Manifestaciones orales en la histiocitosis crónica diseminada: presentación de 10 casos
2004
La histiocitosis crónica diseminada es una enfermedad sistémica por proliferación tumoral de células histiocitarias tipo Langerhans. Su etiología y patogenia no esta del todo aclarada y las manifestaciones clínicas se producen por acúmulos e infiltrados de este tipo celular en los tejidos y órganos. Presentamos 10 pacientes, seis niños y cuatro niñas, con histiocitosis crónica diseminada. La edad de aparición de la enfermedad varió desde los 4 meses hasta los 3'2 años, con una edad media de 1'7 años. Todos los pacientes presentaron lesiones orales y en 5 de ellos éstas fueron la manifestación inicial de la enfermedad. Las alteraciones más frecuentes fueron: sangrado gingival (7 casos), afta…
Ayuda técnica en tiempos de crisis: la brucelosis en los programas país para España de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (1951-1972) = Technical as…
2018
La brucelosis fue uno de los más importantes problemas de salud en la España de la postguerra civil y en los años posteriores. El objetivo del estudio fue reconstruir los primeros programas que la OMS puso en marcha en este país, para abordar dicho problema, entre 1951 y 1972 y sus consecuencias. La presencia de consultores y expertos de la OMS de la máxima autoridad científica en el campo de la brucelosis, como Sandford Elberg o Martin Kaplan, fue decisiva en dos aspectos al menos, en primer lugar, para poder disponer de una mirada externa que permitiera conocer la realidad de la situación sanitaria española en el tema del control de dicha zoonosis y, en segundo lugar, para la puesta en ma…
ALLERGENS IN THE PARK AND GARDEN FLORA OF SICILY
2017
The ornamental flora of parks and gardens, as we know, generally includes high proportions of exotics. In Italy it arose from Renaissance on and increasingly enriched up to include a large proportion of exotics native to countries under Mediterranean and temperate climates. Similarly the garden flora of Sicily has a large number of mostly Mediterranean and subtropical exotics. Even if very similar on the whole, these floras differ in some floristic, biological and ecological features. Indeed, several succulent families and genera that are rare or missing in Italy are frequent in Sicily, but plants from temperate regions are almost absent in the island. As regards the allergenic patterns ref…

Microsurgery and external fixation in orthoplastic reconstruction of tibial injuries.
2019
"Orthoplastics" is a relatively new approach to lower limb reconstruction, where an integration of both plastic and orthopedic expertise is required, together with the availability of well-equipped facilities. Acute shortening and long-term frames for lengthening are generally considered alternatives to length preservation and soft tissue microsurgical reconstruction, but an integration of external fixation and reconstructive microsurgery is gaining an increasing role with refinements of joint approaches.Data on sixteen patients who underwent microsurgical lower limb reconstruction and external fixation with an orthoplastic approach, following acute or chronic tibial injury, were retrospect…

Onset of MRONJ in Breast Cancer Patients after Switching from Low to High Dose of Bone Modifying Agents Due to Bone Metastases Development: A Single …
2022
Background: Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) is an adverse drug reaction mainly associated to bone modifying agents (BMAs). Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer worldwide. Its therapy can cause cancer treatment-induced bone loss (CTIBL), commonly treated with BMAs. The aims of this retrospective study are: to describe characteristics of BC patients under BMAs for CTIBL; to record any switch to high-dose BMAs; to assess MRONJ onset and to identify any factors associated with it. Patients: Authors included patients referred for MRONJ prevention to the Unit of Oral Medicine (University Hospital of Palermo). Results: Fourteen female BC patients under low-dose BMAs f…
Osteonecrosis of the jaws and bisphosphonates : report of fifteen cases: therapeutic recommendations
2007
Recently there have been reports of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in patients with chronic therapy with bisphosphonates (Bps). So far three drugs have been linked: Pamidronate of disodium, Zoledronic acid and Alendronate of sodium. It is due to a non detected side effect in clinical trials before commercialization, and reverberates significantly in the quality of life of these patients. Most of the cases are seen in oncology patients that have received long term concurrent antineoplasic therapy and were treated sporadically with steroids, together with Bps endovenous, for treatment of cancer and its symptoms. Among these cases we find the reported by R.E. Marx (1), S.L. Ruggiero (2) and J.…
