Osteoporosis, densidad mineral ósea y complejo CKD-MBD (II): implicaciones terapéuticas
2019
Resumen: La osteoporosis (OP) y la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) influyen independientemente en la salud ósea. Numerosos pacientes con ERC presentan una disminución de densidad mineral ósea (DMO), un elevado riesgo de fracturas por fragilidad ósea y un incremento de su morbimortalidad. Con el envejecimiento de la población estos hechos no son dependientes solo de la «osteodistrofia renal» sino también de la OP asociada. Dado que la DMO tiene capacidad predictiva en pacientes con ERC (parte I), ahora analizaremos las implicaciones terapéuticas derivadas. Análisis post hoc de estudios aleatorizados han mostrado que fármacos como alendronato, risedronato, raloxifeno, teriparatida o denosumab …
Clinical and biochemical markers of visceral adipose tissue activity: Body mass index, visceral adiposity index, leptin, adiponectin, and matrix meta…
2018
Context: The correlation between aggressive prostate cancer and obesity mainly based on body mass index (BMI) and pathology after surgery remains controversial. Aims: The aim of the study was to correlate BMI, visceral adiposity index (VAI), and the plasmatic levels of leptin, adiponectin, and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), and biomarkers of adipose tissue function, with the detection of Gleason patterns 4 and 5 at biopsy. Subjects and Methods: Consecutive patients with prostate cancer at 12-core transrectal biopsy were enrolled. BMI, waist circumference (WC), blood samples to evaluate the plasmatic levels of triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), adiponectin, leptin, …
Intravesical chemotherapy for intermediate risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer recurring after a first cycle of intravesical adjuvant therapy
2015
Context: The therapeutic strategy in intermediate risk (IR) non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) recurring after intravesical therapy (IT) is not well defined. Most patients are usually retreated by Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of intravesical chemotherapy (ICH) given at recurrence after the first cycle of ICH in IR-NMIBC recurring 6 months or later. Settings and Design: Retrospective analysis of the efficacy of ICH given after previous IT. Materials and Methods: The clinical files of IR-NMIBC patients recurring later than 6 months after transurethral resection (TUR) and IT and retreated by IT were reviewed. The patients should be at intermediate risk…
Bladder tumours in children: An interesting case report of TCC with a partial inverted growth pattern.
2014
Bladder urothelial carcinoma is typically a disease of older individuals and rarely occurs below the age of 40 years. There is debate and uncertainty in the literature regarding the clinicopathologic and prognostic characteristics of bladder urothelial neoplasms in younger patients compared with older patients, although no consistent age criteria have been used to define "younger" age group categories. We report on a 16 years old girl with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder with a partial inverted growth pattern who presented with gross hematuria. Ultrasonography revealed a papillary lesion in the bladder; cystoscopic evaluation showed a 15 mm papillary lesion with a thick stalk loc…
