Primeros hallazgos del molusco marino invasor Pinctada radiata (Leach, 1840) (Bivalvia: F. Margaritidae) en la costa valenciana (España)
2021
Se dan a conocer por primera vez diversos hallazgos del molusco bivalvo marino lessepsiano Pinctada radiata en la costa valenciana, concretamente en la costa del Golfo de Valencia (España). Esta especie puede causar efectos negativos sobre el ecosistema, afectando a su biodiversidad autóctona. Se proporcionan datos conquiológicos de la concha y el mapa de distribución geográfica actual de esta especie en la costa valenciana y en el mediterráneo occidental. -- First findings of invasive marine mollusc Pinctada radiata (Leach, 1840) (Bivalvia: F. Margaritidae) on the Valencian coast (Spain). Several findings of the marine Lessepsian bivalve mollusc Pinctada radiata are disclosed for the first…
Post-Mortem Investigations for the Diagnosis of Sepsis: A Review of Literature
2020
To date, sepsis is still one of the most important causes of death due to the difficulties concerning the achievement of a correct diagnosis. As well as in a clinical context, also in a medico-legal setting the diagnosis of sepsis can reveal challenging due to the unspecificity of the signs detected during autopsies, especially when no ante-mortem clinical data, laboratory, and cultural results are available. Thus, a systematic review of literature was performed to provide an overview of the main available and updated forensic tools for the post-mortem diagnosis of sepsis. Moreover, the aim of this review was to evaluate whether a marker or a combination of markers exist, specific enough to…
Sepsis, miocardiopatía e infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana: a propósito de un caso
2014
Sepsis in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be associated with the appearance of cardiac dysfunction. This is a challenge, both when making the differential diagnosis and determining the proper treatment, as there are numerous risk factors: Myocarditis due to the HIV itself, the presence or absence of highly active antiretroviral therapy, toxic substances, and cardiomyopathy associated with sepsis. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach to an HIV positive patient with septic shock and cardiac dysfunction is described, as well as a brief review of the different causes of cardiomyopathy which may affect this group of patients is also presented.
Open Radical Nephrectomy: 35 Years of Experience at the “Luciano Giuliani” Urological Department of the University of Genoa
2006
Objective: Radical nephrectomy remains the gold standard for surgically resectable kidney neoplasms > 4 cm and, in selected cases, also in presence of metastatic disease. We reviewed the records of the patients having surgery at the University of Genoa in the last 35 yr. Methods: We have retrospectively assessed all the radical nephrectomies performed between 1970 and 2005. Among tumours of the kidney subjected to surgical treatment during this period, we found 1105 cases of histologically proven renal cell carcinoma (RCC), 965 of which had records available for the study. The number of cases per year, symptoms at diagnosis, surgical strategy, staging of the tumour, and survival were rev…

Pathogenesis of Sepsis Syndrome: Possible Relevance of Pore-Forming Bacterial Toxins
1996
This review focuses on a group of bacterial products whose very existence is known to only a minority of clinicians, and whose potential significance as inducers of the sepsis syndrome has eluded the attention of most microbiologists. This is unfortunate because pore-forming bacterial toxins possess all the properties for contributing to the pathogenesis of local and systemic inflammatory reactions. Because pore formers generally are highly immunogenic proteins, the prospects for immune intervention are described that may eventually be of benefit to patients. The subject is therefore of interest not only from a theoretical but also from a practical point of view.
Metabolomics in the diagnosis of sepsis
2014
IntroductionSepsis is an important cause of mortality and morbidityfor preterm and hospitalized newborn babies. Today, nosingle test satisfies the criteria as being the ideal markerfor the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Analysis of theentire metabolome is a promising method for determin-ing metabolic variations correlated with sepsis [1-6].Metabolomics profiling and sepsisWorks on metabolomics concerning sepsis conductedon animals and humans of different ages (newborn andadults) have recently been published and are presentedin Table 1. In septic patients compared to controls (inplasma and urine) it is possible to observe an increaseof metabolites which are part of the oxidative metabo-…
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease: case report of a newborn with rare PKHD1 mutation, rapid renal enlargement and early fatal outcome
2020
Abstract Introduction Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD; MIM#263200) is one of the most frequent pediatric renal cystic diseases, with an incidence of 1:20,000. It is caused by mutations of the PKHD1 gene, on chromosome 6p12. The clinical spectrum is highly variable, ranging from late-onset milder forms to severe perinatal manifestations. The management of newborns with severe pulmonary insufficiency is challenging, and causes of early death are sepsis or respiratory failure. In cases of massive renal enlargement, early bilateral nephrectomy and peritoneal dialysis may reduce infant mortality. However, there is no conclusive data on the role of surgery, and decision-makin…
Der Stellenwert der Sepsis nach Laparotomie im Kindesalter
1984
Laparotomy was performed on 579 children at the University Clinic of Paediatric Surgery in Mainz from 1.1.1975 to 31.12.1982. The children were up to 15 years of age; appendicitis or inguinal and umbilical hernia cases were not included. Postoperative sepsis occurred in 74 patients (12.8% of all children with laparotomy); in 51 cases positive bacteriological findings were seen besides the clinical and clinicochemical ones. Sepsis morbidity was particularly high in children who had not yet completed their first year of life (postoperative sepsis occurring in approximately every fourth infant); among the disease patterns, the following were particularly prominent: Defects of the abdominal wal…
