Innovative Strategies to Develop Chemical Categories Using a Combination of Structural and Toxicological Properties.
2016
Interest is increasing in the development of non-animal methods for toxicological evaluations. These methods are however, particularly challenging for complex toxicological endpoints such as repeated dose toxicity. European Legislation, e.g., the European Union's Cosmetic Directive and REACH, demands the use of alternative methods. Frameworks, such as the Read-across Assessment Framework or the Adverse Outcome Pathway Knowledge Base, support the development of these methods. The aim of the project presented in this publication was to develop substance categories for a read-across with complex endpoints of toxicity based on existing databases. The basic conceptual approach was to combine str…

Procalcitonin levels in candidemia versus bacteremia: a systematic review
2019
Background Procalcitonin (PCT) is a biomarker used to assess systemic inflammation, infection, and sepsis and to optimize antimicrobial therapies. Its role in the in the differential diagnosis between candidemia and bacteremia is unclear. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the current evidence about PCT values for differentiating candidemia from bacteremia. Methods PubMed and EMBASE were searched for studies reporting data on the diagnostic performance of serum PCT levels in intensive care unit (ICU) or non-ICU adult patients with candidemia, in comparison to patients with bacteremia. Results We included 16 studies for a total of 45.079 patients and 785 cases of candidemia. …
Procalcitonin and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children
2015
The role of procalcitonin (PCT) as a biomarker for sepsis in adults is well documented, while its role in infections affecting neonatal children remains controversial. Among these infections, Community-Acquired pneumonia (CAP) has been studied extensively, because it's the second cause of death in children in developing countries, and one of the most frequent causes of hospitalization in industrialized countries. The PubMed database and the Cochrane Library were used to search for the following keywords: CAP, procalcitonin, and children. Thirteen articles were studied to determine the role of PCT in CAP management, specifically its usefulness for distinguishing pneumococcal infections from …
Radioloģijas metožu pielietojums kriminālistikā
2022
Bakalaura darba tēma – “Radioloģijas metožu pielietojums kriminālistikā”. Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka tas, ka Latvijā vērojams otrs augstākais vardarbīgo nāves gadījumu skaits un visaugstākais slepkavības gadījumu skaits ES. Būtiski, ka aptuveni desmitajai daļai mirušo nāves cēlonis netiek noteikts, sestā daļa slepkavību netiek atklātas, augsta ir arī tiesu medicīnas ekspertu noslodze. Rodas jautājums, kā ir iespējams padarīt optimālāku tiesu medicīniskās izpētes un ekspertīžu veikšanu, un kā var paaugstināt to precizitāti, rezultativitāti. Darba mērķis - aprakstīt radioloģijas metodes kriminālistikā, izpētīt, kura no tām ir efektīvākā. Pētījuma jautājums: kura no radioloģijas metodēm krimināl…
Le notificazioni nel processo civile
2014
Il volume affronta ex professo le principali problematiche in tema di notificazioni civili, con attenzione agli aspetti teorici come a quelli pratici. Particolare rilievo è dato al principio della scissione temporale della notifica (o perfezionamento asimmetrico) per il notificante e il destinatario
