ORBITAL PSEUDOTUMOR CAN MIMIC GRAVES’ OPHTHALMOPATHY
2016
CONTEXT: Orbital pseudotumor (OP) is a benign inflammatory process of the orbit with a large polymorphous lymphoid infiltrate, associated with fibrosis in variable amounts, localized or diffuse. Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) is the most common cause of proptosis, unilateral or bilateral. CASE REPORT: We report a patient with unilateral proptosis who was initially treated with antithyroid drugs for an euthyroid Graves disease, but the extension of the investigation infirmed this. The MRI findings (inflammation of fat, muscle and the left lacrimal gland) in conjunction with the biopsy infirmed the initial diagnostic and confirmed the OP. CONCLUSIONS: Orbital pseudotumor is a rare disorder that …
Histology and Fine Structure of the Iris and Outflow System Following Latanoprost Therapy
2002
Latanoprost therapy can lead to iris darkening in susceptible individuals, particularly those with hazel eyes. Concerns have been raised about whether latanoprost, and for that matter other prostanoids, may have a harmful effect on the iris. In addition, it is unknown whether latanoprost causes increased pigmentation of the outflow pathways that might eventually lead to blockage and a type of pigmentary glaucoma. The present study summarizes findings from the authors' own laboratories on the effects of latanoprost as seen by light and electron microscopy of the iris and outflow tissues and reviews the as yet limited, relevant literature. The findings support the proposal that latanoprost-in…
Bleb grading by photographs versus bleb grading by slit‐lamp examination
2019
Purpose Using a bleb-grading system clinically facilitates long-term follow-up of patients with previous glaucoma surgery. Clinical evaluation of these patients can be challenging for untrained ophthalmologists. Morphological bleb configuration might influence planning of follow-up visits in glaucoma patients due to different and individual prognosis after trabeculectomy. In this study, we compared the MaBAGS (Mainz Bleb Appearance Grading System), a classification system for filtering blebs with other classification systems (MBGS/Moorfields Bleb Grading System, IBAGS/Indiana Bleb Appearance Grading Scale) in reference to usability and reliability and compare it to grading by bleb photograp…
Frailty and risk of complications in head and neck oncologic surgery. Systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis
2021
Background There is emerging evidence that frail individuals present a decreased physiological reserve, decreased ability to maintain homeostasis, and increased vulnerability to stressors. The concept of frailty has become increasingly recognized as a valuable measure in oncological surgical patients, including those with head and neck cancer. Preoperative screening for frailty may provide an individualized risk assessment that can be used by an interdisciplinary team for preoperative counseling and to improve outcomes. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the relationship between frailty and the risk of major postoperative complications in frail individuals submitted to head and n…
ICD Implantation in Noncompaction of the Left Ventricular Myocardium: A Case Report
2009
Isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium (INVM) is an uncommon cardiomyopathy characterized by the persistence of fetal myocardium with prominent trabecular meshwork and deep intertrabecular recesses, often associated with systolic dysfunction and ventricular dilatation. A 23-year-old man from Burkina Faso was referred to our operative unit with a diagnosis of INVM, made with echocardiogram and magnetic resonance imaging and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. The literature reports the incidence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias in as many as 47% of the patients and sudden cardiac death in almost 50% of them and this supported our decision to perform implantable cardiovert…
Les Agències de Col·locació dins del model vigent d'intermediació Laboral. Una aproximació al paper que desenvolupen a les zones rurals: el cas de la…
2014
Des de principis dels anys setanta, i de forma cíclica i fluctuant, l'atur s'ha erigit com el principal problema socioeconòmic a l'Estat espanyol. La virulència de la recessió i crisi econòmica iniciada a finals del 2007 ha obert un periode de forta destrucció d'ocupació i de nombrosos tancaments d'empreses, generant grans impactes en la vida de les persones i en el funcionament de l'economia i la societat. La magnitud d'aquesta problemàtica ha sobrepassat amb escreix la capacitat de resposta dels governs i dels serveis públics i privats d'ocupació. A més, el mercat de treball, per ell mateix, ha demostrat no ser suficientment eficaç a l'hora d'aconseguir uns majors nivells d'ocupació, i co…
Efectos del Binge Drinking sobre variables fisiológicas y cognitivas (memoria visual inmediata y memoria de trabajo) en adolescentes.
2016
El etanol es la droga dura legal más consumida en España. El uso y abuso de esta sustancia ocasiona múltiples consecuencias sociales y sanitarias por lo que se trata de uno de los problemas de salud pública más importantes tanto a nivel nacional como a nivel mundial. En muchos países, entre los que se encuentra España, el porcentaje de adolescentes que consumen alcohol es alarmante, con prevalencia de un nuevo patrón de consumo de alcohol al que coloquialmente se ha denominado “botellón” o Binge Drinking (BD) en inglés. Este patrón de consumo intensivo o en “atracón” de alcohol se caracteriza por la ingesta de grandes cantidades de alcohol de alta graduación en cortos espacios de tiempo (po…

Kontrabandas tiesiskais regulējums un tā vēsturiskā attīstība Latvijā
2016
Maģistra darba temats ir “Kontrabandas tiesiskais regulējums un tā vēsturiskā attīstība Latvijā”. Kontrabanda ir viens retajiem noziedzīgajiem nodarījumiem, kura izdarīšanu ne tikai nenosoda, bet pat atbalsta salīdzinoši liela daļa Latvijas valsts iedzīvotāju, jo kontrabandas ceļā ievestās preces cilvēki var iegādāties par daudz zemāku cenu. Ņemot vērā Latvijas valsts ģeogrāfisko atrašanās vietu, tā vienmēr būs viena no valstīm, kurā liela daļa preču tiks ievestas kontrabandas ceļā, kas nozīmē to, ka kontrabandas izdarīšana Latvijā vienmēr būs aktuāla. Maģistra darba mērķis - analizēt Krimināllikumā ietverto kontrabandas regulējumu, padziļinātu uzmanību pievēršot vērtējuma jēdzieniem, kas i…
