Risk assessment in ginecology and obstetrics in Sicily: an approach based on Wolff's Criteria
2013
Objectives To apply Wolff’s Criteria to hospital discharge records (HDR) in order to detect adverse events worthy of further study. Methods Gynecology and Obstetrics Units of three Sicilian hospitals were considered and HDR regarding ordinary and day hospital admissions in 2008 were collected. A matched case-control study was designed, by random selection of 10 controls at maximum for each case. Matching was performed on the variables age and speciality of admission (gynecology or obstetrics). Results Out of a total of 7011 HDR examined, 114 cases were identified with Wolff’s Criteria. Multivariate analysis confirmed a statistically significant association with the origin of admission, diag…
Anthropometric survey on children with Down syndrome
2017
Abstract Objective Study of anthropometric values in the medical records of a representative group of paediatric patients with Down syndrome, from the Down syndrome Unit of the Paediatric Department of Valencia's Hospital Clinico Universitario, from 2000 to 2014. Patients and methods Descriptive observational study in a group of 140 patients between 1 and 13 years. The group was configured based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. We extracted data about birth from their first visit, and subsequently patient data at the time of each visit (643 measurements). Results 103 patients with regular trisomy of Down syndrome were recorded and studied. There were 59 (57%) boys and 44 (43%) girls…
Factor VII Deficiency: Clinical Phenotype, Genotype and Therapy
2017
Factor VII deficiency is the most common among rare inherited autosomal recessive bleeding disorders, and is a chameleon disease due to the lack of a direct correlation between plasma levels of coagulation Factor VII and bleeding manifestations. Clinical phenotypes range from asymptomatic condition—even in homozygous subjects—to severe life-threatening bleedings (central nervous system, gastrointestinal bleeding). Prediction of bleeding risk is thus based on multiple parameters that challenge disease management. Spontaneous or surgical bleedings require accurate treatment schedules, and patients at high risk of severe hemorrhages may need prophylaxis from childhood onwards. The aim of the c…
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy: can a diagnosis be made in patients not fulfilling electrodiagnostic criteria?
2021
Background and purpose The aim was to identify the clinical and diagnostic investigations that may help to support a diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) in patients not fulfilling the European Federation of Neurological Societies and Peripheral Nerve Society (EFNS/PNS) electrodiagnostic criteria. Methods The data from patients with a clinical diagnosis of CIDP included in a national database were retrospectively reviewed. Results In all, 535 patients with a diagnosis of CIDP were included. This diagnosis fulfilled the EFNS/PNS criteria in 468 patients (87.2%) (definite in 430, probable in 33, possible in three, while two had chronic immune sensory p…
Adverse Events in Treatment of Inherited Factor VII Deficiency: Final Analysis of the STER
2012
Abstract Abstract 2279 Introduction No evidence-based guidelines are available for the treatment of Factor VII deficiency. Replacement therapy (RT) is still influenced by different factors as rarity of the disorder, availability and supply of products and economic reasons. All RTs are not exempt of side effects and scanty data is available about the safety of the products currently used. Aim of this study was to analyze adverse events (AEs) of RTs for congenital Factor VII deficiency, as reported in Seven Treatment Evaluation Registry (STER). Design and Methods FVII deficiency patients treated for bleeding episodes, prophylaxis, and surgery were investigated for RT-related AEs over a period…
Potentially inappropriate prescribing in institutionalised older patients in Spain: the STOPP-START criteria compared with the Beers criteria
2011
Objective: The aims of this study were to identify potentially inappropriate prescribing using the Beers and STOPP criteria. The START criteria were applied to detect prescription omission in the geriatric population. We compared the utility of these criteria in institutionalised older people. Methods: Descriptive study reviewing the medication and clinical records of 81 residents (aged 65 years and more) by pharmacists in a nursing home in the Lleida region (Spain). Results: The mean patients´ age was 84 (SD=8) years, with an average of 5 drugs per resident (total prescriptions: 416 medicines). The Beers criteria identified potentially inappropriate medication use in 25% of patients and 48…
Riteņbraucēju un vidēji aktīvu indivīdu m.quadriceps muskuļu morfofunkcionāls salīdzinājums
2017
Augstu rezultātu sasniegšanai, sportistiem profesionāli trenējoties, tiek panākta sporta veidam raksturīgo kustību optimizācija, kā rezultātā būtiski uzlabojas sniegums, taču “asimetrisko” sporta veida pārstāvjiem var rasties muskuļu asimetrija, kas palielina arī traumu risku. Tāpēc šis bakalaura darbs tiek veltīts skeleta muskuļu morfometrisko parametru bilaterālai novērtēšanai salīdzinot personas ar atšķirīgu fizisko sagatavotību un muskuļa noslogojuma veidu. Bakalaura darba mērķis bija izpētīt m.quadriceps muskuļu morfofunkcionālās atšķirības amatieru līmeņa riteņbraucējiem, fiziski vidēji aktīviem un neaktīviem indivīdiem. Kopā pētījumā piedalījās 28 personas vecumā no 19-34 gadiem: 10 …
Constraints on Earth accretion deduced from noble metals in the oceanic mantle
1998
If the Earth's mantle were in equilibrium with its core, the mantle would contain three orders of magnitude less of the noble metals (platinum-group elements Pt, Os, Ir, Ru, Pd and Rh, plus Au and Re) than are observed. An explanation put forward to account for this disparity has been that the last 1% of the Earth's accretion occurred after the iron-rich core had separated from the mantle1,2. Recent debate has accordingly centred on which meteorite class or classes made up this ‘late veneer’ of accretion3. Here we present analyses of noble-metal concentrations in oceanic peridotites (plutonic rocks which are thought to represent samples of the Earth's upper mantle). We find that the average…
Are highly siderophile elements (PGE, Re and Au) fractionated in the upper mantle of the earth? New results on peridotites from Zabargad
2000
Abstract Seven peridotite samples from Zabargad Island (Red Sea) were analyzed for highly siderophile elements (HSE), including five platinum-group elements (PGE: Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pd) and Re and Au. Petrography and chemical composition of the samples had been published earlier [Kurat, G., Palme, h., Embey-Isztin, A., Touret, J., Ntaflos, T., Spettel, B., Brandstatter, F., Palme, C., Dreibus, G., Prinz, m., 1993. Petrology and geochemistry of peridotites and associated vein rocks of Zabargad Island, Red Sea, Egypt. Mineralogy and Petrology 48, 309–341]. Five samples with chemical compositions typical of upper mantle rocks, from fertile to increasingly depleted mantle (CaO: 3.39 to 0.21%), hav…
Highly siderophile element geochemistry of the Earth's mantle: new data for the Lanzo (Italy) and Ronda (Spain) orogenic peridotite bodies
2000
Abstract Nine plagioclase/spinel lherzolites from the Lanzo (Italy) and Ronda (Spain) peridotite bodies were analysed for Re, Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pd, and Au using a high-precision instrumental neutron activation (INA) procedure after NiS fire assay. Our data conform with previous observations that orogenic lherzolite massifs sampled domains of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) displaying a characteristic enrichment of Ru, Rh and Pd (i.e. the light platinum group elements; PGEs) over Os and Ir. The Pd/Ir, Rh/Ir and Ru/Ir ratios are superchondritic and very similar in both suites (2.46±0.32 vs. 2.42±0.21; 0.46±0.07 vs. 0.45±0.10; 1.99±0.14 vs. 2.25±0.25, respectively). Rhenium and gol…
