La bataille d’Électre dans le théâtre polonais (1946)
2019
La représentation d’Électre à Łódź en 1946 montre la découverte par les réalisateurs polonais de la riche matière de la pièce. Elle reflète de grandes émotions aussi bien que l’enthousiasme des artistes engagés dans la création de la Scène Poétique du Théâtre de l’Armée Polonaise. Elle dévoile aussi des querelles autour de la scène finale qui, d’un côté, ont confirmé la portée de la pièce, de l’autre, ont mis au jour un climat de tension au sein de la société polonaise d’après-guerre.
Crónica de un viaje. Trabajos sobre la arquitectura teatral y la escenificación del teatro del Siglo de Oro
2019
Este artículo describe la trayectoria de un grupo de trabajo dedicado a la investigación del Teatro del Siglo de Oro, especialmente a la arquitectura teatral de los corrales de comedias, a la maquinaria teatral o tramoya de los mismos y la escenificación de los espectáculos. El origen del equipo, trayectorias individuales y singularidad del grupo, ya que no se adscribe a ninguna institución pública. Y que utiliza la documentación filológica, la arquitectura y la reconstrucción virtual como herramientas vinculadas para ofrecer piezas de difusión, análisis y estudio en la materia que nos ocupa This article describes the trajectory of a Work Group dedicated to the investigation of the Golden A…
Laparoscopic lymph node dissection should be performed before fertility preserving treatment of patients with cervical cancer
2012
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess our results of treatment of women with stage I cervical cancer > 2 cm in diameter seeking fertility preservation. Treatment consisted of Laparoscopic Pelvic and Paraaortic Lymphadenectomy (LPPLND), and when no nodal metastasis was detected, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by radical vaginal trachelectomy (RVT). Patients with positive lymph nodes underwent primary chemoradiation. Methods: A cohort of women younger than 40 years of age with stage I disease > 2 cm who underwent LPPLND and either NACT and RVT or chemoradiation. Oncological outcome was evaluated prospectively. Results: Eighteen women were eligible for this study. Twelve (67%…
Robotic versus laparoscopic radical hysterectomy in early cervical cancer: A case matched control study
2018
Abstract Background This study aims at evaluating the feasibility, surgical outcome and oncological results observed after robotic radical hysterectomy (RH) compared to laparoscopy for patients with early stage cervical cancer (ECC) patients. Methods Between January 2010 and October 2016, 210 patients underwent RH for treatment of ECC: 70 underwent robotic approach (Cases), and 140 underwent laparoscopic approach (Controls). Results There was no statistically significant difference between the two approaches with regard to clinical patient characteristics and in terms of extent of RH and rate of pelvic and aortic lymphadenectomy. Operative time was significantly longer in the robotic versus…
Clinical Recommendation Radical Trachelectomy for Fertility Preservation in Patients With Early-Stage Cervical Cancer
2012
Radical trachelectomy (RT) is a fertility-sparing procedure with the aim to provide adequate oncological safety to patients with cervical cancer while preserving their fertility. In the current review, indications, development of the procedure, technical aspects, preoperative and postoperative management, and oncological, fertility, and obstetric outcomes are discussed and studied with respect to whether the procedure is performed abdominally or vaginally. Complications of RT, staging, and more conservative alternatives to RT are discussed as well. A systematic MEDLINE search was performed, which yielded 218 articles, of which 75 were selected for further analysis based on the number of pat…
Perioperative morbidity and rate of upstaging after laparoscopic staging for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer: results of a prospective…
2015
Objective The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging for cervical cancer is based on clinical examination. Previous studies have demonstrated significant upstaging with surgical staging. However, no randomized trial has ever shown a survival benefit when radiation combined with chemoradiation (RCTX) is modified according to surgical staging. The objective of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of surgical staging prior to radical RCTX treatment among patients with locally advanced cervical cancer in the setting of a larger, prospective, randomized study (the Uterus-11 study of the German Gynecologic Oncology Group). Study Design Between 2009 …
Vascular endothelial growth factor gene polymorphisms in ovarian cancer
2007
Abstract Background. Polymorphisms within the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene, the most important regulator of angiogenesis and vascular permeability, were shown to be independently associated with an impaired prognosis in various malignancies. No data have been reported in ovarian cancer. Methods. In the present multi-center study, we examined three common polymorphisms within the VEGF gene ( VEGF +405G/C, VEGF −460C/T, and VEGF +936C/T) in 553 Caucasian patients with ovarian cancer using pyrosequencing. Results. The three investigated polymorphisms did not correlate with any of the investigated clinico-pathological parameters. In univariate and multivariate models, only FIG…
Right Ventricular Dysfunction Staging System for Mortality Risk Stratification in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
2020
Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) parameters are increasingly important features in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We sought to evaluate the prognostic impact of a progressive RVD staging system by combining the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP) ratio with functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) severity. We prospectively included 1355 consecutive HFpEF patients discharged for acute heart failure (HF). Of them, in 471 (34.7%) patients, PASP could not be accurately measured, leaving the final sample size to be 884 patients. Patients were categorized as Stage 1: TAPSE/PASP &ge
Metallothionein overexpression and its prognostic relevance in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and extrahepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin tu…
2009
Metallothionein is a group of small molecular weight cysteine-rich proteins with a broad variety of functions. Metallothionein has been shown to regulate apoptosis and proliferation. Overexpression of metallothionein frequently occurs in human tumors and is related to prognosis as well as therapy response. However, metallothionein expression and its clinical relevance in cholangiocarcinoma have not been investigated. The present study aimed to analyze metallothionein over-expression and its possible prognostic impact in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hilar extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin tumors). We investigated the relationship of immunohistochemically demonstrated metalloth…
Cisplatin plus weekly vinorelbine versus cisplatin plus vinorelbine on days 1 and 8 in advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a prospective randomized …
2008
Summary Purpose A phase III randomized trial was carried out to compare two schedules of the vinorelbine (VNR)–cisplatin (CDDP) regimen in patients with locally advanced unresectable poor prognosis stage IIIB or metastatic stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and analysis of toxicity, while secondary endpoints included response rates, time-to-progression (TTP) and quality of life (QoL). Patients and methods Eligible patients were randomized to receive: (a) VNR 25 mg/m 2 on day 1, 8 and 15 plus CDDP 100 mg/m 2 on day 1 every 4 weeks or (b) VNR 30 mg/m 2 on day 1 and 8 plus CDDP 80 mg/m 2 on day 1 every 3 weeks. All patients were chemotherapy-n…
