Raman Spectroscopy Technology to Monitor the Carotenoids in Skin of Thalassemia Patients: A Novel Non-Invasive Tool Relating Oxidative Stress with Ir…
2014
In this work we approach the relationship between redox state and iron overload by noninvasive instrumental techniques. Intracardiac, liver iron and liver fibrosis have been monitored in transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients by magnetic resonance imaging and hepatic transient elastography examinations. These measurements have been matched with a non-invasive, and yet unexplored in clinical practice, evaluation of body’s oxidative stress through measurement of antioxidant carotenoids in skin, by a spectroscopic method based on Raman technology (RRS). The global body’s antioxidant status results from a balance between the level of antioxidants in cells and body fluids, including blood, a…
How should we determine length of anticoagulation after proximal deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs?
2009
The current approach for deciding the duration of vitamin K antagonist (VKA) treatment after an episode of venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) is mainly based on the characteristic of the index event (3 months or longer in case of unknown/persistent risk factors, 3 months or less in case of removable causes). However, the length of anticoagulation should be tailored on the patient's risk for recurrent thrombosis as well as for bleeding, but such 'time for decision' is often unclear and the optimal duration of VKA remains debatable. The presence of persistent residual vein thrombosis and increased D-dimer levels after stopping therapy are predictors for recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Manage…
Replacement Therapy for Surgery in FVII Deficiency: The Ster Experience Concerning 63 Interventions.
2009
Abstract Abstract 1290 Poster Board I-312 Background Excessive bleeding represents a major complication of surgical interventions, and its control is especially relevant in patients with Congenital Bleeding Disorders. In FVII deficiency, scanty data is available in surgery to guide treatment strategies. Methods The STER (Seven Treatment Evaluation Registry) is a multi-centre, prospective, observational, web-based registry providing the frame for an extensive and structured data collection. Results As of Dec. 2008, sixty-three surgical operations (36 “major” and 27 “minor”) were performed in 54 subjects (29 females and 25 males) with a FVII deficiency (31 previously symptomatic; 9 with FVIIc…
Linfedema: Diagnóstico diferencial y pruebas complementarias
2010
Objetivo Realizar una revisión y actualización del diagnóstico diferencial del linfedema y de las pruebas complementarias necesarias y presentar un algoritmo simplificado del diagnóstico. Estrategia de búsqueda. Se buscaron los artículos originales en las principales bases de datos: National Guideline Clearinghouse, Guidelines Finder de la National Electronic Library for Health del NHS británico, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Knowledge y Medline (19962009), y las monografías más relevantes sobre linfedema. Selección de estudios.Se valoró la relevancia de los artículos mediante la lectura del título y resumen, y se analizó el texto completo de aquellos considerados r…
Viridans streptococcal infective endocarditis associated with fixed orthodontic appliance managed surgically by mitral valve plasty
2018
Abstract Rationale: Streptococcus viridans, a heterogeneous group of alpha-hemolytic streptococci, is part of the normal flora of the mouth, usually responsible for dental caries (Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis), and pericoronitis, as well as for subacute infective endocarditis. They are responsible for 40-60% of the endocarditis cases occurring on the normal valves, especially in male patients and over 45 years of age. A change in the bacterial flora of the oral cavity is taking part after orthodontic fixed appliances are introduced into the oral cavity, change that is associated with an increased concentration of the acidogenic bacteria. Bacteraemia is the consequence of or…
Newborn hearing-screening project using transient evoked otoacoustic emissions: western sicily experience
2006
Summary Objective To study the incidence of congenital sensorineural hearing loss in all newborns introducing a screen test with a protocol no expensive, with a good “screen sensitivity” that could let an earlier identification of hearing impairment beginning early intervention by 2 months of age and increasing the probability of having language development within the normal range of development. Methods The study was conducted in Sciacca hospital from the beginning of 2003 to our days and was carried out with transient evoked otoacoustic emission using the criteria for PASS or RETEST and considering eventual prenatal and perinatal risk factors. All the newborns were divided into four group…
Analytical parameters and vital signs in patients subjected to dental extraction.
2017
BACKGROUND: Dental consultation may provoke stress to the patient, especially when a dental surgery is going to be performed, stressful situations can cause a reaction in the sympathetic nervous system that could lead to cardiovascular alterations. Blood pressure and cardiac frequency are used often as an indirect measurement and this parameters combined can serve as good indicators of stress. Objective: Analyze the changes in vital signs and analytical parameters induced by a dental extraction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 24 healthy patients who required a simple dental extraction underwent to a blood test and motorization of their pre- and post-extraction vital signs before, at 2 and 48 hours a…

Estudio y evaluación de la estabilidad del alcohol etílico en muestras de sangre almacenadas en condiciones de temperatura de congelación
2015
La determinación del alcohol etílico es una de las analíticas más solicitadas en la toxicología forense y su implicación médico legal es de gran importancia. El alcohol etílico es una sustancia volátil y su estabilidad está influenciada por una serie de factores y/o variables, como son condiciones preanalíticas no adecuadas, difusión y redistribución postmortem y generación o pérdidas de alcohol etílico. En base a estos hechos, se ha planteado la presente Tesis ya que las condiciones de almacenamiento de las muestras de sangre constituyen un factor importante en la estabilidad del alcohol etílico y, por consiguiente, puede influir a la hora de informar un resultado fiable y válido cuando se…
