La literatura médica sobre epilepsia, siglos XVI-XIX: análisis bibliométrico
1976
El objeto del presente trabajo de investigación es el análisis estadístico y sociométrico de las publicaciones sobre epilepsia aparecidas entre los siglos XVI a XIX e indizadas en el Index Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General’s Office. Dos factores han pesado de forma esencial, en la elección del tema: en primer lugar, y tras un vistazo previo a la fuente, la posibilidad de confeccionar un repertorio lo suficientemente abundante para poder realizar el análisis sociométrico. En segundo lugar, la existencia de una monografía sobre la historia de esta enfermedad, clásica en su género. Nos referimos concretamente a la obra de Owsei Temkin The Falling Sickness (Baltimore-London, 2ª ed…

Epstein-Barr virus infection as a trigger of autoimmune hepatitis: Case report
2008
Abstract: The study underlines the importance of the differential diagnosis between primary Epstein- Barr virus EBV associated hepatitis with features of autoimmunity, in which there is a direct pathogenetic role of the virus, and EBV related autoimmune hepatitis, in which EBV could act as the trigger of the immune-mediated damage with probable differences between the two conditions with regard to the prognosis and the responsiveness to immunosuppressive treatment. Moreover we hypothesise that the favourable outcome in our patient, better than the most of autoimmune hepatitis cases, may be related either to the moderate necroinflammatory activity and to the low level of fibrosis at the begi…
The 10‐year treatment outcome of open dialogue‐based psychiatric services for adolescents: A nationwide longitudinal register‐based study
2022
Aim: To evaluate the 10-year treatment outcomes and cost-effectiveness of adolescents' mental health treatment initiated under the social network-oriented open dialogue (OD) approach. -- Methods: This longitudinal register-based study included all persons who, for the first time, received psychiatric treatment in Finland during the period 1 January 2003–31 December 2008, and who were aged 13–20 at onset (n = 44 868). The OD group included all persons whose treatment commenced in the Western Lapland catchment area (n = 780), this being the only region in Finland where OD covered the entire mental healthcare service at the time of inclusion. The comparison group (CG) included the rest of Finl…
Über die mikrobiologische Umwandlung N-haltiger Substrate. 4. Mitt.: Über die mikrobiologische Umwandlung von 5-Hydroxyindol durch Claviceps purpurea…
1968
Aus 5-Hydroxyindol wird durch den Claviceps purpurea-Stamm 47 A 5-Hydroxytryptophan und ω-N-Acetyl-5-hydroxy-tryptophan, durch Cordyceps militaris ω-N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptophan und ω-N-Acetyl-serotonin, durch Aspergillus oryzae nur ω-N-Acetyl-serotonin in der Schuttelkultur gebildet. 5-Hydroxyindole, added to submerged cultures, is converted into 5-hydroxytryptophan and ω-N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptophan by Claviceps purpurea strain 47 A; into ω-N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptophan and ω-N-acetyl-serotonin by Cordiceps militaris; and only into-ω-N-acetyl-serotonin by Aspergillus oryzae.
Circulating Histones and Nucleosomes as Biomarkers in Sepsis and Septic Shock
2016
Sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock are among the leading causes of death worldwide and their incidence is constantly increasing. Despite early intervention in intensive care units (ICUs) mortality remains high. There is great interest in understanding the genetics and epigenetics of the host in response to infection because of two reasons: the peculiarities of each patient, and the unclear associations identified between genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility to sepsis. In addition, chromatin remodeling and epigenetic changes occur in crucial genes involved in the inflammatory response and also in the immunosuppression found in sepsis. The early and accurate diagnosis of sepsis is a …
Non-Coding RNA Networks as Potential Novel Biomarker and Therapeutic Target for Sepsis and Sepsis-Related Multi-Organ Failure.
2022
According to “Sepsis-3” consensus, sepsis is a life-threatening clinical syndrome caused by a dysregulated inflammatory host response to infection. A rapid identification of sepsis is mandatory, as the extent of the organ damage triggered by both the pathogen itself and the host’s immune response could abruptly evolve to multiple organ failure and ultimately lead to the death of the patient. The most commonly used therapeutic strategy is to provide hemodynamic and global support to the patient and to rapidly initiate broad-spectrum empiric antibiotic therapy. To date, there is no gold standard diagnostic test that can ascertain the diagnosis of sepsis. Therefore, once sepsis is suspected, t…
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy
2012
Summary Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is defined as a diffuse or multifocal cerebral dysfunction induced by the systemic response to the infection without clinical or laboratory evidence of direct brain infection. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial. SAE generally occurs early during severe sepsis and precedes multiple-organ failure. The most common clinical feature of SAE is the consciousness alteration which ranges from mildly reduced awareness to unresponsiveness and coma. Diagnosis of SAE is primarily clinical and depends on the exclusion of other possible causes of brain deterioration. Electroencephalography (EEG) is almost sensitive, but it is not specific for SAE. Computed To…
Hyperspectral evaluation of skin blood oxygen saturation at baseline and during arterial occlusion
2018
Skin capillary blood oxygen saturation is a clinically important diagnostic parameter, which provides valuable information for timely treatment of pathological conditions e.g. sepsis, hypoxemia or decompression illness. Hyperspectral imaging is non-invasive optical techniques with high clinical potential, however its use for skin blood oxygen saturation detection is still challenging, therefore in the present study, a method for in-vivo manipulation of skin oxygen saturation was developed, and reliability of the method evaluated by means of hyperspectral imaging in detection of oxygen saturation. In order to produce alterations of skin capillary blood parameters and oxygen saturation, the p…
RECRUITMENT OF BICEPS FEMORIS MUSCLE REGIONS AT DIFFERENT RUNNING SPEEDS
2017
Background The majority of hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) occur in the late swing phase of high-speed running when hamstrings work eccentrically. The proximal region of the biceps femoris (BF) seems to be the most common site of injury. Elongation of the fascicles in eccentric contractions is higher in the proximal region compared to the distal region of BF, but the neural background to this phenomenon is not clear. Objective To examine the region-specificity of BF muscle activity at different running speeds. Design Observational study. Running speeds were randomized. Setting Laboratory, amateur level. Participants Football players without acute injury/illness, and without HSI history wer…
