Valutazione delle lesioni focali del tendine del sovraspinato con elastosonografia: confronto con ecografia B-mode e risonanza magnetica: esperienza …
2012
Obiettivo. Scopo dello studio era valutare l’elasticità del tendine del sovraspinato nella spalla sintomatica di pazienti con sospetto clinico di rottura unilaterale della cuffia dei rotatori, e comparare i reperti riscontrati con quelli dell’ecografia convenzionale (ultrasound, US) e della risonanza magnetica (RM). Metodi. Nel periodo compreso tra gennaio e dicembre 2009 sono state esaminate da un radiologo entrambe le spalle di 58 pazienti (età media: 46 anni; range 32-58 anni) sia con modulo elastosonografico in real-time che in B-mode tramite uno stesso ecografo (EUB - Hitachi 7500), usando una sonda lineare a elevata frequenza (13 MHz). L’elasticità delle fibre tendinee del sovraspinat…
PECULIARE EVOLUZIONE DELLA SEMEIOTICA NEURORADIOLOGICA DI UN CASO DI MALATTIA DEMIELINIZZANTE CON LESIONI PSEUDOTUMORALI
2013
SCOPO DEL LAVORO Presentiamo un caso di una paziente di 24 anni che giunge alla nostra attenzione per la comparsa di disartria come quadro clinico d’esordio di una forma aggressiva di malattia demielinizzante di cui si valuta l’atipica evoluzione neuroradiologica delle lesioni pseudotumorali che la caratterizzano e le possibili diagnosi differenziali. MATERIALI E METODI La paziente dopo una prima valutazione in PS è stata sottoposta a TC encefalo, ricoverata presso l’U.O. di Neurologia, sottoposta a controlli RM seriati (anche con tecniche avanzate); durante la degenza è stata inoltre effettuata una biopsia stereotassica. RISULTATI La TC ha rilevato almeno tre lesioni ipodense: a sinistra…
Oral pigmented lesions:a retrospective analysis from Brazil
2020
Background Pigmented lesions are uncommon in the oral mucosa, and studies investigating the incidence and types of these lesions are desired to improve the diagnostic knowledge of clinicians. The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of oral pigmented lesions in a Brazilian population. Material and Methods A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was performed. Oral pigmented lesions were retrieved from the files of two oral and maxillofacial pathology services from Brazil over a 45-year period (1974-2019). The clinical data and the diagnoses of each case were retrieved and included in a Microsoft Excel® database. Results From 77.074 lesions diagnosed in this period, 76…

The matrix metalloproteinase and insulin-like growth factor system in oral cancer : a prospective clinical study
2017
Aim The absence of reliable single serum biomarkers for oral premalignant lesion (OPL) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) limits early diagnosis, monitoring of advanced disease, and prediction of prognosis. Methods In this prospective study, serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-3, MMP-13, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, and IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 were measured in 81 untreated OSCC patients, 49 healthy subjects, and 75 individuals with OPLs, and correlated with clinicopathological parameters. Results Serum levels of MMP-3 were significantly higher in OSCC patients compared to healthy subjects (p=0.004). Mean IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels in OSCC patients were sign…

Burnout syndrome assessment among Spanish oral surgery consultants: A two populations comparative pilot study.
2021
Background The professional Burnout Syndrome (BOS) or Burnout is considered a professional disease made up of three interrelated dimensions (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal fulfillment). BOS has been documented to most severely affect the healthcare professions, especially dentists. On the other hand, its appearance has been documented at an early age, during dental training. However, there are no studies that analyze its incidence in professionals dedicated to Oral Surgery and Implantology, determining the age of onset and related factors. Material and Methods The modified Maslach questionnaire was carried out anonymously among the professors and students of th…
HIPPOCAMPAL REVERSIBLE LESIONS IN A CASE OF TRANSIENT GLOBAL AMNESIA
2013
PURPOSE: We present a case of transient global amnesia (TGA) onset in a 52-year-old male with a medical history of migraine. METHODS: Patient was taken to ER by his colleagues which reported that after an emotional stress he suddenly appeared perplexed and started asking repetitive questions. In ER a neurological examination excluded other neurological signs or symptoms and it was confirmed that cognitive impairment was limited to the amnesia domain; electroencephalography was unremarkable and he had no history of epileptic seizures or head trauma. At the neurologic examination Capland and Hodges criteria were fulfilled and the diagnostic hypothesis of TGA was placed. He underwent to a brai…
