Is avoidance of surgery possible in patients with perimenopausal ovarian tumors using transvaginal ultrasound and duplex color Doppler sonography?

1993

A total of 108 cases of small perimenopausal ovarian tumors (largest diameter, less than 7 cm) were evaluated by transvaginal sonography and duplex color Doppler sonography; 101 had criteria for benignity and 7 for malignancy. All cysts were punctured and aspirated to avoid unnecessary surgery (benign cases) and establish the cytologic diagnosis as well as to avoid the risk of leakage (malignant cases). Recurrence rate of benign punctured cysts was 25% within 1 year of follow up. No difference in recurrent rate was seen between pre- and postmenopausal patients (19 of 56 cases in the premenopausal group, and five of 28 cases in the postmenopausal group). The larger the cyst, the greater the …

Ultrasound-guided lumbar puncture for nusinersen administration in spinal muscular atrophy patients.

2020

Background and purpose The purpose was to report the results of ultrasound-guided lumbar puncture for the administration of nusinersen in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) patients with complex spines. Methods Eighteen SMA patients (five children, five adolescents and eight adults) with either severe scoliosis or spondylodesis were evaluated for ultrasound-guided lumbar puncture. Ultrasound was performed with a 3.5 MHz transducer to guide a 22 gauge × 15 mm needle, which was placed in the posterior lumbar space following a parasagittal interlaminar approach. Results Twelve patients had undergone spinal instrumentation (nine growing rods and three spinal fusion) whilst the other six showed sever…

Healthy Lifestyle and Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

2021

Having a healthy lifestyle is one of the main personal goals, and multiple behaviors can be used to achieve this goal. However, people do not always develop appropriate health behaviors. One of the consumption alternatives is the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), which has been increasing significantly in recent years, although not always adequately. This study aimed to determine whether CAM use is associated with a healthy lifestyle in Spanish adults. To achieve these objectives, 2486 adults were interviewed as part of the 2018 Barometer of the Centro de Investigaciones Sociologicas about their lifestyle and CAM use. The findings show a relationship between healthy lifes…

Platelet Reactivity in Hemophilia a. Flow Cytometry Study to Detect the Hemorragic Phenotype

2016

Abstract INTRODUCTION Hemophilia A (HA) is a rare inherited genetic disorder linked to the X chromosome, characterized by joint bleeding in patients with severe disease with <1% of factor VIII (FVIII)(White et al. Thromb Haemost 2001). However, there are cases of severe HA with less bleeding than usual and it has been postulated that there must be other contributors to the hemorrhagic phenotype, including a platelet dysfunction (Van Bladel et al. Haematologica 2011). In this study we analyzed platelet reactivity in a cohort of 16 male patients with severe HA in prophylactic treatment by flow cytometry. The control group was 15 healthy male subjects. METHODS A longitudinal prospective obs…

Data from: Effects of undergrowth removal and edge proximity on ground beetles and vascular plants in urban boreal forests

2019

Urban forests are regularly managed for human safety and aesthetic reasons, but they are crucial habitat for many species. Removals of undergrowth occur commonly in these forests, yet the ecological consequences of these operations are poorly understood. We sampled ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) and vascular plants along 20-m edge gradients in Finnish urban forests, in five stands treated 0.5−2.5 years earlier with undergrowth removal and in five untreated stands. We hypothesized that undergrowth removal and edge proximity would benefit opportunistic and open-habitat species, whereas shady-habitat species would be affected negatively. (1) Regarding carabids, diversity and evenness i…

Cefalea postpunción dural: correlación clínico-radiológica.

2015

El síndrome de hipotensión intracraneal ha sido ampliamente estudiado por parte de los profesionales de Neurología, de lo que se derivan gran cantidad de publicaciones en las que se describen sus manifestaciones clínicas, radiológicas y anatomopatológicas, así como diferentes teorías para explicar su fisiopatología. Por otro lado, se considera a la cefalea postpunción dural (CPPD) como síntoma del síndrome de hipotensión intracraneal de causa conocida, no habiendo sido estudiado como patología independiente del resto de las causas. La falta de estudios de una complicación de una técnica habitual en Anestesiología, como es la punción dural, con un diagnóstico casi exclusivamente clínico y qu…
