Efficacy and safety of Cyprofloxacin XR 1000mg once daily versus Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infect…
2009
The aim of this trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of extended-release ciprofloxacin (CIPRO XR) versus the immediate-release formulation (CIPRO IR) in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs). 212 patients were randomized to CIPRO XR 1,000 mg tablet once daily or CIPROXIN IR 500 mg tablet twice daily. Treatment efficacy was evaluated by bacteriological outcome. Safety was measured by recording adverse events. The rate of bacteriological eradication was 83% in the CIPRO XR group and 75% in the CIPRO IR. the overall incidence of adverse events reported was higher in the CIPRO IR group. The authors conclude that CIPRO XR is a safe and effective treatment for compl…

TERAPIA ORALE DOMICILIARE PER IL PAZIENTE CON CARCINOMA PROSTATICO ORMONOREFRATTARIO V. Altieri, V. Serretta, D. Melloni, R. Allegro, G. Morgia, M. Madonia, M. Ferro, A. Siragusa, G. De Grande, L. Orestano, M. Napoli, E. Membri Fondazione GSTU (Napoli) SCOPO DEL LAVORO: Per preservare la qualità di vita del paziente affetto da carcinoma prostatico ormonorefrattario (HRPC) si rendono necessari regimi terapeutici che possano essere eseguiti a domicilio senza frequenti ricoveri ospedalieri, seppur in regime di dayhospital. I vantaggi in termini di sopravvivenza offerti da schemi chemioterapici a base di taxani, pur presenti, sono ad oggi limitati. Scopo del presente studio di fase II è stato q…
Carcinoma del rene
2009
La chirurgia renale conservativa ha trovato sempre maggiore applicazione nella pratica clinica per tumori di dimensioni < 4 cm di diametro, consentendo livelli di sopravvivenza libera da recidiva e a lungo termine simili a quelli osservati con la nefrectomia radicale. Di contro, esistono alcune evidenze di maggior rischio di insufficienza renale cronica e di malattia cardiovascolare in seguito a nefrectomia radicale; pertanto le recenti raccomandazioni dell’Associazione degli Urologi Americani sconsigliano questa procedura nella maggior parte dei piccoli tumori renali.
Interictal Heart Rate Variability Analysis Reveals Lateralization of Cardiac Autonomic Control in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.
2020
International audience; Purpose: The temporal lobe, a critical hub for cognition, also plays a central role in the regulation of autonomic cardiovascular functions. Lesions in this area are usually associated with abnormalities in the regulation of heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP). The analysis of the heart rate variability (HRV) is useful to evaluate the cardiac parasympathetic nervous system activity. This study aims at comparing HRV changes occurring in two groups of patients suffering from Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE). To that aim, we evaluated patients differentiated by the right or left location of the epileptic foci. Materials and Methods: Fifty-two adult patients with a diagn…
General anaesthesia versus local anaesthesia for carotidsurgery (GALA): a multicentre, randomised controlled trial.
2008
Background The eff ect of carotid endarterectomy in lowering the risk of stroke ipsilateral to severe atherosclerotic carotid-artery stenosis is off set by complications during or soon after surgery. We compared surgery under general anaesthesia with that under local anaesthesia because prediction and avoidance of perioperative strokes might be easier under local anaesthesia than under general anaesthesia. Methods We undertook a parallel group, multicentre, randomised controlled trial of 3526 patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid stenosis from 95 centres in 24 countries. Participants were randomly assigned to surgery under general (n=1753) or local (n=1773) anaesthesia between J…

Mortality in multiple sclerosis: a review.
2008
This work was undertaken to evaluate studies on mortality caused by multiple sclerosis (MS), to evaluate if useful inferences can be drawn from survival studies that can be applied to clinical practice. A literature search was carried out to find epidemiological studies on MS prognosis, survival, mortality and causes of death relevant to our aim. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports on worldwide cause-specific mortality were also considered. Studies were evaluated according to the duration of the follow-up study, the year of publication and the methodology used. We evaluated MS survival from a methodological point of view and considered if time trends could be drawn from study result…
