Papillomatosis Gougerot und Carteaud als ektodermale Randsymptomatik bei segment�rer Lipodystrophie
1963
Beschreibung einer Gougerot-Carteaudschen Papillomatose, die bisher ausschlieslich im Bereiche einer segmentaren Fettverteilungsstorung nach Art der progressiven Lipodystrophie zur Ausbreitung gekommen ist. Unter Hinweis auf annahernd vergleichbare Hautbegleiterscheinungen bei anderen vorzugsweise mesenchymalen Konstitutionsabweichungen (z. B. dem Marfan- oder dem Ehlers-Danlos-Syndrom) werden die papillomatosen Veranderungen als ektodermale Randsymptome gewertet.
EXPERIENCE OF REMOVING BENIGN NEOPLASMS OF SKIN IN CERVICOFACIAL AREA USING THE METHOD OF PLASMA ABLATION
2017
Choosing appropriate methods for removal of benign skin lesions (BSL) in the cervicofacial area has always been an important and challenging issue. Removal of the BSL is indicated and performed for medical and aesthetic reasons. A method with less painful procedures, a short healing period, without noticeable long-lasting traces (such as scars, dyschromia) and, predictably, fewer repeat procedures is preferred. Objectives. Evaluation of the effectiveness, safety and convenience of BSL plasma ablation using Plexr® (GMV, Italy); Comparison of the reparative processes speed after the BSL removal in the cervicofacial area applying the Plexr® device with other instrumental methods (based on lite…
Optic neuropathy caused by type A botulinic toxin
2014
Purpose To report the development of an optical neuropathy after injection of type A botulinic toxin in a subject with blepharospasm. Methods Optical neuropathy was evaluated through a complete ophthalmologic examination consisting of bio-microscopy, tonometry and study of visual sharpness, colour test, visual field, OCT, fluorangiography and determination of VEPs. Results Intravenous therapy was begun with Metilprednisolone (20 mg/Kg/day) and Vitamin B6 associated with oral Citicoline, and there was a clear improvement down to normalization of the symptoms. After 6 months the Humphrey computerized visual field with central 30-2 program threshold test emphasised in ODx an upper half-field a…
The vaccinaTion & Hpv Knowledge (THinK) questionnaire: a reliability and validity study on a sample of women living in Sicily (southern-Italy)
2019
Objective The aim of this study was to introduce the VaccinaTion & Hpv Knowledge (THinK) questionnaire to assess knowledge about human papillomavirus (HPV) and attitude to HPV-vaccination. Its reliability and validity was demonstrated in a sample of women living in Sicily (southern Italy). Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a sample of 220 women at the “Paolo Giaccone” University Hospital in Palermo (Sicily), aged 18–61. Data were analyzed through Cronbach’s alpha and exploratory factor analysis, followed by a structural equation model with measurement component. The two-level data structure was explicitly considered. Results Three dimensions were found: “knowledge of HP…
Skip metastases to lateral cervical lymph nodes in differentiated thyroid cancer: a systematic review.
2019
Abstract Papillary thyroid carcinoma is a slow-growing cancer with a generally good prognosis that sometimes have an aggressive behaviour. Metastases to neck lymph nodes is the first step of the diffusion. The central neck compartment is involved most commonly. The ipsilateral lateral neck compartments are usually involved afterwards, and the involvement of the contralateral one is considered a quite rare occurrence. In more rare cases, metastases to lateral neck compartment without central lymph node metastasis (so called “skip metastases”) could be observed. Aim of this literature review study is to analyse the average incidence, pattern and risk factors of this occurrence. This study was…
Ein gestieltes D�nndarmsegment zum zirkul�ren Ersatz des extrahepatischen Gallengangs bei erhaltener papill�rer Passage
1991
The effect of a small bowel segment as a extrahepatic bile duct replacement was examined in 12 pigs followed-up for a period of 420 days. No complications, either during the operation or postoperatively, were observed in any of the animals. The laboratory parameters were within normal range over the entire observation period of 420 days. After 2, 6, and 12 months there was no anastomotic stenosis in the PTC. The intrahepatic biliary tract was not dilated. There was obvious peristalsis of the small bowel transplant towards the papilla of Vater. The autopsy showed that the grafts had healed without any sign of irritation. Histologically the structure of the graft remained undisturbed. There w…
Hemithyroidectomy versus total thyroidectomy in the intermediate-risk differentiated thyroid cancer: the Italian Societies of Endocrine Surgeons and …
2021
The surgical treatment of the intermediate-risk DTC (1–4 cm) remains still controversial. We analyzed the current practice in Italy regarding the surgical management of intermediate-risk unilateral DTC to evaluate risk factors for recurrence and to identify a group of patients to whom propose a total thyroidectomy (TT) vs. hemithyroidectomy (HT). Among 1896 patients operated for thyroid cancer between January 2017 and December 2019, we evaluated 564 (29.7%) patients with unilateral intermediate-risk DTC (1–4 cm) without contralateral nodular lesions on the preoperative exams, chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, familiarity or radiance exposure. Data were collected retrospectively from the clini…
Prevalence and Risk Factors for Anal Human Papillomavirus Infection in Human Immunodeficiency Virus–Positive Men Who Have Sex with Men
2018
A correction has been published:The Journal of Infectious Diseases, Volume 218, Issue 8, 15 October 2018, Page 1350, https://doi.org/10.1093/infdis/jiy315; International audience; Background:We assessed prevalence and risk factors for anal human papillomavirus (HPV) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive men who have sex with men (MSM), who are at high-risk of HPV-related anal cancer.Methods:APACHES is a multicentric, prospective study of anal HPV infection and lesions in HIV-positive MSM aged ≥35 years. At baseline, participants underwent anal swabs for HPV and cytology, plus high-resolution anoscopy. High-risk HPV (HR-HPV) was tested by Cobas4800, with genotyping of HR-HPV positiv…
Predictors of Central Compartment Involvement in Patients with Positive Lateral Cervical Lymph Nodes According to Clinical and/or Ultrasound Evaluati…
2021
Lymph node neck metastases are frequent in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Current guidelines state, on a weak level of evidence, that level VI dissection is mandatory in the presence of latero-cervical metastases. The aim of our study is to evaluate predictive factors for the absence of level VI involvement despite the presence of metastases to the lateral cervical stations in PTC. Eighty-eight patients operated for PTC with level II–V metastases were retrospectively enrolled in the study. Demographics, thyroid function, autoimmunity, nodule size and site, cancer variant, multifocality, Bethesda and EU-TIRADS, number of central and lateral lymph nodes removed, number of positive lymph n…
Induction of Type-Specific Neutralizing Antibodies by Capsomeres of Human Papillomavirus Type 33
2001
Abstract The immunogenicity of capsomeres of human papillomavirus type 33 was evaluated in a dose–response analysis. Capsomeres were obtained free of capsids by expression of L1 carrying the single point mutation C427S. Neutralizing antibodies were detected using an in vitro pseudoinfection assay. Capsomeres induced type-specific, neutralizing antibodies in mice even in the absence of adjuvant. The neutralization titers of immune sera raised without adjuvant were 10- to 20-fold lower than those of antisera to virus-like particles, but virtually identical using Freund's adjuvant. These data indicate that capsomeres may substitute for virus-like particles in future vaccines when used with an …
