Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) in adults are exceedingly rare, with only a few documented cases medical literature. The spectrum of clinical presentations varies widely, ranging from asymptomatic to severe symptoms such as hematemesis, vomiting or abdominal pain. Among the less common complications associated GDCs, segmental portal hypertension is notable rarity. We present compelling case report patient exhibiting signs hypertension, where ultrasound and echo-endoscopy revealed sizable...
Gastric cancer stands as the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, primarily comprising adenocarcinomas, categorized by anatomic location and histologic type. Often diagnosed at advanced stages, gastric prognosis remains poor. To address critical need for accurate tumoral markers diagnosis, we conducted a study to assess classical like CEA CA-19-9 alongside novel marker miR-106. Our investigation revealed distinct dynamics these compared non-cancerous groups, although no...
Inflammatory biomarkers, including Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), play a significant role in influencing stroke outcomes, particularly the progression of post-stroke disability. While numerous studies have suggested correlation between elevated levels these cytokines poor functional recovery, further investigation is needed to understand their prognostic value acute ischemic stroke. We conducted prospective study on 56 patients diagnosed with stroke,...
In the present era, post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) stands out as one of most commonly occurring complications associated with endoscopic choledochal lithiasis extraction. The ability to predict occurrence such an event, particularly by utilizing absolute values and ratio dynamics emergency blood tests, constitutes primary step in effectively managing a patient complex pathology. study involved 134 patients who performed ERCP extract (n = 48 PEP n 86 without PEP). results revealed increased...
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the treatment of Clostridioides Difficile (CD)-infected patients given increasing number co-infections with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this context, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) shows promise in modulating immune system’s function and alleviating burdens associated condition. Methods: To achieve goal, we performed a comparative, retrospective, single-center study on 86 (admitted between January...
In this study, we investigated the outcomes of laparoscopic approaches for adrenal tumor resection in 67 patients from a single center with median age 51 (range 40-79). Predominantly comprising women, majority were overweight or obese. Adrenal tumors larger than 6 cm mostly treated using transperitoneal method (p < 0.001). Our results revealed that subjected to retroperitoneal approach exhibited quicker recovery, as evidenced by faster resumption oral intake and ambulation, along reduced...
In the present study, we aimed to validate two instruments designed assess self-stigmatization: Self-Stigma of Mental Illness Scale and Paradox Scale. Responses from 326 psychiatric patients (58% women) diagnosed with internalizing externalizing disorders were collected evaluate instruments' structural validity, measurement invariance, reliability, convergent, criterion validity. Confirmatory factor analyses offered support for intended structure both pattern associations other investigated...
Learning disabilities (LDs) have an estimated prevalence between 5% and 9% in the pediatric population are associated with difficulties reading, arithmetic, writing. Previous electroencephalography (EEG) research has reported a lag alpha-band development specific LD phenotypes, which seems to offer possible explanation for differences EEG maturation. In this study, 40 adolescents aged 10–15 years LDs underwent 10 sessions of Live Z-Score Training Neurofeedback (LZT-NF) improve their...
Neonatal brain injury or neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is a significant morbidity and mortality factor in preterm full-term newborns. NE has an incidence the range of 2.5 to 3.5 per 1000 live births carrying considerable burden for neurological outcomes such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy, cognitive impairments, hydrocephaly. Many scoring systems based on different risk combinations regression models have been proposed predict abnormal outcomes. Birthweight, gestational age, Apgar scores, pH,...
: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a well-established treatment for various psychiatric disorders. This retrospective study evaluates anesthesia practices, patient characteristics, and outcomes in ECT over two-year period at the "Dr. Gheorghe Preda" Clinical Psychiatry Hospital Sibiu, Romania.
Abstract Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been a controversial topic, both in the general population and medical community since its initial implementation 1938. Despite clinical applications proven efficacy psychiatric neurological pathologies, such as schizophrenia, catatonia, psychotic disorders, depressive episodes, Parkinson’s disease pathological conditions that occurr during pregnancy or childbed, reluctance to apply ECT persists due low degree of information professional training....
The present study explored whether exposure to complex childhood trauma (CCT) is reflected in the resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) temporal alpha power of trauma-exposed adolescents, given association with fear circuitry (learning and conditioning) a sample 25 adolescents similar controls, ages 12-17 years. Both psychopathology were screened or assessed, EEG was recorded, following preregistered protocol for data collection. Temporal power, corresponding T5 T6 electrode location...
The present study explored whether, given the association of temporal alpha with fear circuitry (learning and conditioning), exposure to complex childhood trauma (CCT) is reflected in temporal–posterior power resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) trauma-exposed adolescents a sample 25 similar controls aged 12–17 years. Both psychopathology were screened or assessed, EEG was recorded following preregistered protocol for data collection. Temporal–posterior power, corresponding T5 T6...
