Pęknięty tętniak aorty zstępującej - duże wyzwanie dla niedużego ośrodka chirurgii naczyniowej
2018
Pacjentka, lat 76, została skierowana do Uniwersyteckiego Szpitala Klinicznego w Opolu z powodu podejrzenia rozwarstwienia aorty wstępującej i tamponady osierdzia. Przy przyjęciu chora w stanie ogólnym skrajnie ciężkim, z objawami głębokiego wstrząsu, niestabilna hemodynamicznie oraz wentylowana mechanicznie. W wykonanym doraźnie badaniu angio-TK stwierdzono rozwarstwienie aorty zstępującej z pękniętym tętniakiem w jej środkowym i dolnym odcinku oraz duży krwiak lewej jamy opłucnowej. Ze względu na znaczną szerokość aorty zstępującej, nawet w jej początkowym odcinku oraz aorty brzusznej powyżej pnia trzewnego do zaopatrzenia tętniaka potrzebne są dwa elementy stentgraftów o średnicy 46 mm. …
Taxa a rischio nella flora vascolare della Sicilia

Biogeographia vol. XgO( - 2011 (Pubblicato il 23 dicembre 2011) La Biogeografia de/Ia Sicilia Taxa a rischio nella flora vascolare della Sicilia FRANCESCO MARIA RAIMONDO, GIUSEPPE BAZAN, ANGELO TROIA Dzjzartimento di Biologia Ambientale e Biodiversitd, Universird di Palermo via Arc/aimfi 38, 90123 Palermo (Italy) Key words: threatened species, vascular flora, red list, Sicily. SUMMARY An analysis was made to update the regional red list of endangered vascular plants in Sicily which, with 3,252 taxa (including a noteworthy number of endemic species), is one of the richest areas in the Mediterranean region. Considering previous regional and national red lists, recent taxonomic and floristic lite…
Thrombolysis Followed by Apixaban for Massive Pulmonary Embolism and Free-floating Thrombus in Right Ventricle in a Patient with Breast Cancer
2018
Free-floating thrombus in the right ventricle, associated with a massive acute pulmonary embolism (PE), is a rare phenomenon. PE is an important clinical entity with considerable mortality despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. The prognosis of PE depends on right ventricular dysfunction, myocardial injury markers, and early treatment. In this report, we present the case of a 71-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer admitted to intensive care unit for PE complicated by syncope. Although our case may seem complex because it is not represented in the guidelines, the result was satisfactory and showed how treatment with new anticoagulants (in this case apixaban) after massive th…
Extramedullary hematopoiesis within endothelial papillary hyperplasia (Masson?s pseudoangiosarcoma) of the tongue
2007
We report the unique association of Masson?s pseudoangiosarcoma (endothelial papillary hyperplasia) and extramedullary hematopoiesis. The lesion was present as a violaceous nodule on the side of the tongue of a 78-year-old man with history of multiple myeloma and long-standing mild anemia. This association between a peculiar form of thrombus organization and extramedullary hematopoiesis has been reported previously only once, in an infant with a cranial hematoma, and raises interesting pathogenetic questions.
Efectos del Sorafenib, un inhibidor tirosina quinasa, en el control del tono vascular.
2018
El carcinoma hepatocelular o hepatocarcinoma (HCC) es uno de los tumores sólidos vasculares más conocidos, representa uno de los mayores problemas de salud en todo el mundo, siendo una de las enfermedades más comunes del hígado (70-85%) y una de las mayores causas de mortalidad relacionadas con el cáncer, siendo la tercera causa más común de muerte por cáncer Varias rutas carcinogénicas se han identificado en el desarrollo y progresión del HCC, proporcionando nuevas dianas moleculares para el tratamiento del HCC. Algunos fármacos que afectan a estas rutas incluyen, entre otros, el receptor del factor de crecimiento endotelial vascular (VEGFR). El sorafenib es un fármaco sistémico aprobado p…
Sex differences in food choices, adherence to dietary recommendations and plasma lipid profile in type 2 diabetes
2016
Background and aims Diabetic women have a more adverse plasma lipid profile than men. Sex differences in dietary habits may play a role, but are little investigated. The study evaluates the quality of diet, adherence to the nutritional recommendations of the Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group and their relation with plasma lipid in men and women with diabetes. Methods and results We studied 2573 people, aged 50–75, enrolled in the TOSCA.IT study (clinicaltrials.gov; NCT00700856). Plasma lipids were measured centrally. Diet was assessed with a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Women had a more adverse plasma lipid profile than men. Women consumed significantly more legumes, veg…
Diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases by means of texture analysis in magnetic resonance imaging
2017
Cardiovascular diseases constitute the leading global cause of morbidity and mortality. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the gold standard technique for the assessment of patients with myocardial infarction. However, limitations still exist thus new alternatives are open to investigation. Texture analysis is a technique that aims to quantify the texture of the images that are not always perceptible by the human eye. It has been successfully applied in medical imaging but applications to cardiac MRI (CMR) are still scarce. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to apply texture analysis in conventional CMR images for the assessment of patients with myocardial infarction, as an …
Active commuting to school among 36,781 Spanish children and adolescents: A temporal trend study.
2021
This study examines trends in the rates of active commuting to school (ACS) in Spanish children (n = 18 343; 8.93 ± 1.68) and adolescents (n = 18 438; 14.11 ± 1.58) aged 6‐18 years from 2010 to 2017. Given the study period included the economic crisis in Spain (2008‐2013), the second aim of this study was to compare ACS rates during and after the economic crisis. Data were obtained from 28 studies conducted across Spain. The overall trends in ACS were evaluated using multilevel logistic regression analysis. Among Spanish children and adolescents, the rates of ACS to school ranged around 60% between 2010 and 2017. The rates of ACS in Spanish youth did not change significantly during the 2010…
Psoriasis and Its Impact on In-Hospital Outcome in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Kidney Injury
2020
Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease which affects the body far beyond the skin. Whereas there is solid evidence that chronic skin inflammation in psoriasis drives cardiovascular disease, the impact on renal impairment and acute kidney injury (AKI) is still unclear. We aimed to analyze the impact of psoriasis on the in-hospital outcome of patients hospitalized with AKI. Methods: In this retrospective database study, we investigated data on characteristics, comorbidities, and in-hospital outcomes for all hospitalized patients with AKI stratified for concomitant psoriasis, which were collected by the Federal Office of Statistics in Germany between 2005 and 2016. Results: Am…
Do childhood infections affect labour market outcomes in adulthood and, if so, how?
2020
A burgeoning body of literature suggests that poor childhood health leads to adverse health outcomes. lower educational attainment and weaker labour market outcomes in adulthood. We focus on an important but under-researched topic, which is the role played by infection-related hospitalization (IRH) in childhood and its links to labour market outcomes later in life. The participants aged 24-30 years in 2001 N =1706 were drawn from the Young Finns Study, which includes comprehensive registry data on IRHs in childhood at ages 0-18 years. These data are linked to longitudinal registry information on labour market outcomes (2001-2012) and parental background (1980). The estimations were performe…
