The immune response behavior in HIV-AIDS patients treated with ozone therapy for two years

2018

HIV continues to be one of the biggest problems for the global public health. The African region is one of the most affected, accounting for almost two thirds of the new infections. Many of them are retroviral medications and multi-therapies aiming to stop the viral replication and maintaining immunological stability, which fail to guarantee the quality of life or enhance the patient's immunity
 Ozone has biological properties, among which the antimicrobial and modulatory effect on the immune response is highlighted, which makes it possible to use it in a complementary way for the treatment of these patients.
 We conducted the present study in which the effect of the ozone therapy…

Delayed versus early initiation of renal replacement therapy for severe acute kidney injury: a systematic review and individual patient data meta-ana…

2020

Summary Background The timing of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for severe acute kidney injury is highly debated when no life-threatening complications are present. We assessed whether a strategy of delayed versus early RRT initiation affects 28-day survival in critically ill adults with severe acute kidney injury. Methods In this systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for randomised trials published from April 1, 2008, to Dec 20, 2019, that compared delayed and early RRT initiation strategies in patients with severe acute kidney injury. Trials were eligible for inclusion …

FRI0044 Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are more beneficial than anti-tnfα drugs on the radiographic damage in arthritis: a study in adjuvant i…

2017

Background The management of the chronic inflammatory rheumatisms has dramatically evolved in the last decade with a concept of “treat to target”. The theory of a window of opportunity with more beneficial effects of an early intensive treatment is supported by several evidences. The positive impact of an early treatment with a TNFα blocker is expected but the place and the interest of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory treatments (NSAIDs) and glucocorticoids is not clear. Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiological outcomes after an early treatment during 21 days by Etanercept, or Naproxene, or Celecoxib, or Prednisone, or Diclofenac or Methotrexate in adjuvant induced a…

Assoziation einer arteriellen Verschlußkrankheit mit Ciclosporin-Therapie nach Nierentransplantation

2008

Renal transplantation followed by immunosuppression with cyclosporine (whole-blood levels 200-300 micrograms/l) and methylprednisolone (4 mg daily) was performed in a 54-year-old man with chronic glomerulonephritis. Three years later rapidly progressive arterial obstructive disease (peripheral type) developed. Parenteral treatment with prostaglandins, calcium antagonists and nitrates, as well as a lumbar sympathectomy, was unsuccessful so that, in rapid succession, several amputations on upper and lower limbs became necessary. The disease progression was arrested only when azathioprine replaced cyclosporine. Raynaud's phenomenon, present at the time, also disappeared and analgesics were no …

Biomechanical evaluation of a new treatment method for distal tibia fractures

2015

Distal tibial fractures are often the result of high-energy impacts combined with excessive soft tissue injury. Treatment options include either open reduction and internal fixation usually as a mi...

Laparoscopic Treatment of Intussusception

2021

Most cases of ileocolic intussusception are reduced by imaging-guided air or fluid enema. If unsuccessful, operative intervention is necessary. The laparoscopic approach allows inspection of the bowel, identification of intraabdominal pathology, and achieves reduction of the intussuscepted bowel in most cases. The procedure requires the combination of slow and gradual traction as well as “rolling” the cecum distally. If unsuccessful, the bowel can be delivered through an extended umbilical incision for extracorporeal manipulation, or resection if this should be necessary.

Skin-reducing Mastectomy with Primary Implant Reconstruction

2011

Background: We present a series of skin-sparing mastectomies (SSMs) with skin reduction and immediate breast reconstruction to treat large and ptotic breasts. The technique combines oncological mastectomy with immediate subpectoral implant placement as a single-step procedure. Methods: Data was collected from a prospective database from February 2009 to April 2011. A total of 24 patients with macromastia or pronounced ptosis fulfilled the criteria for skin-saving mastectomy. All operations were carried out as a single-step procedure with adaptation of the contralateral breast by reduction mastopexy. Results: A total of 27 SSMs were performed in 24 patients. The mean implant volume was 265 c…

New Trends in the Treatment of Osteoporosis

1998

Osteoporosis is “a systemic disease characterized by a reduction in bone mass and a microarchitectonic alteration of the skeleton, with a consequent increase in skeleton fragility and susceptibility to fractures”, as defined by the last Consensus Development Conference1. With this definition, the alteration in skeletal structure, which is not yet easy to evaluate, becomes an important factor determining the risk of fracture of the osteoporotic patient, in addition to the bone mass, which to certain limit can be easily evaluated. This is an aspect that may create some problems at the time of taking a decision on how to proceed with a subject with decreased bone mass. Currently, the measureme…

Blood pressure reduction following treatment with positive airway pressure in sleep apnea: data from the European Sleep Apnea Database

2020

Abstract Introduction Positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment modifies blood pressure (BP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aimed to explore which factors that influence the BP response to PAP therapy in the European Sleep Apnea Database (ESADA). Methods A total of 2662 OSA patients with PAP therapy ≥90 days were included in the analysis (74% male, age 55±11 years, body mass index 32.3±6.1 kg/m2, 47% hypertensives, apnea-hypopnea index 40±24 events/h, treatment duration 1.0±1.1 years, PAP compliance 5.2±1.9 h/day). Anthropometric data, co-medications and office BP were assessed at baseline and follow-up visit. Results Systolic and diastolic BP were modestly reduced after …
