Abstract Chronic venous ulceration ( CVU ) of the lower limbs is a common condition affecting 1% adult population in Western countries, which burdened with high complication rate and marked reduction quality life often due to prolonged healing time. Several metalloproteinases MMPs such as MMP ‐9 together neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin NGAL appear be involved onset phases ulcer, but it still unclear how many biochemical components are responsible for time those ulcers. In this...
Identifying sex-related differences/variables associated with 30 day/1 year mortality in patients chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).Multicenter/retrospective/observational study. A database was sent to all the Italian vascular surgeries collect operated on for CLTI 2019. Acute lower-limb and neuropathic-diabetic foot are not included.One year. Data demographics/comorbidities, treatments/outcomes, were investigated.Information 2399 cases (69.8% men) from 36/143 (25.2%) centers. Median...
In making healthcare management decisions, clinicians must weigh up the benefits and harms of alternative strategies. Guidelines are useful tools for administrators, policy makers, managers, clinical leaders care givers to achieve this aim. recommendations may be produced in three different ways: small panels experts, consensus conferences on basis evidence. Expert organisations offering community have often erred as a result not taking sufficient account Moreover so-called evidence-based...
Groin hernia is one of the most frequently encountered pathologies occurring in old age and it often cause emergency procedures. In our study we evaluate impact procedures over 75 patients compared to younger patients. We conducted a retrospective about who underwent hernioplasty between September 2007 January 2013. Bilateral hernias recurrences were excluded. divided into two groups by (under years old) then analyzed early postoperative surgical complications. A total 48 enrolled, 18...
The inguinal hernia is one of the most common diseases in elderly. Treatment this type pathology exclusively surgical and relies almost always on use local anesthesia. While past surgery was carried out mainly by general anesthesia, recent years there has been growing emphasis role aim our study to compare intra-and postoperative analgesia obtained levobupivacaine compared with that bupivacaine. Bupivacaine main anesthetics used intervention hernioplasty. Levobupivacaine an enantiomer...
Inguinal hernioplasty is well established as a day-surgery procedure, our purpose to assess the safeness of this approach in elderly patients. A total 292 inguinal were performed between June 2009 and February 2013. Patients divided into 3 groups depending on age postoperative complications compared these groups. Despite large number higher risk (ASA 3-4) patients rate comorbidity older patients, unplanned admission postoperative, symptoms comparable with those for younger Ambulatory surgery...
Old age is associated with comorbidity and decreased functioning which influences treatment decisions in elderly breast cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for complications after surgery patients, assess mortality patients postoperative complications. We retrospectively considered all female aged 65 years older invasive situ who were diagnosed treated between 1997 2012 the Department General Geriatric Surgery University Naples "Federico II". 449 received...
The effect of undertreatment with adjuvant hormonal therapy, chemotherapy or radiation was studied in elderly women breast cancer.A prospectively maintained database used to identify undergoing potentially curative surgery between 1997 and 2011. presentation, pathologic findings, treatment outcomes 449 over 65 were compared the findings 1049 younger patients. Moreover, conventionally treated undertreated patients identified their characteristics compared.Both young old presented most...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety hernioplasty under local anaesthesia in elderly patients with significant comorbidity. A total 218 underwent inguinal hernia repair mesh between June 2009 July 2012. Presence comorbid conditions complications were compared younger older than 70 years. Hernia more likely associated their counterparts ( hypertension: 25% vs 8.16%; cardiovascular diseases: 50% 22%; benign prostatic hypertrophy 60% 30%). most common postoperative...
Introduction: In cancer patients, the chest computer tomography (CT) can be used to identify asymptomatic pulmonary embolism (APE). most cases, these patients are treated with anticoagulant drugs for at least 3 months. The American College of Physicians recommend treatment as symptomatic embolism. this study, we evaluated and compared efficacy safety fondaparinux vs warfarin in prevention unsuspected active cancer. Materials methods: A prospective parallel group study was performed on 64 (29...
Substantial progresses in the management of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have been made past two decades. Progress understanding endothelial-platelet interaction during health and state has resulted better antiplatelet drugs that can prevent platelet aggregation, activation thrombosis angioplasty stenting. A role physiological pathological angiogenesis adults recently shown bone marrow–derived circulating endothelial progenitors (BM-DCEPs) identified blood. These findings paved way for...
Concentrated Growth Factors (CGF) is a concentration of second generation autologous growth factors compared to platelet rich plasma (PRP) and represents multifactorial stimulation system that can be used for the management treatment chronic skin ulcers.The aim this work evaluate additional benefits CGF standard dressing its effects on dynamics healing process.Autologous CGFs were obtained from 100 patients with mixed ulcers (venous in II stage claudication) lower limbs multicentric...
