PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate the use of a recently developed expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered nitinol stent-graft in preventing need for repeated intervention after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-three consecutive patients underwent TIPS procedures between January 2000 and February 2002. Minimum patient follow-up was 9 months (mean, 16.3 months). Fifty-six stent-grafts were implanted 53 patients; eight devices...
Intestinal ischemia is an abdominal emergency that accounts for approximately 2% of gastrointestinal illnesses. It represents a complex diseases caused by impaired blood perfusion to the small and/or large bowel including acute arterial mesenteric (AAMI), venous (AVMI), non occlusive (NOMI), ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R), ischemic colitis (IC). In this study different methods (US, CT) will be correlated in detection imaging findings due various etiologies.Basing on our institutions...
Objectives The objective of this study was to determine the impact different metastatic spread patterns on outcome in advanced digestive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Methods This a retrospective analysis patients with stage IV NETs, classified as group 1 (unilobar liver metastases), 2 (bilobar 3 (extra-abdominal metastases). End points were overall survival (OS) and progression-free (PFS). Risk factor performed using Cox proportional hazard model. Results Of 229 patients, 135 (58.9%) had...
Although re-assessment of proliferative activity by K67 evaluation during the course neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) is recommended in selected patients, its impact on patients' management not clear due to lack data supporting this practice.To investigate Ki67 change at time progressive disease (PD) entero-pancreatic NENs (EP-NENs).Retrospective analysis sporadic EP-NENs which received histological after PD once radiologically documented.Forty-three patients were evaluated, including 24...
Introduction Patients with severe acquired brain injury have a high risk of developing clinical complications that affect outcome and rehabilitation program. Early identification would allow to treat them appropriately prevent their worsening. However, available scales for recording are not tailored this population. The present multicenter study aimed at validating new scale categorize the complications: Clinical Complication Scale Fondazione Don Gnocchi (FDG-CCS). Methods Six Intensive...
Left ventricular diastolic filling by Doppler echocardiography was investigated in 84 diabetic patients without evidence of heart disease and normotensive nondiabetic age- sex-matched control subjects. Diabetic were subdivided into two groups on the basis presence arterial hypertension. Group 1 comprised 41 (19 men, 22 women, mean age 63.7 ± 9.1 years); 2 43 hypertensive diabetics (15 28 65.6 9.6 years). measures significantly altered as compared with Peak atrial flow velocity, velocity...
In the present study, we determined incidence of dermatophyte species causing superficial mycoses among outpatients referred to Department Dermatology "La Sapienza" University Rome between 2002 and 2004. Of 3160 subjects studied, 1275 (40.3%) were positive for fungal infection, but only 252 (19.7%) these had infections caused by dermatophytes. The most frequently isolated was Microsporum canis. Our epidemiological data compared with those obtained previously other authors in same geographic...
Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program applied to colorectal laparoscopic surgery is well known reduce hospitalization improving short-terms outcomes. Its goal minimize the surgical stress response in order maintain physiological homeostasis altered by surgery. However, there little knowledge about involved dynamics reduction of that these programs allow. The primary aim this study was compare level immune and nutritional serum investigators across patients undergoing...
Multidisciplinary approach is widely advised for an effective care of patients with neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN). Since data on efficacy multidisciplinary management NENs in referral centers are scanty, this study aimed at analyzing the modality presentation and clinical outcome managed by a dedicated team.In prospective observational study, we included all consecutive new visiting Sant'Andrea Hospital Rome (ENETS-Center Excellence) between January 2014 June 2018.A total 195 were...
Summary Direct microscopic examination of potassium hydroxide (KOH)‐prepared specimens is the simplest, cheapest method used for diagnosis mycotic infections skin. However, KOH preparations have been reported to 5–15% false‐negative results, possibly because low visibility scant, scattered fungal material nail scrapings and detection elements depends on skill observer [ Arch Dermatol 133 (1997) 1317; Clin Microbiol Rev 8 (1995) 240]. We compared two different KOH‐based staining methods in...
Congenital anomalies of superior vena cava (SVC) are generally discovered incidentally during central venous catheter (CVC) insertion, pacemaker electrode placement, and cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Persistent left SVC (PLSVC) is a rare (0.3%) anomaly in healthy subjects, usually asymptomatic, but when present undiagnosed, it may be associated with difficulties complications CVC placement. In individuals congenital heart anomalies, its prevalence up to 10 times higher than the general...
