Intraoral soft tissue lipomas: clinicopathological features from 91 cases diagnosed in a single Oral Pathology service.

2020

Background intraoral soft tissue lipomas are relatively uncommon mesenchymal neoplasms. Few papers have been published comparing the clinicopathological features of these tumors in different populations. The aim of the present study was to analyze the clinicopathological features from intraoral soft tissue lipomas diagnosed in a Brazilian population. Material and Methods all cases diagnosed as intraoral soft tissue lipomas in an Oral Pathology laboratory from 2005 to 2019 were retrieved and descriptively analyzed; statistical analysis was performed for comparison of the clinical and demographic parameters. Results 91 intraoral lipomas were retrieved, including 56 lipomas, 30 fibrolipomas, 2…

A case of hypocalcemia

2011

Hypocalcemia is a common disorder in the elderly, affecting 10% of the elderly population as a whole, 18% of those in hospital and 36% of those in long-term care [1, 2]. Many conditions can lead to hypocalcemia in adults young and old, e.g. primary hypoparathyroidism, chronic renal failure, gastrointestinal diseases (such as celiac disease or Crohn’s disease), drugs (particularly diuretics, bisphosphonates and antiepileptics), acute pancreatitis and thyroid surgery. Rare causes of hypocalcemia include isolated vitamin 1.25(OH)D3 deficiency or vitamin 1.25(OH)D3 resistance. Another, often neglected cause of hypocalcemia relating to functional parathyroid deficiency is hypomagnesemia. Magnesi…

Self‐management of immunomodulatory drug treatment in multiple myeloma patients

2019

Objective Immunomodulatory drugs (IMIDs: thalidomide, lenalidomide and pomalidomide) are widely used in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). The aim of our study was to validate a questionnaire to evaluate the self-capacity of MM patients to manage IMID treatment including side effects. Methods We used a method adapted from the recommendations of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) to validate a French questionnaire for patients with MM treated with IMIDs. Results The face validity was evaluated in 15 patients and the construct validity in 56 patients. For discriminant validity, two groups were constituted by gender and depending on whether they had a prev…

The Psychopathy Checklist and non-violent offender groups

1992

Cleckley’s concept of psychopathy includes characteristics such as superficial charm, unreliability, and affective poverty. In this study, the Psychopathy Checklist (PCL) and personality questionnaires (MMPI, CPI, EPQ, and SSS) were used to assess 92 non-violent male offenders. The variable-based approach was applied in order to study the structure of the PCL and the relationships between the PCL, the PCL factors and the personality questionnaire scores. The results indicated that the personality scale scores failed to correlate positively with the PCL score, with the exception of the MMPI hypomania score. Two PCL factors emerged: factor 1 related to the core personality characteristics of …

Condylar intramedullary intraosseous lipoma : contribution of a new case and review of the literature

2017

Background Lipoma is the most common benign tumour of the human body, being intraosseous involvement very rare. Just 1 to 4% of all cases of lipoma are located in the oral cavity, only 0.1% being intraosseous. The jaw is its most uncommon bone location. Etiology of intraosseous lipoma (IOL) is unknown, although several theories have been proposed. Usually asymptomatic, the symptoms, when present, will depend on its location and size. Its origin may be intraosseous or juxtacortical. A biopsy is essential for diagnosis, and definitive treatment involves resection or curettage of the lesion. The aim of this paper is to present a new case of intramedullary intraosseous lipoma of the mandible wi…

Small bowel volvulus due to a large intestinal lipoma: A rare case report

2020

Highlights • These are rare, benign, slow-growing mesenchymal tumors originating from adipose tissue in the bowel wall. Lipomas of mesentery, mesocolon, and antimesenteric side of intestine are extremely rare. • We describe a case of small bowel obstruction secondary to volvulus due to an antimesenteric ileal lipoma. • Mesenteric lipomas are rare clinical entity, with less than 50 cases described in English language literature. CT scan is the gold standard imaging modality for diagnosis of mesenteric lipoma and other lipomatous abdominal masses. • It shows homogenous tumor of adipose tissue, gives information about features of the small bowel and if there is evidence of ischemia and can dem…

Ulcera crónica lingual inducida por lipoma de la cavidad oral: caso clinico

2004

Aunque se trata de uno de los tumores benignos más frecuentes del organismo, el hallazgo de lipomas en la cavidad oral es un hecho inusual. En esta localización suelen presentar un crecimiento lento, indoloro y asintomático que puede dar lugar a tumoraciones redondeadas y bien definidas de gran tamaño. En estos casos son frecuentes los síntomas relacionados con la compresión de las estructuras vecinas. En el presente trabajo estudiamos el caso clínico de un paciente en el que el lipoma intraoral fue el hallazgo definitivo tras el diagnostico diferencial exhaustivo de una úlcera crónica de la lengua y del suelo de la boca. La clave para el diagnóstico fueron las pruebas de imagen (TC y RNM) …

Monitoring Commercial Starter Culture Development in Presence of Red Grape Pomace Powder to Produce Polyphenol-Enriched Fresh Ovine Cheeses at Indust…

2021

Red grape Nero d’Avola cultivar grape pomace powder (GPP) was applied during fresh ovine cheese production in order to increase polyphenol content. Before cheeses were produced, the bacteria of a freeze-dried commercial starter culture were isolated and tested in vitro against GPP. Two dominant strains, both resistant to GPP, were identified. Thestarter culture was inoculated in pasteurized ewe’s milk and the curd was divided into two bulks, one added with 1% (w/w) GPP and another one GPP-free. GPP did not influence the starter culture development, since lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts were 109 CFU/g in both cheeses at 30 d. To exclude the interference of indigenous LAB, the pasteurized m…

Elaboración de la prueba de orientación y medición académica (POMA) previa al ingreso a los estudios superiores en la República Dominicana

2004

espanolAnte el imperativo legal de desarrollar una "prueba inicial de medicion y orientacion previa al ingreso a los Estudios Superiores" (Ley 139-0 l ), el autor propone a la SEESCYT, dadas las condiciones educativas de la Republica .Dominicana, evaluar el constructo Inteligencia Academica. Para probar lo adecuacion de este tipo de evaluacion el autor construye un instrumento de medida, el IAUD que es aplicado a un muestra de 402 alumnos de primer ano de ingreso a las u niversidades dominicanas. Este trabajo viene a ser la presentacion de las fases metodologicas utilizadas en el proceso de construccion de esla prueba , tales como: la definicion del atributo, el desarrollo del modelo de pro…
