Zirconium dioxide implants as an alternative to titanium: A systematic review

2020

Background: This systematic review evaluates the available scientific literature to demonstrate the aesthetic and clinical benefits and to determine the survival and the success of zirconium dioxide implants concerning titanium implants. Material and Methods: The electronic databases were searched until January 2020. Outcome measures were pink aesthetic score (PAS), white aesthetic score (WAS), bleeding on probing (BOP) and probing depth (PD). The addressed PICO question was: In partially edentulous patients in the upper-anterior sector, do zirconium dioxide implants provide aesthetic benefits over conventional titanium implants? Results: In the 15 articles included after the screening were…

Oral Communication

2012

Inherited factor VII (FVII) deficiency is the most common of the rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorders (RBD), with an estimated prevalence of 1 per 300,000 in European countries.1,2 It is likely that the prevalence is higher in those countries where consanguineous marriages are frequent.We here report STER study results on 112 evaluable enrolled cases

Is Aspirin a Worthy Candidate in Preventing Intracranial Aneurysm Rupture?

2020

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) usually occurs with a thunderclap headache or the worst headache of a patient's life, leading to a neurologic emergency. Among cases of nontraumatic SAH, 80%–85% are caused by ruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs) and comprise 3% of all strokes in high-income countries In the years 2000–2008, the incidence of SAH was 4–7 per 100,000 person-years in high-income and low-to middle-income countries. Outcome after aneurysmal SAH depends on several factors, including severity of the initial hemorrhage, rebleeding, perioperative medical management, and timing and technical success for vascular malformation exclusion from the cerebral circulation. It has been estimated…

Detector for monitoring potential bleeding during electron intraoperative radiotherapy

2018

Purpose: The aim of this work is to develop a bleeding detector integrated into the acrylic circular applicators for specific mobile linacs. Thus, a bleeding detector has been developed based on a capacitive sensor to be used with plastic applicators, as in the case of LIAC HWL from Sordina IORT Technologies SpA. According to the clinical impact, we have selected 0.5 cm as the minimum depth of fluid that should be detected. Methods: An experiment was developed using water-simulating blood. Two setups were considered: non-beveled applicators with 7 cm and 10 cm diameter. Measurements were done for applicators 0 degrees and 45 degrees tilted, both with respect to the horizontal surface, in or…

STUDIO E VALIDAZIONE DI SISTEMI PER L’IDENTIFICAZIONE E IL MONITORAGGIO DI PARAMETRI BIOMEDICI ATTI ALLA PREVENZIONE DI EVENTI INDESIDERATI E ALL’ASS…

L’aumento delle patologie cronico-degenerative nella popolazione mondiale ha comportato un numero sempre maggiore di individui richiedenti assistenza sanitaria, generando, nell’ambito delle realtà ospedaliere, diverse problematiche relative al miglioramento della qualità di vita dei pazienti, ai costi e alla gestione di un numero sempre crescente di soggetti ammalati. Il trattamento sanitario e la ricerca di base si sono pertanto orientati verso la prevenzione delle condizioni che predispongono i soggetti ai peggioramenti clinici e ai ricoveri ospedalieri, puntando sia su nuovi sistemi indossabili di monitoraggio per individuare precocemente i segni di peggioramento, sia su sistemi che poss…

Successful Foley catheter tamponade of an epigastric vessel trocar injury in a toddler – A case report

2021

Highlights • Epigastric vessel injury is a well recognized complication during laparoscopic trocar placement. • Precautionary measures to prevent trocar induced injuries should be implemented to lower the incidence of this complication. • If this complication is encountered, tamponade by Foley catheter placement is an effective measure to provide hemostasis. • Hemorrhage control using a Foley catheter is feasible even in small children and toddlers.

Small bowel gastrointestinal stromal tumor presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding in patient with type 1 Neurofibromatosis: Management and laparos…

2021

Highlights • A multidisciplinary team is mandatory for the correct management of hemorrhagic GIST and its complications. • There is a well-known association between type 1 Neurofibromatosis and GIST. • Type 1 Neurofibromatosis-GIST and sporadic GIST have different behaviour. • In case of localised and resectable GIST surgical treatment is the mainstay. • Laparoscopic approach, if performed correctly, is safe and effective with better short-term outcomes then open surgery.

Management of Bleeding Complications in Virtual Reality Laparoscopy

2019

The aim of this study was to compare the impact of induced bleeding complication training with regular training on a virtual reality laparoscopic (VRL) simulator. Although bleeding complications occur rarely during laparoscopic surgery, they usually arise without warning and may have severe consequences for the patient because complication management training is not currently widespread. Third-year medical students (n = 41) were randomly selected for 2 curricular courses on how to perform a bimanual task on a VRL simulator. Both the regular training group (RTG) and the induced bleeding complication training (ICT) group performed 2 regular training sessions and 9 training sessions. For the I…

Recombinant activated factor VII administration in a patient with congenital lack of factor VII undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy: A case report

2021

Highlights • Patients with lack of factor VIIa, suffering from abnormal uterine bleedings can be treated with laparoscopic hysterectomy. • Technique using bipolar coagulation and non-absorbable clips is safe and not time consuming. • Pre-operative loading with recombinant factor VIIa must be followed by prolonged supplementation in post-operative period. • We present suggested dosage and length of factor VIIa supplementation based on literature review and own experience.

Adiponectin, leptin and TNF-α serum levels in obese and normal weight Peruvian adults with and without chronic periodontitis

2015

Background: TNF-α, an adipokine involved in systemic inflammation and a member of a group of cytokines that stimulate the acute phase reaction, has been related to the pathogenesis of both periodontitis and obesity. The objective of this study was to assess the serum levels of adiponectin, leptin and TNF-α of periodontally healthy normal weight (NW) patients, NW patients with chronic periodontitis (CP), periodontally healthy obese patients and obese patients with CP. Material and Methods: Ninety-three patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study: 30 periodontally healthy NW patients; 18 NW patients with CP; 21 periodontally healthy obese patients; and 24 obese patients with CP. Anal…
