Breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infections in fully vaccinated individuals are considered a consequence of waning immunity. Serum antibodies represent the most measurable outcome vaccine-induced B cell memory. When decline, memory cells expected to persist and perform their function, preventing clinical disease. We investigated whether BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine induces durable functional vivo against 3, 6, 9 months after second dose cohort health care workers (HCWs). While we observed physiological...
A prospective study was undertaken in March 1980, at the Vascular Surgery Department of Padua University, Medical School, to establish whether patch graft angioplasty is useful preventing restenosis after carotid endarterectomy (CE). Seventy-four patients underwent 86 CE (bilateral 12 cases) for atherosclerotic disease involving bifurcation. Thirty-eight (51.4%) presented TIA's or non hemispheric symptoms cerebrovascular insufficiency; 30 (40.5%) were asymptomatic and 6 (8.1%) had partial...
The aim of this research is focused on the biological effects multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) three different human cell types, laboratory animals in vivo, and immunological effects. Large numbers researchers are directly involved handling nanostructured materials such as MWCNTs nanoparticles. It important to assess potential health risks related their daily exposure nanotubes. administration sterilized nanosamples has been performed animals, both acute chronic administration,...
This study aims to investigate whether HCWs infected with COVID-19 may experience potential psychological consequences and a higher incidence of depression, anxiety, work-related stress, burnout compared non-infected HCWs. A case-control 774 participants was conducted comparing COVID-19-infected (cases) (controls) from the Occupational Medicine Unit at Teaching Hospital Policlinico Umberto I, who were administered same questionnaire including Anxiety Depression Scale, Copenhagen Burnout...
Continuous intraoperative EEG monitoring and stump pressure measurements were studied during 85 carotid revascularizations performed in 40 symptomatic cerebrovascular patients 32 asymptomatic subjects with a cervical bruit. The decision to place temporary shunt was made on the basis of abnormalities regardless values. 11 contralateral lesions showed marked alterations, at moment clamping, which returned normal after placement an indwelling shunt. Stump values wide variation poor correlation...
Background: The key role of egfr in thymoma pathogenesis has been questioned following the failure identifying recurrent genetic alterations coding sequences and relevant amplification rate. We investigated non-coding CA simple sequence repeat 1 (CA-SSR-1) a case series. Methods: used sequencing egfr-fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH) to genotype 43 thymomas; (I) for polymorphisms somatic loss heterozygosity CA-SSR-1 microsatellite (II) gene copy number changes. Results: found two...
We present a case of young woman with several cystic lesions different origin in both ovaries. The MRI played crucial role for the pre-operative characterization helping to define possible malformative one those then confirmed by laparoscopy as hydatid Morgagni multifocal endometriosis patient. A discussion MR imaging findings is provided follow.
Although pathology of the innominate artery (IA) is not frequent, it causes relevant impairment extracranial circulation and sometimes cerebrovascular events. Definite differentiation high-grade stenosis from occlusion IA has been obtained until with (C.W.) Doppler duplex system ultrasound, thus direct evaluation reliable by noninvasive methods. In this study authors suggest an indirect method, based on carotid, subclavian, verte bral arteries (VA), echo-Doppler-color-flow (EDCF) (with...
