Nachsorge des Mammakarzinoms

1994

7865 follow-up examinations were performed on 420 patients who had had surgery for carcinoma of the breast; there were 2755 radiographs of the chest, 2660 sonographic examinations of the upper abdomen and 2450 contralateral mammograms. The most common findings were metastases seen on the chest radiographs during the 13-24 and 25-60 months intervals in 4.7% of cases. The incidence increased with initially higher tumour stages and in ductal carcinomas. Sonography of the upper abdomen showed 4.3% of liver involvement, mostly between the second and fifth year; this was independent of tumour stage or the histology of the primary tumour. Positive mammography of the contralateral breast was found …

Pulmonale Manifestationen bei HIV-Patienten: Rolle von Thoraxübersicht, CT und HRCT

1995

Aim To determine the prevalence of pulmonary changes on chest radiographs and computed tomography (CT/HRCT) in HIV patients and their relation to pulmonary symptoms. Material and method 64 HIV patients were examined prospectively. 15 had no respiratory symptoms (group I), 30 had non-specific respiratory symptoms (group II), 19 complained of dyspnoea (group III). Chest radiographs and CT were performed within a week. In patients with positive findings, bronchoscopy was carried out with bacteriological and histological examinations. Results In group 1, 13% of chest radiographs and 40% of CTs showed infiltrative changes. In group II, the figures were 27% and 57% respectively. In group III, abn…

Question of the study We investigated the influence of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields emitted by digital mobile telephones on heart rate variability (HRV) during sleep in healthy young men.

Evaluation von Nierenarterienstenosen: Vergleich von Angiographie mit invasiver Blutdruckmessung und Doppler-Sonographie

2000

Ziel: Der bei einer Nierenarterien-Angioplastie angiographisch gemessene Stenosegrad soll mit dem transstenotischen Blutdruck-Gradienten und dem prainterventionellen dopplersonographischen Befund verglichen werden. Methoden: Anhand von insgesamt 46 Nierenarterienstenosen bei 35 Patienten mit renovaskularer Hypertonie werden die angiographisch-morphologischen Befunde („linearer”, „geometrischer” und „densitometrischer” Stenosegrad) mit der invasiven transstenotischen Blutdruckmessung und den prainterventionellen Doppler-Befunden verglichen. Ergebnisse: Alle angiographisch bestimmten Stenosegrade korrelieren - masig - mit den transstenotischen Druckgradienten (Korrelationskoeffizienten: 0,67 …

Diagnostik der trachealen Instabilität: Spiral-CT in Inspiration und Exspiration und respiratorische cine-CT∗

2000

ry Spiral CT and Cine CT. Purpose: In tracheo- and broncho-malacia, localization and determination of collapse is necessary for planning a surgical procedure. We compared inspiratory and spiral CT, cine CT, and bronchoscopy and evaluated the relevance of each method. Methods: Seventeen patients with suspected or verified tracheal stonosis or collapse underwent paired inspiratory and exspiratory spiral CT and cine CT during continuous respiration (temporal increment 100 ms). The tracheal cross-sectional area was calculated and compared. Results : In addition to bronchoscopy, further information concerning localization, extent, collapse, stability of the tracheal wall, distal portions of the …

Is the EOG Influenced by Nicotine? Relations to the EEG

1973

Cigarette smoking causes a number of effects in the human body, not the least of which may be attributed to nicotine. The problem under investigation is whether, by smoking retinal activity is influenced, and whether measureable changes are found by electrophysiological testing.

Effects of Different Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Parameters on Quadriceps Neuromuscular Performance in Competitive Athletes

2017

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of six weeks of training with two different types of neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) currents on muscle performance in competitive athletes. METHODS: This controlled and randomized clinical trial included 20 athletes, equally divided into three groups: medium frequency current group with 500 μs (MF-500) (n=7), low frequency current group of with 500 μs (PC-500) (n=5) and control group (CG) (n=8). Each group had evaluated, before and after the intervention: the peak torque of knee (PT), muscle thickness and signs of electromyography (EMG) of the vastus lateralis (VL), and the sensory discomfort level (VAS). The training with NMES was performed 3 times…

Peut-on proposer un prélèvement du ganglion sentinelle en cas de chimiothérapie néoadjuvante dans les cancers du sein et à quel moment ?

2016

The main goal of preoperative chemotherapy is to reduce the size of the tumor and allow conservative treatment. Neoadjuvant treatment can affect axillary status with a downstaging in one third of the cases. For these patients, the benefit of axillary node dissection is questioned and the sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) seems to be a relevant option. However, the timing of performing SLNB is still debated especially for clinical negative patients with negative axillary ultrasound before preoperative chemotherapy. For axillary positive nodes proved by biopsy/cytology before preoperative chemotherapy, SLNB can be an option if there is a good clinical and radiological response.

Myoedema

1992

Stationary muscle mounding after muscle percussion without electrical muscle activity is called myoedema. Out of 105 patients with different neurological diseases, 88% had this phenomenon. Muscle conduction velocity and stimulated single fiber EMG disclosed no abnormalities. Myoedema is a normal physiological phenomenon, and its presence does not indicate a neuromuscular disorder.
