Surgical site infections (SSIs) determine an increase in hospitalization time and antibiotic therapy costs. The aim of this study was to identify the germs involved SSIs patients from Clinical Emergency County Hospital Craiova (SCJUC) assess their resistance antimicrobials, with comparisons between surgical wards intensive care unit (ICU). biological samples were subjected classical bacteriological diagnostics. Antibiotic tested by disc diffusion. We used hierarchical clustering as a method...
To evaluate the clinical non-inferiority of a 3-day protocol systemic antibiotics adjunctive to subgingival instrumentation (SI) compared with 7-day-protocol in patients Stage III/IV Grade C periodontitis.Fifty systemically healthy (32.7 ± 4.3 years) aggressive periodontitis (AgP; periodontitis) were treated by SI and amoxicillin metronidazole randomly assigned Group A: (n = 25) 500 mg (AB) 3 times day for days, followed placebo 4 or B: AB 7 days. Clinical, microbial, immunological...
<h3>Background</h3> Escherichia coli is the most common bacteria involved in aetiology of urinary tract infections (UTI). <h3>Purpose</h3> The aim study to compare susceptibility antibacterial agents strains isolated from adults and children. <h3>Materials methods</h3> was conducted between 1.01.2009-31.12.2010 on 192 patients divided two groups. Group A-72 hospitalised children under 15 years with clinical signs UTI. B – 120 adult outpatients who had presented various conditions...
to assess the incidence of osteoporosis in a cohort SLE patients and determine possible correlations with disease activity, organ damage glucocorticoid therapy.We analyzed that included 25 consecutive patients, diagnosed according ACR revised criteria, 21 controls, same demographic characteristics. We assessed demographic, life style related, clinical, biologic immunologic data; also, we registered information about treatment calculated activity scores. Bone mineral density was measured both...
Over the past decades, management of rheumatic diseases improved both due to development new drugs and imaging techniques.The aim this study was evaluate type frequency different structures involvement in hand patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis gout compared osteoarthritis Methods: We designed an observational, transverse study, which included 110 consecutive evaluated Rheumatology Department, Emergency County Hospital Craiova, during one year 2014-2015, from 50 were...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term clinical results after treatment of multiple adjacent recession type (RT) I and II gingival recessions treated with modified coronally advanced tunnel (MCAT) in conjunction a porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM). METHOD AND MATERIALS Nine periodontally healthy nonsmoking patients (seven women, 37.5 ± 7.36 years old) total 41 RT (n = 23) 18) exhibiting minimum depth 2 mm were by means MCAT+PADM. Recession width, width attached keratinized tissue,...
<h3>Background</h3> Changes in glucidic metabolism characteristic of diabetes are a contributing factor causing vulvovaginal candidiasis. <h3>Purpose</h3> The objective this study was evaluating the prevalence morbidity through vaginal candidiasis with Candida albicans diabetic women and instituting specific antifungal therapy. <h3>Materials methods</h3> conducted on 140 (aged between 22-40 years) diabetes, admitted Diabetes Nutrition diseases clinic from Clinical Emergency Hospital Craiova,...
Reactive arthritis is an inflammatory joint disease which develops after 1-4 weeks following enteral, genital or ORL infection, with a higher frequency in HLA-B27 positive patients.The objective of this paper to study the importance antigen development reactive arthritis.The transversal, observational was conducted Rheumatology Clinic University Medicine and Pharmacy Craiova during period 2012-2015 included 112 patients. They were divided into three groups, as follows: group I (52 cases), II...
to assess synovial inflammation using musculoskeletal ultrasonography, in a cohort of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis, and establish the correlations disease activity score.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy is an essential treatment for heart failure patients. Candidates typically have cardiomyopathy accompanied by delayed electrical activation in the left ventricular lateral wall, causing uncoordinated contractions and worsening failure. Heart severity can be assessed with functional tests: cardiopulmonary test, which a maximal exercise remains gold standard, but 6 min walk test has emerged as easier, faster, more comfortable alternative to used clinicians...
<title>Extract</title> Induced sputum is an easy, non-invasive, reproducible and inexpensive tool to collect cells from airways. It has been used for monitoring the airway inflammation guide treatment in context of asthma with success since years now recognised as a gold standard management severe patients by world guidelines (<ext-link>https://ginasthma.org</ext-link>).
Abstract Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy represents a well established treatment for heart failure patients, recommended those with severely depressed left ventricular systolic function and bundle branch block. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between electrocardiographic changes, clinical, functional, demographic parameters improvement in ejection fraction after therapy. Another focus identify which have predictive value better patient selection proper...
Background Worldwide, chronic infection with HBV and HDV occurs in more than 10 million people higher rates of developing cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation hepatocellular carcinoma. Peginterferon (pegIFN) for 48 weeks is one the current therapies, poor response rates; prolonging therapy beyond 12 months might be benefit patients. In order to assess a prolonged pegIFN therapy, we present 2 patients B/D coinfection, treated alpha 2a, 180 mcg weekly 96 monitored, at least, every three complete...
The statistics proved that approximately 25% of the patients with acute HCV present jaundice, and only 10-20% develop gastrointestinal symptoms. We case a 58 year-old woman, prior antecedents arterial hypertension diabetes mellitus since 25 years old, hypercholesterolemia hypertriglyceridemia, psoriasis, epilepsy depressive syndrome. She clinically presents asthenia, anorexia, itching, jaundice choluria. objective examination showed an orientated patient, without flapping, hemorrhagic...
Early inflammatory arthritis (EIA) a condition defined by joint swelling, with or without morning stiffness, and/or swelling of metacarpophalangeal metatarsophalangeal joints. Nail fold video-capillaroscopy (NVC) is important for the evaluation microcirculation in vivo. There are limited data about role NVC EIA.To study capillaroscopic pattern patients EIA.27 EIA - 21 women, 6 men, mean age 41.6±4.2 yrs, disease duration 6.9±3.1 months. Anamnesis and clinical examination were perform to...
<h3>Background</h3> Hyperuricemia has been associated with the development of hypertension, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus and represents a well recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease. <h3>Objectives</h3> To determine ultrasonographic (US) changes suggestive gouty arthritis in joints hyaline cartilage from hypertensive patients hyperuricemia asymptomatic arthritis. <h3>Methods</h3> We performed cross-sectional, controlled study including US examinations first...
<h3>Background</h3> Management of spondylarthritis (SA) has evolved lately, in part due to new biologic therapies and because the imaging techniques that can depict earlier involvement joints tendons. <h3>Objectives</h3> evaluate, by ultrasonography (US), prevalence type ankle tendons patients with spondylarthritis. <h3>Methods</h3> Thirty-four SA pain were included study (12 ankylosing spondylitis - AS, 11 psoriatic arthritis PsA reactive -ReA).

<h3>Background</h3> Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have achieved clinical remission (CR) or low disease activity (LDA) may synovitis detectable by ultrasound (US) and continue to get joint distruction. Despite an essential role for RA patients stability mobility, the ankle joints are frequently omitted in scoring systems including DAS 28. Consequently 28 CR LDA maintain a symptomatic only few studies assessed pathologies detected ultrasonography these circumstances....
