Metabolomics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome : response to Maniscalco and Motta
2016
We appreciate Maniscalco and Motta’s comments on our recently published article “Fusion of the 1H NMR data of serum, urine and exhaled breath condensate in order to discriminate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome” (Zabek et al. 2015) and we are grateful for the opportunity to clarify a number of points from our work. We are glad that the authors appreciated our data analysis and interpretation. Fusion of metabolomic data is an outstanding tool for a comprehensive description of patient’s phenotype that combines metabolic profiles acquired in different domains. Such an integrative approach is highly valued in the so-called ‘breathomics’ (Smolinska et a…
Endovascular management of a giant symptomatic gluteal artery aneurysm with selective arterial embolization
2017
A 78-year-old female presented to our department with pain and swelling in the left gluteal region. Physical examination revealed a large tender swelling in the left gluteal area simulating an abscess. However, pulsation was observed over the swelling that raised the suspicion of a vascular lesion. Therefore, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) was done before trying any intervention. The scan demonstrated a large aneurysm originating from the left superior gluteal artery measuring 65 mm × 38 mm with a small intra-pelvic component and large extra-pelvic component in the gluteal area ( Figure 1 ).

Procalcitonin for the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis: what is the evidence?
2017
Abstracts Procalcitonin is a widely used marker for the evaluation of infection and sepsis and to guide antibiotic therapy. During the last decade, several studies evaluated its role and diagnostic performance as a surrogate marker for the identification of Candida spp. in suspected invasive candidiasis. A low serum level and a favorable negative predictive value are the main findings for procalcitonin in this setting. The aim of this report is to provide an updated brief summary of the evidence supporting the use of PCT for the management of invasive candidiasis.
