Second European Multi-Disciplinary Conference of National Strategies for Chlamydia Trachomatis and Human Papillomavirus (NSCP Conference) in Berlin, …
2013
There is a need for updated guidance on detection, management and surveillance of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis reporting needs to be mandatory in more European countries to aid collection of data. More widespread Chlamydia screening is needed in many countries as this is the only way to reduce complications. The role of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) screening in a situation where the prevalence of HPV infection has dropped significantly was also discussed in the context of the high cost of screening, the need for a relatively complex infrastructure, particularly in developing countries, and falling vaccination costs. An integrated HPV vaccination …
Variations of plas14a benin activity and aldostehone levels in the rat after administration of saline, chrystalloid and colloid solutions
1976
Abstract The data reported in the present paper refer to quantitative variations of plasma renin activity (PRA.) and of plasma aldosterone levels in rats after adiministration of saline, chrystalloid and colloid solutions. In our experimental conditions PRA and plasma aldosterone levels were shown to increase significantly after administration of distilled water and glucose solution. Variations of PRA and plasma aldosterone levels were only slight when plasma volume was made to increase due to administration of polyvinylpirrolidone solution. PRA, instead, was significantly lower in rats having received saline salution.
Modic changes-Their associations with low back pain and activity limitation: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
2018
Background Previous systematic reviews have reported positive associations between Modic changes (MCs) and low back pain (LBP), but due to their narrow scope and new primary studies, there is a need for a comprehensive systematic review. Our objectives were to investigate if MCs are associated with non-specific LBP and/or activity limitation and if such associations are modified by other factors. Methods A protocol for this review was registered at PROSPERO prior to commencing the work (PROSPERO record: CRD42015017350). The MEDLINE, CINAHL and EMBASE databases were searched for relevant studies from first record to June 15th 2016. Prospective or retrospective cross-sectional cohort studies …
Effects of the prolonged thoracic epidural analgesia on ventilation function and complication rate after the lung cancer surgery.
2006
Thoracic epidural analgesia has been considered to have a good anesthetic efficacy and to decrease the postoperative complication rate, while its effect upon the ventilation function is still the topic of many clinical studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the course of early postoperative period using thoracic epidural analgesia. Material and methods. A total of 453 patients undergoing the operation due to the non–small cell carcinoma were selected and examined. Their postoperative complications and mortality rate were evaluated. In 79 patients, arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in the first second, and the efficacy of analgesia wer…
pH-responsive physically and chemically cross-linked glutamic-acid-based hydrogels and nanogels
2018
Abstract Given the great demand for polymers prepared from renewable materials, the synthesis of a glutamic-acid-based hydrogel by solution and inverse miniemulsion polymerization is herein presented. Free radical initiated homopolymerizations of N-acryloyl- l -glutamic acid (l- AGA) resulted in either a readily water-soluble polymer or a physically cross-linked hydrogel, being the formation of physical cross-linking junctions closely related to monomer concentration and mixture viscosity. Chemically cross-linked poly( l -AGA-co-BIS) hydrogels were also synthesized by copolymerization of l -AGA and N,N′-methylenebis(acrylamide) (BIS). Both poly (l- AGA) and poly( l -AGA-co-BIS) swelling beh…
Protective ventilation with high versus low positive end-expiratory pressure during one-lung ventilation for thoracic surgery (PROTHOR): study protoc…
2018
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) may result in longer duration of in-hospital stay and even mortality. Both thoracic surgery and intraoperative mechanical ventilation settings add considerably to the risk of PPC. It is unclear if one-lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracic surgery with a strategy of intraoperative high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and recruitment maneuvers (RM) reduces PPC, compared to low PEEP without RM.PROTHOR is an international, multicenter, randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded, two-arm trial initiated by investigators of the PROtective VEntilation NETwork. In total, 2378 patients will be randomly assigned to one of two different intraoperative me…
Management and Outcome of Mucosal Injury During Pyloromyotomy--An Analytical Survey Study.
2015
Different approaches of dealing with mucosal injury during pyloromyotomy for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis have been described. There is, however, no consensus on the best technique to use. We conducted a survey among International Pediatric Endosurgery Group (IPEG) members on their experience of mucosal injuries during pyloromyotomy, the way in which these were handled, any modification in subsequent postoperative care, and impact on outcome.A confidential survey was sent to IPEG members querying demographic data, number of pyloromyotomies performed, operative approach, incidence of mucosal injury, intraoperative management, and postoperative consequences. Statistical analysis was performe…
Asthma in pregnancy: One more piece of the puzzle
2016
Asthma is the most commonly occurring respiratory complication during pregnancy, and is associated with a wide range of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. However, there is strong evidence that an adequate control of asthma can improve the health of both mothers and their babies. Despite the well-known risks of poorly-controlled asthma during pregnancy, a large proportion of women have sub-optimal asthma control, due to concerns surrounding risks related to pharmacological agents and uncertainties regarding the effectiveness and safety of different management strategies. A recent retrospective study showed that step-up therapy with low-dose inhaled corticosteroids / long-acting β2-ago…
Possible Role of the Posterior Compartment Peritonectomy, as a Part of the Complex Surgery, Regarding Recurrence Rate, Improvement of Symptoms and Fe…
2020
ABSTRACT Study Objective Beside the pain, there are 2 further problems in the management of endometriosis: the high recurrence rate (10% per year) and the high rate of impaired fertility. The objective of this study was to investigate the pathogenesis of these 2 factors. Design This is a retrospective cohort study, and the aim is to evaluate the complete excision of endometriotic lesions, including the posterior compartment of the peritoneum, with regard to postoperative outcome, focusing on relieving pain, increasing fertility rate, and decreasing recurrence rate. Setting Charite-University Clinic, Department of Gynaecology, Endometriosis research Centre. Patients Fifty-four patients were …
Status epilepticus in der Spätschwangerschaft - Eklampsie oder Subarachnoidalblutung?
1997
After a largely inconspicuous pregnancy, a 31-year old primipara suffered from a status epilepticus in the third trimenon. The convulsions could not be terminated by emergency medical services, resulting in aspiration of gastric contents. Assuming eclampsia, an emergency caesarean section was performed immediately in a central hospital. Postoperatively, a pathological pattern of tendon reflexes was noticed. A CT scan revealed subarachnoid haemorrhage. The causal aneurysm of the right A. pericallosa was clipped subsequently. Eclampsia is the leading cause of epileptic seizures during pregnancy. However, a different aetiology should always be considered, especially if medical history does not…
