Surgical management of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in neutropenic patients.
1997
Background The aim of our study was to clarify the indications for operation in invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Methods Nineteen patients with hematologic malignancy, in whom invasive pulmonary aspergillosis developed during the course of neutropenia, had operations. Neutropenia lasted 28 days (range, 15 to 45 days). The preoperative diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis was based on computed tomographic scan findings (halo or air crescent signs). Results Eight patients underwent emergency operations, before marrow recovery, for prevention of massive hemoptysis. The criterion for operation was an aspergillosis lesion that contacted the pulmonary artery on computed tomography. A lo…
UTILIZATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND ENTREPRENEUR KNOWLEDGE ON ENTREPRENEUR INTEREST STUDENT OF STIE PEMUDA SURABAYA
2021
This study aims to analyze the influence of the use of social media and entrepreneurial knowledge on the entrepreneurial interest of STIE Pemuda students both partially and simultaneously. This research is a descriptive quantitative research. The sample used was 100 students who had taken entrepreneurship courses. The data analysis method uses multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The results showed that partially the use of social media and entrepreneurial knowledge had a positive and significant effect on the entrepreneurial interest of STIE Pemuda Surabaya students. Simultaneously that the use of social media and entrepreneurial knowledge has a positive and …
Effect of multiple honey doses on non-specific acute cough in children. An open randomised study and literature review.
2015
Abstract Background Honey is recommended for non-specific acute paediatric cough by the Australian guidelines. Current available randomised clinical trials evaluated the effects of a single evening dose of honey, but multiple doses outcomes have never been studied. Objectives To evaluate the effects of wildflower honey, given for three subsequent evenings, on non-specific acute paediatric cough, compared to dextromethorphan (DM) and levodropropizine (LDP), which are the most prescribed over-the-counter (OTC) antitussives in Italy. Methods 134 children suffering from non-specific acute cough were randomised to receive for three subsequent evenings a mixture of milk (90 ml) and wildflower hon…
Minimum cause--maximum effect: the travelogue of a bullet.
2010
This case report involves a 57-year-old male, accidentally shot in the chest with a small bore firearm. The bullet entered the left hemithorax, disrupting the left internal mammarian artery. It then penetrated the anterior wall of the right ventricle causing a pericardial tamponade. After leaving the base of the right heart it perforated the diaphragm, the liver, the spleen and the pancreas. Finally, it penetrated the abdominal aorta 3 cm proximally to the coeliac trunk and reached its final position paravertebrally. This case report illustrates that the management of even minimum gunshot wounds requires a maximum variety of surgical skills. Keywords: Thoracoabdominal injury; Shotgun wound;…
Synchronous Two Distinct Neuroendocrine Lung Cancer Lesions
2015
Synchroniczne nowotwory płuc są rzadką chorobą, a prezentowany przypadek to pierwszy opublikowany opis jednoczesnego wystąpienia dwóch pierwotnych neuroendokrynnych raków płuca zlokalizowanych w jednym płacie. Przedstawiono przypadek 55-letniej pacjentki z dwoma pierwotnymi, odrębnymi neuroendokrynnymi rakami płata górnego płuca prawego. Pacjentka została przyjęta na oddział chirurgii klatki piersiowej w celu diagnostyki dwóch cieni okrągłych płuca prawego (o średnicy 11 i 19 mm) uwidocznionych na zdjęciu RTG klatki piersiowej wykonanym trzy miesiące wcześniej. Przy przyjęciu pacjentka nie prezentowała żadnych objawów związanych ze zmianami w płucu. Dalsze badania obrazowe wykazały zmiennoś…
Pathologies currently identified by exhaled biomarkers.
2013
Ancient Greek physicians already knew that the smell of human breath could provide a clue to the pathology. Nowadays, volatile breath biomarkers are known to be released in a broad range of diseases. However, their identification, isolation, and quantification as indicative of relevant alterations in clinical status have required the development of new techniques and analytical methods. Breath sample analysis encounters several obstacles. Particularly, there is a need of a system that could work in a continuous manner, with the low concentration and small volume of a sample. Herein we review, in the light of literature and our experience, clinical applications of the metal oxide semiconduct…
Toxicidad pulmonar por talidomida
2002
Although the side effects of thalidomide are well known, lung toxicity has not been reported. We describe the case of a 65-year-old man with multiple myeloma (IgG kappa) in stage IA who, on the thirty-seventh day of treatment with thalidomide, developed acute coughing, general malaise, dyspnea at rest and sudoresis. Blood pressure was 90/60 mm Hg and temperature was normal. An interstitial and alveolar pattern was visible on the right side of a chest film and arterial blood gases indicated partial respiratory insufficiency (pH 7.40, PaCO2 40 mmHg, PaO2 47 mmHg). Blood analysis showed alterations expected for multiple myeloma and microbiology was negative (sputum and blood cultures and urina…
Multiplicity theorems for the Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian
2003
Multiplicity theorems for the Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian were proved using variational approach. It was shown that there existed an open interval and a positive real number, and each problem admits at least three weak solutions. Results on the existence of at least three weak solutions for the Dirichlet problems were established.
Weighted estimates for diffeomorphic extensions of homeomorphisms
2019
Let $\Omega \subset \mbr^2$ be an internal chord-arc domain and $\varphi : \mbs^1 \rightarrow \partial \Omega$ be a homeomorphism. Then there is a diffeomorphic extension $h : \mbd \rightarrow \Omega$ of $\varphi .$ We study the relationship between weighted integrability of the derivatives of $h$ and double integrals of $\varphi$ and of $\varphi^{-1} .$
Multiple solutions for nonlinear nonhomogeneous resonant coercive problems
2018
We consider a nonlinear, nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problem driven by the sum of a \begin{document}$p$\end{document} -Laplacian ( \begin{document}$2 ) and a Laplacian. The reaction term is a Caratheodory function \begin{document}$f(z,x)$\end{document} which is resonant with respect to the principal eigenvalue of ( \begin{document}$-\Delta_p,\, W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$\end{document} ). Using variational methods combined with truncation and comparison techniques and Morse theory (critical groups) we prove the existence of three nontrivial smooth solutions all with sign information and under three different conditions concerning the behavior of \begin{document}$f(z,\cdot)$\end{document} near zero.
