Transverse Small Skin Incision for Carotid Endarterectomy
2015
The purpose of this report is to determine the feasibility of short transverse skin incision (STI4 cm) for eversion (EEA) and patch (PEA) endarterectomy with or without shunt by comparing it with the outcomes after long transverse skin incision (LTI 4-8 cm).Of 164 elective consecutive patients (71 ± 2.73% symptomatic) operated at one institution over 24 months, 81 were treated with STI, while 83 patients received LTI. The LTI and STI groups did not differ in terms of age, symptoms, or risk factors. EEA or PEA under locoregional (LRA) or general (GA) anesthesia were performed.STI was associated with shorter operation times (75.19 ± 15.33 vs. 94.87 ± 41 and 99.4 ± 27.36 vs. 132.66 ± 51.32, re…
Radiology for Postmortem
2019
Thanatology deals with the study of early and postmortem changes in relation to the estimation of the time since death. These normal postmortem changes depend on internal and external factors, such as body temperature, preexisting conditions, underlying disease or injury, and the postmortem interval.
Trichoscopy features of trichotillomania
2019
Trichotillomania is a form of traction alopecia resulting from repetitive and compulsive hair pulling and plucking. Trichotillomania and patchy alopecia areata may have similar clinical and dermoscopic features in some cases. On trichoscopic examination, the presence of black dots, coiled or hook hair, shafts of varying lengths with fraying or split ends (trichoptilosis), and an absence of exclamation mark hairs and yellow dots are suggestive of trichotillomania.
Developmental expression of human cartilage matrix protein.
1994
Cartilage matrix protein (CMP) is a non-collagenous component of cartilage with a yet unknown function. In this study we used in situ hybridization to investigate the temporal and sptial distribution of CMP transcripts during human embryonic and early fetal development, and compared it to the pattern of expression observed for collagen types I, II, X, and decorin. The distribution of CMP and collagen type II transcripts followed a similar pattern in the embryonic bone anlage, the fetal growth plate, and the developing vertebral column. Expression was highest in the upper hypertrophic and lower proliferative zone, whereas calcified cartilage was negative throughout the different stages of bo…
The use of topical corticosteroides in the treatment of oral lichen planus in Spain: A national survey
2017
Background Explore the treatment of oral lichen planus with topical corticosteroids by the healthcare professionals in Spain. Material and Methods A questionnaire targeted health professionals who treat OLP, in particular maxillofacial surgeons, dermatologist and dentist. The dissemination of the questionnaires was conducted through professional associations and dental and medical societies. The questionnaire was previously evaluated by means of a cognitive pre-test procedure to ensure that the questions were opportune and appropriate, understandable and acceptable among the professionals. Results Of the 890 questionnaires sent a total of 190 questionnaires were answered by 90 dentists, 60 …
S2k guidelines for the treatment of psoriasis in children and adolescents - Short version part 2.
2019
The present guidelines are aimed at residents and board-certified physicians in the fields of dermatology, pediatrics, pediatric dermatology and pediatric rheumatology as well as policymakers and insurance funds. They were developed by dermatologists and pediatric dermatologists in collaboration with pediatric rheumatologists using a formal consensus process (S2k). The guidelines highlight topics such as disease severity, quality of life, treatment goals as well as problems associated with off-label drug therapy in children. Trigger factors and diagnostic aspects are discussed. The primary focus is on the various topical, systemic and UV-based treatment options available and includes recomm…
Diagnóstico de la tuberculosis en la edad pediátrica. Documento de consenso de la Sociedad Española de Infectología Pediátrica (SEIP) y la Sociedad E…
2010
Resumen: La tuberculosis continúa siendo uno de los problemas sanitarios más importantes en el mundo. En países desarrollados se está asistiendo a un aumento de casos, incluidos los niños, por diferentes motivos. El más determinante parece ser la inmigración procedente de zonas con elevada endemia de tuberculosis.Es prioritario que se establezcan las medidas necesarias para optimizar el diagnóstico precoz y adecuado de las distintas formas clínicas de tuberculosis en niños. Para ello, la Sociedad Española de Infectología Pediátrica (SEIP) y la Sociedad Española de Neumología Pediátrica (SENP), ambas pertenecientes Asociación Española de Pediatría, han decidido realizar el presente documento…
Pure anti-oestrogens
2000
Pure anti-oestrogens are a group of at least five new compounds which are able to antagonize the effects of oestrogen in all tissues and species studied. The mechanism by which the pure anti-oestrogens produce their effects remains in question, but all of them are competitive antagonists of the oestrogen receptors and, moreover, have been proposed to block the shuttling of oestrogen receptors into the cell nucleus. When studied in vitro, these compounds are able to block the oestrogen-stimulated growth of breast cancer cells. In animals, their ability to block the effects of oestrogen on breast, uterus, bone, cardiovascular system and other reproductive-associated tissues has been demonstra…
Multi Regression Analysis of Skin Temperature Variation During Cycling Exercise
2017
In the last years, infrared thermography (IRT) has become a popular technique to determine human skin temperature during exercise [1–3]. IRT presents several applications in sport science such as the detection of injury, the thermophysiology assessment, the sport clothing assessment/design, or its application in equestrian sport, among others [3]. However, IRT in sports is still a recent topic and there are many fundamental discussions concerning different methodological aspects, being one of them the analysis of the thermal data [4].
Roentgenological observations on vocal fold length-changes with special reference to register transition and open/covered voice
1992
This paper examines the length-changes of the vocal folds as a function of voice pitch. Changes in normalized vocal fold elongation (strain) were measured indirectly from calcification points in several laryngeal structures from roentgenological exposures during singing. Changes in vocal fold strain are shown to occur mainly in the register transition area, i.e. the area within which all register changes take place. Changes in vocal fold strain appeared similar in male and female subjects. Evidence for different strain patterns in covered and open singing is presented for female subjects: Strain is higher in non-singers and (“incorrect”) open voice, lower in singers and (“correct”) covered …
