A Continuous Pore Size Gradient PLLA Scaffold For Osteochondral Regeneration
2016
Osteochondral (OC) scaffold-based regenerative approaches in the joint are challenging since the scaffold must provide mechanical strength while also mimicking the local cartilage and bone microenvironments. Thermally Induced Phase Separation (TIPS) can produce scaffolds with a wide range of pore size morphologies/distributions. Here, we produced by TIPS a poly-L-lactide (PLL A) scaffold with a continuous pore size gradient along the sample thickness, from ~70μm diameter on one side to ~200 μm diameter on the opposite surface.
Zastowanie cyklodekstryn w technologii wdrukowania molekularnego
2022
In the last decade molecular imprinted polymers (MIP) have gained great interest in the area of selective recognition various type substances. Scientific work in this field is carried out very intensively - the methods of synthesis are modified and improved, new types of hydride materials are created, as well as new reagents for synthesis. In this case, cyclodextrins (CD) and their analogues show good molecular recognition ability for its unique physical and chemical properties and suitable cavity structure. As a result, these supramolecular ligands can perform various functions in the MIP technology, and the resulting polymeric materials are characterized by high selectivity and binding sp…
Reconstrucción mamaria inmediata mediante grasa autóloga tras tumorectomía de mama
2017
Uno de los progresos más notables en cirugía plástica en los últimos años, consiste en la capacidad que hemos adquirido, tras varias décadas de ensayos frustrados, del uso de la grasa autóoga como autoinjerto. La grasa autologa, es decir de uno mismo, es el mejor material de relleno que se pueda imaginar: es fácil de extraer y no deja secuelas ya que la liposucción es una técnica atraumática, es absolutamente inocuo desde el punto de vista alergogénico, ya que forma parte de nuestro organismo, es permanente y el coste de realizar este tratamiento es muy bajo. Otro de los avances de la medicina en estas últimas décadas consiste en la cirugía conservadora de mama: se extirpa el tumor mamario …
Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score is Associated With Risk of Recurrence in Bladder Cancer Patients After Radical Cystectomy
2015
Recently, many studies explored the role of inflammation parameters in the prognosis of urinary cancers, but the results were not consistent. The modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), a systemic inflammation marker, is a prognostic marker in various types of cancers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the usefulness of the preoperative mGPS as predictor of recurrence-free (RFS), overall (OS), and cancer-specific (CSS) survivals in a large cohort of urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) patients.A total of 1037 patients with UBC were included in this study with a median follow-up of 22 months (range 3-60 months). An mGPS = 0 was observed in 646 patients (62.3%), mGPS = 1 in 297 pa…
Obesity and survival in operable breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant anthracyclines and taxanes according to pathological subtypes: a pooled…
2013
Obesity is an unfavorable prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC) patients regardless of menopausal status and treatment received. However, the association between obesity and survival outcome by pathological subtype requires further clarification. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis including 5,683 operable BC patients enrolled in four randomized clinical trials (GEICAM/9906, GEICAM/9805, GEICAM/2003-02, and BCIRG 001) evaluating anthracyclines and taxanes as adjuvant treatments. Our primary aim was to assess the prognostic effect of body mass index (BMI) on disease recurrence, breast cancer mortality (BCM), and overall mortality (OM). A secondary aim was to detect differences o…
Iedzīvotāju zināšanas par žultsakmeņu slimības attīstību veicinošajiem faktoriem un profilaksi
2021
Visā pasaulē, tajā skaitā arī Latvijā, viena no biežākajām ķirurģiskajām saslimšanām, kam nepieciešama operatīva ārstēšana, ir žultsakmeņu slimība (ŽAS) jeb holelitāze. Tās izplatība pieaug līdz ar iedzīvotāju vecumu un mūsdienu dzīvesveida paradumiem, tādiem kā, nesabalansēts, neregulārs uzturs un mazkustīgs dzīvesveids. Šis bakalaura darbs tika izveidots ar mērķi - noskaidrot iedzīvotāju zināšanas par žultsakmeņu slimības attīstību veicinošajiem faktoriem un profilaksi. Pirms pētījuma veikšanas, lai pārliecinātos par anketas jautājumu saprotamību, tika veikts pilotpētījums, aptaujājot desmit respondentus. Analizējot, sniegtās atbildes, tika secināts, ka ir nepieciešams veikt labojumus 4. …
