The effect of age on opioid switching to methadone: a systematic review.

2012

The aim of this review was to assess from the existing literature the effect of age on the outcome of opioid switching to methadone, and the possible influence on conversions ratios.Older patients represent a challenge for physicians, as a further factor may play a role in dosing methadone and possibly on successful switching. Although existing data are not conclusive because this aspect did not receive particular attention in most studies, at the present time age has not been found to be independently associated with the dose ratio. Further prospective studies in a large sample of patients, subgrouped for classes of age, opioid doses, and reasons to switch, should be designed to provide mo…

Acid-Base Balance after Continent Urinary Diversion in Childhood – Risk of Imbalance Despite Medication

2010

Purpose Continent urinary-intestinal diversion can lead to alterations of the acid-base balance, acutely and chronically, the latter possibly causing bone demineralization. Annual check-ups have therefore been recommended for decades. Material and Methods At our institution, 89 children underwent continent urinary diversion by ileocecal pouch or bladder substitution between 1984 and 2006. In 58 of these patients (age 3-17 y., median 13.9 y.), we performed a minimum of 3 (range 3-23, median 6.2) consecutive annual blood-gas analyses over a follow-up period of up to 23 years (median 11.0) after surgery. At a base excess (BE) (as marker of the acid-base-balance) value below -2.5 mmol/l, treatm…

Orthotopic bladder augmentation and substitution.

1999

Orthotopic bladder augmentation or substitution using intestinal segments has become a standard procedure for many disorders that cause a loss of functional or anatomical bladder capacity. From the technical point of view, reservoir configuration by detubularizing the intestinal segments is the general practice. Various techniques exist, depending which types of segments and which techniques of ureteral implantation are used. Common problems include urinary incontinence, retention, metabolic disorders, and the possibility of secondary malignancies. As a result, research has been conducted into utilizing tissues other than intestine for bladder augmentation or substitution.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency in Children after Continent Urinary Diversion by Mainz Pouch Technique

2010

Purpose MAINZ pouch I urinary diversion provides a high-capacity, low-pressure reservoir. The use of terminal ileum can cause a decrease of vitamin B12 levels. Symptoms caused by vitamin B12 deficiency are rare, but some are irreversible, therefore annual check-ups are recommended. In this study the vitamin B12 levels in the above patients were analyzed in retrospect. Material and Methods The ileocecal segment was used for urinary tract reconstruction in > 80 children ≤17 years of age. B12 levels were determined at various time points within up to 21 years after surgery in 63 patients (8 with ileocecal bladder substitution, 55 continent cutaneous diversion). B12 values below 200pg/ml were c…

Prognostisch relevante Faktoren bei der intraabdominalen infektion

1992

From 1.1.1982-30.9.1989 280 patients were treated for intraabdominal infection at the clinic for general and abdominal surgery. With regard to their prognostic significance, the extent and localization of the peritonitis, abscess formation, the number of failed organ system, patients' age, total protein, thrombocytes and leucocytes were examined in these patients. The most unfavorable prognosis showed diffuse peritonitis with a mortality rate of 47.2%. Subsequent abscessing worsened the prognosis of the illness. There was a close correlation between the number of failed organ systems at the time of hospitalization and mortality. Low total protein content or more so a necessary substitution …

O funkcji substytucji frazemów w reklamie prasowej

2022

Substytucja jest metodą modyfikacji formalnej frazemu, która ze względu na swoje walory komunikacyjne i ekspresywny charakter jest jednym z ulubionych środków językowych w reklamach prasowych.

Patients and methods: COMPliance and Arthralgia in Clinical Therapy (COMPACT) was an open-label, multicenter, noninterventional study conducted in Germany. Patients had started adjuvant anastrozole 3-6 months before the study start. The primary end points were arthralgia, compliance, and the relationship between compliance and arthralgia, assessed at specific time poi…

Costrutti locativi e non locativi con mettere

2013

Sentence (a) Ada mise Pio nel sacco is ambiguous: one of its meanings is literal (Ada put Pio in the sack), whereas the other is figurative (Ada fooled / outsmarted Pio). Such ambiguity is not present in sentence (b) Ada mise Pio in un sacco. On the surface, (b) differs from (a) only insofar as the indefinite article is employed, but conveys a literal meaning exclusively (Ada put Pio in a sack). The ambiguity of sentence (a) is derived from the existence of two constructions employing mettere. The prepositional phrase of one of them displays standard paradigmatic properties and conveys literal (i.e. locative) meaning, whereas the other has no locative value and is highly constrained (e.g. n…
