Current role of computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle biopsy of metastatic lung lesions.

2015

ABSTRACT  Aim: As part of the Catania symposium on lung metastasectomy we reviewed our practice of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy of pulmonary metastatic lesions with particular emphasis on diagnostic accuracy and nature of complications lesions. Materials & methods: 25 patients with metastatic lesions of the lung have been evaluated between May 2010 and February 2014. Inclusion criteria consisted of patients with histologically confirmed, metastatic disease of the lung, those receiving a CT-guided needle biopsy, were at least 18 years of age; and with adequate hepatic, renal and hematological function. We recorded also the size of the sampled …

Impotenza maschile e chirurgia protesica

2016

In merito alle possibili implicazioni sul piano della validità e della consumazione in senso canonico di un matrimonio in cui l'uomo sa affetto da un'impotenza organica non curabile farmacologicamente, ma solo tramite un intervento chirurgico di implantologia peniena, occorre considerare alcuni specifici aspetti. Innanzitutto, si deve verificare se l'atto coniugale compiuto utilizzando una protesi peniena possa essere considerato come posto in essere humano modo nel senso previsto dal can. 1681, § 1 oppure se integri i requisiti richiesti dal vigente codice. Ulteriormente, occorre valutare se tale tecnica chirurgica possa essere considerata - dal punto di vista dell'antropologia cristiana -…

Neurochemical correlates of brain atrophy in fibromyalgia syndrome: a magnetic resonance spectroscopy and cortical thickness study

2020

(1) Background: Recently, a series of clinical neuroimaging studies on fibromyalgia (FM) have shown a reduction in cortical volume and abnormally high glutamate (Glu) and glutamate + glutamine (Glx) levels in regions associated with pain modulation. However, it remains unclear whether the volumetric decreases and increased Glu levels in FM are related each other. We hypothesized that higher Glu levels are related to decreases in cortical thickness (CT) and volume in FM patients. (2) Methods: Twelve females with FM and 12 matched healthy controls participated in a session of combined 3.0 Tesla structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and single-voxel MR spectroscopy focused on the thalami…

ASSOCIAZIONE DI SERENOA REPENS, URTICA DIOICA E PINUS PINASTER. SICUREZZA ED EFFICACIA NEL TRATTAMENTO DEI SINTOMI DEL BASSO TRATTO URINARIO. STUDIO …

2010

INTRODUCTION. Serenoa repens (saw palmetto) has been employed for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) for several years. Its mechanism of action is believed to be due to antiandrogenic, antiproliferative and antinflammatory properties. An association of Serenoa with the nettle “Utica dioica” showing antiproliferative activity and the pine “Pinus pinaster” derivative, showing antinflammatory action, has been proposed in recent years. Such an action is hoped to act not only by reducing LUTS but also by preventing the development of prostate cancer. MATHERIAL AND METHODS. During the years 2007 and 2008, 320 patients suffering from LUTS were treated with an association of Seren…

Robot acceptance model for care (RAM-care) : A principled approach to the intention to use care robots

2020

Robots are emerging in welfare services, and organizations require information on whether novel technologies are approved among staff. On the basis of technology acceptance theories, this study proposes a model that adds a principled approach to the intention to use care robots. Data of 544 professionals with care robot experience were collected. The use intention was predicted by usefulness, enjoyment, social influence, and attitude. Respondents who found robots useful and accepted by their colleagues were more likely to view robot use as consistent with their personal values. The care robot acceptance model supports consideration of the profession-specific context in robotization. peerRev…

Buenas prácticas docentes en la Facultat de Fisioteràpia. Libro de resúmenes

2021

Conocer, desarrollar y compartir experiencias de buenas prácticas docentes constituye un elemento fundamental para mejorar los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje en contextos universitarios. Esto es especialmente relevante si consideramos la situación actual generada por los cambios sobrevenidos por la COVID-19, en la que la implantación de la docencia y de la evaluación a distancia adquiere un papel destacado en la docencia universitaria. Por todo ello, desde una de las acciones del Plan de Innovación de Centro de la Facultat de Fisioteràpia de la Universitat de Valencia, se plantearon estas jornadas. Su objetivo era compartir las experiencias de innovación docente de los últimos cursos des…

Targeting antibiotic resistant bacteria with phage reduces bacterial density in an insect host

2019

Phage therapy is attracting growing interest among clinicians as antibiotic resistance continues becoming harder to control. However, clinical trials and animal model studies on bacteriophage treatment are still scarce and results on the efficacy vary. Recent research suggests that using traditional antimicrobials in concert with phage could have desirable synergistic effects that hinder the evolution of resistance. Here, we present a novel insect gut model to study phage–antibiotic interaction in a system where antibiotic resistance initially exists in very low frequency and phage specifically targets the resistance bearing cells. We demonstrate that while phage therapy could not reduce th…

Supporting parents of children with chronic conditions: A randomized controlled trial of web-based and self-help ACT interventions

2021

Objective Many parents of children with chronic conditions and developmental disabilities experience high rates of burnout and psychological distress. The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of two differently delivered interventions based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on symptoms of burnout, depression, quality of life, psychological flexibility, and mindfulness skills. Method A total of 110 parents of children aged 0.8 to 17 years with chronic conditions and developmental disabilities participated in a randomized controlled trial lasting 13 weeks with two intervention groups: (1) an iACT intervention, including three psychologist-led video conferencing session…
