Risk-Reducing Gynecological Surgery in Lynch Syndrome: Results of an International Survey from the Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database.
2020
Purpose: To survey risk-reducing hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) practice and advice regarding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in women with Lynch syndrome. Methods: We conducted a survey in 31 contributing centers from the Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database (PLSD), which incorporates 18 countries worldwide. The survey covered local policies for risk-reducing hysterectomy and BSO in Lynch syndrome, the timing when these measures are offered, the involvement of stakeholders and advice regarding HRT. Results: Risk-reducing hysterectomy and BSO are offered to path_MLH1 and path_MSH2 carriers in 20/21 (95%) contributing centers, to path_MSH6 carriers in 19/21 (91%) and…
Long term complications following pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy for endometrial cancer, incidence and potential risk factors: a single insti…
2019
ObjectiveTo determine the incidence of long term lymphadenectomy complications in primary surgery for endometrial cancer and to elucidate risk factors for these complications.MethodsA retrospective chart review was carried out for all patients with endometrial cancer managed at Parma University Hospital Unit of Gynecology and Obstetrics between 2010 and 2016. Inclusion criteria were surgical procedure including hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy (pelvic or pelvic and aortic). We identified patients with postoperative lymphocele and lower extremity lymphedema. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictive factors for postoperative complications.ResultsOf the 249 patients tested,…
Encapsulation of Vitamins A and E as Spray-Dried Additives for the Feed Industry
2020
Encapsulated fat-soluble powders containing vitamin A (VA) and E (VE) were prepared as a feasible additive for extruded feed products. The effect of the encapsulating agents (Capsul-CAP®
Spontaneous labour at term is associated with fetal monocyte activation.
1999
SUMMARYThe aetiology of both term and preterm labour remains incompletely understood. Maternal infectious diseases as well as intra-uterine infections were shown to be a well established cause of uncontrollable preterm delivery, indicating that inflammatory reactions, regulated by maternal immunecompetent cells, are implicated in labour-promoting mechanisms. To investigate the possibility that the activation of the fetal immune system may be involved in labour induction, we examined cytokine production patterns of different cord blood cell populations obtained from neonates after spontaneous onset of normal term labour and vaginal delivery (n = 25), vaginal delivery but induced term labour …
T cell–mediated response to SARS‐CoV‐2 in liver transplant recipients with prior COVID‐19
2021
Abstract Whether immunosuppression impairs severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2‐specific T‐cell‐mediated immunity (SARS‐CoV‐2‐CMI) after liver transplantation (LT) remains unknown. We included 31 LT recipients in whom SARS‐CoV‐2‐CMI was assessed by intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) and interferon (IFN)‐γ FluoroSpot assay after a median of 103 days from COVID‐19 diagnosis. Serum SARS‐CoV‐2 IgG antibodies were measured by ELISA. A control group of non‐transplant immunocompetent patients were matched (1:1 ratio) by age and time from diagnosis. Post‐transplant SARS‐CoV‐2‐CMI was detected by ICS in 90.3% (28/31) of recipients, with higher proportions for IFN‐γ‐producing CD4+ than …
Is COVID‐19 infection more severe in kidney transplant recipients?
2021
International audience; There are no studies which have compared the risk of severe Covid-19 and related mortality between transplant recipients and non-transplant patients. We enrolled two groups of patients hospitalized for Covid-19, i.e., kidney transplant recipients from the French Registry of Solid Organ Transplant (n=306) and a single-center cohort of non-transplant patients (n=795). An analysis was performed among subgroups matched for age and risk factors for severe Covid-19 or mortality. Severe Covid-19 was defined as admission (or transfer) to an intensive care unit, need for mechanical ventilation, or death.Transplant recipients were younger and had more comorbidities compared to…
Hydrolytic enzyme activity of Paenibacillus sp. strain B2 and effects of the antagonistic bacterium on cell integrity of two soil-borne pathogenic fu…
2000
Paenibacillus sp. strain B2, isolated from the mycorrhizosphere of Sorghum bicolor and having an antagonistic activity towards soil-borne fungal pathogens, possessed extracellular cellulolytic, proteolytic, chitinolytic and pectinolytic enzyme activities. The eventual role of these lytic enzymes in cellular interactions between Paenibacillus sp. strain B2 and Phytophthora parasitica and Fusariumoxysporum was investigated by electron microscopy and molecular cytology. Electron microscopic observations showed that the presence of Paenibacillus sp. strain B2 resulted in disorganisation of cell walls and/or cell contents of P. parasitica and F. oxysporum. However, when P. parasitica was treated…
Pacientu tiesību aizsardzības līdzekļi Latvijā
2019
Pacientu tiesības ir medicīnas tiesību apakšnozare, kura regulē attiecības starp pacientu, veselības pakalpojuma sniedzēju un valsti. Pacienta attiecības ar valsti ir atspoguļotas ne vien normatīvo aktu izdošanā un tiesību un pienākumu noteikšanā, bet arī pacientu tiesību aizsardzības līdzekļu izveidē un to darbības nodrošināšanā. Bakalaura darbā tiek apskatīts pacientu tiesību tvērums un pacientu kā īpašas sociālās grupas tiesiskais stāvoklis Latvijā un ārpus tās, noteikti pacientu tiesību aizskāruma izveidošanās mehānismi un iespējamās sekas. Tāpat ir veikts Latvijā pastāvošo pacientu tiesību aizsardzības līdzekļu izvērtējums, kur tiesu prakses apkopošanas rezultātā tiek secināts par to e…
Ētikas diskursi par "oligarhu sarunām" un to publicēšanu Latvijas latviešu valodā rakstošajos medijos
2018
“Oligarhu sarunu” publicēšana žurnālā “Ir” 2017. gada 15. jūnijā Latvijas publiskajā telpā aktualizēja diskusiju par sarunās iesaistīto pušu ētisko atbildību šajā notikumā. Pētījuma “Ētikas diskursi par "oligarhu sarunām" un to publicēšanu Latvijas latviešu valodā rakstošajos medijos” mērķis ir atklāt ētikas diskursus ziņu portālu Irir.lv, NRA.lv, Diena.lv, LA.lv publikācijās laika periodā no 2017. gada 15. jūnija līdz 20. jūlijam. Pētījuma jautājums ir – kādi ētikas diskursi tiek veidoti Irir.lv, NRA.lv, Diena.lv, LA.lv publikācijās par “oligarhu sarunām” un to publicēšanu? Darba teorētiskajā daļā apzināts ētikas jēdziens un teorijas, lai pēc tam, izmantojot kvantitatīvās kontentanalīzes u…
‘Le Voces Variae Animantium nel medioevo’,
2017
The essay surveys the evolution of the genre 'Voces Variae Animantius', that is list of animals (but also a few natural phenomena and objects) and their respective 'vox' in the Middle Ages. The lists taken into examination are both in Latin and the vulgars (English and Insular French).
