Skin-reducing Mastectomy with Primary Implant Reconstruction
2011
Background: We present a series of skin-sparing mastectomies (SSMs) with skin reduction and immediate breast reconstruction to treat large and ptotic breasts. The technique combines oncological mastectomy with immediate subpectoral implant placement as a single-step procedure. Methods: Data was collected from a prospective database from February 2009 to April 2011. A total of 24 patients with macromastia or pronounced ptosis fulfilled the criteria for skin-saving mastectomy. All operations were carried out as a single-step procedure with adaptation of the contralateral breast by reduction mastopexy. Results: A total of 27 SSMs were performed in 24 patients. The mean implant volume was 265 c…
New Trends in the Treatment of Osteoporosis
1998
Osteoporosis is “a systemic disease characterized by a reduction in bone mass and a microarchitectonic alteration of the skeleton, with a consequent increase in skeleton fragility and susceptibility to fractures”, as defined by the last Consensus Development Conference1. With this definition, the alteration in skeletal structure, which is not yet easy to evaluate, becomes an important factor determining the risk of fracture of the osteoporotic patient, in addition to the bone mass, which to certain limit can be easily evaluated. This is an aspect that may create some problems at the time of taking a decision on how to proceed with a subject with decreased bone mass. Currently, the measureme…
Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa blockers during percutaneous coronary intervention and as the initial medical treatment of non-ST segment elevation ac…
2010
BACKGROUND During percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and in non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS), the risk of acute vessel occlusion by thrombosis is high. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa blockers strongly inhibit platelet aggregation and may prevent mortality and myocardial infarction. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2001, and previously updated in 2007 and 2010. OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy and safety effects of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa blockers when administered during PCI, and as initial medical treatment in patients with NSTEACS. SEARCH METHODS We updated the searches of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) on The …
Long-Term Clinical Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Ostial/Mid-Shaft Lesions Versus Distal Bifurcation Lesions in Unprotected Le…
2013
Objectives The aim of this study was to compare, in a large all-comer registry, the long-term clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) for ostial/mid-shaft lesions versus distal bifurcation lesions in unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) stenosis. Background Limited data are available regarding clinical outcomes following DES implantation at the different ULMCA sites. Methods Patients with ULMCA stenosis treated by PCI with DES were analyzed in this multinational registry. Results A total of 1,612 patients were included: 482 were treated for ostial/mid-shaft lesions versus 1,130 for distal bifurcation lesions. At a median follo…
Radiologic Evaluation of the Transplant Candidate
2003
Before a patient is placed on the waiting list for liver transplantation, a variety of screening procedures are performed, including laboratory tests and radiological procedures. One goal is to search for abnormalities that preclude liver transplantation. Another is to detect abnormalities that in some way will affect the operative procedure. The individual periopera- tive risk is evaluated by searching for pulmonary, cardiac, and renal changes.
Patients Suffering from a Chronic, Irreversible Illness: A Novel Study on the Psychological Intervention out of the Hospital
2020
Objective: Patients with chronic, untreatable diseases have emotional needs that are often unaddressed by conventional care services within the healthcare systems. The situation of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is paradigmatic as there are few, if any, studies focusing on psychological interventions for these patients. This chapter describes a study that identifies and quantifies emotional distress, quality of life, spirituality, and key dimensions of health-related well-being after brief psychotherapy treatments at an outpatient clinic.

Operative Therapie des primären Hyperparathyroidismus im Neugeborenenalter
1988
This is a report on a neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) treated by total parathyroidectomy and autotransplantation of parathyroid tissue into the forearm musculature. Histologically, the glands were composed of a "chief cell hyperplasia" of the parathyroid tissue. Clinical manifestation in neonates and differential diagnosis of HPT are discussed. Indication for operation and surgical procedure are described.
Pressure-Induced Growth (PIG) of Atretic Esophagus: A Contigent Management for High-Risk Esophageal Atresia
1986
The management of uncomplicated esophageal atresia is a straightforward procedure consisting of thoracotomy with anastomosis of the atretic segments and ligature of any tracheoesophageal fistula present. However, besides the rareness of isolated esophageal atresia, our observations in the past few years show increasing incidence of the anomaly in association with premature births and other malformations which are usually incompatible with life. Aspiration pneumonia resulting from reflux of gastric content through a lower tracheoesophageal fistula, rather than the overflow of saliva from an upper atretic pouch, also threatens the life of an otherwise healthy neonate with esophageal atresia.
Safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment for carotid artery stenoses using proximal protection systems : 30-day follow-up
2017
Introduction. Although surgical endarterectomy remains the treatment of choice for carotid artery stenosis, carotid artery stenting (CAS) with use of proximal protection systems (PPS) plays an important role as alternative treatment modality, especially in high risk patients. This study was aimed at the assessment of safety of CAS with use of the PPS and also at identification of risk factors associated with this procedure. Material and methods. This was a post hoc analysis, with 30-day follow-up. We analysed results of treatment of 94 patients who underwent 97 CAS with PPS, 47 such procedures in asymptomatic, and 50 in symptomatic individuals. Results. There were 0 strokes during 30-day fo…
