Intraoperative measurement of parathyroid hormone: A Copernican revolution in the surgical treatment of hyperparathyroidism
2016
Intraoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) monitoring in the setting of the operating room represents a valuable example of the rationale use of the laboratory diagnostic in a patient-oriented approach. Rapid intraoperative PTH (ioPTH) assay is a valid tool for an accurate evaluation of the success of parathyroid surgery. The reliability of the user-friendly portable systems as well as the collaboration between operators and surgical staff allow the one-site monitoring of the ioPTH decrements on the course of the surgical management of hyperparathyroidism. The rapid answer provided by an effective decrement of PTH during parathyroidectomy contributes dramatically to the efficacy of parathyroi…
Subjective Assessment of Head and Facial Appearance in Children with Craniosynostoses after Surgical Treatment
2018
Background: Craniosynostoses are congenital defects in the construction of the skull involving premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. Premature fusion of sutures causes characteristic skull deformation(s). This affect the structure and thus the appearance of the entire head and face. The aim of this study was to analyze parents&rsquo
Adjuvant Effect of Titanium Brushes in Peri-Implant Surgical Treatment: A Systematic Review
2021
Background: the prognosis of peri-implant surgery can be affected by poor decontamination of the implant surface, which could be improved with the use of titanium brushes. The objectives of this systematic review were to evaluate the effectiveness of titanium brushes in the decontamination of the implant surface in terms of plaque index, probing depth, bleeding on probing and bone loss/gain; as well as its effectiveness according to the type of peri-implant bone defect. Methods: an electronic search was carried out in the PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane and Embase databases, as well as a manual search. The search strategy included four keywords: “Peri-implantitis”, “Periimplantitis”, “Implant Surf…
Effect of a single initial phase of non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis: Abrasive air polishing versus ultrasounds. A prospective randomized c…
2020
Background Non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis includes a correct mechanical debridement of the implant surface to reduce the inflammation and recondition the soft tissues. The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of a single phase of non-surgical therapy by comparing the effect of curettes and ultrasounds versus curettes and abrasive air polisher (Air-Flow) in the peri-implant tissue conditions, and patient satisfaction. Material and Methods A double-blind randomized and controlled prospective clinical study was conducted on patients in peri-implant maintenance phase diagnosed of peri-implantitis treated in the Oral Surgery Unit of the Stomatology Department of the Faculty o…

Lesión compleja del codo pediátrico: fractura de cóndilo externo asociada a luxación posteromedial de codo.
2020
espanolAntecedentes y objetivo: La fractura de condilo externo asociada a una luxacion posteromedial de codo es una entidad muy rara, de la cual existen muy pocos casos publicados. Nuestro objetivo es presentar un caso complejo tratado en nuestro centro, el diagnostico, el tratamiento elegido, y el seguimiento a las 9 semanas. Caso clinico: varon de 5 anos con una luxacion posteromedial de codo asociada a una fractura de condilo externo, diagnosticada mediante TC y tratada de forma quirurgica mediante un abordaje anterior sobre el codo, reduccion abierta y osteosintesis con agujas de Kirschner. Resultados: los resultados clinicos y radiologicos a las 9 semanas son excelentes, presentando un…
Inestabilidad de la articulación tibio-peronea proximal como causa de dolor en artroplastia total de rodilla primaria.
2020
espanolLa inestabilidad de la articulacion tibio-peroneaproximal (ATPP) aislada como causa de dolor en una rodilla protetizada es una entidad clinica muy poco frecuente, hasta la fecha solo hemos encontrado una referencia en la bibliografia de inestabilidad ATPP asociada a Artroplastia total de rodilla. Revisamos la bibliografia sobre las diferentes formas de inestabilidad y su etiologia, asi como las posibilidades de tratamiento conservador y quirurgico. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con inestabilidad ATPP anterolateral asociada a una ATR primaria posteroestabilizada (PS) con platillo tibial movil.

German registry for acute aortic dissection type A (GERAADA)--lessons learned from the registry.
2010
A German registry for acute aortic dissection type A (GERAADA) was initiated by the Working Group for Aortic Surgery and Interventional Vascular Surgery of the German Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (GSTCVS) in July 2006. This web-based database was developed to record the data of patients who had undergone surgery for aortic dissection type A. From analyzing the data, we aim to learn how to improve surgical treatment and to identify parameters affecting patient outcome. In the beginning, 33 cardiac centers participated via online access to the registry on the GSTCVS' homepage. Since then, 43 centers in Germany, Switzerland and Austria have begun entering data on the pre- an…
Hemangiopericytoma of the Lung - a Rare Differential Diagnosis of Lung Tumors
1988
The authors report of a 50 year old woman who was operated on because of a rectum carcinoma 5 years ago. At a follow-up examination a 2 x 2 x 1 cm sized tumor was found in the lower lobe of the right lung. Under the diagnosis of lung metastasis after rectum carcinoma resection, operation (wedge resection) was carried out. The histological examination revealed the rare tumor hemangiopericytoma. Based on this case, frequency of the tumor, clinical symptoms, surgical treatment, prognosis as well as recurrence rate and formation of metastases are discussed.
Position paper on nasal obstruction: evaluation and treatment.
2018
Nasal obstruction (NO) is defined as the subjective perception of discomfort or difficulty in the passage of air through the nostrils. It is a common reason for consultation in primary and specialized care and may affect up to 30%-40% of the population. It affects quality of life (especially sleep) and lowers work efficiency. The aim of this document is to agree on how to treat NO, establish a methodology for evaluating and diagnosing it, and define an individualized approach to its treatment. NO can be unilateral or bilateral, intermittent or persistent and may be caused by local or systemic factors, which may be anatomical, inflammatory, neurological, hormonal, functional, environmental, …
