Il volume indaga le radici storiche delle malattie che oggi definiamo genetiche e/o ereditarie, ponendo le premesse terminologiche e scientifiche che stanno a fondamento della riflessione moderna e contemporanea sulla malattia genetica, qui animata dal filo della continuità e della pur forte discontinuità con il pensiero antico. In tal senso, si presenta una retrospettiva storico-critica che, affondando le proprie radici nell’indagine lessicografica dei termini fondanti il pensiero embriogenetico moderno, interroga la validità storica ed epistemica di alcuni concetti e parole-chiave dell’era post-genomica, tra cui quello di causalità, o il rapporto tra natura e cultura, per toccare il nucle…
Carotid artery stenting outcomes in high-risk patients receiving best medical therapy: results from a single high-volume interventional cardiology pr…
2016
Kontext: Implantace stentů do karotických tepen (carotid artery stenting, CAS) se v soucasnosti ve velkem měřitku použiva v lecbě stenozy karotických tepen. Klinicke studie z posledni doby prokazaly nizkou incidenci přihod po CAS. Tato studie hodnoti 30denni a rocni výsledky pacientů lecených pro CAS intenzivni farmakoterapii na pracovisti provadějicim vysoke pocty perkutannich koronarnich intervenci rocně.Metoda: V obdobi od ledna 2011 do prosince 2013 byla CAS provedena celkem u 184 pacientů. Mimo protidestickove lecby byla provaděna i intenzivni antihypertenzni lecba spolu s vysoce intenzivni terapii statiny a lecbou zaměřenou na normalizaci srdecni frekvence. Pacienti byli stratifikovan…
Update in the Percutaneous Management of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions
2018
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTOs) has been rapidly evolving during recent years. With improvement in equipment and techniques, high success rates can be achieved at experienced centers, although overall success rates remain low. Prospective, randomized-controlled data regarding optimal use and indications for CTO PCI remain limited. CTO PCI should be performed when the anticipated benefit exceeds the potential risk. New high-quality studies of the clinical outcomes and techniques of CTO PCI are needed, as is the expansion of expert centers and operators that can achieve excellent clinical outcomes in this challenging patient and lesion subgroup. In…
Updated diagnosticprognostic paradigm for CAD: a narrative review.
2020
Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death globally; early detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) is a challenge for clinicians and radiologists. Over the past 2 decades there have been several improvements in the methods for the assessment of diagnosis and prognosis in patients with suspected CAD; most of these methods are imaging methods and they operate with high-end technologies. Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) as we know it today was introduced in 1998 and has ever progressed with constant pace. The first decade was the technical validation phase of the method while the second decade was the clinical validation phase. CCT has developed an excellent diagnostic and progno…
Medical therapy or revascularization for patients with chronic total occlusion? A dilemma almost solved
2020
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the coronary arteries are relatively common, observed in approximatively 15-25% of patients with coronary artery disease undergoing coronary angiography. The right coronary artery represents the most common CTO vessel, which represents about half of the CTO cases.The CTO prevalence is much higher ( 90%) among patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), while a CTO is found in only one tenth of patients referred for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
Post-synoviorthesis rehabilitation in haemophilia.
2001
The efficacy of radiosynoviorthesis in the management of chronic haemophilic synovitis has been proven. Like replacement therapy, however, this procedure has no effect on muscle strength or endurance, range of movement, coordination, or the patient's physical condition in general. All the factors just enumerated are essential for the recovery and maintenance of the haemophiliac's quality of life. That is why rehabilitation and physiotherapy are so important, since no medical therapy or surgical procedure are by themselves capable of preventing disabilities.
I nomi del male e i segni dell'eredità. Pensare, nominare e curare la malattia "genetica" dai Greci a noi
