identifying risk factors and interventions to reduce the excess burden of CVD in this vulnerable population is urgently needed.To investigate the cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), inflammation and coagulation profile in cancer survivors from a large population-based study.Presence of CVRFs and laboratory markers have been compared in individuals with (n=1,359) and without (n=13,626) history of canc…
Endoscopic Management for Patients with Serrated Polyposis Syndrome is Feasible and Effective:
2014
Background and Study Aims: Serrated polyposis syndrome is a rare condition in which multiple serrated lesions develop all over the colon, which is thought to be associated with an increased risk for the development of cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of endoscopic treatment and standardised surveillance in patients with this increasingly recognised syndrome. Methods: From September 2010 to November 2013, consecutive patients were included in a prospective study. All patients underwent chromoendoscopy at first presentation and during surveillance. Follow-up examinations were carried out at 3 month intervals until complete clearance was achieved. Afterwards, pa…
Colorectal Polyps
2008
Publisher Summary Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second leading cause of cancer death for both women and men with more than 130,000 newly diagnosed cases and 50,000 deaths each year in the United States alone. Most colon cancers develop from nonmalignant colonic adenomas or polyps over a comparatively long time period ranging between 24 and 60 months. Reflecting this adenomatous pathogenesis of most colorectal cancers, polyp screening with subsequent polypectomy is used to constitute an effective approach for decreasing the incidence of this malignant tumor. Thus, colorectal screening for polyps may be considered one of the most promising preventive measures in medicine. Most available…
