Changes in a patient with neck pain after application of ischemic compression as a trigger point therapy
2010
Objective To describe the immediate effects of ischemic compression (IC) as a trigger point therapy in a case of a patient with neck pain. The application of IC is a safe and effective method to successfully treat elicited myofascial trigger points. The purpose of this method is to deliberate the blockage of blood in a trigger point area in order to increase local blood flow. This washes away waste products, supplies necessary oxygen and helps the affected tissue to heal. In this case study, we treated a 27-year-old female patient with a medical report of neck pain for at least four months. The physical examination revealed a neck pain and stiffness at the left side and pain increases when …
Incidence, predictors and clinical outcome of pancreatic fistula in patients receiving splenectomy for advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer: a large …
2020
Purpose: To evaluate the incidence, predictors and clinical outcome of pancreatic fistulas in patients receiving splenectomy during cytoreductive surgery for advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer. Methods: Data of women who underwent splenectomy during cytoreduction for advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer from December 2012 to May 2018 were retrospectively retrieved from the oncological databases of five institutions. Surgical, post-operative and follow-up data were analysed. Results: Overall, 260 patients were included in the study. Pancreatic resection was performed in 45 (17.6%) women, 23 of whom received capsule resection alone, while 22 required tail resection. Hyperthermic intraperito…
Jerarquización y preferencia de valores en los estudiantes de secundaria = Hierarchial structuring and preference of values in the students of second…
2014
This article describes a study of the values and variables that influence hierarchical structuring in secondary school students. The main objectives are to determine which are the preferred values and to compare in what manner gender and age are related to the values of adolescents. The study is conducted with a sample (n=114) of male and female secondary school students, between 14 and 18 years old. The results show that the two variables (gender and age) are related to the subject’s values. Girls prefer final values, more abstract and internalized values; opposite to the instrumental, more egocentric and material values, preferred by boys. Regarding age influence, as they grow older, adol…
Extraprostatic Spindle Cell Stromal Tumor of the Prostate: Case Report
2007
Several benign and malignant nonepithelial and stromal-like lesions arise in the prostate. Because such lesions are rare, their recognition is essential, because treatment and prognosis depend on an adequate pathohistologic classification. We report a case of an 83-year-old man with a stromal tumor of the prostate of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP). He presented with urinary retention and rectal constipation. On bimanual examination, a rectally and suprapubically palpable mass was found. Imaging studies revealed a 12 x 8 cm pararectal inhomogeneous mass of uncertain origin compressing rectum and urethra. The tumor was resected by a retropubic approach and examined immunohistochemicall…

Behavioral effects of different enriched environments in mice treated with the cholinergic agonist PNU-282987.
2013
Abstract Environmental enrichment is an experimental model in which rodents are housed in complex environments that favor lower levels of anxiety-like behavior. PNU-282987 (PNU) is a α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist with beneficial effects on learning though its effects on anxiety are unclear. Our main aim was to carry out a study of its effects in NMRI ( n = 96) mice reared in different environments: environmental enrichment (EE), Marlau™ cages (MC) and standard environment (SE). After a 4-month period, mice received acute treatment of PNU (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg) and were evaluated in the elevated plus-maze (EPM) and hole-board (HB). In the EPM, both EE and MC reared mice showed …
Impaired parietal magnitude processing in developmental dyscalculia
2007
Summary Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a specific learning disability affecting the acquisition of school-level mathematical abilities in the context of otherwise normal academic achievement, with prevalence estimates in the order of 3–6% [1] . Behavioural studies show deficits in elementary numerical processing among individuals with pure DD [2,3], indicating that deficits in higher-level mathematical skills may stem from impaired representation and processing of basic numerical magnitude. Adult neuropsychological and neuroimaging research points to the intraparietal sulcus as a key region for the representation and processing of numerical magnitude [4]. This raises the possibility of a…
Researches Regarding the Species Diabrotica Virgifera Virgifera Le Conte in Sibiu County
2010
From the very beginning of the recording of its appearance in Europe as well as in
 our country the published material emphasized the harmful potential of the pest Diabrotica virgifera
 virgifera also drawing the attention to the scientific world and to the farmers as well upon this factor
 of reduction of the production of corn.
 In Sibiu County this species was first recorded in 2001, coming from West, at the border with
 Alba County. The first gatherings were done in Miercurea Sibiului. The investigation was done during
 2001–2009 concerning in: monitoring the adults and the larvae, the identification of the attacked
 plants, the way of harming both for…
Combined target and post-run target strategy for a comprehensive analysis of pesticides in ambient air using liquid chromatography-Orbitrap high reso…
2014
Abstract A comprehensive strategy for the analysis of current airborne pesticides has been developed using liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry. The methodology includes both quantitative target analysis and post-run target screening analysis. The quantitative method was validated after a previous statistical optimisation of the main factors governing the ion source ionization and a study of the single-stage Orbitrap fragmentation through the HCD cell. The quantitative method presented recoveries ranging from 73 to 116%, with precision (RSD) lower than 20%, for the 35 substances in the scope of the target method. The full-scan accurate mass data were acquired w…
Occurrence and risk assessment of mycotoxins, acrylamide, and furan in Latvian beer.
2018
This work reports data on the occurrence of nine mycotoxins and two food processing contaminants - acrylamide and furan - in a total of 100 beers produced in Latvia. Mycotoxins were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, acrylamide by HPLC coupled with quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry, and furan by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The most frequently occurring mycotoxins were HT-2 and deoxynivalenol (DON), which were detected in 52% and 51% of the analysed samples. The highest content was observed for DON, reaching the maximum of 248 µg kg-1. Furan was ubiquitous, and 74% of the samples contained acrylamid…
