Complications in Craniovertebral Junction Instrumentation: Hardware Removal Can Be Associated with Long-Lasting Stability. Personal Experience
2017
Background The causes of craniovertebral junction (CVJ) instabilities include trauma, rheumatological diseases, tumors, infections, congenital malformations, and degenerative disease processes; these complex pathologies often require CVJ instrumentation. Hardware complications were analyzed in a personal series of 48 treated patients. In light of the analysis of very unusual radiological and clinical findings, the authors tried to better investigate the related mechanisms and to reach possible useful conclusions. Methods In a series of 48 patients who underwent CVJ instrumentation and fusion procedures in our Institution, we describe three cases of hardware failure, due to: (1) infection; (…
Kinetic and static perimetry after 16 years and additional OCT-A analysis in eyes with long-lasting optic disc drusen
2021
The aim of the study is to evaluate the progression of visual field (VF) defects over 16 years of observation and to assess abnormalities in vessels and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness in patients with optic disc drusen (ODD). Both static automated perimetry (SAP) and semi-automated kinetic perimetry (SKP) were performed in 16 eyes of 8 patients (mean age 54 years) with ODD among 26 eyes of 13 patients examined 16 years before. The area of I2e, I4e, III4e, and V4e isopters was measured in deg2. The MD and PSD parameters were estimated using SAP. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) was additionally performed in 16 ODD eyes and 16 eyes of 8 healthy subjects to estimate…
Effects of iontophoretic 5-hydroxytryptamine on the unitary discharge frequency of caudate nucleus neurons in the rat
1980
AbstractSummaryMicroiontophoretic application of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on rat caudate nucleus neurons has both facilitatory and inhibitory effects on the discharge frequency of the neurons; in many cases 5-HT has a two-phase action. An analysis was made of the behaviour of facilitatory and inhibitory responses in time considering the mean firing rate variations during and after 5-HT iontophoretic release. Six types of responses have been described : A : short lasting excitation, B : long lasting excitation, C : short lasting inhibition, D : delayed-onset inhibition, E : inhibition followed by excitation, F : excitation followed by inhibition. Also no topographic localization could be m…
Die Wirkung von Thiopental-Natrium und Pentobarbital-Natrium auf die Nierengef��e von M�usen
1957
The action of intravenous injections of pentobarbital and of thiopental on the blood pressure and on the vascular tone in the cortex of the kidney has been studied in albino mice. Pentobarbital caused a pronounced decrease of the filling of blood vessels in the cortex of kidneys together with a long-lasting anaesthesia and a long lasting fall of blood pressure. Thiopental, on the other hand, was less effective on the filling of blood vessels, while its narcotic effect was small and the fall of blood pressure less pronounced. The results indicate that both substances increased the vascular tone in the cortex of the kidney.
Effects of repeated exposure on acceptance of initially disliked vegetables in 7-month old infants
2007
Publication Inra prise en compte dans l'analyse bibliométrique des publications scientifiques mondiales sur les Fruits, les Légumes et la Pomme de terre. Période 2000-2012. http://prodinra.inra.fr/record/256699; International audience; In the weeks following the start of weaning, 70 mothers were asked to identify a vegetable purée that their infant disliked and that they normally would not offer again. The 49 who did so were then asked to offer that vegetable on alternate days for 16 days, and to offer a well-liked one (carrot purée) on the other days. Amount eaten and acceptance were measured at each meal. On the first day of exposure, mean intake of the initially disliked vegetable was 39…
