Bilateral ruptures of the extensor mechanism of the knee: A systematic review
2017
Abstract Introduction We conduct a systematic and qualitative review of the current literature to evaluate studies that described bilateral ruptures of the extensor mechanism of the knee. Methods A comprehensive literature search was performed to evaluate all studies included in the literature until September 2016. Results Fourteen studies with a total of 44 patients met the inclusion criteria. There were 14 patients with CRF (61%), 6 patients were affected by diabetes mellitus (14%) while other 6 patients were obese patients (14%). Conclusion CRF represents the most frequent comorbidity in patients with bilateral quadriceps/patellar tendon ruptures.
Electromagnetic distal targeting system does not reduce the overall operative time of the intramedullary nailing for humeral shaft fractures
2018
Abstract Introduction We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the use of the electromagnetic distal targeting system in treating humeral shaft fracture. Methods Patients were divided in: Group 1) patients that received a distal locking screw placement following the free-hand technique; Group 2) patients in which the distal locking screw was performed using the SURESHOT device. Results No differences were noted comparing Group 1 (freehand) [71,9 range 40–135 min] to Group 2 (SURESHOT)[70, range 25–125 min]. Conclusion The use of the EM distal targeting system doesn't reduce the overall operative time of the humeral shaft fracture fixation using IMN.
Production of β-glucosidases by European Armillaria species
2020
International audience; Abstract Production of β-glucosidase was investigated in nine isolates of Armillaria representing four species found in Europe: Armillaria mellea and Armillaria ostoyae, considered to be pathogenic and moderately pathogenic, respectively, and Armillaria. gallica and Armillaria cepistipes, both considered to be non-pathogenic. β-glucosidase was predominantly produced in the rhizomorphs, while the vegetative mycelium produced only a low amount of enzyme. Pachlewski's medium containing ammonium tartrate, glucose, maltose and thiamine was very efficient in promoting differentiation and growth of rhizomorphs. In A. ostoyae and A. cepistipes, a large proportion of β-glucos…
Hidden complexity in membrane permeabilization behavior of antimicrobial polycations.
2021
A promising alternative to classical antibiotics are antimicrobial peptides and their synthetic mimics (smAMPs) that supposedly act directly on membranes. For a more successful design of smAMPs, we need to know how the type of interaction with the membrane determines the type of membrane perturbation. How this, in turn, transfers into selectivity and microbial killing activity is largely unknown. Here, we characterize the action of two smAMPs: MM:CO (a copolymer of hydrophobic cyclooctyl subunits and charged β-monomethyl-α-aminomethyl subunits) and the highly charged poly-NM (a homopolymer of α-aminomethyl subunits). By thorough characterization of vesicle leakage experiments, we elucidate …
Immunohistopathology in Diagnostic Neuropathology
1983
Within the field of surgical pathology, immunohistochemistry is now frequently applied to the morphological diagnosis of lymphomas (11), certain carcinomas and other selected types of tumor (12). In neuropathology, the study of neuro-oncological and non-neoplastic diseases may also receive diagnostic support from performing immunohistological techniques, which encompass immunofluorescent and immunoperoxidase methods. The following report represents a survey of our experience in this recently developed field of diagnostic neuropathology.
Regenerative endodontic procedure combined with apical surgery of a necrotic permanent incisor with extensive periapical lesion using plasma rich in …
2021
Background The aim of this case report is to describe the step-by step and outcomes of a treatment approach which simultaneously combines a Regenerative Endodontic Procedure (REP) and apical surgery using PRGF as treatment of a post-traumatic necrotic permanent central incisor with extensive periapical lesion and undeveloped apex in a 16 years-old patient. Case description A 16 years-old patient with an extensive periapical lesion in the maxillary central incisor was treated with a combination of REP and periapical surgery in the same visit. A Bi- antibiotic paste (BAP) was used to priorly disinfect the canal, which was posteriorly sealed with MTA placed over a PRGF clot at the same time th…
Pedaleo de brazos en personas con lesión medular, parálisis cerebral o ataxia cerebelosa: Parámetros fisiológicos. [Armcrank pedaling in persons with…
2016
espanolLos desordenes neurologicos generan afectacion fisica y derivan en sedentarismo, enfermedades coronarias y obesidad o diabetes, reduciendo tanto la esperanza como la calidad de vida. La oferta de actividad fisica adaptada es escasa por falta de informacion especifica sobre la forma de adecuarlo y dosificarlo a las personas que presentan estos desordenes. Con el fin de comparar el efecto del ejercicio de pedaleo de brazos sobre la respuesta fisiologica y la percepcion del esfuerzo, en 8 personas con lesion medular, 4 con paralisis cerebral y 4 con ataxia de Friedreich, se analizo su respuesta fisiologica, asi como su percepcion subjetiva al esfuerzo, frente a un grupo Control (16 part…
The Challenges of Reforming the International Monetary System in the Post COVID-19 World
2020
Abstract The paper analyzes if the international monetary system calls for reform and whether China and the renminbi will play a decisive role in the post COVID-19 world. It also evaluates the main scenarios and trends that is being discussed since the global crisis – selecting the relevant authors, journals, institutions and opinions – examines present conditions and tries to extrapolate into future trends. Opting for a nontechnical approach, the article could be a good insight into the international monetary system, for academics, non-experts and policy makers. The paper concludes that if the 2008 crisis has induced the growth of the China role in the international monetary governance and…
