Orphan symptoms in advanced cancer patients followed at home

2013

Abstract Orphan symptoms are rarely assessed, particularly at home. The aim of this multicenter prospective study was to assess the prevalence of these symptoms and eventual factors possibly associated in advanced cancer patients at admission of a home care program. A prospective study was performed at three home care programs in Italy. Patients' data were collected, including age, sex, diagnosis, and Karnofsky status. Possible contributing factors were analyzed; preexisting neurological diseases, cerebral metastases, hyperthermia, diabetes, a state of dehydration clinically evident and/or oliguria, possible biochemical parameters when available, data regarding recent chemotherapy, opioids …

On cosmetically treated hair — aspects and pitfalls of interpretation

1997

Popular hair cosmetic treatments like bleaching or permanent waving were found to affect the stability of incorporated drugs and to cause alterations of the fibers at an ultrastructural level. This may result in a partial or complete loss of drug substances, depending on the particular drug molecule and on its concentration prior to the cosmetic treatment. Moreover, from literature, there is some evidence that drug molecules are not only incorporated into the growing fiber by passive diffusion from blood into the matrix cells and melanocytes, but that the substances enter the hair also via perspiration such as sweat and sebum. Since permed and bleached hair shows an enhanced sorption capaci…

Clear Cell Syringoid Carcinoma

2000

Syringoid carcinoma (syringoid "eccrine" carcinoma or eccrine epithelioma) is a rare cutaneous tumor with some controversy regarding its correct definition. It may also be difficult to differentiate from its benign counterpart (syringoma), other adnexal carcinomas, and cutaneous metastasis from adenocarcinomas. We present a case of a syringoid carcinoma of the clear cell variant complemented with an immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study, the latter revealing cytoplasmic accumulation of glycogen and presence of intercellular and intracellular lumina in clear tumor cells, as well as diverse hallmarks of malignancy (i.e., perineural invasion, tumor necrosis, and deep invasion). Clear t…

Extramammary Paget Disease of the Axilla Associated With Comedo-like Apocrine Carcinoma In Situ.

2002

Extramammary Paget disease of the axilla with underlying apocrine carcinoma has been reported only in six cases until now. This report deals with a seventh case characterized by the unique finding of comedo-like features evocative of large cell ductal breast carcinoma within an otherwise typical in situ apocrine carcinoma. This is characterized by spiral-shaped foci of epithelial proliferation with decapitation secretion and central masses of necrotic debris. A possible connection between the solid neoplasm and the overlying Paget disease is illustrated by a few apocrine-follicular units colonized by both the Paget cells and the structured adenocarcinoma. Here, although they display the sam…

PO-0359 How To Select The Sweat Test Candidate. 10 Years Of Experience In Screening For Cystic Fibrosis In Children

2014

Background Sweat test (ST) remains gold standard in cystic fibrosis (CF) diagnosis. Alarm symptoms are age-related. Aims Retrospective review of cases subjected to ST. Methods Patients were selected by paediatricians, neonatologists, surgeons, based on suggestive symptoms, personal (PH) and familial history (FH). Inclusion criteria: for 0–1 month age group, patients with PH of atelectasis, meconium ileus, intussusception; 1–12 months, recurrent wheezing (RW), failure to thrive (FTT); 1–5 years, previous group symptoms, plus chronic cough/diarrhoea; >5 years, 1–5 years symptoms, plus recurrent pancreatitis/sinusitis. For all age, patients with PH of salty taste of sweat (STS), salt wasting s…

Sweatshop - rzeczywistość XXI wieku?

2008

W polskojęzycznej literaturze przedmiotu z zakresu nauk o organizacji i zarządzaniu nie porusza się problematyki dotyczącej sweatshopów. Dzieje się tak mimo rosnącej liczby tego typu organizacji, a więc systemów społeczno-technicznych, w których łamane są międzynarodowe standardy pracy, prawa człowieka i naruszana jest jego godność. W artykule podjęto kilka kluczowych kwestii dotyczących sweatshopów. Po pierwsze, omówiono właściwości tego typu organizacji. Po drugie, krótko scharakteryzowano międzynarodowy ruch walczący ze sweatshopami. Po trzecie, zaprezentowano sposoby ograniczania działalności tych przedsiębiorstw. Po czwarte, podjęto refleksję nad przyczynami obecności swaeatshopów w XX…

Detection of exercise adaptations by different specimens analysis

2015

This literature review is a compilation of the most used methods to monitoring athletes in training and competition. Blood is certainly the best known and proven methodology and a wide range of markers can be analyzed through it, but it can be difficult to obtain, especially among athletes or people who are afraid of needles. The use of saliva is an interesting alternative especially for the easy and less invasive method of collecting. The saliva infact contains a few of compounds diffused in the plasma, like water, electrolytes, proteins, metabolites and hormones. However, new methods yet poorly understood are slowly catching on; sweat for example, may carry far more information, may provi…

Morphological description of hypothetical cellulite starting unit. The first step to explain cellulite development

2017

Introduction: Cellulite is a complex pathology that affects about 85% of women. The origin of cellulite is poorly understood, even if some studies describe different hypotheses based on the observation of subcutaneous architecture, vascular and lymphatic patterns. Material and methods: in this work an ultra-structural description of cellulite specimens, harvested from fifteen healthy women affected by first degree cellulite, was provided. Specimens were harvested from trochanter, after local anaesthesia using punch biopsy. Samples were fixated, immediately after biopsy, in glutaraldehyde 2% and processed for electron microscopy. Results: with scanning and transmission electron microscopy it…
