Diagnosi di osteonecrosi mediante WB-MRI in paziente con Linfoma di Hodgkin resistente trattato con BEACOPP: Case Report.
2016
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a very common haematological neoplasm with high possibilities of response to treatment. On the other hand, therapies are often responsible for clinically relevant complications. Among these is osteonecrosis, generally determined by the high dosages of corticosteroids included in the chemotherapeutic protocols, which lead to bone ischemia through multifactorial mechanisms such as hypercoagulability and increase of intraosseous pressure due to hyperplasia of the adipose component. We report the case of a 29-year-old man with resistant Hodgkin's lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy which determined the appearance of multifocal osteonecrosis detected by Magnetic Resonance whol…
Evaluation of jaw bone changes in patients with asthma using inhaled corticosteroids with mandibular radiomorphometric indices on dental panoramic ra…
2023
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are an effective drug commonly used in asthma treatment. It is known that osteoporotic changes can occur secondary to steroid usage, depending on dosage and duration. The aim of this study was to compare radiomorphometric indices and fractal dimension on panoramic images of patients with asthma using ICSs and healthy controls. A total of 66 dental panoramic radiographs (DPRs) taken from 32 patients with asthma using ICSs and 34 healthy individuals were evaluated in this retrospective study. Panoramic mandibular index inferior and superior (PMI-i,PMI-s), mandibular cortical width (MCW), gonial index (GI), antegonial index (AI), mandibular cortical index (MCI), …
Plausible Role of Estrogens in Pathogenesis, Progression and Therapy of Lung Cancer
2021
Malignant neoplasms are among the most common diseases and are responsible for the majority of deaths in the developed world. In contrast to men, available data show a clear upward trend in the incidence of lung cancer in women, making it almost as prevalent as breast cancer. Women might be more susceptible to the carcinogenic effect of tobacco smoke than men. Furthermore, available data indicate a much more frequent mutation of the tumor suppressor gene-p53 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) female patients compared to males. Another important factor, however, might lie in the female sex hormones, whose mitogenic or carcinogenic effect is well known. Epidemiologic data show a correlatio…
The Palliative Care in the Metastatic Spinal Tumors. A Systematic Review on the Radiotherapy and Surgical Perspective
2022
Spine represents the most common site for metastatic disease involvement. Due to the close relationship between the spinal cord and critical structures, therapeutic management of spinal metastases remains challenging. Spinal localization can lead to neurological sequelae, which can significantly affect the quality of life in patients with a limited life expectancy. The authors conducted a systematic literature review according to PRISMA guidelines in order to determine the impact of the most updated palliative care on spinal metastases. The initial literature search retrieved 2526 articles, manually screened based on detailed exclusion criteria. Finally, 65 studies met the inclusion criteri…
Utilidad diagnóstica de la ecografía abdominal con contraste en la patología inflamatoria digestiva
2014
La ecografía abdominal con contraste (EAC) es una nueva técnica que ofrece información de la microvascularización de los órganos intraabdominales (asas intestinales, páncreas, hígado,…), lo que la hace idónea para explorar la inflamación de los mismos. El objetivo del presente proyecto es analizar la utilidad de esta técnica en la valoración de la patología inflamatoria digestiva centrándose en dos trastornos inflamatorios de gran relevancia clínica: la enfermedad de Crohn (EC), proceso inflamatorio crónico, y la pancreatitis aguda (PA), proceso inflamatorio agudo. La hipótesis del trabajo es que las medidas cuantitativas del realce intestinal o pancreático tras la administración intravenos…

Mejora de la calidad y seguridad del uso diagnóstico de los radiofármacos en pacientes pediátricos
2016
Los radiofármacos constituyen un grupo de medicamentos especiales que requieren una regulación específica para asegurar el uso de los mismos con garantías de calidad, seguridad y eficacia. La ausencia de un estándar de dosificación ha propiciado que en la práctica asistencial exista una variabilidad elevada en la selección de la actividad óptima de un determinado radiofármaco. Esta situación alcanza un mayor riesgo en los pacientes pediátricos, ya que por ser más radiosensibles, la exposición a la radiación conlleva un mayor riesgo para su salud. Por ello, se plantea la mejora del proceso de utilización de los radiofármacos a través de la selección de la actividad más segura, en términos de…
Effectiveness of Gamification in Knee Replacement Rehabilitation : Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial With a Qualitative Approach
2022
Background: Exergames can provide encouraging exercise options. Currently, there is limited evidence regarding home-based exergaming in the postoperative phase of total knee replacement (TKR). Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 4-month postoperative home-based exergame intervention with an 8-month follow-up on physical function and symptoms among older persons undergoing TKR compared with home exercise using a standard protocol. In addition, a concurrent embedded design of a mixed methods study was used by including a qualitative component within a quantitative study of exergame effects. Methods: This was a dual-center, nonblinded, two-arm, parallel group randomized…
